The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are some, but not all embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.

In this context "/" means "or" for example, a/B may mean a or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association relationship describing an association object, and means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. "plurality" means two or more than two.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "such as" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g." in an embodiment should not be taken as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete fashion.

The terms first and second and the like in the description and in the claims, are used for distinguishing between different objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order of the objects. For example, the first preset image and the second preset image, etc. are used to distinguish different inputs, not to describe a specific order of preset images.

According to the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first image associated with the target object can be displayed in the first area in the shooting preview picture through the first input of the user on the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture; the display area of the target object in the shooting preview picture comprises the first area. In this way, in the scene that the electronic device displays the shooting preview screen, the user does not need to trigger the electronic device to display more album icons, or need to search and operate a specific album icon (such as an album icon corresponding to the first image) from the more album icons, but rather, the electronic device is controlled to acquire the shooting preview screen including the image of the target object through simpler operation, so that the electronic device can be triggered to display the first image on the shooting preview screen. Thus, the user operation in the process of displaying the image by the electronic equipment is simplified. In addition, the electronic equipment displays the image to be displayed on the shooting preview picture instead of directly displaying the image or displaying the image in a list form, so that the interestingness and the authenticity of the image displayed by the electronic equipment are improved.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a netbook or a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), etc.; the non-mobile electronic device may be a personal computer (personal computer, PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, or the like; the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited.

It should be noted that, in the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the execution body may be an electronic device, or a central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU) of the electronic device, or a control module in the electronic device for executing the image display method. In the embodiment of the invention, an image display method executed by an electronic device is taken as an example, and the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention is described.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device in the above embodiment is an AR device, the electronic device may be an electronic device integrated with AR technology. The AR technology refers to a technology for combining a real scene and a virtual scene. The visual function of the human can be restored by adopting the AR technology, so that the human can experience the sense of combining the real scene and the virtual scene through the AR technology, and further, the human can better experience the sense of being in the scene.

The AR device can comprise a camera, so that the AR device can display and interact with a virtual picture on the basis of the picture shot by the camera. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the AR device may quickly and conveniently acquire and display an image associated with an object by acquiring an image of the object.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be an electronic device with an operating system. The operating system may be an Android operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited specifically.

The software environment to which the image display method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied is described below by taking a possible operating system as an example.

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

The application layer includes various applications (including system applications and third party applications) in the operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of applications, and developers can develop some applications based on the application framework layer while adhering to the development principle of the framework of the applications. Such as application programs, e.g., a system setup application, a system chat application, and a system camera application. And the third party setting application, the third party camera application, the third party chat application and other application programs.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also referred to as system libraries) and an operating system runtime environment. Libraries mainly provide various resources required by the operating system. The operating system runtime environment is used to provide a software environment for the operating system.

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

Taking an operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the image display method may be operated based on the operating system shown in fig. 1. I.e. the processor or the electronic device may implement the image display method provided by the embodiments of the present invention by running the software program in an operating system.

The image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the flowchart of the image display method shown in fig. 2. In which, although the logical order of the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown in a method flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different from that herein. For example, the image display method shown in fig. 2 may include steps 201 to 204:

Step 201, the electronic device receives a first input of a user to capture an image of a target object in a preview screen.

Wherein, in the case where the image of the target object is included in the photographing preview screen displayed by the electronic device, the electronic device acquires an image (a first image as described below) associated with the target object.

It will be appreciated that the image of the target object may be used to identify the target object, i.e. to distinguish the target object from other objects.

For example, the target object provided by the embodiment of the invention can be used for displaying a photo, for example, an entity photo frame (marked as a target photo frame) for displaying the photo, such as an entity photo frame which can be placed on a table or hung on a wall. Of course, entity photographs are typically shown in entity frames.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, in a scene where the electronic device displays the shot preview image, the actual position of the target object, such as the target photo frame, is usually fixed.

In the embodiment of the invention, the preview image in the shot preview picture is an image acquired by the electronic equipment in real time, namely a live-action picture.

It is understood that the preview image in the photographed preview screen may be a moving image, for example, the preview image changes with the movement of the viewfinder of the camera of the electronic device.

When the electronic device displays the shooting preview screen, the electronic device can identify the preview image in the shooting preview screen, such as identifying whether the preview image of the shooting preview screen comprises the image of the target object.

Optionally, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may identify whether the shot preview image includes an image of an object, and if yes, identify whether the image of the object is an image of a target object. That is, it is determined whether an object within the view range of the camera of the current electronic device is a target object, such as whether an entity frame within the current view range is a target frame.

