For example, at least one of a, b, and c can mean: "a," "b," "c," "a and b," "a and c," "b and c," and "a, b, and c," where a, b, and c can be single or multiple. Similarly, "at least two" refers to two or more items, and its meaning is similar to that of "at least one."

[0029] The subject executing the shooting method provided in this application embodiment can be a shooting device, which can be an electronic device, or a functional module or functional entity within an electronic device. The following description uses an electronic device executing the shooting method as an example to illustrate the shooting method provided in this application embodiment.

[0030] The shooting method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0031] The shooting method provided in this application can be applied to scenarios of shooting portraits or recording videos of group portraits.

[0032] In the scenario of shooting portraits, suppose user A uses the wide-angle camera of an electronic device to take a group photo of user B, user C, and user D. If user E enters the field of view of the wide-angle camera and user A does not want user E to appear in the captured image, then privacy protection processing can be performed on the image area of ​​user E in the captured image.

[0033] In the scenario of recording videos of a group of people, suppose user A uses the wide-angle camera of an electronic device to record videos of users B, C, and D. If user E enters the field of view of the wide-angle camera and user A does not want user E to appear in the recorded video, then privacy protection processing can be performed on the image area of ​​user E in the recorded video.

[0034] It should be noted that the shooting method provided in this application embodiment can also be applied to shooting other objects, such as shooting natural landscapes, buildings and any other scene. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of the shooting method provided in the embodiments of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the shooting method may include the following steps 201 to 203:

[0036] Step 201: The first electronic device receives the user's first input to the shooting preview interface.

[0037] The shooting preview interface includes preview images captured by the camera.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the camera may include any of the following: a 2x camera, a wide-angle camera, a telephoto camera, and a depth-sensing camera, etc. The camera may also be other cameras, and this application does not limit them in any way.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the aforementioned shooting preview interface is used to display a preview image captured by the camera. For example, when using the camera to capture a photo or video of person B, the shooting preview interface displays the captured image of person B.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic device can display a shooting preview interface when it enters video recording mode or photo taking mode. For example, after a user opens the camera application, the electronic device enters video recording mode or photo taking mode and displays a shooting preview interface.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the first input described above is used to trigger video recording or image capture.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the first input may include any of the following: user touch input, voice input, gesture input, folding or unfolding operation of the foldable screen, or other feasible inputs, which are not limited in this application embodiment. Further, the touch input may be: user click input, swipe input, press input, etc. Further, the click operation may be any number of clicks. The swipe operation may be a swipe operation in any direction, such as swiping up, swiping down, swiping left, or swiping right, which are not limited in this application embodiment.

[0043] For example, the first input mentioned above can be a user's touch input to the shooting control in the shooting preview window, or a folding input to the foldable screen, or a swiping input in the shooting preview window.

[0044] Step 202: The first electronic device responds to the first input and controls the camera to take a picture, thereby obtaining the first image file.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the first image file described above may include at least one of an image and a video.

[0046] For example, taking the first image file as an example, when using a camera to take a group photo of people B, C and D, if user E enters the field of view of the camera, the first electronic device will obtain an image including people B, C, D and E after taking the picture.

[0047] For another example, taking the first image file as a video, when using a camera to record video of people B, C, and D, if user E enters the camera's field of view, the first electronic device will obtain a video including people B, C, D, and E after recording the video.

[0048] Step 203: The first electronic device performs privacy protection processing on the first image file based on the first information and outputs the second image file.

[0049] The first information includes at least one of the following: object feature information obtained from the second electronic device, object information in images stored locally on the first electronic device, object information configured in the target group joined by the user on the first electronic device, and object information of the object selected by the user in the shooting preview interface.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the second image file may include at least one of an image and a video. For example, if the first image file is an image, the second image file may be an image; if the first image file is a video, the second image file may be a video.

[0051] In some possible implementations, the first electronic device may receive object feature information from the second electronic device.

[0052] It should be noted that the second electronic device can send object feature information to the first electronic device.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the aforementioned object feature information may include at least one of the following: facial feature information, iris feature information, voiceprint feature information, object feature information, etc. For example, for non-biological objects, object feature information may include shape, size, color, texture, material, etc. For instance, object feature information may be the texture, edges, and color distribution of a license plate.

