The following describes a software environment to which the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application. For example, applications such as a system setup application, a system chat application, and a system camera application. And the third-party setting application, the third-party camera application, the third-party chatting application and other application programs.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the image processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the image processing method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The following describes the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the flowchart of the image processing method shown in fig. 2. Wherein, although the logical order of the image processing methods provided by embodiments of the present invention is shown in a method flow diagram, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different than here. For example, the image processing method illustrated in fig. 2 may include S201 to S205:

s201, the electronic equipment displays a first editing interface, the first editing interface comprises M image areas indicated by the target arrangement template, and N first images are displayed on the N image areas in the first editing interface.

Wherein, each image area in the N image areas displays a first image, and the first images displayed on different image areas are different. Specifically, N is a positive integer less than or equal to M.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first editing interface may be an interface in a gallery application in the electronic device.

Optionally, the N image regions in the first editing interface are N image regions of the M image regions.

It is to be understood that, in the case where the electronic device automatically fills the M image areas with images, the electronic device may fill the image areas in the M image areas at the front display positions with images, and then fill the image areas at the rear display positions with images.

It should be noted that the electronic device fills an image in an image area, i.e., displays an image on the image area. In the embodiment of the invention, in order to clearly illustrate the relationship between the image area and the image, different descriptions are adopted at different positions.

For example, the target arrangement template may be a three-square grid, a six-square grid, a nine-square grid, or the like, and of course, other templates may also be used, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It is to be understood that the target layout is specifically for indicating the display positions and display sizes of the M image areas.

For example, in the case where the target arrangement template is a three-grid, the target arrangement template includes 3 image regions therein. At this time, the target layout is used to indicate that the 3 image areas are arranged in display positions of a row and three columns arranged from left to right on the screen of the electronic device in sequence, and the display sizes of the 3 image areas are the same.

For another example, in the case where the target arrangement template is a six-grid, the target arrangement template includes 6 image regions therein. At this time, the target layout is used to indicate that the 6 image areas are arranged on the screen of the electronic device in the display positions of two rows and three columns which are arranged from left to right, from top to bottom in sequence, and the display sizes of the 6 image areas are the same.

As another example, in the case where the target arrangement template is a squared figure, 9 image regions are included in the target arrangement template. At this time, the target layout is used to indicate that the 9 image areas are arranged on the screen of the electronic device in display positions of three rows and three columns arranged from left to right, from top to bottom, and the display sizes of the 9 image areas are the same.

In the following embodiments, the image processing method provided by the embodiments of the present invention is described by taking an example in which the target arrangement template is a squared figure.

S202, the electronic equipment receives a first input.

Illustratively, the first input is for triggering an image on the M image areas indicated by the editing target arrangement template. Wherein the first input may be a user input on the M image areas.

It should be noted that the screen of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be a touch screen, and the touch screen may be configured to receive an input from a user and display a content corresponding to the input to the user in response to the input. The first input may be a touch screen input, a fingerprint input, a gravity input, a key input, or the like. The touch screen input is input such as a press input, a long press input, a slide input, a click input, a hover input (an input by a user near the touch screen) of a touch screen of the electronic device by the user. The fingerprint input is input by a user to a sliding fingerprint, a long-time pressing fingerprint, a single-click fingerprint, a double-click fingerprint and the like of a fingerprint recognizer of the electronic equipment. The gravity input is input such as shaking of the electronic equipment in a specific direction, shaking of the electronic equipment for a specific number of times and the like by a user. The key input corresponds to a single-click input, a double-click input, a long-press input, a combination key input, and the like, of a user for a key of a power key, a volume key, a Home key, and the like of the electronic device. Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the manner of the first input, and may be any realizable manner. For example, the first input is a user's drag input of an image on the M image areas.

S203, responding to the first input, the electronic equipment edits at least one image in the N first images to obtain a target image array.

Optionally, the electronic device may edit some or all of the N first images.

The images in the target image array are images arranged according to the target arrangement template.

Obviously, the target image array includes the N first images.

And S204, the electronic equipment receives a second input.

In particular, the second input may be an input that the user triggers the communication application to send the array of target images.

Optionally, the first editing interface may include a sharing control for triggering the electronic device to send the target image array through a communication application. The second input may be an input to a sharing control in the first editing interface.

