Mobile terminal and code recognition method thereof
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for recognizing a recognition code in a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- detecting at least a portion of a recognition code from an image including the recognition code using a code recognition application;
determining a code rotation angle of the recognition code;
determining whether a User Interface (UI) rotation angle of the code recognition application is equal to the code rotation angle of the recognition code;
if the UI rotation angle is not equal to the code rotation angle, rotating a UI of the code recognition application so that the UI rotation angle of the code recognition application is equal to the code rotation angle; and
extracting the recognition code or a text from the image based on the code rotation angle of the recognition code.

Abstract
A code recognition method for adjusting a User Interface (UI) rotation angle of a code recognition application depending on the direction of a recognition code or text entered through a camera is provided. The code recognition method includes detecting at least a portion of the recognition code from an image including the recognition code; determining a code rotation angle of the recognition code; and extracting the recognition code or a text from the image including the recognition code based on the code rotation angle of the recognition code.

6. An electronic device for recognizing a recognition code, the electronic device comprising:
-
a camera configured to receive an image including the recognition code; and a processor configured to; detect at least a portion of the recognition code from the image including the recognition code using a code recognition application, determine whether a User interface (UI) rotation angle of the code recognition application is coincident with a code rotation angle of the recognition code, if the UI rotation angle is not coincident with the code rotation angle, rotate a UI of the code recognition application so that the UI rotation angle of the code recognition application is coincident with the code rotation angle, and extract the recognition code or a text from the image including the recognition code based on the code rotation angle of the recognition code. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
