Some terms/nouns referred to in the embodiments of the present application are explained below.

Image cutting technology: the image segmentation is to divide an image into a plurality of specific areas and extract the images included in each area, and the images belonging to the same area can be assigned with the same number. In the embodiment of the application, the image cutting technology is used for segmenting the first image in the electronic equipment, so that a user can select an image needing protection from the segmented first image.

The face recognition technology comprises the following steps: the face recognition technology is a biometric technology for performing identification based on facial feature information of a person. In the embodiment of the application, the face recognition technology is used for performing feature recognition on a target face image included in a first image.

The embodiment of the application provides an image sending method, an image sending device and electronic equipment, wherein first input of a first image in a target application program is received, and the first image comprises a target face image; and responding to the first input, sending the first image through the target application program, wherein the target human face image is invisible to a first account in a target account group, the first account is a low-interaction-degree account in the target account group, the interaction degree of the first account and a second account is smaller than a preset threshold value, and the second account is associated with the target human face image.

By means of the scheme, when a user wants to share an image including a target face image with a friend, the user can trigger the image to be sent through the target application program through input of the image in the target application program, and because the interaction degree of a second account associated with the target face image and a first account in a target account group of the target application program is low, the target face image in the image is invisible to the first user, so that image leakage of the user can be prevented. The user image (e.g., user's photo) information is secured in the social application.

The image sending method, the image sending device, and the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an image sending method, which includes the following steps S101 and S102.

S101, the image sending device receives a first input of a first image in a target application program.

The first image comprises a target face image.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target application may be a social application or another application with a session function, which is determined according to actual situations, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the application. For example, the target application is a shopping application with a session function.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first image is an image including a face image. Wherein the first image may comprise one or more face images.

In addition, the first image may be an image stored in an album of the electronic device; or an online image from a server displayed for the electronic device, i.e. the first image is not stored in the electronic device. The method can be determined according to actual conditions, and the method is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

Optionally, the first image may be a complete image, that is, the first image is an image that is not subjected to image segmentation by using an image segmentation technology; or the first image is an image obtained by image cutting by adopting an image cutting technology. Specifically, the determination can be determined according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this

Optionally, since the first image includes the target face image, one possible scenario is: under the condition that the first image comprises one face image, the target face image is the face image, and the number of the target face images is one; in the case where the first image includes a plurality of face images, the target face image may be one face image or at least two face images of the plurality of face images.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input may be touch input, voice input, gesture input, or the like for the first image. Wherein the first input is used to trigger sending the first image by the target application. For example, the touch input is a click input of the first image by the user. Of course, the first input may also be a physical key input or other possible inputs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

S102, the image sending device responds to the first input and sends the first image through the target application program.

The target face image is invisible to a first account in a target account group, the first account is a low-interaction-degree account in the target account group, the interaction degree of the first account and a second account is smaller than a preset threshold value, and the second account is associated with the target face image. The target account group consists of accounts in a target contact list of the target application or accounts in a session group in the target application.

Alternatively, it is assumed that the account that triggered the sending of the first image is the target account. (1) In the case that the target account group consists of accounts in a target contact list of the target application, the target contact list may consist of contacts of the target account in an address book in the target application or consist of registered accounts in the target application; (2) in the case where the target account group consists of accounts in a session group in the target application, the session group may be any group to which the target accounts are added in the target application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the content for indicating the degree of interaction may include the number of interaction modes, the frequency of interaction, or other content that may indicate the degree of interaction. It is to be understood that the preset threshold may be different, and the content for indicating the degree of interaction may be different.

Illustratively, when the content for indicating the degree of interaction is the number of interaction modes, the low-interaction-degree account is an account in the target account group, where the number of interaction modes interacting with the second account is less than a preset threshold; and when the content for indicating the interaction degree is the interaction frequency, the account with the low interaction degree is an account in the target account group, wherein the interaction frequency of the interaction with the second account is less than a preset threshold value.

It should be noted that the above "associating the second account with the target face image" means: and the identity account of the target face image in the target application program is a second account. Specifically, reference may be made to the following description of the embodiments, which are not repeated herein.

It can be appreciated that since the target face image is not visible to the first account in the target account group, one case is: the target face image is not visible to a first account in the target contact list; in another case: the target face image is not visible to the first account in the conversation group in the target application.

