Abstract

In one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a processor configured to select a first image, resize the selected first image to a first resized image, enhance the quality of the first resized image to generate a second image, display the second image, resize, when the displayed second image is designated as an object to be shared, the selected first image to a second resized image, and enhance the quality of the second resized image to generate a third image, the third image sent to the second application program and/or the external device.

Claims (27)

1. An electronic apparatus, configured to execute a first application program for displaying an image, comprising:

a storage configured to store sharing partner data indicative of an external device and/or a second application program, the second application program comprising a function of sharing images with the first application program; and

a processor configured to:

select a first image to be displayed by the first application program;

resize the selected first image to a first resized image, the first resized image configured for display on the electronic apparatus;

enhance the quality of the first resized image to generate a second image;

display the second image;

resize, when the displayed second image is designated as an object to be shared, the selected first image to a second resized image, the second resized image configured for the second application program and/or the display of the external device based on the sharing partner data stored in the storage; and

enhance the quality of the second resized image to generate a third image, the third image sent to the second application program and/or the external device.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the sharing partner data comprises resolution of an image allowed to be processed by the second application program and/or resolution of the external device, and

the processor is further configured to resize the first image to the second resized image based on the resolution in the sharing partner data.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to erase data tagged with the third image, when the data is not preferable to be tagged with the third image in the second application program.

4. An image sharing method, executed by an electronic apparatus configured to execute a first application program for displaying an image, comprising:

selecting a first image to be displayed by the first application program;

resizing the selected first image to a first resized image, the first resized image configured for display on the electronic apparatus;

enhancing the quality of the first resized image to generate a second image;

displaying the second image;

resizing, when the displayed second image is designated as an object to be shared, the selected first image to a second resized image, the second resized image configured for a second application program and/or the display of an external device based on the sharing partner data indicative of an external device or a second application program, the second application program comprising a function of sharing images with the first application program; and

enhancing the quality of the second resized image to generate a third image, the third image sent to at the second application program and/or the external device.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program for displaying an image which is executable by a computer, the computer program comprising instructions capable of causing the computer to execute functions of:

selecting a first image to be displayed by the program;

resizing the selected first image to a first resized image, the first resized image configured for display on the electronic apparatus;

enhancing the quality of the first resized image generate a second image;

displaying the second image; and

resizing, when the displayed second image is designated as an object to be shared, the selected first image to a second resized image, the second resized image configured for a second application program and/or the display of an external device based on the sharing partner data indicative of an external device and/or the second application program, the second application program comprising a function of sharing images with the first application program; and

enhancing the quality of the second resized image to generate a third image, the third image sent to the second application program and/or the external device.
