Other features of this disclosure will become readily apparent from the following description. Attached Figure Description

[0009] In the following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the above and other features, advantages, and aspects of the various implementations of this disclosure will become more apparent.

Detailed Implementation

[0010] It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in this disclosure in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and user authorization should be obtained.

[0011] For example, upon receiving a user's active request, a prompt message is sent to the user to explicitly inform them that the requested operation will require the acquisition and use of the user's personal information. This allows the user to independently choose whether to provide personal information to the software or hardware, such as the electronic device, application, server, or storage medium performing the operations of this disclosed technical solution, based on the prompt message.

[0012] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to a user's active request, sending a prompt message to the user can be done via a pop-up window, where the prompt message can be presented in text format. Furthermore, the pop-up window can also include a selection control allowing the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0013] It is understood that the above notification and user authorization process are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of this disclosure. Other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of this disclosure.

[0014] It is understood that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and related provisions.

[0015] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0016] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0017] For ease of description, several concepts and terms are defined here first.

[0018] Invisible watermarking (also known as digital watermarking) is a technology that embeds specific information into digital media (e.g., images, audio, etc.) through algorithms without affecting the sensory quality of the media (e.g., invisible to the human eye). It is typically used for copyright protection or information tracing.

[0019] Routing (Router / DeepLink) is a mechanism in mobile application development that uses a specific URL or protocol string to locate and redirect to a specific native page or functional module within the application.

[0020] The frequency domain refers to the distribution of frequencies in image processing by transforming image signals through mathematical transformations (e.g., Fourier transform). Modifying values ​​in the frequency domain is more subtle and resistant to image compression than modifying them in the spatial domain (e.g., pixels).

[0021] Observer / Listener is a programming pattern in which a program continuously monitors changes in a system event or state, and executes pre-defined logic as soon as a change occurs.

[0022] As briefly described above, in the current mobile application ecosystem, users share content from in-app pages primarily in the following ways: Link sharing means that when a user clicks the share button, an H5 link or mini-program card is generated and sent to a friend; QR code or poster generation: When a user clicks the share or generate poster button within the app, the app draws an image in the background containing the current page information and a visual QR code. The user saves and publishes the image. A regular system screenshot is when a user directly uses a physical button or gesture on their phone to trigger a system screenshot, saving the current screen as a regular image, which is then posted to a community or chat application.

[0023] However, the above methods have significant shortcomings in screenshot sharing and retrieval scenarios: sharing links or posters involves cumbersome steps, requiring users to find and click the share button within the app, disrupting the user's browsing experience and failing to meet the user's need for quick screenshot sharing; traditional QR codes must occupy a certain area of ​​the image and be visible to the naked eye, obscuring the original page content and compromising the integrity and aesthetics of the screenshot. Furthermore, after images are compressed or cropped by social media platforms, the pixel-based recognition rate further decreases, leading to data loss.

[0024] In view of this, an embodiment of this disclosure provides a method for image publishing. In response to detecting a selection operation for a first image in a target application, a first digital watermark contained in the first image is obtained. The first digital watermark at least indicates first identification information and a first access path of a first interface associated with the first image. In response to receiving an application request associated with the first image, the first image and an access point for the first interface are provided. The access point is determined based on the first identification information and the first access path. In this way, visually imperceptible information carrying is achieved, simplifying the user's operation path and enabling precise retrieval to the original page.

[0025] Figure 1A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. In this example environment 100, server 130 is capable of establishing a communication connection with one or more electronic devices (collectively or individually referred to as electronic device 110). At least one application 120 may be installed on electronic device 110. Users can interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or attached devices of electronic device 110. Application 120 may be a content presentation application, an online shopping application, or any other suitable application.

[0026] exist Figure 1 In environment 100, if application 120 is active, electronic device 110 can display the interface of application 120. The interface can include various interfaces that application 120 can provide, such as content presentation interface, content creation interface, service request submission interface, request processing result interface, message interface, personal homepage, etc.

[0027] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry). Server 130 can be various types of computing systems / servers capable of providing computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, etc.

[0028] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0029] Figure 2 A flowchart of a process 200 for digital watermark embedding according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Process 200 can be implemented in environment 100, for example, process 200 can be implemented at electronic device 110. In the following discussion, reference will be made to... Figure 1 To describe process 200.

