[0093] Figure 12 This is a block diagram illustrating an image processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0094] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0095] This disclosure provides an image processing method. Figure 1A This is a flowchart illustrating an image processing method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1A As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0096] In step 101, the first image is displayed on the first display interface.

[0097] Here, the first image can be any image in the album on the mobile terminal, or any image displayed through an application installed on the mobile terminal; correspondingly, the first display interface can be the browsing interface of the album or the display interface of the application installed on the mobile terminal.

[0098] For example, when a user is capturing images using the image capture component on a mobile device, if the image capture operation has already been performed, the user will enter the image preview interface, where the first image can be displayed. If the user has taken multiple images consecutively, the user can access the mobile device's album to find the corresponding first image and display it in the album's browsing interface.

[0099] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first image can be displayed in multiple application scenarios. If the user enables the image processing function, the image can be processed during the image acquisition process, in the local album, or in the application's display interface, which increases the convenience of user operation compared to a specific application scenario.

[0100] In step 102, editing instructions for the first image are detected.

[0101] Here, the received editing instructions can be detected based on at least one virtual button set on the first display interface. For example, the editing instructions for the first image can be detected based on the user's input operation, where the input operation can be a single click, double click, or long press.

[0102] In step 103, according to the editing instructions, the first image is displayed on the second display interface; wherein, the second display interface is a virtual photo-taking interface, the virtual photo-taking interface includes: a viewfinder and at least one editing control located outside the viewfinder, and the first image is displayed in the viewfinder of the virtual photo-taking interface.

[0103] Here, taking the detection of an editing command by a virtual button on the first display interface as an example, the user can click the virtual button to input the editing command. When the mobile terminal receives the editing command, the first image is displayed on the second display interface. The second display interface is a virtual camera interface, which includes a viewfinder and at least one editing control located outside the viewfinder. The first image is displayed in the viewfinder of the virtual camera interface. This simulates the camera function on the second display interface, making the image adjustment interface more intuitive and in line with the user's operating habits.

[0104] Figure 1B This is a schematic diagram of an image processing interface according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1B As shown, the first display interface 10b includes a viewfinder 11b, a control area 12b, and an information display area 13b. The first image can be fully displayed in the viewfinder 11b. The control area 12b only includes functions such as sending, editing, and favorites. The information display area 13b displays information such as the date. Figure 1C This is a schematic diagram of an image processing interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 ,like Figure 1C As shown, the second display interface 10c includes a viewfinder 11c, a control area 12c, and an information display area 13c. The first image can be fully displayed in the viewfinder 11c. The control area 12c includes image acquisition controls and image acquisition modes, such as portrait and night scene.

[0105] In other alternative embodiments, the virtual photo-taking interface includes all or some of the photo-taking interface elements.

[0106] Here, interface elements refer to a series of elements contained in the software or system interface that meet the user's interaction requirements. Correspondingly, camera interface elements refer to elements contained in the software or system interface that meet the user's photography requirements.

[0107] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by displaying a first image on a first display interface and displaying the first image in a viewfinder on a second display interface (virtual photo-taking interface) according to the detected editing instructions, and by setting at least one editing control outside the viewfinder, the first image can be automatically displayed on the virtual photo-taking interface based on the editing instructions. This not only makes the interface intuitive, but also simplifies the operation of editing images by setting at least one editing control on the virtual photo-taking interface.

[0108] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an image processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0109] In step 201, the first image is displayed on the first display interface.

[0110] In step 202, editing instructions for the first image are detected.

[0111] In step 203, in response to the editing command, the terminal's camera application is launched.

[0112] Here, the camera application of the terminal can be a camera application (BPP) installed on the terminal. In this embodiment of the disclosure, taking the detection of an editing command by a virtual button set on the first display interface as an example, the user can enter the editing command by clicking the virtual button. When the mobile terminal receives the editing command, it can launch the camera application.

[0113] In step 204, the first image is displayed in the viewfinder of the camera application's photo-taking interface.

[0114] Here, after launching the camera application, the first image can be displayed in the viewfinder of the camera application's shooting interface. This allows the first image in the viewfinder to be edited based on at least one editing control on the camera application.

[0115] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by displaying a first image on a first display interface, and displaying the first image in the viewfinder of the camera application's shooting interface according to the detected editing instructions, and setting at least one editing control outside the viewfinder, the interface is not only intuitive, but also the operation of editing images can be simplified by directly using at least one editing control on the shooting interface.

[0116] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an image processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0117] In step 301, the interface element information of the camera interface is obtained. The camera interface refers to the camera interface of the terminal's camera application.

[0118] Here, interface elements refer to a series of elements in a software or system interface that meet user interaction requirements. Correspondingly, camera interface elements refer to elements in a software or system interface that meet user photography requirements. In this embodiment of the disclosure, interface element information of the camera interface can be obtained from the camera interface of the terminal's camera application.

[0119] In step 302, a virtual photo-taking interface is generated based on the interface element information.

