The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that "/" in this context means "or", for example, A/B may mean A or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, and means that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. "plurality" means two or more than two.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "e.g.," an embodiment of the present invention is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

The terms "first" and "second," and the like, in the description and in the claims of the present invention are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order of the objects. For example, the first preset image and the second preset image, etc. are for distinguishing different inputs, rather than for describing a specific order of the preset images.

According to the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first image related to the target object can be displayed in the first area in the shooting preview picture through the first input of the user to the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture; wherein the display area of the target object in the shooting preview picture comprises the first area. Therefore, in a scene that the electronic device displays the shooting preview picture, the user does not need to trigger the electronic device to display more album icons, or need not to search and operate a specific album icon (such as an album icon corresponding to the first image) from more album icons, but can trigger the electronic device to display the first image on the shooting preview picture by controlling the electronic device to acquire the shooting preview picture including the image of the target object through a simpler operation. Therefore, the user operation in the process of displaying the image by the electronic equipment is simplified. In addition, because the electronic equipment does not directly display the images or display the images in a list form, but displays the images to be displayed on the shooting preview picture, the interest and the reality of the images displayed by the electronic equipment are improved.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), etc.; the non-mobile electronic device may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, or the like; the embodiments of the present invention are not particularly limited.

It should be noted that, in the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the execution main body may be an electronic device, or a Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the electronic device, or a control module in the electronic device for executing the image display method. The embodiment of the present invention takes an example of an electronic device executing an image display method, and describes an image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

It is to be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device in the above embodiment is an AR device, the electronic device may be an electronic device integrated with AR technology. The AR technology is a technology for realizing the combination of a real scene and a virtual scene. By adopting the AR technology, the visual function of human can be restored, so that human can experience the feeling of combining a real scene and a virtual scene through the AR technology, and further the human can experience the experience of being personally on the scene better.

The AR equipment can comprise the camera, so that the AR equipment can be combined with the virtual picture to display and interact on the basis of the picture shot by the camera. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the AR device may quickly and conveniently acquire and display an image associated with an object by acquiring an image of the object.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

A software environment applied to the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described below by taking a possible operating system as an example.

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

The application layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an 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 a library (also referred to as a system library) and an operating system runtime environment. The library mainly provides various resources required by the operating system. The operating system runtime environment is used to provide a software environment for the operating system.

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

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

The following describes the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the flowchart of the image display method shown in fig. 2. Wherein, although the logical order of the image display 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 display method shown in fig. 2 may include steps 201 to 204:

in step 201, the electronic device receives a first input of a user for capturing an image of a target object in a preview screen.

In a case where an image of a target object is included in a shooting preview screen displayed by the electronic device, the electronic device acquires an image (such as a first image described below) associated with the target object.

It will be appreciated that the image of the target object may be used to identify the target object, i.e. may be used to distinguish the target object from other objects.

For example, the target object provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be used for displaying a photo, for example, a solid photo frame (referred to as a target photo frame) used for displaying a photo, such as a solid photo frame that may be placed on a table or hung on a wall. Of course, solid photographs are usually displayed in solid photo frames.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, in a scene in which the electronic device displays a shooting preview picture, a position of an actual target object, such as a target photo frame, is usually fixed.

In the embodiment of the invention, the preview image in the shot preview picture is an image acquired by the electronic equipment in real time, namely a live-action picture.

It is to be understood that the preview image in the captured preview screen may be a dynamic image, for example, which changes as the finder frame of the camera of the electronic device moves.

When the electronic equipment displays the shooting preview picture, the electronic equipment can identify the preview image in the shooting preview picture, such as identifying whether the preview image of the shooting preview picture includes the image of the target object.

Optionally, the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may first identify whether the photographed preview image includes an image of an object, and if the photographed preview image includes an image of an object, identify whether the image of the object is an image of a target object. That is, it is determined whether an object within a view range of a camera of the current electronic device is a target object, for example, whether a physical photo frame within the current view range is a target photo frame.

It should be noted that, the user may control the electronic device to capture the image of the target object in advance. Specifically, the user may control the electronic device to analyze a pre-acquired image of the target object, and analyze image features (such as color features, texture features, shape features, and spatial relationship features) of the image. Also, the user may set an image (such as a first image described below) associated with the target object in advance. Alternatively, the user may preset an image associated with the target object in the electronic device or other electronic devices.

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.

Further, when the preview image acquired by the electronic device in real time includes an actual image of a certain object, if the image of the object matches a preset image of a target object, it indicates that the preview image includes the actual image of the target object. That is, the actual target object (e.g., a solid frame) is currently within the viewing range of the camera of the electronic device, e.g., the actual target object is in front of the user.

