It is understood that, in the case where the electronic device automatically fills the image into the M image areas, the electronic device may fill the image into the image area having the front display position among the M image areas first, and then fill the image into the image area having the rear display position.

The electronic device fills in an image region, that is, displays an image on the image region. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to clearly illustrate the relationship between the image area and the image, different descriptions are used at different positions.

The target arrangement template may be a three-square, six-square or nine-square, for example, and of course, may be other templates, which are not limited in particular in the embodiments of the present invention.

It will be appreciated that the target composition is specifically used to indicate the display positions and display sizes of the M image areas.

For example, in the case where the target arrangement template is a three-square, 3 image areas are included in the target arrangement template. At this time, the target layout is used to indicate that the 3 image areas are arranged in display positions arranged sequentially from left to right in a row and three columns on the screen of the electronic apparatus, and the display sizes of the 3 image areas are the same.

For another example, in the case where the target arrangement template is a six-square, 6 image areas are included in the target arrangement template. At this time, the target composition is used to indicate that the 6 image areas are arranged in display positions arranged sequentially from left to right and from top to bottom in two rows and three columns on the screen of the electronic device, and the display sizes of the 6 image areas are the same.

For another example, in the case where the target arrangement template is a nine-square, 9 image areas are included in the target arrangement template. At this time, the target layout is used to indicate that the 9 image areas are arranged in display positions arranged sequentially from left to right and from top to bottom in three rows and three columns on the screen of the electronic device, and the display sizes of the 9 image areas are the same.

It should be noted that, the screen of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be a touch screen, and the touch screen may be configured to receive an input of a user and display, in response to the input, content corresponding to the input to the user. The first input may be a touch screen input, a fingerprint input, a gravity input, a key input, or the like. The touch screen input is input such as a pressing input, a long-press input, a sliding input, a clicking input, a floating input (input of a user near the touch screen) of the touch screen of the electronic device by a user. The fingerprint input is input such as sliding fingerprint, long-press fingerprint, single-click fingerprint, double-click fingerprint and the like of a fingerprint identifier of the electronic equipment by a user. The gravity input is input such as shaking in a specific direction, shaking for a specific number of times, and the like of the electronic equipment by a user. The key input corresponds to a single-click input, a double-click input, a long-press input, a combination key input, and the like of a key such as a power key, a volume key, a Home key, and the like of the electronic device by a user. Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the manner of the first input, and may be any manner that can be implemented. For example, the first input is a drag input of an image on M image areas by a user.

S203, responding to the first input, and editing at least one image in the N first images by the electronic equipment to obtain a target image array.

Alternatively, the electronic device may edit some or all of the N first images.

The images in the target image array are images arranged according to the target arrangement template.

Obviously, the target image array includes the above-mentioned N first images.

S204, the electronic device receives a second input.

In particular, the second input may be an input to the user-triggered communication application to send the target image array.

Optionally, the first editing interface may include a sharing control, which is used to trigger the electronic device to send the target image array through the communication application. The second input may be an input to a sharing control in the first editing interface.

Similarly, the description of the input manner of the second input may refer to the related description of the input manner of the first input in the above embodiment, which is not repeated herein. For example, the second input is a click input to a sharing control in the target editing interface.

S205, the electronic device transmits the target image array in response to the second input.

Specifically, the electronic device may transmit the target image array through a communication application therein.

Optionally, the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include S206 after S205 described above:

s206, the electronic equipment displays the target image array on the sending interface according to the target arrangement template.

The sending interface is used for displaying images to be sent or sent by the electronic equipment.

Thus, the electronic device can intuitively display the images in the sent target image array to the user, such as intuitively displaying the sequence of the images in the target image array according to the image arranged by the target arrangement template.

Optionally, the electronic device may display a plurality of sharing identifiers on the screen in response to the second input, where each sharing identifier is used to indicate an application or a plug-in of an image to be shared. Specifically, after the user inputs the sharing identifier for indicating the communication application in the plurality of sharing identifiers, the electronic device may display a sending interface of the communication application, automatically fill the target image array into the sending interface, and further trigger the communication application to send the target image array by the user.

Alternatively, the second input may include an input by the user that triggers the electronic device to select the communication application (e.g., an input that triggers the electronic device to display a transmission interface of the communication application), and an input that triggers the electronic device to transmit the target image array through the communication application.

The electronic device sends the target image array through the communication application, and the target image array can be sent to the social platform through the communication application or sent to a corresponding communication object (i.e. one or more contacts in the communication application).

