[0001] This application belongs to the field of computer technology, and specifically relates to an image management method, an image management device, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, traditional image management methods are typically limited to viewing images that have already been edited. However, if an image requires different edits for different objects, then the mobile device needs to store images edited for each object. This approach consumes a significant amount of storage space, and some images may have only minor differences. Users may face difficulties finding edited images for specific objects, requiring considerable time and effort to locate them, resulting in a lack of operational flexibility and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an image management method, image management device, electronic device, and readable storage medium that can solve the problem of inflexibility in traditional image management methods.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an image management method, which includes: obtaining historical editing information of a first image when communicating with a first object through a communication application; editing the first image to obtain a second image when the historical editing information includes first editing information; or, using the first image as the second image when the historical editing information does not include the first editing information; and displaying the second image; wherein the first editing information is editing information associated with the first object.

[0005] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an image management device, comprising an acquisition module for acquiring historical editing information of a first image when communicating with a first object via a communication application; a processing module for editing the first image to obtain a second image based on the first editing information when the historical editing information includes first editing information; or, using the first image as the second image when the historical editing information does not include the first editing information; and a display module for displaying the second image; wherein the first editing information is editing information associated with the first object.

[0006] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device including a processor and a memory, the memory storing programs or instructions executable on the processor, the programs or instructions, when executed by the processor, implementing the steps of the method described in the first aspect.

[0008] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a chip, the chip including a processor and a communication interface, the communication interface being coupled to the processor, the processor being used to run programs or instructions to implement the method as described in the first aspect.

[0009] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product stored in a storage medium, which is executed by at least one processor to implement the method described in the first aspect.

[0010] In this embodiment, when communicating with a first object via a communication application, historical editing information of a first image is obtained. If the historical editing information includes first editing information, the first image is edited according to the first editing information to obtain a second image; or, if the historical editing information includes first editing information, the first image is edited according to the first editing information to obtain a second image, and finally, the second image is displayed. The first editing information records the editing operations performed on the first image during the last communication with the first object. If the historical editing information of the first image includes the first editing information, then during the next communication with the first object, the first image is edited according to the editing operations recorded in the first editing information, and the edited second image is displayed. This allows the current user to immediately see the editing effect on the first image, enhancing the interactive experience between the current user and the first object.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0022] The image management method, image management device, electronic device, and readable storage medium provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0023] Figure 1This application illustrates an embodiment of an image management method provided. This method can be executed by an electronic device, which may include: a terminal device, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), handheld computer, netbook, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), mobile internet device (MID), etc. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the electronic device, and the method includes the following steps:

[0024] S110: When communicating with the first object through a communication application, obtain the historical editing information of the first image.

[0025] The first image can be a photograph, illustration, chart, icon, or cartoon, and its format includes, but is not limited to, JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP.

[0026] It is understandable that the historical editing information includes all operations performed on the first image. When communicating with the first object through a communication application, the historical editing information of the first image can be obtained after selecting the first image.

[0027] S120: If the historical editing information includes first editing information, the first image is edited according to the first editing information to obtain a second image; or, if the historical editing information does not include the first editing information, the first image is used as the second image.

[0028] S130: Display the second image.

[0029] The first editing information is the editing information associated with the first object.

[0030] It is understood that the historical editing information of the first image may include editing information for multiple objects. If the historical editing information includes first editing information (i.e., there is editing information associated with the first object in the historical editing information of the first image), then the first image is edited according to the first editing information to obtain the second image to be displayed. If the historical editing information of the first image does not include first editing information associated with the first object, then the first image is used as the second image to be displayed, and the second image is displayed. That is, for the first image, if there is no first editing information associated with the first object, then there is no need to edit the first image further; the first image can be used as the second image to be displayed, and the second image can be displayed.

