[0031] Figure 1 The block diagram schematically shows a photographing device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a photographing device 100 , including a display unit 110 , a zoom control 120 , and a configuration interface 130 .

[0033] The display unit 110 is configured to display a preview image of the field of view captured by the camera module;

[0034] The zoom control 120 is configured to receive an operation instruction from a user, where the operation instruction is used to adjust the zoom ratio of the preview image;

[0035] The configuration interface 130 is used to configure display attribute information of the zoom control, wherein when the zoom control 120 is configured to have different display attribute information, the operation indication metric information displayed by the zoom control 120 is at least partially different.

[0036] In this embodiment, the shooting device 100 can be integrated into an electronic device or used alone, which is not limited here. The shooting device 100 can be any intelligent terminal with shooting and display functions, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a desktop, a laptop, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, a car computer, a car device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a netbook, and a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), a professional camera (such as a SLR camera, a card camera, etc.), a sports camera (GoPro), an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR)\virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) device, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose any special restrictions on the specific form of the shooting device.

[0037] In this embodiment, the camera module (camera compact module, CCM) is an electronic device for capturing images and is an essential component of the camera. The type and parameters of the camera module can be set according to user needs, and this disclosure does not impose specific restrictions. The camera module acquisition field of view (Field of View, FOV) is used to indicate the maximum field of view that the camera module can capture when the shooting device is shooting the target object.

[0038] In this embodiment, the display unit 110 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or a projection display device, which is not limited herein.

[0039] For example, the camera 100 is a smart phone, and the display unit 110 is a mobile phone screen. The preview image displayed by the display unit 110 may be a preview image of the field of view captured by the camera module displayed when the user starts the camera function. For example, the user may click on the camera icon on the mobile phone screen, and after starting the camera application, the mobile phone screen displays the preview image.

[0040] In this embodiment, the zoom control 120 may be an operable control displayed on the display unit 110, such as a scroll bar, a value box, a wheel control, etc. The operation instruction made by the user on the zoom control 120 may be, for example, a gesture operation, a key operation, a scroll bar drag operation, a voice input, etc. for zooming the aforementioned preview image, wherein the gesture operation includes long press, single click, double click, and slide.

[0041] The operation indication measurement information may be an adjustable range displayed by the zoom control 120 as an operation guidance prompt. The user may make appropriate operation indications to the zoom control 120 according to the operation indication measurement information to adjust the zoom ratio of the preview image.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the configuration interface 130 configures the zoom control 120 to have first display attribute information, the zoom control 120 displays first operation indication measurement information; when the configuration interface 130 configures the zoom control 120 to have second display attribute information, the zoom control 120 displays second operation indication measurement information, wherein the first display attribute information is different from the second display attribute information, and the first operation indication measurement information is at least partially different from the second operation indication measurement information.

[0043] Figure 2 The schematic diagram shows a principle diagram of a photographing device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in the shooting device 100, the rectangular dotted frame of the display unit 110 represents the field of view captured by the camera module, and the preview image displayed by the display unit 110 has a first zoom ratio of 1x.

[0045] The configuration interface 130 is used to configure display attribute information of the zoom control 120 , wherein when the zoom control 120 is configured to have different display attribute information, the operation indication metric information displayed by the zoom control 120 is at least partially different.

[0046] The zoom control 120 is used to receive an operation instruction from a user to adjust the zoom ratio of the preview image.

[0047] For example, the zoom control 120 is a scroll bar, the operation indication is a sliding operation, and the operation indication metric information is the scroll range displayed by the scroll bar. Thus, the user can perform a suitable sliding operation according to the scroll range displayed by the scroll bar, and slide the slider on the scroll bar from a first position to a second position to indicate that the zoom ratio of the preview image is adjusted from the first zoom ratio to the second zoom ratio.

[0048] In this embodiment, the zoom ratio may also be referred to as the zoom ratio or zoom factor, which refers to the multiple by which the resolution is magnified, and can be understood as the focal length of the current camera, which is equivalent to the zoom ratio of the reference focal length. Generally speaking, the reference focal length is usually the focal length of the main camera. The default zoom ratio of the shooting device is the basic multiple, which is "1x", that is, 1x, without zoom. For example, the first zoom ratio may be "1x", and the second zoom ratio may be "2x", that is, 2x magnification.

[0049] Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, users can adaptively adjust the display information of the zoom control, such as operation instruction measurement information, by configuring in the configuration interface according to usage needs and habits. When the operation instruction measurement information is different, the operation instructions made by the user under the guidance of the operation instruction measurement information will be different accordingly. The present disclosure allows users to clearly know the adjustable range of the zoom ratio before adjusting the zoom ratio of the preview image. Users can independently set the default zoom ratio-related parameters of the shooting device, which is convenient for users to adjust the shooting parameters and shoot images according to the adjustments. The present disclosure is highly flexible and easy to operate, meets the personalized shooting needs of users, and optimizes the user experience.

