Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of gimbal control technology, and more specifically, to a control method for a handheld gimbal and a handheld gimbal. Background Technology

[0002] As shooting technology continues to develop, users have increasingly higher demands for shooting functions and effects. For example, when using a handheld gimbal for shooting, users expect to achieve a variety of shooting functions.

[0003] In realizing the present invention, the inventors discovered at least the following problems in the related technology: In certain shooting scenarios, the shooting process requires the use of a teleprompter to display prompts to the user to assist in shooting, such as recording speech videos. However, it is currently difficult to implement the teleprompter function when shooting with a handheld gimbal; for example, it is difficult to display prompts while shooting, which limits the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure for ease of explanation. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0025] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this disclosure. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0026] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.

[0027] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B and C", they should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning that is commonly understood by those skilled in the art (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B and C" should include, but is not limited to, a system having A alone, a system having B alone, a system having C alone, a system having A and B, a system having A and C, a system having B and C, and / or a system having A, B and C, etc.).

[0028] Currently, it is difficult to display prompt text while shooting using a handheld gimbal, which limits the user experience.

[0029] For example, in solutions using external teleprompters, the user needs to operate the handheld gimbal, the shooting device, and the external teleprompter simultaneously during filming, resulting in complex operation and a poor user experience. If an external teleprompter is not used, and the prompts are displayed while filming through interaction with the teleprompter software, the compatibility costs between single / multiple teleprompter software and the handheld gimbal are high, and conflicts may occur between the control logic of the teleprompter software and the handheld gimbal.

[0030] Without controlling the scrolling of prompt text to be automatic, via voice recognition, or controlled by an external Bluetooth remote, various problems arise. While automatic scrolling is low-cost, adjusting the display speed of the prompt text during shooting is difficult, forcing users to compromise their speaking speed, resulting in a poor user experience. Voice recognition scrolling works well in ideal indoor environments but performs poorly in outdoor or noisy environments, especially when shooting outdoors or in action with a handheld gimbal, where voice recognition scrolling is almost unusable. Furthermore, voice recognition scrolling requires an API, which is costly, and misreading is difficult to correct. While external Bluetooth remotes allow manual adjustment of the displayed prompt text, the adjustments are granular, typically page-by-page, and require additional hardware and software compatibility. In gimbal scenarios, especially during action shooting, the user experience with additional hardware is poor.

[0031] To address the technical issue of inability to display prompt text in scenarios where users are shooting with a handheld gimbal, embodiments of this disclosure provide a control method for a handheld gimbal. The handheld gimbal includes a control device for controlling the display of prompt text on a display device. The method includes: during shooting with the shooting device mounted on the handheld gimbal, generating a first control command based on user interaction with the control device. The first control command controls the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the displayed prompt text. Embodiments of this disclosure, in gimbal scenarios, can control the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the displayed prompt text during shooting without additional accessories, resulting in low cost and a good user experience.

[0032] Figure 1 A flowchart of a control method for a handheld gimbal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the method 100 includes step S110, during the shooting process of the shooting device mounted on the handheld gimbal, generating a first control command based on the user's interactive operation of the control device, the first control command being used to control the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the prompt text display.

[0034] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the handheld gimbal includes a control device for controlling the display of prompt text on a display device. The control device is a device capable of interacting with the user; for example, it can be a mechanical control on the handheld gimbal, such as a dial or button, or a touch control. User interaction with the control device can include various operations such as touching, clicking, sliding, flicking, and pressing.

[0035] Users can perform various interactive operations on the control device, which correspond to various control commands. One of these commands can be a first control command to control the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the displayed prompt text. Other control commands can be to start the handheld gimbal, turn on the display device, etc.

[0036] The shooting device mounted on the handheld gimbal can be a shooting device on the handheld gimbal, such as one or more cameras; or it can be a shooting device independent of the handheld gimbal, which is mounted on the handheld gimbal by means of clips, magnets, etc., such as a mobile phone or camera.

[0037] In the embodiments of this disclosure, during the shooting process of the shooting device mounted on the handheld gimbal, the user can interact with the control device of the handheld gimbal in real time to control the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the prompt text displayed on the display device.

