Electronic device and method of controlling the same

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to an electronic device and a control method thereof for estimating the installation position of a camera and correcting and displaying the coordinates of an object.

[0002] As artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies advance, technology exists that uses cameras to recognize human poses and motions.

[0003] Accordingly, technology that recognizes human poses and motions can be utilized to provide interactions tailored to those poses and movements. Among these, various services, such as AI home training and motion games, are expanding, primarily on mobile devices, and the trend is also expanding to services utilizing large screens like TVs.

[0004] At this time, external cameras installed on large screens can be installed mainly at the top or bottom of the screen. However, as TV screen sizes have recently increased to 70-80 inches or more, height differences arise depending on the camera installation location (top / bottom of the TV). This can lead to differences in the camera angle that captures the user, and thus, the user's appearance reflected on the screen.

However, this is not intended to limit the scope to specific embodiments, but should be understood to encompass various modifications, equivalents, and / or alternatives of the embodiments of the present disclosure. In connection with the description of the drawings, similar reference numerals may be used for similar components.

[0033] In describing the present disclosure, if it is determined that a specific description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present disclosure, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0034] Additionally, the following embodiments may be modified in various other forms, and the scope of the technical concepts of the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. Rather, these embodiments are provided to further faithfully and completely convey the technical concepts of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0035] The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the rights. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0036] In this disclosure, expressions such as “has,” “can have,” “includes,” or “may include” indicate the presence of a corresponding feature (e.g., a component such as a number, function, operation, or part), and do not exclude the presence of additional features.

[0037] In this disclosure, expressions such as “A or B,” “at least one of A and / or B,” or “one or more of A or / and B” can include all possible combinations of the listed items. For example, “A or B,” “at least one of A and B,” or “at least one of A or B” can all refer to instances where (1) at least one A is included, (2) at least one B is included, or (3) at least one A and at least one B are included.

[0038] The expressions “first,” “second,” “first,” or “second,” etc., used in this disclosure can describe various components, regardless of order and / or importance, and are only used to distinguish one component from another, but do not limit the components.

[0039] When it is said that a component (e.g., a first component) is “(operatively or communicatively) coupled with / to” or “connected to” another component (e.g., a second component), it should be understood that said component may be directly coupled to said other component, or may be coupled via another component (e.g., a third component).

[0086] And, if no movement toward the lower side of the electronic device (100) is detected (S220-N), the processor (190) can obtain information corresponding to the camera being installed at the bottom of the electronic device (100). That is, the processor (190) can recognize or estimate the installation location of the camera as being at the lower side of the electronic device (100).

[0087] Meanwhile, the processor (190) can accumulate and acquire sensing values ​​representing the movement of the electronic device (100) obtained through the sensor (180) while the camera is installed. Then, the processor (190) can detect movement toward the upper side of the electronic device (100) or the lower side of the electronic device (100) from the accumulated sensing values.

[0088] And, based on information corresponding to movement in the upper or lower direction of the electronic device (100), the processor (190) can obtain information corresponding to the installation position of the camera.

[0089] FIG. 4 is a drawing illustrating a point in time when a camera according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure is installed.

[0090] Referring to FIG. 4, at time T1, a camera may be connected to an electronic device (100) by a user. Then, at time T2, following T1, the electronic device (100) may detect the connection of the camera. Then, at time T3, following T2, camera installation may begin. Then, camera installation may be completed at time T4.

[0091] At this time, the sensing value acquired through the sensor (180) may include a sensing value acquired between time points T1 and T2, a sensing value acquired between time points T2 and T3, and a sensing value acquired between time points T3 and T4.

[0092] At this time, when a connection with the electronic device (100) of the camera is detected, the processor (190) can obtain information corresponding to the installation location of the camera based on information corresponding to the movement of the electronic device (100) obtained through the sensor (180).

[0093] That is, the processor (190) can obtain a sensing value from which noise has been removed among the sensing values ​​obtained after time point T2. Here, the sensing value obtained after time point T2 may be an accumulated value of the sensing values ​​obtained after time point T2. In addition, noise may mean a sensing value that is lower than a preset value among the sensing values.

