Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the attached drawings, and it should be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

In order to improve the efficiency of generating covers of multiple videos, embodiments of the present invention provide a cover generation method, apparatus, device, and medium.

As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, embodiments of the present application may be embodied as a system, apparatus, device, method, or computer program product. Thus, the present application may be embodied in the form of: entirely hardware, entirely software (including firmware, resident software, micro-code, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software.

In this document, it is to be understood that any number of elements in the figures are provided by way of illustration and not limitation, and any nomenclature is used for differentiation only and not in any limiting sense.

With the development of internet technology, more and more users browse videos through intelligent equipment as an entertainment project, and more users become one shooter and participate in the video production. In order to increase the browsing volume, the photographer can generally attract users by improving the quality of the produced video as much as possible, i.e., share some fancy, interesting and novel video content.

In practical applications, a user may wish to browse other videos published by a photographer after being attracted to a video produced by the photographer. In order to facilitate a user to browse all videos published by a photographer, a personal video page for displaying all videos published by the photographer is designed in advance, in order to facilitate the user to browse interested videos quickly, user experience is improved, a cover page of all videos published by the photographer is displayed in the personal video page, and the user can browse videos corresponding to the cover page through operation on a certain displayed cover page in the personal video page of the photographer. Therefore, how to design the front cover of a certain video also has a great influence on improving the browsing amount of the video.

Generally, in order to highlight own style, a photographer can unify the styles of covers of all videos, and can design covers in different styles to classify all videos displayed on a personal video page through the covers in different styles so that all videos published by the photographer are combed through the covers. The subsequent user browses the designed and combed personal video page, can more quickly find the video which the user wants to browse through the cover, and has key effects on quickly attracting the attention of the user, briefly summarizing the content of the video to the user, highlighting the personal style, and improving the video click rate and browsing amount.

In the related art, in order to generate a cover page of a video, a user inputs an add video instruction to a smart device, where the user inputs the add video instruction in many ways, for example, the user may input the add video instruction in a voice manner or may input the add video instruction by operating a virtual button displayed on a display interface of the smart device. The specific mode of inputting the add video command can be flexibly set according to actual requirements, and is not particularly limited herein. After the intelligent device obtains a video adding instruction input by a user, prompt information for prompting the user to record content information of the added video is output, and the content information of the video recorded by the user is obtained. And outputting prompt information for prompting the user to add a video cover, acquiring an image selected by the user, and determining the cover corresponding to the video based on the image. The image may be a certain frame image in a recorded video, or a certain image pre-saved by a user.

According to the method, when covers of a plurality of videos need to be generated, a user needs to execute the operation on each video to respectively determine the cover corresponding to each video, and the operation is very complicated and the user experience is poor. And for a plurality of videos with the same theme, a plurality of users can adopt the method that covers displayed by the videos with the same theme can be spliced into a complete image according to the publishing sequence, so that the users can clearly know which covers correspond to the videos with the same theme in each cover displayed by the current personal video page according to the covers of the videos, and therefore the videos with the same theme can be quickly found and browsed.

In the related art, if it is desired that a cover page of a plurality of video displays with the same theme can be assembled into a complete image according to the distribution sequence, the user is required to store the complete image in advance, design the complete image, such as adding elements like characters and themes, and then control a cropping tool in the image processing software to crop the designed image so that the size ratio of each sub-image to be cropped is the same as the size of the cover page. And obtaining and storing sub-images respectively corresponding to a plurality of videos with the same theme through multiple cutting by a user. And subsequently, for each video, determining a cover page corresponding to the video through the cover page generation method, the pre-recorded video and the sub-image corresponding to the video. Based on this, the method for generating the cover page is very complicated in operation, and excessively depends on the process of artificially cutting the image, so that a large amount of time is consumed, and the difficulty of making a video by a user is increased.

For example, a user wishes to distribute a movie rating video about a certain movie, and is expected to distribute the complete movie rating video in 3 sub-videos. If it is desired that the cover page of the 3 sub-video displays can be assembled into the poster of the movie in the distribution sequence, the user is required to store the poster of the movie in advance, design the poster, for example, add characters, themes, etc., and then control a cropping tool in the image processing software to crop the designed poster so that the size ratio of the cropped sub-images is the same as the size of the cover page. And (3) cutting by a user for 3 times to obtain and store sub-images corresponding to the 3 sub-videos respectively. And aiming at each sub-video, generating a cover page of the sub-video through the cover page generation method, the sub-video and the sub-image corresponding to the sub-video.