[0038] The scrolling direction is relative. As long as the tooltip text can be scrolled and changed in a certain direction, that direction can be considered the scrolling direction. For example, the scrolling direction can be up, down, left, right, etc.

[0039] Scrolling speed refers to the parameter of scrolling and changing the prompt text within the display device. For example, it can be a speed value, such as scrolling one line of prompt text per second; or it can be the magnitude of the scrolling change, such as scrolling and changing one line or half a line of prompt text during a user's interaction with the control device.

[0040] For example, in one usage scenario, the user, also known as the videographer, typically needs to share video content or explain the footage to viewers according to a pre-written script, such as when filming vlogs on food, travel, or restaurant themes. In this case, the videographer only needs to pre-set the script as prompt text. While filming using the handheld gimbal, the videographer can simultaneously shoot the vlog and view the script displayed on the screen to share the content with viewers. After sharing the current content, the user can interact with the controls on the handheld gimbal to scroll to the next share or scroll back to the previous share.

[0041] Alternatively, in another use case, when recording a speech video, the photographer can simultaneously film the speech and view the script / subtitles displayed on a screen. At the same time, the photographer can interact with the control device on the handheld gimbal to control the speed of the speech.

[0042] The embodiments of this disclosure, through interaction with the control device on the handheld gimbal, enable control over the scrolling and changing of prompt text displayed on the screen during shooting with the handheld gimbal carrying the shooting device. This achieves a teleprompter function during handheld gimbal shooting, resulting in a good user experience. Furthermore, interaction with the control device also allows for flexible control of the prompt text scrolling, further enhancing the user experience. Moreover, controlling the scrolling and changing of the prompt text display only requires interaction with the handheld gimbal carrying the shooting device; no additional accessories are needed, resulting in low upgrade and modification costs and avoiding compatibility issues between accessories and the handheld gimbal, further contributing to a good user experience.

[0043] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method includes: a display device disposed on a shooting device, the shooting device being communicatively connected to a handheld gimbal, a first control command being used to control the display interface of the display device to display prompt text, the display interface including an interface of an application for controlling the shooting device; and / or, the display device being disposed on the handle of the handheld gimbal, the first control command being used to control the display interface of the display device to display prompt text, the display interface including an interface for controlling functions related to the handheld gimbal.

[0044] Handheld gimbals can include various models. For example, one model of handheld gimbal includes a display device; another model of handheld gimbal does not include a display device, but the shooting equipment mounted on the handheld gimbal includes a display device.

[0045] Figure 2A An application scenario of a control device and a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2B An application scenario of a control device and a display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0046] Figure 2A and Figure 2B These are two models of handheld gimbals, which will be discussed below. Figure 2A and Figure 2B A detailed description of the handheld gimbal is provided.

[0047] like Figure 2AAs shown, the handheld gimbal includes a control device 201, and a separate shooting device 202 can be mounted on the handheld gimbal. The shooting device 202 includes a display device, such as a screen, whose display interface can show the captured image and prompt text "XXX". The shooting device can be a mobile phone, smartwatch, tablet computer, camera, or other device capable of shooting and equipped with a display device. The communication connection between the shooting device and the handheld gimbal can be a wireless communication connection such as Bluetooth, or other wired communication connection methods.

[0048] The display interface includes the interface of the application that controls the shooting device, such as the shooting interface of the application, which allows the photographer to view the live shooting footage and displayed prompts during the shooting process.

[0049] In one embodiment, the shooting device and the handheld gimbal can communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mode to reduce power consumption and ensure a stable connection, preventing disconnections between the handheld gimbal and the shooting device during shooting. Furthermore, BLE communication ensures that the shooting device can respond promptly to the first control command and control the scrolling of the display device in a timely manner.

[0050] For example, in a speech scenario, the camera and handheld gimbal can communicate via BLE mode. The photographer interacts with the control device on the handheld gimbal to control the speed of the speech. The camera can respond stably and quickly to the first control command, promptly scrolling and displaying prompts to ensure that the prompts are synchronized with the photographer's speaking speed, thereby improving the user experience.

