Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of terminals, and in particular, to a method for displaying a camera application interface and related devices. Background Art

[0002] A camera may be configured in an electronic device, and a user may use a camera application in the electronic device to take pictures in multiple camera modes. For example, the camera modes may be a photo-taking mode, a video-recording mode, a movie mode, a portrait mode, etc.

[0003] In a possible implementation, when the electronic device is in any camera mode, multiple functions may be provided. For example, in the photo-taking mode, the electronic device may provide functions such as a flash, a high-dynamic range image (HDR), an AI camera, and a live photo; in the video-recording mode, the electronic device may provide functions such as a flash, HDR, filters, resolution, and frame rate.

[0004] However, when using these function buttons, there may be some problems. For example, it is not suitable for single-handed operation. Among possible implementations, the function buttons are often arranged on one side close to the front camera, making it inconvenient for the user to operate these function buttons when holding the electronic device with one hand; thus affecting the user's shooting experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Embodiments of this application provide a method for displaying a camera application interface and related devices, which are applied to the technical field of terminals, and provide a photo-taking method that is convenient for single-handed operation. The electronic device can call out a menu area for displaying photo-taking function buttons in the middle lower part of the camera application interface, so as to facilitate the user to select function buttons with one hand.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying a camera application interface, which is applied to an electronic device. The method includes: the electronic device displays a first interface; wherein, the camera mode of the electronic device is a first mode, the first interface includes a first area, a second area, and a third area, the first area includes a first mode button and buttons for multiple camera modes; the second area includes multiple first-type buttons corresponding to the first mode; the third area includes multiple second-type buttons corresponding to the first mode; the first-type buttons and the second-type buttons are different; the first area and the second area are adjacent, and the first area is not adjacent to the third area; the electronic device receives a first operation; in response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a second interface; wherein, the camera mode of the electronic device is the first mode, the second interface includes a first area, a third area, and a fourth area; the first area includes a first mode button and buttons for multiple camera modes; the third area includes multiple second-type buttons corresponding to the first mode; the fourth area includes multiple second-type buttons corresponding to the first mode; the position of the fourth area on the display screen of the electronic device and the position of the second area on the display screen of the electronic device at least partially overlap; the first area is adjacent to the fourth area. In this way, the three-level menu area is adjacent to the one-level menu area, so the three-level menu area is also located in the middle and lower part of the camera application interface. Users can conveniently use the function buttons in the three-level menu area with one hand, and can achieve a convenient operation experience of calling out the sub-high-frequency buttons with one hand. Moreover, the positions of the three-level menu area and the two-level menu area are roughly the same, which does not occupy additional screen display controls and does not increase the control display area; at the same time, the top menu area retains the sub-high-frequency buttons, and users can use the top menu area or the three-level menu area to turn on the sub-high-frequency buttons according to their preferences and habits, enriching the application scenarios of the function buttons and improving the user experience.

[0007] In a possible implementation manner, in the second interface, some or all of the second-type buttons in the third area are the same as the second-type buttons in the fourth area; it further includes: in the second interface, the electronic device scrolls and displays all the second-type buttons in the first mode based on a sliding operation in the fourth area. In this way, the three-level menu area can include all the function buttons in the top menu area. When operating with one hand, users do not need to click in the top menu area anymore, but can find the corresponding buttons in the top menu area in the three-level menu area and perform one-handed operations; at the same time, when the function buttons that the user wants to use are not included in the top menu area, the user does not need to search through the setting buttons in the top menu area, but can conveniently find the button in the three-level menu area, thus simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience.

[0008] In a possible implementation, in the second interface, the second type of buttons in the fourth region are arranged based on priority. Among the second type of buttons, the priority of the first sub-button is higher than that of the second sub-button, and the priority of the second sub-button is higher than that of the third sub-button. The first sub-button is a second type of button corresponding to the first mode and not corresponding to other camera modes. The second sub-button is a second type of button with a usage frequency greater than the threshold. The third sub-button is a second type of button with a usage frequency less than or equal to the threshold. The third region includes some of the second sub-buttons and the third sub-buttons. In this way, the electronic device can preferentially provide the user with the specific functions and common functions in the current mode. The buttons of the specific functions and common functions have a relatively high usage probability, which can reduce the operation of the user to slide left and right to switch the function buttons in the three-level menu area, and improve the user experience.

[0009] In a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the second interface, it includes: in the second interface, the electronic device receives a second operation on the second type of buttons in the fourth region; in response to the second operation, the electronic device displays the third interface. Among them, the camera mode of the electronic device is the first mode, and the third interface includes a first region, a third region, and a fifth region. The fifth region includes a plurality of third type of buttons, and the plurality of third type of buttons correspond to the second type of buttons under different specifications. The position of the fifth region on the display screen of the electronic device and the position of the fourth region on the display screen of the electronic device at least partially overlap, and the first region is adjacent to the fifth region. In this way, the position of the four-level menu area is roughly the same as that of the three-level menu area, and the four-level menu area is also located in the middle and lower part of the camera application interface. The user can conveniently select different specifications of function buttons in the four-level menu with one hand operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0010] In a possible implementation, it further includes: the electronic device displays the fourth interface. Among them, the camera mode of the electronic device is the second mode, and the fourth interface includes a third region and a fifth region. The third region includes a first button, the fifth region includes a second button and a third button. The first button is in the off state, the second button is in the on state, and the third button is in the off state. The electronic device receives an operation on the first button. In response to the operation on the first button, the electronic device displays the fifth interface. Among them, the camera mode of the electronic device is the second mode, the fifth interface includes a third region and a fifth region, the first button is in the on state, the third button is in the on state, and the second button is in the unavailable state. In this way, the priority of the night scene enhancement button is higher than that of the resolution button. When the functions and / or specifications of the two function buttons are mutually exclusive, the electronic device can preferentially turn on the function button with a higher priority and gray out the function button with a lower priority. By graying out to inform the user that the button is unavailable, the scenario of user's incorrect operation can be reduced.

[0011] In a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the fifth interface, it includes: in the fifth interface, the electronic device receives an operation on the second button; in response to the operation on the second button, the electronic device displays a first prompt message in the fifth interface; the first prompt message is used to prompt that when the function of the first button is enabled, the function of the second button is unavailable. In this way, when the user clicks the grayed-out button, the electronic device can prompt the user that the button is unavailable and the reason for the unavailability through the first prompt message.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the priority of the first button is higher than that of the second button. In this way, when the functions and / or specifications of the two function buttons are mutually exclusive, the electronic device can preferentially enable the function button with a higher priority and gray out the function button with a lower priority; by graying out to inform the user that the button is unavailable, the scenario of user's incorrect operation can be reduced.

[0013] In a possible implementation, it further includes: the electronic device displays the sixth interface; wherein, the camera mode of the electronic device is the third mode, the sixth interface includes a fourth button, and the fourth button is in an enabled state; the electronic device receives a third operation; in response to the third operation, the electronic device displays the seventh interface; wherein, the camera mode of the electronic device is the third mode, the seventh interface includes a fourth area; the fourth area includes a fifth button, and the fifth button is in a closed state; the electronic device receives an operation on the fifth button; in response to the operation on the fifth button, the electronic device displays the fifth button in an enabled state in the seventh interface; the electronic device receives a fourth operation; in response to the fourth operation, the electronic device returns to the sixth interface; wherein, in the sixth interface, the fourth button is in a closed state. In this way, when two function buttons are naturally mutually exclusive, the electronic device can automatically close or keep closed the other function button when enabling one function button; when enabling the other function button, automatically close or keep closed the function button; thereby reducing the impact on the power consumption, computing power, etc. of the electronic device when mutually exclusive functions are enabled simultaneously.

[0014] In a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the sixth interface, it further includes: in the sixth interface, the electronic device receives a fifth operation; in response to the fifth operation, the electronic device displays the eighth interface; wherein, the seventh interface includes a fourth area; the fourth area includes a sixth button; the sixth button is in an unavailable state. In this way, in some scenarios, the electronic device can also set priorities for two mutually exclusive function buttons. When the function button with a higher priority is enabled, the function button with a lower priority is grayed out; by graying out to inform the user that the button is unavailable, the scenario of user's incorrect operation can be reduced.

[0015] In a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the eighth interface, it includes: the electronic device receives an operation on the sixth button; in response to the operation on the sixth button, the electronic device displays a second prompt message in the eighth interface; the second prompt message is used to prompt that when the function of the fourth button is enabled, the function of the sixth button is unavailable. In this way, when the user clicks the grayed-out button, the electronic device can prompt the user that the button is unavailable and the reason for the unavailability through the second prompt message.

[0016] In a possible implementation, it further includes: the electronic device displays the ninth interface; wherein, the electronic device is in the second mode under the rear camera, the ninth interface includes a third area, a fourth area, and a seventh button, both the third area and the fourth area include an eighth button, and the seventh button is used to switch between the front camera and the rear camera; the electronic device receives an operation on the seventh button; in response to the operation on the seventh button, the electronic device displays the tenth interface; wherein, the electronic device is in the second mode under the front camera, and the tenth interface includes a third area and a fourth area, and the eighth button is not included in either the third area or the fourth area. In this way, when the front / rear camera does not support a certain function, the electronic device does not display the function button in the corresponding scenario, improving the simplicity of the interface and reducing user error operations.

[0017] In a possible implementation, it further includes: the electronic device displays the eleventh interface; wherein, the camera mode of the electronic device is the fourth mode, the eleventh interface includes a third area and a fourth area, the third area includes a ninth button, and the fourth area does not include the ninth button; the electronic device receives an operation on the ninth button; in response to the operation on the ninth button, the electronic device displays a third prompt message in the eleventh interface; the third prompt message is used to prompt that in the fourth mode, the electronic device only supports the specification shown by the ninth button. In this way, when the electronic device is in a certain mode and the function button only supports one specification, the electronic device can display the current specification in the top menu area, but does not display it in the three-level menu area, and the specification in the top menu area cannot be changed; thus reducing user error operations and prompting the user through the third prompt message.

[0018] In a possible implementation, it further includes: the electronic device displays a twelfth interface; wherein, the twelfth interface includes a plurality of setting buttons; the setting buttons are corresponding to first description information; the first description information is used to describe the available scenarios of the setting buttons and the functions of the setting buttons. In this way, the user can understand the available scenarios and functions of the setting buttons based on the first description information; in addition, the user can turn on the setting buttons in most scenarios, and there is no need for the user to turn on the setting buttons under specified conditions. For example, the multi-recording button is applied to rear video recording and movie mode. When not in this scenario, the electronic device can also turn on and off the multi-recording button, thereby reducing the grayed-out scenarios when it is unavailable, improving the aesthetics of the camera application interface and increasing the usage rate of the setting buttons.

[0019] In a possible implementation, it further includes: when the function of the tenth button of the electronic device is turned on, the electronic device displays a thirteenth interface; wherein, the thirteenth interface includes a first setting button, and the first setting button is in an unavailable state; the first setting button is corresponding to second description information; the second description information is used to describe that when the tenth button is turned on, the first setting button is unavailable. In this way, when a certain function is mutually exclusive with the function of the setting button, the electronic device can gray out the setting button and inform the reason for graying out, reducing the user's incorrect operations.

[0020] In a possible implementation, it further includes: when the electronic device is not in the fifth mode, the electronic device displays a fourteenth interface; wherein, the fourteenth interface includes a second setting button, and the second setting button is in an available state; when the electronic device is in the fifth mode, the electronic device displays a fifteenth interface; wherein, the fifteenth interface includes a second setting button, and the second setting button is in an unavailable state; the second setting button is corresponding to third description information; the third description information is used to describe that in the current mode, the second setting button is unavailable. In this way, when the current mode is mutually exclusive with the function of the setting button, the electronic device can gray out the setting button and inform the user of the reason for graying out the button, thereby reducing the user's incorrect operations.

