The following describes in detail a method for sending a related image according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for sending a related image, including the following steps:

and 101, responding to a first input, and associating N images, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

The electronic device captures or stores a plurality of images, and associates N images in response to a first input performed by a user when the first input is received, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. That is, the association between the at least two images is established based on the first input of the user. The first input may be an input performed by a user on the image preview interface, or may be an input performed by the user on the image. The same image tags can be set for the N images forming the association relationship, so that the association relationship among the N images can be displayed based on the image tags, and a user can know the association among the images conveniently.

And 102, receiving a second input of the target image in the N images.

After associating the N images, a second input of the user to a target image may be received, where the target image is one of the N images, such as a first image of the N images, a last image of the N images, or an image of the N images that is in a specific order; or may be an image containing specific content. The second input performed by the user may be a selection input performed on the target image, or the second input may be an input performed by the user on a partial region of the target image.

And 103, responding to the second input, determining an image to be sent according to the target image and at least one image associated with the target image, and sending the image to be sent to a receiver.

When a second input performed by the user on the target image is received, the image to be transmitted may be determined according to the target image and the at least one image associated with the target image in response to the second input. That is, the image to be transmitted may be determined from the target image and at least one image of the (N-1) images. For example, the image to be transmitted may be determined according to the target image and (N-1) images, and the image to be transmitted may be determined according to the target image and one of the (N-1) images, which may include other cases.

When determining an image to be transmitted, for a target image, at least part of image content of the target image may be used as a basis for determining the image to be transmitted, and for each image of at least one image associated with the target image, at least part of the image content may be used as a basis for determining the image to be transmitted.

After determining the image to be transmitted, the determined image to be transmitted may be transmitted to a receiver (the receiver herein refers to a receiver device), such as transmitting the image to be transmitted to the receiver based on a social application, transmitting the image to be transmitted to the receiver based on a mail.

In the implementation process of the application, through associating the N images, when receiving a second input to a target image in the N images, the image to be sent is determined according to the target image and at least one image associated with the target image, so that the image to be sent can be determined by quickly and simply selecting the plurality of images based on the input to the target image, and a receiver can conveniently and effectively view the images and quickly know the images based on the association between the images.

Optionally, step 101, in response to the first input, associates the N images, including:

in response to the first input, image correlation is performed on the N images based on at least one of a photographing time and photographing contents.

In associating the N images in response to a first input performed by the user, the N images may be associated based on at least one parameter of the photographing time and the photographing contents.

When image association is performed based on the shooting time, N images located in the same shooting period may be image-associated; it is also possible to associate N images having an association relationship at the shooting time, for example, N images shot at the same time (for example, 8 am) within N days. When performing image association based on the shot contents, the N images related to the shot contents (the shot contents may be at least partially identical, or the shot contents may have a binding relationship therebetween) may be subjected to image association. When performing image association based on the shooting time and the shooting content, performing image association on N images which are located in the same shooting period and related to the shooting content; the N images related to the shooting content and having the association relationship at the shooting time may be image-associated.

In the implementation process, the image association of the N images is carried out based on at least one of the shooting time and the shooting content, so that the image association based on at least one parameter can be realized, and the image association mode is enriched.

Describing a scheme for image association based on shooting time, in response to a first input, associating N images, including:

responding to first input respectively executed on an image preview interface at a first moment and a second moment, and associating N images in a plurality of images collected in a target time period; the starting time of the target time interval is a first time, and the ending time of the target time interval is a second time.

When the image association is performed based on the shooting time, the shooting start time and the shooting end time may be determined in response to a first input of a user, specifically: receiving a first input executed by a user in the image preview interface at a first moment, determining the first moment as a shooting starting moment, receiving a second input executed by the user in the image preview interface at a second moment, and determining the second moment as a shooting ending moment. After the shooting start time and the shooting end time are determined, a target time period is determined based on the shooting end time and the shooting start time, and N images in the multiple images shot in the target time period are associated.

Wherein, a plurality of images shot in the target time period can form an image set, and N images are at least partial images in the image set. For the case that the N images are partial images in the image set, when the N images in the image set are subjected to image association, the N images may be selected in the image set according to a preset selection rule, and the selected N images are associated, for example, the N continuous images are selected for image association, and the N images are selected for image association according to an interval selection principle. In the case where the N images are all images in the image set, all images in the image set may be image-associated.

