Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of computer technology, and specifically relates to a graphic code recognition method, device and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic devices have been widely used. With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, graphic codes such as QR codes have gradually become an indispensable part of life, and have been widely used in mobile payment, information sharing, business activities and other scenarios.

[0003] Currently, some QR codes can only be recognized and used within their paired applications. When a QR code from the first application is displayed in the interface of a second application, the user typically takes a screenshot and saves the image containing the QR code in the second application, then exits the second application from the foreground, and finally opens the scanning interface of the first application, selects the desired image, and completes the scan. It is evident that the process for scanning image codes across applications is cumbersome and complex for the user. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a graphic code recognition method, device, and electronic device to solve the problem of cumbersome processing flow and complicated user operation when scanning graphic codes across applications in related technologies.

[0006] When displaying a first interface of a first application, a first input is received, wherein the first interface is used for scanning a graphic code.

[0007] In response to the first input, a second interface of the second application running in the background is scanned based on the first interface.

[0008] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a graphic code recognition device, the device comprising:

[0014] 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 steps of the graphic code recognition method as described in the first aspect.

[0015] In this embodiment, by receiving a first input while displaying a first interface of a first application, the first interface is used for graphic code scanning; in response to the first input, scanning is performed on the second interface of a second application running in the background based on the first interface. This allows scanning of the second interface of a second application running in the background directly from the first interface of the first application displayed in the foreground, thereby eliminating the need for multiple user actions such as taking a screenshot of the second interface and saving the screenshot. This simplifies the cross-application graphic code scanning process and simplifies user operation. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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 terms can be used interchangeably 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.

[0031] The graphic code recognition method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the graphic code recognition method provided in the embodiments of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0033] Step 101: When the first interface of the first application is displayed, receive the first input, the first interface being used for graphic code scanning.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first application is an application installed on the electronic device that has a graphic code scanning function, and the first interface is a graphic code scanning interface. The graphic code can be a one-dimensional code such as a barcode, a two-dimensional code, or a three-dimensional code. In the following embodiments, a two-dimensional code will be used as an example for explanation.

[0035] Users can trigger the graphic code scanning function of the first application through shortcuts, or they can trigger the scanning function within the application's interface. Correspondingly, the electronic device can display the first interface of the first application on the screen. A schematic diagram of the first interface is shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0036] When the first interface of the first application is displayed, the user can perform a first input, and the electronic device can receive the user's first input accordingly. The first input can be input to the first interface, such as input to a first control on the first interface, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the first interface 201 may include a first control 202, which may be a "scan background application" control. The first control is used to trigger the scanning of the graphic code in the second interface of the second application running in the background. The first input may also be the input of the physical button of the electronic device, which is not specifically limited here.

[0037] The first input can be touch input, voice input, or gesture input. Taking touch input as an example, the first input can be click input, double-click input, long-press input, etc. The first input can be a click input at any position on the first interface, or it can be a click input on a specified control on the first interface, such as the first control or the second control.

[0038] The first input can be a single input from the user, or it can be two or even more inputs from the user; there is no specific limitation here.

[0039] Step 102: In response to the first input, scan the second interface of the second application running in the background based on the first interface.

[0040] The first interface is the application interface displayed in the foreground, and the second interface is the application interface running in the background. The first interface and the second interface are located on different display layers. The display layer of the first interface is located above the display layer of the second interface. In this way, the display layer of the first interface is displayed on the screen of the electronic device, while the display layer of the second interface is hidden in the background.

[0041] In some embodiments, based on the first interface, a second interface hidden in a background display layer can be scanned to identify whether a graphic code matching the first application exists in the second interface of the second application. Here, a graphic code matching the first application refers to a graphic code that can be scanned and identified by the first application.

