[0033] The terms to be described below are defined by considering the functions in the present disclosure and may differ according to the intention or practice of the user, operator, etc. Therefore, each term should be defined based on the contents of the entire specification.

[0034] In the present disclosure, 'scroll distance' may mean a minimum value between a scroll distance of a portion included in an initial screen and a scroll distance of a portion excluded from the initial screen in a scrollable view.

[0035] In the present disclosure, a 'scroll period' may refer to a scroll distance for performing scrolling with respect to a plurality of views.

[0036] Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating a method of performing a screenshot using scrolling according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 When taking a screenshot of a screen including multiple scrollable views, the differences between the method according to the prior art and the method according to the present disclosure may be described as follows.

[0038] In the prior art, when a screenshot is taken of a screen including a plurality of scrollable views 130a and 130b, the electronic device 10 obtains an initial screenshot 110 and then may perform a screenshot 120 by scrolling. When a screenshot is taken by scrolling a screen including a plurality of scrollable views, scrolling may be performed on one of the plurality of views. For example, a view having the largest size among the plurality of scrollable views may be scrolled. When scrolling is performed on only one of the plurality of scrollable views 130a and 130b, content may be repeatedly shown in the obtained screenshot. For example, when a screenshot (120) is obtained by scrolling only one of the plurality of scrollable views 130a and 130b, since the other view 130a is not scrolled, duplicate content 140 may be included. The screenshot may include unnecessary and redundant content, or may capture an unexpected portion.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 10 can take screenshots of multiple scrollable views. The electronic device can obtain an initial screen including multiple scrollable views. Hereinafter, for ease of description, the multiple scrollable views are referred to as the first view, the second view, etc.

[0040] In an embodiment, the electronic device may obtain information for capturing screenshots of the first view and the second view. The information for capturing the screenshot may include whether scrolling is possible, a scrolling distance, information about the position of the bottom line of each view according to scrolling, or a scrolling period, but is not limited thereto.

[0041] In an embodiment, the electronic device may obtain a current screen in which the first view and the second view move according to the scrolling cycle based on information for performing screenshots. The electronic device may obtain images corresponding to the first view and the second view included in the current screen, and may obtain a screenshot by synthesizing the images with the initial screen. For example, the electronic device may obtain information for capturing screenshots for multiple scrollable views 130a and 130b. The electronic device may identify the scrolling cycle based on the obtained information, and may obtain a current screen in which the multiple views 130a and 130b included in the initial screen move according to the scrolling cycle. The electronic device may obtain a screenshot 150 by synthesizing images corresponding to the multiple views 130a and 130b included in the current screen with the initial screen. Hereinafter, reference will be made to Figure 2 etc. describe the detailed method for determining the rolling period.

[0042] In an embodiment, the electronic device may perform scrolling on the current screen based on an input signal from the user. When the electronic device identifies a condition for continuous scrolling based on the input signal, the electronic device updates the initial screen to the current screen and updates the information for capturing a screenshot. The electronic device may repeatedly perform the above operation on the initial screen updated to the current screen. In an embodiment, the electronic device may repeat the above operation until scrolling cannot be performed on all views of the multiple views, or until an input signal for stopping the operation is received from the user.

[0043] In an embodiment, the electronic device may determine the size of the initial screen or select a view on which capture or screenshot will be performed based on an input signal from the user. The electronic device may set a maximum or minimum value for the initial screen. In addition, the electronic device may set a maximum or minimum value for the scrolling period. In an embodiment, the electronic device may automatically perform scrolling and screenshots based on a user input signal. In the following, reference is made to Figure 12 Describes methods for automating screenshots.

[0044] In an embodiment, the initial screen may include at least one third view. In an embodiment, the scroll direction of the third view may be different from the scroll direction of the first view and the second view. The electronic device may split the screen to include views with the same scroll direction in multiple views, and may obtain a screenshot by scrolling each split screen. The electronic device may obtain a single screenshot by merging the screenshots obtained from the split screens.

[0045] Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a screenshot by using a scroll by an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0046] In operation S210, the electronic device 10 may obtain an initial screen including multiple scrollable views. The multiple views may include a first scrollable view and a second scrollable view. The multiple views may also include at least one third scrollable view. In an embodiment, the scroll direction of the third view may be different from the scroll direction of the first view and the second view.

[0047] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain an initial screen including multiple scrollable views of various sizes. The electronic device 10 may determine, based on user input, whether a screenshot of the multiple scrollable views is permitted in order to obtain the initial screen. The multiple scrollable views may include views that are not permitted to be screenshotted due to security or copyright issues.

[0048] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may identify whether a screenshot or capture can be performed for the corresponding view based on an input signal for capturing multiple views. When it is identified that a screenshot or capture can be performed, the electronic device 10 may obtain an initial screen including multiple scrollable views and perform operation S220. In an embodiment, when a screenshot or capture of multiple views is not allowed, the electronic device 10 may not perform the next operation.

