Method and apparatus for displaying image of mobile communication terminal

摘要

Techniques are described for allowing a user to intuitively check an actual image captured by a camera, rather than to recognize information regarding a peripheral area (point of interest) on a map. An apparatus includes a camera module that accesses an image captured by a camera and detects a direction in which the camera points and a display unit that displays the captured image. The apparatus also includes a controller that detects a position of a point of interest (POI) corresponding to a keyword and indicates location information for the POI on the displayed image based on the direction information of the to camera, a current location, and the detected location of the POI.

1. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:
a camera configured to capture an image; a display unit configured to display the captured image; an input unit; and a controller configured to: determine a current location of the mobile communication terminal, determine a location of a point of interest (POI) corresponding to a keyword from the input unit, determine that the POI is located at a direction which is not displayed on the captured image based on the capturing direction of the camera, the current location of the mobile communication terminal, and the location of the POI, and indicate, on the captured image, a distance from the current location of the mobile communication terminal to the location of the POI and a direction of the POI, based on the determination that the POI is located at the direction which is not displayed on the captured image, wherein the controller is further configured to: determine that the POI is located out of a pre-set distance that is not displayed on the captured image, the pre-set distance corresponding to the capturing direction of the camera, display a notification window inquiring whether to display a photograph of the POI on the captured image, based on the determination that the POI is located out of the pre-set distance, receive, an input requesting display of the photograph of the POI through the input unit, and display the photograph of the POI on the captured image based on the input.
