Description

Technical Field

[0001] (Cross - reference to Related Applications) This application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202011296357.0, titled "Video Recording Method and Electronic Device", filed on November 18, 2020, and all its contents are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] This application belongs to the technical field of video processing, and specifically relates to a video recording method and an electronic device.

Background Art

[0003] With the continuous development of video processing technology, during video recording, the recording attributes that users can select are also increasing. Different video recording attributes can bring different video shooting experiences to users. Therefore, how to enhance the diversity of video shooting effects has become one of the important issues for improving users' shooting experiences.

[0004] In the prior art, video recording attributes are relatively single. Even if there are multiple video recording attributes that users can select, since they are mutually exclusive between different attributes, video shooting can only be carried out under one video recording attribute at a time. When a user wants to switch to another video recording attribute, the current recording process needs to be terminated, switched to another video recording attribute, and then the recording process needs to be restarted to perform video recording.

[0005] In the process of realizing this application, the inventor discovered that at least the following problems exist in the prior art. First, since video shooting can only be carried out under one video recording attribute at a time, the video shooting effect is single. Second, because the process of switching traditional video recording attributes is complicated, it is easy to miss important moments during the switching process, which reduces the user's video shooting experience.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] In the following, with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described. Naturally, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without requiring any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are not intended to describe a specific order or sequence, but rather to distinguish similar subjects. It should be understood that these terms may be interchangeable where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application can be carried out in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, it should be understood that subjects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., usually belong to a single category, and the number of subjects is not limited; for example, there may be one first subject or multiple subjects. Also, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected subjects, and the symbol " / " generally indicates that the preceding and succeeding related subjects are in an "or" relationship.

[0019] In the following, with reference to the drawings, the video recording method and electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with specific embodiments and their application scenes.

[0020] The video recording method provided in the embodiments of this application can be applied to video recording scenes using electronic devices that support various video recording attributes, such as video recording using the fun shooting function on a mobile phone. Here, the types of recording attributes related to the embodiments of this application include, but are not limited to, video recording mode, video recording parameters, lens scaling magnification, and lens type. In the prior art, different video recording attributes on the same electronic device are mutually exclusive. That is, when recording video using an electronic device, video recording can only be performed under one video recording attribute at a time, and if the user wants to switch to another video recording attribute, they must terminate the current recording process, switch to the other video recording attribute, and then restart the recording process to perform the video recording.

[0021] Based on this, the embodiment of this application provides the following video recording method. That is, in the process of performing a first video recording based on a first recording attribute, a second video is performed based on a second recording attribute for the same shooting scene, while continuing to record the first video based on a first input from the user. In this way, the user can start video recording based on the necessary recording attribute in a timely manner according to the actual needs of the shooting scene, and at the end of recording, videos recorded under different recording attributes can be obtained simultaneously. Furthermore, this increases the diversity of video recording effects and gives the user more choice when editing the video afterward. In addition, the user can switch recording attributes without stopping the video recording process, so that no shooting moment is missed, the switching operation is simplified, and the user's shooting experience is improved.

[0022] Naturally, in addition to recording a first video based on a first recording attribute and a second video based on a second recording attribute, the embodiments of this application can also be extended to recording other videos based on more other recording attributes. That is, while recording the first and second videos, it is also possible to continue recording the first and second videos based on specific user input while recording other videos based on other recording attributes, which is the same as in the embodiments, so a detailed explanation is omitted here.

[0023] In the following, based on the above application scenarios, the video recording method provided in the embodiment of this application will be described in detail with reference to Figures 1a to 4e.

[0024] Figure 1a is a flowchart of a video recording method shown in one exemplary embodiment.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1a, the video recording method may specifically include the following steps 110, 120, and 130.

[0026] In step 110, during the process of recording the first video based on the first recording attributes, the first input is received for the shooting preview screen corresponding to the first video.

[0027] In step 120, the second recording attribute is obtained in response to the first input.

[0028] In step 130, while maintaining the recording of the first video based on the first recording attributes, a second video is recorded based on the second recording attributes.

[0029] This allows for simultaneous recording of a first video using the first recording attribute and a second video using the second recording attribute, enabling users to acquire videos with different shooting effects as needed. This increases the diversity of video recording effects and expands user choice. Furthermore, by receiving the first input to the first video from the user, automatic switching of recording attributes can be achieved without terminating the video recording process. This allows for recording of every moment, simplifies the switching operation, and improves the user's shooting experience.

