[0035] FIG2 shows a flowchart of an example process of setting a cover according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Process 200 may be implemented at electronic device 110. Process 200 is described below with reference to FIG1 and FIG3A to FIG3E.

[0036] As shown in FIG2 , at block 210, the electronic device 110 may provide multiple entries for setting multiple covers for the media content in the media content settings interface, where the multiple entries are associated with multiple cover ratios. In some embodiments, the media content settings interface may be a publishing interface for a work to be published, or an editing interface for an existing work. In some embodiments, the media content may be any appropriate media content including visual content, such as video content, photo album content, or an electronic photo album.

[0037] In some embodiments, multiple cover ratios may correspond to the cover setting requirements of multiple platforms. For example, platform A displays media content at a screen ratio of A, and platform B displays media content at a screen ratio of B (different from A). The multiple cover ratios may include A and B. The entry associated with A can be set to a cover adapted for platform A, and the entry associated with B can be set to a cover adapted for platform B.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 providing multiple entries for setting multiple covers of the media content in the media content setting interface may include: providing multiple entries in the media content setting interface in response to the ratio of the media content meeting a preset condition.

[0039] In some embodiments, the preset condition may be that the media content is landscape content or portrait content. For example, landscape content may indicate that the width of the media content is greater than its height, whereas portrait content may indicate that the height of the media content is greater than its width. For example, electronic device 110 may support providing multiple cover setting entries only for landscape content.

[0040] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may provide a settings interface 300A as shown in FIG3A . In interface 300A, electronic device 110 may provide a cover entry area 305. Cover entry area 305 may include multiple entries, such as a horizontal cover entry 305-1 and a vertical cover entry 305-2. The cover ratio corresponding to horizontal cover entry 305-1 may be 4:3, and the cover ratio corresponding to vertical cover entry 305-2 may be 3:4. In some examples, the name and / or ratio information of the entry may be displayed below the entry.

[0041] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide multiple recommended covers 250-3 in the cover entry area 305. The recommended covers are intelligently generated based on the current media content. For example, the recommended cover 250-3 may be a screenshot from the media content, or a cover related to the theme of the media content.

[0042] In some embodiments, based on the selection of a portal, the electronic device 110 provides a plurality of recommended covers 250 - 3 that match the cover ratio of the portal in the cover portal area.

[0043] 2 , at block 220 , electronic device 110 may present an editing interface in response to selection of a first entry from among the multiple entries, where the first entry corresponds to the first cover ratio. It is understood that the first entry is one entry selected from among the multiple entries, i.e., the first entry may represent any one of the multiple entries.

[0044] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG3A , the electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of a first entry (taking the horizontal cover entry 305 - 1 as an example) among multiple entries, and accordingly present an editing interface 300B as shown in FIG3B .

[0045] 2 , in block 230 , the electronic device 110 may generate a first cover corresponding to the first cover ratio based on the editing operation in the editing page.

[0046] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may acquire a first image, determine a second image that matches the ratio of the first cover according to the first image, and further generate a first cover including the second image according to the second image.

[0047] Taking Figure 3B as an example, the electronic device 110 may provide an upload control 315 in the editing page 300B of Figure 3B. Further, as an example, the electronic device 110 may present a selection page including multiple reference cover images in response to the triggering of the upload control 315. The electronic device 110 may receive at least one reference cover image selected by the user in the selection page as the first image. The reference cover image may be a local image stored by the user in the electronic device 110. Exemplarily, the electronic device 110 may also call the camera and display a photo preview interface in response to the triggering of the upload control 315. Further, the electronic device 110 may receive the photo taken by the user as the first image in response to the user's shooting operation, and continue to present the editing page 300B, that is, the electronic device 110 may receive the photo taken and uploaded by the user as the first image.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may provide a media image area 320 in the editing page 300A of Figure 3A. The electronic device 110 may provide multiple media content images in the media image area 320. A media content image is an image contained in the media content. The electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of a target image from the multiple media content images and use the target image as the first image. As an example, when the type of media content is video, the multiple media content images are video frames. In some embodiments, the video frames may be presented as multiple video frames intelligently recommended by the electronic device 110, or as all video frames corresponding to the media content that the user can freely select.

[0049] Continuing with the example of FIG3B , electronic device 110 may provide a cover setting area 310 in editing interface 300B of FIG3B . Cover setting area 310 may display the determined first image. Electronic device 110 may also display a selection box corresponding to the current cover ratio in cover setting area 310 and, based on the user's movement of the selection box, determine an image portion from the first image that matches the current cover ratio as the second image.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may distinguish between the portion selected as the second image and other portions of the first image in the cover setting area 310. As an example, the electronic device 110 may highlight the image portion in the selector.