[0049] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may set the size of the initial screen. The electronic device 10 may determine the size of the initial screen based on an input signal from the user. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may determine the view to be captured for each scroll cycle from a plurality of views included in the initial screen based on the input signal. For example, the electronic device 10 may include a first view in the capture target and exclude a second view from the capture target from a plurality of scrollable views based on the input signal.

[0050] In operation S220, the electronic device 10 may obtain information for performing a screenshot.The electronic device 10 may obtain information about the first view and the second view in order to perform a screenshot with respect to the first view and the second view.

[0051] In an embodiment, in order for the electronic device 10 to perform a screenshot for the first view and the second view, the electronic device 10 may obtain information for performing the screenshot, the information including a scroll distance, whether scrolling is possible, information about the position of the bottom line of the plurality of views according to scrolling, or a scrolling period. The information for performing the screenshot may include information about each view and information about scrolling, but is not limited thereto.

[0052] The scroll distance may represent the minimum value between the scroll distance of the portion included in the initial screen and the scroll distance of another portion excluded from the initial screen for each view. For example, for the first view, when the portion included in the initial screen is smaller than the other portion excluded from the initial screen, the scroll distance of the first view may represent the scroll distance included in the initial screen. Figure 6 and Figure 8 Describes the detailed method for determining the scroll distance.

[0053] Whether scrolling is possible may indicate information regarding whether scrolling is possible for each of the views. For example, when performing a single scroll for a first view and a second view, an image of the entire first view is obtained using the initial screen and the current screen, while a portion of the second view may be excluded from the initial screen and the current screen obtained after the scroll. When performing a second scroll to obtain a screenshot of the second view, scrolling may not be performed for the first view, and scrolling may be performed only for the second view. Therefore, the information for performing a screenshot may include information indicating that scrolling is not possible for the first view (e.g., an indicator of "0") and information indicating that scrolling is possible for the second view (e.g., an indicator of "1").

[0054] The information about the position of the bottom line of the plurality of views according to the scrolling may indicate the position of the bottom line of the initial screen moved according to the scrolling. For example, when scrolling is performed for the first view and the second view, the position of the bottom line may indicate the position of the initial screen including the first view and the second view moved according to the scrolling cycle. Figure 6 and Figure 8 Describes the information about the lower end line in detail.

[0055] In an embodiment, information for executing a screenshot may be updated as scrolling is executed. The electronic device 10 may obtain the current screen by executing scrolling for an initial screen including a plurality of views. Since scrolling is repeatedly executed for a plurality of views included in the current screen, the electronic device 10 may update information about a scroll distance, position information of a lower end line, whether scrolling is possible, or a scrolling cycle, etc. for each of the views. Figure 7 Describe this.

[0056] In operation S230, the electronic device 10 may determine a scroll period. The electronic device 10 may determine the scroll period based on the information for performing the screenshot obtained in operation S220.

[0057] The scrolling period may represent a scrolling distance for performing scrolling for multiple views. The electronic device 10 may determine the scrolling distance based on the scrolling distances of the multiple views so that the same content may appear in the screenshot without redundancy. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may determine the minimum value between the scrolling distance of the first view and the scrolling distance of the second view as the scrolling period. For example, when the scrolling distance of the first view is less than the scrolling distance of the second view, the electronic device 10 may determine the scrolling distance of the first view as the scrolling period. In an embodiment, when there is a scrollable view among the multiple views, the scrolling period may represent the scrolling distance of the scrollable view. For example, when scrolling is completed to the bottom end of the first view and scrolling is performed only for the second view, the scrolling period may represent the scrolling distance of the second view.

[0058] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may update the scrolling period based on the scrolling distances of the multiple views updated as scrolling is performed for the multiple views. Figure 6 and Figure 9 Describe the detailed method.

[0059] In operation S240, the electronic device 10 may obtain a current screen that moves in a scroll cycle for the first view and the second view.The electronic device 10 may move in a scroll cycle for the first view and the second view based on an input scroll signal.

[0060] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may receive an input signal for performing scrolling on an initial screen including multiple views. Based on the input signal from the user, the electronic device 10 may obtain a current screen that moves according to a scrolling cycle for each of the multiple views included in the initial screen.

[0061] In an embodiment, when a non-scrollable view is included in the plurality of views, the electronic device 10 may perform scrolling in addition to the corresponding view. For example, when scrolling is completed to the bottom end for the first view, the electronic device 10 may obtain a current screen that moves according to the scrolling cycle only for views other than the first view.

[0062] In operation S250, the electronic device 10 may obtain images corresponding to the first view and the second view from the current screen. The electronic device 10 may obtain images not included in the initial screen from the current screen that moves in a scroll cycle with respect to the first view and the second view.

[0063] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain an image for synthesizing a screenshot for a plurality of views that are scrolled to capture a screenshot. The electronic device 10 may obtain an image to be synthesized with the screenshot based on information about the positions of the bottom lines of the plurality of views included in the initial screen according to movement according to the scrolling cycle. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may identify images of the plurality of views that are not included in the initial screen based on the positions of the plurality of bottom lines and may obtain the corresponding images.

