[0002] The sharing economy provides tangible convenience to the public in their daily lives, enabling the rational and full use of resources and allowing people to conveniently and quickly pay for services without having to purchase the entire product; examples include shared bicycles, shared cars, and shared power banks; while some entertainment-oriented shared products, such as shared KTVs, also enrich users' spiritual and cultural lives.

[0003] A 360-degree panoramic photo booth, also known as a 360-degree panoramic shooting platform or 360Photobooth, is a platform that allows for shooting from all angles, offering a more advanced entertainment experience compared to ordinary selfies. Users of this product are mostly trendsetters and fashionistas who have high demands and sensitivity regarding appearance, visual impact, and the overall user experience.

[0004] A single panoramic photo booth is quite expensive. When deployed as a shared product, similar to shared KTVs, in shopping malls and entertainment venues, it satisfies users' entertainment needs while improving resource utilization, achieving a win-win situation. However, the deployment of shared panoramic photo booths presents the following problems:

[0005] Shared panoramic photo booths are typically limited in number, unlike shared bicycles or shared power banks where multiple products can serve multiple users, creating a supply exceeding demand. Furthermore, shared panoramic photo booths capture image files, which, compared to shared karaoke booths capturing audio, are smaller and easier to transmit. Image files require processing and rendering, and the subsequent transmission of larger image files to the user's designated receiver is a lengthy process. When multiple users are involved, the panoramic photo booth, when used as a shared facility, can easily lead to long queues, low equipment efficiency, and extended waiting times for users. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Furthermore, the automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth also includes the following steps:

[0018] The control system is connected to the display screen, and the user interface receives the user's touch operation and pushes video works to the display screen for playback.

[0019] Furthermore, the automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth also includes the following steps:

[0020] The user interface receives the user's touch operation, generates an acquisition link for the image work transmitted to the server storage unit, and pushes it to the display screen to display a third QR code corresponding to the acquisition link.

[0021] Furthermore, the automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth specifically includes the following steps:

[0022] The user interface receives touch operations from the user, and the control system can be configured to add audio and / or video materials when capturing video works; when the verification device scans the second QR code and activates the usage rights of the panoramic photo booth, the panoramic photo booth adds the audio and video materials when capturing video works.

[0023] Furthermore, the automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth also includes the following steps:

[0024] The server is associated with a WeChat official account, and the mobile terminal has a WeChat client installed. The server pushes the second QR code bound to the user's WeChat ID to the WeChat client of the mobile terminal through the WeChat official account.

[0025] When the verification device scans the second QR code and activates the usage permission of the panoramic photo booth, the control system controls the panoramic photo booth to capture images and transmits the images to the server through the first communication module; the server pushes the images to the WeChat client of the mobile terminal corresponding to the user's WeChat ID through the WeChat official account.

[0042] This embodiment provides an automatic sharing method for a panoramic photo booth, applied to a panoramic photo booth automatic sharing system. The panoramic photo booth automatic sharing system includes a panoramic photo booth, a server, and a control system. The server includes a first communication module, and the panoramic photo booth includes a second communication module. The control system includes a user interface and a verification device. A mobile terminal and the control system communicate with the server via the first communication module for data transmission and command sending and receiving. The panoramic photo booth can receive control commands from the mobile terminal and the control system via the second communication module and then execute them. The method includes the following steps:

[0043] The mobile terminal accesses a page that collects user configuration information; the user configuration information includes the work receiving end specified by the user.

[0044] The server obtains user configuration information data submitted by the mobile terminal through the first communication module; and pushes a second QR code containing user configuration information to the mobile terminal through the first communication module.

[0045] The verification device scans the second QR code, and when it determines that the code contains the specified receiving end information, the control system pushes a control command to the panoramic photo booth through the second communication module to activate the usage permission.

[0046] The control system controls the panoramic photo booth to capture images and transmits them to the server via the first communication module; the server then sends the images to the corresponding user-designated receiving terminal.

[0047] In some embodiments, the verification device can be a camera installed in the control system. The control system calls the verification device. When the panoramic photo booth is not in use, the verification device continues to scan until it scans the second QR code displayed on the mobile terminal, performs verification, and activates the usage permission. The images captured by the panoramic photo booth are bound to the current user ID, and the captured images are sent to the work receiving terminal designated by the user with the corresponding user ID.

[0048] The automatic sharing method of this panoramic photo booth allows for time-saving and orderly allocation of multiple users waiting in line to use the panoramic photo booth:

[0049] Preferably, the mobile terminal scans the first QR code, which refers to the page that collects user configuration information.

