Abstract

An image display method is provided. The image display method includes displaying a camera preview screen that provides an image of a subject in real time, capturing one or more images by capturing the camera preview screen, and displaying a photo reel on the camera preview screen, the photo reel being generated by arranging thumbnails of the captured one or more images in a row.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An image display method comprising:
recognizing, by an image display device, a first object included in a first image, the first image being one of a newly-captured image or an image stored in a memory of the image display device;
displaying, by the image display device, a first icon of the first object;
receiving, by the image display device, a touch input on the first icon; and
displaying, by the image display device, at least one thumbnail of at least one second image stored in the memory of the image display device based on the received touch input on the first icon, the at least one second image being different from the first image,
wherein the at least one second image includes the first object corresponding to the first icon on which the touch input is received.

2. The image display method of claim 1 , further comprising:
recognizing, by the image display device, a second object included in the first image or included in the at least one thumbnail of the at least one second image;
displaying, by the image display device, a second icon corresponding to the second object; and
receiving, by the image display device, a touch input related to the second icon.

3. The image display method of claim 2 , further comprising:
displaying, by the image display device, at least one thumbnail of at least one third image stored in the memory of the image display device based on the received touch input related to the second icon, the at least one third image including the second object and the first object,
when the touch input related to the second icon relates to an addition of the at least one image including the second object and the first object.

4. The image display method of claim 3 , wherein an indication representing an addition of images including the second object and the first object is displayed with the second icon on the image display device.

5. The image display method of claim 4 , wherein the touch input related to the second icon is received on the indication representing the addition of images including the second object and the first object.

6. The image display method of claim 2 , further comprising:
removing, from a display of the image display device, at least one thumbnail of at least one fourth image including the second object of the at least one thumbnail of at least one second image, the at least one fourth image being stored in the memory of the image display device,
when the touch input related to the second icon relates to a removal of images including the second object.

7. The image display method of claim 6 , wherein an indication representing the removal of the images including the second object is displayed on the display of the image display device.

8. The image display method of claim 7 , wherein the touch input related to the second icon is received on the indication representing the removal of the images including the second object.

9. An image display apparatus comprising:
a camera configured to capture a group of images;
a memory configured to store the group of images;
a processor configured to recognize a first object included in a first image, the first image being one of a newly-captured image or an image stored in the memory;
a display configured to display a first icon of the first object; and
an input interface configured to receive a touch input on the first icon,
wherein the display is further configured to display at least one thumbnail of at least one second image stored in the memory based on the received touch input on the first icon, the at least one second image being different from the first image, and
wherein the at least one second image includes the first object corresponding to the first icon on which the touch input is received.

10. The image display apparatus of claim 9 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to recognize a second object included in the first image or included in the at least one thumbnail of the at least one second image,
wherein the display is further configured to display a second icon corresponding to the second object, and
wherein the input interface is further configured to receive a touch input related to the second icon.

11. The image display apparatus of claim 10 ,
wherein the display is further configured to display at least one thumbnail of at least one third image stored in the memory based on the received touch input related to the second icon, the at least one third image including the second object and the first object,
when the touch input related to the second icon relates to an addition of images including the second object and the first object.

12. The image display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the display is further configured to display an indication representing the addition of images including the second object and the first object.

13. The image display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the touch input related to the second icon is received on the indication representing the addition of images including the second object and the first object.

14. The image display apparatus of claim 11 ,
wherein the display is further configured to remove at least one thumbnail of at least one fourth image including the second object of the at least one thumbnail of at least one second image, the at least one fourth image being stored in the memory,
when the touch input related to the second icon relates to a removal of images including the second object.

15. The image display apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the display is further configured to display an indication representing the removal of the images including the second object.

16. The image display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the touch input related to the second icon is received on the indication representing the removal of the images including the second object.
