[0033] The communication module (190) may support the establishment of 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 the performance of communication through the established communication channel. The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one 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 module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0034] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). The NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The wireless communication module (192) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate. The wireless communication module (192) can support various technologies for securing performance in a high-frequency band, such as beamforming, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beam-forming, or large scale antenna. The wireless communication module (192) can support various requirements specified in the electronic device (101), an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (104)), or a network system (e.g., the second network (199)).

In this case, at least one antenna suitable for a communication method used in a communication network, such as the first network (198) or the second network (199), may be selected from the plurality of antennas by, for example, the communication module (190). A signal or power may be transmitted or received between the communication module (190) and an external electronic device through the selected at least one antenna. In some embodiments, in addition to the radiator, another component (e.g., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC)) may be additionally formed as a part of the antenna module (197).

[0036] According to various embodiments, the antenna module (197) may form a mmWave antenna module. According to one embodiment, the mmWave antenna module may include a printed circuit board, an RFIC disposed on or adjacent a first side (e.g., a bottom side) of the printed circuit board and capable of supporting a designated high frequency band (e.g., a mmWave band), and a plurality of antennas (e.g., an array antenna) disposed on or adjacent a second side (e.g., a top side or a side side) of the printed circuit board and capable of transmitting or receiving signals in the designated high frequency band.

[0037] At least some of the above components can be interconnected and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data) with each other via a communication method between peripheral devices (e.g., a bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface)).

[0038] According to one embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device (101) and an external electronic device (104) via a server (108) connected to a second network (199). Each of the external electronic devices (102 or 104) may be the same or a different type of device as the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations executed in the electronic device (101) may be executed in one or more of the external electronic devices (102, 104, or 108). For example, when the electronic device (101) is to perform a certain function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device (101) may, instead of or in addition to executing the function or service itself, request one or more external electronic devices to perform the function or at least a part of the service. One or more external electronic devices that receive the request may execute at least a portion of the requested function or service, or an additional function or service related to the request, and transmit the result of the execution to the electronic device (101). The electronic device (101) may process the result as is or additionally and provide it as at least a portion of a response to the request. For this purpose, cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing technology may be used, for example.

[0039] Electronic devices according to the various embodiments disclosed in this document may take various forms. Electronic devices may include, for example, portable communication devices (e.g., smartphones), computer devices, portable multimedia devices, portable medical devices, cameras, wearable devices, or home appliances. Electronic devices according to the embodiments of this document are not limited to the aforementioned devices.

[0040] FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of an electronic device according to various embodiments.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 2, the electronic device (101) may include a memory (130), a display (160), and a processor (120).

[0042] The memory (130) (e.g., the memory (130) of FIG. 1) may store data, algorithms, programs, commands, etc. that perform functions of the electronic device (101) (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1). Commands, etc. stored in the memory (130) may be loaded into the processor (120) and executed. For example, the memory (130) may store content, information on objects included in the content, and / or an object-generating artificial intelligence model. As an example, the content may include an image, and the image may be a moving image and / or a still image. For example, the object-generating artificial intelligence model may include a plurality of artificial neural network layers. The artificial neural network may be one of a deep neural network (DNN), a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), a deep belief network (DBN), a bidirectional recurrent deep neural network (BRDNN), deep Q-networks, or a combination of two or more of the above, but is not limited to the examples described above. The object-generating artificial intelligence model may be included in an artificial intelligence computing module included in the electronic device (101). For example, the object-generating artificial intelligence model may be included in an artificial intelligence computing module included in a separate server (e.g., the server (108) of FIG. 1). The object-generating artificial intelligence model may be a logic, firmware, software, and / or hardware module that can perform operations using the artificial intelligence computing module. The object-generating artificial intelligence model may be a model trained by machine learning or deep learning.As an example, object-generating artificial intelligence models can generate images using various computational models such as GAN (generative adversarial network), VQ-GAN (vector quantization GAN), VAE (variational auto-encoder), VQ-VAE, Diffusion, and Diffusion-GAN models.

[0043] The GAN model is an artificial neural network used in generative modeling. It can generate fake data similar to real data using a generator. The GAN model can train the generator by comparing and evaluating the images generated by the generator with the original images using a discriminator. The VAE model is a probabilistic artificial neural network that can encode data into a probability distribution in a latent space. The VAE model can act as a generator. The VAE model can extract and sample features (e.g., eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) that best represent the input image (X) through an encoder to generate a latent vector (Z). The VAE model can generate new data that is most similar to X from Z through a decoder. Compared to the GAN model, the VAE model has an additional encoder / decoder and can train the latent vector, encoder, and decoder all at once. The diffusion model can perform a forward process (diffusion process) that gradually adds noise to the data to completely turn it into noise, and conversely, a reverse process that gradually restores the noise to create data.