[0054] It should be noted that the above-mentioned object feature information refers to the data of the specific features of an object (such as an item, person, scene, etc.). These features can be physical features (such as color, shape, size), behavioral features (such as movement trajectory, speed), or any other attribute that can distinguish or define the object.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the first electronic device can acquire object information in a locally stored image.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the image locally stored by the first electronic device refers to an image stored in the internal memory of the first electronic device. Further, the image may be taken by the first electronic device or downloaded from the Internet.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the object information may include at least one of the following: facial information, object information, etc. Further, the facial information may be a facial image, and the object information may be an object image. For example, the facial image may be a face image of person E, and the object image may be an image of a license plate.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the first electronic device may obtain object information from a target group joined by the user.

[0059] It should be noted that the user of the first electronic device can be the owner of the first electronic device or other users of the first electronic device.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the target group can be a social group, interest group, work group, family group, etc.

[0061] For example, suppose a user joins a social group A, which includes user A, user B, and user C. User A, user B, and user C upload their respective facial images to social group A. The first electronic device can obtain the facial images of user A, user B, and user C in social group A.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic device can determine the object in the shooting preview interface based on the user's object selection input in the shooting preview interface, and identify the object information of the object.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, the object selection input can be a swipe input or a click input on the shooting preview interface. The electronic device can determine the object in the shooting preview interface based on the input trajectory of the swipe input or the position of the click input. For example, assuming that the shooting preview interface displays images of user A and user B captured by the camera, the user can manually select user A's image by swiping the input box on the shooting preview interface. The electronic device then identifies user A as the target object and obtains user A's facial information.

[0064] For example, in conjunction with the above example, the first information includes facial feature information obtained from the second electronic device and facial information in the local image of the first electronic device. The first electronic device can determine the privacy object in the first image file based on the facial feature information and the facial information in the local image, and perform privacy protection processing on the privacy object in the captured image file.

[0065] For example, in conjunction with the above example, the first information includes facial feature information obtained from the second electronic device, facial information in the local image of the first electronic device, facial images configured in the social groups joined by the user of the first electronic device, and facial information of the portrait selected by the user in the shooting preview interface. The first electronic device can jointly determine the privacy object in the first image file based on the aforementioned facial feature information, facial information in the local image, facial images configured in the social groups, and facial information of the portrait selected by the user, and perform privacy protection processing on the privacy object in the captured image file.

[0066] It should be noted that the combinations of the first information listed in the above embodiments are only some possible examples and do not constitute a limitation on this application. Other combinations not explicitly listed are still within the protection scope of this application.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the first electronic device can determine whether the first image file contains a privacy object based on the first information, and if the first image file contains a privacy object, perform privacy protection processing on the privacy object in the first image file.

[0068] In some examples, the electronic device can match the first information with a first image file. When the first image file contains an object that matches the first information, the object in the first image file is identified as a privacy object, and privacy processing is performed on the privacy object.

[0069] In some examples, the electronic device can match first information with a first image file. When the first image file contains an object that matches the first information, other objects in the first image file besides the object are identified as privacy objects, and privacy processing is performed on the privacy objects.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, the aforementioned privacy object may be a human image, an object, etc.

[0071] It should be noted that the privacy object can be a person who is prohibited from being photographed.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the first image file is an image, and the first electronic device can mask or remove the area containing privacy information in the image; or, the first image file is a video, and the first electronic device can mask or remove the area containing privacy information in the video. Further, the masking process can be mosaicking, blurring, or replacement of the privacy information, and the removal process can be removing the privacy information from the image using an image processing algorithm.

[0073] For example, when the first image file is an image containing a private portrait, the first electronic device can match the facial feature information obtained from the second electronic device with the facial information in the image, and when the image contains a private portrait that matches the facial feature information, the private portrait is mosaicked.

[0074] As another example, when the first image file is a video containing a private portrait, the first electronic device can match a pre-set face image with the face information in the video frame of the video, and when the video frame of the video contains a private portrait that matches the face image, the private portrait in the video frame is mosaicked.

[0075] For example, when the first image file is a video containing a private portrait, the first electronic device can perform mosaic processing on the portrait E in the video frame based on the information of the portrait E selected by the user in advance in the shooting preview interface.

