Apparatus and method for image capture using image stored in camera
First Claim
1. A method for capturing an image using an image stored in a camera, the method comprising:
- receiving images from an image sensor;
converting, at each one of a plurality of first time points separated by a first predetermined interval, one of the received images corresponding to the one of the first time points into a preview image, and displaying each preview image on a display;
generating, at each one of a plurality of second time points separated by a second predetermined interval having a different length than the first predetermined interval, a high-resolution image from one of the received images corresponding to the one of the second time points, each high-resolution image having a higher resolution than each preview image;
providing the generated high-resolution images sequentially to a first buffer and a second buffer;
temporarily storing the sequentially provided high-resolution images sequentially in the first buffer and the second buffer; and
storing, in a separate area of memory, in response to an input of an image capturing signal, a high-resolution image sequentially temporarily stored in the first buffer and the second buffer.

Abstract
An apparatus for capturing an image using an image stored in a camera includes a lens system for optically receiving an image, an image signal processor for converting the received image into a preview image and generating a first-resolution image using the received image at predetermined periods, a first buffer for receiving the first-resolution image from the image signal processor and temporarily storing the received first-resolution image, a display for displaying the preview image received from the image signal processor and the first-resolution image received from the first buffer, and a controller for controlling the image signal processor to display the first-resolution image temporarily stored in the first buffer on the display upon receiving an image capturing signal.

7. An apparatus for capturing an image using an image stored in a camera, the apparatus comprising:
-
a lens system for optically receiving images; an image signal processor for converting, at each one of a plurality of first time points separated by a first predetermined interval, one of the received images corresponding to the one of the first time points into a preview image, generating, at each one of a plurality of second time points separated by a second predetermined interval having a different length than the first predetermined interval, a high-resolution image from one of the received images corresponding to the one of the second time points, each high-resolution image having a higher resolution than each preview image, and providing generated the high-resolution images sequentially to a first buffer and a second buffer; the first buffer for temporarily storing, for each of the high-resolution images provided to the first buffer, the sequentially provided high-resolution image; the second buffer for temporarily storing, for each of the high-resolution images provided to the second buffer, the sequentially provided high-resolution image; a display for displaying each of the preview images; and a controller for controlling storing, in response to an input of an image capturing signal, a high-resolution image sequentially temporarily stored in the first buffer and the second buffer into a separate area of memory. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