The first input performed by the user in the image preview interface at the first time may be a first input to the start control, and correspondingly, the first input performed by the user in the image preview interface at the second time may be a first input to the end control. The starting control and the ending control may be the same control or different controls, and for the case where the starting control and the ending control are the same control, the starting control may be controlled to be switched to the ending control after the first input is performed on the starting control. The first input performed by the user at the image preview interface at the first time and the second time may also be a specific gesture motion performed at the image preview interface, such as a specific shape, letter, number, etc. drawn at the image preview interface.

In the implementation process, by receiving first inputs respectively executed by the user at the image preview interface at the first time and the second time, determining the target time period in response to the first inputs, and associating N images in the multiple images acquired in the target time period, the determination of the shooting time period based on the shooting time parameter and the association of at least part of images shot in the shooting time period can be realized.

Optionally, for a case where a shooting period is determined based on the shooting time parameter, and N images are selected from among a plurality of images corresponding to the shooting period, determining, in response to the second input, an image to be transmitted according to the target image and at least one image associated with the target image, includes: and determining the N images as images to be transmitted in response to a second input of the target image.

After N images are determined in a plurality of images corresponding to a target time period and the determined N images are associated, after a second input to a target image in the N images is received, the N images can be directly determined as an image to be transmitted in response to the second input, that is, the N images associated with each other are all determined as the image to be transmitted by performing the second input to the target image in the N images associated with each other (the target image may be any one of the N images), so that the image to be transmitted is quickly determined through simple and convenient operation of a user, and the experience of the user is improved.

After the image association is performed on the N images, the method further includes:

displaying the N images with the image labels added; or

And displaying the N images in a multi-level superposition mode, and controlling the N images to be displayed in a tiled mode in response to the expansion input.

After the N images are associated, image tags may be set for the N images, the image tags corresponding to the N images may be set by a user, or information of a certain image (e.g., a first image) such as person, scene, or location information may be automatically recognized by the electronic device, and the image tags may be set according to the recognized information. By setting the image tags, when the N images are displayed, the N images with the image tags added can be displayed, that is, for each image in the N images, the corresponding image tag is added and then displayed, so that the N images are displayed in the album different from other images. As shown in fig. 2, images 1 to 6 to which image tags (person a) are added are displayed in the album list, and the images 1 to 6 are a series of related images. The images 1 to 6 may be selected according to a selection input for any one of the images 1 to 6.

The image labels corresponding to the determined N images are set, the images added with the image labels are displayed, the N images can be distinguished from other images in the album list, and the user can be prevented from being confused by automatic image selection through displaying the image labels.

After associating the N images, the N images may be displayed in a multi-level superimposition form in the album list, a superimposition display of the associated series images may be realized, and a set image tag may be displayed (e.g., a corresponding image tag may be displayed for a first image of the N images which is representative of the series images). Under the condition of receiving the expansion input of the user, for example, receiving the click on the first image of the N images displayed in the multi-level superposition mode, controlling the N images to be displayed in the tiled mode, so that the user can browse the N images, and can also screen the images in the N images according to the requirements.

In the implementation process, the image tags are set, and the N images added with the image tags are displayed, so that the N images can be distinguished from other images in the album list, and the image tags are displayed, so that the user can be prevented from being confused by automatic image selection; by displaying the related series images in an overlapping mode, more images can be displayed, when the series images need to be browsed or selected, specific input can be executed to control the series images to be tiled for display, and the display form of the series images is enriched.

A scheme for determining a shooting period, associating N images based on a plurality of images in the shooting period, and determining an image to be transmitted based on the associated N images is described below with reference to fig. 3, which includes the following steps:

step 301, receiving a first input executed by a user on a start control in an image preview interface at a first time, and determining the first time as a shooting start time.

For example, referring to fig. 4, the image preview interface displays a start control, and by receiving a first input (e.g., a click input) to the start control from a user, a first time when the first input is received is determined as the shooting start time. The first specific action performed by the user on the image preview interface, such as drawing the letter S, may also be received, and the first time when the first specific action is received is determined as the shooting start time.

Step 302, collecting images according to the continuous shooting action of the user, and determining the second moment as the shooting termination moment when receiving the first input executed by the user on the termination control in the image preview interface at the second moment.

