[0053] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this disclosure described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The data involved in this disclosure may be user-authorized or fully authorized by the parties. 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.

[0055] It should also be understood that the term "comprising" indicates the presence of the described feature, whole, step, operation, element and / or component, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components.

[0056] Electronic signage typically displays content in the form of images, which are usually generated using third-party drawing tools such as Photoshop and ProcessOn. However, these third-party drawing tools often cannot be integrated with application services. Therefore, application services face the need to integrate image generation functionality.

[0057] Java-based third-party drawing tools (such as JViews and Edraw) can meet the communication needs between application services and drawing tools. However, these drawing tools are usually not open source or require payment, and they are generally quite independent, making them difficult to integrate with application services.

[0058] Alternatively, you can use the Graphics2D tool from Java's native classes to draw directly within the application service. However, because this drawing method is similar to a drawing board tool, all elements in the image need to be redrawn by the user each time, resulting in low drawing efficiency.

[0059] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides an image generation method applied to electronic devices. The electronic device combines graphic elements to generate a preliminary image and performs graphic transformation based on configuration information to obtain the target image. This method automates the drawing and graphic transformation processes, replacing the manual drawing method used by users and improving drawing efficiency.

[0060] Figure 1 This is an electronic device illustrated according to an exemplary embodiment. The electronic device may include a processor 102, which is configured to execute application code to implement the image generation method and image acquisition method of this disclosure.

[0061] Processor 102 may include one or more processing cores, such as a quad-core processor, an octa-core processor, etc. Processor 102 may include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a central processing unit (CPU), a controller, memory, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and / or a neural network processing unit (NPU), etc. Different processing units may be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device may further include a memory 103. The memory 103 stores application code that executes the present disclosure and is controlled by the processor 102 for execution.

[0063] The memory 103 may be a read-only memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device capable of storing static information and instructions, random access memory (RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device capable of storing information and instructions, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM) or other optical disc storage, optical disc storage (including compressed optical discs, laser discs, optical discs, digital universal optical discs, Blu-ray discs, etc.), magnetic disk storage media or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and accessible by a computer, but not limited thereto. The memory 103 may exist independently and be connected to the processor 102 via bus 104. The memory 103 may also be integrated with the processor 102.

[0064] like Figure 1As shown, the electronic device may also include a communication interface 101, wherein the communication interface 101, the processor 102, and the memory 103 may be coupled to each other, for example, through a bus 104. The communication interface 101 is used for information interaction with other devices, for example, supporting information interaction between the electronic device and other devices.

[0065] It should be pointed out that, Figure 1 The device structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the electronic device, except... Figure 1 In addition to the components shown, the electronic device may include more or fewer components than illustrated, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0066] The image generation method and image acquisition method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] Figure 2 This is an exemplary embodiment illustrating an image generation method applied to an electronic device. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0068] Step 21: The electronic device responds to the drawing instructions and acquires the graphic elements and configuration information.

[0069] Graphical elements include the shape of the element (also known as basic elements, such as triangles, squares, etc.) and the attributes of the element (also known as attribute information, such as position attributes, color attributes, font attributes, etc.).

[0070] Specifically, electronic devices can acquire graphic elements in two ways: either by directly acquiring different graphic elements, or by acquiring basic elements and their attribute information, and then generating graphic elements based on these basic elements and attribute information. The basic elements include the shape of the element, and the attribute information includes the element's properties.

[0071] For example, an image might have two basic elements: a square and a circle. Both the square and the circle have positional attributes. The square's positional attributes are: 10 units from the left, 50 units from the right, 10 units from the top, and 50 units from the bottom of the background image. The circle's positional attributes are also: 50 units from the left, 10 units from the right, 50 units from the top, and 10 units from the bottom of the background image. The square and its positional attributes together form a square element (graphical element), and the circle and its positional attributes together form a circle element (graphical element). Thus, an image containing these two graphic elements (square and circle elements) would look like this: Figure 3As shown, square element 31 is located in the upper left corner of background image 30, and circular element 32 is located in the lower right corner of background image 30. The length of one unit in the attribute information is preset based on the corresponding side length in the background image. For example, if the left side length of the background image is 100 centimeters (cm), and the left side length of a basic element is 5 units, then the left side length of that basic element is 5cm.

[0072] In the above scheme, the electronic device generates graphic elements based on basic elements and attribute information, so that images can be automatically generated based on the graphic elements in the future, thereby improving drawing efficiency.

