Abstract

A method for photographing an image performed by a computer device according to an embodiment of the present application includes obtaining a screen division value for photographing an image, classifying a photographing screen into a plurality of sections based on the screen division value, photographing a first image by focusing a first section among the plurality of sections, photographing a second image by focusing a second section among the plurality of sections and transmitting the first image and the second image to a server. According to the method, it is capable of reading whether an image is actually photographed without having a separate ToF module, and applicable to an outdoor environment on which interference from other light rays is strong.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for photographing an image performed by a computer device comprising:
obtaining a screen division value for photographing an image;
classifying a photographing screen into a plurality of sections based on the screen division value;
photographing a first image by focusing a first section among the plurality of sections;
photographing a second image by focusing a second section among the plurality of sections; and
transmitting the first image and the second image to a server,
wherein the first image and the second image are images of photographing the same subject,
wherein the first image and the second image are sequentially photographed according to an order value matching the plurality of sections, and
wherein the screen division value or the order value varies depending on time information and MAC address information of the computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting to the server comprises:
packing the first image and the second image according to a photographed order to transmit the first image and the second image to the server.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting to the server comprises:
transmitting the first image and the second image to the server together with information indicating a photographed order of the first image and the second image.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server checks focused sections of the first image and the second image to determine a type of the first image or the second image.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the server obtains the screen division value, and checks a focused area of the first image and the second image by referring to the screen division value.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the server further obtains the order value matching the plurality of sections, and checks an order of the focused sections by referring to the order value.

7. An apparatus for photographing an image comprising:
a processor;
a memory for loading a computer program executed by the processor; and
a storage for storing the computer program,
wherein the computer program includes instructions for executing operations comprising:
obtaining a screen division value for photographing an image;
classifying a photographing screen into a plurality of sections based on the screen division value;
photographing a first image by focusing a first section among the plurality of sections;
photographing a second image by focusing a second section among the plurality of sections; and
transmitting the first image and the second image to a server,
wherein the first image and the second image are images of photographing the same subject,
wherein the first image and the second image are sequentially photographed according to an order value matching the plurality of sections, and
wherein the screen division value or the order value varies depending on time information and MAC address information of the apparatus.
