[0078] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0079] In the following description, references are made to “some embodiments,” which describe a subset of all possible embodiments. However, it is understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0080] In the following description, the terms "first, second, third" are used merely to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of objects. It is understood that "first, second, third" may be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0081] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0082] This application provides a shooting control method. In practical applications, the hardware implementing the shooting control method can be a shooting device or an image processing device (including a shooting device and an expansion module).

[0083] For example, the shooting device may include a lens, an image sensor, a motion sensor, a wireless communication module, a processor, and a housing assembly that carries one or more of the above-mentioned devices.

[0084] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the shooting control method includes:

[0085] Step 101: When the shooting device is powered off, in response to the trigger event, control the shooting device to enter the shooting state at at least two different times and shoot at the same time based on the preset shooting parameters, so as to obtain shooting materials at different times.

[0086] In practical applications, the shooting device can be a camera (such as an action camera or an SLR camera) or a terminal device with shooting capabilities (such as a wearable device). The shooting device can be used independently and is suitable for various shooting scenarios. The shooting device can also be adapted to an expansion module (such as an expansion compartment) to shoot in different scenarios.

[0087] In practical applications, when the shooting device is in the same position relative to the expansion module, the expansion module can charge the shooting device; when the shooting device is separated from the expansion module, the expansion module stops charging the shooting device.

[0088] In practical applications, controlling the shooting device to enter shooting mode at at least two different times and capture images separately can be either interval video recording or interval photo taking. This application can capture multiple clips from different times when performing either interval video recording or interval photo taking; furthermore, each of these tasks is performed only when the shooting device is powered off. Each time a trigger event is received, the device is powered on and begins shooting in response to the event. After each shooting session, the device is powered off, awaiting the next interval task. Thus, compared to the user manually monitoring the camera and keeping it constantly on to take pictures, this application saves power while automatically completing the shooting task.

[0089] Step 102: Generate the target video based on the footage captured at different times.

[0090] In practical applications, given footage captured at different times, a target video can be automatically generated. Furthermore, during the automatic generation of the target video, footage captured at different times can be edited based on preset editing data, and the automatically edited finished video can be output as the target video.

[0091] In practical applications, given footage captured at different times, the system can respond to detected editing operations, determine editing data, and then edit the footage from different times based on that data, outputting the finished video edited according to the editing operations as the target video.

[0092] The shooting control method provided in this application includes: when the shooting device is powered off, responding to a trigger event, controlling the shooting device to enter the shooting state at at least two different times and shoot separately based on preset shooting parameters to obtain shooting footage at different times; and generating a target video based on the shooting footage at different times. Thus, compared to the method of manually monitoring the camera and keeping it constantly on to shoot, this application automatically completes the interval shooting task and acquires multiple shooting clips while the shooting device is powered off, while also saving power.

[0093] In some embodiments, the camera being powered off in step 101 can be achieved through the following steps:

[0094] Obtain shooting parameters and control the shooting equipment to enter the power-off state.

[0095] Here, obtaining shooting parameters refers to obtaining the configured shooting parameters, that is, the preset shooting parameters.

[0096] In practical applications, once the configured shooting parameters are obtained, at least the shooting device can be turned off, and both the shooting device and the expansion module can be turned off.

[0097] In some embodiments, step 101, in response to the triggering event, includes:

[0098] Determine the motion state of the shooting equipment as the preset motion state and generate a trigger event.

[0099] In practical applications, the steps of acquiring and determining the motion state of the shooting device can be performed through the wireless communication module and / or sensing module of the shooting device.

[0100] The wireless communication module includes, but is not limited to, a low-power Bluetooth module, and the sensing module includes, but is not limited to, a low-power sensor.

[0101] In some embodiments, the sensing module includes a low-power acceleration and / or low-power angular velocity sensor; when the low-power acceleration and / or low-power angular velocity sensor acquires motion data, it sends it to a low-power Bluetooth module, which analyzes the motion data to determine the motion state of the shooting device.