[0073] The electronic device can obtain basic elements and their attribute information in two ways: either by directly acquiring the basic elements and their attribute information, or by acquiring an image template file, parsing the template file, and then obtaining the basic elements and their attribute information. The template file is pre-defined, for example, a system default template file, or a template file generated according to user requirements. The template file should be in a parsable format, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML) or JSON.

[0074] In the above scheme, the electronic device parses the template file to obtain the basic elements and their attribute information, so as to generate graphic elements based on the basic elements and attribute information, and automatically generate images based on the graphic elements, which can improve drawing efficiency.

[0075] Optionally, the configuration information includes at least one of graphic transformation and electrophoretic display (EPD) conversion. Graphic transformation and EPD conversion are used to instruct the electronic device to perform graphic transformation on the preliminary image generated based on graphic elements to adapt to image display requirements, offering good adaptability.

[0076] Optionally, the configuration information also includes the number of threads and file paths.

[0077] The thread count indicates the number of images the electronic device can generate simultaneously. Specifically, upon receiving multiple drawing commands, the electronic device, based on the thread count in the configuration information, activates multiple threads (corresponding to the thread count) through a thread pool to process these multiple drawing commands simultaneously, thereby enabling image generation in multiple threads. Therefore, this electronic device supports concurrent drawing, improving image generation efficiency.

[0078] The file path is used to indicate the image cache path, or the storage path of the target service, or the calling path of the target service, wherein the target service is used to implement the image generation method in this disclosure.

[0079] Step 22: The electronic device combines graphic elements to generate a preliminary image.

[0080] Specifically, graphical elements are combined using drawing tools in the java.awt package to generate a preliminary image. For example, the Graphics2D tool in the java.awt package.

[0081] For example, an electronic device can use the following code to call the Graphics2D tool to generate the background color of an image.

[0082] if(getBgColor()!=null){ / / If the background color property is not empty.

[0083] g2d.setBackground(getBgColor());}

[0084] / / Generate background color based on background color attributes.

[0085] In the above scheme, the electronic device uses drawing tools (such as Graphics2D) in the Java.awt package to generate images. Since the Graphics2D tool is a class in the native JDK, it has good cross-platform performance and can support the generation of various basic graphics, making it highly functional.

[0086] Step 23: The electronic device performs graphic conversion on the preliminary image based on the configuration information to obtain the target image.

[0087] Specifically, when the configuration information includes image transformation, the electronic device uses image processing tools in the java.awt package to perform image transformation on the initial image to obtain the target image. For example, the BufferedImage tool in the java.awt package.

[0088] For example, the following code can be used to rotate the initial image.

[0089] if (null != image.getRotate()) { / / If the rotation rule is not empty / /

[0090] bi=rotateImage(bi,image.getRotate());}

[0091] / / Rotate the initial image using the rotation rules.

[0092] In the above solution, the electronic device can perform graphic transformations on the initial image to adapt to the image display requirements, and has good adaptability.

[0093] When the configuration information includes EPD conversion, the electronic device calls the EPD conversion service through the target interface to perform graphic conversion on the preliminary image and obtain the target image.

[0094] Specifically, since different EPD devices use different data formats, different EPD conversions may be required depending on the device. To address this, electronic devices can define a target interface and call the corresponding EPD conversion service to perform image conversion on the initial image to obtain the target image.

[0095] For example, the target interface can be defined using the following code.

[0096] public interface EpdHandleService{

[0097] String getHandledBase64(String imageBase64);}.

[0098] / / Define the target interface.

[0099] In this way, electronic devices can call the target interface through the following code to achieve graphics conversion.

[0100] String result=epdHandleService.getHandledBase64(imageBase64Str).

[0101] / / Call the target interface.

[0102] In the above solution, the electronic device can perform EPD conversion on the initial image to meet the image display requirements, and has good adaptability.

[0103] Optionally, in this image generation method, the electronic device can also render the target object.

[0104] Specifically, the electronic device loads the renderer corresponding to the target object and renders the target object. The renderer is generated based on user requirements, and the target object includes graphic elements and target images.

[0105] For example, a user requirement might include changing the color of a cell based on the number it contains; for instance, a cell with a number less than 10 would be displayed in red, and one with a number greater than 10 would be displayed in green. In this case, a renderer corresponding to the user's requirement would be generated to fulfill that requirement.

[0106] In the above solution, the electronic device can load the corresponding renderer to render the target object according to the user's needs, which improves drawing efficiency and better meets the user's needs.

