[0023] Example Environment

[0024] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in Figure 1, the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110.

[0025] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports user interface interaction. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application for user interface interaction, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, camera applications, video applications, image applications, or other suitable applications. Target user 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0026] In environment 100 of Figure 1, if application 120 is active, electronic device 110 can display interface 150 for supporting interface interaction through application 120.

[0027] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, handheld computers, portable gaming terminals, VR / AR devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the target user (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0028] Server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. Server 130 may include, for example, computing systems / servers such as mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc. Server 130 can provide backend services for applications 120 that support user interface interaction in electronic devices 110.

[0029] A communication connection can be established between server 130 and electronic device 110. This communication connection can be established via wired or wireless means.

In the embodiments of this disclosure, server 130 and electronic device 110 can achieve signaling interaction through the communication connection between them.

[0030] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0031] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0032] Example Interaction

[0033] The following description of an example interaction process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be made with reference to Figures 2A to 2H. Figures 2A to 2H illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200H according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, which may be provided, for example, by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2A, the electronic device 110 may display a shooting interface 200A, for example. In some embodiments, the shooting interface 200A may be provided by an application 120 mounted on the electronic device 110. For example, the electronic device 110 may present the shooting interface 200A as shown in Figure 2A based on a shooting request from a user 140.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2A, the interface 200A may include a shooting control 210 and a viewfinder component 220. The viewfinder component 220 can display a real-time image captured by the camera mounted on the electronic device 110.

[0036] In some instances, electronic device 110 can capture an image based on a user's triggering of the shooting control 210 (e.g., a tap or long press). For example, upon receiving a tap on the shooting control 210, electronic device 110 can capture an image displayed in the viewfinder component 220 (also referred to as a first image). In some embodiments, the image captured by the electronic device may include a single picture or a video clip. In some embodiments, the electronic device may store the first image displayed in the viewfinder component 220.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2B, the electronic device 110 may, for example, display an element 230 corresponding to the captured first image in area 231 of the viewfinder component 220. As an example, such an element 230 may include, for example, a thumbnail of the captured image or video.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can move the element 230 to a preset area 232 in the interface 200B. As shown in FIG2C, after the first image is captured, the electronic device 110 can display the element 230 corresponding to the first image in the area 232, for example, a thumbnail of the first image.

[0039] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can maintain the display of the real-time captured image in the shooting area 220 and support the user to continue shooting by triggering the shooting control 210.

[0040] For example, as shown in FIG2D, the electronic device 110 can receive a user's trigger on the shooting control 210 to capture a second image displayed in the viewfinder component 220. Such a second image can be, for example, a single photograph or a video clip. In some embodiments, the electronic device can store the captured second image displayed in the viewfinder component 220.

[0041] Similarly, after the second image is captured, the electronic device 110 can display the element 240 corresponding to the second image in area 232. As an example, element 240 may be a thumbnail of the captured second image.

[0042] Similar to element 230, electronic device 110 may first display element 240 in region 231 of viewfinder 220, and then further move element 240 to region 232 for display. During the movement of element 230 or element 240, its size may, for example, adapt.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first element and the second element at least partially overlap. As an example, element 240 may partially obscure element 230.

[0044] In some embodiments, the display style of elements 230 and 240 in region 232 can be determined based on the number of elements displayed in region 232. For example, as the number of images captured in this round increases, the display style of such elements can be changed accordingly, for example, to have greater overlap.

[0045] In this way, embodiments of this disclosure enable users to continuously capture images through a shooting interface, and display multiple images captured in this round through interface elements. Embodiments of this disclosure can embed previews of multiple images within application 120. Compared to only being able to preview one image at a time, and each image preview requiring an interaction between application 120 and the operating system of electronic device 110, this disclosure effectively saves the resources required for interaction between application 120 and the operating system of electronic device 110. Furthermore, when publishing a work based on at least one of multiple images, this disclosure allows simultaneous previewing of all images, accelerating the efficiency of selecting the image needed for publishing the work and further improving the efficiency of work publishing.

