Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image processing and information management, and in particular to an album image marking method. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of digital technology, images have become an indispensable information carrier in our daily life and work. With the popularization of devices such as digital cameras and smartphones, as well as the wide application of Internet services such as social media and cloud storage, the number of images captured and saved by people every day has shown an explosive growth. This growth trend brings a severe challenge: how to efficiently manage and retrieve these massive image resources.

[0003] The existing album image management and marking have the following problems: Complexity of text input in traditional marking methods: In the process of completing text input in traditional marking methods, it usually takes 5 to 10 cumbersome steps. These steps may include opening the marking tool, selecting the text input box, positioning the input position, inputting the text content, adjusting the text format, etc., making the entire text input process appear rather lengthy and complex.

[0004] Difficulty in setting the style of traditional marking text: When setting the style of traditional marking text such as the font size, font color, and placement position of the text, users often need to perform 4 to 6 steps. These steps may involve selecting the style menu, adjusting parameter values, previewing the effect, etc., increasing the complexity and time cost of user operations.

[0005] Editing limitations of traditional marking text: There are two main limitations in traditional marking text methods. One is directly rewriting the original photo, and this operation is usually irreversible, that is, once the marking is completed, users cannot undo the previous operation. The other is that although it can be undone and restored to the original state, the text after undoing cannot be edited and modified again, which limits the flexibility and creativity of users.

[0006] Problems of saving and editing traditional marking text: Traditional marking text can be saved as a new photo with markings, but this saving method directly rewrites the original photo, and there are also problems of not being able to undo and not being able to edit and modify. This means that once saved, users cannot make any form of modification or undo to the markings.

[0007] Search limitations of traditional marking text: If traditional marking text is to be searched, it usually relies on image recognition and text technology. However, the recognition error rate of this technology is relatively high, and it often searches out irrelevant information, resulting in a very low matching degree and unable to meet the accurate search needs of users.

[0008] Operational complexity of traditional photo album structures: Traditional photo album structures usually adopt a tree structure, and users need to frequently enter and return to the home page when viewing different photo albums. This operation method is not only cumbersome but also reduces the user experience.

[0009] Photo management problems in traditional photo albums: Most traditional photo albums do not have the design of sub-albums, resulting in extremely time-consuming and laborious searching when the number of photos increases. Even with the design of sub-albums, users need to add an additional operation of entering and returning to a level, which also increases the complexity of the operation.

[0010] Cross-album operation limitations in traditional photo albums: The traditional photo album structure determines that users cannot perform multiple selections and batch operations on photos across different photo albums. This limitation causes many inconveniences for users when managing a large number of photos.

[0011] Separation of traditional photo albums from marking operations: The establishment of traditional photo albums usually requires a separate operation module and cannot be carried out simultaneously with marking operations. This separated design increases the steps and time cost of user operations.

[0012] Complexity of adding sub-albums in traditional photo albums: In traditional photo albums, adding sub-albums requires additional operation steps. After adding a sub-album, users also need to add photos to the sub-album one by one, and this cumbersome operation process reduces the user's management efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The present invention aims to solve the problems of cumbersome operations in existing photo album management, high user learning costs, and difficulty in finding photos, and provides an innovative method for marking and classifying photo album images. Through a series of predefined and concise interaction actions, users can achieve batch marking input of single or multiple photos with the fewest operation steps, including preset placement positions and text styles. The user's information input directly reflects their operation logic and intention, greatly reducing the learning cost and enhancing the user experience.

[0014] To achieve the above object, a method for marking photo album images provided by the present invention includes: - At least one unit image is selected in the thumbnail window of the photo album, or a single unit image displayed in the detailed viewing window of the photo album is selected; - Receive an addition instruction to add tag information to the selected unit image; - Display a text view window for inputting text content; - Receive at least one item of text content about the tag in the text view window; - Based on the text content of the tag, convert it into unit tag information correspondingly, and float the unit tag information on the unit tag floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the selected unit image.

