Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen).

Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

In the following, various embodiments may be embodied in a recording medium readable by a computer or similar device using, for example, software, hardware, or a combination thereof.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

2 is a flow chart showing the operation of the mobile terminal of FIG. 1;

As shown, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may perform step S10 of performing the first continuous shooting and the second continuous shooting.

The first and second continuous shooting may be performed through the camera 121 of the mobile terminal 100. The camera 121 may be located on at least one side of the mobile terminal 100. For example, the camera 121 may include a front camera (121a in FIG. 3) and a rear camera (121b in FIG. 3) located on the front surface of the mobile terminal 100. FIG. Normally, when shooting an external image, a rear camera (121b in FIG. 3) can be used. However, in the present specification, the bottom camera (121a in FIG. 3) and the rear camera (121b in FIG. 3) are not distinguished from each other and are represented by the camera 121, unless otherwise required.

The first and second consecutive shots may be operations for performing a plurality of shots within a predetermined time. For example, continuous shooting may be an operation of shooting 20 still images in a time of 1 second. The time and / or the number of times the continuous shooting is performed may be changed.

A plurality of continuous shots can be made at regular intervals. For example, it means that the first continuous shooting is performed for a predetermined time, and the second continuous shooting is again performed for a preset time at a predetermined time interval.

The first and second continuous shots can be performed by a user's operation and / or a control signal of the control unit 180. [ For example, it means that the first continuous shooting is performed while the touch to the shooting button is continued, and the second continuous shooting is performed while the touch to the shooting button is continued.

(S20, S30) of generating a first image cluster by the first continuous shooting and a second image cluster by the second continuous shooting may be performed.

The image cluster may be a collection of images generated in one continuous shot. By a single continuous shot, a specific number of images can be generated. For example, it means that five images with a slight time difference can be generated. The five images may be slightly different images due to a slight time difference, but a large portion of the image may overlap each other because the time difference is not large.

The control unit 180 can manage the images generated by one continuous shooting operation as one set. The control unit 180 can manage the images generated by one continuous shooting in one image cluster. For example, it is possible to create an image by overlapping overlapping portions in an image taken in one continuous shooting. Hereinafter, one image formed in this way will be referred to as an image cluster. Therefore, if two consecutive shots are taken, two image clusters can be created.

A step S40 of generating a combined image using the first and second image clusters may be performed.

The first and second image clusters may be a set of images captured by the first continuous shooting and the second continuous shooting, as described above.

The control unit 180 may combine the first and second image clusters. For example, it is possible to generate a combined image in which overlapping regions overlap with each other in the first and second image clusters. A combined image, as described in detail in the corresponding section, may exhibit the same animation effect as a moving object even though it is not a moving image.

The first and second image clusters may be separately displayed on the combined image (S50).

The combined image may be a set of images by a plurality of successive shots. For example, it may be a set of images by the first continuous shooting and the second continuous shooting.

The control unit 180 may display the first image cluster part and the second image cluster part separately on the combined image. Accordingly, the user can intuitively recognize the displayed combined image and recognize the portion photographed by the first continuous shooting and the portion photographed by the second continuous shooting.

Figs. 3 to 5 are views showing continuous photographing in the mobile terminal of Fig. 1; Fig.

As shown in these drawings, the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can acquire continuous still images by using the camera 121. [

As shown in FIG. 3, the user can photograph the object OB by using the mobile terminal 100. FIG. For example, it means that you can shoot a ball that falls on the floor and fries several times.

The user can photograph the object OB using the rear camera 121b. In the case of using the rear camera 121b, the user can confirm the photographed image with the display unit 151 substantially simultaneously with the photographing.

The continuous shooting may be performed when there is a user's touch to the first button B displayed on the display unit 151. [ For example, continuous shooting can be performed while the first button B is pressed.

The sequential shots can be started when there is a user's touch to the first button (B). However, even if the touch continues, the continuous shooting may be automatically terminated when the preset time and / or the predetermined number of shooting times have elapsed.

The continuous shooting may be performed discontinuously plural times. For example, when the user touches the 1 button B to touch the first button B again after the first continuous shooting is performed, the second continuous shooting with a slight difference in time from the first continuous shooting It means that shooting can be done.

The control unit 180 can manage a plurality of consecutive shots as one continuous shot. For example, it means that one combined image can be generated by bundling a second continuous shot made at a certain time range, the same object and / or the same place after the first continuous shooting is performed.

As shown in Fig. 4, the mode of continuous shooting can be changed by the user's selection.