[0076] The shooting method provided in this application embodiment involves a first electronic device receiving a first input from a user to a shooting preview interface displaying a preview image captured by a camera, controlling the camera to shoot, obtaining a first image file, and performing privacy protection processing on the first image file according to first information, outputting the processed first image file. The first information includes at least one of the following: object feature information obtained from a second electronic device, object information in an image stored locally on the first electronic device, and object information configured in a target group joined by the user on the first electronic device. Through this method, the first electronic device can automatically perform privacy protection processing on the first image file based on at least one of the object feature information from the second electronic device, object information obtained locally, object information in the target group, and object information of the user-selected object, simplifying the privacy protection process and thus improving the efficiency of privacy protection.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, after the first electronic device identifies that a privacy object is contained in the first image file based on object feature information from the second electronic device, and performs privacy protection processing on the privacy object in the first image file, it can send a first message to the second electronic device. The first message is used to prompt that the file captured by the first electronic device contains a privacy object, which has been pixelated.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, after receiving the first message, the second electronic device can display a prompt message based on the first message to notify the user that other electronic devices have taken photos of the privacy data.

[0079] For example, after receiving the first message, the second electronic device displays a prompt message on the screen: "The content captured by device 1 contains person E, and person E has been pixelated."

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, prior to step 201 above, the imaging method provided in this application further includes steps 204 and 205:

[0081] Step 204: The first electronic device displays the shooting preview interface.

[0082] Step 205: The first electronic device determines the privacy object in the shooting preview interface based on the first information, and displays the corresponding no-shooting sign for the privacy object in the shooting preview interface.

[0083] The aforementioned "No Photography" signs are used to indicate that subjects whose privacy is at risk should not be photographed.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, the first electronic device can match the first information that has been acquired or configured in advance with the real-time preview image in the shooting preview interface, identify the object in the preview image that matches the first information as a privacy object, and display a no-shooting sign in the corresponding area of ​​the privacy object.

[0085] In some embodiments of this application, the aforementioned no-photography sign can be any information that can identify an object, such as a pattern, symbol, or text.

[0086] It should be noted that the "No Photography" sign is used to identify the corresponding private objects, that is, to inform the user which objects in the current preview interface are not allowed to be photographed.

[0087] For example, the electronic device may display a red cross or circle on the privacy object, or the electronic device may display a semi-transparent or fully transparent overlay on the privacy object with the text or icon of "Do Not Photograph"; or the electronic device may display a border on the privacy object that the electronic device can highlight or flash to emphasize the privacy object and remind the privacy object that it is not allowed to be photographed.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, when the first electronic device identifies at least one privacy object in the shooting preview interface, it can display a prompt message in the shooting preview interface to indicate the number of privacy objects identified.

[0089] For example, if the first electronic device detects two prohibited subjects (i.e., private objects) in the shooting preview interface, it will display a message "Two prohibited subjects detected" in the shooting preview interface to remind the user of the number of prohibited subjects currently in the shooting range. In this way, by displaying the message "Two prohibited subjects detected" in the shooting preview interface, user A can clearly see how many prohibited subjects are currently in the shooting range. This helps the user quickly adjust the shooting angle or position to avoid these subjects, thereby improving shooting efficiency.

[0090] For example, in conjunction with the above examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, when user A wants a group photo of people B, C, and D, after the user opens the camera application of the first electronic device, the first electronic device displays a shooting preview interface 21. The shooting preview interface 21 includes people B, C, and D, as well as people E and F who have accidentally entered the shooting range. The first electronic device recognizes that person E matches the object feature information from another electronic device, and recognizes that person F is the object that the user selected in the shooting preview interface in advance. Then, the first electronic device displays a no-photography sign 22 and a no-photography sign 23 in the upper right corner of people E and F in the shooting preview interface 21, respectively, to remind that people E and F are not allowed to be photographed. In addition, the first electronic device displays the prompt message "2 prohibited subjects detected" in the shooting preview interface to remind user A that there are currently two prohibited subjects in the shooting range.

[0091] In a shooting scenario, when user A is taking a group photo, they may not want to capture people unrelated to the theme of the photo or those who should not be photographed (such as people E and F). The shooting method provided in this application automatically identifies and marks these prohibited objects in the form of "no-photography" icons on the shooting preview interface. This avoids the user discovering the problem only after taking the photo, thereby saving the user's time and effort and improving the shooting experience. In addition, this not only effectively reminds user A not to photograph these objects, but also prevents the leakage of personal privacy and enhances the privacy protection effect.

