Although the LTE system is described as an example, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the LTE system, but may also be applied to other wireless communication systems, such as GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and future new network systems. Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication network system, the present invention provides various embodiments of the method.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a photographing function, and fig. 3A is a schematic flow chart illustrating an implementation of the method for controlling the photographing function according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3A, the method includes the following steps:

step S301, when a flexible screen of the terminal generates a first deformation, acquiring a first deformation parameter corresponding to the first deformation.

Here, the first deformation of the flexible screen may be bending the flexible screen to the front side of the flexible screen or bending the flexible screen to the back side of the flexible screen; the first deformation parameter includes at least one of the following parameters: the curvature of the first deformation, the radius of the first deformation, etc. The flexible screen is typically thin and may be mounted on a flexible material such as plastic or metal foil. Instead of glass, plastic would make the display more durable and lighter. The flexible screen panel is concave from top to bottom with a bend radius of up to 700 mm. The flexible screen adopts a plastic substrate instead of a common glass substrate, and a protective film is adhered to the back surface of the panel by means of a thin film packaging technology, so that the panel can be bent and is not easy to break. The flexible screen can be rolled but cannot be folded, future products can be folded, and the appearance can be changed more. The display screen is cut from the panel. Flexible screens are also known as bendable display screens, with the ultimate goal of allowing mobile and wearable terminals to change their faces. In addition, the flexible screen has at least the following three advantages:

first, the flexible screen displays superior results. The flexible screen has self-luminous property, does not need a backlight source, has incomparable advantages in the aspects of contrast and brightness, does not have the problems of visual angle and response time, and can easily realize true color high-resolution display; and the flexible screen only can be electrified as the unit that needs to be lighted, so the flexible screen has higher brightness than liquid crystal, larger contrast and richer colors, and meanwhile, because a large number of lamp tubes are not needed as backlight sources, the flexible screen has lower voltage and is more energy-saving, and compared with a liquid crystal television with the same size, the flexible screen can save 40% of electric energy.

Secondly, the flexible screen is of a solid structure without liquid substances, so that the shock resistance is better and the screen is resistant to falling; the response time of the flexible screen is one thousandth of that of the liquid crystal display television, no trailing phenomenon exists when a high-speed moving picture is displayed, and the picture is free of distortion when the picture is watched under a large visual angle.

And thirdly, the flexible screen realizes the soft screen of the terminal equipment. Since the core layer of the flexible device is thin, even less than 1mm, and can assume a variety of curved shapes, it can be produced on different materials, such as plastics, resins, etc. A soft screen can be achieved if the organic layer is evaporated or coated on a plastic based substrate. The manufacture of foldable TV and computer is possible. It is anticipated that in the near future, televisions may be hung on a wall as a piece of paper, folded up as a cloth when not in use, and carried at will.

Step S302, if the first deformation parameter meets a first preset condition, a shooting instruction is generated.

Here, the first deformation parameter includes at least one of the following parameters: a curvature of the first deformation, a radius of the first deformation; the shooting instruction is used for controlling a camera of the terminal to shoot; and the shooting instruction is used for controlling a camera of the terminal to shoot. The first deformation parameter meeting a first preset condition comprises the following steps:

if the first deformation parameter is the curvature of the first deformation, the first preset condition is a preset curvature threshold value;

if the curvature (first deformation parameter) of the first deformation is larger than or equal to a preset curvature threshold (first preset condition), determining that the first deformation parameter meets the first preset condition; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

if the first deformation parameter is the radius of the first deformation, the first preset condition is a preset radius threshold value;

and if the radius (first deformation parameter) of the first deformation is larger than or equal to a preset radius threshold (first preset condition), determining that the first deformation parameter meets the first preset condition. That is to say, when the deformation amount of buckling the flexible screen reaches the preset condition, the shooting instruction can be generated, so that the phenomenon that the user touches by mistake to cause the deformation of the flexible screen and generate the unnecessary shooting instruction is avoided.

If the first deformation parameter does not meet the first preset condition, generating a stop instruction; the stop instruction is used for controlling the camera to stop shooting. That is, if the curvature (first deformation parameter) of the first deformation is smaller than a preset curvature threshold (first preset condition), generating a stop instruction, and controlling the camera to stop shooting; or if the radius (first deformation parameter) of the first deformation is smaller than a preset radius threshold (first preset condition), generating a stop instruction, and controlling the camera to stop shooting.