[0064] For example, the electronic device 10 may identify bitmaps of multiple views not included in the initial screen from the current screen by using the position information of the lower end line of the initial screen according to the scroll. The bitmap may include position information of each pixel in the rectangular arrangement of pixels. The electronic device 10 may obtain images to be synthesized with the initial screen for each of the multiple views based on the identified bitmap. Figure 8 Describe the detailed method.

[0065] In operation S260, the electronic device 10 may obtain a screenshot by synthesizing the obtained image with the initial screen. The electronic device 10 may obtain a screenshot by synthesizing the images of the first view and the second view included in the current screen obtained in operation S250 with the initial screen.

[0066] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may synthesize an image obtained based on a bitmap with the initial screen. The electronic device 10 may synthesize the image with the initial screen by using a bitmap obtained based on the position information of the bottom line of the initial screen. For example, when obtaining images corresponding to the first view and the second view, the electronic device 10 may identify the positions of the first view and the second view in the initial screen based on the bitmap and synthesize the corresponding images.

[0067] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may repeatedly scroll the current screen based on a user input signal. While scrolling, the electronic device 10 may update the initial screen to the current screen and update the information for executing a screenshot. The electronic device 10 may scroll based on the updated information and then synthesize images obtained for each view to generate a screenshot.

Here, the at least one communication module may refer to a communication module capable of transmitting / receiving data via a network compliant with a communication standard (such as a tuner for receiving broadcasts, Bluetooth, wireless LAN (WLAN), wireless fidelity (WiFi), wireless broadband (Wibro), world interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), CDMA, WCDMA, etc.). According to an embodiment, the communication unit 310 may receive an input signal from the user regarding a screenshot. The communication unit 310 may transmit a signal to display a screenshot obtained by scrolling to the user. In an embodiment, the communication unit 310 may receive an input signal including information regarding the screen size, scrolling period, the view to be the target of the screenshot, etc., in order to perform the screenshot.

[0072] The processor 320 controls the overall operation of the electronic device 10. For example, the processor 320 may obtain an initial screen including multiple scrollable views based on an input signal regarding a screenshot received through the communication unit 310 by executing instructions stored in the memory 330, etc. The processor 320 may obtain information for executing a screenshot. The information for executing a screenshot may include, but is not limited to, information on the scroll distance of the multiple views, whether scrolling is possible, a scrolling cycle, or information on the position of the bottom line of the multiple views according to the scrolling. In an embodiment, the processor 320 may obtain images corresponding to the multiple views in the current screen obtained according to the scrolling, and synthesize the images to obtain a screenshot. In an embodiment, the processor 320 may be implemented as a plurality of processors.

[0073] The memory 330 may store program commands or codes executed by the processor 320 and may store input / output data (e.g., scroll distance, scroll period, whether scrolling is possible, position information of the bottom line, input signals received for screenshots, etc.). In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the memory 330 may store information for executing screenshots. The memory 330 may update the information for executing screenshots based on scrolling. In an embodiment, the memory 330 may update the current screen to the initial screen based on scrolling. In an embodiment, the memory 330 may be implemented as multiple memories.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the memory 330 may store data obtained via the communication unit 310.

[0075] Figure 4 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a method for providing a screenshot by using scrolling by an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0076] Reference Figure 4 , which lists operations that the electronic device 10 must perform in order to provide a screenshot by using scrolling. Figure 5 The detailed operation of the electronic device 10 is shown. Figure 2 Provide a description.

[0077] In operation S410, the electronic device 10 may obtain an initial screen. The initial screen may include multiple scrollable views. The multiple views may include a first view and a second view having the same scroll direction. The multiple views may also include at least one scrollable third view. In an embodiment, the scroll direction of the at least one third view may be different from the scroll direction of the first view and the second view.

[0078] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may determine whether to allow capture or screenshot of the initial screen. Due to security or copyright issues, the electronic device 10 may not be able to capture or screenshot the initial screen or a view included in the initial screen. In an embodiment, some of the multiple scrollable views included in the initial screen may not be captured or screenshotted. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain screenshots other than views that are not allowed to be captured or screenshotted based on an input signal from the user.

[0079] In an embodiment, based on an input signal for capturing multiple views, the electronic device 10 may identify whether screenshot or capture can be performed for the corresponding views. When it is identified that screenshot or capture can be performed for the multiple views, the electronic device 10 may perform operation S420.

[0080] In operation S420, the electronic device 10 may check whether the plurality of views satisfy a scrollable condition. The electronic device 10 may identify whether the plurality of views allowed to be screenshotted or captured are scrollable. For example, when all of the plurality of views included in the initial screen are not scrollable, the electronic device 10 may capture or screenshot the initial screen. The electronic device 10 may complete the operation after obtaining the screenshot of the initial screen.

