Abstract

A method and an apparatus are provided for processing multimedia information by an electronic device including at least two cameras. The method includes obtaining, via a first camera of the at least two cameras, first video information corresponding to a first focus region; obtaining, via a second camera of the at least two cameras, second video information corresponding to a second focus region within the first focus region, the second focus region being smaller than the first focus region; and displaying, in a split screen layout, the first video information and the second video information on a display of the electronic device.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A method performed by an electronic device including at least two cameras, the method comprising:

obtaining, via a first camera of the at least two cameras, first video information corresponding to a first focus region;
obtaining, via a second camera of the at least two cameras, second video information corresponding to a second focus region within the first focus region, the second focus region being smaller than the first focus region wherein the first camera and the second camera are positioned side by side on a same surface of the electronic device;
displaying the first video information and the second video information in a split screen on a display of the electronic device, wherein the first video information corresponding to the first focus region is displayed in a first portion of the split screen and the second video information corresponding to the second focus region within the first focus region is displayed in a second portion of the split screen, wherein the second portion is separate from and adjacent to the first portion;
receiving, on the split screen in which the first video information and the second video information is displayed, a first input to modify an enlargement factor of the second focus region;
displaying, in the split screen, second video information according to the modified enlargement factor of the second focus region while displaying the first video information, wherein the second video information is obtained via the second camera;
receiving a second input to store third video information;
synthesizing the third video information by combining the first video information and the second video information in the split screen, as a response to the received second input;
storing the third video information including the split screen;
and
playing the third video information including the split screen in response to receiving a third input,
wherein the first input includes a drag to adjust the enlargement factor of the second focus region.

at least two cameras including a first camera and a second camera;
a display;
at least one processor configured to:
obtain, via the first camera, first video information corresponding to a first focus region, and
obtain, via the second camera, second video information corresponding to a second focus region within the first focus region, the second focus region being smaller than the first focus region, wherein the first camera and the second camera are positioned side by side on a same surface of the electronic device;
and
display the first video information and the second video information in a split screen on the display, wherein the first video information corresponding to the first focus region is displayed in a first portion of the split screen and the second video information corresponding to the second focus region within the first focus region is displayed in a second portion of the split screen, wherein the second portion is separate from and adjacent to the first portion,
receive, on the split screen in which the first video information and the second video information is displayed, a first input to modify an enlargement factor of the second focus region, and
display, in the split screen, second video information according to the modified enlargement factor of the second focus region while displaying the first video information, wherein the second video information is obtained via the second camera;
receive a second input to store third video information;
synthesize the third video information by combining the first video information and the second video information in the split screen, as a response to the received second input;
store the third video information including the split screen;
and
play the third video information including the split screen in response to receiving a third input,
wherein the first input includes a drag to adjust the enlargement factor of the second focus region.