It should be noted that, the user may control the electronic device to collect the image of the target object in advance. Specifically, the user may control the electronic device to analyze the image of the target object acquired in advance, and analyze the image features (such as color features, texture features, shape features, and spatial relationship features) of the image. And, the user may set an image (a first image described below) associated with the target object in advance. Alternatively, the user may preset an image associated with the target object in the electronic device or other electronic devices.

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.

Further, when the preview image acquired by the electronic device in real time includes an image of an actual object, if the image of the object accords with the image of the preset target object, the preview image includes the image of the actual target object. That is, the current actual target object (e.g., the solid photo frame) is within the view of the camera of the electronic device, such as the actual target object is in front of the user.

Wherein, the image of the actual object accords with the image of the preset target object, which means that the two images are identical, for example, the image characteristics of the two images are all identical; or the two images have more identical image features, for example, the similarity of the identical image features in the two images is greater than a certain threshold (for example, 80%).

In response to the first input, the electronic device displays a first image associated with the target object in a first area in the captured preview screen.

The display area of the target object in the shooting preview picture comprises a first area.

It is understood that the first image is an electronic photograph.

Alternatively, the first image may be an image in one album (noted album 1) associated with the target object.

Alternatively, the first image may be the first image in album 1, such as the top-ranked image in album 1.

Alternatively, the images in the album 1 may be ordered in a certain order, for example, according to the storage time, the data amount, the first letter of the name, etc. of the images, and of course, may be ordered according to other information, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the images in the album 1 may be arranged in order of the image storage time from the rear to the front, that is, the images with the rearmost storage time are ranked the foremost.

Optionally, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may use an augmented reality (Augmented Reality, AR) technology to identify an image of an object included in a shot preview screen. And, the electronic device may subsequently display the image on the shot preview screen using AR technology.

Specifically, the electronic device may superimpose the displayed image (e.g., the first image) obtained based on the AR technology on the real screen in the photographing preview interface.

The electronic device may open a camera therein, and aim an AR scanning interface of the camera at a target object in a view-finding range, so as to scan through a camera of the electronic device to obtain an image of the target object, i.e. obtain a three-dimensional image of the target object, i.e. obtain an image of the target object based on AR technology.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may provide an object such as a client, an application program, or a plug-in, so as to support the electronic device to execute the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the electronic device may provide a client that may provide the above-described AR scanning interface to support triggering the electronic device to display a shot preview screen.

The AR technology can simulate and simulate physical information (visual information, sound, taste, touch, etc.) which is difficult to experience in a certain time space range of the real world through scientific technologies such as a computer, and then superimpose the virtual information to obtain virtual information, and apply the virtual information to the real world to be perceived by human senses, so that sense experience exceeding reality is achieved. In short, AR technology enables seamless synthesis of real world information and virtual world information. Specifically, the AR widely uses various technical means such as multimedia, three-dimensional modeling, real-time tracking and registration, intelligent interaction, sensing, and the like, and applies virtual information such as characters, images, three-dimensional models, music, videos, and the like generated by a computer to the real world after simulation, wherein the two kinds of information are mutually complemented, thereby realizing the enhancement of the real world.

Alternatively, the electronic device may superimpose and display the first image on the photographing preview screen, or remove an image of a certain area in the photographing preview screen and display the first image in the area.

The electronic device may adjust a display parameter, such as a display position and a display size, of the first preset image on the preview image, so that the first preset image after the adjustment of the display parameter is displayed as the first image on the preview image. For example, the first image may be displayed in a first area in the display area where the target object is located in the preview image, such as an area of a photo frame for displaying an image to be viewed.

Alternatively, step 202 may be implemented by steps 202 a-202 c:

In step 202a, in response to a first input, the electronic device displays target prompt information on a shooting preview screen when an image of a target object is included in the shooting preview screen displayed by the electronic device.

The target prompt information is used for prompting a user to input authentication information.

Alternatively, the target prompt may include an input box for inputting authentication information, or prompt information prompting the user to input a fingerprint.

Step 202b, the electronic device receives authentication information input by a user.

Optionally, the authentication information may be face information, fingerprint information, or character password information used for authentication, and the form of the authentication information is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention, and may be any realizable form.

Optionally, the user may input the fingerprint identifier in the electronic device, or input characters on the input box in the target prompt information, so as to input authentication information.

For example, the description of the input manner of the authentication input in the embodiment of the present invention may refer to the following description related to the first input, which is not described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 202c, under the condition that authentication information is successfully authenticated, the first electronic device displays a first image associated with the target object in a first area in a shooting preview picture.

