Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module, a memory, a display, and a processor, wherein the processor may confirm a user input related to selection of an image corrected by using a first image processing scheme, transmit attribute information related to the first image processing scheme to an external electronic device through the communication module, based on the user input, receive, from the external electronic device through the communication module, the image corrected by using a second image processing scheme selected based on the attribute information in the external electronic device, and display, through the display, the image corrected by using the second image processing scheme.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication module;
a memory;
a display; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
confirm a user input related to a selection of a first image corrected by using a first image processing scheme,
in response to the user input, request from an external electronic device through the communication module, second attribute information related to a second image processing scheme,
receive, from the external electronic device through the communication module, the second attribute information,
determine a difference between the first and second image processing schemes based on a comparison between attribute information related to the first image processing scheme and the second attribute information,
transmit, to the external electronic device through the communication module, the attribute information related to the first image processing scheme when the difference meets a specified condition,
receive, from the external electronic device through the communication module, a second image corrected by using the second image processing scheme selected based on the attribute information related to the first image processing scheme in the external electronic device, the received second image corresponding to the selected first image, and
display, through the display, a third image corresponding to the selected first image,

wherein the third image is an image corrected based on at least one of the first image processing scheme or the second image processing scheme.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 ,
wherein the attribute information comprises a type of the processor, an identifier of the selected first image, or metadata on the first image corrected by using the first image processing scheme, and
wherein the processor is further configured to transmit the attribute information to the external electronic device to determine the second image processing scheme based at least on the type of the processor, the identifier of the selected first image, or the metadata on the first image corrected by using the first image processing scheme.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 ,
wherein, to receive the second image corrected by using the second image processing scheme, the processor is further configured to receive a segment of a plurality of segments of the second image generated by the second image processing scheme, and
wherein, to display the third image, the processor is further configured to display an image corresponding to the selected first image corrected based on the received segment and the first image corrected by using the first image processing scheme.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to receive a difference image between the first image corrected by using the first image processing scheme and the second image corrected by using the second image processing scheme from the external electronic device through the communication module, and
wherein, to display the third image, the processor is further configured to display an image corresponding to the selected first image corrected based on the first image corrected by using the first image processing scheme and the difference image.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether the first image corrected by using the first image processing scheme is stored in the memory in response to the user input, and
wherein, to display the third image, the processor is further configured to:
display the first image corrected by using the first image processing scheme when the first image corrected by using the first image processing scheme is stored in the memory, and
display an effect related to a correction through the display when the second image corrected by using the second image processing scheme is received.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
request the selected first image from the external electronic device through the communication module when the first image corrected by using the first image processing scheme is not stored in the memory, and
display, through the display, a screen indicating that the selected first image does not exist when a message indicating that the selected first image does not exist is received from the external electronic device.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 ,
wherein the external electronic device comprises a cloud server, and
wherein the processor is further configured to:
obtain a raw image of the selected first image through an image sensor of the electronic device, and
transmit the raw image to the cloud server through the communication module.

8. An electronic device comprising:
a communication module;
a memory;
a display; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
confirm an input related to selection of an image corrected by using a first image processing scheme,
in response to the input, request from an external electronic device through the communication module, attribute information related to a second image processing scheme,
receive, from the external electronic device through the communication module, the attribute information related to the second image processing scheme,
transmit, to the external electronic device through the communication module, attribute information related to the first image processing scheme, to determine whether the external electronic device is capable of correcting, by using the second image processing scheme at least partially different from the first image processing scheme, an original image corresponding to the image corrected by using the first image processing scheme, when the attribute information related to the first image processing scheme is at least partially different from the attribute information related to the second image processing scheme,
receive, from the external electronic device through the communication module, at least a part of the original image corrected by using the second image processing scheme, based on the determination that the external electronic device is capable of correcting the original image by using the second image processing scheme, and
display, through the display, the image corrected by using the second image processing scheme.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the attribute information comprises a type of the processor, an identifier of the original image, or metadata on the original image.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive the image corrected by using the second image processing scheme through the communication module for each segmented image area, and
display, through the display, the image corrected by using the second image processing scheme for each segmented image area.

11. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive a difference image between the images corrected by using the first and second image processing schemes from the external electronic device through the communication module, and
display, through the display, the image corrected by using the first image processing scheme and an image corrected by using the difference image.

12. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine whether the image corrected by the using the first image processing scheme is stored in the memory in response to a user input,
display the image corrected by using the first image processing scheme when the image corrected by using the first image processing