[0050] Figure 3 The diagram schematically shows a principle diagram of maximum zoom ratio adjustment according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the display attribute information includes a maximum zoom factor, wherein:

[0052] When the zoom control 120 is configured to have a first maximum zoom ratio, the zoom control 120 displays operation indication metric information having a first length;

[0053] When the zoom control 120 is configured to have a second maximum zoom ratio, the zoom control 120 displays operation indication measurement information having a second length, the first maximum zoom ratio is greater than the second maximum zoom ratio, and the first length is greater than the second length.

[0054] For example, the first maximum zoom ratio is the default maximum zoom ratio of 8x for the shooting device. The user can configure the zoom control 120 to have a second maximum zoom ratio of 6x according to usage requirements and habits, and then display operation indication measurement information of the corresponding length on the zoom control 120.

[0055] The length displayed by the zoom control 120 is used as an operation indication measurement information to display the user's adjustable range of the zoom ratio. For example, when the zoom control 120 is a scroll bar, when the user configures the scroll bar to have a higher maximum zoom ratio in the configuration interface 130, the scroll bar is displayed as follows: Figure 3(a) shows the first length A1; when the user configures the scroll bar to have a lower maximum zoom ratio in the configuration interface 130, the scroll bar is displayed as follows Figure 3 (b) shows the second length A2. It can be seen that the first length A1 is longer than the second length A2, that is, as the first maximum zoom ratio is gradually reduced, the length displayed by the zoom control 120 is also gradually reduced.

[0056] Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, users can adjust the default maximum zoom ratio of the shooting device in the configuration interface according to usage requirements and habits, thereby adaptively displaying the operation instruction measurement information of the corresponding length on the zoom control, which is highly flexible and easy to operate, meets the user's personalized shooting needs, and optimizes the user experience.

[0057] It should be noted that the camera usually provides a default maximum zoom ratio corresponding to the camera, that is, the maximum zoom ratio supported by the camera. Both the first maximum zoom ratio and the second maximum zoom ratio must fall within the maximum zoom ratio supported by the camera and cannot exceed the maximum zoom ratio. For example, if the default maximum zoom ratio of the camera is 8x, then both the first maximum zoom ratio and the second maximum zoom ratio are less than or equal to 8x, for example, they can be 2x~8x.

[0058] Figure 4 The schematic diagram shows the principle of zoom ratio interval adjustment according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the display attribute information includes a zoom ratio interval, wherein:

[0060] When the zoom control 120 is configured to have a first zoom magnification interval, the first interval displayed by the zoom control 120 indicates a first zoom magnification step value;

[0061] When the zoom control 120 is configured to have a second zoom magnification interval, the second interval displayed by the zoom control 120 indicates a second zoom magnification step value, the first zoom magnification interval is greater than the second zoom magnification interval, and the first zoom magnification step value is greater than the second zoom magnification step value.

[0062] The zoom factor step value can also be called the increment coefficient or decrement coefficient, which is the smallest adjustment unit of the zoom factor. The user needs to adjust the zoom factor according to the step value. For example, if the step value is set to 1x and the zoom factor before adjustment is 3x, the zoom factor after adjustment can be increased or decreased by N 1x on 3x, where N is a positive integer.

[0063] For example, the first zoom ratio interval is the default zoom ratio interval of 0.1x of the photographing device, and the user can configure the zoom control to have a second zoom ratio interval of 1x according to usage requirements and habits, and then display the corresponding interval on the zoom control.

[0064] The interval displayed by the zoom control 120 is used as an operation indication measurement information to display the user's adjustable range of the zoom ratio. For example, when the zoom control 120 is a scroll bar, when the user configures the scroll bar to have a higher zoom ratio interval in the configuration interface 130, the scroll bar displays as follows: Figure 4 (a) shows a first interval B1, which indicates a first zoom ratio step value; when the user configures the scroll bar to have a lower zoom ratio interval in the configuration interface 130, the scroll bar is displayed as follows Figure 4 (b) shows a second interval B2, which indicates a second zoom ratio step value, wherein the first zoom ratio step value is greater than the second zoom ratio step value. It can be seen that as the zoom ratio interval is gradually reduced, the zoom ratio step value indicated by the interval displayed by the zoom control 120 also gradually decreases.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first interval B1 is greater than the second interval B2, so that the adjustment effect of the zoom ratio interval on the zoom control can be intuitively displayed. In another embodiment, the first interval B1 is equal to the second interval B2, but the zoom ratio step values ​​indicated by the two intervals are different, so that the display performance of the shooting device can be reduced to save power consumption.