[0081] In an embodiment, when it is recognized that scrolling is possible with respect to at least one of the plurality of views included in the initial screen, the electronic device 10 may perform operation S430 .

[0082] In operation S430, the electronic device 10 may perform scrolling for the initial screen based on the distance calculation and the line calculation. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may perform distance and line calculations for a plurality of views included in the initial screen, respectively.

[0083] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain information for performing a screenshot, and the information for performing a screenshot may include but is not limited to a scroll distance, whether scrolling is possible, information about positions of bottom lines of multiple views according to scrolling, or a scroll period.

[0084] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may calculate the scroll distance for each of the views. The scroll distance may represent the minimum value between the scroll distance of the portion included in the initial screen and the scroll distance of another portion outside the initial screen for each view. Figure 6 and Figure 8 Describes the detailed method for determining the scroll distance.

[0085] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain a scrolling period based on the scrolling distance for each view. The scrolling period may represent the scrolling distance for performing scrolling for multiple views. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may determine the scrolling period as the minimum value between the scrolling distance of the first view and the scrolling distance of the second view.

[0086] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may calculate position information about the bottom lines of the multiple views. The information about the positions of the bottom lines of the multiple views may indicate the position of the bottom line of the initial screen as it moves due to scrolling. The electronic device 10 may use the position information about the bottom line to identify an image to be synthesized from the entire image of the multiple views on the screen.

[0087] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may perform scrolling for a plurality of views included in the initial screen based on the obtained distance and line.The electronic device 10 may perform scrolling for a scrollable view among the plurality of views included in the initial screen based on the calculated scroll period.

[0088] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain a current screen moved in a scroll cycle with respect to a plurality of views included in an initial screen.

[0089] In operation S440, the electronic device 10 may generate an image by combining basic bitmaps for each scroll period. The electronic device 10 may obtain an image to be synthesized for each of a plurality of views in a current screen obtained according to each scroll period.

[0090] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may identify a basic bitmap based on information about the positions of the lower end lines of the plurality of views. The bitmap may include position information of each pixel in a rectangular arrangement of pixels. The electronic device 10 may obtain an image to be synthesized based on the identified bitmap in order to perform a screenshot of the plurality of views in the current screen. The electronic device 10 may generate an image obtained by synthesizing the obtained image with the initial screen. In the following, reference is made to Figure 8 Describe the detailed method.

[0091] In operation S450, the electronic device 10 may identify a condition regarding whether scrolling is continuously performed. The electronic device 10 may identify whether scrolling is continuously performed based on information for performing screenshot.

[0092] In embodiments, the information used to perform a screenshot may include whether scrolling is possible. Whether scrolling is possible may indicate whether each view is scrollable. For example, when a first scroll is performed for a first view and a second view, an image of the entire first view is obtained from the initial screen and the current screen, while a portion of the second view may be included in neither the initial screen nor the current screen obtained after the scroll is performed. When a second scroll is performed to obtain a screenshot of the second view, scrolling may not be performed for the first view, and scrolling may be performed only for the second view.

[0093] In an embodiment, when the electronic device 10 identifies a condition for continuously performing scrolling based on the information for performing screenshot, the electronic device 10 may perform scrolling according to the next cycle from operation S420. In an embodiment, when the electronic device 10 identifies a condition for discontinuously performing scrolling based on the information for performing screenshot, the electronic device 10 may perform operation S470.

[0094] Operations S420 to S450 are a process in which the electronic device 10 performs screenshots with respect to a plurality of scrollable views, and may be grouped into operation S460 .

[0095] In operation S470, the electronic device 10 may determine a screenshot and display a thumbnail. In an embodiment, when it is recognized that all views among the multiple views cannot be scrolled, the electronic device 10 stops scrolling and may determine a screenshot based on the image synthesized in operation S440. When the electronic device 10 receives an input signal not to perform scrolling for the multiple views or recognizes a condition not to perform scrolling for the multiple views, the electronic device 10 stops scrolling and may determine a screenshot based on the image synthesized in operation S440. When the screenshot is determined, the electronic device 10 may display a thumbnail indicating that the screenshot is complete to the user.

[0096] Figure 5 is a flowchart specifically illustrating a method for providing a screenshot by using a scroll by an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The electronic device 10 may identify whether a scrollable view exists among the multiple views included in the initial screen. In an embodiment, when it is identified that the multiple views are not scrollable, the electronic device 10 may determine the initial screen as a screenshot and may display thumbnails (S470). In an embodiment, when it is identified that at least one of the multiple views is scrollable, the electronic device 10 may perform operation S530. In operation S530, the electronic device 10 may display thumbnails and indicators related to scrolling. The electronic device 10 may display the thumbnails and an indicator indicating that scrolling is possible to the user. In an embodiment, the thumbnails may be indicated at the corners of the screen. The thumbnails may include a real-time image of the entire screen. An indicator may be displayed to the user to receive an input signal regarding whether to perform capture of the scrollable view. In operation S535, the electronic device 10 may receive a capture input signal for the scrollable view. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may receive an input signal from the user based on the indicator displayed in operation S530, the input signal indicating whether to execute the capture of the scrollable view. In operation S540, the electronic device 10 may identify a continuous execution condition based on the received input signal. In an embodiment, when the electronic device 10 recognizes a signal for stopping the operation for screenshot as a result of identifying the continuous execution condition, the electronic device 10 may determine the image of the current step as a screenshot and may display a thumbnail (S470). In an embodiment, when a signal for continuously executing the capture of the scrollable view is received from the user, the electronic device 10 may perform operation S545.