[0094] And, based on the sensing value for the movement of the z-axis among the sensing values ​​from which noise has been removed, the processor (190) can estimate the installation position of the camera.

[0095] For example, if the sensing value for the movement along the z-axis among the sensing values ​​from which noise has been removed is (-), the processor (190) can estimate that the camera is installed at the top of the electronic device (100).

[0096] And, if the sensing value for the movement of the z-axis among the sensing values ​​from which noise has been removed is 0 or (+), the processor (190) can estimate that the camera is installed at the bottom of the electronic device (100).

[0097] FIG. 5 is a drawing for explaining the point at which a camera according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure is installed.

[0098] Referring to FIG. 5, the installation of the camera may begin at time T1, the installation of the camera may be completed at time T2 after time T1, the camera may be connected at time T3 after time T2, and the connection of the camera may be detected at time T4 after time T3.

[0099] At this time, the sensing value acquired through the sensor (180) may include the sensing value acquired between time points T1 and T2, the sensing value acquired between time points T2 and T3, and the sensing value acquired between time points T3 and T4.

[0100] When movement of the electronic device (100) is detected before the electronic device (100) and the camera are connected (e.g., before a preset time range from the time the electronic device (100) and the camera are connected), the processor (190) can obtain information corresponding to the installation location of the camera based on information corresponding to the movement of the electronic device (100) obtained through the sensor (180).

[0101] That is, the processor (190) can obtain a sensing value from which noise has been removed among the sensing values ​​obtained after time point T3. Here, the sensing value obtained after time point T3 may be an accumulated value of the sensing values ​​obtained after time point T3. In addition, noise may mean a sensing value that is lower than a preset value among the sensing values.

[0102] And, based on the sensing value for the movement of the z-axis among the sensing values ​​from which noise has been removed, the processor (190) can estimate the installation position of the camera.

[0103] For example, if the sensing value for the movement along the z-axis among the sensing values ​​from which noise has been removed is (-), the processor (190) can estimate that the camera is installed at the top of the electronic device (100).

[0104] If the sensing value for the movement of the z-axis among the sensing values ​​from which noise has been removed is 0 or (+), the processor (190) can estimate that the camera is installed at the bottom of the electronic device (100).

[0105] FIG. 6 is a drawing for explaining the point at which a camera according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure is installed.

[0106] Referring to Figure 6, the camera installation is completed at time T1, an application is executed at time T2 after time T1, and the camera installation position can be adjusted at time T3 after time T2. At this time, the application may be an application that utilizes images acquired through the camera.

[0107] At this time, the sensing value acquired through the sensor (180) may include the sensing value acquired between time points T1 and T2 and the sensing value acquired between time points T2 and T3.

[0108] After the execution of an application using an image acquired through a camera is detected, if movement of the electronic device (100) is detected, the processor (190) can acquire information corresponding to the installation location of the camera based on information corresponding to the movement of the electronic device (100).

[0109] Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, the application, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, may refer to software that is executed on a computer OS (Operating System) or a mobile OS and used by a user. In addition, the application may refer to an application executed on an electronic device (100), but this is only one embodiment, and the application may be executed on a camera, and the electronic device (100) may receive information corresponding to the screen of the application executed on the camera from the camera through an interface and display it on the display (130).

[0110] That is, when information corresponding to the installation location of the camera is acquired and an application using the image acquired through the camera is executed, the electronic device (100) can re-acquire information corresponding to the installation location of the camera based on information corresponding to the movement of the electronic device (100) acquired through the sensor (180).

[0111] The processor (190) can obtain a sensing value from which noise has been removed among the sensing values ​​obtained after time point T2. Here, the sensing value obtained after time point T2 may be an accumulated value of the sensing values ​​obtained after time point T2. In addition, noise may mean a sensing value that is lower than a preset value among the sensing values.

[0112] And, based on the sensing value for the movement of the z-axis among the sensing values ​​from which noise has been removed, the processor (190) can estimate the installation position of the camera.

[0113] For example, if the sensing value for the movement along the z-axis among the sensing values ​​from which noise has been removed is (-), the processor (190) can estimate that the camera is installed at the top of the electronic device (100).