[0102] In some embodiments, the sensing module includes a low-power inertial measurement unit (IMU), which senses the motion state of the imaging device by measuring acceleration and angular velocity.

[0103] In practical applications, in this scenario, when the shooting device's motion state is in a preset motion state, a trigger event is generated, thereby triggering the shooting device in its off state to respond to the generated trigger event and perform an interval recording task or an interval shooting task. It can be understood that this scheme, which triggers the shooting device in its off state to turn on and perform interval shooting based on the shooting device's motion state, belongs to a random shooting scheme. The resulting footage at different times is footage captured when the motion state is in the preset motion state at different times. The preset motion state can be set according to actual needs and includes one or more preset motion states. For example, the shooting device (e.g., a thumb camera) is fixed to a target object (such as a child, pet, etc.). As the target object's motion state changes, the thumb camera's motion state changes accordingly. When the motion state is in the preset motion state, the thumb camera in its off state is controlled to enter the shooting state at at least two different times and take pictures respectively, thereby obtaining footage at different times. The duration of a single shot is determined by the thumb camera's ability to enter and exit preset motion states within a given timeframe. The interval between two consecutive exits and re-entries into a preset motion state determines the shooting duration. The preset motion states entered in two consecutive shots can be the same or different. This allows for random interval shooting and stopping in motion scenarios, freeing the user from constantly manually starting and stopping the camera, without disturbing the subject's movement. Multiple shots can also be taken during motion. Random shooting may capture unexpected and exciting moments, enriching the footage captured during automatic and stopped shooting.

[0104] In some embodiments, step 101, in response to the triggering event, includes:

[0105] Once the shutdown duration of the shooting equipment reaches a duration threshold, a trigger event is generated.

[0106] The shooting parameters include one or more of the following parameters:

[0107] The duration of a single shot;

[0108] The duration of the interval between different moments;

[0109] Shooting specifications;

[0110] The duration threshold is either a preset duration or an interval duration.

[0111] In practical applications, shooting specifications include, but are not limited to, resolution, frame rate, and metering mode.

[0112] In practical applications, when the duration threshold in the configured shooting parameters is a preset duration, the shooting device is controlled to enter a power-off state. Over the next period, the shooting device, according to the preset duration, enters shooting mode at different times according to the intervals in the configured shooting parameters, and shoots according to the single-shot duration and shooting specifications in the configured shooting parameters, automatically completing interval video recording or interval photo taking tasks to obtain footage from different moments. Therefore, this application can automatically implement interval video recording / interval photo taking tasks. This task is effective and executed when the shooting device is powered off, and the shooting device enters a power-off state after each shot, saving power consumption and extending battery life. Furthermore, the shooting device randomly shoots at preset intervals, allowing for more objective recording of daily life, rather than only capturing scenes the user intends to record. It can also collect multiple clips of activities with event progress / event advancement, such as multiple clips at different stages of activities like drawing or building blocks.

[0113] In some embodiments, obtaining the shooting parameters in the above steps includes:

[0114] Acquire shooting scene information, which includes one or more of the following: shooting mode information, motion characteristics of the shooting device, scene content change information under the shooting mode, and the number of footage segments; configure shooting parameters based on the shooting scene information; different shooting scene information corresponds to different shooting parameters.

[0115] In practical applications, shooting mode information refers to shooting scene modes, including but not limited to scenes such as building blocks, parent-child scenes, pet scenes, cycling scenes, running scenes, video recording (Vlog) scenes, cooking scenes, car driving scenes, and custom scenes. Each scene has preset shooting parameters. After the user selects the shooting scene information, such as the shooting mode information, the shooting device can automatically configure the preset shooting parameters according to the shooting scene information. In this way, even if the user is a novice who is unfamiliar with shooting parameter configuration, the shooting device can quickly configure the shooting parameters according to the user's needs.