[0030] The above steps will be explained in detail below, specifically as follows:

[0031] Regarding step 110, when a first video recording is performed based on a first recording attribute, if the user makes a first input to the shooting preview screen corresponding to the first video, the first input is received.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first recording attribute may be one of the video recording modes, such as normal mode, slow lens mode, AR shooting mode, delayed shooting mode, or a user-defined recording mode. The first recording attribute may also be one of the video recording parameters, such as brightness a, chromaticity b, contrast c, or a user-defined recording parameter value. The first recording attribute may also be one of the lens scaling magnifications, such as 2x magnification, 10x magnification, or 2x reduction. Furthermore, the first recording attribute may also be one of the lens types, such as a main camera or a wide-angle camera.

[0033] In some of these embodiments, the first video may be the first video recorded after the electronic device has turned on the imaging mode, or it may be the first video recorded when recording video based on other recording attributes. Accordingly, the first recording attribute may be, but is not limited to, the recording attribute used by the system by default, or a recording attribute selected by the user.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1b, the shooting preview screen corresponding to the first video may be displayed on the main preview interface 10 and / or on the first display window 11. Here, the first display window 11 can be displayed semi-transparently suspended on top of the main preview interface 10.

[0035] Accordingly, the user's first input to the shooting preview screen corresponding to the first video may be, but is not limited to, an operation in which the user taps the shooting preview screen to trigger a popup of an attribute menu and selects a second recording attribute in the attribute menu, or a slide operation performed by the user according to the input features corresponding to the second recording attribute.

[0036] Similarly, for steps 120 and 130, the second recording attribute may be one of the video recording modes, one of the video recording parameters, one of the lens scaling magnifications, or one of the lens types. The second recording attribute differs from the first recording attribute, and this difference can be reflected in the fact that a second video recorded based on the second recording attribute and a first video recorded based on the first recording attribute may exhibit different video recording effects.

[0037] Based on this, after receiving the user's first input to the shooting preview screen corresponding to the first video, the recording of the first video based on the first recording attributes is not stopped. That is, the second recording attribute is selected, and while maintaining the recording of the first video based on the first recording attribute, the second video is recorded based on the second recording attribute. This enables seamless switching of recording attributes and also improves the user experience by allowing the user to obtain videos with different effects recorded with different recording attributes for the same shooting scene, which can then be edited and selected later.

[0038] Furthermore, when recording a second video based on the second recording attribute while maintaining the recording of the first video based on the first recording attribute, as shown in Figure 1c, the shooting preview screen corresponding to the first video may be displayed in the first display window 11, and the shooting preview screen corresponding to the second video may be displayed in the main preview interface 10 and / or the second display window 12.

[0039] In order to further process the recorded first and second videos, in addition to steps 110 to 130 described above, in some possible embodiments, the video recording method provided in the embodiments of this application may further include the following step 140 after step 130, as shown in Figure 2a.

[0040] In step 140, clip at least one of the first and second videos, perform video stitching based on the clipping results, and obtain the target video.

[0041] Here, the target video may be a new video generated after clipping and stitching have been performed on at least one of the first and second videos, which have completed recording. Here, the clipping and stitching process may be completed automatically by the device by default, or by a user-defined method, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] In this way, after video recording is complete, it is possible to clip and stitch together recorded videos with different effects without relying on third-party software, and the resulting target video can include video segments with different recording effects. This saves the user subsequent video processing time, enhances the enjoyment of video recording, and improves the user experience.

[0043] In some of these embodiments, the device may automatically complete the video clipping and stitching process by default. Accordingly, the steps of clipping at least one of the first and second videos, performing video stitching based on the clipping results, and obtaining the target video are specifically: Steps include obtaining the recording start time corresponding to the second video, A step of clipping a first video based on the recording start time and obtaining a target video segment, wherein the target video segment is a video segment of the first video that does not overlap with the second video in terms of video recording time, The process may include the steps of stitching together the target video segment and the second video according to the order in which the recording attributes are used to obtain the target video.

[0044] Here, the recording start time corresponding to the second video may be the time when recording of the second video begins based on the second recording attribute. Accordingly, the order in which the recording attributes are used may be in an order that is arranged according to the recording start time of each video.