The curvature of the first deformation is the rotation rate of a tangent direction angle of a certain point on the curvature of the curve of the first deformation to an arc length, and is defined by differentiation, and the larger the curvature of the first deformation is, the larger the bending degree of the flexible screen is.

And step S303, sending the shooting instruction to a camera of the terminal.

Here, the sending of the shooting instruction to the camera of the terminal may be understood as that the processor of the terminal sends the shooting instruction to the processor of the camera, and then the processor of the camera controls the camera of the terminal to start shooting a picture; the sending of the shooting instruction to the camera of the terminal can be understood as: and the processor of the terminal sends the shooting instruction to the camera to control the camera to shoot. The camera can be present in a terminal comprising a flexible screen, and the terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a palm computer, a game machine and other devices with the flexible screen. In addition, the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention can also be applied to single camera equipment with a flexible screen.

For a better understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, the principle of the flexible screen display and the related art of the flexible screen display will be described herein.

The display principle of the flexible screen is simply that a display device is manufactured on a flexible plastic or metal film by using a flexible Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), the OLED has a basic structure including a flexible substrate, an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) anode, an Organic functional layer and a metal cathode, and the Light-Emitting mechanism of the flexible screen is similar to that of an OLED with a common glass substrate. OLED devices are typically constructed of a transparent anode, a metal cathode, and two or more organic layers sandwiched between them on a glass or polymer substrate. When a forward voltage is applied to the device, under the action of an external electric field, holes and electrons are respectively injected into the organic small molecular layer and the organic high molecular layer from the positive electrode and the negative electrode, carriers with opposite charges migrate in the small molecular layer and the organic high molecular layer and are combined in the light emitting layer to form excitons, the excitons transmit energy to light emitting molecules to excite the electrons to an excited state, and the excited state energy is inactivated through radiation to generate photons to form light emission, so that the flexible screen formed by the OLED displays.

The key technologies for realizing the flexible display are as follows: electrowetting Display (EWD), Plasma Tube Array (PTA), electrochromic Display (ECD), etc. Wherein the content of the first and second substances,

1. electrowetting display technology, the principle of which is to control the surface layer of the enclosed liquid with a control voltage, resulting in a change of pixels. When no voltage is applied, a layer of flat film is formed between the colored liquid and the waterproof and insulating outer layer of the electrode, namely a colored pixel point. When voltage is applied between the electrode and the liquid, the tension of the contact surface between the liquid and the outer layer of the electrode is changed, and as a result, the original static state of the liquid is not stable, so that the liquid moves aside, a partially transparent pixel point is formed, and meanwhile, the oil is dyed with a color, thereby displaying images and obtaining various display effects. The display device has the advantages of low power consumption, high brightness, high display speed, little influence of external environment and temperature and the like.

2. The Plasma tube array, the Plasma tube array technique, has the same light emission principle as that of a Plasma Display Panel (PDP), but has many differences in basic configuration and manufacturing method. The plasma tube is a glass tube with the length of 1m and the thickness of about 1mm, and the interior of the glass tube is coated with Red (Red, R), Green (Green, G) and Blue (Blue, B) phosphorescent materials, a plurality of glass tubes are arranged side by side, and the front and the back of the glass tubes are coated and combined by two electrode films, so that the lattice luminous display is formed. The new type of plasma display has weight of only one tenth, thickness of only about 1mm, power consumption of only one half, and can be bent to directly follow the basic structure of the driving circuit of the plasma display.

3. Electrochromic display technology, electrochromic refers to a phenomenon that optical properties of a material are reversibly changed under the action of an external electric field and current, and the appearance of the material is reversibly changed from a colored state to a transparent state or from one color to another color or colors. The latest development technology of electrochromic is an electrode constructed by using improved porous nano-film, and the electrochromic display technology has the advantages that: the reflective structure device has good contrast, high conversion speed and extremely low power consumption when displaying content for a long time under the condition of illumination, and is compatible with low cost, manufactured by using an additive printing process and wide spectral range.

One or more of the above flexible screen display technologies are used in embodiments of the present invention or other embodiments.

No matter which display mode of the flexible screen is adopted, the terminal can change the shape of the flexible screen terminal to realize the photographing function of the terminal.

In the method for controlling the photographing function provided by the embodiment of the invention, first, when a flexible screen of a terminal generates a first deformation, a first deformation parameter corresponding to the first deformation is obtained; then, if the first deformation parameter meets a first preset condition, generating a shooting instruction; wherein the first deformation parameter at least comprises one of the following parameters: a curvature of the first deformation, a radius of the first deformation; the shooting instruction is used for controlling a camera of the terminal to shoot; and finally, sending the shooting instruction to a camera of the terminal. Therefore, the camera of the flexible screen terminal is controlled to photograph by changing the form of the flexible screen, so that the photographing function of the flexible screen terminal can be completed more flexibly.

