1. An electronic device comprising:
- a first storage unit configured to store digital image data; and
a processor configured to;
recognize an object in first image data using reference image data,receive a second object related to the first object in the first image data from a second storage unit and store the first and second objects in the first storage unit, anduse one or more of the first and second objects stored in the first storage unit to recognize an object in second image data,wherein the first storage unit is loaded with the reference image data based on a load condition of the first storage unit, andwherein the processor is further configured to;
determine whether the load condition of the first storage unit is based on at least one of a current location and a current time, andload the first storage unit with the reference image data according to the determination.

7. An electronic device comprising:
-
a processor configured to; process first image data, send the first image data to an external electronic device configured to have a first database, recognize a first object in the first image data, using reference image data, and send information indicating a second database smaller than the first database to the external electronic device, wherein the second database is loaded with the reference image data according to a load condition of the second database, and wherein the processor is further configured to; determine whether the load condition of the second database is based on at least one of a current location and a current time, and load the second database with the reference image data according to the determination.
