AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, when third-party applications access a user's photo album, there is a risk of user privacy leakage and a poor user experience, especially during interface jumps and permission authorization processes, which can easily lead to a fragmented experience and cumbersome operations.

Method used

By working collaboratively between the application process and the system process, the application process provides a customizable image selection interface, while the system process acts as a proxy to display thumbnails of album resources. Anonymized data processing is used to ensure user privacy protection while achieving interface consistency and real-time feedback for user operations.

Benefits of technology

Without compromising user privacy, a complete and customizable image selection interface is provided, which enhances the user experience, ensures that third-party applications can promptly detect and respond to user actions, and reduces the jarring feeling of interface transitions.

Abstract

A method and related apparatus for accessing a photo album are disclosed. In this method, an electronic device can simultaneously invoke an application process and a system process. The application process can be used to display the relevant interface of a third-party application. When a user wishes to share pictures on the third-party application, the application process can display an image selection interface, and the thumbnails in the image selection interface can be displayed by the system process. In this way, the electronic device can display thumbnails for the user to choose from in the image selection interface provided by the application process without authorizing the application process to access the photo album. This protects the user's photo album privacy while avoiding the disjointed feeling caused by switching between different interfaces, thus improving the user experience.
