近年来，手持相机的跟踪拍摄技术得到了较快发展，然而，在利用手持相机进行跟踪拍摄过程中，当跟踪目标的形状、光照条件、场景、位置产生变化时，容易影响跟踪拍摄的跟踪效果，进而导致跟踪目标丢失的问题。
鉴于上述技术方案中的不足，本申请实施例所提供的技术方案通过针对现有跟踪算法进行改善，可以提高跟踪搜索的精度，并提高跟踪拍摄的使用体验。
下面结合本发明实施例附图进一步说明本发明实施例具体实现。
实施例一
本申请实施例一提供一种基于跟踪目标的搜索方法，图1为本申请实施例一提供的基于跟踪目标的搜索方法的示意性流程图。
于本实施例中，上述基于跟踪目标的搜索方法可应用于各种拍摄设备或具有拍摄功能的任何电子设备，例如，可应用于口袋相机、运动相机、手持相机等便携式拍摄设备，也可应用于具有拍摄功能的智能手机、平板等电子设备，本发明对此不作限制。
如图所示，本申请实施例的基于跟踪目标的搜索方法主要包括以下步骤：
步骤S11，根据跟踪目标对应的跟踪区域的有效标识信息，确定第一搜索算法在第一图像帧中对应的一个第一搜索区域，并使用第一搜索算法在第一搜索区域进行搜索。
可选的，有效标识信息可用于标识跟踪区域的位置、形状、尺寸等识别特征，但并不以此为限，有效标识信息也可用于标识跟踪区域的其他识别特征，例如颜色、材质等。
可选的，跟踪区域为基于图像帧中的有效框所确定，其中，所述有效框用于识别跟踪目标在第一图像帧中的位置、形状及大小，其通常呈矩形，并可随着跟踪物体的远近大小产生相应变化(例如用于框住人脸的有效框，可跟随拍摄人脸的远近大小变化而产生相应变化)，且当有效框的位置及区域尺寸发生变化时，跟踪区域的中心位置及区域尺寸亦会随之相应调整。
于本实施例中，跟踪区域的中心位置为与有效框的中心点重合，而跟踪区域的区域尺寸则为有效框的区域尺寸的预定倍数。例如，跟踪区域的边长为有效框的4倍边长(即跟踪目标的4倍边长)。需说明的是，跟踪区域的中心位置及区域尺寸(即边长)也可根据实际需求而进行调整设置，本发明对此不作限制。
可选的，第一搜索算法用于以跟踪目标的当前所述位置为中心确定一个第一搜索区域，据以针对跟踪目标的主体部分进行搜索识别。
可选的，第一搜索区域的中心点与跟踪区域的中心位置重合，第一搜索区域的搜索范围与跟踪区域的区域尺寸相同或不相同，具体根据调整参数的取值而定。
关于第一搜索算法的具体实施手段将于后续的图2中予以详述。
较佳的，可针对连续的至少12帧第一图像帧各执行一次第一搜索算法(经测算，其总耗时大约为1秒)，但并不以此为限，也可根据实际需求，针对第一图像帧的帧数进行调整。
可选的，第一搜索算法在任意相邻两帧第一图像帧中对应生成的第一搜索区域的搜索范围大小为不相等，借以提高搜索精度。
步骤S12，根据跟踪目标对应的跟踪区域的有效标识信息，确定第二搜索算法在第二图像帧中对应的至少一个第二搜索区域，并使用第二搜索算法在第二搜索区域进行搜索。
其中，针对有效标识信息以及跟踪区域的定义，均与上述步骤S11中所述相同，在此不予赘述。
可选的，第二搜索算法用于在跟踪目标的周围区域确定至少一个第一搜索区域，以针对跟踪目标的周围部分进行搜索识别。
可选的，第二搜索区域的搜索面积与跟踪区域的区域面积相同，第二搜索区域的中心点与跟踪区域的中心位置不相同。
关于第二搜索算法的具体实施手段将于后续的图3中予以详述。
于一实施例中，所述第一图像帧和第二图像帧可以是帧号相同的图像帧(亦即图像序列中的相同图像帧)。例如，图像序列中的第3帧图像帧即是第一图像帧也是第二图像帧。