Optionally, after S102, the image sending method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: the device of the first account receives the first image through the target application program, and the target face image included in the first image is not displayed in the device of the first account. That is, the first image received by the device of the first account is a processed image, such that the first account is masked.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, an image in the first image other than the target face image may be visible or invisible to the first account in the target account group. The method comprises the following specific steps:

(1) for the case where an image in the first image other than the target face image is visible to the first account in the target account group:

in the embodiment of the application, after the first image is sent by the target application program, the server can deduct the target face image in the first image by adopting a matting mode and reserve images except the target face image in the first image; or, the server may add a mosaic to the target face image in the first image by using a mosaic adding manner. In this way, the first image received by the device of the first account is an image that has been matte processed or mosaic processed.

(2) The first account in the target account group is not visible for images in the first image other than the target face image, i.e., the entire first image is not visible for the first account.

In this embodiment of the present application, after the first image is sent by the target application, the server may add a mosaic to the entire first image in a mosaic adding manner, so that the first image received by the device of the first account is a processed image, and the device of the first account cannot display the image content of the first image; or the server closes the authority of the first account to acquire the first image, namely the first account is completely shielded, so that the whole first image is not displayed in the device of the first account.

For example, the image sending device is a mobile phone, and the target account group is composed of accounts in the target contact list of the target application program. If a user wants to share a self-photo of the user with a friend circle, the user can click the self-photo (i.e., the first image) in the photo album of the mobile phone. After the cell phone receives the click input (i.e., the first input), the cell phone may send the selfie to the circle of friends of the social application through the social application in response to the click input. The mobile phone determines that the account associated with the self-portrait is small red according to the self-portrait, and the small red is a low interaction degree account interacting with the small red in the contact list of the small red, so that the small red face image in the self-portrait is invisible to the small red. Thus, after the mobile phone of the floret receives the self-shot through the social application program, the floret triggers the mobile phone to display a friend circle of the social application program, and the self-shot with reddish color is not displayed in the friend circle.

The embodiment of the application provides an image sending method, when a user wants to share an image including a target face image with a friend, the user can trigger sending of the image through a target application program through input of the image in the target application program, and because a second account associated with the target face image has a low interaction degree with a first account in a target account group of the target application program, the target face image in the image is invisible to the first user, so that image leakage of the user can be prevented. The user image (e.g., user's photo) information is secured in the social application.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 1, as shown in fig. 2, after the above S101, the image sending method according to the embodiment of the present application further includes the following S103; accordingly, S102 described above may be specifically realized by S102A described below.

S103, the image sending device responds to the first input and determines a second account from the target contact list.

The information of the second account comprises a face image matched with the characteristics of the target face image.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the information of the second account may include: account information of the second account in the target application, historical information of the second account in the target application, and possibly other information. For example, the account information includes account head portrait, account nickname, and the like, and the history information includes self-portrait image, group photograph, image memo, and the like.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, a face recognition technology is used to recognize image features of a target face image, so as to determine an identity of the target face image, that is, determine that the target face image corresponds to an account in a target application program.

Optionally, the step S103 may specifically include: the image sending device responds to the second input and acquires the image characteristics of the target face image through a face recognition technology; then obtaining the information of each account in the target contact list, comparing the image characteristics of the target face image with the information of each account, and determining the information comprising the face image matched with the characteristics of the target face image; then, the account corresponding to the information including the face image is determined to be a second account.

S102A, sending the first image through the target application.

Illustratively, assume that the first image comprises a girl face image. In the case where the first image is displayed, the user can long-press the first image. After receiving a long press input of the first image by the user, the image sending device may identify, in response to the long press input, features of the girl face image by using a face recognition technology, and compare the features of the girl face image with information of each account in the target contact list of the target application one by one, thereby determining that the features of the account avatar with a small and clear account in the target contact list match the features of the girl face image, that is, the small and clear account is the second account.

According to the image sending method provided by the embodiment of the application, a user can trigger the selection of the face image with the information of one account including the characteristics matched with the characteristics of the target face image from the target contact list through input, and the account is determined as the second account. Namely, the account identity of the target face image in the target application program can be identified.

Optionally, the S101 may specifically include S101A to S101C described below. Accordingly, the above S102 may be implemented by the following S102B.

S101A, the image transmission apparatus receives a second input for the first image.

