Patent Images
1. A portable device, comprising:
- a touch screen display;
at least first and second image sensors; and
a controller configured to perform operations comprising;
obtaining first image data and second image data via the first and second image sensors, respectively;
displaying, via the touch screen display, a first image and a second image corresponding to the first image data and the second image data obtained from the first and second image sensors, respectively, as live preview images, wherein the second image is displayed over at least a portion of the first image so as to display a composite live preview image;
moving a displayed location of the second image with respect to the first image in response to a user input, so as to display a modified composite live preview image;
detecting a capture event in respect of the modified composite live preview image; and
responsive to the detected capture event, storing a composite still image corresponding to the modified composite live preview image.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for operating a camera function in a portable terminal are provided. State information representing at least one of a direction and a rotation state of the portable terminal is obtained, and at least one of a sequence of reading an image from a camera sensor and an appropriate user interface is determined depending on the state information. Thus, the camera function is performed depending on the determined sequence or user interface.

12. A portable device, comprising:
-
a touch screen display; a first image sensor and a second image sensor; and a controller configured to perform operations comprising; obtaining first image data via the first image sensor, and second image data via the second image sensor; presenting, via the touch screen display, a third live preview image, the third live preview image generated using at least one portion of a second live preview image overlapping at least one portion of a first live preview image, the first and second live preview images corresponding to the first and second image data, respectively; identifying an input to capture the third live preview image; and storing the third live preview image in a memory operatively coupled with the controller in response to the input, wherein the third live preview image is acquired by moving a displayed location of the second live preview image with respect to the first live preview image in response to a user input. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein program instructions which, when executed by a processor of a portable device having a plurality of image sensors and a touch screen display, cause the portable device to:
-
obtain first image data and second image data via at least one of a plurality of image sensors in response to a first user input; display, on a touch screen display, a first image and a second image corresponding to the first image data and the second image data obtained from the first and second image sensors, respectively, as live preview images, wherein the second image is displayed over at least a portion of the first image so as to display a composite live preview image; move a displayed location of the second image with respect to the first image in response to a second user input, so as to display a modified composite live preview image; detect a capture event in respect of the modified composite live preview image; and responsive to the detected capture event, store a composite still image corresponding to the modified composite live preview image. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
