Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] Hereinafter, the aspects of the present disclosure will be further described so that the above objects, features, and advantages of the present disclosure can be more clearly understood. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict.

[0024] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure may be practiced in other ways different from those described herein. Obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments.

[0025] In response to receiving a template selection command from a user, obtain a target template (including a plurality of image sub-templates) corresponding to the template selection command, then receive at least one original image uploaded by the user for the target template, further determine the original image corresponding to the image sub-template, and obtain a plurality of target images based on the image sub-template and the original image corresponding to the image sub-template. Also, when previewing a plurality of target images, display the preview effect of the plurality of target images corresponding to the target template on an image preview interface. The image preview interface includes an image editing control for adjusting the plurality of target images. In the above form, a plurality of target images can be directly obtained from the target template including a plurality of image sub-templates and the original image uploaded by the user, and when the user previews the images, the user can also use the image editing control to adjust the target images, which is very convenient, can effectively shorten the time taken for multi-image editing, and can improve the multi-image editing efficiency. FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a multimedia processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This method may be executed by a multimedia processing device, and this device may be implemented using software and / or hardware, and generally may be integrated into an electronic device. In actual applications, the image processing method can be applied to a client having an image editing function, a mini-program, a web page, etc., but is not limited herein. As shown in FIG. 1, the method mainly includes the following steps S102 to S108.

[0026] Step S102: In response to receiving a template selection command from a user, obtain a target template corresponding to the template selection command, including a plurality of image sub-templates.

[0027] In related technologies as well, image templates are provided, but most of them are individual image templates and can only generate one edited image. On the other hand, the target template according to the embodiments of the present disclosure includes a plurality of image sub-templates and has the ability to generate a plurality of edited images at once. Each image sub-template (also referred to as an image editing sub-template) can be used for editing at least one image. For example, the image sub-template contains editing record information, and this editing record information may indicate how to edit the image. As an example, it indicates how to synthesize a predetermined material with the image and / or how to combine a plurality of images to obtain an edited image. The materials used for editing the image in the image sub-template may be, for example, text, stickers, filters, special effects, etc., but are not limited here.

[0028] In actual applications, one or more series of templates may be displayed on the template display interface. Each series of templates includes a plurality of image sub-templates, and the user may select a desired series of templates from the template display interface. When a template selection command by the user is received, the template selected by the user is set as the target template.

[0029] In some exemplary embodiments, the similarity between different image sub-templates among the target templates is greater than a preset similarity threshold. Here, the similarity is determined by one or more of the materials, editing methods, and template themes used for each of the different image sub-templates. That is, any of the materials, editing methods, and template themes used for the image sub-templates are factors that affect the evaluation of the similarity between different image sub-templates. When there are multiple influencing factors, the similarity evaluation results for each influencing factor may be weighted to obtain an overall similarity evaluation result. As can be understood, usually, there are certain similar features among different image sub-templates belonging to the same template. For example, the same text content, the same filter, etc. are used in different sub-templates. For example, stickers are placed in the upper right corner of the image, or different layer layouts are similar, etc., and the editing methods of different sub-templates are similar. For example, the template themes of different sub-templates are the same. As an example, the template theme for any of the different sub-templates is something like "Celebrate holidays" or "Recall old times".

[0030] There is similarity between different image sub-templates among the target templates, so that in a plurality of images edited by the target templates, the overall effect is unified, and thereby a systematic style effect is provided to the user. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the user attempts to obtain a plurality of edited images at once, usually, considering fully that these images have commonalities such as the same theme of the images and the same feeling presented to the user, a template integrating sub-templates with a predetermined similarity is provided to the user, thereby greatly shortening the time for the user to search for templates with similarity, enabling the user to edit images at once using the templates, and obtaining a plurality of edited images with a predetermined commonality.