[0116] In practical applications, the motion characteristics of the shooting device include, but are not limited to, motion intensity and amplitude. Scene content change information in shooting mode includes, but is not limited to, outdoor activity scenes, indoor activity scenes, the speed of change of activity content, and the richness of the content.

[0117] In practical applications, shooting parameters for different shooting scenarios can be determined through methods such as tracking data, user survey data, and machine-learned historical data. These parameters include the total duration of an event, event characteristics, the rate of change and richness of event content, the duration of a single shot, interval duration, shooting specifications, and the number of clips required for the final cut. Therefore, when shooting scenario information is obtained for a specific situation, the corresponding shooting parameters can be quickly configured based on that information.

[0118] In practical applications, shooting scene information can also include user level. Once the shooting device obtains the user level, it can provide corresponding shooting parameter configuration methods based on that user level. For example, for L1 level users, the expansion module's display can show an L1 level page, allowing users to select from any of the aforementioned shooting scene modes for quick parameter configuration. Similarly, for L2 level users, the expansion module's display can show an L2 level page, allowing users to customize and / or refer to preset shooting parameters in different shooting scene modes, thus achieving personalized parameter customization. L2 level users, compared to L1 level users, have a greater understanding of the shooting device's performance, supported functions, and operation methods.

[0119] In practical applications, the shooting parameters differ depending on the shooting scenario. For example, in a Vlog scenario, the single-shot duration is 2 minutes, the interval duration is 5 minutes, the resolution is 4K, the frame rate is 30, and the metering mode is face priority. For example, in a cycling scenario, the single-shot duration is 1 minute, the interval duration is 3 minutes, the resolution is 4K, the frame rate is 30, and the metering mode is global metering. This application does not specifically limit the shooting parameters corresponding to different shooting scenarios.

[0120] In some embodiments, step 101, in response to the triggering event, includes:

[0121] If the shooting device is determined to be in a detached state relative to the expansion module and the power-off time reaches a time threshold, a trigger event is generated; when the shooting device is in a present state relative to the expansion module, the expansion module can charge the shooting device; when the shooting device is in a detached state relative to the expansion module, the expansion module stops charging the shooting device.

[0122] In practical applications, when the shutdown duration of the shooting device reaches a threshold, it is also necessary to determine the state of the shooting module relative to the expansion module. If the shooting device is detached from the expansion module, a trigger event is generated, prompting the shooting device, in its shutdown state, to respond to the generated trigger event and execute an interval recording task or an interval photo-taking task. In this scenario, even if the shutdown duration reaches the threshold, the shooting device remains in place relative to the expansion module and does not perform any shooting; that is, the shooting device only performs shooting tasks outside the expansion module.

[0123] In practical applications, once the shooting parameters are obtained, the shooting device and the expansion module are controlled to enter a power-off state. The low-power module (low-power wireless communication module or low-power IMU) of the shooting device operates. When the shooting device is in position relative to the expansion module, the expansion module enters a working state and can charge the shooting device. When the shooting device is separated from the expansion module, the expansion module stops charging the shooting device and remains powered off. This further saves power consumption, freeing up more energy for intermittent shooting tasks.

[0124] In some embodiments, step 101, in response to the triggering event, includes:

[0125] Once it is determined that the shutdown duration has reached the duration threshold and the shooting device is in the in-position state relative to the expansion module, the relative state of the shooting device and the expansion module is obtained when the shutdown duration reaches the duration threshold for the nth time after the first time it reaches the duration threshold.

[0126] A trigger event is generated when the relative state corresponding to the nth time is determined to be that the shooting device is in a separated state relative to the expansion module; where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and the relative state corresponding to the (n-1)th time is that the shooting device is in a present state relative to the expansion module.