[0030] In box 210, the electronic device 110 listens for screenshot operations (also referred to as "screenshot events") within its system. In some embodiments, an application 120 running on the electronic device 110 can listen for screenshot operations generated by the system. For example, when the application 120 is running in the foreground, it can listen for screenshot operations generated by the system by registering a system-level screenshot notification observer. As an example, when the electronic device 110 is a device running iOS, the application 120 can listen for screenshot operations by listening to the UIApplicationUserDidTakeScreenshotNotification system notification. As another example, when the electronic device 110 is a device running Android, the application 120 can listen for screenshot operations by listening to changes in the MediaStore on the electronic device 110 using ContentObserver, or by listening to changes in the screenshot folder on the electronic device 110 using FileObserver. In this way, the application 120 can automatically detect screenshot operations when a user triggers a screenshot operation.

[0031] Upon detecting a screenshot operation, in box 220, the electronic device 110 determines whether the application 120 is running in the foreground. Simultaneously, in box 230, the electronic device 110 acquires the identification information of the image obtained from the screenshot operation. If the application 120 is not running in the foreground, process 200 ends. If the application 120 is running in the foreground, process 200 continues with subsequent steps. This ensures that digital watermark embedding is only performed when the user is using the application 120, avoiding interference with screenshot operations in other scenarios.

[0032] When application 120 is running in the foreground, in box 240, electronic device 110 obtains the access path of the current interface (the interface targeted by the screenshot operation) in application 120. This access path can be a routing path (Router / DeepLink) within application 120, through which a specific interface (e.g., the current interface) or functional module (e.g., a functional module within the current interface) within application 120 can be located and navigated. In this way, the access path of the interface can be associated with the screenshot, enabling direct access to the corresponding interface through this path in the future.

[0033] In block 250, electronic device 110 generates a digital watermark based on the access path and identification information and embeds it into the image obtained by the screenshot operation. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may perform at least one operation related to serialization on the identification information and access path to obtain sequence data; and perform at least one operation related to frequency domain transformation on the image obtained by the screenshot operation to obtain frequency domain data corresponding to the image. Then, the sequence data is fused into the frequency domain data corresponding to the image, and at least one operation related to frequency domain transformation is performed on the fused frequency domain data to obtain the digital watermark.

[0034] For example, when application 120 detects a screenshot operation, it can obtain the context information of the current top-level view controller (Activity / ViewController) to construct a structured data object containing a unique identifier of the current interface in application 120. This structured data object may include a page ID (pageId), parameters (params), and a timestamp. In this way, complete information about the interface the user was on when taking the screenshot can be accurately captured, providing an accurate data foundation for subsequent interface backtracking.

[0035] As an example, a structured data object can be represented as follows:

[0036] The parameter “pageId” represents the identifier of the interface, the parameter “params” represents the access path of the interface, and the parameter “timestamp” represents the timestamp.

[0037] Electronic device 110 can perform at least one operation related to serialization on the aforementioned structured object to obtain sequence data. Further, electronic device 110 can employ a transform domain algorithm (e.g., DCT discrete cosine transform, DWT discrete wavelet transform, etc.) to transform the bitmap data of the image obtained from the screenshot operation from the spatial domain to the frequency domain. Further, the sequence data of the structured object is superimposed onto the low-to-mid-frequency coefficients of the image, and at least one operation related to frequency domain transformation is performed on the frequency domain data of the superimposed image to transform the bitmap data from the frequency domain to the spatial domain, thereby embedding a digital watermark in the image. Thus, the generated image is visually indistinguishable from the original screenshot, but carries complete page routing information. In this way, compared to directly modifying the pixel RGB values ​​of the image (e.g., LSB algorithm), embedding a digital watermark in the frequency domain ensures the watermark's seamlessness and robustness (resistance to compression). Simultaneously, the digital watermark is hidden within the image's frequency domain features, making the difference imperceptible to the human eye, achieving visually imperceptible information carrying.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can perform at least one encryption-related operation on the sequence data of a structured object, such as encrypting it using AES or a custom algorithm to generate encrypted sequence data (e.g., a binary stream). In this way, the security of the digital watermark data can be protected against tampering or forgery.

[0039] In box 260, the electronic device 110 writes the image with the embedded digital watermark to the system album. For example, application 120 can obtain read and write permissions to the system album and write the image with the digital watermark to the system album. In some embodiments, to avoid two duplicate images (the original image and the image with the embedded digital watermark) in the system album, the image obtained by taking a screenshot can be deleted or overwritten after the new image is written. In this way, only one screenshot with the digital watermark is retained in the system album, maintaining the cleanliness of the system album.

