The disclosure relates to a method of providing a guide map, and an electronic device supporting the method.
An electronic device such as a smart phone may enlarge or reduce a preview image displayed on a display. For example, the electronic device may enlarge or reduce the preview image displayed on the display, based on one of a plurality of magnifications.
The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the disclosure.
However, in a case in which the electronic device shakes (e.g., when a tremor of a hand is detected) in a situation where the preview image is enlarged by at least a designated magnification (e.g., 20.0× magnification), a phenomenon may occur in which an area other than an area intended to be enlarged is displayed on the display. For example, in a case in which the electronic device shakes slightly (e.g., 3 mm) in a state where the preview image is enlarged by 100 magnification, another area outside the area originally intended to be enlarged may be disposed on the display.
Aspects of the disclosure are to address at least the above-mentioned problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, an aspect of the disclosure is to provide a method of providing a guide map and an electronic device supporting the method, so that the guide map is provided to display which part of an enlarged preview image displayed on a display corresponds to an image obtained through a camera, when the electronic device shakes in a situation where the preview image is enlarged by at least a designated magnification.

For example, the electronic device 200 may display image data obtained through the camera 202 as the first preview image on the display 201. The electronic device 200 may enlarge the first preview image according to one of a plurality of magnification ranges. In a case in which the first preview image is enlarged based on one magnification in the first magnification range, the electronic device 200 may display a guide map indicating a location of some areas of the enlarged first preview image in a designated area of the display 201. As another example, the electronic device 200 may detect the shaking through the sensor 205, in a situation where the first preview image is enlarged based on one of the plurality of magnification ranges.

While the second preview image is displayed, the processor 204 may display the first guide box, which indicates the location of the second preview image, on the guide map. The processor 204 may enrage the second preview image to the third preview image, based on one magnification in the second magnification range. In a case in which the second preview image is enlarged to the third preview image, the processor 204 may change the first guide box, which indicates the location of the second preview image on the guide map, to the second guide box having a fixed size. The processor 204 may display a location of the third preview image through the second guide box.

According to yet another embodiment, the processor may use the sensor to obtain direction information related to a direction in which the electronic device moves or shakes and distance information related to a distance in which the electronic device moves or shakes. The processor may identify a designated image, based on information on one magnification in the first magnification range of the second preview image 811, an area of the second preview image 811 enlarged by the 84.9× magnification, the direction information, and the distance information. The designated image may be the preview image originally intended to be enlarged by the processor with the 84.9× magnification in a state where the electronic device shakes.
The processor may apply a first graphic effect to first guide boxes 815 and 816 displaying the different image and designated image displayed on the guide map 814. The processor may match the first guide box 815 displaying the different image to the first guide box 816 displaying the designated image on the guide map 814 (see 814f). In a case in which the first guide box 815 displaying the different image is matched to the first guide box 816 displaying the designated image, the processor may display, through the display, the second preview image corresponding to the designated image and enlarged based on the 84.9× magnification in the first magnification range in a state in which the electronic device does not shake. The first graphic effect may be a graphic effect for guiding the matching of the different image to the designated image in the guide map 814.
According to yet another embodiment, the processor may display the first guide box 815 or 816 displaying the different image and the designated image by differently applying color thereto (see 814a).

Various embodiments as set forth herein may be implemented as software (e.g., the program 140) including one or more machine-readable computer-executable instructions that are stored in a storage medium (e.g., internal memory 136 or external memory 138) may be readable by a machine (e.g., the electronic device 101). For example, a processor (e.g., the processor 120) of the machine (e.g., the electronic device 101) may invoke at least one of the one or more machine-readable computer-executable instructions stored in the storage medium, and execute it, with or without using one or more other components under the control of the processor. This allows the machine to be operated to perform at least one function according to the at least one machine-readable computer-executable instructions invoked. The one or more machine-readable computer-executable instructions may include a code generated by a complier or a code executable by an interpreter. The machine-readable storage medium may be provided in the form of a non-transitory storage medium. Wherein, the term “non-transitory” simply means that the storage medium is a tangible device, and does not include a signal (e.g., an electromagnetic wave), but this term does not differentiate between where data is semi-permanently stored in the storage medium and where the data is temporarily stored in the storage medium.
According to yet another embodiment, a method according to various embodiments of the disclosure may be included and provided in a computer program product. The computer program product may be traded as a product between a seller and a buyer. The computer program product may be distributed in the form of a machine-readable storage medium (e.g., compact disc read only memory (CD-ROM)), or be distributed (e.g., downloaded or uploaded) online via an application store (e.g., PlayStore™), or between two user devices (e.g., smart phones) directly. If distributed online, at least part of the computer program product may be temporarily generated or at least temporarily stored in the machine-readable storage medium, such as memory of the manufacturer's server, a server of the application store, or a relay server.
According to various embodiments, each component (e.g., a module or a program) of the above-described components may include a single entity or multiple entities. According to various embodiments, one or more of the above-described components may be omitted, or one or more other components may be added. Alternatively or additionally, a plurality of components (e.g., modules or programs) may be integrated into a single component. In such a case, according to various embodiments, the integrated component may still perform one or more functions of each of the plurality of components in the same or similar manner as they are performed by a corresponding one of the plurality of components before the integration. According to various embodiments, operations performed by the module, the program, or another component may be carried out sequentially, in parallel, repeatedly, or heuristically, or one or more of the operations may be executed in a different order or omitted, or one or more other operations may be added.
While the disclosure has been shown and described with reference to various embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
