The following takes an electronic device as an example to exemplarily describe the camera control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, for an electronic device provided with a sub-screen camera (for example, a first camera in the embodiment of the present invention), when a display effect of a region on a screen of the electronic device corresponding to a position of the sub-screen camera is poor, for example, the screen is worn or broken, if a user needs to take an image through the first camera, the user may first trigger the electronic device through an input to control the first camera to move from the position of the first camera to another position (for example, a certain position below the screen corresponding to the unworn or unbroken region on the screen) so that the electronic device may normally take the image, and thus, quality of the image taken by the first camera may be ensured, and a taking effect of the first camera may be ensured.

The following describes an exemplary camera control method according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a camera control method, which may include S201 to S202 described below.

S201, the electronic equipment receives a first input of a user for the electronic equipment.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be an input of a user on a screen of the electronic device. Specifically, the first input may be a dragging input of a target identifier (used to indicate a position of the first camera below the screen) displayed on the screen by the user; alternatively, the first input may be a user click input on the screen; alternatively, the first input may be a visual input of the user's eye on the screen. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

S202, the electronic equipment responds to the first input, the position of the first camera below the screen is updated, and the display position of the target mark on the screen is updated.

It can be understood that the first camera is located below a screen of the electronic device, that is, the first camera is an off-screen camera in the electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may further include a second camera, where the second camera may be a fixed camera and may not move, or the second camera may only move outside the housing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to indicate the position of the first camera below the screen, the electronic device may display a target identifier on the screen, that is, the target identifier may be used to indicate the position of the first camera below the screen of the electronic device.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, the interface diagram is an interface diagram of a target identifier (shown as 31 in fig. 3) displayed on a screen of an electronic device, wherein a first camera may be located at a position below the screen corresponding to an area shown by the target identifier 31.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the electronic device receives the first input of the user, the electronic device can respond to the first input, update the position of the first camera below the screen, and update the display position of the target identifier on the screen. Specifically, after the electronic device receives a first input of a user, the electronic device may control the first camera to move, so that a position of the first camera below the screen changes, and control the target identifier to move, so that a position of the target identifier on the screen changes.

In the embodiment of the invention, the user can directly trigger the electronic equipment through one input to control the first camera to move from the position of the first camera to other positions (for example, a certain position below the screen corresponding to an unworn or unbroken area on the screen) so that the electronic equipment can normally shoot images, the quality of the images shot by the first camera can be ensured, and the shooting effect of the first camera can be further ensured.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 4, when the first input is a drag input of a target identifier displayed on a screen by a user, the S202 may be specifically implemented by the following S202 a.

S202a, the electronic equipment responds to the dragging input, controls the first camera to move below the screen according to the input track of the dragging input, controls the target mark to move on the screen according to the input track of the dragging input.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the electronic equipment receives the dragging input of the target identifier displayed on the screen of the electronic equipment by the user, the electronic equipment responds to the dragging input, can control the first camera to move below the screen of the electronic equipment according to the input track of the dragging input, and controls the target identifier to move on the screen of the electronic equipment according to the input track of the dragging input. Specifically, the electronic device may control the first camera to move from the initial position of the first camera to a position below a position where the drag input ends according to the input trajectory of the drag input, and control the target identifier to move from the start position of the target identifier (i.e., a display position of the target identifier on the screen before the first input is performed) to the position where the drag input ends according to the input trajectory of the drag input, and fix the display target identifier at the position where the drag input ends.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the dragging input may be a dragging input along any direction, for example, dragging along an "up" direction, dragging along a "down" direction, dragging along a "left" direction, or dragging along a "right" direction, and a dragging track of the dragging input may be a straight line or a curved line, and may be determined specifically according to an actual use requirement, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that directions such as "up," "down," "left," and "right" in the embodiment of the present invention are described by taking an example of user input on a screen when the screen of the electronic device faces a user. That is, the directions "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the embodiment of the present invention are relative to the user when the screen of the electronic device faces the user. It is understood that the directions "up", "down", "left" and "right" are exemplary and not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. In actual implementation, any other possible directions may also be used, which may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