[0066] Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, users can adjust the default zoom ratio interval of the shooting device in the configuration interface according to usage needs and habits, so as to adaptively display the corresponding operation instruction measurement information in the zoom control, so that the user can make corresponding operation instructions to adjust the current zoom ratio.

[0067] It should be noted that the shooting device usually provides a default zoom ratio interval corresponding to the camera, that is, the minimum zoom ratio interval supported by the camera. The first zoom ratio interval and the second zoom ratio interval are both greater than or equal to the minimum zoom ratio interval supported by the camera, and cannot be less than the minimum zoom ratio interval. For example, the default zoom ratio interval of the shooting device is 0.1x, then the first zoom ratio interval and the second zoom ratio interval are both greater than or equal to 0.1x, for example, they can be 0.1x~1x. In addition, the first zoom ratio interval and the second zoom ratio interval are both less than or equal to the maximum zoom ratio supported by the camera.

[0068] Figure 5 The schematic diagram shows the principle of adjusting the zoom ratio indication label according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0069] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the display attribute information includes a zoom ratio indication tag, and the configuration interface is further configured to receive a user's operation of adding or deleting the number of zoom ratio indication tags, wherein:

[0070] When the zoom ratio indication labels are configured to have a first number, the zoom control displays the first number of zoom ratio indication labels;

[0071] When the zoom ratio indication labels are configured to have a second number, the zoom control displays the second number of zoom ratio indication labels, and the first number is different from the second number.

[0072] In this embodiment, the addition and deletion operation includes adding or deleting. The zoom ratio indication label can be a text label, a symbol label, an image label, etc., used to indicate a corresponding zoom ratio. The zoom ratio indication label can be displayed below the preview interface where the preview image is located.

[0073] Usually, the positions of different zoom magnification labels of the camera device on the screen are fixed and known. When the user clicks the screen to adjust the zoom magnification label, he can only choose from a number of discrete optional zoom magnification labels, such as Figure 5 As shown in (a), five optional zoom ratio labels are displayed on the zoom control 120, and the zoom ratios are 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x respectively.

[0074] Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of zoom ratio indication labels can be adjusted so as to be adaptively displayed on the zoom control to meet the personalized shooting needs of the user. Figure 5 As shown in (b), the user selects a certain number of zoom ratios 1x, 2x, and 5x according to his or her own usage requirements or operating habits, and can add or delete the number of zoom ratio indication labels in the configuration interface 130, and configure the first number of zoom ratio indication labels to be 3, so that the zoom control displays these three specific zoom ratio indication labels.

[0075] In some embodiments, the zoom ratio indication label includes a fixed display label and a configurable label, and the configuration interface is further configured to receive a user's operation of adding or deleting the number of configurable labels. In this way, the fixed display label cannot be adjusted, and the configurable label can be adjusted by the user.

[0076] In some embodiments, the zoom ratio indication label further includes a non-integer zoom ratio label. For example, the zoom ratio indicated by the zoom ratio indication label may be 1.2x, 2.3x, 3.5x, etc.

[0077] In some embodiments, the configuration interface is further configured to display a plurality of candidate tags, the plurality of candidate tags including a target candidate tag determined based on user preferences, wherein:

[0078] In response to the user selecting a target candidate label, the zoom control displays the target candidate label;

[0079] In response to a user operation indicating a target candidate tag, a current zoom ratio of the preview image is adjusted to the zoom ratio indicated by the target candidate tag.

[0080] For example, the multiple candidate tags displayed by the configuration interface are not initially displayed on the zoom control. After the user selects a target candidate tag through the configuration interface, the zoom control displays the target candidate tag. Then, the user can make an operation instruction on the target candidate tag on the zoom control to adjust the current zoom ratio of the preview image. The candidate tags here can be automatically recommended to the user based on the user's setting habits. For example, if the user is accustomed to setting a 3.7x zoom ratio, when it is recognized that the user has set the ratio multiple times for shooting operations, such as operations greater than a threshold number of times, the zoom ratio tag can be recommended to the user as a candidate tag. When the user configures the zoom control through the configuration interface, it can be selected by the user and then displayed on the zoom control as a shortcut ratio tag, which greatly facilitates the user's shooting operation.

[0081] Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, commonly used zoom ratio labels can be automatically recommended to users in the configuration interface according to usage requirements and habits, so that users can add commonly used zoom ratio indication labels to the zoom controls, thereby adaptively displaying corresponding zoom ratio indication labels on the zoom controls. This has high flexibility and easy operation, meets users' personalized shooting needs, and optimizes user experience.