[0051] Accordingly, in this embodiment, the handheld gimbal needs to be paired with the shooting device via Bluetooth. After successful pairing, the shooting device can receive the first control command from the handheld gimbal. In addition, after successful pairing, the shooting device can also receive other control commands from the handheld gimbal.

[0052] In this embodiment, the handheld gimbal can carry an independent shooting device for shooting, and during the shooting process, it can simultaneously shoot, speak, and scroll the prompt text, making it suitable for most scenarios where an independent shooting device is used, and thus has good applicability.

[0053] like Figure 2B As shown, the handheld gimbal includes a control device 203 and a display device 204, which can be located in the same or different positions on the handheld gimbal. For example, both the display device 204 and the control device 203 are located on the handle of the handheld gimbal.

[0054] The display interface of display device 202 or display device 204 can be understood as an interface for controlling the functions of the handheld gimbal and / or visually viewing the functions of the handheld gimbal. For example, the display interface includes multiple touch controls, such as "shoot" and "playback", and users can control the "shoot" and "playback" functions of the handheld gimbal through interaction with the display interface.

[0055] In this embodiment, the handle of the handheld gimbal typically includes a large storage space, capable of accommodating a large display device, resulting in a better user experience. Furthermore, when using a handheld gimbal, the handle is usually close to the photographer, making it convenient for the user to view displayed prompts during shooting, further enhancing the user experience.

[0056] In addition, the display device can also be placed in other locations on the handheld gimbal, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] The control device 201 or 203 can be a mechanical control, a touch control, or a combination of mechanical and touch controls. For example, the control device 201 or 203 can be a joystick, a button, a scroll wheel, a dial, etc.; it can also be a touch screen, a touch control with a touch sensor; or it can be a combination of a scroll wheel, a dial, etc., with a touch sensor.

[0058] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, control device 201 or control device 203 includes a touch control, and the method includes: generating a sliding signal in response to a user's sliding interaction operation on the touch control, the sliding signal corresponding to the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the prompt text display.

[0059] In this embodiment, the touch control can be a stepless control with angular rotation properties. When using such a control, the user does not need to dial to a pre-set fixed position for control, but instead slides the control to a position that the user finds suitable, thus achieving stepless adjustment.

[0060] For example, touch controls can be smart control wheels, scroll wheels, or other controls that are controlled by touch.

[0061] User swiping interactions with touch controls generate swiping signals. These signals, along with the correspondence between scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed, generate the first control command. For touch controls without scrolling limits, a single swiping interaction allows the user to control the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the prompt text.

[0062] In this scenario, users can control the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the prompt text display autonomously, flexibly, and precisely through simple swipe interaction, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0063] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: controlling the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the displayed prompt text based on the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the user's swipe interaction operation.

[0064] The swipe direction corresponds to the scroll direction, and the swipe speed corresponds to the scroll speed. Swipe speed can be understood as the speed at which the swipe interaction is performed; for example, the faster the user swipes the touch control, the faster the prompt text scrolls. Additionally, swipe speed can also be understood as the amplitude of the swipe interaction; the larger the amplitude of the swipe interaction, the more lines of prompt text are scrolled, i.e., the faster the scrolling speed.

[0065] Figure 3 A scene diagram illustrating the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of control prompt text displayed according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the handheld gimbal includes a display device 301 and a touch control 302. The display interface of the display device 301 includes prompt text 3011.

[0066] For example, when a user touches the left side of the touch control 302, they begin a sliding interaction. Maintaining contact and sliding clockwise to the right side, they then release the touch control 302, ending the sliding interaction. This sliding interaction causes the prompt text 3011 to scroll up one line, causing the phrase "When playing basketball, three steps" in the prompt text 3011 to disappear, while the phrase "The trick to a layup is..." on the next line, "The first step of a three-step layup is to step over," scrolls out.

[0067] Alternatively, the user can touch the top of the touch control 302 to start a sliding interaction, keep touching it while sliding counterclockwise to the bottom, and then leave the touch control 302 to end the sliding interaction, while still controlling the prompt text to scroll down one line.

[0068] In this scenario, users can start and end the swipe interaction from any position on the touch control, allowing them to control the scrolling direction and / or speed according to specific scrolling needs, resulting in a good user experience.

