Abstract

A digital image processing apparatus and a method of controlling the same. The digital image processing apparatus includes: a display controller for displaying first content on a display unit; and an image generator for generating second content based on a photographing signal input, which may be from a user, and third content related to the second content.

Claims (62)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a display;

memory; and

a controller configured to:

display, via the display, a moving image including a plurality of images including a first image;

receive an input in relation with the first image as displayed via the display;

generate a second image corresponding to the first image based at least in part on the input; and

store the second image in the memory as separate from the moving image.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a camera, wherein the controller is configured to:

obtain the moving image using the camera.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to:

capture, as at least part of the generating, a still image or another moving image as the second image, a corresponding one of the still image having a resolution different from that of the moving image obtained using the camera.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

generate, as the second image, another moving image using at least the first image.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to:

generate the other moving image using two or more images of the plurality of images within a specified time interval with respect to a time corresponding to the first image.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to:

use the first image as part of the two or more images used.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

associate meta data with the moving image or the second image, the meta data indicating a relation between the moving image and the second image.

8. An apparatus comprising:

a display;

memory to store a first image; and

a controller configured to:

display the first image via the display;

receive an input in relation with the first image as displayed via the display;

determine whether a second image related to the first image exist; and

display, via the display, the second image in relation with the first image based at least in part on a determination that the second image exists.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first image or the second image comprises at least one image of a plurality of images forming a moving image.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first image comprises a first one of a still image and a moving image, and the second image comprises a second one of the still image and the moving image.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first image comprises at least one image of a moving image, and wherein the controller is configured to:

reproducing the moving image via the display, the reproducing including displaying a first indication corresponding to the first image or a second indication corresponding to the second image in relation with a progress of the moving image.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the controller is configured to:

present, as at least part of the indication, a thumbnail image or a progress time pointer.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the memory includes meta data indicating a relation between the first image and the second image, and wherein the controller is configured to:

perform the determining based at least in part on the meta data.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to:

display the first image and the second image sequentially.

15. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to:

display the first image and the second image concurrently at least temporarily.

16. An image processing apparatus comprising:

a display; and

a processor configured to:

receive a user input comprising a command to display a still image;

determine whether a moving image comprising a frame corresponding to the still image is pre-generated; and

display the still image and the moving image in different regions of the display based on a result of the determining.

17. The image processing apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the processor controls the display to display the still image on an entire region of the display and display the moving image on partial region of the display.

18. The image processing apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the processor controls the display to display the moving image on an entire region of the display and display the still image on a partial region of the display.

19. The image processing apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the processor controls the display to display the still image on the display based on the result of the determining.

20. The image processing apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the moving image comprises a moving image corresponding to frames during a certain time section based on a point of time the user input is received.

21. The image processing apparatus of claim 20 , wherein the moving image comprises any one of a moving image corresponding to frames during the certain time section before and after the point of time when the user input is received, a moving image corresponding to frames during the certain time section before the point of time when the user input is received, and a moving image corresponding to frames during the certain time section after the point of time the user input is received.

22. An image processing apparatus comprising:

a display; and

a processor configured to:

receive a user input comprising a command to display a still image;

determine whether a moving image comprising a frame corresponding to the still image is pre-generated; and

display the still image and the moving image at different points of time based on a result of the determining.

23. The image processing apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the processor controls the display to display the still image if the moving image is not pre-generated, and controls the display to display the moving image on the display after the still image is displayed on the display if the moving image is pre-generated.

24. The image processing apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the processor controls the display to display the still image if the moving image is not pre-generated, and controls the display to display the still image on the display after the moving image is displayed on the display if the moving image is pre-generated.

25. The image processing apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the processor controls the display to display the still image based on the result of the determining.

26. The image processing apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the moving image comprises a moving image corresponding to frames during a certain time section based on a point of time the user input is received.

27. The image processing apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the moving image comprises any one of a moving image corresponding to frames during the certain time section before and after the point of time the user input is received, a moving image corresponding to frames during the certain time section before the point of time the user input is received, and a moving image corresponding to frames during the certain time section after the point of time the user input is received.
