Obtaining a digital image tagged with corrected image direction information includes capturing and storing a digital image of a scene defined by a field of view of a lifelog camera (10) used to capture the image. A forward-facing direction (28) of a user of the lifelog camera is identified, the forward-facing direction within the field of view of the lifelog camera. A component of the image that contains image data corresponding to a portion of the scene containing the forward-facing direction of the user is also identified. The digital image is then tagged with the identified component.

A method and an apparatus for managing image files by displaying backup information are provided. The method includes: displaying at least one image file; reading a file tag of the at least one image file to determine whether there is backup information; and when there is the backup information as a result of the determination, displaying a predetermined object associated with the backup information.

An electronic device, while in a first media acquisition mode, captures media and performs scene recognition. If the scene recognition meets first criteria, the media is displayed as a sequence of images acquired by the camera in temporal proximity to a single activation of a shutter button of the device at the first time. The sequence of images includes a plurality of images acquired by the camera prior to detecting activation of the shutter button at the first time, a representative image that represents the sequence of images and was acquired by the camera after one or more other images in the sequence of images, and a plurality of images acquired by the camera after acquiring the representative image. If the scene recognition does not meet the first criteria, the media is displayed as a single image in temporal proximity to the activation of the shutter button.

A portable device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed, which senses an image including a pattern code. The mobile device includes a camera unit configured to sense an image; a display unit configured to display the image; a sensor unit configured to detect an input signal and transmit the detected input signal to a processor; and the processor configured to control the display unit, the camera unit and the sensor unit, wherein the processor further configured to: provide an image capturing interface, wherein the image capturing interface displays the image sensed by the camera unit and an image capturing trigger for storing the image, simultaneously display a pattern code trigger for storing information of a pattern code in the image capturing interface only when the pattern code is recognized from the image.

An imaging apparatus includes an optical system, an imaging unit that captures a subject image which is input via the optical system and generates an image signal, an image processor that performs predetermined processing on the image signal generated by the imaging unit and generates image data, a display unit that displays an image represented by the image data, and a control unit that controls the image processor and the display unit. The control unit records moving image data and generates, from all or a part of a plurality of frame images composing recorded moving image data, a still image based on user's specifying of an image or an area of the image. The display unit displays one frame image among the plurality of frame images composing the recorded moving image data, as a setting image for the user to specify an image or an area of the image, and adds highlighting to an in-focus portion in the setting image.

A device for recording filterable content tagged to a location or object and available when a user is notified they are proximate to relevant filterable content. The filterable content preferably includes a location, a product or a service purchase fact, a coupon, an advertisement, a promotional offer, a public transportation advisement, a travel advisement, a review, a moment proximity alert, a monetary amount, a map of locations where moments were created by a specific user, a time certification, a resume, a biography, a headshot, a moment “like” notification, a riddle, a challenge, textual material, an audio file, a video file, or a multimedia file.

An imaging apparatus includes a storing unit configured to, when recording pieces of image data obtained by an imaging unit on a plurality of recording media, respectively temporarily store the pieces of image data obtained by the imaging unit in a plurality of storage regions corresponding to the plurality of recording media, a recording control unit configured to perform control to respectively record the pieces of image data temporarily stored in the plurality of storage regions on the plurality of recording media corresponding to the plurality of storage regions, and a display control unit configured to perform control to display information indicating a use status of a storage region on a display unit, wherein the display control unit performs control to display information indicating the use status only with respect to one storage region out of the plurality of storage regions.

A unit including a processing unit configured to generate display data about at least one of a state and setting of the unit, and a transmission unit configured to transmit information, wherein the unit is communicably connected to another unit including a display unit, and wherein the processing unit causes the transmission unit to transmit the display data to the other unit based on a notification that the display unit is in a displayable state, from the other unit.

An image processing apparatus, comprises a recording control unit configured to perform control to, when extracting a frame from a RAW file in which RAW data of a plurality of frames is recorded and recording the extracted frame as a RAW still image file, record RAW data of the extracted frame and information indicating that predetermined image processing has been applied to the RAW data into the RAW still image file.

A device for recording filterable content tagged to a location or object and available when a user is notified, they are proximate to relevant filterable content curated according to an augmented estate. The filterable content preferably includes a location, a product or a service purchase fact, a coupon, an advertisement, a promotional offer, a public transportation advisement, a travel advisement, a review, a moment proximity alert, a monetary amount, a map of locations where moments were created by a specific user, a time certification, a resume, a biography, a headshot, a moment “like” notification, a riddle, a challenge, textual material, an audio file, a video file, or a multimedia file.