[0021] In a possible implementation, it further includes: when the electronic device is in the rear camera mode, the electronic device displays a sixteenth interface; the sixteenth interface includes a third setting button; when the electronic device is in the front camera mode, the electronic device displays a seventeenth interface; the seventeenth interface does not include the third setting button. In this way, when the front / rear camera does not support a certain function, the electronic device does not display the setting button for this function in the corresponding scenario, improving the simplicity of the interface and reducing the user's incorrect operations.

[0022] In a possible implementation, in the second interface, the third area and the fourth area both include the tenth button and the eleventh button, the tenth button in the third area has the same switch state as the tenth button in the fourth area; the eleventh button in the third area has the same specification as the eleventh button in the fourth area. In this way, in the camera application interface, the top menu area and the third-level menu area can change in a linked manner, improving the accuracy of the function buttons in the top menu area and the third-level menu area.

[0023] In a possible implementation, it also includes: the electronic device displays an eighteenth interface; wherein the eighteenth interface includes a third area and a second area; the third area includes a twelfth button; the electronic device receives an operation on the twelfth button; in response to the operation on the twelfth button, the electronic device displays a nineteenth interface; wherein the nineteenth interface includes a third area and a fifth area; the fifth area includes a plurality of thirteenth buttons, the thirteenth button corresponds to a plurality of twelfth buttons of different specifications, and the thirteenth button corresponds to image information. In this way, when an operation on a sliding panel button is received in the top menu area, the electronic device can display different specifications of the button in the fourth-level menu area, thereby improving the linkage between the top menu area and the fourth-level menu area.

[0024] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes a method for displaying a camera application interface, which is applied to a foldable electronic device, comprising: the electronic device displays a first interface; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is the first mode, the first interface includes a first area, a second area and a third area, the first area includes a first mode button and multiple camera mode buttons; the second area includes multiple first-category buttons corresponding to the first mode; the third area includes multiple second-category buttons corresponding to the first mode; the first-category buttons and the second-category buttons are different; the electronic device receives a first operation; in response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a second interface; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is the first mode, the second interface includes a first area and a fourth area; the first area includes a first mode button and multiple camera mode buttons; the fourth area includes multiple second-category buttons corresponding to the first mode; the position of the fourth area on the display screen of the electronic device at least partially overlaps with the position of the second area on the display screen of the electronic device; the position of the fourth area on the display screen of the electronic device at least partially overlaps with the position of the third area on the display screen of the electronic device. In this way, the embodiment of the present application provides a display method for the camera application interface of a foldable electronic device, enriching the camera application scenarios; the third-level menu area can display all the secondary high-frequency buttons, and the user no longer needs to search for the secondary high-frequency buttons based on the setting buttons in the secondary menu area, thereby simplifying user operations; at the same time, the function buttons in the third-level menu area have corresponding button names, which improves the readability of the functions and enhances the user's photo-taking experience.

[0025] In a possible implementation, it further includes: in the second interface, the electronic device scrolls and displays all the second type of buttons in the first mode based on a sliding operation in the fourth area. In this way, the three-level menu area can include all the function buttons in the top menu area. When the user operates with one hand, there is no need to click in the top menu area anymore. Instead, the user can find the corresponding button in the top menu area in the three-level menu area and perform one-handed operations. At the same time, when the function button that the user wants to use is not included in the top menu area, the user does not need to search through the settings button in the top menu area. Instead, the user can conveniently find the button in the three-level menu area, thereby simplifying the user operation and enhancing the user experience.

[0026] In a possible implementation, in the second interface, the second type of buttons in the fourth area are arranged based on priorities. Among them, in the second type of buttons, the priority of the first sub-button is higher than that of the second sub-button, and the priority of the second sub-button is higher than that of the third sub-button. The first sub-button is the second type of button corresponding to the first mode and not corresponding to other camera modes. The second sub-button is the second type of button with a usage frequency greater than the threshold. The third sub-button is the second type of button with a usage frequency less than or equal to the threshold. In this way, the electronic device can preferentially provide the user with the specific functions and common functions in the current mode. The usage probability of the buttons for specific functions and common functions is relatively high, which can reduce the operation of the user to slide left and right to switch the function buttons in the three-level menu area and enhance the user experience.

[0027] In a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the second interface, it includes: in the second interface, the electronic device receives a second operation on the second type of button in the fourth area.

The fifth area includes multiple third type of buttons, and the multiple third type of buttons correspond to the second type of buttons under different specifications. The position of the fifth area on the display screen of the electronic device and the position of the fourth area on the display screen of the electronic device at least partially overlap. In this way, the user can conveniently select different specifications of function buttons in the four-level menu, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0066] For the convenience of clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific manner.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone, where A and B may be singular or plural. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after. "At least one (item)" or its similar expression below refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single item (item) or plural items (items). For example, at least one (item) of a, b, or c may represent: a, b, c, a - b, a - c, b - c, or a - b - c, where a, b, and c may be single or multiple.

[0068] It should be noted that "when... " in the embodiments of the present application may be at the instant when a certain situation occurs, or may be within a period of time after a certain situation occurs. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this. In addition, the display interface provided by the embodiments of the present application is only an example, and the display interface may further include more or less content.

[0069] Figure 1 Interface schematic diagram of the camera application interface in a possible implementation. As Figure 1 shown:

[0070] In the camera application interface, the area for displaying content can generally be divided into a shutter area, a menu area, and a viewfinder area. For example, Figure 1 Taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, the display area in the camera application interface of the electronic device from bottom to top includes: a shutter area, a bottom menu area, a viewfinder area, and a top menu area in sequence.

[0071] Among them, the buttons arranged in the shutter area from left to right include: a shortcut button for the gallery (photo album) application, a shutter button, and a lens conversion button.

[0072] The bottom menu area provides multiple camera mode buttons and corresponding function buttons in that camera mode. The camera modes may include: aperture (which may also be referred to as large aperture), night scene, portrait, photo shooting, video recording, movie, professional, more, etc. Taking the photo shooting mode as an example, the function buttons corresponding to the photo shooting mode in the bottom menu area may be a sports mode button 101 and a zoom button 102, etc. In the bottom menu area, the function buttons corresponding to the photo shooting mode may be arranged above the camera mode buttons.

[0073] The viewfinder area can be used to display the image captured by the camera in real time.

[0074] The top menu area may be provided with multiple commonly used function buttons in that camera mode. For example, from left to right, the top menu area successively displays a flash button 103, a live photo button 104, an AI photography button 105, an HDR button 106, a filter button 107, and a settings button 108. The electronic device can respond to operations on the function buttons to implement corresponding shooting functions.

[0075] From possible implementations, it can be seen from the camera application interface that when the user takes a photo with one hand, it is difficult for the user's thumb to reach the function buttons in the top menu area, which will increase the operation difficulty when the user operates with one hand and reduce the user experience.

[0076] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying a camera application interface. When the electronic device is in the first mode, the same buttons as those in the top menu area can be displayed in the bottom menu area; for example, the second type of buttons, and the user can conveniently trigger the second type of buttons by operating with one hand in the bottom menu area; further, to improve the simplicity of the interface, the electronic device can conveniently call out or retract the second type of buttons from the bottom menu area through a call-out button or a retract button; for example, when the second type of buttons are not called out in the bottom menu area, the electronic device displays the first type of buttons, and the first type of buttons are, for example Figure 1 the sports mode button 101 and the zoom button 102 in ; when the second type of buttons are called out in the bottom menu area, the electronic device does not display the first type of buttons. In this way, it can not only solve the inconvenience problem when the user operates with one hand, but also does not affect the simplicity and beauty of the camera application interface, and improves the user experience.

[0077] To facilitate the description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following will first combine Figure 2 to describe in detail each display area in the camera application interface of the embodiments of the present application, as well as the buttons supported to be displayed in each display area.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, the bottom menu area may include a camera mode button and a function button. For easy distinction, the area in the bottom menu area for displaying the camera mode button may be defined as a primary menu area, and the area for displaying the function button may be defined as a secondary menu area. Figure 2 The interface shown in a in FIG. 1 includes: an aperture button, a night view button, a portrait button, a photo button, a video button, a movie button and a professional button. The secondary menu area includes: a sports mode button 201 and a zoom button 202.

[0079] It is understandable that due to the limited specifications of the camera application interface, not all camera modes may be displayed. The primary menu area may also include more modes, etc. The electronic device may display more modes based on left / right sliding operations in the primary menu area.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the top menu area may include multiple function buttons, for example, Figure 2 The interface shown in a in the figure includes flash button, dynamic photo button, AI photography button, HDR button, filter button and setting button.

[0081] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, in any camera mode, the function buttons can be divided into high-frequency buttons and sub-high-frequency buttons according to the frequency of use. The high-frequency buttons can be, for example, the function buttons in the secondary menu area, and the sub-high-frequency buttons can be, for example, the function buttons in the top menu area. Figure 2 In the interface shown in a, in the photo mode, the high-frequency buttons may be a motion mode button 201 and a zoom button 202; the second-highest-frequency buttons may be a flash button 203, a dynamic photo button 204, an AI photography button 205, an HDR button 206, a filter button 207 and a setting button 208.

[0082] Among them, the top menu area only shows some of the sub-high frequency buttons. When the user wants to use the function buttons not shown in the top menu area, the electronic device can display more sub-high frequency buttons based on the operation on the setting button 208.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, another method for displaying the sub-high frequency buttons in the camera mode is provided. Figure 2 In the interface shown in a of FIG. 1 , the first-level menu area also displays an outgoing button 209, which can be used to call out the third-level menu area. The third-level menu area is used to display some or all of the second-highest frequency buttons, and the third-level menu area can also be called a "shallow level function area". For example, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the outgoing button 209, the electronic device can display the following Figure 2 The interface shown in b.

[0084] Figure 2In the interface shown in b, the bottom menu area may include a primary menu area and a tertiary menu area; among them, the primary menu area includes multiple camera mode buttons, for example, an aperture button, a night scene button, a portrait button, a photo-taking button, a video-recording button, a movie button, and a professional button. The tertiary menu area includes multiple function buttons corresponding to the current camera mode. For example, in the photo-taking mode, the tertiary menu area may include a subject focus button 210, a ratio button 211 (which can also be called a frame button), an exposure button 212, a flash button 213, and a live photo 214, etc.

[0085] Among them, it can be seen that the tertiary menu area and the secondary menu area can partially overlap, and when the electronic device displays the tertiary menu area, the function buttons in the secondary menu area are no longer displayed. For example, Figure 2 the sports mode button and the zoom button are not displayed in the interface shown in b.

[0086] It should be noted that due to the limited specifications of the camera application interface, it may not be possible to display all the function buttons in the tertiary menu area at the same time. The tertiary menu area may also include more function buttons, etc. The electronic device can display more function buttons based on left / right sliding operations in the tertiary menu area. For example, in Figure 2 the interface shown in b, when the electronic device receives a leftward sliding trigger operation in the tertiary menu area, the electronic device can display an interface as shown in Figure 2 c. Another example is that in Figure 2 the interface shown in c, when the electronic device receives a rightward sliding trigger operation in the tertiary menu area, the electronic device can display an interface as shown in Figure 2 b.

[0087] In Figure 2 the interface shown in c, the tertiary menu area also displays an HDR button 215, a filter button 216, a watermark button 217, a timer button 218, and a settings button 219.

