Abstract

An example system includes an electronic device and a server. The electronic device includes a display; a first communicator; and a first controller configured to: control to transmit, to the server, location data identifying locations of the electronic device. The server includes a second communicator; and a second controller configured to: control to receive the location data; identify a course of travel; link photograph images to locations on the course of travel; and control to transmit to the electronic device the course of travel and the photograph images. The first controller of the electronic device is configured to control to receive the course of travel and the photograph images and to control to display on the display, at the same time, a map image, the course of travel, and one or more of the photograph images linked to a selected location on the course of travel.

Claims (42)

1. A server comprising:

communication circuitry; and

one or more processors configured to:

control to receive, from an electronic device, via the communication circuitry, location data identifying locations of the electronic device;

identify a course of travel based on the location data;

link photograph images to locations on the course of travel; and

control to transmit, to the electronic device, via the communication circuitry, the course of travel and the photograph images for use by the electronic device in displaying, at the same time, a map image, a course of travel, and one or more photograph images linked to a selected location on the course of travel.

2. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the location data includes location information geotagged to the photograph images.

3. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is configured to obtain the photograph images from an external storage medium.

4. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the course of travel is based on a time order of the location information.

5. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the photograph images are captured by the electronic device.

6. A control method for a server, the control method comprising:

receiving, from an electronic device, location data identifying locations of the electronic device;

identifying a course of travel based on the location data;

linking photograph images to locations on the course of travel; and

transmitting to the electronic device the course of travel and the photograph images for use by the electronic device in displaying, at the same time, a map image, a course of travel, and one or more photograph images linked to a selected location on the course of travel.

7. The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the location data includes location information geotagged to the photograph images.

8. The control method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

obtaining the photograph images from an external storage medium.

9. The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the course of travel is based on a time order of the location information.

10. The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the photograph images are captured by the electronic device.

11. A server comprising:

a communication circuitry; and

one or more processors configured to:

control to receive, from an electronic device, via the communication circuitry, location data identifying locations of the electronic device;

identify a course of travel based on the location data;

link first images comprising photographs and one or more second images different from the first images to locations on the course of travel; and

control to transmit, to the electronic device, via the communication circuitry, the course of travel and the first and second images for use by the electronic device in displaying, at the same time, a map image and one or more of the second images, the one or more of the second images being related to a first image linked to a selected location on the course of travel.

12. The server according to claim 11 , wherein the location data includes location information geotagged to the first images.

13. The server according to claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors is configured to obtain the first images from an external storage medium.

14. The server according to claim 11 , wherein the server further comprises a memory storing the second images.

15. The server according to claim 11 , wherein the second images are rotatable based on an input to the electronic device.

16. A control method for a server, the control method comprising:

receiving, from an electronic device, location data identifying locations of the electronic device;

identifying a course of travel based on the location data;

linking first images comprising photographs and one or more second images different from the first images to locations on the course of travel; and

transmitting to the electronic device the course of travel and the first and second images for use by the electronic device in displaying, at the same time, a map image and one or more of the second images, the one or more of the second images being related to a first image linked to a selected location on the course of travel.

17. The control method according to claim 16 , wherein the location data includes location information geotagged to the first images.

18. The control method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

obtaining the photograph images from an external storage medium.

19. The control method according to claim 16 , wherein the course of travel is based on a time order of the location information.

20. The control method according to claim 16 , wherein the second images are rotatable based on an input to the electronic device.