The first image comprises N face images, and N is a positive integer.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second input may be touch input, voice input, gesture input, or the like for the first image. Wherein the second input is used to trigger image segmentation of the first image. For example, the touch input is a long press input of the first image by the user. Of course, the second input may also be a physical key input or other possible inputs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

S101B, the image transmission device divides the first image into N character units in response to the second input.

Wherein each of the N person units includes one of the N face images.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first image is segmented by using an image segmentation technique. Specifically, the first image may be divided into N individual object units corresponding to N individual face images from the N individual face images included in the first image.

Illustratively, the image sending device is taken as a mobile phone. As shown in fig. 3 (a), the first image includes 3 face images, which are respectively: a woman face image, a man face image and a child face image. In the case that the mobile phone displays the first image, the user can press the first image for a long time. After the mobile phone receives a long press input from the user, in response to the long press input, the mobile phone divides the first image into a person unit 01, a person unit 02, and a person unit 03 as shown in (b) of fig. 3, one person unit including one face image, according to the number of face images included in the first image.

S101C, the image transmission device receives a third input to the target person unit among the N person units.

Wherein the target person unit includes a target face image.

Alternatively, the target person unit may be any person unit among the N person units, and the number of the target person units may be one or more.

S102B, in response to the third input, determining a second account from the target contact list, and sending the first image through the target application.

According to the image sending method provided by the embodiment of the application, a user can trigger the first image comprising the N face images to be divided into the N personal object units through one input of the first image, so that the user can select one personal object unit from the N personal object units according to actual needs, namely, the user can select the face image needing to be protected in the first image in a targeted manner. Therefore, the autonomous selection degree of the user is improved.

Optionally, the first image is an image to be sent to the target conversation group. S102 may be specifically implemented by S102C described below.

S102C, the image sending device sends the first image to the target conversation group through the target application program in response to the first input.

The target account group is composed of accounts in the target session group. I.e., the target face image is not visible to the first account in the target conversation group.

It can be understood that, in the case that the first image is an image to be sent to the target session group, since the user can trigger sending the first image to the target session group through the target application program by inputting, the target face image in the first image is invisible to the first account in the target session group, so that an account in the target session group, which is associated with the target face image and has a lower degree of interaction with the second account, can be prevented from misusing the photograph in the target application program. Thus, photo security under the social platform is improved.

Optionally, after S101, the image sending method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include S104 to S106 described below. Accordingly, the above S102 may be implemented by the following S102D.

S104, the image sending device responds to the first input and obtains at least one interactive mode number.

And each of the at least one number of interaction modes is the number of interaction modes in which the second account and one account in the target account group have interacted. The number of interaction means may be used to indicate the degree of interaction.

Optionally, before the step S104, the image sending method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: and acquiring an interaction record of the second account interacted with each account in the target account group. The interaction record may include a number of ways that the second account has interacted with any of the set of target accounts. Therefore, at least one interactive mode number can be obtained according to the interactive records.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the number of the at least one interaction manner quantity may be determined by the number of accounts included in the target account group, or by the number of accounts in the target account group that have interacted with the second account. Specifically, the following two possible cases are as follows:

one possible scenario assumes that the target account group includes M accounts, M being a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. When the target account group includes M accounts, the number of interactive manners in which the second account and each account of the M accounts have interacted may be obtained, that is, the number of M interactive manners may be obtained.

Another possible scenario assumes that the target account group includes M accounts, M being a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. When the target account group includes M accounts, the accounts that have interacted with the second account in the M accounts are S accounts, so that the number of interaction modes in which the second account has interacted with each account in the S accounts can be obtained, that is, the number of S interaction modes can be obtained, and S is a positive integer smaller than or equal to M.

It can be understood that the larger the value of the number of interaction means, the higher the degree of interaction between the second account and one account in the target account group; the smaller the value of the number of interaction means, the lower the degree of interaction of the second account with one account of the set of target accounts.

And S105, under the condition that the number of the first interaction modes in the at least one interaction mode number is larger than or equal to a first threshold value, the image sending device determines the account corresponding to the number of the first interaction modes as a fourth account.

Optionally, the number of the first interaction modes is any number of at least one interaction mode, and the number of the interaction modes included in the first interaction mode number may be one or more.