[0100] Operation S430 may include operations S545 to S555. In operation S545, the electronic device 10 may obtain information about scrollable views. The electronic device 10 may obtain information for performing a screenshot operation on the view to be captured. The information for performing the screenshot may include, but is not limited to, a scrolling distance, whether scrolling is possible, information about the position of the bottom line of multiple views according to scrolling, or a scrolling period. In operation S550, the electronic device 10 may determine distances and lines for multiple scrollable views. The electronic device 10 may determine the scrolling distances for the multiple views, and the scrolling distance may represent, for each of the views, the minimum value between the scrolling distance of a portion included in the initial screen and the scrolling distance of another portion outside the initial screen. The electronic device 10 may determine position information of the bottom line of the multiple scrollable views, and the position information of the bottom line may represent the position where the bottom line of the initial screen moves according to scrolling. In operation S555, the electronic device 10 may perform scrolling for the multiple views based on the distances and lines. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may determine the scrolling period based on the scrolling distances for the multiple views. The scrolling period may represent a scrolling distance for performing scrolling for the plurality of views. The electronic device 10 may perform scrolling for a scrollable view in the plurality of views based on the scrolling period. The electronic device 10 may obtain a current screen moved according to the scrolling period for the scrollable view in the plurality of views.

[0101] Operation S440 may include operations S560 to S575. In operation S560, the electronic device 10 may capture the current screen resulting from scrolling the initial screen based on the scrolling cycle. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain the current screen obtained by scrolling a plurality of scrollable views according to the scrolling cycle, and perform capture of the current screen. In operation S565, the electronic device 10 may obtain a list of scrolled views. The electronic device 10 may obtain a list indicating scrolled views among a plurality of views included in the initial screen. For example, among a plurality of scrollable views, when a first view scrolls and a second view does not scroll, the list may include information indicating the first view. In operation S570, the electronic device 10 may obtain a bitmap for views included in the list in the current screen. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain a bitmap based on position information of a lower end line of each view for views that are scrolled and included in the list. The bitmap may include information related to the position of each pixel in a square arrangement of pixels. In an embodiment, the bitmap may represent position information about an image that is not included in the initial screen but is included in the current screen as the scrolling is performed. Hereinafter, reference will be made to Figure 6 and Figure 8A detailed description is provided. In operation S575, the electronic device 10 may synthesize the image with the initial screen based on the obtained bitmap. The electronic device 10 may obtain an image of a view to be synthesized with the initial screen based on the bitmap obtained in operation S570. The electronic device 10 may synthesize the obtained image with the initial screen.

[0102] In operation S450, the electronic device 10 may identify a continuous execution condition. In an embodiment, when an input signal for continuously executing capture is identified, the electronic device 10 may return to operation S530 and repeat the operation. In an embodiment, when the continuous execution condition is not identified, the electronic device 10 may perform operation S470.

[0103] In operation S470, the electronic device 10 may determine a screenshot based on the image combined in operation S575 and display a thumbnail. In an embodiment, when it is recognized that scrolling cannot be performed for all views of the plurality of views or an input signal for stopping the screenshot operation is received from the user, the electronic device 10 may stop scrolling and may determine a screenshot based on the image combined in operation S440. When the screenshot is determined, the electronic device 10 may display a thumbnail indicating that the screenshot is completed to the user. In an embodiment, the thumbnail may include an image of the determined screenshot.

[0104] Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating a method of determining, by an electronic device, a distance and a line for providing a screenshot according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0105] Reference Figure 6 , the following describes a method of determining the distance and line for each scrolling cycle in order to provide a screenshot for three scrollable views. In an embodiment, the initial screen 620 obtained for the screenshot may include a plurality of scrollable views 610a, 610b, and 610c.

[0106] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain information for performing a screenshot of the plurality of scrollable views 610a, 610b, and 610c. The information for performing the screenshot may include, but is not limited to, scrolling periods 630a and 630b, scrolling distances, whether scrolling is possible, or information 640a and 640b regarding positions of the bottom lines of the plurality of views according to scrolling.

[0107] The electronic device 10 may determine a scroll distance for the plurality of scrollable views 610a, 610b, and 610c. The scroll distance may represent, for each of the views, the minimum value between the scroll distance of the portion included in the initial screen and the scroll distance of another portion outside the initial screen. For example, since the current distance 650 of the third view 610c included in the initial screen 620 in the first cycle is less than the remaining distance 660 of the third view excluded from the initial screen 620, the scroll distance of the third view 610c may represent the current distance 650 included in the initial screen 620.