Alternatively, the user may preset authentication information associated with the first image, such as preset authentication information associated with the album 1.

When the authentication information input by the user is authenticated, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention can compare whether the authentication information accords with the preset authentication information. If the authentication information input by the user accords with the preset authentication information, the authentication of the authentication information input by the user is successfully performed; otherwise, authentication information input by the user fails to authenticate.

The authentication information input by the user accords with preset authentication information, which means that the two authentication information are identical or similar and are greater than or equal to a certain threshold (such as 80%).

It will be appreciated that if the authentication information entered by the user is successfully authenticated, it is indicated that the current user has the right to browse the first image (i.e. the image in album 1), i.e. the current user has the right. The user with the authority is usually a machine owner user or other preset users.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can authenticate the authentication information input by the user, if authentication is successful, the first image can be acquired, and if authentication fails, the first image can not be acquired, so that the user with failed authentication can be prevented from browsing the first image, namely, the first image is prevented from being revealed to the user without authority, and the safety and pertinence of the displayed image of the electronic equipment are improved.

Optionally, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include step 203 and step 204 after the step 202:

step 203, the electronic device receives a second input from the user.

For example, the first input may be used to trigger the electronic device to update an image displayed on the photographic preview screen, such as updating a first image displayed on the photographic preview screen to another image (e.g., a second image as described below), i.e., updating the photographic preview screen.

Similarly, for the description of the input manner of the second 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.

In response to the second input, the electronic device updates the first image displayed on the capture preview screen to the second image, step 204.

It will be appreciated that the second image is different from the second image.

Similarly, for a detailed description of the electronic device displaying the second image on the shot preview screen, reference may be made to the description related to the first image in the above embodiment, which is not repeated in the embodiments of the present invention.

Wherein the first image and the second image have at least one identical attribute information.

It will be appreciated that users typically desire to view two images having at least one identical attribute information, such as viewing the two images in contrast.

Specifically, the attribute information of the first image may be partially different from the attribute information of the second image.

In addition, the attribute information of the first image may be different from the attribute information of the second image, which is not described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, in the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, because the electronic device does not display a fixed image to the user on the preview image, the image displayed on the shooting preview image can be updated in real time under the triggering of the second input of the user, so that different images are displayed on the shooting preview image by using the AR technology, and therefore, the flexibility and convenience of displaying the image on the shooting preview image by the electronic device are improved.

Optionally, the attribute information of one image includes at least one of: storage position, data volume, name, storage time, shooting geographic position, image type and contained face information.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the storage location of the image refers to a storage path of the image, such as a storage location for indicating a device for storing the image and/or an album for storing the image.

Illustratively, the storage location of the second image is different from the storage location of the first image, which means that the album in which the second image is stored (denoted album 2) is different from the album in which at least one preset image is stored (i.e., album 1 described above), and the second image and the first image are stored in the same device, such as the electronic device or the cloud server described above.

For example, album 1 is stored on a cloud server and album 2 is stored locally on the electronic device; album 1 and album 2 are both stored in the cloud server; album 1 and album 2 are both stored locally on the electronic device; alternatively, album 1 is stored locally on the electronic device and album 2 is stored on the cloud server.

Under the condition that one album is stored in the cloud server, the album is a shared album, and different electronic devices can be supported to acquire and display images in the album. For example, in the case where the album 1 is stored in a cloud server, the album 1 is a shared album, and different electronic devices may be supported to acquire the album 1 and display the first image.

Optionally, the storage location of the second image is the same as the storage location of the first image, i.e. album 2 in which the second image is located is the same as album 1 in which the first image is located.

Optionally, the image types may include scene types, character types, and the like, and of course, the image types provided in the embodiments of the present invention may also include other types, which are not described in detail in the embodiments of the present invention.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first image and the second image are two images with the same name in different storage locations, are two images with the same image type (for example, images with both scene types), are two images with a difference value of data amounts within a certain numerical range, are two images with the same storage time, are two images with the same shooting geographic location, or are two images containing the same face information.

It can be understood that, because the image in the embodiment of the invention can include various attribute information, the electronic device can distinguish different images according to different attribute information and update the display image on the shooting preview picture according to different attribute information, thereby being beneficial to improving the diversity of the display image of the electronic device on the shooting preview picture.

Optionally, in the image processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, step 202 may be implemented by step 202 d:

step 202d, the electronic device displays the first image on the first area according to the target display parameter.

Specifically, in the case where the display position of the image of the target object is changed, the display position of the first image is changed.

The target display parameters are determined according to the display parameters of the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture.

