1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a plurality of cameras, each of the plurality of cameras configured to provide a synchronous signal during an inactive time period and a data image signal during an active time period, wherein the active time period during which one of the plurality of cameras provides the data image signal occurs during the inactive time period of the other of the plurality of cameras;
an image processor configured to receive and process the synchronous signal and the data image signal; and
a display configured to display the data image signal from each of the plurality of cameras simultaneously,wherein at least one of the plurality of cameras is configured for photographing a first object and at least another of the plurality of cameras is configured for photographing a second object different from the first object,wherein the synchronous signal is a vertical synchronous signal configured to go through the active time period and the inactive time period on a frame-by-frame basis, andwherein each of the plurality of cameras is further configured to output the synchronous signal and the data image signal to the image processor through a same single signal line integrating separate signal lines extended from each of the plurality of cameras.

Abstract
A mobile terminal including a plurality of cameras and a method of processing images acquired in a plurality of cameras is provided. The image processing method includes simultaneously operating a plurality of cameras, outputting a synchronous signal during an inactive time period and a data image signal during an active time period, wherein the active time period during which one camera of the plurality of cameras provides the data image signal occurs during the inactive time period of the other camera or cameras of the plurality of cameras.

9. A method for processing image data in a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
simultaneously operating a plurality of cameras; outputting a synchronous signal during an inactive time period and a data image signal during an active time period, wherein the active time period during which one of the plurality of cameras outputs the data image signal occurs during the inactive time period of the other of the plurality of cameras; receiving and processing the synchronous signal and the data image signal output from the one of the plurality of cameras; and displaying the data image signal from each of the plurality of cameras on a display simultaneously, wherein at least one of the plurality of cameras is configured for photographing a first object and another of the plurality of cameras is configured for photographing a second object different from the first object, wherein the synchronous signal is a vertical synchronous signal configured to go through the active time period and the inactive time period on a frame-by-frame basis, and wherein each of the plurality of cameras output the synchronous signal and the data image signal to the image processor through a same single signal line by integrating signal lines extending from the plurality of cameras. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
