[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0026] The screenshot method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Usually, when a user sends multiple screenshots to other users (for example, screenshots corresponding to the specific operation process of a certain application), the user needs to select multiple screenshots from the album application in turn. However, when there are many screenshots, the user may miss the screenshots that need to be sent, resulting in the screenshots sent by the user being unable to fully display the specific operation process of the application to other users; or, when the network condition of the electronic device is not good, some screenshots may fail to be sent, or the sending order of multiple screenshots may be disordered, resulting in the screenshots sent by the user being unable to fully and accurately display the specific operation process of the application to other users; in this way, the continuity of the electronic device sending multiple screenshots is poor.

[0028] In order to solve the above technical problems, in an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in a target screenshot mode, the user can input a screenshot of the screen of the electronic device so that the electronic device can perform a screenshot operation on multiple interfaces and obtain multiple screenshot pictures. Then the electronic device can generate and output a target video based on the multiple screenshot pictures.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present application, a user can perform N screenshot inputs, that is, each time the electronic device displays an interface, the user performs a screenshot input for the interface, so that after each screenshot input by the user, the electronic device performs a screenshot operation on the interface corresponding to the screenshot input, thereby performing N screenshot operations on N interfaces.

[0030] In another embodiment of the present application, for each of the N interfaces, the electronic device can record the content of the interface each time it displays an interface, so that the user can perform a screenshot input, that is, after the electronic device displays N interfaces, the user performs a screenshot input, so that the electronic device performs N screenshot operations based on the content record of the N interfaces.

[0031] In this solution, after the user triggers the electronic device to obtain multiple screenshots through screenshot input, the user does not need to select each screenshot image in turn. Instead, a target video is directly generated based on the multiple screenshot images. That is, the solution of the present application sends multiple screenshot images to other users in the form of videos. Therefore, the problems of missing screenshot images, failure to send some screenshot images, and disordered sending order of screenshot images can be avoided, thereby simplifying user operations, improving the continuity and flexibility of the electronic device in sending multiple screenshot images, and improving the human-computer interaction experience.

[0032] The present application embodiment provides a screenshot method. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a screenshot method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the screenshot method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 and 202.

[0033] Step 201: The electronic device performs a screenshot operation on N interfaces in the electronic device based on the screenshot input of the user to obtain N screenshot images.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, each of the above-mentioned N screenshots corresponds to one interface among N interfaces, where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, when in a target screenshot mode, the electronic device can perform a screenshot operation on N interfaces in the electronic device based on the user's screenshot input.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device displays a desktop or application interface, the user can trigger the electronic device to be in a target screenshot mode, and then the user can perform a screenshot input so that the electronic device can perform a screenshot operation on N interfaces and output the N screenshot images obtained by the screenshot operation in the form of a video.

[0037] It should be noted that the above-mentioned target screenshot mode can be understood as: in this target screenshot mode, the electronic device can generate a corresponding video based on the screenshot picture obtained by the screenshot operation, that is, the screenshot picture obtained by the screenshot operation is output in the form of a video.

[0038] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, a user may input a screenshot video control in a settings application to put the electronic device in a target screenshot mode; or, the electronic device may display a floating window on the screen of the electronic device, the floating window including a screenshot video control, and the user may input a screenshot video control in the floating window to put the electronic device in a target screenshot mode.

[0039] For example, the electronic device is a mobile phone. Figure 2 As shown, a floating window is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, and the floating window includes a screenshot video control 10 and other controls (such as a screen recording control, etc.). The user can input the screenshot video control 10 to put the mobile phone in a target screenshot mode, so that the user can input the screenshot.

[0040] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned N interfaces may include at least one of the following: the desktop of the electronic device (e.g., different pages in the desktop), the interface of the application of the electronic device (e.g., the interface of different application programs or different interfaces of the same application program). The specific interface may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

[0041] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned N interfaces can be interfaces that are displayed in sequence when the user triggers N inputs (one input among the N inputs corresponds to one interface), or can be interfaces that are played autonomously or displayed in sequence by the electronic device.

[0042] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned screenshot input can be N screenshot inputs, that is, each time the electronic device displays an interface, the user performs a screenshot input for the interface.

[0043] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 201 can be specifically implemented by the following steps 201a and 201b.

