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.

[0026] The image generation method, apparatus, and device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an image generation method provided in an embodiment of this application. The image generation method may include:

[0028] Step 101: When the first field of view interface of the first application is displayed and the first input is received, acquire the first image, wherein the first image includes the first field of view interface;

[0029] Step 102: Display at least one positioning point, wherein the at least one positioning point includes a first positioning point;

[0030] Step 103: When the touch object slides to the first positioning point, generate a third image based on the second image and the first image, wherein the second image includes the second field of view interface.

[0031] The specific implementation methods of the above steps will be described in detail below.

[0032] In this embodiment, when a first field-of-view interface of a first application is displayed and a first input is received, a first image is acquired, wherein the first image includes the first field-of-view interface; at least one positioning point is displayed, wherein the at least one positioning point includes a first positioning point; when a touch object slides to the first positioning point, a third image is generated based on a second image and the first image, wherein the second image includes a second field-of-view interface. Thus, without switching the first application to a photo album application, images obtained from multiple field-of-view interfaces captured from the first application can be combined into a single image while the user is using the first application. This simplifies the operation and improves image compositing efficiency.

[0033] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the first input in the embodiments of this application is used to trigger the acquisition of a first image. The first input in the embodiments of this application includes, but is not limited to: touch input by the user through a touch object (e.g., a finger or a stylus) to a control used to trigger the acquisition of the first image, voice command input, specific gesture input, etc.; wherein, touch input includes, but is not limited to, click input, swipe input, etc. Click input can be single-click input, double-click input, or any number of clicks, and can also be long-press input or short-press input; specific gesture input can be any one of single-click gesture, swipe gesture, drag gesture, long-press gesture, area change gesture, double-press gesture, double-click gesture. The first input in the embodiments of this application can be set and modified adaptively according to actual needs.

[0034] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, in step 101, when acquiring the first image, the interface of the first field of view can be cropped to obtain the first image.

[0035] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the first field of view interface and the second field of view interface described below are interfaces at different field of view angles.

[0036] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, in step 101, a screenshot guide path may be displayed, and the first image may be obtained when the touch object slides along the screenshot guide path and the sliding speed of the touch object meets the first condition.

[0037] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, when the first input is a swipe input, the swiping speed of the touch object on the screen can be detected, and when the swiping speed is greater than a preset speed threshold, a screenshot guide path is displayed.

[0038] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the screenshot guidance path in the embodiments of this application is used to guide the user to swipe the screen according to the screenshot guidance path. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific form of the screenshot guidance path; any available form can be applied to the embodiments of this application, such as a Z-shaped screenshot guidance path, a semi-circular arc-shaped screenshot guidance path, etc. The screenshot guidance path in the embodiments of this application can be set and adaptively modified according to actual needs.

[0039] It is understood that the first condition in this application embodiment is the interface capture condition. The first condition in this application embodiment may include the average speed of the touch object sliding along the screenshot guide path being greater than a first preset speed, and the instantaneous speed of the touch object sliding to the end of the screenshot guide path being greater than a second preset speed. The first condition in this application embodiment can be set and modified adaptively according to actual needs.

[0040] In some possible implementations of this application's embodiments, the first positioning point is a positioning point used to trigger the generation of a screenshot image. When the touch object slides to the first positioning point, a third image is generated based on the second image and the first image.

[0041] In some implementations of this application, the second image may include multiple viewport interfaces. When generating the third image based on the second image and the first image, the multiple viewport interfaces and the first viewport interface can be arranged according to a preset image layout, and then the third image is generated. This application does not limit the specific form of the preset image layout; any available form can be applied to this application, such as a nine-square grid, a grid, etc. The preset image layout in this application can be set and modified adaptively according to actual needs.

[0042] In some possible implementations of this application's embodiments, in step 103, a third image can be generated based on the second image and the first image, provided that the touch object slides from the end point of the screenshot guide path to the first positioning point and leaves the screen. This application's embodiments do not limit the method used to detect the touch object leaving the screen; any available method can be applied to these embodiments.

[0043] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, in order to avoid the display of the screenshot guide path and the first positioning point affecting the user's use of the first application, when the touch object slides from the end of the screenshot guide path to the first positioning point and the touch object leaves the screen, the display of the screenshot guide path and the first positioning point can be turned off.

[0044] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, at least one positioning point further includes a second positioning point; the image generation method provided in the embodiments of this application further includes: caching a first image when the touch object slides to the second positioning point.

[0045] In some possible implementations of this application's embodiments, the second positioning point is used to continue taking screenshots. When the touch object slides to the second positioning point, the first image is cached, and a third image is not generated.

[0046] In this embodiment, the second positioning point enables continued image cropping, thereby combining multiple cropped images into a single image at once, which improves image synthesis efficiency.

