Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display configured to display an application execution screen and a controller configured to, when a screen image of the application execution screen is captured, obtain execution path information for executing a state of the captured screen image, and to store the captured screen image and the execution path information.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- display an application execution screen of an application based on executing the application;
- and
- when a screen image of the application execution screen is captured:
- obtain execution state information of the application corresponding to what is being displayed on the display at the time when the captured screen image is captured, obtain a cropped image of the captured screen image in response to a drawing input on the captured screen image, and store the cropped image and the execution state information,
- wherein the stored execution state information includes execution path information for the electronic device to, upon selection by a user input of the cropped image at a later time, execute the application and place the electronic device in an execution state of the application at the time when the captured screen image is captured,
- wherein the application includes music playback application, and the stored execution state information further includes a music playback point at the time when the captured screen image is captured.
A method for using a captured screen in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- capturing a screen image of an application execution screen of an application;
- obtaining execution state information corresponding to what is being displayed on the display at the time when the captured screen image is captured;
- obtaining a cropped image of the captured screen image in response to a drawing input on the captured screen image;
- and
- storing the cropped image and the execution state information,
- wherein the stored execution state information includes execution path information for the electronic device to, upon selection by a user input of the cropped image at a later time, execute the application and place the electronic device in an execution state of the application at the time when the captured screen image is captured,
- wherein the application includes a music playback application, and the stored execution state information further includes a music playback point at the time when the captured screen image is captured.
A non-transitory storage medium configured to store one or more computer programs for using a screen image, the one or more computer programs including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, cause the at least one processor to control for:
- capturing a screen image of an application execution screen of an application;
- obtaining execution state information corresponding to what is being displayed on the display at the time when the captured screen image is captured;
- obtaining a cropped image of the captured screen image in response to a drawing input on the captured screen image;
- and
- storing the cropped image and the execution state information,
- wherein the stored execution state information includes execution path information for the electronic device to, upon selection by a user input of the cropped image at a later time, execute the application and place the electronic device in an execution state of the application at the time when the captured screen image is captured,
- wherein the application includes a music playback application, and the stored execution state information includes a music playback point at the time when the captured screen image is captured.