Wherein, the fact that the image of the actual object conforms to the preset image of the target object means that the two images are the same, for example, the image characteristics of the two images are all the same; alternatively, the two images have more of the same image features, such as the similarity between the same image features of the two images is greater than a threshold (e.g., 80%).

Step 202, the electronic equipment responds to the first input, and displays a first image associated with the target object in a first area in the shooting preview picture.

Wherein the display area of the target object in the shooting preview picture comprises a first area.

It is understood that the first image is an electronic photograph.

Alternatively, the first image may be an image in one album (denoted as album 1) associated with the target object.

Alternatively, the first image may be the first image in album 1, such as the top ranked image in album 1.

Optionally, the images in the album 1 may be sorted according to a certain sequence, for example, sorted according to information such as storage time, data size, and initial of name of the images, and of course, sorted according to other information, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention. For example, the images in the album 1 may be arranged in the order of the storage time of the images from back to front, i.e., the images with the most back storage time are ranked the most front.

Optionally, the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may use an Augmented Reality (AR) technology to identify the image of the object included in the captured preview image. And, the electronic device may subsequently display an image on the shooting preview screen using AR technology.

Specifically, the electronic device may superimpose a displayed image (e.g., the first image) obtained based on the AR technology on the real screen in the shooting preview interface.

For example, the electronic device may open a camera therein, and align an AR scanning interface of the camera with a target object in a viewing range, so as to obtain an image of the target object through scanning by a camera of the electronic device, that is, obtain a three-dimensional image of the target object, that is, obtain the image of the target object based on an AR technology.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may provide an object such as a client, an application program, or a plug-in, and support the electronic device to execute the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the electronic device may provide a client that may provide the AR scanning interface described above to support triggering the electronic device to display a capture preview screen.

The AR technology can superimpose entity information (visual information, sound, taste, touch and the like) which is difficult to experience in a certain time space range of the real world originally through scientific technologies such as computers and the like after analog simulation to obtain virtual information, and applies the virtual information to the real world to be perceived by human sense, so that the sense experience beyond reality is achieved. In short, AR technology is capable of seamlessly synthesizing information of a real world with information of a virtual world. Specifically, the AR widely uses various technical means such as multimedia, three-dimensional modeling, real-time tracking and registration, intelligent interaction, sensing, and the like, and applies virtual information such as characters, images, three-dimensional models, music, videos, and the like generated by a computer to the real world after analog simulation, and the two kinds of information complement each other, thereby realizing "enhancement" of the real world.

Alternatively, the electronic device may display the first image in a superimposed manner on the shooting preview screen, or remove an image of a certain area in the shooting preview screen and display the first image in the area.

The electronic device may adjust display parameters, such as a display position and a display size, of the first preset image on the preview image, so that the first preset image after the display parameters are adjusted is displayed on the preview image as the first image. For example, the first image may be displayed in a first area of the display area where the target object is located in the preview image, such as an area where an image of a photo frame is used to display the image to be viewed.

Optionally, step 202 may be implemented by steps 202 a-202 c:

in step 202a, in response to a first input, the electronic device displays target prompt information on a shooting preview screen when the shooting preview screen displayed by the electronic device includes an image of a target object.

The target prompt message is used for prompting the user to input the authentication information.

Optionally, the target prompt message may include an input box for inputting authentication information, or a prompt message for prompting the user to input a fingerprint.

Step 202b, the electronic device receives authentication information input by the user.

Optionally, the authentication information may be face information, fingerprint information, or character password information used for authentication, and the form of the authentication information is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention, and may be any realizable form.

Optionally, the user may input a fingerprint identifier in the electronic device, or input characters on an input box in the target prompt message to input the authentication information.

For example, the following description of the first input may be referred to for a description of an input mode of the authentication input in the embodiment of the present invention, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be described in detail.

And 202c, under the condition that the authentication information is successfully authenticated, the first electronic equipment displays a first image associated with the target object in a first area in the shooting preview picture.

Alternatively, the user may preset authentication information associated with the first image, such as preset authentication information associated with the album 1.

When the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention authenticates the authentication information input by the user, whether the authentication information conforms to the preset authentication information can be compared. If the authentication information input by the user accords with the preset authentication information, the authentication of the authentication information input by the user is successful; otherwise, the authentication of the authentication information input by the user fails.

The authentication information input by the user is consistent with the preset authentication information, which means that the two authentication information are the same or have a similarity greater than or equal to a certain threshold (e.g. 80%).

