Patent Images
1. An apparatus for processing a digital image, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller;
a decoder that decodes a high-resolution image from image information and outputs the decoded high-resolution image to a display;
a resizer that resizes a thumbnail image according to a size and resolution of the display and outputs the resized thumbnail image to the display; and
the display that displays the resized thumbnail image, then replaces the thumbnail image with the decoded high-resolution image received from the decoder,wherein, when replacing the thumbnail image, the thumbnail image and high-resolution image are divided into corresponding blocks, and one block of the thumbnail image is sequentially replaced with the corresponding block of the decoded high-resolution image.