[0031] For example, such as Figure 2a The diagram shows the display interface for the first image. This interface includes the first image 210, an object area 220 corresponding to the first image, an edit button 230, and a share button 240. The object area 220 can include zero, one, or multiple objects. When the user is communicating with the first object through a communication application, after selecting the first image, if the first image has no historical editing information, the object area 220 may not be displayed; if the first image has historical editing information, objects associated with the historical editing information are displayed, and the object area 220 is displayed. The object area 220 can be located at the top, bottom, left, or right of the display interface, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit its location. Furthermore, the object area 220 can float above the first image 210 in a layered manner, and the specific layout is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, each object has a unique identifier to ensure accurate identification. The object can be a contact or group in various communication applications, which may include various instant messaging software, address books, and email addresses. To distinguish objects within each communication application, the object identifier can be determined based on the corresponding communication application. This object identifier can consist of two parts: the first part is the identifier code of the communication application, and the second part is the identifier code of the corresponding object within that communication application. For example, instant messaging software 1's contacts include contact A. The identifier code of instant messaging software 1 can be the name of the instant messaging software, such as APP1. Contact A's unique identifier in the system corresponding to instant messaging software 1 is, for example, 123456. Therefore, contact A's user identifier can be APP1-123456. Further, referring to the above... Figure 2aTo ensure that the current user can quickly distinguish contacts from different communication applications within object area 220, unique display colors can be set for object identifiers of different communication applications. This allows the current user to intuitively identify which communication application an object in object area 220 belongs to, thereby improving the user experience. It should be noted that the object identifier can be displayed as an avatar, nickname, or note.

[0033] If the historical edit information includes the first edit information, such as Figure 2b As shown, in this display interface, the first object is highlighted in the object area 220. The first image will load the first editing information corresponding to the first object through S120, and finally display the editing result for the first image, i.e., the second image 250. If the historical editing information does not include the first editing information, the first object may not be displayed in the object area 220, and the first image may be displayed as the second image, i.e., the original image may be displayed.

[0034] In this embodiment, when communicating with a first object via a communication application, historical editing information of a first image is obtained. If the historical editing information includes first editing information, the first image is edited according to the first editing information to obtain a second image; or, if the historical editing information includes first editing information, the first image is edited according to the first editing information to obtain a second image, and finally, the second image is displayed. The first editing information records the editing operations performed on the first image during the last communication with the first object. If the historical editing information of the first image includes the first editing information, then during the next communication with the first object, the first image is edited according to the editing operations recorded in the first editing information, and the edited second image is displayed. This allows the current user to immediately see the editing effect on the first image, enhancing the interactive experience between the current user and the first object. If the first editing information is not included, the current user can directly view the original image without additional operation. This makes image management more flexible and improves image management and user browsing experience.

[0035] In one implementation, before obtaining the historical editing information of the first image, the method further includes: receiving a first editing operation on the first image and input to the first object; associating the first editing operation with the first object; wherein the historical editing information includes information corresponding to the first editing operation and association information between the first editing operation and the first object. It is understood that associating the first editing operation with the first object means binding or associating the information corresponding to the first editing operation with the first object for tracking, recording, and management. For example, in related technologies, when a user shares images stored on an electronic device with other users, they may need to edit the images. For instance, a user can open an image from their album, edit and save the opened image, and finally send the edited image to a designated contact. Typically, if the image needs to be edited with different content and then sent to different contacts, this operation needs to be repeated; that is, when editing different content for different users, a new base image needs to be selected and opened each time for separate editing. In some cases, the same image sent to the same user may require multiple edits. For example, a user might edit an image before forwarding it to contact A. Before completing the edit, they might receive a message from contact B requiring them to send the image to B. Therefore, the user might open the image, edit it according to the requirements for contact B, and then send the edited image to contact B. Afterward, they might need to select contact A again as the sharing recipient to edit the image. Alternatively, after editing and sending an image to contact A, the user might need to add or modify content based on the previous edit before sharing it again with contact A. With the current technical solutions, when adding or modifying content for the next edit, the user can only open the basic image to re-edit it, and cannot open the image containing the previous editing steps, thus preventing the user from editing based on the previous edit. Therefore, in this implementation, the first editing operation on the first image is associated with the first object. So when editing the first image on the first object again, the first editing operation can be directly loaded, allowing the current user to continue editing based on the previous editing, thereby ensuring the continuity and integrity of the editing process.

[0036] Furthermore, in one implementation, after displaying the second image, the method may further include the following steps:

[0037] Step 1: Receive the second editing operation on the second image.

[0038] For example, continue to refer to the above. Figure 2bThe image shown is the display interface for the second image. After the current user clicks the edit button, as shown... Figure 3a The image shown is an editing interface for displaying the second image. This interface includes a second image 310, an editing operation area 320, a share button 330, and a finish button 340. The editing operation area 320 includes multiple operation buttons. The user edits and modifies the second image 310 using these buttons. When the editing is complete, the user can click the finish button 340 to save the edit; alternatively, during the editing process, the user can directly choose to share the edited second image with the first user. For example... Figure 3b As shown, in one implementation, the editing interface may include an object area 320, where the first object is highlighted. During the editing of the second image corresponding to the first object, the object can be switched at any time. It should be noted that before switching to another object, the completion button 350 can be triggered by default to save the second editing operation corresponding to the first object.