As shown in Fig. 4 (a), a 'Shot' button may be displayed on the display. When the Shot button is selected with the finger F or the like, continuous shooting can be performed. For example, if you touch the Shot button for less than a certain period of time, normal image capturing is performed, and if you touch the Shot button for more than a certain time, it means that continuous shooting can proceed.

The control unit 180 can change the continuous shooting attribute according to the touch method for the Shot button. For example, when an operation of dragging to the upper side or the lower side while touching the Shot button is performed, it means that the continuous shooting speed, the continuous shooting shooting time, and the like can be changed according to the drag degree.

As shown in Fig. 4 (b), the continuous shooting in the normal situation can proceed to the first interval IT1. That is, the photographing can be performed at intervals of t1, t2, t3, t4 and t5.

The control unit 180 can change the shooting interval when the user's drag operation with respect to the Shot button is input. For example, it means that shooting can be performed at intervals of a second interval IT2 that is faster than the first interval IT1. If shooting is performed at intervals of the second interval IT2, more images can be taken at the same time.

As shown in Fig. 5, the first to fifth images I1 to I5 may be photographed by the first continuous shooting, and the sixth to the tenth images I6 to I10 may be photographed by the second continuous shooting .

The control unit 180 generates the first image cluster IC1 using the first to fifth images I1 to I5 by the first continuous shooting and the sixth to tenth images I6 to I5 by the second continuous shooting, I10) may be used to generate the second image cluster IC2. The first and second image clusters IC1 and IC2 will be described more specifically in the corresponding portions.

FIGS. 6 to 8 are diagrams illustrating image cluster creation in the mobile terminal of FIG. 1;

As shown in these drawings, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can generate an image cluster using an image acquired through continuous shooting.

As shown in Fig. 6, the control unit 180 can generate the first image cluster IC1 with the first to fifth images I1 to I5 taken through the first continuous shooting.

The first image cluster IC1 may generate overlapping overlapping portions of the first to fifth images I1 to I5.

The first to fifth images I1 to I5 may be the images successively photographed at a relatively short interval as described above. Accordingly, adjacent images such as the first image I1 and the second image I2, the second image I2, and the third image I3 may overlap each other. The control unit 180 can overlap the overlapping areas to generate one image and designate the generated image as the first image cluster IC1.

As shown in Fig. 7, the control unit 180 can generate the second image cluster IC2 with the sixth to tenth images I6 to I10 taken through the second continuous shooting. Since the method of generating the second image cluster IC2 is similar to that of the first image cluster IC1, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in Fig. 8, the control unit 180 can generate image clusters in various ways. Hereinafter, a first image cluster IC1 will be described, but such a scheme can also be applied to the second image cluster IC2.

As shown in Fig. 8A, the first image cluster IC1 may be an image formed by superimposing the photographed first to fifth images I1 to I5. Therefore, the upper side and / or the lower side of the first image cluster IC1 may not be constant. That is, it means that the first image cluster IC1 having an irregular shape up and down can be generated according to the position of the shooting moment.

As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the control unit 180 can generate the first image cluster IC1 obtained by trimming the upper side and / or the lower side. For example, the actual sizes of the first to fifth images I1 to I5 may be larger than the screen displayed on the display unit 151. [ Therefore, the first to fifth images I1 to I5 may have a large margin for trimming to the upper side and / or the lower side based on the photographed object.

The control unit 180 can edit the upper side and / or the lower side of the first to fifth images I1 to I5 with a margin to be trimmed to generate a substantially rectangular first image cluster IC1.

Figs. 9 and 10 are views showing combined image generation in the mobile terminal of Fig.

As shown in these drawings, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can generate a combined image combining a plurality of image clusters. Therefore, the user can manage the images photographed through the plurality of successive photographing operations as one image file, and it is possible to more conveniently reproduce and edit the photographed images through the continuous photographing.

As shown in Fig. 9, the control unit 180 may combine the first image cluster IC1 and the second image cluster IC2 to generate a combined image (AI).

The combined image AI may be in the form of overlapping the common areas of the first image cluster IC1 and the second image cluster IC2. For example, the end of the first image cluster IC1 and the start point of the second image cluster IC2 may overlap each other. Such overlapping can be made more clearly when the time and / or place at which the first continuous shooting is ended and the time and / or place at which the second continuous shooting is started are adjacent to each other.

As shown in Fig. 10 (a), the control unit 180 can display the boundaries of the first image cluster IC1 and the second image cluster IC2 in the combined image AI. For example, it means that the identifier SL can be displayed between the first and second image clusters IC1 and IC2.