For example, referring to fig. 5, the image preview interface displays an end control, and a second time when the first input is received is determined as the shooting termination time by receiving a first input (e.g., a click input) to the end control from a user. A second specific action performed by the user on the image preview interface, such as drawing the letter E, may also be received, and a second time when the second specific action is received is determined as the shooting termination time.

Step 303, associating the plurality of images collected in the target time period from the shooting start time to the shooting end time, and setting the same image tags for the plurality of images.

And step 304, displaying a plurality of images which are acquired in the target time period and added with the image labels.

By setting the image tags and displaying the plurality of images added with the image tags, relevance display of the plurality of related images through the image tags can be realized.

And 305, under the condition that one image in the plurality of images is selected, automatically selecting other images in the plurality of images, and determining the selected plurality of images as the images to be transmitted.

For example, a plurality of images are tiled in an image list, and when a first image of the plurality of images is selected, the plurality of images are all selected, so that the images (images acquired in a target time period) of the whole shooting series are all selected, so that a user can be prevented from hooking the images one by one, the selection experience of the user is improved, and the image tag is arranged, so that the user can be prevented from generating the confusion of automatic image hooking.

According to the process, the target time interval is determined by identifying the shooting starting time and the shooting ending time, and the images shot in the target time interval are correlated, so that when the user selects the images to send to the receiver, the images can be quickly selected through simple and convenient operation, and the user experience is improved.

In the implementation process of performing image association based on shooting time in the embodiment of the application, the target time period is determined through the first input of the user, and the image association is performed on N images in the plurality of images acquired in the target time period, so that the image association based on the shooting time parameter can be realized; the N images which are mutually associated are determined as the images to be sent, so that the images to be sent are quickly determined through simple operation of a user, and the user experience is improved; by setting the image label, the confusion of automatic image selection generated by a user can be avoided; by displaying the related series images in a superimposed manner, the series image tiling display is controlled based on a specific input performed by a user, and the display form of the series images is enriched.

The following describes a scheme of performing image association based on captured contents, and the following scheme may be included for the case of performing image association based on captured contents. When the N images are associated in response to the first input, the method comprises the following steps:

setting M mark areas for a first image in response to a first input to the first image;

for each marking area, when a third input to the marking area is received and K second images are obtained by shooting a target object corresponding to the marking area, associating at least partial images in the K second images with the corresponding marking areas;

m, K are integers greater than or equal to 1, each mark region corresponds to K second images, N images include a first image and at least partial images of the K second images corresponding to each mark region, the values of K are the same or different for different mark regions, and the first image is the first image of the N images.

In associating the N images based on the shot content, it is possible to set M mark regions for the first image in response to a first input performed by a user on the first image after receiving the first input for the first image, M being an integer greater than or equal to 1, that is, to enable setting of at least one mark region for the first image. After at least one mark region is set for the first image, for each mark region of the at least one mark region, when a third input for the mark region (current mark region) is received and K (K is an integer greater than or equal to 1) second images are obtained by shooting a target object corresponding to the current mark region, at least partial images of the K second images are associated with the corresponding current mark region in response to the third input, and the association between the mark region and the second images is realized. And through associating partial images in the K second images with the corresponding current mark areas, proper images can be selected from the K second images to be associated with the corresponding current mark areas, and through associating all the images in the K second images with the corresponding current mark areas, the K shot images can be associated with the corresponding current mark areas.

The number of the mark areas corresponding to the first image is at least one, each mark area corresponds to K second images, when the number of the mark areas corresponding to the first image is two or more than two, each mark area can correspond to K second images, the values of K can be the same or different for different mark areas, and the values of K can be preset by electronic equipment, so that a user can shoot according to the preset shooting number, and the user can shoot the second images with the corresponding number according to the self requirements. When the value of K is the same, it may be achieved that different marked areas correspond to the same number of second images.

When image association is performed on each mark area, the current mark area is associated with at least partial images in the corresponding K second images, so that the associated N images comprise the first image and at least partial images in the K second images corresponding to each mark area.

The first image is the first image of the N images, and the association of the series of images can be achieved by associating a plurality of images before and after the first image. By associating the mark region of the first image with the second image, when the first image is displayed and input satisfying the preset characteristics is received for the mark region, the corresponding second image is skipped to be displayed, so that the viewing continuity of the associated images is realized.