Optionally, the target display parameter includes a target display position and/or a target display size.

Alternatively, the electronic device may determine, in real time, display parameters of the image of the target object in the shooting preview screen, such as a display position, a display size, and the like of the image of the target object in the shooting preview screen. Therefore, the electronic device can determine the display parameters of the first area in the display area where the image of the target object is located according to the display parameters of the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture in real time, wherein the first area is the area for displaying the image (such as a photo) in the target object. Further, the display parameter of the first region is set as the target display parameter of the first image. For example, the electronic device uses the display position of the first region as the target display position of the first image and uses the display size of the first region as the target display size of the first image. Subsequently, the electronic device may superimpose and display the first image on the first area in the photographing preview screen, or remove the image in the first area in the photographing preview screen and then display the first image on the first area.

For example, taking a target object as a target photo frame as an example, the electronic device determines the target display parameters according to the display parameters of the image of the target photo frame in the shooting preview picture as follows:

the electronic equipment determines the display parameters of a first area in a display area where the image of the target photo frame is positioned in the shooting preview picture in real time according to the display parameters of the image of the target photo frame in the shooting preview picture; and the display parameter of the first region is set as the target display parameter of the first image.

The electronic device may determine a frame region of the target photo frame and a region in the frame from the shot preview image, where the region in the frame is the first region for displaying an image.

The image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention is described below by taking the flow of displaying an image by the electronic device shown in fig. 3 as an example.

As shown in fig. 3 (a), the target photo frame M is an entity, and the target photo frame M includes an image N of the entity, where the image N includes a face image Y. As shown in (b) of fig. 3, the electronic device displays a preview interface including a photographing preview screen 31 on a screen, and the photographing preview screen 31 includes an image of a target photo frame M, which is specifically displayed on an area K of the photographing preview screen 31. At this time, in the case where the electronic apparatus determines that the image of the target frame M is included in the photographing preview screen 31, after receiving a click input (i.e., a first input) of the user to the image of the target frame M included in the photographing preview screen 31, the electronic apparatus may acquire images A1 to A3 as shown in (c) of fig. 3, the images A1 to A3 being the images A1 to A3 associated with the target frame M, the images A1 to A3 being sequentially arranged, the image A1 being a first image of the images A1 to A3. Then, the electronic device may determine the region K (i.e., the first region) where the image N in the target frame M is located from the capturing preview screen 31, so as to obtain the display parameters of the region K on the capturing preview screen 31. The electronic device may adjust the image A1 according to the display parameter to display the image A1 on the region K in the photographing preview screen 31, that is, to display the image A1 using the AR technique, as shown in (d) of fig. 3. Here, the image A1 (i.e., the first image) is displayed on the region K in the photographing preview screen 31, and the image A1 may be superimposed on the image N in the photographing preview screen 31.

In fig. 3, (b) and (d) represent the region K by a dotted frame, and the electronic device does not actually display the dotted frame on the screen.

In this way, according to the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the target display parameter can be determined according to the display parameter of the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture, and along with the change of the display parameter of the image of the target object in the shooting preview picture, the target display parameter of the image displayed on the shooting preview picture will also change correspondingly. For example, as the display size or the display position of the image of the target photo frame in the photographing preview screen changes, the first image may be continuously displayed in the first area of the display area where the target photo frame in the photographing preview screen is located. In this way, the interest and authenticity of the displayed image of the electronic device is improved, so that the user can browse the electronic image like browsing the photo in the real photo frame, such as the image in the album comprising the first image.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the second image is any one of the following:

an image obtained according to a second preset image in the at least one preset image and an image obtained according to a third preset image; wherein the storage location of the third preset image is different from the storage location of the at least one preset image.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset image of the target object and the associated image (such as the first image) may be stored in the cloud server. I.e. the storage location of the first image is a cloud server.

Illustratively, step 202 may be implemented by step 201-1:

in response to the first input, the electronic device obtains a first image associated with the target object from the cloud server, step 201-1.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, it may be determined by the electronic device or the cloud server whether the image of the target object is included in the shot preview screen.

For example, in a case where the cloud server determines whether or not an image of a target object is included in the shot preview screen: the electronic device may identify whether the shot preview image includes an image of a certain object, and if yes, send the shot preview image to the cloud server to trigger the cloud server to determine whether the image of the object is an image of a target object, that is, determine whether the shot preview image includes an image of the target object. In the case where the cloud server determines whether the image of the target object is included in the photographing preview screen, an image (e.g., a first image) associated with the target object may be issued to the electronic device.