[0045] For example, by default, the first and second videos can be stitched together in the order of first video to second video to form a single complete video, i.e., the target video. Here, the stitching takes place at the time when the two recording attributes are switched, i.e., the start time of recording for the second video. For example, when switching from the first recording attribute to the second recording attribute, the first video is still recording, but when stitching the first and second videos together, the start time of recording for the second video is used as the stitching point. At the same time, the portion of the first video that overlaps with the second video is directly cut out, leaving the video segment of the first video that does not overlap with the second video in terms of recording time, i.e., the target video segment. The target video segment and the second video are then stitched together to form a new video. Similarly, when recording video based on three or more recording attributes, the cutting of multiple videos and stitching between each video segment can be performed automatically. Of course, in addition to generating the target video, the complete recording results corresponding to each video may be saved separately in preparation for other video processing.

[0046] Thus, users do not need to use third-party software, and the device can automatically complete clipping and stitching processes for recorded videos with different effects, significantly reducing the user's video post-processing time. Furthermore, it allows for the recording of satisfactory videos by fully utilizing different recording attributes depending on the shooting scene, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] In some embodiments, the video clipping and stitching process may be completed in a user-defined manner. Accordingly, the steps of clipping at least one of the first and second videos, performing video stitching based on the clipping results, and obtaining the target video are specifically: A step of receiving a second input to a first video, clipping the first video in response to the second input to obtain a first video segment, stitching the first video segment and the second video together according to the usage order of the recording attributes to obtain a target video, or A step of receiving a third input to a second video, clipping the second video in response to the third input, obtaining a second video segment, stitching the first video and the second video segment together according to the order of use of recording attributes, and obtaining a target video, or The process may include the steps of receiving a second input to a first video and a third input to a second video, clipping the first video in response to the second input to obtain a first video segment, and clipping the second video in response to the third input to obtain a second video segment, and stitching the first video segment and the second video segment together in accordance with the order in which the recording attributes are used to obtain a target video.

[0048] Here, the user can freely choose the time to clip each video. That is, they can choose to clip the video or not. They can also freely choose which videos in the recording results to clip and stitch together for three or more video recordings.

[0049] It should be noted that, in a user-defined manner, the video that undergoes clipping and stitching may be all of the recorded video or only a portion of it, and this can be determined by the user.

[0050] For example, a user can selectively stitch videos together according to their preferences and scene needs by single-tapping to select them, and edit the stitching time for each video. Subsequently, the videos are stitched together according to the order in which the recording attributes are used to generate a new video, i.e., the target video. The user may, but is not limited to, change the stitching order of the videos. Naturally, in addition to generating the target video, the complete recording results corresponding to each video may be saved separately in preparation for other video processing.

[0051] To give a specific example, as shown in Figure 2b, out of four video recording results, namely the first video 21, the second video 22, the third video 23, and the fourth video 24, the user can select and stitch only the first video 21, the second video 22, and the fourth video 24, and can edit the stitching time of each video according to the time indication information 25.

[0052] In this way, it is possible to enhance user autonomy, better meet users' recording needs, provide users with more recording options, and further improve the user experience.

[0053] Based on the two methods described above, the user may further change the order in which recording attributes are used before the video stitching process to adjust the stitching order between videos. Accordingly, after step 130, the video recording method provided in the embodiment of this application may further include: receiving a fourth input to a first display window corresponding to a first video; adjusting the relative positional relationship between the first display window corresponding to the first video and a display window corresponding to at least one associated video in response to the fourth input, wherein the display window is used to display a shooting preview screen of the corresponding video; and updating the order in which recording attributes are used based on the adjustment result.

[0054] Here, during multiple video recording processes, the user can update the order in which recording attributes are used by adjusting the position of the display window corresponding to each video, thereby adjusting the stitching order between videos during video stitching. When performing video stitching, the stitching order may also be determined by the position of the display window corresponding to each video. For example, if the positions of the third display window corresponding to the third video and the second display window corresponding to the second video are swapped, the video stitching order will be adjusted from first video-second video-third video to first video-third video-second video.

[0055] It should be noted that, using a user-defined method, the user may adjust the position of the display window after video recording is complete and before video stitching is performed.

[0056] This allows users to rearrange the video stitching order at any time based on the actual shooting effect. This further enhances user autonomy and improves the user experience.

[0057] In addition to steps 110 to 130 described above, in one possible embodiment, as shown in Figure 3a, step 120 may specifically include steps 1201 to 1203, which are as follows:

[0058] In step 1201, at least one preset recording attribute is displayed, and this preset recording attribute includes a second recording attribute.

[0059] Here, the preset recording attributes may include multiple recording attributes that the user can select, such as multiple preset video recording modes, multiple preset video recording parameters, multiple preset lens scaling ratios, or multiple preset lens types. A detailed explanation is omitted here. Naturally, the preset recording attributes may also include multiple user-defined recording attributes.