In order to solve the above problem, embodiments of the present invention provide a cover generation method, apparatus, device, and medium. Because the corresponding relation between the number and the splitting mode is preset, in the process of generating the cover, after receiving a first trigger operation for editing the covers of the first number of target videos, namely after receiving the first trigger operation for editing the covers of at least two target videos, the method can output prompt information for prompting a user to add the covers, receive a target image selected by the user, determine the splitting mode corresponding to the preset first number according to the corresponding relation between the preset number and the splitting mode, so as to split the target image into each subimage of the first number according to the splitting mode, and then perform corresponding processing based on each subimage, so as to determine the covers corresponding to the target videos of the first number respectively, thereby realizing the simultaneous generation of the covers of at least two target videos, and improving the efficiency of generating the covers of at least two target videos, the user operation is simplified, and the user experience is improved.

It should be noted that the application scenarios mentioned in the foregoing embodiments are merely exemplary scenarios provided for convenience of description, and are not intended to limit the application scenarios of the cover page generation method, apparatus, device and medium provided in the embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the cover generation method, apparatus, device and medium provided in the embodiments of the present invention may be applied to all application scenarios requiring a cover, such as a live lesson, a video tag tab, a short video, and the like.

Example 1:

fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a cover generation process provided in an embodiment of the present invention, where the process includes:

s101: receiving a first trigger operation of editing cover pages of a first number of target videos; wherein the first number is not less than 2.

The cover generation method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to the electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment can be intelligent equipment such as mobile intelligent equipment and the like and can also be a server.

In an actual application scenario, when a user needs to edit covers of at least two target videos at the same time, that is, when the covers of a first number of target videos are edited, a trigger operation (for convenience of description, denoted as a first trigger operation) for editing the covers of the first number of target videos may be input to the smart device. For example, the user may input the first trigger operation in a voice mode or in a virtual button displayed on a user display interface. The specific manner of inputting the first trigger operation may be flexibly set according to actual requirements, and is not specifically limited herein.

It should be noted that the first number is greater than 1.

In the related art, after a general video is published, the cover of the video cannot be changed, so that a user is required to carefully consider which image is selected as the cover of the video before publishing the video, and the user experience is not facilitated. When the cover of the published video has a problem, the user needs to record the video needing to be modified and add a replaced image again, so that the operation is very complicated and inconvenient when the cover of the published video is replaced. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target video may be not only a video to be published, but also a published video, that is, a cover page of the published video may be edited.

After receiving the first trigger operation, the intelligent device sends the information of receiving the first trigger operation to the electronic device for generating the cover. The electronic equipment for generating the cover adopts the cover generation method provided by the embodiment of the invention to perform corresponding processing based on the information of the first trigger operation.

Before the content information of the first number of target videos is recorded through the intelligent device, a user can input a first trigger operation for editing cover pages of the first number of target videos to the intelligent device. Of course, the intelligent device may also output prompt information prompting the user to edit the cover of each target video after detecting that the content information of the first number of target videos is recorded, and receive a first trigger operation for editing the cover of the first number of target videos.

The electronic device for generating the cover page may be the same as or different from the smart device.

S102: and outputting prompt information for prompting the user to add the cover page, and receiving the selected target image.

After receiving the first trigger operation, determining each target video needing cover generation, generating prompt information for prompting a user to add a cover, and controlling intelligent equipment to output. The user can select the target images in time according to the prompt information output by the intelligent device, so that the electronic device determines the cover corresponding to each target video based on the target images, and the efficiency of determining the cover is improved.

The prompt information output by the intelligent device may be prompt information in an audio format, such as a voice broadcast prompt information "please input an image", or prompt information corresponding to a text form may be displayed on the display interface, such as modes of displaying the prompt information "please add an image", a pop-up box (toast) prompt, and the like. Of course, two ways of outputting the prompt information may also be combined at the same time, such as simultaneously broadcasting the prompt information in the audio format and displaying the prompt information in the text format on the display interface. Specifically, the setting can be flexibly set according to actual requirements, and is not limited herein.