In this way, since the cloud server stores the image of the target object and the first image associated with the target object, it is possible for one or more electronic devices to acquire shared images such as the first image from the cloud server and display the shared images on the shooting preview screen using AR technology. Thus, the diversity of the electronic device displaying the shared image on the shooting preview screen is improved.

Optionally, the first image is an image associated with an image of the target object and a geographic location of the target object.

Illustratively, the step 202 may include step 202-2 and step 203-4:

step 202-2, the electronic device obtains a first geographic location of the target object.

Under the condition that the displayed shooting preview picture comprises the image of the target object, the electronic device can acquire the geographic position of the electronic device in real time, and the geographic position is taken as the geographic position (such as the first geographic position) of the target object in practice.

Optionally, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention may adopt an AR technology based on instant positioning and map construction (simultaneous localization and mapping, SLAM), and acquire the distance between the target object and the electronic device and the size of the object electronic device by scanning with a camera in the electronic device. At this time, the geographic position of the target object provided by the embodiment of the invention can be determined by the electronic equipment through the SLAM technology.

Step 202-3, the electronic device obtains a first image associated with a first geographic location and a target object.

It can be appreciated that in the embodiment of the present invention, the user may preset the image of the target object, the geographic location of the target object, and the image associated with the target object (such as the first image). Wherein, the image of the target object, the geographic position of the target object and at least one preset image are all provided with an association relation.

Further, the preset image of the target object, the geographic location of the target object, and the image associated with the target object may be stored in the cloud server. At this time, when the electronic device displays the shot preview screen, if the shot preview screen includes an image of the target object and the actual geographic position of the target object is the same as the preset geographic position, the electronic device may acquire an image associated with the image of the target object and the geographic position of the target object.

Step 202-4, the electronic device displays a first image in a first area in the shot preview screen.

It can be thought that, because the electronic device can distinguish the target objects in different geographic positions in the embodiment of the invention, even if the image of the target object cannot distinguish which one of the target objects is currently previewed, the geographic position of the target object can also be used for determining the target object currently previewed. For example, the electronic device may determine an accurate target object, such as the target object being located indoors rather than outdoors, from the image and geographic location of the previewed target object. Therefore, the accuracy of the image displayed on the shooting preview picture by the electronic equipment is improved.

It should be noted that, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to the following three application scenarios. Wherein in application scenario 1, the first input is used to trigger deletion of an image displayed in the form of an image on the currently shot preview screen and update of an image displayed in the form of an image on the shot preview screen. In the application scenario 2, a first input is used to trigger updating of an image displayed in the form of an image on a shot preview screen and saving of the image. In the application scenario 3, the first input is used to trigger updating of an image displayed in the form of an image on the shot preview screen, without triggering deletion or saving of the image.

Optionally, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the application scene 1, where the first storage location of the first image is the same as the second storage location of the second image. Specifically, step 204 may be implemented by step 204 a:

step 204a, the electronic device deletes the first preset image, and updates the first image displayed in the first area to the second image.

Optionally, the execution sequence of "delete first preset image" and "update first image displayed on shooting preview screen to second image" in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited, and may be any order that can be achieved.

For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be an input of the first image by the user, such as a sliding input of the first image from top to bottom.

Optionally, the second image is the next image of the first image in the album (i.e. album 1) where the first image is located, for example, the image A2 is the next image of the preset image A1 in the preset images A1 to A3.

In connection with fig. 3 (d), after the user performs a slide input from top to bottom (denoted as slide input 1, i.e., second input) on the image A1 displayed on the photographing preview screen as shown in fig. 4 (a), the electronic apparatus displays the image A2 on the region K in the photographing preview screen 31, i.e., displays the image A2 on the photographing preview screen using AR technology as shown in fig. 4 (b). The electronic device triggers deletion of the image A1 from the images A1 to A3. After receiving the sliding input 1, the electronic device may determine the region K where the image N in the target photo frame M is located from the shooting preview screen 31, obtain the display parameter of the region K on the shooting preview screen 31, and then adjust the image A2 according to the display parameter, so as to display the image A2 on the shooting preview screen 31 by using the AR technology.

According to the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that a user browses the first image displayed on the electronic equipment in the shooting preview picture by the AR technology, the first image can be triggered to be deleted from the storage position where the first image is located through the first input, for example, the first image is deleted from the cloud server where the first image is stored, so that the human-computer interaction performance in the process of displaying the image by the electronic equipment is further improved.