[0092] In some embodiments of this application, step 205 may include steps 205a and 205b:

[0093] Step 205a: The first electronic device performs image recognition on the preview image of the shooting preview interface to determine at least one object in the preview image.

[0094] Step 205b: The first electronic device identifies at least one object that matches the object feature information as a privacy object.

[0095] In some embodiments of this application, the first electronic device may use image processing algorithms or artificial intelligence technologies (such as deep learning, computer vision, etc.) to perform real-time analysis on the preview image in the shooting preview interface in order to identify various objects in the preview image. The objects may be people, animals, objects, buildings, etc.

[0096] For example, in conjunction with the above example, in a scenario where user A wants to take a group photo of people B, C, and D, the first electronic device displays a shooting preview interface 31 that includes these three people as well as people E and F who have accidentally entered the shooting range. At this time, the first electronic device performs image recognition on the preview image in the shooting preview interface, thereby identifying the five objects: people B, C, D, E, and F.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, the first electronic device can identify private objects in the shooting preview interface based on received object feature information (sensitive information such as facial features, iris features, ID card numbers, and names), or based on pre-set object information (facial images, iris images, object images, etc.), or based on object information of the object selected by the user in the shooting preview interface. Specifically, the first electronic device can match all identified objects with object feature information or object information, and mark the matched objects as private objects.

[0098] For example, in conjunction with the above example, the first electronic device has identified five objects in the preview image. Assuming that the feature information of person E matches the feature information of an object from another electronic device (for example, the facial features of person E match the facial feature information in a database), the first electronic device identifies person E as a privacy object.

[0099] To reiterate, in conjunction with the above example, the first electronic device has identified five objects in the preview image. Assuming that the feature information of person F matches pre-configured object information (e.g., the facial image of person E matches a pre-configured facial image), the first electronic device identifies person F as a privacy object.

[0100] For example, combining the above example, the first electronic device has identified five objects in the preview image. Assuming that the feature information of person F matches the image of a person selected by the user in the shooting preview interface, the first electronic device identifies person F as a privacy object.

[0101] In this embodiment, by automatically identifying and marking privacy-sensitive objects, users can be prevented from unintentionally photographing sensitive or inappropriate individuals, thereby reducing the risk of privacy leaks. Simultaneously, by intuitively displaying "No Photography" signs and prompts on the shooting preview interface, the user's awareness and control are enhanced, allowing them to more intuitively understand the current shooting status and thus improving the user experience during the shooting process.

[0102] In some embodiments of this application, step 205 may include steps 205c to 205e:

[0103] Step 205c: The first electronic device performs image recognition on the preview image of the shooting preview interface to determine at least one object in the preview image.

[0104] Step 205d: The first electronic device determines a target object that matches at least one of the at least one objects.

[0105] Step 205e: The first electronic device identifies at least one object other than the target object as a privacy object.

[0106] In some embodiments of this application, the first electronic device uses image recognition technology (such as deep learning models, computer vision algorithms, etc.) to analyze the real-time displayed shooting preview image and identify the individual objects contained in the image, such as people, animals, items or other identifiable entities.

[0107] In some embodiments of this application, the first electronic device can identify the target object that the user needs to pay attention to in the preview image of the shooting preview interface based on the first information. After determining the target object, the first electronic device can identify the remaining objects in the preview image (i.e., objects that have not been determined as target objects) as privacy objects.

[0108] For example, in conjunction with the above example, after the first electronic device determines at least one object in the preview image, it can identify the object among the at least one objects that matches the first information as a privacy object; or, it can identify the object among the at least one objects other than the target object as a privacy object, wherein the target object is the object that matches the first information.

[0109] It should be noted that the target object in the shooting preview interface is the object that the user needs to focus on. Other objects are private objects and are not allowed to be photographed or recorded at will.

[0110] For example, in conjunction with the above embodiments, suppose the first electronic device has identified five objects in the preview image: person A, person B, person C, person D, and person E. The electronic device matches these objects with pre-configured object information. Assuming that the facial features of person A, person B, and person C match the pre-configured face images, the first electronic device identifies person A, person B, and person C as target objects. Since person A, person B, and person C have been identified as target objects, the first electronic device considers the remaining objects, person D and person E, as privacy objects.

