Abstract
A terminal having a camera and a method of processing an image in the camera are disclosed. The method includes collecting, using a camera, a user image captured at a user focal length and a link image captured at a selective focal length, and storing the user image and the link image by linking the link image with the user image. Using this method, a user can capture a subject and circumstances around the subject when the image is captured.
Claims18
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a first image capturing unit having a first focal length;
- a second image capturing unit having a second focal length, the second focal length being different from the first focal length;
- a display unit;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- acquire, using the first image capturing unit, a first image,
- control the display unit to display a first image along with an icon, and
- in response to receiving a user selection of the icon displayed on the display unit, control the display unit to display a reduced image of a first image centered on and overlapping a second image acquired by the second image capturing unit while the first image capturing unit acquires a first image,
- wherein the reduced image is reduced in size from a first image acquired by the first image capturing unit.
A method of operating a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- acquiring, using a first image capturing unit having a first focal length, a first image;
- displaying a first image along with an icon on a display unit;
- and
- in response to receiving a user selection of the icon displayed on the display unit, displaying, on the display unit, a reduced image of a first image centered on and overlapping a second image acquired by a second image capturing unit while the first image capturing unit acquires a first image,
- wherein the second image capturing unit has a second focal length different from the first focal length,
- wherein the reduced image is reduced in size from a first image acquired by the first image capturing unit.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions thereon that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform functions including:
- acquiring, using a first image capturing unit having a first focal length, a first image;
- displaying a first image along with an icon on a display unit;
- and
- in response to receiving a user selection of the icon displayed on the display unit, displaying, on the display unit, a reduced image of a first image centered on and overlapping a second image acquired by a second image capturing unit while the first image capturing unit acquired a first image,
- wherein the second image capturing unit has a second focal length different from the first focal length,
- wherein the reduced image is reduced in size from a first image acquired by the first image capturing unit.