The above-mentioned S202a is exemplarily described below with reference to fig. 5.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5 (a), an interface diagram of an object identifier displayed on a screen of an electronic device is shown. Assume that the user drags the target identification "down" on the screen of the electronic device. When a user needs to take an image through the first camera, the user may perform a drag input on the target identifier displayed on the screen of the electronic device (e.g., drag from a position shown as 51 in (b) of fig. 5 to a position shown as 52 in (b) of fig. 5, i.e., an arrow direction shown as (b) of fig. 5), that is, the electronic device receives the drag input of the user, and then the electronic device may control the first camera to move from a position below the screen corresponding to the position shown as 51 to a position below the screen corresponding to the position shown as 52 and control the target identifier to move from the position shown as 51 to the position shown as 52 according to an input trajectory of the drag input in response to the drag input, as shown as (b) of fig. 5. It can be understood that, in the process of dragging the target identifier by the user, the electronic device can update the position of the first camera below the screen in real time according to the dragging track of the target identifier dragged by the user. For example, as shown in fig. 5 (b), the electronic device may control the first camera to move from the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown by 51 to the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown by 53, and then move from the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown by 53 to the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown by 52 according to the dragging track of the dragging target identifier of the user.

In the embodiment of the invention, the user can directly trigger the electronic equipment to control the first camera to move from one position below the screen to another position below the screen by dragging the target identifier, so that the electronic equipment can be conveniently and quickly triggered to update the position of the first camera.

Further, the target mark can indicate the position of the first camera below the screen, and when the position of the first camera below the screen changes, the display position of the target mark on the screen can also correspondingly change, so that the position of the first camera below the screen can be accurately indicated by the target mark in real time, and a user can conveniently know the position of the first camera below the screen at any time.

Furthermore, when the first camera is located below the worn or broken screen of the electronic device, the user can directly trigger the screen of the electronic device to control the camera to move from the position where the camera is located to other positions (for example, a certain position below the screen corresponding to an unworn or unbroken area on the screen) by dragging the target identifier, so that the electronic device can normally shoot images, the quality of the images shot by the first camera can be ensured, and the shooting effect of the first camera can be ensured.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 6, in a case that the first input is a click input of a user on a screen, the S202 may be specifically implemented by the following S202 b.

S202b, the electronic equipment responds to the click input, the position of the first camera below the screen is updated to be a first position, and the display position of the target mark on the screen is updated to be the input position of the click input.

The first position may correspond to an input position of a click input.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the correspondence between the first position and the input position of the click input may be understood as: the first position may be located below a screen of an input position of the click input. Specifically, the first position may be located right below the screen of the input position of the click input.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the click input may be a single click input, a double click input, or an input of clicking a preset number of times on a screen of the electronic device by a user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the preset number may be a preset number in the electronic device, and the preset number may be preset in the electronic device by a manufacturer of the electronic device. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the electronic equipment receives the click input of the user on the screen of the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment responds to the click input, and according to the input position of the click input, the position of the first camera below the screen is updated to be the first position, and the display position of the target identifier on the screen is updated to be the input position of the click input. Specifically, the electronic device may control the first camera to move from an initial position to a position below the screen of the input position of the click input, control the target identifier to move from the initial position of the target identifier (i.e., the display position of the target identifier on the screen before the first input is performed) to a position where the click input ends, and fixedly display the target identifier at the position where the input ends.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user may perform click input at any position on the screen of the electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device receives the click input of the user on the screen of the electronic device, the electronic device may control the first camera to move along any direction, and it is only required to ensure that the electronic device controls the first camera to move below the input position of the click input.

The above-mentioned S202b is exemplarily described below with reference to fig. 7.

Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of fig. 7, the interface diagram is an interface diagram of a screen of an electronic device. Assume that the first camera is located at a position below the screen corresponding to the position indicated by 71 in fig. 7 (a). When the user needs to take an image through the first camera at a position below the screen corresponding to the position shown by 72 in fig. 7 (b), the user may perform a click input at the position shown by 72 in fig. 7 (b), that is, the electronic device receives the click input of the user, and then the electronic device may control the first camera to move from the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown by 71 to the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown by 72 and control the target identifier to move from the position shown by 71 to the position shown by 72 in response to the click input, as shown by (b) in fig. 7.

In the embodiment of the invention, the user can directly trigger the electronic equipment to control the first camera to move from one position below the screen to another position below the screen by clicking a certain position of the screen of the electronic equipment, so that the electronic equipment can be conveniently and quickly triggered to update the position of the first camera.

