According to an embodiment, the electronic device 101 may communicate with the electronic device 104 via the server 108. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 101 may include a processor 120, a memory 130, an input device 150, a sound output device 155, a display device 160, an audio module 170, a sensor module 176, an interface 177, a haptic module 179, a camera module 180, a power management module 188, a battery 189, a communication module 190, a user identification module (SIM) 196, or an antenna module 197. In some embodiments, at least one of the components (e.g., the display device 160 or the camera module 180) may be omitted from the electronic device 101, or one or more other components may be added to the electronic device 101. In some embodiments, some of the components may be implemented as a single integrated circuit.For example, the sensor module 176 (eg, a fingerprint sensor, an iris sensor, or an illumination sensor) may be implemented to be embedded in the display device 160 (eg, a display).

[0034] The processor 120 may run, for example, software (e.g., program 140) to control at least one other component (e.g., hardware component or software component) of the electronic device 101 connected to the processor 120, and may perform various data processing or calculations. According to one embodiment, as at least part of the data processing or calculation, the processor 120 may load a command or data received from another component (e.g., sensor module 176 or communication module 190) into the volatile memory 132, process the command or data stored in the volatile memory 132, and store the resultant data in the non-volatile memory 134.

[0049] The communication module 190 may support establishing a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between the electronic device 101 and an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108), and perform communication via the established communication channel. The communication module 190 may include one or more communication processors capable of operating independently from the processor 120 (e.g., an application processor (AP)) and supporting direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to an embodiment, the communication module 190 may include a wireless communication module 192 (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module 194 (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module or a power line communication (PLC) module). A corresponding one of these communication modules can communicate with an external electronic device via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Direct, or Infrared Data Association (IrDA)) or a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a cellular network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or a wide area network (WAN))). These various types of communication modules can be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip), or these various types of communication modules can be implemented as multiple components separated from each other (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module 192 can identify and authenticate the electronic device 101 in a communication network (such as the first network 198 or the second network 199) using user information (e.g., an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)) stored in the user identification module 196.

According to an embodiment, the antenna module 197 may include one or more antennas, and thus, at least one antenna suitable for a communication scheme used in a communication network (such as the first network 198 or the second network 199) may be selected by, for example, the communication module 190 (e.g., the wireless communication module 192). A signal or power may then be transmitted or received between the communication module 190 and the external electronic device via the selected at least one antenna.

[0051] At least some of the above components may be connected to each other via an inter-peripheral communication scheme (e.g., a bus, a general purpose input output (GPIO), a serial peripheral interface (SPI), or a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI)) and communicatively transmit signals (e.g., commands or data) therebetween.

[0052] According to an embodiment, a command or data may be sent or received between the electronic device 101 and the external electronic device 104 via the server 108 connected to the second network 199. Each of the electronic device 102 and the electronic device 104 may be a device of the same type as the electronic device 101, or a device of a different type from the electronic device 101. According to an embodiment, all or some operations to be executed in the electronic device 101 may be executed in one or more of the external electronic device 102, the external electronic device 104, or the server 108. For example, if the electronic device 101 should automatically execute a function or service or should execute a function or service in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device 101 may request the one or more external electronic devices to execute at least part of the function or service instead of executing the function or service, or the electronic device 101 may request the one or more external electronic devices to execute at least part of the function or service in addition to executing the function or service.

[0093] The electronic device 220 may also include a plurality of pairs of housings rotatably coupled so as to be folded around a plurality of hinge modules to face each other.

[0094] Figure 3 An electronic device for providing camera-related functions according to an embodiment is shown. For example, Figure 3 The electronic device may be at least partially similar to Figure 1 The electronic device 100, Figure 2A and Figure 2B The electronic device 200, or FIG. 2C to FIG. 2E The electronic device 220 may include other embodiments of the electronic device.