[0044] The display (160) can display a video area and a timeline area. For example, the video area can include a video (or content) including an object. The timeline area can include a timeline (e.g., time period) of an object included in the video. For example, the object can include a person, an animal, a plant, a building, a car, the sky, clouds, the sun, a mountain, and / or a river included in the video. The timeline of an object can correspond to an object included in the video. For example, if the video includes a first object, a second object, and a third object, the timeline of the object can include a timeline of the first object, a timeline of the second object, and a timeline of the third object. The timeline of the object can include information from the time the object appears in the video to the time it disappears from the video. For example, if an object (e.g., a bus) appears at 15 minutes and 14 seconds into the video and disappears from the video at 17 minutes and 30 seconds, the object's timeline may include time information from 15 minutes and 14 seconds to 17 minutes and 30 seconds. The object's timeline may include an indicator representing the object. For example, if the video includes a man (object), the timeline area may include a timeline for the man (object). In addition, the man's timeline may include an indicator (e.g., a man icon, a thumbnail, an image, text) indicating that it is a timeline corresponding to the man.

[0045] The processor (120) can control each component of the electronic device (101). The electronic device (101) can include one or more processors (120). For example, the processor (120) can correspond to multiple processors that collectively perform multiple functions by dividing them among the processors.

[0046] The processor (120) can display a video area and a timeline area through the display (160). For example, the processor (120) can control the display (160) to display an image including an object on a first portion (e.g., a video area) of the display (160) and to display a timeline of the object on a second portion (e.g., a timeline area).

[0047] The processor (120) can identify an object included in an image. For example, the object may be an original object included when the image was created, or a generated object generated using an object generation artificial intelligence model. The processor (120) can analyze the image and obtain information on the time at which the object appears and disappears from the image. The processor (120) can generate a timeline of the object based on the identified object and the obtained time information. For example, the image may include multiple objects as a whole (e.g., from the start time to the end time). The processor (120) can identify the multiple objects and obtain time information for each of the identified multiple objects. The processor (120) can generate a timeline corresponding to each object based on the identified multiple objects and the obtained time information.

[0048] The processor (120) can display the generated timeline in the timeline area of ​​the display (160). As an example, the processor (120) can simultaneously display an image area including an image and a timeline area including a timeline of an object on the display (160). As an example, the processor (120) can display an image area including an image on the display (160). In addition, when the processor (120) receives a timeline display command from a user, it can display the timeline area together with the image area on the display (160). The timeline can include an indicator indicating a corresponding object.

[0049] The processor (120) may display the timeline of an object on the display (160) by dividing it according to the properties of the object. For example, the properties of the object may include original properties, additional properties, and / or changed properties. The original properties may be properties indicating an object included when the image was created and not changed (or edited). The additional properties may be properties indicating an object added after the image was created. The changed properties may be properties indicating an object that has been changed from an original object to a created object. For example, the processor (120) may display the timelines on the display (160) by dividing them into a timeline of an object including original properties, a timeline of an object including additional properties, and / or a timeline of an object including changed properties. For example, an image (or content) including an added object and / or a changed object may be a modified image (or modified content). The processor (120) may display a timeline area including a plurality of timeline areas on a second portion of the display (160). The processor (120) may display multiple timelines related to the modified image in a timeline area. The processor (120) may display the timeline of an object in a corresponding timeline area among the multiple timeline areas according to the properties of the object. As an example, the processor (120) may include the timeline of an object including original properties in a first timeline area, include the timeline of an object including additional properties in a second timeline area, and include the timeline of an object including changed properties in a third timeline area.

[0050] As an example, the properties of an object may include a delete property. The delete property may be an property indicating a deleted object. For example, the processor (120) may delete an object included in an image according to a user's command. The processor (120) may not display the deleted object in the image, but may display a timeline corresponding to the object including the delete property. The processor (120) may display the timeline of the object including the delete property in a timeline area separately from the timelines of objects including other properties (e.g., original properties, additional properties, and / or changed properties). For example, the processor (120) may display the timeline of the deleted object in a different location of the second part of the display (160). As an example, the processor (120) may include the timeline of the deleted object (or the timeline of the object including the delete property) in a fourth timeline area.

[0051] If the image is a video, the number of objects included in the image may vary depending on the viewpoint. For example, a first viewpoint of the image may include two objects. Since the number of timelines corresponds to the number of objects, the timeline area of ​​the first viewpoint may include two timelines. A second viewpoint of the image may include ten objects. The timeline area of ​​the second viewpoint may include ten timelines. The number of timelines of objects that can be displayed in the timeline area may be fixed. For example, the number of timelines that can be displayed in the timeline area may be five. If the number of objects (or timelines of objects) included in a specific viewpoint of the image exceeds the number displayed (displayable) in the timeline area, the processor (120) may divide the image into multiple areas. The processor (120) may group timelines for objects included in each area into groups and display the group of grouped timelines on the display (160). As another example, the processor (120) may divide an image into multiple regions and display the multiple regions on the display (160). When one of the multiple regions is selected, the processor (120) may display only a timeline for an object included in the selected region in the timeline region.