[0127] In practical applications, when the shooting device is powered off and enters the interval shooting task phase, it is set to pause the interval shooting task when the shooting device is in a position relative to the expansion module. Then, starting from the first time the power-off time reaches the time threshold, the shooting device is determined to be in a position. The interval time is then extended one step according to different times. If the shooting device is still in a position after one extension, the interval time is extended again until the nth time when the relative state is that the shooting device is in a separated state relative to the expansion module. A trigger event is then generated, which triggers the shooting device in the power-off state to respond to the generated trigger event and execute the interval recording task or the interval photo task. In this way, precise control of automatic interval waiting is achieved.

[0128] In some embodiments, step 101, in response to the triggering event, includes:

[0129] The camera detected the first operation but did not respond.

[0130] In practical applications, the first operation refers to the operation of the shooting device, including but not limited to the operation of the virtual / physical buttons of the shooting device and the operation of the input device (such as the voice input device). After the shooting device is turned off, during the execution of the interval shooting task, if the first operation is performed on the shooting device, the first operation will not be responded to, that is, the first operation will be blocked. In this way, during the movement of the target object, the first operation of the target object on the shooting device will not be responded to, realizing the child lock design and avoiding accidental operation.

[0131] In some embodiments, step 101, in response to the triggering event, includes:

[0132] Once the camera detects the second operation, it responds to the second operation, pauses the control of the camera to enter the shooting state at different times, and controls the camera to enter the continuous shooting state and start shooting.

[0133] After the continuous shooting mode ends, continue to control the shooting equipment to enter shooting mode at different times and shoot separately.

[0134] In practical applications, the second operation involves manipulating the shooting device, including but not limited to manipulating the virtual / physical buttons and input devices (such as voice input devices) of the shooting device. The second operation can also involve placing the shooting device into the expansion module, placing the shooting device in a position relative to the expansion module. The second operation can be viewed as a shooting device takeover operation. After the shooting device is powered off, during the execution of the interval shooting task, the second operation is performed on the shooting device. At this time, the takeover shooting phase begins, pausing the interval shooting task and switching to continuous shooting mode. After the continuous shooting mode ends, the shooting device is controlled to continue executing the interval shooting task, then resuming the execution progress of the interval shooting task before the pause, completing the unfinished progress, and entering the shooting state at different times to shoot separately.

[0135] In practical applications, when both the first and second operations involve pressing virtual / physical buttons on the shooting device, the resulting data differs. For example, a long press of a physical button on the shooting device (press duration t1) will trigger a beep and indicator light response as normal recording begins, indicating that the shooting device has entered single-host-takeover recording mode. A short press of a physical button on the shooting device (press duration t2, where t2 is less than t1) will not trigger a response to that button operation, preventing accidental operation.

[0136] In practical applications, the second operation can also be placing the shooting device into the expansion module. For example, connecting to the expansion module and taking over shooting: when the shooting device detects a connection with the expansion module (which also has a wireless communication module) via its wireless communication module, it detects the second operation, and at this point, the shooting device is taken over. During interval shooting tasks, placing the shooting device into the expansion module will trigger the expansion module to power on. After powering on, the expansion module will approach the shooting device and establish a connection.

[0137] In practical applications, taking over shooting means converting the currently ongoing interval shooting into normal shooting operated by the user, and converting timed shooting into unlimited shooting. In this scenario, the orange indicator light for interval shooting (such as interval recording) can be turned into a red indicator light to indicate that shooting has been taken over.

[0138] In some embodiments, controlling the shooting device to enter a power-off state in the above steps includes:

[0139] The first page is displayed on the screen of the expansion module. The first page displays one or more of the following prompts: the duration of a single shot in the shooting scene, the interval between at least two different moments, the suggested remaining battery power of the shooting device, the suggested remaining shooting time of the shooting device, and the suggested storage capacity of the shooting device.

[0140] In response to detected target operation, the camera is controlled to shut down.