[0088] In a possible implementation manner, the tertiary menu area may include all the sub-high-frequency buttons corresponding to the current camera mode. For example, in the photo-taking mode, the sub-high-frequency buttons that can be displayed in the tertiary menu area include a subject focus button, a ratio button, an exposure button, a flash button, a live photo button, an AI photography button, an HDR button, a filter button, a watermark button, a timer button, and a settings button, etc. Among them, only some of the above sub-high-frequency buttons are shown in the top menu area, for example, a flash button, a live photo button, an AI photography button, an HDR button, a filter button, and a settings button.

[0089] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can call out the tertiary menu area by operating the call-out button 209. The electronic device can also call out the tertiary menu area by other methods. For example, inFigure 2 In the interface shown in a of Figure 2 , the electronic device receives a swiping-up operation in the scenic area-taking area; in response to the swiping-up operation, the electronic device can display an interface shown in b of

[0090] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the name of the function button in the three-level menu area can be marked below the icon of the function button. The user can understand the function supported by the function button through the name of the function button, reducing the scenario where the user searches for the target function button among numerous function buttons without understanding the icon of the function button; simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience.

[0091] It can be understood that, for the convenience of distinguishing the function buttons in the secondary menu area, the three-level menu area, and the top menu area, the functions in the secondary menu area are defined as high-frequency buttons, and the function buttons in the three-level menu area and / or the top menu area are defined as sub-high-frequency buttons. However, in actual applications, the usage times of high-frequency buttons may also be lower than those of sub-high-frequency buttons, and the present application does not limit this.

[0092] From Figure 2 the interface shown in b of Figure 2 and the interface shown in c of Figure 3 , it can be seen that the three-level menu area can be a sliding display area, and the user can view all the function buttons in the three-level menu through the operation of swiping left and right. Taking the camera mode as an example, the layout rules of the function buttons in the three-level menu area in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in combination with

[0093] As Figure 3 shown, the electronic device displays a camera application interface, which includes a three-level menu area, and some function buttons are displayed in the three-level menu area. Correspondingly, the function buttons in the three-level menu area can be, for example, a main subject focus button, a ratio button, an exposure button, a flash button, a dynamic photo button, an AI photography button, an HDR button, a filter button, a watermark button, a timer button, and a settings button, etc.

[0094] In a possible implementation, the electronic device may preferentially display the buttons for the specific functions in the camera function, for example, the subject focus button; among them, the buttons for the specific functions can be understood as: the function buttons that can be used in the camera mode and cannot be used in modes other than the camera mode. The electronic device may secondarily preferentially display the buttons for the common functions in the camera mode, for example, the ratio button, the exposure button, the flash button, the live photo button, the AI photography button, the HDR button, the filter button; among them, these function buttons can be general buttons applicable to multiple camera modes, for example, the ratio button can be applicable to multiple modes such as the camera mode and the video recording mode. The electronic device may finally display the buttons for the less common functions, for example: the watermark button, the timer button, and the settings button.

[0095] Among them, the common buttons can be general buttons with a relatively high usage frequency obtained through big data statistics, and the less common buttons can be general buttons with a usage frequency lower than that of the common buttons obtained through big data statistics. Or, the common buttons can be general buttons with a relatively high usage frequency obtained according to the user's usage habits, and the less common buttons can be general buttons with a usage frequency lower than that of the common buttons obtained according to the user's usage habits. In the embodiments of the present application, the order of the function buttons in the three-level menu area can be fixed or variable, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. In addition, the embodiments of the present application only use the camera mode as an example to exemplarily illustrate the layout rules of the function buttons in the three-level menu area, and this example does not limit the order of the function buttons.

[0096] The above embodiments use the camera mode as an example to illustrate the primary menu area, the secondary menu area, and the three-level menu area in the embodiments of the present application. Next, a brief description will be given of the sub-high-frequency buttons in the top menu area and the three-level menu area corresponding to each camera mode, as well as the high-frequency buttons in the secondary menu area.

[0097] Exemplarily, in the aperture mode, the secondary menu area includes an aperture button, the three-level menu area includes a frame size button and a settings button, and the top menu area includes a settings button.

[0098] In the night scene mode, the secondary menu area includes a zoom button, the three-level menu area includes a frame size button and a settings button, and the top menu area includes a settings button.

[0099] In the portrait mode, the secondary menu area includes a zoom button, a beauty button, and a bokeh button, the three-level menu area includes a ratio button, a flash button, and a settings button, and the top menu area includes a flash button and a settings button.

[0100] In photo mode, the secondary menu area includes the zoom button and the sports mode button, the tertiary menu area includes the focus button, ratio button, exposure button, flash button, dynamic photo button, AI photography button, HDR button, filter button, watermark button, timer button and setting button, and the top menu area includes the flash button, dynamic photo button, AI photography button, HDR button, filter button and setting button.

[0101] In video recording mode, the secondary menu area includes the blur button, zoom button and beauty button; the tertiary menu area includes the ratio button, resolution button, frame rate button, exposure button, flash, night scene enhancement button, filter button and setting button; the top menu area includes the flash button, resolution button, frame rate button, night scene enhancement button, filter button and setting button.

[0102] In movie mode, the secondary menu area includes the beauty button, zoom button and blur button; the tertiary menu area includes the time-lapse photography button, slow motion button, LOG button, ratio button, resolution button, frame rate button, flash button, LUT button, HDR video button, watermark button, timing button and setting button; the top menu area includes the flash button, resolution button, frame rate button, LUT button and setting button.

[0103] In professional mode, the secondary menu area includes the zoom button and professional parameter adjustment buttons, the tertiary menu area includes the flash button, JPG button and setting button, and the top menu area includes the flash button, JPG button and setting button.

[0104] You can also choose camera modes such as slow motion, panorama, time-lapse photography, watermark, document correction, super macro, multi-lens recording, micro movie and super night scene, which are not listed here one by one.

[0105] The above embodiments only exemplarily show the high-frequency button and the sub-high-frequency button in each mode, but this example cannot limit the function buttons in the embodiments of the present application. In the embodiments of the present application, the high-frequency button and the sub-high-frequency button corresponding to each mode can also be other buttons, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0106] The above embodiment introduces the calling process of the three-level menu area and the arrangement rules of the function buttons in the three-level menu area. The following takes the electronic device as an example, and further describes the use process of the three-level menu area in combination with the following scenarios.

[0107] Scenario 1: Usage scenario of the function buttons in the third-level menu area.

[0108] Scene interaction between the second and third level menu areas and the top menu area.

[0109] Scenario 3: The linkage scenario between function buttons when switching the camera mode.

[0110] Scenario 4: The mutual exclusion scenario when there is a function conflict between function buttons and / or camera mode buttons.

[0111] Scenario 5: The scenario of exiting the three - level menu area.

[0112] Scenario 6: The scenario where function buttons are evenly distributed in each camera mode.

[0113] Exemplarily, the usage scenarios of function buttons in the three - level menu area in Scenario 1 are described below in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the camera application interface, the electronic device can display a three - level menu area. The function buttons in the three - level menu area can include a first type of button and a second type of button. Among them, the first type of button can be a button that switches the switch state when receiving a trigger operation; the second type of button can be a button that expands and displays when receiving a trigger operation. For example, the first type of button can be a dynamic photo button, and the second type of button can be a ratio button. The usage scenarios of the two types of buttons are as follows:

[0114] Taking the photo mode and the dynamic photo button as an example, when the electronic device is in the photo mode, the electronic device can display the interface as shown in

[0115] a in Figure 4 The interface shown in a in Figure 4 displays a three - level menu area, and the three - level menu area includes a dynamic photo button 401, and the dynamic photo button 401 is in the off state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the dynamic photo button 401, the electronic device displays the interface as shown in Figure 4 b in Figure 4 In the interface shown in b in

[0116] the dynamic photo button 401 is in the on state. When the dynamic photo button 401 is in the on state, the electronic device can use the dynamic photo function to take pictures. Figure 5 Taking the photo mode and the ratio button as an example, when the electronic device is in the photo mode, it can display the interface as shown in Figure 5 a in

[0117] The interface shown in a in Figure 5 displays a three - level menu area, and the three - level menu area includes a ratio button 501. The icon of the ratio button 501 can represent that the ratio of the current shooting area is 4:3.

[0117] It can be understood that the ratio button 501 can include multiple shooting area ratios, for example, 4:3, 1:1, full screen, etc. The user needs to select among multiple ratios. At this time, the electronic device can display a four - level menu area based on the trigger operation for the ratio button 501 in the three - level menu area, and the four - level menu area displays multiple ratio buttons in the expanded state.

[0118] For example, in Figure 5 In the interface shown in a of FIG. 1 , when the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the scale button 501, the electronic device may enter the following Figure 5 The interface shown in b. Figure 5 In the interface shown in b in FIG. 1 , the electronic device displays a four-level menu area, wherein the four-level menu area can overlap with the three-level menu area. The four-level menu area includes a 4:3 ratio button 502, a 1:1 ratio button 503, and a full-screen ratio button 504, wherein the 4:3 ratio button 502 is in an on state, and the ratio of the viewing area is 4:3.

[0119] When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the 1:1 ratio button 503, the electronic device may enter the following Figure 5 The interface shown in b. Figure 5 In the interface shown in b in FIG. 1 , the 4:3 ratio button 502 is in a closed state, and the 1:1 ratio button 503 is in an open state. When the 1:1 ratio button 503 is in an open state, the ratio of the viewing area of ​​the electronic device is adjusted to 1:1.

[0120] Optionally, the electronic device can return from the fourth-level menu area to the third-level menu area by the following method:

[0121] In a possible implementation, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation for any proportional button in the fourth-level menu area and the trigger reaches a preset time, the electronic device returns to the interface of the third-level menu area.

[0122] For example, in Figure 5 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the 1:1 ratio button 503 and enters Figure 5 The interface shown in c in FIG. 1 is displayed; and the electronic device displays Figure 5 The interface shown in c in the figure reaches the preset time; the electronic device can return to Figure 5 The interface shown in a in FIG. The preset time length may be, for example, 1 second, or may be other values.

[0123] In another possible implementation, the fourth level menu area may include a return button, and the return button can be used to return to the third level menu area. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the return button, the electronic device returns to the interface of the third level menu area.

[0124] For example, the back button can be Figure 5 When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the return button 504, the electronic device enters Figure 5 The interface shown in a.

[0125] In the embodiments of the present application, only taking the first type of button as the dynamic photo button and the second type of button as the ratio button as an example, different scenarios during the use of the two types of buttons are exemplarily shown. The first type of button and the second type of button can both be other buttons, and the above examples do not limit the solutions in the embodiments of the present application.

[0126] Exemplarily, the interaction scenario between the three-level menu area and the top menu area in Scenario 2 will be described below in conjunction with Figures 6 - 9 the following.

[0127] Figure 6 The following shows a schematic diagram of the interface of a camera application provided by the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 6 shown:

[0128] In the camera application interface, the top menu area may include sliding panel type buttons and non-sliding panel type buttons. Among them, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation for a non-sliding panel type button, the electronic device can respond to the trigger operation and display an expanded non-sliding panel type button in the top menu area or switch the on / off state of the non-sliding panel type button. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for a sliding panel type button, the electronic device can respond to the trigger operation and display an expanded sliding panel type button in the three-level menu area.

[0129] For example, the sliding panel type buttons can be filter buttons, LUT buttons, etc., and the non-sliding panel type buttons can include dynamic photo buttons, flash buttons, resolution buttons, frame rate buttons, etc.