Further, when the first camera is located below the worn or broken screen of the electronic device, the user can directly trigger the electronic device to control the camera to move to the certain position from the position where the camera is located by clicking the certain position on the screen of the electronic device (for example, the certain position below the screen corresponding to the unworn or unbroken area on the screen) so that the electronic device can normally shoot images, the quality of the images shot by the first camera can be guaranteed, and the shooting effect of the first camera can be further guaranteed.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8 in combination with fig. 2, in the case that the first input is a visual input of an eyeball of the user on the screen, the step S202 may be specifically implemented by the step S202c described below.

S202c, the electronic equipment responds to the visual input, the position of the first camera below the screen is updated to be a second position, and the display position of the target mark on the screen is updated to be the position of the fixation point of the eyeballs of the user on the screen.

Wherein the second position may correspond to a position of the point of regard.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the correspondence between the second position and the position of the gaze point may be understood as: the second location may be below the screen at a location of the gaze point of the user's eye on the screen. Specifically, the second position may be located directly below the screen at the position of the gaze point of the user's eyes on the screen.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the electronic device receives the visual input of the eyeball of the user on the screen of the electronic device, the electronic device responds to the visual input, and according to the position of the gaze point of the eyeball of the user on the screen, the position of the first camera below the screen is updated to be the first position, and the display position of the target identifier on the screen is updated to be the position of the gaze point on the screen of the eyeball of the user. Specifically, the electronic device may control the first camera to move from an initial position of the first camera to a position below a position where the visual input ends, and control the target identifier to move from the initial position of the target identifier (i.e., a display position of the target identifier on the screen before the first input is performed) to the position where the visual input ends, and fixedly display the target identifier at the position where the input ends.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the visual input of the eyeball of the user on the screen of the electronic device (i.e. the visual input of the user on the screen of the electronic device) may specifically be: the position of the user's eyes relative to the screen changes. In one possible implementation, the user's eyes move from other locations (e.g., areas outside the screen of the electronic device) to the screen of the electronic device, i.e., the user's eyes ' gaze point moves from other locations to the screen of the electronic device. In another possible implementation, the user's eyes move from one position to another on the screen, i.e. the user's eye's gaze point moves from one position to another on the screen.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may acquire the relative position of the eyeball of the user on the screen through an eyeball tracking technology. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps. The electronic equipment can trigger the first camera to acquire the movement information (such as the direction) of the eyeballs of the user, the characteristic points of the eyeballs and the characteristic points around the eyeballs to track the eyeballs so as to acquire the relative positions of the eyeballs of the user on the screen; alternatively, the electronic device may project light beams such as infrared rays to the iris of the eyeball, and then the iris of the eyeball may reflect the light to the electronic device, so that the electronic device may extract the feature points to track the eyeball to acquire the relative position of the eyeball of the user on the screen.

Next, the above-mentioned S202c will be exemplarily described with reference to fig. 9.

Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of fig. 9, it is an interface schematic diagram of a screen of an electronic device. Assume that the first camera is located at a position below the screen corresponding to the position indicated by 91 in (a) in fig. 9. In one possible implementation manner, when the eyeball of the user moves to the position shown as 92 in (b) in fig. 9 (i.e. the gaze point of the eyeball moves from the area outside the screen to the position shown as 92), that is, the electronic device receives the visual input of the user, the electronic device responds to the visual input, and as shown in (b) in fig. 9, the electronic device may control the first camera to move from the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown as 91 to the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown as 92, and control the target identifier to move from the position shown as 91 to the position shown as 92. In another possible implementation manner, when the eyeball of the user moves from the position shown by 92 to the position shown by 93 in (c) in fig. 9 (i.e. the gaze point of the eyeball moves from the position shown by 92 to the position shown by 93), that is, the electronic device receives the visual input of the user, the electronic device may control the first camera to move from the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown by 92 to the position below the screen corresponding to the position shown by 93 and control the target identifier to move from the position shown by 92 to the position shown by 93 in response to the visual input, as shown by (c) in fig. 9.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can directly acquire the position change of the eyeball of the user relative to the screen through the eyeball tracking technology to control the first camera to move, so that the situation that the user manually triggers the electronic equipment to control the first camera to move can be avoided, and the position of the first camera can be conveniently and quickly updated.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent an operation triggered by a user by mistake, the electronic device may control the first camera to move only when the first camera of the electronic device is in the position adjustable state, that is, the electronic device may respond to a first input of the user for the first camera only when the first camera of the electronic device is in the position adjustable state. Before the electronic device receives a first input of a user for a first camera of the electronic device, the electronic device may further receive a second input of the user, where the second input may be used to control the first camera to be in a position adjustable state.