[0047] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, in order to avoid the display of the screenshot guide path, the first positioning point and the second positioning point affecting the user's use of the first application, when the touch object slides to the second positioning point and the touch object leaves the screen, the display of the screenshot guide path, the first positioning point and the second positioning point can be turned off.

[0048] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, at least one positioning point further includes a third positioning point; the image generation method provided in the embodiments of this application further includes: when the touch object slides to the third positioning point and receives a second input, capturing the image in the area selected by the second input in the first field of view interface to obtain a third image.

[0049] In some possible implementations of this application's embodiments, the third positioning point is a positioning point used for partially cropping the field of view interface. In this application's embodiments, the second input is used to select a portion of the field of view interface. When the touch object slides to the third positioning point and receives the second input, the image within the area selected by the second input in the first field of view interface is cropped.

[0050] For example, assuming the size of the field of view interface is 200*100, if the user selects a 50*50 area in the upper left corner of the field of view interface through the second input box, then the 50*50 area will be cropped to obtain the third image.

[0051] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, in order to avoid the display of the screenshot guide path, the first positioning point and the third positioning point affecting the user's use of the first application, after the touch object slides to the third positioning point and captures the image in the area selected by the second input in the first field of view interface, the display of the screenshot guide path, the first positioning point and the third positioning point can be turned off.

[0052] In this embodiment, a portion of the viewpoint interface can be cropped using the third positioning point, and then image synthesis can be performed based on the cropped image, so that the synthesized image does not contain any parts that the user does not need, thus meeting the user's needs and improving the user experience.

[0053] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, at least one positioning point further includes a fourth positioning point; the image generation method provided in the embodiments of this application further includes: when a touch object slides to the fourth positioning point and receives a third input, identifying a first object in the area selected by the third input; when displaying a third field of view interface including the first object, acquiring a fourth image, wherein the fourth image includes the third field of view interface.

[0054] In some possible implementations of this application's embodiments, the fourth positioning point is a positioning point used for object recognition within the region selected by the third input. In this application's embodiments, the third input is used to select a portion of the viewport interface. This application's embodiments do not elaborate on the process of recognizing objects within the region; for details, please refer to descriptions in related technologies.

[0055] For example, assuming the size of the field of view interface is 200*100, the user selects a 50*50 area in the upper left corner of the field of view interface through the third input box. By performing object recognition on this area, it is identified that the area includes object x. Then, during the user's subsequent use of the first application, the field of view interface including object x is cropped.

[0056] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the number of times the field of view interface including the first object is captured can be set. When the number of times the field of view interface including the first object is captured reaches the set number, the field of view interface including the first object will no longer be captured when it is displayed again.

[0057] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, a time interval can be set between two consecutive captures of the field of view interface including the first object. After capturing a certain field of view interface including the first object, if the time between the reappearance of the field of view interface including the first object and the capture of the previous field of view interface including the first object is less than the set time interval, then the reappearing field of view interface including the first object is not captured; if the time between the reappearance of the field of view interface including the first object and the capture of the previous field of view interface including the first object is greater than or equal to the set time interval, then the reappearing field of view interface including the first object is captured.

[0058] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, in order to avoid the display of the screenshot guide path, the first positioning point and the fourth positioning point affecting the user's use of the first application, the display of the screenshot guide path, the first positioning point and the fourth positioning point can be turned off after the touch object slides to the fourth positioning point and passes through the third input box selection area.

[0059] In this embodiment, the fourth positioning point enables automatic tracking and cropping of the object, eliminating the need for the user to manually crop the interface every time the object appears, thereby improving image cropping efficiency and consequently image synthesis efficiency.

[0060] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, at least one positioning point further includes a fifth positioning point; the image generation method provided in the embodiments of this application further includes: when the touch object slides to the fifth positioning point, acquiring the interface in the first application at a preset frequency.

[0061] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the fifth positioning point is a positioning point used to trigger interface capture at a preset frequency. The preset frequency in the embodiments of this application can be set and modified adaptively according to actual needs; for example, the preset frequency is 1 Hz.

[0062] After the touch object slides to the fifth positioning point, the interface of the first application is captured according to the preset frequency.

[0063] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, in order to avoid the display of the screenshot guide path, the first positioning point and the fifth positioning point affecting the user's use of the first application, the display of the screenshot guide path, the first positioning point and the fifth positioning point can be turned off after the touch object slides to the fifth positioning point.

[0064] In this embodiment, the fifth positioning point can automatically perform image cropping at a preset frequency, which can improve image cropping efficiency and thus improve image synthesis efficiency.

[0065] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, at least one positioning point further includes a sixth positioning point; before step 104, the image generation method provided in the embodiments of this application further includes: displaying multiple historical images when the touch object slides to the sixth positioning point; and using the image selected from the multiple historical images as the second image.

