Abstract
A mobile device and method for a messenger-based video call service using camera preview image and voice information are provided. In the method, the mobile device displays a camera preview screen by executing a camera, and detects an input for selecting one or more sharers for a video call from the camera preview screen. Then, the mobile device executes a messenger for providing the video call service, transmits a connection request to the selected sharers through the messenger, and performs the messenger-based video call with the sharers in response to the connection request.
Claims10
An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless communication module;
- a display;
- a camera;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- obtain a first image using the camera;
- display the first image via the display;
- transmit the first image to an external electronic device;
- generate content corresponding to at least one portion of the displayed first image based at least in part on an input, the content including a second image or a handwritten input;
- transmit the content to the external electronic device using the wireless communication module such that the second image or the handwritten input is reproduced at the external electronic device in relation with at least one portion of the transmitted first image;
- obtain, a still image from the first image, based at least part on a command received from the external electronic device, the still image captured by the camera at a time point corresponding to the command;
- display an interface requesting a user input from the apparatus, indicating whether to send the image, responsive to obtaining the still image based at least in part on the command received from the external electronic device;
- and
- transmit the still image to the external electronic device, responsive to receiving user input in the interface from the apparatus indicating to send the still image.
A machine-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, at an electronic device including a camera and a controller, a first image using the camera, the obtaining including displaying the first image via a display operatively coupled with the controller;
- transmitting, via a wireless communication module operatively coupled with the controller, the first image to an external electronic device;
- generating content corresponding to at least one portion of the displayed first image based at least in part on an input, the content including a second image or a handwritten text;
- transmitting the content to the external electronic device using the wireless communication module such that the second image or the handwritten text is reproduced at the external electronic device in relation with at least one portion of the transmitted first image,
- obtaining, a still image based at least part on a command received from the external electronic device, the still image captured by the camera at a time point corresponding to the command;
- displaying an interface at the electronic device, the interface including a scaled down version of the still image and a request for an input indicating whether or not to send the still image, responsive to obtaining the still image based at least in part on the command received from the external electronic device;
- and
- transmitting the still image to the external electronic device, when receiving the input to send the still image in the interface at the electronic device.