[0130] For the non-sliding panel type buttons, taking the dynamic photo button as an example. In the interface shown in a of Figure 6 , the electronic device is in the camera mode, and the electronic device can display the top menu area, which includes the dynamic photo button 601 in the off state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the dynamic photo button 601, the electronic device displays the interface shown in b of Figure 6 . In the interface shown in b of Figure 6 , the dynamic photo button 601 switches from the off state to the on state.

[0131] For the non-sliding panel type buttons, taking the flash button as an example. In the interface shown in a of Figure 7 , the electronic device is in the camera mode, and the electronic device can display the top menu area, which includes the retracted flash button 701. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the flash button 701, the electronic device displays the interface shown in b of Figure 7 . In Figure 7In the interface shown in b, the flash button 701 in the retracted state becomes multiple flash buttons in the expanded state, such as the flash auto button 702, the flash off button 703, the flash on button 704, and the flash always on button 705. In Figure 7 In the interface shown in b, the flash off button 703 is in the on state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the flash on button 704, the electronic device displays an interface as shown in Figure 7 c. In Figure 7 In the interface shown in c, the flash off button 703 is in the off state, and the flash on button 704 is in the on state.

[0132] For sliding panel type buttons, take the LUT button as an example. In Figure 8 In the interface shown in a, the electronic device is in the movie mode, and the electronic device can display the top menu area, and the top menu area includes the LUT button 801. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the LUT button 801, the electronic device displays an interface as shown in Figure 8 b. In Figure 8 In the interface shown in b, the LUT button 801 becomes multiple LUT mode buttons after expansion, such as the LUT mode 1 button 802, the LUT mode 2 button 803, and the LUT mode 3 button 804. The user can view all LUT modes by swiping left and right. After the user selects the LUT mode 2 button 803, the LUT mode 2 button 803 in the electronic device can be in the on state. For example, LUT mode 2 corresponds to the mysterious realm mode.

[0133] It can be seen that when the electronic device receives a trigger operation for a sliding panel type button in the top menu area, the electronic device can expand and display some or all of the buttons of the sliding panel type button in the bottom menu area. Among them, the area where the electronic device displays multiple LUT mode buttons can be the four - level menu area. It can be understood that the function buttons in the top menu area can be the same function buttons as those in the three - level menu area. Therefore, the electronic device can enter the four - level menu area from the function buttons in the three - level menu area based on the method shown in Figure 5 , or can also enter the four - level menu area by clicking the sliding panel type button in the top menu area.

[0134] In some embodiments, in Figure 8 the interface shown in b, a return button is displayed in the four - level menu area of the electronic device. The electronic device can return to the interface that can display the three - level menu area based on the return button 805, similar to the process of returning from Figure 5 figure c to Figure 5 figure a, which will not be elaborated here.

[0135] The above embodiment describes the association between the sliding panel buttons in the top menu area and the third-level menu area and the fourth-level menu area. Figure 9 The state linkage between the function buttons in the top menu area and the function buttons in the third-level menu area is explained, such as Figure 9 As shown:

[0136] The camera application interface can display a three-level menu area, such as Figure 9 The interface shown in a. Figure 9 In the interface shown in a, the electronic device displays a top menu area and a third-level menu area, wherein the top menu area can display a flash button 901, and the third-level menu area can also display a flash button 902, and the icon of flash button 901 is the same as the icon of flash button 902. For example, when the icon of flash button 901 indicates that the flash is off, the icon of flash button 902 also indicates that the flash is off; the functions of the two buttons are linked.

[0137] When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the flash button 901, the electronic device displays Figure 9 The interface shown in b. Figure 9 In the interface shown in b in the figure, the top menu area of ​​the electronic device can display multiple flash light buttons in an expanded state, for example, a flash light automatic button 903, a flash light off button 904, a flash light on button 905, and a flash light always on button 906; wherein the flash light off button 904 is in an on state, and the other flash light buttons are in an off state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the flash light on button 905, the electronic device can enter the following state: Figure 9 The interface shown in c.

[0138] exist Figure 9 In the interface shown in c in FIG. 1 , the flash off button 904 is in the off state, and the flash on button 905 is in the on state. Synchronously, the icon of the flash button 902 in the third-level menu bar also changes to the same icon as the flash on button 905. When the flash on button 905 is in the on state and the electronic device receives an operation for taking a photo, the electronic device can activate the flash; and after taking the photo, the flash is turned off.

[0139] It can be seen that when the function buttons in the top menu area are the same as the function buttons in the third-level menu area, the function buttons in the two areas can be linked. Figure 9 Taking the photo mode and the flash button as examples, the flash button in the third-level menu area changes in linkage when the flash button in the top menu area is switched. In the embodiment of the present application, when any button corresponding to the function button in the third-level menu area is switched, the function button in the top menu area changes in linkage; the process can be referred to Figure 9For the embodiments shown, the embodiments of the present application will not be introduced one by one here.

[0140] The above embodiments have described the linkage process of the function buttons in the three - level menu area and the top - level menu area. Next, in combination with Figures 10 - 12 the linkage scenario between function buttons when switching the camera mode in Scenario 3 will be described.

[0141] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can receive a trigger operation for the camera - mode button in the primary menu area. In response to this trigger operation, the electronic device can switch to the corresponding camera mode. During the process of the electronic device switching from one camera mode to another, the parameters of some functions of the electronic device may not change. For example, taking the switch from the photo - taking mode to the professional mode as an example.

[0142] In Figure 10 the interface shown in a, the electronic device is in the photo - taking mode, and the ratio of the view - finding area of the electronic device is 1:1. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the professional - mode button 1001, the electronic device can enter Figure 10 the interface shown in b. Figure 10 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device is in the professional mode, and the ratio of the view - finding area of the electronic device is still 1:1. Before and after the camera - mode switch, the ratio of the view - finding area has not changed.

[0143] It can be understood that for two camera modes for taking photos, when the electronic device switches between the two camera modes, if the ratio buttons support the same specifications, the specifications of the ratio buttons will not change before and after the switch. For example, the camera modes for taking photos are, for example, the photo - taking mode and the professional mode. Among them, the photo - taking mode supports the function of adjusting the ratio of the view - finding area and supports setting the ratio to parameter specifications such as 4:3, 1:1, and full - screen; the professional mode supports the function of adjusting the ratio of the view - finding area and supports setting the ratio to parameter specifications such as 4:3, 1:1, and full - screen. Therefore, before and after the switch, the size of the view - finder in the electronic device has not changed.

[0144] However, for two camera modes for taking photos, when the electronic device switches between the two camera modes, if the ratio buttons do not support the same specifications, the specifications of the ratio buttons will change before and after the switch. Taking the professional mode and the document - scanning mode as an example, as Figure 11 shown:

[0145] Among them, in Figure 11 the interface shown in a, the electronic device is in the professional mode, and the ratio of the view - finding area in this interface is 1:1. When the electronic device receives an operation to switch to the document - scanning mode, the electronic device can enter the interface shown in b as Figure 11 shown. In Figure 11In the interface shown in b, the electronic device is in the document scanning mode, and the aspect ratio of the shooting area is 4:3. The aspect ratio of the shooting area changes before and after the mode switch.

[0146] This is because the professional mode supports the function of adjusting the aspect ratio of the shooting area and supports setting the aspect ratio to parameter specifications such as 4:3, 1:1, and full screen; the document scanning mode supports the function of adjusting the aspect ratio of the shooting area and supports setting the aspect ratio to parameter specifications such as 4:3, 9:6, and full screen. When the electronic device switches from the professional mode with an aspect ratio of 1:1 to the document scanning mode, the document scanning mode does not support the specification of the aspect ratio of 1:1. Therefore, when the electronic device switches to the document scanning mode, the aspect ratio of the shooting area is set to the preset aspect ratio specification, such as 4:3. For the specifications that are not supported after the switch, the electronic device does not perform aspect ratio linkage before and after the mode switch.

[0147] In some embodiments, during the camera mode switch, the specifications of the aspect ratio buttons between the two camera modes are not linked. At this time, when the electronic device switches back to the original camera mode, the electronic device also does not perform aspect ratio linkage.

[0148] For example, in Figure 11 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device is in the document scanning mode, and the aspect ratio of the shooting area in this interface is 4:3. When the electronic device receives an operation to switch to the professional mode, the electronic device can enter the interface shown in a of Figure 11 In the interface shown in a of Figure 11 the electronic device is in the professional mode, and the aspect ratio of the shooting area is 1:1. The aspect ratio of the shooting area changes before and after the mode switch.

[0149] It can be understood that when switching from the professional mode to the document scanning mode, the aspect ratio function is not linked; when switching back from the document scanning mode to the professional mode, the aspect ratio function still does not perform linkage. For example, the professional mode supports an aspect ratio specification of 4:3; but when switching back from the document scanning mode with an aspect ratio of 4:3 to the professional mode, the electronic device displays the aspect ratio specification of the professional mode when the first switch occurs, such as 1:1.

[0150] Optionally, the operation to switch to the document scanning mode can be, for example: the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the more button and displays more camera modes. When the electronic device receives an operation to select the document scanning mode, it can display the interface shown in b of Figure 11 Another example: The document scanning button can be displayed in the primary menu area of the electronic device. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the document scanning button in the primary menu area, it can display the interface shown in b of Figure 11 This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0151] Optionally, the operation to switch to the professional mode can be, for example: inFigure 11 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the document scanning cancel button 1101, and the electronic device displays Figure 11 Another example: the first-level menu area of ​​the electronic device may display a professional button. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the professional button in the first-level menu area, it may display Figure 11 The interface shown in a in the figure is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0152] The above embodiment describes the change rules of the scale button specifications when switching between multiple camera modes for taking photos in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 12 The process of switching between multiple camera modes for recording video is described.

[0153] The camera modes used for recording video may include, for example, movie mode, video mode, and multi-lens video mode. Taking the movie mode and multi-lens video mode as examples:

[0154] Among them, Figure 12 In the interface shown in a of FIG. 1 , the electronic device is in movie mode, and the resolution specification is 4K and the frame rate specification is 24FPS. When the electronic device receives an operation to switch to the multi-lens recording mode, the electronic device can enter the following Figure 12 The interface shown in b. Figure 12 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device is in multi-lens recording mode, and the resolution specification is 1080 and the frame rate specification is 30FPS. Before and after the mode is switched, the proportion of the viewing area changes.

[0155] It is understandable that when the electronic device switches between multiple camera modes for recording, the frame rate specifications, resolution specifications, and ratio specifications are not linked. When the electronic device switches from the multi-lens recording mode back to the movie mode, the frame rate specifications, resolution specifications, and ratio specifications are also not linked.

[0156] Optionally, the operation of switching to the multi-lens recording mode may be, for example, that the electronic device receives a trigger operation for more buttons and displays more camera modes. Figure 12 Another example: the first-level menu area of ​​the electronic device may display a multi-lens recording button. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the multi-lens recording button in the first-level menu area, it may display Figure 12 The interface shown in b in the figure is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0157] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, taking the professional mode, the photo-taking mode, and the document scanning mode as examples, the change in the ratio specification during the switching of the camera modes for photo-taking is described by way of example. In the embodiments of the present application, for other camera modes for photo-taking, the switching can also be carried out with reference to the above method. In the embodiments of the present application, taking the movie mode and the multi-lens video recording mode as examples, the change in specifications such as the frame rate and the resolution during the switching of the camera modes for video recording is described by way of example. In the embodiments of the present application, for other camera modes for video recording, the switching can also be carried out with reference to the above method. The embodiments of the present application will not list them one by one, and at the same time, no limitation is imposed thereon.