[0066] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the sixth positioning point is a positioning point used to trigger the display of historically captured images.

[0067] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, not all historically captured images may be used to generate the captured image; the user may use only a portion of the images to generate the screenshot. Therefore, when the touch object slides to the sixth positioning point, historically captured images can be displayed. The user selects the desired image from the historically captured images, uses the selected image as the second image, and then generates the third image based on the second image and the first image.

[0068] In this embodiment of the application, the user can select an image that meets their needs from multiple captured images through the sixth positioning point, and then perform image synthesis based on the image selected by the user, so that the synthesized image can meet the user's needs and improve the user experience.

[0069] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the screenshot guidance path and location points provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 In the diagram, point S is the starting point of screenshot guidance path 201, and point T is the ending point of screenshot guidance path 201. Screenshot guidance path 201 is a path resembling the letter Z. Positioning point A is the first positioning point, positioning point B is the second positioning point, positioning point C is the third positioning point, positioning point D is the fourth positioning point, positioning point E is the fifth positioning point, and positioning point F is the sixth positioning point. Positioning point A is located within positioning circle O and shares the same center as the center of positioning circle O. Positioning points B, C, D, E, and F are evenly distributed on the circumference of the positioning circle.

[0070] When a certain field of view of the first application is displayed, if the touch object slides along the screenshot guide path 201 and the sliding object of the touch object meets the interface capture conditions, the field of view is captured to obtain the first image.

[0071] When the touch object slides from point T to positioning point B and the touch object leaves the screen, the first image is cached, and the screenshot guide path, positioning circle, and positioning point are turned off.

[0072] After the touch object slides from point T to positioning point C, the user selects a part of the viewpoint interface, drags the "hot zone" (such as a draggable floating ball) corresponding to the selected area to the annular area between positioning point A and positioning circle O (hereinafter referred to as the positioning circle), and then captures the selected area to obtain the fourth image, and closes the display of the screenshot guide path, positioning circle and positioning point.

[0073] After the touch object slides from point T to positioning point D, the user selects a part of the field of view interface, identifies the object in the selected area, and turns off the screenshot guide path, positioning circle and positioning point. If the area is identified to include object x, then the field of view interface including object x will be captured during the user's subsequent use of the first application.

[0074] After the touch object slides from point T to positioning point E, the screenshot guide path, positioning circle, and positioning point are turned off, and the view angle interface is captured according to the preset frequency.

[0075] After the touch object slides from point T to positioning point F, the previously captured images are displayed, and the user selects a second image from the displayed images.

[0076] When the touched object slides from point T to positioning point A and leaves the screen, the screenshot guide path, positioning circle, and positioning point are turned off, and a third image is generated based on the second and first images.

[0077] It should be noted that when a touch object slides from point T to a location other than location point A, it can slide from location point A to another location other than location point A. For example, if a touch object slides from point T to location point A, the touch object does not leave the screen and continues to slide to location point B.

[0078] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, point S, point T, and positioning point A may be located on the same horizontal line.

[0079] The following is in conjunction with the above. Figure 2 The image generation method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described with specific examples.

[0080] When a certain field of view of the first application is displayed, after receiving the first input, the screenshot guide path 201 is displayed; when the touch object slides along the screenshot guide path 201 and the sliding object of the touch object meets the interface capture conditions, the field of view is captured to obtain image P1.

[0081] When the touched object slides from point T to positioning point B and the touched object leaves the screen, cache image P1 and turn off the display of the screenshot guide path, positioning circle and positioning point.

[0082] During the user's use of the first application, when another field of view of the first application is displayed, after receiving the first input, a screenshot guide path 201 is displayed; when the touch object slides along the screenshot guide path 201 and the sliding object of the touch object meets the interface capture conditions, the field of view interface is captured to obtain image P2.

[0083] After the touch object slides from point T to positioning point C, the user selects a part of the viewpoint interface, drags the "hot zone" corresponding to the selected area to the positioning ring, captures the selected area to obtain image P3, and then turns off the display of the screenshot guide path, positioning ring and positioning point.

[0084] During the user's use of the first application, when the second field of view interface of the first application is displayed, after receiving the first input, the screenshot guide path 201 is displayed; when the touch object slides according to the screenshot guide path 201 and the sliding object of the touch object meets the interface capture conditions, the interface of that field of view is captured to obtain image P4.

[0085] After the touch object slides from point T to positioning point D, the user selects a part of the field of view interface. The selected area is then identified as an object, and the screenshot guide path, positioning circle, and positioning point are turned off. The area is identified as including object x. Assuming that the preset number of times the field of view interface including the first object is captured is 2, then during the user's subsequent use of the first application, the field of view interface including object x is captured twice, resulting in image P5 and image P6.