In the above implementation, the association between the region in the first image and the second image can be realized by associating the mark region with at least a partial image of the K corresponding second images for each mark region in the first image, and when the mark region is associated with a partial image of the K corresponding second images, the selection of an appropriate second image as the associated image can be realized, and when the mark region is associated with all images of the K corresponding second images, the captured K images can be realized as the associated images.

For the case that images shot before and after are associated based on shooting contents, when a target image is a first image, responding to a second input, and determining an image to be sent according to the target image and at least one image associated with the target image, the method comprises one of the following schemes:

in response to a second input, determining at least partial images of K second images respectively corresponding to the first image and the at least one mark area as images to be transmitted;

in response to a second input, for each mark region in the at least one mark region, image-stitching the mark region and at least part of images in the corresponding K second images to determine an image to be transmitted;

and in response to a second input, generating a first mark image according to the mark area for each mark area in the at least one mark area, and determining an image to be transmitted according to at least partial images in the K second images of the at least one first mark image corresponding to each first mark image.

When determining an image to be transmitted according to a target image and at least one image associated with the target image, one of the following three schemes may be included for a case where the target image is a first image.

When determining an image to be transmitted, at least some of the K second images corresponding to the first image and at least one of the M marker regions, respectively (at least some of the K second images are images associated with the corresponding marker region in the first image), may be determined as the image to be transmitted in response to a second input to the target image (the first image). The method specifically comprises the following steps: respectively acquiring at least partial images associated with the current mark area in K second images corresponding to the current mark area aiming at each mark area in the M mark areas, and determining the acquired second images and the first images as images to be transmitted; or, for a part of the M mark areas, at least a part of the images in the K second images corresponding to each mark area are respectively acquired (the at least a part of the images in the K second images are associated with the corresponding mark areas), and the acquired second images and the first image are determined as images to be transmitted. At this time, an image to be transmitted may be determined based on the first image and the associated second image.

When determining an image to be transmitted, the image to be transmitted may be determined by image-stitching, for each of at least one of the M marker regions, the marker region with at least some of the corresponding K second images (at least some of the K second images being images associated with the respective marker region in the first image) in response to a second input to the target image (the first image). The method specifically comprises the following steps: and for each marking area in the M marking areas, performing image splicing on the current marking area and at least part of images associated with the current marking area in the corresponding K second images, and determining the obtained spliced images as images to be sent, for example, obtaining M spliced images and determining the M Zhang Pinjie images as images to be sent. Or, for a part of the mark areas in the M mark areas, image stitching is performed on each mark area and at least a part of the images in the corresponding K second images (the at least part of the images in the K second images are images associated with the corresponding mark areas), and the obtained stitched image is determined as an image to be transmitted. At this time, the image to be transmitted may be determined based on image stitching.

When determining an image to be transmitted, in response to a second input to a target image (a first image), for each of at least one of M marker regions, a first marker image may be generated according to the marker region to obtain at least one first marker image, and obtaining a corresponding first marker image for the at least one of M marker regions may be implemented. And then determining an image to be transmitted according to at least one first mark image and at least part of the image in the K second images corresponding to each first mark image (the second image in the K second images associated with the corresponding first mark image). At this time, a marker image may be generated based on the marker region, and an image to be transmitted may be determined based on the marker image and the associated second image.

The following describes, by way of example, the above process of determining an image to be transmitted based on image stitching, and the process of determining an image to be transmitted based on a marker image and an associated second image. For example, the first image corresponds to the mark region 1 and the mark region 2, the mark region 1 corresponds to the second image 1, and the mark region 2 corresponds to the second image 2, and for determining the image to be transmitted based on image stitching, the mark region 1 and the corresponding second image 1 may be stitched, and the mark region 2 and the corresponding second image 2 may be stitched, so as to determine the image to be transmitted. For the case of determining an image to be transmitted based on the marker image and the associated second image, the first marker image 1 may be determined from the marker region 1, the first marker image 2 may be determined from the marker region 2, and the first marker image 1, the first marker image 2, the second image 1, and the second image 2 may be determined as the image to be transmitted.

In the implementation process, when the target image is the first image, the associated image can be directly determined as the image to be transmitted according to the first image and the second image, the image to be transmitted is determined based on image stitching, or the image to be transmitted is determined based on the marker image and the second image.

