Patent ID: 8842167

Claim:
A mobile terminal comprising: a first camera and a second camera configured to respectively obtain a left eye image and a right eye image of a scene; a display configured to display a three-dimensional (3D) image; a memory configured to store preset 3D image modes, wherein each mode of the preset 3D image modes has a unique preset depth value distribution of divisional sections, and at least one of the divisional sections is designated as a preset convergence point; and a controller controlling the first camera, the second camera, the memory, and the display, wherein the controller is configured to: set a plurality of divisional sections for each of the left eye image and the right eye image; determine a depth value distribution of each of the plurality of divisional sections; select a 3D image mode among the preset 3D image modes stored in the memory by comparing the determined depth value distribution with the preset depth value distribution, the preset depth value distribution of the selected 3D image mode corresponding to the determined depth value distribution; designate at least one of the plurality of divisional sections as a convergence point based on the preset convergence point of the selected 3D image mode; shift a view field of at least one image within the left and right eye images such that view fields of the left and right eye images included in the at least one of the plurality of divisional sections designated as the convergence point overlaps with each other; generate the 3D image by overlapping the left eye image and the right eye image with each other; and cause the display to display the generated 3D image.