[0015] Further, the method further includes: - Receiving, in a text view window, input of at least one item of text content regarding a main group; - Based on the text content of the main group, collecting and folding the selected unit images to form an orderly arranged main album set, and correspondingly converting the text content of the main group into group label information, so as to correspondingly display the group label information on the group label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the collected main album set and / or on the unit label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the selected unit images.

[0016] Further, the method further includes: - Receiving, in a text view window, input of text content regarding a main group and a subgroup; - Based on the text content of the subgroup, collecting and storing the selected unit images to form an orderly arranged subgroup album set, and forming a new main album set or collecting it into an existing main album set according to the text content of the main group, so as to correspondingly convert the text content of the subgroup into sub-label information and correspondingly display it on the sub-label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the collected subgroup album set and / or on the unit label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the selected unit images, and correspondingly converting the text content of the main group into group label information and correspondingly displaying it on the sub-label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the collected subgroup album set.

[0017] Further, when at least one unit image is selected in the thumbnail window of the album, the addition instruction is a predetermined interaction action, so as to display a text view window based on this interaction action.

[0018] Further, when a single unit image displayed in the detailed viewing window of the album is selected, the addition instruction is that an addition menu item in the detailed viewing window is selected, so as to display a text view window based on the selection of the addition menu item.

[0019] Further, at least one label text box for inputting text content regarding labels is provided on the text view window.

[0020] Further, at least one label text box for inputting text content regarding a main group and a subgroup is provided on the text view window.

[0021] The present invention adopts the above scheme, and its beneficial effects are as follows: 1) It provides an efficient and intuitive image marking method, and users can add custom labels to images through simple interaction actions.

[0022] 2) Through the management of main group and subgroup labels, hierarchical classification management of images is realized, and the retrieval efficiency is improved.

[0023] 3) The user interface design is simple and clear, easy to operate, and the user experience is improved. Description of the Drawings

[0032] To facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0033] Refer to the attached Figures 1 - 10 As shown, in this embodiment, an album image marking method is applied to an electronic device, and the electronic device mentioned here can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart TV, an e - book reader, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc. Refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the album image marking method includes the following steps.

[0034] In step S101, at least one unit image is selected in the thumbnail window of the photo album, or the single unit image displayed in the detailed viewing window of the photo album is selected. Here, the thumbnail window of the photo album displays several unit images arranged in an orderly tiled manner in a reduced size, while the detailed viewing window of the photo album displays a single unit image in an enlarged size. At this time, the user can select one or more unit images through specific operation actions (such as single-point selection, swipe selection, box selection, individual selection across different photo albums, etc.) in different window interfaces of the photo album.

[0035] In step S102, an addition instruction for adding label information to the selected unit image is received. Among them, the addition instructions based on the user in different window interfaces of the photo album also vary. Specifically, when at least one unit image is selected in the thumbnail window of the photo album, the addition instruction is a predetermined interaction action (such as double-clicking, long-pressing, etc. operation actions), so as to display a text view window based on this interaction action. When the single unit image displayed in the detailed viewing window of the photo album is selected, the addition instruction is that the addition menu item in the detailed viewing window is selected, so as to display a text view window based on the selection of the addition menu item.

[0036] In step S103, a text view window for inputting text content is displayed. Among them, at least one label text box for inputting text content about the label is provided on the text view window. At this time, the user can customize and input text content about the label in the label text box accordingly.

[0037] In step S104, at least one item of text content about the label is received in the text view window, that is: after the user customizes and inputs text content about the label in the label text box correspondingly, the user can click the enter key provided on the input keyboard of the electronic device to complete the text input in the label text box. Subsequently, the text input can be ended, or the focus can be jumped to the next label text box to continue receiving the input text content.

[0038] In step S105, the text content of the label is correspondingly converted into unit label information, and the unit label information is correspondingly displayed floating on the unit label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the selected unit image.

