DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art on the basis of the embodiments of the present application without any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0015] The terms "first," "second," etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are intended to distinguish between similar objects and are not intended to describe a particular order or sequence. It is to be understood that data so used are interchangeable where appropriate, such that the embodiments of the present application may be performed in an order other than that shown or described herein, and that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc. are generally of the same type and are not limited in number, e.g., the first object may be one or more. Note that "and / or" in the specification and claims refers to at least one of the objects connected, and the character " / " generally refers to an "or" relationship between the related objects.

[0016] Hereinafter, the photographing method according to the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the drawings.

[0017] An embodiment of the present application provides an imaging method, and FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the imaging method of the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the steps of the method include the following steps:

[0018] Step S102: displaying a plurality of controls in a first area of ​​the shooting interface, where the number of cameras is multiple, each control corresponds to one camera, and the plurality of controls includes a first target control.

[0019] Step S104, receiving a first input for controlling the first target control to move to a second area of ​​the shooting interface.

[0020] Step S106: In response to the first input, focus a first target object indicated by a second region by a camera corresponding to a first target control in the photographing interface.

[0021] Through the above steps S102 to S106, a first target control among the multiple controls displayed in the first area of ​​the shooting interface can be moved to the second area of ​​the shooting interface through a first input, and the first target object can be focused on by the camera corresponding to the first target control; that is, a camera corresponding to the corresponding control can be selected and focused on the target object through direct input; when there are multiple target objects in the current shooting interface, multiple controls can be selected and focused respectively to achieve accurate focusing on each target object, but there is no need to switch between different shooting modes, which improves the shooting effect and at the same time improves the user's experience of shooting with the multi-camera device, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that when it is necessary to switch cameras to shoot during shooting with a multi-camera device, not only is the switching operation relatively complicated, but the focusing effect is also relatively poor.

[0022] It should be understood that each camera can only focus on one target object at the same time, and in order to avoid a user still moving the corresponding control after using a camera, optionally, the first target control disappears after focusing on the first target in the second area after moving from the first area to the second area. Of course, the icon of the first target control may be changed to a transparent and non-touchable icon after the first target control moves from the first area to the second area.

[0023] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, the input operations, such as the first input, the second input, etc., related to the embodiment of the present application may be different touch operations, such as a slide operation on the device screen, or different click operations, for example, a double click on the device screen corresponds to the first input, a triple click operation corresponds to the second input, etc. The corresponding first input, second input, etc. may be determined by detecting the motion trajectory of the device, i.e., different motion trajectories correspond to different inputs. The present application is not limited to the specific forms of the first input, the second input, and the subsequent other inputs.

[0024] It should be noted that the first area in the embodiment of the present application may be a fixed area installed at the top, side or bottom of the shooting interface, or may be a pop-up window installed at the top, side or bottom of the shooting interface, and the application does not specifically limit it, and may be set according to the actual situation. However, the second area is in the preview box of the shooting interface, and the specific location is determined by the target object waiting to be photographed, that is, the target object is in the second area. In the embodiment of the present application, the first area is installed at the bottom of the shooting interface, and is located above the control for controlling shooting. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, different controls are represented by circles in the first area, and different filled circles represent the controls corresponding to different cameras, and the lower part of the first area is the control for the user to control shooting, the control for switching between the front camera and the rear camera, and the control for previewing the image. In FIG. 2, the first area is displayed in the form of a drawer, and of course, the first area may be presented in other forms, and the application does not limit it.

[0025] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, the manner of receiving the first input related to step S104 of the present application may further include the following steps.

[0026] Step S104-11, moving the first target control to a second area of ​​the shooting interface based on the first input; or In step S104-12, a corresponding first target control is determined based on the shooting target selected by the first input, and the first target control is moved from the first area to the second area.