[0095] Reference Figure 3 , the electronic device includes a processor 301 (eg, Figure 1 processor 120), camera 303 (e.g., Figure 1 camera module 180), a display device 305 (e.g., Figure 1 display device 160) and memory 307 (e.g., Figure 1 The processor 301 may include an AP, a graphics processing device and / or an ISP.

[0096] When receiving a user input for acquiring image content, the processor 301 may acquire a plurality of first images having a first attribute and one or more second images having a second attribute different from the first attribute based on image information (e.g., raw data) acquired by the camera 303 for a predetermined time. The first image may be a plurality of preview images acquired in a first period for a predetermined time, and may have a first attribute having a relatively lower resolution than the second image. The second image may be one or more captured images acquired for a predetermined time, and may have a second attribute having a relatively higher resolution than the first image.

[0097] When the camera 303 supports an auto focus (AF) function, the second image may be acquired based on focus information about an external object (e.g., a subject) for a predetermined time period. For example, the second image may be acquired when the camera 303 is focused. When the camera 303 does not support the AF function, the second image may be acquired in a second period different from the first period for a predetermined time. For example, the second period may be relatively longer than the first period. Because the second image and the first image are generated based on image information acquired by the camera 303 for a predetermined time period, the second image may include the same time information (e.g., a timestamp) as at least some of the first images.

[0098] The second image may be obtained based on a first capturing method (e.g., a multi-image capturing method) or a second capturing method (e.g., a single image capturing method). The multi-image capturing method may include generating one or more captured images by removing noise contained in the images using a plurality of images continuously acquired through the camera 303 as input. The single image capturing method may include generating a captured image based on one image acquired through the camera 303 at a specific point in time.

[0099] The predetermined time may include a predetermined time interval for acquiring the first image and / or the second image to generate various types of image content. The predetermined time may be set to be greater than the minimum image acquisition time set to acquire the first image and / or the second image for generating various types of image content, and may be set to be less than or equal to the maximum image acquisition time. For example, when acquiring the first image and / or the second image based on the user input for acquiring the image content, the processor 301 may control the display device 305 to display the first image.

[0100] When the minimum image acquisition time has passed since the time when the first image and / or the second image is acquired, the processor 301 may control the display device 305 to enable the shooting end button. For example, when a user input related to the shooting end button is received or when the maximum image acquisition time expires, the processor 301 may control the camera to end the acquisition of the first image and / or the second image.

[0101] The processor 301 may detect scene information of the first image and / or the second image. The processor 301 may detect scene information of each of the plurality of first images. The processor 301 may control the memory 307 to store the first image and the scene information detected from the first image. The processor 301 may acquire scene information of the second image based on the scene information detected from the first image. The processor 301 may identify the first image having the same time information as the second image among the plurality of first images. The processor 301 may determine the scene information of the first image having the same time information as the scene information of the second image having the same time information. The processor 301 may control the memory 307 to store the second image and the scene information of the detected second image (e.g., the scene information of the first image having the same time information).

[0102] The processor 301 may generate various types of image content based on the first image and / or the second image acquired for a predetermined time period. The various types of image content may include at least one static image or at least one dynamic image.

[0103] The processor 301 can generate at least one dynamic image based on multiple first images. The processor 301 can generate a first dynamic image in which multiple first images are continuously reproduced, and can generate a second dynamic image in which multiple first images are reproduced at a relatively faster speed than the first dynamic image. The processor 301 can detect a portion of the multiple first images in which movement of an external object has occurred. The processor 301 can generate a third dynamic image in which multiple first images included in the portion in which movement has occurred are continuously reproduced. The portion in which movement has occurred can be detected based on motion information of at least one external object included in the first image or a change in a feature point included in the first image. The change in the feature point may include a change in the shooting time point, a change in brightness, or a change in the background (e.g., the surrounding environment).

[0104] The processor 301 may generate at least one static image based on one or more second images. The processor 301 may select at least one candidate image for generating a static image from one or more second images. The candidate image may be selected based on the image quality of one or more second images, brightness information of the second image, color information of the second image, the composition of an external object included in the second image, and / or facial recognition information detected from the second image. The image quality may be set based on focus information (e.g., blur) of an external object included in the second image, noise information included in the second image, or contrast information of the second image. The processor 301 may remove similar images from one or more candidate images.