[0114] If the sensing value for the movement of the z-axis among the sensing values ​​from which noise has been removed is 0 or (+), the processor (190) can estimate that the camera is installed at the bottom of the electronic device (100).

[0115] And, the processor (190) can estimate the installation height of the camera according to the installation location of the camera (S250).

[0116] FIGS. 7 to 10 are drawings for explaining a method for an electronic device (100) to estimate an installation height of a camera according to an installation position of the camera according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0117] Referring to FIG. 7, the electronic device (100) may be positioned on a stand (20) located on the ground (10). And, the camera (200) may be positioned on the top of the electronic device (100).

[0118] At this time, the processor (190) can estimate the installation height of the camera (200) using the height information of the electronic device (100). Here, the installation height (h) of the camera (200) may be the distance at which the camera (200) is separated from the ground (10). At this time, the distance at which the camera (200) is separated from the ground (10) may be the sum of the distance (h1) at which the electronic device (100) is separated from the ground (10) and the height (h2) of the electronic device (100). At this time, the height of the electronic device (100) may be stored in the memory (110). In addition, the height of the stand (20) may be a preset value or a value set by the user.

[0119] Referring to FIG. 8, the camera (200) can be positioned on a stand (20) on which the electronic device (100) is placed.

[0120] Referring to FIG. 9, the camera (200) may be positioned on the ground (10). At this time, the camera (200) may be positioned within a preset distance from the stand (20) on which the electronic device (100) is placed.

[0121] Referring to FIG. 10, the camera (200) may be positioned on the sound bar (101). At this time, the sound bar (101) may be connected to the electronic device (100) wirelessly or by wire, and may output audio of the image output by the electronic device (100). Meanwhile, the sound bar (101) may be placed on the stand (20), but this is only one embodiment, and may be placed on the ground (10). In addition, the camera (200) may be installed on the sound bar (101) placed on the ground (10). As described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10, when the camera (200) is installed at the bottom of the electronic device (100), the processor (190) may estimate the installation height of the camera (200).

[0122] Meanwhile, the processor (190) can control the speaker (160) to output specific audio. At this time, the audio output through the speaker (160) may be an inaudible sound that cannot be recognized by the user. In addition, based on the time at which the audio is output through the speaker (160) and the time at which the output audio is detected by the camera, the electronic device (100) can obtain information corresponding to the distance between the camera and the electronic device (100). Specifically, the processor (190) can identify the time at which the audio output through the speaker (160) is detected by the microphone of the camera (200). Accordingly, the processor (190) can identify the distance at which the camera (200) is located from the electronic device (100) based on the difference between the time at which the audio is output through the speaker (160) and the time at which the audio output through the speaker (160) is detected by the microphone of the camera (200).

[0123] Based on the distance that the camera (200) is from the electronic device (100), the processor (190) can estimate the installation height of the camera (200). For example, if the distance that the electronic device (100) is from the ground is h1 and the distance from the electronic device (100) to the camera (200) is d, the installation height of the camera (200) can be (h1 – d).

[0124] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the camera (200) may be implemented in the form of an IP camera, a webcam, etc., but this is only one embodiment, and may be implemented as a user terminal device (e.g., a smartphone) including an image sensor. That is, the user terminal device including the image sensor may be installed on one side of the electronic device (100). Accordingly, an image captured by the user terminal device may be displayed through the display (130) of the electronic device (100). In this case, the image displayed through the display (130) may be a corrected image of the image captured by the user terminal device.

[0125] Meanwhile, the electronic device (100) may include a stand for mounting a camera (200) on one side (e.g., the upper side or the side) of the electronic device (100). In this case, when the camera (200) is mounted on the stand, the electronic device (100) can identify the height of the camera (200) based on information corresponding to the position of the stand.

[0126] For example, referring to FIG. 11, the electronic device (100) may include a stand (1110) on the upper side of the electronic device (100). And, a camera (200) may be installed on the stand (1110). At this time, the camera (200) may be implemented as a smartphone as described above, but is not limited thereto. And, based on the installation position of the stand (1110), the electronic device (100) may estimate the installation height of the camera (200). For example, if the distance between the electronic device (100) and the ground is h1, the height of the electronic device (100) is h2, and the length of the stand installed on the upper side of the electronic device (100) is d, the installation height (h) of the camera (200) may be (h1 + h2 + d).