[0027] As can be seen from the above steps S104-11 and S104-12, in the embodiment of the present application, in step S104-11, if the first input is a slide operation, the first target control may be slid to the second area by the slide operation, as shown in Fig. 3, that is, the corresponding control may be selected by the slide operation to focus on the corresponding target object. The first area in the above step S104-11 may be located under a certain shooting target, and the first target control may be moved from the first area to the second area according to a moving command corresponding to the touch operation (first input) sensed by the device, as shown in Fig. 4, and the first target control may be any one of the controls in the first area, where the control marked with "x" in Fig. 4 is for canceling the focusing operation, and of course, other methods may be adopted to cancel the focusing operation in other application scenarios, and the method in the above Fig. 4 is merely an example.

[0028] For step S104-12, as shown in Fig. 5, automatic focusing is realized by clicking the target button "portrait focus" in the shooting interface, that is, different objects can be focused by cameras corresponding to different controls, and there is no need to manually select the corresponding control and then focus. However, in either method, different cameras can be adopted to realize focusing for different target objects in different shooting interfaces, so that each target object can achieve accurate focusing.

[0029] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, after focusing on a first target object indicated by the second area by a camera corresponding to the first target control in the shooting interface, the steps of the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0030] Step S108: after the first target object is focused on, the first target control is transparently displayed in the second region.

[0031] As can be seen, when the focus on the shooting target has been completed, the target control is displayed transparently in the shooting interface, and as shown in FIG. 6, the three target objects in the preview box of the shooting interface have all been focused on, and the corresponding controls are displayed in a transparent manner in the area where the target objects are located, and the transparency of the controls can be set according to needs or can be set by default. By displaying the controls in a transparent manner, it is easier for the user to recognize which shooting target has been focused on. In addition, for the controls that have already been focused on, in this application, the controls that have been focused on are displayed transparently around the shooting targets without overlapping with the positions of the shooting targets, i.e., without blocking the shooting targets to determine the focusing effect of the camera on the target objects.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present application, after focusing on a first target object indicated by a second area by a camera corresponding to a first target control in the shooting interface relating to step S106, the steps of the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0033] Step S110, receiving a second input for canceling focus lock on a first target object of the camera corresponding to the first target control.

[0034] Step S112, in response to a second input, switch the first target control back to the first region.

[0035] In a specific application scenario, the second input in the above steps S110 and S112 may be a double-click operation or a long press operation to cancel the focusing operation. In a specific application scenario, as shown in FIG. 7, after double-clicking the control of the focused shooting target in the upper right corner of the preview box of the shooting interface, the focusing on the shooting target in the upper right corner is canceled, and then the first target control is moved out of the area of ​​the target object, the first target control automatically switches back to the first area, where switching back to the first area may mean switching the first target control back to its original position, or switching the first target control back to an empty position closer to the front in the first area. For example, when the order is from left to right, it can be switched back to an empty position closer to the left in the first area.

[0036] In another optional embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, after focusing on a first target object indicated by a second area by a camera corresponding to a first target control in the shooting interface relating to step S106, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0037] Step S114, receiving a third input for controlling the first target control to slide into a third area of ​​the photography interface.

[0038] Step S116, in response to a third input, focusing on a second target object indicated by a third region by the camera corresponding to the first target control in the photographing interface.

[0039] According to the above steps S114 and S116, if the current focusing effect is poor, it may indicate that the selection of the current focusing camera is not very appropriate, and the correspondence between the control and the target object can be adjusted, that is, the control of this target object can be moved to the area of ​​another target object to focus on the other target object. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, if the control used for focusing on the first target object corresponds to a telephoto camera, but after focusing is completed, it is found that this telephoto camera is not suitable for this first target object, the first target control can be moved to another area (third area) to focus on the target object in the third area, thereby realizing the adjustment to the focusing object of the camera corresponding to the control.

[0040] In another optional embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, after focusing on a first target object indicated by a second area by a camera corresponding to a first target control in the shooting interface relating to step S106 of the present application, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0041] Step S118, receiving a fourth input for controlling a first target control in the second region to exchange positions with a second target control in the fourth region.

[0042] Step S120, in response to a fourth input, focusing on a third target object indicated by a fourth region by a camera corresponding to the first target control, and focusing on the first target object by a camera corresponding to the second target control.

