Abstract:
A device and method are provided for providing a function related to a camera in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a display device; a first camera; a processor; and a memory configured to store instructions, which when executed, instruct the processor to acquire a plurality of first images having a first attribute and one or more second images having a second attribute through the first camera for a predetermined time, when an input associated with image acquisition is received, generate one or more image content based on the plurality of first images or the one or more second images, and store instructions that cause the one or more image content to be output through the display device.
Abstract:
A social community management method includes: setting a group including a plurality of mobile devices, based on a location; determining common interest information shared by users of the plurality of mobile devices included in the group; creating a social community for communication of the users based on the determined common interest information; and transmitting information on the created social community to the plurality of mobile devices.
Abstract:
A method and an image capturing device configured to generate a defocused image from a reference image and one or more of focal bracketed images to provide an artificially defocused blurred image. The artificially defocused blurred image is a fusion image composed by processing the reference image and one or more of focal bracketed images to provide a clear foreground with gradual blurred background based on a created depth map. The method is time efficient as it provides faster processing on a captured and down sampled reference image and one or more captured down sampled aligned focal bracketed images. The depth map created using region based segmentation reduces a misclassification at a time of classifying foreground-background and misclassification of pixels to provide fast, robust artificial blurring of background in the captured reference image.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for generating a multi-format template image by an image-processing device. At least one pre-defined region in a template image having a first format is identified. Component information of the at least one pre-defined region is extracted by decoding the template image. Pixels associated with the at least one predefined region are converted from the first format to a second format, with reference to the component information of the at least one pre-defined region, to form the multi-format template image.
Abstract:
A device and method are provided for providing a function related to a camera in an electronic device. A method includes acquiring, via a first camera of the electronic device, a plurality of first images; acquiring, via a second camera of the electronic device, one or more second images; generating a plurality of image contents based on at least one of the plurality of first images or the one or more second images; and outputting the plurality of image contents at respective regions of a display of the electronic device.
Abstract:
A method and system to manage items associated with different entities is provided. The items can be content and contacts. The entities can be Social Networking Sites (SNS), device, and contact groups in the device, contact groups in the SNS, content hosting servers or the like. The method provides a grid structure to display items associated with different entities. Further, the method allows a user to share items by performing one or more actions. The actions can be a voice, a gesture or a gaze. The gesture can be an emotion, a tap, a scroll, a drag, a drop, a pinch, a swipe and a hover. The method facilitates re-location and re-grouping of the items. The method allows the user to create and edit an album and a relational view with the items associated with different entities.
