  • Patent number: 9755999
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided that is performed by an electronic device. A display screen provides a first user interface to receive a first user input and to display user inputted content including a first representation of the first user input. An instruction to provide a second user interface is received. The display screen provides the second user interface together with the first user interface in response to the received instruction. A portion of the user inputted content is displayable in the second user interface in an enlarged size. A second user input is received via the second user interface. In response to the second user input, a second representation of the second user input is displayed in the second user interface. The user inputted content displayed in the first user interface is updated by adding the second representation in a displayed size smaller than a size used for displaying the second representation in the second user interface.

  • Patent number: 8279256
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal and method for proving a substitute image are provided, which automatically searches a substitute image suitable to a video call and transmits the substitute image to the opposite party. A user's image is automatically recorded during a video call, and tagged with information related to the time and situation of the recording, such as location information and time information. The tagged image is stored as a substitute image. When transmission of a substitute image is set while a video call is performed, a substitute image having situation information consistent with or similar to a corresponding situation is searched and then transmitted to the opposite party. Therefore, when a mobile communication terminal performs a video call in various situations, a substitute image suitable to a corresponding situation can be provided to an opposite terminal.
