Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to display methods and related devices for camera application interfaces. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic devices can be equipped with cameras, allowing users to take photos using the camera app in various camera modes. These modes include photo mode, video mode, movie mode, and portrait mode.

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

[0004] However, there may be some issues when using these function buttons. For example, they are not suitable for one-handed operation. In one possible implementation, the function buttons are often arranged on the side closest to the front-facing camera, making it inconvenient for users to operate these function buttons when holding the electronic device with one hand to take pictures; thus affecting the user's shooting experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a method and related device for displaying a camera application interface, which is applied to the field of terminal technology. It provides a way to take pictures that is easy to operate with one hand. The electronic device can call up a menu area for displaying the shooting function button in the lower middle of the camera application interface, so that the user can select the function button with one hand.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application propose a method for displaying a camera application interface, applied to an electronic device. The method includes: the electronic device displaying 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 multiple camera mode buttons; 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 and the third area are not adjacent; 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 multiple camera mode buttons; 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 at least partially overlaps with the position of the second area on the display screen of the electronic device; the first area and the fourth area are adjacent. In this way, with the third-level menu area adjacent to the first-level menu area, the third-level menu area is also located in the lower middle part of the camera application interface. Users can easily operate the function buttons in the third-level menu area with one hand, achieving a convenient one-handed operation experience for the second most frequently used buttons. Furthermore, the third-level menu area is roughly in the same position as the second-level menu area, without occupying additional screen display controls or increasing the control display area. At the same time, the top menu area retains the second most frequently used buttons, allowing users to use either the top menu area or the third-level menu area to activate the second most frequently used buttons according to their preferences and habits, enriching the application scenarios of the function buttons and improving the user experience.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the second type of buttons in the third area of ​​the second interface are partially or entirely the same as the second type of buttons in the fourth area; it also includes: in the second interface, the electronic device scrolls and displays all the second type of buttons in the first mode based on a swipe 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, the user does not need to go to the top menu area to click, but can find the corresponding button in the top menu area in the three-level menu area and perform one-handed operation. At the same time, when the top menu area does not include the function button the user wants to use, the user does not need to search through the settings button in the top menu area, but can conveniently find the button in the three-level menu area, thereby simplifying user operation and improving the user experience.

[0008] In one possible implementation, in the second interface, the second type of buttons in the fourth area are arranged based on priority. Within this second type of button, the first sub-button has a higher priority than the second sub-button, and the second sub-button has a higher priority than the third sub-button. The first sub-button corresponds to the first camera mode and is not associated with other camera modes. The second sub-button is the second type of button whose usage frequency exceeds a threshold. The third sub-button is the second type of button whose usage frequency is less than or equal to the threshold. The third area includes some of the second and third sub-buttons. This allows the electronic device to prioritize providing users with functions specific to the current mode and frequently used functions. Since buttons for specific and frequently used functions have a higher probability of use, this reduces the need for users to swipe left and right to switch between function buttons in the three-level menu area, thus improving the user experience.

[0009] In one possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the second interface, the process includes: in the second interface, the electronic device receives a second operation on a second type of button in a fourth area; in response to the second operation, the electronic device displays a third interface; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is a first mode, and the third interface includes a first area, a third area, and a fifth area; the fifth area includes multiple third type buttons, which correspond to second type buttons of different specifications; the position of the fifth area on the display screen of the electronic device at least partially overlaps with the position of the fourth area on the display screen of the electronic device, and the first area and the fifth area are adjacent. Thus, the fourth-level menu area is roughly in the same position as the third-level menu area, and the fourth-level menu area is also located in the lower center of the camera application interface. Users can conveniently select different specifications of function buttons in the fourth-level menu using one-handed operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the device further includes: displaying a fourth interface; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is a second mode, and the fourth interface includes a third area and a fifth area; the third area includes a first button, and the fifth area includes a second button and a third button, wherein the first button is in a closed state, the second button is in a closed state, and the third button is in a closed 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; 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 a closed state, the third button is in a closed state, and the second button is disabled. In this way, the night scene enhancement button has a higher priority than the resolution button. When the functions and / or specifications of the two function buttons are mutually exclusive, the electronic device can prioritize enabling the higher-priority function button and gray out the lower-priority function button; by graying out the button, the user is informed that the button is unavailable, which can reduce the scenario of user error.

[0011] In one possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the fifth interface, the process includes: the electronic device receiving an operation on the second button in the fifth interface; in response to the operation on the second button, the electronic device displaying a first prompt message in the fifth interface; the first prompt message indicating that the second button is unavailable when the first button is active. Thus, when a user clicks the grayed-out button, the electronic device can notify the user that the button is unavailable and the reason for its unavailability via the first prompt message.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the first button has a higher priority than the second button. This way, when the functions and / or specifications of the two buttons are mutually exclusive, the electronic device can prioritize enabling the higher-priority button and gray out the lower-priority button. By graying out the button, the user is informed that it is unavailable, reducing the likelihood of user error.

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

[0014] In one possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the sixth interface, the following steps are also included: In the sixth interface, the electronic device receives a fifth operation; in response to the fifth operation, the electronic device displays an eighth interface; wherein the seventh interface includes a fourth area; the fourth area includes a sixth button; and the sixth button is in an unavailable state. Thus, in some scenarios, the electronic device can also assign priorities to two mutually exclusive function buttons. When the function button with higher priority is enabled, the function button with lower priority is grayed out; by graying out the button to inform the user that it is unavailable, the possibility of user error can be reduced.

[0015] In one possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the eighth interface, the process includes: the electronic device receiving an operation on the sixth button; in response to the operation on the sixth button, the electronic device displaying a second prompt message on the eighth interface; the second prompt message indicating that the sixth button is unavailable when the fourth button is enabled. Thus, when a user clicks a grayed-out button, the electronic device can notify the user via the second prompt message that the button is unavailable and the reason for its unavailability.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the device further includes: displaying a ninth interface; wherein the electronic device is in a second mode under the rear camera, the ninth interface includes a third area, a fourth area, and a seventh button, both the third and fourth areas include an eighth button, the seventh button being used to switch between the front and rear cameras; the electronic device receives an operation on the seventh button; in response to the operation on the seventh button, the electronic device displays a tenth interface; wherein the electronic device is in a second mode under the front camera, the tenth interface includes a third area and a fourth area, neither of which includes the eighth button. In this way, when the front / rear camera does not support a certain function, the electronic device does not display the corresponding function button in the corresponding scenario, improving the simplicity of the interface and reducing user error.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the device further includes: an eleventh interface displayed by the electronic device; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is a fourth mode, and the eleventh interface includes a third area and a fourth area, the third area including a ninth button, and the fourth area not including a 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 on the eleventh interface; the third prompt message is used to indicate that in the fourth mode, the electronic device only supports the specification shown by the ninth button. Thus, 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 not in the third-level menu area, and the specification in the top menu area cannot be changed; thereby reducing user error and providing prompts to the user through the third prompt message.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the device further includes: displaying a twelfth interface; wherein the twelfth interface includes multiple setting buttons; each setting button is accompanied by first explanatory information; the first explanatory information explains the available scenarios and functions of the setting buttons. In this way, users can understand the available scenarios and functions of the setting buttons based on the first explanatory information; furthermore, users can enable the setting buttons in most scenarios, without needing to meet specific conditions to enable them. For example, the "one record, multiple access" button is used in rear-view recording or movie mode. When not in this scenario, the electronic device can also toggle the "one record, multiple access" button on and off, thereby reducing grayed-out scenarios when the button is unavailable, improving the aesthetics of the camera application interface, and increasing the usage rate of the setting buttons.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the device further includes displaying a thirteenth interface when the tenth button is enabled. This thirteenth interface includes a first settings button, which is disabled. The first settings button also has corresponding second explanatory information explaining that the first settings button is disabled when the tenth button is enabled. This way, when a function is mutually exclusive with the settings button, the electronic device can gray out the settings button and provide the reason for graying it out, reducing user errors.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the device further includes: when the electronic device is not in the fifth mode, displaying a fourteenth interface; wherein the fourteenth interface includes a second settings button, which is enabled; and when the electronic device is in the fifth mode, displaying a fifteenth interface; wherein the fifteenth interface includes a second settings button, which is disabled; the second settings button is accompanied by third explanatory information explaining that the second settings button is disabled in the current mode. In this way, when the functions of the current mode and the settings button are mutually exclusive, the electronic device can gray out the settings button and inform the user of the reason for the graying out, thereby reducing user errors.

[0021] One possible implementation also includes: when the electronic device is using the rear camera, it displays a sixteenth interface; the sixteenth interface includes a third settings button; when the electronic device is using the front camera, it displays a seventeenth interface; the seventeenth interface does not include the third settings button. In this way, when the front / rear camera does not support a certain function, the electronic device does not display the settings button for that function in the corresponding scenario, improving the simplicity of the interface and reducing user errors.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the second interface includes a tenth button and an eleventh button in both the third and fourth areas. The tenth button in the third area has the same on / off state as the tenth button in the fourth area; the eleventh button in the third area has the same specifications as the eleventh button in the fourth area. This allows the top menu area and the three-level menu area in the camera application interface to change in tandem, improving the accuracy of the function buttons in both areas.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the electronic device further includes: displaying 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 multiple thirteenth buttons, each corresponding to a twelfth button of different specifications, and each thirteenth button contains corresponding image information. Thus, when an operation on a sliding panel-type button is received in the top menu area, the electronic device can display different specifications of that button in the fourth-level menu area, improving the linkage between the top menu area and the fourth-level menu area.

