[0027] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Where the following description refers to the drawings, the same numerals in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the illustrative examples below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
[0028] figure 1 is a flowchart of a method for taking screenshots according to an exemplary embodiment, such as figure 1 shown, including the following steps:
[0029] In step S11, a screenshot instruction is received. Wherein, the screenshot instruction can be generated by triggering a key combination, or can be generated by clicking a screenshot button.
[0030] In step S12, in response to the screenshot instruction, the status bar is hidden. For example, the status bar can be hidden by moving the status bar layer down below the desktop layer.
[0031] In step S13, a screen image is captured to obtain a screen image that does not contain status bar information.
[0032] In this embodiment, the user can generate a screenshot command by clicking the screenshot widget. After receiving the screenshot command, the system moves the status bar layer down to the desktop layer to hide the status bar, and then , take a screenshot to get an image of the screen without the status bar information.
[0033] By responding to the screenshot instruction, triggering the status bar to automatically hide and then capturing the screen image, the problem in the related art that the screen image that does not contain the status bar information cannot be directly captured can be solved; The status bar is hidden, and the screen image without the status bar information can be directly captured, which is convenient and quick, and can also reduce the processing amount and ensure that the image ratio is not distorted.
[0034] figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for taking screenshots according to another exemplary embodiment, such as figure 2 shown in figure 1 On the basis of , the method may further include the following steps:
[0035] Before executing step S13, step S21 is executed. In step S21, in response to the screenshot instruction, the icon content generated when each key in the key combination is triggered is hidden. For example, the icon content can be hidden by moving the icon content layer generated when each key in the key combination is triggered to below the desktop layer.
[0036] In addition, it should be noted that although the figure 2 It is shown that step S21 is executed before step S12, but the present disclosure is not limited to this, step S21 can also be executed after step S12, or be executed simultaneously with step S12, and these modified embodiments all fall within the scope of the present disclosure. within the range.
[0037] Screenshot commands are generated by triggering key combinations. Illustratively, the key combination may include, for example, an on-screen menu key and a volume down key. In actual operation, when the user wants to take a screenshot by combining the keys, it often happens that the keys are not activated synchronously. refer to image 3 , when the user first presses the volume down key 2, the icon content generated when the volume down key 2 is triggered will appear at the top of the phone screen, such as image 3 As shown in the sign box 3 at the top of the screen, a volume-down icon will be displayed at the top of the screen. At this time, when the user presses the screen menu key 1 again to generate a screenshot command, in the related art, the screen image captured will include the screen image of the logo frame 3, which will cause the captured image to be different from the one that the user originally intended to capture. The content of the image is inconsistent, and the user needs to perform the screenshot operation again to obtain the expected screen image. In order to solve this problem, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, for the screenshot instruction triggered by the combination key, before taking the screenshot, the icon content generated by each key in the combination key when the key combination is triggered is hidden, and then, Then perform a screenshot operation to obtain a screen image that does not include the status bar information and the icon content generated when each key in the key combination is triggered. like Figure 4 As shown, through this embodiment, when the user first presses the volume down key and then presses the screen menu key to take a screenshot, the captured screen image does not include the icon content generated when the volume down key is triggered.
[0038] Through the above technical solution, when the user triggers a screenshot with a combination key, the icon content generated by each key in the combination key is hidden, and when each key in the combination key is triggered asynchronously, the corresponding icon can be hidden, so that the It is avoided that the captured screen image contains other information generated by triggering the screenshot operation, so that the captured screen image does not contain interfering information, conforms to the user's original screenshot intent, and meets the user's usage needs. In addition, the user does not need to perform the screenshot operation again, which reduces the operation difficulty when the user performs the screenshot operation by triggering the combination key, and does not have to trigger the combination key synchronously, so it is more convenient for the user to use.
[0039]Optionally, before the step of capturing a screen image, the method further includes: hiding a screen notification message in response to the screenshot instruction. For example, the on-screen notification message can be hidden by moving the layer of the on-screen notification message below the desktop layer.
[0040] In practice, when a user receives a notification message, the notification message is displayed on the screen and remains displayed for a period of time. If the notification message appears on the screen when the user captures the screen image, in the related art, the captured screen image will include the notification message, and the notification message is often the content of the image that the user does not want to capture. It makes the user have to take a screenshot again after the notification message exits the display. In order to solve this problem, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the notification message is hidden before the screen image is captured, and then the screen image is captured to obtain a screen image that does not contain status bar information and notification message.
[0041] Through the above technical solution, when a notification message is displayed on the screen and the user wants to take a screenshot, the screen notification message is hidden, so that the screen image captured by the user does not contain interference information, which conforms to the user's original screenshot intent and satisfies the user's use. requirements, while preventing users from taking screenshots again, which is convenient for users to use.
[0042] Optionally, the step of hiding the status bar in response to the screenshot instruction may include:
[0043] It is judged whether the screen capture mode of the interference removal information is enabled, wherein the screen capture mode of the interference removal information refers to the mode of performing the operation of removing interference information when taking a screenshot, and the interference information at least includes status bar information. When the user turns on the screen capture mode of the de-interference information, it means that the user wishes to capture a screen image that at least does not include the status bar information.
[0044] The status bar is hidden in response to the screenshot instruction when the screenshot mode of the de-interference information is turned on.
[0045] Through the above technical solution, the user can choose whether to enable the screen capture mode for de-interference information according to his own usage requirements. When this mode is enabled, the user can obtain a screen image with at least the status bar information hidden only after the user performs a screen capture operation. If this mode is not enabled, the user obtains a screen image with status bar information after taking a screenshot. In this way, the screenshot modes are made more diverse, more choices are provided for the user to meet the user's usage needs, and the user experience is improved.
[0046] In other embodiments, the interference information may further include: icon content corresponding to a key, a screen notification message, and the like. Correspondingly, when the screen capture mode of the de-interference information is turned on, the terminal may perform the following operations: in response to the screen capture instruction, hide the icon content generated when each key in the key combination is triggered; and, in response to the screen capture instruction , to hide the on-screen notification message.