Similarly, for the description of the input mode of the second input, reference may be made to the description of the input mode of the first input in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here. For example, the second input is a click input to a sharing control in the target editing interface.

And S205, responding to the second input, and sending the target image array by the electronic equipment.

Specifically, the electronic device may transmit the target image array through a communication application therein.

Optionally, the image processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, after S205, may further include S206:

s206, the electronic equipment displays the target image array on the sending interface according to the target arrangement template.

The sending interface is used for displaying images to be sent or sent by the electronic equipment.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can visually display the sent images in the target image array to the user, for example, visually display the sequence of the images arranged according to the target arrangement template in the target image array.

Optionally, the electronic device may display a plurality of sharing identifiers on the screen in response to the second input, where each sharing identifier is used to indicate an application or a plug-in of an image to be shared. Specifically, after the user inputs the sharing identifier, which is used for indicating the communication application, from the plurality of sharing identifiers, the electronic device may display a sending interface of the communication application, automatically fill the target image array into the sending interface, and then trigger the communication application to send the target image array by the user.

Alternatively, the second input may include an input that the user triggers the electronic device to select the communication application (e.g., an input that triggers the electronic device to display a transmission interface of the communication application), and an input that triggers the electronic device to transmit the array of target images via the communication application.

The electronic device sends the target image array through the communication application, and may send the target image array to the social platform through the communication application for the electronic device, or send the target image array to a corresponding communication object (i.e., one or more contacts in the communication application).

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3 (a), the editing interface of the gallery application displayed by the electronic device includes image regions P1-P9, i.e., the target arrangement template is a squared figure. Among them, images 1 to 9 are displayed in the image regions P1 to P9, respectively. Specifically, image region P1 through image region P9 are arranged in the order of three rows and three columns, images 1 through 9 are arranged in the order of three rows and three columns in image region P1 through image region P9, and image regions P1 through P9 have the same size (i.e., display size) in image region P1 through image region P9. At this time, the target image array is images 1 to 9 arranged in three rows and three columns. At this point, M equals 9.

The images 1 to 9 may all be user-defined images selected by the user for controlling the electronic device, or the images 1 to 9 include part of the user-defined images selected by the user for controlling the electronic device, and also include part of the preset filling images. That is, the N first images are all or part of the images 1 to 9.

For example, the image 2, the image 4, the image 5, the image 6, and the image 8 among the images 1 to 9 may be the above-described N first images, i.e., N is equal to 5. At this time, the first input is input by the user to the image 2, the image 4, the image 5, the image 6, and the image 8.

Specifically, the editing interface shown in fig. 3 (a) further includes a sharing control S1, and after the user inputs the sharing control S1 (which is recorded as input 1), as shown in fig. 3 (b), the electronic device may display a transmission interface of the communication application, where the transmission interface includes images 1 to 9 arranged in three rows and three columns. Specifically, the sending interface further includes a sending control Y. Subsequently, after the user inputs the sending control Y (denoted as input 2), the electronic device may send images 1 to 9 arranged in the order of three rows and three columns through the communication application on the social platform. At this time, the second input includes input 1 and input 2.

It should be noted that the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may display a first editing interface including M image areas indicated by the target arrangement template, where N first images are displayed on N image areas of the M image areas. Subsequently, at least one of the N first images may be edited by the first input, resulting in the target image array. Further, through the second input, the target image array may be transmitted. Therefore, under the condition that the user needs to share the images in the target image array, the user does not need to select the images one by one, edit the images in real time and then send the images; the images in the target image array obtained by editing in the first image editing interface according to the target arrangement template can be quickly and conveniently selected and sent as a whole. For example, the electronic device may edit the N first images according to the target arrangement template in the first editing interface of the gallery application without editing the N first images through a special third-party cropping application, so that the user may quickly and conveniently control the electronic device to edit the N first images in the gallery application without opening multiple applications. In addition, since the electronic device can transmit the target image array in the gallery application through the communication application, there is no need to control the communication application to call up images from the gallery application one by one to edit and transmit the images in real time. Namely, the user can trigger the electronic device to quickly and conveniently edit and share the image through the integrated operation of the gallery application and the communication application.

Optionally, the image processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S207 before S203, and the corresponding S203 may be implemented by S203 a:

s207, the electronic equipment displays K preset filling images on K image areas in the first editing interface.

