Abstract

A mobile terminal, controlling method thereof and recording medium thereof are disclosed, by which video contents can be efficiently edited. The present invention includes a touchscreen configured to display a video content and a controller controlling a progress bar for the video content to be displayed on the touchscreen, the controller controlling a 1 st time indicator and a 2 nd time indicator to be displayed on the progress bar, the controller controlling a 1 st scene at a 1 st time corresponding to the 1 st time indicator and a 2 nd scene at a 2 nd time corresponding to the 2 nd time indicator to be displayed on the touchscreen.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile terminal comprising:
a touchscreen configured to display information;
a memory configured to store information; and
a controller configured to:
enter a video editing mode for editing video content in response to a first touch input to a first random location of the touchscreen and a second touch input to a second random location of the touchscreen;
control the touchscreen to display the video content and a progress bar for the displayed video content;
control the touchscreen to display a first time indicator and a second time indicator on the displayed progress bar;
control the touchscreen to display a first scene in a first region of the touchscreen at a first time corresponding to the first time indicator;
control the touchscreen to display a second scene in a second region of the touchscreen at a second time corresponding to the second time indicator;
control the touchscreen to display the first time indicator being moved to an updated first time along the progress bar in response to dragging of the first touch input and display the second time indicator being moved to an updated second time along the progress bar in response to dragging of the second touch input of the touchscreen,
wherein the first time indicator is moved by a first distance when the first touch input is dragged a first length along a straight path within the first region and starting from the first random location, and moved by a different second distance when the first touch input is dragged the same first length along a curved path within the first region and starting from the first random location;
wherein the second time indicator is moved by the first distance when the second touch input is dragged by the first length along a straight path within the second region and starting from the second random location, and moved by the different second distance when the second touch input is dragged the same first length along a curved path within the second region and starting from the second random location; and
cause the memory to store a video file corresponding to a portion of the video content starting from the updated first time and ending at the updated second time in response to an input command.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
terminate the video editing mode if the gap between the first and second time indicators is less than a preset value; and
not terminate the video editing mode if the gap between the first and second time indicators is greater than or equal to the preset value.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first region and second region are different regions of the touchscreen.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the touchscreen to move both the first time indicator and the second time indicator along the progress bar in response to detecting a touch input on the touchscreen that is dragged to a third region of the touchscreen.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the touchscreen to:
display numerical values of the first time indicator and the second time indicator;
change the displayed first scene to a scene corresponding to a modified value of the first time indicator when the numerical value of the first time indicator is modified; and
change the displayed second scene to a scene corresponding to a modified value of the second time indicator when the numerical value of the second time indicator is modified.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the touchscreen to replace the displayed video content with video content corresponding to the stored video file.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
control the touchscreen to replace the displayed video content with video content corresponding to a remaining portion of the displayed video content with the exception of video content between the displayed first time indicator and the displayed second time indicator;
create new video content different from the replaced video content; and
cause the memory to store the created new video content.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
determine whether the touchscreen is in portrait mode or landscape mode; and
control the touchscreen to:
vertically arrange the displayed first scene and the displayed second scene such that they are symmetrical to each other with reference to the displayed progress bar when it is determined that the touchscreen is in portrait mode; and
horizontally arrange the displayed first scene and the displayed second scene such that they are symmetrical to each other with reference to a center line of the touchscreen when it is determined that the touchscreen is in landscape mode.

9. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
entering a video editing mode for editing video content in response to a first touch input to a first random location of the touchscreen and a second touch input to a second random location of the touchscreen;
displaying video content and a progress bar for the displayed video content on the touchscreen;
displaying a first time indicator and a second time indicator on the displayed progress bar;
displaying a first scene in a first region of the touchscreen at a first time corresponding to the first time indicator;
displaying a second scene in a second region of the touchscreen at a second time corresponding to the second time indicator;
moving the first time indicator to an updated first time along the progress bar in response to dragging of the first touch input and moving the second time indicator to an updated second time along the progress bar in response to dragging of the second touch input;
wherein the first time indicator is moved by a first distance when the first touch input is dragged a first length along a straight path within the first region and starting from the first random location, and moved by a different second distance when the first touch input is dragged the same first length along a curved path within the first region and starting from the first random location;
wherein the second time indicator is moved by the first distance when the second touch input is dragged by the first length along a straight path within the second region and starting from the second random location, and moved by the different second distance when the second touch input is dragged the same first length along a curved path within the second region and starting from the second random location; and
storing a video file corresponding to a portion of the video content starting from the updated first time and ending at the updated second time in response to an input command.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
terminating the video editing mode if the gap between the first and second time indicators is less than a preset value; and
not terminating the video editing mode if the gap between the first and second time indicators is greater than or equal to the preset value.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first region and second region are different regions of the touchscreen.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising moving both the first time indicator and the second time indicator along the progress bar in response to detecting a touch input on the touchscreen that is dragged to a third region of the touchscreen.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
displaying numerical values of the first time indic