[0044] Step 201a: When in the target screenshot mode, during the process of switching between M interfaces, the electronic device receives N screenshot inputs from the user.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned N screenshot inputs correspond one-to-one to N interfaces among the M interfaces, and M is an integer greater than or equal to N.

[0046] It can be understood that each time the electronic device switches to an interface, the user can take a screenshot for that interface, or may not take a screenshot for that interface. That is, for the M interfaces of the electronic device, the user can take a screenshot for some or all of the M interfaces.

[0047] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned screenshot input can be specifically a user pressing input on a physical button or a combination of physical buttons of the electronic device to trigger the electronic device to perform a screenshot operation; or, the above-mentioned screenshot input can be a user input to a screenshot control (such as a click input or a long press input, etc.) to trigger the electronic device to perform a screenshot operation; or, the above-mentioned screenshot input can be a user's voice input to the electronic device to trigger the electronic device to perform a screenshot operation. The specific operation can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

[0048] Step 201b: For each screenshot input among the N screenshot inputs, the electronic device performs a screenshot operation on one interface among the N interfaces in response to the screenshot input to obtain N screenshot images.

[0049] It can be understood that, in the case where the above-mentioned screenshot input is N screenshot inputs, the electronic device can perform a screenshot operation on the interface corresponding to the screenshot input after each screenshot input by the user, so as to perform N screenshot operations on the N interfaces. That is, for the N interfaces in the process of switching M interfaces, when the first interface is displayed, the electronic device can receive the user's first screenshot input, and the first interface is one of the N interfaces; the electronic device can respond to the first screenshot input and perform a screenshot operation on the first interface to obtain the first screenshot picture; when switching from the first interface to the second interface, the electronic device can receive the user's second screenshot input, and the second interface is one of the N interfaces; the electronic device can respond to the second screenshot input and perform a screenshot operation on the second interface to obtain the second screenshot picture; and so on, until the electronic device receives the user's Nth screenshot input, and responds to the Nth screenshot input, performs a screenshot operation on an interface to obtain the Nth screenshot picture, so as to obtain N screenshot pictures.

[0050] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned screenshot input may also be a one-time screenshot input, that is, after the electronic device displays N interfaces, the user performs a screenshot input.

[0051] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the above-mentioned screenshot input is a single screenshot input, the electronic device may perform N screenshot operations on the N interfaces according to the content of each interface recorded when the electronic device displays the N interfaces.

[0052] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after obtaining a screenshot, the electronic device may display a window on the screen, and display the obtained screenshot in the window in the form of a thumbnail; or, the electronic device may display a first control on the screen, and after obtaining each screenshot, the electronic device may save the screenshot through the first control in descending order of image size.

[0053] For example, Figure 3 As shown, a first control 11 is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone. After the user takes a screenshot of an interface (such as XX's chat interface), the mobile phone can save the screenshot image corresponding to the interface through the first control 11 in descending order of image size.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, after the user inputs N screenshots to cause the electronic device to perform N screenshot operations on N interfaces and obtain N screenshot pictures, the electronic device can directly generate a video based on the N screenshot pictures, so as to send multiple screenshot pictures to other users in the form of video, without the user having to select each screenshot picture in turn to send the screenshot pictures in turn. This simplifies user operations and improves the continuity and flexibility of the electronic device in sending multiple screenshot pictures.

[0055] Step 202: The electronic device outputs a target video based on the N screenshot images.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, in one case, the electronic device can generate a target video based on all the screenshots in N screenshots. Specifically, the electronic device can directly generate the target video from all the screenshots; or, the electronic device can generate the target video from all the screenshots that have been edited (for example, image modification of the screenshots); or, the electronic device can generate the target video from a portion of the screenshots that have been edited and another portion of the screenshots that have not been edited. In another case, the electronic device can generate the target video based on some of the screenshots in N screenshots (for example, the screenshots remaining after deleting some of the screenshots in N screenshots).

[0057] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after generating the target video, the electronic device can display the image of the target video on the screen, that is, play the target video, or can store the target video in the electronic device; or can send the target video to other devices through an application in the electronic device (for example, an application corresponding to N interfaces).

[0058] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device sends the target video to other devices, it may save the target video in the electronic device or delete the target video.

[0059] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202a or step 202b.

