Correspondence and playback of image and sound

In the present invention, various methods of generating and reproducing image content including sound are provided. Here, the image content including sound refers to the content that can be output together with the sound corresponding to the selection or setting of the user when the image is displayed on the touch screen. One image content may consist of one or more still images and one or more sounds. For example, one image content may be composed of one image and one sound corresponding thereto, or may be composed of a plurality of images and sound corresponding to each of the plurality of images. In addition, the image content including the sound according to the present invention may be stored in a file format or in a file format corresponding to the number of images and sounds constituting the image content. This method, unlike ordinary video, preserves sound and includes only the desired image, so that it is unnecessary to encode the video and the file size is greatly reduced compared to the video, so the storage space utilization and sharing convenience can be greatly increased. Hereinafter, "image content including sound" in the present specification may be used in the same sense as "image containing sound" or "

In one embodiment of the present invention, a method of generating an image first, storing the generated image in correspondence with the generated sound after receiving the sound, and playing the sound together when the image is displayed is proposed. Particularly, in the present embodiment, different sounds may be corresponded to objects included in the image.

3 shows an example of a method of generating and reproducing image contents including sound in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, an image may be first captured through the camera 121 (S310). The control unit 180 can recognize the subject in the photographed image (S320). Here, the recognition of a subject may mean that a subject satisfying a predetermined condition in the image is recognized as an object corresponding to the sound. As an example of a predetermined condition, when one or more faces of a person are recognized through facial recognition, each recognized face can be a subject according to the embodiment in the corresponding image. Of course, instead of recognizing the subject by the control unit 180, the user may designate at least one subject directly through a touch input or the like.

Thereafter, sound can be input through the microphone 122. Here, sound can be input for each recognized object.

When the sound is input, the control unit 180 can store each input sound in the memory 160 in association with the object.

After the storage is completed, an image corresponding to the sound through the image reproducing application or the like can be displayed through the touch screen 151 (S350).

If a specific object on the image is selected through touch input or the like while the image is displayed, the control unit 180 can output the sound stored in correspondence with the selected object through the sound output unit 152.

Next, a mode in which the above-described storage and reproduction procedure is performed will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a form in which sound is stored and reproduced in an image in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 (a), an image photographed through the camera 121 may be displayed on the touch screen together with the record button 410. When the record button 410 is selected, predetermined visual effects 411 to 417 may be given to each of the subjects according to the face recognition result as shown in FIG. 4B. Here, as the subject recognition and recording preparation is completed, the shape 410 'of the recording button may be changed. At this time, when the user wants to record the voice of the second person on the left side, a visual effect 413 'indicating that the person is selected as shown in FIG. 4 (c) by touching the visual effect 413 corresponding to the person, And a visual effect corresponding to the sound may also be displayed on the record button 410. Recording may be performed while the subject is selected (i.e., while the touch input remains on the visual effect corresponding to the subject) Or may be performed for a predetermined time after the corresponding object is selected or may be performed by the control unit 180 only for a time period in which the effective sound is present by detecting the acoustic waveform. The difference between the sound and the waveform input through the microphone may be a predetermined range or more, or a sound of a predetermined size (dB) or more.

4C can be performed as many times as the maximum number of recognized objects (four times in FIG. 4). When two or more subjects are simultaneously selected, a plurality of subjects corresponding to one sound are correspondingly stored . In addition, when the touch area is equal to or larger than a certain size, one sound may be stored corresponding to all the objects.

If sound is separately recorded and stored in each of the subjects corresponding to 411, 413, and 415, the corresponding image may be displayed on the touch screen in the form of FIG. 4 (d). Specifically, icons 421, 423, and 425 of a predetermined type may be displayed around the subject corresponding to the sound. Here, if the user desires to reproduce sound corresponding to the third person from the left, the user may select a visual effect 415 indicating that the third person is displayed on the touch screen or that the third person is selected when the corresponding icon 425 is touched, And the sound stored in correspondence with the person may be output through the sound output unit 152. If a touch input is simultaneously input to the three icons 421, 423, and 425, or if a touch input having a contact area of a predetermined area or more is recognized, sounds corresponding to three persons may be simultaneously reproduced. Of course, even if there is no selection of the subject according to the setting, the sound may be sequentially reproduced according to the recording order. In addition, the text corresponding to the sound may be displayed around the subject corresponding to the sound currently output through the STT function.