It should be noted that, after the intelligent device outputs the prompt information, the user may directly select the target image on the intelligent device, or may select the target image through another intelligent device and send the target image to the intelligent device. For example, the user may input the selection of the image in the folder by voice, select the first row of the third image, and the like, or select the selectable images displayed on the user display interface by operating. The specific manner of selecting the target image may be flexibly set according to actual requirements, and is not specifically limited herein.

After receiving the target image selected by the user, the electronic equipment performs subsequent processing based on the target image.

S103: and cutting the target image into each sub-image of the first quantity according to a preset cutting mode corresponding to the first quantity.

In order to conveniently determine the covers corresponding to the first number of target videos, a corresponding relation between the number and the segmentation mode is preset. Based on the above embodiment, after the target image is acquired, the corresponding splitting manner corresponding to the first number is determined according to the corresponding relationship between the preset number and the splitting manner, and the target image is split according to the corresponding splitting manner corresponding to the first number, so that the target image is split into each sub-image of the first number. For example, if the first number is 3, the slicing manner corresponding to the first number is to vertically divide the image into 3 sub-images.

In an actual application scenario, a situation that a first number of target videos are commonly displayed on interfaces such as a personal homepage of a user may occur, and in order to improve a display effect of the videos, when a segmentation mode corresponding to each number of videos is set, the display mode of the videos on the interfaces may be considered, that is, the segmentation mode corresponding to each number of videos is determined according to the display mode of the videos on the interfaces, so that after a subsequent user issues the first number of target videos in sequence, the cover of the first number of target videos can be seen to be spliced into a complete image on the interfaces such as the personal homepage.

In a possible implementation manner, the preset display manner is that each preset number is displayed in a row, after the first number is obtained, the first number is compared with the preset number, and the segmentation manner is determined according to the comparison result.

If the first number is not larger than the preset number or the first number is not an integral multiple of the preset number, directly dividing the target image into a first number of sub-images in the vertical direction; if the first number is larger than the preset number and the first number is an integral multiple of the preset number, determining the integral multiple N of the first number and the preset number, transversely equally dividing the target image into N +1 partial images, vertically dividing the C +1 partial images into the preset number, and acquiring the first number of sub-images.

For example, if every 3 videos are displayed in a row, when a splitting manner corresponding to the 3 videos is set, the splitting manner may be to vertically divide the image into three sub-images equally.

Of course, if the preset display mode is to display in one line for each preset number, it is also possible to set the corresponding splitting mode for each number, and for any number, the corresponding splitting mode for the number is to directly vertically divide the target image into the sub-images of the number equally.

In another possible embodiment, the preset presentation mode is a presentation mode in which each video is vertically arranged, and the target image can be directly and equally divided into the first number of sub-images in the transverse direction.

For example, if each video is displayed in a vertical arrangement, when a splitting manner corresponding to 3 videos is set, the splitting manner may be to divide the image into three sub-images equally in the horizontal direction.

In some possible embodiments, in order to improve the diversity of segmentation and improve the user experience, each number may correspond to multiple segmentation modes. Before the target image is divided into each sub-image with the first quantity, outputting prompt information which comprises each segmentation mode corresponding to the first quantity and prompts a user to select one segmentation mode corresponding to the first quantity, receiving the selected segmentation mode corresponding to the first quantity, and cutting the target image into each sub-image with the first quantity according to the selected segmentation mode corresponding to the first quantity.

The output includes each segmentation mode corresponding to the first quantity and a prompt message mode for prompting the user to select one segmentation mode corresponding to the first quantity, which is the same as the output prompt message mode, and repeated parts are not repeated.

S104: and determining covers corresponding to the first number of target videos respectively based on each sub-image.

After the first number of sub-images are acquired based on the method in the above embodiment, corresponding processing may be performed according to each determined sub-image, and a cover page corresponding to each target video is determined.

In a possible implementation manner, after the first number of sub-images are acquired, a user may input an operation instruction for associating each sub-image with a corresponding target video through the intelligent device. After the electronic equipment receives an operation instruction for respectively associating each sub-image with the corresponding target video, the cover page corresponding to each target video is respectively determined according to the operation instruction and each sub-image.