Optionally, in a case where the target image is a second image, in response to the second input, determining an image to be transmitted according to the target image and at least one image associated with the target image, where the determining includes one of the following schemes:

in response to a second input, determining the target image and the first image as an image to be transmitted;

responding to a second input, carrying out image splicing on the target image and a target mark region of the first image to determine an image to be sent, wherein the target mark region is associated with the target image;

in response to a second input, a target image and a second marker image are determined as an image to be transmitted, the second marker image being generated based on a target marker region of the first image, the target marker region being associated with the target image.

When determining an image to be transmitted according to a target image and at least one image associated with the target image, one of the following three schemes may be included for a case where the target image is a second image.

When determining the image to be transmitted, the target image (second image) and the first image may be determined as the image to be transmitted in response to a second input to the target image (second image), and at this time, the image to be transmitted may be determined according to the second image and the first image, so as to directly determine the image to be transmitted based on the photographed associated image.

When determining the image to be sent, in response to a second input to the target image (a second image), a target mark region associated with the target image may be determined in the first image, the target image and the target mark region in the first image are subjected to image splicing, and the spliced image is determined as the image to be sent. At this time, the image to be transmitted may be determined based on image stitching.

When determining an image to be transmitted, a target marker region associated with a target image (second image) may be determined in a first image in response to a second input to the target image, a second marker image may be generated based on the target marker region of the first image, and the target image and the generated second marker image may be determined as the image to be transmitted. At this time, a marker image may be generated based on the target marker region, and an image to be transmitted may be determined based on the marker image and the target image.

In the implementation process, when the target image is the second image, the associated image can be directly determined as the image to be transmitted according to the first image and the second image, the image to be transmitted is determined based on image stitching, or the image to be transmitted is determined based on the marker image and the second image.

In the following, a description is given of a case of performing image association based on captured content by using a specific example, after capturing and displaying a first image, stopping on a display page of the first image, receiving a first input of a user for the first image, and in response to the first input, setting M marked areas for the first image, such as marking a certain area or certain areas, where the marking may be to circle out a certain area. When a third input to the mark area is received and the target object corresponding to the mark area is photographed to obtain a second image, the photographed second image may be associated with the corresponding mark area, so as to realize association between the second image and the first image. As shown in fig. 6, two persons (person a and person B) in the first image are respectively marked to realize setting of two marked areas, the association between the second image and the first image is realized after the corresponding second image is captured and acquired by capturing the person a and a third input for the marked area (corresponding to the person a) is received, and the association between the second image and the first image is realized after the corresponding second image is captured and a third input for the marked area (corresponding to the person B) is received by capturing the person B. By carrying out image association, when a user views the associated images, the corresponding associated images can be displayed by carrying out operation on the first images, so that the user can conveniently and effectively view the associated images. For example, when a user wants to photograph a commodity and a commodity price for the other side, after one image (a commodity image including the commodity price) is photographed, the commodity price on the image may be circled, and then the circled position may be clicked, and after the commodity price is photographed, the two images may be automatically associated.

That is, when a user wants to associate a captured first image with another image, the user only needs to mark at least one region on the captured first image after capturing the first image, and for each marked region, after receiving a third input for the marked region and capturing a target object corresponding to the marked region, the captured image is automatically associated with the corresponding marked region of the first image, thereby achieving association between the images.

When a user wants to send a shot image to a receiving party, a certain image (such as a first image) in the associated series of images is selected, all the series of images can be automatically selected and sent, and after the images are sent, the receiving party can also touch a marked area of the first image to view the associated images.

According to the implementation process for performing image association based on shot content, M mark areas are set for a first image, the first image and a second image are associated under the condition that a third input for the mark areas is received and the second image is obtained by shooting a target object corresponding to the mark areas, and the image association can be realized based on the image content, so that a user can automatically jump to another associated image for viewing by inputting a current image when viewing the first image, and the defect that the user needs to repeatedly switch and compare the association between the recalled images when viewing the images is avoided. The method enriches the determining mode of the image to be transmitted by determining the first image and the second image as the image to be transmitted, determining the image to be transmitted based on image splicing or determining the image to be transmitted based on the marking image and the second image.