The identifier SL can intuitively distinguish the first image cluster IC1 region and the second image cluster IC2 region. Therefore, the user can more clearly perform operations such as separately reproducing the portion corresponding to the first image cluster IC1 from the combined image AI, or separately editing the portion corresponding to the first image cluster IC1 . For example, in the case of touching the first image cluster IC1 region divided by the identifier SL, only the image corresponding to the first image cluster IC1, not the entire combined image AI, It means that operation can be possible.

As shown in FIG. 10 (b), the control unit 180 can display the identifier SL in the combined image AI configured in a rectangular shape.

The identifier SL can be configured in various forms. For example, the color of the first image cluster (IC1) region and the color of the second image cluster region (IC2), the brightness of the first image cluster (IC1) region, And at least one of the chroma saturation may be different.

Figure 11 A and to 12 are diagrams showing how to display the thumbnail of the combined image generated by the mobile terminal 1.

The control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a preview image (PI) of the image stored in the memory 170 of the mobile terminal 100, Can be displayed in the form of a thumbnail. The control unit 180 can display the combined image in the thumbnail image.

As shown in FIG. 11A, a plurality of preview images (PI) may be displayed on the display unit 151. FIG. The preview image PI may be a set of thumbnails for images stored in the memory 170 or the like. A preview image (PI) may include a thumbnail of the combined image (AI).

The control unit 180 may display an identification icon IC for easily recognizing the combined image AI among the preview images PI. The user can intuitively recognize the combined image (AI) through the identification icon (IC), and can perform necessary operations on the image.

The combined image (AI) can be displayed in various forms. For example, the first combined image AI1 may be displayed in a rectangular shape. Alternatively, upper and lower portions of the originally photographed image, such as the second combined image AI2, may be displayed in a non-trimmed form. In such a case, the user can more intuitively recognize that the image is an image by continuous shooting.

The combined image AI can be displayed in the form of the first combined image AI1 and / or the second combined image AI2 by the user's selection and / or control operations of the control unit.

As shown in Fig. 11B (a), the combined image AI can be displayed in a form in which the upper and lower portions are not trimmed. That is, it means that a thumbnail capable of intuitively recognizing that the image is continuous shooting can be displayed on the preview screen.

As shown in (b) of FIG. 11B, the user can perform a touch operation of dragging in a certain direction with the finger F or the like. For example, it means that a drag operation can be performed in the left direction on a specific combined image (AI).

As shown in Fig. 11C (a), the control unit 180 can change the shape of the combined image (AI) corresponding to the specific direction drag operation on the thumbnail of the non-trimmed form. For example, it means that the thumbnails whose upper and lower sides are not trimmed can be changed into a rectangular shape that is vertically trimmed. In the thumbnail form, the entire thumbnail can be changed collectively. Alternatively, only a specific thumbnail that the user has touched and dragged may be changed.

The user can trim the top and bottom to perform a drag operation in a direction opposite to the first for a thumbnail of a rectangular shape. For example, it means that the rightward drag operation can be performed.

As shown in (b) of FIG. 11C, in response to the dragging operation in a specific direction, the controller 180 can change the rectangular thumbnails to thumbnails of the shapes that are not vertically trimmed. Through such changes, the user's interest in the mobile terminal 100 can be increased.

As shown in Fig. 12, the control unit 180 can display a thumbnail of the combined image (AI) in which the identifier SL is displayed. Through the identifier SL, the user can easily recognize that the corresponding thumbnail is a combination of a plurality of image clusters.

13 to 15 are views showing a method of reproducing a combined image generated by the mobile terminal of FIG.

As shown in these drawings, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can reproduce the selected combined image AI. The combined image (AI) is different from a typical moving image. That is, it is not a continuous image. However, the controller 180 may combine a plurality of images photographed at a predetermined interval to generate a combined image (AI), which is an animated image having an action. That is, it means that the discontinuous operation of the object can be observed.

By creating the combined image (AI), management of a plurality of images acquired through continuous shooting can be made convenient. For example, it may be possible to manage only one combined image (AI) file, rather than managing each image separately if ten images are acquired. For example, it is possible to edit at least one of a plurality of images through an operation on a combined image (AI), and the detailed contents will be described in corresponding portions.

As shown in Fig. 13 (a), the user can select the combined image AI with the finger F or the like. The control unit 180 can reproduce the selected combined image AI.

The user may select the specific first and second image cluster (IC1, IC2) areas that are known through the identifier (SL) of the combined image (AI). For example, the user may select the first image cluster (IC1) region. If only the first image cluster IC1 region is selected, the control unit 180 can reproduce only the image corresponding to the first image cluster IC1 among the combined images AI.

