Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of photographing technology, and in particular to a photographing system and method. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people often need to take selfies or group photos in their daily lives. How to take photos efficiently and clearly is a problem that people often encounter. Therefore, solving the problem of how to take selfies and group photos quickly and efficiently is of great practical significance.

[0003] The methods for taking group photos in the prior art and their shortcomings are as follows: 1) A photographer must stand in front of the crowd, holding a camera and taking photos while simultaneously directing the people in the crowd to the appropriate positions and angles to avoid obstructions. The disadvantage of this method is that the photographer cannot be in the shot.

[0004] 2) After adjusting the camera and setting a delay time, the photographer joins the group. When the delay time is up, the photo is automatically taken. The disadvantage of this method is that if the photo is not ideal, the photographer needs to run back and forth to set it up, which is more troublesome.

[0005] 3) Use a selfie stick to take photos. The disadvantage of this method is that the photographer needs to hold the selfie stick in his hand, and due to the length limit of the selfie stick, it cannot complete the shooting of a specific distance or width. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The specific implementation of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Example 1: Reference Figure 1A photographing system includes a photographing device, a server, and a main management device. The photographing device is used to take photos or videos and is placed in front of the subject to take the photo. The photographing device is in communication with the server. The main management device is in communication with the server and is configured to manage the photographing device and issue photographing instructions, receive and display the real-time images captured by the photographing device, and allow users to browse the real-time images captured by the photographing device on the main management device.

[0016] The system further includes at least one slave management device that is in communication with the server and configured to receive and display the real-time images captured by the camera. A user can browse the real-time images captured by the camera on the slave management device to adjust the position and confirm the images.

[0017] The slave management device is equipped with a ready instruction uploading device for uploading the ready instruction. The ready instruction uploading device is a button.

[0018] In a second embodiment, a photographing method of the photographing system according to the first embodiment is provided, comprising the following steps: S1: Create a photo taking task; refer to Figure 2 , the main management device creates a photo task request and sends it to the server. The server creates a photo task according to the photo task request. The main management device joins the photo task by creating a photo task response; The camera device joins the photo task through the server; the camera device sends a request to join the photo task to the server, and after receiving the request, the server allows the camera device to join the photo task and sends a response signal to the camera device.

[0019] The slave management device joins the photo-taking task through the server; the slave management device sends a request to join the photo-taking task to the server, and after receiving the request, the server allows the slave management device to join the photo-taking task and sends a response signal to join the photo-taking task to the slave management device.

[0020] S2: Real-time preview of the photographed picture; refer to Figure 3 , the camera device transmits the captured image to the server in real time; The main management device receives the captured images from the server in real time and displays them; The management device receives and displays the captured images from the server in real time; The slave management device is controlled to report the ready instruction to the server, and the server updates the ready status of the slave management device in real time based on the ready instruction reported by the slave management device. When taking a photo, the person holding the slave management device can also assist the photographer in adjusting the position and angle of the subject (including themselves) according to the content of the shooting picture. There can be multiple slave management devices (0-n); the position of the person is adjusted according to the real-time shooting picture received by the slave device. After the personnel adjustment is completed, the ready instruction is reported to the server.

[0021] S3: Take photos and share them; After all slave management devices are ready and the captured images meet expectations, the master management device sends a capture command to the camera device through the server; After the preset delay time is reached, the server sends a photo-taking instruction to the camera; The camera receives the photo command from the server and takes the photo. After the camera completes the photo, it uploads the photo to the server. The server sends and shares the photos to the main management device; The server sends the photos to the slave management device for sharing.

[0022] When using this method for selfies, the specific steps are as follows: 1) Create a photo taking task; 2) Place the camera in a suitable position in front of the individual; 3) Use the main management device to view the shooting picture in real time and adjust your position and angle according to the shooting picture 4) After you are satisfied with the captured image, issue a photo-taking command through the main management device.

[0023] 5) After the camera finishes shooting, the photo is sent to the main management device through the server.

[0024] This method is used for group photography that requires the photographer to enter the country. The specific steps are as follows: 1) Create a photo taking task; 2) Place the camera in a suitable position in front of the group; 3) The photographer uses the master management device to view the real-time footage captured by the camera and adjusts the positions and angles of the people in the group based on the footage. Other people in the group can also use the slave management device to view the real-time footage captured by the camera and assist the photographer in adjusting the positions of the group based on the footage. After the adjustments are completed, the corresponding slave management device reports a ready command.

[0025] 4) After the photographer is satisfied with the captured image, he or she issues a photo-taking instruction through the main management device.

[0026] 5) After the camera finishes shooting, the server sends the photos to the master and slave management devices that have joined this photo-taking task.

[0027] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