[0105] The processor 301 may determine whether to apply an image effect to one or more candidate images remaining after similar images are removed. When it is determined that an image effect is to be applied, the processor 301 may select an image effect to be applied to each candidate image. The processor 301 may generate at least one static image by applying an image effect to the candidate image. Based on the scene information (e.g., scene category or scene attribute) of at least one candidate image, the processor 301 may determine whether to apply an image effect to the candidate image or an image effect to be applied to the candidate image. Applying an image effect may include a series of operations of changing at least one of the color, transparency, style, contrast, or saturation of the second image. When it is determined that an image effect is not to be applied, the processor 301 may generate at least one static image corresponding to at least one candidate image, wherein a similar image has been removed from the at least one candidate image.

[0106] The processor 301 may control the display device 305 to display various types of image content generated based on the first image and / or the second image simultaneously (or together or at one time). The processor 301 may generate thumbnails of various types of image content generated based on the first image and / or the second image. The processor 301 may generate thumbnails corresponding to the respective image contents. The processor 301 may generate thumbnails in which various types of image content are displayed on one screen of the display device 305.

[0107] The camera 303 can capture static images and / or dynamic images. The camera 303 can be disposed on a first surface of the electronic device (eg, Figure 2A The first surface 210A or Figure 2C a first surface 231 in the middle) or a second surface facing away from the first surface (e.g., Figure 2B The second surface 210B or Figure 2E The camera 303 may include one or more lenses or image sensors.

[0108] The display device 305 can display information processed by the electronic device. The display device 305 can display various types of image content generated by the processor 301 at the same time point (or at the same time) in different areas.

[0109] The memory 307 may store various data to be used by at least one component of the electronic device (e.g., the processor 301 or the camera 303). The data may include at least one of a plurality of first images having a first attribute, one or more second images having a second attribute, and / or scene information. The data may include input data or output data for software and instructions related thereto.

[0110] The electronic device may include multiple cameras. In addition to the camera 303, the electronic device may also include at least one additional camera. The camera 303 and the at least one additional camera may be arranged in the electronic device to obtain images of external objects (e.g., a subject) in the same direction, or to obtain images of external objects (e.g., a subject) in different directions. For example, the camera 303 may be arranged on a first surface of the electronic device, and the additional camera may be arranged on a second surface (e.g., Figure 2B The second surface 210B or Figure 2E Alternatively, the additional camera may be disposed on the first surface of the electronic device, and the camera 303 may be disposed on the second surface. The additional camera may include one or more lenses or image sensors. The camera 303 and the additional camera may be driven independently of each other.

[0111] When receiving a user input for acquiring image content, the processor 301 may acquire one or more third images having a third attribute based on image information (e.g., raw data) acquired by the additional camera for a predetermined period of time. The third image may be one or more captured images acquired for a predetermined time, and may have a third attribute of having a relatively higher resolution than the first image and / or a relatively wider field of view than the second image.

[0112] When the additional camera supports the AF function, a third image may be acquired based on focus information about the external object for a predetermined time. The third image may be obtained while focusing the additional camera. When the additional camera does not support the AF function, the third image may be acquired in a third cycle different from the first cycle and / or the second cycle for a predetermined time. The third cycle may be relatively longer than the first cycle and may be set to be the same as or different from the second cycle.

[0113] The third image may be acquired based on the same or different capture method as the second image. The second image may be acquired based on the first capture method (e.g., a multi-image capture method) or the second capture method (e.g., a single image capture method). The second image and / or the third image may be generated in a hardware abstraction layer (HAL).

[0114] The processor 301 may generate various types of image content based on the second image and / or the third image acquired for a predetermined time. The processor 301 may generate at least one static image based on one or more second images and one or more third images. The processor 301 may select one or more candidate images for generating a static image from the one or more second images.

