1. A method for providing a service using a sensor and image recognition in a portable terminal, comprising:
- displaying, by the portable terminal, a preview image obtained by a camera of the portable terminal;
determining, using an acceleration sensor, whether the portable terminal is moved over a first threshold distance of two or more threshold distances;
in response to determining the portable terminal is moved over the first threshold distance, adjusting a zoom level of the camera based on a distance of movement of the portable terminal;
determining, using the acceleration sensor, whether the portable terminal is moved over a second threshold distance of two or more threshold distances; and
in response to determining that the portable terminal is moved over the second threshold distance, restricting the zoom level of the camera.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus provides a service using a sensor and image recognition in a portable terminal that supports Augmented Reality (AR). The method includes determining whether the portable terminal is parallel to ground using an acceleration sensor. When the portable terminal is parallel to the ground, either a map including nearby Point Of Interest (POI) information or constellation information is displayed.

4. A method for providing a service using a sensor and image recognition in a portable terminal, comprising:
-
displaying, by the portable terminal, a preview image obtained by a camera of the portable terminal; obtaining current location information and displaying Point Of Interest (POI) information in the preview image; when an image is captured, synthesizing a graphical object indicating the POI information over the captured image; tagging the synthesized image as an image of a POI corresponding to the POI information; executing a related application for guiding an orientation of the portable terminal to the POI information of a corresponding location; and displaying the synthesized image including the POI information using the related application. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)

11. An apparatus for providing a service using a sensor and image recognition in a portable terminal, comprising:
-
a camera configured to capture an image; a display unit configured to provide a preview of the image by displaying the image from the camera; and a controller configured to; obtain Point Of Interest (POI) information in the preview of the image, synthesize a graphical object indicating the POI information over the captured image when the image is captured, tag the synthesized image as an image of a POI corresponding to the POI information, zoom in by a first preset level when the portable terminal is moved backward by a user over a first threshold distance, zoom out by the first preset level when the portable terminal is moved forward by the user over the first threshold distance, and determine that no zoom operation should be performed when the portable terminal is moved either forward or backward over a second threshold distance, the second threshold distance larger than the first threshold distance. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
