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 (34)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

an image sensor;

a non-transitory memory;

a transitory memory;

one or more processors configured to:

store a plurality of images in the transitory memory based on an image signal obtained from the image sensor;

in response to a first user input for capturing an image, store a moving image in the non-transitory memory, the moving image comprising:

a first plurality of images corresponding to a first predetermined time interval before a time point of the first user input obtained from the plurality of images stored in the transitory memory,

an image corresponding to the time point of the first user input, and

a second plurality of images corresponding to a second predetermined time interval after the time point of the first user input, and

in response to a second user input, control the display to display the moving image stored in the non-transitory memory and to display the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input stored in the non-transitory memory.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to maintain at least one frame obtained from the image sensor for a predetermined interval in the transitory memory.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input is different from a starting frame of the moving image.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second user input comprises a single selection of an object corresponding to the moving image and the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a file comprising the moving image comprises information about the moving image and the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input.

6. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

an image sensor;

a memory having a first area for storing data temporarily and a second area for storing data permanently;

one or more processors configured to:

store a plurality of images in the first area of the memory based on an image signal obtained from the image sensor;

in response to a first user input for capturing an image, store a moving image in the second area of the memory, the moving image comprising:

a first plurality of images corresponding to a first predetermined time interval before a time point of the first user input obtained from the plurality of images stored in the first area of the memory,

an image corresponding to the time point of the first user input, and

a second plurality of images corresponding to a second predetermined time interval after the time point of the first user input, and

in response to a second user input, control the display to display the moving image stored in the second area of the memory and to display the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input stored in the second area of the memory.

7. A method of controlling an electronic device, comprising:

storing a plurality of images in a transitory memory based on image signal obtained from an image sensor;

in response to a first user input for capturing an image, storing a moving image in a non-transitory memory, the moving image comprising:

a first plurality of images corresponding to a first predetermined time interval before a time point of the first user input obtained from the plurality of images stored in the transitory memory,

an image corresponding to the time point of the first user input, and

a second plurality of images corresponding to a second predetermined time interval after the time point of the first user input, and

in response to a second user input, controlling a display to display the moving image stored in the non-transitory memory and to display the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input stored in the non-transitory memory.