[0115] The processor 301 may select one or more third images corresponding to at least one candidate image. The processor 301 may be configured to crop a display area of ​​the candidate image at a predetermined magnification from the third image corresponding to the candidate image. The processor 301 may generate one or more static images by extracting at least a portion of each candidate image based on the display area information.

[0116] The processor 301 may detect a remaining area from one or more third images corresponding to the one or more candidate images, excluding an external object identical to an external object included in the candidate images. The processor 301 may generate one or more static images using the external object included in the one or more candidate images and the remaining area detected from the one or more third images. The processor 301 may generate one or more static images based on the one or more third images corresponding to the one or more candidate images.

[0127] Figure 4 is a flowchart showing a method for providing camera-related functions in an electronic device according to an embodiment. In the following embodiments, the various operations may be performed in sequence, but not necessarily in sequence. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel. For example, the electronic device may be Figure 1 electronic device 101, Figure 2A and Figure 2B The electronic device 200, FIG. 2C to FIG. 2E electronic device 220, or Figure 3 As an example, refer to Figure 5 , Fig. 6A and Figure 6B To describe Figure 4 at least some components thereof.

[0128] Reference Figure 4 , the electronic device (eg, a processor thereof) receives user input related to image acquisition in operation 401 .

[0129] Fig. 6A A camera-related screen configuration according to an embodiment is shown.

[0130] Reference Fig. 6A , when the camera application is executed, the processor may control the display device to display a camera application execution screen including a preview image 600. The processor may identify whether a user input related to a shooting button 602 is received in the camera application execution screen displayed on the display device. The camera application execution screen includes at least one of the preview image 600, the shooting button 602, the shooting image recognition button 604, the camera switching button 606, or the shooting mode information 610 (e.g., "single shot"). The shooting image recognition button 604 may include a menu for identifying image content obtained based on the user input related to the shooting button 602. The camera switching button 606 may include a menu for switching a camera used to acquire an image to another camera.

[0131] Refer again Figure 4In operation 403, the electronic device acquires a plurality of first images having a first attribute and one or more second images having a second attribute based on image information (eg, original images) acquired by the first camera for a predetermined period of time.

[0132] Figure 5 The time points of acquiring images using a camera according to an embodiment are shown.

[0133] Reference Figure 5 , a first image may be acquired by the first camera 500 in a first period 520 within a predetermined time 550 starting from a time point 510 at which shooting is started based on a user input related to image acquisition, and the first image may have a first attribute of relatively lower resolution than the second image. A second image may be acquired by the first camera 500 within a predetermined time 550 starting from a time point 510 at which shooting is started, and the second image may have a second attribute of relatively higher resolution than the first image. A time point 530 at which the second image is acquired may be determined based on a user input related to the time point 510 at which shooting is started and / or at least one request signal 512 generated within a predetermined time 550. When a first capture method (e.g., a multi-image capture method) is used, a processor may acquire a second image from which noise has been removed using a plurality of images (e.g., about 5 images) continuously acquired at each time point at which a request signal 512 is generated. A second image may be acquired based on a second capture method (e.g., a single image capture method) at each time point at which a request signal 512 is generated. When the first camera 500 supports the AF function, a request signal may be generated based on focus information of an external object (e.g., a subject) for a predetermined time 550. When the first camera 500 does not support the AF function, a request signal may be generated in a second cycle different from the first cycle for the predetermined time 550. The first image and the second image may be generated using the same image information (e.g., an original image) obtained through the same first camera 500. The first image may include an image processed to have a first attribute using the original image obtained through the first camera 500. The second image may include an image processed to have a second attribute using the original image obtained through the first camera 500.

[0134] The electronic device may further include a second camera. The electronic device may acquire one or more third images having a third attribute based on image information (eg, original images) acquired by the second camera for a predetermined period of time.

