Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory to store a plurality of images which are discontinuously captured and a processor to select at least some of the plurality of images, generate an image combination file in a format for sequentially playing the selected images by combining the selected images, and store the image combination file in the memory. The device can further provide a display to add, delete and arrange images of the image combination files.
Claims17
A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a camera;
- a memory configured to store a plurality of images captured by the camera;
- a touch screen display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the touch screen display to display a menu for selecting, by a user, an image selection condition from a plurality of image selection conditions displayed on the menu, wherein the image selection condition is a characteristic of at least some images of the plurality of images,
- select at least two images of the plurality of images based on the selected image selection condition,
- arrange the selected images based on at least one of a time when each of the images is captured by the camera, a place where each of the images is captured, a person included in each of the images, a tag inserted into each of the images, or an image pattern,
- generate a single combination image file in a format for sequentially playing the arranged images by combining the arranged images,
- divide a part of the touch screen display on which the single combination image file is displayed into a plurality of regions corresponding to a number of images included in the single combination image file, and
- control the touch screen display to display an image corresponding to a region of the part of the display on which a user operation is input if the user operation is input on the region of the part of the display on which the single combination image file is displayed.

A method for generating an image file in a portable electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying a menu for selecting, by a user, an image selection condition from a plurality of image selection conditions displayed on the menu, wherein the image selection condition is a characteristic of at least some images of the plurality of images;
- selecting, by at least one processor, at least two images of the plurality of images which are discontinuously captured and are stored in a memory based on the selected image selection condition;
- arranging, by the at least one processor, the selected images based on at least one of a time when each of the images is captured, a place where each of the images is captured by a camera, a person included in each of the images, a tag inserted into each of the images, or an image pattern;
- generating, by the at least one processor, a single combination image file in a format for sequentially playing the arranged images by combining the arranged images;
- displaying, on a touch screen display, two arranged images, which are arranged by the at least one processor, of the single combination image file;
- dividing a part of the display which displays the single combination image file into a plurality of regions corresponding to a number of images included in the single combination image file;
- and
- displaying an image corresponding to the part of the touch screen display on which a user operation is input, if the user operation is input on the part of the touch screen display on which the single combination image file is displayed.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium configured to store one or more computer programs including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor in a portable electronic device, cause the at least one processor to control for:
- displaying a menu for selecting, by a user, an image selection condition from a plurality of image selection conditions displayed on the menu, wherein the image selection condition is a characteristic of at least some images of a plurality of images;
- selecting at least two images of the plurality of images which are discontinuously captured and are stored in a memory based on the selected image selection condition;
- arranging the selected images based on at least one of a time when each of the images is captured by a camera, a place where each of the images is captured, a person included in each of the images, a tag inserted into each of the images, or an image pattern;
- generating a single combination image file in a format for sequentially playing the arranged images by combining the arranged images;
- displaying two arranged images, which are arranged by the at least one processor, of the single combination image file;
- dividing a part of the display which displays the single combination image file into a plurality of regions corresponding to a number of images included in the single combination image file;
- and
- displaying an image corresponding to the part of the touch screen display on which a user operation is input, if the user operation is input on the part of the touch screen display on which the single combination image file is displayed.
