[0087] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0088] Please also read Figures 1 to 3 , the present application provides a method for controlling a camera widget, the control method being applied to an electronic device 300. Among them, Figure 1 A first schematic diagram of an initial display interface of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0089] Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for controlling a camera widget provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 This is a first schematic diagram of a display interface of an electronic device when a camera widget enters a shooting mode according to an embodiment of the present application. The control method of the camera widget can be adjusted in sequence and steps can be added or removed, which is not limited here.

[0090] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 300 includes a touch display screen 31 and a camera 32 .

[0091] like Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the camera widget includes steps S1 to S4, which are described in detail as follows:

[0092] In step S1, an initial display interface 1 is displayed on the touch screen 31. The initial display interface 1 displays a camera widget entry interface 10 and is divided into at least a first display area 201 and a second display area 202. The sum of the sizes of the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 is smaller than the size of the initial display interface 1.

[0093] In step S2 , in response to a trigger instruction on the camera widget entry interface 10 , the camera enters the shooting mode, forms a shooting function area 2011 in the first display area 201 , and forms a viewfinder interface 2021 in the second display area 202 to display the image captured by the camera 32 .

[0094] Step S3 , displaying the display area of the initial display interface 1 excluding the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 based on the initial display content displayed by the initial display interface 1 .

[0095] Step S4: In response to the corresponding operation on the shooting function area 2011, instruct the camera 32 to shoot.

[0096] The camera widget is a small window or widget formed on the display interface based on the system camera app of the electronic device 300. After being activated, the camera widget displays important information and important function controls of the system camera app (Application) on the display interface, while disabling most of the system camera app's functions, thereby enabling certain necessary functions. Therefore, the camera widget can be used to activate the shooting function on the initial display interface 1. Compared with the method of opening the system camera app through the app icon to activate the shooting function, there is no need to switch from the initial display interface to a separate shooting window, resulting in less system computing power, faster response speed, lower power consumption, and more convenient operation.

[0097] The initial display content displayed on the initial display interface 1 refers to the content displayed when the initial display interface 1 is displayed on the touch screen 31 before a trigger instruction is input to the camera widget entry interface 10 to control the camera widget to enter the shooting mode.

[0098] The camera widget control method provided in this application displays a camera widget entry interface 10 on an initial display interface 1, and in response to a trigger instruction on the camera widget entry interface 10, enters a shooting mode, forms a shooting function area 2011 in a first display area 201, forms a viewfinder interface 2021 in a second display area 202, and displays the display areas other than the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 in the initial display interface based on the initial display content displayed on the initial display interface. In this way, a user can enter the shooting mode by manipulating the camera widget entry interface 10, which can meet the user's diverse human-computer interaction needs. Furthermore, since the display areas other than the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 in the initial display interface 1 do not change before and after entering the shooting mode, compared to the method of activating the shooting function by entering a separate shooting window through the system camera app icon, the system's computing workload and the power loss caused by screen switching can be reduced.

[0099] Exemplarily, the electronic device 300 may be a large screen, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, an artificial intelligence (AI) device, a wearable device, an in-vehicle device, a smart home device and / or a smart city device, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not impose any special restrictions on the specific type of the electronic device.

[0100] Exemplarily, the touch screen 31 may be a light emitting diode (LED) display screen, a liquid crystal display (LCD) display screen, or an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display screen.

[0101] Exemplarily, the number of the cameras 32 may be one or more, for example, a front camera and a rear camera, wherein the front camera and the rear camera respectively include one or more of a wide-angle camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera, a telephoto camera, a zoom camera, a macro camera, and a depth camera.

[0102] In some implementations, the initial display interface 1 can be the display interface of the electronic device 300 after the system is unlocked, or it can be the lock screen interface of the electronic device 300, that is, the camera widget entry interface 10 can be displayed on the lock screen interface. In this way, the user can enter the shooting mode through the camera widget entry interface 10 without unlocking the system, which is more convenient to operate.

[0103] In some embodiments, the touch display screen 31 of the electronic device 300 can be a folding screen, that is, it includes an inner screen and an outer screen. When the electronic device 300 is in a folded state, the initial display interface 1 can be displayed on the outer screen. When the camera widget is triggered to enter the shooting mode, the shooting function area 2011 and the viewfinder interface 2021 can also be formed on the outer screen. In this way, the user does not need to unfold the electronic device 300 to enter the shooting mode through the camera widget entry interface 10, which is convenient for taking snapshots.

[0104] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the size of the camera widget entry interface 10 is smaller than the size of the first display area 201, and the size of the first display area 201 is smaller than the second display area 202. In this way, the camera widget entry interface 10 can occupy a smaller display space on the initial display interface 1, so that the initial display interface 1 appears more concise when the shooting function is not enabled. Figure 3 As shown, the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 can be two independent display areas. In other embodiments, the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 can also partially overlap. In this case, the shooting function area 2011 can be located in the overlapping area of the first display area 201 and the second display area 202.

