It is desirable to make this possible.

Subsequently, when a frame is selected through the frame background selection function from the user, the photo shooting function is driven. Here, when the picture capturing function is driven, the display unit provides a user with a screen overlaid with a real-time photographed image transmitted through a camera for photographing and the selected frame background image over the photographed image.

Then check that the multi-split picture shooting is completed. At this time, the check checks whether the photographing is completed through the number of photographings corresponding to the number of frames included in the frame selected by the user. In this case, if the shooting is not completed, the captured image is applied to the currently captured frame (eg, the first frame), and the captured image transmitted through the camera is displayed on the next frame (eg, the second frame). do. In other words, multi-split photography is to sequentially take a predetermined image in accordance with the number of frames included in the frame background screen through a series of processes. Since the description of the image capturing corresponding to the number of frames is described later, it will be omitted here.

On the other hand, when the image shooting corresponding to the number of frames of the frame background screen is completed, the image captured by each frame of the frame background frame and the frame background frame is synthesized into a single image to store the image taken by multi-segmentation Done. Thereafter, when the storing is completed, the following process is performed according to a user's request using the continuous shooting or function selection menu.

Hereinafter, a detailed processing process according to the selection of the frame background screen according to FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

Figure 4 is a flow chart illustrating in detail the processing according to the selection of the frame background screen according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, when any one frame background image is selected by the user from among a plurality of frame background images provided by the portable terminal as in step 305 of FIG. 3 (401), Tracking an image path of the selected frame wallpaper (403), loading a frame wallpaper image from the tracked path (405), and checking the number of frames included in the loaded frame wallpaper image. (Step 407), and after checking the number of frames, recognizing background color information of the first frame having a priority among the checked frames (409), and the background color information of the recognized first frame. Changing to an initial value (411); and displaying (413) the image data input through the current camera in the changed first frame. It characterized in that it comprises.

Looking at the frame background image selection processing process through the above configuration in more detail as follows.

First, the portable terminal includes at least one frame background image. The at least one frame background image may include various types of background images and one or more frames.

Thereafter, when the frame background image that the user wants to apply to the multi-split shooting is selected from the various frame background images, the portable terminal tracks the location information, that is, the path, in which the selected frame background image is stored. Subsequently, after tracking the path for the frame background image, the frame background image is loaded through a series of processing in the tracked path. Then, the information on the loaded frame background image is analyzed, and through this, the number of frames included in the image is checked. Then, the background frame information of the highest priority frame, that is, the first frame, is recognized in the checked frame. Subsequently, the background color corresponding to the first frame is changed to an initial value. Here, the initial value refers to a value preset in the portable terminal, that is, a reference value preset in the portable terminal for multi-division photographing. For example, if the background color for the first frame is fa1e and the initial value is ffff, the color information value of the fa1e initially recognized according to the priority is changed to the initial value ffff. Then, in the frame changed to ffff, the image currently input through the camera is displayed in real time instead of the background color of the frame. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the color actually used may vary depending on the program situation and the color configuration of the frame background. That is, it may be used in the form of ff1a, ff2a, ff3a, but if the colors are used in the actual frame content, it may be changed to another unused color.

Hereinafter, a multi-segmented image capturing process according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

Marking the received image and recognizing background color information on a next frame (509, 511), and if there is no next background color information recognized as a result of performing background color information recognition on the next frame, the processing is performed. When the background color information recognition result of the next frame is present, if the next background color information exists, the background color information of the next frame is recognized. Changing to a default value (513), displaying the image currently input through the camera on a frame after the background color information is changed (515), and checking whether photographing is performed by the user after displaying the image on the frame. In step 517, when the photographing of the check result is performed, the photographed image is marked on the frame, the background color information of the next frame is recognized, and the above series of processes are performed. If no information exists, terminating the routine.

Looking at the image capture process corresponding to the number of frames through the above configuration in more detail as follows. In this case, the following description will be given by taking the case where the number of frames is three.

