Moving Photo Frame Editing With In-Editor Thumbnail Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices require complex operations for a user to switch between editing interfaces when editing multiple frames in a moving photo, leading to poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device displays a user interface with thumbnails of multiple image frames and a full-size image, allowing direct switching between frames without needing to revert to a thumbnail display or full-size image display, and includes controls for quickly returning to the editing interface of the moving photo.
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 user can edit the image frame, but the operations become complex and user experience deteriorates when the user wants to continue editing another image frame
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the still photo editing interface with the moving photo editing interface by embedding thumbnail navigation directly into the editing interface. This allows users to switch between image frames without leaving the editing context, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple separate interfaces (still photo editing interface → thumbnail display interface → full-size image display interface → moving photo editing interface). The thumbnails of all image frames are displayed within the editing interface, enabling direct selection and continuous editing across frames.
2Productivity
If the electronic device requires navigation through thumbnail display interface and full-size image display interface to return to editing interface, then all standard interface functions are available, but the number of operations increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the thumbnail navigation functionality from the separate thumbnail display interface and integrates it directly into the editing interface. This extraction allows the essential navigation function to be available within the editing context without requiring users to enter a different interface mode. The thumbnails are displayed as overlays or side panels within the existing editing interface, providing quick access to frame selection while maintaining all editing capabilities.

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 first image frame is an image frame in the N image frames; 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 from the thumbnails of the N image frames by a user; 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 full-size image of an edited second image frame and 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. In the technical solution provided in this application, a user can efficiently, quickly, continuously edit an image frame in the moving photo in the electronic device.
