METHOD FOR PROVIDING MAP INFORMATION AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a camera configured to obtain an image;
a location information sensor configured to obtain current location information of the electronic device;
a direction information sensor configured to obtain direction information including a direction in which the camera is facing when it obtains the image;
a memory configured to store the obtained current location information; and
a processor configured to operatively connect with the location information sensor, the direction information sensor, and the memory and configured to;
obtain map information associated with the current location; and
arrange and display an orientation of the obtained map information, wherein the orientation corresponds to the obtained direction information by outputting the obtained map information together with a live video obtained by the camera.

Abstract
An electronic device is provided and includes a camera configured to obtain an image, and a location information sensor configured to obtain (or sense) a current location of the electronic device. The electronic device further includes a direction information sensor configured to obtain (or sense) direction information about a direction in which the camera obtains the image and a memory configured to store information about the current location. A processor configured to operatively connect with the location information sensor, the direction information sensor, and the memory, may be further configured to obtain map information corresponding to the current location and arrange and display an orientation of the obtained map information with an orientation corresponding to the direction information. The processor may be configured to output the obtained map information together with a live video obtained by the camera.