[0024] Secondly, this application proposes a method for displaying a camera application interface, applied to a foldable electronic device, comprising: the electronic device displaying 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 multiple camera mode buttons; 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 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-type 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. Thus, this application embodiment provides a display method for the camera application interface of a foldable electronic device, enriching camera application scenarios; the three-level menu area can display all the second most frequently used buttons, so users no longer need to search for the second most frequently used buttons based on the settings buttons in the second-level menu area, simplifying user operation; at the same time, the function buttons in the three-level menu area have corresponding button names, improving the readability of the functions and enhancing the user's photography experience.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the device further includes: in the second interface, the electronic device scrolls to display all the second-type buttons in the first mode based on a swipe operation in the fourth area. This way, the three-level menu area can include all the function buttons in the top menu area. When operating with one hand, the user does not need to go to the top menu area to click; instead, they can find the corresponding button in the third-level menu area and operate with one hand. Simultaneously, if the top menu area does not include the function button the user wants to use, the user does not need to search through the settings button in the top menu area; instead, they can conveniently find the button in the third-level menu area, thus simplifying user operation and improving the user experience.

[0026] In one possible implementation, in the second interface, the second type of buttons in the fourth area are arranged based on priority. Specifically, within this second type of button, the first sub-button has a higher priority than the second sub-button, and the second sub-button has a higher priority than the third sub-button. The first sub-button corresponds to the first camera mode and is not associated with other camera modes. The second sub-button is the second type of button whose usage frequency exceeds a threshold. The third sub-button is the second type of button whose usage frequency is less than or equal to the threshold. This allows the electronic device to prioritize providing users with features specific to the current mode and frequently used functions. Since these features have a higher probability of use, the need for users to swipe left and right to switch between function buttons in the three-level menu area is reduced, improving the user experience.

[0027] In one possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the second interface, the process includes: in the second interface, the electronic device receives a second operation on a second type of button in a fourth area; in response to the second operation, the electronic device displays a third interface; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is a first mode, and the third interface includes a first area and a fifth area; the fifth area includes multiple third type buttons, which correspond to second type buttons of different specifications; the position of the fifth area on the display screen of the electronic device at least partially overlaps with the position of the fourth area on the display screen of the electronic device. This allows the user to conveniently select different specifications of function buttons in a four-level menu, thereby improving the user experience.

[0028] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which may also be referred to as a terminal device, terminal, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc. Terminal devices can be mobile phones, smart TVs, wearable devices, tablets, computers with wireless transceiver capabilities, virtual reality (VR) terminal devices, augmented reality (AR) terminal devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, and so on.

[0029] The electronic device includes: a processor and a memory; the memory stores computer-executable instructions; the processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, causing the terminal device to perform the methods of the first aspect and / or the second aspect.

[0066] To facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used in the embodiments of this application to indicate that they are examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0067] In this application embodiment, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, ab, ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0068] It should be noted that the phrase "at...time" in the embodiments of this application can refer to the instant at which a certain situation occurs, or to a period of time after the occurrence of a certain situation; the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this. Furthermore, the display interface provided in the embodiments of this application is merely an example, and the display interface may include more or less content.

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

[0070] In camera application interfaces, the areas used to display content can generally be divided into the shutter area, menu area, and framing area. For example, Figure 1 Taking a mobile phone as an example, the display areas of the camera application interface of an electronic device, from bottom to top, include: shutter area, bottom menu area, framing area, and top menu area.

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

[0072] The bottom menu area provides multiple camera mode buttons and corresponding function buttons for each camera mode. Camera modes include: Aperture (also known as large aperture), Night Scene, Portrait, Photo, Video, Movie, Professional, and More modes. Taking Photo mode as an example, the function buttons corresponding to Photo mode in the bottom menu area could be Sports Mode button 101 and Zoom button 102, etc. The function buttons corresponding to Photo mode can be arranged above the camera mode buttons in the bottom menu area.

[0073] The viewing area can be used to display images captured by cameras in real time.

[0074] The top menu area can be set with multiple commonly used function buttons in this camera mode. For example, from left to right, the top menu area displays the flash button 103, the live photo button 104, the AI ​​photography button 105, the HDR button 106, the filter button 107, and the settings button 108. The electronic device can respond to the operation of the function buttons to realize the corresponding shooting function.

[0075] From the possible implementations, the camera application interface shows that when a 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 increases the difficulty of operation when using one hand and reduces the user experience.

[0076] In view of this, this application provides a method for displaying a camera application interface. When the electronic device is in a first mode, the bottom menu area can display the same buttons as the top menu area; for example, second-type buttons, which users can conveniently trigger with one hand in the bottom menu area. Furthermore, to improve the simplicity of the interface, the electronic device can conveniently bring up or hide the second-type buttons from the bottom menu area via a call-up button or a collapse button; for example, when the second-type buttons are not brought up in the bottom menu area, the electronic device displays first-type buttons, such as... Figure 1 The camera interface includes a sports mode button 101 and a zoom button 102. When the second type of button is accessed from the bottom menu area, the first type of button is not displayed on the electronic device. This solves the inconvenience of one-handed operation without affecting the simplicity and aesthetics of the camera application interface, thus improving the user experience.

[0077] To facilitate the explanation of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the following will first be combined with Figure 2 The present application provides a detailed description of each display area in the camera application interface and the buttons that can be displayed in each display area.

[0078] In this embodiment, the bottom menu area may include a camera mode button and function buttons. For ease of distinction, the area in the bottom menu area used to display the camera mode button can be defined as the first-level menu area; the area used to display the function buttons can be defined as the second-level menu area. Figure 2 The interface shown in Figure 'a' includes the following buttons in the primary menu area: Aperture, Night Scene, Portrait, Photo, Video, Movie, and Pro. The secondary menu area includes the following buttons: Sports Mode (201) and Zoom (202).

[0079] Understandably, due to the limited size of the camera application interface, it may not be able to display all camera modes. The primary menu area may include more modes, and electronic devices can display more modes based on left / right swiping operations in the primary menu area.

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

[0081] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, in any camera mode, the function buttons can be divided into high-frequency buttons and second-highest-frequency buttons based on their usage frequency. High-frequency buttons can be, for example, function buttons in the secondary menu area, and second-highest-frequency buttons can be, for example, function buttons in the top menu area. For example, in... Figure 2 In the interface shown in Figure a, in photo mode, the high-frequency buttons can be the sports mode button 201 and the zoom button 202; the next high-frequency buttons can be the flash button 203, the live photo button 204, the AI ​​photography button 205, the HDR button 206, the filter button 207, and the settings button 208.

[0082] The top menu area only displays a portion of the secondary high-frequency buttons. If a user wants to use a function button not displayed in the top menu area, the electronic device can display more secondary high-frequency buttons based on the operation performed on the settings button 208.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, another method for displaying the second-highest frequency button in the camera mode is provided. For example, in Figure 2 In the interface shown in Figure a, a call-up button 209 is also displayed in the first-level menu area. The call-up button 209 can be used to call up the third-level menu area. The third-level menu area is used to display some or all of the less frequently used buttons; it can also be called a "shallow-level function area." For example, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the call-up button 209, the electronic device can display something like... Figure 2 The interface shown in b is shown in the image.

[0084] Figure 2In the interface shown in b, the bottom menu area can include a primary menu area and a tertiary menu area. The primary menu area includes multiple camera mode buttons, such as an aperture button, a night scene button, a portrait button, a photo button, a video recording button, a movie button, and a pro button. The tertiary menu area includes multiple function buttons corresponding to the current camera mode. For example, in photo mode, the tertiary menu area can include a subject focus button 210, a aspect ratio button 211 (also known as a sensor size button), an exposure button 212, a flash button 213, and a video / photo button 214.

[0085] As can be seen, the third-level menu area and the second-level menu area can partially overlap, and when the electronic device displays the third-level menu area, the function buttons in the second-level menu area are no longer displayed. For example... Figure 2 The sports mode button and zoom button are not displayed in the interface shown in b.

[0086] It should be noted that due to the limitations of camera application interfaces, it may not be possible to display all function buttons simultaneously in the three-level menu area. The three-level menu area can also include more function buttons, and electronic devices can display more function buttons based on left / right swiping operations within the three-level menu area. For example, in Figure 2 In the interface shown in b, when the electronic device receives a leftward swipe trigger operation in the three-level menu area, the electronic device can display as follows: Figure 2 The interface shown in 'c'. For example, in... Figure 2 In the interface shown in Figure c, when the electronic device receives a right-swipe trigger operation in the three-level menu area, the electronic device can display as follows: Figure 2 The interface shown in b is shown in the image.

[0087] exist Figure 2 In the interface shown in c, the three-level 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 one possible implementation, the three-level menu area may include all the second-highest frequency buttons corresponding to the current camera mode. For example, in photo mode, the second-highest frequency buttons that can be displayed in the three-level menu area include the subject focus button, aspect ratio button, exposure button, flash button, live photo button, AI photography button, HDR button, filter button, watermark button, timer button, and settings button. The top menu area only displays some of these second-highest frequency buttons, such as the flash button, live photo button, AI photography button, HDR button, filter button, and settings button.

[0089] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can access the three-level menu area by clicking the call-up button 209. The electronic device can also access the three-level menu area through other methods, for example, in... Figure 2 In the interface shown in Figure 'a', the electronic device receives an upward swipe operation in the viewing area; in response to the upward swipe operation, the electronic device can display as follows: Figure 2 The interface shown in b is shown in the example. This application does not limit the method of calling up the three-level menu area.

[0090] Optionally, in this embodiment, the function button icons in the three-level menu area may be labeled with the names of the function buttons. Users can understand the functions supported by the function buttons through their names, reducing the need for users to search for target function buttons among many buttons when they do not know the icons; this simplifies user operations and improves the user experience.

[0091] It is understandable that, to facilitate the differentiation of function buttons in the second-level menu area, third-level menu area, and top menu area, functions in the second-level menu area are defined as high-frequency buttons, and function buttons in the third-level menu area and / or top menu area are defined as second-highest-frequency buttons. However, in practical applications, the usage frequency of high-frequency buttons may be lower than that of second-highest-frequency buttons, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0092] from Figure 2 The interface shown in b in the figure and Figure 2 As shown in the interface (image c), the three-level menu area can be displayed by sliding left or right, allowing users to view all function buttons within the menu. The following example uses the camera mode. Figure 3 The layout rules of the function buttons in the three-level menu area in the embodiments of this application are described.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device displays a camera application interface, which includes a three-level menu area displaying some function buttons. These function buttons may include, for example, a subject focus button, a scaling 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 settings buttons.

