Abstract

An electronic device includes a screen of a display; an image sensor configured to capture image data having at least one object; and a filter recommendation control module configured to acquire the image data captured by the image sensor, extract at least one filter data based on the at least one object of the image data, and display the at least one or more filter data on the screen in response to request information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An electronic device comprising:
a screen of a display; an image sensor configured to capture image data having at least one object; and a filter recommendation control module configured to acquire the image data captured by the image sensor, extract at least one filter data based on the at least one object of the image data, and display the at least one filter data on the screen in response to request information.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the image data includes at least one of shooting information and object information,
wherein the shooting information includes at least one of a shooting location, a shooting weather, a shooting date, and a shooting time; wherein the object information includes at least one of a type of the at least one object, a location of the at least one object, a proportion of the at least one object, and a sharpness of the at least one object; and wherein the object information is configured to be present to correspond to a number of the at least one object of the image data.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the filter recommendation control module is further configured to extract the at least one object from the image data by defining an area.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the filter recommendation control module is further configured to extract a shooting location based on shooting information of the image data, and extract at least one filter data corresponding to at least one of a shooting location and classification information of the at least one object, from a stored filter database (DB),
wherein the filter recommendation control module is further configured to determine the classification information of the at least one object for each of at least one object of the image data depending on at least one of a priority of a location of the at least one object, a proportion of the at least one object, and a sharpness of the at least one object.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the filter recommendation control module is further configured to, if at least one filter data is selected while displaying at least one filter data, apply a filter function corresponding to the at least one filter data to each of the at least one object, and update the at least one filter data of the at least one object corresponding to the selected at least one filter data.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the filter recommendation control module is further configured to extract at least one of shooting information and object information from the image data as filter data request information, transmit the extracted filter data request information to another electronic device, provide at least one filter data received from another electronic device as at least one filter information for each of the at least one object included in the image data, and transmit filter data of the at least one object corresponding to selected filter data to another electronic device.

7 . An electronic device comprising:
a storage module storing at least one filter data corresponding to filter data request information including at least one of shooting information and object information; and a filter recommendation control module configured to, if the filter data request information is received from another electronic device, extract the at least one filter data based on the at least one of shooting information and object information included in the at least one filter data, and transmit the extracted at least one filter data to another electronic device.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , further comprising an image sensor configured to capture image data including at least one object, and wherein the filter recommendation control module is further configured to:
extract classification information for the at least one object included in the image data based on the object information; extract a shooting location based on the shooting information; and extract at least one filter data corresponding to at least one of a shooting location and classification information of the at least one object, from a stored filter database (DB).

9 . The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the filter recommendation control module is further configured to determine classification information of each of the at least one object included in the image data depending on at least one of a priority of a location of the at least one object, a proportion of the at least one object, and a sharpness of the at least one object.

10 . The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the filter recommendation control module is further configured to, if selected filter data is received from another electronic device, update filter data of the at least one object corresponding to the selected filter data.

11 . A method for providing a filter in an electronic device having a screen of a display and an image sensor configured to capture an image data including at least one object, the method comprising:
acquiring the image data captured by an image sensor; extracting at least one filter data based on the at least one object of the image data; and displaying the at least one filter data on the screen in response to request information.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the image data includes at least one of shooting information and object information,
wherein the shooting information includes at least one of a shooting location, a shooting weather, a shooting date, and a shooting time, wherein the object information includes at least one of a type of the at least one object, a location of the at least one object, a proportion of the at least one object, and a sharpness of the at least one object; and wherein the object information is configured to be present to correspond to the number of at least one object included in the image data.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the extracting at least one filter data comprises extracting the at least one object from the image data by defining an area.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the image data includes shooting information, wherein the extracting at least one filter data comprises:
extracting a shooting location based on the shooting information of the image data; and extracting at least one filter data corresponding to at least one of a shooting location and classification information of the at least one object, from a stored filter database (DB), wherein the extracting at least one filter data corresponding to classification information comprises determining the classification information of each of the at least one object included in the image data depending on at least one of a priority of a location of the at least one object, a proportion of the at least one object, and a sharpness of the at least one object.

15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising, if at least one filter data is selected while displaying at least one filter data, applying a filter function corresponding to at least one filter data to each of the at least one object, and updating filter data of an object corresponding to the selected at least one filter data.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the image data further includes at least one of shooting information and object information, the method further comprising:
extracting at least one of the shooting information and the object information from the image data as filter data request information and transmitting the extracted filter data request information to another electronic device; providing at least