[0042] In some embodiments, based on the first interface, the display data of the display layer hidden in the background can be scanned to achieve the scanning of the second interface of the second application running in the background, wherein the display data is used to display the second interface of the second application on the display layer hidden in the background.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second interfaces of each of the second applications running in the background can be scanned one by one based on the first interface. In some embodiments, the second interface of the second application that has recently exited the foreground and entered the background can also be scanned based on the first interface. In some embodiments, the second interface of the second application selected by the user from the background application interfaces can also be scanned based on the first interface.

[0044] In this way, by scanning the second interface of the second application running in the background directly based on the first interface, no interface image that occupies storage space is generated, thus optimizing the storage space of electronic devices.

[0045] In some embodiments, the screen image of the second interface of the second application running in the background can be scanned based on the first interface. The screen image can be automatically captured by the electronic device when the second interface of the second application exits the foreground, or automatically captured from the display layer hidden in the background after the second interface of the second application exits the foreground.

[0046] Electronic devices can employ image recognition technology to scan the second interface of a second application running in the background. The scanned graphic code information can be sent to the backend server of the first application. The backend server of the first application compares the graphic code information sent by the electronic device with pre-stored graphic code information in its database and sends the matching graphic code information back to the electronic device. This enables the electronic device to recognize the graphic code in the second interface of the second application running in the background. The pre-stored graphic code information in the database can include application scenario information and user information, such as payment scenarios, friend-adding scenarios, or login scenarios.

[0047] In this embodiment, by receiving a first input while displaying a first interface of a first application, the first interface is used for graphic code scanning; in response to the first input, scanning is performed on the second interface of a second application running in the background based on the first interface. This allows scanning of the second interface of a second application running in the background directly from the first interface of the first application displayed in the foreground, thereby eliminating the need for multiple user actions such as taking a screenshot of the second interface and saving the screenshot. This simplifies the cross-application graphic code scanning process and simplifies user operation.

[0048] Optionally, step 102 specifically includes:

[0049] In response to the first input, a scan is performed on the second interface of the second application that has recently exited the foreground and is running in the background, based on the first interface.

[0050] The second interface of the second application that was last exited from the foreground to run in the background refers to the second interface of the second application that was last exited from the foreground, relative to the moment when the first interface of the first application was displayed.

[0051] For example, if a user finds a QR code matching the first application on the browser interface (the second interface of the second application) and wants to scan it using the first application, the user simply needs to bring the second interface of the second application from the foreground to the background. Then, the user can launch the first application and activate its scanning function. Correspondingly, the electronic device can display the first interface of the first application and, upon receiving the first input, scan the browser interface based on the first interface to recognize the QR code on the browser interface.

[0052] In this embodiment, the entire process of cross-application graphic code scanning is very simple and does not generate interface images that occupy storage space.

[0053] Optionally, the first interface includes a first control, and step 102 specifically includes:

[0054] In response to a first sub-input to the first control, a third interface is displayed, which displays M application interfaces running in the background, the first input including the first sub-input, and M being a positive integer;

[0055] Upon receiving a second sub-input from the user for the second interface of the second application among the M application interfaces, the second interface of the second application selected by the user is scanned based on the first interface, wherein the first input further includes the second sub-input.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first input may include a first sub-input and a second sub-input. The first sub-input may be user input to the first control. The first sub-input is used to trigger the display of the third interface. The background application interface may be displayed in the third interface as a thumbnail or as a floating window. Figure 4 As shown, the third interface displays the application interfaces 401, 402, and 403 running in the background in the form of floating windows.

[0057] Users can select an interface based on the third interface to choose the second interface of the second application that they want to scan from the first interface. For example, ... Figure 4 As shown, the user can select application interface 401, which includes a QR code, from application interfaces 401, 402, and 403. Correspondingly, upon receiving a second sub-input from the user regarding the second interface of a second application among the M application interfaces, the second interface of the second application selected by the user can be scanned based on the first interface. In this way, the user can freely choose the second interface of the second application they want to scan from the first interface of the first application, improving the flexibility of cross-application QR code scanning.