[0158] The above embodiments have introduced the linkage scenarios between the function buttons when switching the camera mode; the following combines Figures 13 - 19 to illustrate the mutual exclusion scenario when there is a function conflict between the function buttons and / or the camera mode buttons in Scenario 4.

[0159] In the first embodiment, there may be conflict scenarios between the ratio function, the resolution function, the frame rate function, and other functions. Among them, other functions can be understood as functions other than the ratio function, the resolution function, and the frame rate function. The electronic device can set the priorities of other functions, the ratio function, the resolution function, and the frame rate function; for example, the priorities can be in descending order as follows: other functions, the ratio function, the resolution function, and the frame rate function. When the specifications of the high-priority function and the specifications of the low-priority function are mutually exclusive, the electronic device preferentially displays the specifications of the high-priority function, and the specifications of the low-priority function cannot be set; when the electronic device turns off the high-priority function, the specifications of the low-priority function can be restored for setting.

[0160] The following takes the video recording mode as an example and combines Figure 13 to illustrate the camera application interface when the function buttons are mutually exclusive. As Figure 13 shown:

[0161] In Figure 13 the interface shown in a, the electronic device displays a four-level menu area, and the four-level menu area includes a plurality of resolution buttons in an expanded state. For example, the resolution button 1301 of 720P, the resolution button 1302 of 1080P, and the resolution button 1303 of 4K. Among them, the resolution button 1302 of 1080P is in an on state, and the resolution buttons 1301 of 720P and 1303 of 4K are in an off state; the resolution of the image displayed by the electronic device can be 1080P.

[0162] When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the resolution button 1303 of 4K, the electronic device can display the interface shown in b in Figure 13 . Figure 13In the interface shown in b, the resolution button 1303 for 4K is in the on state, and the resolution button 1302 for 1080P is in the off state. The resolution of the image displayed by the electronic device can be 4K.

[0163] In Figure 13 In the interface shown in b, the top menu area of the electronic device can display a night scene enhancement button 1304, and the night scene enhancement button 1304 is in the off state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the night scene enhancement button 1304, the electronic device displays an interface as shown in Figure 13 c.

[0164] In Figure 13 In the interface shown in c, the electronic device displays the night scene enhancement button 1304 in the on state; in the four-level menu area, the resolution button 1302 for 1080P is in the on state, and the resolution buttons 1301 for 720P and 1303 for 4K are in the grayed-out state. Among them, the resolution buttons 1301 for 720P and 1303 for 4K in the grayed-out state cannot be selected. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the resolution button 1301 for 720P or the resolution button 1303 for 4K, the electronic device can display an interface as shown in Figure 13 d.

[0165] In Figure 13 In the interface shown in d, the electronic device displays a prompt message 1305. The prompt message 1305 can be used to prompt that when the night scene enhancement is turned on, the 720P resolution or the 4K resolution is unavailable. The prompt message 1305 can also be in other forms, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0166] It can be understood that in the above scenario, the priority of the night scene enhancement function is higher than the priority of the resolution. The resolution of the electronic device is 4K, but the night scene enhancement function does not support the 4K resolution. Therefore, when both are turned on, the night scene enhancement function with a higher priority is turned on, the 4K resolution function is turned off, and the resolution is adjusted to 1080P that the night scene enhancement function can support. Since the night scene enhancement function does not support the 4K resolution and the 720P resolution, the resolution buttons 1301 for 720P and 1303 for 4K are set to the grayed-out state.

[0167] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, when the electronic device turns off the function with a high priority, the specifications of the function with a low priority can be restored. For example, in Figure 13 the interface shown in c, when a trigger operation for turning off the night scene enhancement button 1304 is received, the electronic device can display an interface as shown in Figure 13The interface shown in b in FIG. The night scene enhancement button 1304 is in the off state, and the electronic device cancels the grayed-out state of the 720P resolution button 1301 and the 4K resolution button 1303. At this time, both the 720P resolution button 1301 and the 4K resolution button 1303 can be selected.

[0168] In one possible implementation, before the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned on, the resolution is 4K; when the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned on, the resolution is switched to 1080P; after the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned off, the resolution is restored to 4K. In another possible implementation, before the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned on, the resolution is 4K; when the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned on, the resolution is switched to 1080P; after the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned off, the resolution is 1080P. This embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0169] In the embodiment of the present application, the priority arrangement rules are described by taking the resolution function and other functions as night scene enhancement functions as an example. In the embodiment of the present application, when there are mutually exclusive scenes between any of the other functions, the scale function, the resolution function and the frame rate function, you can refer to Figure 13 Priority display method in the embodiment. For example, taking the ratio and frame rate as an example, in a scenario with a ratio of 21:9, the electronic device can support a frame rate specification of 30FPS, but does not support frame rate specifications of 60FPS and 24FPS; then the electronic device displays a ratio of 21:9, a frame rate of 30FPS, and the frame rate buttons of 60FPS and 24FPS are both in a gray state. The embodiments of the present application do not list the mutually exclusive scenarios of the combinations of functions of different priorities one by one.

[0170] In the second embodiment, there may be a conflict between the function button in the secondary menu area and the function button in the tertiary menu area. When a function button is turned on, the electronic device can turn off the function button that is mutually exclusive with the function button; when a function button that is mutually exclusive with the function is turned on, the electronic device can turn off the function button. Figure 14 The mutually exclusive scenario is described as follows: Figure 14 As shown:

[0171] For example, taking the movie mode as an example, in Figure 14 In the interface shown in a of FIG. 1 , the electronic device may display a blur button 1401, a beautification button 1402, and an outgoing call button 1403 in the secondary menu area, wherein the blur button 1401 and the beautification button 1402 are both in an on state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the outgoing call button 1403, the electronic device may display the following Figure 14 The interface shown in b.

[0172] exist Figure 14In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays a three - level menu area, which includes a LOG button 1405, and the LOG button 1405 is in the off state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the LOG button 1405, the electronic device can enter the interface shown in c as Figure 14 shown in c. Figure 14 In the interface shown in c, the LOG button 1405 is in the on state. When the electronic device receives an operation for the retract button 1406, the electronic device does not display the three - level menu area and displays the two - level menu area; among them, the blur button 1401 and the beauty button 1402 in the two - level menu area are both in the off state.

[0173] In the embodiments of the present application, the blur function and the beauty function are both mutually exclusive with the LOG function; the electronic device cannot set all three function buttons to the on state. For example, after the blur function is turned on, the LOG function is in the off state; after the LOG function is turned on, the blur function is in the off state; and / or, after the beauty function is turned on, the LOG function is in the off state; after the LOG function is turned on, the beauty function is in the off state.

[0174] Optionally, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the blur button 1401 in the interface shown in d as Figure 14 shown in d, the electronic device can turn on the blur button 1401 and turn off the LOG button. The embodiments of the present application will not elaborate on this.

[0175] It can be understood that the electronic device can rely on some algorithms to implement the algorithms of the blur function, the beauty function, and / or the LOG function; when the electronic device simultaneously executes the algorithms of the blur function, the beauty function, and / or the LOG function, the algorithms between the functions are mutually exclusive or the algorithms need to consume more computing power after being superimposed, which will affect the process of taking pictures or videos. The electronic device can set the blur function and the LOG function to be mutually exclusive; set the beauty function and the LOG function to be mutually exclusive; thereby realizing that only one function is turned on between the blur function and the LOG function, and only one function is turned on between the beauty function and the LOG function. The embodiments of the present application take the blur button and the beauty button being in the on state at the same time and switching to the off state at the same time as an example to illustrate the mutually exclusive scenario. The embodiments of the present application can also only turn on the beauty button or only turn on the blur button, and the present application does not limit this.

[0176] The above embodiments have described the possible conflict scenarios between the function buttons in the two - level menu area and the function buttons in the three - level menu; in some embodiments, there may also be conflict scenarios between the function buttons in the three - level menu. For example, Figure 14In the interface shown in a of [description], there is also a LUT button 1404, and the LUT button 1404 is in the on state; when the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the call button 1403, the electronic device can enter the interface shown in Figure 14 b of [description]. When the electronic device receives the trigger function for the LOG button 1406 in the interface shown in Figure 14 b of [description], the electronic device enters the interface shown in Figure 14 c of [description]. Figure 14 In the interface shown in c of [description], the LOG button 1406 is in the on state, and the LUT button 1404 is in the off state. Optionally, the electronic device can also automatically turn off the LOG button based on the operation of turning on the LUT button. This application embodiment will not expand on this.

[0177] In some scenarios, function buttons also use, for example, Figure 13 the rule of priority in the embodiment to gray out the function buttons with lower priority. Taking the movie mode as an example, the following combines Figure 15 to illustrate this scenario, as shown in Figure 15 :

[0178] In the interface shown in Figure 15 a of [description], the electronic device can display a blur button 1501, a beauty button 1502, and a call button 1503 in the secondary menu area. Among them, the blur button 1501 is in the on state and the beauty button 1502 is in the on state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the call button 1503, the electronic device can enter the interface shown in Figure 15 b of [description]; Figure 15 In the interface shown in b of [description], the electronic device displays an HDR button 1504 in the tertiary menu area, and the HDR button 1504 is in the grayed-out state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the HDR button 1504, the electronic device can display a prompt message 1505 in the interface shown in Figure 15 c of [description]; the prompt message 1505 is used to prompt that the HDR button is unavailable after the beauty button and / or the blur button is turned on. The user can know the reason why the current button is unavailable according to the prompt information.

[0179] It can be understood that in the embodiments of this application, when two functions are in a mutually exclusive scenario, the electronic device can set priorities for the functions. After the function with a higher priority is turned on, the function with a lower priority is grayed out. For example, the priorities of the beauty function and the blur function are both greater than the priority of the HDR function; when the beauty button and / or the blur button is in the on state, the HDR button is in the grayed-out state.

[0180] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, taking the mutual exclusion relationship among the beauty button, the defocus button, the LUT button and the LOG button, and the mutual exclusion scenario of the beauty button, the defocus button and the HDR button as examples, the camera application interface in the mutual exclusion scenario is introduced. The embodiments of the present application may also include other buttons with mutually exclusive functions, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0181] In the third embodiment, in the top menu area and / or the three-level menu area, in different camera modes, the electronic device displays the function buttons supported by the camera mode; in the front / back camera, the electronic device displays the function buttons supported by the camera.

[0182] For example, the following combines Figure 16 to illustrate the scenario in the third embodiment, as Figure 16 shown:

[0183] Taking the video recording mode as an example, when the electronic device is in the video recording mode of the back camera, the electronic device supports the night scene enhancement function, and the electronic device may display the interface as shown in Figure 16 a. In the interface shown in Figure 16 a, the top menu area includes the night scene enhancement button 1601, the three-level menu area includes the night scene enhancement button 1602, and the shutter area includes the lens conversion button 1603.

[0184] When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the lens conversion button 1603, the electronic device converts the back camera to the front camera, and the electronic device displays the interface as shown in Figure 16 b. In the interface shown in Figure 16 b, the night scene enhancement button is not displayed in both the top menu area and the three-level menu area of the electronic device; among them, when the electronic device is in the video recording mode of the front camera, the electronic device does not support the night scene enhancement function.

[0185] Again, for example, the following combines Figure 17 to illustrate the scenario in the third embodiment, as Figure 17 shown:

[0186] Taking the HDR video recording mode as an example, in the HDR video recording mode, the electronic device supports a frame rate of 30FPS and does not support other frame rate specifications. The electronic device may display the interface as shown in Figure 17 a. In the top menu area of this interface, there is a frame rate button 1701, where the frame rate button 1701 indicates that the current frame rate is 30FPS; there is no frame rate button in the three-level menu area of this interface.