[0108] Therefore, the first scrolling distance for the first view 610a in the first cycle may represent the scrolling distance of the portion of the first view 610a included in the initial screen 620, the first scrolling distance for the second view 610b represents the scrolling distance of the portion of the second view 610b included in the initial screen 620, and the first scrolling distance for the third view 610c represents the scrolling distance 650 of the portion of the third view 610c included in the initial screen 620.

[0109] In addition, the second scrolling distance for the first view 610a in the second cycle represents the scrolling distance of the portion of the first view 610a included in the first scrolling cycle 630a, the second scrolling distance for the second view 610b represents the scrolling distance of the portion of the second view 610b other than the first scrolling cycle 630a, and the second scrolling distance for the third view 610c represents the scrolling distance of the portion of the third view 610c included in the first scrolling cycle 630a.

[0110] The electronic device 10 may determine scrolling periods 630a and 630b based on the multiple views 610a, 610b, and 610c. The scrolling period may represent a scrolling distance for performing scrolling on the multiple views. The electronic device 10 may identify the minimum value among the scrolling distances for the multiple views 610a, 610b, and 610c as the scrolling period. For example, the first scrolling period 630a may represent a first scrolling distance of the second view 610b, wherein the first scrolling distance of the second view 610b has the minimum value among the first scrolling distances of the multiple views 610a, 610b, and 610c. In addition, the second scrolling period 630b may represent a second scrolling distance of the second view 610b.

[0111] Whether scrolling is possible may indicate whether further scrolling can be performed for each of the multiple views when scrolling is repeatedly performed to perform a screenshot. For example, when scrolling is performed for the multiple views 610a, 610b, and 610c in the second cycle, the entire image of the second view 610b may be obtained. When scrolling is performed in the third cycle, scrolling may not be performed for the second view 610b. Therefore, the information for performing a screenshot operation may include information indicating that scrolling is not possible for the second view 610b (e.g., an indicator of "0"), and information indicating that scrolling is possible for the first view 610a and the third view 610c (e.g., an indicator of "1").

[0112] When scrolling is completed for the plurality of views 610a, 610b, and 610c according to the second scrolling period, scrolling may no longer be performed for the second view 610b, and thus scrolling may be performed only for the first view 610a and the third view 610c according to the third scrolling period. Therefore, the third scrolling period may be determined as the minimum value between the third scrolling distance of the first view 610a and the third scrolling distance of the third view 610c.

[0113] The information regarding the position of the bottom line of the plurality of views according to scrolling may indicate the position of the bottom line of the initial screen according to the scrolling. For example, when scrolling is performed on the plurality of views 610a, 610b, and 610c included in the initial screen 620 according to the first scrolling cycle 630a, a line 640a of the first cycle (i.e., information regarding the position of the bottom line of the initial screen 620) may be determined.

[0114] In addition, when the scroll is moved according to the second scroll cycle 630b, the line 640b of the second cycle may be determined. The electronic device 10 may obtain images of the multiple views 610a, 610b, and 610c to be synthesized with the initial screen based on the information 640a and 640b of the lower end lines. Figure 8 and Figure 9 Describe the detailed method.

[0115] Figure 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of repeatedly performing scrolling by an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0116] Figure 7 The flowchart of FIG. 1 shows an operation in which the electronic device 10 repeatedly scrolls multiple scrollable views. The electronic device 10 may perform scrolling on an initial screen and then repeatedly scroll by identifying a continuous execution condition for multiple views. The continuous execution condition may include whether at least one scrollable view is included in the multiple views, a user input signal, etc.

[0117] In operation S710, the electronic device 10 may update a list of scrollable views. The list may include information indicating a scrollable view among a plurality of views.

[0118] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain information for performing a screenshot operation and may identify whether scrolling is possible for each of a plurality of views based on the obtained information.

[0119] Whether to perform scrolling may indicate whether each view is scrollable. For example, when performing a single scroll for a first view and a second view, an image of the entire first view is obtained using the initial screen and the current screen, while a portion of the second view may be excluded from the initial screen and the current screen obtained after the scroll is performed. When performing a second scroll to obtain a screenshot of the second view, scrolling may not be performed for the first view, and scrolling may be performed only for the second view. Therefore, the information for performing a screenshot may include information indicating that scrolling is not possible for the first view (e.g., an indicator of "0") and information indicating that scrolling is possible for the second view (e.g., an indicator of "1").

[0120] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may generate a list of scrollable views based on whether scrolling is possible, and update the list at each scrolling cycle.

[0121] In operation S720, the electronic device 10 may identify whether scrolling is to be performed. The electronic device 10 may identify whether scrolling is to be performed based on a user input signal or an updated list.