[0111] In this embodiment of the application, by matching the objects in the preview image with pre-configured information and determining which objects are privacy objects, the first electronic device can provide users with a higher level of privacy protection, thereby preventing users from unintentionally photographing people they do not want to be recorded, and thus reducing the risk of privacy leakage.

[0112] In some embodiments of this application, the first information mentioned above is object feature information obtained from the second electronic device; exemplarily, after step 205, the shooting method provided in the embodiments of this application may further include the following step 206:

[0113] Step 206: The first electronic device sends a second message to the second electronic device.

[0114] The second message is used to instruct the first electronic device to include a privacy object in its shooting preview interface that matches the object's feature information.

[0115] For example, in conjunction with the above example, the first electronic device (such as electronic device 1) has identified five objects in the preview image. Assuming that the feature information of person E matches the feature information of an object from another electronic device (such as electronic device 2) (for example, the facial features of person E match the facial feature information in a database), then electronic device 1 identifies person E as a privacy object, displays a prompt message on the shooting preview interface, such as "One prohibited shooting object detected", displays a no-shooting sign at the location of person E in the shooting preview interface, and sends a notification to electronic device 2 to remind the user of electronic device 2 that person E has entered the shooting range of electronic device 1.

[0116] In this embodiment, the first electronic device sends a notification to the second electronic device to remind the relevant user to pay attention to their privacy and security. This allows the user of the second electronic device or related persons to take immediate measures to protect their privacy, such as leaving the shooting range or alerting the photographer. Thus, clear prompts and notifications enhance users' awareness of privacy protection and improve their privacy security.

[0117] In some embodiments of this application, when the second electronic device receives a second message from the first electronic device, it displays a prompt message based on the second message. The prompt message is used to indicate that a private object that is not allowed to be photographed is within the shooting range of the first electronic device.

[0118] For example, in conjunction with the above Figure 2 When user A wants a group photo of people B, C, and D, after opening the camera application of the first electronic device, the first electronic device displays a shooting preview interface 21. This shooting preview interface 21 includes people B, C, and D, as well as people E and F who have accidentally entered the shooting range. The first electronic device recognizes that person E matches the object feature information from the second electronic device, and recognizes that person F is an object that the user selected in the shooting preview interface beforehand. Therefore, the first electronic device displays "No Photography" signs 22 and 23 in the upper right corner of people E and F in the shooting preview interface 21, respectively, to remind users that people E and F are not allowed to be photographed. In addition, the first electronic device displays the prompt message "Two prohibited photography objects detected" in the shooting preview interface to remind user A that two prohibited photography objects have entered the shooting range, and sends a notification message to the second electronic device to remind the user of the second electronic device that person E has entered the shooting range of the first electronic device. Figure 3 As shown, after receiving the notification message, the second electronic device displays notification message 31 on the screen: "Person E has entered the shooting range of device 1".

[0119] In this embodiment, the first electronic device sends a notification message to the second electronic device, which can then display the relevant notification on its screen, providing real-time feedback to the user. This allows the user of the second electronic device to be aware that they have entered the shooting range and take necessary privacy protection measures. This instant notification mechanism enables cross-device privacy protection between the first and second electronic devices, improving interoperability and privacy efficiency between electronic devices.

[0120] In some embodiments of this application, if the second electronic device identifies a private object in the shooting preview interface based on object feature information from the second electronic device, it can send a request message to the second electronic device to request that the private object be photographed.

[0121] In some embodiments of this application, after receiving the request message, the second electronic device displays a prompt message to remind the user that other electronic devices need to take pictures of the privacy object.

[0122] Furthermore, after receiving the user's touch input of the prompt information, the second electronic device displays a prompt window, which includes an image of the privacy object, a first option, and a second option. The first option indicates consent to filming, and the second option indicates dis consent to filming.

