detailed description

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

In order to facilitate the description of the embodiments, the application scenarios of the embodiments in the present invention are briefly described below. Referring to FIG. 1, the scene includes a photographing device, a mobile terminal, and a server, and the mobile terminal may be a device such as a smart phone or a tablet. The photographing device has a photographing function, the mobile terminal can be wirelessly connected with the driving recorder, the photographing device and the mobile terminal can be communicably connected with the server, and the setting position and the shooting parameter photographed by the photographing device can be set by the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal saves and processes the photographing. The mobile terminal can also upload the photos taken by the camera to the server and process it by the server.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a flowchart illustrating a photographing method including the following steps, according to an exemplary embodiment.

In step S11, the set position of the shooting is determined.

Here, the location is determined by the following four methods:

The first is: the user manually sets the set position of the shot. The user can set the set position of the shooting on the electronic map of the interactive interface of the mobile terminal. For example, after the mobile terminal is communicatively connected with the photographing device, the user selects the position of the traffic light near the Yihua Financial Building of Xuefu Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen on the electronic map of the interactive interface as the set position of the shooting.

The second type is that the user encounters a special scene on the road and performs shooting. At this time, the position of the shooting can be obtained by the positioning of the GPS module of the shooting device or the mobile terminal, or the positioning can be obtained by network positioning. s position. After obtaining the location, the user can be asked on the interactive interface on the mobile terminal to select whether to set the location as a later shooting. When the user determines, the position obtained by the positioning at the time of the first shooting is taken as the set position.

The third type is that the user encounters a special scene on the road and performs shooting. At the same time, through the image recognition technology, the features of the photographed scene are recognized, and then similar scenes are searched according to the characteristics of the scene. When the photographing device finds a similar scene, the geographical position of the similar scene is recorded for the user to select whether to set to the set position.

The fourth type is: when the terminal is connected to the camera, the user searches the electronic map for a specific place name, building name or scene name, such as a bridge, a tall building, a landmark building, a seaside, a tunnel entrance, etc. The user can select these specific places, buildings or scenes according to the search results or select all of them by default. At this time, the photographing device records the geographical position of these places, buildings or scenes as the set position. When the user passes through these geographic locations, they are automatically taken. For example, if the user searches for "overpass", the position of all the overpasses will be displayed on the electronic map. The user can manually select the overpass to be photographed or select all the overpasses as the target by default. When the user passes the "overpass", the camera When it is detected that the user's location is close to the recorded geographical location, the shooting function is automatically turned on. Of course, you can also set common options such as bridges, high-rise buildings, landmark buildings, seaside, and tunnel openings on the electronic map for users to choose.

In step S12, the imaging device sets a setting condition for capturing at the set position.

Specifically, the setting conditions herein are set according to at least one of time, event, and environment.

For example, the setting condition may be that the shooting is performed 24 hours after the user last shot. For another example, the setting condition may be that the weather is taken when the weather is rainy. For another example, the setting condition may be that the illumination is weak, such as when shooting at dusk. For another example, the setting conditions may be taken when a traffic accident is recognized. For another example, the setting conditions may be shooting on holidays such as the Spring Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, or the National Day.

In step S13, when it is determined that the setting condition is satisfied, shooting is performed at the set position.

For example, if the setting condition is that the shooting is performed 24 hours after the user last shot, then when the user is in the set position, the time calculation unit can be used to compare whether the time interval with the last shooting is satisfied for 24 hours. If yes, take a picture at the set position. Of course, you can also set a time range for shooting, for example, between 8 am and 9 am every day.

For example, if the setting condition is that shooting is performed on a rainy day, when the user is in the set position, it is possible to judge whether it is rain or not by the weather forecasting or environmental monitoring module of the network.

For example, if the setting condition is that the shooting is performed when the lighting is weak, then when the user is in the set position, the light intensity can be judged by the light sensor.

In this embodiment, by setting the set position of the shooting, setting the setting condition for shooting at the set position, and when it is determined that the setting condition is satisfied, the shooting is performed at the set position, so that the user can select the shooting position. After that, the items are automatically collected according to the set conditions, and the opportunity of shooting is not missed, which brings a different experience to the user, and increases the entertainment and interest of the user.

Please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a photographing method according to another exemplary embodiment, and the photographing method includes the following steps.

In step S21, the set position of the shooting is determined.

Here, the location is determined by the following four methods:

The first is that the user manually sets the set position of the shot. The user can set the set position of the shooting on the electronic map of the interactive interface of the mobile terminal. For example, after the mobile terminal is communicatively connected with the photographing device, the user selects the position of the traffic light near the Yihua Financial Building of Xuefu Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen on the electronic map of the interactive interface as the set position of the shooting.

The second type is that the user encounters a special scene on the road and performs shooting. At the same time, the position of the shooting can be obtained by the positioning of the GPS device of the shooting device or the mobile terminal, or the positioning can be obtained through network positioning. position. After the obtained location, a dialog box may be popped up on the mobile terminal for the user to select whether to set the position as a later shooting. When the user determines, the position obtained by the positioning at the time of the first shooting is taken as the set position.

In step S22, setting conditions for photographing at the set position are set.

In step S23, the parameters of the shooting are preset.

Specifically, the parameters of the shooting include: filter, photo frame, custom note, watermark, geographic location, aperture size, shutter speed, sensitivity, focus, and metering. The user can adjust the shooting parameters according to the target and conditions of the shooting. The parameters of the shooting are not limited here, and can be adjusted according to specific needs.

