The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for editing an image for providing a coordination service in a personal portable terminal, and more particularly, to a size of a first image photographed through an imaging module mounted in the personal portable terminal. A method and apparatus for overlaying a second image on a first image in a semi-transparent mode after adjusting and capturing the second image so as to correspond thereto.

Conventionally, a user who wants to use a coordination service visits an offline store that sells clothes and wears the clothes she wants, or visits a beauty salon and wears a wig in the shape of his / her own hair and looks through the mirror. You had to make sure that the outfit or hairstyle suits you by checking.

The conventional offline coordination service has a problem that the user cannot use when the user does not have time to visit the store because the user can directly visit the store. In addition, the conventional offline coordination service has a very troublesome problem because the user has to wear all of the products to be coordinated directly.

Nowadays, with the development of information and communication technology, users can purchase products after confirming their desired products through avatars similar to their own images through internet sites that provide coordination services without visiting the offline stores. .

However, in this case, since the coordination is possible only for the products provided in the Internet site providing the coordination service, there is a problem in that the coordination for the products checked by the user is not possible.

Therefore, when a user finds a product to be coordinated off-line through a personal portable terminal that the user always carries, there is a demand for a service that allows the user to coordinate without directly wearing the product.

As an example of a coordination method using a personal portable terminal, Korean Patent Application No. 10-2004-0087116 discloses a personal portable application of an object (for example, a person and a dog) to be coordinated with a user (clothes, shoes, and a wig). Disclosed are a method for synthesizing images after capturing the respective images through the image pickup means of the terminal, adjusting the size of the captured image in the personal portable terminal. In the conventional coordination method using a personal mobile terminal such as the Korean application, it is necessary to adjust the size of the captured image, so that a separate image size adjusting means must be provided, and when a large amount of calculation is required due to the image size adjustment, it is difficult to quickly coordinate There is this.

In addition, the conventional coordination method using a personal digital assistant has a user's inconvenience in selecting an image to be coordinated from stored images.

 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art, the image of the object to be coordinated and the object to be coordinated through the image pickup means of the personal portable terminal and then quickly edit the image of the two objects It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and an apparatus thereof.

In addition, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for editing a captured image after adjusting the size of the image to be coordinated according to the zoom function or the imaging distance of the target to be coordinated through the imaging means of the personal portable terminal.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of editing an image in a personal portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates a process of editing an image captured by the image pickup means in a personal portable terminal having a predetermined image pickup unit. .

Referring to FIG. 7, in step 710, the personal portable terminal picks up a predetermined first imaging target through the imaging means. The first imaging target is a target to which predetermined image editing is performed. In step 720, the personal portable terminal transparently processes the captured first image of the subject in a predetermined transparent mode and displays it on a predetermined display means. The transparent mode is not to make the image of the first imaging target invisible but to make the image 310 of the first imaging target transparent as shown in FIG. 3A. In step 730, the personal portable terminal superimposes an image of a predetermined second imaging target on the image of the first imaging target processed transparently and displays it on the display means as shown in FIG. 3B.

The second imaging target is a target that performs predetermined image editing on the first imaging target. In step 740, the personal portable terminal determines whether an image resizing request is input from the user. The request to adjust the size of the image is to adjust the zoom function of the camera lens of the imaging means or the imaging distance of the second imaging target. As the resizing request is input, in step 750, the personal portable terminal receives the second imaging target input through the imaging means such that the image size of the second imaging target corresponds to the image size of the first imaging target. The image size of the display is displayed on the display means. The personal portable terminal adjusts an image capturing distance of the second image capturing object or a zoom function of the image capturing means according to a user's request in order to adjust an image size of the second image capturing object. In step 760, the personal portable terminal picks up the second imaging target through the imaging means when the imaging request of the displayed second imaging target is input by the user's operation. In step 770, the personal portable terminal semi-transparently processes the transparently processed image of the first imaging object in a predetermined translucent mode and displays it on the display means. The translucent mode transparently processes a portion of the image of the first image to be overlaid on the image to be overlaid and overlays the image of the second image to be overlaid, and the image of the second image is not overlaid. In this mode, the part is set to appear as it is captured. In step 780, the personal portable terminal overlays the image of the scratched second imaging target on the semitransparently processed image of the first imaging target and displays it on the display means.

The personal portable terminal is configured by overlaying the image of the second image pickup target on the image of the first image pickup target, the image of the second image pickup target, or the semi-transparently processed first image target image. The image can be stored in any memory means.