[0050] In addition, mobile devices can also access the page that collects user configuration information through the corresponding link displayed in the WeChat official account dialog box; or by entering the access address in the mobile device browser.

[0051] In the preferred embodiment, the first QR code can be displayed on a screen or placed around the circular photo booth as an image, allowing multiple users to scan it separately. After scanning the first QR code, the mobile terminal is redirected to a page that collects user configuration information. The user configuration information includes the user's designated receiving end, which includes, but is not limited to, mobile MMS receiving numbers, email addresses, WhatsApp numbers, Facebook, Weibo, WeChat, AirDrop, Twitter, QQ, local storage space, etc. The user needs to perform corresponding account binding verification in the user configuration information. Different users have different operation speeds, so even if a user scans the first QR code first to select and modify their user configuration information, they may submit their user configuration information later than users who scan the first QR code later to select and modify their user configuration information, and then generate the second QR code.

[0052] This method involves first modifying user configuration information, i.e., pushing a second QR code to the mobile terminal. Users with the second QR code can scan it using a verification device to activate their access to the panoramic photo booth. The control system, combined with the panoramic photo booth, captures images. When a user selects a duration corresponding to their chosen usage time, they can leave at their designated time. The control system uses a background thread to process and transmit image data. This background thread does not affect the mobile terminal or the control system's front-end user interface display. The verification device returns to the second QR code scanning status, and the next user can then activate their access. Because the control system transmits the images to the server via a first communication module, and the server automatically sends the images to the designated receiver for the user's corresponding user ID, users do not need to wait for their images to be transmitted at their designated time, thus avoiding queues for other users.

[0053] This method can greatly solve the problems of long queues and low equipment utilization efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, the verification device is installed on the rotating shooting bracket of the panoramic photo booth. After the verification device scans the second QR code displayed on the mobile terminal for verification, the verification device, which has a lens, is called by the control system. Because the position of the verification device has been adapted and adjusted, the quality of the captured image is better. The control system processes, renders and stores the captured image file locally.

[0055] When the verification device of the control system is used to collect video works, if the user wants to transfer the collected video works to the mobile terminal for local storage, the control system transmits them to the server through the first communication module, and the server transmits them to the mobile terminal for local storage through the first communication module.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the number of other mobile terminals that have scanned the first QR code is lower than a predetermined value, and there are basically no users queuing or very few users queuing, users who have acquired image files using the panoramic photo booth can edit and share their image files through the user interface of the control system.

[0057] It works well. When there are few users and little or no queue, the mobile terminal scans the first QR code displayed on the screen, specifying that the control system collects user configuration information. The control system's initial user interface receives the user's touch input to select the style of the captured image, such as photo, video, slow motion, swivel, GIF, etc. The control system then receives the user's touch input to press the shutter button, entering shooting mode, and the camera begins recording the image. The user interface then receives the user's touch input to select the sharing recipient, such as an MMS receiving number, email address, or sharing via a third-party app. After the server processes the data, it sends the image to the designated recipient according to the user's selected sharing method. Once sent, the control system automatically returns to the initial user interface, awaiting the next user's action. The control system includes a countdown module; each step can be configured with a countdown timer. If no action is taken within the specified time, the system automatically jumps to the next page using the default selection. This cycle repeats, enabling an unattended sharing station mode.

[0058] The automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth specifically includes the following steps:

[0059] When the verification device scans the second QR code and activates the access permission of the panoramic photo booth, the user interface receives the user's touch operation, and the control system configures the driving device of the panoramic photo booth to drive the operating parameters of the rotating shooting bracket. The operating parameters include the rotation speed, rotation direction, and rotation duration of the rotating shooting bracket.

[0060] The panoramic photo booth receives and executes the operating parameters through a second communication module.

[0061] By selecting and combining the rotation speed control parameters, rotation direction control parameters, and rotation duration control parameters of the rotating shooting bracket driven by the drive device, corresponding rotation speed control commands, rotation direction control commands, and rotation duration control commands are generated. After activating the usage rights of the panoramic photo booth, these operating parameters are finally sent to the drive device of the panoramic photo booth. The drive device includes a programmable MCU central processing unit, a power supply circuit, a motor drive module, a motor current detection circuit, a motor, and a transmission component. The MCU central processing unit analyzes and processes the operating parameters and controls the motor to execute. The motor outputs power to the rotating shooting bracket through the transmission component. When the shooting equipment installed on the rotating shooting bracket is capturing images, it moves with the rotating shooting bracket, enriching the visual effects of the captured images.