It can be understood that if the authentication information input by the user is successfully authenticated, it indicates that the current user has the right to browse the first image (i.e., the image in the album 1), i.e., the current user has the right. The user with the authority is usually an owner user or other preset user.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can authenticate the authentication information input by the user, the first image can be obtained if the authentication is successful, and the first image cannot be obtained if the authentication is failed, so that the user who fails in authentication can be prevented from browsing the first image, namely the first image is prevented from being leaked to a user without authority, and the safety and pertinence of the electronic equipment for displaying the image are improved.

Optionally, the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include, after the step 202, a step 203 and a step 204:

step 203, the electronic device receives a second input of the user.

For example, the first input may be used to trigger the electronic device to update an image displayed on the shooting preview screen, such as updating a first image displayed on the shooting preview screen to another image (e.g., a second image described below), i.e., updating the shooting preview screen.

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 in the embodiment of the present invention.

And step 204, responding to a second input, and updating the first image displayed on the shooting preview screen to a second image by the electronic equipment.

It will be appreciated that the second image is different from the second image.

Similarly, for the detailed description of displaying the second image on the shooting preview screen by the electronic device, reference may be made to the related description of the first image in the foregoing embodiment, and details of this embodiment of the present invention are not repeated.

Wherein the first image and the second image have at least one same attribute information.

It will be appreciated that a user typically desires to view two images having at least one of the same attribute information, such as viewing the two images in contrast.

Specifically, the attribute information of the first image may be partially different from the attribute information of the second image.

In addition, the attribute information of the first image may also be different from the attribute information of the second image, which is not described again in the embodiments of the present invention.

It should be noted that, in the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, because the electronic device does not display a fixed certain image to the user on the preview image, but can update the image displayed on the shooting preview image in real time under the trigger of the second input of the user, different images are displayed on the shooting preview image by using the AR technology, so that the flexibility and convenience of displaying the image on the shooting preview image by the electronic device are improved.

Optionally, the attribute information of one image includes at least one of: storage location, data volume, name, storage time, shooting geographical location, image type and contained face information.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the storage location of the image refers to a storage path of the image, such as a storage location used for indicating a device for storing the image and/or an album for storing the image.

Illustratively, the storage location of the second image is different from the storage location of the first image, which means that an album (referred to as album 2) of the second image storage is different from an album of at least one preset image storage (i.e., the album 1) and the second image and the first image are stored in the same device, such as the electronic device or the cloud server.

For example, album 1 is stored in a cloud server, and album 2 is stored locally in the electronic device; both the photo album 1 and the photo album 2 are stored in a cloud server; both the photo album 1 and the photo album 2 are stored in the local electronic equipment; or, the album 1 is stored locally in the electronic device, and the album 2 is stored in the cloud server.

Under the condition that one album is stored in the cloud server, the album is a shared album, and different electronic devices can be supported to acquire and display images in the album. For example, in a case where the album 1 is stored in a cloud server, the album 1 is a shared album, and it is possible to support a different electronic device to acquire the album 1 and display the first image.

Optionally, the storage location of the second image is the same as the storage location of the first image, for example, the album 2 in which the second image is located is the same as the album 1 in which the first image is located.

Optionally, the image types may include scene types, character types, and the like, and certainly, the image types provided in the embodiment of the present invention may also include other types, which are not described again in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first image and the second image are two images with the same name in different storage locations, two images with the same image type (for example, images with both types of scenes), two images with a difference value of data amount within a certain range of values, two images with the same storage time, two images with the same geographic location, or two images containing the same face information.

It can be understood that, since the image in the embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of attribute information, the electronic device may distinguish different images according to different attribute information, and update the display image on the shooting preview screen according to different attribute information, which is beneficial to improving the diversity of the display image of the electronic device on the shooting preview screen.

Optionally, in the image processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, step 202 may be implemented by step 202 d:

step 202d, the electronic device displays the first image on the first area according to the target display parameter.

Specifically, when the display position of the image of the target object changes, the display position of the first image changes.

The target display parameters are determined according to the display parameters of the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture.

Optionally, the target display parameter includes a target display position and/or a target display size.

Optionally, the electronic device may determine, in real time, display parameters of the image of the target object in the shooting preview screen, such as a display position, a display size, and the like of the image of the target object in the shooting preview screen. In this way, the electronic device may determine, in real time, the display parameter of the first area in the display area where the image of the target object is located according to the display parameter of the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture, where the first area is an area for displaying an image (e.g., a photograph) in the target object. Further, the display parameter of the first area is set as a target display parameter of the first image. For example, the electronic device sets the display position of the first region as the target display position of the first image and sets the display size of the first region as the target display size of the first image. Subsequently, the electronic device may display the first image in an overlapping manner on the first area in the shooting preview picture, or remove the image in the first area in the shooting preview picture and display the first image on the first area.

