[0001] The present application belongs to the field of communications, and specifically relates to a method and device for image processing. Background Art

[0002] As users spend more time using electronic devices, multiple pictures may be stored in the electronic devices, including many similar pictures. When the storage space of the electronic device is insufficient, the user can use the similar picture sorting tool provided in the electronic device to sort similar pictures (for example, delete similar pictures) to free up storage space of the electronic device.

[0003] However, in existing similar picture organization tools, all similar photos are generally displayed in a tiled form in smaller thumbnails. If the user needs to view more picture details, multiple operations need to be performed on the pictures, that is, the user needs to switch back and forth, zoom in, zoom out, etc., to determine the pictures that need to be deleted or retained. Therefore, the user's processing operations on similar pictures are cumbersome, and the efficiency of electronic devices in processing similar pictures is low. Summary of the invention

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] 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.

[0023] The image processing 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.

[0024] Currently, when users process similar pictures through similar picture sorting tools, if the picture similarity is low and only one picture can be displayed at a time, the user needs to repeatedly switch interfaces and repeatedly compare similar parts of the pictures to determine pictures that do not need to be processed or retained. However, since the differences in pictures may be subtle, the user experience is poor.

[0025] Exemplarily, when a user triggers the electronic device to display a similar picture sorting interface through input, and multiple groups of similar pictures are displayed in the interface at the same time, the user can input one of the similar pictures to trigger the electronic device to delete the similar picture (for example, the first similar picture). After the user zooms in on the first similar picture, the user can view the details of the first similar picture. If the user needs to view other similar pictures in the same group, the electronic device can be triggered to exit the interface for zooming in on the current similar picture and display multiple groups of similar pictures, so that the user can input any other similar picture (for example, the second similar picture) to view the picture details of the second similar picture. If the user forgets the picture details of the first similar picture, the user can follow the previous operation, that is, exit the interface for zooming in on similar pictures, return to the interface for displaying multiple groups of similar pictures, and trigger the electronic device to zoom in on the first similar picture again. In this way, the user's operation is cumbersome and time-consuming, and the electronic device is less efficient in processing similar pictures.

[0026] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing an image. The method is based on an electronic device with a foldable screen. A user can fold the electronic device to trigger multiple display areas of the electronic device to display different similar images in the same group of similar images, so that the user can view the details of multiple similar images in the same interface to reduce the process and number of user switching. At the same time, the electronic device can subdivide similar images (for example: divide them into multiple grids of similar images) to display the specific content of any grid of similar images, showing the user more detailed image features, helping the user to better select images that need to be retained or deleted, and when the user operates any similar image, the electronic device can execute the same operation instructions on other similar images in the same group based on the user's operation on one similar image to reduce the user's operation. Therefore, the technical problem of cumbersome and low efficiency operation on similar images is solved.

[0027] The present application provides an image processing method, which is applied to an electronic device with a foldable screen. Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a picture processing provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the image processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 to 204.

[0028] Step 201: The electronic device receives a first input from a user.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, a user can make a first input to an electronic device with a foldable screen, thereby triggering the electronic device to enter an image processing mode, display an interface in the image processing mode, and display multiple display areas in the interface, so that the electronic device can display multiple similar images of the same group in the multiple display areas.

[0030] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input is used to fold a foldable screen of the electronic device.

[0031] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first input can be the user's left-right folding input of the foldable screen (i.e., folding the foldable screen with the vertical center axis of the screen of the electronic device as the dividing line), so as to trigger the electronic device to enter the image processing mode; or, the above-mentioned first input can be the user's up-and-down folding input of the foldable screen (i.e., folding the foldable screen with the horizontal center axis of the screen of the electronic device as the dividing line), so as to trigger the electronic device to enter the image processing mode; or, the above-mentioned first input can be the user's voice input to the electronic device, so as to trigger the electronic device to fold the foldable screen; the specific input can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

[0032] For example, Figure 2 As shown, taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, the user can make a first input on the screen of the mobile phone, such as folding it left and right or up and down, to trigger the electronic device to enter the image processing mode.

[0033] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the user can add a similar image processing function in a setting application or a cleaning application before making a first input to the electronic device, so that the user can set options corresponding to the similar image processing function in the image processing function setting interface, such as: the triggering conditions for triggering the electronic device to enter the image processing mode (such as the first input, etc.), the maximum number of images displayed in each display area after the electronic device enters the image processing mode, etc. If the user does not set the maximum number of images displayed in each display area, the electronic device can display the images in each display area with the default value.