[0052] The processor (120) may receive an input from a user to select an object. For example, the selected object may include an original object (e.g., an object including original properties) or a created object (e.g., an object including changed properties or an object including additional properties). Upon receiving an input to select an object, the processor (120) may apply an image effect to the timeline of the selected object and / or the first selected object. For example, the image effect may include a color change, a border change, and / or a highlight display. The processor (120) may receive a zoom in or zoom out input on the timeline of the object. For example, the zoom in input may include a pinch out gesture, and the zoom out input may include a pinch in gesture. Upon receiving a zoom in or zoom out input, the processor (120) may zoom in or zoom out the image centered on the object corresponding to the timeline.

[0053] The processor (120) can change the selected object into a generated object generated by the object generation artificial intelligence model and control the display (160) to display the generated object instead of the selected object. For example, when an object included in an image is selected, the processor (120) can display a plurality of candidate objects generated by the object generation artificial intelligence model on the display (160). When one of the displayed plurality of candidate objects is selected, the processor (120) can change the object included in the image into the selected object among the plurality of candidate objects.

[0054] As an example, the processor (120) may display a list of objects included in an image on the display (160) according to a user input. For example, the list of objects may include all identified objects. The processor (120) may distinguish objects according to their properties and display a list of objects including the distinguished objects on the display (160). For example, the properties of the objects may include original properties, additional properties, change properties, and / or deletion properties. When an object included in the list of objects is selected, the processor (120) may move the image displayed in the image area to the time at which the selected object appears. The objects included in the list of objects may appear and / or disappear at different times. For example, a first object may appear at 11 minutes and 10 seconds and disappear at 13 minutes and 25 seconds. A second object may appear at 12 minutes and 50 seconds and disappear at 17 minutes and 10 seconds. When the first object from the list of objects is selected, the processor (120) can move the displayed image to the 11 minute 10 second point.

[0055] The processor (120) may display a management menu with objects included in a list of objects. When the management menu is selected, the processor (120) may display a plurality of candidate objects generated by an object generation artificial intelligence model and related to the object on the display (160). When one generated object among the displayed plurality of candidate objects is selected, the processor (120) may change the object in the image to the selected generated object without moving the image to the point where the object appears.

[0056] FIGS. 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, and 3e are drawings illustrating a process of editing an object according to various embodiments.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 3A, a video area (11) and a timeline area (12) are illustrated. An image may be displayed in the video area (11). A timeline of an object included in the image may be displayed in the timeline area (12). For example, the image may be a moving image, and an image at a specific point in time may be displayed in the video area (11). A timeline of an object included in the currently displayed image may be displayed in the timeline area (12). In addition, the timeline area (12) may include an indicator (23) indicating the current point in time of the image.

[0058] For example, if the image currently displayed in the image area (11) includes 7 objects, a timeline corresponding to each of the 7 objects may be displayed in the timeline area (12). The timeline of the object may include information about the time at which the object appears and disappears in the image. As an example, the currently displayed image may be a video at 12 minutes and 30 seconds, and the currently displayed image may include an object of a man (1a). The object of the man (1a) may appear at 30 seconds in the image and disappear at 13 minutes and 20 seconds. The timeline area may display a timeline (1b) corresponding to the object of the man (1a). The timeline of the object of the man (1a) may include information from 30 seconds, when the object of the man (1a) appears, to 13 minutes and 20 seconds, when the object of the man (1a) disappears.

[0059] The electronic device (101) can receive an input for selecting an object included in an image. For example, the input for selecting an object can be input on an object included in an image or can be input on a timeline.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 3b, as an example, a screen in which a man (1a) object is selected is illustrated. When an object is selected, the electronic device (101) may display an object change item (25) on the object included in the image and display an image effect on the timeline of the object. For example, the object change item (e.g., indicator) (25) may be displayed in the form of a button or icon. The image effect may include color changes, border changes, and / or highlighting of the timeline. As an example, when the man (1a) object is selected, the electronic device (101) may display an object change item (25) on the man (1a) object and display an image effect on the timeline (1b) of the man object. For example, the object change item (25) may be displayed on the timeline of the corresponding object. As an example, when an object of a man (1a) is selected, the electronic device (101) can display an object change item (25) on the timeline (1b) of the object of the man and display an image effect on the object of the man (1a).

[0061] Referring to Fig. 3c, a list of candidate objects (27) for changing the selected object is displayed. The objects included in the image can be changed by selecting an object change item (25) displayed on the object or by selecting the object's timeline.

