The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The following describes a software environment to which the screen capture method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the screen capture method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the screen capture method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the terminal device can implement the screen capture method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The terminal equipment in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile terminal or a non-mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm top computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited in particular.

The execution main body of the screen capture method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be the terminal device, or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the screen capture method in the terminal device, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes a terminal device as an example to exemplarily explain the screen capture method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

At present, in the process of a user chatting by using social software in a terminal device, when the user needs to share some recently seen information, the user is generally required to trigger the terminal device to return to an application interface of the information just seen, then to trigger screen capture (also called screen capture), and then to select an application to be shared and a contact person to share screen capture pictures (called screen capture sharing for short) through a sharing button after screen capture, so that the purpose of information sharing is achieved.

Yet another solution is: when a user sees an application interface of information, the terminal device is triggered to capture a screen, an obtained screen capture picture (which can be simply referred to as a screen capture) is stored in an album, then the picture enters the album through a sharing button in a session interface (namely a chat interface), and then the picture is selected from the album to be shared.

The existing two screenshot sharing methods have disadvantages. For the first scheme, when the user returns to the application interface of the information to be shared to perform screen capture, and then selects the application to be shared and the contact person to be shared through the sharing button, the operation steps of the user are greatly increased, and meanwhile, the user may perform mistaken selection operation when selecting the contact person to be shared.

For the second scheme, the user needs to firstly store the screenshot in an album of the terminal, then select a picture to share in the album on a conversation interface of the contact person, and then select the screenshot to be shared.

The embodiment of the invention provides a screen capture method and terminal equipment, which can receive first input of a first user on a target session interface; responding to the first input, displaying a target session interface in a first area, and displaying at least one interface thumbnail in a second area (the first area and the second area are different areas on a screen of the first terminal device), wherein each interface thumbnail in the at least one interface thumbnail is used for indicating a target interface of an application program running in a background of the first terminal device; and receiving a second input of the first user to a target interface thumbnail in the at least one interface thumbnail; and responding to the second input, and performing screen capture on the target interface indicated by the target interface thumbnail to obtain a target screen capture picture. According to the scheme, when a user needs screenshot sharing during chatting through social software, the terminal device can be triggered to quickly screenshot the interface of the application which is opened recently and runs in the background on the conversation interface of the current contact person so as to share the screenshot picture with the current contact person, the conversation interface does not need to be switched to the application interface to be screenshot for screenshot at the moment, operation steps of the user are reduced, and therefore convenience of the terminal device in executing screenshot operation in the conversation process can be improved.

Compared with the two screenshot sharing methods, the embodiment of the invention provides a quick screenshot sharing method, which can be used for quickly screenshot on a recently opened application interface running in the background on a session interface and then directly sharing the screenshot to the current contact person, so that screenshot sharing operation steps are reduced.

The screen capture method provided by the embodiment of the invention is exemplarily described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a screen capture method, which may include steps 200 to 203 described below.

Step 200, the first terminal device receives a first input of a first user on a target session interface.

The target session interface may be an interface or a window for performing a session or a chat in a communication application. For ease of understanding, the session interface may be referred to hereinafter as a chat interface, a chat window, a session window, etc., the application may be referred to as an application or APP, and the interface of the application may be referred to as an application interface.

In the embodiment of the present invention, assuming that a first user and a second user perform a conversation through a target conversation interface (for example, the first user sends a message to the second user or receives a message from the second user), if the first user needs to screenshot an interface of an application that is recently opened and running in the background so as to share the interface to the second user, the first user may perform a first input on the target conversation interface at this time, trigger the first terminal device to directly call out the interface of the application that is recently opened and running in the background on the target conversation interface, and then perform screenshot.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be a sliding input of the first user in a specific direction on the target session interface, or may be a click input (for example, a single click input or a double click input) of a specific control (that is, a thumbnail of an interface of an application that is opened recently and is running in the background) on the target session interface by the first user, or may be any other input that meets an actual use requirement, which may be determined specifically according to the actual use requirement, and this embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

For example, the first input may be an input of sliding a double finger from right to left on the target session interface, or an input of sliding a double finger from left to right on the target session interface.

Step 201, the first terminal device responds to the first input, displays a target session interface in the first area, and displays at least one interface thumbnail in the second area, wherein each interface thumbnail of the at least one interface thumbnail is used for indicating a target interface of an application program running in the background of the first terminal device.

The first area and the second area may be different areas on a screen of the first terminal device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal device may call a function window on the target session interface, and the function window may display an interface of an application that is recently opened and runs in the background. Specifically, the first terminal device may display the target session interface and the called function window in different regions (for example, in a split screen display). The following describes, with reference to fig. 3, a specific implementation of the

above steps

200 and 201.

As shown in fig. 3 (a), the first terminal device currently displays the chat window 31 (i.e., the target session interface) in full screen, and when the first user needs to share information of a recently viewed application with a contact (e.g., contact 1) of the current chat window, the first user may slide from right to left (in a direction shown by an arrow in fig. 3 (a)) in the chat window 31 to trigger the first terminal device to call up a thumbnail of an interface of the recently opened application running in the background.