[0135] Refer again Figure 5, the third image is acquired by the second camera 502 for a predetermined time 550, and may have a third attribute of having a relatively higher resolution than the first image and / or having a relatively wider field of view than the second image. The time point 540 of acquiring the third image may be determined based on a user input related to the time point 510 of starting shooting and / or at least one request signal 512 generated within the predetermined time 550. When the second camera 502 supports the AF function, the third image may be generated based on the request signal 512 generated based on the focus information of the external object (e.g., the subject) within the predetermined time 550. When the second camera 502 does not support the AF function or is in a low illumination situation, the third image may be acquired in a third cycle based on at least one request signal 512 generated within the predetermined time 550. The third cycle may be relatively longer than the first cycle, and may be set to be the same as or different from the second cycle. When the second capture method (e.g., a single image capture method) is used, the processor may acquire one third image at each time point when the request signal 512 is generated. The third image may also be obtained based on the first capturing method (e.g., the multi-image capturing method) at each time point when the request signal 512 is generated. Since the third image is acquired by the second camera 502, the third image may include a captured image at the same or different time point as the time point when the second image is acquired by the first camera 500.

[0136] Reference Figure 4 In operation 405, the electronic device generates one or more various types of image content based on the plurality of first images and / or one or more second images. The image content may include at least one dynamic image generated based on the plurality of first images and / or at least one static image generated based on the one or more second images.

[0137] In operation 407 , the electronic device outputs one or more various types of image contents generated based on the first image and / or the second image through the display device.

[0138] Refer again Fig. 6A When a user input related to the captured image recognition button 604 is received in the camera application execution screen, the processor can control the display device to simultaneously display the first static image 622, the second static image 624, the third static image 626, the first dynamic image 628 or the second dynamic image 630.

[0139] Figure 6B An image content output screen according to an embodiment is shown.

[0140] Reference Figure 6B , when Fig. 6AWhen receiving a user input related to the captured image recognition button 604 in the camera application execution screen, the processor can control the display device to simultaneously display the first static image 622, the second static image 624, the third static image 626, the first dynamic image 628 or the second dynamic image 630. The composition of displaying various types of image content can be changed based on the image content display method or user input.

[0141] Figure 7 A flow chart of a method for acquiring an image in an electronic device according to an embodiment is shown. According to an embodiment, Figure 7 The operation can correspond to Figure 4 In the following embodiments, the operations may be performed in sequence, but not necessarily in sequence. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel. For example, the electronic device may be Figure 1 electronic device 101, Figure 2A and Figure 2B The electronic device 200, FIG. 2C to FIG. 2E The electronic device 220 or Figure 3 As an example, refer to Fig. 8A and Figure 8B To describe Figure 7 at least some components thereof.

[0142] Reference Figure 7 In operation 701, the electronic device starts acquiring a plurality of first images having a first attribute and one or more second images having a second attribute based on image information (e.g., original images) acquired through a first camera based on user input related to image acquisition. Fig. 6A As shown, when receiving a user input related to the capture button 602 in the camera application execution screen displayed on the display device, the processor may start acquiring a first image having a first attribute and a second image having a second attribute through the camera.

[0143] Fig. 8A A configuration of a screen for acquiring an image according to an embodiment is shown.

[0144] Reference Fig. 8A, when acquiring the first image and / or the second image, the display device may continuously display the first image (e.g., a preview image) 810 in at least a portion of the camera application execution screen. The camera application execution screen may include information 814 (e.g., “capturing”) indicating that the first image and / or the second image are being acquired in at least one area. When the acquisition of the first image and / or the second image starts, the capture button 602 included in the camera application execution screen may be switched to a capture end button 812. The capture end button 812 may be deactivated from the start of the acquisition of the first image and / or the second image until a minimum image acquisition time (e.g., approximately 3 seconds) has passed.