[0069] In one specific embodiment, the touch control includes at least one touch area, and the method includes: a swiping interaction operation including a user swiping across at least one touch area, the swiping direction including the order in which the user swipes across at least one touch area, the order corresponding to the scrolling direction of the prompt text display; and / or, the swiping speed corresponding to the scrolling speed, wherein swiping across at least one touch area corresponds to at least one line of scrolling prompt text display.

[0070] The touch control is equipped with a touch sensor for touch detection of various touch areas. In this embodiment, touch detection can determine at least one touch area traversed by the swipe interaction; the order in which the swipe passes through at least one touch area can be determined by detecting the time of touching at least one touch area. Furthermore, the swipe amplitude can be determined based on the number of touch areas traversed, thereby determining the scrolling speed; and / or the swipe speed can be determined based on both the number of touch areas traversed and the time, thereby determining the scrolling speed.

[0071] Each touch area can correspond to a single line of prompt text, or half a line or multiple lines of prompt text; alternatively, multiple touch areas can correspond to a single line / half a line of prompt text, or multiple lines of prompt text. The specific mapping between touch areas and prompt text can be configured according to actual needs to adjust the sensitivity of the touch controls.

[0072] Figure 4 A scene diagram showing the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of control prompt text display according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, the circular touch control 402 is evenly divided into 12 sector-shaped touch areas, such as areas 1 to 12. The touch areas are adjacent to each other, and the order in which the slider passes through at least one touch area indicates the direction of the swipe interaction. For example, swiping from area 1 to area 2 is clockwise, and swiping from area 2 to area 1 is counter-clockwise; swiping from area 2 through areas 3 to 12 and then back to area 1 is also clockwise. The clockwise scrolling direction can be up / down / left / right, and the counter-clockwise scrolling direction is the opposite of clockwise, such as down / up / right / left.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, the prompt text 401 displayed before the swipe interaction operation consists of only one complete line: "Leave, the second step should be a small step." The swipe interaction operation moves from area 1 to area 2 in the touch control 402, and after traversing one area, the prompt text needs to scroll one line. Therefore, the prompt text 403 displayed after the swipe interaction operation consists of only one complete line: "Prepare for the jump, the third step."

[0075] In addition, when the display device shows the prompt text, it can mark the currently displayed part of the prompt text, such as bolding the entire line "Prepare for the jump, step three", so that the photographer can quickly locate it.

[0076] The touch control in this embodiment includes multiple touch areas. The multiple touch areas are used to determine the sliding direction and / or sliding speed in a single sliding interaction operation. Then, the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed are adjusted according to the user's sliding direction and / or sliding speed, so as to achieve precise control and flexible adjustment of the scrolling of the prompt text and avoid reshooting due to inconsistency between scrolling control and shooting progress.

[0077] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: determining whether the handheld gimbal is in selfie mode; when the handheld gimbal is in selfie mode, generating a first control command based on the user's interactive operation on the control device, the first control command being used to control the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the displayed prompt text.

[0078] Specifically, there are several ways to determine whether a handheld gimbal is in selfie mode. For example, it can be determined based on the orientation of the shooting device being filmed; a front-facing camera corresponds to selfie mode, while a rear-facing camera corresponds to other-camera mode. Alternatively, the same camera facing a first direction corresponds to selfie mode, and facing a second direction corresponds to other-camera mode. Another method is to determine this based on the working principle of the handheld gimbal's shooting modes, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0079] In selfie mode, the photographer typically needs to be in the frame. If the photographer holds the prompt text while shooting, it will affect the shooting effect; if the photographer places the prompt text outside the field of view of the shooting device, it will cause the photographer's line of sight to deviate from the lens, affecting the shooting effect. Therefore, considering the needs of selfie mode, the embodiments of this disclosure determine whether the handheld gimbal is in selfie mode, and when shooting in selfie mode, automatically generate a first control command based on the photographer's interaction with the control device to control the scrolling direction and / or scrolling speed of the prompt text display. This eliminates the need for the photographer to manually activate the mode to control the display of the prompt text, simplifying the startup operation and improving the user experience.