As shown in (b) of fig. 3, the first terminal device may display the chat window 31 and the functional window 32 in a partitioned manner in response to a sliding input of the first user on the chat window 31, where the functional window 32 includes interface thumbnails 33 (e.g., a list of interface thumbnails) of at least one application (e.g., APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, etc.) that has been used recently.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the functional window may be a slidable window. If the first user performs sliding input on the function window, the first terminal device may update the interface thumbnail displayed in the function window. In this manner, the various interface thumbnails can be displayed in sequence through a limited area on the screen. This is illustrated in connection with fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 4 (a), the first terminal device currently displays the chat window 31 and the function window 32 in divided areas, and if the first user performs a sliding input in a direction indicated by an arrow in the drawing, as shown in fig. 4 (b), the first terminal device updates the interface thumbnails displayed in the function window 32, that is, from the interface thumbnails of APP1, APP2, APP3, and APP4 to the interface thumbnails of APP2, APP3, APP4, and APP 5. Therefore, the first user can slide the interface thumbnail list to quickly find the target interface thumbnail.

It should be noted that, under the condition that the first terminal device displays the chat window and the called function window in different regions, if the first user wants to cancel the sharing operation at this time, the first terminal device may be triggered to resume displaying the chat window in a full screen manner by only clicking on the chat window.

Step 202, the first terminal device receives a second input of the first user to a target interface thumbnail in the at least one interface thumbnail.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second input may be a click input (for example, a single-click input or a double-click input) of the first user on the target interface thumbnail, or may be a long-press input (for example, a press input whose press duration is greater than a preset duration) of the first user on the target interface thumbnail, or may be any other input that meets an actual use requirement, which may be determined specifically according to the actual use requirement, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

And step 203, the first terminal device responds to the second input, and performs screen capture on the target interface indicated by the target interface thumbnail to obtain a target screen capture picture.

Optionally, in a possible implementation manner, the target interface may be an interface that is recently run by an application (referred to as a target application) corresponding to the target interface thumbnail. The interface which is operated by the application program recently refers to an interface which is displayed by the terminal equipment when the terminal equipment operates the application program recently.

Optionally, in another possible implementation manner, the target interface may be one interface of N interfaces, where the application corresponding to the target interface thumbnail operates within a preset time period, N may be a preset value and a positive integer, and a specific value of N may be determined according to an actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The preset time period may be 1 hour, or may be 1 day, or may be any other time period meeting the actual use requirement, which may be determined specifically according to the use requirement, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

For example, assuming that the preset time period is 1 hour and N is a preset value of 5, the at least one interface thumbnail may include an interface thumbnail corresponding to each of 5 interfaces that the target application runs within 1 hour before the second input is received, and the target interface is one of the 5 interfaces.

As shown in fig. 5 (a), if the first user clicks the interface thumbnail of the APP5, the first terminal device automatically performs screen capture on the target interface (such as the interface 34 shown in fig. 5 (b)) indicated by the target interface thumbnail, so as to obtain a screen capture picture. Further, the first user can directly share the screen capture picture to the current contact person in the current conversation interface.

The screen capture method provided by the embodiment of the invention can receive the first input of a first user on a target session interface; responding to the first input, displaying a target session interface in a first area, and displaying at least one interface thumbnail in a second area (the first area and the second area are different areas on a screen of the first terminal device), wherein each interface thumbnail in the at least one interface thumbnail is used for indicating a target interface of an application program running in a background of the first terminal device; and receiving a second input of the first user to a target interface thumbnail in the at least one interface thumbnail; and responding to the second input, and performing screen capture on the target interface indicated by the target interface thumbnail to obtain a target screen capture picture. According to the scheme, when the first user needs screenshot sharing during chatting through social software, the terminal device can be triggered to quickly screenshot the interface of the application which is opened recently and runs in the background on the conversation interface of the current contact person so as to share the screenshot picture with the current contact person, the conversation interface does not need to be switched to the application interface to be screenshot for screenshot to be displayed, operation steps of the user are reduced, and therefore convenience of the terminal device in executing screenshot operation in the conversation process can be improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the first terminal device captures the screen of the target interface to obtain the screen capture picture, the screen capture picture is displayed to the first user in a full screen manner for preview, and then the first user may select to perform some operations (e.g., editing operations) on the screen capture picture.

Illustratively, in conjunction with fig. 2, as shown in fig. 6, after step 203 described above, the screen capturing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include steps 204 to 206 described below.

Step 204, the first terminal device displays the target screenshot picture and at least one control, wherein the at least one control comprises at least one of the following items: sending a control, canceling the control and editing the control.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the first terminal device captures the target interface indicated by the target interface thumbnail to obtain the target screenshot picture, the first terminal device can display the target screenshot picture and at least one control for the target screenshot picture, so that the first user can select whether to share the target screenshot picture, edit the target screenshot picture or cancel the sharing.