For example, in conjunction with fig. 2, as shown in fig. 10, in the embodiment of the present invention, before S201, the following S203-S204 may be further included in the embodiment of the present invention.

S203, the electronic equipment receives a second input of the user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second input may be an input of a user on a screen of the electronic device. The second input may specifically be any possible form of input, such as a click input, a drag input, or a re-press input, of the user on the screen of the electronic device. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

And S204, the electronic equipment responds to the second input and controls the first camera to be in a position adjustable state.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the electronic equipment receives the second input of the user, the electronic equipment responds to the second input and can control the first camera to be in the position adjustable state.

It should be noted that, after the first camera is in the position adjustable state, if the electronic device receives an input (for example, a first input) that a user triggers the first camera to move, the electronic device may control the first camera to move in response to the input. When the first camera is not in the position-adjustable state, even if the electronic device receives an input that a user triggers the first camera to move, the electronic device cannot respond to the input, that is, the electronic device cannot control the first camera to move.

In the embodiment of the invention, the user can trigger the electronic equipment to move the first camera only when the first camera is in the position adjusting state, namely, the user can not trigger the electronic equipment to move the first camera when the first camera is not in the position adjusting state, so that the electronic equipment can be prevented from executing unnecessary operations due to false triggering of the user, and the power consumption of the electronic equipment can be further saved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device controls the first camera to be in the position adjustable state, the user may trigger the electronic device to control the first camera to exit the position adjustable state through an input (for example, a third input described below).

For example, in conjunction with fig. 10, as shown in fig. 11, in the embodiment of the present invention, after S204, S205-S206 described below may be further included in the embodiment of the present invention.

And S205, the electronic equipment receives a third input of the user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the third input may be an input of a user on a screen of the electronic device, or an input of the user to the electronic device. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in a case that the third input is an input of a user on a screen of the electronic device, the first input may specifically be any possible form of input, such as a click input, a drag input, or a re-press input, of the user on the screen of the electronic device. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the third input is an input of the electronic device by the user, the first input may specifically be any possible form of input such as a user shaking the electronic device. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

S206, the electronic equipment responds to the third input and controls the first camera to exit from the position adjustable state.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the electronic device receives the third input of the user, the electronic device responds to the third input and can control the first camera to exit from the position adjustable state.

It can be understood that after the electronic device controls the first camera to exit from the position adjustable state, the electronic device cannot control the first camera to move, that is, the electronic device cannot update the position of the first camera below the screen.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the execution sequence of S205-S206 and S201-S202 may not be limited. Specifically, under the condition that the first camera is in the position adjustable state, if the user does not need to shoot an image, that is, the user does not need to trigger the electronic device to update the position of the first camera below the screen, the electronic device may execute S205 and S206, and exit from the position adjustable state; if the user needs to take the image, the electronic device may first perform S201-S202, and after the electronic device finishes updating the position of the first camera on the screen, the electronic device may then perform S205-S206, and exit from the position adjustable state. Fig. 11 in the embodiment of the present invention is an exemplary illustration of an electronic device performing S201 to S202 first and then performing S205 to S206 later.

In the embodiment of the invention, even if the electronic equipment receives the input that the user triggers the first camera to move, the electronic equipment cannot control the first camera to move under the condition that the first camera is not in the position adjustable state, so that the electronic equipment can be prevented from executing unnecessary operations due to the false triggering of the user, and the power consumption of the electronic equipment can be further saved.

In the embodiment of the invention, because the user can control the first camera to be in the position adjustable state through one input and can control the camera to exit the position adjustable state through another input, the electronic equipment can flexibly control the first camera to switch back and forth between the position adjustable state and the non-position adjustable state.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the camera control shown in the above method drawings is exemplarily described by referring to one drawing in the embodiment of the present invention. In specific implementation, the camera control method shown in each method drawing can also be implemented by combining any other drawing which can be combined and is illustrated in the above embodiments, and details are not described here.