[0034] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the mobile phone displays a picture processing mode interface, and displays multiple control icons in the interface (for example: a picture processing mode start control and a picture number control in the display area). The user can input any of the controls to trigger the mobile phone to perform a corresponding operation.

[0035] Step 202: The electronic device displays N pictures in at least two screen display areas in response to a first input.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, at least two screen display areas are screen display areas obtained after folding the foldable screen, and N pictures are similar pictures to be cleaned up, where N is an integer greater than 1;

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the first input from the user, the electronic device displays multiple screen display areas on the screen, and displays N pictures to be cleaned up in the multiple display areas.

[0038] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display at least two screen display areas on the screen based on the folding line according to the user's first input, and display N pictures in the at least two display areas; or the user can display N pictures according to the preset screen display areas.

[0039] It should be noted that similar pictures refer to: if the feature information or attribute information between at least two pictures is greater than a preset value, then the at least two pictures are similar pictures.

[0040] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display N pictures in multiple screen display areas of the screen in the order of shooting time of similar pictures that need to be cleaned up; or, the electronic device may display N pictures in multiple screen display areas of the screen in the reverse order of shooting time of similar pictures that need to be cleaned up; or, the electronic device may display N pictures in multiple screen display areas of the screen in the order of pre-set picture attribute information.

[0041] Exemplarily, the order of the preset picture attribute information may be: person—landscape—building—food—animal, etc.

[0042] For example, in combination Figure 2 ,like Figure 4 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , when the user sets the number of pictures displayed in each display area to 2, the mobile phone divides the screen into two left and right screen display areas after receiving the user's first left and right inputs, and displays two pictures (i.e., the first picture, the second picture, the third picture, and the fourth picture) in each of the left and right screen display areas; combined with Figure 2 ,like Figure 4 As shown in (b), when the user sets the number of pictures displayed in each display area to 2, the mobile phone divides the screen into two upper and lower screen display areas after receiving the user's first upper and lower inputs, and displays two pictures (i.e., the first picture, the second picture, the third picture, and the fourth picture) in each of the upper and lower screen display areas.

[0043] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, “displaying N pictures in at least two screen display areas” in the above step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202a.

[0044] Step 202a: The electronic device displays N pictures in at least two screen display areas according to the number of the N pictures and the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each screen display area.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display N pictures in at least two screen display areas according to the number of similar pictures to be cleaned up and the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each of the at least two screen display areas.

[0046] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the “displaying N pictures in at least two screen display areas” in the above step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202a1 or step 202a2.

[0047] Step 202a1. When the number of N pictures is equal to the maximum total number of pictures allowed to be displayed in all screen display areas, the electronic device displays at least one picture in each screen display area according to the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each screen display area to display N pictures.

[0048] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, if the number of similar pictures in the same group of similar pictures currently displayed by the electronic device is equal to the maximum total number of pictures allowed to be displayed in all display areas, the electronic device can display pictures in each screen display area according to the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each screen display area to display N pictures.

[0049] Step 202a2: When the number of N pictures is greater than the maximum total number of pictures allowed to be displayed in all screen display areas, the electronic device displays at least one picture in each screen display area according to the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each screen display area, so as to display M pictures and hide the remaining pictures.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the remaining pictures are pictures other than M pictures among the N pictures, where M is a positive integer less than N.

[0051] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, if the number of similar pictures in the same group of similar pictures currently displayed by the electronic device is greater than the maximum total number of pictures allowed to be displayed in all display areas, the electronic device may display pictures in each screen display area according to the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each screen display area, so as to display M pictures out of N pictures, and hide pictures other than M out of the N pictures, and when the user needs to display the remaining pictures, switch to display the remaining pictures; or, after the user deletes at least one picture out of the M pictures currently displayed, switch to display the remaining pictures.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display pictures in each display area according to certain rules based on the number of pictures displayed in the display area set by the user and the number of pictures that currently need to be cleaned up. Therefore, the user can view these pictures more conveniently, and it is also convenient for the user to perform subsequent operations on these pictures. In this way, the efficiency of the electronic device in processing pictures is improved.

[0053] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the above step 202a2, the image processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps 202a3 and 202a4.

[0054] Step 202a3: The electronic device receives a third input from the user.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the third input is the user's input to the target screen display area among the at least two screen display areas.

[0056] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the third input may be a click input (single-click input, double-click input, or a preset number of click inputs) of the target screen display area by the user, a long press input, or a drag input to trigger the electronic device to obtain the target screen display area for user demand processing.

[0057] Step 202a4: In response to the third input, the electronic device updates the picture displayed in the target screen display area to the remaining picture.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the third input from the user to the target screen display area, the electronic device can update the picture displayed in the target screen display area.