For example, taking a target object as a target photo frame as an example, the specific description of the electronic device determining the target display parameters according to the display parameters of the image of the target photo frame in the shooting preview picture is as follows:

the electronic equipment determines the display parameters of the image of the target photo frame in a first area in a display area where the image of the target photo frame is located in the shooting preview picture according to the display parameters of the image of the target photo frame in the shooting preview picture in real time; then, the display parameter of the first area is set as a target display parameter of the first image.

The electronic device may determine a frame area of the target photo frame and an area in the frame from the shooting preview picture, where the area in the frame is the first area for displaying the image.

The following describes an image display method according to an embodiment of the present invention by taking the flow of displaying an image by an electronic device shown in fig. 3 as an example.

As shown in fig. 3 (a), the target frame M is a solid object frame M, and the target frame M includes a solid image N, and the image N includes a face image Y. As shown in (b) of fig. 3, the electronic device displays a preview interface on the screen, where the preview interface includes a shooting preview screen 31, the shooting preview screen 31 includes an image of a target picture frame M, and the image of the target picture frame M is specifically displayed on an area K of the shooting preview screen 31. At this time, in a case where the electronic device determines that the image of the target frame M is included in the shooting preview screen 31, after receiving a click input (i.e., a first input) by the user to the image of the target frame M included in the shooting preview screen 31, the electronic device may acquire images a1 through A3 as shown in (c) in fig. 3, the images a1 through A3 being images a1 through A3 associated with the target frame M, the images a1 through A3 being sequentially arranged, and the image a1 being a first image of the images a1 through A3. Subsequently, the electronic device can determine the area K (i.e., the first area) where the image N is located in the target picture frame M from the shooting preview screen 31, and obtain the display parameters of the area K on the shooting preview screen 31. Also, the electronic apparatus may adjust the image a1 according to the display parameter to realize the display of the image a1, i.e., the image a1 displayed using the AR technique, on the area K in the shooting preview screen 31 as shown in (d) in fig. 3. Where the image a1 (i.e., the first image) is displayed on the area K in the shooting preview screen 31, it may be the image a1 that is superimposed on the image N in the shooting preview screen 31.

Note that (b) and (d) in fig. 3 denote the region K by a dotted frame, which is not actually displayed on the screen by the electronic apparatus.

Thus, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may determine the target display parameters according to the display parameters of the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture, and as the display parameters of the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture change, the target display parameters of the image displayed on the shooting preview picture also change correspondingly. For example, as the display size or the display position of the image of the target frame in the shooting preview picture changes, the first image may be continuously displayed in the first area of the display area where the target frame is located in the shooting preview picture. In this way, the interest and reality of the electronic device displaying the image are improved, so that the user can browse the electronic image like browsing the photo in the real photo frame, such as the image in the photo album including the first image.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second image is any one of the following:

obtaining an image according to a second preset image in the at least one preset image and obtaining an image according to a third preset image; and the storage position of the third preset image is different from the storage position of at least one preset image.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the preset image of the target object and the associated image (e.g., the first image) may be stored in the cloud server. Namely, the storage location of the first image is the cloud server.

Illustratively, step 202 may be implemented by step 201-1:

step 201-1, in response to a first input, the electronic device acquires a first image associated with the target object from the cloud server.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, it may be determined by the electronic device or the cloud server whether the image of the target object is included in the shooting preview screen.

For example, in a case where the cloud server determines whether an image of the target object is included in the photographing preview screen: the electronic device may first identify whether the shooting preview picture includes an image of an object, and if the shooting preview picture includes the image of the object, the shooting preview picture is sent to the cloud server to trigger the cloud server to determine whether the image of the object is the image of the target object, that is, determine whether the shooting preview picture includes the image of the target object. In the case where the cloud server determines whether an image of the target object is included in the photographing preview screen, an image (e.g., a first image) associated with the target object may be issued to the electronic device.

In this way, since the cloud server stores the image of the target object and the first image associated with the target object, it is possible for each of the one or more electronic devices to acquire a shared image such as the first image from the cloud server and display the shared image on the shooting preview screen by using AR technology. Thus, the variety of the electronic apparatus displaying the shared image on the photographing preview screen is improved.

