Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing a user interface according to a size of a template edit frame are provided. The method includes: selecting a template based on a user interface; detecting a subject from an image to fit the selected template to the subject; determining a size of an edit frame of the fitted template based on whether at least a portion of the fitted template strays from a display area; and displaying the fitted template and an edit frame having a size that is determined not to stray from the display area.

Claims

1. A method of providing a user interface according to a size of a template edit frame, the method comprising:

selecting a template based on a user interface;

detecting a subject from an image to fit the selected template to the subject;

determining a size of an edit frame of the fitted template based on whether at least a portion of the fitted template strays from a display area; and

displaying the fitted template and an edit frame having a size that is determined not to stray from the display area.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining of the size of the edit frame of the fitted template comprises:

generating a first edit frame corresponding to the fitted template;

generating a second edit frame corresponding to the detected subject; and

if the first edit frame is in the display area, determining to display the first edit frame, and if at least a portion of the first edit frame is not in the display area, determining to display the second edit frame.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the template edit frame comprises an object that receives an input of performing at least one of a deletion, a position change, a size change, an x-axis rotation, a y-axis rotation, and a z-axis rotation of the template.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the determining of the size of the edit frame comprises:

determining whether the object is in the display area.

5. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

editing the template based on the user interface.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the template is rotated based on a central point of the edit frame having the determined size to be edited.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein if an input of dragging the first edit frame is received, the template is moved regardless of the determined size of the edit frame.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the subject is a face of a person.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the fitting of the template comprises:

changing a size of the template based on a size of the subject.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the fitting of the template comprises:

moving a position of the template based on a position of the subject.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the fitting of the template comprises:

extracting yaw, pitch, and roll values of the subject; and

rotating the selected template by the extracted yaw, pitch, and roll values.

20. A computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for embodying the method of claim 1.

12. An apparatus for providing a user interface according to a size of a template edit frame, the apparatus comprising:

a template selector that selects a template based on a user interface;

a template fitter that detects a subject from an image to fit the selected template to the subject;

an edit frame size determiner which determines a size of an edit frame of the fitted template based on that at least a portion of the fitted template strays from a display area; and

a display unit that displays the fitted template and the edit frame having the determined size.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the edit frame size determiner comprises:

a first frame generator that generates a first edit frame corresponding to the fitted template; and

a second frame generator that generates a second edit frame corresponding to the subject,

wherein if the first edit frame is in the display area, the first edit frame is determined to be displayed, and if at least a portion of the first edit frame is not in the display area, the second edit frame is determined to be displayed.

14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the template edit frame comprises an object that receives an input of performing at least one of a deletion, a position change, a size change, an x-axis rotation, a y-axis rotation, and a z-axis rotation of the template.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the edit frame size determiner determines whether the object is in the display area to determine a size of an edit frame of the fitted template.

16. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising:

a template editor that edits the template based on user input.

17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the template editor rotates the template based on a central point of the edit frame having the determined size when receiving a signal for rotating the template based on user input.

18. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein if an input of dragging the first edit frame is received, the template editor moves the template.

19. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the subject is a face of a person.