For example, as shown in fig. 3 (a), the editing interface of the gallery application displayed by the electronic device includes an image area P1 to an image area P9, that is, the target arrangement template is a nine-square lattice. The images 1 to 9 are displayed in the image areas P1 to P9, respectively. Specifically, the image areas P1 to P9 are arranged in the order of three rows and three columns, the images 1 to 9 are arranged in the image areas P1 to P9 in the order of three rows and three columns, and the sizes (i.e., display sizes) of the image areas P1 to P9 in the image areas P1 to P9 are the same. At this time, the target image array is images 1 to 9 arranged in three rows and three columns. At this time, M, etc. 9.

The images 1 to 9 may be all custom images selected by the user-controlled electronic device, or the images 1 to 9 include custom images selected by a part of the user-controlled electronic device and further include a part of preset filling images. That is, the N first images are all or part of the images 1 to 9.

For example, image 2, image 4, image 5, image 6, and image 8 in images 1-9 may be the above-described N first images, i.e., N is equal to 5. At this time, the first input is the user input of image 2, image 4, image 5, image 6, and image 8.

Specifically, the editing interface shown in fig. 3 (a) further includes a sharing control S1, and after the user inputs the sharing control S1 (denoted as input 1), as shown in fig. 3 (b), the electronic device may display a sending interface of the communication application, where the sending interface includes images 1 to 9 arranged according to three rows and three columns. Specifically, the sending interface further comprises a sending control Y. Subsequently, after the user inputs the transmission control Y (denoted as input 2), the electronic device may transmit images 1 to 9 arranged in the order of three rows and three columns through the communication application at the social platform. At this time, the second input includes input 1 and input 2.

It should be noted that, in the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a first editing interface including M image areas indicated by the target arrangement template may be displayed, where N first images are displayed on N image areas in the M image areas. Subsequently, at least one image of the N first images may be edited by the first input to obtain a target image array. Further, the target image array may be transmitted through the second input. Therefore, under the condition that the user needs to share the images in the target image array, the user does not need to select the images one by one, edit the images in real time and then send the images; and the images in the target image array obtained through editing in the first image editing interface according to the target arrangement template can be taken as a whole, and the images in the target image array can be selected and sent quickly and conveniently. The electronic device can edit the N first images according to the target arrangement template in the first editing interface of the gallery application without editing the N first images through a special third-party editing application, so that a user does not need to open a plurality of applications, and the electronic device can be controlled to edit the N first images quickly and conveniently in the gallery application. In addition, since the electronic device can send the target image array in the gallery application through the communication application, there is no need to control the communication application to call out images one by one from the gallery application to edit and send the images in real time. That is, the user can trigger the electronic device to quickly and conveniently edit and share the image through the integrated operation of the gallery application and the communication application.

Optionally, the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include S207 before S203, and the corresponding S203 may be implemented through S203 a:

s207, the electronic equipment displays K preset filling images on K image areas in the first editing interface.

Wherein, each image area in the K image areas displays a preset filling image, and the preset filling images displayed on different image areas are different.

Specifically, the electronic device may display K preset filler images on K image areas provided in the gallery application.

S203a, the electronic device edits at least one image of the N first images, and edits at least one image of the K preset filling images to obtain a target image array.

Wherein K is a positive integer, and the sum of K and N is M. I.e. N is smaller than M.

By way of example, in connection with fig. 3, the K preset filler images described above may include image 1, image 3, image 7, and image 9, i.e., K, etc. 4.

Optionally, the preset filling image may be user-defined or preset.

For example, the preset fill image may be a blank image or an image including a preset pattern (e.g., a star pattern).

Optionally, the first editing interface may include a "fill" control, which is used to trigger the electronic device to fill the preset fill image in the target arrangement template. Specifically, the "filling" control is used for triggering the electronic device to display one or more different preset filling images in the target editing interface, so that a user can select preset filling images to be filled into the target arrangement template from the one or more different preset filling images.

It can be appreciated that, in the case where the user triggers the electronic device to arrange the images in the target arrangement template, the user may want the arranged images to have a certain interest, for example, the four corners in the nine-square grid are blank images so that the nine Gong Gezhong image presents a cross shape. In addition, in the case that the electronic device arranges the images in the target arrangement template, the number of the images selected by the user in a self-defining manner is small and cannot be enough to the number of the images in the target arrangement template, so that the user needs the electronic device to fill a preset filling image in the idle image area of the target arrangement template, which is not filled with the images, for example, fill a preset filling image in the last idle image area in the target arrangement template.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can provide the preset filling image aiming at the target arrangement template, so that a user does not need to find a specific image (such as a blank image) in a large number of images in the gallery application and then fill the specific image into the image area in the target arrangement template, and the user can quickly and conveniently trigger the electronic equipment to fill the preset filling image into the target arrangement template.