[0127] And, according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the camera (200) may include various types of structures for being installed on one side of the electronic device (100). For example, the camera (200) may include a clip for being fixed to one side of the electronic device (100). Alternatively, the camera (200) may include a magnet for being attached to one side of the electronic device (100). In this case, the magnet included in the camera (200) may be magnetically coupled to a magnet built into the electronic device (100). Alternatively, the camera (200) may include an adhesive surface for being attached to one side of the electronic device (100).

[0128] In addition to the above, the camera (200) may be installed on one side of the electronic device (100) in various forms. Then, when the camera (200) is installed, the electronic device (100) can estimate the installation height of the camera (200). When the installation height of the camera is estimated, the processor (190) can estimate the shooting angle (θ) of the camera (S260).

[0129] Here, the camera (200) can be rotated toward the ground or the ceiling. Accordingly, the angle of view of the camera corresponding to the shooting range of the camera (200) can be changed. As illustrated in FIG. 12, the camera (200) can be rotated by an angle θ toward the ground. Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the camera (200) can be rotated by an angle θ toward the ceiling. Meanwhile, the shooting angle of the camera (200) can be rotated by the user, but this is merely an embodiment, and the processor (190) can also control the camera (200) to rotate the camera (200). That is, the shooting angle of the camera (200) can mean the angle at which the camera (200) is rotated or the angle at which the camera (200) is tilted. Accordingly, the angle of view of the camera (200) can be adjusted to satisfy a specific condition (e.g., the user's entire body is included in the angle of view).

[0130] Specifically, based on information corresponding to the installation location of the camera, the processor (190) can obtain information corresponding to the user's location. Here, the information corresponding to the user's location may refer to an estimated or recognized user's location. In addition, the user's location may refer to a distance between the electronic device (100) and the user, and the user's location may be located at a preset distance from the electronic device (100). In this case, the preset distance may correspond to an application running on the electronic device (100). In addition, the distance between the electronic device (100) and the user corresponding to the application running on the electronic device (100) may be stored in the memory (110).

[0131] For example, if a first application is running on an electronic device (100), the processor (190) may estimate the distance between the electronic device (100) and the user as 1 m corresponding to the first application. Alternatively, if a second application is running on the electronic device (100), the processor (190) may estimate the distance between the electronic device (100) and the user as 2 m corresponding to the second application.

[0132] That is, depending on the application running on the electronic device (100), the optimal location for the user to perform an action according to the application may vary. Accordingly, the electronic device (100) can estimate the user's location based on information about the running application.

[0133] And, based on the information corresponding to the installation height of the camera and the user's position, the processor (190) can obtain information corresponding to the shooting angle of the camera (S260). Here, the shooting angle of the camera (200) may mean the angle at which the camera (200) is rotated based on the direction in which the ground or the front of the electronic device (100) is facing, but is not limited thereto. And, the information corresponding to the shooting angle of the camera may mean the estimated or recognized shooting angle of the camera.

[0134] At this time, the shooting angle of the camera may refer to a shooting angle of the camera capable of capturing at least a portion of an object located at a preset distance from the electronic device (100). At this time, the object may correspond to a user, but is not limited thereto, and may be implemented in various forms, such as a dynamic object or a static object.

[0135] Specifically, the processor (190) can estimate the shooting angle of the camera (200) for capturing at least a portion of the user's entire body.

[0136] At this time, at least a part of the user's entire body may mean, but is not limited to, the user's entire body, the user's face, the user's upper body, or the user's lower body.

[0137] Meanwhile, at least a portion of the user's entire body may correspond to an application running on the electronic device (100).

[0138] For example, when a first application is running on an electronic device (100), the processor (190) can estimate the shooting angle of a camera (200) for shooting a full body of a user. Alternatively, when a second application is running on an electronic device (100), the processor (190) can estimate the shooting angle of a camera (200) for shooting a full body of a user.