[0031] Step S104: Receive at least one original image uploaded by the user for the target template.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of original images is not limited and may be one or more. In some exemplary embodiments, the user may upload all the original images that need to be edited for the target template. For example, the target template may recommend to the user to upload N original images so that the user uploads the original images in a batch for the first time. Also, for example, the target template may not limit the number of images, and the user may upload the original images as needed. Later, the target template may be adjusted according to the number of sub-templates that may be included in itself, the number of images that can be edited by the sub-templates, or the number of original images. In some other exemplary embodiments, the user may upload the corresponding original image for each of the image sub-templates in the target template. For example, based on the sample image of each image sub-template, the corresponding original image may be uploaded, but this is not limited herein.

[0033] Step S106: Determine the original image corresponding to the image sub-template, and obtain a plurality of target images based on the image sub-template and the original image corresponding to the image sub-template.

[0034] As can be understood, although there are multiple image sub-templates, since the original images uploaded by the user can be one or more, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when receiving the original image from the user, the original image corresponding to the image sub-template is determined. For example, the original image corresponding to each image sub-template is assigned. For the image sub-template to which the original image is assigned, the corresponding original image is edited, and for the image sub-template to which the original image is not assigned (for example, when there are few original images), it may be discarded, or the original image previously assigned may be copied. All of the above are merely exemplary descriptions and are not intended to be limiting here. For each image sub-template to which the original image is assigned, the original image corresponding to this image sub-template is edited by this image sub-template to obtain the target image corresponding to this image sub-template.

[0035] In actual applications, the original images corresponding to different image sub-templates may be the same or different. For example, if the user uploads only one original image for the target template, all image sub-templates will perform editing on this original image. Also, for example, if the user uploads multiple original images at once, but the number of multiple original images is less than the number of image sub-templates, the original image corresponding to each image sub-template may be determined according to a preset strategy, and the original images corresponding to different image sub-templates may be the same or different. Also, for example, when the user uploads the corresponding original image for each image sub-template, each image sub-template may perform editing on the corresponding original image. In actual applications, one image sub-template may correspond to one or more original images, or one original image may correspond to one or more image sub-templates. All of the above are merely exemplary descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.

[0036] Step S108: When previewing a plurality of target images, display the preview effect of the plurality of target images corresponding to the target template on an image preview interface including editing controls for adjusting the plurality of target images.

[0037] In actual application, when a predetermined preview trigger condition is satisfied, a plurality of target images may be previewed. The preview trigger condition may be receiving a preview command by the user. That is, when receiving the preview command, it is determined to preview a plurality of target images. The preview trigger condition may also be detecting the completion of editing of the original image by the image sub-template. That is, by default, when obtaining the target image, it is directly previewed. To enable the user to easily check, the preview effect of the plurality of target images may be displayed on the image preview interface. Also, the image editing controls included in the image preview interface enable the user to adjust the target images according to their own needs. Note that the image editing controls may include, for example, controls for editing the content of the target image, or may include, for example, controls for adjusting the order of the plurality of target images, or controls for deleting the target image, etc. Further, the image editing controls may be controls displayed on the interface or controls that are not displayed on the interface, but the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the functions, display forms, and numbers of the image editing controls.

[0038] In the above form, a plurality of target images can be directly obtained from the target template including a plurality of image sub-templates and the original image uploaded by the user. And when the user previews the images, the user can also use the image editing controls to adjust the target images. The convenience is very high, the time taken for multi-image editing can be effectively shortened, and the multi-image editing efficiency can be improved.

[0039] In actual applications, on the template display page, in order for the user to clearly and visually understand the editing effect of the template of the candidate series, an effect diagram which is an image obtained by editing a sample image using the template of the candidate series corresponding to at least one template of the candidate series may be displayed. The effect diagram of the template of the candidate series includes the effect diagrams corresponding to each image sub-template. Then, based on the effect diagram corresponding to the template of the candidate series, the user selects a target template from at least one template of the candidate series. When it is detected that the user triggers a template of a certain candidate series, for example, triggers a use button corresponding to a template of a certain candidate series, it is assumed that a template selection command delivered by the user is received. As an example, in the interface schematic diagram shown in FIG. 2, the template display interface is specifically shown. For ease of understanding, FIG. 2 schematically shows four templates of candidate series. Note that on the template display interface, the effect diagrams of the templates of each candidate series are shown. Use buttons corresponding to the templates of each candidate series are arranged. When the user triggers this use button, it is regarded that a template selection command by the user is received, and the series template selected by the user from the templates of the candidate series on the template display page (that is, the series template corresponding to the use button triggered by the user) is the target template.