Optionally, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the application scene 2, where a first storage location of the first image is different from a second storage location of the second image. The second image is an image obtained according to a third preset image, and the method is applied to the application scene 2. Specifically, step 204 may be implemented by step 204 b:

step 204b, the electronic device stores the second image in the first storage location and updates the first image displayed in the first area to the second image.

Alternatively, the second image may be stored in any position in the first storage location, for example, in a position next to the position in which the first image is located, that is, as a next image of the first image. Specifically, the second image may be stored at any position in the album 1, such as a position next to the position of the first image in the album 1.

Alternatively, the execution order of "store the second image in the second storage location" and "update the first image displayed on the photographing preview screen to the second image" in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited, and may be any order that can be achieved.

The second input is, for example, a specific input that can be made to an image displayed on the photographing preview screen, such as a slide input that slides clockwise and the slide trajectory is a circular arc.

Alternatively, the storage location of the album 2 where the second image is located may be local to the electronic device, i.e. the album 2 is an album stored by the electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in a scenario in which the electronic device receives the second input of the user, the electronic device displays, on the photographing preview screen, an icon of an album (such as album 2) including the second image, and after the user inputs the icon, the electronic device may display, on the photographing preview screen, an identifier (such as a thumbnail) of each image in a group of images in the album 2 in a list form. Wherein the identifications of the images include identifications of a second image, such as a thumbnail of the second image. For example, the album 2 may be stored locally to the electronic device, i.e. the second image is stored locally to the electronic device.

For example, the second input (i.e., input 2) may include an input of a user to an icon of an album in which the second image is located, and an input of dragging a thumbnail of the second image to a position in which the first image is located (e.g., a first area of an image of the target object in a display area of a shot preview screen) and then loosening the hand. For example, the first input may include a click input of an icon of an album in which the second image is located by a user, and an input of dragging a thumbnail of the second image to an image of a target photo frame in a photographing preview screen and releasing the hand.

Alternatively, when the user drags the thumbnail of the second image, the electronic device still displays the thumbnail of the second image in a group of thumbnails on the shooting preview screen, i.e., the electronic device may copy and drag the thumbnail of the second image.

Further, when the electronic device displays the thumbnail of each image in the group of images on the shooting preview screen, the user's input of the icon of the album 2 may trigger the electronic device to cancel displaying the thumbnail of the image in the album 2 on the shooting preview screen, but may continuously display the icon of the album 2.

For example, in combination with (d) in fig. 3, as shown in (a) in fig. 5, the electronic device may display an icon 51 of the album 2 on the photographing preview screen 31. After the user inputs the icon 51, as shown in (b) of fig. 5, the electronic device may display a set of thumbnails including the thumbnail of the image C1 and the expansion control 52 on the photographing preview screen 31. After the user drags the thumbnail of the image C1 to the position where the image A1 is located as shown in (C) of fig. 5, the electronic device displays the image C1 on the region K in the photographing preview screen 31 as shown in (d) of fig. 5, that is, realizes the display of the image C1 (i.e., the second image) using the AR technique. And, the electronic device triggers the saving of the image C1 to the storage location of the images A1 to A3 in the album 1 where the image A1 is located, such as between the image A1 and the image A2.

Subsequently, the user's input to the expansion control 52 or the sliding input to the group of thumbnails shown in fig. 5 (b) may trigger the electronic update of the thumbnail displayed on the photographing preview screen.

According to the image display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the second storage position of the second image updated and displayed on the shooting preview picture of the electronic equipment is different from the first storage position of the first image, the second image can be stored in the first storage position through the second input trigger, for example, the second image stored locally in the electronic equipment is stored in the storage position of the cloud server where the first image is located, so that the man-machine interaction performance of the electronic equipment in the process of displaying the image on the shooting preview picture is improved.

Optionally, in the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the second image is an image obtained according to a second preset image, and the method is applied to the application scene 3.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a user performs left sliding input on an image displayed in the form of an image on a currently shot preview screen, and may trigger an electronic device to display a next image of the image in the form of an image on the shot preview screen. The user performs rightward sliding input on the image displayed in the form of the image of the current shooting preview screen, and can trigger the electronic device to display the last image of the image in the form of the image on the shooting preview screen.

For example, when the first input is a left-slide input of the first image, the first input is used for triggering the display of the first preset image in the form of the first image on the shooting preview screen to update the display of the second preset image in the form of the second image on the shooting preview screen.

In connection with fig. 3 (d), after the user makes a slide input to the left (denoted as slide input 3, i.e., second input) to the image A1 as shown in fig. 6 (a), the electronic apparatus displays the image A2 on the region K in the photographing preview screen 31 as shown in fig. 6 (b), i.e., displays the image A2 on the photographing preview screen using the AR technique.

