In addition, a menu for adjusting various items such as the gain of the camera sensor as well as the exposure value can be displayed.

In the above description, various methods for editing a still image corresponding to a selected thumbnail are described. Hereinafter, various methods of editing a video corresponding to a selected thumbnail in the case of a moving image will be described.

32 to 51 are various examples of a method of editing moving images according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, various methods of editing video will be described. Further, the description of the parts overlapping with the above description will be omitted.

On the other hand, when a thumbnail is touched in a state where a preview screen is displayed, it is preferable that the preview screen is switched to a screen corresponding to a thumbnail.

32 to 37 show a first embodiment relating to editing of moving images.

If the image corresponding to the long touch thumbnail is a moving image, the delete menu 638 may be displayed as shown in FIG. The delete menu 638 may be for deleting at least one of a plurality of frames included in the moving image.

Accordingly, when the user drags the floating thumbnail 632 and places it in the delete menu 638, the continuous frame 637 of the image is displayed, as shown in FIG.

Thereafter, the user can drag the displayed continuous frame 637 to the left or right so that one frame to be deleted is located in the delete menu 638. [

Then, as shown in Fig. 34, when the first frame 637-1 is located in the delete menu 638, the first frame 637-1 may be deleted if the user drags the frame upward or downward . In this case, as shown in Fig. 35, the original continuous frame 637 can be changed and displayed in a state in which the first frame 637-1 is deleted. Also, when the touch is released, the original continuous frame 637 can be changed to the deleted state and the first frame 637-1 can be stored.

On the other hand, if it is desired to further extend the range of the continuous frame 637 to be displayed, as shown in FIG. 36, by dragging the user in the left and right direction of the currently displayed continuous frame 637, A continuous frame 639 can be displayed.

Figs. 38 to 51 show a second embodiment relating to editing of moving images. Hereinafter, a method for capturing a first moving image and editing a second moving image separately will be described.

Referring to FIG. 38, the current moving picture is being recorded, and the moving picture being shot is displayed in full screen. In this case, when the user touches the thumbnail with a long touch or a long touch and then drags in the lower direction of the screen, a plurality of continuous frames 737-1 through 737-5 of the moving picture corresponding to the selected thumbnail can be displayed on one side of the screen. In this case, if the user drags in the left and right direction on the consecutive frames 737-1 to 737-5, the frame can be expanded in the same manner as in Fig.

For example, referring to FIG. 39 showing a frame over time, the user touch may be located between the fourth frame 737-4 and the fifth frame 737-5. Then, when the user drags in the left and right direction, a plurality of frames included between the fourth frame 737-4 and the fifth frame 737-5 can be displayed.

On the other hand, two touches may be dragged in opposite directions as shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 41, the currently displayed continuous frames of 10 second intervals are further subdivided and can be displayed as continuous frames at intervals of 5 seconds.

For example, referring to FIG. 41 showing a frame over time, the first touch may be located between the first frame 737-1 to the fifth frame 737-5. Thereafter, when the second touch is also positioned between the first frame 737-1 to the fifth frame 737-5 and dragging in the left and right direction, a frame between the frames can be displayed.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 42, it is also possible to drag in the vertical direction. In this case, as shown in FIG. 43, the frame in which the touch is located may gradually fade out as the vertical drag is performed. Therefore, if the up and down dragging is performed by a predetermined number of times, the frame can be deleted.

For example, when the user repeatedly performs the dragging in the vertical direction on the third frame 737-3 of the five consecutive frames 737-1 to 737-5 displayed as in the case of Fig. 42, The third frame 737-3 may gradually be faded out as shown in FIG. In this case, a message indicating that the frame has been deleted may be displayed for a predetermined time.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 44, a circle or an elliptical shape can be drawn and dragged. In this case, as shown in FIG. 45, gradually from the frame corresponding to the dragged position to the adjacent frame, it can be fade-in or fade-out.

For example, in the case of the third frame 737-3 and the fourth frame 737-4 of the five consecutive frames 737-1 to 737-5 displayed as in the case of Fig. 44, If the number of times of dragging is repeated several times, the degree of blurring of the third frame 737-3 and the fourth frame 737-4 may be increased in proportion to the number of times of dragging as shown in FIG. In this case, the degree of blurring toward the left frame of the third frame 737-3 or toward the right frame of the fourth frame 737-4 may be reduced.

In the case of FIG. 44, if the frame is dragged in the clockwise direction, the frame fades-in, and if the frame is dragged in the counterclockwise direction, the frame can be fade-out, or vice versa.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 46, a moving picture is being recorded, and a thumbnail 731 corresponding to the moving picture being recorded may be displayed on one side of the screen. In this case, when the user touches the thumbnail 731 for a long time, a thumbnail of the recorded moving picture as shown in FIG. 47 can be displayed in the playback area 710, which is one area of the entire screen. In this case, regardless of whether or not the thumbnail 731 is long-touched, the moving picture recording can be continued.

Also, a delete menu 738, a play menu 711, and a tagging menu 733 may be displayed in the playback area 710. [ In addition to the menu shown in FIG. 47, various menus as described above may be displayed.

The tagging menu 733 may be for tagging and storing the point of time when the thumbnail 731 is long-touched. As shown in FIG. 47, when the user touches the thumbnail 731 to drag the thumbnail 731 to the tagging menu 733 and then releases the touch, the frame corresponding to the point of time when the thumbnail 731 is touched can be tagged . Therefore, the user can play back from the frame at the time of tagging at a later time.

The playback menu 711 may be to cause the thumbnail 731 to play back the movie that was recorded until the point at which the thumbnail 731 was touched. As shown in FIG. 47, the playback menu 711 can be displayed in the center of the playback area 710. In this case, as shown in FIG. 48, the user can drag the thumbnail 731 to the playback menu 711 after long touching. In this case, if the touch on the playback menu 711 is maintained for a preset time, the moving picture recorded until the time when the thumbnail 731 is touched can be played back.

When the touch is moved from the playback menu 711 to another point, the above-described moving picture playback is continued, and the stop menu 712 and the progress bar 713 are displayed as shown in FIG. 49 have.

The progress bar 713 may be for displaying the total reproduction time of the recorded moving picture and the reproduction time until the present through various visual effects.

The stop menu 712 may be for stopping movie playback. Therefore, if the user drags on the pause menu 712 and holds the touch for a preset time, the motion picture playback can be stopped. In this case, as shown in Fig. 50, a delete menu 738 may be displayed on one side of the pause menu 712. Fig.

The delete menu 738 may be for causing a particular frame to be deleted. Therefore, when the user drags the menu to the delete menu 738 while the video playback is stopped as shown in FIG. 50, the previous frame for the currently displayed frame in the playback region 710 and the subsequent frame Can be continuously displayed. Therefore, the user can drag to a frame to be deleted, and a specific method may be the same as that described in FIG. 38 to FIG.
