Mobile Terminal Capture Image Activation Metadata
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals are inconvenient for users as they cannot easily activate application programs or display the same screen configuration when capturing an image, requiring manual manipulation of the application program during image capture.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a memory to save data, a display unit to show the active screen, and a controller to extract activation information from the screen and save it as metadata in a capture image, allowing users to easily activate the application program by processing the extracted information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a capture image is created by a handwritten input command or capture command of related art, then the capture image performs the function of simply outputting image data, but it is unable to perform more functions such as activating application programs or displaying the same screen configuration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds activation information (such as application program identifiers and screen configuration data) within the capture image file structure, similar to nesting one object inside another. The capture image contains both the visual image data and embedded metadata that enables additional functions like application activation and screen reproduction, thereby increasing versatility without requiring separate external data files
Solution Approach 2:
The capture image is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as a simple image output, stores activation information for application programs, and contains screen configuration data for reproducing the original screen state. This multi-functional design allows a single data structure to replace what would traditionally require multiple separate files or data structures
2Ease of operation
If a user wants to output the same screen configuration of a capture image, then the user must manually activate the application program and manipulate it to display the active screen at the time of capturing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and stores activation information (application program identifiers, screen configuration parameters) at the moment the capture image is created. This preliminary action captures all necessary data needed for later automatic reproduction of the screen state, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through applications to recreate the original screen configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The activation information embedded in the capture image serves as an intermediary that bridges the capture image and the application program. When the user interacts with the capture image, this embedded information automatically triggers the appropriate application program to launch and display the correct screen configuration, eliminating the need for direct manual manipulation of the application

AI summary
Disclosed as a mobile terminal and controlling method thereof, by which a capture image used to play a role in delivering information only is utilized as a medium for activating a target application program. The present invention disclose a mobile terminal comprising a memory configured to save data, a display unit configured to display an active screen of an application program, and a controller configured to, if a capture command is inputted, extract an activation information related to the active screen which is set as a capture target, and control a capture image having the extracted activation information saved as metadata to be created.
