Abstract

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a display, a processor and memory. The processor may implement the method, including analyzing, by a processor, a first video to identify any characters included in the first video, displaying one or more icons representing one or more characters identified in the first video via a display, receiving, by input circuitry, a first user input selecting a first icon representing a first character from among the one or more icons, based on the first user input, selecting image frames of the first video that include the first character from among image frames included in the first video, and generating, by the processor, a second video including the selected image frames. A second embodiment includes automatically selecting images from a gallery including one or more characters for generation of a video.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a processor operatively connected to the display; and
a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
analyze a first video to identify any characters included in the first video;
display one or more icons representing one or more characters identified in the first video via the display;
receive a first user input selecting a first icon representing a first character from among the one or more icons;
based on the first user input, select image frames of the first video that include the first character from among image frames included in the first video; and
generate a second video including the selected image frames among which a first image including the first character displayed singly is inserted into a starting portion or an ending portion of the second video.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
receive a second user input selecting a second icon representing a second character from among the one or more icons;
select at least one second image including the second character from among the image frames included in the first video; and
generate the second video by inserting the at least one second image into an interim position within the second video.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
select at least one third image from among the image frames included in the first video, wherein the at least one third image does not include the first character and a location tag of at least one third image matches a location tag of any of the image frames that include the first character,
generate the second video by inserting the at least one third image into an interim position within the second video.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
exclude, from inclusion in generating the second video, at least one image of the first video of which a location tag does not match the location tag of any of the image frames that include the first character.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
select at least one fourth image from among the image frames included in the first video, wherein the at least one fourth image does not include the first character and a shoot date of at least one third image matches a shoot date of any of the image frames that include the first character,
generate the second video by inserting the at least one fourth image into an interim position within the second video.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
exclude, from inclusion in generating the second video, at least one image of the first video of which a shoot date does not match the shoot date of any of the image frames that include the first character.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
select at least one fifth image from among the image frames included in the first video that includes the first character with another character different from the first character,
generate the second video by inserting the at least one fifth image into an interim position within the second video.

8. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a processor operatively connected to the display; and
a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
display, using the display, a screen representing a plurality of images stored in the memory, by executing a gallery application;
receive a first user input requesting generating of a video;
analyze the plurality of images to identify one or more characters depicted in the plurality of images, in response to the first user input;
display one or more icons representing the identified one or more characters using the display;
receive a second user input selecting a first icon representing a first character of the one or more characters;
based on the second user input, select images from among the plurality of images that include the first character; and
generate the video including the selected images among which a first image including the first character displayed singly is inserted into a starting portion or an ending portion of the video.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
receive a second user input selecting a second icon representing a second character from among the one or more icons;
select at least one second image including the second character from among the plurality of images; and
generate the video by inserting the at least one second image into an interim position within the video.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
select at least one third image from among the plurality of images, wherein the at least one third image does not include the first character and a location tag of at least one third image matches a location tag of any of the images that include the first character,
generate the video by inserting the at least one third image into an interim position within the video.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
exclude, from inclusion in generating the video, at least one image of the plurality of images of which a location tag does not match the location tag of any of the images that include the first character.

12. The electronic device of claim 8 , when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
select at least one fourth image from among the plurality of images, wherein the at least one fourth image does not include the first character and a shoot date of at least one third image matches a shoot date of any of the images that include the first character,
generate the video by inserting the at least one fourth image into an interim position within the video.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
exclude, from inclusion in generating the video, at least one image of the plurality of images of which a shoot date does not match the shoot date of any of the images that include the first character.

14. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
select at least one fifth image from among the plurality of images that includes the first character with another character different from the first character,
generate the video by inserting the at least one fifth image into an interim position within the video.

15. A method in an electronic device, comprising:
analyzing, by a processor, a first video to identify any characters included in the first video;
displaying one or more icons representing one or more characters identified in the first video via a display;
receiving, by input circuitry, a first user input selecting a first icon representing a first character from among the one or more icons;