And each image area in the K image areas displays a preset filling image, and the preset filling images displayed on different image areas are different.

Specifically, the electronic device may display K preset pad images on K image areas provided in the gallery application.

S203a, the electronic device edits at least one of the N first images, and edits at least one of the K preset filling images to obtain the target image array.

Wherein K is a positive integer, and the sum of K and N is M. I.e., N is less than M.

For example, in conjunction with fig. 3, the K preset filler images may include image 1, image 3, image 7, and image 9, i.e., K, etc. 4.

Optionally, the preset filler image may be customized or preset by a user.

For example, the preset filler image may be a blank image or an image including a preset pattern (e.g., a star pattern).

Optionally, the first editing interface may include a "fill" control, which is used to trigger the electronic device to fill a preset fill image in the target arrangement template. Specifically, the "fill" control is used to trigger the electronic device to display one or more different preset fill images in the target editing interface, so that the user can select a preset fill image to be filled into the target arrangement template from the one or more different preset fill images.

It can be understood that, in the case that the user triggers the electronic device to arrange the images in the target arrangement template, the user may need to have a certain interest on the arranged images, for example, the four corners of the nine-grid are blank images so that the images in the nine-grid are in the shape of a cross. In addition, in the case that the electronic device arranges the images in the target arrangement template, the number of the images selected by the user in a customized manner is less than the number of the images in the target arrangement template, and the user needs to fill the electronic device with a preset filling image in the free image area of the target arrangement template, which is not filled with images, for example, fill the last free image area in the target arrangement template with a preset filling image.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can provide the preset filling image aiming at the target arrangement template, so that a user does not need to search a specific image (such as a blank image) from a large number of images in the gallery application and then fill the specific image into the image area in the target arrangement template, and therefore, the user can quickly and conveniently trigger the electronic equipment to fill the preset filling image into the target arrangement template.

Alternatively, the user may trigger the electronic device to perform a mode of editing the image by touching one or more images in the gallery application. Illustratively, the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes, before the above S201, S208-S211:

and S208, the electronic equipment receives a third input under the condition that the P second images are displayed.

And each of the P image areas displays a second image, the second images displayed on different image areas are different, and P is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device can display the P second images in the gallery application.

Similarly, for the description of the input mode of the third input, reference may be made to the description of the input mode of the first input in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here in the embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, P is equal to 1. In a case where the electronic device displays an image in the gallery application, that is, displays an image preview interface, the user may perform a long press input (that is, a third input) on one image in the gallery application.

Optionally, in the event that the user inputs one or more images in the gallery application, the electronic device may display a "delete" control and an "add multiple images to template" control on the screen. The 'deleting' control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to delete the image selected by the electronic equipment. The control of adding a plurality of images to the template is used for triggering the electronic equipment to display the target editing interface so as to trigger the electronic equipment to edit the image selected by the electronic equipment through a certain arrangement template.

S209, in response to the third input, the electronic device displays at least one arrangement template identifier, one arrangement template identifier indicating one image arrangement template, and one image arrangement template includes a plurality of image areas.

Specifically, the electronic device may provide a plurality of arrangement templates, such as the three-grid, six-grid, or nine-grid, and at least one of the arrangement template identifiers may be an identifier of each of the three-grid, six-grid, or nine-grid.

S210, the electronic device receives a fourth input of a target arrangement template identifier in the at least one arrangement template identifier.

The target arrangement template mark is used for indicating the target arrangement template.

Similarly, for the description of the input mode of the fourth input, reference may be made to the description of the input mode of the first input in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here in the embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, the fourth input is a user input of an identification of a squared figure.

And S211, responding to the fourth input, the electronic equipment displays a second editing interface, wherein the second editing interface comprises M image areas pointed by the target arrangement template, and P second images are displayed on P image areas in the second editing interface.

Specifically, the second editing interface and the first editing interface are the same editing interface displayed by the electronic device at different times, that is, the second editing interface is an editing interface in the gallery application.