[0123] For example, in conjunction with the above Figure 2 If the first electronic device detects that the person E in the shooting preview interface matches the object feature information from the second electronic device, it sends a notification message to the second electronic device to request that person E be photographed. Figure 4A As shown, after receiving the notification message, the second electronic device displays notification message 41 on the screen: "Device 1 is taking pictures of person E. Do you agree?". Then, after the user clicks on notification message 41, as shown... Figure 4B As shown, the second electronic device displays a prompt window 42, which includes the prompt message "Device 1 is taking pictures of person E, do you agree?", image E1 of person E, "agree" option, and "disagree" option. After the user clicks the "agree" option, the second electronic device sends a response message to the first electronic device. This response message indicates that the user agrees to take pictures of person E. After receiving the response message, the first electronic device updates the color of the "Do Not Photograph" sign for person E in the shooting preview interface from red to green, and does not perform any privacy protection processing on person E in the first image file after the shooting.

[0124] In this embodiment of the application, when the first electronic device recognizes the privacy object of the second electronic device in the shooting preview interface, it sends a notification message to the second electronic device. The second electronic device then displays a prompt window on its screen and seeks the user's consent, thereby improving the flexibility of privacy protection.

[0125] In some embodiments of this application, step 203 can be implemented by steps 203a and 203b.

[0126] Step 203a: The first electronic device determines the privacy object in the first image file based on the first information.

[0127] Step 203b: The first electronic device performs privacy protection processing on the image area where the privacy object is located in the first image file, and outputs the second image file.

[0128] In some embodiments of this application, the first electronic device can match first information with objects in an image or video to identify and determine privacy objects in the image or video.

[0129] In some embodiments of this application, after identifying a privacy object, the first electronic device can perform privacy protection processing on the image area where the privacy object is located. Exemplarily, the aforementioned privacy protection processing includes, but is not limited to, blurring, pixelation, occlusion, background replacement, or complete deletion of the privacy object.

[0130] It should be noted that the processed images or videos no longer contain identifiable privacy information, thus protecting the privacy of the individuals involved.

[0131] In some embodiments of this application, prior to step 203 above, the imaging method provided in this application may further include step A1 or step A2:

[0132] Step A1: When the first electronic device establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device, it receives object feature information from the second electronic device through the communication connection.

[0133] Step A2: The first electronic device acquires at least one object information configured in the target group.

[0134] The target group mentioned above includes at least one group member, and one group member corresponds to one or more object information.

[0135] In some embodiments of this application, the communication connection described above may be a Bluetooth connection or a WIFI connection, etc.

[0136] In some embodiments of this application, a first electronic device establishes a communication connection with a second electronic device. Once the communication connection is established, the first electronic device can receive object feature information from the second electronic device through the connection.

[0137] For example, when the first electronic device starts taking pictures, it will actively scan all electronic devices (such as the second electronic device) that support the anti-spy camera function within a certain range, and establish a connection with the nearby anti-spy camera electronic devices through wireless communication technology (such as Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.). The second electronic device will actively push the object feature information configured by the user on the device to prevent being photographed to the first electronic device.

[0138] In some possible implementations, the second electronic device can identify objects that need to be prevented from being photographed and send the object's characteristic information to the first electronic device. Furthermore, the first electronic device can determine the objects corresponding to this characteristic information as privacy objects that do not need to be photographed.

[0139] For example, the user of the second electronic device can select the object that needs to be prevented from being photographed, with the following two paths:

[0140] Method 1: Select from automatically categorized photos of people, ID cards, license plates, etc. in the album and enable anti-spy photography.

[0141] For example, such as Figure 5A As shown, the album interface 51 of the first electronic device includes at least one thumbnail image of a person in the "People" category. The user can click on the thumbnail image of a person that is not allowed to be photographed by others. After the user selects thumbnail image d, thumbnail image f, thumbnail image h, and thumbnail image i, the first electronic device can identify the person corresponding to thumbnail image d, thumbnail image f, thumbnail image h, and thumbnail image i as a private object that is not allowed to be photographed, and display a no-photography sign 52 in the upper right corner of each selected thumbnail image. Then, when it detects that there are electronic devices (such as the first electronic device) in the vicinity that are taking pictures, it sends the object feature information of these objects to the first electronic device.

[0142] Furthermore, the album interface 51 also includes options such as "People", "License Plate" and "Custom", allowing users to select the corresponding type option to trigger the display of thumbnail images of the corresponding type of object, or to select the "Custom" option to customize other object types.

