Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, at least one processor, and at least one memory configured to store instructions that cause the at least one processor to obtain first information from a first still image frame that is included in a first moving image, obtain second information from the first moving image, identify at least one image function based on at least one of the first information or the second information, and control the display to display at least one function execution object for executing the at least one image function. Various other embodiments can be provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An electronic device comprising:
a display; at least one processor; and at least one memory configured to store instructions that cause the at least one processor to:
obtain first information from a first still image frame that is included in a first moving image,
obtain second information from the first moving image,
identify at least one image function based on at least one of the first information or the second information, and
control the display to display at least one function execution object for executing the at least one image function.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the at least one processor to:
control the display to playback the first moving image, and in response to an external input for stopping the playback, stop the playback of the first moving image at the first still image frame and output the first still image frame, obtain the first information from the first still image frame.

3 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one function execution object includes at least one of an image correction execution object, a text input execution object, a graphics interchange format (GIF) generation execution object, an image generation execution object, or an icon recommendation execution object.

4 . The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the at least one processor to:
in response to an external input for selecting the image correction execution object, apply an image correction function to the first still image frame and generate a corrected image frame, and control the display to display the corrected image frame.

5 . The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the at least one processor to:
in response to an external input for selecting the image correction execution object, apply an image correction function to the first moving image and generate a second moving image, and control the display to display the second moving image.

6 . The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the at least one processor to:
control the display to display, in response to an external input for selecting the text input execution object, a text input box, generate, in response to an external input for selecting the GIF generation execution object, a GIF file based on the first still image frame, extract, in response to an external input for selecting the image generation execution object, a plurality of still image frames from the first moving image based on the first information, and generate a second moving image based on the plurality of still image frames, and control the display to display, in response to an external input for selecting the icon recommendation execution object, one or more selectable icons.

7 . The electronic device of claim 3 ,
further comprising a communication circuit, and wherein the instructions are further configured to, in response to an external input for selecting the image generation execution object, cause the at least one processor to:
control the communication circuit to transmit the first still image frame to a server,
control the communication circuit to receive one or more still image frames that are selected by the server based on the first still image frame, and
generate a second moving image based on the one or more still image frames and the first still image frame.

8 . The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the at least one processor to:
identify a non-verbal communication in the first still image frame, identify a plurality of graphical objects corresponding to the non-verbal communication, display the plurality of graphical objects, and generate, in response to an external input onto a first graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects, a second still image frame including the first graphical object.

9 . The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the at least one processor to:
identify that a subject of the first still image frame is performing a continuous action, identify a plurality of image frames from the first moving image corresponding to the continuous action, and generate a second moving images based on the plurality of image frames and the first still image frame, further comprising: determining a quantity of the plurality of image frames based on the second information.

10 . The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the at least one processor to:
identify a person in the first still image frame, identify a plurality of still image frames from the first moving image based on identification of the person, and generate a second moving image based on the plurality of still image frames and the first still image frame.

11 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the at least one processor to, in response to a user input, control the display to display a shortcut function execution object associated with the function execution object.

12 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first information includes at least one of a scene recognition result for the first still image frame, a shooting time of the first still image frame, or a comparison result between the first still image frame and still image frames preceding or following the first still image frame.

13 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second information includes at least one of a shooting time, a shooting location, a playback duration, a shooting format, a file name, a resolution, or a frame rate of the first moving image.

14 . A method for controlling by an electronic device, the method comprising:
obtaining first information from a first still image frame included in a first moving image; obtaining second information from the first moving image; identifying at least one image function based on at least one of the first information or the second information; and displaying at least one function execution object for executing the at least one image function.

15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
displaying playback of the first moving image; and in response to an external input for stopping the playback, stopping the playback of the first moving image and outputting the first still image frame.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the at least one function execution object includes at least one of an image correction execution object, a text input execution object, a graphics interchange format (GIF) generation execution object, an image generation execution object, or an icon recommendation execution object.

17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
in response to an external input for selecting the image correction execution object, applying an image correction function to the first still image frame and generating a corrected still image frame; and displaying the corrected still image frame.

18 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising, in response to an external input for selecting the text input execution object, displaying a text input box on a display.

19 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising, in response to an external input for selecting the GIF generation execution object, generating a GIF file by using a
