Moving Photo Frame Editing with Thumbnail-Based Interface Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices require complex operations for a user to edit multiple image frames in a moving photo, necessitating transitions through various interfaces, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device provides a method to edit image frames in a moving photo by displaying thumbnails of N image frames alongside a full-size image, allowing direct transitions between editing interfaces without needing to reset the cover picture, thereby simplifying the editing process and improving interaction efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the electronic device displays an editing interface of a still photo after editing any image frame in the moving photo, then the editing function is provided, but the operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the editing interface with the moving photo interface by displaying thumbnails of multiple image frames within the same interface. This allows users to select different image frames for editing without transitioning to a separate still photo editing interface, thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining editing functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The editing interface is designed to handle multiple image frames from the moving photo within a single interface context. The interface can display thumbnails of N image frames and allow users to edit any of them directly, making the interface universal for editing multiple frames without requiring separate still photo editing modes.
2Productivity
If the user needs to return to the thumbnail display interface to continue editing, then the full-size image can be displayed, but the editing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The interface preliminarily displays thumbnails of multiple image frames in the moving photo before the user selects one for editing. This preliminary display of frame options allows users to quickly navigate between different image frames without needing to return to the thumbnail display interface, reducing time loss and improving editing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary interface element (the thumbnail display within the moving photo interface) that mediates between the full-size image display and the editing function. This intermediary allows users to switch between different image frames for editing without leaving the current interface context, eliminating the need to return to the thumbnail display interface.
3Ease of operation
If the electronic device returns to the editing interface only after full-size image display, then the full-size image can be viewed, but the operation steps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the full-size image display with the thumbnail navigation capability within a single interface. Users can view the full-size image of the currently selected frame while simultaneously accessing thumbnails of other frames, eliminating the need to switch between separate full-size display and editing interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface is designed dynamically to respond to user selections. When a user selects a different image frame from the thumbnails, the full-size image display automatically updates to show the selected frame without requiring a complete interface reset or return to a previous state, making navigation more fluid and fewer steps are required.

AI summary
A method for editing a moving photo and a related apparatus are provided. The method includes: An electronic device displays a first user interface, where the first user interface displays thumbnails of N image frames and a full-size image of a first image frame that are included in a moving photo; the electronic device refreshes the full-size image of the first image frame to display as a full-size image of a second image frame when the electronic device detects an operation of selecting a thumbnail of the second image frame; the electronic device displays a second user interface when the electronic device detects an operation of editing the second image frame by the user, where the second user interface displays a first control; and the electronic device displays the first user interface again when the electronic device detects an operation of tapping the first control by the user.
