Abstract
A method of relaying an image. The method includes receiving a plurality of images which are photographed by a plurality of image processing apparatuses, determining orientation modes of the plurality of images, combining the plurality of images to generate a combined image in which the plurality of combined images are orientated in the same way, and transmitting the combined image to the plurality of image processing apparatuses.
Claims19
A method of relaying an image comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images from a plurality of image processing apparatuses;
- determining orientation modes of each of the plurality of images, wherein the orientation mode of said each of the plurality of images is determined according to an orientation state of a display panel contained in a respective image processing apparatus from among the plurality of image processing apparatuses;
- combining the plurality of images to generate a combined image, the combined image being an image in which the plurality of images are adjusted and aligned to be in the same orientation mode;
- and
- transmitting the combined image together with information about the combined image which comprises a number of images that were combined to the plurality of image processing apparatuses,
- wherein the information about the combined image further comprises the determined orientation mode of each of the plurality of images.

A method of processing an image comprising:
- capturing an image by an image processing apparatus;
- transmitting the captured image to an image relaying apparatus;
- receiving information together with a combined image in which the captured image and at least one other image of at least one other image processing apparatus are combined using the image relaying apparatus;
- extracting the captured image and the at least one other image from the combined image based on the information to change the orientation of the extracted images in the combined image, and rendering the extracted images into an image having a pre-set layout;
- and
- displaying the rendered image,
- wherein the information about the combined image comprises a number of images being combined and an orientation mode of each of the images.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a camera which photographs an image;
- a communication interface which transmits the photographed image and which receives information comprising determined orientation of each of a plurality of images, rotation information, scale information, and an aspect ratio, together with a combined image in which the photographed image and at least one other image of at least one other image processing apparatus from among the plurality of images, are combined;
- an image processor which image-processes the combined image so that the photographed image and the at least one other image in the combined image have a pre-set orientation mode;
- and
- a user interface which displays the image-processed combined image.