Optionally, the first image is an image associated with an image of the target object and a geographic location of the target object.

Illustratively, the step 202 may include the steps 202-2 and 203-4:

step 202-2, the electronic device obtains a first geographic location of the target object.

When the displayed shooting preview picture includes the image of the target object, the electronic device can acquire the geographic position of the electronic device in real time, and use the geographic position as the actual geographic position (such as the first geographic position).

Optionally, the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may adopt an AR technology based on instantaneous positioning and mapping (SLAM), and obtain the distance between the target object and the electronic device and the size of the object electronic device through scanning by a camera in the electronic device. At this time, the geographic location of the target object provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be determined by the electronic device through the SLAM technology.

At step 202-3, the electronic device obtains a first image associated with a first geographic location and a target object.

It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user may preset the image of the target object, the geographic location of the target object, and the image (e.g., the first image) associated with the target object. The image of the target object, the geographic position of the target object and at least one preset image are all set with an incidence relation.

Further, the preset image of the target object, the geographical position of the target object, and the image associated with the target object may be stored in the cloud server. At this time, when the electronic device displays the shooting preview screen, if the shooting preview screen includes an image of the target object and the actual geographic position of the target object is the same as the preset geographic position, the electronic device may acquire an image associated with the image of the target object and the geographic position of the target object.

Step 202-4, the electronic equipment displays the first image in a first area in the shooting preview picture.

It is conceivable that, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the electronic device may distinguish the target objects at different geographic positions, even if it is not possible to distinguish which target object is currently previewed by the image of the target object, the target object currently previewed may be determined by the geographic position of the target object. For example, the electronic device may determine the exact target object by previewing the image and the geographic location of the target object, such as the target object being located indoors rather than outdoors. Thus, the accuracy of the image displayed on the shooting preview screen by the electronic equipment is improved.

It should be noted that the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the following three application scenarios. In application scenario 1, a first input is used to trigger deletion of an image displayed in the form of an image on a current shooting preview screen, and update the image displayed in the form of an image on the shooting preview screen. In the application scene 2, the first input is used to trigger updating of an image displayed in the form of an image on the shooting preview screen and saving of the image. In the application scene 3, the first input is used to trigger updating of an image displayed in the form of an image on the shooting preview screen without triggering deletion or saving of the image.

Optionally, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the application scenario 1, and the first storage location of the first image is the same as the second storage location of the second image. Specifically, step 204 can be implemented by step 204 a:

step 204a, the electronic device deletes the first preset image, and updates the first image displayed in the first area to a second image.

Optionally, the execution sequence of "deleting the first preset image" and "updating the first image displayed on the shooting preview screen to the second image" in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited, and may be any achievable sequence.

For example, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be an input of the first image by a user, such as a sliding input of the first image from top to bottom.

Optionally, the second image is a next image of the first image in the album (i.e. album 1) where the first image is located, for example, the image a2 is a next image of the preset image a1 in the preset images a 1-A3.

In conjunction with (d) in fig. 3, after the user makes a slide input (noted as slide input 1, i.e., a second input) from top to bottom to the image a1 displayed on the photographing preview screen as shown in (a) in fig. 4, the electronic apparatus displays an image a2, i.e., displays an image a2 on the photographing preview screen using AR technology, on an area K in the photographing preview screen 31 as shown in (b) in fig. 4. The electronic device then triggers deletion of image a1 from images a 1-A3. After receiving the slide input 1, the electronic device may determine the area K where the image N in the target frame M is located from the shooting preview picture 31, obtain the display parameters of the area K on the shooting preview picture 31, and then adjust the image a2 according to the display parameters, so as to display the image a2 on the shooting preview picture 31 by using AR technology.

According to the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, when a user browses the first image displayed on the preview picture shot by the electronic equipment through the AR technology, the first image can be deleted from the storage position where the first image is located through the first input trigger, for example, the first image is deleted from the cloud server stored in the first image, so that the man-machine interaction performance of the electronic equipment in the image display process can be further improved.

Optionally, the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the application scene 2, and a first storage location of the first image is different from a second storage location of the second image. The second image is an image obtained according to a third preset image, and the method is applied to the application scene 2. Specifically, step 204 may be implemented by step 204 b:

and step 204b, the electronic equipment stores the second image in the first storage position and updates the first image displayed in the first area into the second image.

Alternatively, the second image may be stored at any position in the first storage location, for example at a position next to the position of the first image, i.e. as a next image of the first image. In particular, the second image may be stored at any location in the album 1, such as next to the location of the first image in the album 1.