[0139] Referring to FIG. 13, the processor (190) can estimate the shooting angle (θ) of the camera (200) for shooting the full body of a user (30) located at a distance d from the display (130). At this time, the angle of view (200-1) of the camera (200) can include the full body of the user.

[0140] Meanwhile, the actual shooting angle (θ) of the camera (200) can be adjusted by the user. At this time, the processor (190) can provide a notification for adjusting the shooting angle (θ) of the camera. At this time, the processor (190) can provide a notification to the user guiding the user to adjust the shooting angle of the camera (200) by θ so that the angle of view of the camera (200) satisfies a specific condition (e.g., shooting the user's entire body).

[0141] Meanwhile, as described above, the electronic device (100) can control the shooting angle of the camera (200) so that the angle of view of the camera satisfies a specific condition. However, this is only one embodiment, and the electronic device (100) can also control the angle of view of the camera by controlling the focal length of the lens of the camera. That is, the electronic device (100) can increase the angle of view of the camera by reducing the focal length of the lens of the camera.

[0142] Specifically, when the camera's shooting mode is the first mode, the angle of view of the camera (200) may not satisfy certain conditions. Accordingly, the electronic device (100) may control the focal length of the camera's lens so that the angle of view of the camera (200) satisfies certain conditions, thereby switching the shooting mode of the camera (200) to the second mode.

[0143] For example, when the camera's shooting mode is a normal shooting mode, the angle of view of the camera (200) may include only a portion of the user's entire body. In this case, the electronic device (100) may control the focal length of the camera's lens so that the angle of view of the camera (200) includes the entire user's entire body, thereby switching the camera's shooting mode to a wide-angle shooting mode.

[0144] Meanwhile, although the electronic device (100) according to the present disclosure individually describes the operation of adjusting the shooting angle of the camera or controlling the focal length of the lens of the camera, it is not limited thereto, and the electronic device (100) may perform the operation of adjusting the shooting angle of the camera and the operation of controlling the focal length of the lens of the camera together.

[0145] For example, if the condition that the camera's angle of view must satisfy is a condition that includes the user's entire body, the electronic device (100) can control the camera's shooting angle so that the center of the camera's angle of view is positioned at a point corresponding to the center of the user's entire body. In addition, the electronic device (100) can control the focal length of the camera's lens so that the camera's angle of view includes the user's entire body.

[0146] Meanwhile, according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, even if the electronic device (100) rotates the camera or controls the focal length of the camera lens as described above, the conditions that the camera's angle of view must satisfy may not be satisfied. Specifically, the electronic device (100) may analyze an image captured by the camera to determine whether the conditions that the camera's angle of view must satisfy are satisfied in the image captured by the camera. For example, when the camera's angle of view should include the user's entire body, at least a portion of the user's entire body may not be included in the camera's angle of view. In this case, the electronic device (100) may control the display (130) to display a UI that guides the user's movement so that the user's entire body can be included in the camera's angle of view. For example, the electronic device (100) may control the display (130) to display a UI that includes text such as "Please move forward 50 cm." Accordingly, when the user's position changes, the electronic device (100) may control the display (130) to display a UI corresponding to the changed user's position.

[0147] Meanwhile, when the ground (10) is as illustrated in FIG. 14, the ground (10) in the image captured by the camera (200) located at the top of the display (130) may be displayed as illustrated in FIG. 15. And, when the ground (10) is as illustrated in FIG. 14, the ground (10) in the image captured by the camera (200) located at the top of the display (130) may be displayed as illustrated in FIG. 16. That is, depending on the installation position of the camera (200), the image captured by the camera may be displayed in a distorted manner. At this time, if the user is included in the image captured by the camera, at least a part of the user's entire body may be displayed in a distorted manner. The degree of image distortion may correspond to the shooting angle of the camera (200). That is, the greater the shooting angle of the camera (200), the greater the degree of image distortion.

[0148] FIG. 15 is a drawing for explaining an image captured by a camera installed on the top of an electronic device (100) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0149] Referring to FIG. 15, an image (1510) of a user (30) captured by a camera installed on the top of an electronic device (100) may be displayed in a distorted manner. In this case, the user's (30) upper body may be displayed long and the user's lower body may be displayed short.

