Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image processing and management, in particular to a method for previewing album image tags, a terminal operation control device for implementing the method and a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of digital technology, people are increasingly inclined to use electronic devices to store and manage large amounts of photos, pictures, videos and other image data, and the cumulative span of these images and videos may exceed ten years. In album applications, how to efficiently and intuitively manage and search for these image data has become an important issue, especially when searching for an image with a specific meaning many years ago, it is necessary to flip through many pages or use different methods to locate similar image pages. Traditional album management methods often lack intuitiveness and convenience, especially when it is necessary to annotate, classify and search for images, the user operation is complicated and inefficient.

[0003] Specifically, nowadays, the frequency of taking photos and recording videos with mobile phones is increasing. As the memory of mobile phones continues to increase, the number of pictures and videos in people's albums is also increasing. Thousands and tens of thousands of pictures and videos are commonplace. Traditional photo management methods include: album classification, specifically creating albums with different names and then dividing related photos into these albums. The disadvantage is that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Even if there are thousands of pictures in a sub-album, it is difficult to quickly find the required photos. Although favorites can collect important pictures, they are actually similar to album classification. It is also difficult to find them quickly if there are too many collections. Automatic recognition based on image attributes, although images with obvious features such as people and places can be recognized, the recognition error rate is high, and for some images and videos with unclear features, intelligent recognition often cannot accurately find them. Whether it is pictures or videos, a large amount of data information needs to be processed when searching, which will lead to low search efficiency and consume a lot of resources. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method and device for previewing album image tags. The method realizes intuitive preview and quick editing of tag information by superimposing a tag floating layer on the album thumbnail window, and supports search based on tag information, thereby greatly improving the convenience, accuracy and efficiency of image management.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a method for previewing album image tags, comprising the following steps: - forming a label floating layer by superimposing it on the thumbnail window of the album, wherein the label floating layer is divided into label areas corresponding to and overlapping with each unit image of the album based on the image layout of the thumbnail window; -The user selects any unit image in the album and edits the tag information; -The label information associated with each unit image is displayed in the label area corresponding to the label floating layer.

[0006] Furthermore, when the user needs to find an image with a specific tag, the unit image associated with the image is searched based on the tag information, including: - Extract all label information and the location information of their label areas, and establish a collection to form a guidance database; -Based on the input search feature information, match the data in the guidance database to establish the matching tag information; - Based on the position information of the label area corresponding to the matching label information, the overlapping and related unit images are established.

[0007] Furthermore, the label information includes numbers, words, graphics, and symbols.

[0008] Furthermore, the user wakes up the editing tag information through a predetermined interactive operation in the thumbnail window of the album and / or the detailed reading window of the unit image.

[0009] Furthermore, the unit image is any type of image type including a photo, a picture, a video, and a screenshot.

[0010] Furthermore, when the user selects any unit image in the thumbnail window of the album to enter the detailed reading window of a single unit image, the label pop-up layer and its label information can be set to be displayed in a cascade, exited or hidden as needed. After the user returns to the thumbnail window of the album, the label pop-up layer and its label information are reopened or displayed.

[0019] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention is described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings provide preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thoroughly and comprehensively understood.

[0020] See attached Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a method for previewing album image labels is provided, which allows the user to edit the customized label information of the unit images stored in the album as desired, and the edited label information is floated on the label area corresponding to the label floating layer, so that the user can intuitively and clearly identify the corresponding unit image according to the label information, so that the user can quickly identify and find the required pictures and videos from a large number of pictures in the album, and the edited label information will not change the original graphic properties of the unit image.

[0021] Specifically, this implementation includes the following steps: Step S1: forming a label floating layer by superimposing it on the thumbnail window of the album, wherein the label floating layer is divided into label areas corresponding to and overlapping with each unit image in the album according to the image layout of the thumbnail window.

[0022] Specifically, with Figure 2 For example, the definition of the album thumbnail window shows nine unit images arranged in a row. The album thumbnail window here is the bottom layer. Each unit image has a unique file name, which can be used as an index for subsequent searches and matches. For the sake of convenience, the definition is as follows Figure 2 The file names of the nine unit images shown are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and I respectively. Figure 3 For example, the label floating layer is defined to have nine label areas arranged in a row and corresponding to the nine unit images in the thumbnail window. For the sake of explanation, the definition is as follows: Figure 2 The nine label areas shown are a, b, c, d, e, f, g, and i. Correspondingly, each label area corresponds to each unit image one by one, such as: "a→A", "b→B"... "i→I". Secondly, the label floating layer here is the top layer, which is stacked above the thumbnail window of the album, and the label floating layer is transparent (using this method, there is no need to change the user's existing operating habits, and the user can view the various unit images at the bottom through the transparent label floating layer). In addition, the label floating layer is stacked with the album thumbnail window, which is no different from the original album in the actual operation process, avoiding the user's learning and cultivation of additional operating habits.

[0023] Step S2: The user selects any unit image in the album and edits the label information.

[0024] Specifically, the user selects any unit image in the album, and can edit and input the label information of the unit image according to the preset label or customized label. For example: the user selects the unit image of "File Name C", and edits and customizes the two words "Contract" as the label information; or, the user selects the unit image of "File Name D", and edits and selects the two words "Scenery" in the preset label as the label information; or, the user selects the unit image of "File Name E", and edits and selects "A Picture" and the three words "Yellow Crane Tower" as the label information. The above-mentioned label information has many forms, including numbers, text, graphics, and symbols. In actual use, users can independently select suitable content as label information according to their own situation, which is not specifically limited here.

[0025] Step S3: The label information associated with each unit image is floated in the label area corresponding to the label floating layer.

