In this specification, the singular also includes the plural unless specifically stated otherwise in the phrase. As used herein, "comprises" and / or "comprising" does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other components in addition to the mentioned components.

In this specification, the mobile terminal includes all of various devices capable of performing arithmetic processing and providing a result to a user. For example, a computer can be a desktop PC, a notebook, as well as a smartphone, a tablet PC, a cellular phone, a PCS phone (Personal Communication Service phone), synchronous / asynchronous The mobile terminal of the International Mobile Telecommunication-2000 (IMT-2000), a Palm Personal Computer (PC), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like may also be applicable.

In the present specification, the online mall refers to a virtual shopping space where goods are traded online through wired and wireless communication. In other words, the online mall refers to an online space for relaying commodity transactions, including images, images, and commodity details of the commodities being traded. The online mall may be accessed through a homepage or an application using a mobile terminal possessed by users. In addition, the online mall may correspond to a space for selling used goods as well as a space for selling new goods.

In the present specification, the photographed image refers to the first image photographed using the camera provided in the mobile terminal. That is, the photographed image may mean an image after being photographed by the camera and before applying a specific setting value.

In the present specification, a corrected image refers to an image corrected by applying a specific setting value to the photographed image.

Referring to FIG. 1, the method for acquiring an online mall upload image according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: receiving, by a mobile terminal, a correction setting value for a first photographed image photographing a specific product (S100); Generating a first correction image by applying the setting value to the first photographed image according to a user's request (S200); A shooting location matching step of acquiring shooting location information and matching and storing the set value and shooting location information (S300); Receiving a request for selection of setting value information for a specific shooting location from a user, and generating a second correction image by applying the selected setting value to the captured second captured image (S1300); And transmitting the second correction image to the online mall server or another terminal of the user according to a user's request (S1600). Hereinafter, a detailed description of each step will be described.

The mobile terminal receives a correction setting value for the first photographed image photographing a specific product (S100). That is, the mobile terminal may receive a setting value (that is, a first setting value) for correction suitable for the first captured image captured by the user's manipulation. For example, when the user (for example, the product planner) acquires a photographed image of a product for the first time at a specific place, the user first inputs the first photographed image to apply a setting value that can best express the photographed image. can do. As shown in FIG. 2, the set value may include a plurality of detailed elements such as brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, sharpness, and whether a whitening effect is applied. The user may determine the setting value suitable for the captured image acquired at a specific shooting location by adjusting each detail element.

The mobile terminal generates a first correction image by applying the set value to the first photographed image according to a user's request (S200). That is, the mobile terminal may generate a first correction image by receiving a request for applying a setting value to the first photographed image.

The mobile terminal acquires the shooting location information and matches the set value with the shooting location information and stores it (S300; shooting location matching step). In one embodiment, the mobile terminal may receive the shooting location information from the user, and may match and store a setting value set for applying to the first captured image to the input shooting location.

In another embodiment, the mobile terminal may measure the current position and determine that the set value set to apply the measured current position to the first photographed image is an input photographing place and match the set value. As a method of recognizing the current position of the mobile terminal, various methods may be applied. For example, the current location may be identified based on identification information included in a Wi-Fi signal, a beacon signal, as well as an outdoor positioning method using a GPS signal. For example, a location photographed based on the SSID of the Wi-Fi signal acquired by the mobile terminal may be recognized.

Further, in the shooting location matching step (S300), when the current state information except for the location information is different, the second setting value for the shooting place is matched with the shooting place information, and the identification information for the current state information is matched. Can be stored. Even if a captured image is acquired at the same shooting location, a picture of a different state may be obtained according to a situation condition. For example, in the case of a place where external light is input, there may be a difference in the state of a photograph obtained at the same place according to the weather. Accordingly, the mobile terminal may store the mobile terminal separately including identification information for distinguishing each set value when the current status information is different even in the same place. That is, the mobile terminal includes information (for example, shooting time or weather at the time of shooting) together with the location where the setting value (or location information) can be distinguished by the user or the mobile terminal. You can make it possible.

The mobile terminal receives a selection request for setting value information for a specific shooting location from the user, and applies the selected setting value to the captured second captured image to generate a second correction image (S1300). First, the mobile terminal receives a request for selection of setting value information for a specific shooting location from a user. In one embodiment, the mobile terminal may directly receive the desired set value information from the user. That is, the user may search for and select a setting value corresponding to a location for acquiring the second captured image from among a plurality of setting values displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal. As shown in FIG. 10, the mobile terminal is displayed in the 'Quick Calibration' tab.

In another embodiment, the mobile terminal may determine a shooting location based on the location information recognition method and select a setting value. For example, when the setting value acquired when the first correction image is generated includes the SSID of the Wi-Fi existing at the shooting location, the mobile terminal recognizes the SSID of the Wi-Fi in the location where the second captured image is acquired. Then, the setting value corresponding to the SSID can be extracted.

Thereafter, the mobile terminal generates the second correction image by applying the selected setting value to the captured second captured image.

If it is determined by the user that a setting value corresponding to the second photographed image is not stored, the mobile terminal performs a setting interface operation as shown in FIG. 2 from the user to input a new setting value, and based on the new setting value. The second correction image may be generated.