[0094] In one possible implementation, the electronic device can prioritize displaying buttons specific to the photo-taking function, such as the subject focus button; these buttons can be understood as those usable only in photo-taking mode and unusable in other modes. The electronic device can then prioritize displaying buttons for frequently used functions in photo-taking mode, such as the aspect ratio button, exposure button, flash button, live photo button, AI photography button, HDR button, and filter button; these buttons can be universal buttons applicable to multiple camera modes, for example, the aspect ratio button can be used in photo-taking and video-recording modes. Finally, the electronic device can display buttons for less frequently used functions, such as the watermark button, timer button, and settings button.

[0095] In this embodiment, frequently used buttons can be general buttons with high usage frequency as determined by big data statistics, while less frequently used buttons can be general buttons with lower usage frequency as determined by big data statistics. Alternatively, frequently used buttons can be general buttons with high usage frequency as determined by user habits, while less frequently used buttons can be general buttons with lower usage frequency as determined by user habits. In this embodiment, the order of function buttons in the three-level menu area can be fixed or variable, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. Furthermore, this embodiment only uses the photo-taking mode as an example to illustrate the layout rules of function buttons in the three-level menu area, and this example does not limit the order of function buttons.

[0096] The above embodiments use the photo-taking mode as an example to describe the first-level menu area, the second-level menu area, and the third-level menu area in this application embodiment. The following is a brief description of the second-highest frequency buttons in the top menu area and the third-level menu area corresponding to each camera mode, as well as the high-frequency buttons in the second-level menu area.

[0097] For example, in aperture mode, the secondary menu area includes an aperture button, the tertiary menu area includes an aspect ratio button and a settings button, and the top menu area includes a settings button.

[0098] In Night Mode, the secondary menu area includes a zoom button, the tertiary menu area includes a frame size button and a settings button, and the top menu area includes a settings button.

[0099] In portrait mode, the secondary menu area includes zoom, beauty, and bokeh buttons; the tertiary menu area includes ratio, flash, and settings buttons; and the top menu area includes flash and settings buttons.

[0100] In photo mode, the secondary menu area includes a zoom button and a sports mode button, the tertiary menu area includes a 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, and the top menu area includes a flash button, a live photo button, an AI photography button, an HDR button, a filter button, and a settings button.

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

[0102] In movie mode, the secondary menu area includes a beauty button, a zoom button, and a bokeh button; the tertiary menu area includes a time-lapse button, a slow motion button, a LOG button, a ratio button, a resolution button, a frame rate button, a flash button, a LUT button, an HDR video button, a watermark button, a timer button, and a settings button; and the top menu area includes a flash button, a resolution button, a frame rate button, a LUT button, and a settings button.

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

[0104] You can also choose from camera modes such as slow motion, panorama, time-lapse photography, watermark, document correction, super macro, multi-lens video recording, short film, and super night scene, which will not be listed here.

[0105] The above embodiments only exemplify the high-frequency and second-highest-frequency buttons in various modes, but this example should not limit the function buttons in the embodiments of this application. In the embodiments of this application, the high-frequency and second-highest-frequency buttons corresponding to each mode can also be other buttons, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0106] The above embodiments describe the process of accessing the three-level menu area and the arrangement rules of the function buttons within it. The following section uses a mobile phone as an example to further illustrate the usage of the three-level menu area in several scenarios.

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

[0108] Scenario 2: Interaction between the level 2 and level 3 menu areas and the top menu area.

[0109] Scenario 3: Interaction between function buttons when switching camera modes.

[0110] Scenario 4: Mutual exclusion scenario when the functions of the function button and / or camera mode button conflict.

[0111] Scenario 5: Exiting the third-level menu area.

[0112] Scenario 6: A scenario where all function buttons are evenly distributed across different camera modes.

[0113] For example, the following is combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 The usage scenario of the function buttons in the three-level menu area in Scenario 1 is explained.

[0114] In the camera application interface, the electronic device can display a three-level menu area. The function buttons in this menu area can be classified into two types: first-type buttons and second-type buttons. First-type buttons are those that toggle the on / off state when triggered; second-type buttons are those that expand upon triggering. For example, a first-type button could be a live photo button, and a second-type button could be a zoom button. The usage scenarios for the two types of buttons are as follows:

[0115] Taking the camera mode and live photo button as examples, when the electronic device is in camera mode, it can display something like this: Figure 4 The interface shown in Figure 'a'. Figure 4 The interface shown in Figure 'a' displays a three-level menu area, including a live photo button 401, which is currently in the off state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the live photo button 401, the electronic device displays as shown below. Figure 4 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 4 In the interface shown in b, the Live Photo button 401 is in the on state. When the Live Photo button 401 is in the on state, the electronic device can take pictures using the Live Photo function.

[0116] Taking the camera mode and aspect ratio button as an example, when the electronic device is in camera mode, it can display something like this: Figure 5 The interface shown in Figure 'a'. Figure 5 The interface shown in Figure 'a' displays a three-level menu area, which includes a ratio button 501. The icon of the ratio button 501 indicates that the ratio of the current pictorial area is 4:3.

[0117] Understandably, the aspect ratio button 501 may include multiple aspect ratios, such as 4:3, 1:1, full screen, etc. The user needs to select from multiple aspect ratios. At this time, the electronic device can display a fourth-level menu area based on the trigger operation of the aspect ratio button 501 in the third-level menu area. The fourth-level menu area displays multiple aspect ratio buttons in an expanded state.

[0118] For example, in Figure 5 In the interface shown in Figure a, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the proportional button 501, the electronic device can enter as follows: Figure 5 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 5 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays a four-level menu area, which can overlap with the three-level menu area. The four-level menu area includes a 4:3 aspect ratio button 502, a 1:1 aspect ratio button 503, and a full-screen aspect ratio button 504. The 4:3 aspect ratio button 502 is in the on state, and the aspect ratio of the selected area is 4:3.

[0119] When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the 1:1 ratio button 503, the electronic device can enter as follows: Figure 5 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 5 In the interface shown in b, the 4:3 ratio button 502 is in the off state, and the 1:1 ratio button 503 is in the on state. When the 1:1 ratio button 503 is in the on 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 using the following method:

[0121] In one possible implementation, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on any proportional button in the fourth-level menu area, and a preset time has elapsed after the trigger, 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 on the 1:1 ratio button 503 and enters... Figure 5 The interface shown in c; and the electronic device display Figure 5 When the preset time is reached, the electronic device can return to the interface shown in 'c'. Figure 5 The interface shown in 'a' is as follows. The preset duration can be, for example, 1 second, or other values.

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

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

[0125] This application embodiment uses only the first type of button (an animated photo button) and the second type of button (a scale button) as examples to illustrate different scenarios in which the two types of buttons are used. Both the first and second types of buttons can be other types of buttons, and the above examples do not limit the solutions in this application embodiment.

[0126] For example, the following is combined with Figures 6-9 The interaction between the third-level menu area and the top menu area in Scenario 2 is explained.

[0127] Figure 6 This document illustrates a schematic diagram of the interface of a camera application provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown:

[0128] In the camera application interface, the top menu area can include sliding panel-type buttons and non-sliding panel-type buttons. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on a non-sliding panel-type button, it can respond by displaying the expanded non-sliding panel-type button in the top menu area or toggling its on / off state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on a sliding panel-type button, it can respond by displaying the expanded sliding panel-type button in the third-level menu area.

[0129] For example, sliding panel buttons can be filter buttons and LUT buttons, while non-sliding panel buttons can include live photo buttons, flash buttons, resolution buttons, and frame rate buttons.

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

[0131] For non-sliding panel buttons, take the flash button as an example. Figure 7 In the interface shown in Figure 'a', the electronic device is in camera mode and can display a top menu area, which includes a stowed flash button 701. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the flash button 701, it displays the following... Figure 7 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 7In the interface shown in b, the collapsed flash button 701 is transformed into multiple expanded flash buttons, such as the auto flash button 702, the flash off button 703, the flash on button 704, and the constant flash button 705. 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 on the flash on button 704, the electronic device displays as shown in the image. Figure 7 The interface shown in c is shown in the image. 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 buttons, take the LUT button as an example. Figure 8 In the interface shown in Figure 'a', the electronic device is in movie mode and can display a top menu area, which includes a LUT button 801. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the LUT button 801, the electronic device displays as shown in Figure 'a'. Figure 8 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 8 In the interface shown in b, the LUT button 801 expands into multiple LUT mode buttons, such as LUT mode 1 button 802, LUT mode 2 button 803, and LUT mode 3 button 804. Users can view all LUT modes by swiping left and right. When the user selects LUT mode 2 button 803, LUT mode 2 button 803 can be turned on in the electronic device. For example, LUT mode 2 corresponds to the Mysterious Realm mode.

[0133] As can be seen, 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 that sliding panel-type button in the bottom menu area. The area where the electronic device displays multiple LUT mode buttons can be a four-level menu area. It is understandable that the function buttons in the top menu area can be the same function buttons as those in the third-level menu area, so the electronic device can... Figure 5 The method shown allows access to the fourth-level menu area via function buttons in the third-level menu area, or by clicking a sliding panel-like button in the top menu area.

[0134] In some embodiments, in Figure 8 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays a back button in its four-level menu area. The electronic device can return to the interface displaying the three-level menu area using the back button 805. Figure 5 Returning to diagram c in the middle Figure 5 The process in Figure a is similar and will not be repeated here.

[0135] The above embodiments illustrate the relationship between the sliding panel buttons in the top menu area and the third-level and fourth-level menu areas. The following will explain this relationship in conjunction with... Figure 9 Explain the status linkage between the function buttons in the top menu area and the function buttons in the third-level menu area, 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 Figure 'a'. Figure 9 In the interface shown in Figure 'a', the electronic device displays a top menu area and a third-level menu area. The top menu area can display a flash button 901, and the third-level menu area can also display a flash button 902. The icons of flash button 901 and flash button 902 are the same. 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 on the flash button 901, the electronic device displays as follows: Figure 9 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 9 In the interface shown in b, the top menu area of ​​the electronic device can display multiple flash buttons in an expanded state, such as the auto flash button 903, the flash off button 904, the flash on button 905, and the constant flash button 906; among them, the flash off button 904 is in the on state, and the other flash buttons are in the off state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the flash on button 905, the electronic device can enter as follows: Figure 9 The interface shown in c is shown in the image.

