The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal and a method of operating the same, and more particularly, to a mobile communication terminal capable of synthesizing and storing a screen and a still picture of a camera while watching a broadcast according to a user's taste, and an operation method thereof.

Recently, mobile communication terminals are becoming more and more functional according to the demands of consumers with the development of technology, and thus, consumers can conveniently use various functions.

The function of watching TV using a mobile communication terminal is also used, and a service capable of wireless broadcasting using a mobile communication terminal includes a mobile TV and a streaming service of a video clip.

Recently, DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) broadcasting has been commercialized and widely used.

However, the conventional mobile communication terminal only provides a simple function of selecting and receiving a broadcast to be watched by a user, stopping the screen and capturing a desired screen while watching the broadcast.

In addition, there has been a conventional technique of synthesizing the captured image and the image of another photo, etc., but there was an inconvenience of having to go through several working orders.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to stop a desired screen during broadcast viewing, operate a camera to take a still picture, synthesize and store the still picture with the broadcast viewing still image, and according to the user's taste, the screen during broadcast viewing and camera still shooting. The present invention provides a mobile communication terminal capable of synthesizing pictures and an operation method thereof.

The mobile communication terminal according to the present invention for solving the above problems, a broadcast receiver for generating a first image by receiving a tuned broadcast, a camera for photographing a subject to generate a second image, and the first image and the first And a control unit for synthesizing two images to generate a composite image.

The method may further include generating a first image by receiving the tuned broadcast, photographing a subject to generate a second image, and generating a new composite image by synthesizing the first image and the second image.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an exemplary view showing an embodiment of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention includes a broadcast receiver 20, a camera 30, a controller 10, an input unit 40, an output unit 50, a communication module 60, And a memory 70.

The broadcast receiver 20 receives a broadcast tuned by a user from among broadcasts such as a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) broadcasting service and a streaming mobile TV service, and generates a first image through a demodulation process.

DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) is a broadcasting service that digitally modulates various multimedia signals such as voice and video to digital receivers, fixed or portable and vehicle receivers. You can enjoy high-definition broadcasting. In addition, streaming mobile TV service is a technique for reproducing voice, video, animation, etc. in real time, and is mainly used for playing a small amount of video such as a music video or a movie introduction.

The camera 30 generates a digital image by photographing a subject, divides the image into bitmaps, and converts each luminance into a digital amount to generate a second image.

The input unit 40 receives a command for stopping the broadcast screen being viewed and a command for capturing a subject of the camera 30. In this case, the input unit 40 may include a keypad and a touch screen.

The output unit 50 displays a first image generated by the broadcast receiver 20 and a second image generated by photographing the camera 30.

The control unit 10 stops the broadcast screen input from the broadcast receiving unit 20 by the broadcast screen stop command received from the input unit 40 to form a first image, and outputs the first image through the output unit 50. Mark it.

In addition, the controller 10 forms a second image by the camera 30 photographing a subject by a still picture photographing command of the camera received from the input unit 40, and outputs the second image through the output unit 50. Mark it.

The controller 10 generates a new composite image by using the first image formed by stopping the broadcast screen input from the broadcast receiver 20 and the second image formed by photographing a subject by the camera 30.

In this case, when the first image is set as the foreground, the first image and the second image are set as the foreground according to the foreground or background selection command input through the input unit 40, and the second image is set as the foreground. If set to, the first image is set as a background and a new composite image is created.

The newly generated composite image is displayed by the output unit 50 and stored in the memory 70.

For example, after generating a first image by stopping a broadcast screen while watching a broadcast as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, the still picture capturing function of the camera is performed as shown in FIGS. In operation, a second image is generated, and a new composite image is generated by combining the first image with the background of the second image.

Looking at the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, when a broadcast is viewed (S100), it is determined whether an input for stopping the broadcast screen is made (S105).

When the input for stopping the broadcast screen is not made, the broadcast watching continues, and it is continuously checked whether the input for stopping the broadcast screen is made.

If an input for stopping the broadcast screen is made, the broadcast screen is stopped (S110).

Subsequently, it is determined whether an operation execution command of the camera is input (S115), and when the operation execution command of the camera is made, the camera operates (S120).

When the camera is operated, it is determined whether an input for taking a still picture of the camera is made (S125).

When the input for the still picture shooting of the camera is not made, it is continuously checked whether the input for the still picture shooting is made.

When an input for taking a still picture of the camera is made, taking a still picture of the camera is performed (S130).

Subsequently, it is determined whether a screen of the broadcast still picture and the camera still picture photographing screen formed as described above is set as a background or a scene (S135).

After selecting whether to set the broadcast still image as the background and set the camera still picture shooting screen as the predecessor, or whether to set the broadcast still picture as the predecessor and the camera still picture shooting screen as the background (S140, S145). A new still image is generated by synthesizing the broadcast still picture and the still picture taking picture of the camera (S150) and storing the new image generated as described above (S155).

As described above, the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention stops a desired screen during mobile broadcast viewing, operates a camera to take a still picture, synthesizes and stores the still picture, and displays the broadcast watching screen according to the user's taste. It is possible to provide a mobile communication terminal that can conveniently generate a variety of images by synthesizing still pictures with the camera.

As described above, the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention has been described with reference to the illustrated drawings, but the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein, and may be applied within the scope of the technical idea.

As described above, the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention stops a desired screen during mobile broadcast viewing, operates a camera to take a still picture, synthesizes and stores the broadcast viewing still image, and broadcasts it according to the user's taste. It has the advantage of being able to conveniently create a variety of images by composing the still picture and the still picture of the camera.