Alternatively, the user may trigger the electronic device to edit the image pattern by applying a single or sheet of image to the gallery. Exemplary, the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes S208 to S211 before S201 above:

s208, the electronic device receives a third input under the condition that P second images are displayed.

Wherein, each image area in the P image areas displays a second image, the second images displayed in different image areas are different, and P is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device can display P second images in the gallery application.

Similarly, for the description of the input manner of the third input, reference may be made to the description related to the input manner of the first input in the above embodiment, which is not repeated in the embodiments of the present invention.

Illustratively, P is equal to 1. In the case where the electronic device displays an image in the gallery application, i.e., displays an image preview interface, the user may make a long press input (i.e., a third input) on one image in the gallery application.

Alternatively, in the event that a user inputs one or more images in the gallery application, the electronic device may display a "delete" control and a "add multiple images to template" control on the screen. The deleting control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to delete the image selected by the electronic equipment. The 'add multiple images to template' control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to display the target editing interface so as to trigger the electronic equipment to edit the images selected by the electronic equipment through a certain arrangement template.

S209, responding to a third input, the electronic device displays at least one arrangement template identifier, wherein one arrangement template identifier is used for indicating one image arrangement template, and one image arrangement template comprises a plurality of image areas.

Specifically, the electronic device may provide a plurality of arrangement templates, such as the above three-square, six-square or nine-square, where at least one of the arrangement template identifiers may be an identifier of the three-square, six-square or nine-square, respectively.

S210, the electronic device receives a fourth input of a target arrangement template identifier in the at least one arrangement template identifier.

Wherein the target arrangement template identification is used for indicating the target arrangement template.

Similarly, for the description of the input manner of the fourth input, reference may be made to the description related to the input manner of the first input in the above embodiment, which is not repeated in the embodiments of the present invention.

Illustratively, the fourth input is an input of the user's identification of the box.

S211, responding to the fourth input, the electronic equipment displays a second editing interface, wherein the second editing interface comprises M image areas pointed by the target arrangement template, and P second images are displayed on P image areas in the second editing interface.

Specifically, the second editing interface and the first editing interface are the same editing interface displayed by the electronic device at different moments, that is, the second editing interface is an editing interface in the gallery application.

The P second images are images in the N first images, and P is a positive integer smaller than or equal to N.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, an add mark may be displayed on an image area that is idle on the target arrangement template in the second editing interface, where the add mark is used to indicate that an image is not displayed on the image area and trigger the electronic device to fill the image for the image area.

For example, as shown in fig. 4 (a), after the user inputs (denoted as input 3) an image 1 in the image preview interface for the image preview interface of the gallery application displayed by the electronic device, the electronic device may display a "delete" control S3 and a "add multiple images to template" control S4 on the image preview interface as shown in fig. 4 (b). After the user inputs "add multiple images to template" control S4 (denoted as input 4), the electronic device may display a template selection interface including "three pane" control S5, "six pane" control S6, "nine pane" control S7, and expansion control S8, as shown in fig. 4 (c). The three-grid control S5, the six-grid control S6 and the nine-grid control S7 are used for indicating a three-grid arrangement template, a six-grid arrangement template and a nine Gong Gepai-grid arrangement template respectively. In addition, the expansion control S8 is used to trigger the electronic device to select other arrangement templates provided by the electronic device, and save some arrangement templates customized by the user. At this time, the fourth input may include input 3 and input 4.

Subsequently, after the user inputs the "nine-box" control S7 shown in fig. 4 (c), as shown in fig. 4 (d), the editing interface displayed by the electronic apparatus includes image areas P1 to P9, the image area P1 includes the image 1 thereon, and the image areas P2 to P9 do not display the image thereon. In this case, the image area P1 is the P areas, the image 1 is the P images, that is, the number of the P image areas is 1.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can provide at least one arrangement template identifier, so that a user inputs the target arrangement template identifier in the at least one arrangement template identifier, and triggers the electronic equipment to start editing N first images according to the target arrangement template in the second editing interface. In addition, the electronic equipment can provide a plurality of arrangement template identifiers, so that the electronic equipment can edit images selected by a user in different arrangement templates, and the diversity of arrangement and image editing of the electronic equipment is improved.