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

[0139] As can be seen, when the function buttons in the top menu area are the same as those in the third-level menu area, the function buttons in the two areas can be linked. Specifically, Figure 9 Taking only the shooting mode and flash button as examples, this paper exemplifies the process of how the flash button in the three-level menu area changes in tandem when switching the flash button in the top menu area. In this embodiment, the function button in the top menu area can also change in tandem when switching any button corresponding to a function button in the three-level menu area; this process can be referred to... Figure 9The embodiments shown are not described in detail in this application.

[0140] The above embodiments illustrate the linkage process between the function buttons in the three-level menu area and the top menu area. The following will combine... Figures 10-12 This section explains the interaction between function buttons when switching camera modes in Scene 3.

[0141] In this embodiment, the electronic device can receive a trigger operation on the camera mode button in the primary menu area. In response to the trigger operation, the electronic device can switch to that camera mode. During the process of switching from one camera mode to another, some parameters of the electronic device's functions may remain unchanged. For example, consider switching from a regular photo mode to a professional mode.

[0142] exist Figure 10 In the interface shown as 'a', the electronic device is in photo mode, and the aspect ratio of the area being photographed is 1:1. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the professional mode button 1001, the electronic device can enter... Figure 10 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 10 In the interface shown as b, the electronic device is in professional mode, and the aspect ratio of the area captured by the electronic device remains 1:1. The aspect ratio of the area captured does not change before and after switching camera modes.

[0143] Understandably, when switching between two camera modes for taking photos, if the aspect ratio button supports the same specifications, the specifications of the aspect ratio button will not change before and after the switch. For example, consider camera modes like Shot Mode and Pro Mode. Shot Mode supports adjusting the aspect ratio and allows setting it to 4:3, 1:1, and full-screen parameters; Pro Mode supports adjusting the aspect ratio and allows setting it to 4:3, 1:1, and full-screen parameters. Therefore, the size of the viewfinder in the electronic device does not change before and after switching.

[0144] However, when switching between two camera modes for taking photos, if the ratio buttons do not support the same specifications, the specifications of the ratio buttons will change before and after the switch. For example, in professional mode and document scanning mode... Figure 11 As shown:

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

[0146] This is because the professional mode supports adjusting the aspect ratio of the frame, allowing settings such as 4:3, 1:1, and full screen. The document scanning mode also supports adjusting the aspect ratio of the frame, allowing settings such as 4:3, 9:6, and full screen. When an electronic device switches from the 1:1 aspect ratio of the professional mode to the document scanning mode, which does not support a 1:1 aspect ratio, the electronic device sets the aspect ratio of the frame to a preset setting, such as 4:3. For aspect ratios not supported after switching, the electronic device will not adjust the aspect ratio accordingly before or after the mode switch.

[0147] In some embodiments, the scaling buttons between the two camera modes are not synchronized during camera mode switching. Therefore, when the electronic device switches back to the original camera mode, the scaling buttons will not synchronize.

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

[0149] Understandably, if the aspect ratio function is not activated when switching from professional mode to document scanning mode, then it will also not activate when switching back from document scanning mode to professional mode. For example, professional mode supports a 4:3 aspect ratio; however, when switching back from a 4:3 document scanning mode to professional mode, the electronic device displays the aspect ratio it was in during the first switch, such as 1:1.

[0150] Optionally, switching to document scanning mode can be, for example, when an electronic device receives a trigger on the "More" button, displaying more camera modes. When an electronic device receives an action to select document scanning mode, it can display... Figure 11 The interface shown in b is an example. For instance, an electronic device's primary menu area can display a document scanning button. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the document scanning button in the primary menu area, it can display... Figure 11 The interface shown in b is not limited in this embodiment.

[0151] Optionally, switching to professional mode can be done, for example: in Figure 11 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the document scan cancel button 1101, and the electronic device displays... Figure 11 The interface shown in Figure 'a'. For example, the primary menu area of ​​an electronic device can display specialized buttons. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on a specialized button in the primary menu area, it can display... Figure 11 The interface shown in 'a' is not limited to this embodiment.

[0152] The above embodiments illustrate the rules governing the change of the ratio button specifications when switching between multiple camera modes for taking photos, as described in this application. The following will be combined with... Figure 12 The process of switching between multiple camera modes used for video recording is explained.

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

[0154] Among them, Figure 12 In the interface shown as 'a', the electronic device is in movie mode with a resolution of 4K and a frame rate of 24FPS. When the electronic device receives an operation to switch to multi-camera recording mode, it can enter the following... Figure 12 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 12 In the interface shown as b, the electronic device is in multi-camera recording mode with a resolution of 1080p and a frame rate of 30FPS. The proportion of the captured area changes before and after the mode switch.

[0155] It is understandable that when an electronic device switches between multiple camera modes used for recording, the frame rate, resolution, and aspect ratio do not change accordingly. Similarly, when an electronic device switches from multi-camera recording mode back to movie mode, the frame rate, resolution, and aspect ratio do not change accordingly.

[0156] Optionally, switching to multi-camera recording mode can be achieved, for example, by the electronic device receiving a trigger on the "More" button and displaying more camera modes. When the electronic device receives a selection of multi-camera recording mode, it can display... Figure 12 The interface shown in b is an example. For instance, the primary menu area of ​​an electronic device can display a multi-camera recording button. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation for the multi-camera recording button in the primary menu area, it can display... Figure 12 The interface shown in b is not limited in this embodiment.

[0157] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, taking the professional mode, the camera mode, and the document scanning mode as examples, the change in the ratio specification during the switching of the camera modes for taking pictures is exemplarily described. In the embodiments of the present application, for other camera modes for taking pictures, the switching can also be carried out in the above-mentioned manner. 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 exemplarily described. In the embodiments of the present application, for other camera modes for video recording, the switching can also be carried out in the above-mentioned manner. 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 function buttons when switching camera modes; 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 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.

[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 multiple resolution buttons in the 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 the on state, and the resolution buttons 1301 of 720P and 1303 of 4K are in the 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 4K resolution button 1303 is in the on state, and the 1080P resolution button 1302 is in the off state, so the resolution of the image displayed by the electronic device can be 4K.

[0163] exist Figure 13 In the interface shown in b, the top menu area of ​​the electronic device may 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 on the night scene enhancement button 1304, the electronic device displays as shown in the image. Figure 13 The interface shown in c is shown in the image.

[0164] exist Figure 13 In the interface shown in Figure c, the electronic device displays the Night Scene Enhancement button 1304, which is in the "on" state. In the fourth-level menu area, the 1080P resolution button 1302 is in the "on" state, while the 720P resolution button 1301 and the 4K resolution button 1303 are grayed out. The grayed-out 720P resolution button 1301 and the 4K resolution button 1303 cannot be selected. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on either the 720P resolution button 1301 or the 4K resolution button 1303, the electronic device can display as follows: Figure 13 The interface shown in d is shown in the image.

[0165] exist Figure 13 In the interface shown as d, the electronic device displays a prompt message 1305. The prompt message 1305 can be used to indicate that 720P or 4K resolution is unavailable when night scene enhancement is enabled. The prompt message 1305 can also take other forms, and this embodiment does not limit its presentation.

[0166] Understandably, in the above scenario, the night scene enhancement function has a higher priority than the resolution. The electronic device has a 4K resolution, but the night scene enhancement function does not support 4K resolution. Therefore, when both are enabled simultaneously, the higher-priority night scene enhancement function is activated, the 4K resolution function is disabled, and the resolution is adjusted to 1080P, which is supported by the night scene enhancement function. Since the night scene enhancement function does not support 4K or 720P resolution, the 720P resolution button 1301 and the 4K resolution button 1303 are grayed out.

[0167] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the electronic device disables a high-priority function, the specifications of the low-priority functions can be restored. For example, in Figure 13 In the interface shown in c, when a trigger operation is received to turn off the night scene enhancement button 1304, the electronic device can display as follows: Figure 13The interface shown in b is as follows. The Night Scene Enhancement button 1304 is off, and the electronic device has de-grabbed 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, the resolution is 4K before the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned on; when the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned on, the resolution switches to 1080P; and when the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned off, the resolution returns to 4K. In another possible implementation, the resolution is 4K before the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned on; when the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned on, the resolution switches to 1080P; and when the night scene enhancement button 1304 is turned off, the resolution is 1080P. This application does not limit the implementation in this way.

[0169] In this embodiment, taking the resolution function and other functions as night scene enhancement functions as an example, the priority arrangement rules are explained. In this embodiment, when there are mutually exclusive scenarios among any multiple functions such as other functions, aspect ratio function, resolution function, and frame rate function, the following rules can be referred to... Figure 13 The priority display method in the embodiments. For example, taking aspect ratio and frame rate as an example, in a scenario with an aspect 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 an aspect ratio of 21:9 and a frame rate of 30FPS, and the frame rate buttons for 60FPS and 24FPS are both grayed out. This application embodiment will not list all scenarios where combinations of functions with different priorities are mutually exclusive.

[0170] In the second embodiment, there may be conflicting scenarios between function buttons in the secondary menu area and function buttons in the tertiary menu. The electronic device can disable mutually exclusive function buttons when a function button is enabled, and disable a mutually exclusive function button when it is enabled. The following describes a similar scenario. Figure 14 This mutual exclusion scenario is explained as follows: Figure 14 As shown:

[0171] For example, in movie mode, Figure 14 In the interface shown in Figure a, the electronic device can display a blur button 1401, a beautification button 1402, and a call button 1403 in the secondary menu area. Both the blur button 1401 and the beautification button 1402 are in the active state. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the call button 1403, it can display the following: Figure 14 The interface shown in b is shown in the image.