[0105] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the camera widget entry interface 10 includes a trigger control 11 and an expansion mark 12 on the periphery of the trigger control 11. The expansion mark 12 is used to guide the user to expect that the window will expand after clicking the trigger control 11.

[0106] In some embodiments, a trigger instruction for the camera widget entry interface 10 can be a touch operation (such as single click, double click, long press, etc.), that is, the user can enter the shooting mode by clicking the trigger control 11 in the camera widget entry interface 10.

[0107] In some embodiments, the camera widget control method further includes:

[0108] In response to a trigger instruction sent by a wearable device connected to the electronic device 300, the shooting mode is entered; and in response to a shooting instruction sent by the wearable device, the camera 32 is instructed to shoot.

[0109] The wearable device includes a smart watch, a smart bracelet, smart glasses, an earphone box, etc. In this way, the user can remotely control the electronic device 300 through the wearable device to trigger the camera widget to shoot without touching the electronic device 300, which is more convenient.

[0110] In some embodiments, displaying the display area other than the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 in the initial display interface 1 based on the initial display content displayed by the initial display interface 1 includes:

[0111] The display area other than the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 in the initial display interface 1 is displayed based on the initial display content displayed by the initial display interface 1, and the display effect is adjusted to reduce the power consumption of the area corresponding to the initial display interface 1.

[0112] For example, when entering the shooting mode, for the peripheral display areas other than the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 in the initial display interface 1, when displaying based on the initial display content displayed on the initial display interface 1, the display effect can be adjusted by lowering the display brightness of the peripheral display areas, and / or reducing the refresh frequency of these peripheral display areas, and / or reducing the resolution of the peripheral display areas, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the power consumption of the peripheral display areas.

[0113] In this way, compared with the method of starting the shooting function by opening the system camera APP through the APP icon, the present application starts the shooting function through the camera widget. On the one hand, there is no need to change the display content of the peripheral display area, thereby reducing the system's computing power and saving power consumption caused by screen switching. On the other hand, by adjusting the display effect of the peripheral display area, the power consumption of the peripheral display area can be further reduced.

[0114] In some embodiments, forming the viewfinder interface 2021 in the second display area 202 includes:

[0115] A framing interface 2021 is formed in the second display area 202 , and the display brightness of the second display area 202 is increased and / or the refresh rate of the second display area 202 is increased.

[0116] In this way, the camera widget can achieve better shooting effects.

[0117] In some embodiments, the electronic device 300 has multiple cameras 32, and the camera widget is set with preset shooting parameters. The multiple cameras 32 can be several types of wide-angle cameras, ultra-wide-angle cameras, telephoto cameras, zoom cameras, macro cameras, and depth cameras.

[0118] The control method of the camera widget further includes:

[0119] After entering the shooting mode, only the camera 32 corresponding to the preset shooting parameters is called to perform shooting, and at least part of the preset shooting parameters are fixed during the shooting period.

[0120] Exemplarily, the preset shooting parameters may include one or more of focus mode, image magnification, resolution, beautification parameters, filter color, flash effect, and filter intensity. For example, if the preset shooting parameters correspond to a zoom camera, the camera widget will only use the zoom camera after entering shooting mode. This eliminates the need to activate other cameras, thus reducing camera power consumption.

[0121] For example, during capture, one or more of the focus mode, image magnification, resolution, beautification parameters, filter color, flash effect, and filter intensity can be kept constant. For example, the image magnification and filter intensity can be kept constant, while the corresponding capture algorithm can be invoked based on the lighting and color of the captured image. This can reduce the complexity and time of image processing, thereby improving the response speed of the camera widget.

[0122] In some embodiments, the electronic device 300 further includes a system camera APP, which has multiple shooting modes and multiple shooting parameter adjustment controls.

[0123] The control method of the camera widget further includes:

[0124] After entering the shooting mode, only some of the multiple shooting modes are called for user selection, and / or only some of the multiple shooting parameter adjustment controls are formed for user manipulation.

[0125] For example, the multiple shooting modes of the system camera APP may include slow motion mode, panoramic mode, HDR mode, professional mode, night scene mode, portrait mode, large aperture mode, photo mode, video mode, time-lapse mode, high pixel mode, streamer shutter mode, black and white art mode, different focal length modes, and different wide-angle modes. After entering the shooting mode, the camera widget only calls the photo mode and video mode for the user to select. At this time, the user can only select the photo mode or the video mode by inputting different touch commands to the shooting function area 2011, and cannot select other shooting modes.

[0126] In this way, by reducing the number of photographing modes in the system camera APP, the amount of computation of the system can be reduced, thereby improving the response speed of the camera widget.