In other embodiments, in step S302, if the first deformation parameter satisfies a first preset condition, the generating of the shooting instruction may be implemented by:

step S21, determining an area where the first deformation occurs, to obtain a first area.

Here, the first region may be any region of the flexible screen.

Step S22, if the first area is an included angle area of a first pair of adjacent two side edges of the flexible screen, and the first deformation parameter meets a first preset condition, a shooting instruction is generated.

Here, if the first deformation parameter does not satisfy the first preset condition, a stop instruction is generated; the stop instruction is used for controlling the camera to stop shooting. The included angle area of the first pair of two adjacent sides is the included angle area of any two adjacent sides in the four sides of the flexible screen, as shown in fig. 3B, the included angle area of the first pair of two adjacent sides may have the following four conditions: the included angle area between the side edge a and the side edge b, the included angle area between the side edge a and the side edge d, the included angle area between the side edge b and the side edge c and the included angle area between the side edge c and the side edge d. The first deformation of the first region may be understood as that the included angle region of two adjacent side edges is bent towards the front of the flexible screen or the included angle region of two adjacent side edges is bent towards the back of the flexible screen. If the first area is the included angle area of the first pair of adjacent two sides of the flexible screen, and the first deformation parameter meets a first preset condition, it can be understood that: the curvature of the included angle area of two adjacent side edges of the flexible screen, which is bent towards the front of the flexible screen, is greater than or equal to a preset curvature threshold (the first deformation parameter meets a first preset condition), a shooting instruction is generated, and a camera of the terminal starts shooting; or, the curvature of the included angle area of two adjacent sides of the flexible screen bending to the back of the flexible screen is greater than or equal to a preset curvature threshold (the first deformation parameter meets a first preset condition), a shooting instruction is generated, and a camera of the terminal starts shooting. The included angle area of two adjacent sides of flexible screen is buckled to the flexible screen back or is buckled to the flexible screen front and can be set for according to user's individual custom.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for controlling a photographing function, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an implementation of the method for controlling the photographing function according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the method includes the following steps:

step S401, when an input first operation is detected, displaying attribute information of the camera corresponding to the first operation in a second area of the flexible screen.

Here, the first operation may be a long press, a short press, a double click, a zoom-in or zoom-out operation, for example, the first operation may be a user pressing two adjacent sides of the flexible screen at the same time, or a user double clicking two adjacent sides, for example, pressing side a and side B in fig. 3B at the same time. The second area of the flexible screen may be any one of the sides of the flexible screen, such as side a in fig. 3B, which is different from the first area, and if the second area is side a or B, the first area should be the angle area of sides c and d; alternatively, the second region is either side d or c, then the first region should be the region of the angle between side a and b; the attribute information of the camera comprises the shooting type of the camera and the parameter information of the camera, and the shooting type can be pictures, videos, short videos and the like; the parameter information of the camera may be filter, brightness, saturation, focal length, delayed photography, flash, etc. That is, after pressing the side a and the side B in fig. 3B, the category of the shot and the parameter information of the camera are displayed on the side a, and it is obvious that the attribute information may also be displayed on the side B according to the user's needs.

Step S402, when the input second operation is detected, a modification interface of the attribute information corresponding to the second operation is opened.

Here, the second operation may be that the user clicks or slides the second area where the attribute information is being displayed, for example, if the user clicks brightness in the attribute information displayed in the second area, the user enters an interface for modifying the brightness; in the brightness modification interface, the user can adjust the brightness of the camera during shooting, and obviously, the brightness can also be turned off.

Step S403, if a second deformation occurs in a third area of the flexible screen, obtaining a second deformation parameter corresponding to the second deformation.

Here, the third region is a side different from the second region in step S401. For example, the third area may be a side adjacent to the second area in step S401, for example, two adjacent sides that the user presses long in step S401 are a side a and a side B in fig. 3B, and if the second area is the side a, the third area may be the side B. In addition, if the user double-clicks the side a (second region) in step S401, the third region may be the side B, c, or d in 3B. The second deformation of the third area may be that the third area is bent towards the front side of the flexible screen or bent towards the back side of the flexible screen, and if the third area is the side b, the second deformation of the third area may be that the side b is bent towards the front side of the flexible screen or the side b is bent towards the back side of the flexible screen.