[0039] It should be noted that, for the first image, if there is no first editing information corresponding to the first object, and the current user needs to process the second image, the second image can be used as the basis for editing, that is, editing can be performed on the basis of the original image.

[0040] Step 2: In response to the second editing operation, update the historical editing information, wherein the updated historical editing information includes the editing information corresponding to the first object.

[0041] Understandably, traditional image management methods require multiple users editing different content, necessitating the selection and opening of new base images for each edit—a cumbersome process. Furthermore, when a single user edits multiple times, adding or modifying previously edited content also requires reselecting the base image and repeating the process. In this proposed solution, to allow for multiple edits of the second image and the ability to modify and undo previous edits, editing information is generated after each edit, and the historical editing information is updated accordingly.

[0042] Therefore, in this embodiment, the current user can arbitrarily edit the second image and save the current edits upon completion. The historical editing information is then updated based on this second editing operation. This ensures that the first editing information corresponding to the first image is always up-to-date, avoiding unnecessary data loss and allowing for the reversal of each editing operation to restore a previous state if needed. Furthermore, this allows the current user to quickly see the editing information corresponding to the first object when communicating with it, improving editing efficiency and saving the user time and effort. In traditional image management, images edited for different objects need to be saved separately, leading to a large number of images that are difficult to manage. This implementation, through non-destructive editing, allows users to perform various editing operations while retaining the original image without generating new copies.

[0043] In one implementation, after displaying the second image, the method further includes: in response to an operation of sharing the second image with the first object, sending the second image to the first object. That is, the terminal performs the operation of sharing the second image with the first object based on the sharing operation of the currently operating user, simplifying the step of manually selecting from multiple copies generated based on the first image during image sharing, and improving the user experience. It should be noted that if the first image's historical editing information does not include the first editing information, the first image is used as the second image. Therefore, in this case, even if no editing operation is performed on the first image, the sent image is the second image.

[0044] The following is a detailed description of each of the above implementation methods, such as... Figure 4 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a specific method for optimizing the editing and sharing of images by associating with contacts, which may include the following steps:

[0045] S401-S402: Open an original image in the album, select a contact, such as a friend in an instant messaging application, edit the information for that contact, and the edited information will be saved and associated with that contact information.

[0046] S403-S404: On the display interface of this image, it is also possible to edit another contact; determine whether it is a new contact, if it is a new contact, execute S405; if it is not a new contact, execute S406.

[0047] S405: For new contacts, the current image canvas is refreshed to the original image, allowing for editing. After editing, the edited information and contact information are saved.

[0048] S406: If not adding a new contact, load the information that the contact has already edited, refresh and overwrite the image canvas before switching contacts, and allow you to add, delete, and modify new and old edited information again, and update the saved edited information;

[0049] S407-S408: After editing, the corresponding image is saved in the album. When you open the image, you can switch to another image directly by switching contacts.

[0050] S409-S412: When sharing pictures, after selecting a picture, the picture edited by the specified contact will be displayed by default. If no editing contact is matched, the original picture will be displayed.

[0051] In traditional image editing, users typically select an image from their album, edit and save it, and then send the edited image to a designated contact. If different edits need to be sent to different contacts for the same image, a new base image needs to be opened for each contact, and edited separately. This image editing method is cumbersome, inefficient, and results in a poor user experience. In this embodiment, however, contact and image editing information are bound together. When sending an image, the corresponding image is selected by default based on the recipient, reducing the need for confirmation and selection when multiple images are involved. Furthermore, after the image editing information is bound to the contact, editing can be completed in multiple steps, and edits can be modified or reverted before final compositing, avoiding the generation of unfinished images from intermediate processes. Moreover, for a single image, editing operations for multiple contacts can be completed after opening the image once. Selecting different contacts refreshes the corresponding base image for that contact, eliminating the need to reopen and search for new images, saving the user's time and effort.

[0052] The image management method provided in this application can be executed by an image management device. This application uses an image management device executing the image management method as an example to illustrate the image management device provided in this application.
