Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic device including an image obtaining device configured to obtain at least one pieces of image data, at least one sensor to sense movement of a user, a display, at least one processor electrically connected to the image obtaining device, the at least one sensor, and the display, and a memory electrically connected to the at least one processor to store instructions that when executed, cause the processor to obtain multiple pieces of first image data through the image obtaining device while obtaining data associated with a first movement of the user through the at least one sensor, obtain multiple pieces of second image data through the image obtaining device while obtaining data associated with a second movement of the user through the at least one sensor, process the multiple pieces of first image data through a first image processing scheme corresponding to the first movement and output a processing result through the display, and process the multiple pieces of second image data through a second image processing scheme corresponding to the second movement and different from the first image processing scheme, and output a processing result through the display. Moreover, various embodiment found through the present disclosure are possible.

Claims (48)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a camera;

at least one sensor;

a display;

at least one processor electrically connected to the camera, the at least one sensor, and the display; and

a memory electrically connected to the at least one processor to store instructions,

wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

obtain multiple pieces of image data through the camera while obtaining data associated with a movement of the electronic device through the at least one sensor;

when the multiple pieces of image data are obtained through the camera while obtaining first data associated with a first movement of moving the electronic device in a first type through the at least one sensor, process the multiple pieces of image data according to a first image processing scheme; and

when the multiple pieces of image data are obtained through the camera while obtaining second data associated with a second movement of moving the electronic device in a second type different from the first type through the at least one sensor, process the multiple pieces of image data according to a second image processing scheme; and

output the processed multiple pieces of the images to the display,

wherein the first image processing scheme comprises one of a panorama processing scheme, a surround processing scheme or a wide selfie processing scheme, and

wherein the second image processing scheme comprises another one of the panorama processing scheme, the surround processing scheme or the wide selfie processing scheme.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

obtain position data while obtaining the data associated with the first movement through the at least one sensor; and

generate the multiple pieces of image data based on the position data.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

synthesize the multiple pieces of image data through the first image processing scheme, when the first data associated with the first movement of the electronic device is obtained.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the multiple pieces of image data include first image data including a first area and second image data including a second area including an object identical to an object of the first area, and

wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

process the multiple pieces of image data using one of the first area and the second area.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

allow the memory to store the at least one pieces of image data.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

allow the memory to store a processing result of the at least one pieces of image data.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the multiple pieces of image data include third image data and fourth image data, and

wherein the multiple pieces of image data are processed based on continuity between the third image data and the fourth image data.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

obtain the multiple pieces of image data in response to a user input while an application associated with the camera is running on the display.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the user input corresponds to a long press input through the display.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

obtain the data associated with the movement of the electronic device while the long press input is obtained.

11. A method performed in an electronic device, the method comprising:

obtaining multiple pieces of image data;

obtaining data associated with a movement of the electronic device through at least one sensor;

when the multiple pieces of image data are obtained through a camera while obtaining first data associated with a first movement of the electronic device through the at least one sensor, processing the multiple pieces of image data according to a first image processing scheme;

when the multiple pieces of the image data are obtained through the camera while obtaining second data associated with a second movement of the electronic device through the at least one sensor, processing the multiple pieces of image data according to a second image processing scheme; and

outputting the processed multiple pieces of the images to a display,

wherein the first image processing scheme comprises one of a panorama processing scheme, a surround processing scheme or a wide selfie processing scheme, and

wherein the second image processing scheme comprises another one of the panorama processing scheme, the surround processing scheme or the wide selfie processing scheme.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

obtaining position data associated with the multiple pieces of the image data; and

processing the multiple pieces of the image data based on the position data.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

determining whether at least two pieces of the image data of the multiple pieces of the image data include a same object; and

obtaining one piece of the image data of the at least two pieces of the image data, when the at least two pieces of the image data include a same object.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

processing the multiple pieces of the image data using data associated with the same object included in the one piece of the image data.
