Apparatus and method for content display in a mobile terminal

An apparatus for content display, comprising:

• a display unit;
• and
• a control unit configured to:
• display, on the display unit, selected map data, the selected map data including at least one three-dimensional (3D) object;
• and
• display one or more content items created at locations represented by the selected map data, wherein the displaying of the one or more content items includes superimposing each of the one or more content items onto an image of a 3D object at a position in the image of the 3D object that is situated between a first end of the 3D object and a second end of the 3D object, the position being selected based on an altitude of the location at which that content item is created.

An apparatus for content display, comprising:

• a camera module;
• a control unit configured to:
• display an image captured by the camera module;
• and
• display one or more content items created at locations depicted in the displayed image, wherein the displaying of the one or more content items includes superimposing the one or more content items onto the image, wherein each of the displayed content items is superimposed onto the image based on an altitude of the location at which that content item is created,
• wherein each of the content items is resized based on a distance between a current location of the apparatus and the location at which that content item is created prior to that content item being superimposed onto the image.

A method for content display in an electronic device, comprising:

• storing, in a memory, content items;
• displaying, on a display unit, a display region, the display region including images of physical structures;
• and
• displaying, in the display region, one or more content items, wherein the displaying includes superimposing each of the content items onto an image of a physical structure in which the content item is created at a position in the image of the physical structure that is situated between a first end and a second end of the physical structure, the position being selected based on an altitude of a location at which that content item is created.