In step S404, if the second deformation parameter satisfies a second preset condition, the attribute information displayed in the second area is modified.

Here, if after step S404, the flexible screen is not deformed, or the deformation parameter corresponding to the deformation does not satisfy the preset condition, step S412 is performed; if the flexible screen deforms and the deformation parameter corresponding to the deformation meets the preset condition, the method goes to step S405;

the second deformation parameter may be the size of an angle at which the third area is bent by the second deformation, or the vertical distance from the bent third area to the flexible screen (if the second deformation is to bend the third area to the front of the flexible screen, the second deformation parameter may be the vertical distance from the bent third area to the front of the flexible screen; if the second deformation is to bend the third area to the back of the flexible screen, the second deformation parameter may be the vertical distance from the bent third area to the back of the flexible screen); accordingly, if the second deformation parameter can be an angle at which the second deformation inflection occurs in the third region, the second preset condition is a preset angle threshold; if the second deformation parameter is the vertical distance from the bent third area to the flexible screen, the two preset conditions are preset distance thresholds. The modifying the attribute information displayed in the second area if the second deformation parameter satisfies a second preset condition may be understood as, in fig. 3B, when the third area is a side B, if the angle of bending the side B is greater than or equal to a preset angle threshold (the second deformation parameter satisfies the second preset condition), then increasing the brightness in the current modified interface; if the angle of the bent side b is smaller than the preset angle threshold (the second deformation parameter does not meet the second preset condition), the brightness in the current modification interface is adjusted to be low.

And step S405, sending the modified attribute information to a camera of the terminal.

Here, after sending the modified attribute information obtained in step S404 to the camera; the user can be according to oneself custom with the back that the flexible screen was buckled to second region and third region, make the camera shoots in the shooting interface of no redundant information.

Step S406, when the flexible screen of the terminal generates a first deformation, a first deformation parameter corresponding to the first deformation is obtained.

Step S407, if the first deformation parameter meets a first preset condition, a shooting instruction is generated.

Here, the first deformation parameter includes at least one of the following parameters: a curvature of the first deformation, a radius of the first deformation; and the shooting instruction is used for controlling a camera of the terminal to shoot.

And step S408, sending the shooting instruction to a camera of the terminal.

Here, in the application scenario of steps S401 to S408, as shown in fig. 9, first, when the user presses the side c and the side d for a long time (the first operation is detected), the attribute information of the camera, such as saturation and brightness, is displayed on the side c (the attribute information of the camera is displayed on the second area of the flexible screen); then, when the user clicks the brightness displayed on the side c (second operation), entering an interface for modifying the brightness value (opening a modification interface of the attribute information corresponding to the second operation); if the user bends the side edge d (the third area has the second deformation), the brightness is modified according to the bending degree, for example, the user bends the side edge d towards the front of the flexible screen, and the brightness value is larger as the bending angle is larger. After the brightness value is modified, if the user bends the included angle area between the side edge a and the side edge b, as shown in fig. 10, and the bending angle or curvature meets the preset condition, the camera can shoot.

In the method for controlling the photographing function provided by the embodiment of the invention, the attribute information of the camera is adjusted by controlling the four side edges of the flexible screen, so that the camera is controlled to photograph, the photographing function of the flexible screen terminal can be more flexibly completed, and the user experience is improved.

In other embodiments, after sending the modified attribute information to the camera of the terminal in step S405, the method further includes the following steps:

step S409, if a sixth deformation occurs in a seventh area of the flexible screen, a sixth deformation parameter corresponding to the sixth deformation is obtained.

Here, the sixth deformation is a deformation in a direction opposite to the first deformation; the sixth deformation parameter includes at least one of the following parameters: a curvature of the sixth deformation of the seventh region and a radius of the sixth deformation of the seventh region. The seventh area is an included angle area between two adjacent side edges of the flexible screen, and can be the same as or different from the first area. The seventh area of the flexible screen is subjected to a sixth deformation, which may be understood as bending the seventh area towards the front of the flexible screen (if the seventh area is the same as the first area, and the first deformation of the first area is bending the first area towards the back of the flexible screen).

And step S410, if the sixth deformation parameter meets a sixth preset condition, generating an exit instruction, and sending the exit instruction to the camera.

The exit instruction is used for controlling the camera to exit the shooting function; the processor of the terminal sends the generated second quit instruction to the processor of the camera, and then the processor of the camera controls the camera to quit shooting; the sixth deformation parameter meeting the sixth preset condition may be understood as that the curvature or radius of the seventh area bend is greater than or equal to a preset curvature threshold or a preset radius threshold.

