Abstract

Provided are image processing methods and apparatuses for playing/recording a moving picture using caption search, which are capable of easily playing and recording the moving picture from a desired location by searching through captions of the moving picture. The method searches for a caption corresponding to a search key word among captions of the moving picture based on the search key word, displays a search-result list, and records at least one item included in the displayed search-result list according to a selected recording mode. Accordingly, a desired location of the moving picture can be played and/or recorded through caption search. Because the moving picture can be played from a predetermined location using caption search and a user'"'"'s voice can be recorded and output, efficient foreign-language learning may be possible.

Claims

1. A method of recording a moving picture using a caption search in a portable device, the method comprising:

searching, using the portable device, for a caption corresponding to a search key word among captions of the moving picture based on the search key word;

displaying, using the portable device, search-result list; and

recording, using the portable device, at least one item included in the displayed search-result list according to a selected recording mode, wherein the recording, using the portable device, at least one item included in the displayed search-result list according to a selected recording mode includes recording all items included in the search-result list while playing the all items and recording all the items included in the search-result list as one moving-picture file, and mixing the caption included in each item of the search-result list with the one moving-picture file corresponding to the caption when an event instructing full play and record occurs,

wherein the displaying search-result list includes displaying menu buttons, each of the menu buttons configured to select a recording mode among a plurality of recording modes, respectively, the recording mode indicating a way of recording at least one search result included in the search-result list,

wherein the recording at least one item included in the displayed search-result list according to a selected recording mode includes recording by the portable device, when an event instructing a play and a record occurs, a selected one of the items included in the search-result list while playing the selected item,

wherein the recording modes include play or record all items included in the search-result list, play and record all items included in the search-result list, play or record an item in the search-result list, and play and record an item included in the search-result list.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

storing, using the portable device, at least one moving picture recorded according to the selected recording mode on a storage device; and

displaying, using the display unit, a list of the stored at least one moving picture on a display unit.

3. An image processing apparatus having a function of recording a moving picture using caption search, the apparatus comprising:

a controller configured to search for a caption corresponding to a search key word among captions of the moving picture based on the search key word, configured to display a search-result list, and configured to record at least one item included in the displayed search-result list according to a selected recording mode, wherein the controller mixes, when the event instructing the full play and the record occurs, the caption included in each item of the search-result list with the moving picture corresponding to the caption; and

a storage unit configured to store the recorded at least one item,

wherein the controller records, when an event instructing a full play and a record occurs, all items included in the search-result list as one moving-picture file while playing the items,

wherein the controller is configured to display menu buttons, each of the menu buttons configured to select a recording mode among a plurality of recording modes, respectively, the recording mode indicating a way of recording at least one search result included in the search-result list,

wherein the controller records, when an event instructing to play a selected item and to record the selected item occurs, a selected item of the items included in the search-result list while playing the selected item,

wherein the recording modes include play or record all items included in the search-result list, play and record all items included in the search-result list, play or record an item in the search-result list, and play and record an item included in the search-result list.