In another possible embodiment, the determining, based on each of the sub-images, respective covers corresponding to the first number of target videos includes:

and for each target video, determining a target display position corresponding to the target video according to the corresponding relation between the preset sub-image display position and the video, and determining the sub-image positioned at the target display position as a cover corresponding to the target video.

In order to determine the cover corresponding to each target video, the corresponding relationship between the display position of each sub-image cut by each cutting mode and the video is preset. And after the corresponding splitting modes of the first number are determined, determining the corresponding relation between the display position of each preset subimage split by the splitting modes and the video, and determining the cover corresponding to each target video according to the corresponding relation between the display position of each subimage and the video.

In a possible implementation manner, according to the corresponding relationship between the display position of each sub-image and the video, determining the cover corresponding to each target video can perform the following steps:

firstly, acquiring any target video; and then determining a target display position corresponding to the target video according to the corresponding relation between the pre-configured sub-image display position and the video, acquiring the sub-image positioned at the target display position, and finally determining the sub-image as a cover corresponding to the target video.

Due to the first number of target videos, the above steps are executed for each target video until the cover corresponding to all the target videos is determined.

Example 2:

for facilitating the recording of at least two target videos by the user, on the basis of the above embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, if the target video is a video to be distributed, before the receiving of the first trigger operation of editing the cover of the first number of target videos, the method further includes:

receiving a second trigger operation of adding a second number of empty videos, wherein the second number is not less than the first number, so as to increase the video content of the target video in the empty videos subsequently.

In a possible implementation manner, the target video subjected to cover editing may be a video to be published, and the user adds a second number of empty videos through the smart device before editing the cover of the target video, so as to determine the video to be published by adding video content of the target video in the second number of empty videos.

In a specific implementation process, when a user wishes to edit a video to be published, a trigger operation (for convenience of description, denoted as a second trigger operation) of adding a second number of empty videos may be input to the smart device. The user can input a second triggering operation of adding a second number of empty videos to the intelligent device by repeating the operation of inputting and adding the empty videos for multiple times, and can also input the second number of empty videos to the intelligent device by respectively inputting the second number of empty videos and the operation of adding the empty videos. Of course, the second trigger operation of adding the second number of empty videos to the intelligent device may also be directly input, for example, voice information of adding the second number of empty videos to the intelligent device is directly input. In the specific implementation process, the flexible setting can be carried out according to the actual requirement.

It should be noted that the second number is not less than the first number, that is, the second number is greater than or equal to the first number.

After receiving the information of the second trigger operation, generating a second number of empty videos according to the second number, and subsequently processing the first number of empty videos by receiving an editing operation of the user on the first number of empty videos (including an operation of adding video content corresponding to the target video in the first number of empty videos and a first trigger operation of editing cover pages of the first number of target videos), for example, adding video content corresponding to the target video in the first number of empty videos, or editing cover pages of the first number of target videos based on the method of the above embodiment, and the like.

In order to facilitate a user to obtain edited videos (including videos to be published and videos published) after replacing the device, after receiving the information of the second trigger operation, the identification information of the user carried in the information is obtained, and when a second number of empty videos are generated, video identification information corresponding to each empty video and corresponding video information are generated, wherein the video information corresponding to any empty video includes video identification information corresponding to the empty video and identification information of the user.

The identification information of the user may be a numeric string, a character string, or the like, for example, identification information of a device, an IP address, an MAC address, or the like, or may be in other forms, and information that can uniquely represent the identity of the user may be used in the embodiment of the present invention as the representation information of the user. Similarly, the video identification information may also be a numeric string, a character string, or the like, or may also be in other forms, and information that can uniquely represent the video may all be used in the embodiment of the present invention as the representation information of the user.

In one possible embodiment, the video information corresponding to any empty video may be defined by the following codes:

{

uid:"",

video_id:"",

video_url:"",

cover_url:"",

text_image_url:""

}

wherein uid is identification information of a user, video _ id is video identification information, video _ url indicates an address for storing the video content, cover _ url indicates an address for storing a cover page of the target video, and text _ image _ url indicates a text image added to the target image.