[0060] In some embodiments, at least one preset recording attribute for the user to select can be displayed in a menu format. For example, as shown in Figure 3b, the first input may be a long press operation by the user on the first display window 11 corresponding to the first video. When long-pressed, a first menu list 31 is displayed on one side of the first display window 11, and in order to avoid duplicate selections, the list may also display at least one other preset recording attribute besides the first recording attribute. For example, if the first recording attribute is normal shooting mode, the recording attributes displayed in the first menu list 31 may include slow lens, AR shooting, delayed shooting, etc. The user can further customize and add more recording modes by tapping the "+" at the end of the menu list.

[0061] In step 1202, the fifth input to the second recording attribute is received.

[0062] Here, the fifth input may be, but is not limited to, a single tap by the user to select the displayed second recording attribute, or a slide operation performed by the user according to the input features corresponding to the second recording attribute.

[0063] In step 1203, the second recording attribute is obtained in response to the fifth input.

[0064] Here, the user can obtain the second recording attribute by selecting an icon corresponding to the second recording attribute or by performing a slide operation according to the input features corresponding to the second recording attribute.

[0065] This allows users to more easily select recording attributes from the displayed preset recording attributes. This enables them to quickly recall the necessary recording attributes in actual shooting situations and start video recording, further enhancing the user's shooting experience.

[0066] Furthermore, if the first video is the first video to be recorded, that is, if there are no other videos being recorded before the first video, the system uses the default recording attributes. Naturally, the user can also switch the recording attributes that the system is using by default before starting video recording. Specifically, in some possible embodiments, as shown in Figure 4a, the video recording method provided in the embodiments of this application may further include steps 1001 to 1005 before step 110, specifically as follows:

[0067] In step 1001, the sixth input is received.

[0068] Here, before video recording begins, the user can trigger the display of at least one preset recording attribute via the sixth input.

[0069] In step 1002, in response to the sixth input, at least one preset recording attribute is displayed, the preset recording attribute includes the first recording attribute.

[0070] To illustrate with an example, similar to the method described above, the sixth input may be a long press by the user on the first display window. A long press will display the first menu list on one side of the first display window, which will include at least one preset recording attribute, such as normal shooting, slow lens, AR shooting, or delayed shooting. The user can further customize and add more recording modes by tapping the "+" at the end of the menu list.

[0071] In step 1003, the seventh input is received for the first recording attribute.

[0072] Here, the seventh input may be, but is not limited to, a single tap by the user to select the first recording attribute that is displayed, or a slide operation performed by the user according to the input features corresponding to the first recording attribute.

[0073] In step 1004, the first recording attribute is obtained in response to the seventh input.

[0074] Here, the user can obtain the first recording attribute by selecting an icon corresponding to the first recording attribute or by performing a slide operation according to the input features corresponding to the first recording attribute.

[0075] In step 1005, the first video is recorded based on the first recording attributes, and the shooting preview screen corresponding to the first video is displayed in the first display window.

[0076] This allows users to trigger a display of preset recording attributes before starting video recording, and by selecting the first recording attribute that should be used first, they can switch the recording attributes used by the system by default and start recording the first video. This increases the user's freedom in selecting recording attributes, allowing them to record video according to their preferences and the needs of the actual shooting scene, and further enhances the user's shooting experience.

[0077] Based on the above embodiments, after step 1201 and / or step 1002, the video recording method provided in the embodiments of this application is: The step may further include displaying preset input suggestion information corresponding to the position associated with each preset recording attribute, where the preset input suggestion information indicates the input features of the preset input, and the preset input is an input for controlling the display of the display window corresponding to the preset recording attribute.

[0078] Accordingly, step 1203 specifically states: The process may include the steps of: obtaining input features corresponding to the fifth input; and, if it is determined that the input features match the input features of a preset input for controlling the display of the second display window corresponding to the second recording attribute, obtaining the second recording attribute.

[0079] In some examples, step 1004 specifically, The process may include the steps of: obtaining input features corresponding to the seventh input; and, if it is determined that the input features match the input features of a preset input for controlling the current recording attributes to switch to the first recording attributes, obtaining the first recording attributes. In this case, the preset input may be an input for performing a first video recording by controlling the current recording attributes to switch to the first recording attributes.

[0080] Here, different preset recording attributes can be associated with and displayed with different preset input information, thereby showing the user how to call up the corresponding recording attribute using shortcut operations to perform video recording, and controlling the display of the display window for showing the video recording preview screen.

