Abstract

An electronic device and a method of controlling the same are provided. The electronic device may include a display; a communication circuit; a camera; and at least one processor configured to: based on an execution of a compensation application for performing compensation on an image of a display device, control the display to output guide information including an interface indicating the electronic device to move to meet an image capturing condition for capturing an image of a partial area of a display device connected through the communication circuit; and based on the compensation of the image of the display device being completed, output a first image of the display device before the compensation and a second image of the display device after the compensation.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a communication circuit;
a camera; and
at least one processor configured to:
based on an execution of a compensation application for performing compensation on an image of a display device, control the display to output guide information including an interface indicating the electronic device to move to meet an image capturing condition for capturing an image of a partial area of a display device connected through the communication circuit; and
based on the compensation of the image of the display device being completed, output a first image of the display device before the compensation and a second image of the display device after the compensation.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
based on the compensation application being executed, output a plurality of image compensation modes for compensating the image of the display device; and
based on receiving a command for selecting one of the plurality of image compensation modes, control the display to output the guide information including the interface indicating a direction in which the electronic device needs to move to meet the image capturing condition for image capturing the partial area of the display device.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
based on the image capturing condition being met in a first image compensation mode among the plurality of image compensation modes, control the display to display a progress of performing a first image compensation method corresponding to the first image compensation mode on the display device during a first image compensation time;
based on the image capturing condition being met in a second image compensation mode among the plurality of image compensation modes, control the display to display a progress of performing a second image compensation method corresponding to the second image compensation mode on the display device during a second image compensation time; and
based on the image capturing condition being met in a third image compensation mode among the plurality of image compensation modes, control the display to display a progress of performing a third image compensation method corresponding to the third image compensation mode on the display device during a third image compensation time,
wherein the first image compensation time, the second image compensation time, and the third image compensation time are different, and
wherein each of the first image compensation method, the second image compensation method, and the third image compensation method includes at least one image quality adjustment component for performing the compensation of the image of the display device.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the first image compensation method, the second image compensation method, and the third image compensation method, each include an image adjustment component among the at least one image adjustment component that is different from each other.

5. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
based on the image capturing condition being met in the first image compensation mode, obtain a third image including the partial area of the display device using the camera; and
control the display to display the progress of performing the compensation of the image of the display device based on the third image,
wherein the partial area of the display device is configured to output a specific image quality pattern corresponding to an image adjustment component included in the first image compensation method.

6. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
based on the image capturing condition being met in the second image compensation mode, obtain a fourth image including the partial area of the display device using the camera; and
control the display to display the progress of performing the compensation of the image of the display device based on the fourth image,
wherein the partial area of the display device is configured to output a specific image quality pattern corresponding to an image adjustment component included in the second image compensation method.

7. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
based on the image capturing condition being met in the third image compensation mode, obtain a fifth image including the partial area of the display device using the camera; and
control the display to display the progress of performing the compensation of the image of the display device, based on the fifth image, wherein the partial area of the display device is configured to output a specific image quality pattern corresponding to an image adjustment component included in the third image compensation method.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the partial area of the display device includes a specific point for compensating the image of the display device.

9. A method for operating an electronic device including a display and a camera, the method comprising:
based on an execution of a compensation application for performing compensation on an image of a display device, outputting, on the display, guide information including an interface indicating the electronic device to move to meet an image capturing condition for capturing an image of a partial area of a display device connected through a communication circuit of the electronic device; and
based on the compensation of the image of the display device being completed, outputting a first image of the display device before the compensation and a second image of the display device after the compensation.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the outputting the guide information comprises:
based on the compensation application being executed, outputting a plurality of image compensation modes for compensating the image of the display device; and
based on receiving a command for selecting one of the plurality of image compensation modes, controlling the display to output the guide information including the interface indicating a direction in which the electronic device needs to move to meet the image capturing condition for capturing the partial area of the display device.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
based on the image capturing condition being met in a first image compensation mode among the plurality of image compensation modes, controlling the display to display a progress of performing a first image compensation method corresponding to the first image compensation mode on the display device during a first image compensation time;
based on the image capturing condition being met in a second image compensation mode among the plurality of image compensation modes, controlling the display to display a progress of performing a second image compensation method corresponding to the second image compensation mode on the display device during a second image compensation time; and
based on the image capturing condition being met in a third image compensation mode among the plurality of image compensation modes, controlling the display to display a progress of performing a third image compensation method corresponding to the third image compensation mode during a third image compensation time,
wherein the first image compensation time, the second image compensation time, and the third image compensation time are different, and
wherein each of the first image compensation method, the second image compensation method, and the third