[0060] Step 202a: The electronic device uses the N screenshots as N video frames in a first order to generate and output a target video.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, each of the above-mentioned N video frames corresponds to a screenshot image among the N screenshot images, and the above-mentioned first order includes any of the following items: the order of N interface screenshots, the default display order of N screenshot images, and the display order of N screenshot images adjusted by the user.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can use N screenshots as N video frames, and each screenshot is maintained for a preset duration (e.g., 2 seconds) to record a video file to obtain a target video. It is understood that when playing the target video, the duration of each video frame in the target video is a preset duration (i.e., one video frame is displayed for each preset duration).

[0063] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display a screenshot after obtaining each screenshot, or after obtaining N screenshots, the electronic device may display the N screenshots according to the memory size occupied by the screenshots or the content relevance of the screenshots.

[0064] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device obtains N screenshots, the user can adjust the display order of the N screenshots so that the electronic device uses the N screenshots after the adjusted display order as N video frames in sequence.

[0065] Step 202b: The electronic device synthesizes the N screenshot images in the first order to obtain a target image, generates a dynamic image based on the target image, and obtains and outputs a target video.

[0066] It can be understood that the above-mentioned target image can be understood as a long screenshot image, and the electronic device can play the target image in the form of a dynamic image, that is, when the electronic device plays the target video, the target image is fully displayed in the form of interface scrolling (for example, scrolling up and down or scrolling left and right).

[0067] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the target video, the electronic device may directly export the target video; or, after obtaining the target video, the electronic device may display a video export control on the screen, and the user may input the video export control to trigger the electronic device to export the target video.

[0068] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when exporting a target video, the electronic device may display a progress bar on the screen to prompt the user of the progress of the video export.

[0069] For example, Figure 4 As shown, when the mobile phone is exporting the target video, a progress bar 12 may be displayed on the screen to prompt the user of the progress of the video export.

[0070] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, while playing the target video, the electronic device can display the user's operation process on N interfaces in an animated form (for example, a sliding operation process or a clicking operation process, or a long press operation process, a text prompt that it is a long press operation).

[0071] For example, Figure 5 As shown, when the mobile phone is playing the target video, the operation process of the user on each interface can be displayed in the form of animation. For example, if the user long presses an icon (such as a payment icon) in the interface of the application, the mobile phone can display a prompt message, and the content of the prompt message is: the user long presses the payment icon.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can generate a target video from N screenshot images in a first order to send it to other users. This can avoid the problem of disordered sending order of multiple screenshot images when the network condition of the electronic device is poor, thereby improving the continuity and accuracy of the electronic device sending multiple screenshot images.

[0073] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, before the above step 202, the screenshot method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps 301 to 303.

[0074] Step 301: The electronic device displays a first control on the screen of the electronic device.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the first control is used to display N screenshots.

[0076] Step 302: The electronic device receives a first input from a user to a first control.

[0077] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input may be any possible form of input such as a click input or a long press input of the first control by the user, which may be determined based on actual usage requirements and is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

[0078] Step 303: The electronic device displays N screenshots on the screen of the electronic device in response to the first input.

[0079] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display N screenshots in sequence on the screen in the original size of the screenshots; or, the electronic device may display N screenshots in the form of thumbnails.

[0080] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display N screenshots on the screen in a first order.

[0081] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the mobile phone displays a first control 11 on the screen, and the user can make a first input to the first control so that the mobile phone can display N screenshots in the form of thumbnails, that is, the thumbnails are arranged horizontally in sequence on the screen of the electronic device, and the user can swipe left or right to view all thumbnails.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display a first control so that the user can directly trigger the electronic device to quickly display N screenshots through the first control, so that the user can view or edit the N screenshots.

[0083] The embodiment of the present application provides a screenshot method. When in the target screenshot mode, the electronic device can perform a screenshot operation on N interfaces according to the screenshot input of the user, obtain N screenshot images, and output a target video based on the N screenshot images. In this solution, after obtaining N screenshot images, the electronic device can directly generate a video file (i.e., the target video) based on the N screenshot images, thereby sending multiple screenshot images to other users in the form of a video file, without the user having to select each screenshot image in turn to send these screenshot images one by one. Therefore, the solution of the present application avoids the problems of missing screenshot images, sending failures, and disordered sending order, thereby simplifying user operations, improving the continuity and flexibility of the electronic device sending multiple screenshot images, and improving the human-computer interaction experience.

[0084] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, combined with Figure 1 ,like Figure 7As shown, before the above step 202, the screenshot method provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes the following steps 401 and 402, and the above step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202c.