Alternatively, the execution order of "storing the second image in the second storage location" and "updating the first image displayed on the shooting preview screen to the second image" in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited, and may be any order that can be realized.

Illustratively, the second input is a specific input that can be made to the image displayed on the shooting preview screen, such as a slide input that slides clockwise and the slide trajectory is an arc.

Optionally, the storage location of the album 2 where the second image is located may be local to the electronic device, that is, the album 2 is an album saved by the electronic device.

Optionally, in a scenario where the electronic device receives a second input from the user, the electronic device displays an icon of an album (e.g., album 2) including the second image on the shooting preview screen, and after the user inputs the icon, the electronic device may display an identifier (e.g., a thumbnail) of each image in a group of images in the album 2 in a list form on the shooting preview screen. The identifiers of the images include an identifier of a second image, such as a thumbnail of the second image. For example, the album 2 may be stored locally to the electronic device, i.e. the storage location of the second image is local to the electronic device.

For example, the second input (i.e., input 2) may include a user input of an icon of an album in which the second image is located, and an input of dragging a thumbnail of the second image to a position in which the first image is located (e.g., a first area of the image of the target object in the display area of the photographing preview screen) and then releasing the hand. For example, the first input may include a user's click input on an icon of an album in which the second image is located, and an input of dragging a thumbnail of the second image into an image of a target photo frame in the shooting preview picture and then releasing the hand.

Alternatively, when the user drags the thumbnail of the second image, the electronic device still displays the thumbnail of the second image in a group of thumbnails on the shooting preview screen, i.e., the electronic device may copy and drag the thumbnail of the second image.

Further, while the electronic device displays a thumbnail of each image in a group of images on the shooting preview screen, the user's input of the icon of the album 2 may trigger the electronic device to cancel displaying the thumbnail of the image in the album 2 on the shooting preview screen, but may continue displaying the icon of the album 2.

For example, in conjunction with (d) in fig. 3, as shown in (a) in fig. 5, the electronic apparatus may display an icon 51 of the album 2 on the shooting preview screen 31. After the user inputs the icon 51, the electronic apparatus may display a set of thumbnails including the thumbnail of the image C1 and the expansion control 52 on the shooting preview screen 31 as shown in fig. 5 (b). After the user drags the thumbnail of the image C1 to the position where the image a1 is located, as shown in (C) in fig. 5, the electronic apparatus displays the image C1, i.e., realizes the display of the image C1 (i.e., the second image) using the AR technique, on the area K in the shooting preview screen 31, as shown in (d) in fig. 5. And the electronic device triggers saving of the image C1 to the storage positions of the album 1 where the images A1 to A3 are located, such as between the image A1 and the image A2, where the image A1 is located.

Subsequently, an input by the user to the extension control 52 or a slide input to a group of thumbnails shown in (b) in fig. 5 may trigger an electronic update of the thumbnails displayed on the shooting preview screen.

According to the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the user browses the electronic equipment and the second storage position of the second image which is displayed on the shooting preview picture in an updating manner is different from the first storage position of the first image, the second image can be stored in the first storage position through second input triggering, for example, the second image locally stored by the electronic equipment is stored in the storage position of the cloud server where the first image is located, so that the human-computer interaction performance of the electronic equipment in the process of displaying the image on the shooting preview picture is favorably improved.

Optionally, in the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the second image is an image obtained according to a second preset image, and the method is applied to the application scene 3.

For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, when a user performs a leftward sliding input on an image displayed in the form of an image in the current shooting preview screen, the electronic device may be triggered to display a next image of the image in the form of an image on the shooting preview screen. The user performs right sliding input on the image displayed in the form of the image in the current shooting preview picture, and can trigger the electronic equipment to display the previous image of the image in the form of the image on the shooting preview picture.

For example, the first input is a leftward sliding input of the first image, and the first input is used for triggering the first preset image to be displayed in the form of the first image on the shooting preview screen, and updating the first preset image to be displayed in the form of the second image on the shooting preview screen.

In conjunction with (d) in fig. 3, after the user makes a slide input (noted as slide input 3, i.e., the second input) to the left of the image a1 as shown in (a) in fig. 6, the electronic apparatus displays an image a2, i.e., displays an image a2 on the photographing preview screen using AR technology, on an area K in the photographing preview screen 31 as shown in (b) in fig. 6.