[0062] The automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth specifically includes the following steps:

[0063] The user interface receives touch operations from the user, the control system establishes a connection with one or more of the mobile terminals, and the server pushes video works to one or more of the mobile terminals for playback and display through the first communication module.

[0064] After the control system establishes a connection with one or more of the mobile terminals, the one or more mobile terminals gain access permissions, and the multiple mobile terminals can access and play the corresponding video works shared by the user.

[0065] When a user uses the control system to capture video works, the video works are stored in the storage unit of the control system. The mobile terminal can establish a connection and communication with the control system through the local area network, reducing the process of transmitting video works through the first communication module and the server. The mobile terminal can directly download and display video works from the control system.

[0066] The automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth also includes the following steps:

[0067] The control system is connected to the display screen, and the user interface receives the user's touch operation and pushes video works to the display screen for playback.

[0068] The control system and display screen can push locally stored image files to the display screen for playback via extended projection or mirroring.

[0069] The automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth also includes the following steps:

[0070] The user interface receives the user's touch operation, generates an acquisition link for the image work transmitted to the server storage unit, and pushes it to the display screen to display a third QR code corresponding to the acquisition link.

[0071] The current user and other users can scan the QR code displayed on the screen to browse or download video works.

[0072] In addition, access permissions can be set, allowing multiple mobile devices with access permissions to access the corresponding video works shared by the user.

[0073] The mobile terminal connects to the display screen via Wi-Fi or wired connection. In some embodiments, it connects via HDMI. The mobile terminal can have a pre-installed extended user interface, which includes the playback screen of the video work and a third-party QR code image. The mobile terminal extends this user interface to the display screen, so that other users can scan the QR code on the display screen to download the work without affecting other business operations of the mobile terminal and the control system.

[0074] In some embodiments, the display screen can be configured for screen mirroring. In this case, the interface of the mobile terminal / control system and the interface of the display screen remain consistent. In the screen mirroring user interface, once the video work has been captured and uploaded, a QR code image of the latest work is displayed on the display screen for the user to scan and download.

[0075] The user interface receives touch operations from the user, and the control system can be configured to add audio and / or video materials when capturing video works; when the verification device scans the second QR code and activates the usage rights of the panoramic photo booth, the panoramic photo booth adds the audio and video materials when capturing video works.

[0076] The user interface receives touch operations from the user and collects user-specified shooting background images, stickers, background music, and other materials, adding a personalized effect. In subsequent steps, the panoramic photo booth shooting equipment adds these corresponding materials when collecting the image works based on the configured relevant materials.

[0077] In some embodiments, the user configuration information interface can call template files from the mobile terminal, control system, and server database for users to select. Users can also customize their own selected materials to generate templates, which are then shared in the template database for other users to use. Since the supporting stage of a panoramic photo booth has a limited capacity, if a group has a large number of users, the panoramic photo booth can be used in batches, sharing the same set of templates.

[0078] The automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth also includes the following steps:

[0079] The mobile terminal screen and / or the displayed screen receive the user's touch operation and share the image works transmitted to the server storage unit to a predetermined works library.

[0080] Individual users can upload and share their video works to a pre-defined library.

[0081] If a group has a large number of users, they can use the panoramic photo booth in batches. Each batch of users can set up their video works in the user configuration information interface and upload them to the designated space of the server's video library after the collection is completed. The video works taken by all users participating in the same gathering sharing station can be shared with each other.

[0082] In some embodiments, the space artwork library can be configured with an administrator. The administrator creates a shared site as the space artwork library and sets the main parameters. The administrator can manage the works and albums of all shared sites, delete or clean up the space, manage the materials of the shared sites, etc.; and manage the works of all members participating in the shared sites.

[0083] In some implementations, when an administrator creates a shared site, they can select multiple stickers and combine them into a single sticker, allowing for flexible sticker customization. When creating an activity, the administrator can set the file size and whether participants can modify the stickers and background music. The administrator can also set a countdown timer for each step of the shared site or automatic sharing site.

