At this time, the photographed images may be images as shown in FIG. 4A, and small screen image data as shown in FIG. 4B is generated for each of them. The photo images and the small screen image data as shown in FIG. 4A are stored in the first data memory area of the memory 30.

In the above state, the user may select photographic images stored in the memory 30 and synthesize them with other photographic images to edit the composite photographic images. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the other photo image is a background screen image. Therefore, a new composite picture image may be generated by synthesizing the original picture image and the background picture image, and the photo image or the synthesized picture images may be stored in an album form. And it is possible to implement an album preview or album view function for the photo image stored in the album.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of generating a composite photographic image according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a user may select a selection display mode or a multi display mode to select a photographic image to be synthesized. In this case, when the multi display mode is selected, the controller 10 detects the multi-display mode and accesses the small screen image data of the photo images stored in the first data memory of the memory 30 to display on the display unit 60. In this case, it is assumed that six small screen image data are displayed in the multi display mode. When a specific small screen image data is selected among the displayed small screen image data, the controller 10 accesses and displays the photo image data of the selected small screen. As described above, the controller 10 reads and displays the original photographic image in step 311, and then reads the background image data in the same manner as in step 313. That is, the method of selecting the background image may also be selected by performing the selection display mode or the multi display mode as described above.

After selecting the photo image and the desired background image as described above, the controller 10 initializes x and y values indicating pixel positions in step 315. Here, x denotes the x-axis coordinate value of the pixels, and y denotes the y-axis coordinate value of the pixels. Thereafter, in step 319, the controller 10 checks the x and y positions of the selected photo image and the background image, and then checks whether the pixels present at the x and y positions of the background image are white. In this case, if the pixel of the background image is white, the pixel of the photo image may be maintained as it is. Therefore, in this case, the controller 10 proceeds to step 325 to designate the next pixel of the current line. However, in step 321, if the pixels at the x and y positions of the background screen image are not white, the controller 10 substitutes the pixels of the background image at the x and y positions of the photo image in step 323. That is, in step 323, the pixel of the picture image is replaced with the pixel of the background screen image to perform the function of synthesizing.

In step 325, the control unit 10 checks whether the pixel is the last pixel position of the corresponding line. Otherwise, the controller 10 proceeds to step 327 and increases the x value by 1 to designate the next pixel position and returns to step 319. Therefore, if the steps 319 to 327 are repeated, the operation of synthesizing the photo image and the background image is performed by replacing 1 line pixels of the photo image with one line of the corresponding background image. When the synthesis operation of one line is completed by repeating the above operation, the control unit 10 detects this in step 325 and checks whether it is the last line of the photographic image of the corresponding line in step 329, or in step 331, the y value is 1; The next line is increased, the x value is initialized to 0, the first pixel is specified, and the process returns to step 319. That is, the controller 10 synthesizes the pixels of one line and designates the first pixel position of the next line in step 331. If the above operation is repeated, the background image is synthesized on the photographic image of one screen.

If the controller 10 detects that the synthesis operation has been completed for the pixels on the last line in step 329, the controller 10 displays whether to select another background image on the display 60 in step 333. If the user selects the next background image, the controller 10 detects this in step 333 and returns to step 313 to repeat the above operation. In this case, two or more background images are synthesized in one photographic image. However, if no other background screen is selected in step 333, the controller 10 displays the synthesized photographic image on the display unit 60 and stores the synthesized photo image in the second data memory of the memory 30 in the form of an album in step 335. In operation 337, the control unit 10 drives the small screen 241 to generate the displayed composite picture image as the small screen image data, and then stores it in the first data memory.

6 is a diagram illustrating a procedure of viewing an album according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the user first selects an album preview from an album view function key on the key input unit 27 or a menu displayed on the display unit 60. In this case, when the album preview is selected, the control unit 611 checks the path of the album screen small screen image in step 611, and generates a list of album screen small screen images in step 613. In step 615, the controller 10 checks the current display mode. In this case, in the small screen display mode, that is, in the multi-display mode, the control unit 10 detects this in step 615 and reads the small screen image data of the composite picture image stored in the first data memory in step 617 on the display unit 60 in step 619. Display. In the multi-display mode, it is assumed that six small screen image data are displayed as described above.

In the state of displaying six small screen image data as described above, the user determines the position to select by adjusting the order of the small screen image data by using the direction keys of the key input unit 28 or by using the display mode mode changing key. You can change the display mode and select the composite photo image of the small screen image data where the cursor is currently positioned by using the confirm key. In this case, the direction key may be an up / down key or a left / right key, and the direction key may be a navigation key. In this case, it is assumed that the number of small screen image data displayed in the multi display mode is six, and that the displayed form is three small screen image data displayed at upper and lower positions, respectively. Therefore, in the generated list, the first small screen image data may be displayed on the leftmost side of the upper side, and the sixth small screen image data may be displayed on the rightmost side of the lower side. The controller 10 checks a key input in step 621, which may be a direction key, a confirmation key, and a display mode change key as described above.