[0141] In practical applications, the target operation includes, but is not limited to, operations on physical buttons, voice control, and touch controls of virtual controls. The target operation can also be an operation on the shooting device and / or expansion modules. Here, the prompts include reminders about the duration of each shot and the intervals between shots for different shooting scenarios; they can also include advance warnings based on the shooting device's battery level and capacity.

[0142] Below, using interval recording and hiking shooting scenarios as examples, we will illustrate the content displayed on the first page:

[0143] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the prompts displayed on the first page include: Hiking: Single segment recording 5 minutes / interval 2 minutes. Interval recording is executed automatically when the camera is off. It is recommended that the camera battery be above 80% and the remaining recording time be >30 minutes.

[0144] In practical applications, given the configured shooting parameters, it can be determined whether the relevant parameters of the shooting device meet the conditions corresponding to the configured shooting parameters, and then control the shooting device to enter a power-off state. For example, when the configured shooting parameters are for a hiking shooting scenario, it can be determined whether the corresponding conditions are met: camera battery level ≥ 60% and remaining shooting time ≥ 30 minutes. The battery level and remaining shooting time are set according to the specifications of different shooting scenarios, and this application does not impose specific limitations. Furthermore, if the corresponding conditions are determined to be met, in response to the target operation, the shooting device can be controlled to enter a power-off state.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first page also displays a first control, which, in response to a detected target operation, controls the shooting device to enter a power-off state, including:

[0146] In response to a detected click on the first control, the camera is controlled to enter a power-off state; the first control is used to start an interval shooting task.

[0147] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the first page displays the first control (Start Task), which controls the camera to enter the power-off state after the Start Task is triggered.

[0148] In some embodiments, the first page also displays a first control and a second control, wherein the above-mentioned response to the detected target operation to control the shooting device to enter the power-off state includes:

[0149] In response to the detected selection of the second control and the clicking of the first control, the shooting device is controlled to enter the power-off state; wherein, the first control is used to start the interval shooting task, and when the second control is selected, the shooting device is prohibited from responding to the trigger event when it is in the in-position state relative to the expansion module.

[0150] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the first page displays a first control (Start Task) and a second control (a checkable icon). When the icon is checked (selected) and the Start Task is triggered, the camera is prevented from responding to the trigger event while it is in the in-place state relative to the extension module. In other words, when the checkable icon is selected, if the camera is inside the extension module, no recording will occur when the scheduled recording time arrives.

[0151] In practical applications, in a feasible scenario, unchecking the box will keep the camera in place or detached from the extension module, and it will start recording when the scheduled recording time arrives.

[0152] For example, see Figure 3As shown, the first page displays the following prompts: Hiking: Record in 5-minute segments with 2-minute intervals; Camera battery is only 18% remaining, please charge it promptly. Interval recording is performed automatically when the camera is off. In this scenario, when the battery level is below a threshold (e.g., battery <60%), the prompt "Camera battery is only 18% remaining, please charge it promptly" is highlighted, for example, by highlighting the content.

[0153] For example, see Figure 4 As shown, the first page displays the following prompts: Hiking: 5 minutes per segment / 2 minutes interval; camera storage capacity only 2GB remaining, insufficient for 5 minutes of recording. Please free up storage space. Interval recording is performed automatically when the camera is off. In this scenario, when the remaining recording time is less than the threshold (e.g., remaining recording time < 30 minutes) and storage capacity is insufficient, the prompt "Camera storage capacity only 2GB remaining, insufficient for 5 minutes of recording. Please free up storage space" is highlighted, for example, by highlighting the content, indicating that the prompt is based on insufficient storage capacity.

[0154] In some embodiments, before controlling the shooting device to enter the power-off state in the above steps, the following steps are included:

[0155] The second page is displayed on the screen. The second page is a preview page of the shooting device. The second page displays a message prompt box, which is used to indicate that the interval shooting task has been started and will start shooting after the power-off interval.

