Method and apparatus for providing video in portable terminal

1. A method of providing a video in a portable terminal, the method comprising:

monitoring whether an execution request event for a multi-camera mode of a portable terminal is generated;

when the execution request event is generated, executing a virtual multi-preview menu including a plurality of preview regions, which is divided into independent separate regions and displays a plurality of different contents, respectively;

when the virtual multi-preview menu is executed, recording the plurality of preview regions as a multi-preview image, so that the different contents are displayed on the plurality of preview regions, respectively, with a virtual camera implemented in the portable terminal,

wherein the plurality of preview regions comprise:

a left upper preview region displaying front video data provided from a front camera;

a right upper preview region displaying rear video data provided from a rear camera;

a left lower preview region reproducing an entire portion of video data pre-stored in a memory; and

a right lower preview region reproducing animation data pre-stored in the memory;

changing a point being played in the video data displayed in the left lower preview region or the animation data displayed in the right lower preview region by using a user interface; and

transmitting multi-content data generated by matching an audio signal input from the outside and the multi-preview image to an additional service server or another portable terminal through a network in real time,

wherein the content displayed on each preview region is individually rotated in any one direction among upper, lower, left, and right directions and a diagonal direction based on an inclination event of the portable terminal,

wherein each preview region is individually zoomed in or zoomed out based on a zoom-in request event or a zoom-out request event.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each operation for recording the plurality of preview regions is executed through an image providing application or a camera application mounted on the portable terminal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each preview region is added to or deleted from the virtual multi-preview menu based on a region addition event or a region deletion event.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the virtual camera is a three-dimensional (3D) camera which photographs a 3D display of the multi-preview image.

5. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium stored in a computer program to cause a processor to perform a method of providing a video in a portable terminal, the method including:

monitoring whether an execution request event for a multi-camera mode of a portable terminal is generated;

when the execution request event is generated, executing a virtual multi-preview menu including a plurality of preview regions, which is divided into independent separate regions and displays a plurality of different contents, respectively;

when the virtual multi-preview menu is executed, recording the plurality of preview regions as a multi-preview image, so that the different contents are displayed on the plurality of preview regions, respectively, with a virtual camera implemented in the portable terminal,

wherein the plurality of preview regions comprise:

a left upper preview region displaying front video data provided from a front camera;

a right upper preview region displaying rear video data provided from a rear camera;

a left lower preview region reproducing an entire portion of video data pre-stored in a memory; and

a right lower preview region reproducing animation data pre-stored in the memory;

changing a point being played in the video data displayed in the left lower preview region or the animation data displayed in the right lower preview region by using a user interface; and

transmitting multi-content data generated by matching an audio signal input from the outside and the multi-preview image to an additional service server or another portable terminal through a network in real time,

wherein the content displayed on each preview region is individually rotated in any one direction among upper, lower, left, and right directions and a diagonal direction based on an inclination event of the portable terminal,

wherein each preview region is individually zoomed in or zoomed out based on a zoom-in request event or a zoom-out request event.

6. An apparatus for providing a video in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:

an event detecting unit configured to monitor whether an execution request event for a multi-camera mode of a portable terminal is generated;

a camera controlling unit configured to activate a front camera and a rear camera when the execution request event is generated;

a preview menu executing unit configured to execute a virtual multi-preview menu including a plurality of preview regions, which is divided into independent separate regions and displays a plurality of different contents, respectively,

a multi-image obtaining unit configured to photograph a multi-preview image so that the different contents are displayed on the plurality of preview regions, respectively, by using a virtual camera implemented in the portable terminal when the virtual multi-preview menu is executed;

a content generating unit configured to generate multi-content data by inserting an audio signal into the multi-preview image and to record the multi-content data in a memory;

a preview region switching unit configured to individually rotate the content displayed on each preview region in any one direction among upper, lower, left, and right directions and a diagonal direction based on an inclination event of the portable terminal; and

a zoom executing unit configured to individually zoom in or zoom out each preview region based on a zoom-in request event or a zoom-out request event,

wherein the plurality of preview regions comprise:

a left upper preview region displaying front video data provided from a front camera;

a right upper preview region displaying rear video data provided from a rear camera;

a left lower preview region reproducing an entire portion of video data pre-stored in the memory; and

a right lower preview region reproducing animation data pre-stored in the memory,

wherein the multi-image obtaining unit changes a point being played in the video data displayed in the left lower preview region or the animation data displayed in the right lower preview region by using a user interface.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the content generating unit transmits the generated multi-content data to an additional service server or another portable terminal through a data transmitting and receiving unit in real time.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising:

a preview region managing unit configured to add or delete a preview region to or from the virtual multi-preview menu based on a region addition event or a region deletion event.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the virtual camera is a three-dimensional camera which photographs a 3D display of the multi-preview image.