[0062] For example, when a first user input (e.g., long press) is received in the timeline (1b) of the object of a man (1a), the electronic device (101) may display a list of selectable candidate objects (27). For example, the list of candidate objects (27) may include generated objects generated by an object generation artificial intelligence model. The number of generated objects included in the list of candidate objects (27) may be one or more. When one generated object (29) among the generated objects included in the list of candidate objects (27) is selected, the electronic device (101) may change the object of the man (1a) to the selected generated object (29). For example, when the object of the man (1a) is in a standing position and the selected generated object (29) is in a walking position, the electronic device (101) may change the object of the standing man (1a) included in the image to the generated object (29) of the walking man.

[0063] For example, when a second user input (e.g., short press) is received in the object change item (1a) displayed on the object of the man (1a) or in the timeline (1b) of the object of the man (1a), the electronic device (101) can change the object of the man (1a) to a generated object generated by an object generation artificial intelligence model. The electronic device (101) can immediately change the object of the man (1a) to a generated object of another form of the man without displaying the candidate object list (27). The electronic device (101) can sequentially change the object of another form of the man included in the candidate object whenever the second user input is received in the object change item (25). For example, when the object change item (1a) is selected, the electronic device (101) can change the object of the man (1a) to the first generated object. Once again, when a second user input is received in the object change item (1a), the electronic device (101) can change the changed first created object into a second created object again. As an example, the electronic device (101) can receive text and / or voice input from the user while an object is selected, and generate a prompt for changing the object based on the received text and / or voice input to create a new object. For example, the electronic device (101) can obtain information for creating an object from the received text and / or voice input, and generate a prompt including the obtained information. The electronic device (101) can create a new object based on the generated prompt, and change an existing object to the generated object.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 3D, a screen in which an object included in an image has been changed is illustrated. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a generated object of a walking man (2a) that has been changed instead of an object of a standing man (1a) according to a user's input. The electronic device (101) may change an indicator (33) indicating an object of the timeline (2b) to a corresponding form according to the change of the object. For example, when the object is changed to a generated object of a walking man (2a), the indicator (33) may also be changed to the form of a walking man. The electronic device (101) may maintain an object change item (31) on the object and maintain an image effect on the timeline (1b) until the object change is finally confirmed. When a user input is received in any area of ​​the image area (11) or the timeline area (12), the electronic device (101) may confirm the change to the currently displayed generated object and delete the object change item (31) and the image effect. As an example, when the electronic device (101) changes an existing object into a created object, the electronic device (101) may provide a timeline editing UI that can change the time at which the object starts to be displayed and the time at which it disappears. For example, when a touch input (e.g., a long touch input) is received on the timeline, the electronic device (101) may provide a timeline editing UI. The timeline editing UI may include an interval adjustment bar at the end of the timeline that can adjust the interval of the timeline. The interval adjustment bar at the end of the timeline can be moved left and right by a user input. The time of the timeline (e.g., the time at which the object appears, the time at which the object disappears, and / or the interval of time at which the object is displayed) can be adjusted through a user input that adjusts (or moves) the interval adjustment bar. For example, the timeline editing UI may provide a function that can edit the distance and / or direction in which the object moves.As an example, the timeline editing UI may provide information about the distance and / or direction in which the object moves. The timeline editing UI may provide an editing window for editing the distance and / or direction and / or a direction icon for selecting a direction. The user may refer to the information about the movement distance and direction of the object provided in the timeline editing UI and edit the movement distance and / or direction of the object. As an example, the electronic device (101) may change the movement distance and / or direction of the object based on the distance and / or direction input into the editing window. As an example, the electronic device (101) may receive an input from the user for selecting a direction icon and change the movement direction of the object based on the received input. As an example, the electronic device (101) may receive a touch input (e.g., a drag touch input) from the user and change the movement distance and / or direction of the object based on the received touch input.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 3E, a timeline area (12) is illustrated in which timelines are divided and displayed according to the properties of objects. The electronic device (101) can divide the timelines of objects according to the properties of the objects and display them in the timeline area (12). For example, the properties of the objects may include original properties, change properties, addition properties, and / or deletion properties. As an example, as illustrated in FIG. 3E, the objects of the sun, the bus, the woman, and the building may include original properties. The man may include change properties, the tree may include addition properties, and the bird may include deletion properties. The electronic device (101) can display the timelines of the sun, the bus, the woman, and the building, which include original properties, in the first area (13a) (or, original property area) of the timeline area (12). The electronic device (101) can display a timeline of a male object including a change attribute in a second area (13b) (or a change attribute area) of the timeline area (12), and can display a timeline of a tree object including an additional attribute in a third area (13c) (or an additional attribute area) of the timeline area (12). In addition, the electronic device (101) can display a timeline of a bird object including a delete attribute in a fourth area (13d) (or a delete attribute area) of the timeline area (12). For example, a timeline area (e.g., the fourth area (13d)) corresponding to a deleted object (e.g., a bird) can be displayed in a form that can be distinguished from other timeline areas (e.g., the first area (13a), the second area (13b), and the third area (13c)). As an example, a timeline area corresponding to a deleted object may be distinguished from other timeline areas by color, shading, transparency, line thickness, line type, and / or line color.As an example, a timeline corresponding to a deleted object may be distinguished from timelines contained in other timeline areas by color, shading, transparency, line thickness, line type, and / or line color.

