  • Patent number: 8913877
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for outputting stereoscopic images in a mobile terminal are provided. The method includes entering a play control command for a stereoscopic video, searching for an I-frame (key frame) corresponding to a changed play position; determining, after decoding the found I-frame, whether the decoded I-frame is a left frame (L-frame) or a right frame (R-frame), adjusting, when the decoded I-frame is an R-frame, L-R sequencing, and outputting a stereoscopic image based on the adjusted L-R sequence. Hence, the mobile terminal may output a stereoscopic image in a manner that the stereoscopic effect intended by the content author is fully conveyed by the mobile terminal.