[0084] User configuration information may also include setting the theme name of the group sharing station, preset parameters for capturing images, such as the rotation speed, direction, and duration of the rotating shooting bracket in a panoramic photo booth; parameters for shooting ratio, frame rate, duration, countdown timer for entering shooting, video or photo resolution, compression level, slow motion frame rate, filter level, and beauty level when the mobile terminal and / or control system captures images; and setting parameters for designated stickers, background images, and background music. Other mobile terminal devices can join the sharing station by scanning a QR code and enter the sharing station's user interface. They can then select which terminal device to use for capturing images. If a device joins as a capture device, its user interface displays the pre-configured shooting page UI, including shooting style selection buttons and a one-click shooting button. If a device joins as a regular sharing device, its user interface displays the sharing UI, showing the current list of works in the sharing station.

[0085] In some embodiments, the steps for an end user to use the sharing station are as follows: 1. Select the shooting format, such as photo or video; 2. After selection, the mobile terminal screen and / or the displayed screen receives the user's touch operation to enter the shooting mode. At this time, there is a voice broadcast of the countdown time, and after the countdown, the video shooting begins; 3. After the video shooting is completed, the user enters the editing user interface. In this interface, the user can edit the photo or video, such as adding stickers, adding frames, adding text, adding dynamic effects, video cropping, filter effects, adding beauty filters, etc.; 4. After the mobile terminal screen and / or the displayed screen receives the user's touch operation to edit the image work, the mobile terminal screen and / or the control system starts to automatically render and generate the work. According to the sharing method selected by the user, such as SMS, email, QR code image, WhatsApp, etc., after the user fills in the sharing method, the system sends the work to the user to the specified sharing address; 5. After the work is sent, the system automatically returns to the initial page, waiting for the next user to shoot; thus, the function of the sharing station is completed; each step of the above sharing station has a countdown time. If the time is exceeded, it will automatically jump to the next step to avoid waiting time and reduced device efficiency.

[0086] The automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth also includes the following steps:

[0087] The server is associated with a WeChat official account, and the mobile terminal has a WeChat client installed. The server pushes the second QR code bound to the user's WeChat ID to the WeChat client of the mobile terminal through the WeChat official account.

[0088] When the verification device scans the second QR code and activates the usage permission of the panoramic photo booth, the control system controls the panoramic photo booth to capture images and transmits the images to the server through the first communication module; the server pushes the images to the WeChat client of the mobile terminal corresponding to the user's WeChat ID through the WeChat official account.

[0089] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal scans the first QR code displayed on the screen, collects the user configuration information page and guides the user to follow a WeChat subscription account. The subscription account automatically pushes a QR code bound to the user's WeChat ID. When the user uses the QR code to scan the verification device, the control system parses the QR code and simultaneously invokes the WeChat payment interface. After the user pays the specified fee, the usage permission is activated, and the control system starts to control the panoramic photo booth to take images. After the images are captured and rendered, the images are automatically sent to the user's WeChat ID, realizing an automatic sharing mode with self-payment.

[0090] In some embodiments, when multiple users complete the submission of user configuration information and payment information data, the server can sort them according to the payment order, so that the verification of the second QR code can be divided in an orderly manner again, and the number of people in the queue can be displayed on the mobile terminal page.

[0091] The automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth specifically includes the following steps:

[0092] The mobile terminal accesses a page that collects user configuration information; the user configuration information page also includes a payment interface.

[0093] The server acquires payment information data; upon determining that the payment has been successful, the server pushes a second QR code corresponding to the user ID to the mobile terminal; the second QR code contains payment success information, user WeChat ID information, and operating parameters;

[0094] The verification device scans the second QR code, and after determining that the payment has been successful, the control system pushes a control command to the panoramic photo booth through the second communication module to activate the usage permission.

[0095] The operating parameters can be pre-selected and confirmed on the page that collects user configuration information after scanning the first QR code on the mobile terminal, optimizing the operation process and avoiding subsequent user waiting.

[0096] The automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth also includes the following steps:

[0097] The server is associated with a WeChat mini-program backend server, the mobile terminal runs a WeChat mini-program, and the server pushes the second QR code bound to the user's WeChat ID to the WeChat mini-program running on the mobile terminal through the WeChat mini-program backend server.

[0098] When the verification device scans the second QR code and activates the usage permission of the panoramic photo booth, the control system controls the panoramic photo booth to capture images and transmits the images to the server through the first communication module; the server pushes the images to the WeChat mini program running on the mobile terminal of the corresponding user's WeChat ID through the WeChat mini program backend server.

[0099] In summary, this automatic sharing method for the panoramic photo booth can pre-collect various user configuration information, solving the problems of long queues and low equipment utilization efficiency caused by multiple users.