As shown in fig. 7, the first terminal device currently displays a screenshot 41, and a sending control 42, a canceling control 43, and an editing control 44 for the target screenshot.

Step 205, the first terminal device receives a third input of the first user to the target control, where the target control is one of the at least one control.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third input is a click input (for example, a single click input or a double click input) of the first user to the target control, or may be any other input meeting an actual use requirement, which may be determined specifically according to the actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

And step 206, the first terminal device responds to the third input, and executes the operation corresponding to the target control on the target screen capture picture.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the first user performs the third input on the target control, the first terminal device may execute the operation corresponding to the target control on the target screenshot picture.

Under the condition that the target control is the sending control, the first terminal device can send the target screenshot picture to another terminal device, and screenshot sharing is achieved.

And under the condition that the target control is a cancel control, the first terminal equipment can cancel screenshot sharing.

Under the condition that the target control is an editing control, the first terminal device can start a picture editing function (such as a trimming function, a doodling function and the like), and then the first user can confirm that the editing is completed so as to trigger the first terminal device to send the edited screenshot picture to another terminal device, and screenshot sharing is achieved.

According to the scheme, the first terminal equipment can display the screenshot picture to the first user in a full-screen mode for previewing after the screenshot picture is obtained by capturing the screen of the target interface, and then the first user can select to execute certain operations on the screenshot picture, so that convenience of executing the screenshot operation in a session process of the terminal equipment can be improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, assuming that the target session interface is a session interface between a first user and a second user, the at least one control includes a sending control, and the third input is an input of the sending control by the first user, with reference to fig. 6, as shown in fig. 8, the step 205 and the step 206 may be specifically implemented by the following step 205a and step 206 a.

And step 205a, the first terminal device receives a third input of the first user to the sending control.

And step 206a, the first terminal device responds to the third input and sends the target screen capture picture to a second terminal device, wherein the second terminal device is the terminal device of the second user.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the first terminal device receives the third input of the first user to the sending control, the first terminal device can send the target screenshot picture to the second terminal device, so that the target screenshot picture is shared with the second user.

According to the scheme, the first user can directly capture the screen of the application interface which is opened recently and runs in the background at the conversation interface of the current contact person and then directly share the current contact person without switching from the conversation interface to the application interface to be captured to capture the screen and then share the screen, so that the convenience of executing screen capture and sharing operations in the conversation process of the terminal equipment can be improved.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 8, as shown in fig. 9, before the step 206a, the screen capturing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a step 207 described below. Accordingly, the step 206a can be specifically realized by the step 206b described below.

And step 207, the first terminal device responds to the third input, and displays target prompt information, wherein the target prompt information is used for prompting whether the first user shares the target screenshot picture with the second user.

The target prompt message may include a "confirm" option and a "cancel" option, where the confirm option is used to trigger the confirmation of sharing the target screenshot picture with the second user, and the cancel option is used to trigger the cancellation of sharing the target screenshot picture with the second user.

And step 206b, under the condition that the fourth input of the first user to the target prompt message is received, the first terminal device sends the target screen capture picture to the second terminal device.

The fourth input may be an input for the first user to determine to share the target screenshot picture with the second user. Illustratively, the fourth input is an input (e.g., a click input) to the "ok" option.

As shown in fig. 10 (a), after the first user clicks the sending control 42, as shown in fig. 10 (b), the first terminal device may display a target prompt message 45, where the target prompt message 45 includes a "share the picture with contact 1", "determine" option 46, and "cancel" option 47, and then if the first user clicks the "determine" option 46 (i.e., the fourth input), the first terminal device sends a target screenshot picture to the second terminal device.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the first user clicks the sending control, the first terminal device can firstly prompt the first user whether to share the screenshot picture, and after the first user determines to share, the first terminal device can send the target screenshot picture to the second terminal device, so that the target screenshot picture is shared to the second user. Therefore, mistaken sending can be avoided, and convenience of executing screen capture and sharing operation in the session process of the terminal equipment can be improved.

Optionally, after step 206a in fig. 8 or after step 206b in fig. 9, the screen capturing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include step 208 described below.

And step 208, the first terminal equipment displays the target session interface in a full screen mode.

And a target screenshot picture can be displayed in the target session interface.

After the first user clicks the "ok" option 46 as shown in fig. 11 (a), the first terminal device displays a target conversation interface in full screen, in which the screenshot picture 48 is shared with the second user (for example, contact 1), so as to complete quick screenshot and sharing during the conversation, as shown in fig. 11 (b).

In the embodiment of the invention, after the first terminal device sends the target screen capture picture to the second terminal device, the first terminal device can display the target session interface in a full screen mode, so that the rapid screen capture and sharing in the session process are completed. Therefore, convenience of executing screen capture and sharing operations in the session process of the terminal equipment can be improved.