The P second images are images in the N first images, and P is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, a plus sign may be displayed on a free image area on the target arrangement template in the second editing interface, and is used to indicate that no image is displayed on the image area and trigger the electronic device to fill the image area with an image.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4 (a), after a user inputs (denoted as input 3) image 1 in an image preview interface of a gallery application displayed for an electronic device, the electronic device may display a "delete" control S3 and a "add multiple images to template" control S4 on the image preview interface, as shown in fig. 4 (b). After the user inputs (noted as input 4) the "add multiple images to template" control S4, the electronic device may display a template selection interface including a "three grid" control S5, a "six grid" control S6, a "nine grid" control S7, and an expansion control S8, as shown in (c) of fig. 4. The three-grid control S5, the six-grid control S6 and the nine-grid control S7 are respectively used for indicating a three-grid arrangement template, a six-grid arrangement template and a nine-grid arrangement template. In addition, the expansion control S8 is used for triggering the electronic device to select other arrangement templates provided by the electronic device and saving some arrangement templates customized by the user. At this time, the fourth input may include input 3 and input 4.

Subsequently, after the user inputs the "squared" control S7 shown in (c) of fig. 4, as shown in (d) of fig. 4, the electronic device displays an editing interface including image regions P1 to P9, including image 1 on image region P1, and not displaying images on image regions P2 to P9. In this case, the image region P1 is the above P regions, and the image 1 is the above P images, that is, the number of P image regions is 1.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may provide at least one arrangement template identifier, so that a user inputs a target arrangement template identifier in the at least one arrangement template identifier to trigger the electronic device to start editing the N first images in the second editing interface according to the target arrangement template. In addition, the electronic equipment can provide a plurality of arrangement template identifications, so that the electronic equipment can edit the images selected by the user in different arrangement templates, and the diversity of arrangement and image editing of the electronic equipment is improved.

It will be appreciated that after the user triggers the electronic device to begin displaying images on image areas in the target arrangement template, i.e. filling images on image areas in the target arrangement template, the user may also trigger the electronic device to add images to free image areas in the target arrangement template to select the M first images. Optionally, the image processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include S212 after S211 and before S201, and the corresponding S201 may be implemented by S201 a:

s212, the electronic device receives Q fifth inputs.

Similarly, for the description of the input mode of each fifth input, reference may be made to the description of the input mode of the first input in the foregoing embodiment, and details of this description are not repeated in the embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, each of the Q fifth inputs is used to trigger the electronic device to fill a user-defined image in a free image area in the second arrangement template.

Optionally, in the process of inputting a fifth input by the user, after the user inputs a free image area in the second arrangement template (for example, inputs a plus sign identifier in the free image area) (denoted as input 5), the electronic device may display an image selection list. Subsequently, the user selects an input of an image from the image selection list (denoted as input 6), so that the electronic device determines the image as the image to be filled into the free image area. In particular, the image selection list may be a list that normally displays images in a gallery application, such as an image selection list that displays a group of images recently captured in the gallery application. At this time, one fifth input may include both the input 5 and the input 6 described above.

S201a, the electronic device responds to the Q fifth inputs and displays a first editing interface, and Q third images are displayed on Q image areas in the first editing interface.

Wherein, the Q image areas are the image areas except the P image areas in the N image areas; the Q third pictures are the pictures other than the P second pictures among the N first pictures.

Specifically, one third image is displayed on each of the Q image areas, and the third images displayed on different image areas are different.

Illustratively, in conjunction with (d) in fig. 4, after the user inputs the plus sign flag in the image region P2 shown in (a) in fig. 5 (i.e., the input 5 described above), the electronic device may display an image selection list including images 2 to 9, as shown in (b) in fig. 5. Subsequently, after the user inputs the image 2 shown in (b) in fig. 5 (i.e., the above-described input 6), the electronic apparatus may display the image 2 on the image area P2 in the editing interface without displaying images on the image areas P3 to P9, as shown in (c) in fig. 5.

Similarly, the description of the electronic device for filling an image in each of the image region P3 from the image region P3 to the image region P9 shown in (c) in fig. 5 may refer to the example in fig. 5, which is not described again in this embodiment of the present invention. Illustratively, after the user triggers the electronic device to sequentially fill images 2 to 9 in image regions P3 to P9 shown in (c) of fig. 5, respectively, the electronic device may display an editing interface as shown in (a) of fig. 3.

In the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the electronic equipment displays the images in the target arrangement template, the electronic equipment can also display the list of the images in the gallery application so as to support a user to view the images in the gallery application in real time, for example, the user can add the images in the gallery application to the image area in the target arrangement template conveniently. Optionally, the target editing interface further includes a target image list. Wherein the target image list includes Q third images, and a fifth input is an input of dragging one of the third images from the target image list to one of the image areas.