[0086] During the user's use of the first application, when the second field of view interface of the first application is displayed, after receiving the first input, the screenshot guide path 201 is displayed; when the touch object slides according to the screenshot guide path 201 and the sliding object of the touch object meets the interface capture conditions, the interface of that field of view is captured to obtain image P7.

[0087] After the touch object slides from point T to positioning point E, the screenshot guide path, positioning circle, and positioning point are turned off, and the view angle interface is captured according to the preset frequency.

[0088] During the user's use of the first application, when another field of view of the first application is displayed, after receiving the first input, a screenshot guide path 201 is displayed, and the field of view capture at the preset frequency is stopped. Assuming that the field of view capture is performed at the preset frequency, images P8 and P9 are obtained. When the touch object slides along the screenshot guide path 201 and the sliding object meets the interface capture conditions, the field of view is captured to obtain image P10.

[0089] When the touch object slides from point T to positioning point F, images P1 to P10 are displayed. The user selects an image from images P1 to P10, assuming the selected images are images P3, P5, and P7.

[0090] When the touch object slides from positioning point F to positioning point A and leaves the screen, the screenshot guide path, positioning circle, and positioning point are turned off. The final image is generated using images P3, P5, and P7.

[0091] It is understood that in this embodiment, images P1, P2, P4, P7, and P10 are images obtained by cropping the field of view interface; image P3 is an image obtained by cropping a portion of the field of view interface corresponding to image P2; images P5 and P6 are images obtained by tracking and cropping the identified objects in a portion of the field of view interface corresponding to image P4; and images P8 and P9 are images obtained by cropping the field of view interface at a preset frequency.

[0092] The image generation method provided in this application can be executed by an image generation device. This application uses an image generation device executing the image generation method as an example to illustrate the image generation device provided in this application.

The electronic device may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0123] The processor 510 is configured to: acquire a first image when displaying a first field of view interface of a first application and receiving a first input, wherein the first image includes the first field of view interface;

[0124] The display unit 506 is used to: display at least one positioning point, wherein the at least one positioning point includes a first positioning point;

[0125] The processor 510 is also configured to: generate a third image based on the second image and the first image when the touch object slides to the first positioning point, wherein the second image includes a second field of view interface.

[0126] In this embodiment, when a first field-of-view interface of a first application is displayed and a first input is received, a first image is acquired, wherein the first image includes the first field-of-view interface; at least one positioning point is displayed, wherein the at least one positioning point includes a first positioning point; when a touch object slides to the first positioning point, a third image is generated based on a second image and the first image, wherein the second image includes a second field-of-view interface. Thus, without switching the first application to a photo album application, images obtained from multiple field-of-view interfaces captured from the first application can be combined into a single image while the user is using the first application. This simplifies the operation and improves image compositing efficiency.

[0127] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, at least one positioning point further includes a second positioning point;

[0128] The memory 509 is used to cache the first image when the touch object slides to the second positioning point.

[0131] When the touch object slides to the third positioning point and receives the second input, the image of the area selected by the second input in the first field of view interface is obtained, and the fourth image is obtained.

[0132] In this embodiment, a portion of the viewpoint interface can be cropped using the third positioning point, and then image synthesis can be performed based on the cropped image, so that the synthesized image does not contain any parts that the user does not need, thus meeting the user's needs and improving the user experience.

[0133] In some possible implementations of embodiments of this application, at least one positioning point further includes a fourth positioning point; the processor 510 is also configured to:

[0134] When the touch object slides to the fourth positioning point and receives the third input, the first object in the area selected by the third input is identified; when the third field of view interface including the first object is displayed, a fifth image is acquired, the fifth image including the third field of view interface.

[0135] In this embodiment, the fourth positioning point enables automatic tracking and cropping of the object, eliminating the need for the user to manually crop the interface every time the object appears, thereby improving image cropping efficiency and consequently image synthesis efficiency.

[0136] In some possible implementations of embodiments of this application, at least one positioning point further includes a fifth positioning point; the processor 510 is also configured to:

[0137] When the touch object slides to the fifth positioning point, the interface of the first application is obtained at a preset frequency.

[0138] In this embodiment, the fifth positioning point can automatically perform image cropping at a preset frequency, which can improve image cropping efficiency and thus improve image synthesis efficiency.

[0139] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, at least one positioning point further includes a sixth positioning point; the display unit 506 is also used for:

[0140] When the touched object is slid to the sixth positioning point, multiple historical images are displayed;

[0141] Accordingly, processor 510 is also used for:

[0142] The image selected from multiple historical images will be used as the second image.

[0143] In this embodiment of the application, the user can select an image that meets their needs from multiple captured images through the sixth positioning point, and then perform image synthesis based on the image selected by the user, so that the synthesized image can meet the user's needs and improve the user experience.