[0120] Here, after obtaining the interface element information of the camera interface, a virtual camera interface can be generated based on the interface element information. In this way, the virtual camera interface can realize the functions of the corresponding editing controls on the camera interface to edit the first image.

[0121] In step 303, the first image is displayed on the first display interface.

[0122] In step 304, editing instructions for the first image are detected.

[0123] In step 305, according to the editing instructions, the first image is displayed on the second display interface; wherein, the second display interface is a virtual photography interface, the virtual photography interface includes: a viewfinder and at least one editing control located outside the viewfinder, and the first image is displayed in the viewfinder of the virtual photography interface.

[0124] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by acquiring the interface element information of the camera interface, a virtual camera interface is generated based on the interface element information of the camera interface. The virtual camera interface can realize the functions of the corresponding editing controls on the camera interface to edit the first image. Not only is the interface intuitive, but it can also simplify the operation of editing images.

[0125] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an image processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0126] In step 401, the first image is displayed on the first display interface.

[0127] In step 402, editing instructions for the first image are detected.

[0128] In step 403, according to the editing instructions, the first image is displayed on the second display interface; wherein, the second display interface is a virtual photography interface, the virtual photography interface includes: a viewfinder and at least one editing control located outside the viewfinder, and the first image is displayed in the viewfinder of the virtual photography interface.

[0129] In step 404, an edit operation is responded to for at least one edit control.

[0130] In step 405, a second image is generated based on the editing operation. The second image is the image generated after adjusting the image parameters of the first image.

[0131] Here, taking the editing control as a virtual button set on the second display interface as an example, the user can click the virtual button to input editing operations. When the mobile terminal receives the editing operation, it can directly obtain the image generated after adjusting the image parameters of the first image, that is, the second image.

[0132] In other optional embodiments, a portion of the viewfinder image displayed on the second display interface after adjusting the image parameters of the first image can be obtained, and a second image can be generated based on this portion of the image. The adjustment parameters of the second image differ from those of the first image; for example, brightness, color temperature, or image mode may differ. In this embodiment, the size of the generated second image can be the same as the size of the first image. After generating the second image, its resolution can be adjusted to a set threshold based on the resolution of the first image.

[0133] In this embodiment, after adjusting the first image, an editing operation is performed through the editing controls on the second display interface to obtain the second image, which is the image generated after adjusting the image parameters of the first image. This allows for entering a pre-defined display interface and automatically generating the second image based on the editing controls. This differs from directly adjusting the image within the editing interface, providing a more intuitive interface and simplifying image editing operations.

[0134] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating an image processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0135] In step 501, the first image is displayed on the first display interface.

[0136] In step 502, editing instructions for the first image are detected.

[0137] In step 503, according to the editing instructions, the first image is displayed on the second display interface; wherein, the second display interface is a virtual photography interface, the virtual photography interface includes: a viewfinder and at least one editing control located outside the viewfinder, and the first image is displayed in the viewfinder of the virtual photography interface.

[0138] In step 504, in response to an adjustment operation for at least one editing control, the image parameters of the first image displayed in the viewfinder are adjusted.

[0139] In step 505, an edit operation is responded to for at least one edit control.

[0140] In step 506, a second image is generated based on the adjusted image parameters according to the editing operation. The editing control that receives the editing operation is generated based on the image control element information of the camera interface.

[0141] Here, the adjustment operation can be any user input detected on the mobile terminal's screen. For example, a user might use touchscreen input to zoom in, zoom out, rotate, move, flip, or tap. Taking a tap as an example, a user can blur the first image by tapping the screen with a single finger. Similarly, selecting a portrait mode allows the user to adjust the first image to portrait mode by tapping the portrait mode control. Image parameters include image sharpness, image mode, image brightness, and image color temperature.

[0142] In this context, "interface elements" refers to a series of elements within a software or system interface that meet user interaction requirements. Correspondingly, "photo-taking control elements" refers to control elements within a software or system interface that enable the user to trigger the photo-taking function. In this embodiment, photo-taking control element information can be obtained from the photo-taking interface of the terminal's camera application.

[0143] In this embodiment, the image parameters of the first image can be adjusted in a virtual photo-taking interface, which is different from adjusting the image directly in the editing interface. This not only makes the interface more intuitive but also simplifies the image editing process.

[0144] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating an image processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 ,like Figure 6 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0145] In step 601, the first image is displayed on the first display interface.

[0146] In step 602, editing instructions for the first image are detected.

[0147] In step 603, according to the editing instructions, the first image is displayed on the second display interface; wherein, the second display interface is a virtual photography interface, the virtual photography interface includes: a viewfinder and at least one editing control located outside the viewfinder, and the first image is displayed in the viewfinder of the virtual photography interface.

[0148] In step 604, in response to an adjustment operation for at least one editing control, the image parameters of the first image displayed in the viewfinder are adjusted.

[0149] In step 605, an edit operation is responded to for at least one edit control.

