Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 This is only an example of an electronic device and does not constitute a limitation on the electronic device. It may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or have different components.

[0054] The input unit 130 can be used to receive input digital or character information, and generate key signal inputs related to the user settings and function controls of the electronic device. Specifically, the input unit 130 may include a touch screen 131 (optional) and / or other input devices 131. The touch screen 131 can collect touch operations of the user on or near it (such as operations of the user using a finger, a joint, a stylus, or any suitable object on or near the touch screen), and drive corresponding connection devices according to a pre-set program. The touch screen can detect the touch actions of the user on the touch screen, convert the touch actions into touch signals and send them to the processor 170, and can receive and execute the commands sent by the processor 170; the touch signals at least include contact coordinate information. The touch screen 131 can provide an input interface and an output interface between the electronic device and the user. In addition, various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave can be used to implement the touch screen.

Specifically, the other input devices 131 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, power on / off keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc.

[0055] The display screen 140 can be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user, various menus of the electronic device, an interactive interface, file display, and / or the playback of any multimedia file.

[0056] The memory 120 can be used to store instructions and data. The memory 120 mainly includes a storage instruction area and a storage data area. The storage data area can store various data, such as multimedia files, texts, etc.; the storage instruction area can store software units such as an operating system, applications, instructions required for at least one function, or their subsets or extended sets. It may also include a non-volatile random access memory; it provides the processor 170 with management of the hardware, software, and data resources in the computing processing device, supports control software and applications. It is also used for the storage of multimedia files, and the storage of running programs and applications.

[0057] The processor 170 is the control center of the electronic device, connecting various parts of the entire electronic device through various interfaces and circuits. By running or executing instructions stored in the memory 120 and invoking data stored in the memory 120, it performs various functions of the electronic device and processes data, thereby exercising overall control over the electronic device. Optionally, the processor 170 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 170 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Among them, the application processor mainly processes the operating system, user interface, application programs, etc., and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communication. It can be understood that the above-mentioned modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 170. In some embodiments, the processor and the memory may be implemented on a single chip, and in some embodiments, they may also be separately implemented on independent chips. The processor 170 can also be used to generate corresponding operation control signals, send them to corresponding components of the computing and processing device, read and process data in the software, especially read and process data and programs in the memory 120, so that each functional module therein executes corresponding functions, thereby controlling the corresponding components to act according to the requirements of the instructions.

[0058] Among them, the memory 120 can be used to store software codes related to the information query method. The processor 170 can execute the software codes in the memory 120 or can also schedule other units (such as the above-mentioned input unit 130 and the display screen 140) to implement corresponding functions.

[0059] The radio frequency unit 110 (optional) can be used for receiving and transmitting information or signals during a call. For example, after receiving the downlink information from the base station, it is sent to the processor 170 for processing; in addition, the uplink data is sent to the base station. Generally, the radio frequency unit 110 includes but is not limited to an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low noise amplifier (LNA), a duplexer, etc. In addition, the radio frequency unit 110 can also communicate with network devices and other devices via wireless communication.

[0060] Among them, in the embodiment of this application, the radio frequency unit 110 can send data to other devices and can also receive data sent by other devices. It should be understood that the radio frequency unit 110 is optional and can be replaced by other communication interfaces, such as a network port.

[0061] The electronic device also includes a power supply 190 (such as a battery) for supplying power to each component. Preferably, the power supply can be logically connected to the processor 170 through a power management system, so as to realize functions such as management of charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system.

[0062] The electronic device also includes an external interface 180. This external interface can be a standard Micro USB interface or a multi-pin connector, and can be used to connect the electronic device to other devices for communication, or can be used to connect a charger to charge the electronic device.

[0063] Although not shown, the electronic device may also include a flash, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) module, a Bluetooth module, sensors with different functions, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0064] The processor 170 in the above-mentioned electronic device may be a hardware circuit (such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), a microprocessor, or a microcontroller, etc.), or a combination of these hardware circuits. For example, the processor may be a hardware system with the function of executing instructions, such as a CPU, a DSP, etc., or a hardware system without the function of executing instructions, such as an ASIC, an FPGA, etc., or a combination of the above-mentioned hardware system without the function of executing instructions and the hardware system with the function of executing instructions.

[0065] Next, the information query method provided by this application will be introduced through the following embodiments.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a schematic flowchart of the information query method provided by the embodiment of this application. This information query method is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device is provided with a camera, a display screen, and an information selection button. The information query method includes:

[0067] Step S201: When detecting a first button event triggered by a user operating the information selection button, turn on the camera and display a preview screen of the camera on the display screen.

[0068] Among them, the camera can be set on the back of the electronic device, the display screen can be set on the front of the electronic device, and the information selection button is a physical button for triggering information selection and query. The information selection button can be set on the back of the electronic device.