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

[0173] In this embodiment, the blurring function and the beautification function are mutually exclusive with the LOG function; the electronic device cannot set all three function buttons to the on state. For example, when the blurring function is on, the LOG function is off; when the LOG function is on, the blurring function is off; and / or, when the beautification function is on, the LOG function is off; when the LOG function is on, the beautification function is off.

[0174] Optionally, when electronic devices are Figure 14 When the interface shown in d receives a trigger operation for the blur button 1401, the electronic device can turn on the blur button 1401 and turn off the LOG button. This embodiment of the application will not be described in detail.

[0175] It is understandable that electronic devices rely on algorithms to implement blurring, beautification, and / or log functions. When an electronic device executes blurring, beautification, and / or log functions simultaneously, the mutual exclusion or superposition of these algorithms requires more computing power, affecting the photo-taking or video-recording process. The electronic device can set the blurring and log functions to be mutually exclusive; and the beautification and log functions to be mutually exclusive; thus ensuring that only one function is active between blurring and log, and only one function is active between beautification and log. This application uses the example of both the blurring and beautification buttons being simultaneously active and simultaneously switched to a deactivated state to illustrate the mutual exclusion scenario. This application also allows for the activation of only the beautification button or only the blurring button; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0176] The above embodiments illustrate potential conflicts between function buttons in the secondary menu area and function buttons in the tertiary menu; in some embodiments, conflicts may also exist between function buttons in the tertiary menu. For example, Figure 14The interface shown in Figure a also includes a LUT button 1404, which is in the ON state; when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the call button 1403, the electronic device can enter as follows: Figure 14 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. When the electronic device is... Figure 14 When the interface shown in b receives a trigger function for the LOG button 1406, the electronic device enters... Figure 14 The interface shown in c is shown in the image. Figure 14 In the interface shown in c, 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 will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0177] In some scenarios, function buttons also use, for example Figure 13 In this embodiment, the priority rule grays out low-priority function buttons. The following example uses movie mode as an example. Figure 15 Describe the scenario, such as Figure 15 As shown:

[0178] exist Figure 15 In the interface shown in Figure a, the electronic device can display a blur button 1501, a beautification button 1502, and a call button 1503 in the secondary menu area. The blur button 1501 and the beautification button 1502 are both active. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the call button 1503, the electronic device can enter the following... Figure 15 The interface shown in b; Figure 15 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays the HDR button 1504 in the three-level menu area, and the HDR button 1504 is grayed out. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the HDR button 1504, the electronic device can display as follows: Figure 15 The prompt message 1505 in the interface shown in Figure c indicates that the HDR button is unavailable when the beauty button and / or blur button are enabled. Users can understand why the button is currently unavailable based on the prompt message.

[0179] It is 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. When the function with higher priority is enabled, the function with lower priority is grayed out. For example, the priority of the beautification function and the bokeh function is higher than the priority of the HDR function; when the beautification button and / or the bokeh button are enabled, the HDR button is grayed out.

[0180] It should be noted that this application embodiment uses the mutual exclusion relationship between the beauty button, blur button, LUT button, and LOG button, as well as the mutual exclusion scenario of the beauty button, blur button, and HDR button, as examples to introduce the camera application interface in mutually exclusive scenarios. This application embodiment may also include other buttons with mutually exclusive functions, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

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

[0182] For example, the following combination Figure 16 The scenario in the third embodiment will be described as follows: Figure 16 As shown:

[0183] Taking video recording mode as an example, when the electronic device is in rear camera recording mode, it supports night scene enhancement and can display, for example, night scene enhancement. Figure 16 The interface shown in Figure 'a'. Figure 16 In the interface shown in Figure a, the top menu area includes a night scene enhancement button 1601, the third-level menu area includes a night scene enhancement button 1602, and the shutter area includes a lens switching button 1603.

[0184] When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the lens switching button 1603, the electronic device switches the rear lens to the front lens, and the electronic device displays as follows. Figure 16 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 16 In the interface shown in b, the Night Scene Enhancement button is not displayed in either the top menu area or the third-level menu area of ​​the electronic device; furthermore, the electronic device does not support the Night Scene Enhancement function when it is in the recording mode of the front camera.

[0185] For example, the following combination Figure 17 The scenario in the third embodiment will be described as follows: Figure 17 As shown:

[0186] Taking HDR recording mode as an example, in HDR recording mode, the electronic device supports a frame rate of 30FPS and does not support other frame rates. The electronic device can display... Figure 17 The interface shown in Figure a has a frame rate button 1701 in its top menu area, which indicates that the current frame rate is 30 FPS; the third-level menu area of ​​the interface does not include a frame rate button.

[0187] Understandably, in HDR recording mode, the electronic device displaying a frame rate button in the top menu area indicates that the device supports a frame rate of 30 FPS in this mode. The absence of a frame rate button in the third-level menu area indicates that the frame rate is not adjustable, and the device can only run HDR recording mode at 30 FPS. In some scenarios, users may want to adjust the frame rate in HDR recording mode. For example, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the frame rate button 1701, it may display something like... Figure 17 The interface shown in b; Figure 17 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays prompt message 1702, which indicates that only a frame rate of 30FPS is supported in HDR recording mode. This embodiment uses frame rate as an example; in practical applications, when the current mode does not support adjusting the scaling and / or resolution, please refer to... Figure 17 The illustrated embodiment shows the camera application interface. This application does not limit the scope of the embodiments shown.

[0188] This application only provides illustrative examples of some scenarios to illustrate the pattern that "in different camera modes, the electronic device displays the function buttons supported by that camera mode; in front / rear lens mode, the electronic device displays the function buttons supported by that lens." This application does not limit the specific function buttons in mutually exclusive scenarios.

[0189] In the fourth embodiment, in the camera application's settings interface, the electronic device can add preset conditions to the function buttons. These preset conditions may include: camera mode, and / or front / rear camera lens. After a function button is activated, the electronic device can automatically use the function corresponding to the button when the preset conditions are met; otherwise, the electronic device may not use the function corresponding to the button.

[0190] In some scenarios, certain functions, camera modes, or front and rear cameras may meet preset conditions but be mutually exclusive with the functions corresponding to the function button, causing the function button to become unusable. Electronic devices can then gray out the function button and indicate the reason for graying it out.

[0191] The following is combined with Figure 18 The settings interface of the aforementioned camera application will be explained, such as... Figure 18 As shown:

[0192] Electronic devices can access the camera application's settings interface via the settings buttons in the top menu area and / or the settings buttons in the third-level menu area, such as... Figure 18 The interface shown in Figure 'a'. Figure 18 In the interface shown in Figure 'a', the electronic device can display buttons for multiple functions, such as a smart photo button, an efficient video format button, a multi-record button 1801, a smart focus tracking button, and a subject focus tracking button.

[0193] Each button has corresponding explanatory information based on preset conditions. Taking the "One Record, Multiple Views" button 1801 as an example, when the "One Record, Multiple Views" button 1801 is in the "on" state, it has corresponding explanatory information 1802. The explanatory information describes the preset conditions that can trigger the function, as well as an explanation of the function. For example, explanatory information 1802 can be "In rear-view recording and movie mode, if AI recognizes a wonderful clip, it can create a short video or recommend wonderful photos with one click." The preset conditions can be rear-view recording and movie mode, and the electronic device supports using the "One Record, Multiple Views" function in rear-view recording and movie mode.

[0194] Understandably, when the multi-record button 1801 is in the off state, the electronic device can receive a trigger operation on the multi-record button 1801 in rear video recording and movie modes, and display the following: Figure 17 The "One Record, Multiple Access" button 1801 is shown as being in the "On" state in the interface shown in Figure a. When the "One Record, Multiple Access" button 1801 is in the "Off" state, the electronic device can switch the "One Record, Multiple Access" button 1801 to the "On" state in other modes based on the operation of the "One Record, Multiple Access" button 1801. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0195] When the "One Record, Multiple Photos" button 1801 is turned on, the electronic device can automatically generate an additional short video or photo based on the recorded video content when the device is in rear recording or movie mode. When the device is not in rear recording or movie mode, it will not automatically generate an additional short video or photo. It is understood that after the "One Record, Multiple Photos" button is turned on, the electronic device supports operation of the "One Record, Multiple Photos" button 1801 under non-default conditions; however, the "One Record, Multiple Photos" function will not be active.

[0196] It should be noted that the "One Record, Multiple Use" button 1801 has limited usability. If the electronic device can only activate the "One Record, Multiple Use" button under preset conditions, users may see a grayed-out button in many scenarios, reducing its usage rate and affecting the user experience. However, in this embodiment, the electronic device can activate the "One Record, Multiple Use" button under non-exclusive conditions (e.g., when the night scene enhancement function is not enabled). This reduces the number of grayed-out scenarios in the settings interface. Simultaneously, explanatory information can be used to prompt users with the preset conditions and function descriptions, improving the user experience.

[0197] The above embodiments have introduced the buttons and their descriptions in the settings interface. The following describes a scenario where mutually exclusive functions cause the buttons in the settings interface to be grayed out.

[0198] The camera app's settings interface, for example Figure 18The interface shown in b is as follows. In this interface, the electronic device displays a "One Record, Multiple Access" button 1801, which is grayed out. The "One Record, Multiple Access" button 1801 has a corresponding prompt message 1803, which indicates the reason why the "One Record, Multiple Access" button 1801 is grayed out. For example, the prompt message 1803 indicates that it is not available when Night Scene Enhancement is enabled.

[0199] It is understood that in this embodiment, the night scene enhancement function may conflict with the one-record-multiple-scan function; when the electronic device turns on the night scene enhancement function, the electronic device displays that the one-record-multiple-scan function is unavailable, and displays a prompt message indicating the reason for the unavailability. After the electronic device turns off the night scene enhancement function, the electronic device can restore the one-record-multiple-scan function. The electronic device can turn on the one-record-multiple-scan function based on user operation, or restore the function to its previous on state before it was grayed out.

[0200] In this way, when a button in the settings interface is unavailable, the user can find out the reason for the button's unavailability based on the prompt information. This allows the user to disable mutually exclusive functions based on the prompt information, thereby increasing button usage and improving the user experience.

