Abstract
An image displaying system and method in which images that are categorized according to the aspect ratio of width of height thereof are displayed in a selection window and the images are put into and edited in an editing window, and an image display system employing the method. In the system and method, the aspect ratio of height to width of a layout of the editing window is determined, images having the same aspect ratio of height to width as the layout are detected and displayed in the selection window, an image is selected from among the displayed images, and the selected image is put into and edited in the layout.
Claims12
An image displaying method comprising:
- displaying, on a graphical user interface (GUI), an editing window and a separate selection window, wherein the editing window comprises first and second layouts and the selection window comprises a first plurality of images;
- receiving a first signal, indicating a user's choice of a first image from the selection window to be placed in the first layout of the editing window, based on an interaction of the user with the GUI;
- determining, using a processor, the first layout to be a horizontal layout when the first image is a horizontal image and determining the first layout to be a vertical layout when the first image is a vertical image irrespective of the aspect ratio of the first layout;
- determining, using a processor, the aspect ratio of height to width of the first and second layouts;
- displaying, in response to receiving the first signal, a second plurality of images in the selection window, wherein each image displayed in the selection window has a horizontal or vertical orientation that is the same as the first image when the first and second layouts have the same aspect ratio, and
- wherein each image displayed in the selection window has a horizontal or vertical orientation that is opposite to the first image when first and second layouts have opposite aspect ratios;
- receiving a second signal, indicating the user's choice of a second image selected from the second plurality of images in the selection window to be placed in the second layout, based on a further interaction of the user with the GUI;
- and
- displaying the user-selected second image in the second layout.

An image display system comprising:
- a terminal including a display unit to display a selection window displaying one or more images, and an editing window in which one of the one or more images displayed in the selection window may be edited;
- an editing server including a detection unit to identify a plurality of images having the same aspect ratio from among a plurality of images of different aspect ratios, and an editing unit into which the detected images are to be put to be edited;
- and
- a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to:

- receive a first signal, indicating a user's choice of a first image from the selection window to be placed in the first layout of the editing window;
- determine the first layout to be a horizontal layout when the first image is a horizontal image and determining the first layout to be a vertical layout when the first image is a vertical image irrespective of the aspect ratio of the first layout;
- display in response to the first signal, a second plurality of images in the selection window, wherein each image displayed in the selection window has a horizontal or vertical orientation that is the same as the first image when the first and second layouts have the same aspect ratio, and
- wherein each image displayed in the selection window has a horizontal or vertical orientation that is opposite to the first image when first and second layouts have opposite aspect ratios;
- receive a second signal, indicating the user's choice of a second image selected from the second plurality of images in the selection window to be placed in the second layout;
- and
- display the user-selected second image in the second layout.