In this way, the electronic device can trigger the electronic device to update and display the image displayed on the shooting preview screen through the second input which is edited simply, such as a sliding input to the left or right on the shooting preview screen, so that the operation of a user in the process of updating and displaying the image on the shooting preview screen by the electronic device can be simplified. Moreover, the user can trigger the electronic equipment to update only the image displayed on the shooting preview picture through the second input, and the image can not be deleted or saved, so that the flexibility of the image display process of the electronic equipment is further improved.

Optionally, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include step 206 after the step 201:

step 206: the electronic device displays at least one thumbnail in a second area in the shot preview screen, each thumbnail indicating an image.

The second area is different from the first area, for example, the first area is located above the shot preview screen.

Further, the electronic device may further display an expansion control when the second area in the preview image is shot to display a thumbnail of each image in the group of images. The expansion control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to update and display the image thumbnail.

For example, one input by the user to the expansion control is used to trigger the electronic device to sequentially move the thumbnails in the current list forward one display position to achieve cancellation of display of the first thumbnail in the current list and addition of a thumbnail of the next image at the end of the list that displays the last thumbnail in the current list.

In addition, a user's sliding input of a thumbnail for each image in a set of images displayed on a captured preview screen may trigger the electronic device to update the displayed image thumbnail.

Alternatively, at least one thumbnail displayed in the second area is a thumbnail of an image in the album (album 1) in which the first image is located, or at least one thumbnail is a thumbnail of an image in another album other than the album 1.

Alternatively, the image indicated by the at least one thumbnail may be an image associated with the target object.

For example, in connection with (D) in fig. 3, as shown in fig. 7, the electronic device may include a set of thumbnails of the image D1 (i.e., target thumbnail) in the region V (i.e., second region) on the photographing preview screen 71.

In this way, the electronic device may display not only the image on the shooting preview screen, but also at least one thumbnail on the shooting preview interface, where each thumbnail indicates an image, so that the user may intuitively view the image indicated by the at least one thumbnail on the shooting preview interface. Therefore, the electronic equipment is beneficial to improving the diversity of the images displayed on the shooting preview picture.

Optionally, the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include step 207 and step 208 after the step 206:

step 207, the electronic device receives a third input from a user of an image of a target thumbnail and a target object in the at least one thumbnail.

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

For example, the third input may be an input by which the user drags the target thumbnail to a position where the first image is located in the photographing preview screen. Specifically, the third input may be input by the input 2.

Step 208, the electronic device updates the first image displayed in the first area to the third image indicated by the target thumbnail in response to the third input.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the second area on the shooting preview screen, the electronic device may first display an icon of a lower album (for example, an album associated with the target object, which is denoted as album 3). Subsequently, after the user inputs the icon, the electronic device may display a thumbnail (including a target thumbnail) of each image in a group of images in the album 3 in the form of a list on the photographing preview screen. For example, the album 3 may be stored locally in the electronic device or in a cloud server, i.e. the storage location of the third image is the electronic device or the cloud server.

For example, in connection with fig. 7, after the user drags the thumbnail of the image D1 to the position where the image A1 is located as shown in (a) of fig. 8, the electronic apparatus displays the image D1 on the region K in the photographing preview screen 71 as shown in (b) of fig. 8, that is, realizes displaying the image D1 (i.e., the third image) using the AR technique.

In this way, the user can select any one required thumbnail from the at least one thumbnail displayed on the shooting preview screen, and control the electronic device to update the first image displayed on the shooting preview screen to the image indicated by the thumbnail, for example, through the third input of the target thumbnail and the image of the target object, and control the electronic device to update the first image displayed on the shooting preview screen to the third image indicated by the target thumbnail, so that the diversity of the displayed images of the electronic device is improved.

Optionally, in the case that the photo in the photo frame is the first photo theme, the image indicated by the at least one thumbnail is an image associated with the first photo theme; in the case where the photograph in the photo frame includes a face image of the first person, the images indicated by the at least one thumbnail each include a face image of the first person.

