Abstract

An electronic device and a method for generating or storing data are provided. A method of operating an electronic device includes outputting a first application execution screen in a first reproduction area in response to an application execution request, outputting a second reproduction area for generating a command related to recording data generation in at least a part of the first reproduction area, outputting a second application execution screen in the second reproduction area, and generating recording data in response to an input for the second reproduction area.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a memory;
a touch screen; and
at least one processor configured to:
control the touch screen to display an execution image of an application on a first area of the touch screen,
control the touch screen to display an image obtained from a camera or other electronic device on a second area floating in at least part of the first area, the second area providing a function related to generating recording data,
detect a user input on the second area,
in response to the detecting of the user input, generate first recording data corresponding to the execution image of the application displayed on the first area and second recording data corresponding to the image displayed on the second area,
generate video data by combining the first recording data and the second recording data, and
store the video data in the memory.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the touch screen to stop a display function for at least one of the first area and the second area in response to the user input on one of the first area or the second area.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the touch screen to change a shape of at least one of the first area and the second area in response to the user input on one of the first area and the second area.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to define a shape of at least one of the first area and second area according to each application.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to record one or more images displayed in the first area and the second area in a form of layers.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to record one or more images displayed in the first area and the second area in a recording scheme corresponding to the user input.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
control the touch screen to display a list of recording data generated by the recording operation,
determine recording data based on a user input, and
display images on the first area and the second area based on the determined recording data.

8. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
displaying an execution image of an application on a first area of a touch screen;
displaying an image obtained from a camera or other electronic device on a second area floating in at least part of the first area, the second area providing a function realted to generate recording data;
detecting a user input on the second area;
in response to the detecting of the user input, generating first recording data corresponding to the execution image of the application displayed on the first area and second recording data corresponding to the image displayed on the second area;
generating video data by combining the first recording data and the second recording data; and
storing the video data in a memory.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising at least one of:
changing a shape of at least one of the first area and the second area based on the user input on one of the first area and the second area;
stopping a display function for at least one of the first area and outputting of the second area based on the user input on one of the first area and the second area;
determining a position of the second area; and
determining a storage scheme for recording data by the recording operation.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising displaying information related to the recording operation in at least one of the first area and second area.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the generating of the first recording data and the second recording data comprises recording one or more images displayed in the first area and the second area in a form of layers.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying a list of recording data generated by the recording operation;
determining recording data based on a user input; and
displaying images on the first area and the second area based on the determined recording data.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the displaying of the images on the first area and the second area comprises changing and reproducing a layer configuration of at least one image stored in a form of layers.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded therein to execute a process, the process comprising:
displaying an execution image of an application on a first area of a touch screen;
displaying an image obtained from a camera or other electronic device on a second area floating in at least part of the first area, the second area providing a function related to generating recording data;
detecting a user input on the second area;
in response to the detecting of the user input, generating first recording data corresponding to the execution image of the application displayed on the first area and second recording data corresponding to the image displayed on the second area;
generating video data by combining the first recording data and the second recording data; and
storing the video data in a memory.
