Abstract

A digital image processing apparatus and a method of controlling the same. The digital image processing apparatus includes: a display controller for displaying first content on a display unit; and an image generator for generating second content based on a photographing signal input, which may be from a user, and third content related to the second content.

Claims (38)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

an image sensor;

a first memory;

a second memory; and

one or more processors configured to:

while obtaining an image signal from the image sensor, control the display to display a preview image, and store a plurality of images temporarily in the first memory based on the image signal;

while displaying the preview image, in response to a first user input for capturing images, store a moving image as a file in the second memory, the moving image comprising:

a first plurality of images corresponding to a first predetermined time interval before a time point of the first user input obtained from the plurality of images temporarily stored in the first memory,

an image corresponding to the time point of the first user input, and

a second plurality of images corresponding to a second predetermined time interval after the time point of the first user input, and

in response to a second user input for displaying images of the file in the second memory, control the display to display the moving image stored in the file, and to display the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input following the display of the moving image.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to maintain at least one image obtained from the image sensor for a predetermined interval in the first memory.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input is different from a starting frame of the moving image.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second user input comprises a single selection of an object corresponding to the file.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the file comprises information about the moving image.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the file comprises time information about a time point corresponding to a starting frame of the moving image, and a time point of the first input.

7. A method of controlling an electronic device, comprising:

while obtaining an image signal from the image sensor, displaying a preview image;

storing a plurality of images temporarily in a first memory based on the image signal;

while displaying the preview image, in response to a first user input for capturing images, storing a moving image as a file in a second memory, the moving image comprising:

a first plurality of images corresponding to a first predetermined time interval before a time point of the first user input obtained from the plurality of images temporarily stored in the first memory,

an image corresponding to the time point of the first user input, and

a second plurality of images corresponding to a second predetermined time interval after the time point of the first user input, and

in response to a second user input for displaying images of the file in the second memory, displaying the moving image stored in the file, and displaying the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input following the display of the moving image.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising maintaining at least one image obtained from the image sensor for a predetermined interval in the first memory.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input is different from a starting frame of the moving image.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second user input comprises a single selection of an object corresponding to the file.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the file comprises information about the moving image.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the file comprises time information about a time point corresponding to a starting frame of the moving image, and a time point of the first input.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program comprising instructions for performing a method of controlling an electronic device when the computer program is executed by a processor, the method comprising:

while obtaining an image signal from the image sensor, displaying a preview image;

storing a plurality of images temporarily in a first memory based on the image signal;

while displaying the preview image, in response to a first user input for capturing images, storing a moving image as a file in a second memory, the moving image comprising:

a first plurality of images corresponding to a first predetermined time interval before a time point of the first user input obtained from the plurality of images temporarily stored in the first memory,

an image corresponding to the time point of the first user input, and

a second plurality of images corresponding to a second predetermined time interval after the time point of the first user input, and

in response to a second user input for displaying images of the file in the second memory, displaying the moving image stored in the file, and displaying the image corresponding to the time point of the first user input following the display of the moving image.