As shown in FIG. 5, the portable terminal first performs processing for checking the number of frames included in the frame background screen selected by the user. Then, when the frame number is confirmed, the background color information of the frame having the highest priority among the identified frames is recognized. The determination of the priority determines the background color information value given to each of the frames. For example, the background color information value of the first frame is set to fa1e, the background color information value of the second frame is set to fa2e, and the background color information value of the third frame is set to fa3e.

In this case, when the order of the higher priority is confirmed as the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame, the background color information of the first frame is first recognized, and the recognized background color information is initially set (ffff). Will be changed to In this case, the image transmitted through the current camera is displayed in real time instead of the background color in the changed first frame, and the user performs the first shooting for multi-division shooting in the first frame. On the other hand, the portable terminal displays the remaining frame except the first frame, that is, the second frame and the third frame with a background color corresponding to each frame.

Next, when the portable terminal photographs the image in the first frame by the user, the portable terminal marks the captured image in the first frame and recognizes the background color information of the next frame, that is, the second frame. . Then, as described above, the background color of the next recognized frame is changed to an initial value and the image transmitted through the camera is displayed in the second frame. Then, the user performs a second shooting for multi-segmented image shooting through the second frame. In this case, the first image is displayed in the first frame, the image through the camera is displayed in the second frame in real time, and the corresponding background color is displayed in the third frame.

Next, when the portable terminal captures an image on the second frame by the user, the portable terminal marks the captured image on the second frame and recognizes background color information on the next frame, that is, the third frame. . Then, as described above, the background color of the next recognized frame is changed to an initial value and the image transmitted through the camera is displayed in the third frame. Then, the user performs a third shooting for multi-segmented image shooting through the third frame. In this case, the first image is displayed in the first frame, the second image is displayed in the second frame, and the last image is recorded in the third frame.

Next, when the portable terminal captures an image in the third frame by the user, the portable terminal marks the captured image in the third frame and recognizes background color information for the next frame. At this time, if the new background color information is not recognized as a result of the recognition, it is determined that the shooting for all frames is completed, and the image captured in each frame and the frame background are synthesized and stored in the form of one image, and multi-division End shooting.

As described above, in the embodiment according to the present invention, the frame background image selected by the user is overlaid on the upper part of the image input through the camera, and has a predetermined value having an initial value among the frames included in the frame background image. Although it is illustrated that the image is displayed and applied only in the frame of, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, if necessary, the overlay of the frame image may be provided in a translucent form. In this case, the user may select various multimedia menus in a conventional manner through a dedicated application provided by a portable terminal, and then view the multimedia menus. The translucent mode is selected from the multi-division menu proposed in the present invention. In this case, it is preferable that the user sets the translucent mode in the form of a hotkey or a hotkey in advance in the portable terminal or manually selects the image when capturing an image.

Referring to FIG. 6, when multi-split photography is selected by the user through the semi-transparent mode (601), calculating transparency of the image data input through the camera (603), and calculating the image data transparency, Calculating transparency of the frame background image (605), and after calculating transparency of the frame background image, adding 607 the transparency of the image data and the transparency of the frame background image respectively; Dividing the sum of the transparency values by 2 (609), determining the transparency corresponding to the divided result value (611), and translating the frame background image according to the determined transparency into upper image data Overlaying step 613 and, after performing the overlay reflecting the translucent effect, and performing a multi-segmented image capture (615).

Looking at the multi-segmented image capturing process using the semi-transparent effect according to an embodiment of the present invention through the above configuration in more detail as follows.

First, when the user selects a translucent mode using a hotkey or a hotkey, or selects a translucent mode through a series of menu selection processes, the portable terminal calculates and transmits transparency (A) of the image data input through the camera. The transparency B of the frame background image overlaid on the image data is calculated. Subsequently, the calculated values A and B, that is, the transparency of the image data and the transparency of the frame background image are summed (A + B). Thereafter, the average transparency is calculated by dividing the average of the sums of transparency (A + B), that is, the sum of the transparency values by two ((A + B) / 2). Transparency for translucent application is determined according to the calculated average transparency result value, and then the frame background image is semitransparent according to the determined transparency to be applied by overlaying the image data on top of the image data. Accordingly, by applying a semi-transparent effect to the frame background image, the user can check the entire screen of the image input through the camera, thereby providing the convenience of multi-split shooting.

