Patent number: 8670022Abstract: A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the operation of the same are provided. In the method, a screen including a preview image of a camera is displayed on a display module. Then, a preview window is set in a region of the screen and a predictive image of a three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic image, which can be generated using images of a subject corresponding to the preview image, is displayed on the preview window. Thus, when images are captured to obtain a 3D stereoscopic image, the user can easily operate the camera using such a 3D stereoscopic image preview function.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Jonghwan Kim, Jeongryoul Choi

Publication number: 20140063321Abstract: A display control apparatus which is capable of preventing incorrect operation against user's intent during multi-touch operation. When a touch at one point is detected, and then, plural touches are not detected until any touch at one point is not detected, scrolling is performed in response to the touch at one point leaving a display while moving irrespective of whether a predetermined condition is satisfied. When touches at a plurality of points are detected, and then, a touch at only one point is detected, scrolling is performed in response to moving of the touch at one point while it is continuously detected irrespective of whether the predetermined condition is satisfied. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, and then, the touch leaves the display while moving, scrolling is performed. When the touch at one point leaves the display without satisfying the predetermined condition, scrolling is not performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Rui Nabeshima