[0082] Figure 6 The block diagram schematically shows a photographing device according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0083] like Figure 6 As shown, the second embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photographing device 600, which is different from the photographing device 100 provided in the first embodiment in that the photographing device 600 further includes a first imaging unit 610. The first imaging unit 610 is configured as follows:

[0084] In response to a user triggering a first shooting instruction, the camera module captures a field of view and generates a plurality of transition images from a zoom factor before adjustment to a zoom factor after adjustment;

[0085] Based on the plurality of transition images, a first dynamic image set is generated.

[0086] In some embodiments, a plurality of function buttons are provided on the preview interface where the preview image is located. These function buttons can provide a variety of functions, such as shooting, recording, continuous shooting, focusing, previewing, turning on and off the flash, etc. The user can execute the corresponding function by operating the function buttons.

[0087] For example, the first shooting instruction is an instruction generated by the shooting button in the above-mentioned function button, and the user triggers the first shooting instruction by operating the shooting button. When the zoom control receives the user's operation instruction to adjust the zoom ratio of the preview image from the first zoom ratio to the second zoom ratio, the user triggers the first shooting instruction to shoot the image, and generates multiple transition images from the first zoom ratio to the second zoom ratio.

[0088] In some embodiments, the number of transition images is determined based on the difference between the first zoom ratio and the second zoom ratio, and the default or user-set zoom ratio interval. For example, if the first zoom ratio is 1x, the second zoom ratio is 5x, and the zoom ratio interval is 1x, then five transition images ranging from 1x to 5x and with an interval of 1x can be obtained, and their zoom ratios are 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x, respectively. Among them, the transition image with a zoom ratio of 1x is the aforementioned preview image. It can be seen that the transition image includes the preview image of the zoom ratio before adjustment and the image of the zoom ratio after adjustment, that is, the number of transition images is at least two.

[0089] Next, the first imaging unit 610 further synthesizes the multiple transition images to generate a first dynamic image set. It can be understood that the first dynamic image set is an image set with a certain dynamic effect generated when multiple specific static images are switched at a specified frequency.

[0090] Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, the shooting device can generate multiple transition images from the zoom ratio before adjustment to the zoom ratio after adjustment, and then use the multiple transition images to generate a dynamic image set. Since different zoom ratios capture different details and perspectives, the first dynamic image set can continuously and smoothly switch the zoom ratio, which can enable the user to intuitively feel the image switching effect of the zoom ratio adjustment, thereby improving the user's personalized shooting experience.

[0091] Figure 7 A block diagram of a photographing device according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0092] like Figure 7 As shown, the third embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photographing device 700, which is different from the photographing device 100 provided in the first embodiment in that the photographing device 700 further includes a second imaging unit 710. The second imaging unit 710 is configured as:

[0093] In response to a user triggering a second shooting instruction, capturing a plurality of continuous shooting images at a current resolution;

[0094] A plurality of captured images are processed to generate a super-resolution image with a target resolution, wherein the current resolution is lower than the target resolution.

[0095] For example, the second shooting instruction is a continuous shooting instruction generated by a continuous shooting button in the above-mentioned function buttons. The user operates the continuous shooting button to trigger the continuous shooting instruction and collect multiple continuous shooting images at the current resolution.

[0096] For example, the second shooting instruction is a recording instruction generated by a recording button in the above-mentioned function buttons, and the user triggers the recording instruction by operating the recording button. After receiving the recording instruction triggered by the user, the shooting device obtains a real-time video stream, and then captures a plurality of continuous shooting images from the video stream.

[0097] For example, each captured image may be a single-frame image, and the number of captured images may be determined according to the video frame rate (e.g., 30fps) supported by the camera of the shooting device or specified by the user, that is, how many consecutive frames are captured within 1 second. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the acquisition method of multiple captured images.

[0098] Next, a super-resolution image is generated based on the multiple captured images. It is understandable that when the camera is capturing an image, when the zoom ratio increases, the clarity of the image will be affected. For example, the current resolution is 512*512 and the target resolution is 1024*1024. Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, when adjusting the zoom ratio, the super-resolution technology is used, and the super-resolution image thus formed has a higher resolution, which can improve the clarity of the image.

[0099] It is understandable that super resolution (SR) refers to obtaining a high-resolution image using one or more low-resolution images through hardware or software methods, thereby improving the resolution of the original input image. In some embodiments, the second shooting instruction is a super-resolution shooting instruction. A super-resolution shooting control is provided on the preview interface where the preview image is located, and the super-resolution shooting control can provide a super-resolution shooting function. The user triggers the super-resolution shooting instruction by operating the super-resolution shooting control, collects multiple continuous captured images at the current resolution, and then uses the super-resolution algorithm to process the multiple captured images to generate a super-resolution image with a target resolution.

[0100] The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit the super-resolution algorithm, and all existing super-resolution algorithms are applicable to the present disclosure.