[0051] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further add at least one material to the second image based on the user's editing operation to generate the first cover, wherein the at least one material may include a text material and / or an image material. For example, the text material may include a title and text, and the image material may include a sticker and other image content.

[0052] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may provide multiple setting items 325 in the editing page 300B of Figure 3B. As an example, as shown in the page 300B of Figure 3B, the multiple setting items 325 may include a selection setting item, a template setting item, a sticker setting item, a title setting item, a text setting item, and a filter setting item.

[0053] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may receive a user adjustment of the capture position of the first image in response to triggering the selection setting item, and display a second image captured from the first image in the cover setting area 310. The user's adjustment of the capture position of the first image is based on the first cover ratio, that is, the user can arbitrarily adjust the capture position in the first image based on the first cover ratio to obtain the second image.

[0054] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may receive a target template selected by the user from a plurality of templates in response to triggering a template setting item, and display a second image based on the target template in the cover setting area 310 .

[0055] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may receive a target sticker selected by the user from a plurality of stickers in response to triggering the sticker setting item, and display the target sticker on the second image in the cover setting area 310. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may receive a drag operation from the user to change the position of the target sticker.

[0056] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can display the title or text input by the user through natural language on the second image in the cover setting area 310 in response to triggering the title setting item or the text setting item. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can receive the user's drag operation to change the position of the title or text.

[0057] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may receive a target filter selected by the user from a plurality of filters in response to triggering a filter setting item, and display the second image based on the target filter in the cover setting area 310 .

[0058] In some embodiments, referring again to FIG3B , electronic device 110 may further present a first preview component 330 in the edit page 300B of FIG3B . Electronic device 110 may display the current cover content's presentation result on the corresponding interface in first preview component 330, such as presentation result 330-1 shown in FIG3B . It should be noted that the current cover content may include a second image and at least one element added to the second image.

[0059] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also update the first preview component 330 in real time in response to editing the current cover content in the cover setting area 310. For example, the electronic device 110 may add sticker material to the current cover content displayed in the first preview component 330 in response to the user adding sticker material to the second image in the cover setting area 310.

[0060] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may display an editing page 300C as shown in FIG. 3C based on the user's triggering of a selection setting item, a text setting item, etc. and corresponding operations in the editing page 300B of FIG. 3B .

[0061] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3C , the electronic device 110 may display the second image and the current cover content 355-1 of the first text material 350 in the cover setting area 310 of the editing page 300C of FIG3C . Simultaneously, the electronic device 110 may display a presentation result 330-1 of the current cover content 355-1 in the corresponding interface in the first preview component 330 .

[0062] 3C , the electronic device 110 may provide a completion control 340 in the edit page 300C of FIG3C . Further, the electronic device 110 may generate a first cover based on the current display content in the cover setting area 310 in response to triggering the completion control 340 .

[0063] 2 , at block 240 , the electronic device 110 may generate a second cover corresponding to a second cover ratio among the plurality of cover ratios based at least in part on the generated first cover.

[0064] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a cover draft generated based on the first cover, wherein the cover draft corresponds to the second cover ratio. Additionally, the electronic device 110 may generate a second cover based on editing the cover draft.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further determine a target image portion corresponding to the second cover ratio in the target image based on the target image included in the first cover. Further, the electronic device 110 may generate a cover draft based on the target image portion.

[0066] In some embodiments, the target image may be a background image in the first cover, and the target image portion is a portion of the target image that is cut out based on the second cover ratio. For example, electronic device 110 may cut out the center of the background image of the first cover based on the second cover ratio to obtain a cover draft.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first cover may further include at least one item of material superimposed on the target image, such as the text material or image material discussed above. In response, in response to the captured portion of the target image being associated with the target material in the first cover, the electronic device 110 may further include at least a portion of the target material in the cover draft.

[0068] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 3C, the electronic device 110 may provide a vertical cover setting control 345 in the editing page 300C of Figure 3C. As an example, the vertical cover control 345 may be associated with a second cover ratio (different from the first cover ratio) among multiple cover ratios. Further, the electronic device 110 may display an editing page 300D as shown in Figure 3D in response to the triggering of the vertical cover control 345. Taking Figure 3D as an example, the electronic device 110 may continue to receive the user's settings for the vertical cover in the same editing component. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide different editing components, for example.

[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3D , electronic device 110 may display a cover draft 355-2 in the cover settings area 310 of the edit page 300D. For example, the cover draft 355-2 in the edit page 300D is a portion extracted from the current cover content 355-1 based on the second cover ratio. Additionally, as shown in FIG3D , the cover draft 255-1 may also include a portion of the first text material 350 included in the current cover content 355-1.