On the other hand, according to another aspect of the present embodiment, it is possible to make different sounds correspond to each image even when continuous shooting is performed or when there are a plurality of pre-stored images. This will be described with reference to FIG.

Fig. 5 shows an example of a method of storing sound corresponding to each of a plurality of images in a mobile terminal according to another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5A, as the photographing through the camera 121 is completed in the continuous photographing mode, three consecutively photographed images 510, 520, and 530 can be displayed together on the touch screen . At this time, the check boxes 511, 521, and 531 corresponding to the respective images may be provided. Here, if the user desires to use the first image 510 and the third image 531, the user can select the check boxes 511 and 531 corresponding thereto. Accordingly, only the checked images are displayed on the touch screen as shown in FIG. 5 (b), and sound icons 513 and 533 included in each image are selected to record sound corresponding to each image. For example, the sound corresponding to the first image 510 may be recorded while the recording icon 513 displayed in the image is selected, or after the selection, for a time satisfying a predetermined condition. Once the acoustic input for each image is complete, the two images may be stored in memory 160 in a single moving image form (e.g., Flash or GIF file). When the output command for the stored image is input (for example, when selected in the gallery application), the first image 510 and the third image 530 may be alternately displayed, and the time at which each image is displayed And the corresponding sound may correspond to the recorded time. That is, while the sound corresponding to the first image is being reproduced, the first image is continuously displayed, and when the reproduction of the sound is completed, the third image is displayed and the sound corresponding to the third image may be output. When the output of the sound corresponding to the third image is completed, the first image is displayed again, and the corresponding sound can be repeatedly reproduced again.

In FIG. 5, three images are shown as a result of continuous shooting. However, this is an example, and more images may be displayed or fewer images may be displayed depending on the number of shots supported in the continuous shooting mode to be. In addition, the present embodiment can be performed even when a plurality of images among the images stored in the memory 160 are selected in addition to the images continuously shot.

Next, according to another embodiment of the present invention, an image including sound can be generated by extracting at least one image and sound from the pre-stored source movie, respectively, and matching each extracted image and sound to each other . This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a method of extracting and storing images and sounds in a source moving picture according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, a source moving image can be selected first (S610). The source moving image may be selected from the moving image list displayed through the moving image playback application, or may be selected through a dedicated application for image generation including the sound according to the present embodiment.

When the source video is selected, playback of the source video may be started, and an image and sound may be selected during the playback (S620, S630). Of course, the playback may be performed sequentially from the beginning in time order, or may be performed in accordance with the user's playback time change command (pause, fast forward, fast rewind, slow playback, etc.). The image may be extracted by capturing an image displayed at a specific time point of the moving image, and the sound may be extracted by sampling or cropping the sound output during a specific time period.

The matching of the selected image and sound may be performed (S640), and the matching result of the image and sound, that is, the image contents including the sound, may be stored in the memory 160 Format file format.

Hereinafter, the image content generation process including the sound described above with reference to FIG. 6 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

7 shows an example of a method of generating image contents including sound using a moving picture source in a mobile terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7A, a user interface for extracting an image and sound from a moving picture according to the present embodiment is shown. Specifically, a moving picture selected as a source moving picture is reproduced on a touch screen, an image extraction (capture) button 710 for capturing an image currently displayed on one side and extracting an image, and an acoustic An extract button 720 may be displayed. A progress bar 730 may be displayed at the bottom of the touch screen to indicate the current playback time relative to the total playback time of the source video. As the image extraction button 710 is selected on the progress bar, the thumbnail 741 and the sound extraction button 720 of the captured image are selected and the extracted sound indicators 751, 752, and 753 are displayed on the progress bar. And can be displayed at a position corresponding to the time point. That is, FIG. 7 (a) shows a situation in which one image and three sounds are extracted from the source moving image.

