Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling a display for image transmission. The method of controlling a display for image transmission reduces the time required to select images to be transmitted and increases user convenience and efficiency by calculating the residual amount of battery power and the amount of image files or data that is capable of being transmitted based on the current amount of battery power. Some embodiments of the method and apparatus notify a user about the amount of image files or data that is capable of being transmitted based on the residual amount of battery power and indicate whether fewer image files need to be selected for transmission.
Claims18
A method of controlling a display in a digital photographing apparatus for image transmission, the method comprising:
- calculating a residual amount of a battery of the digital photographing apparatus;
- calculating an amount of image data capable of being transmitted based on the residual amount of the battery;
- and
- displaying the amount of image data capable of being transmitted,
- wherein calculating the amount of image data capable of being transmitted, and displaying the amount of image data capable of being transmitted are performed immediately after each single image of a plurality of images is selected or deselected.
An apparatus for controlling a display for image transmission, the apparatus comprising:
- a battery residual amount calculator to calculate a residual amount of a battery of the apparatus;
- and
- a controller to calculate an amount of image data capable of being transmitted based on the residual amount of the battery, and control the display to display the amount of image data capable of being transmitted,
- wherein the controller is to calculate the amount of image data capable of being transmitted, and control the display of the amount of image data capable of being transmitted immediately after each single image of a plurality of images is selected or deselected.
A method of controlling a display in a digital photographing apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining a residual amount of a battery of the digital photographing apparatus;
- calculating one of an amount of image data capable of being transmitted and a number of image files capable of being transmitted based on the residual amount of the battery;
- and
- displaying one of the calculated amount of image data and the number of image files,
- wherein calculating the amount of image data capable of being transmitted, and displaying the amount of image data capable of being transmitted are performed immediately after each single image of a plurality of images is selected or deselected.
