Camera Mode Selection From Album Thumbnails for Faster Shooting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The inefficiency of switching between photographing modes in an electronic device's camera application from an album application is cumbersome, requiring users to manually exit and reopen applications, reducing overall photographing efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allows users to select a photographing mode directly from a thumbnail interface, displaying mode identifiers and enabling a seamless transition to a photographing preview interface without exiting the album application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user manually exits the album application and opens the camera application to select a photographing mode, then the user can access the camera application, but the operations become cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the album application interface with camera mode selection functionality. When viewing images in the album application, mode identifiers are displayed alongside each image, allowing users to select photographing modes without exiting the album application. This merging of functions eliminates the need to switch between applications, reducing operational steps and time consumption.
2Productivity
If the user manually exits the album application and opens the camera application, then the user can select a photographing mode, but photographing efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The album application is enhanced to serve multiple functions: not only displaying stored images but also providing direct access to camera photographing modes. By integrating mode identifiers and selection capability within the album application, the system allows users to both view images and initiate new photographing sessions in the same interface, improving productivity without adding significant complexity.

AI summary
This application discloses a photographing interface display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a medium. The method includes: receiving a first input performed by a user on a first interface, where the first interface includes at least one thumbnail, and each thumbnail indicates one image; displaying N mode identifiers in response to the first input, where each mode identifier is used to indicate a photographing mode of at least one image, and N is a positive integer; receiving a second input performed by a user on a target mode identifier in the N mode identifiers; and displaying a photographing preview interface of a target photographing mode in response to the second input, where the target photographing mode is a photographing mode indicated by the target mode identifier.