[0058] Optionally, after step 102, the method further includes:

[0059] If scanning of the second interface of the second application running in the background fails, feature recognition is performed on the second interface to obtain the feature information of the second interface.

[0060] If the feature information of the second interface indicates that there is a graphic code matching the first application in the second interface, the position of the graphic code in the second interface is adjusted to obtain the fourth interface of the second application.

[0061] The fourth interface of the second application running in the background is scanned based on the first interface.

[0062] There are several reasons why scanning the second interface of a background application might fail. The first is that the second interface of the second application does not contain a graphic code. The second is that although the second interface of the second application contains a graphic code, it is not a graphic code that matches the first application. The third is that the second interface of the second application contains a graphic code that matches the first application, but the scan fails due to low resolution or incomplete display of the graphic code.

[0063] Electronic devices may not guarantee the presence of a graphic code in the second interface when the device is no longer in the foreground. In cases where scanning the second interface of a background application fails, image recognition technology can be used to identify the features of the second interface and obtain its characteristic information. Because graphic codes have unique characteristics, and the characteristics of graphic codes differ between applications, the presence of a graphic code in the second interface, and whether the second interface contains a graphic code matching the first application, will result in different characteristic information. This characteristic information can indicate whether a graphic code matching the first application exists in the second interface.

[0064] Electronic devices may not guarantee that the graphic code displayed on the second interface is complete when the device is no longer in the foreground. If the feature information of the second interface indicates the presence of a graphic code matching the first application, it can be determined that the scanning failure of the second interface of the background-running application is due to the graphic code's low resolution or incomplete display. There are three possible scenarios that could lead to graphic code recognition failure: the first is that the graphic code size is too small, resulting in low resolution and recognition failure. Figure 5 As shown. The second type is display misalignment of the graphic code, where the graphic code fails to be recognized due to the lack of features in a certain direction, such as... Figure 6 As shown. The third type is where the graphic code is too large, causing recognition failure due to the lack of features around the graphic code, such as... Figure 7 As shown.

[0065] The graphic code in the second interface can be re-identified for features, or the feature information of the graphic code can be obtained from the feature information in the second interface. The feature information of the graphic code can indicate whether the graphic code's features are complete.

[0066] If the feature information of the graphic code indicates that the graphic code features are complete, it can be determined that the reason for the failure of graphic code recognition may be that the size of the graphic code is too small. In this case, the graphic code in the second interface can be enlarged to adjust the position of the graphic code in the second interface and update the second interface running in the background in real time to obtain the fourth interface of the second application. The magnification factor of the graphic code can be preset and is not specifically limited here.

[0067] If the feature information of the graphic code indicates that the graphic code's features are incomplete, the reason for the failure to recognize the graphic code may be that the graphic code is too large or the graphic code is misaligned. The position of the graphic code in the second interface can be adjusted by reducing its size and / or shifting it, thus updating the second interface running in the background in real time, resulting in the fourth interface of the second application. The reduction factor of the graphic code can be preset and is not specifically limited here.

[0068] In some embodiments, the method for adjusting the position of the image code in the second interface can be determined based on the direction of the missing features indicated by the feature information of the image code. For example, if the feature information of the image code indicates that only some directional features are missing, the reason for the failure of image code recognition may be due to the display misalignment of the image code. The position of the image code in the second interface can be adjusted by shifting the image code in the second interface, and the shifting direction of the image code in the second interface can be determined based on the direction of the missing features indicated by the feature information of the image code. For another example, if the direction of the missing features indicated by the feature information of the image code is to the right, the shifting direction of the image code in the second interface is to the left. For yet another example, if the feature information of the image code indicates that features are missing on all four sides, the reason for the failure of image code recognition may be that the size of the image code is too large. The position of the image code in the second interface can be adjusted by reducing the size of the image code in the second interface.