The user's slide-left input to the target image list may trigger the electronic device to update the thumbnail of the image displayed in the target image list, such as updating the thumbnail displayed as the most recently captured image.

Alternatively, the list of target images may be located below the image area in the target arrangement template, such as below the squared figure template.

Illustratively, in conjunction with (d) in fig. 4, as shown in fig. 6, the electronic device displays a target image list 61 including thumbnails for images 2 below the image regions P1 through P9 in the editing interface. Subsequently, the user drags the thumbnail of image 2 from the target image list 61 to the input of the image area P2 (i.e., a fifth input), triggering the electronic device to display the editing interface as shown in (c) of fig. 5, i.e., to display image 2 on the image area P2.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device can display the target image list in the editing interface (such as the first editing interface or the second editing interface), so that when the electronic device arranges the images in the target arrangement template, a user can conveniently and intuitively view the images in the gallery application through the target image list. Moreover, the user can quickly and conveniently trigger the electronic equipment to fill the images into the target arrangement template through dragging and inputting the image thumbnails in the target image list to the image positions in the target arrangement template, so that the rapidity and the convenience for selecting and arranging the images by the electronic equipment are improved.

Wherein, when the target operation is operation 1, the sixth input may be an input of an image area of a different image area by a user, such as a continuous slide input of an image on the different image area.

Exemplarily, in conjunction with fig. 3, after the user makes a sixth input on the image 3 and the image 6 shown in (a) of fig. 3, as shown in fig. 7, the electronic device may merge the image 3 and the image 6 into the image 10.

Therefore, the diversity of the images arranged in the target arrangement template by the electronic equipment can be improved, and the user experience is improved.

Operation 2: and splitting the image of the target image area in the target arrangement template.

Wherein, when the target operation is operation 1, the sixth input may be an input of an image area of the image area by a user, such as a long press input of an image on a different image area.

Optionally, the pressing duration of the sixth input corresponds to the number of image areas into which the image area is divided. For example, when the pressing time length of the sixth input is in a certain time length range (for example, the time length between 1 second and 1.5 seconds), the sixth input is used for triggering the electronic device to divide the image on one image area into two images; when the pressing time length of the sixth input is in a certain time length range (for example, the time length between 1.5 seconds and 2.5 seconds), the sixth input is used for triggering the electronic equipment to divide the image on one image area into three images.

For example, in conjunction with fig. 3, in a case where a user performs a press input on an image 3 shown in (a) of fig. 3 and the pressing time period is 1.2 seconds, the electronic apparatus may divide the image 3 into two images arranged up and down.

Operation 3: and adjusting the image area where the images in the target arrangement template are located.

Wherein, when the target operation is operation 3, the sixth input may be an input in which the user drags the image on a different image area.

Wherein one function control corresponds to one target function.

In addition, the electronic device may display the one or more function controls in a one-level menu, or may display the one or more function controls in a multi-level menu. For example, the electronic device can display an extension control in the upper right corner of the editing interface in the gallery application, and the next level of the extension control is one or more functionality controls, i.e., the extension control is used for expanding the one or more functionality controls.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target function is any one of the following: cutting an image, rotating the image, adjusting image tone, sharpening the image, adjusting image color temperature, adjusting image saturation, adjusting image brightness, adjusting image contrast, adding an image filter, and filling the image in a free image area in M image areas indicated by the target arrangement template.

In addition, the image filter can also comprise image special effects, such as displaying specific patterns in an image display area, such as rainbow, love, apple and the like.

Alternatively, in a case where a partial image in the target arrangement template is selected by the user, the electronic device may perform an operation of a target function instruction on the partial image, such as adding a filter to the partial image. In the case where all the images in the target arrangement template are selected by the user, the electronic device may perform an operation of target function indication on the all the images, such as adding a filter to the all the images in their entirety, such as adding a filter including a rainbow pattern to the all the images in their entirety.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 8, the editing interface displayed by the electronic device includes an editing control K1, a filter control K2, a filling control K3, a sharing control K4, and an expanding control K5. The editing control K1 is used to provide cropping images, rotating images, adjusting image tone, sharpening images, adjusting image color temperature, adjusting image saturation, adjusting image brightness, and adjusting image contrast.
