Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for interactive video blogging. The method includes receiving, by a server, a comment attached to a video blog file from a first terminal, the comment being associated with a point of time at which the comment is displayed along with the video blog file; converting, by the server, the comment into a descriptor file; storing, by the server, the descriptor file; receiving, by the server, information on a selected one of a plurality of descriptor files stored in the server from a second terminal, the plurality of descriptor files representing a plurality of comments attached to the video blog file; and transmitting, by the server, the selected one of the plurality of descriptor files to the second terminal.
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.
Abstract:
A method for switching between a first lens and a second lens in an electronic device includes displaying, by the electronic device, a first frame showing a field of view (FOV) of the first lens; detecting, by the electronic device, an event that causes the electronic device to transition from displaying the first frame to displaying a second frame showing a FOV of the second lens; generating, by the electronic device and based on the detecting the event, at least one intermediate frame for transitioning from the first frame to the second frame; and switching, by the electronic device and based on the detecting the event, from the first lens to the second lens and displaying the second frame, wherein the at least one intermediate frame is displayed after the displaying the first frame and before the displaying the second frame while the switching is performed.
Abstract:
A method and a device for providing contextual information. The method includes detecting an invocation of a camera application via a user-input while executing a non-camera application by a device. The method further includes identifying content from one or more of a preview of the camera application and multi-media captured by the camera application. Further, the method includes identifying contextual information based on one or more of the identified content and information available from the non-camera application. Further, the method includes allowing the identified contextual information to be shared between the camera application and the non-camera application.

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 method and an apparatus for generating a composite image in an electronic device are provided. The method includes identifying a first image element of a first event from first images successively captured by a first image sensor of the electronic device, and identifying a second image element of a second event from second images successively captured by a second image sensor of the electronic device, the first images and the second images being simultaneously captured. The method further includes combining the first image element with the second image element based on a synchronization parameter to generate the composite image.
Abstract:
A method and a system for synching, organizing, and ranking user contacts by obtaining user contacts profile from various data sources are provided. The method includes identifying at least one data item associated with each contact from the plurality of data sources, wherein each data item comprises at least one of an attribute, and a sub-attribute, and computing a degree of similarity between each contact of the user and each other contact of the user using the at least one identified data item.
