Abstract
A method and an apparatus for obtaining image data for video communication in an electronic device are provided. In an embodiment, a method and an apparatus for providing a video communication function that simultaneously uses image data obtained via a plurality of cameras. In the method, first image data is obtained using a first camera. Second image data is obtained using a second camera. The first image data is merged with the second image data. The merged image data is transmitted to a second electronic device. Other embodiments are possible.
Claims20
A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- obtaining first image data using a first camera;
- obtaining second image data using a second camera;
- merging the first image data with the second image data;
- and
- transmitting the merged image data to a second electronic device;
- displaying the first image data with the second image data,
- wherein, based on a user input, a position of a region where the first image data is displayed is swapped for a position of a region where the second image data is displayed.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display and at least one processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to obtain first image data using a first camera, obtain second image data using a second camera, merges the first image data with the second image data, transmit the merged image data to a second electronic device, and control the display to the display the first image data with the second image data,
- wherein, based on a user input, a position of a region where the first image data is displayed is swapped for a position of a region where the second image data is displayed.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by an electronic device, causes the electronic device to:
- obtain first image data using a first camera,
- obtain second image data using a second camera,
- merge the first image data with the second image data,
- transmit the merged image data to a second electronic device,
- display the first image data with the second image data, and
- swap, based on a user input, a position of a region where the first image is displayed for a position of a region where the second image is displayed.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first camera configured to obtain first image data;
- a second camera configured to obtain second image data;
- a processor configured to merge the first image data with the second image data;
- a communication system configured to transmit the merged image data to a second electronic device;
- and
- a display configured to display the first image data with the second image data,
- wherein, based on a user input, a position of a region where the first image is displayed is swapped for a position of a region where the second image is displayed.