[0066] FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b are drawings illustrating screens displayed over time according to various embodiments.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 4A, a screen displaying an image of point a is illustrated. For example, the electronic device (101) may display an image of point a in the image area (11), and display a timeline of objects included in the displayed image and an indicator (23) indicating point a of the image in the timeline area (12). The electronic device (101) may receive an input for point b using the indicator (23) indicating the point of view of the image. The electronic device (101) may jump (or discontinuously move) the image from the image of point a to the image of point b according to the received input. As an example, when the electronic device (101) receives a first touch input (e.g., a short touch input, a single tap touch input) from a user for point b, the electronic device may jump the image from point a to the image of point b.

[0068] As an example, the electronic device (101) can play (or continuously move) an image from point a to point b according to a received input. The electronic device (101) can continuously move an indicator (23) indicating a point in time of the image from point a to point b according to the playback of the image. As an example, when the electronic device (101) receives a second touch input (e.g., a long touch input, a double-tap touch input, a drag touch input) from a user for point b, the electronic device (101) can play an image from point a to point b.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 4B, a screen displaying an image at point b is illustrated. The electronic device (101) can display an image at point b in the image area (11) and move an indicator (23) indicating the point of view of the image to point b. An object (e.g., a bus, a woman, a building, a bird, a tree) corresponding to a timeline where the indicator (23) indicating the image at point b intersects can be displayed in the image area (11).

[0070] FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, and 5e are diagrams illustrating management and editing of objects using an object list according to various embodiments.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 5A, an electronic device (101) displaying an image at point c is illustrated. The electronic device (101) can display an item (35) displaying a list of objects included in the image. The item (35) displaying the list of objects can be displayed in a preset area among the image area (11) and / or the timeline area (12).

[0072] Referring to FIG. 5B, an object list (37a) according to an example is illustrated. When an item (35) displaying a list of objects is selected, the electronic device (101) can display an object list (37a) including information about objects included in the image. For example, the information about the object can include an indicator representing the object, a category, a type, information about the time it appears, information about the time it disappears, and / or a management menu (item). The indicator representing the object can be displayed in the form of an icon, thumbnail, image, or text of the object. The category and type of the object can be information according to the major and minor classifications of the object. For example, in the case of a male object, the category can be classified as a person and the type as a man. In the case of a sun object, the category can be classified as a background and the type as a sun. The electronic device (101) can change the order of the information about the object or change the object into a created object using the management menu (item).

[0073] Referring to FIG. 5c, an object list (37b) is illustrated in which object information is displayed and classified according to the object's properties. The electronic device (101) can display the object information in the object list (37b) by classifying it according to the object's properties. For example, the object's properties may include an original property, a change property, an addition property, and / or a deletion property. As an example, the sun object, the bus object, the woman object, and the building object may include an original property. The man object may include a change property, and the ginkgo object may include an addition property. The sparrow object may include a deletion property. The electronic device (101) can display the sun object's information, the bus object's information, the woman object's information, and the building object's information, which include the original property, in the first area (15a) (or the original property area) of the object list (37b). The electronic device (101) can display information of a man's object including a change attribute in a second area (15b) (or a change attribute area) of the object list (37b), and can display information of a ginkgo tree's object including an additional attribute in a third area (15c) (or an additional attribute area) of the object list (37b). In addition, the electronic device (101) can display information of a sparrow's object including a delete attribute in a fourth area (15d) (or a delete attribute area) of the object list (37b).

[0074] For example, when information (39) of a female object displayed in the object list (37b) is selected, the electronic device (101) can move the image to a point in time where the female object is included. For example, when a management menu included in information (39) of the female object is selected, the electronic device (101) can display a list of candidate objects that can change the female object into a created object.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 5D, an image with a moved display point is illustrated. For example, as described in FIG. 5A, the electronic device (101) may display an object list (37a, 37b) while displaying an image at point c. When information (39) of a female object included in the object list (37a, 37b) is selected, the electronic device (101) may move the image to the point where the object of the female (3a) first appears in the image. As illustrated in FIG. 5D, the object of the female (3a) may first appear at point d of the image. The electronic device (101) may move the image displayed at point c to point d and display it.