[0069] Next, based on the first interface, the fourth interface of the second application running in the background can be scanned. The method for scanning the fourth interface of the second application running in the background is similar to the method for scanning the second interface of the second application running in the background, and will not be described in detail here.

[0070] In this way, if the size of the graphic code in the interface of the second application is too small, adjusting the position of the graphic code can improve the resolution of the graphic code in the interface of the second application. If the size of the graphic code in the interface of the second application is too large or the display is off-center, adjusting the position of the graphic code can make the features of the graphic code complete, thereby improving the recognition rate of graphic code scanning across applications.

[0071] It should be noted that the methods for adjusting the position of the image code in the second interface include, but are not limited to, enlarging, shrinking, or moving the image code in the second interface, so that the fourth interface can present the complete image code. In this way, when scanning the fourth interface of the second application running in the background based on the first interface, the image code can be accurately scanned by the first interface.

[0072] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0073] If the feature information of the second interface indicates that there is no matching graphic code of the first application in the second interface, the target scan result is displayed, and the target scan result indicates that the scan of the second interface of the second application running in the background failed.

[0074] If the feature information on the second interface indicates that there is no matching graphic code for the first application in the second interface, the electronic device can output the target scan result to prompt the user that the graphic code scanning is incorrect or the graphic code cannot be recognized. This ends the cross-application graphic code scanning process.

[0075] Optionally, step 102 specifically includes:

[0076] In response to the first input, a screenshot is taken of the second interface of the second application running in the background to obtain the first image to be scanned.

[0077] The first image to be scanned is scanned based on the first interface.

[0078] The first input can be, for example... Figure 2 The first control 202 shown is the input of the "Scan Background Applications" control. The first control is used to trigger the scanning of the graphic code in the second interface of the second application running in the background.

[0079] In this embodiment, before displaying the first interface of the first application, the electronic device may display the second interface of the second application, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the second application is a browser. The second interface 801 of the second application displays a QR code 802, and the user can perform corresponding operations to bring the second application from the foreground to the background.

[0080] The user can launch the first application and operate the scanning function of the first application. Correspondingly, the electronic device can display the first interface of the first application, such as... Figure 2 As shown. The user can click the first control 202, and the electronic device can receive the user's first input to the first control 202. Upon receiving the first input to the first control 202, the device can take a screenshot of the second interface of the second application running in the background to obtain the first image to be scanned.

[0081] If the first image to be scanned is obtained, such as Figure 9 As shown, the electronic device can display a first image to be scanned 901 on a first interface and scan the first image to be scanned, thereby completing cross-application graphic code scanning.

[0082] In this embodiment, since the first image to be scanned is automatically captured upon receiving the first input to the first control, it is typically stored in a cache and automatically deleted when the first application exits. Therefore, no image code image is generated in the photo album, eliminating the need to delete the image and reducing system junk. Furthermore, after the second application exits from the foreground to the background, automatically capturing the second interface of the background-running second application upon receiving the first input to the first control eliminates the need for the user to take a screenshot of the second interface and save the screenshot. This simplifies the cross-application image code scanning process and simplifies user operation.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first interface includes a second control, and step 102 specifically includes:

[0084] In response to the first input to the second control, based on the first interface, a second image to be scanned stored in the target folder is scanned, wherein the second image to be scanned is a screen image of the second interface of a second application running in the background;

[0085] Wherein, the second image to be scanned is obtained by taking a screenshot of the second interface of the second application upon receiving a second input to the second interface of the second application; the second image to be scanned is stored in the target folder before the first interface of the first application is displayed; the second input is used to exit the second application from the foreground; the second image to be scanned stored in the target folder is deleted when a first preset condition is met; the first preset condition includes at least one of the following:

[0086] The second application has finished running;

[0087] The storage time has reached the preset time.

[0088] In this embodiment, before displaying the first interface of the first application, the electronic device may display the second interface of the second application, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the second application is a browser. A QR code 802 is displayed on the second interface 801 of the second application, allowing the user to switch the second application from the foreground to the background. Correspondingly, when the electronic device receives a second input to the second interface of the second application, it can automatically capture the second interface displayed before the application switches to the background and store the captured second image to be scanned in the target folder.