[0156] In practical applications, a preview page can be displayed on the screen before the camera is turned off. In real-world scenarios, you can return to the preview page after clicking "Start Task" on the first page. Alternatively, the preview page can be displayed after the shooting parameters are obtained.

[0157] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, after clicking "Start Task," you return to the preview page, which displays a message box indicating that an interval recording task has been started and will begin recording 2 minutes after the device is powered off. Here, 2 minutes refers to the set interval duration.

[0158] For example, see Figure 6 As shown, when the interval recording task is enabled, the preview page displays a clickable status button and shows the number of videos already recorded (0 in the illustration). At this time, see... Figure 7 As shown, interval recording is highlighted in the entry icon of the shortcut menu. Clicking the status button or the entry icon of the shortcut menu will bring it up.

[0159] In some embodiments, step 101, in response to the triggering event, includes:

[0160] In response to the detection of an operation on the target icon on the second page, a third page is displayed on the screen. The third page displays one or more of the following prompts: the duration of a single shot in the shooting scene, the interval between multiple shots, the number of videos already shot, and that the shooting device will automatically execute the shooting task when powered off. The third page also displays a third control and / or a fourth control, the third control being used to end the entire interval shooting task, and the fourth control being used to continue the entire interval shooting task.

[0161] In practical applications, when the third and fourth controls are triggered, the target of the action is the entire interval shooting task (e.g., interval recording), not a single interval recording.

[0162] For example, see Figure 8 As shown, the prompts displayed on the third page include: Hiking: 5-minute single recording / 2-minute interval, X (e.g., 0) videos recorded. The camera will automatically execute the task when powered off. The third page also displays a third control (End Task) and a fourth control (Continue Task).

[0163] In some feasible scenarios, when the expansion module is powered on, a pop-up window appears on the expansion module's display screen indicating that interval recording is in progress. This pop-up window provides a third and / or fourth control as a button entry for stopping or continuing.

[0164] In some embodiments, the above method further includes:

[0165] In response to the detection of an operation on the third control, recording ends, and a fourth page is displayed on the screen, showing the number of videos recorded; or...

[0166] In response to the detection of an operation on the fourth control, the camera continues to be controlled to enter the shooting state at different times and shoot separately to obtain shooting footage at different times.

[0167] In practical applications, the entire recording can be stopped by operating the third control, and the task can be continued by operating the fourth control, thus achieving precise control over the entire interval recording task.

[0168] In some embodiments, the above steps of obtaining shooting parameters and controlling the shooting device to enter a power-off state include:

[0169] Acquire shooting parameters and control the shooting device to enter shooting mode within a preset time period;

[0170] When the shooting time reaches the preset duration, the shooting equipment will be turned off.

[0171] In practical applications, after obtaining the shooting parameters, the shooting device is first controlled to enter shooting mode within a preset duration. Then, when the preset shooting duration is reached, the shooting device is controlled to enter the power-off state. In this way, it is possible to record a segment of footage before turning off the device. In this scenario, when the shooting parameters are configured, the device can record and capture the current footage in a timely manner according to the configured shooting parameters. The effect preview can also be realized in the extended module. Furthermore, while the shooting device is powered off, interval recording tasks or interval photo tasks can be executed to automatically control the start and end of shooting in the desired shooting scenario and capture multiple segments of footage.

[0172] In practical applications, once the shooting parameters are acquired, control of the shooting device can be triggered immediately, i.e., the shooting device can be switched off. In this scenario, in response to the detection of the acquisition of shooting parameters, the shooting device is controlled to enter a power-off state. In this scenario, the shooting device can more objectively capture and record daily life, and the shooting scenes are more random.