Alternatively, the following scheme may be included for the case of performing image association based on the shot content. In response to a first input, correlating the N images, including:

in response to a first input to the third image, segmenting the third image and determining P first regions;

for each first region, associating the first region with a corresponding second region in the event that a fourth input is received for the first region and the second region of at least one fourth image;

the fourth image is T, the fourth image comprises R second areas, the P, T, R are integers which are larger than or equal to 1, R values are the same or different for different fourth images, and the N images comprise the third image and the fourth image.

When associating the N images based on the shot content, the third image may be segmented to determine P first regions in response to a first input performed by a user on the third image after receiving the first input to the third image, where P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, that is, at least one first region may be obtained by segmenting the third image. After determining the P first regions, for each first region, upon receiving a fourth input performed on the current first region and a second region of at least one fourth image, associating the current first region with the corresponding second region (the second region receiving the fourth input), enabling association between regions of different images.

The number of the fourth images is T, T is an integer greater than or equal to 1, each first region may be associated with a second region of at least one fourth image of the T fourth images, each fourth image may include R second regions, R is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and values of R may be the same or different for different fourth images. For the condition that the values of R are the same, the number of the second regions corresponding to T fourth images can be the same. For each first region, in associating with the second region of the fourth image, an association may be made with at least one second region of each of the at least one fourth image. The associated N images comprise at least part of the images of the third image and of the T fourth images.

The process can realize the association between different areas of the image through the content association, and is convenient for a user to intercept the associated areas of different images on the basis of ensuring the image association. For example, the area association and the image association are implemented by automatically segmenting the third image through a first input (such as a long press or a double click) to the third image in the image list, segmenting the third image into at least one first area, dragging a certain first area to a second area of the fourth image, and associating the current first area corresponding to the third image with the current second area corresponding to the fourth image.

In the implementation process, the third image is divided to determine at least one first area, and the first area is associated with the second area of the fourth image, so that the third image and the fourth image can be associated based on the association between the image areas.

For the case of performing image association based on shot content, and in the case that the target image is a third image, in response to a second input, determining an image to be transmitted according to the target image and at least one image associated with the target image, the method includes one of the following schemes:

in response to a second input, determining at least partial images of at least one fourth image respectively corresponding to the third image and the at least one first area as images to be sent;

in response to a second input, for each of the at least one first region, image stitching the first region with at least part of the associated second regions to determine an image to be transmitted;

and in response to a second input, generating a first region image according to the first region for each of the at least one first region, and determining an image to be transmitted according to at least part of an image in at least one fourth image corresponding to each of the at least one first region image and the at least one first region image.

When determining the image to be transmitted according to the target image and the at least one image associated with the target image, one of the following three schemes may be included for the case where the target image is the third image.

When determining an image to be transmitted, in response to a second input to a target image (a third image), for each of at least one of P first regions corresponding to the third image, at least a portion of an image in at least one fourth image corresponding to the current first region may be obtained, and then the image to be transmitted may be determined according to the third image and the obtained fourth image corresponding to each first region. At this time, it is possible to directly determine the image to be transmitted based on the associated image.

When determining an image to be transmitted, for each of at least one of the P first regions, in response to a second input to the target image (a third image), image stitching may be performed on the current first region and at least a part of the associated second region (which may correspond to at least one fourth image), and the image to be transmitted is determined by performing image stitching on each of the at least one first region. At this time, the image to be transmitted may be determined based on the region association and the region stitching.

When determining an image to be transmitted, in response to a second input to a target image (a third image), for each of at least one of the P first regions, a first region image may be generated according to the first region to obtain at least one first region image, and then the image to be transmitted may be determined according to at least a partial image of the fourth image corresponding to the at least one first region image and each first region image. At this time, an image to be transmitted may be determined based on the region image and the fourth image.

For example, when the user does not want to send the entire associated image to the receiver, the user can intercept a certain first region of the third image, then automatically intercept the associated region of the associated image, and then perform image stitching to generate an image to be sent, as shown in fig. 7, the image a (the upper left image) and the image B (the upper right image) are associated images, where the girl and the boy are associated regions, and when the girl in the image a is intercepted, the user can automatically intercept the boy in the associated image B, and then stitch the images to generate an image C (the image located below the image a and the image B).