[0107] Optionally, if the target object is a graphic element, such as Figure 4 As shown, after step 21, the image generation method further includes step 24a.

[0108] Step 24a: The electronic device loads the first renderer corresponding to the graphic element and renders the graphic element.

[0109] The first renderer is generated based on user requirements.

[0110] In the above solution, the electronic device can render graphic elements before generating images, thus decoupling business logic processing from automatic image generation.

[0111] Optionally, if the target object is a target image, such as Figure 5 As shown, after step 23, the image generation method further includes step 24b.

[0112] Step 24b: The electronic device calls the second renderer through the first interface to render the graphic elements in the target image.

[0113] The second renderer is generated based on user requirements.

[0114] Specifically, after obtaining the target image, based on the user's needs, the second renderer can be called from the first interface by inheriting the Section class to render the graphic elements in the target image. For example, if the user's requirement is that different rows of a table need to be filled with different colors, then the first interface (defined as SectionRenderer) can be customized.

[0115] For example, the definition of the first interface can be implemented using the following code.

[0116] public interface SectionRenderer<T extendsSection> {

[0117] T renderPolicy(Tsection);}. / / Define the first interface.

[0118] Then, the electronic device calls the second renderer through the first interface to render the graphic elements in the target image.

[0119] In the above scheme, the electronic device can render the target image after generating the image and converting the graphics, and it has strong scalability.

[0120] Optionally, in this disclosure, graphic elements can also be customized by inheriting the Section class. For example, a base element can be defined in the template file as a triangle, with attributes for the length, color, and position of each side, and its base class can be the Section class. When the electronic device parses the customized graphic element in the template file, it can determine whether to generate the graphic element (triangle element) based on whether the triangle element inherits from the Section class in its declaration. This achieves automatic generation of custom graphic elements.

[0121] The technical solutions provided in this disclosure offer at least the following beneficial effects:

[0122] In the above solution, the electronic device combines graphic elements to generate a preliminary image, and then transforms the preliminary image according to the configuration information to obtain the target image. It can automatically perform drawing and graphic transformation, replacing the image generation method of manual drawing by users and improving drawing efficiency.

[0123] Figure 6 This is an exemplary embodiment illustrating a method for acquiring an image, which is applied to an electronic device. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0124] Step 31: The electronic device responds to the request to acquire the target image and determines the target service.

[0125] The target service is used to achieve the above. Figure 2 , Figure 4 ,or Figure 5 The image generation method shown in any of the options.

[0126] Optionally, this disclosure can be based on the Spring Boot framework, constructing a target service according to the image generation method to encapsulate the image generation functionality. Here, the target service can be a service interface or a dependency file.

[0127] Specifically, based on the Spring Boot framework, a target service can be built according to the image generation method. A drawing interface can be provided in the Controller so that other application services can call the image generation method through the drawing interface, thereby achieving automatic image generation without a visual interface.

[0128] Alternatively, based on the Spring Boot framework, a target service can be built according to the image generation method, generating a JAR file. This JAR file can then be used as a dependency file to provide drawing support for other projects, thereby achieving the function of automatically generating images.

[0129] The above solution, using the Spring Boot framework, treats the target service as a service interface or a dependency file to achieve automatic image generation. This allows users to integrate the target service as a dependency file into other projects or run it independently as a service in different use cases, thus meeting the needs of application services integrating image generation functionality.

[0130] Step 32: The electronic device calls the target service to obtain the target image.

[0131] The technical solutions provided in this disclosure offer at least the following beneficial effects:

[0132] In the above solution, when the electronic device receives a request to obtain the target image, it can obtain the target image by calling the target service, thus avoiding the problem that all elements in the image need to be drawn manually by the user during the drawing process, and improving the drawing efficiency.

[0133] The above combination Figures 2-5 This disclosure details the image generation method provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. To achieve the above functions, the image generation apparatus includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to each function, and these hardware structures and / or software modules can constitute an electronic device. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize that, based on the algorithm steps of the examples described in conjunction with the embodiments disclosed herein, this disclosure can be implemented in hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in hardware or by computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered beyond the scope of this disclosure.

[0134] This disclosure embodiment can divide an electronic device into functional modules based on the above-described image generation method example. For example, the electronic device may include an image generation device, which can be divided into functional modules corresponding to various functions, or two or more functions can be integrated into one processing module. The integrated module can be implemented in hardware or as a software functional module. It should be noted that the module division in this disclosure embodiment is illustrative and only represents one logical functional division; in actual implementation, there may be other division methods.