And when the bending curvature or radius of the seventh area is larger than or equal to a preset curvature threshold or a preset radius threshold, controlling the camera to exit the shooting function. As shown in fig. 3B, the included angle area between the side edge a and the side edge B is bent outwards, and the bending curvature is greater than or equal to the preset curvature threshold, so as to control the camera to exit the shooting function.

In step S504, if the second deformation parameter satisfies a second preset condition, the attribute information displayed in the second area is modified.

In other embodiments, the modified attribute information of the camera is displayed in the second area.

And step S505, sending the modified attribute information to a camera of the terminal.

Here, the camera of the terminal includes a front camera or a rear camera; the camera shoots in a shooting interface without redundant information. And if the camera receives an instruction of self opening, the camera shoots a picture according to the modified attribute information.

Step S506, when a fourth area of the flexible screen generates third deformation, third deformation parameters corresponding to the third deformation are obtained.

Here, the third deformation of the fourth region may be a bending toward the front of the flexible screen or a bending toward the back of the flexible screen; the fourth region may be a middle region of the flexible screen, such as region e in fig. 3B; accordingly, the third deformation parameter may be the angle of the bend, or the arc of the bend.

Step S507, if the third deformation parameter meets a third preset condition, a first opening instruction is generated, and the first opening instruction is sent to the first camera.

Here, the first camera and the second camera are both included in the camera of the terminal; the first starting instruction is used for starting a first camera of the terminal; and the second starting instruction is used for starting a second camera of the terminal. The sending of the first start instruction to the first camera can be understood as that the processor of the terminal sends the first start instruction to the processor of the first camera, and then the processor of the first camera controls to start the first camera; the first opening instruction is used for opening a first camera of the terminal, such as a front camera or a rear camera. And the processor of the terminal sends the first opening instruction to the first camera so as to open the first camera of the terminal, and the first camera opens the first camera when receiving the first opening instruction.

And step S508, if the third deformation parameter does not meet a third preset condition, generating a second opening instruction, and sending the second opening instruction to the second camera.

Here, the second turn-on instruction is used to turn on a second camera of the terminal. If the angle for bending the fourth area to the front face of the flexible screen is larger than or equal to a preset angle threshold value, starting a first camera (a front camera) of the terminal; and then, when the angle of bending the fourth area to the front of the flexible screen is smaller than a preset angle threshold value, or the fourth area is bent to the back of the flexible screen, starting a second camera (a rear camera) of the terminal. Here, the corresponding relationship between the fourth region being bent toward the back of the flexible screen or the fourth region being bent toward the front of the flexible screen and the first camera or the second camera (i.e., the rear camera or the front camera for turning on the terminal) for turning on the terminal may be set according to the habit of the user.

After a camera (a first or second camera) of the terminal is started, when a flexible screen of the terminal generates a first deformation, executing a process shown in fig. 3A, namely acquiring a first deformation parameter corresponding to the first deformation; if the first deformation parameter meets a first preset condition, generating a shooting instruction; and sending the shooting instruction to a camera of the terminal.

The application scenarios from step S501 to step S507 are: as shown in fig. 9, first, when the user presses the side c and the side d for a long time (a first operation is detected), attribute information such as saturation, brightness, and the like of the camera is displayed on the side c (the attribute information of the camera is displayed on the second area of the flexible screen); then, when the user clicks the brightness displayed on the side c (second operation), entering an interface for modifying the brightness value (opening a modification interface of the attribute information corresponding to the second operation); if the user bends the side edge d (the third area has the second deformation), the brightness is modified according to the bending degree, for example, the user bends the side edge d towards the front of the flexible screen, and the brightness value is larger as the bending angle is larger. After the brightness value is modified, if the user bends the middle area of the flexible screen, as shown in fig. 3B, bending an area e of the flexible screen, and when the user bends the area e toward the front of the flexible screen, opening the front camera or the rear camera of the terminal. And after the front camera or the rear camera of the terminal is started, sending the modified parameter information to the started camera.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for controlling a photographing function, fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an implementation of the method for controlling a photographing function according to the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 6, the method includes the following steps:

step S601, when the input first operation is detected, displaying the attribute information of the camera corresponding to the first operation in the second area of the flexible screen.

Step S602, when an input second operation is detected, a modification interface of the attribute information corresponding to the second operation is opened.

