Abstract

In an electronic apparatus and a control method therefor, the electronic apparatus comprises a memory, a display, and a processor to process at least one image information stored in the memory. The processor can identify the ratio and dominant color of at least one image based on the at least one image information, identify the type of layout based on the number of the at least one image and the identified ratio of the at least one image, arrange the at least one image in the identified type of the layout, identify the color for the layout based on the size of the arranged image and the identified dominant color, and display, on the display, the layout in which the identified color is arranged and the at least one image is arranged.

control the speaker to output the identified sound.

5 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the processor is further configured to:

identify a common object that is in at least two images among the plurality of images based on image information of the at least two images, and

based on the identified common object, correct a region of the displayed at least one image.

6 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a communicator configured to receive configuration information including a filter type,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on the received configuration information, display, on the display, the at least one image with a filter applied to the at least one image.

7 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the layout includes an image region and an information region, and

the processor is further configured to:

display, on the display, a weather condition, a date, a time, or a combination thereof in the information region.

8 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the processor is further configured to:

based on the image information, identify a type of the at least one image, and

based on the identified type, display, on the display, the at least one image with a filter applied to the at least one image.

9 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the processor is further configured to:

based on the image information, identify a type of the at least one image, and

based on the identified type, group the at least one image with at least one another image of the plurality of images that is identified as being of a corresponding type into a group of images, and

based on the group of images,

identify a type of the layout for the group of images,

arrange the at least one image and the at least one another image that are grouped in the identified type of the layout for the group of images,

based on the size of the at least one image, a size of the at least one another image, and a dominant color of the at least one image and the at least one another image that are grouped, identify the color for the layout of the group of images, and

display, on the display, the group of images in the layout for the group of images in which the identified color for the layout of the group of images is arranged.

10 . The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the processor is further configured to:

switch between a first group of images that are grouped and a second group of images that are grouped at predetermined intervals.

11 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the processor is further configured to:

based on the image information, identify a type of the at least one image,

based on the identified type, identify an image selection pattern,

based on the identified image selection pattern, group the at least one image with at least one another image of the plurality of images that is identified as being of a corresponding type into a group of images, and

based on the group of images,

identify a type of the layout for the group of images,

arrange the at least one image and the at least one another image that are grouped in the identified type of the layout for the group of images,

based on the size of the at least one image, a size of the at least one another image, and a dominant color of the at least one image and the at least one another image that are grouped, identify a color for the layout of the group of images, and
