Device and method for displaying a thumbnail picture in a mobile communication terminal with a camera
First Claim
1. A device for displaying an image in a mobile communication terminal, comprising:
- a camera for capturing an object'"'"'s image and generating image data;
a display data processor for processing the image data generated by the camera on the basis of a display standard;
an image codec for compressing the image data processed by the display data processor and generating image data of at least one still picture in a still-picture capture mode;
a thumbnail generator for generating image data of at least one thumbnail picture of a set size from the image data processed by the display data processor in the still-picture capture mode;
a user data generator for generating user data according to a display mode;
a display unit for displaying the image data on a first display area and displaying the user data on a second display area; and
a controller for cutting off a path of the image data by controlling the display data processor in the still-picture capture mode, driving the image codec and the thumbnail generator such that the image data displayed on the first display area can be compressed, storing the image data compressed by the image codec as the still picture, and storing the image data generated by the thumbnail generator as the thumbnail picture.

Abstract
A device and method for displaying an image in a mobile communication terminal. A camera captures an object'"'"'s image and generates image data. A display data processor processes the image data generated by the camera on the basis of a display standard. An image codec compresses the image data processed by the display data processor and generates image data of at least one still picture in a still-picture capture mode. A thumbnail generator generates image data of at least one thumbnail picture of a set size from the image data processed by the display data processor in the still-picture capture mode. A user data generator generates user data according to a display mode. A display unit displays the image data on a first display area and displaying the user data on a second display area. A controller cuts off a path of the image data by controlling the display data processor in the still-picture capture mode, drives the image codec and the thumbnail generator such that the image data displayed on the first display area can be compressed, stores the image data compressed by the image codec as the still picture, and stores the image data generated by the thumbnail generator as the thumbnail picture.