Specifically, when at least one interactive mode number includes one interactive mode number, the first interactive mode number is the interactive mode number, that is, the number of the interactive mode numbers included in the first interactive mode number is one; when at least one of the number of interaction modes includes a plurality of numbers of interaction modes, the number of first interaction modes is the number of interaction modes in the number of interaction modes, that is, the number of interaction modes included in the number of first interaction modes may be one or more.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, since the target application supports P types of interaction manners, a value of one number of interaction manners does not exceed P, and thus, when the number of first interaction manners is greater than the first threshold, the first threshold is smaller than P. Therefore, the value of the first threshold may be any positive integer not exceeding P, which may be determined according to practical situations, and is not limited in this application. For example, the first threshold is equal to 2.

It can be understood that, since the first number of interaction methods is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the degree of interaction between the second account and the account corresponding to the first number of interaction methods is high, and thus the account corresponding to the first number of interaction methods is a high-interaction-degree account that interacts with the second user, that is, the fourth account is a high-interaction-degree account, which may also be referred to as a high-affinity relationship chain account of the second user.

S106, the image sending device determines the accounts in the target account group except the fourth account as the first account.

The first account comprises accounts of which the number of interaction modes of the target account group and the second account is smaller than a first threshold value. Namely, the first account is a low interaction account which is interacted with the second account except for the high interaction account in the target account group.

It should be noted that the accounts other than the fourth account in the target account group are determined as the first account, that is, the first account is an account other than the high affinity chain account in the target account group, so that the target face image is invisible to the accounts other than the fourth account in the target account group.

It will be appreciated that after sending the first image through the target application, the target face image is visible to the highly interactive accounts of the target account group that interact with the second user, i.e., the first image including the target face image is visible to the fourth account of the target account group.

Illustratively, the image sending device is a mobile phone, and the first threshold is equal to 2. Assuming that the target account group of the target application includes account 1, account 2, account 3, account 4, and account 5, the number of acquired interaction means is denoted by T. The mobile phone respectively determines the interaction modes of the second account and the account 1 including sending private letters, praise and comments according to the interaction records of the second account and each account in the target account group, wherein the number of the interaction modes T1 is 3; the interaction mode of the second account with account 2 includes sending a private letter, that is, the number of interaction modes T2 is 1; the interaction mode of the second account and the account 3 comprises sending private letters and comments, namely the number of the interaction modes T3 is 2; the interaction mode of the second account and the account 4 comprises sending private letter and praise, namely the number of the interaction modes is T4-2; the second account has no interaction with account 5, i.e. the number of interactions T5 is 0. Since T1 is greater than the first threshold value, and T3 and T4 are equal to the first threshold value, the cell phone determines account 1 corresponding to T1, account 3 corresponding to T3, and account 4 corresponding to T4 as the fourth account, so that the cell phone can determine account 2 and account 5 in the target account group other than account 1, account 3, and account 4 as the first account.

S102D, the image sending apparatus sends the first image through the target application.

According to the image sending method provided by the embodiment of the application, before the first input of the first image in the target application program is received, at least one interaction mode number used for indicating the interaction degree can be obtained; and then according to the at least one interaction mode quantity, taking accounts except the highly-interactive accounts which interact with the second account in the target account group as first accounts. Therefore, the low-interaction-degree account which interacts with the second account in the target account group of the target application program can be screened out according to the social relation chain of the second user in the target application program.

Optionally, after S104, the image sending method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include S107, and accordingly, S106 may be implemented by S106A.

And S107, under the condition that the second interactive mode quantity in the at least one interactive mode quantity is smaller than the first threshold value and is larger than or equal to the second threshold value, the image sending device determines the account corresponding to the second interactive mode quantity as a fifth account.

It should be noted that the value of the second threshold may be any positive integer smaller than the first threshold, which may be determined specifically according to an actual situation, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the application. For example, the first threshold value is 3, and the second threshold value is 1.

It can be understood that, since the second number of interaction modes is smaller than the first threshold and is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the degree of interaction between the second account and the account corresponding to the second number of interaction modes is lower than the degree of interaction between the second account and the account corresponding to the first number of interaction modes, so that the account corresponding to the second number of interaction modes is a medium-interaction-degree account interacted with the second user, that is, the fifth account is a medium-interaction-degree account, which may also be referred to as a fifth account being a medium-affinity relationship chain account of the second user.

S106A, the image transmission device determines the account other than the fourth account and the fifth account in the target account group as the first account.

The first account comprises accounts of which the number of interaction modes interacting with the second account in the target account group is smaller than a second threshold value. Namely, the first account is a low-interaction account which is interacted with the second account except for the high-interaction account and the medium-interaction account in the target account group.