[0145] Refer again Figure 7 In operation 703, the electronic device determines whether the acquisition time of the first image and / or the second image exceeds the minimum image acquisition time. The processor may determine whether the time elapsed from the acquisition of image information (e.g., raw image) by the camera exceeds the predetermined minimum image acquisition time based on the user input related to image acquisition. The predetermined minimum image acquisition time may include a predetermined minimum time for acquiring the first image and / or the second image for generating various types of image content.

[0146] When the acquisition time of the first image and / or the second image does not exceed the minimum image acquisition time in operation 703, the electronic device continues to determine whether the acquisition time of the first image and / or the second image exceeds the minimum image acquisition time. The processor may determine whether the minimum image acquisition time has passed when the first image having the first attribute and / or the second image having the second attribute is acquired by the camera.

[0147] In operation 705 , when the acquisition time of the first image and / or the second image exceeds the minimum image acquisition time in operation 703 , the electronic device enables a photographing end button.

[0148] Figure 8B 1 is a configuration of a screen related to shooting end according to various embodiments.

[0149] Reference Figure 8B When the acquisition time of the first image and / or the second image exceeds the minimum image acquisition time, the processor may enable the shooting end button 820 .

[0150] Refer again Figure 7 In operation 707, the electronic device determines whether a user's selection input related to the shooting end button is received.

[0151] When the user selection input related to the shooting end button is not received in operation 707, the electronic device determines whether the acquisition time of the first image and / or the second image exceeds a predetermined maximum image acquisition time (e.g., about 10 seconds) in operation 709. The processor may determine whether the time elapsed from the acquisition of image information (e.g., raw image) by the camera exceeds the predetermined maximum image acquisition time based on the user input related to image acquisition.

[0152] In operation 709, when the acquisition time of the first image and / or the second image does not exceed the maximum image acquisition time, the electronic device determines whether a user selection input related to a shooting end button is received in operation 707. The processor may determine whether a user selection input related to a shooting end button is received when a first image having a first attribute and / or a second image having a second attribute is acquired through the camera.

[0153] When a user's selection input related to the shooting end button is received in operation 707, or when the acquisition time of the first image and / or the second image exceeds the maximum image acquisition time in operation 709, the electronic device ends the acquisition of the first image and / or the second image in operation 711. Within a predetermined time based on the maximum frame acquisition time or the time point when the selection input related to the shooting end button is received, the processor may acquire a plurality of first images having a first attribute and one or more second images having a second attribute through the first camera. The predetermined time may include the maximum frame acquisition time or the time from the time point when shooting is started to the time point when the selection input related to the shooting end button is received.

[0154] Fig. 9 is a flow chart showing a method for acquiring an image using multiple cameras in an electronic device according to an embodiment. According to an embodiment, Fig. 9 The operation can correspond to Figure 4 In the following embodiments, the operations may be performed in sequence, but not necessarily in sequence. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel. For example, the electronic device may be Figure 1 electronic device 101, Figure 2A and Figure 2B The electronic device 200, FIG. 2C to FIG. 2E electronic device 220, or Figure 3 electronic device.

[0155] Reference Fig. 9, when receiving a user input related to image acquisition, the electronic device determines whether to drive multiple cameras in operation 901. The processor of the electronic device may determine whether to drive the camera and at least one additional camera to generate image content. Whether the camera and at least one additional camera are driven may be determined based on at least one of an image content generation strategy, camera arrangement information, or user input.

[0156] When multiple cameras are driven in operation 901, in operation 903, the electronic device acquires multiple first images having a first attribute and one or more second images having a second attribute based on image information (e.g., original images) acquired by a first camera for a predetermined period of time. Figure 5 As shown, the first image is a plurality of preview images acquired in a first period 520 by the first camera 500 for a predetermined time 550, and may have a first attribute of relatively lower resolution than the second image. The second image is one or more captured images acquired by the first camera 500 for a predetermined time 550, and may have a second attribute of relatively higher resolution than the first image. The time point 530 of acquiring the second image may be determined based on one or more request signals 512 generated during the predetermined time 550.