[0187] It can be understood that in the HDR video recording mode, the electronic device displays a frame rate button in the top menu area, indicating that in this mode, the electronic device supports a frame rate of 30 FPS; the electronic device does not display the frame rate button in the three-level menu area, indicating that the frame rate is not adjustable, and the electronic device can only run the HDR video recording mode at a frame rate of 30 FPS. In some scenarios, the user may want to adjust the frame rate in the HDR video recording mode. For example, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the frame rate button 1701, the electronic device may display an interface as shown in Figure 17 as shown in b; in the interface shown in b in Figure 17 , the electronic device displays a prompt message 1702, and the prompt message 1702 is used to prompt that only a frame rate of 30 FPS is supported in the HDR video recording mode. In the embodiments of the present application, taking the frame rate as an example, in actual applications, when the current mode does not support adjusting the ratio and / or resolution, the camera application interface can be displayed with reference to the embodiment shown in Figure 17 . The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0188] The embodiments of the present application only exemplarily list some scenarios to illustrate the rule of "in different camera modes, the electronic device displays the function buttons supported by the camera mode; in the front / back camera, the electronic device displays the function buttons supported by the camera". The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific function buttons in mutually exclusive scenarios.

[0189] In the fourth embodiment, in the settings interface of the camera application, the electronic device can add preset conditions to the function buttons, and the preset conditions can include: camera mode, and / or front / back camera. After the function button is turned on, when the preset conditions are met, the electronic device can automatically use the function corresponding to the function button; when the preset conditions are not met, the electronic device does not use the function corresponding to the function button.

[0190] In some scenarios, it may occur that although the preset conditions are met, a certain function, a certain camera mode, or the front / back camera in the on state is mutually exclusive with the function corresponding to the function button, resulting in the function button being unavailable. The electronic device can display the function button in gray and prompt the reason for graying out.

[0191] The following will describe the settings interface of the above camera application in conjunction with Figure 18 , as shown in Figure 18 :

[0192] The electronic device can enter the settings interface of the camera application based on the settings button in the top menu area and / or the settings button in the three-level menu area, such as the interface shown in a in Figure 18 . In the interface shown in a in Figure 18 , the electronic device can display buttons for multiple functions. For example, intelligent shooting button, high-efficiency video format button, multi-shot-in-one button 1801, intelligent autofocus button, and protagonist autofocus button, etc.

[0193] Each button corresponds to explanatory information about preset conditions. Taking the one-tap multi-gain button 1801 as an example, when the one-tap multi-gain button 1801 is in the on state, it corresponds to explanatory information 1802; the explanatory information is used to explain the preset conditions that can trigger this function and the explanation of this function. For example, the explanatory information 1802 can be "In rear video recording and movie mode, if the AI recognizes a wonderful segment, you can create a short video or recommend wonderful photos with one tap". Among them, the preset conditions can be rear video recording and movie mode, and the electronic device supports using the one-tap multi-gain function in rear video recording and movie mode.

[0194] It can be understood that when the one-tap multi-gain button 1801 is in the off state, the electronic device can receive a trigger operation for the one-tap multi-gain button 1801 in rear video recording and movie mode, and display the on-state one-tap multi-gain button 1801 in the interface shown in a of Figure 17 When the one-tap multi-gain button 1801 is in the off state, the electronic device can switch the one-tap multi-gain button 1801 to the on state based on the operation of the one-tap multi-gain button 1801 in other modes. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0195] When the one-tap multi-gain button 1801 is in the on state, when the electronic device is in rear video recording and movie mode, the electronic device can automatically generate an additional short video or photo according to the recorded video content; when the electronic device is not in rear video recording and movie mode, the electronic device will not automatically generate an additional short video or photo. It can be understood that after the one-tap multi-gain button is turned on, under non-preset conditions, the electronic device supports operations on the one-tap multi-gain button 1801; but the one-tap multi-gain function will not take effect.

[0196] It should be noted that the scenarios where the one-tap multi-gain button 1801 can be used are relatively few. If the electronic device is controlled to be able to turn on the one-tap multi-gain button only when the preset conditions are met, the user may see a grayed-out one-tap multi-gain button in many scenarios, reducing the usage rate of this function and also affecting the user experience; while in the embodiments of the present application, under non-mutually exclusive conditions (for example, the night scene enhancement function is not turned on), the electronic device can turn on the one-tap multi-gain button. In this way, the grayed-out scenarios in the setting interface can be reduced; at the same time, the explanatory information can be used to prompt the user about the preset conditions and function introduction of the function, improving the user experience.

[0197] The above embodiments have introduced the buttons in the setting interface and the explanatory information of the buttons. Next, the scenarios where the function and function mutual exclusion cause the buttons in the setting interface to be grayed out and displayed will be described.

[0198] The setting interface of the camera application, such as Figure 18The interface shown as b in []. In this interface, the electronic device displays a "Record Multiple" button 1801, and the "Record Multiple" button 1801 is in a grayed-out state; a prompt message 1803 corresponds to the "Record Multiple" button 1801, and the prompt message 1803 is used to prompt the reason for the graying-out of the "Record Multiple" button 1801. For example, the prompt message 1803 is "not available when night scene enhancement is enabled".

[0199] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the night scene enhancement function may conflict with the "Record Multiple" function; when the electronic device enables the night scene enhancement function, the electronic device displays that the "Record Multiple" function is not available and a prompt message indicating the reason for the unavailability. After the electronic device disables the night scene enhancement function, the electronic device can restore the "Record Multiple" function, and the electronic device can enable the "Record Multiple" function based on user operations or restore the enabled state before graying out.

[0200] In this way, when a button in the settings interface is unavailable, the user can know the reason for the unavailability of the button based on the prompt message, so that the user can operate according to the prompt message to turn off the function that is mutually exclusive with the button, improving the usage rate of the button and enhancing the user experience.

[0201] The following Figure 19 illustrates the scenario where the settings interface gray-displays a button due to the mutual exclusion of a mode and a function.

[0202] The settings interface of the camera application, such as Figure 19 the interface shown as a in []. In this interface, the electronic device displays a watermark button 1901, and the watermark button 1901 is in a grayed-out state; a prompt message 1902 corresponds to the watermark button 1901, and the prompt message 1902 is used to prompt the reason for the graying-out of the watermark button 1901. For example, the prompt message 1902 is "not applicable to the current mode".

[0203] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can enable the watermark function in multiple camera modes, such as the photo-taking mode, video-recording mode, and night scene mode, etc.; but in some camera modes, the electronic device cannot enable the watermark function, such as the portrait mode. When the electronic device enters the settings interface from a camera mode that is not applicable to the watermark function, the electronic device can gray-display the watermark button.

[0204] In this way, when a button in the settings interface is unavailable, the user can know the reason for the unavailability of the button based on the prompt message, so that the user can operate according to the prompt message to switch to a camera mode that is mutually exclusive with the button, improving the usage rate of the button and enhancing the user experience.

[0205] In some scenarios, there may be differences in the settings interfaces for the front / back cameras of the electronic device. For functions not supported by the front / back cameras, the electronic device can hide the display. Taking the watermark in the settings interface as an example, the settings interface can be as Figure 19The interface shown in b, where the watermark button 1901 is in an available state.

[0206] In a possible implementation, when the electronic device is in the rear camera mode and receives a trigger operation for the watermark button 1901, the electronic device may display an interface as shown in Figure 19 c. Figure 19 In the interface shown in c, there are an automatically add watermark button 1903, a prompt message 1904, a watermark style 1905, a model watermark 1907, etc. Among them, the automatically add watermark button 1903 is in an on state, and the electronic device can add a watermark to the image during shooting; the prompt message 1904 is used to prompt the model watermark and the photo frame style, which takes effect when shooting with the rear camera. The watermark style 1905 may include a default style schematic diagram and a photo frame style schematic diagram 1906.

[0207] When in the rear camera mode, the watermark setting interface of the electronic device can display the model watermark and the photo frame style; when in the front camera mode, the watermark setting interface of the electronic device may not display the model watermark and the photo frame style.

[0208] For example, in another possible implementation, when the electronic device is in the front camera mode and receives a trigger operation for the watermark button 1901, the electronic device may display an interface as shown in Figure 19 d. Figure 19 In the interface shown in d, the electronic device can display a time watermark 1908 and a location watermark 1909. It can be seen that when shooting with the front camera, the electronic device can display the time watermark and the location watermark in a mode style. The electronic device does not display the photo frame style schematic diagram 1906 and the model watermark button 1907.

[0209] In this way, when there is a conflict in the functions supported by the front / rear camera in the setting interface, the electronic device can hide and display the function, thereby simplifying the interface and improving the aesthetics of the interface.

[0210] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, when there is an icon of a function button grayed out in the camera application interface, when the electronic device receives an operation on the grayed-out function button, the electronic device may display a prompt message. For example Figure 13 the prompt message 1305 in the interface shown in d, Figure 15 the prompt message 1505 in the interface shown in c, etc.

[0211] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, when there is a function button grayed out in the setting interface of the camera application, when the electronic device receives an operation on the grayed-out function button, the electronic device may display a prompt message. For example Figure 18 the prompt message 1803 in the interface shown in b.

[0212] The above embodiments have introduced the mutually exclusive scenarios when there are functional conflicts between the function button and / or the camera mode button; the following will describe the scenario of exiting the three-level menu area in Scenario 5 in combination with Figures 20 - 22 the description of the scenario of exiting the three-level menu area in Scenario 5.

[0213] In Figure 2 the embodiments shown, the method for the electronic device to call out the three-level menu area has been introduced. For example, the electronic device can call out the three-level menu area based on the call button, or the electronic device can call out the three-level menu area based on the upward sliding operation in the shooting area. After calling out the three-level menu area, the electronic device can exit the three-level menu area in the following ways; as Figure 20 shown:

[0214] The electronic device displays the camera application interface, and this interface includes a three-level menu area. For example, Figure 20 the interface shown in a of Figure 20 In the interface shown in a of

[0215] In one possible implementation, in Figure 20 the interface shown in a of Figure 20 when the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the collapse button 2001, the electronic device can enter Figure 20 the interface shown in b of

[0216] In another possible implementation, in Figure 20 the interface shown in a of Figure 20 when the electronic device receives an upward sliding operation in the area 2003 (the solid-line frame area in the figure), the electronic device can enter

[0217] the interface shown in b of Figure 20 The area 2003 may include the shooting area, the three-level menu area, and the first-level menu area. In the embodiments of the present application, the size of the shooting area is related to the ratio setting, and the shooting area may overlap with the three-level menu area or may not overlap with the three-level menu area. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this Figure 20 In yet another possible implementation, in

[0218] In Figure 5In the illustrated embodiment, the electronic device can call up the four - level menu area by receiving a click operation on a function button in the three - level menu area. The electronic device can also return to the three - level menu area through operations in the four - level menu area; for example, when a trigger operation on any function button is received in the four - level menu area and reaches a preset duration, it returns to the three - level menu; or when a trigger operation on the return button is received in the four - level menu area, it returns to the three - level menu. In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can also exit the three - level menu area from the four - level menu area through the following method, as Figure 21 shown:

[0219] The electronic device displays a camera application interface and is in the photo - taking mode. This interface includes a four - level menu area, for example, Figure 21 the interface shown in a of

[0220] In one possible implementation, in the interface shown in a of Figure 21 when the electronic device receives a swiping - up operation in area 2102 (the solid - line - framed area in the figure), the electronic device can enter the interface shown in b of Figure 21 Area 2102 may include a shooting area, a four - level menu area, and a one - level menu area. In the embodiments of the present application, the size and proportion of the shooting area are related to the setting. The shooting area may overlap with the four - level menu area or may not overlap with the four - level menu area. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this

[0221] In another possible implementation, in the interface shown in a of Figure 21 when the electronic device receives a click operation in area 2101 (the dashed - line - framed area in the figure), the electronic device can enter the interface shown in b of Figure 21 Area 2101 may include the part of the shooting area except the four - level menu area.

