Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory electrically connected with the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions executed to enable the processor to obtain an image and output a message generated based on additional information and an image analysis result obtained by analyzing the obtained image.

Claims (56)

1. An electronic device comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the electronic device to:

obtain an image,

identify at least one person of the obtained image by analyzing at least one face object in the obtained image,

identify at least one recipient of the obtained image,

identify a relationship between the identified at least one person and the identified at least one recipient, the relationship comprising at least one of a family relationship or a friend relationship,

generate a message associated with the obtained image based on the identified relationship, and

output the message.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the identified relationship includes information independent from the analysis of the obtained image.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the identified relationship includes at least one of a relationship between a sender of the obtained image and a recipient of the obtained image, a relationship between the sender of the obtained image and the subject, or a relationship between the recipient of the obtained image and the subject.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the identified relationship includes information from a first application that is different from a second application outputting the message.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the instructions further causes the electronic device to:

identify metadata of the obtained image, and

obtain the information from the second application based on the metadata.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the identified relationship includes information related to at least a portion of the analysis, and

wherein the message is generated based on additional information.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the instructions further causes the electronic device to:

obtain a result of identifying a first object of the obtained image,

wherein the additional information corresponds to the result of the identifying of the first object.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further causes the electronic device to:

identify a shape of the first object, and

compare an object template with the shape of the first object,

wherein, when a similarity of the object template is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the additional information corresponds to object-related information of the shape of the first object.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further causes the electronic device to:

obtain a different image from the obtained image,

identify the object template from the different image,

store the object template, and

store information related to the object template as the object-related information.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a camera configured to capture an image of the user,

wherein the instructions further causes the electronic device to identify the user based on data from the camera, and

wherein the message is further generated based on additional information corresponding to a result of the identifying of the user.

11. A method for controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:

obtaining an image;

identifying at least one person of the obtained image by analyzing at least one face object in the obtained image;

identifying at least one recipient of the obtained image;

identifying a relationship between the identified at least one person and the identified at least one recipient, the identified relationship comprising at least one of a family relationship or a friend relationship;

generating a message associated with the obtained image based on the identified relationship; and

outputting the message.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the identified relationship includes information independent from the analysis of the obtained image.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the identified relationship includes at least one of a relationship between a sender of the obtained image and a recipient of the obtained image, a relationship between the sender of the obtained image and the subject, or a relationship between the recipient of the obtained image and the subject.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the identified relationship includes information from a first application that is different from a second application outputting the message.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

identifying metadata of the obtained image; and

obtaining information from the second application based on the metadata.

16. The method of claim 11 ,

wherein the identified relationship includes information related to at least a portion of the analysis, and

wherein the message is generated based on additional information.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

obtaining a result of identifying a first object of the obtained image,

wherein the additional information corresponds to the result of the identifying of the first object.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

identifying a shape of the first object; and

comparing an object template with the shape of the first object,

wherein, when a similarity of the object template is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the additional information corresponds to object-related information of the shape of the first object.
