The control unit 180 displays the image data 500 on the display unit 151 of the mobile communication terminal 100 according to the user's selection signal. The control unit 180 then activates the face recognition program stored in the memory 160 and automatically recognizes the face image data 510 and 520 of the image data 500. The controller 180 performs a mosaic process on the recognized face image data 510 and 520 (see FIG. 5A). Then, when the user selects one of the recognized face image data 510 ('mosaic edit menu display signal'), the control unit 180 displays the mosaic edit menu 530 on the display unit 530, (See Fig. 5B). The mosaic editing menu 530 may include a number of emoticons 531-533, a mosaic shape change icon (not shown), a mosaic color change icon (not shown), and the like. Here, it is a matter of course that the mosaic edit menu display signal can be generated by various methods. Then, when the user edits the mosaic portion through the mosaic edit menu 530 ('edit signal input'), the controller 180 changes the mosaic processed portion according to the edit signal, (151). For example, when the user selects one of the mosaic editing menus 530, the controller 180 displays the mosaic-processed facial image data portion in the emoticon 533 Reference). Then, when the user selects one of the mosaic editing menus 530, the controller 180 displays the mosaic-processed facial image data portion on the emoticon 531 (see FIG. 5D) ). Alternatively, if the user touches a portion of the image data excluding the face image data portion 540 ('another terminal transmission signal'), the controller 180 displays the image data 500 in a wired or wireless communication manner (See FIG. 5E). Here, the user can display a menu for selecting another terminal on the display unit 151, and select the other terminal through the menu. Here, the transmission signal of the other terminal is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be generated by various methods.

Accordingly, the user can transmit the image data to the other terminal while protecting the privacy of the individual by mosaicing the face image data.

In addition, the user can change the face image data to the shape or emoticon desired by him or her, and can edit the face image data and transmit the image data to the other terminals with pleasure.

The control unit 180 displays the image data 600 on the display unit 151 of the mobile communication terminal 100 according to the user's selection signal. The controller 180 then activates the face recognition program stored in the memory 160 and automatically recognizes the face image data 610 and 620 of the image data 600. The controller 180 performs a mosaic process on the recognized face image data 610 and 620 (see FIG. 6A). Then, when the user double-clicks on one of the recognized face image data 610 ('mosaic release signal') 630, the control unit 180 determines whether the mosaic- (See FIG. 6B). Here, the mosaic release signal is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but may be generated by various methods. Then, when the user selects ('mosaic edit menu display signal') 640 one of the recognized face image data 610, the controller 180 displays the mosaic edit menu 650 And displays it on the display unit 151 (see Fig. 6C). The mosaic editing menu 650 may include a plurality of emoticons 531-533, a mosaic processing icon 654, a mosaic shape changing icon (not shown), a mosaic color changing icon (not shown), and the like. Then, when the user selects the mosaic processing icon 654 among the mosaic editing menu 530, the controller 180 performs a mosaic process on the face image portion 610 (see FIG. 6D). Then, when the user touches a portion of the image data excluding the facial image data portion ('another terminal transmission signal'), the controller 180 transmits the image data to another terminal through a wired or wireless communication scheme.

Accordingly, the user can transmit the image data to the other terminal while protecting the privacy of the individual by mosaicing the face image data.

Also, the user can easily select the face image data to be mosaiced or turn off the mosaic processing.

7 is an image diagram for explaining a fourth embodiment of the data processing method in the mobile communication terminal of the present invention.

On the display unit 151, a selection screen 700 for selecting an object not to process the mosaic is displayed according to the user's selection signal (see Fig. 7A). The selection screen 700 includes a message 710, image data 720-723 received from the memory 160 of the mobile communication terminal 100 or an external server, and a setting icon 730. The user selects image data 721 and 722 which are not to be subjected to mosaic processing among the image data, and then selects the setting icon 730. [ Here, the image data 721 and 722 are image data set not to be subjected to mosaic processing. Then, the control unit 180 displays the image data 740 on the display unit 151 of the mobile communication terminal 100 according to the user's selection signal. The controller 180 then activates the face recognition program stored in the memory 160 to automatically recognize the face image data 741 and 742 in the image data 740. At this time, the controller 180 determines whether or not the image data 721 and 722, which are not to be subjected to the mosaic process, and the recognized face image data 741 and 742 are identical. The control unit 180 then recognizes that the image data 721 and the image data 741 match and the image data 742 does not mosaic the image data 741, (See Fig. 7B). The following steps are the same as those of the first to third embodiments, and therefore, will not be described.

As another example, you can set a target for processing a mosaic, rather than selecting a mosaic object. Then, the control unit 180 performs mosaic processing only on the facial image data set as the object to be subjected to the mosaic processing among the recognized facial image data.

Accordingly, the user can transmit the image data to the other terminal while protecting the privacy of the individual by mosaicing the face image data.

In addition, the user can set the face image data set by the user to be mosaiced or not processed.