[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may update the pictures displayed in part of the target screen display area; or, the electronic device may update the pictures displayed in the entire screen display area; or, the electronic device may update any one picture in the target screen display area.

[0060] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the number of remaining pictures is less than the maximum total number of pictures allowed to be displayed in all screen display areas, the electronic device may update part of the pictures displayed in the target screen display area to the remaining pictures in response to a third input; when the number of remaining pictures is greater than or equal to the maximum total number of pictures allowed to be displayed in all screen display areas, the electronic device may update all the pictures displayed in the target screen display area to the remaining pictures in response to the third input; when the electronic device receives a third input from the user for a designated picture, the electronic device may update the designated picture of the target screen display area in response to the third input.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, when there is no picture required by the user among the pictures displayed in the screen display area, the user can input into any one of the multiple screen display areas to trigger the electronic device to update the picture in the target display area. In this way, the user does not need to repeatedly switch interfaces to view all similar pictures.

[0062] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the “displaying N pictures in at least two screen display areas” in the above step 202 can be specifically implemented through the following step 202a5.

[0063] Step 202a5: When the number of N pictures is less than the maximum total number of pictures allowed to be displayed in all screen display areas and is greater than the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each screen display area, the electronic device displays K pictures of a first number in the first K screen display areas of at least two screen display areas, and displays the remaining pictures in the remaining screen display areas to display N pictures.

[0064] Among them, each first number is the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in one of the first K screen display areas; the remaining screen display areas are screen display areas of at least two screen display areas except the first K screen display areas; the remaining pictures are pictures except the K first number of pictures among the N pictures, and K is an integer greater than 1.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the first K screen display areas correspond one-to-one to the K first quantities.

[0066] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, if the number of similar pictures in the same group of similar pictures currently displayed by the electronic device is less than the maximum total number of pictures allowed to be displayed in all display areas, but greater than the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each display area, the electronic device can display N pictures by displaying a first number of K pictures in the first K screen display areas and displaying the remaining pictures in the remaining display areas.

[0067] Exemplarily, if the electronic device has two display areas, the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each display area is 4, and the total number of similar pictures in the same group currently displayed by the electronic device is 6, then the electronic device displays 4 pictures in the first screen display area and 2 pictures in the second display area; if the electronic device has four display areas, the maximum number of pictures allowed to be displayed in each display area is 4, and the total number of similar pictures in the same group currently displayed by the electronic device is 13, then the electronic device displays 4 pictures in each of the first three screen display areas and displays one picture in the remaining display area.

[0068] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 202a can be specifically implemented through the following step 202a6.

[0069] Step 202a6: When the number of N pictures is equal to the number of at least two screen display areas, the electronic device displays one picture in each screen display area to display N pictures.

[0070] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, if the number of similar pictures in the same group of similar pictures currently displayed by the electronic device is equal to the total number of all display areas, the electronic device can display one picture in each screen display area to display N pictures.

[0071] Step 203: The electronic device receives a second input from the user regarding a target picture among the N pictures.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, a user may input any one of N pictures (eg, a target picture) to trigger the electronic device to process the N pictures.

[0073] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the second input includes two sub-inputs, namely a first sub-input and a second sub-input, the first sub-input is the user's selection input for a target image, and the second sub-input is the user's first input to the screen, and after receiving the user's selection input for the target image and the first input to the screen, the electronic device splits each of the N images into L grid images.

[0074] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first sub-input is a click input (such as a single-click input, a double-click input, or any number of click inputs) of the target image by the user, a long press input, or a sliding input, etc., to trigger the electronic device to obtain the image selected by the user; the second sub-input is a first left-right input or a first up-down input of the user to the screen, to trigger the electronic device to process N images.

[0075] Step 204: The electronic device processes N pictures in response to the second input.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the second input from the user, the electronic device can perform the same operation on N pictures according to the user's operation on the target picture.

[0077] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned processing of N pictures can be understood as performing processing such as enlarging, reducing, rotating, flipping, deleting, retaining, etc. on the N pictures.

[0078] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing an image. The electronic device can display N images in at least two screen display areas according to a first input from a user, wherein the at least two screen display areas are screen display areas obtained after folding a foldable screen, and the N images are similar images to be cleaned up, where N is an integer greater than 1; receive a second input from a user for a target image among the N images; and process the N images in response to the second input. Since the electronic device can display multiple similar images in the same group in multiple display areas obtained after folding the screen after the user performs a first input on the foldable screen, the user can view the details of multiple similar images in the same interface, thereby reducing the process and number of user switching; and the user can process (for example, zoom in) any one of the multiple similar images to trigger the electronic device to perform the same processing on other similar images in the same group based on the user's processing of the any one similar image, thereby reducing the user's operations, thus saving the time spent on user operations and improving the efficiency of the electronic device in processing similar images.

