Abstract

In an image/audio playback technology in a mobile communication terminal, a single image is divided into two halves, i.e., left-half and right-half images, which are displayed on two mobile communication terminals, respectively. In addition, two mobile communication terminals can play left-side and right-side audio data, respectively, which compose stereo audio data, according to the relative locations of the two mobile communication terminals.

Claims (28)

1. An image playback device, comprising:

a controller configured to recognize a relative location of a plurality of divided image data from a singular image to be displayed in multiple display units and to transmit a first one of the plurality of divided image data to a first display unit according to a relative location of the first display unit in relation to a second display unit; and

the second display unit configured to display a second one of the plurality of divided image data,

wherein the first one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on a left side of the second display unit, and

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on the right side of the second display unit.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of divided image data comprises at least one of a photo, a moving picture, and an animation.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of divided image data is decoded image data.

4. An apparatus, comprising:

a control circuitry configured to:

recognize a relative location of a first display unit in relation to a second display unit,

recognize a relative location of a plurality of divided image data from the singular image,

transmit a first one of the plurality of divided image data to a first display unit, and

transmit a second one of the plurality of divided image data to a second display unit,

wherein:

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on a left side of the second display unit, and

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on the right side of the second display unit.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of divided image data comprises at least one of a photo, a moving picture, and an animation.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of divided image data is decoded image data.

7. A method, comprising:

recognizing a relative location of a first display unit in relation to a second display unit;

recognizing a relative location of a plurality of divided image data from the singular image;

transmitting a first one of the plurality of divided image data to a first display unit; and

transmitting a second one of the plurality of divided image data to a second display unit, wherein:

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on a left side of the second display unit, and

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on the right side of the second display unit.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of divided image data comprises at least one of a photo, a moving picture, and an animation.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of divided image data is decoded image data.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising resizing a pixel size of the decoded image data.