[0043] According to the above steps S118 and S120, if the current focusing effect is poor, it may indicate that the current selection of the focusing camera is not very suitable, and the corresponding relationship between the control and the target object can be adjusted, that is, the control of this target object can be moved to the area of ​​another target object to focus on the other target object. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the control used for focusing on the first target object corresponds to a telephoto camera, and the control used for focusing on the second target object corresponds to a short-focus camera, but after the focusing is completed, the telephoto camera does not match the first target object and moves to the second target object. If it is found to match, that is, if the short-focus camera simultaneously indicates that it is not matched with the second target object, the focus on the first target object can be canceled and the control corresponding to the telephoto camera can be moved to the area where the second target object is located, or the focus on the second target object can be canceled and the control corresponding to the short-focus camera can be moved to the area where the first target object is located, specifically, after the two controls overlap, the control that has not been moved automatically moves to focus on the area of ​​the moved control, while the moving control may stay in its current area and focus.

[0044] In another optional embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, after focusing on a first target object indicated by a second area by a camera corresponding to a first target control in the shooting interface relating to step S106 of the present application, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0045] Step S122, a fifth input is received for controlling a third target control of the controls displayed in the first area to exchange position with the first target control in the second area.

[0046] Step S124, in response to the fifth input, focus the first target object by the camera corresponding to the third target control.

[0047] Through steps S122 and S124 in the embodiment of the present application, after receiving a fifth input, an exchange of the controls in the first and second areas can be realized, for example, by selecting a control in the second area and then sliding the control in the second area to the first area by a sliding operation to cover the control to be replaced, and the control in the first area automatically moves to the second area to focus on its target object, while the control in the second area is displayed in the first area.

[0048] In another optional embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, after focusing on a first target object indicated by a second area by a camera corresponding to a first target control in the shooting interface relating to step S106 of the present application, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0049] Step S126: after the focusing on all the target objects in the photographing interface is completed, preview the focusing result in the photographing interface, where no control is displayed on the focusing result.

[0050] After completing focusing on all the target objects, the display effect of the target objects after focusing can be displayed in a preview box, but no control is displayed for this focusing result to avoid the control affecting the display effect of the target objects.

[0051] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, after displaying a plurality of controls in the first area of ​​the shooting interface, the steps of the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0052] Step S128, receiving a sixth input for controlling a control in the first region to slide in a first direction to reveal a hidden control.

[0053] Based on the above step S128, when the device has a relatively large number of cameras, i.e., a relatively large number of corresponding controls, and when all the controls cannot be left in the current display area, some of the controls need to be hidden; when some of the controls are hidden, a sixth input (e.g., a slide operation) can be used to slide the controls in the first area and further display the hidden controls; as shown in FIG. 10, when sliding to the right in response to the sixth input, the corresponding controls can be displayed and the previous controls can be further hidden; of course, sliding to the left can display the hidden controls; that is, the first direction in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to a specific direction, but may be multiple directions.

[0054] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, after displaying a plurality of controls in the first area of ​​the shooting interface, the steps of the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0055] Step S130, receiving a seventh input for controlling the first region to expand and display the plurality of controls in the second direction and display text information corresponding to the plurality of controls.

[0056] To help users understand the role of each control more clearly , the seventh inputIn response to the request, a plurality of controls in the first area can be expanded and displayed, and corresponding text information can be displayed, which is used to describe the role of the corresponding control. In a specific application scenario, it may be as shown in FIG. 11, where the user can fully pull out the drawer by clicking the "arrow" at the top of the drawer, in which case all the cameras are displayed, and there is a corresponding camera description at the bottom of the camera icon, so that the user can easily understand which cameras correspond to different icons, and the drawer can be automatically pulled in by clicking the "arrow" again.

[0057] Hereinafter, the present application will be described by way of examples in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present application.

[0058] This specific embodiment provides a method for follow focus photography based on an array camera and for multi-camera cases, by operating multiple cameras. As shown in FIG. 12, the steps of this method include the following steps:

[0059] Step S1201: Open the camera photo taking preview interface.

[0060] Step S1202, invoke a multi-point follow focus mode in the preview interface.