[0039] Specifically, the applicant has publicly elaborated on the linkage relationship between different windows of the photo album and the label floating layer in the previously applied patents "2024116049030" and "2024116049736". For the convenience of understanding, the label floating layer is briefly described below. A label floating layer is formed by superimposing on the upper layer of the thumbnail window or the detailed viewing window of the photo album. The label floating layer correspondingly forms unit label floating layers that overlap with each individual image according to the layout of the thumbnail window. Thus, the unit label information is correspondingly floatingly displayed on the unit label floating layer that overlaps with the individual image; in addition, under the detailed viewing window of the photo album, the user can select the display method of the appropriate unit label information as needed, such as stacking display, exiting, or hiding, etc.; while under the thumbnail window of the photo album, the unit label information remains constantly displayed. In this way, it is possible to avoid the visual interference of the unit label information on the user's viewing of a single unit image and avoid interfering with the user's detailed browsing experience.

[0040] The above embodiments describe the editing and display of unit label information for one or more unit images under different windows of the photo album. The user can complete the label editing of the unit image through a single window in the text view window, greatly reducing the usage difficulty and making the operation simple and fast.

[0041] For the convenience of understanding, further explanatory descriptions are made below in combination with specific drawings and reference cases.

[0042] See Figure 4 As shown, it shows that at least one unit image is selected in the thumbnail window of the photo album according to an exemplary embodiment. At this time, the user selects one or more unit images in the thumbnail window of the photo album as needed, and then triggers the display of the text view window through a predetermined interaction action. See Figure 5 As shown, it shows that a single unit image displayed in the detailed viewing window of the photo album is selected according to an exemplary embodiment. At this time, the user selects the current unit image in the detailed viewing window and selects the add menu item in the menu of the detailed viewing window (preferably, the menu can be located at the bottom or other positions of the detailed viewing window. When viewing the unit image, the menu is hidden, and at this time, the menu can be summoned through a specific interaction operation or a hidden case), thereby triggering the display of the text view window.

[0043] See Figure 6 and 7 As shown, it shows a text view window according to an exemplary embodiment. At this time, the user enters the text content of "by the sea" in one of the label text boxes of the text view window for use as subsequent unit label information; in addition, the user can enter the text content of "road" in another label text box of the text view window as needed for use as subsequent unit label information.

[0044] See Figures 8 - 10As shown, it is a text view window shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The received text content of "seaside" and / or "road" is converted into unit label information. Here, the unit label information has specific format parameters such as font style, color, and font size compared to the text content (the format parameters can be adjusted according to user preferences or system default settings to ensure the clarity and readability of the unit label information), so that the unit label information is correspondingly floatingly displayed on the unit label floating layer overlapping the unit image.

[0045] In this embodiment, referring to the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the album image marking method further includes: In step S201, at least one piece of text content about the main group is received in the text view window. Among them, at least one label text box for inputting text content about the main group is provided on the text view window. At this time, the user can custom-enter text content about the main group in the label text box correspondingly.

[0046] In step S202, the selected unit images are collected, folded, and stored to form an orderly arranged main album set based on the text content of the main group, and the group label information is correspondingly converted based on the text content of the main group, so that the group label information is correspondingly floatingly displayed on the group label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the collected main album set and / or on the unit label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the selected unit image.

[0047] Specifically, each selected unit image is folded and stored to form a main album set. Among them, the label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the thumbnail window forms an overlapping and associated group label floating layer in the overlapping area of the main album set. The text content entered by the user about the main group is converted into group label information and correspondingly floatingly displayed in the group label floating layer. Similarly, the group label information can also be on the unit label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the unit image, which is more convenient for the user to intuitively and quickly find the corresponding main album set and intuitively know which main album set the unit image belongs to.

[0048] In summary, steps S201 - S202 are further process expansions of steps S101 - 105 for processing text content related to the main group.