[0076] For example, the timeline of an object may include information about the object. The information about the object may include an indicator representing the object, a category, a type, information about the time it appears and information about the time it disappears. The indicator representing the object may be displayed in the form of an icon, a thumbnail, an image or text of the object. As illustrated in FIG. 5D , as an example, a timeline (3b) of an object of a woman (3a) may be displayed in a timeline area. The timeline (3b) of the object of the woman (3a) may include information such as an indicator representing the woman (3a), a category (or type) of person, an appearance time of 4 minutes 2 seconds, and a disappearance time of 9 minutes 14 seconds. As an example, if the number of timelines of objects included at a specific point in time in the image exceeds the number displayed (displayable) in the timeline area, the processor (120) may provide a scroll UI (user interface) (17) to display the exceeded timelines.

[0077] Referring to FIG. 5E, a candidate object list (41) is illustrated. For example, when a management menu included in the information (39) of a female object is selected, the electronic device (101) may display a candidate object list (41) that can change the female object into a created object. For example, the candidate object list (41) may include created objects created by an object creation artificial intelligence model. As an example, the candidate object list (41) may include template images representing various commonly applicable forms within a category (e.g., person / female) to which the object belongs. When one of the template images is selected, the electronic device (101) may create a new created object based on the object image and the selected template image. When one of the created objects included in the candidate object list (41) is selected, the electronic device (101) may change the female object (3a) into the selected created object.

[0078] FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C, and 7 are drawings illustrating a method of displaying multiple objects and timelines corresponding to the multiple objects within content according to various embodiments.

[0079] Referring to FIG. 6A, an image divided into multiple regions is illustrated. The image may include multiple objects. In addition, the electronic device (101) may display a timeline corresponding to each of the multiple objects in the timeline region (12). The number of timelines of objects included in the image may be greater than the number of timelines that can be displayed in the timeline region (12). If the number of timelines of objects included in the image exceeds a preset number (e.g., the number of timelines that can be displayed in the timeline region (12), the electronic device (101) may display a timeline based on the position of the object included in the image. For example, the electronic device (101) may divide the image into multiple regions. The divided multiple regions may not be displayed. The electronic device (101) may group timelines for objects included in each region among the divided multiple regions and display the grouped groups in the timeline region (12). As an example, the electronic device (101) can divide the image into a first region (43a), a second region (45a), a third region (47a), and a fourth region (49a). The first region (43a) may include four objects, the second region (45a) may include two objects, the third region (47a) may include three objects, and the fourth region (49a) may include two objects. The electronic device (101) can group objects included in the image by region. In addition, the electronic device (101) can group timelines of objects included in each region. For example, the electronic device (101) can display a first group (43b) including a timeline of objects included in a first area (43a), a second group (45b) including a timeline of objects included in a second area (45a), a third group (47b) including a timeline of objects included in a third area (47a), and a fourth group (49b) including a timeline of objects included in a fourth area (49a) in the timeline area (12).

[0080] Referring to FIG. 6b, a screen is illustrated in which one of the groups included in the timeline (12) is selected. When one of the displayed groups is selected, the electronic device (101) can display a timeline of an object included in the selected group in the timeline area (12). As an example, the first group (43b) can include a timeline of an object of the sun, a timeline of an object of a bus, a timeline of an object of a man, and a timeline of an object of a woman. When the first group (43b) in the timeline area (12) is selected, the electronic device (101) can display a timeline of an object of the sun, a timeline of an object of a bus, a timeline of an object of a man, and a timeline of an object of a woman included in the first group (43b) in the timeline area (12).

[0081] For example, the electronic device (101) can receive a user input for zooming in or out on the timeline of an object. As an example, the user input for zooming in can include a pinch-out gesture, and the user input for zooming out can include a pinch-in gesture. The electronic device (101) can zoom in or out on an image centered on an object corresponding to the timeline on which the user input for zooming in or out is received. As an example, as illustrated in FIG. 6B, the electronic device (101) can receive a user input for zooming in on the timeline (5b) corresponding to the object of a woman (5a) included in the image. The electronic device (101) can perform an operation corresponding to the received user input.

[0082] Referring to FIG. 6c, an image enlarged according to a user input is illustrated. When the electronic device (101) receives a user input to enlarge the image on the timeline (5b) of the female object, the image can be enlarged with the female object (5a) as the center. As an example, when the electronic device (101) receives a user input to reduce the image on the timeline (5b) of the female object, the image can be reduced with the female object (5a) as the center.

[0083] Referring to FIG. 7, an image divided into a plurality of regions is illustrated according to an example. If the number of timelines of a plurality of objects included in the image exceeds the number that can be displayed in the timeline region (12), the electronic device (101) may divide the image into a plurality of regions. The electronic device (101) may display the divided regions. For example, the electronic device (101) may divide the image into region A (51), region B (53), region C (55), and region D (57), and display each of the divided regions. When one of the divided regions is selected, the electronic device (101) may display a timeline of an object included in the selected region in the timeline region (12). For example, when region A (51) is selected among the divided regions, the electronic device (101) may display timelines corresponding to the sun object, the bus object, the man object, and the woman object included in region A (51) in the timeline region (12).