[0150] Accordingly, the electronic device (100) can correct the distortion of the image (1510) captured by the camera and display it on the display (130). The electronic device (100) can correct the distortion of the image (1510) captured by the camera of the user (30) and display the image (1520) with the distortion corrected on the display (130). At this time, the corrected image (1520) can correspond to the image captured by the camera from the front of the user (30).

[0151] FIG. 16 is a drawing for explaining an image captured by a camera installed at the bottom of an electronic device (100) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0152] Referring to FIG. 16, an image (1610) of a user captured by a camera installed at the bottom of an electronic device (100) may be displayed in a distorted manner. In this case, the user's upper body may be displayed as short, and the user's lower body may be displayed as long.

[0153] Accordingly, the electronic device (100) can correct the distortion of the image (1610) captured by the camera and display it on the display (130). The electronic device (100) can correct the distortion of the image (1610) captured by the camera of the user (30) and display the image (1620) with the distortion corrected on the display (130). At this time, the corrected image (1620) can correspond to the image captured by the camera of the user from the front of the user (30).

[0154] Meanwhile, an electronic device (100) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure can display at least one object overlapping an image captured by a camera of a user (30) on a display (130).

[0155] Specifically, the electronic device (100) can display at least one object at specific coordinates on a screen displayed on the display (130). At this time, the electronic device (100) can correct the coordinates at which at least one object is displayed on the screen in response to the degree of distortion in the image captured by the camera, and display at least one object on the display (130) screen according to the corrected coordinates.

[0156] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, an application running on an electronic device (100) may be an application in which a user moves a specific part of the body (e.g., an arm or a leg) toward a specific object on a screen in which an image captured by a camera is displayed through a display (130), and a processor (190) identifies whether the specific part of the user's body reaches the specific object. In this case, if the coordinates in which a specific object is displayed on the screen are not corrected, a problem may arise in which the user must move the body a distance greater or less than the distance corresponding to the distance displayed on the display (130).

[0157] For example, when a camera is installed at the top of an electronic device (100) to capture a user (30), an object may be displayed at the top of the screen displayed on the display (130). At this time, the distance that a specific part of the user's body moves to position the object displayed at the top of the screen displayed on the display (130) may be shorter than the distance that a specific part of the user's body moves to position the object displayed at the bottom of the screen displayed on the display (130).

[0158] Accordingly, the electronic device (100) according to the present disclosure can correct the coordinates of an object displayed on the display (130) to the extent that the image is distorted, and display the object on the display (130) according to the corrected coordinates (S270).

[0159] At this time, the electronic device (100) according to the present disclosure can correct the xy coordinates of the object in the image before correction based on information corresponding to the degree of image distortion. Then, based on the corrected xy coordinates, the electronic device (100) can display the object on the display (130) according to the corrected coordinates. The method in which the electronic device (100) according to the present disclosure corrects the display position of the object using the xy coordinates of the object has the effect of reducing the amount of computation when compared to a conventional image processing process.

[0160] FIG. 17 is a drawing for explaining a method for correcting coordinates of an object when a camera (200) is installed on the top of an electronic device (100) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0161] Referring to FIG. 17, the processor (190) can display objects (171, 172, 173, 174) by overlapping them in an image captured by a camera installed on the top of the electronic device (100).

[0162] At this time, the image (1710) displayed based on the coordinates before correction of the objects (171, 172, 173, 174) may be as illustrated in FIG. 17. At this time, the electronic device (100) may correct the coordinates of the objects (171, 172, 173, 174) and display an image (1720) in which the objects (171, 172, 173, 174) are displayed based on the corrected coordinates on the display (130).

[0163] Specifically, the processor (190) can correct the x-coordinate of an object (171, 172) located at the top of the image to move away from the center of the image. In addition, the processor (190) can correct the y-coordinate of an object (171, 172) located at the top of the image to move closer to the center of the image.

[0164] At this time, the processor (190) can correct the x-coordinate of the object (173, 174) located at the bottom of the image to become closer to the center of the image. In addition, the processor (190) can correct the y-coordinate of the object (173, 174) located at the bottom of the image to become closer to the center of the image.