After the identification information of the user and the video identification information corresponding to any empty video are acquired based on the above embodiment, the identification information of the user and the video identification information can be stored in the video information corresponding to the empty video. For example:

{

uid:2500620031,

video_id:788454165,

video_url:"",

cover_url:"",

text_image_url:""

}

because the user can add the video content corresponding to the target video in any empty video, after the electronic device receives the recording instruction for adding the video content corresponding to the target video in any empty video, the address for storing the video content can be stored as the video information corresponding to the empty video, so that the device can obtain the address of the video content through the identification information and the video identification information of the user no matter what device is replaced by the user in the following process, and the video content can be obtained from the address of the video content.

For example:

{

uid:2500620031,

video_id:788454165,

video_url:"video.mp4",

cover_url:"",

text_image_url:""

}

when the cover page of any one target video is determined based on the above embodiment, the address of the cover page where the target video is stored is also stored as video information.

For example:

{

uid:2500620031,

video_id:788454165,

video_url:"",

cover_url:"video_cover.png",

text_image_url:""

}。

example 3:

in order to improve the diversity of the front cover, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the selected target image, before cutting the target image into each sub-image of the first number according to a preset splitting manner corresponding to the first number, the method further includes:

receiving an adding instruction for adding characters; wherein, the adding instruction carries text typesetting information;

determining the target position of the character image to be added in the target image according to the position information in the character typesetting information;

determining the text content in the target format according to the format information and the content information in the text typesetting information;

adding a text image containing text content in the target format at the target position.

In the actual application process, in order to briefly introduce the subject of the first number of target videos or indicate the browsing sequence of the first number of target videos, the user may add characters in the target images, and set the character typesetting information of the added characters in the target images, that is, input an adding instruction for adding characters through the intelligent device.

After receiving an adding instruction of adding characters, analyzing the adding instruction to obtain character typesetting information carried in the adding instruction. The text layout information includes position information of the added text in the target image, format information of the text in the target image, content information of the text in the target image, and the like, and the format information includes at least one of size of the text, color of the text, style of the text, angle of the text, and the like. Determining a target position of a character to be added in the target image according to the position information in the acquired character typesetting information, namely determining the target position of the character image to be added in the target image, and determining the format of the added character content to display according to the format information and the content information in the acquired character typesetting information, namely determining the character content in the target format; and finally, adding a character image containing the character content in the target format at the target position in the target image. And when the target image is cut into the sub-images of the first number according to the preset cutting mode corresponding to the first number, if the character image in the target image comprises the cutting position of the target image, cutting the character image at the cutting position.

In one possible embodiment, when a text image containing text content in the target format is added at a target position in a target image, an address of the text image storing the text content in the target format may be stored as video information.

For example:

{

uid:2500620031,

video_id:788454165,

video_url:"",

cover_url:"video_cover.png",

text_image_url:"text_image.png"

}

in order to facilitate the user to edit the video cover next time, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the adding instruction for adding the text, the method further includes:

receiving a generation instruction for generating a character template;

and generating a character template according to the character typesetting information.

Because the text typesetting information of the text content added to the cover by the user is generally not changed at will when the user creates the cover of the video, for example, the text content of the creation time of the video is generally recorded in the upper left corner of the cover, the text content of the theme corresponding to the video is generally recorded in the upper right corner of the cover, and the like, if the user creates the cover of the next video or revises the cover of the video on which the cover is created, it is difficult for the user to ensure that the same text typesetting information is used every time, and the text content is added to the cover. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the user inputs the adding instruction for adding the text on the target image through the intelligent device, the user may further determine whether to input the generating instruction for generating the text template through the intelligent device according to the display effect of the text typesetting information of the text content added on the current target image.

When a user wishes to generate a text template according to the text typesetting information of the text content added to the current target image, a generation instruction for generating the text template can be input into the intelligent device. And after receiving a generation instruction for generating the character template, the electronic equipment acquires the character typesetting information of the character content added in the target image. Generating a text template according to the information contained in the text typesetting information, namely correspondingly storing the position information, the text content and the format information in the text typesetting information.

Since the target images correspond to the first number of target videos, the text layout information is also generally used for determining cover pages corresponding to the first number of target videos, respectively.