For example, the first photo theme may be a wedding theme of the user, where the at least one thumbnail indicated image is an image associated with the wedding theme, such as an image of all wedding themes in an album associated with the target object. Of course, the first photo theme provided in the embodiment of the present method may be any photo theme other than the wedding theme, which is not described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, where the photograph in the photo frame includes a face image of a first person, the images indicated by the at least one thumbnail each include a face image of the first person, e.g., all of the images including a face image of the first person in the album associated with the target object.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, because the electronic device may display at least one thumbnail for indicating the image associated with the first photo theme on the shooting preview screen, the user may intuitively view the thumbnail of the third image associated with the first photo theme, and may conveniently control the electronic device to update the first image displayed on the shooting preview screen to the third image associated with the first photo theme, thereby improving the man-machine interaction performance of the electronic device in the process of displaying the image on the shooting preview screen. In addition, the electronic device can display at least one thumbnail indicating the face image comprising the first person on the shooting preview picture, so that a user can intuitively view the face image comprising the first person, and can conveniently control the electronic device to update the first image displayed on the shooting preview picture to a third image comprising the face image of the first person, and the man-machine interaction performance of the electronic device in the process of displaying the image on the shooting preview picture is improved.

Optionally, the target object is a frame (e.g., a target frame as described above), and the photograph in the frame includes an image of the second person. Specifically, the step 201 may be implemented by the step 201 ', and the step 202 may be implemented by the step 202':

step 201', the electronic device receives a first input of a user on an area where a face image of a second person in a photograph in a photo frame is located in a shooting preview screen.

For example, the first input is a click input of the user in the shot preview screen to an area where an image of the second person in the photograph in the image of the photo frame is located, and may trigger the electronic device to frame (e.g., circle) the image of the second person.

Step 202', the electronic device displays a first image associated with a second person in a first area.

Illustratively, the second person is one of the people in the photo frame.

Alternatively, the electronic device may detect whether the image of the target object in the shot preview screen includes a target face image, for example, the electronic device may interact with the cloud server to implement detecting whether the image of the target object includes a face image of a person.

Specifically, the electronic device may identify, through a face recognition technology, a face feature in an image of the previewed target object, and report the face feature (i.e., the face feature in the target face image) to the cloud server, where the cloud server may determine, from all images associated with the target object, an image including the face feature, and use the image as the first image. The method comprises the step of determining a first image comprising a face image of a first person from all preset images associated with a target object. The cloud server may then issue a corresponding first image to the electronic device.

It will be appreciated that different face images are used to distinguish between different persons.

Illustratively, in connection with FIG. 3, the face image Y included in the image N of the entity, the images A1-A3 associated with the target frame M each include the face image Y.

For example, when a face image of a person Y is included in an image of a target object in practice, the images in the album 1 in which the first image is located each include a face image Y of one person (noted as person 1); when the image of the target object in practice includes the face image U of another person (noted as person 2), the images in the album 1 where the first image is located each include the face image U of person 2. In addition, when the face image Y of the person 1 and the face image U of the person 2 are included in the image of the target object in practice, the images in the image in the album 1 each include the face image Y of the person 1 and/or the face image U of the person 2. Of course, the image in the album 1 is an image associated with the target object.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in a case where a face image of a person in a first image stored in a cloud server is consistent with a face image of a person in a photo frame previewed by an electronic device, the cloud server may issue an image including the person to an AR client of the electronic device, so that a user may browse other images of the person on a shooting preview screen.

In this way, in the case where the face image of the second person is included in the image of the preview photo frame, the electronic device can display the first image including the face image of the second person on the photographing preview screen. Therefore, the image retrieval capability based on the face features of the person is provided while the interest of browsing images by the user is improved, and the user can conveniently browse the images of a certain person. I.e. the electronic device can quickly display an image associated with a person on the shot preview screen.

Optionally, the first image comprises face images of at least two persons. Specifically, in the image display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, step 202 may further include step 209 and step 210:

step 209, the electronic device receives a fourth input of a face image of a third person in the first image from the user.

Similarly, the description of the input manner of the fourth input may refer to the description of the input manner of the first input in the above embodiment, which is not repeated in the embodiments of the present invention.

The fourth input may be, for example, a click input to a face image of the third person.

Step 210, the electronic device updates at least one thumbnail to a thumbnail associated with the third persona in response to the fourth input.

Alternatively, the electronic device may first frame a face image of the third person using a wire and update at least one thumbnail to a thumbnail associated with the third person in response to the fourth input.

Illustratively, in connection with fig. 7, after the user's click input of the face image U included in the image A1, as shown in (a) of fig. 9, the electronic device updates at least one thumbnail to a plurality of thumbnails associated with the third person identified by the face image U (i.e., the above-described person 2), as shown in (b) of fig. 9.

In this way, in the case where the face image of the third person is included in the first image displayed on the photographing preview screen, the electronic device can update at least one thumbnail to a thumbnail associated with the third person through the fourth input, thus enabling the electronic device to quickly update and display an image including an association of a certain person on the photographing preview screen.