In the implementation process, when the target image is the third image, the associated image can be directly determined as the image to be transmitted according to the third image and the fourth image, the image to be transmitted is determined based on image stitching, or the image to be transmitted is determined based on the region image and the fourth image, various schemes are provided for determining the image to be transmitted, and the determination mode of the image to be transmitted is enriched, so that a user can select a proper scheme to determine the image to be transmitted.

For the case of performing image association based on shot content, and in the case that the target image is a fourth image, in response to a second input, determining an image to be transmitted according to the target image and at least one image associated with the target image, the method includes one of the following schemes:

in response to the second input, determining the target image and the third image as images to be transmitted;

responding to a second input, and carrying out image splicing on a second target area of the target image and a first target area of a third image to determine an image to be sent, wherein the second target area is associated with the first target area;

in response to a second input, a target image and a second region image are determined as an image to be transmitted, the second region image being generated based on a first target region of a third image, the first target region being associated with the target image.

When determining the image to be transmitted according to the target image and the at least one image associated with the target image, one of the following three schemes may be included for the case where the target image is the fourth image.

When determining the image to be transmitted, the target image and the third image may be determined as the image to be transmitted in response to the second input to the target image (fourth image), and at this time, it may be implemented to directly determine the image to be transmitted based on the associated image.

In determining the image to be transmitted, a second target region may be determined in the target image in response to a second input to the target image (a fourth image), the second target region being a region of the target image that is associated with a first region (a first target region, and the first target region may be at least one) in the third image. And after the second target area is determined, carrying out image splicing on the second target area and the first target area of the third image to determine an image to be sent. At this time, the image to be transmitted may be determined based on the region association and the region stitching.

When determining an image to be transmitted, a first target region associated with a target image (a fourth image) may be determined in the third image in response to a second input to the target image, the number of the first target regions may be at least one, at least one second region image is generated according to the first target region, and the second region image and the target image are determined as the image to be transmitted. At this time, an image to be transmitted may be determined based on the region image and the fourth image.

In the implementation process, when the target image is the fourth image, the associated image can be directly determined as the image to be transmitted according to the third image and the fourth image, the image to be transmitted is determined based on the region association and the region stitching, or the image to be transmitted is determined based on the region image and the fourth image, various schemes are provided for determining the image to be transmitted, the determination mode of the image to be transmitted is enriched, and therefore a user can select a proper scheme to determine the image to be transmitted.

In the implementation process of performing image association based on the shot content, the P first areas are obtained by dividing the third image, and for each first area, the first area is associated with the second area of the fourth image, so that the area association and the image association can be realized based on the image content, and a user can conveniently and quickly capture the associated area image. The third image and the fourth image are determined as the image to be sent, the image to be sent is determined based on the region association and the region splicing, or the image to be sent is determined based on the region image and the fourth image, so that the determination mode of the image to be sent is enriched.

In the above overall implementation process of the method for sending the associated images, through associating the N images, when receiving the second input to the target image in the N images, the image to be sent is determined according to the target image and at least one image associated with the target image, so that the multiple images can be quickly and simply selected to determine the image to be sent based on the input to the target image, and the receiver can conveniently and effectively view the images and quickly know the images based on the association between the images.

Furthermore, by performing image association of the N images based on at least one of shooting time and shooting content, the image association based on at least one parameter can be realized, and the image association mode is enriched; the N correlated images are determined as the images to be sent, so that the images to be sent are rapidly determined through simple and convenient operation of a user, and the user experience is improved; by setting the image label, the confusion of automatic image selection generated by a user can be avoided; by displaying the related series images in a superimposed manner, the series image tiling display is controlled based on a specific input performed by a user, and the display form of the series images is enriched.

By carrying out image association based on shooting time, a user can view the associated images based on time information, and by carrying out image association based on shooting contents, the user can conveniently view the detailed contents of the associated images, thereby avoiding the defect that the user needs to repeatedly switch and compare the association between the recalled images when viewing the images. The association between the area and the image and the association between the area and the area are realized based on the shooting content, so that the association between the image and the image is realized, the association of different forms of images based on the image content can be realized, and the association forms are enriched. The determination mode of the image to be transmitted is enriched by determining the associated image as the image to be transmitted, determining the image to be transmitted based on splicing, or determining the image to be transmitted based on the region image and the fourth image (also can be a marker image and a second image).
