Continuous video capture during switch between video capture devices
A method provides capturing video information in an electronic device. Capturing video information comprises capturing video, using a first video capture device of the electronic device, switching video capture between the first video capture device and a second video capture device of the electronic device, and continuing video capture while switching between the first video capture device and the second video capture device.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a first camera;
a second camera; and
a processor configured to:
control the display to display video captured by the first camera based on a first user input;
receive a second user input while video captured by the first camera is being displayed by the display;
control the display to display both video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera based on the second user input;
receive a third user input while both video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera are being displayed by the display;
select one video from the video captured by the first camera and the video captured by the second camera based on the third user input, in order to display the selected video in a first display area of the display and display the other video in a second display area of the display, wherein a size of the first display area being larger than or be equal to a size of the second display area; and
store video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera as a combined video in a single video file, wherein the single video file includes an embedded interactive property that provides for toggling between video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera during playback.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first display area is a full screen view and the second display area is a thumbnail view.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first camera is front camera and the second camera is rear camera.
4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the processor further configured to change location of the thumbnail based on a fourth user input.
5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first display area and the second display area are disposed in a side-by-side screen format on the display.
6. A method of video display comprising:
controlling, using a processor, a display to display video captured by a first camera based on a first user input;
receiving a second user input while video captured by the first camera is being displayed by the display;
controlling the display to display both video captured by the first camera and video captured by a second camera based on the second user input;
receiving a third user input while both video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera are being displayed by the display; and
selecting one video from the video captured by the first camera and the video captured by the second camera based on the third user input, in order to display the selected video in a first display area of the display and display the other video in a second display area of the display, wherein a size of the first display area being larger than or be equal to a size of the second display area; and
storing video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera as a combined video in a single video file, wherein the single video file includes an embedded interactive property that provides for the toggling between video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera during playback.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first display area is a full screen view and the second display area is a thumbnail view.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the video captured by the first camera is a forward facing video and the second camera is a rearward facing video in relation to the display.
9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising
changing location of the thumbnail based on a fourth user input.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first display area and the second display area are disposed in a side-by-side screen format on the display.
11. A non-transitory computer readable medium with instructions thereon for execution by a processor of a method of video display comprising:
controlling, using a processor, a display to display video captured by a first camera based on a first user input;
receiving a second user input while video captured by the first camera is being displayed by the display;
controlling the display to display both video captured by the first camera and video captured by a second camera based on the second user input;
receiving a third user input while both video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera are being displayed by the display;
selecting one video from the video captured by the first camera and the video captured by the second camera based on the third user input, in order to display the selected video in a first display area of the display and display the other video in a second display area of the display, wherein a size of the first display area being larger than or be equal to a size of the second display area; and
storing video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera as a combined video in a single video file, wherein the single video file includes an embedded interactive property that provides for the toggling between video captured by the first camera and video captured by the second camera during playback.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first display area is a full screen view and the second display area is a thumbnail view.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12 , further comprising changing location of the thumbnail based on a fourth user input.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first display area and the second display area are disposed in a side-by-side screen format on the display.
