Abstract

The present disclosure may provide a mobile terminal including a camera unit configured to acquire a plurality of images for which focuses are formed at different regions at the same time, a memory unit configured to store the plurality of images, a display unit configured to display a representative image among the plurality of images, and a controller configured to control the display unit such that the representative image among the plurality of images is converted to another image based on a touch input applied to the display unit.

Claims (35)

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a touch screen;

a plurality of camera lenses; and

a controller configured to:

capture, via the plurality of camera lenses, a plurality of images in response to a single capture command;

cause the touch screen to display an image among the plurality of images and a scroll bar for controlling a depth of field of the image;

change the depth of field of the image using at least one of the plurality of images in response to a touch input applied to the scroll bar;

cause the touch screen to display another image with the changed depth of field based on the touch input; and

cause the touch screen to display a plurality of thumbnail images adjacent to a plurality of regions comprising the scroll bar, wherein each of the plurality of thumbnail images is associated with a respective one of the plurality of regions and one of the plurality of thumbnail images is configured to have a different depth of field relative to another one of the plurality of thumbnail images.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the touch screen to display an icon for displaying the scroll bar, and display the scroll bar in response to a touch input applied to the icon.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of regions are respectively associated with a different depth of field, and

the controller is further configured to move a scroll box contained in the scroll bar based on the touch input, and change the depth of field of the image further based on a location of the moved scroll box.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display a plurality of edit icons adjacent to the plurality of thumbnail images, wherein each of the plurality of edit icons is configured to adjust a definition of each of the plurality of regions.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to store the plurality of images in a memory.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to store the another image with the changed depth of field, in response to a store command, in a memory.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to terminate the displaying of the image when the another image with the changed depth of filed is displayed on the touch screen.

8. A method of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

capturing, via a plurality of camera lenses, a plurality of images in response to one capture command;

displaying, on a touch screen, an image among the plurality of images and a scroll bar for controlling a depth of field of the image;

change the depth of field of the image using at least one of the plurality of images in response to a touch input applied to the scroll bar;

displaying, on the touch screen, another image with the changed depth of field based on the touch input; and

displaying, on the touch screen, a plurality of thumbnail images adjacent to a plurality of regions comprising the scroll bar, wherein each of the plurality of thumbnail images is associated with a respective one of the plurality of regions and one of the plurality of thumbnail images is configured to have a different depth of field relative to another one of the plurality of thumbnail images.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

displaying, on the touch screen, an icon for displaying the scroll bar, and when a touch input is applied to the icon, displaying the scroll bar.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of regions are respectively associated with a different depth of field, and wherein the method further comprises:

moving a scroll box contained in the scroll bar based on the touch input, and

changing the depth of field of the image further based on a location of the moved scroll box.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

displaying, on the touch screen, a plurality of edit icons adjacent to the plurality of thumbnail images, wherein each of the plurality of edit icons is configured to adjust a definition of each of the plurality of regions.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

storing the plurality of images in a memory.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

storing the another image with the changed depth of field, in response to a store command, in a memory.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

terminating the displaying of the image when the another image with the changed depth of filed is displayed.