[0040] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a template preview interface may be provided to the user. For example, when a target template is selected by the user through a template display interface, the interface switches to the template preview interface, and as shown in FIG. 3, the target template may be further displayed on the template preview interface. As an example, on the template preview interface, an effect diagram of each sub-template in the target template may be displayed. In some specific embodiments, on the template preview interface, the effect diagrams of each image sub-template in the target template are displayed in the form of a carousel, and at a predetermined position, effect thumbnails of all sub-templates are displayed. Furthermore, while the effect diagram is being displayed on the template preview interface, music matching the target template may be played. Additionally, relevant information of the target template may be displayed on the template preview interface, and the relevant information may be, for example, template creator information, template style theme, etc., but is not limited herein. Through the template preview interface, the user can more accurately understand the content of the target template, which is advantageous for the user to determine whether to continue with image editing using the target template. The template preview interface also includes a usage control, a bookmark control, a comment control, etc. When the user triggers the usage control of the template preview interface, it enters the subsequent original image upload operation. When the user triggers the bookmark control, the target template is added to the user's favorites to facilitate subsequent calls by the user. When the user triggers the comment control, comments of other users on the target template can be viewed, and the user himself / herself may also issue comments, thus promoting the understanding of the template and communication between users. It should be noted that FIG. 3 is merely an illustrative explanation and should not be construed as limiting.

[0041] In some embodiments, when the user determines to use the target template, an image upload interface may be provided to the user. As shown in FIG. 4, the user may import a plurality of original images that need to be edited. The plurality of original images imported into the template may be from the user's portfolio or photo album. Also, any of the image sub-templates in the target template supports editing for one or more original images. Note that any of the image sub-templates supports editing for one or more original images, but one sub-template can generate only one target image. As shown in FIG. 4, Sub-template 1 has two image pits (Image A and Image B), that is, it can support editing for two original images, and the two edited original images may be combined in Sub-template 1 into one target image.

[0042] When the user uploads an original image for the target template, and the target template includes a plurality of image sub-templates, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide two ways to determine the original image corresponding to the image sub-template.

[0043] Method 1: Execute with reference to the following steps A to B.

[0044] Step A: According to the order of the image sub-templates in the target template and the number of images that can be edited by the image sub-templates, assign the original images to the image sub-templates according to a preset order.

[0045] Understandably, the images that can be edited by the image sub - templates can be one or more. This preset order can be the order of the images selected by the user from a portfolio or photo album or the order of the uploaded images. The original images may be assigned to the image sub - templates one by one according to the preset order. For ease of understanding, it is exemplified as follows. The target template includes sub - template 1, sub - template 2, and sub - template 3. The number of images that can be edited by sub - template 1 is 2, the number of images that can be edited by sub - template 2 is 1, and the number of images that can be edited by sub - template 3 is 3. Also, assuming that 6 original images (image 1 to image 6 in order) are uploaded by the user, image 1 and image 2 are respectively assigned to sub - template 1. If sub - template 1 includes two image pits, image 1 and image 2 are assigned to these two image pits according to a predetermined order (for example, from top to bottom or from left to right), image 3 is assigned to sub - template 2, and image 4 to image 6 are assigned to sub - template 3.

[0046] Step B: Determine the original images corresponding to the image sub - templates based on the assignment results.

[0047] In actual applications, the embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce the requirements for the number of images uploaded by the user. Instead of requiring the number of original images uploaded by the user to be equal to the number of images that can be edited by the image sub - templates, a solution is provided where the number of original images uploaded by the user is smaller than the number of images that can be edited by the image sub - templates. For ease of understanding, it may be implemented with reference to the following three cases B1 - B3.

[0048] B1: For an image sub-template where the number of original images assigned is equal to the number of images that can be edited, use the original images assigned to the image sub-template as the original images corresponding to the image sub-template. For example, Image 1 and Image 2 assigned to Sub-template 1 are the original images corresponding to the sub-template.