[0070] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also support automatic adjustment of the materials included in the first cover according to the second cover ratio. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may adjust at least one material in the first cover based on the second cover ratio, so that the cover draft includes the adjusted at least one material. As an example, when the first cover includes at least one material, in order to better adapt to the second cover ratio, while generating the cover draft, the electronic device 110 may adjust the size of the at least one material based on the second cover ratio, so that the adjusted at least one material can be fully presented in the cover draft with an appropriate size. It should be understood that any other appropriate way to adjust the material may also be included, for example, adjusting the display position, display angle, display style, etc. of the material.

[0071] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may further receive user edits to the cover draft. For example, such edits may include, but are not limited to: editing or replacing image content in the cover draft; editing the first material in the cover draft; and adding an additional second material to the cover draft. It should be understood that the first material referred to here refers to the material derived from the first cover.

[0072] As an example, electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of a first material in the cover draft. Furthermore, electronic device 110 may receive a user's edit operation on the selected first material and present the edited first material in the cover draft. The specific process for editing the material can be found in the aforementioned process of adding at least one material to the second image and will not be further elaborated here.

[0073] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may provide a reselect base image component 360 in the edit page 300D of FIG. 3D . Furthermore, electronic device 110 may, in response to triggering reselect base image 360, receive a user's selection of another image from a plurality of media content images and use the other image as the background image for the vertical cover. Furthermore, the aforementioned method for selecting an image may be referred to as described above and will not be further elaborated here.

[0074] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3D , the electronic device 110 may display the presentation result of the current cover content in the corresponding interface in the first preview component 330, such as the presentation result 330-2 shown in Figure 3D . Additionally, such presentation result 330-2 may also be updated based on the editing of the current cover content.

[0075] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may provide a completion component 340 in the edit page 300D of Figure 3D. Further, the electronic device 110 may generate a second cover corresponding to the second cover ratio in response to the completion component 340 being triggered, and display a settings page 300E as shown in Figure 3E.

[0076] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a first cover associated with the first entry in the settings interface; or present a second cover associated with the second entry in the settings interface, where the second entry corresponds to a second cover ratio. For example, as shown in FIG3E , the electronic device 110 may display multiple generated covers in multiple entries. As an example, as shown in FIG3E , the electronic device 110 may display the corresponding covers that have been set in the horizontal cover entry 305-1 and the vertical cover entry 305-2, respectively.

[0077] In some embodiments, referring again to FIG3E , the electronic device 110 may display a second preview component 365 in the settings page 300E. The electronic device 110 may provide multiple switch entries corresponding to multiple cover ratios in the second preview component 365. For example, a horizontal cover switch entry 370-1 corresponding to the horizontal cover entry 305-1 and a vertical cover switch entry 370-2 corresponding to the vertical cover entry 305-2 may be provided.

[0078] Furthermore, electronic device 110 may, based on selection of a target switching entry from among the multiple switching entries, use second preview component 265 to present a third cover image on a corresponding interface, where the third cover image corresponds to the target switching entry. For example, electronic device 110 may, based on selection of horizontal cover switching entry 370-1, use second preview component 265 to present a cover image associated with horizontal cover switching entry 370-1 on a corresponding interface. For example, the corresponding interface may be an interface of application 120 that displays media content.

[0079] In some embodiments, the settings interface presented by the electronic device 110 includes a publishing interface for the media content. As an example, the electronic device 110 may display a publishing interface and provide the cover settings entry discussed above in the publishing interface in response to a request to publish the media content.

[0080] Although the above describes the process of setting multiple covers in combination with generating a vertical cover based on a horizontal cover, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also assist in generating a horizontal cover based on the user's setting of a vertical cover.

[0081] Furthermore, after the media content completes the setting of multiple covers of different proportions, the embodiments of the present disclosure can further support the corresponding presentation of covers according to the type of component displaying the media content. Specifically, if the media content is presented in a target component, the target component can present a target cover that matches the proportion of the target component among the multiple covers. For example, if the target component is a horizontal screen style preview component, the target component can display the horizontal cover of the media content; conversely, if the target component is a vertical screen style preview component, the target component can display the vertical cover of the media content.

[0082] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support high-quality cover presentation in different scenarios, thereby avoiding the problem of low cover quality presented by simple cropping or padding.

[0083] Based on the process described above, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support users in creating covers of various proportions for media content, thereby facilitating the media content to adapt to multi-scene display, thereby improving the display effect of the media content.