[0222] It can be understood that two ways for the four - level menu area to return to the two - level menu area are partially the same in operation and generally similar in principle to the latter two ways for the three - level menu area to return to the two - level menu area. The embodiments of the present application do not elaborate on this.

[0223] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can also exit the three - level menu area through some methods such as mode switching, front / back camera switching, and page switching. As Figure 22 shown:

[0224] The electronic device displays a camera application interface and is in the photo - taking mode. This interface includes a three - level menu area, a one - level menu area, and a shutter area. Among them, the one - level menu area may include a photo - taking button, a video - recording button 2201, etc., and the shutter area may include a lens - conversion button 2202 and a shortcut button 2203 for the gallery (album) application. This interface is, for example, Figure 22 the interface shown in a of

[0225] In one possible implementation, when the electronic device switches the camera mode, the electronic device can return from the three-level menu area to the two-level menu area. For example, in the interface shown in a of Figure 22 , when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the video recording button 2201, the electronic device can switch from the photo-taking mode to the video-recording mode, and the electronic device displays the interface shown in b of Figure 22 . In the interface shown in b of Figure 22 , the electronic device displays the two-level menu area and does not display the three-level menu area.

[0226] In another possible implementation, when the electronic device switches the front / back camera, the electronic device can return from the three-level menu area to the two-level menu area. For example, in the interface shown in a of Figure 22 , when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the lens conversion button 2202, the electronic device can switch from the rear camera photo-taking mode to the front camera photo-taking mode, and the electronic device displays the interface shown in c of Figure 22 . In the interface shown in c of Figure 22 , the electronic device displays the two-level menu area and does not display the three-level menu area.

[0227] In yet another possible implementation, when the electronic device returns to the camera application interface after switching to other interfaces, the electronic device can return from the three-level menu area to the two-level menu area. For example, the electronic device displays the camera application interface, and the camera application interface includes a three-level menu area; the electronic device switches the camera application to the background, and when the electronic device runs the camera application in the foreground again, the three-level menu area is not included in the camera application interface. Another example is that the electronic device displays the camera application interface, and the camera application interface includes a three-level menu area; the electronic device jumps to other applications based on notifications, the quick button of the gallery (photo album) application, etc., and when it returns to the camera application interface again, the electronic device does not display the three-level menu area.

[0228] Taking the jump to the gallery application through the quick button of the gallery (photo album) application as an example, in the interface shown in a of Figure 22 , when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the quick button 2203 of the gallery (photo album) application, the electronic device can start the gallery application, and the electronic device displays the interface shown in d of Figure 22 . When the electronic device receives, for example, a swiping right operation in the interface shown in d of Figure 22 , the electronic device displays the interface shown in c of Figure 22 ; Figure 22 In the interface shown in c of

[0229] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device turns on the minimalist mode, the electronic device no longer displays the call out button and the retract button in the camera application interface, and the electronic device cannot call out the third-level menu area and / or the fourth-level menu area. Figure 23 The interface shown.

[0230] In the embodiment of the present application, the gesture operation for calling out and / or retracting the third-level menu area may conflict with the gesture operation of other functions. Figures 24 - 26 Describes how to resolve gesture operation conflicts.

[0231] When the third-level menu area is not called out, the electronic device responds to other functional gestures first; when there is no conflict between other functional gestures and the swipe-up gesture used to call out the third-level menu area, the electronic device can respond to the swipe-up operation and display the third-level menu area. Figure 24 As shown, in Figure 24 In the interface shown in a of FIG. 1 , the electronic device is in a photographing mode. When the electronic device receives a click operation in the scenic area, the electronic device may display the following Figure 24 The interface shown in b. Figure 24 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays an exposure frame 2401 at the previously clicked position.

[0232] At this time, electronic devices cannot Figure 24 The interface shown in b in the figure calls out the third-level menu area. For example, when the electronic device is in Figure 24 When the interface shown in b in FIG. receives a sliding operation, the electronic device may display the following Figure 24 The interface shown in c in the figure. Figure 24 In the interface shown in c, the electronic device can display the exposure value changing with the up and down sliding gesture, and the electronic device does not display the third-level menu area.

[0233] It is understandable that in Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, it is introduced that the electronic device can call out the third-level menu area by sliding up. Figure 24 Interface shown in a in the figure), and when the swipe-up gesture for calling out the third-level menu area conflicts with other functional gestures (for example, swiping up to adjust the exposure value), the priority of other functional gestures is higher than the priority of the swipe-up gesture for calling out the third-level menu area, and the electronic device gives priority to responding to other functional gestures. The embodiment of the present application exemplifies the scenario in which the gesture for adjusting the exposure value conflicts with the gesture for calling out the third-level menu area. Gesture conflicts may also exist in other scenarios, and the electronic device may give priority to responding to other functional gestures when the third-level menu area is not called out. Other scenarios may also include: the conflict between the swipe-up gesture for dragging a small window in the protagonist mode and the swipe-up gesture for calling out the third-level menu area; the conflict between the swipe-up gesture for dragging the picture-in-picture window in multi-lens recording and the swipe-up gesture for calling out the third-level menu area, etc.

[0234] After the three - level menu area is called out, the electronic device preferentially responds to a click or a downward - sliding gesture to collapse the three - level menu area. As Figure 25 shown, in the interface shown in a of Figure 25 , the electronic device is in the camera mode and the electronic device displays the three - level menu area. When the electronic device receives a click operation in the viewfinder area, the electronic device can display an interface as shown in b of Figure 25 . In the interface shown in b of Figure 24 , the electronic device displays the two - level menu area and does not display the three - level menu area.

[0235] It can be understood that in the embodiment shown in Figure 20 , a method is introduced in which the electronic device can collapse the three - level menu area through a downward - sliding operation or a click operation. When the electronic device calls out the three - level menu area (for example, the interface shown in a of Figure 25 ), and the click gesture or the downward - sliding gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area conflicts with other function gestures, the priority of other function gestures is lower than the priority of the click gesture or the downward - sliding gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area, and the electronic device preferentially responds to the click gesture or the downward - sliding gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area. For example, in the interface shown in a of Figure 25 , the electronic device displays the three - level menu area. When a click operation is received, the electronic device collapses the three - level menu area. In the interface shown in a of Figure 24 , the electronic device does not display the three - level menu area. When a click operation is received, the electronic device displays an exposure frame.

[0236] The embodiments of the present application exemplarily show a scenario where the click gesture for calling out the exposure frame conflicts with the click gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area. There may also be gesture conflicts in other scenarios. When the electronic device calls out the three - level menu area, it can preferentially respond to the gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area. Other scenarios may also include, for example: the conflict scenario between the long - press gesture for focus exposure separation and the click gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area, the conflict scenario between the long - press gesture for focus lock and the click gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area, the conflict scenario between the double - click gesture for switching the front and rear cameras in the multi - camera video recording mode and the click gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area, the conflict scenario between the sliding gesture for dragging the small window or the picture - in - picture small window in the main - character mode and the downward - sliding gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area, the conflict scenario between the sliding gesture for adjusting the exposure value and the downward - sliding gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area, and the conflict scenario between the gesture for switching the camera mode by left - right sliding and the gesture for collapsing the three - level menu area, etc. In these conflict scenarios, the electronic device preferentially responds to collapsing the three - level menu area.

[0237] Optionally, in some scenarios, the electronic device can first respond to the operation of collapsing the three - level menu area and then respond to other operations. As Figure 26 shown: In Figure 26In the interface shown in a of FIG. 1 , the electronic device displays a three-level menu area. When the electronic device receives a two-finger sliding operation, the two-finger sliding operation can be a two-finger sliding operation in which the distance between the two fingers gradually increases or decreases, and the electronic device can enter Figure 26 The interface shown in b. Figure 26 In the interface shown in b in FIG. 1 , the electronic device displays the secondary menu area and does not display the tertiary menu area. Taking the two-finger sliding operation as an example in which the distance between the two fingers is gradually reduced, during the continuous sliding of the two fingers, the electronic device responds to the sliding operation and zooms the lens. Figure 26 In the interface shown in b, the focal length of the electronic device is 1x; as the distance between the two fingers decreases, Figure 26 In the interface shown in c, the focal length of the electronic device is reduced to 0.5. It can be seen that when the electronic device displays the third-level menu area, the electronic device preferentially responds to the double-finger operation by retracting the third-level menu area.

[0238] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display one or more function buttons in the top menu area, and the function buttons are evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 2 In the interface shown in b in FIG. 1 , the electronic device is in a photo taking mode and displays function buttons in the top menu area, wherein 6 function buttons are evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 12 In the interface shown in b in FIG. 1 , the electronic device is in a multi-lens video recording mode and displays function buttons in the top menu area, wherein five function buttons are evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 11 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device is in document scanning mode and displays function buttons in the top menu area, wherein four function buttons are evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 10 In the interface shown in b in FIG. 1 , the electronic device is in professional mode and displays function buttons in the top menu area, wherein three function buttons are evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 27 In the interface shown in a in FIG. 1 , the electronic device is in super macro mode and displays function buttons in the top menu area, wherein two function buttons are evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 27 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device is in aperture mode and displays function buttons in the top menu area, wherein 1 function button is evenly distributed in the top menu area.

[0239] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the arrangement of one or more function buttons in the top menu area. In the camera application interface of other camera modes, the function buttons in the top menu area can be arranged with reference to the above embodiments, and the embodiments of the present application will not list them one by one.

[0240] The above embodiments take the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example to illustrate the display method of the camera application interface in the embodiments of the present application. The following takes the electronic device as a foldable mobile phone as an example to briefly illustrate the display method of the camera application interface in the embodiments of the present application.

[0241] The camera app interface of a foldable phone is as follows Figure 28 Shown: In Figure 28 In the interface shown in a in , the camera application interface of the foldable phone includes: a shutter area, a first-level menu area, a top menu area, and a second-level menu area. The shutter area displays shortcut buttons for the gallery (album) application, a shutter button, and a lens conversion button from bottom to top. The first-level menu area displays multiple camera modes, such as aperture (also known as large aperture), night scene, portrait, photo, video, movie, professional, and more modes, and the electronic device is in photo mode. The second-level menu area displays multiple high-frequency buttons in the photo mode, such as a sports mode button and a zoom button. The top menu area displays some of the less high-frequency buttons in the photo mode, such as: external screen preview button, flash button, AI photography button, HDR button, filter button, and setting button.

[0242] exist Figure 28 In the interface shown in a of FIG. 1 , the secondary menu area may also include an outgoing call button 2801. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the outgoing call button 2801, the electronic device may enter Figure 28 The interface shown in b. Figure 28 In the interface shown in , the electronic device displays the third-level menu area, and does not display the top menu area and the second-level menu area. The third-level menu area may include all the secondary high-frequency buttons in the photo mode. Due to the limited specifications of the Aoki, the electronic device may display some of the secondary high-frequency buttons in the third-level menu area. When a downward sliding operation is received in the third-level menu area, the electronic device may display more secondary high-frequency buttons along with the sliding operation. Optionally, when the electronic device receives a downward sliding operation in the top menu area, the electronic device may also Figure 28 The interface shown in a in the figure switches to Figure 28 The interface shown in b.