7 (a), when a video image is completely played back after one image is further captured, or when an extraction completion command of a predetermined format is inputted, as shown in FIG. 7 (b) Thumbnails 741 ', 742' corresponding to each of the images and acoustic icons 751 ', 752', 753 'corresponding to the extracted sounds can be displayed. Here, the user can match the image and sound by dragging either one of the thumbnails to the sound icon or dragging one of the sound icons to the thumbnail. Images corresponding to the matched thumbnails and sounds corresponding to the sound icon may be stored in the memory 160 in the form of image content according to the present invention.

Next, the manner in which the image content including the sound generated and stored through the above-described embodiments is reproduced and the additional functions that can be performed thereby will be described with reference to Figs. 8 to 9. Fig.

8 is a flowchart showing an example of a process in which an additional function is performed when image contents including sound according to at least one embodiment of the present invention are reproduced.

Referring to FIG. 8, the image content stored in the memory 160 may be displayed through an application for playing back image contents including sounds according to the present invention, such as a gallery application (S810). The sound included in the image content to be displayed may be automatically reproduced along with the image displayed, or may be reproduced according to the command input of the user as described above.

Here, an icon may be displayed to invoke the interlocking function automatically according to a command input by the user or according to the setting (S820). When the displayed icon is selected (S830), a list of functions that can be executed in conjunction with the sound included in the image content may be displayed (S840). Here, the function that can be executed in conjunction with the sound may refer to a function that can be performed in association with information extracted from the sound through the STT function (for example, converted into text). For example, if the sound includes place names, this may be a location-based feature associated with the place name. If the sound includes contact-related information, this may be a communication-related function, such as an address book.

If any one of the functions included in the list is selected from the user (S850), the selected function may be executed on the information extracted from the sound (S860).

Hereinafter, the operation of the additional function according to the selection of the icon will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

9 illustrates an example of a form in which an additional function is performed in association with sound matched to an image in a mobile terminal according to at least one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9A, image contents stored in the memory 160 may be displayed on the touch screen 151 through an application capable of reproducing image contents including sound according to the present invention. In this case, when the flicking touch input is detected through the pointer 910 at the edge of the touch screen, the controller 180 displays an icon 920 for calling an additional function at the corresponding position as shown in FIG. 9 (b) . Here, if the icon 920 is selected, a list 930 of functions that can be executed in association with the information extracted from the sound included in the image content can be displayed as shown in FIG. 9C.

For example, if the content of the sound is "Here is Eiffel Tower", the location information including "Eiffel Tower" can be displayed through the map application when the map application is selected, and "Eiffel Tower" Web searches may be performed with keywords. As another example, if the content of the sound is "My phone number is 010-1111-1111 ", the corresponding phone number can be stored when the contact application is selected, and the message transmission mode is executed to the corresponding phone number when the message application is selected It is possible.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, an additional function may be executed in a form not associated with other applications. For example, if the current mobile terminal is in the vibration mode or the silent mode, the control unit 180 may not reproduce the sound included in the image content through the sound output unit 152 as shown in FIG. 9 (d) To be output on the touch screen 151. [

On the other hand, in the above-described embodiments, when the image contents including sound are stored in the memory, the sound and the image may be stored in a separate file form or in a single file form. For example, when one sound corresponds to one image, the corresponding content can be stored as one jpg file and one mp3 file. As another example, if different sounds correspond to each of the two images, they may be stored as two jpg files and two mp3 files, one gif file and two mp3 files, and one flash file Lt; / RTI > When the image contents are reproduced, it is possible to determine whether the audio contents are included in the contents in the reproducing application through header information of the image file or whether there is an audio file in which at least a part of the file name exists on the same storage path have.