[0080] Understandably, in the "other-shooting mode," although the photographer doesn't need to appear in the frame, they can still use the handheld gimbal to carry the shooting equipment and simultaneously view the prompt text on the display device. In this case, the photographer doesn't need to hold the prompt text while shooting with the gimbal, reducing the difficulty of shooting and reading simultaneously and improving the user experience.

[0081] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the handheld gimbal further includes an attitude detection device for detecting the attitude of the handheld gimbal. The method further includes: controlling the display of prompt text in landscape mode when the attitude indicates that the handheld gimbal is in portrait mode; and controlling the display of prompt text in portrait mode when the attitude indicates that the handheld gimbal is in portrait mode.

[0082] A handheld gimbal can control at least one rotation axis to achieve shooting in either horizontal or vertical mode. For example, when shooting with a handheld gimbal, the photographer can control at least one of the yaw, roll, or pitch axes to keep the handheld gimbal in either horizontal or vertical mode.

[0083] In one embodiment, for Figure 2A The handheld gimbal shown can have its attitude detection device determine its attitude based on at least one rotation axis or sensor. For Figure 2B The handheld gimbal shown can determine its posture using sensors.

[0084] After detecting the handheld gimbal's posture using a posture detection device, the display of prompt text in landscape or portrait mode can be adaptively controlled based on the gimbal's posture. This ensures that the photographer can see the prompt text in the correct orientation while shooting, without needing to tilt their head or adjust their posture. In one illustrative embodiment, the landscape / portrait posture of the prompt text can be bound to the handheld gimbal's landscape / portrait shooting mode, so that the display of the prompt text in landscape or portrait mode can be controlled based on the handheld gimbal's posture.

[0085] Current teleprompter software with prompt text functionality does not support switching the prompt text status when shooting with a handheld gimbal-mounted camera.

[0086] In the embodiments of this disclosure, during the shooting process using a handheld gimbal to carry the shooting device, the prompt text supports changes with the posture of the handheld gimbal, so that the user can always see the displayed text in the corresponding direction while shooting, without having to adjust their posture to see the prompt text, resulting in a good user experience.

[0087] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: generating a second control command to control the display of the prompt text in landscape mode when the display device is in landscape mode; and generating a second control command to control the display of the prompt text in portrait mode when the display device is in portrait mode.

[0088] For example, for Figure 2A The handheld gimbal shown has its display in landscape mode, meaning the shooting device / display is horizontal relative to the photographer. Figure 2B The handheld gimbal shown has its display in landscape mode, meaning the display is horizontal relative to the photographer.

[0089] For example, for Figure 2AThe handheld gimbal uses a posture detection device that can be built into the shooting device. Accordingly, the shooting device can directly generate a second control command based on the detection signal from the posture detection device to control the display of the prompt text in landscape or portrait mode. This embodiment can detect the landscape / portrait mode of the display device without adding a new posture detection device, resulting in lower costs.

[0090] For example, for Figure 2A Handheld gimbals can determine whether the display device in the shooting device is in landscape or portrait mode using an attitude detection device mounted on the rotation axis near the shooting device. For example, the attitude detection device can determine landscape / portrait mode using parameters such as acceleration, angular velocity, and device tilt angle, such as through an inertial measurement unit (IMU). In one illustrative embodiment, the IMU can be a device on a preset motor that drives the rotation axis near the shooting device; in this embodiment, the detection signal from the attitude detection device can be transmitted via a communication connection between the handheld gimbal and the shooting device to control the landscape / portrait display of the prompt text.

[0091] Considering that the orientation detection device built into the shooting device is used to determine whether the screen is landscape or portrait, Figure 2A Handheld gimbals may misjudge the actual movement of the shooting device they are carrying. For example, when a user locks the camera to landscape or portrait mode through interaction with the shooting device, the built-in attitude detection device of the shooting device may misjudge the actual movement. In this case, the user needs to unlock the landscape / portrait mode before using the handheld gimbal to shoot, which is cumbersome and provides a poor user experience. The embodiments of this disclosure place an attitude detection device on the handheld gimbal near the shooting device, so that the attitude detection device can directly reflect the actual movement of the camera carried by the handheld gimbal. This allows for accurate judgment of landscape / portrait switching in complex shooting environments, and is not affected by the landscape / portrait mode lock of the shooting device, ensuring that the prompt text is consistent with the direction of the shooting screen.