[0049] B2: For an image sub-template where the number of original images assigned is less than the number of images that can be edited, obtain a complementary image for the image sub-template, and use the original images and the complementary image assigned to the image sub-template as the original images corresponding to the image sub-template. The complementary image is obtained by copying one or more of the original images in a preset manner.

[0050] As an example, assume that the target template includes Sub-template 1, Sub-template 2, and Sub-template 3. The number of images that can be edited by Sub-template 1 is 2, the number of images that can be edited by Sub-template 2 is 1, and the number of images that can be edited by Sub-template 3 is 3. Also, assume that only 5 original images (Image 1 to Image 5) are uploaded by the user. According to the above method, if only 2 original images are assigned to Sub-template 3, a complementary image for Sub-template 3 can be obtained. This complementary image may be obtained by copying one of the 2 original images assigned to Sub-template 3, or it may be obtained by copying one of the original images from Image 1 to Image 5. In actual application, an original image randomly selected may be copied, or an original image may be selected and copied according to a preset strategy (such as material similarity, style similarity, etc.), or the image to be copied may be specified by the user, but it is not limited here. In the above method, all the image pits of Sub-template 3 may be filled.

[0051] B3: For an image sub-template to which the original image is not assigned, if it is determined that there is no original image corresponding to the image sub-template, the image sub-template is discarded.

[0052] As an example, assume that the target template includes sub-template 1, sub-template 2, sub-template 3, and sub-template 4, the number of images that can be edited by sub-template 1 is 2, the number of images that can be edited by sub-template 2 is 1, the number of images that can be edited by sub-template 3 is 3, the number of images that can be edited by sub-template 4 is 2, and only 5 original images are uploaded by the user. According to the above method, all necessary original images are assigned to sub-template 1 to sub-template 2. After the last 2 original images are assigned to sub-template 3, 1 original image is additionally copied, and sub-template 3 also obtains the corresponding original image. Sub-template 4 has no original image assigned. In this case, sub-template 4 is directly discarded.

[0053] According to the above method, the limitation on the number of images uploaded by the user is reduced. For the image sub-template to which part of the images are assigned, complement is performed by image copying, and the image sub-template to which the images are assigned is directly discarded, so as to meet the user's need for image editing, make the use of the template more flexible, and effectively improve the user's experience when using the template.

[0054] Method 2: It may be executed with reference to the following steps a to b.

[0055] Step a: Obtain the template information of the image sub-template and the image information of the original image.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, the template information of the image sub-template includes the material information of each image sub-template (such as material category, material content, etc.), the number of images that can be edited by each image sub-template, and the total number of image sub-templates, and the image information of the original image includes the content information of the original image and the total number of the original images.

[0057] Step b: Based on the template information and the image information, determine the original image corresponding to each image sub-template, and the original images corresponding to different image sub-templates may be the same or different.

[0058] Specifically, when implementing, based on the template information and the image information, determine the degree of matching between each image sub-template and the original image, and thereby, based on the degree of matching, determine the original image corresponding to each image sub-template. As an example, assume that the text material of an image sub-template is "lovely child" and the content information of a certain original image includes children, then the image sub-template and the original image match. Also, when the number of original images is less than the number of images that can be edited by the target template, the original images may be supplemented by copying or the like.

[0059] According to the above method, based on the degree of matching between the image sub-template and the original image, adaptively assign the original image that matches the image sub-template to the image sub-template to achieve an intelligent matching effect and better meet the user's needs for image editing. Also, since the user does not need to perform the matching by himself / herself, it effectively reduces the user's time and effort for image editing and effectively improves the user's experience of using the template.