The mobile terminal transmits a second correction image to the online mall server or another terminal of the user at the user's request (S1600). The user may determine a transmission target of the second correction image according to a desired method. If the user wants to upload to the online mall server at the time of shooting, the mobile terminal may directly transmit the second correction image to the online mall server. In addition, when the user wants to perform additional tasks in a separate terminal, the mobile terminal may transmit the second correction image to a specific folder of the other terminal of the user at the request of the user.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, when the second correction image is to be transmitted to the online mall server and displayed on the homepage of the online mall, acquiring product classification information and product detail information and transmitting it to the online mall server ( S1700); may further include. That is, the mobile terminal may input product classification information (eg, a category to which the product corresponding to the second correction image belongs) and product detail information (eg, product size, product price, etc.) on the screen. The interface can be created or received and provided. Thereafter, the mobile terminal may receive product classification information and product detail information from the user, and transmit the input product classification information and product detail information to the online mall server along with the second correction image and upload them to the online mall. .

In addition, as shown in Figure 4, the step of obtaining the size information that meets the upload image conditions of the particular online mall (S400); And adjusting the size of the second photographed image based on the size information (S500). Upload image conditions (eg, photo image size, capacity size, etc.) required by the online mall may be different, and generally, the size of the photographed image photographed by the camera is larger than the size required in the online mall. Accordingly, the mobile terminal may receive size information corresponding to the upload image condition of a specific online mall (S400) and adjust the size of the second photographed image based on the size information (S500). The mobile terminal may adjust the size of the second photographed image itself, or may adjust the size by cutting out an unnecessary area in the second photographed image. That is, as the mobile terminal removes a part of the background area, the mobile terminal can be reduced to a size that meets the uploading conditions of the online mall.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the step of obtaining a list of unnecessary data of the upload image of the specific online mall (S600); And deleting data in the second captured image based on the unnecessary data list (S700). For example, the photographed image acquired by the camera of the mobile terminal includes GPS information corresponding to the photographed location, but GPS information is not required when uploading the image to the online mall. Therefore, the mobile terminal acquires an unnecessary data list (for example, received from an online mall server) when uploading to the online mall (S600), and may remove data included in the list in the second photographed image (S700). ). Through this, the capacity of the second correction image to be uploaded to the online mall may be reduced.

In addition, as shown in Figure 6, the step of extracting one or more setting values based on the current position information obtained by the mobile terminal (S800); And displaying (S900) the extracted one or more setting values on a screen. That is, the mobile terminal can grasp the current position and extract one or more setting values stored while acquiring a captured image at the corresponding position. Thereafter, as the mobile terminal provides the extracted one or more setting values to the screen, the mobile terminal may select and provide a setting value that is likely to be used in accordance with the current position among the many setting values stored in the mobile terminal to provide to the user.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the method may further include extracting one or more setting values in the order of high relevance by reflecting the current state information (S1000). The current state information may include shooting time, current location information, weather information, and the like. The mobile terminal may calculate the priority of the plurality of setting values by reflecting at least one or more elements included in the current status information. Therefore, the user can easily select a setting value suitable for the current state of photographing.

In addition, as shown in Figure 8, the step of recognizing the boundary between the product image and the background image in the second photographed image (S1100); And converting a background image into a specific color based on the boundary (S1200). The photographed image may include a product image corresponding to a product and a background image forming a background excluding the product. When the user shoots the product when the product is photographed on a general background other than the desired color, it is necessary to convert the background image to a color suitable for uploading to the online page. Accordingly, the mobile terminal may recognize the boundary between the product image and the background image in the second photographed image (S1100), and change the background image to a desired color or pattern (S1200). In this way, the user does not need to prepare a specific background of the shooting location, and only needs to perform the shooting in a background where the boundary between the product image and the background image can be recognized to generate a converted image suitable for the online mall page. It is possible to easily generate an image for upload.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, comparing the first correction image to which the same setting value is applied as the second correction image to which the setting value is applied (S1400); And calculating a suitability of applying the set value to the second corrected image (S1500). The setting value for a specific shooting location may not be suitable for generating a second correction image by applying it to the second photographing image as current state information such as weather is different. In addition, when the mobile terminal extracts the setting value based on the determination of the location information, the wrong setting value may be applied to the second captured image due to the position recognition error. Therefore, it may be necessary to determine whether it is appropriate to apply a specific setting value to the second captured image.

The mobile terminal may compare the second correction image generated by applying the specific setting value applied to the first correction image corrected by applying the same setting value (S1400). That is, the mobile terminal can check whether the second correction image is generated in the same state as the first correction image by comparing the brightness and saturation states of the first correction image and the second correction image. That is, the mobile terminal may calculate the suitability of whether it is appropriate to apply the same set value as the first correction image to the second photographed image and correct it (S1500). The mobile terminal may inform the user that it is inappropriate to apply the corresponding set value when the calculated fitness is out of a specific range. To this end, the mobile terminal may store the first correction image correcting the first photographed image, which is the target of setting value storage, as a comparison reference of the corresponding setting value.

The image acquisition method for uploading online malls according to an embodiment of the present invention described above may be implemented as a program (or an application) to be executed in combination with a computer which is hardware and stored in a medium.

The above-described program includes C, C ++, JAVA, machine language, etc. which can be read by the computer's processor (CPU) through the computer's device interface so that the computer reads the program and executes the methods implemented as the program.