[0069] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the information selection button to be set on the back of the electronic device. For example, the information selection button can also be set on the front of the electronic device or on the side of the electronic device.

[0070] In order to enable the user to conveniently operate the information selection button when holding the electronic device, the information selection button is preferably set on the back of the electronic device. Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 , which shows a schematic diagram of the setting positions of the camera, the information selection button, and the display screen of the electronic device. Figure 3 In, the camera and the information selection button are set on the back of the electronic device. The camera and the information selection button are respectively connected to the main board installed in the inner cavity of the electronic device housing, and the display screen is set on the front of the electronic device.

[0071] In this embodiment, when a first key event triggered by a user operation information selection key is detected, if the information query application is not enabled on the electronic device, the information query application is enabled, and the photographing information acquisition function in the information query application is enabled. When the photographing information acquisition function in the information query application is enabled, the camera is enabled (for example, Figure 3 the rear camera in

[0072] ), and a preview screen of the camera is displayed on the display screen. It can be seen that when the user wants to query information, the user only needs to operate the information selection key to enable the information query application and the photographing information acquisition function in the information query application, thus simplifying the user operation. Figure 3 ), and the camera is enabled (for example,

[0073] the rear camera in

[0074] ), so that the camera is in a preview state, and a preview screen of the camera is displayed on the display screen of the electronic device. Figure 4 It should be noted that after the camera of the electronic device is enabled, the user can align the camera of the electronic device with the information to be queried, so that the information to be queried is located in the preview screen of the camera.

[0075] Step S202: When a second key event triggered by a user operation information selection key is detected, the target information is locked by controlling the camera to perform a shooting operation, and the target information is queried to obtain relevant information about the target information.

[0076] Among them, the target information is the information to be queried. The target information in this embodiment can be words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, articles, etc. in any language. The relevant information of the target information is the information related to the target information, such as pronunciation, part of speech, meaning, synonyms, antonyms, translations, etc.

[0077] As mentioned above, the preview screen of the camera may include an information selection box. When the user confirms that the information to be queried is within the information selection box in the preview screen of the camera, the user can operate the information selection button to trigger a second button event. When the second button event of the information selection button is detected, the camera is controlled to perform a shooting operation to lock the information to be queried (the information within the information selection box in the picture taken by the camera), so as to complete the selection of the information to be queried and query the information to be queried. It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the second button event of the information selection button is detected, the selection of the information to be queried and the query of the information to be queried are completed.

[0078] As mentioned above, the preview screen of the camera may not include an information selection box. In this case, when the user confirms that the information to be queried is within the preview screen of the camera, the user can operate the information selection button to trigger a second button event. When the second button event of the information selection button is detected, the camera is controlled to perform a shooting operation to lock the information to be queried, so as to complete the selection of the information to be queried (the information in the picture taken by the camera) and query the information to be queried.

[0079] In a possible implementation, the first button event triggered by the user operating the information selection button may be a button press event triggered by the user pressing the information selection button, and the second button event triggered by the user operating the information selection button may be a button release event triggered by the user releasing the information selection button. That is, when the user presses the information selection button, the camera is turned on to select the information to be queried, and when the user releases the information selection button, the information to be queried is locked, the selection of the information to be queried is completed, and the information to be queried is queried. Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the first button event triggered by the user operating the information selection button may be a first button press and release event triggered by the user pressing and releasing the information selection button, and the second button event triggered by the user operating the information selection button may be a second button press and release event triggered by the user pressing and releasing the information selection button. That is, when the user presses and releases the information selection button, the camera is turned on to select the information to be queried, and when the user presses and releases the information selection button again, the information to be queried is locked, the selection of the information to be queried is completed, and the information to be queried is queried.

[0080] Step S203: Output relevant information of the target information.

[0081] In a possible implementation, the relevant information of the target information can be displayed on the display screen, that is, the relevant information of the target information can be output by means of display on the display screen.

[0082] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the output method of the relevant information of the target information to be displayed on the display screen. For example, the relevant information of the target information can also be output by voice broadcast, or the relevant information of the target information can be output by both the display screen display method and the voice playback method at the same time.

[0083] In the information query method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the user operates the information selection button to trigger the first button event, the camera is turned on, and the preview screen of the camera is displayed on the display screen. After the camera is turned on, the user can aim the camera at the information to be queried and view the preview screen of the camera through the display screen. When it is confirmed that the information to be queried is located in the preview screen of the camera, the user can operate the information selection button to trigger the second button event. When the second button event is detected, the camera is controlled to perform a shooting operation to lock the information to be queried, that is, the target information, and the target information is queried to obtain the relevant information of the target information, and then the relevant information of the target information is output. In the information query method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the user operates the information selection button to trigger the first button event, the camera is turned on to select the information to be queried. When the user operates the information selection button to trigger the second button event, the information to be queried is locked, the selection of the information to be queried is completed, and the information to be queried is queried. The information query method provided by the embodiment of the present application only requires the user to simply operate the information selection button to realize the input and query of the information to be queried. Compared with the existing information query methods, the information query method provided by the embodiment of the present application improves the input efficiency of the information to be queried, enhances the user operation convenience of information query, and greatly improves the user experience.

