Camera Shooting Interface for Sliding Prop Selection and Preview
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shooting methods and apparatuses face inefficiencies in prop screening due to the inability to provide real-time overall preview effects and interference with other function controls, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that display a main shooting control with separate prop control areas on either side, allowing for sliding operations to select and preview prop effects, while maintaining functionality of other controls.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If props are displayed in a list panel, then prop screening is simplified, but the user cannot view the overall preview effect of the prop in real time and prop screening efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a one-dimensional list panel to a two-dimensional grid layout with multiple columns. This dimensional change allows props to be displayed in a more space-efficient manner while maintaining visibility of multiple props simultaneously, thereby improving screening efficiency without sacrificing ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The prop display area is segmented into multiple columns and rows, creating a structured grid layout. This segmentation allows the interface to display more props in a compact space while maintaining clear visual separation and organization, enabling users to view overall preview effects efficiently.
2Quantity of substance
If props are displayed in a lateral slide panel, then more props can be shown, but other function controls in the shooting page cannot be exposed normally
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the prop display functionality with the main shooting page layout by integrating the grid display directly into the page structure. This eliminates the need for separate lateral slide panels while still allowing multiple props to be displayed simultaneously, ensuring that other function controls remain accessible and visible.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using a lateral (horizontal) slide panel, the patent employs a vertical grid layout that utilizes the available screen space more effectively. This dimensional reorganization allows multiple props to be displayed without requiring horizontal scrolling, thereby keeping other controls exposed and accessible.
3Ease of operation
If a prop control occupies the trigger position, then prop selection is simplified, but the main shooting control is displaced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the prop selection functionality from the trigger position and places it in dedicated prop control regions within the grid layout. This separation allows the main shooting control to remain at the trigger position while prop controls are displayed in separate areas, simplifying prop selection without displacing the main control and reducing layout complexity.

AI summary
Provided are a shooting method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The shooting method includes: receiving a prop display operation acting on a shooting page; in response to the prop display operation, displaying a first prop control area and a second prop control area on two sides of the main shooting control separately; when a target slide operation acting on the shooting page is received, controlling multiple shooting controls to move along a sliding direction of the target slide operation, and when the target slide operation ends, using a shooting control located at the trigger position as a target shooting control; and if the target shooting control is a prop control, displaying the preview effect corresponding to the target shooting control in the shooting page, and when a first trigger operation acting on the trigger position is detected, performing shooting by using the target shooting control.