Step S603, if a second deformation occurs in a third area of the flexible screen, obtaining a second deformation parameter corresponding to the second deformation.

In step S604, if the second deformation parameter satisfies a second preset condition, the attribute information displayed in the second area is modified.

And step S605, sending the modified attribute information to a camera of the terminal.

Step S606, when the fifth area of the flexible screen generates a fourth deformation, a fourth deformation parameter is obtained.

Here, the fourth deformation is that the fifth region is bent to the back surface of the flexible screen. The fifth area may be the same as the third area in step S603, that is, the fifth area is an area where the camera attribute information is modified. As shown in fig. 3B, if the third area is the side B, the fifth area is also the side B. That is, the side edge a is bent to the back of the flexible screen.

In the steps S607 and S608, in brief, the side for displaying the attribute information and the side for modifying the attribute information are bent toward the back of the flexible screen, and when the deformation parameter satisfies the condition, the two sides will exit the corresponding functions. For example, the side a displaying the attribute information exits the display function, and the side b modifying the attribute information exits the modification function. If the two side edges are bent to the back surface of the flexible screen, a clean shooting interface without redundant information can be provided for a user.

After the brightness value is modified, in order to make the shooting interface clean and tidy, as shown in fig. 10, the user may bend the side edge c and the side edge d to the back of the flexible screen, and when the side edge c and the side edge d are bent to the back of the flexible screen, the side edge c and the side edge d close the functions corresponding to the side edge c and the side edge d.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for controlling a photographing function, and fig. 7 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an implementation of the method for controlling the photographing function according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7, the method includes the following steps:

And step 712, sending the modified attribute information to a camera of the terminal.

An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for controlling a photographing function, which is applied to a terminal, where the terminal at least has a flexible screen and is installed with a camera, fig. 8 is a schematic view of a composition structure of the terminal when the camera is turned on according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8, a user presses (i.e., performs a first operation) a side c (i.e., a second area) and a side d (i.e., a third area) for a long time, the camera of the terminal is turned on, and attribute information of the camera is displayed on the side c, where the attribute information includes a photographing type of the camera and parameter information of the camera. The shooting categories include at least: the camera is used for shooting pictures, videos and short videos. The parameter information at least includes: filters, brightness, saturation, focus, delayed photography, and flash. Due to the limited space, only the brightness and saturation in the parameter information are shown on side c of fig. 8. In fig. 8, side d may be used to set the parameter information displayed on side c.

When the user clicks or slides (i.e., the second operation) the brightness or saturation on side c of fig. 9, an interface for modifying the brightness or saturation will be entered, as shown in fig. 9; in fig. 9, if the user bends the side edge d capable of modifying the parameter information displayed on the side edge c toward the front of the flexible screen, the brightness displayed on the side edge c may be increased; correspondingly, if the user bends the side edge d capable of modifying the parameter information displayed on the side edge c towards the back of the flexible screen, the brightness displayed on the side edge c can be reduced; here, the user can set the correspondence between the bending direction of the side d and the brightness level on the side c according to the habit of the user. For example, the area e in fig. 9 shows the result of brightness adjustment by the user, which may be to increase the brightness value of the camera displayed on the side c when the side d is bent toward the front of the flexible screen, or to increase the brightness on the side c when the side d is bent toward the back of the flexible screen.

When a user completely adjusts the attribute information displayed on the side c by bending the side d, both the side c and the side d can be bent to the back of the flexible screen; when the side edge c and the side edge d are both bent to the back of the flexible screen, the side edge c and the side edge d respectively close the corresponding functions, for example, the side edge c quits the function of displaying the attribute information; side d exits the function of modifying attribute information. Therefore, a clean and tidy shooting interface can be provided for the user, and better experience is brought to the user.

When the shooting is finished, the user can quit the shooting function by bending the included angle area (namely the seventh area of the flexible screen) of the two adjacent side edges. As shown in fig. 10, the user bends the included angle area of the side edge a and the side edge b towards the front of the flexible screen, and the sixth deformation parameter corresponding to the bending meets the preset condition, controls the camera to exit from the shooting function, and displays "exiting from the camera" in the area 11.

In the embodiment of the invention, the four sides of the flexible screen are bent or slid to different degrees, the attribute information of the camera is set, and the camera is further controlled to shoot, so that the flexible screen terminal can flexibly complete a shooting function, and the user experience is improved.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal, fig. 11 is a schematic view of a composition structure of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 11, the terminal 1100 at least includes: a memory 1101, a communication bus 1102, and a processor 1103, wherein:
