Accordingly, the present invention enables the user to directly create his or her own image, and has an effect of adding entertainment elements to the user interface.

Hereinafter, components and operations of the mobile communication terminal in which the above functions are implemented will be described with reference to FIG. 1. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an internal block of a mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile communication terminal to which the present invention is applied includes a control unit 100, a display unit 110, a sensor unit 120, and a memory 130.

Here, the control unit 100 performs the overall control operation of the mobile communication terminal, in particular, according to the embodiment of the present invention to apply the effect of the coincidence according to the degree of movement of the mobile communication terminal to the image, which is updated according to the degree of movement The image is controlled to be output through the display unit 110. Here, the coincidence effect in the present invention refers to an art technique used in painting, and a technique for changing an image irregularly and randomly in a direction not intended by a user. There are blowing, marbling, etc., and the following coincidence effects can be obtained according to each technique. Smearing is a coincidence effect of abstract colors spreading on the background. Blowing is like a coincidence effect that blows the image into the mouth and spreads the colors of the image. Marbling is as if water and oil are not mixed. The effect of chance is to change irregularly without mixing the colors that make up the image.

The display unit 110 receives and displays display data on key input data input through a keypad under the control of the controller 100, or displays an operation state and a plurality of information of the mobile communication terminal as icons and text. In addition, the display unit 110 allows the user to visually know the state in setting or driving a required function under the control of the controller 100. In particular, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an image to which the effect of coincidence according to the movement degree of the mobile communication terminal is applied is displayed on the display unit 110.

In addition, the memory unit 130 connected to the control unit 100 includes a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), and a voice for storing a plurality of programs and information necessary for controlling the operation of the mobile communication terminal. Memory, etc. In particular, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the memory 130 stores a target image to which the effect of chance is applied, which may be an image taken by a user or an image provided through a content provider or the like. have. In addition, the memory 130 stores a plurality of filter techniques, and may also store a basic cell size required to apply the filter technique.

On the other hand, the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention further includes a sensor unit 120 for detecting the degree of movement. Sensor unit 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention means a gyro sensor (GYRO SENSOR), the sensor is based on the inertial space around one or more axes orthogonal to the spin (spin) axis, the angular motion It is a sensor that uses angular momentum to detect.

Therefore, the sensor unit 120 distinguishes the reciprocating motion of the mobile communication terminal when receiving the detection signal indicating the movement in the horizontal and vertical directions of the mobile communication terminal detected by the gyro sensor, and moves according to the classification. It is configured to be connected to the control unit 100 for calculating a motion amount value according to. That is, the sensor unit 120 detects the reciprocating movement in the front, rear, left and right directions of the mobile communication terminal, and transmits the result to the controller 100.

On the other hand, according to the present invention can be expressed in various ways to display the image to which the effect of chance is given, the embodiment of the present invention provides two embodiments.

The first method is to extract specific color values from the image, arrange them in correspondence with the pattern image, and then assign a coincidence effect to the pattern image according to the movement of the mobile communication terminal. This method is described in detail as follows. First, when a filter technique having a cell size set by a user is applied to an image to be edited, the image is composed of a plurality of cells having a shape according to the filter technique at the cell size. In this case, the cell size is a term used in conventional image editing software (ex Photoshop), and its role is the same.

For example, when the filter technique is mosaic, the image is represented by cells of square blocks, and the cells are gathered to give a mosaic effect. Then, a specific color value is extracted from each cell of the image. At this time, it is determined how many cells to divide the image according to the cell size set by the user. As the cell size increases, the number of cells forming the image decreases. As a result, the kind of specific color values extracted from each cell is also reduced. On the other hand, when the cell size is reduced, the number of cells constituting the image increases, and thus the number of specific color values that can be extracted increases.

As such, when specific color values are extracted from each cell, the extracted specific color values are sequentially arranged in correspondence to a predetermined pattern image. For example, when applied to a stripe-shaped pattern image, a stripe pattern image in which specific color values are sequentially arranged is generated and displayed on the display unit 110. In this state, a marbling effect is applied to the stripe pattern image and displayed according to the degree of movement of the mobile communication terminal, thereby generating a unique image utilizing the effect of chance. Here, the effects of coincidence may be expressed by providing various effects such as a marbling effect and a smearing effect on the sprite pattern image. As such, the contents of chance effects can be provided in various forms.

The second method is to apply a coincidence effect to the image to which the filter technique is applied according to the movement of the mobile terminal. For example, when a mosaic filter technique is selected by a user, the filter technique is applied to an image, and if there is a movement of a mobile communication terminal, a coincidence effect is displayed on an image made of a square block according to the degree of movement. As a result, an image that is improvised with movement is displayed.

In the following description, a description will be given of a process of generating a custom image displayed in various ways as described above. To this end, it will be described with reference to FIG. 2, which is a control flowchart for applying an effect of chance dependent on the degree of movement of a mobile communication terminal to an image according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the image editing mode is selected by the user, the controller 100 displays various filter techniques on the display 110 in step 200. In this case, the displayed filter technique may be any filter technique capable of expressing an image such as crystallization and mosaic in cell units. In addition, the controller 100 determines which one of the filter techniques displayed in step 205 is selected. If the user selects a filter technique, the controller 100 sets a cell size for the filter technique from the user in step 210, and applies the selected filter technique to the image in step 215. As a result, an image having a set cell size is generated.

For example, if an image before editing is provided to the user as shown in FIG. 4 (a), an image to which the filter technique is applied with the cell size set by the user may be generated as shown in FIG. 4 (b) or 4 (c). Can be. FIG. 4B is an exemplary diagram illustrating an image to which the crystallization filter technique is applied, and FIG. 4C illustrates an image to which the mosaic filter technique is applied, and the image to which the corresponding filter technique is applied is displayed on the display unit 110. It may not be. That is, it may be in a state of being processed only inside the mobile communication terminal. Meanwhile, in steps 200 to 210, a cell size and a filter technique set as defaults in advance may be applied, which may be omitted from the control flow of FIG. 2.

In operation 220, the controller 100 extracts a color value from each cell of the image as shown in FIG. 4B or 4C. In FIG. 4 (b), since an image to which the crystallization filter technique consisting of six cells is applied is illustrated, six color values are extracted from each cell. As illustrated in FIG. 4C, an image to which the mosaic filter technique of 12 cells is applied is illustrated, and thus, 12 color values may be extracted. When the color values are extracted as described above, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 225 and arranges the color values extracted in correspondence with the predetermined pattern image. In this case, the pattern image may be a pattern image having a form in which a stripe capable of arranging each color value, a target consisting of circles of different sizes, and the like, and the pattern image is provided in various forms.

Then, the control unit 100 detects whether there is a movement of the mobile communication terminal through the sensor unit 120 in step 230. In this case, the movement of the mobile communication terminal includes a simple movement and an artificial movement which is a reciprocating motion of shaking the mobile communication terminal back and forth or left and right. If the movement is detected, the controller 100 calculates a movement amount value according to the movement of the mobile communication terminal in step 235. In detail, when the sensor unit 120 detects the front, rear, left and right movements of the mobile communication terminal through the gyro sensor and transmits the detected signal to the control unit 100, the control unit 100 receives the sensor unit 120. After calculating the motion amount in accordance with the signal from the step proceeds to step 240.

The controller 100 displays a marbling effect on the pattern image in which color values are arranged in correspondence with the amount of motion in step 240. If the movement amount value is reflected in the stripe pattern image, as shown in FIG. 5 (a) or FIG. 5 (b), a marbling effect in which the stripe pattern flows is applied and displayed. If the blurring effect is applied to the target pattern image in addition to the marbling effect, an image as shown in FIGS. 5C to 5E may be displayed. In operation 245, the controller 100 determines whether the image editing mode is terminated. The image editing mode may be terminated by the user or may be terminated when an incoming call is received. If the image editing mode is not terminated, the control unit 100 returns to step 235 and continuously calculates a motion amount value and applies a coincidence effect dependent on the pattern image. In contrast, when the image editing mode ends, the control unit 100 stores the final pattern image, that is, the pattern image to which the effect of chance is applied in step 250. By doing this, the user can create his own unique image.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, which is a control flowchart for applying an effect of chance dependent on the degree of movement of a mobile communication terminal to an image according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the image editing mode is selected by the user, the controller 100 displays various filter techniques in step 300 and determines in step 305 which filter technique is selected. As a result of the determination, when the filter technique is selected, the controller 100 applies the selected filter technique to the image in step 310. In this case, the cell size required for applying the filter technique may be preset by the user, and may vary depending on the degree of movement of the mobile communication terminal, that is, the calculated movement amount. Accordingly, as the user moves the mobile terminal greatly, the user can see an image divided into more cells. Of course, the cell constituting the image will be a square block in the case of mosaic according to the filter technique, and in the case of crystallization, will have a crystal form, and the size of the cell will change according to the degree of movement of the mobile communication terminal. The number of cells that make up the image changes.

3 illustrates a case where a filter technique is applied to an image using a cell size of a default value. Accordingly, the original image as shown in FIG. 4 (a) may be provided as the same image in FIG. 4 (b) or FIG. 4 (c) according to the selected filter technique. As such, the image to which the filter technique is applied may be displayed on the display unit 110. In this state, the control unit 100 detects whether there is a movement of the mobile communication terminal in step 315, and if there is motion, proceeds to step 320 to perform the same operation as in step 235 of FIG. 2. Subsequently, operations in steps 325 to 335 are also the same as operations in steps 240 to 250 of FIG. 2, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted. However, unlike step 240 of FIG. 2, in step 325, when the controller 100 displays a marbling effect on the image in response to the movement amount value, the image to which the marbling effect is applied is not an image of a pattern but an image to which a filter technique is applied. It is Of course, in addition to the marbling effect, various effects such as a bleeding effect may be applied to give a coincidence effect to the image to which the filter technique is applied.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a motion amount value is calculated by detecting a motion of the mobile communication terminal, a specific color value is extracted from each cell of the image to which the filter technique is applied, and the color values are arranged to correspond to a predetermined pattern image. After that, a case in which a marbling effect indicating a coincidence effect is applied to the pattern image corresponding to the moving amount value is described as an example. In addition, another embodiment of the present invention has been described taking the case of generating a unique image by applying a coincidence effect directly to the image itself to which the filter technique is applied.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and the above-described embodiments and accompanying It is not limited by the drawings.

The present invention as described above, by applying a coincidence effect to the image according to the degree of movement of the mobile communication terminal allows the user to directly create your own image, and has the effect of adding entertainment elements to the user interface have.
