Abstract
Provided is an image displaying apparatus including a display configured to display a first image; a checker configured to check a correlation between the first image and a second image by analyzing the first and second images; a determiner configured to determine a change effect to be applied when the display is changed from a state of displaying the first image to a state of displaying the second image, based on the correlation; and a changer configured to change an image displayed on the display from the first image to the second image by applying the change effect.
Claims16
An image displaying apparatus for displaying an image by changing a first image to a second image, the apparatus comprising:
- a display displaying an image switching from the first image to the second image;
- and
- a processor having a plurality of functional units configured to execute a plurality of functions, the plurality of functional units including;
- a checker configured to check whether a correlation exists between the first image and the second image by determining whether each of the first image and the second image is a least a part of a same image;
- a determiner configured to determine a change effect to be applied when the display is changed from a state of displaying the first image to a state of displaying the second image, based on determining that the correlation exists;
- and
- a changer configured to change an image displayed on the display from the first image to the second image by applying the change effect,
- wherein the determiner is further configured to determine that no change effect is to be applied based on determining that no correlation exists.
An image displaying method performed by an image displaying apparatus for displaying an image by changing a first image to a second image, the image displaying method comprising:
- displaying an image switching from the first image to the second image, on a display;
- checking whether a correlation exists between the first image and the second image by determining whether each of the first image and the second image is at least a part of a same image;
- determining a change effect to be applied when the display is changed from a state of displaying the first image to a state of displaying the second image based on determining that the correlation exists;
- and
- changing an image being displayed from the first image to the second image by applying the change effect,
- wherein no change effect is determined to be applied based on determining that no correlation exists.
A computer program stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, for executing an image displaying method executed by a computer for displaying an image by changing a first image to a second image, the method comprising:
- displaying an image switching from the first image to the second image, on a display;
- checking whether a correlation exists between the first image and the second image by determining whether each of the first image and second image is at least a part of a same image;
- determining a change effect to be applied when the display is changed from a state of displaying the first image to a state of displaying the second image based on determining that the correlation exists;
- and
- changing an image being displayed from the first image to the second image by applying the change effect,
- wherein no change effect is determined to be applied based on determining that no correlation exists.
