Abstract
A method for capturing an image with audio data includes recording and storing audio data, capturing an image on request, and matching and storing the recorded audio data with the captured image, thereby allowing a user to more lively record an audio signal when an image is captured. An apparatus for capturing an image with audio data includes a camera unit configured to capture an image, an audio data recording unit configured to record audio data, and a controller configured to store an image captured by the camera unit, and match and store audio data recorded by the audio data recording unit for a predetermined period of time after the camera unit captured the image.
Claims17
An apparatus for capturing an image with audio data, the apparatus comprising:
- a camera unit configured to capture a first image and a second image, the first image captured at a first time;
- an audio data recording unit configured to record audio data;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- store, in a memory, first audio data which is associated with the first image and is recorded using the audio data recording unit, the first audio data including audio data recorded from a time interval starting prior to the first time and concluding after the first time,
- display, on a screen, a first thumbnail image of the first image and a second thumbnail image of the second image, and
- display, on the first thumbnail image, an indicator to indicate that the first image is associated with the first audio data,
- wherein the controller is configured to extract the first audio data from audio data recorded during a predetermined period of time, the predetermined period of time running from a starting time of an image capture mode prior to the first time to an ending time of the image capture mode after the first time and store the extracted first audio data and the first image in the memory, and
- wherein the first audio data is a subset of the audio data recorded during the predetermined period of time.