[0084] For example, the electronic device (101) may receive a user input for zooming in or out on an object's timeline. The electronic device (101) may zoom in or out on an image centered on an object corresponding to the timeline where the zooming in or out user input was received.

[0085] Figure 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method of editing content according to various embodiments.

[0086] In the following examples, the operations may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily sequential. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0087] According to one embodiment, steps 810 to 840 may be understood to be performed in a processor (e.g., processor (120) of FIG. 2) of an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 2).

[0088] Referring to FIG. 8, the electronic device (101) may display content and a timeline area (810). For example, the electronic device (101) may display content including a first object on a first portion of the display (160), and display a timeline area related to the content on a second portion of the display (160). As an example, the content may include an image. For example, the first object included in the image (content) may include an original object and / or a generated object generated by an artificial intelligence model. The image may include at least one object.

[0089] The timeline area may include a timeline (e.g., a time period) corresponding to the first object and a first indicator representing the first object. For example, the timeline corresponding to the first object may be the interval (period) from the time the first object appears in the image to the time it disappears from the image.

[0090] As an example, the electronic device (101) can display timelines in a timeline area by dividing them according to the properties of an object. For example, the properties of an object may include original properties, additional properties, and / or change properties. The electronic device (101) can display timelines of objects including original properties, timelines of objects including additional properties, and / or timelines of objects including change properties in a timeline area by dividing them. As an example, the electronic device (101) can delete an object included in an image according to a user input. The electronic device (101) can delete an object from an image, but can assign a delete property to the deleted object and maintain information about the deleted object. In addition, the electronic device (101) can display the timeline of the deleted object in a timeline area by dividing it from the timelines of objects including other properties.

[0091] For example, an image may include multiple objects. If the number of timelines for the multiple objects exceeds the number that can be displayed in the timeline area, the electronic device (101) may divide the image into multiple regions. As an example, the electronic device (101) may not display region division information. The electronic device (101) may group timelines for objects included in each region among the multiple divided regions and display the grouped groups in the timeline area. As another example, if the number of timelines for the multiple objects exceeds the number that can be displayed in the timeline area, the electronic device (101) may divide the image into multiple regions and display the multiple divided regions. When one region among the multiple regions is selected, the electronic device (101) may display a timeline for an object included in the selected region. As an example, the electronic device (101) may not divide the image, but may provide a scroll UI to display the excess timelines.

[0092] For example, when a user input to zoom in or out on the timeline of an object is received, the electronic device (101) can zoom in or out on the area of ​​the image where the object is located.

[0093] The electronic device (101) can receive a user input (820). For example, the electronic device (101) can receive a user input related to a timeline or a first indicator. As an example, the electronic device (101) can receive a user input on a timeline of a first object included in an image or a first object included in a timeline area. When the user input is received, the electronic device (101) can display an image effect on the selected first object and / or the timeline of the selected first object. For example, the image effect can include a color change, a border change, and / or a highlight display.

[0094] The electronic device (101) can generate modified content using an artificial intelligence model (630). For example, the electronic device (101) can generate modified content by replacing a first object with a second object generated using an artificial intelligence model, at least partially based on user input.

[0095] For example, when a first object is selected, the electronic device (101) may display a candidate object list including candidate objects generated by an artificial intelligence model. When one of the candidate objects (e.g., a second object) is selected, the electronic device (101) may change (replace) the first object included in the image with the second object. As an example, when the first object included in the image is selected, the electronic device (101) may display an object change item (indicator) on the first object. For example, the object change item may be displayed in the form of a button or icon. When the object change item is selected, the electronic device (101) may immediately change the first object to the second object without displaying the candidate object list.

[0096] For example, the electronic device (101) can display a list of objects according to a user's selection. When a management menu is selected from information about an object included in the object list, the electronic device (101) can display a list of candidate objects including a plurality of candidate objects generated by an artificial intelligence model. When a second object is selected from among the plurality of candidate objects, the electronic device (101) can change the first object to the second object. The electronic device (101) can display the modified content on the first portion of the display (160) (840).

[0097] Various embodiments of this document facilitate the identification of attributes of objects related to editing. Furthermore, various embodiments of this document facilitate the editing of objects.

[0098] As an example, an electronic device (101) may include a display (160), at least one processor (120), and a memory (130) that stores instructions executed by the at least one processor (120). The instructions stored in the memory (130) may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to display content including a first object in a first portion through the display (160) and to display a timeline area related to the content in a second portion. The timeline area may include a timeline corresponding to the first object and a first indicator indicating the first object. The instructions may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to receive a user input related to the timeline or the first indicator. The instructions may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to generate modified content using an artificial intelligence model by replacing the first object with a second object generated using an artificial intelligence model, at least partially based on the user input. The above command may be set to cause the electronic device (101) to display the modified content on the first portion through the display.