[0092] for Figure 2B The handheld gimbal shown can detect the landscape or portrait state of the display device through a switch located near the display device. When the display device switches between landscape and portrait modes, it will trigger a Hall sensor or micro switch. The Hall sensor or micro switch will then detect whether the display device is in landscape or portrait mode. The handheld gimbal controller will then control the display of the corresponding prompt text in landscape or portrait mode.

[0093] As shown in Figure 2~ Figure 4 As shown, when the handheld gimbal is in landscape mode and / or the display device is in landscape mode, the prompt text is displayed in landscape mode.

[0094] Figure 5This illustration depicts a scenario where, according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, a handheld gimbal is in portrait mode and / or the display device is in portrait mode, control prompt text is displayed in portrait mode. For example... Figure 5 As shown, in portrait mode and / or portrait screen mode, when the photographer faces the prompt text 501, the prompt text 501 is displayed in the orientation of the portrait mode.

[0095] In one illustrative embodiment, the overall shape and / or size of the prompt text can differ when displayed in landscape and portrait modes. For example, in landscape mode, the spacing between the left and right edges of the display device is larger, while the spacing between the top and bottom edges is smaller. The spacing between the left and right edges of the prompt text can be increased, while the spacing between the top and bottom edges can be decreased. Similarly, in portrait mode, the spacing between the left and right edges of the display device is smaller, while the spacing between the top and bottom edges is larger. This can be done to avoid obstructing the camera view and to prevent impacting the user experience.

[0096] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the display device has a display area, and the method further includes: displaying prompt text in a preview mode in response to an interactive operation on the display area; and / or, displaying a text editing page in response to an interactive operation on the display area, wherein the text editing page is used to edit the prompt text.

[0097] In one embodiment, before shooting begins, users can preview the display of prompt text by interacting with the display area, allowing them to adjust the prompt text in a timely manner and avoid reshooting due to display issues with the prompt text, thus improving the user experience.

[0098] The display area can be an area on a display device that displays information to the user and / or an area that can be touched and interacted with. For example, a user can click on a function control at a preset position in the display area to open the prompter function and display the prompt text in preview mode on the display device, such as by clicking on a function control on the right edge of the display area.

[0099] In another embodiment, before shooting begins, the user can open a text editing page to edit prompt text by interacting with the display area. This can be done by double-clicking or interacting with a function control at a preset location in the display area; or by clicking a text editing icon in the display area.

[0100] In another embodiment, after the prompt text is displayed in preview mode in the display area of ​​the display device, the user can interact with the prompt text or the editing controls in the area near the prompt text to open a text editing page.

[0101] Within the text editing page, users can input, modify, and delete prompt text using various methods such as voice, typing, and handwriting.

[0102] The embodiments of this disclosure support users in editing prompt text through a text editing page, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0103] To facilitate understanding of the prompt text editing function of this disclosure, Figure 6A An interactive diagram of displaying prompt text and a text editing page according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0104] like Figure 6A As shown, before an interactive operation occurs, the display area 601 may include multiple functional controls, such as functional controls 6011 to 6013. Functional control 6011 is used to activate the portrait function of the handheld gimbal, functional control 6012 is used to activate the fill light function, and functional control 6013 is used to activate the prompt function, displaying the prompt text in preview mode. Within this display area 601, images captured in real-time by the camera device can also be displayed, such as a person playing basketball.

[0105] A text container 603 is added to the display area 602 after the user clicks the function control 6013. The text container 603 includes a prompt text 6021 and an editing control 6022, such as "Please edit XX". After the user clicks the editing control 6022, a text editing page 604 is displayed.

[0106] The text editing page 604 may include a pre-set set of exemplary text, such as "When playing basketball, the trick to a three-step layup is: the first step of the three-step layup should be a large step to create distance from the defender, the second step should be a small step to prepare for the jump, and when jumping on the third step, make sure to jump high and far..." Alternatively, the text editing page 604 may also be a blank page so that users can edit the prompt text through the text editing page.