[0079] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the “processing N pictures” in the above step 204 can be specifically implemented through the following steps 204a to 204c.

[0080] Step 204a: The electronic device divides each of the N pictures into L grid images.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, L is an integer greater than 1.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the user's second input for the target image, the electronic device can split each of the N images into L grid images, so that the user can input any one of the L grid images of the target image to trigger the electronic device to perform the same operation on the image in the grid corresponding to the N images.

[0083] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device splits each of N pictures into L grids, it can set numbers for each grid of the L grids in a preset order. For example: after splitting each picture into 4 grids, it can set numbers for each grid in the order of upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right, namely the first grid, the second grid, the third grid, and the fourth grid.

[0084] For example, in combination Figure 4 (a) in Figure 5 As shown in (a) in the figure, the mobile phone can split each of the N pictures into 4 grid images, and divide the first picture, the second picture, the third picture, and the fourth picture in the left and right screen display areas into 4 grids; combined with Figure 4 (b) in Figure 5As shown in (b), the mobile phone can split each of the N pictures into 4 grid images, and divide the first picture, the second picture, the third picture, and the fourth picture in the upper and lower screen display areas into 4 grids.

[0085] Step 204b: The electronic device receives a fourth input from the user regarding a first grid image of a first picture among the N pictures.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device splits each of N pictures into L grids, it can input the first grid image of the first picture to trigger the electronic device to process the first grid image and the grid images corresponding to the first grid image in the N pictures other than the first picture.

[0087] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the fourth input can be a user's click input (such as single-click input, double-click input, or any number of click inputs), long press input, or sliding input, etc., on the first grid image, to trigger the electronic device to input the first grid image of the first picture, and at the same time process the grid images in other pictures corresponding to the first grid image.

[0088] Step 204c: the electronic device processes the first grid image and N-1 second grid images in response to the fourth input.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, each second grid image is a grid image corresponding to the first grid image in one of the N-1 pictures.

[0090] It should be noted that the N-1 pictures are the pictures in the N pictures except the first picture, and each second grid image is a grid image in one of the N-1 pictures corresponding to the first grid image, which can be understood as: the grid image of the second grid in the N-1 pictures, or the grid image in the N-1 pictures with the greatest similarity to the first grid image.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the user's input on the first grid image, the electronic device processes the grid images corresponding to the N pictures.

[0092] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device updates the picture displayed in the target screen display area to the remaining picture, the remaining picture is a picture split into L grids.

[0093] Exemplarily, if the user performs a zoom-in input on the first grid image, the electronic device responds to the zoom-in input and simultaneously zooms in N-1 second grid images.

[0094] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the “processing the first grid image and N-1 second grid images” in the above step 204c can be specifically implemented by the following step 204c1.

[0095] Step 204c1: the electronic device switches the first picture to a first grid image for display, and switches N-1 pictures to N-1 second grid images for display.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, N-1 pictures are pictures other than the first picture in the N pictures.

[0097] Each second grid image is a grid image in one of the N-1 images corresponding to the position of the first grid image; or each second grid image is a grid image in one of the N-1 images with the greatest similarity to the first grid image.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the fourth input of the user to the first grid image, the electronic device can switch the first picture to the first grid image for display, and switch all pictures among N pictures except the first picture to the grid image corresponding to each picture for display, that is, the second grid image.

[0099] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after receiving user input on the first grid image, the electronic device switches the first picture to the first grid image for display, and switches N-1 pictures to N-1 second grid images for display.

[0100] For example, in combination Figure 5 (a) in Figure 6 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the user can make a fourth input to the first grid image of the first picture displayed on the left and right screens to trigger the mobile phone to switch the first picture to the first grid image for display, and also switch the second picture, the third picture and the fourth picture to the second grid image corresponding to the first grid image for display. Figure 5 (b) in Figure 6 As shown in (b), the user can make a fourth input on the first grid image of the first picture displayed in the upper and lower screens to trigger the mobile phone to switch the first picture to the first grid image for display, and also switch the second picture, the third picture and the fourth picture to the second grid image corresponding to the first grid image for display.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, a user can input any grid image of any picture to trigger the electronic device to switch the picture to the any grid image for display, and also switch the remaining pictures to the grid images corresponding to the any grid image for display. In this way, the user can view the detailed content of all pictures through simple operations without the user repeatedly switching interfaces, and distinguish all images by memorizing the detailed content of the pictures.