[0060] Determine the original image corresponding to the image sub-template, and obtain a plurality of target images based on the image sub-template and the original image corresponding to the image sub-template. When previewing the target images, the preview effects of the plurality of target images corresponding to the target template may be displayed on the image preview interface. In some embodiments, based on the order of the plurality of image sub-templates in the target template, the plurality of target images may be displayed on the image preview interface. As can be understood, for each image sub-template, one corresponding target image is generated, and based on the order of the plurality of image sub-templates in the target template, the generated plurality of target images are displayed on the image preview interface in the same order. Since the order of each image sub-template in the target template is known to the user, it is more consistent with the psychological expectations of the user when viewing the preview effects of the plurality of target images.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, the step of displaying the plurality of target images on the image preview interface includes the step of sequentially displaying each of the target images on the image preview interface as the main view, and the step of arranging and displaying the thumbnails of the plurality of target images on the image preview interface.

[0062] Here, the size of the thumbnail is smaller than the size of the main view, and both the order of sequentially displaying the target images as the main view and the order of arrangement of the thumbnails of the target images are consistent with the order in the target template of the image sub-template corresponding to the target image. For ease of understanding, reference may be made to the interface schematic diagram shown in FIG. 5. According to the above method, the user can not only examine the details of the target image in detail through the main view, but also examine the overall representation effect of the plurality of target images through the thumbnails, which is advantageous for the user to visually grasp the preview effects of the plurality of target images in terms of details and the whole.

[0063] To further improve the user's image editing experience and make the results of image editing more in line with the user's needs, image editing controls may be provided to the user in the image preview interface. As shown in FIG. 5, simple editing controls are illustrated but not limiting. As an example, the image editing control includes one or more of an image content editing control, an order adjustment control, and an image deletion control, which will be described below respectively.

[0064] In some specific embodiments, the image editing control includes an image content editing control, and the method further includes the following steps (1) to (2).

[0065] (1) In response to the image content editing control being triggered, switch the image preview interface to an image editing interface, and display the image to be edited among the plurality of target images in an image editing interface including a plurality of sub-controls for editing the content of the image to be edited. Each sub-control has a different function. For example, it includes, but is not limited to, an image switching control, a filter control, a text control, a special effect control, etc. For ease of understanding, as shown in FIG. 6, the image editing interface includes the image to be edited and a plurality of function controls for editing the image. When the user triggers the filter control, a plurality of filters that can be selected by the user and applied to the target image are further displayed. Note that FIG. 6 is only an illustration and should not be understood as a limitation.

[0066] (2) In response to the triggering of a target sub-control among a plurality of sub-controls, an image to be edited is edited based on a trigger operation on the target sub-control. The user may further individually edit the target image using the sub-control as needed to suit their needs, thereby greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of image editing by the user.

[0067] In some embodiments, the image editing interface further includes a thumbnail display control. As an example, in FIG. 6, there is a thumbnail display control on one side of the completion control indicating the completion of editing, and the user may change the corresponding state by the trigger thumbnail display control. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, there are the following two cases according to the state of the thumbnail display control.

[0068] Case 1: When the thumbnail display control is in the first state, thumbnails of a plurality of target images are arranged and displayed on the image editing interface. According to such a method, when the user edits the current target image, the user can examine the detailed effects of other target images through the thumbnails, which is advantageous for the user to integrate the information of all target images to edit the current image to be edited, and the image obtained by the editing is adjusted according to the user's needs.

[0069] In some specific embodiments, according to the content editing operation of the user on the image to be edited, the arrangement display positions of the thumbnails of a plurality of target images in the image editing interface may be determined. Then, based on the arrangement display positions, the thumbnails of the plurality of target images may be arranged and displayed on the image editing interface. For example, as a result of detection, when the user edits image A in target image 1 shown in FIG. 6, the thumbnails of the plurality of target images may be arranged and displayed above image A. As a result of detection, when the user edits image B in target image 1 shown in FIG. 6, the thumbnails of the plurality of target images may be arranged and displayed above image B. Such a method is advantageous for the user to simply and efficiently check the preview effects of all target images when editing an image, and contributes to the improvement of image editing efficiency.

[0070] In some other specific embodiments, the arrangement display positions of the thumbnails of a plurality of target images in the image editing interface may be fixed. For example, they may be arranged above or below the image to be edited, etc., but are not limited here.