[0026] Specifically, after the user completes editing the label information of any unit image, the label area corresponding to the unit image in the label floating layer will display the label information, so that the user can directly check the label information displayed on the upper layer of the unit image when previewing in the thumbnail window of the album, so as to intuitively and quickly find the required unit image. Figure 4 The thumbnail window of the album and the stacked label floating layers shown in the figure have the label information of "Contract" floating in the label area c; or, the label information of "Landscape" floating in the label area d. Based on this, when the user needs to find the unit image related to the contract, he can preview and search for the label with the word "Contract" in the thumbnail window of the album, and can find the corresponding unit image intuitively and quickly.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the user selects any unit image in the thumbnail window of the album to enter the detailed reading window of a single unit image, the label floating layer and its label information can be set to display, exit or hide as needed. After the user returns to the thumbnail window of the album, the label floating layer and the label information on it are reopened or displayed to restore the previous preview state. In this way, it is possible to avoid the visual interference of label information during the user's review of a single unit image, and avoid interfering with the user's detailed browsing experience. In addition, the above-mentioned label floating layer and its label information can be exited or hidden immediately, or can be exited or hidden with a delay (which can facilitate the user to view the label information briefly and then specifically view the unit image). It is not specifically limited here, and those skilled in the art can select an appropriate method as needed.

[0028] In this embodiment, the user can flexibly perform operations such as secondary editing, deleting or adding new tags on the existing tag information, and the tag floating layer will dynamically update the tag information in real time.

[0029] In this embodiment, the user wakes up the editing of label information through a predetermined interactive operation in the thumbnail window of the album and / or the detailed reading window of the unit image. For example, in the thumbnail window of the album, the user can select the unit image for which he wants to add or modify label information through the preset "two-finger long press" interactive operation. In response to the user's selection, the system pops up or switches to the label editing interface, allowing the user to enter or modify the label information associated with the unit image. The interactive operation here is not limited to the above-mentioned "two-finger long press", and other derived methods may also be used.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the user inputs search feature information, the unit image associated with the search feature information is determined based on the tag information, including: Step W1: extract all label information and the location information of the label area, and establish a collection to form a guidance database; Specifically, the system extracts all label information and its corresponding label area location information, and establishes and maintains a guidance database. This database is used to store the association between label information and unit images. Figure 5-7 The specific database is shown below.

[0031] Unit Image Label area Mark 1 Mark 2 Mark 3 A a B b C c contract D d landscape E e picture Yellow Crane Tower F f 20240101 Ancient Poetry Quiet Night Thoughts G g I i Step W2: According to the input search feature information, data matching is performed with the guidance database to establish matching tag information; Specifically, when a user needs to find an image with a specific tag, he or she enters the search feature information (such as keywords, pictures, etc.) in the search box, and performs a matching search in the guidance database to find the tag information that meets the search criteria. For example, if a user enters the keyword "Yellow Crane Tower" in the search box, the system will perform a matching search in the guidance database to find the matching "Yellow Crane Tower" tag information.

[0032] Step W3: Based on the position information of the label area corresponding to the matching label information, the overlapping and associated unit images are established.

[0033] Specifically, based on the matched tag information, the system determines the unit image associated with it and directly locates the album location of the image. If there are multiple images with the same tag, an operation "next" button can be added. Pressing one can jump to the image. If there are multiple images with the same tag, they can also be arranged in the search results list. For example: based on finding the matching "Yellow Crane Tower" tag information, the label area e associated with it and its associated unit image E are established, so as to prompt display in the thumbnail window or extract and arrange them in the search results list. Technical personnel in this field can choose an appropriate method as needed, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0034] In this embodiment, the unit image is any type of image type including a photo, a picture, a video, or a screenshot. Therefore, this embodiment facilitates search and can accurately locate through the above-mentioned search matching based on tag information. Specifically, when a user needs to find an image with a specific tag, the search is performed based on the search feature information that needs to be searched and the corresponding matching search with the tag information. Compared with processing and searching the original picture and video information with a huge amount of data information, the efficiency of locating the target photo in the album is greatly improved. In addition, since the search range of the search feature information is located to the tag information rather than the original picture data with a huge amount of information, the data processing volume and the resources consumed for searching are greatly saved.

[0035] In this embodiment, the terminal operation control device specifically includes: Processor: responsible for executing instructions stored in the memory to implement each step of the above-mentioned album image label preview method.

[0036] Memory: used to store necessary data such as processor executable instructions, label information, unit image data, etc. The memory can be any form of storage device such as RAM, ROM, flash memory, hard disk, etc.

[0037] Display module: used to display user interface elements such as thumbnail windows, label pop-ups, search results, etc.

[0038] Input module: used to receive user input operations, such as click, long press, slide, etc., to trigger functions such as editing and searching of tag information.

[0039] When the user selects a unit image through the input module and triggers the label editing function, the processor reads the relevant instructions and data in the memory and executes the editing and display operations of the label information.

[0040] When the user inputs search feature information to conduct a search, the processor searches and matches the tag information that meets the conditions in the memory, and then updates the user interface on the display module to display the search results.

[0041] The handler is also responsible for controlling the display and hiding of the tab overlay based on user operations (such as entering detailed viewing mode or returning to the thumbnail window).

[0042] In this embodiment, a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium is also provided, on which computer program instructions for implementing the above-mentioned album image tag preview method are stored. When these instructions are executed by the processor, the processor can be guided to complete tasks such as editing, displaying, searching and user interaction of tag information. The non-volatile computer-readable storage medium can be any form of storage device such as a USB flash drive, an SD card, a solid-state hard disk, an optical disk, etc.

[0043] The embodiments described above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Any technician familiar with the art who, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, makes more possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention using the technical content disclosed above, or modifications are all equivalent embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent and equivalent changes made according to the ideas of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