[0165] At this time, the degree to which the x-coordinate of the object (131, 132, 133, 134) is corrected and the degree to which the y-coordinate of the object (131, 132, 133, 134) is corrected may correspond to the shooting angle (θ) of the camera. That is, as the shooting angle (θ) of the camera increases, the degree to which the x-coordinate is corrected and the degree to which the y-coordinate is corrected may increase.

[0166] And, the degree to which the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the object (131, 132) located at the top of the image are corrected may increase as the object (131, 132) is located at the top of the image. And, the degree to which the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the object (133, 134) located at the bottom of the image are corrected may increase as the object (133, 134) is located at the bottom of the image.

[0167] In addition, the processor (190) can control the display (130) to display an object (131, 132, 133, 134) whose x-coordinate and y-coordinate are corrected by overlapping it with an image captured by the camera (200).

[0168] FIG. 18 is a drawing for explaining a method for correcting coordinates of an object when a camera (200) is installed at the bottom of an electronic device (100) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0169] Referring to FIG. 18, the processor (190) can display objects (181, 182, 183, 184) by overlapping them in an image captured by a camera installed at the bottom of the electronic device (100).

[0170] At this time, the image (1810) displayed based on the coordinates before correction of the objects (181, 182, 183, 184) may be as illustrated in FIG. 18. At this time, the electronic device (100) may correct the coordinates of the objects (181, 182, 183, 184) and display an image (1820) in which the objects (181, 182, 183, 184) are displayed based on the corrected coordinates on the display (130). At this time, the electronic device (100) may correct the coordinates of the objects (181, 182, 183, 184) and display an image (1820) in which the objects (181, 182, 183, 184) are displayed based on the corrected coordinates on the display (130).

[0171] Specifically, the processor (190) can correct the x-coordinate of the object (181, 182) located at the top of the image to become closer to the center of the image. In addition, the processor (190) can correct the y-coordinate of the object (181, 182) located at the top of the image to become closer to the center of the image.

[0172] In addition, the processor (190) can correct the x-coordinate of the object (183, 184) located at the bottom of the image to move away from the center of the image. In addition, the processor (190) can correct the y-coordinate of the object (183, 184) located at the bottom of the image to move closer to the center of the image.

[0173] At this time, the degree to which the x-coordinate of the object (181, 182, 183, 184) is corrected and the degree to which the y-coordinate of the object (181, 182, 183, 184) is corrected may correspond to the shooting angle (θ) of the camera. That is, as the shooting angle (θ) of the camera increases, the degree to which the x-coordinate is corrected and the degree to which the y-coordinate is corrected may increase.

[0174] And, the degree to which the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the object (181, 182) located at the top of the image are corrected may increase as the object (131, 132) is located at the top of the image. And, the degree to which the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the object (183, 184) located at the bottom of the image are corrected may increase as the object (133, 134) is located at the bottom of the image.

[0175] In addition, the processor (190) can control the display (130) to display an object (181, 182, 183, 184) whose x-coordinate and y-coordinate are corrected by overlapping it with an image captured by the camera (200).

[0176] Meanwhile, according to the above, the electronic device (100) can individually perform an operation of correcting the degree of distortion of a displayed image and displaying the corrected image on the display (130), and an operation of correcting the position coordinates of an object in the distorted image and overlapping and displaying the distorted image and the object whose position coordinates have been corrected. However, this is only one embodiment, and the electronic device (100) according to the present disclosure can also perform the two operations described above together.

[0177] That is, the electronic device (100) can control the display (130) to display an object at a display position corrected based on the shooting angle of the camera in an image processed to correspond to the shooting angle of the camera.

[0178] Specifically, the electronic device (100) can correct the distortion of an image captured by a camera installed on one side of the electronic device (100) based on information corresponding to the degree of distortion of the displayed image, and display the image with the distortion corrected on the display (130). In addition, the electronic device (100) can control the display (130) to correct the position coordinates of an object in an image captured by a camera installed on one side of the electronic device (100) based on information corresponding to the degree of distortion of the image, and to display the object with the position coordinates corrected by overlapping it with the image with the distortion corrected.