[0243] exist Figure 28 In the interface shown in b, the third-level menu area also includes a retract button 2802. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the retract button 2802, the electronic device can enter Figure 28 Optionally, when the electronic device receives a click operation in an area other than the third-level menu area in the viewing area, the electronic device may also switch from the third-level menu area to the second-level menu area.

[0244] Similarly, the electronic device can enter the fourth level menu area based on the function button in the third level menu area, such as Figure 29 As shown:

[0245] In Figure 29 in the interface shown in a of Figure 29 , the three - level menu area includes a flash button 2901. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the flash button 2901, the electronic device can display an interface as shown in Figure 29 b of Figure 29 . Figure 29 In the interface shown in b of Figure 29 , the electronic device displays a four - level menu area. The four - level menu area includes an expanded flash button. For example, a flash constant - on button 2902, a flash turn - on button 2903, a flash turn - off button 2904, and a flash auto button 2905.

[0246] In Figure 29 in the interface shown in b of Figure 29 , the four - level menu area also includes a return button 2906. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the return button 2906, the electronic device can return to Figure 29 the interface shown in a of Figure 29 , returning from the four - level menu area to the three - level menu area.

[0247] In Figure 29 in the interface shown in b of Figure 29 , when the electronic device receives a click operation in the shooting area, the electronic device can return to Figure 28 the interface shown in a of Figure 28 , returning from the four - level menu area to the two - level menu area.

[0248] It can be understood that the camera application interface in the foldable mobile phone is similar to the camera application interface of the mobile phone, and reference can be made to the relevant description in Figures 2 - 27 Figures 2 - 27 . For example, in the camera application interface of the foldable mobile phone, the arrangement rule of the function buttons in the three - level menu area can be referred to the embodiment shown in Figure 3 Figure 3 ; among them, the three - level menu area in the mobile phone can be arranged from left to right in the order of special functions, common functions, and less - common functions; the three - level menu area in the foldable mobile phone can be arranged from bottom to top in the order of special functions, common functions, and less - common functions. The embodiments of the present application will not repeat the description of the camera application interface in the foldable mobile phone.

[0249] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a display method for the camera application interface of a foldable electronic device, enriching the camera application scenarios; the three - level menu area can display all sub - high - frequency buttons, and users do not need to search for sub - high - frequency buttons based on the setting buttons in the two - level menu area, simplifying user operations; at the same time, the function buttons in the three - level menu area correspond to button names, improving the readability of functions and enhancing the user's photo - taking experience.

[0250] It can be understood that the interface provided in the embodiments of the present application is only an example and does not constitute a limitation to the embodiments of the present application.

[0251] It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) involved in this application are all information and data that have been authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties. And the collection, use, and processing of relevant data need to comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards of relevant countries and regions, and corresponding operation entrances are provided for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0252] Based on the above embodiments, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying a camera application interface. Exemplarily, Figure 30 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for displaying a camera application interface provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0253] As Figure 30 shown, the method for displaying the camera application interface may include the following steps:

[0254] S3001. The electronic device displays a first interface; wherein, the camera mode of the electronic device is a first mode, the first interface includes a first area, a second area, and a third area, the first area includes a first mode button and buttons for multiple camera modes; the second area includes multiple first-type buttons corresponding to the first mode; the third area includes multiple second-type buttons corresponding to the first mode; the first-type buttons and the second-type buttons are different; the first area and the second area are adjacent, and the first area is not adjacent to the third area.

[0255] Among them, the first interface may correspond to a camera application interface with a secondary menu area displayed in each camera mode. For example, Figure 2 the interface shown in a of Figure 10 the interface shown in b of Figure 11 the interface shown in b of Figure 12 the interface shown in a of Figure 12 the interface shown in b of Figure 2 etc., and the embodiments of the present application will not list them one by one. The first mode may be the camera mode in the first-level menu area of the first interface that is in a selected state; the first mode includes modes such as aperture, night scene, portrait, photo, video, movie, professional, more, etc. For example, in Figure 10 the interface shown in a of

[0256] Taking the first interface as Figure 2Taking the interface shown as a in [description] as an example, the first area can be a primary menu area, the second area can be a secondary menu area, and the third area can be a top menu area; the first type of button can correspond to the frequently used buttons in the secondary menu area, and the second type of button can correspond to the less frequently used buttons in the top menu area and / or the tertiary menu area. Among them, in the camera application interface, the primary menu area and the secondary menu area are often located in the lower-middle area, and the top menu area is located in the upper-middle area, making it inconvenient for users to use the less frequently used buttons in the top menu area with one hand.

[0257] S3002. The electronic device receives a first operation.

[0258] The first operation can be an operation to call out the tertiary menu area; for example, the first operation can be a trigger operation on the call button 209 in the interface shown as a in [description]; the first operation can also be a swiping-up operation in the shooting area, etc. Figure 2 in the interface shown as a in [description]; the first operation can also be a swiping-up operation in the shooting area, etc.

[0259] S3003. In response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a second interface; where the camera mode of the electronic device is the first mode, and the second interface includes a first area, a third area, and a fourth area; the first area includes a first mode button and buttons for multiple camera modes; the third area includes multiple second-type buttons corresponding to the first mode; the fourth area includes multiple second-type buttons corresponding to the first mode; the position of the fourth area on the display screen of the electronic device and the position of the second area on the display screen of the electronic device at least partially overlap; the first area is adjacent to the fourth area.

[0260] The second interface can correspond to the camera application interface with a tertiary menu area displayed in each camera mode. For example, Figure 2 the interface shown as b in [description], Figure 14 the interface shown as b in [description], and Figure 16 the interface shown as a in [description], etc.

[0261] Taking the second interface as Figure 2[[END the interface shown as b in [description] as an example, the first area can be a primary menu area, the third area can be a top menu area, and the fourth area can be a tertiary menu area. The tertiary menu area displays multiple less frequently used buttons, and the top menu area also displays multiple less frequently used buttons. The display positions of the tertiary menu area and the secondary menu area relative to the display screen partially or completely overlap. It can be understood that the electronic device replaces the frequently used buttons in the secondary menu area with the less frequently used buttons in the tertiary menu area.

[0262] In this way, the third-level menu area is adjacent to the first-level menu area, so the third-level menu area is also located in the middle and lower part of the camera application interface. Users can conveniently use one hand to operate the function buttons in the third-level menu area, achieving a convenient operation experience of calling out the sub-high-frequency buttons with one hand. Moreover, the positions of the third-level menu area and the second-level menu area are roughly the same, without occupying additional screen display controls and without increasing the control display area. At the same time, the top menu area retains the sub-high-frequency buttons, and users can use the top menu area or the third-level menu area to turn on the sub-high-frequency buttons according to their preferences and habits, enriching the application scenarios of the function buttons and enhancing the user experience.

[0263] Optionally, in the second interface, some or all of the second-type buttons in the third area are the same as those in the fourth area. It further includes: in the second interface, the electronic device scrolls and displays all the second-type buttons in the first mode based on the sliding operation in the fourth area.

[0264] Among them, the function buttons in the top menu area and the third-level menu area can be the same. For example, ​ in the interface shown in b of ​ , both the top menu area and the bottom menu area display the flash button. In addition, the third-level menu area can display more sub-high-frequency buttons based on the left and right sliding operations. For example, in ​ , when swiping left on the third-level menu area in the interface shown in b of ​ , it enters the interface shown in c of ​ ; in the interface shown in c of

[0265] , when swiping right on the third-level menu area, it enters the interface shown in b of

[0266] In this way, the third-level menu area can include all the function buttons in the top menu area. When operating with one hand, users do not need to click on the top menu area anymore, but can find the corresponding buttons in the top menu area in the third-level menu area and perform one-handed operations. At the same time, when the function buttons that the user wants to use are not included in the top menu area, the user does not need to search through the settings button in the top menu area, but can conveniently find the button in the third-level menu area, thus simplifying the user operation and enhancing the user experience.

[0267] The embodiments of the present application can refer to ​According to the relevant description in the illustrated embodiment, for example, the sub-high-frequency buttons may include buttons with specific functions, frequently used buttons, and less frequently used buttons. Among them, the top menu area includes some frequently used buttons and some less frequently used buttons.

[0268] In this way, the electronic device can preferentially provide the user with the specific functions and frequently used functions in the current mode. The buttons of the specific functions and frequently used functions have a higher usage probability, which can reduce the operation of the user sliding left and right to switch the function buttons in the three-level menu area, and improve the user experience.

[0269] Optionally, after the electronic device displays the second interface, it includes: in the second interface, the electronic device receives a second operation for the second type of button in the fourth area; in response to the second operation, the electronic device displays the third interface; wherein, the camera mode of the electronic device is the first mode, and the third interface includes a first area, a third area, and a fifth area; the fifth area includes a plurality of third types of buttons, and the plurality of third types of buttons correspond to the second type of buttons under different specifications; the position of the fifth area on the display screen of the electronic device and the position of the fourth area on the display screen of the electronic device at least partially overlap, and the first area is adjacent to the fifth area.

[0270] Among them, the second interface can be, for example ​ the interface shown in a of ​ ; the second type of button can be, for example, the ratio button 501, and the third interface can be, for example the interface shown in b of

[0271] . The fifth area can be a four-level menu area, and the electronic device can switch from the three-level menu area to the four-level menu area. The third type of button can be the second type of button under different specifications. For example, the ratio button 501 corresponds to multiple specifications of 4:3, 1:1, and full screen. The third type of button can be, for example, the 4:3 ratio button 502, the 1:1 ratio button 503, and the full screen ratio button 504.

[0272] Optionally, it further includes: the electronic device displays the fourth interface; wherein, the camera mode of the electronic device is the second mode, and the fourth interface includes a third area and a fifth area; the third area includes a first button, the fifth area includes a second button and a third button, the first button is in the off state, the second button is in the on state, and the third button is in the off state; the electronic device receives an operation for the first button; in response to the operation for the first button, the electronic device displays the fifth interface; wherein, the camera mode of the electronic device is the second mode, the fifth interface includes a third area and a fifth area, the first button is in the on state, the third button is in the on state, and the second button is in the unavailable state.

[0273] Among them, the fourth interface can be, for example, ​ the interface shown as b in ​ . The second mode can be a video recording mode. The fourth interface includes a top menu area and a four-level menu area. The first button can be the night scene enhancement button 1304 in the off state in the top menu area, the second button can be the 4K resolution button 1303 in the on state in the four-level menu area, and the third button can be the 1080P resolution button 1302 in the off state in the four-level menu area; after the night scene enhancement is turned on, the fifth interface is displayed, such as

[0274] the interface shown as c in

[0275] . When the night scene enhancement button 1304 is on, the 1080P resolution button 1302 is on, and the 4K resolution button 1303 is grayed out.

[0276] In this way, the priority of the night scene enhancement button is higher than that of the resolution button. When the functions and / or specifications of the two function buttons are mutually exclusive, the electronic device can preferentially turn on the function button with the higher priority and gray out the function button with the lower priority; by graying out to inform the user that the button is unavailable, the scenario of user error operations can be reduced. ​ the prompt message 1305 in the interface shown as d in

[0277] . In this way, when the user clicks the grayed-out button, the electronic device can prompt the user that the button is unavailable and the reason for the unavailability through the first prompt message.

[0278] Optionally, the priority of the first button is higher than that of the second button.

[0279] In the embodiments of the present application, in a mutually exclusive scenario, the priorities of functions from high to low can be: other functions, aspect ratio functions, resolution functions, and frame rate functions.