[0107] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method includes: when the handheld gimbal is in landscape shooting mode, in response to an interactive operation on the display area, controlling the display device to switch from landscape to portrait mode and displaying a text editing page in portrait mode; and / or when the handheld gimbal is in portrait shooting mode, in response to an interactive operation on the display area, controlling the display device to switch from portrait to landscape mode and displaying a text editing page in landscape mode.

[0108] Users typically perform editing operations on the text editing page, and different users may have different editing habits.

[0109] In this embodiment, in response to interactive operations on the display area, i.e., interactive operations to open a text editing page, for users accustomed to editing text in portrait mode, when the handheld gimbal is in landscape mode, after the user performs the interactive operation to open the text editing page, the display device is controlled to switch from landscape to portrait mode and display the text editing page in portrait mode. When the handheld gimbal is in portrait mode, after the user performs the interactive operation to open the text editing page, the text editing page can be directly displayed in portrait mode without changing the orientation of the display device. For example, for users accustomed to editing text in landscape mode, when the handheld gimbal is in landscape mode, the text editing page can be directly controlled to be displayed in landscape mode without changing the orientation of the display device. When the handheld gimbal is in portrait mode, after the user performs the interactive operation to open the text editing page, the display device is controlled to switch from portrait to landscape mode and display the text editing page in landscape mode.

[0110] by Figure 2A Taking the handheld gimbal shown as an example, the handheld gimbal and the shooting device can transmit control commands via a communication connection to control the display device to switch from landscape to portrait mode and display the text editing page in portrait mode. For example, after the user interacts with the display area, the shooting device controls the display area to display prompts in landscape or portrait mode based on the control commands; in addition, the shooting device also transmits the control commands to the handheld gimbal so that the handheld gimbal can control the rotation axis connected to the shooting device to achieve the landscape / portrait switching of the display device. Figure 2B Taking the handheld gimbal shown as an example, after the user interacts with the display area, the handheld gimbal can directly control the display device on the handheld gimbal to switch between landscape and portrait modes based on the interaction, and at the same time control the landscape / portrait display of the prompt text.

[0111] In both horizontal and / or vertical shooting modes, the embodiments of this disclosure can control the display device to switch between horizontal and vertical screens and control the horizontal and vertical display of the prompt text, thereby displaying the text editing page in a direction that conforms to the user's habits, making it convenient for the user to edit and providing a better user experience.

[0112] Figure 6B An interactive diagram is shown illustrating a control display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, which performs landscape / portrait screen switching and displays a text editing page. Figure 6B Chinese figure labels and Figure 6A The same applies, so I won't repeat it here.

[0113] like Figure 6BAs shown, when the handheld gimbal is in landscape shooting mode, the display area shows the shooting screen and function controls 6013 in landscape mode. After the user clicks function control 6013, a prompt text 6021 is displayed in preview mode on the display device, and this prompt text 6021 is displayed in landscape mode. For users who are accustomed to editing text in portrait mode, clicking the editing control 6022 controls the display device to switch from landscape to portrait mode. Similarly, the text editing page 604 is also in portrait mode.

[0114] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: enlarging or reducing the font size of the prompt text in response to a font size change operation of the prompt text within the display area.

[0115] The display area can also include a font size control, which users can click to change the font size. Alternatively, users can perform specific actions on the display area to change the font size, such as gestures, double-tap, or three-finger swipe.

[0116] Figure 6C A scene diagram of a display area according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. For example... Figure 6C As shown, the display area also includes a font size control 6024. When the user clicks the font size control 6024, the font size of the prompt text will be enlarged or reduced.

[0117] In one embodiment, after clicking the font size change control 6024, multiple selectable font sizes can be displayed. The user can select the corresponding font size to enlarge or shrink the font size of the prompt text to the currently selected font size. Alternatively, after clicking the font size change control 6024, a font size enlargement control or a font size reduction control can also be displayed. By clicking the font size enlargement control or the font size reduction control, the font size of the prompt text can be enlarged or reduced to the corresponding font size.