[0143] For example, combining the above 5A, after the user clicks the "License Plate" option, as follows: Figure 5BAs shown, the second electronic device displays a thumbnail image 53 and a thumbnail image 54 of the license plate in the album interface 51. The user can select a thumbnail image of a license plate that is not allowed to be photographed by others. The electronic device identifies the license plate selected by the user as a private object and displays a "No Photography" sign 55 in the upper right corner of the thumbnail image of the license plate.

[0144] Method 2: Use the camera to frame the shot and select the subject in the shooting preview interface.

[0145] For example, after the second electronic device opens the camera application, it captures an image of an object that is not allowed to be photographed through the camera and identifies the object as a privacy object, or after receiving a user's click or selection operation on the object, it identifies the object as a privacy object.

[0146] In this embodiment of the application, by receiving object feature information from the second electronic device, the first electronic device can more accurately identify privacy objects in images or videos, thereby automatically occluding, blurring or otherwise protecting privacy objects during the shooting process, thus effectively preventing privacy leakage.

[0147] In other possible implementations, the first electronic device can acquire object information configured in one or more target groups. Furthermore, the first electronic device can identify the objects corresponding to this object information as the objects to be photographed, while identifying objects in the shooting preview interface that differ from these objects as privacy objects that do not need to be photographed.

[0148] In some embodiments of this application, the shooting preview interface of the first electronic device may further include at least one group identifier. After the user clicks on the target group identifier, the first electronic device obtains the object information configured in the target group indicated by the target group identifier, and determines the target object corresponding to the object information as the object to be photographed, while other objects besides the target object are determined as privacy objects that do not need to be photographed. Further, the first electronic device can obtain the shooting parameters corresponding to the above-mentioned object information from the target group, and take a picture of the object corresponding to the object information according to the shooting parameters.

[0149] It should be noted that the target group can represent a specific social circle, family, work team, etc., containing at least one group member. Each group member corresponds to one or more object information, which may include name, age, gender, facial features, photo, etc., used to identify specific members within the group. For example, a family group may be configured with a list of family members who do not wish to be photographed, along with their characteristic information. When device 1 is taking pictures, device 1 can identify and mark objects that should not be photographed based on this configured object information.

[0150] For example, this implementation may include the following steps:

[0151] Step 11: The first electronic device creates a shooting group (such as a target group) in the camera application, and relevant users join the group.

[0152] For example, relevant users can join a group by scanning their face, such as... Figure 6A As shown, when the first electronic device displays the camera application's shooting preview interface 61, the user (group owner) of the first electronic device clicks the "+" button in the camera to create a group and takes a photo of their face, as shown. Figure 6B As shown, the first electronic device displays a face photo 62 and a "Start a group" option in the shooting preview interface 61. After the first electronic device receives the user's click on the "Start a group" option, other nearby electronic devices will receive the signal to create a group. At this time, users of other nearby electronic devices can open their cameras to take a picture of the group owner's face and then click on the "Join Group" button that appears above the group owner's face image.

[0153] Step 12: The first electronic device can configure at least one object information in the shooting group.

[0154] For example, after each member joins the shooting group, they can upload one or more portraits they want to be photographed on the portrait configuration interface, such as... Figure 6C As shown, the portrait configuration interface 63 includes portraits a1 and a2 (i.e., object information) uploaded by members that they want to be photographed.

[0155] Furthermore, members can set image parameters for uploaded portraits according to their shooting needs, such as beauty filters, stickers, etc., and configure shooting parameters for the corresponding objects, thereby shooting the corresponding objects according to the corresponding shooting parameters, such as... Figure 6D As shown, in the parameter settings interface 64, there are "Beauty" options, "Filter" options, and "Sticker" options. Members can use these options to set the shooting parameters of the uploaded portrait when taking the picture according to their own needs.

[0156] Step 13: When the first electronic device is taking pictures, such as... Figure 6A As shown, after the user clicks the "Select Shooting Group" option in the shooting preview interface, the first electronic device displays at least one group identifier. After the user clicks on the target group identifier, the electronic device can automatically focus on the object (such as a portrait) corresponding to the object information configured in the user-selected group when shooting, and automatically remove or blur out non-group users, as well as shoot and automatically beautify the corresponding portrait according to the configured shooting parameters.

[0157] In this embodiment of the application, the first electronic device can obtain the object information configured in the target group, so that the user can flexibly configure different privacy protection strategies for different groups according to their own needs, thereby improving the flexibility of privacy protection.
