Problems solved by technology

[0003] The above-mentioned common screen capture methods are all screenshot operations on the entire screen of the mobile terminal, so the following problems will occur: one, when the user has finished capturing a picture, he also needs to capture the area below the area where the picture is located. The user selects the next area to be intercepted and then takes a screenshot. The screenshot operation is very cumbersome; second, because the size of the screenshot image is fixed, when the user only needs to intercept a small part of the chat history, it may cause the user to be intercepted. Parts that are not needed or do not want to be screenshotted, there is a risk of user privacy leakage, and the user experience is extremely bad
