METHODS FOR GENERATING VIDEO AND MULTIPLE STILL IMAGES SIMULTANEOUSLY AND APPARATUSES USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for generating multiple still images and a video file in parallel, comprising:
- receiving a first series of images from an image sensor;
providing the first series of images into at least one buffer;
receiving a user input for performing a multi-capture operation;
capturing a second series of images in response to the user input;
providing the first series of images from the buffer for processing along at least two processing paths concurrently with the capturing of the second series of images;
processing the second series of images by the two processing paths; and
storing the processed first series of images and the processed second series of images into a memory unit,wherein at least one of the processing paths processes only a predetermined portion of the first series of images and the second series of images, and images processed by each of the two processing paths are stored, respectively.

Abstract
An embodiment of a method for generating multiple still images and a video file in parallel is disclosed. A first series of images from an image sensor is provided to at least one buffer. A second series of images are captured in response to reception of a user input for performing a multi-capture operation. The process further provides the first series of images from the buffer for processing along at least two processing paths concurrently with the capturing of the second series of images. The two processing paths then process the second series of images, and the processed first series of images and second series of images are stored into a memory unit. At least one of the processing paths processes only a predetermined portion of the first series of images and the second series of images. Images processed by each of the two processing paths are stored, respectively.

9. A method for generating video file and burst shooting images concurrently, comprising:
-
capturing a plurality of first consecutive images by an image sensor; providing the first consecutive images in a first resolution to a video processing module to generate a video file and providing a first portion of the first consecutive images in a second resolution to a camera processing module to generate burst shooting images concurrently in parallel; receiving a user input for capturing video and burst shooting images; capturing a plurality of second consecutive images by the image sensor; providing the second consecutive images in the first resolution to the video processing module to generate the video file, and providing a second portion of the second consecutive images in the second resolution to the camera processing module to generate the burst shooting images concurrently in parallel; and storing the video file and the burst shooting images together in a memory unit, wherein the first resolution is lower than or equal to the second resolution. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