First, when the left key is pressed, the sequence of the small screen image data is reduced by one in step 625, and the current small screen image data is checked in step 627 to be smaller than the order of the first small screen image data. In this case, if the order of the first small screen image data is smaller than the order of the first small screen image data, the order is designated as the order of the last small screen image data and the process returns to the step 615. That is, the cursor is moved to the left so that the small screen image data corresponding to the number of times of the left key is pressed can be selected among the small screen image data displayed on the display unit 60.

If the right key is pressed for the second time, in step 631, the order of the small screen image data is increased by one, and in step 633, the current small screen image data is greater than the order of the last small screen image data. do. In this case, if the order of the last small screen image data is greater than that, the procedure is designated as the order of the first small screen image data in step 635 and the process returns to step 615, otherwise the process returns to step 615 without adjusting the order. That is, the cursor is moved to the right so that the small screen image data corresponding to the number of times the right key is pressed can be selected among the small screen image data displayed on the display unit 60.

Thirdly, when the up key is pressed, in step 637, the order of the small screen image data is decreased by 3, and in step 639, the current small screen image data is smaller than the first small screen image data. do. In this case, if the order of the last small screen image data is smaller than the order of the last small screen image data, the procedure is designated as the order of the last small screen image data and the process returns to step 615, otherwise, the process returns to step 615 without adjusting the order. That is, when the upper key is pressed among the small screen image data displayed on the display unit 60, the cursor is moved upward so that the small screen image data of the corresponding position can be selected.

Fourth, if the right key is pressed, in step 643, the order of the small screen image data is increased by three, and in step 635, the order of the current small screen image data is greater than the order of the last small screen image data. do. At this time, if it is larger than the order of the last small screen image data, step 647 designates the order as the order of the first small screen image data, and returns to step 615, otherwise, returns to step 615 without adjusting the order. That is, the cursor is moved downward so that the small screen image data corresponding to the number of times the lower key is pressed can be selected among the small screen image data displayed on the display unit 60.

When the direction key is pressed as described above, the cursor position of the small screen image data displayed on the display unit 60 is moved to correspond to the pressed direction key while performing steps 625 to 647. In this case, the number of small screen image data displayed in the multi-display mode is six, and the display form assumes that three small screen image data are displayed at upper and lower positions, respectively. The above process is repeated, and the cursor is moved to display the small screen image data at a desired position among the small screen image data displayed in the multi display mode.

In addition, when the display mode change key is input, the control unit 10 detects this in step 623 and determines the display mode change. In this case, the display mode change may be a selection display mode and a multi display mode as described above, and the following six small screen image data may be displayed when the multi display mode is input. The control returns to step 615 to display the next six small screen image data.

In addition, when the confirmation key is input, the control unit 10 detects this in step 622 and allows the composite picture image of the selected small screen image data to be selected. In this case, the controller 10 detects that the screen is not the small screen display mode in step 615 and proceeds to step 651. When the desired composite photo image is selected as described above, the controller 10 generates a list of the composite photo image for album viewing in step 651, and searches for the composite photo image data corresponding to the selected small screen composite image in step 653. In operation 655, the searched synthesized image is accessed and displayed on the display unit 60.

In addition, when the selection display mode is selected in the display mode change process, the controller 10 detects this in step 623, and displays the composite image while performing steps 651 to 655. In this case, the displayed montage image may be a montage image determined as a default.

As described above, another collage picture image may be selected or the display mode may be changed while the collage picture image is displayed in the album view mode. In the state of displaying the image data, the user can adjust the order of the small screen image data by using the direction keys of the key input unit 28 to determine the selectable position, or change the display mode by using the display mode change key. By using the key, you can select the composite picture image of the small screen image data where the cursor is located. In this case, the direction key may be an up / down key or a left / right key, and the direction key may be a navigation key. In this case, since the display of the composite picture image can be moved forward or backward in the generated composite picture list, it can be implemented using only left and right keys or up and down keys. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the left key or the up key is used as a key for moving to the previous position in the list, and the right key or the down key is used as a key for moving to the next position in the list. The control unit 10 checks a key input in step 657, which may be a direction key, a confirmation key, and a display mode change key as described above.

At this time, if the left or upper key is input, the controller 10 specifies the sequence of the composite image while performing steps 659 to 663, and if the right key or the lower key is input, the controller 10 performs steps 665 to 667 and Specify the order. In addition, when the confirmation key is input, the composite picture image at the designated position is displayed. When the display mode change key is input, the process returns to step 615 to perform the small screen image display mode as described above.

When the end key is input in step 621 or step 657, the operation of the album viewing function of the procedure shown in FIG. 6 ends.

As described above, in the mobile terminal storing the photo image, the user may synthesize and display another photo image on the selected photo image, and also display the synthesized photo images in an album view form. Particularly, when generating the composite photo image, various types of composite pictures may be made by synthesizing the background image with the photo image. In addition, it is possible to display the synthesized photo image as described above, and to store it in an external device through a communication interface or transmit it to a base station and transmit it to another subscriber, thereby improving the display function of the terminal.