In this case, the transparency may be calculated as (image + frame image) / 2 as described above. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the user may arbitrarily adjust transparency during image capturing, and the adjustment may be controlled by sequential adjustment according to a menu or by shortcut keys or hot keys. . An example of such a case is as follows.

That is, when the transparency can be adjusted during a predetermined image capturing as described above, an arbitrary alpha value and a beta value should be set, but the sum of the alpha value and the beta value should always be “1”. Has the condition In other words, the condition of alpha + beta = 1 is satisfied. At this time, since (alpha + beta) / 2 is achieved in the case of the above embodiment, the condition is " 0.5 ". Subsequently, the alpha value is multiplied by the image data and the beta value is multiplied by the value of the frame background. If this is expressed as an expression, it can be expressed as (alpha * image data) + (beta * frame background). Thereafter, when the user adjusts the transparency, the transparency can be adjusted by adjusting only one of the alpha value and the beta value to satisfy the conditions of alpha and beta. At this time, when adjusting the predetermined value alpha or beta, it is preferable to set the other values other than the adjusted value to be fixed to an arbitrary value.

Meanwhile, as described above, the present invention has been described with respect to the multi-division of a predetermined image into a photographic image. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, if necessary, the video may be divided into a predetermined video and photographed. In this case, for example, as follows.

That is, the portable terminal performs processing for checking the number of frames included in the frame background screen selected by the user. Then, when the number of frames is checked, the background color information of the frame having the highest priority among the checked frames is recognized. At this time, the priority determination determines a background color information value given to each of the frames. Subsequently, when the order of higher priority is confirmed as the first frame, the second frame, or the third frame, the background color information for the first frame is first recognized, and the recognized background color information is changed to an initial value. do.

In this case, the image transmitted through the current camera is displayed in real time instead of the background color in the changed first frame, and the user performs the first shooting for capturing the multi-segment video in the first frame. On the other hand, the portable terminal displays the remaining frame except the first frame, that is, the second frame and the third frame with a background color corresponding to each frame.

Next, when the portable terminal captures a predetermined length of video in the first frame by the user, the portable terminal marks the captured video on the first frame and recognizes background color information on the next frame, that is, the second frame. Done. Then, as described above, the background color of the next recognized frame is changed to an initial value to display the video transmitted through the camera in the second frame. Then, the user performs a second shooting for a predetermined time for multi-segmented video shooting through the second frame. In this case, the first framed video is displayed in the first frame, the current image of the current camera is displayed in the second frame, and the background color is displayed in the third frame.

Next, when the portable terminal captures a predetermined length of video in the second frame by the user, the portable terminal marks the captured video on the second frame and recognizes background color information of the next frame, that is, the third frame. Done. Then, as described above, the background color of the next recognized frame is changed to an initial value and the image transmitted through the camera is displayed in the third frame. Then, the user performs a third shooting for a predetermined time for multi-segmented video shooting through the third frame. In this case, the first image is displayed in the first frame, the second image is displayed in the second frame, and the last image is recorded in the third frame.

Next, when the portable terminal captures a video in the third frame by the user, the portable terminal marks the captured video of the predetermined length in the third frame and recognizes background color information for the next frame. At this time, if the new background color information is not recognized as a result of the recognition, it is determined that the shooting for all frames is completed, and synthesized and stored the image taken in each frame and the frame background in the form of one video file, and multi The split shooting ends. Subsequently, a plurality of videos having a certain length are simultaneously provided on one screen through the video file.

Although the present invention is illustrated as being a multimedia service in a portable terminal using a camera, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, although not illustrated in the drawings, the user may multi-segment the photographing by interworking the portable terminal with a predetermined media system. You can attach a voice message file recorded by yourself or a song file recorded by yourself using each photo frame, video file, or multi-split effect. Interfaces and processes may be further provided to enable sharing in real time with the user.

As described above, although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and is intended by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the claims to be described.
