Abstract

An electronic device, comprising: a memory; at least one processor operatively coupled to the memory, configured to: receive a first image or metadata corresponding to the first image from an external electronic device; capture a second image by using a camera; detect a change of a first region of interest of the first image; change a second region of interest of the second image based on the change of the first region of interest; and display the second region of interest on a display, wherein displaying the second region of interest includes a displaying at least a portion of the second image that corresponds to the second region of interest.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a memory;
a display; and
at least one processor operably coupled with the memory, configured to:
receive, from an external electronic device, a first image,
acquire a second image by using a camera operably coupled with the electronic device,
identify that a region of interest in the first image is changed from a first region to a second region based on the first image, wherein the first region includes at least the second region; and
in response to the identifying that the region of interest in the first image is changed from the first region to the second region, control the display to display at least a portion of the second image corresponding to the second region by enlarging at least the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
identify that a specific portion of the first image is selected; and
associate the specific portion of the first image with the region of interest when the specific portion of the first image is selected.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
identify a plurality of feature points in the second image;
select one or more feature points from the plurality of feature points that correspond to the region of interest; and
identify the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region, based on the selected one or more feature points.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute at least one of:
identifying a size of the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region when a size of the first region of interest is changed; or
identifying a location of the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region when a location of the first region of interest is changed.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the display to display at least the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region concurrently with the image in the second region, such that the change of the region of interest and the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region become visible on the display at substantially the same time.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
compare the second region and the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region;
display a first indication of a result of the comparison on the display, and
transmit the result of the comparison to the external electronic device.

7. A method for use in an electronic device, comprising:
receiving, from an external electronic device, a first image;
acquiring a second image by using a camera operably coupled with the electronic device;
identifying that a region of interest in the first image is changed from a first region to a second region based on the first image, wherein the first region includes at least the second region; and
in response to the identifying that the region of interest in the first image is change from the first region to the second region, controlling a display of the electronic device to display at least a portion of the second image corresponding to the second region by enlarging at least the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving, from the external electronic device, metadata corresponding to the first image,
wherein the metadata includes a plurality of feature points corresponding to the first image, further comprising:
associating a first portion of the first image with the first region of interest when the metadata includes a first metadata; and
associating a second portion of the first image with the first region of interest when the metadata includes a second metadata.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the displaying of at least the portion of the second image comprises:
controlling the display to display the at least the portion of the second image concurrently with the first image in the second region, such that the change of the region of interest and the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region become visible on the display at substantially the same time.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
comparing the second region and the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region;
display a first indication of a result of the comparison on the display, and
transmitting the result of the comparison to the external electronic device.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more processor-executable instructions which when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform a method comprising the steps of:
receiving, from an external electronic device, a first image;
acquiring a second image by using a camera operably coupled with an electronic device;
identifying that a region of interest in the first image is changed from a first region to a second region based on the first image, wherein the first region includes at least the second region; and
in response to the identifying that the region of interest in the first image is change from the first region to the second region, controlling a display of the electronic device at least a portion of the second image corresponding to the second region by enlarging at least the portion of the second image corresponding to the second region.

12. An electronic device, comprising:
a communication module;
a memory;
at least one processor operatively coupled to the communication module and the memory, configured to:
acquire a first image by executing a zoom operation of a camera operably coupled with the electronic device,
in response to executing of the zoom operation of the camera, identify a first region of interest in the first image;
broadcast, through the communication module, information corresponding to the first region of interest;
in response to broadcasting of the information, receive feedback information from an external electronic device through the communication module, wherein the feedback information includes information indicating whether the first image and a second image acquired by the external electronic device correspond to each other;
in response to receiving of the feedback information, generate indication information associated with the second image based on the feedback information; and
transmit, through the communication module, the indication information to the external electronic device.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
identify a plurality of feature points in the first image;
identify the first region of interest based on at least some of the plurality of feature points; and
include at least some of the plurality of feature points in the information corresponding to the first region of interest.

14. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
control a display of the electronic device to display the indication information.

15. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to display a visual effect corresponding to the feedback information in a separate window.

16. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor i
