The electronic apparatus includes a memory that stores pictures, a transceiver that communicates with an external server, a display that detects a user interaction, and a processor that reads pictures from the memory. The processor first selects pictures based on a weighted value, determines first attribute information and second attribute information from the first selected pictures, stores the first attribute information and the second attribute information in a database form, second selects at least one picture from among the first selected pictures based on the first attribute information, the second attribute information and user context information, controls the transceiver to receive a product image corresponding to the second selected picture from the external server, and creates a composite image by synthesizing the second selected picture and the product image. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for generating a composite image of an electronic apparatus, the method comprising: first selecting at least one picture based on a weighted value; determining first attribute information and second attribute information based on the first selected at least one picture; storing the first attribute information and the second attribute information in a database form; second selecting at least one picture from among the first selected at least one picture based on the first attribute information, the second attribute information and user context information; receiving a product image corresponding to the second selected at least one picture from a server; and generating a composite image by synthesizing the second selected at least one picture with the product image. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the weighted value is determined based on when a picture among the plurality of pictures is created. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the weighted value is determined based on a shape of an object included in a picture. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the weighted value is determined based on whether a picture is shared. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the weighted value is determined based on a user interaction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the user interaction is detected while a picture is displayed on a screen. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the weighted value is increased in response to the user interaction being a zoom-in gesture. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first attribute information comprises information on an object included in a picture. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second attribute information comprises information on a background of a picture. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user text information includes position information of a user. ### Claim 11 An apparatus for generating a composite image, the apparatus comprising: a memory configured to store a plurality of pictures; a transceiver configured to communicate with an external server; a display configured to detect a user interaction; and a processor configured to: read the plurality of pictures from the memory, first select at least one picture based on a weighted value, determine first attribute information and second attribute information from the first selected at least one picture, store the first attribute information and the second attribute information in a database form, and second select at least one picture from among the first selected at least one picture based on the first attribute information, the second attribute information and user context information, control the transceiver to receive a product image corresponding to the second selected picture from the external server, and create a composite image by synthesizing the second selected at least one picture and the product image. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the weighted value is determined based on when a picture among the plurality of pictures is created. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the weighted value is determined based on a shape of an object included in a picture. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the weighted value is determined based on whether a picture is shared. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the weighted value is determined based on a user interaction. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the user interaction is detected while a picture is displayed on a screen. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein the weighted value is increased in response to the user interaction being a zoom-in gesture. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the first attribute information comprises information on an object included in a picture. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the second attribute information comprises information on a background of a picture. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the user context information includes position information of a user.