[0099] As an example, the command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to, when the first object is replaced with the second object, replace the first indicator with a second indicator representing the second object and display the second indicator.

[0100] As an example, the command may cause the electronic device (101) to display a plurality of timeline areas related to the modified content in the second portion, wherein the plurality of timeline areas may be individually configured to include the timeline and another timeline corresponding to the second object.

[0101] As an example, the command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to delete the first object from the content based on another user input deleting the first object, and to display a timeline corresponding to the deleted first object at a different location in the second portion.

[0102] As an example, the content may include a plurality of first objects. The command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to divide the content into a plurality of regions when the number of timelines corresponding to the plurality of first objects exceeds the number that can be displayed in the timeline region. The command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to group timelines corresponding to at least one first object included in each region among the plurality of first objects, and to display the group including the timeline corresponding to the at least one first object.

[0103] As an example, the content may include a plurality of first objects. The command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to divide the content into a plurality of areas and display the plurality of areas when the number of timelines corresponding to the plurality of first objects exceeds the number that can be displayed in the timeline area. The command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to display a timeline corresponding to at least one first object included in the selected area when one of the plurality of areas is selected.

[0104] As an example, the command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to enlarge an area of ​​content where the first object is located when a zoom in input is received on a timeline corresponding to the first object.

[0105] As an example, the command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to, upon receiving an input for selecting the first object, display an image effect on at least one of the selected first object and a timeline corresponding to the selected first object.

[0106] As an example, the command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to, upon receiving an input for selecting the first object, display at least one candidate object generated by the artificial intelligence model. The command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to, upon selecting the second object from among the at least one candidate object, replace the first object with the second object to generate the modified content.

[0107] As an example, the command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to display a list of at least one first object included in the content according to a user input. The command may be configured to cause the electronic device (101) to display the content at a point in time corresponding to a start point of a timeline of the selected object when one of the at least one first object included in the list is selected.

[0108] As an example, a method of editing content may include displaying content including a first object on a first portion of a display (160), and displaying a timeline area related to the content on a second portion of the display (160). The timeline area may include a timeline corresponding to the first object and a first indicator indicating the first object. The method may include receiving a user input related to the timeline or the first indicator. The method may include generating modified content using an artificial intelligence model by replacing the first object with a second object generated using an artificial intelligence model, at least partially based on the user input. The method may include displaying the modified content on the first portion.

[0109] As an example, the method may further include an action of replacing the first indicator with a second indicator representing the second object and displaying the second indicator when the first object is replaced with the second object.

[0110] As an example, the action of displaying the timeline area may display a plurality of timeline areas related to the modified content in the second portion. The plurality of timeline areas may individually include the timeline and another timeline corresponding to the second object.

[0111] As an example, the method may further include an action of deleting the first object from the content based on another user input deleting the first object. The action of displaying the timeline area may display a timeline corresponding to the deleted first object at a different location in the second portion.

[0112] As an example, the content may include a plurality of first objects. The method may further include an operation of dividing the content into a plurality of areas if the number of timelines for the plurality of first objects exceeds the number that can be displayed in the timeline area. The operation of displaying the timeline area may include grouping timelines corresponding to at least one first object included in each area among the plurality of first objects into a group, and displaying the group including the timeline corresponding to the at least one first object.

[0113] As an example, the content may include a plurality of first objects. The method may further include, if the number of timelines for the plurality of first objects exceeds the number that can be displayed in the timeline area, dividing the content into a plurality of areas and displaying the plurality of areas. The operation of displaying the timeline area may include, when one of the plurality of areas is selected, displaying a timeline corresponding to at least one first object included in the selected area.

[0114] As an example, the method may further include an operation of enlarging an area of ​​content where the first object is located when a zoom in input is received on a timeline corresponding to the first object.

[0115] As an example, the method may further include, when receiving an input for selecting the first object, an action of displaying an image effect on at least one of the selected first object and a timeline corresponding to the selected first object.

[0116] As an example, the method may further include, upon receiving an input for selecting the first object, displaying at least one candidate object generated by the artificial intelligence model. The operation for generating the modified content may include, upon selecting the second object from among the at least one candidate object, replacing the first object with the second object to generate the modified content.

[0117] As an example, instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having recorded thereon a program for performing a method of editing content may perform an operation of displaying content including a first object on a first portion of a display and displaying a timeline area related to the content on a second portion of the display. The timeline area may include a timeline corresponding to the first object and a first indicator indicating the first object. The instructions may perform an operation of receiving a user input related to the timeline or the first indicator. The instructions may perform an operation of generating modified content using an artificial intelligence model by replacing the first object with a second object generated using an artificial intelligence model, at least partially based on the user input. The instructions may perform an operation of displaying the modified content on the first portion.