[0122] In an embodiment, when updating the list of scrollable views in operation S710, the electronic device 10 may display a thumbnail or an indicator indicating that scrolling is possible to the user. The electronic device 10 may identify whether scrolling is possible based on a user input signal or whether there is a view included in the list.

[0123] In an embodiment, when there is no view included in the list or when a signal for stopping scrolling is received from the user, the electronic device 10 may complete scrolling for the plurality of views. In an embodiment, when there is information that at least one view is included in the list or when a signal for performing scrolling is received from the user, the electronic device 10 may perform operation S730.

[0124] In operation S730, the electronic device 10 may perform scrolling based on the scrolling period.The electronic device 10 may identify the scrolling period based on information for performing the screenshot operation.

[0125] The scrolling period may represent a scrolling distance for performing scrolling on multiple views. The electronic device 10 may determine the scrolling distance based on the scrolling distances of the multiple views so as to perform scrolling so that the same content does not appear redundantly in the screenshot. For example, when there are a first view and a second view that can be scrolled, the electronic device 10 may determine the minimum value between the scrolling distance of the first view and the scrolling distance of the second view as the scrolling period.

[0126] The electronic device 10 may obtain a current screen that moves according to a scrolling cycle for multiple scrollable views. The electronic device 10 may perform a screenshot or capture of the current screen. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain images corresponding to the multiple scrollable views from the current screen based on the information used to perform the screenshot operation.

[0127] In operation S740, the electronic device 10 may detect a continuous condition for each view. The electronic device 10 may identify whether scrolling can be performed on each of the plurality of views.

[0128] In an embodiment, when at least one of the multiple views is not scrollable, the electronic device 10 may update the list of scrollable views (S710). For example, when scrolling of a first view among the multiple views is completed in operation S730 and no further scrolling of the first view is possible, the electronic device 10 may delete information about the first view from the list.

[0129] In an embodiment, when the multiple views are all scrollable, the electronic device 10 may return to operation S720 and identify whether to perform scrolling. When it is identified that scrolling is not performed for the multiple views after performing operation S720, the electronic device 10 may end the operation, and when a condition for performing scrolling is identified, the electronic device 10 may perform operation S730.

[0130] In an embodiment, when scrolling is repeatedly performed, the electronic device 10 may synthesize multiple images corresponding to the multiple views with the initial screen to obtain a screenshot including images corresponding to the multiple views in each cycle. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may synthesize the multiple images with the initial screen using a bitmap to obtain a screenshot.

[0131] Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating an example in which an electronic device obtains a screenshot by using scrolling according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0132] Reference Figure 8, the electronic device 10 can perform a screenshot operation on the plurality of scrollable views 810a and 810b. The scrollable first view 810a can be divided into regions A, B, C, and D according to the scrolling period or the position information of the lower end line. The scrollable second view 810b can be divided into regions E and F according to the scrolling period or the position information of the lower end line.

[0133] In an embodiment, the initial screen 830 may include areas A and B in the scrollable first view 810a and area E in the scrollable second view 810b. The electronic device 10 may obtain information for performing a screenshot operation for the first view 810a and the second view 810b. The information for performing a screenshot operation may include, but is not limited to, whether scrolling is possible, a scrolling distance, a scrolling cycle, information about a lower end line, and the like. Based on the information for performing a screenshot operation, the electronic device 10 may perform scrolling for the multiple views 810a and 810b and obtain a screenshot.

[0134] The scroll distance of each view may represent the minimum value between the scroll distance of the portion included in the initial screen and the scroll distance of the portion outside the initial screen. For example, the scroll distance for the first view 810a may represent the distance between regions A and B or the distance between regions C and D, because the scroll distance between regions A and B included in the initial screen is equal to the scroll distance between regions C and D, which are not included in the initial screen. The scroll distance for the second view 810b may also represent the distance between region E or the distance between region F, because region E included in the initial screen and region F, which are not included in the initial screen, have the same scroll distance.

[0135] The scrolling period is a scrolling distance for performing scrolling on the multiple views 810a and 810b without overlapping areas, and may represent a minimum value of the scrolling distances of the multiple views 810a and 810b. For example, since the scrolling distance of the second view 810b is less than the scrolling distance of the first view 810a, the scrolling distance of the second view 810b may be determined as the first scrolling period 820a.

[0136] The electronic device 10 may perform scrolling for the first view 810a and the second view 810b based on the first scroll cycle 820a. The current screen obtained after performing the first scroll (840) may include areas corresponding to B and C of the first view 810a and an area corresponding to F of the second view 810b.

[0137] The electronic device 10 may obtain images corresponding to the multiple views 810a and 810b included in the current screen. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain images corresponding to the multiple views to be combined with the initial screen from the current screen based on the position information of the lower end line used to obtain the screenshot. For example, when the initial screen 830 is scrolled according to the first scroll cycle 820a, the lower end line of the initial screen moves between 2 and 3 on the y-axis (850). The electronic device 10 may identify that the portions of the multiple views 810a and 810b included in the current screen but not included in the initial screen are areas corresponding to C and F, respectively, based on the position information 850 of the lower end line. The electronic device 10 may obtain a screenshot 860 obtained by obtaining images of the areas corresponding to C and F and combining the images with the initial screen 830.