[0061] Now, in the camera preview interface, slide up from the preview box and drag the drawer where the cameras are located (for the first area above), which includes all available array cameras for the user to select, as shown in Figure 2. Note that you can also slide up a little from the bottom of the preview box to call up the camera drawer, and slide down to retract the drawer.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 10, if there are too many cameras, the user can press and slide the camera drawer left or right to flip the page and select controls corresponding to more cameras. In this way, the page flip display method allows controls corresponding to more different cameras to be displayed for the user to select.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 11, the drawer can be fully pulled out by pressing the upward "little arrow", in which case the controls corresponding to all cameras are displayed, and there is a corresponding camera description at the bottom of the control icon, so that the user can easily understand the camera corresponding to the different icons. Currently, the camera outputting the current preview screen is displayed at the top right of the preview box. In this interface, the camera outputting the preview screen can be selected by single-click tapping or the icon can be long-pressed to select the camera for focus lock, and after selecting the camera, the drawer will be automatically pulled in, thereby facilitating the user to select the focus target on the preview screen.

[0064] Step S1203: Single click tap to complete switching of the preview camera.

[0065] In this step S1203, by clicking on the camera in the drawer, a different camera can be selected as the camera for outputting the preview screen.

[0066] Step S1204: Hold down the camera to be selected and drag it to the target to complete focusing.

[0067] Here, after pulling out the camera drawer, the user can select a control corresponding to any one of the cameras, hold it down and drag it to the focus target on the preview screen (corresponding to the first input above), and when the user releases it, it will enter a locked state, which means that the corresponding target will be locked and focus lock tracking will be performed; the camera that enters the locked state will be made semi-transparent and displayed at the bottom left of the lock target to avoid blocking the screen and affecting the user's preview experience; and the device will recognize and track the focus lock target through image recognition technology, so that the lock point of each selected camera will be maintained on the focus target until the focus target moves away from the screen.

[0068] If the camera focus lock target needs to be switched, enter step S1205; if the camera focus lock target needs to be cancelled, enter step S1206; if the user has already completed the camera focus lock and does not want to make any changes, enter the take picture flow step S1207.

[0069] Step S1205: Single-click tap the camera icon that has entered the locked state, and drag it again to select a new focus target.

[0070] Here, if the user wants to switch the focus target, he / she can tap the already transparent icon (i.e., the focus-locked camera) to cancel the lock state and enter the selection state, in which case the icon will cancel the semi-transparent state and the user needs to hold down the camera icon again and drag it to the new target to complete the focus lock. As shown in Figure 8, if there are multiple focus-locked targets, the user can also move the camera icon directly to the locked target in the above manner to quickly swap the focus cameras of the two locked targets, and after completion, enter step S1207.

[0071] In step S1206, the camera icon that has entered the locked state is double-clicked to cancel the focus lock.

[0072] Here, as shown in FIG. 7, if the user does not want to use a certain camera to focus on the target, he / she can double-click the corresponding already transparent icon (i.e., the focus-locked camera) to cancel the locked state to it, and then this camera icon can return to the drawer frame again, and enter step S1207 after completion.

[0073] Step S1207, the user can click the take picture button to take a picture after the camera focus lock has been completed.

[0074] Here, the user clicks the take photo button to complete the photo taking after the camera focus lock has already been completed, and obtains one clear image containing multiple camera single point focus, and the icon on the take photo preview box is still reserved for the user to continue taking photos with multi-camera single point follow focus next time.

[0075] As can be seen, the method of performing multi-camera single-point follow focus using multiple cameras according to the specific embodiment of the embodiment of the present application allows users to customize the focus target, simultaneously take photos with clear distant and close-up views, or take photos with the effect of multiple cameras focusing simultaneously, thereby improving the photo quality of mobile phones and bringing users a good photo experience.

[0076] It should be noted that in the photographing method according to the embodiment of the present application, the execution body can be a photographing device, or a control module for executing the photographing method in the photographing device. In the embodiment of the present application, the photographing method according to the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the execution of the photographing method by the photographing device as an example.