[0081] To illustrate with an example, as shown in Figure 4b, when a user long-presses the first display window 11, the first menu list 31 is displayed on one side of the first display window 11. This list includes at least one preset recording attribute, and on one side of each preset recording attribute, a corresponding instruction arrow, i.e., preset input suggestion information, is displayed. Based on this preset input suggestion information, the user can perform the corresponding input operation. For example, by sliding in the direction of the instruction arrow, the corresponding recording attribute can be quickly recalled to perform video recording, and the display window for showing the video recording preview screen can be controlled.

[0082] Furthermore, after step 130, the video recording method described above will be specifically as follows: The process may further include the step of displaying a shooting preview screen corresponding to the second video in the second display window in response to the fifth input.

[0083] In this way, users can quickly access the corresponding recording attributes and start video recording using the shortcut method, enhancing the video recording effect and improving the user's shooting experience.

[0084] In some of these embodiments, the preset input may be a preset slide operation, and accordingly, the input feature of the preset input may be the slide direction relative to the target display window.

[0085] In this context, preset slide operations from the target display window may include, for example, upward slides, downward slides, leftward slides, and rightward slides, all originating from the target display window.

[0086] To illustrate with an example, as shown in Figure 4c, when recording the first video in normal shooting mode, if a moving object appears in the shooting scene and the user wants to switch to the slow lens to capture that moving object, they can directly long-press the first display window 11 and, based on the arrow indication in the pop-up first menu list 31, slide downwards from the first display window 11 following the downward indicator arrow corresponding to the slow lens. In this way, while continuing to record the first video, the second display window 12 is automatically generated, slow lens shooting is performed simultaneously, and the second video is recorded, and the corresponding shooting preview screen is displayed in the second display window 12.

[0087] Similarly, as shown in Figure 4d, if the user wants to switch to AR shooting mode in the above scene, they can continue to long-press the second display window 12 and slide it to the left based on the arrow indication in the second menu list 32. In this way, the third display window 13 is automatically generated to perform AR shooting, and the first display window 11 and the second display window 12 continue to record video in the corresponding modes, and so on.

[0088] In this way, users can quickly access and use the corresponding recording attributes with simple slide gestures to start video recording. This further enhances the user's shooting experience.

[0089] Furthermore, after displaying a shooting preview screen corresponding to the second video in the second display window, the video recording method provided in the embodiment of this application is: The steps include obtaining the bearing of the first display window relative to the second display window, A step of determining a first direction based on the said orientation, If it is determined that the first direction coincides with the target slide direction, the step of updating the target slide direction to a direction different from the first direction may further include the step that the target slide direction is the slide direction of a preset slide operation for controlling the display of the third display window corresponding to the third recording attribute.

[0090] To illustrate with an example, as shown in Figure 4e, if, after calling up the second display window 12, the arrow directions in the second menu list 32, which are triggered when the user long-presses the second display window 12, are exactly the same as the arrow directions in the first menu list 31, which are triggered when the user long-presses the first display window 11, then when the user attempts to call up the delayed shooting mode based on the second display window 12 to perform third video recording and trigger the third display window, the user needs to perform an upward slide operation. However, because the first display window 11 is located above the second display window 12, the display positions of the third display window 13 and the first display window 11 collide. Therefore, in the event of a collision, the arrow direction corresponding to the delayed shooting mode can be adjusted in the second menu list 32, for example, by adjusting the arrow direction to the left.

[0091] This allows for real-time detection of the window position around the most recently displayed window, and furthermore, if it matches the target slide direction corresponding to an unused recording attribute, it adjusts the target slide direction in a timely manner to avoid collisions and improve the stability and reliability of the video recording process.

Here, the preset input suggestion information indicates the input characteristics of the preset input, and the preset input is an input for controlling the display of the display window corresponding to the preset recording attribute. The processor 702 further acquires input features corresponding to the fifth input, and if it determines that the input features match the input features of a preset input for controlling the display of the second display window corresponding to the second recording attribute, it is used to acquire the second recording attribute.

Here, the target slide direction is the slide direction of a preset slide operation for controlling the display of the third display window corresponding to the third recording attribute.

[0154] This allows users to constantly invoke new recording attributes and record videos with different attributes, simultaneously obtaining shooting results with different effects, and further performing clipping and stitching operations on multiple videos with different recording effects. In this way, users are easily and quickly guided to discover and use more recording attributes, enriching video recording effects, saving users time required for post-processing, and improving the variety and enjoyment of recordings.