[0046] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also present the viewing interface 200E as shown in FIG2E based on a preset operation received in the shooting interface 200D. As an example, the electronic device 110 may present the viewing interface 200E based on the user's selection of a preset area 232 or elements 230 or 240 displayed within the preset area.

[0047] In some embodiments, upon receiving a selection of the viewing entry 260, the electronic device 110 may display a viewing interface 200E as shown in FIG2E. As shown in FIG2E, the electronic device 110 may display multiple images captured using the shooting interface mentioned above (e.g., the shooting interface in burst mode) in the interface 200E. Such multiple images may include the first image and the second image as discussed above.

[0048] In some embodiments, multiple images can be displayed on the electronic device's page according to different display modes. Display formats may include, but are not limited to, a day view mode and a month view mode. In day view mode, the electronic device's page can be divided into multiple areas based on days, with each area displaying historical images taken on a specific day. In month view mode, the electronic device's page can be divided into multiple areas based on months, with each area displaying historical images taken in a specific month. Taking Figure 2E as an example, in day view mode, interface 200E can display areas 271 and 272, with area 271 displaying historical images or videos taken on November 24th using burst mode, and area 272 displaying historical images or videos taken on November 12th using burst mode.

[0049] Taking Figure 2F as an example, in the day view mode, page 200F displays areas 274 and 275. Area 274 displays historical images or videos taken in November, and area 275 displays historical images or videos taken in October.

[0050] In some embodiments, interfaces 200E and 200F may also display switching controls corresponding to display modes to support users in selecting display modes for multiple images. Taking Figures 2E and 2F as examples, interfaces 200E and 200F may display switching controls 273 corresponding to display modes. Users can click the switching controls 273 to switch between display modes for multiple images.

[0051] In some embodiments, multiple images captured in this round (e.g., the first and second images mentioned above) can be displayed in association in a viewing interface. For example, the electronic device 110 can present multiple images captured in this round of continuous shooting with different background colors. Alternatively, the electronic device 110 can also present multiple images captured in rounds of continuous shooting in a separate list.

[0052] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 receives a user's selection of at least one image from a plurality of images displayed on the viewing interface 200E or 200F, and may accordingly publish a work corresponding to at least one image.

[0053] For example, after taking multiple images in this round, the user can select one or more images from the multiple images by viewing interfaces 200E and 200F, and / or one or more images from the historical images taken in burst mode, and enter the work editing interface accordingly. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can publish the corresponding work based on at least one selected image.

[0054] In some other embodiments, upon receiving a selection of entry 260 in the shooting interface 200D as shown in FIG2D, the electronic device 110 may display a viewing interface 200G as shown in FIG2G. This viewing interface 200G may, for example, display images captured using different shooting modes.

[0055] For example, the shooting interfaces 200A to 200D discussed above may correspond to a first shooting mode (e.g., mode 261). In some embodiments, the viewing interface 200G may also display one or more sets of images captured by other shooting modes (e.g., modes 262 and 263).

[0056] In some embodiments, the interface 200H may also provide a publishing control 266 for publishing a work. For example, the electronic device 110 may receive the user's selection of images 264 and 265, and enter the editing or publishing interface of the corresponding work based on the triggering of the control 266.

[0057] Additionally, the electronic device 110 may also provide controls 267 for automatic editing to enable the electronic device to automatically edit works based on images selected by the user.

[0058] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure enable users to select images that meet their requirements for publishing their work after taking a series of photos.

[0059] In some embodiments, the interface 200A may also provide an effect control 250 to support the application of corresponding image effects. As an example, after the user selects the effect control 250, the electronic device can display the page 200G shown in Figure 2G.

[0060] As shown in Figure 2G, the electronic device 110 can display a set of candidate effects in the viewfinder component 220, such as filter effect 251, filter effect 252, filter effect 253, etc., and blank effect 254.

[0061] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can receive the user's selection of a target filter among filter effects 251 to filter effects 253, and apply the target filter to the real-time image captured by the viewfinder component 220.

[0062] Therefore, the embodiments of this disclosure can further facilitate users in applying desired image effects.