In this way, since the electronic device can be triggered to update and display the image displayed on the shooting preview screen by the second input of simpler editing, such as a sliding input to the left or right on the shooting preview screen, the operation of the user during the process of updating and displaying the image on the shooting preview screen by the electronic device can be simplified. In addition, the user can trigger the electronic equipment to update only the image displayed on the shooting preview picture through the second input, and the image is not deleted or saved, so that the flexibility of the process of displaying the image by the electronic equipment is favorably improved.

Optionally, the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, after the step 201, may further include step 206:

step 206: the electronic equipment displays at least one thumbnail in a second area in the shooting preview picture, wherein each thumbnail indicates an image.

The second area is different from the first area, for example, the first area is located above the shooting preview picture.

Further, the electronic device may further display an extension control when the second area in the shooting preview screen displays a thumbnail of each image in a group of images. The expansion control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to update the display image thumbnail.

For example, one input of the user to the expansion control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to sequentially move the thumbnails in the current list forward by one display position so as to cancel the display of the first thumbnail in the current list and add the thumbnail of the next image for displaying the last thumbnail in the current list at the end of the list.

In addition, a user sliding input to display a thumbnail of each image in a set of images on the capture preview screen may trigger the electronic device to update the display image thumbnail.

Optionally, at least one thumbnail displayed in the second area is a thumbnail of an image in an album (album 1) in which the first image is located, or at least one thumbnail is a thumbnail of an image in an album other than album 1.

Alternatively, the image indicated by the at least one thumbnail may be an image associated with the target object.

Illustratively, in conjunction with (D) in fig. 3, as shown in fig. 7, the electronic apparatus may include a set of thumbnail images (i.e., target thumbnail images) of the image D1 in an area V (i.e., a second area) on the photographing preview screen 71.

In this way, the electronic device can display not only the images on the shooting preview screen, but also at least one thumbnail on the shooting preview interface, wherein each thumbnail indicates one image, so that the user can visually view the images indicated by the at least one thumbnail on the shooting preview interface. Therefore, the method is beneficial to improving the diversity of the images displayed on the shooting preview picture by the electronic equipment.

Optionally, the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include, after step 206, step 207 and step 208:

step 207, the electronic device receives a third input of the user to the target thumbnail in the at least one thumbnail and the image of the target object.

Similarly, the description of the input mode of the third input may refer to the description of the input mode of the first input in the foregoing embodiment, and is not repeated herein in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the third input may be an input that the user drags the target thumbnail to a position where the first image is located in the photographing preview screen. Specifically, the input mode of the third input may be the input mode of the input 2.

In step 208, the electronic device responds to the third input, and the first image displayed in the first area is updated to the third image indicated by the target thumbnail.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the second area on the shooting preview screen of the electronic device, an icon of a next album (e.g., an album associated with the target object, which is denoted as album 3) may be displayed first. Subsequently, after the user inputs the icon, the electronic apparatus may display a thumbnail (including a target thumbnail) of each image in a group of images in the album 3 in the form of a list on the shooting preview screen. For example, the album 3 may be stored locally in the electronic device or in a cloud server, i.e. the storage location of the third image is the electronic device or the cloud server.

Illustratively, in conjunction with fig. 7, after the user drags the thumbnail of the image D1 to the position where the image a1 is located, as shown in (a) in fig. 8, the electronic apparatus displays the image D1, i.e., realizes the display of the image D1 (i.e., the third image) using the AR technology, on the area K in the photographing preview screen 71, as shown in (b) in fig. 8.

In this way, since the user can select any desired thumbnail from the at least one thumbnail displayed on the photographing preview screen and control the electronic device to update the first image displayed on the photographing preview screen to the image indicated by the thumbnail, for example, by a third input to the target thumbnail and the image of the target object, the electronic device is controlled to update the first image displayed on the photographing preview screen to the third image indicated by the target thumbnail, so that the variety of images displayed by the electronic device is improved.

Optionally, in a case that the photo in the photo frame is the first photo theme, the image indicated by the at least one thumbnail is an image associated with the first photo theme; in the case where the photograph in the picture frame includes a facial image of the first person, the images indicated by the at least one thumbnail each include a facial image of the first person.