[0201] The following is combined with Figure 19 This section explains scenarios where mutually exclusive modes and functions cause buttons to be grayed out in the settings interface.

[0202] The camera app's settings interface, for example Figure 19 The interface shown in Figure a is as follows. In this interface, the electronic device displays a watermark button 1901, which is grayed out. The watermark button 1901 has a corresponding prompt message 1902, which indicates the reason why the watermark button 1901 is grayed out. For example, the prompt message 1902 indicates that it is not applicable to the current mode.

[0203] It is understood that in this embodiment, the electronic device can enable the watermark function in various camera modes, such as photo mode, video mode, and night mode; however, in some camera modes, the electronic device cannot enable the watermark function, such as portrait mode. When the electronic device enters the settings interface from a camera mode that is not suitable for the watermark function, the electronic device can gray out the watermark button.

[0204] In this way, when a button in the settings interface is unavailable, the user can find out the reason for the button's unavailability based on the prompt information. This allows the user to switch to a camera mode that is mutually exclusive with the button, increasing the button's usability and improving the user experience.

[0205] In some scenarios, the settings interface of electronic devices may differ depending on whether the camera is front-facing or rear-facing. For functions not supported by the front or rear cameras, the electronic device can hide or display them. For example, regarding watermarks in the settings interface, the settings interface may look like this: Figure 19In the interface shown in b, the watermark button 1901 is enabled.

[0206] In one possible implementation, the electronic device is positioned near the rear camera. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the watermark button 1901, it can display the following: Figure 19 The interface shown in c is shown in the image. Figure 19 The interface shown in Figure c includes an automatic watermark button 1903, a prompt message 1904, a watermark style 1905, and a device model watermark 1907. The automatic watermark button 1903 is enabled, allowing the electronic device to add a watermark to the image during shooting. The prompt message 1904 indicates the device model watermark and frame style, which takes effect when shooting with the rear camera. The watermark style 1905 may include a default style illustration and a frame style illustration 1906.

[0207] When using the rear camera, the watermark settings interface of the electronic device can display the model watermark and frame style; while when using the front camera, the watermark settings interface of the electronic device can not display the model watermark and frame style.

[0208] For example, in another possible implementation, the electronic device is positioned in front of the camera, and when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the watermark button 1901, the electronic device can display as shown in the image. Figure 19 The interface shown in d is shown in the image. Figure 19 In the interface shown as 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-facing camera, the electronic device can display the time and location watermarks using various modes. The electronic device does not display the frame style diagram 1906 or the model watermark button 1907.

[0209] In this way, when there is a conflict between the functions supported by the front and rear cameras in the settings interface, the electronic device can hide or display the function, thereby simplifying the interface and improving its aesthetics.

[0210] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the icons of function buttons in the camera application interface are grayed out, the electronic device can display a prompt message when it receives an operation on the grayed-out function button. For example... Figure 13 The prompt message 1305 in the interface shown by d is... Figure 15 The prompt message 1505, etc., appears on the interface shown in c.

[0211] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when a function button is grayed out in the camera application's settings interface, the electronic device can display a prompt message when it receives an operation targeting the grayed-out function button. For example... Figure 18 The prompt message 1803 appears on the interface shown in b.

[0212] The above embodiments describe the mutual exclusion scenarios when the functions of the function button and / or camera mode button conflict; the following will combine... Figures 20-22 The scenario of exiting the third-level menu area in Scenario 5 is explained.

[0213] exist Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment describes a method for an electronic device to access a three-level menu area. For example, the electronic device can access the three-level menu area via a call button, or via a swipe-up operation within the viewing area. After accessing the three-level menu area, the electronic device can exit the three-level menu area in the following ways: Figure 20 As shown:

[0214] The electronic device displays a camera application interface, which includes a three-level menu area, for example... Figure 20 The interface shown in Figure 'a'. Figure 20 The interface shown in Figure 'a' indicates that the electronic device is in camera mode and displays a three-level menu area, which may include a collapse button 2001.

[0215] In one possible implementation, Figure 20 In the interface shown in Figure a, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the collapse button 2001, the electronic device can enter... Figure 20 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 20 In the interface shown in 'a', the electronic device displays a second-level menu area, but does not display a third-level menu area.

[0216] In another possible implementation, Figure 20 In the interface shown in Figure a, when the electronic device receives an upward swipe operation in area 2003 (the area within the solid line box in the figure), the electronic device can enter... Figure 20 The interface shown in b is as follows. Area 2003 may include a framing area, a third-level menu area, and a first-level menu area. In this embodiment, the size and proportion of the framing area are related. The framing area may overlap with the third-level menu area or may not overlap with it. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0217] In another possible implementation, Figure 20 In the interface shown in Figure a, when the electronic device receives a click operation in area 2002 (the area within the dashed box in the figure), the electronic device can enter... Figure 20 The interface shown in b is shown in the figure. Area 2002 may include the part of the view area excluding the three-level menu area.

[0218] exist Figure 5In the illustrated embodiment, the electronic device can access the fourth-level menu area by receiving a click operation on a function button in the third-level menu area. The electronic device can also return to the third-level menu area through operations in the fourth-level menu area; for example, receiving a trigger operation on any function button in the fourth-level menu area and returning to the third-level menu after a preset duration; or, for example, receiving a trigger operation on the back button in the fourth-level menu area and returning to the third-level menu. In this embodiment, the electronic device can also exit the third-level menu area from the fourth-level menu area using the following methods, such as... Figure 21 As shown:

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

[0220] In one possible implementation, Figure 21 In the interface shown in Figure a, when the electronic device receives an upward swipe operation in area 2102 (the area within the solid line box in the figure), the electronic device can enter... Figure 21 The interface shown in b is shown in the figure. Area 2102 may include a framing area, a fourth-level menu area, and a first-level menu area. In this embodiment, the size of the framing area is related to the proportional setting. The framing area may overlap with the fourth-level menu area or it may not overlap with the fourth-level menu area. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0221] In another possible implementation, Figure 21 In the interface shown in Figure a, when the electronic device receives a click operation in area 2101 (the area within the dashed box in the figure), the electronic device can enter... Figure 21 The interface shown in b is shown in the figure. Area 2101 may include the part of the view area excluding the fourth-level menu area.

[0222] It is understandable that the two methods of returning from the fourth-level menu area to the second-level menu area are partially the same as the latter two methods of returning from the third-level menu area to the second-level menu area, and the principles are generally similar. Therefore, the embodiments of this application will not be described in detail.

[0223] In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can also exit the three-level menu area through methods such as mode switching, front / rear camera switching, and page switching. For example... Figure 22 As shown:

[0224] The electronic device displays a camera application interface and is in shooting mode. This interface includes a three-level menu area, a primary menu area, and a shutter button area. The primary menu area may include a photo / video button 2201, etc. The shutter button may include a lens switching button 2202 and a shortcut button 2203 for the gallery (photo album) application. For example, this interface... Figure 22 The interface shown in Figure 'a'.

[0225] In one possible implementation, when switching camera modes, the electronic device can return from the third-level menu area to the second-level menu area. For example, in Figure 22 In the interface shown in Figure a, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the recording button 2201, the electronic device can switch from photo mode to video recording mode, and the electronic device displays as shown in Figure a. Figure 22 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 22 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays a second-level menu area but does not display a third-level menu area.

[0226] In another possible implementation, when switching between front and rear cameras, the electronic device can return from a three-level menu area to a two-level menu area. For example, in Figure 22 In the interface shown in Figure a, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the lens switching button 2202, the electronic device can switch from rear camera shooting mode to front camera shooting mode, and the electronic device displays as shown in Figure a. Figure 22 The interface shown in c is shown in the image. Figure 22 In the interface shown in c, the electronic device displays a second-level menu area but does not display a third-level menu area.

[0227] In another possible implementation, when the electronic device switches to another interface and then returns to the camera application interface, it can return from the third-level menu area to the second-level menu area. For example, the electronic device displays the camera application interface, and the camera application interface includes a third-level menu area; when the electronic device switches the camera application to the background, and then runs the camera application in the foreground again, the camera application interface does not include the third-level menu area. Yet another example: the electronic device displays the camera application interface, and the camera application interface includes a third-level menu area; when the electronic device navigates to other applications based on notifications, shortcut buttons in the gallery (photo album) application, and then returns to the camera application interface, the electronic device does not display the third-level menu area.

[0228] Taking the shortcut button in the Gallery app as an example, in Figure 22 In the interface shown in Figure a, when the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the shortcut button 2203 for the Gallery (Photo Album) application, the electronic device can launch the Gallery application, and the electronic device displays as shown in Figure a. Figure 22 The interface shown in d is shown in the image. When the electronic device is... Figure 22 When the interface shown in d receives, for example, a right swipe operation, the electronic device displays as shown in the image. Figure 22 The interface shown in c is shown in the image. Figure 22 In the interface shown in 'c', the electronic device displays a second-level menu area but does not display a third-level menu area.

[0229] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the electronic device activates the simplified mode, the call-up and collapse buttons are no longer displayed on the camera application interface, and the electronic device cannot access the third-level menu area and / or the fourth-level menu area. The simplified mode can be as follows: Figure 23 The interface shown.

[0230] In this embodiment of the application, the gesture operation for calling up and / or collapsing the three-level menu area may conflict with the gesture operation of other functions. The following is a combination of... Figures 24-26 This section explains how to resolve gesture operation conflicts.

[0231] When the third-level menu area is not invoked, the electronic device prioritizes responding to other function gestures; when no other function gesture conflicts with the swipe-up gesture used to invoke the third-level menu area, the electronic device may respond to the swipe-up operation and display the third-level menu area. For example... Figure 24 As shown, in Figure 24 In the interface shown as 'a', the electronic device is in camera mode. When the electronic device receives a click operation while in the shooting area, it can display something like this: Figure 24 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 24 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays an exposure box 2401 at the previously clicked location.