[0157] In operation 905, the electronic device acquires one or more third images having a third attribute based on image information (eg, original images) acquired by the second camera for a predetermined period of time. Figure 5 As shown, the third image is one or more captured images acquired by the second camera 502 for a predetermined time 550, and may have a third attribute of a relatively higher resolution than the first image and / or a relatively wider field of view than the second image. The time point 540 of acquiring the third image may be determined based on at least one request signal 512 generated during the predetermined time 550. When the second capture method (e.g., a single image capture method) is used, the processor may acquire the third image based on the generation of the request signal 512. The third image may be obtained based on the first capture method (e.g., a multi-image capture method) according to the generation of the request signal 512. Because the third image is acquired by the second camera 502, the third image may include a captured image at a time point that is the same as or different from the time point at which the second image is acquired by the first camera 500.

[0158] Although operation 905 is shown as being performed after operation 903, operations 903 and 905 may be performed in parallel.

[0159] In operation 907, the electronic device generates one or more various types of image content based on the first image, the second image and / or the third image. The image content may include at least one dynamic image generated based on the first image and / or at least one static image generated based on the second image and / or the third image.

[0161] In operation 911, the electronic device generates one or more various types of image content based on the first image and / or the second image. The image content may include at least one dynamic image generated based on the first image, at least one static image to which an image effect generated based on the second image is applied, and / or at least one static image to which no image effect is applied.

[0162] When multiple cameras are driven, the electronic device can acquire the second image and the third image through the first camera and the second camera at similar time points. Figure 5 As shown, when the second image is acquired based on the first capture method (e.g., multi-image capture method) and the third image is acquired based on the second capture method (e.g., single image capture method), the processor can acquire the third image through the second camera at a time point similar to the time point at which the image of the second camera is acquired through the first camera based on the request signal 512. When the second image and the third image are acquired based on the second capture method (e.g., single image capture method), the processor can acquire the third image through the second camera at a time point similar to the time point at which the second image is acquired through the first camera based on the request signal 512. The images at similar time points may include images having the same time information or images in which the difference in time information included therein is included within a predetermined range.

The processor may detect one or more first images having the same time information (e.g., time stamp) as the second image among the plurality of first images. The processor may determine that the scene information detected in the one or more first images including the same time information as the one or more second images is the scene information of the second image including the same time information as the first image.

[0166] In operation 1005, the electronic device stores a first image and scene information related to the first image, and / or a second image and scene information related to the second image. The processor may control the memory to store the first image and scene information related to the first image and the second image and scene information related to the second image in different areas of the memory.

The one or more dynamic images may include a fourth dynamic image in which one or more first images included in the motion section are continuously and repeatedly reproduced, and a fifth dynamic image in which one or more first images included in the motion section are reproduced in reverse order of a play time point.

[0171] The electronic device can reproduce one or more dynamic images using the multiple first images acquired for a predetermined time. The dynamic image may include at least one of a first dynamic image in which the multiple first images are continuously reproduced and a second dynamic image in which the multiple first images are reproduced at a relatively higher speed than the speed of the first dynamic image.

The candidate images may include one or more second images determined to be captured at an optimal shooting time point (e.g., a time point of AF) in the one or more second images. The processor of the electronic device may select one or more candidate images based on the image quality of the one or more second images, the brightness information of the second image, the color information of the second image, the composition of an external object (e.g., a subject) included in the second image, or the facial recognition information detected from the second image. The processor may detect at least one final candidate image by removing similar images from one or more candidate images. The image quality may be set based on the focus information (e.g., blur) of the external object included in the second image, the noise information included in the second image, or the contrast information of the second image.

[0174] In operation 1203, the electronic device selects an image effect related to one or more candidate images (or at least one final candidate image). The processor may select an image effect to be applied to one or more candidate images (e.g., at least one final candidate image) based on scene information (e.g., scene category or scene attribute) related to the second image stored in the memory. The image effect to be applied to the candidate image may be selected according to a machine learning result based on the scene information.
