Abstract

In an image/audio playback technology in a mobile communication terminal, a single image is divided into two halves, i.e., left-half and right-half images, which are displayed on two mobile communication terminals, respectively. In addition, two mobile communication terminals can play left-side and right-side audio data, respectively, which compose stereo audio data, according to the relative locations of the two mobile communication terminals.

Claims

1. An image playback device, comprising:

a controller configured to recognize a relative location of a plurality of divided image data from a singular image to be displayed in multiple display units and to transmit a first one of the plurality of divided image data to a first display unit according to a relative location of the first display unit in relation to a second display unit; and

the second display unit configured to display a second one of the plurality of divided image data,

wherein the first one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on a left side of the second display unit, and

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on the right side of the second display unit.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of divided image data comprises at least one of a photo, a moving picture, and an animation.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of divided image data is decoded image data.

4. An apparatus, comprising:

a control circuitry configured to;

recognize a relative location of a first display unit in relation to a second display unit,

recognize a relative location of a plurality of divided image data from the singular image,

transmit a first one of the plurality of divided image data to a first display unit, and

transmit a second one of the plurality of divided image data to a second display unit,

wherein;

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on a left side of the second display unit, and

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on the right side of the second display unit.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the plurality of divided image data comprises at least one of a photo, a moving picture, and an animation.

6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the plurality of divided image data is decoded image data.

7. A method, comprising:

recognizing a relative location of a first display unit in relation to a second display unit;

recognizing a relative location of a plurality of divided image data from the singular image;

transmitting a first one of the plurality of divided image data to a first display unit; and

transmitting a second one of the plurality of divided image data to a second display unit, wherein;

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on a left side of the second display unit, and

the first one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data if the relative location of the first display unit is on the right side of the second display unit.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the plurality of divided image data comprises at least one of a photo, a moving picture, and an animation.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the plurality of divided image data is decoded image data.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising resizing a pixel size of the decoded image data.