[0232] At this time, the electronic device is unable to... Figure 24 The interface shown in b displays a three-level menu area. For example, when the electronic device is... Figure 24 When the interface shown in b receives an upward swipe operation, the electronic device can display as follows: Figure 24 The interface shown in c is shown in the image. Among them, in... Figure 24 In the interface shown in c, the electronic device can display the exposure value as it changes with the up and down swipe gesture, and the electronic device does not display a three-level menu area.

[0233] Understandably, in Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment describes how an electronic device can access a three-level menu area by swiping up. However, this also applies when the electronic device does not access the three-level menu area (e.g., ...). Figure 24 In the interface shown in Figure a), when the swipe gesture for accessing the third-level menu area conflicts with other functional gestures (e.g., swiping up to adjust the exposure value), the other functional gestures have higher priority than the swipe gesture for accessing the third-level menu area, and the electronic device responds to the other functional gestures first. This embodiment of the application exemplarily illustrates a scenario where the gesture for adjusting the exposure value conflicts with the gesture for accessing the third-level menu area. Gesture conflicts may also exist in other scenarios, and the electronic device can respond to other functional gestures first even when the third-level menu area is not accessed. Other scenarios may include: a conflict between the gesture for dragging a small window upwards in protagonist mode and the gesture for accessing the third-level menu area; a conflict between the gesture for dragging an in-camera window upwards and the gesture for accessing the third-level menu area in multi-camera recording, etc.

[0234] After the three-level menu area is brought up, the electronic device prioritizes responding to a click or swipe gesture to collapse the three-level menu area. For example... Figure 25 As shown, in Figure 25 In the interface shown as 'a', the electronic device is in camera mode and displays a three-level menu area. When the electronic device receives a click operation while in the shooting area, it can display something like... Figure 25 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 24 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays a second-level menu area but does not display a third-level menu area.

[0235] Understandably, in Figure 20 The illustrated embodiment describes how an electronic device can collapse its three-level menu area via a swipe down or a tap. When the electronic device brings up its three-level menu area (e.g., ...), ... Figure 25 In the interface shown in 'a'), when a click or swipe gesture used to collapse the third-level menu area conflicts with other functional gestures, the priority of the other functional gestures is lower than the priority of the click or swipe gesture used to collapse the third-level menu area, and the electronic device prioritizes the click or swipe gesture used to collapse the third-level menu area. For example, in Figure 25 In the interface shown as 'a', the electronic device displays a three-level menu area. When a click operation is received, the electronic device collapses the three-level menu area. Figure 24 In the interface shown in 'a', the electronic device does not display the three-level menu area. When a click operation is received, the electronic device displays an exposure box.

[0236] This application embodiment exemplifies a scenario where a click gesture to bring up the exposure frame conflicts with a click gesture to collapse the third-level menu area. Gesture conflicts may also exist in other scenarios, and the electronic device can prioritize responding to the gesture to collapse the third-level menu area when it is brought up. Other scenarios may include: conflicts between a long-press gesture for focus / exposure separation and a click gesture to collapse the third-level menu area; conflicts between a long-press gesture for focus lock and a click gesture to collapse the third-level menu area; conflicts between a double-tap gesture for switching between front and rear cameras in multi-lens recording mode and a click gesture to collapse the third-level menu area; conflicts between a swipe gesture for dragging a small window or picture-in-picture window in main character mode and a swipe gesture to collapse the third-level menu area; conflicts between a swipe gesture for adjusting exposure values ​​and a swipe gesture to collapse the third-level menu area; and conflicts between a gesture for swiping left and right to switch camera modes and a gesture to collapse the third-level menu area. In these conflict scenarios, the electronic device prioritizes responding to the gesture to collapse the third-level menu area.

[0237] Optionally, in some scenarios, the electronic device can respond to the operation of collapsing the three-level menu area first, and then respond to other operations. For example... Figure 26 As shown: In Figure 26In the interface shown in Figure 'a', the electronic device displays a three-level menu area. When the electronic device receives a two-finger swipe operation (the distance between the two fingers can gradually increase or decrease), the electronic device can enter... Figure 26 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 26 In the interface shown as b, the electronic device displays a second-level menu area but not a third-level menu area. Taking a two-finger swipe operation as an example where the distance between the two fingers gradually decreases, the electronic device responds to the swipe operation by zooming in on the lens during the continuous two-finger swipe. For example, in 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, in Figure 26 In the interface shown as c, the focal length of the electronic device is reduced to 0.5. It can be seen that when the electronic device displays a three-level menu area, the primary response to a two-finger gesture is to collapse the three-level menu area.

[0238] In this embodiment, 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. For example, in Figure 2 In the interface shown as b, the electronic device is in camera mode, and function buttons are displayed in the top menu area. Six function buttons are evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 12 In the interface shown as b, the electronic device is in multi-camera recording mode, and function buttons are displayed in the top menu area, with five function buttons evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 11 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device is in document scanning mode, and function buttons are displayed in the top menu area. Four function buttons are evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 10 In the interface shown as b, the electronic device is in professional mode, and function buttons are displayed in the top menu area. Three function buttons are evenly distributed in the top menu area. Figure 27 In the interface shown as 'a', the electronic device is in super macro mode, and function buttons are displayed in the top menu area. 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, with one function button evenly distributed in the top menu area.

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

[0240] The above embodiments use a mobile phone as an example to illustrate the display method of the camera application interface in this application. The following uses a foldable phone as an example to briefly describe the display method of the camera application interface in this application.

[0241] The camera app interface of a foldable phone, such as Figure 28 As shown: In Figure 28 As shown in the interface (a), the camera application interface of the foldable phone includes: a shutter area, a primary menu area, a top menu area, and a secondary menu area. The shutter area displays, from bottom to top, a shortcut button for the gallery (photo album) application, a shutter button, and a lens switching button. The primary menu area displays multiple camera modes, such as aperture (also known as large aperture), night mode, portrait mode, photo mode, video mode, movie mode, professional mode, and more modes, indicating the device is in photo mode. The secondary menu area displays several frequently used buttons in photo mode, such as a sports mode button and a zoom button. The top menu area displays some less frequently used buttons in photo mode, such as an external screen preview button, a flash button, an AI photography button, an HDR button, a filter button, and a settings button.

[0242] exist Figure 28 In the interface shown in Figure a, the secondary menu area may also include a call button 2801. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the call button 2801, the electronic device can enter... Figure 28 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 28 In the interface shown, the electronic device displays a three-level menu area, but not the top menu area or the second-level menu area. The three-level menu area can include all the secondary high-frequency buttons in the photo-taking mode. However, due to the limitations of the Aoki sensor, the electronic device can only display some of the secondary high-frequency buttons in the three-level menu area. When a downward swipe operation is received in the three-level menu area, the electronic device can display more secondary high-frequency buttons as the swipe operation occurs. Optionally, when the electronic device receives a downward swipe operation in the top menu area, the electronic device can also... Figure 28 The interface shown in 'a' will switch to... Figure 28 The interface shown in b is shown in the image.

[0243] exist Figure 28 In the interface shown in b, the three-level menu area also includes a collapse button 2802. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the collapse button 2802, the electronic device can enter... Figure 28 The interface shown in 'a' is as follows. Optionally, when the electronic device receives a click operation in an area other than the third-level menu area within the viewing area, the electronic device can also switch from the third-level menu area to the second-level menu area.

[0244] Similarly, electronic devices can access the fourth-level menu area using function buttons in the third-level menu area, such as... Figure 29 As shown:

[0245] exist Figure 29 In the interface shown in Figure a, the three-level menu area includes a flash button 2901. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the flash button 2901, the electronic device can display as follows: Figure 29 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. Figure 29 In the interface shown in b, the electronic device displays a four-level menu area, which includes expanded flash buttons, such as a constant flash button 2902, a flash on button 2903, a flash off button 2904, and a flash auto button 2905.

[0246] exist Figure 29 In the interface shown in b, the fourth-level menu area also includes a back button 2906. When the electronic device receives a trigger operation on the back button 2906, the electronic device can return. Figure 29 The interface shown in 'a' returns from the fourth-level menu area to the third-level menu area.

[0247] exist Figure 29 In the interface shown in b, when the electronic device receives a click operation within the viewing area, the electronic device can return. Figure 28 The interface shown in 'a' returns from the fourth-level menu area to the second-level menu area.

[0248] Understandably, the camera app interface in a foldable phone is similar to that of a regular phone's camera app interface; you can refer to that for reference. Figures 2-27 The relevant descriptions can be found in [the documentation / reference]. For example, the layout rules for function buttons in the three-level menu area of ​​a foldable phone's camera app interface can be found in [the documentation / reference]. Figure 3 The illustrated embodiment shows that the three-level menu area in a mobile phone can be arranged from left to right in the order of unique functions, frequently used functions, and less frequently used functions; the three-level menu area in a foldable phone can be arranged from bottom to top in the order of unique functions, frequently used functions, and less frequently used functions. The camera application interface in a foldable phone will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0249] Based on this, this application provides a display method for the camera application interface of a foldable electronic device, enriching camera application scenarios; the three-level menu area can display all the second most frequently used buttons, so users no longer need to search for the second most frequently used buttons based on the settings buttons in the second-level menu area, simplifying user operation; at the same time, the function buttons in the three-level menu area have corresponding button names, improving the readability of the functions and enhancing the user's photography experience.

[0250] It is understood that the interface provided in the embodiments of this application is only an example and does not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of this 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 used for analysis, data stored, data displayed, etc.) involved in this application are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties. Furthermore, the collection, use and processing of the relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant countries and regions, and corresponding operation portals are provided for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0252] Based on the above embodiments, this application provides a method for displaying a camera application interface. For example, Figure 30 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a camera application interface, as provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0253] like Figure 30 As 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 multiple camera mode buttons; 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 and the third area are not adjacent.