As shown in FIG. 13 (b), the control unit 180 may provide a screen for playing back the selected combined image AI. For example, it is possible to display a progress bar PB corresponding to the entire combined image AI, an index CI indicating a current playback position, a first button B1 for selecting whether playback / .

As shown in Fig. 14A, the user can select the first button B1 with the finger F or the like. The first button B1 can be toggled between playback and stop. For example, it means that it operates as a playback button at first, and can act as a stop button when played back.

As shown in Fig. 14 (b), the control unit 180 can reproduce the combined image AI. The reproduction of the combined image (AI) differs from the reproduction of a typical moving picture as described above. That is, reproduction of the combined image (AI) means that an image photographed at a constant interval is discontinuously reproduced.

The control unit 180 can change the position of the index CI in accordance with the reproduction of the combined image AI. Through the position of the index (CI), the user can intuitively recognize the current playback position in the combined image (AI).

As shown in Fig. 15 (a), the user can arbitrarily change the playback position. For example, the user can touch the index CI with the finger F or the like. The user can drag the touched index (CI) to the left or right.

The control unit 180 can change the display of the display unit 151 in response to the drag on the index CI as shown in Fig.

FIGS. 16 through 24 are diagrams illustrating operations for a combined image generated by the mobile terminal of FIG. 1;

As shown in these drawings, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention generates a combined image (AI (i)) based on the input acquired from the user and / ) Can be edited.

As shown in Fig. 16 (a), a specific image of the combined image AI may be displayed on the display unit 151. Fig. The user can perform an operation related to the specific image displayed. For operation on the image, the user can perform an operation of touching a specific point of the display unit 151. [ For example, it means that a touch operation of dragging an index (CI) upward can be performed.

As shown in Fig. 16 (b), the combined image AI may be an image in which the first to 10 images I1 to I10 are combined. The display unit 151 may be currently displaying the fourth image I4. In this state, when the touch operation for dragging the index CI upward is input, the controller 180 can delete the currently displayed fourth image I4. A specific image can be deleted through a touch at a specific position during playback of a combined image (AI) without manipulation of each image constituting a combined image (AI), so that a continuously captured image can be managed more effectively.

As shown in FIG. 17 (a), the user can perform a touch operation of touching the index CI and dragging it downward.

As shown in FIG. 17B, the controller 180 may perform an operation of adding a specific image in response to a touch operation of touching the index CI and dragging it downward. For example, if the current fourth image I4 is displayed, the control unit 180 may add the fourth image I4 between the fourth image I4 and the fifth image I5 .

The fourth image I4 may be generated based on the fourth image I4 and the fifth image I5. For example, it is possible to generate the fourth image I4 based on the vector values for the motion of the objects included in the image, and so on.

As shown in Fig. 18 (a), the combined image AI can be unfolded by a user operation and / or a control operation of the control unit 180. [ For example, the control unit 180 may sense the user's selection of the second button B2 displayed on the display unit 151. For example,

As shown in FIG. 18 (b), when the selection of the second button B2 is sensed, the control unit 180 can expand and display the image constituting the currently displayed combined image AI. For example, it means that a thumbnail of the constituent image (SI) of the combined image (AI) can be displayed. By displaying the thumbnail of the configuration image SI, the user can observe each image more specifically.

As shown in FIG. 19 (a), the user can perform a touch operation with respect to the display unit 151 on which the combined image AI is displayed. For example, it means that a touch operation in which the distance between the first and second fingers F1 and F2 is reduced can be performed.

The control unit 180 can display the configuration image SI on the display unit 151 in correspondence with the specific touch operation of the user, as shown in Fig. 19 (b). The center of the constituent image SI displayed on the display unit 151 may be an image corresponding to the position currently being reproduced.

The configuration image SI can be displayed in a form larger than a conventional thumbnail image. Such a configuration image (SI) will hereinafter be referred to as a panel image.

As shown in Figures 20 (a) and 20 (b), the user can perform operations on the configuration image SI in the form of the displayed panel image. For example, it means that the touch operation of dragging the panel image upward, downward, leftward or rightward with the finger F or the like can be performed.

The control unit 180 may perform a specific operation corresponding to the drag-touch operation on the panel image. For example, when the touch operation of dragging the panel image upward is performed, the control unit 180 can delete the panel image. If the corresponding panel image is deleted, the corresponding part may not be reproduced later in the combined image (AI).