[0150] In step 606, a second image is generated based on the adjusted image parameters according to the editing operation. The editing control that receives the editing operation is generated based on the image control element information of the camera interface.

[0151] In step 607, a display operation is performed in response to at least one editing control.

[0152] Here, the editing control can be a virtual button displayed on the second display interface. For example, when the generation of a second image is detected, the editing control is displayed at a designated position in the image area or control area to facilitate user input and display operations. This editing control can be placed at the top or bottom of the second display interface for easy user access and operation.

[0153] In step 608, according to the display operation, the first image and the second image are displayed side by side on the virtual photo-taking interface.

[0154] Here, users can input display operations through editing controls, such as single click, double click, or long press. When the mobile terminal detects the display operation, it can display the first and second images side by side on the second display interface so that users can observe and compare them.

[0155] In other optional embodiments, when the mobile terminal detects a display operation, a first image can be retrieved and placed on top of a second image on the second display interface. At this time, the state of displaying the first image is entered, and the first image fills the entire viewfinder. When the mobile terminal detects that the user has canceled the input display operation, the second image is placed on top of the first image. At this time, the state of displaying the second image is entered, and the second image fills the entire viewfinder. This allows the user to see the final generated image effect while observing and comparing, resulting in a better user experience.

[0156] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating an image processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 ,like Figure 7 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0157] In step 701, when an album opening command is received, the album on the mobile terminal is opened.

[0158] Here, users can store images captured by the image capture component on the mobile terminal, downloaded via the network, or copied from other electronic devices into the mobile terminal's photo album, which can be the mobile terminal's built-in photo album.

[0159] Taking the first image as an example, which is a picture stored in the album of the mobile terminal, when the user needs to browse or use the first image stored in the album, he / she can enter the album open command. When the mobile terminal receives the album open command, it opens the album.

[0160] In step 702, based on the image display instruction, the first image targeted by the image display instruction is selected from the album and displayed on the first display interface.

[0161] Here, the first display interface can be the photo album browsing interface. Users can input image display commands for the first image by clicking, double-clicking, or long-pressing. When the mobile terminal receives the image display command, it can display the first image on the photo album browsing interface.

[0162] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by displaying the first image on the browsing interface of the album, the first image can be processed directly on the browsing interface without the user having to return to a specific display interface to process the image. This reduces the number of operation steps, improves the convenience of image processing, and thus enhances the user experience.

[0163] In step 703, the first image is displayed on the first display interface.

[0164] In step 704, editing instructions for the first image are detected.

[0165] In step 705, according to the editing instructions, the first image is displayed on the second display interface; wherein, the second display interface is a virtual photography interface, the virtual photography interface includes: a viewfinder and at least one editing control located outside the viewfinder, and the first image is displayed in the viewfinder of the virtual photography interface.

[0166] In other optional embodiments, the method further includes: storing a second image and storing association information between the first image and the second image; and simultaneously displaying the first image and the second image when an association display operation targeting the association information is detected.

[0167] Here, the second image can be stored in an album or other folder. When generating the second image, a relationship can be established between the second image and the first image. Based on this relationship information, the association between the first and second images can be identified. This allows the system to find the corresponding second or first image based on this relationship information when displaying the first or second image, and to display both images simultaneously. The relationship information can be numbers or image names, as long as it identifies the relationship between the first and second images.

[0168] For example, when a user views the first image, the system can query whether there is a second image corresponding to the first image based on the associated information. If so, the second image can be directly retrieved, and the first and second images can be displayed simultaneously. This way, the user does not need to frequently browse through the album to find the second image, which can improve the convenience of viewing images.

[0169] In other alternative embodiments, adjusting the image parameters of a first image displayed in the viewfinder in response to an adjustment operation on at least one editing control includes: responding to an adjustment operation on at least one editing control; adjusting the image parameters of the first image according to the adjustment operation; the image parameters include: image sharpness, image mode, image brightness, and image color temperature.

[0170] In other alternative embodiments, the method further includes: displaying at least one editing control at a predetermined position outside the viewfinder of the virtual camera interface; the predetermined position includes at least one of the following: the bottom of the viewfinder; the top of the viewfinder.

[0171] Here, upon detecting an adjustment operation, the editing controls are displayed at a predetermined position outside the viewfinder of the display interface for easy user operation. The editing controls remain visible at the predetermined position from the moment the adjustment operation is detected, allowing the user to edit the image at any time while browsing. The predetermined position includes at least one of the following: the bottom of the viewfinder; or the top of the viewfinder.

[0172] Here, placing the editing control at the bottom or top of the viewfinder makes it more prominent than placing it in other locations, making it easier for users to find and use the editing control.

[0173] In other optional embodiments, a function control for activating image processing can be provided on a corresponding interface of the mobile terminal, such as the settings interface. This function control can be a virtual button used to activate and deactivate the image processing function in the mobile terminal's photo album. When an adjustment operation is detected, it is checked whether the function control is turned on.