[0040] Figure 3 A flowchart of a process 300 for digital watermark identification according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Process 300 can be implemented in environment 100, for example, process 300 can be implemented at electronic device 110. In the following discussion, reference will be made to... Figure 1 To describe process 300.

[0041] In box 310, the user selects an image from the system photo album via electronic device 110 within application 120. In some embodiments, when the user selects to import an image from the system photo album through the community, chat, or scanning entry within application 120, application 120 reads the image file. In this way, the user can easily select previously captured images with digital watermarks for posting or sharing.

[0042] In frame 320, in response to detecting a selection operation on an image in the system's photo album, the electronic device 110 determines whether the selected image contains a digital watermark. For example, the electronic device 110 can perform the reverse operation corresponding to the process of embedding a digital watermark on the selected image to extract the digital watermark from the image. In this way, it can automatically identify whether the image carries the routing information of the interface without requiring additional user intervention.

[0043] In box 330, if the selected image contains a digital watermark, the digital watermark is extracted. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 performs at least one operation related to frequency domain transformation on the image to obtain frequency domain data corresponding to the image. For example, a frequency domain transformation (e.g., DCT) can be performed on the image data. In this way, the image can be converted from the spatial domain to the frequency domain to extract the digital watermark hidden in the frequency domain features. The electronic device 110 then determines sequence data from the frequency domain data corresponding to the image, which indicates the digital watermark. For example, hidden bitstream data can be extracted according to an agreed-upon key and rules. In this way, blind watermark extraction can be achieved, i.e., watermark information can be extracted without the original image.

[0044] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 performs at least one operation related to deserialization on the sequence data to obtain a digital watermark. For example, the extracted bitstream can be decrypted and deserialized into the aforementioned structured object. In this way, complete interface identification information and access paths can be recovered.

[0045] In box 340, if the selected image does not have a digital watermark, the electronic device 110, in response to receiving an application request associated with that image, directly provides the first image. In this way, the application 120 can still process ordinary images normally without affecting the user's normal user experience.

[0046] In box 350, electronic device 110 extracts the access path from the digital watermark. For example, it can read the parameters "pageId" and "params" from the structured object. In this way, complete routing information of the page where the user took the screenshot can be obtained.

[0047] In frame 360, electronic device 110, in response to receiving an application request associated with the image, provides the image and an access point for the interface corresponding to the image. For example, it can call the routing component (Router) within application 120, pass in parameters, and directly launch the corresponding native page or H5 page. In some embodiments, the access point is determined based on identification information and access path. In some embodiments, the access point can be independent of the image, or the image itself can serve as the access point. In this way, a closed loop of "screenshot generates access point, image viewing directly leads to the scene" is achieved, without relying on a server's large image index library, relying entirely on the information carried by the image itself to achieve accurate interface backtracking.

[0048] Figure 4 A flowchart of a process 400 for image publishing according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Process 400 can be implemented in environment 100, for example, process 400 can be implemented at terminal device 110.

[0049] In box 410, in response to detecting a selection operation for a first image in a target application, electronic device 110 acquires a first digital watermark contained in the first image, the first digital watermark indicating at least first identification information of a first interface associated with the first image and a first access path.

[0050] In box 420, in response to receiving an application request associated with the first image, the electronic device 110 provides the first image and an access point for the first interface, the access point being determined based on the first identification information and the first access path.

[0051] In some embodiments, the access point is independent of the first image, or the first image itself serves as the access point.

[0053] In some embodiments, process 400 further includes: in response to detecting a screenshot operation on the second interface, obtaining second identification information and a second access path of the second interface; embedding a second digital watermark in the second image obtained by the screenshot operation, the second digital watermark being determined based on the second identification information and the second access path; and storing the embedded second image in a target application.

[0054] In some embodiments, embedding a second digital watermark includes: performing at least one operation related to serialization on second identification information and a second access path to obtain second sequence data; performing at least one operation related to frequency domain transformation on a second image obtained by a screenshot operation to obtain frequency domain data corresponding to the second image; fusing the second sequence data into the frequency domain data corresponding to the second image; and performing at least one operation related to frequency domain transformation on the fused frequency domain data to obtain a second image embedded with the second digital watermark.

[0055] In some embodiments, process 400 further includes performing at least one operation related to encryption on the second sequence data.

[0056] In some embodiments, process 400 further includes deleting a second image obtained through a screenshot operation.

[0057] In some embodiments, process 400 further includes: providing the first image in response to receiving an application request associated with the first image and not obtaining the first digital watermark.