As shown in FIG. 21 (a), the control unit 180 can edit a specific image of the combined image (AI). A specific image among the images constituting the combined image (AI) may be blurry due to shaking or the like at the time of photographing. The user can touch the display unit 151 at a time when a specific image is displayed. For example, it means that the touch operation can be performed by touching the index part CI with a long touch or by touching the display part 151.

As shown in FIG. 21 (b), when the user's touch operation is input, the control unit 180 can perform the post-correction for the image. For example, it is possible to perform operations such as correcting a fuzzy part more clearly by referring to the before and / or after images of the image.

As shown in FIG. 22, the control unit 180 can display the state of the combined image (AI). For example, it means that the status icon BI can be displayed at a specific position on the progress bar PB corresponding to the combined image AI.

The status icon BI may reflect the status of a specific image among the images constituting the combined image AI. For example, the status icon BI may indicate the position of a specific image when the quality of the image is lower than that of other images. A status icon (BI) may indicate a boundary between image clusters. For example, when two status icons (BI) are displayed as shown, the corresponding combined image (AI) can intuitively recognize that the three image clusters are combined.

As shown in FIG. 23 (a), the control unit 180 can adjust the position of the specific object IG photographed based on the user's selection. For example, the user can select a specific object IG from the objects indicated by the finger F or the like.

As shown in Fig. 23 (b), the control unit 180 can change the position of the selected specific object IG and display it. For example, it means that a specific object (IG) can be displayed at the center of the display unit 151. That is, a certain object (IG) may be fixed to a specific center of the display 151 display portion 151 and an effect such as moving the background may be displayed.

Fig. 24 shows the difference between the case of playing back an image in a conventional manner and the case of playing back an image after fixing a specific object at a specific point.

As shown in Fig. 24A, when an image is reproduced by a usual method, it can be observed that the position of the background object OI is changed in accordance with the movement of the specific object IG. That is, it can be recognized that as the specific object IG moves, the relative position of the background object OI changes.

As shown in FIG. 24 (b), when an image is reproduced after fixing the specific object IG at one point, the position of the background object OI is shifted ≪ / RTI > That is, it can be recognized that the screen is changed as the background object OI moves. The mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can reproduce a combined image AI based on the selected specific object IG so that the user can receive a different feeling from the normal image reproduction.

FIGS. 25 and 26 are diagrams showing manipulations of a thumbnail of a combined image generated by the mobile terminal of FIG. 1;

As shown in these drawings, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can edit the combined image (AI) through direct operation on the thumbnail image displayed on the preview screen .

As shown in FIG. 25 (a), a plurality of thumbnail images (PI) may be displayed on the preview screen. The thumbnail image (PI) may include a thumbnail of the combined image (AI). The user can select a thumbnail of the combined image AI indicated by the finger F or the like.

As shown in FIG. 25B, when a thumbnail of the combined image AI is selected, the controller 180 can display each of the constituent images SI constituting the combined image AI in a thumbnail form have.

As shown in Fig. 26 (a), a preview screen may be displayed on the display unit 151. Fig. A combined image (AI) generated by continuous shooting may be displayed on the preview screen. The user can perform a specific touch operation on the combined image (AI). For example, it means that you can perform a drag operation on the combined image (AI).

As shown in (b) of FIG. 26, when the user's specific touch operation is input, the control unit 180 can display the thumbnail in full screen. At this time, the control unit 180 can display the upper and lower portions of the image on the display unit 151 in a form that is not trimmed. Thus, the user can more clearly recognize that the image is an image generated by continuous shooting.

As shown in FIG. 27 (a), when the user's specific touch operation is input, the control unit 180 can display the thumbnail on the full screen. At this time, the control unit 1800 can display the boundary of the image that was first photographed although the upper and lower portions of the image were trimmed.

As shown in Figure 2628 (a), the user can perform an operation on a specific image among the displayed constituent images (SI). For example, it means that a touch operation in which a specific image among the displayed constituent images SI is touched and dragged in a certain direction can be performed.

The control unit 180 may perform an operation corresponding to the drag direction. For example, if a drag-and-touch operation is performed such that a specific image is touched and then sent to the outside of the display unit 151, an operation of deleting the corresponding image can be performed.

As shown in Figure 2628 (b), the control unit 180 can delete the corresponding image in response to the user's touch operation. The position of the deleted image may be replaced with another image constituting the combined image (AI). For example, it means that the next image of the deleted image can be displayed.

The present invention described above can be implemented as computer readable codes on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer readable medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, , And may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet).