[0173] In some embodiments, in step 101, in response to a triggering event, the shooting device is controlled to enter the shooting state at at least two different times and shoot separately based on preset shooting parameters to obtain shooting footage at different times, including:

[0174] In response to a triggered event, the camera is controlled to enter shooting mode at different times according to the interval duration, and shooting is performed according to the single duration and shooting specifications to obtain shooting footage at different times;

[0175] Accordingly, based on the footage shot at different times, a target video is generated, including:

[0176] When the number of footage captured at different times reaches a certain threshold, and / or the sum of the durations of footage captured at different times reaches a set duration, a target video is generated based on the footage captured at different times.

[0177] In practical applications, the termination conditions for the interval shooting task are determined when the number of footage captured at different times reaches a certain threshold, and / or the sum of the durations of footage captured at different times reaches a set duration. Then, the target video is generated based on the footage captured at different times. The termination conditions in this scenario are the conditions for the normal termination of the interval shooting task.

[0178] In practical applications, if two consecutive interval recording attempts fail to start due to the same abnormal reason (an interruption halfway through recording will not have an impact), the interval recording task will stop. Abnormal reasons include, but are not limited to: overheating, card full, low battery, and firmware upgrades. Regarding firmware upgrades, even a single upgrade will cause the interval recording task to stop.

[0179] In practical applications, when users power on the camera, take over the camera, or put the camera into the extension compartment (provided that the pause in place option is selected), the interval recording will only be postponed, not stopped.

[0180] For example, see Figure 9 As shown, after completion, a settlement page will appear, which can be a persistent pop-up. The settlement page can display one or more of the following: the end of the interval recording, an image (which can be an image about the interval recording), recording stopped due to high temperature, the number of recorded videos (28 videos), and a confirmation icon (used to connect to the "Memories" section of the app's album for one-click compilation when triggered).

[0181] In practical applications, when performing interval recording, the folder associated with interval recording is described as follows:

[0182] Each interval recording is displayed in a folder;

[0183] The folder cover displays: shooting mode, merge duration of interval recordings, and number of records in this interval;

[0184] On the album list page, you can select multiple videos. Once selected, all the interval recordings in this group will be selected. Then you can perform operations such as deleting, adding to favorites, or quickly transferring these interval recordings.

[0185] Even if there is only one video in the interval recording, it will still be displayed this way;

[0186] There are 15 interval recordings, and these 15 videos are counted as 15 in the count at the top of the list page, not 1;

[0187] If the user categorizes / favorites videos, then the videos in the folders will be displayed as individual videos in the list, rather than as folders.

[0188] For example, see Figure 10 As shown, the cover of one of the folders displays: Shooting Mode (Interval Recording Icon), Merged Duration of Interval Recordings (29:36), Number of Interval Recordings in This Session (15).

[0189] Further, on the primary list page, click the "Interval Recordings" folder to enter the secondary list page for interval recordings:

[0190] The list on the second-level list page only contains videos from this folder; returning will take you back to the first-level list page.

[0191] When checked, the batch operation function is the same as that of the first-level list page;

[0192] The logic for displaying the cover information of a single video is the same as that for displaying the cover information of a single video in the first-level list page. Users can perform operations such as favorite, quick transfer, and deletion on a single video.

[0193] Click on any video to enter the playback page for that video.

[0194] For example, clicking the interval recording folder (the folder with 15 interval recordings mentioned above) will take you to the second-level list page of the interval recordings, see [link / reference]. Figure 11 As shown, the second-level list page contains the videos in this folder.

[0195] Furthermore, the playback page accessed from the secondary list of interval recordings is no different from the regular video playback page;

[0196] Clicking through the second-level list of interval recordings only shows that the [Category] at the top is interval recordings, and the list file only contains videos from this interval recording folder.

[0197] Clicking the icon in the upper left corner will return you to the second-level list page;

[0198] For example, click through from the second-level list of interval recordings, see... Figure 12 As shown, the top displays interval recordings, and this playback page is no different from a regular video playback page.

[0199] It should be noted that the descriptions of the same steps and contents as in other embodiments in this embodiment can be found in the descriptions in other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