[0255] The first interface can correspond to the camera application interface that displays a secondary menu area in each camera mode, for example... Figure 2 The interface shown in 'a' is... Figure 10 The interface shown in b in the text Figure 11 The interface shown in b in the text Figure 12 The interface shown in 'a' is... Figure 12 The interfaces shown in b, etc., will not be listed one by one in this application embodiment. The first mode can be the camera mode that is selected in the first-level menu area of ​​the first interface; the first mode includes aperture, night scene, portrait, photo, video, movie, professional, more and other modes, for example, in Figure 2 In the interface shown in 'a', the first mode is the photo mode. Figure 10 In the interface shown in b, the first mode is the professional mode.

[0256] Taking the first interface as Figure 2Taking the interface shown in Figure 'a' as an example, the first area can be the primary menu area, the second area can be the secondary menu area, and the third area can be the top menu area. The first type of button corresponds to the frequently used buttons in the secondary menu area, and the second type of button corresponds to the less frequently used buttons in the top menu area and / or the tertiary menu area. In camera application interfaces, the primary and secondary menu areas are often located in the lower middle area, while 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 the first operation.

[0258] The first operation can be to bring up the three-level menu area; for example, the first operation can be for... Figure 2 The trigger operation of the call-up button 209 in the interface shown in Figure a; the first operation can also be the swipe-up operation in the scenic area, etc.

[0259] S3003. In response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a second interface; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is a 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 multiple camera mode buttons; 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 at least partially overlaps with the position of the second area on the display screen of the electronic device; the first area and the fourth area are adjacent.

[0260] The second interface can correspond to the camera application interface with a three-level menu area displayed in each camera mode, for example... Figure 2 The interface shown in b in the text Figure 14 The interface shown in b and Figure 16 The interface shown in Figure 'a', etc.

[0261] Using the second interface as Figure 2 Taking the interface shown in b as an example, the first area can be the first-level menu area, the third area can be the top menu area, and the fourth area can be the third-level menu area. The third-level menu area displays multiple second-highest frequency buttons, and the top menu area also displays multiple second-highest frequency buttons. The display positions of the third-level menu area and the second-level menu area partially or completely overlap with the display screen. This can be understood as the electronic device replacing the high-frequency buttons in the second-level menu area with the second-highest frequency buttons in the third-level menu area.

[0262] In this way, with the third-level menu area adjacent to the first-level menu area, the third-level menu area is also located in the lower middle part of the camera application interface. Users can easily operate the function buttons in the third-level menu area with one hand, achieving a convenient one-handed operation experience for the second most frequently used buttons. Furthermore, the third-level menu area is roughly in the same position as the second-level menu area, without occupying additional screen display controls or increasing the control display area. At the same time, the top menu area retains the second most frequently used buttons, allowing users to use either the top menu area or the third-level menu area to activate the second most frequently used buttons according to their preferences and habits, enriching the application scenarios of the function buttons and improving the user experience.

[0263] Optionally, in the second interface, the second type of buttons in the third area are partially or entirely the same as the second type of buttons in the fourth area; it also includes: in the second interface, the electronic device scrolls to display all the second type of buttons in the first mode based on the sliding operation in the fourth area.

[0264] The function buttons in the top menu area and the third-level menu area can be the same, for example... Figure 2 In the interface shown in b, both the top and bottom menu areas display a flashlight button; additionally, the three-level menu area can display more frequently used buttons based on left and right swipe operations. For example, in Figure 2 In the interface shown by b, swipe left to enter the three-level menu area. Figure 2 The interface shown in c; Figure 2 In the interface shown by 'c', swipe right to enter the three-level menu area. Figure 2 The interface shown in b is shown in the image.

[0265] 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 go to the top menu area to click. Instead, they can find the corresponding button in the top menu area in the three-level menu area and operate with one hand. At the same time, if 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, they can easily find the button in the three-level menu area, thereby simplifying user operation and improving the user experience.

[0266] Optionally, in the second interface, the second type of buttons in the fourth area are arranged based on priority. Among the second type of buttons, the first sub-button has a higher priority than the second sub-button, and the second sub-button has a higher priority than 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 whose usage frequency is greater than a threshold. The third sub-button is the second type of button whose usage frequency is less than or equal to the threshold. The third area includes some second and third sub-buttons.

[0267] The embodiments of this application can be referred to. Figure 3The related descriptions in the illustrated embodiments, for example, suggest that the secondary frequently used button may include a button with a unique function, a frequently used button, and a less frequently used button. Specifically, the top menu area includes some frequently used buttons and some less frequently used buttons.

[0268] In this way, electronic devices can prioritize providing users with unique and frequently used functions in the current mode. Buttons for unique and frequently used functions are used more frequently, which can reduce the number of operations that users need to perform when swiping left and right to switch between function buttons in the three-level menu area, thus improving the user experience.

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

[0270] The second interface can be, for example... Figure 5 In the interface shown in Figure 'a', the second type of button can be, for example, the ratio button 501, and the third type of interface can be, for example... Figure 5 The interface shown in b is shown in the diagram. The fifth area can be a four-level menu area, allowing the electronic device to switch from the three-level menu area to the four-level menu area. The third type of button can be a second type of button with different specifications. For example, the ratio button 501 has multiple specifications corresponding to 4:3, 1:1 and full screen. The third type of button can be, for example, a 4:3 ratio button 502, a 1:1 ratio button 503, and a full-screen ratio button 504.

[0271] In this way, the fourth-level menu area is positioned roughly the same as the third-level menu area, also located in the lower center of the camera application interface. Users can easily select different sizes of function buttons in the fourth-level menu with one hand, thereby improving the user experience.

[0272] Optionally, the device may also display a fourth interface; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is a second mode, and the fourth interface includes a third area and a fifth area; the third area includes a first button, and the fifth area includes a second button and a third button, wherein the first button is in a closed state, the second button is in a turned-on state, and the third button is in a closed 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; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is a second mode, and the fifth interface includes a third area and a fifth area, wherein the first button is in a turned-on state, the third button is in a turned-on state, and the second button is in a disabled state.

[0273] The fourth interface can be, for example... Figure 13 The interface shown in b is as follows. The second mode can be a recording mode. The fourth interface includes a top menu area and a four-level menu area. The first button is the Night Scene Enhancement button 1304 in the top menu area (when it is off), the second button is the 4K resolution button 1303 in the four-level menu area (when it is on), and the third button is the 1080P resolution button 1302 in the four-level menu area (when it is off). After enabling Night Scene Enhancement, the fifth interface is displayed, as shown in the image. Figure 13 As shown in the c interface. Night scene enhancement button 1304 is on, 1080P resolution button 1302 is on, and 4K resolution button 1303 is grayed out.

[0274] In this way, the night scene enhancement button has a higher priority than the resolution button. When the functions and / or specifications of the two function buttons are mutually exclusive, the electronic device can prioritize the activation of the higher-priority function button and gray out the lower-priority function button. By graying out the button, the user is informed that the button is unavailable, which can reduce the scenario of user error.

[0275] Optionally, after the electronic device displays the fifth interface, the process 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 indicate that when the function of the first button is enabled, the function of the second button is unavailable.

[0276] The first notification message can be, for example... Figure 13 The prompt message 1305 appears on the interface shown in d.

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

[0278] Optionally, the first button has a higher priority than the second button.

[0279] In this embodiment of the application, in a mutually exclusive scenario, the priority of functions from high to low can be as follows: other functions, ratio functions, resolution functions, and frame rate functions. For example, the first button is the other functions button and the second button is the resolution button.

[0280] In this way, when the functions and / or specifications of two function buttons are mutually exclusive, the electronic device can prioritize the activation of the higher-priority function button and gray out the lower-priority function button; by graying out the button, the user is informed that the button is unavailable, which can reduce the scenario of user error.

[0281] Optionally, the device may also display a sixth interface; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is a third mode, and the sixth interface includes a fourth button, which is in an on state; the electronic device receives a third operation; in response to the third operation, the electronic device displays a seventh interface; wherein the camera mode of the electronic device is a third mode, and the seventh interface includes a fourth area; the fourth area includes a fifth button, which is in a off 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 on state on 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 the fourth button is in a off state on the sixth interface.

[0282] The sixth interface can be Figure 14 In the interface shown in 'a', the third mode can be movie mode, the fourth button can be the filter button 1401 and / or beauty button 1402 when it is active; the third operation can be the operation to bring up the three-level menu area; the seventh interface can be, for example... Figure 14 The interface shown in b has a three-level menu area that includes a fifth button, such as the LOG button 1405, in the closed state. Figure 14 In the interface shown in 'c', the LOG button 1405 is enabled; the fourth operation is to collapse the third-level menu area, as shown in the image. Figure 20 The embodiment shown describes the process of exiting the third-level menu area; upon returning to the sixth interface, the following is displayed: Figure 14 In the interface shown by d, the filter button 1401 and / or the beauty button 1402 are in the off state.

[0283] In this way, when two function buttons are naturally mutually exclusive, the electronic device can automatically turn off or keep the other function button off when the other function button is turned on; and automatically turn off or keep the other function button off when the other function button is turned on. This reduces the impact on the power consumption and computing power of the electronic device when mutually exclusive functions are turned on at the same time.

[0284] Optionally, after the electronic device displays the sixth interface, the method further includes: in the sixth interface, the electronic device receives a fifth operation; in response to the fifth operation, the electronic device displays an eighth interface; wherein the seventh interface includes a fourth area; the fourth area includes a sixth button; and the sixth button is in an unavailable state.

[0285] The sixth interface can correspond to Figure 15 In the interface shown in Figure 'a', the fifth operation can be used to bring up the three-level menu area; the eighth interface can be... Figure 15 The interface shown in b is shown in the image. The sixth button can be the HDR video button 1504.

[0286] In this way, in some scenarios, electronic devices can also set priorities for two mutually exclusive function buttons. When the function button with higher priority is turned on, the function button with lower priority is grayed out. By graying out the button, the user is informed that the button is unavailable, which can reduce the occurrence of user error.

[0287] Optionally, after the electronic device displays the eighth interface, the process includes: the electronic device receiving an operation on the sixth button; in response to the operation on the sixth button, the electronic device displaying a second prompt message on the eighth interface; the second prompt message indicating that the function of the sixth button is unavailable when the function of the fourth button is enabled.