[0049] In this embodiment, referring to the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the album image marking method further includes: In step 301, text content about the main group and the subgroup is received in the text view window. Among them, at least one label text box for inputting text content about the main group and the subgroup is provided on the text view window. At this time, the user can custom-enter text content about the main group and the subgroup in the label text box correspondingly.

[0050] In step 302, based on the text content of the subgroup, the selected unit images are collected and organized to form an orderly arranged sub-album set. Then, based on the text content of the main group, the sub-album set is formed into a new main album set or incorporated into an existing main album set. As a result, the text content of the subgroup is correspondingly converted into sub-label information and is prominently displayed on the sub-label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the collected sub-album set and / or on the unit label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the selected unit images. Also, the text content of the main group is correspondingly converted into group-label information and is prominently displayed on the sub-label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the collected sub-album set.

[0051] Specifically, after several unit images are collected to form a group of image groups, further classification of each unit image under the same image group can be carried out according to actual needs. Thus, the user can select any one or more unit images in the same main album set and collect them as a new subgroup. Correspondingly, the individual unit images of the new subgroup are folded and stored in the expansion interface of the main album set to form an orderly arranged sub-album set. Furthermore, the label floating layer forms a one-to-one overlapping association with the sub-label floating layer corresponding to the overlapping area of the sub-album set based on the image layout of the thumbnail window. Based on this, the text content of the subgroup is correspondingly converted into sub-label information and is prominently displayed on the sub-label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the collected sub-album set. Similarly, the sub-label information can also be prominently displayed on the unit label floating layer superimposed on the unit images in the same sub-album set. In addition, the text content of the main group is correspondingly converted into group-label information and is prominently displayed on the sub-label floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the collected sub-album set, which makes it more convenient for the user to intuitively and quickly find the corresponding main album set and sub-album set and intuitively know which main album set the sub-album set and unit images belong to.

[0052] In summary, steps S301 - S302 are further process expansions of steps S201 - S202 and are used to process the text content related to the main group and subgroup.

[0053] Furthermore, the above-mentioned sub-label information and group-label information have specific format parameters such as font style, color, and font size compared to the text content of the main group and subgroup (these format parameters can be adjusted according to user preferences or system defaults to ensure the clear readability of the sub-label information and group-label information), so that the sub-label information and group-label information are clearly and understandably prominently displayed on the group-label floating layer, sub-label floating layer, and unit-label floating layer.

[0054] For ease of understanding, further explanatory notes will be made below in conjunction with specific drawings and reference cases.

[0055] See Figure 6 and 7As shown, it is a text view window shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The text content of "Europe" received is converted into group tag information, so that the group tag information correspondingly floats on the group tag floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the main album set and / or on the unit tag floating layer superimposed on the selected unit image.

[0056] See Figures 8 - 10 As shown, it is a text view window shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The text content of "Europe" received is converted into group tag information, and the text content of "UK" is converted into sub-tag information, so that the sub-tag information correspondingly floats on the sub-tag floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the aggregated sub-album set and / or on the unit tag floating layer superimposed on the selected unit image, the group tag information correspondingly floats on the sub-tag floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the aggregated sub-album set, and / or the group tag information correspondingly floats on the group tag floating layer superimposed on the upper layer of the main album set, and / or the group tag information correspondingly floats on the unit tag floating layer superimposed on the selected unit image.

[0057] In summary, this embodiment aims to provide users with an efficient and intuitive way to add tags to images in the album, so as to facilitate retrieval and browsing. Through a series of predefined interaction actions, users can add custom tags to each image. These tags will be saved in the database and can float on the image, which is convenient for subsequent intuitive and clear display. Users can easily achieve personalized classification and marking of images according to their own needs, significantly improving the management efficiency.

[0058] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to modify or delete any text content of the above unit tag information, group tag information, or sub-tag information, the relevant text content can be modified or deleted in the text view window, and the modification can be synchronized.

[0059] The above-described embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, makes more possible changes and refinements or modifications to the technical solution of the present invention using the disclosed technical content, which are all equivalent embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the idea of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