For example, the first photo theme may be a wedding theme of the user, in which case the image indicated by the at least one thumbnail is an image associated with the wedding theme, e.g., images of all wedding themes in an album associated with the target object. Of course, the first photo theme provided in the embodiment of the present invention may also be any photo theme other than the wedding theme, and details thereof are not repeated in the embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, in the case where the photograph in the photo frame includes a facial image of a first person, the images indicated by the at least one thumbnail each include a facial image of the first person, such as all images in an album associated with the target object that include facial images of the first person.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the electronic device may display at least one thumbnail for indicating an image associated with the first photo theme on the shooting preview screen, a user may visually view a thumbnail of a third image associated with the first photo theme, and may conveniently control the electronic device to update the first image displayed on the shooting preview screen to the third image associated with the first photo theme, thereby improving the human-computer interaction performance of the process of displaying an image on the shooting preview screen by the electronic device. In addition, since the electronic device can display at least one thumbnail indicating the face image including the first person on the shooting preview screen, the user can visually check the face image including the first person, and the electronic device can be conveniently controlled to update the first image displayed on the shooting preview screen to a third image including the face image of the first person, so that the human-computer interaction performance of the process of displaying the image on the shooting preview screen by the electronic device is improved.

Optionally, the target object is a photo frame (such as the target photo frame mentioned above), and the photo in the photo frame includes an image of the second person. Specifically, step 201 may be implemented by step 201 ', and step 202 may be implemented by step 202':

in step 201', the electronic device receives a first input of a user to an area where a face image of a second person in the photo frame is located in the shooting preview picture.

Illustratively, the first input is a click input of a user to an area where an image of a second person in a photo in the image of the photo frame is located in the shooting preview picture, and the electronic device may be triggered to frame (e.g., circle) the image of the second person.

In step 202', the electronic device displays a first image associated with a second person in the first region.

Illustratively, the second character is one of the characters in the picture frame.

Optionally, the electronic device may detect whether the image of the target object in the captured preview screen includes a target face image, for example, the electronic device may interact with a cloud server to detect whether the image of the target object includes a face image of a person.

Specifically, the electronic device may recognize, through a face recognition technology, a face feature in an image of a previewed target object, and report the face feature (i.e., the face feature in the target face image) to the cloud server, and the cloud server may determine, from all images associated with the target object, an image including the face feature, and use the image as the first image. Such as to enable the determination of a first image comprising a face image of a first person from all preset images associated with the target object. Subsequently, the cloud server may issue the corresponding first image to the electronic device.

It will be appreciated that different face images are used to distinguish different people.

Illustratively, in conjunction with FIG. 3, the face image Y included in the image N of the entity, and the images A1-A3 associated with the target frame M each include the face image Y.

For example, when the image of the actual target object includes the face image of the person Y, the images in the album 1 in which the first image is located each include the face image Y of one person (denoted as person 1); when the image of the actual target object includes the face image U of another person (denoted as person 2), the images in the album 1 in which the first image is located each include the face image U of the person 2. In addition, when the image of the actual target object includes the face image Y of the person 1 and the face image U of the person 2, the images in the album 1 each include the face image Y of the person 1 and/or the face image U of the person 2. Of course, the image in the album 1 is an image associated with the target object.

For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, in a case that a face image of a person in a first image stored in a cloud server is identical to a face image of a person in a photo frame previewed by an electronic device, the cloud server may issue an image including the person to an AR client of the electronic device, so that a user may browse other images of the person on a shooting preview screen.

In this manner, in a case where the face image of the second person is included in the previewed image of the photo frame, the electronic device may display the first image including the face image of the second person on the shooting preview screen. Therefore, the interestingness of the user in browsing the images is improved, the image retrieval capability based on the human face features of the people is provided, and the user can conveniently browse the images of a certain person. That is, the electronic device can quickly display an image associated with a certain person on the shooting preview screen.

Optionally, the first image includes face images of at least two persons. Specifically, in the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, after the step 202, the method may further include a step 209 and a step 210:

step 209, the electronic device receives a fourth input of the face image of the third person in the first image from the user.

Similarly, the description of the input mode of the fourth input may refer to the description of the input mode of the first input in the foregoing embodiment, and is not repeated in the embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, the fourth input may be a click input on a face image of the third person.

Step 210, the electronic device, in response to the fourth input, updates the at least one thumbnail to a thumbnail associated with the third person.

Optionally, in response to the fourth input, the electronic device may first frame a face image of a third person with a frame and update at least one thumbnail to a thumbnail associated with the third person.

Illustratively, in conjunction with fig. 7, after a click input by the user on a face image U included in the image a1, as shown in (a) of fig. 9, the electronic device updates at least one thumbnail image to a plurality of thumbnail images associated with a third person (i.e., the above-mentioned person 2) identified by the face image U, as shown in (b) of fig. 9.

In this way, in the case where the first image displayed on the shooting preview screen includes the face image of the third person, the electronic device may update at least one thumbnail to a thumbnail associated with the third person through the fourth input, thereby enabling the electronic device to quickly update and display an image including a person associated on the shooting preview screen.