[0089] The second input is used to exit the second application from the foreground. The second input can be touch input, voice input, or gesture input. Taking touch input as an example, the second input can be click input, double-click input, long-press input, etc. The second input can be a click input at any position in the second interface, and the first input can also be a click input at a specified control in the second interface.

[0090] The electronic device can detect whether the second image to be scanned contains a graphic code. If the second image to be scanned contains a graphic code, it saves the second image to be scanned to a target folder. The target folder is used for temporary image storage. In some embodiments, images stored in the target folder can be automatically deleted after a preset storage time. The preset time can be set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here. In some embodiments, images stored in the target folder can also be automatically deleted when the second application ends. For example, when the electronic device determines that the second application has been closed in the background, or when the second application actively or passively exits the background, it can trigger the deletion of screenshots related to the second application from the target folder.

[0091] Afterwards, the user can launch the first application and operate the scanning function of the first application. The electronic device can then display the first interface of the first application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the first interface 301 may include a second control 302, which can be a control for an "album". The second control is used to trigger the scanning of graphic codes in images pre-stored in the album.

[0092] The user can click the second control 302, and the electronic device can receive the user's first input to the second control 302. Upon receiving the first input to the second control 302, the device can scan the second image to be scanned in the target folder based on the first interface. The second image to be scanned scanned on the first interface is the one most recently stored in the target folder. The electronic device can also display a photo album, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the album includes a folder called "Temporary Background Screenshots," which is the target folder 1001. Users can select an image in the target folder 1001 and use it as the second image to be scanned, thereby completing the cross-application image code scanning.

[0093] In this embodiment, the second image to be scanned is automatically captured upon receiving a second input to the second interface of the second application and stored in a target folder. This target folder is a temporary image storage folder, and the images stored there will be deleted when the second application terminates or when the storage time reaches a preset time. Therefore, the image deletion operation is eliminated, and system junk is reduced. Furthermore, automatically capturing the second interface of the second application upon receiving a second input to exit the foreground eliminates the need for multiple user actions to take and save screenshots of the second interface, thus simplifying the cross-application image code scanning process and user operation.

[0094] In some embodiments, before scanning the second image to be scanned stored in the target folder based on the first interface in response to the first input to the second control, the method further includes:

[0095] If the screen image of the second interface of the second application contains a graphic code that meets the second preset condition, the screen image is stored as the second image to be scanned in the target folder;

[0096] The second preset condition includes feature information of the graphic code indicating that the features of the graphic code are complete.

[0097] After the second application exits the foreground and before the first interface of the first application is displayed, the electronic device can detect whether the features of the graphic code in the captured image of the second interface are complete. Only if the features of the graphic code in the image of the second interface are detected to be complete will the image of the second interface be stored as the second image to be scanned in the target folder.

[0098] Electronic devices can utilize image recognition technology to acquire feature information of graphic codes in the image of a second interface. Based on this feature information, they can determine whether the graphic code features are complete. If the feature information indicates that the graphic code features are missing, i.e., the graphic code features are incomplete, the position of the graphic code in the second interface can be adjusted by zooming in, zooming out, or moving it to update the second interface until the updated image of the second interface has complete graphic code features. At this point, the updated image of the second interface can be stored as the second image to be scanned in the target folder for the first application to perform graphic code recognition. This improves the recognition rate of the graphic codes in the second interface by the first application.

[0099] The graphic code recognition method provided in this application can be executed by a graphic code recognition device. This application uses a graphic code recognition device executing the graphic code recognition method as an example to illustrate the graphic code recognition device provided in this application.

[0106] In response to a first sub-input to the first control, a third interface is displayed, which displays M application interfaces running in the background, the first input including the first sub-input, and M being a positive integer;
