The present application is a 37 C.F.R. §1.53(b) continuation of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/593,306 filed Aug. 23, 2012, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/657,042 filed on Jun. 8, 2012, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0077353, filed on Jul. 16, 2012, the entire contents of all which are hereby incorporated by reference.
FIGS. 3A to 6 are diagrams illustrating a video editing method according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIGS. 7A to 8C are diagrams illustrating a video editing method according to another embodiment of the present invention;
FIGS. 11A to 15C are diagrams illustrating a detailed embodiment of a video editing method of the present invention;
Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, frames corresponding to locations at which the user inputs 20a and 20b are performed on the timeline interface 100 may be selected as the first and second frames 5a and 5b. According to another embodiment of the present invention, random access pictures nearest in time to frames corresponding to locations at which the user inputs 20a and 20b are performed on the timeline interface 100 may be selected as the first and second frames 5a and 5b.
Meanwhile, upon receiving the first and second user inputs 20a and 20b, the digital device 10 may display images of the frames 5a and 5b corresponding to the user inputs 20a and 20b on the display unit 12. Namely, in FIG. 2A, if the first user input 20a is received, the digital device 10 may display an image 25a of the first frame 5a corresponding to the first user input 20a on the display unit 12. In FIG. 2B, upon receiving the second user input 20b, the digital device 10 may display an image 25b of the second frame 5b corresponding to the second user input 20b on the display unit 12.
For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4A, the partial sequence 3 may include n frames during a playback duration of to. In this case, if the third user input 20c of sliding the editing interval 3 toward the second interval 134 is received as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the digital device 10 resets the second frame corresponding to the second indicator 120 to 5b_2. Then, the partial sequence 3 includes n2 (n2<n) frames, which is less than the number of frames prior to the third user input 20c, with respect to the same playback duration t0. Then, the partial sequence 3 has a slower playback speed than a playback speed prior to the third user input 20c. The digital device 10 of the present invention shortens the thickness of the editing interval 130 in order to indicate variation in the playback speed of the partial sequence 3. The thickness of the editing interval 130 may be shortened in proportion to the playback speed of the partial sequence 3. Meanwhile, the digital device 10 may display an image 25b_2 of the reset second frame 5b_2 on the display unit 12 in response to the third user input 20c.
FIG. 6 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the digital device 10 may reverse the editing interval 130 in response to the third user input 20c for rotating the editing interval 130. FIG. 6 shows a reversed state of the editing interval 130 illustrated in FIG. 5A through the third user input 20c. If the editing interval 130 is reversed, the digital device 10 adjusts the second indicator 120 such that it is adjacent to the first interval 132 of the timeline interface 100 and adjusts the first indicator 110 such that it is adjacent to the second interval 134 of the timeline interface 100. At this time, the digital device 10 may adjust the editing interval 130 after reversing the editing interval 130 so as to have the same thickness and length as before reversing the editing interval 130. The digital device 10 arranges frames of the partial sequence 3 in reverse playback order from the second frame 5b to the first frame 5a. Then the partial sequence 3 includes a reversed playback sequence from the second frame 5b to the first frame 5a. Meanwhile, the playback duration t0 of the reversed partial sequence 3 is the same as the playback time t0 of the partial sequence 3 prior to reversing the editing interval shown in FIG. 5A. That is, the reversed partial sequence 3 reversely plays n frames during a duration t0.
More specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 10B, if the handle interface 140 moves toward the timeline interface 100 by the third user input 20c, the thickness of the editing interval 130 is reduced. The digital device 10 enlarges the length of the editing interval 130 in correspondence to the reduced thickness of the editing interval 130. In this case, the digital device 10 may enlarge the length of the editing interval 130 in inverse proportion to the reduced thickness of the editing interval 130. Further, the digital device 10 changes the playback duration of the partial sequence 3 to t1, which is longer than a prior playback duration t0, in correspondence to the enlarged length of the editing interval 130. Accordingly, the playback speed of the partial sequence 3 becomes slow in proportion to the reduced thickness of the editing interval 130.