[0127] For example, the multiple shooting parameter adjustment controls of the system camera APP may include image magnification control, resolution control, frame rate control, flash effect control, filter effect control, beauty effect control, and camera switching control. Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, after entering the shooting mode, the camera widget only forms an image magnification control, a flash effect control, and a camera switching control for user manipulation.

[0128] In this way, by reducing the various shooting parameter adjustment controls in the system camera APP, the function modules called can be reduced, thereby improving the response speed of the camera widget.

[0129] In some embodiments, the camera widget control method further includes:

[0130] After entering the shooting mode, for at least part of the shooting parameter adjustment controls formed, only part of the adjustable parameter values are called for user selection.

[0131] For example, in the system camera app, the adjustable parameters of the image magnification control include 1.0x, 1.1x, 1.2x, ... 10x, i.e., the adjustment step is 0.1x. After the camera widget enters shooting mode, an image magnification control 25 is formed in the first display area 201, and the adjustable parameter values called by the image magnification control 25 only include 1x, 2x, ... 10x, i.e., the adjustment step is 1x.

[0132] In this way, by reducing the adjustable parameter values in the shooting parameter adjustment control, the called functional modules can be reduced, thereby improving the response speed of the camera widget.

[0133] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the shooting function area 2011 includes a shutter control 24 , and the first display area 201 also includes an additional function area 2012 .

[0134] In response to the corresponding operation on the shooting function area 2011, instructing the camera 32 to shoot, including:

[0135] In response to a touch operation on the shutter control 24 , the image currently displayed in the viewfinder interface 2021 is saved.

[0136] For example, Figure 3 As shown, when the user clicks the shutter control 24, the camera 32 is instructed to enter the photo mode. Figure 4 As shown, when the user long presses the shutter control 24, the camera 32 is instructed to enter the video recording mode. In the video recording mode, the additional function area 2012 may further display a video recording time progress bar 26 with a total time equal to a preset video recording time (e.g., 1 minute) to remind the user of the current video recording time.

[0137] In some embodiments, the camera widget control method further includes:

[0138] In the shooting mode, in response to a touch operation on a display area other than the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 in the initial display interface 1 , the camera 32 is instructed to shoot or stop shooting.

[0139] Among them, when the user takes a selfie with the rear camera, the shutter control 24 is small in size and inconvenient to operate. In this embodiment, the user can take a picture by clicking on the display area other than the first display area 201 and the second display area 202 in the initial display interface 1, which is more convenient to operate.

[0140] In some embodiments, the camera widget control method further includes:

[0141] In response to a trigger instruction on the camera widget entry interface 10 , at least one of a flash control 22 , a camera switch control 23 and an album entry 21 is formed in the additional function area 2012 .

[0142] For example, Figure 3 As shown, after the camera widget enters the shooting mode, a flash control 22 , a camera switch control 23 and an album entrance 21 are formed in the additional function area 2012 , and an image magnification control 25 is also formed in the second display area 202 .

[0143] Furthermore, the control method of the camera widget further includes:

[0144] turning on or off the flashlight in response to a touch operation on the flashlight control 22;

[0145] In response to a touch operation on the lens switching control 23 , the front shooting or the rear shooting is switched; and in response to a pull operation on the image magnification control 25 , the magnification of the image is adjusted.

[0146] In this way, when taking pictures, the user can choose to turn on or off the flash, switch between front-facing and rear-facing shooting, and adjust the image magnification in the camera widget as needed, making it convenient for the user to adjust the shooting parameters to meet different shooting needs.

[0147] In some embodiments, after responding to the touch operation on the shutter control 24 and saving the image currently displayed in the viewfinder interface 2021, the control method of the camera widget further includes:

[0148] The image saved this time is displayed on the viewfinder interface 2021 for a preset time period; and after the preset time period, the viewfinder interface 2021 is restored to continue displaying the image acquired by the camera 32.

[0149] For example, the preset time length is 2 seconds. In this way, the user can instantly view the shooting effect of the image, thereby adjusting the shooting parameters and / or shooting angle, so that the user can obtain a satisfactory shooting effect.

[0150] In some embodiments, the album corresponding to the album entry 21 only saves images taken by the camera widget, which is different from the system album APP. The system album APP can save images taken by the camera widget and images taken by the system camera APP.

[0151] The control method of the camera widget further includes:

[0152] In response to a touch operation on the album entrance 21 , the album display mode is entered, and the selected image is displayed on the viewfinder interface 2021 .

[0153] Specifically, the album entry 21 includes a thumbnail sub-area 211 and an album expansion control 212 located on a first side of the thumbnail sub-area 211. The thumbnail sub-area 211 displays a thumbnail of a preset image. For example, the preset image may be a photo and / or video taken the last time the camera widget was launched.
