Abstract

A portable electronic device according to the present disclosure comprises: a memory for storing moving image data; a touch screen for receiving a touch input related to a summation of the moving image data; and a control unit for generating a summary of the moving image data in response to the touch input, wherein the control unit extracts objects included in the moving image data, detects a section in which at least one object among the extracted objects appears and then disappears, and generates a summary of the moving image data by editing the moving image data on the basis of the detected section.

Claims (20)

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a camera configured to capture images;

a display having a first region to display a preview image received from the camera, and a second region to display the images captured through the camera in a preset layout; and

a controller configured to capture the images through the camera based on a capture command, display the images captured through the camera on the second region according to the preset layout, and generate a composite image based on a user control command for storing the composite image while the captured images are displayed on the second region,

wherein the controller generates a composite object corresponding to the preset layout for the generation of the composite image, generates linkage information between the generated composite object and image data of the captured images in a manner that the captured images are located in specific sizes at specific positions of the composite object, and generates the composite image based on the generated linkage information and original data of the captured images,

wherein the composite object is stored together with the original data of the captured images, image data of the composite image, and the linkage information, and

wherein the linkage information includes relative position information among the image data, and size information related to the image data.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller executes an edit mode when a preset touch is applied to the composite image, changes position information or size information using the original data stored together with the composite image based on a control command for changing positions or sizes of the images forming the composite image in the edit mode, and re-generates linkage information including the changed position information or size information.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller extracts image data corresponding to a plurality of faces included in the preview image based on a face recognition algorithm, and processes the extracted image data corresponding to the plurality of faces to be linked with the composite object.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller determines a layout of the composite object based on a number of persons indicated by the plurality of faces corresponding to the extracted image data.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller sequentially plays back the captured images according to a trajectory of a touch input applied to the composite image when the captured images are moving images.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller sequentially plays back the captured images based on an order in which the trajectory of the touch input is detected.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller sequentially plays back the captured images, in response to a release of the touch input.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller controls a volume of at least one of moving images included in the composite image based on a user control command when the captured images are the moving images.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller mutes the at least one moving image, in response to a touch input being applied to the at least one moving image while the moving images included in the composite image are being played back simultaneously.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller changes audio data of at least one of moving images included in the composite image into prestored audio data, based on a user control command, when the captured images are the moving images.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the controller outputs an audio list indicating the prestored audio data based on a user control command for changing audio data.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the camera to capture a new image to be merged at a position where a specific image has been displayed, in response to a touch input being applied to the specific image among the captured images.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 12 , wherein the controller displays the captured new image at the position where the specific image has been displayed when the new image is captured through the camera.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the image data of each of the captured images has a different data format.