[0118] In another embodiment, after clicking the font size change control 6024, a stepless adjustment axis can be displayed. The user can drag the adjustment pointer on the stepless adjustment axis to the corresponding position to enlarge or shrink the font size of the prompt text to the size corresponding to that position. By changing the font size through this stepless adjustment axis, the user can flexibly and accurately enlarge or shrink the font size, resulting in a good user experience.

[0119] The embodiments of this disclosure support zooming in or out of the font size of the prompt text in scenarios where a handheld gimbal is used for simultaneous recording and reading, meeting the needs of users with different font size reading habits and providing a good user experience.

[0120] also, Figure 6CIt also includes a container adjustment control 6025 for adjusting the size of the text container 603. For example, when a user presses and holds the adjustment text container 603 and moves it to a certain position A, the edge of the adjustment area of ​​the text container 603 can be moved from the current position to position A, thereby enlarging or shrinking the text container 603.

[0121] When the size of the text container 603 is adjusted, the tooltip text in the preview mode also changes accordingly. For example, when the text container 603 is widened, the tooltip text also widens accordingly, and the number of lines in the tooltip text also changes accordingly, such as reducing the number of lines.

[0122] In one embodiment, the text container 603 is positioned below the hierarchy of multiple controls in the display area to ensure that the user can interact with the controls and perform various functions. For example, in response to an interaction with the display area, while displaying a prompt text in preview mode on the display device, a prompt pop-up, such as a toast pop-up, can also be displayed to remind the user. This prompt pop-up is positioned above the hierarchy of the adjustable text container 603.

[0123] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method includes: displaying a history text page in response to an interactive operation on a display area, wherein the history text page includes at least one historical prompt text; and / or displaying a text editing page in response to a click operation on the historical prompt text; and / or displaying the historical prompt text in a preview mode on a display device in response to a reuse operation on the historical prompt text.

[0124] In this embodiment, the history text page includes at least one historical prompt text. The historical prompt text is the prompt text used within a preset time period prior to this recording. The preset time period can be 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, etc. For example, historical prompt texts within different preset time periods can be stored in stages to accommodate both storage and user needs.

[0125] Figure 7 An interactive diagram is shown illustrating the display of a history text page and the operation of the history text page according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0126] For example, consider the link between display area 701, historical text page 702, and text editing page 703. When display area 701 displays the prompt text in preview mode, clicking the edit control 7011 displays the historical text page 702. The historical text page 702 includes an add control 7021 and multiple historical prompt texts, such as yesterday's prompt text 7022 and the prompt texts from the past 7 days 7023. Clicking the add control 7021 will redirect the user to the text editing page 703, and / or, clicking yesterday's prompt text 7022 or the prompt texts from the past 7 days 7023 will redirect the user to the text editing page, where the text editing page retains yesterday's or the prompt texts from the past 7 days.

[0127] Taking the link between display area 701, historical text page 702, and display area 704 after reusing the prompt text as an example. The user clicks the edit control 7011 to display historical text page 702. Then, the user clicks the reuse control 7024 in historical text page 702 to perform a reuse operation, such as clicking the "Go to Take a Picture" control of yesterday's prompt text. After clicking the "Go to Take a Picture" control of yesterday's prompt text 7022, the display area 704 after reusing the prompt text displays yesterday's prompt text in preview mode.

[0128] In one embodiment, a user can preview yesterday's prompt text by connecting the display area 701, the history text page 702, and the display area 704 after reusing the prompt text. Later, when it is necessary to replace the historical prompt text, the user can click the "Please edit XX" control 7041 in the display area 704 after reusing the prompt text to re-enter the history text page 702. By clicking or reusing the historical prompt text, the user can enter the text editing page or reuse other historical prompt texts.

[0129] In addition, users can also delete historical prompt text in the history text page to remove the corresponding prompt text. For example, if a user swipes left on yesterday's prompt text 702, the first delete button will be displayed; after displaying the first delete button, a confirmation button will appear, and clicking the confirmation button again will delete yesterday's prompt text 7022.

[0130] The embodiments of this disclosure can store the prompt texts that the user has previously operated on through the history text page, so that the user can view the historical prompt texts, and quickly reuse the historical prompt texts or edit new prompt texts, simplifying the editing operation and providing a good user experience.