[0071] Case 2: When the thumbnail display control is in the second state, the thumbnails of a plurality of target images in the image editing interface are made invisible. If the user needs to check the thumbnails of the plurality of target images, these thumbnails may be left invisible. In this case, the thumbnails in FIG. 6 are not displayed.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user may optionally select whether to display the thumbnails of a plurality of target images in the image editing interface, thereby improving the user's image editing experience.

[0073] As described above, the user can enter the image editing interface by triggering the image editing control on the image preview page, and through the image editing interface, the user can individually edit the target image that needs to be edited, thereby adjusting the target image more flexibly as needed.

[0074] In some exemplary embodiments, the image editing control includes a sequence adjustment control, and the above multimedia processing method further includes a step of adjusting the display order of a plurality of target images based on a trigger operation on the sequence adjustment control in response to the sequence adjustment control being triggered.

[0075] To enable the user to directly trigger the control to adjust the order of the target images, the sequence adjustment control may be a control displayed on the image preview interface, or the sequence adjustment control may be an invisible control. For example, it may be associated with the thumbnail of each target image in the image preview interface. When it is detected that the user drags the thumbnail, it is regarded that the user triggers the sequence adjustment control, and the display order of the plurality of target images is adjusted according to the user's dragging method.

[0076] According to the above method, the user is not limited to the order of each sub-template in the target template, and may flexibly adjust the display order of the plurality of target images, so that the display order of the plurality of finally displayed target images can be adjusted according to the user's needs.

[0077] In some exemplary embodiments, the image editing control includes an image deletion control, and the above multimedia processing method further includes a step of deleting the target image corresponding to the trigger operation on the image deletion control in response to the image deletion control being triggered.

[0078] To enable the user to directly trigger the control and easily delete unwanted target images, the image deletion control may be a control displayed on the image preview interface, or the image deletion control may be a hidden control. For example, it may be associated with the thumbnail of each target image in the image preview interface. When it is detected that the user operates the thumbnail in a specific manner (such as a long press, double click, etc.), the user is considered to have triggered the image deletion control, and the target image corresponding to the trigger operation on the image deletion control is deleted.

[0079] According to the above method, the user is not limited to the order of each sub-template in the target template, and may flexibly adjust the display order of multiple target images. As a result, the display order of the multiple finally displayed target images can be adjusted according to the user's needs.

[0080] In some exemplary embodiments, the image preview interface also displays music information that matches the target template. The image preview interface further includes a music switching control. The above multimedia processing method further includes the steps of: displaying a music list in response to the music switching control being triggered; and switching the music that matches the target template to the target music corresponding to the music selection operation in response to a music selection operation based on the music list.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to enhance the charm of multimedia, matching music is also associated with the target template. The theme of the matching music may be the same as the theme of the target template, for example, a "cute" theme or a "nostalgic" theme. Information such as the music name and singer of the matching music may be shown on the image preview interface. Furthermore, it is also supported that the user switches the matching music by the music switching control and finally displays the desired music. Thereafter, in the process of displaying a plurality of target images in the form of a carousel, the target music selected by the user may be played, and overall, multimedia information combining the desired images and music of the user is displayed.

[0082] The plurality of target images may be displayed as the main view in the form of a carousel on the image preview interface, and at the same time, the target music may also be played. The user can change the currently displayed main view by switching the main view or clicking on the thumbnail, and in this process, the playback of the target music is not affected.

[0083] In some embodiments, the plurality of target images have corresponding multimedia-related resources, and the multimedia-related resources are multimedia resources that are played while the plurality of target images are being displayed in the carousel. The multimedia-related resources may be music, or may be narration voices, animations, etc., but are not limited here.

[0084] The plurality of target images and multimedia-related resources generated based on the target template may be packaged to form a multimedia resource package. The multimedia resource package can be uploaded to a predetermined platform for display or sharing.

[0085] As described above, in the above - mentioned method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, multiple target images can be directly obtained from a target template including a plurality of image sub - templates and the original image uploaded by the user. Also, the user can adjust the target images by using image editing controls during image preview. It is very simple and efficient, effectively shortening the time taken for multi - image editing, improving the multi - image editing efficiency, and efficiently obtaining multimedia resources that meet the needs.
