Abstract

A shot image display system includes a shooting device for transferring a shot image and blur produced at the time of shooting, and an image receiving device for receiving the shot image and blur transmitted from the shooting device. The image receiving device includes a blur correcting unit for executing blur correction for the received shot image based on the received blur, and a display unit for displaying the shot image corrected by the blur correcting unit.

Claims (25)

1. An image receiving device, comprising:

a receiving unit that receives image information and blur information from a remote device over a communications network, wherein the blur information is determined by the remote device during acquisition of the image information;

a blur detecting unit that measures blur information of the image receiving device during acquisition of the image information by the remote device and that determines a blur difference between the received blur information and the measured blur information;

a blur correcting unit that generates corrected image information by executing blur correction on the received image information based on the blur difference; and

a display unit that displays the corrected image information.

2. The image receiving device according to claim 1 , wherein the blur detecting unit includes at least one of a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor.

3. A portable videophone comprising:

the image receiving device according to claim 1

a shooting unit that acquires second image information;

a transmitting unit that transmits the second image information to the remote device; and

a communication unit that provides voice communication with the remote device.

4. A method of controlling an image receiving device, the method comprising:

receiving image information from a remote device;

receiving blur information from the remote device, wherein the blur information is determined by the remote device during acquisition of the image information:

measuring blur information of the image receiving device during acquisition of the image information by the remote device;

determining a blur difference between the received blur information and the measured blur information;

generating corrected image information by executing blur correction on the received image information based on the blur difference; and

displaying the corrected image information.

5. A method of operating a server provided for a communication network, the method comprising:

receiving image information from a shooting device;

receiving first blur information from the shooting device, wherein the first blur information is determined by the remote device during acquisition of the image information;

receiving second blur information from an image receiving device, wherein the second blur information is determined by an image receiving device during acquisition of the image information by the remote device;

determining a blur difference between the first blur information and the second blur information;

generating corrected image information by performing blur correction on the image information based on the blur difference; and

transmitting the corrected image information to the image receiving device.