[0138] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain bitmap information about the multiple views 810a and 810b based on the position information of the lower end line. The bitmap may include position information of the multiple views in each area of ​​the rectangularly arranged pixels. The electronic device 10 may obtain images corresponding to the multiple views 810a and 810b from the current image by using the bitmap information.

[0139] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may synthesize the images obtained for the plurality of views 810a and 810b with the initial screen after performing the first scroll to obtain a screenshot 860. The electronic device 10 may synthesize an area corresponding to area C of the image obtained after the first scroll as the first view 810a and areas corresponding to areas A and B included in the initial screen of the first view 810a. In addition, the electronic device 10 may synthesize an area corresponding to area F of the image obtained after the first scroll as the second view 810b and an area corresponding to area E included in the initial screen of the second view 810b.

[0140] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may update information for taking a screenshot of the first view 810a and the second view 810b after performing the first scroll. For example, since the entire image of the second view 810b is obtained according to the first scroll, an indicator (e.g., "0") indicating that scrolling may not be performed on the second view 810b may be updated. In addition, since the scrollable view is the first view 810a, the scroll distance of the first view 810a is updated, and the scroll distance of the first view 810a may be determined as a scrolling cycle. The electronic device 10 may perform a second scroll on the first view 810a and obtain an image of an area corresponding to D of the first view 810a from the current screen. The electronic device 10 may obtain a screenshot by combining the image of the area corresponding to D of the first view 810a obtained according to the second scroll with the screenshot 860 obtained after the first scroll.

[0141] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may repeatedly perform scrolling and screenshots by identifying a continuous execution condition. When the scrolling and screenshot operations are completed, the electronic device 10 may display the determined screenshots to the user via a thumbnail or an indicator. In an embodiment, when a screenshot is obtained by combining area D of the first view 810a, the electronic device 10 may complete the scrolling and screenshot operations. The electronic device 10 may display the obtained screenshots to the user via a thumbnail or an indicator.

[0142] Figure 9 is a diagram illustrating a method of determining a scroll period according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0143] Reference Figure 9 , a method of determining a scroll distance and a scroll period when two scrolls are performed on a scrollable first view 910a and a second view 910b is shown.

[0144] The electronic device 10 may perform screenshots for the plurality of scrollable views 910a and 910b.The electronic device 10 may obtain an initial screen 920 including a portion of the first view 910a and a portion of the second view 910b.

[0145] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may obtain information for performing a screenshot operation on the scrollable first view 910a and the second view 910b. The information for performing a screenshot operation may include whether scrolling is possible, a scrolling distance, a scrolling cycle, position information about the bottom line, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0146] The scroll distance may represent, for each of the views, the minimum value between the scroll distance of the portion included in the initial screen and the scroll distance of another portion outside the initial screen. For example, the electronic device 10 may calculate the scroll distance for the first view 910a and the second view 910b. In the first view 910a, between a distance 1.1930a included in the initial screen 920 and a distance 1.2930b not included in the initial screen 920, the smaller value (i.e., distance 1.2930b) is identified as the first scroll distance of the first view 910a. Furthermore, in the second view 910b, between a distance 2.1930c included in the initial screen 920 and a distance 2.2930d not included in the initial screen 920, the smaller value (i.e., distance 2.1930c) is identified as the first scroll distance of the second view 910b.

[0147] The scrolling cycle may represent a scrolling distance for performing scrolling on multiple views. For example, the electronic device 10 may identify the smaller value between the first scrolling distance 930b of the first view 910a and the first scrolling distance 930c of the second view 910b (i.e., the first scrolling distance 930b of the first view 910a) as the first scrolling cycle 940a.

[0148] In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may scroll the first view 910a and the second view 910b according to the first scrolling cycle 940a. The electronic device 10 may obtain images corresponding to multiple views in the current screen according to the scrolling. For example, according to the scrolling performed according to the first scrolling cycle 940a, the electronic device 10 may obtain image 1 (950a) of the first view 910a of the first cycle and image 2 (950b) of the second view 910b of the first cycle. The electronic device 10 may combine the obtained images 950a and 950b with the initial screen based on the position information or bitmap information of the lower end line.

[0149] The electronic device 10 may update the information for executing a screenshot based on the scrolling. For example, the entire image of the first view 910 is obtained based on the scrolling in the first cycle, and therefore, additional scrolling of the first view 910a may not be performed. Therefore, regarding whether a screenshot can be performed, the first view 910a may be updated to an indicator (e.g., "0") indicating that scrolling is not required. In addition, since only the second view 910b can be screenshotted, the electronic device 10 may determine the scrolling distance of the second view as the second scrolling cycle 940b. The electronic device 10 may scroll based on the second scrolling cycle 940b and obtain image 3 950c of the second view of the second cycle.