For example, you can preset a festival-style filter when shooting for festivals such as the Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, or National Day. You can preset a commemorative location to add a custom watermark. In step S24, when it is determined that the setting condition is satisfied, shooting is performed at the set position.

Specifically, when it is determined that the setting condition is satisfied, the shooting is performed according to the preset shooting parameters at the set position.

In step S25, the photographed photographs are combined in the set order, and displayed in a dynamic map or video.

In this embodiment, the dynamic image may be a gif format picture or a flash small picture screen, etc., but is not limited to the two formats.

For example, the user-selected location is somewhere next to Shennan Avenue, where a building under construction can be photographed. If the user wants to take a picture of the change of the building, the setting condition for the user to set the shooting at this setting position is to take a picture between 8:00 and 9:00 every day. In this way, every morning from 8:00 to 9:00, as long as the user passes the set position, the building under construction can be photographed, and the obvious change of the building can be seen through comparison. When the building is completed, the user can combine the photos taken during the time according to the sequence of shooting time, then you can see the completion process of the building from the flat building to the completion of the whole building in the dynamic map, enhancing the user. Shooting fun.

In the present embodiment, by setting the set position of the photographing, setting conditions for photographing at the set position are set, and when it is determined that the set condition is satisfied, photographing is performed at the set position, and the photographed photographs are performed in the set order. Combine and display in the form of dynamic graph or video, which enables the user to automatically collect things according to the set dimensions, such as time dimension, after selecting the location of the shot. Get up and change the things through the dynamic graph display process, without missing the opportunity to shoot, giving users a different experience, increasing the entertainment and fun of the user's shooting.

Combine and display in the form of dynamic graph or video, which enables the user to automatically collect things according to the set dimensions, such as the time dimension, after selecting the location of the shot, and pass the changes of the things through the dynamic graph. The way to display processing, without missing the opportunity to shoot, to bring a different experience to the user, increasing the entertainment and fun of the user's shooting.

The principle of operation of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figures 1 through 5.

First, determine the set position of the shot. There are four ways to do this: The first way is that the user manually marks the settings. For example, when the mobile terminal is in communication with the camera, the user selects the side of the Shennan Avenue from Shekou to Futian on the electronic map of the interactive interface, and sets the position 100 meters from the Tencent Building.

The second way is: the user encounters a special scene on the road and performs shooting. At the same time, the location of the shooting can be obtained by the positioning of the GPS device of the shooting device or the mobile terminal, or the positioning can be obtained by network positioning. s position. After the obtained location, the user can be asked on the interactive interface on the mobile terminal to select whether to set the location as a later shooting. When the user determines, the position obtained by the positioning at the time of the first shooting is taken as the set position.

The third way is that the user encounters a special scene on the road and performs shooting. At the same time, through image recognition technology, the features of the photographed scene are identified, and then similar scenes are searched according to the characteristics of the scene. When the camera finds a similar scene, record the geographic location of the similar scene for use. Whether the user chooses to set to the set position. For example, the user photographed the bridge building on the road through the photographing device, and the photographing device recognizes the characteristics of the bridge through image recognition technology, and the terminal asks the user whether to use the bridge building as the target scene. If the user selects OK, the camera searches for a bridge-like building based on the characteristics of the bridge, and informs the user via the terminal that the position of the searched bridge-like building can be selected as the set position.

The fourth way is when the terminal is connected to the camera, the user searches the Internet for a specific local name, building name or scene name, such as a bridge, a tall building, a landmark building, a seaside, and a tunnel entrance. Etc., the user can select these specific places, buildings or scenes according to the search results or select all of them by default. At this time, the photographing device records the geographical locations of these places, buildings or scenes as the set positions. For example, if the user searches for "gas station" on the terminal, the location of all gas stations will be displayed on the electronic map, and the user can select the location of these gas stations as the set position. Then, the user sets the setting conditions for shooting. The setting condition can be set according to at least one of time, event, and environment. For example, the user can set to shoot every other day. Suppose the user selects a position about 100 meters away from Tencent Building as the set position for shooting, and records the time of shooting at the set position. When the set position is passed, it is judged whether it is separated by one day, and if so, Take a picture. It is also possible to set a specific weather such as rainy day to shoot. Or, set a holiday to shoot.

When it is judged that the preset condition is satisfied, shooting is performed. Of course, you can set the corresponding shooting parameters before shooting. For example, if you set the rainy day to shoot, you can adjust the lighting effects, such as the holiday shooting, you can set the subject of the shooting.

Finally, the captured photos are combined in the set order and displayed as a dynamic image or video. The invention can be combined according to the sequence of shooting time. For example, the shooting is taken once a day, and the shooting is taken continuously for one year, then the photos taken every day are composed into dynamic pictures according to the shooting time, so that Being able to see the changes in the photo landscape within a year. Some buildings are under construction, and a complete building can be built after a certain period of time. Through this function, you can see the changes from the beginning of construction to the completion of the building, greatly increasing the entertainment of shooting. Again Or, take the night of the bridge building, shooting from around the evening of the lunar calendar at around 8:00 every night, and combining them into a dynamic map, you can see the changes in the profit and loss of the moon with the bridge as a reference. Of course, it may not be a dynamic picture, but it may be a photo display of a single piece, which is freely combined by the user. It can also be a part of a photo, and finally stitched into a photo.

In addition, the combination of pictures or pictures is mainly to transmit the photographed photos or videos to the server through the mobile phone or the photographing device, and the server processes them according to the user's preset settings.

It is worth noting that the camera can be a driving recorder, a webcam, a motion camera, a panoramic camera or a video camera.