[0084] Based on the information query method provided in the above embodiment, a specific example is used to further introduce the information query method.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 5 , which shows a specific example of the information query method applied to an electronic device (the electronic device is provided with an information selection button, a rear camera and a display screen), and may include:

[0086] Step S501: When a button press event triggered by the user pressing the information selection button is detected, turn on the rear camera and display the preview screen of the rear camera on the display screen.

[0087] Among them, the preview screen of the rear camera contains an information selection frame.

[0088] When the user wants to query information, hold the handheld electronic device, face the display screen, and press the information selection button with a finger. When the information selection button is pressed, a button press event will be triggered. When the button press event of the information selection button is detected, turn on the rear camera so that the rear camera is in the preview state, and display the preview image of the rear camera on the display screen of the electronic device.

[0089] After the rear camera of the electronic device is turned on, the user can aim the rear camera of the electronic device at the information to be queried so that the information to be queried is within the information selection frame in the preview image of the rear camera.

[0090] In this embodiment, when the button press event triggered by the user pressing the information selection button is detected, if the information query application is not turned on in the electronic device, then turn on the information query application and turn on the photo-taking information function in the information query application. When the photo-taking information function in the information query application is turned on, turn on the rear camera and display the preview image of the rear camera on the display screen. It can be seen that when the user wants to query information, only need to press the information selection button to turn on the information query application and the photo-taking information function in the information query application, thus simplifying the user operation.

[0091] In addition, when the button press event triggered by the user pressing the information selection button is detected, if the information query application is turned on in the electronic device but the photo-taking information function is not turned on, then turn on the photo-taking information function and turn on the rear camera.

[0092] Optionally, the information query method provided in this embodiment may further include: obtaining the relevant information of the information selected by the information selection frame in the preview image of the rear camera, and displaying the relevant information of the information selected by the information selection frame in the preview image of the rear camera.

[0093] It should be noted that when the user operates the electronic device to select the information to be queried, the user usually moves the electronic device so that the information to be queried is within the information selection frame in the preview image of the rear camera. It can be understood that when the user moves the electronic device, the information selection frame will move with the movement of the electronic device. Furthermore, the information selection frame will select different information. Correspondingly, the relevant information of different information will be displayed in the preview image of the rear camera. That is, the information selected by the information selection frame in the preview image of the rear camera (i.e., the information within the information selection frame) and the relevant information of the information selected by the information selection frame in the preview image will change with the change of the position of the information selection frame. For example, the information selected by the information selection frame in the preview image of the rear camera is word A, and the relevant information of word A is displayed in the preview image. When the information selection frame moves so that the selected information becomes word B, the relevant information of word B is displayed in the preview image.

[0094] Step S502: When a key release event triggered by the user releasing the information selection key is detected, control the rear camera to perform a shooting operation to lock the target information, and query the target information to obtain relevant information about the target information.

[0095] When the user confirms that the information to be queried is within the information selection box in the preview screen of the rear camera, the user can release the information selection key. At this time, the key returns, triggering a key release event. When the key release event of the information selection key is detected, control the rear camera to perform a shooting operation to lock the target information (i.e., the information selected by the information selection box), and query the target information to obtain relevant information about the target information.

[0096] In this embodiment, the user presses the information selection key to turn on the camera to select the information to be queried, and the user releases the information selection key to lock the information to be queried, completing the selection of the information to be queried and querying the information to be queried.

[0097] Step S503: Display the relevant information of the target information on the display screen.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 6 , which shows a schematic diagram of displaying the relevant information of the target information on the display screen. It should be noted that when displaying the relevant information of the target information, all the relevant information of the target information can be displayed on the query result display interface. Considering that in some cases, all the relevant information of the target information is relatively large, some information can be displayed on the query result display interface, and an operation item for triggering the display of more information can be set on the query result display interface. When the user operates this operation item (such as clicking on this operation item), other information is displayed. As Figure 6 shown, when the user clicks "View More Dictionary Content", other dictionary content can be displayed, as Figure 7 shown.

[0099] In the information query method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the user presses the information selection button to trigger a button press event, the rear camera is turned on, and the preview screen of the rear camera is displayed on the display screen. After the rear camera is turned on, the user can aim the rear camera at the information to be queried and view the preview screen of the rear camera through the display screen. When it is confirmed that the information to be queried is within the information selection box in the preview screen, the user can release the information selection button to trigger a button release event. When the button release event is detected, the camera is controlled to perform a shooting operation to lock the information to be queried, that is, the target information, and the target information is queried to obtain relevant information about the target information, and then the relevant information of the target information is displayed on the display screen.