It can be appreciated that after the user triggers the electronic device to start displaying images on the image areas in the target arrangement template, that is, to fill the images on the image areas in the target arrangement template, the user may also trigger the electronic device to add images to the idle image areas in the target arrangement template, so as to select the M first images. Optionally, the image processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include S212 after S211 and before S201, and the corresponding S201 may be implemented by S201 a:

S212, the electronic device receives Q fifth inputs.

Similarly, for the description of the input manner of each fifth input, reference may be made to the description related to the input manner of the first input in the above embodiment, which is not repeated in the embodiments of the present invention.

Illustratively, each of the Q fifth inputs is configured to trigger the electronic device to fill a user-defined image in an idle image area in the second ranking template.

Optionally, in the process of inputting a fifth input by the user, after the user inputs an empty image area in the second arrangement template (e.g., inputs a plus sign in the empty image area) (denoted as input 5), the electronic device may display an image selection list. Subsequently, the user selects an input of an image from the image selection list (denoted as input 6) so that the electronic device determines the image as an image to be filled into the free image area. In particular, the image selection list may be a list of images in a normal display gallery application, such as an image selection list that displays a set of images most recently captured in the gallery application. At this time, one fifth input may include two inputs of the above-described input 5 and input 6.

Wherein the Q image areas are image areas other than the P image areas among the N image areas; the Q third pictures are pictures other than the P second pictures in the N first pictures.

Specifically, one third image is displayed on each of the Q image areas, and the third images displayed on different image areas are different.

For example, in connection with (d) in fig. 4, after the user inputs the plus sign flag in the image area P2 shown in (a) in fig. 5 (i.e., the above-described input 5), the electronic device may display an image selection list including the images 2 to 9 as shown in (b) in fig. 5. Subsequently, after the user inputs the image 2 shown in (b) of fig. 5 (i.e., the above-described input 6), the electronic apparatus may display the image 2 on the image area P2 in the editing interface and display no image on the image areas P3 to P9 as shown in (c) of fig. 5.

Similarly, the description of the electronic device on the filling image in each of the image areas P3 to P9 shown in (c) of fig. 5 may refer to the example of fig. 5, which is not repeated in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, after the user triggers the electronic device to fill the images 2 to 9 in the image areas P3 to P9 shown in (c) of fig. 5, respectively, the electronic device may display an editing interface as shown in (a) of fig. 3.

Wherein one of the functionality controls corresponds to one of the target functionalities.

In addition, the electronic device may display the one or more functionality controls in a one-level menu or display the one or more functionality controls in a multi-level menu. For example, the electronic device may display an expansion control in the upper right corner of the editing interface in the gallery application, the next level of expansion control being one or more functionality controls, i.e., the expansion control is used to expand the one or more functionality controls.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target function is any one of the following: clipping an image, rotating the image, adjusting the image tone, sharpening the image, adjusting the image color temperature, adjusting the image saturation, adjusting the image brightness, adjusting the image contrast, adding an image filter, and filling the image in an idle image area among M image areas indicated by a target arrangement template.

By way of example, the image filter may be a style filter such as a character filter, a landscape filter, a delicacy filter, and the like. In addition, the image filter may further include an image special effect such as displaying a specific pattern such as rainbow, love, apple, etc. in the image display area.

Alternatively, in a case where a partial image in the target arrangement template is selected by the user, the electronic device may perform an operation of target function indication on the partial image, such as adding a filter to the partial image. In the case where all the images in the target arrangement template are selected by the user, the electronic device may perform an operation of target function indication on the all the images, such as adding a filter to the all the images as a whole, such as adding a filter including a rainbow pattern to the all the images as a whole.

For example, referring to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 8, an editing interface displayed by the electronic device includes an editing control K1, a filter control K2, a filling control K3, a sharing control K4, and an expansion control K5. The editing control K1 is used for providing clipping images, rotating images, adjusting image tone, sharpening images, adjusting image color temperature, adjusting image saturation, adjusting image brightness and adjusting image contrast. The filter control K2 is used to provide a filter adding function. The filling control K3 is used for triggering the electronic device to fill a preset filling image in an idle image area in the target arrangement template. The sharing control K4 is used for triggering the electronic device to send the target image array through the communication application.
