Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a device and method for providing a graphic effect corresponding to configuration information of an object displayed on a display of an electronic device. The electronic device includes a display, a memory, and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The at least one processor is configured to control the display to display an image, detect at least one object from the image, and control the display to display detection information corresponding to the at least one object based on configuration information of the at least one object.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
at least one processor;
a communication interface coupled to the at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, stores instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
control the display to display an image;
detect at least one object from the image;
divide a plurality of sub-objects from the at least one object detected from the image;
control the communication interface to transmit information of the plurality of sub-objects to servers corresponding to the sub-objects;
receive detailed information of the plurality of sub-objects from the servers through the communication interface;
recognize the at least one object detected from the image based on the detailed information of the plurality of sub-objects when the detailed information of the plurality of sub-objects correspond to each other;
control the display to display detection information of the at least one object detected from the image close to the at least one object, using at least one graphic variable corresponding to configuration information of the at least one object,
detect the at least one graphic variable corresponding to an outline of the at least one object based on a curvature of the outline of the at least one object; and
control the display to display the detection information showing a change in the curvature of the outline of the at least one object using the at least one graphic variable corresponding to the outline.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information of the at least one object includes at least one of a kind, a shape, or a color of the at least one object.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the at least one processor to:
determine graphic variables corresponding to configuration information of the plurality of sub-objects; and
control the display to display detection information of the plurality of sub-objects using the graphic variables corresponding to the configuration information of the plurality of sub-objects.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the graphic variables include at least one of a form, a color, a contrast, a definition, or a size of detection information.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the display is further configured to display the detection information of the at least one object close to the outline of the at least one object.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the at least one processor to:
select important sub-objects from the plurality of sub-objects;
control the communication interface to transmit the important sub-objects to a server;
receive detailed information of the important sub-objects from the server through the communication interface; and
recognize the at least one object detected from the image based on the detailed information of the important sub-objects.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the at least one processor to:
recognize objects when detecting a plurality of objects from the image;
detect graphic variables corresponding to recognition statuses of the objects; and
control the display to display detection information of the objects using the graphic variables corresponding to the recognition statuses of the objects.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a camera, wherein the image includes an image acquired through the camera.

9. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
displaying an image on a display electrically connected with the electronic device;
detecting at least one object from the image;
dividing a plurality of sub-objects from the at least one object detected from the image;
transmitting information of the plurality of sub-objects to servers corresponding to the sub-objects;
receiving detailed information of the plurality of sub-objects from the servers;
recognizing the at least one object detected from the image based on the detailed information of the plurality of sub-objects when the detailed information of the plurality of sub-objects correspond to each other; and
displaying detection information of the at least one object detected from the image close to the at least one object, using at least one graphic variable corresponding to configuration information of the at least one object,
wherein displaying the detection information includes:
detecting the at least one graphic variable corresponding to an outline of the at least one object based on a curvature of the outline of the at least one object; and
displaying the detection information showing a change in the curvature of the outline of the at least one object using the at least one graphic variable corresponding to the outline.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the configuration information of the at least one object includes at least one of a kind, a shape, or a color of the at least one object.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein displaying the detection information includes:
determining graphic variables corresponding to configuration information of the plurality of sub-objects; and
displaying detection information of the plurality of sub-objects using the graphic variables corresponding to the configuration information of the plurality of sub-objects.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the graphic variables include at least one of a form, a color, a contrast, a definition, or a size of detection information.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein displaying the detection information includes:
displaying the detection information of the at least one object close to the outline of the object.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein detecting the at least one object includes:
selecting important sub-objects from the plurality of sub-objects;
transmitting the important sub-objects to a server;
receiving detailed information of the important sub-objects from the server; and
recognizing the at least one object detected from the image based on the detailed information of the important sub-objects.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
detecting graphic variables corresponding to recognition statuses of objects when a plurality of objects is detected from the image; and
displaying detection information of the plurality of objects using the graphic variables corresponding to the recognition statuses of the objects.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein displaying the image includes:
displaying an image acquired through a camera electrically connected with the electronic device.