于另一实施例中，所述第一图像帧和第二图像帧也可以是同一图像序列中帧号不同的两个图像帧。例如，图像序列中的第3帧为第一图像帧，第4帧为 第二图像帧。
可选的，第一搜索算法(即步骤S11)和第二搜索算法(即步骤S12)的执行顺序可根据实际需求而调整。
于一实施例中，可在至少一次使用第一搜索算法在第一搜索区域进行搜索之后，再至少一次使用第二搜索算法在第二搜索区域进行搜索，于此情况下，第一图像帧与第二图像帧为帧号不同的图像帧。借由此种不同搜索算法的交替执行方式，可以提高计算机的处理效率。
例如，可在使用多次第一搜索算法针对图像序列中的多帧第一图像帧(例如第1帧至第12帧第一图像帧)进行搜索后，再使用多次第二搜索算法针对图像序列中后续的多帧第二图像帧(例如第13帧至第20帧第二图像帧)进行搜索。
于另一实施例中，可在使用第一搜索算法在第一搜索区域进行搜索的过程中，使用第二搜索算法在第二搜索区域进行搜索，于此情况下，第一图像帧与第二图像帧为帧数相同，通过针对同一图像帧同时使用两种搜索算法进行搜索，可以提高搜索的精度。
例如，可针对图像序列中的第3帧图像帧同时使用第一搜索算法和第二搜索算法进行搜索。
于又一实施例中，可针对图像序列中的每一帧图像帧使用一次第一搜索算法或一次第二搜索算法。举例而言，可每隔一帧交替一次搜索算法，亦即，针对图像序列中的第2帧图像帧使用第一搜索算法进行搜索，并针对图像序列中的第3帧图像帧使用第二搜索算法进行搜索。
综上所述，本申请实施例基于跟踪目标对应的跟踪区域的有效标识信息，并结合使用第一搜索算法和第二搜索算法进行搜索，可以提高搜索精度，降低跟踪丢失的概率。
实施例二
本申请实施例二提供了一种基于跟踪目标的搜索方法。请参考图2，本申请实施例描述了图1所示步骤S11中在第一图像帧中确定第一搜索区域的示例性处理流程。如图所示，本申请实施例的搜索方法主要包括以下：
步骤S21，根据跟踪区域的有效标识信息，确定在第一图像帧中跟踪区域的中心位置和区域尺寸。
于本实施例中，跟踪区域的有效标识信息用于标识跟踪区域的中心位置 (中心点)及区域尺寸，但不限于此，亦可用于标识跟踪区域的其他识别特征。
步骤S22，根据跟踪区域的中心位置和区域尺寸，确定在第一图像帧中第一搜索算法对应的第一搜索区域。
可选的，跟踪区域为矩形区域，第一搜索区域的边长为跟踪区域对应边长的n倍，其中，n为调整参数，第一搜索区域的中心点与跟踪区域的中心位置重合。
具体的，于本实施例中，基于跟踪区域所生成的第一搜索区域亦为矩形区域，其中，第一搜索区域的四个边长与跟踪区域的四个边长一一对应，例如，第一搜索区域的左右两侧边长对应为跟踪区域的左右两侧边长的n倍，第一搜索区域的上下两侧边长对应为跟踪区域的上下两侧边长的n倍，第一搜索区域的中心点即为跟踪区域的中心位置。
较佳的，|n-1|小于或等于0.3，也就是说，调整参数n对针对跟踪区域的区域尺寸的调整幅度(增加幅度或缩小幅度)不超过0.3倍。
可选的，可使用第一搜索算法针对图像序列中连续的多帧第一图像帧进行搜索，且相邻两个第一图像帧对应的调整参数的取值不同。
较佳的，可使用第一搜索算法可针对图像序列中连续的12帧第一图像帧进行搜索(每一帧搜索一次)。
较佳的，相邻两个第一图像帧对应的调整参数之间的差值不超过0.3，且放大调整参数(即取值大于1.0的调整参数)与缩小调整参数(即取值小于1.0的调整参数)为交替设置，不变调整参数(即取值等于1.0的调整参数)为任意设置，例如间隔设置在相邻的放大调整参数和缩小调整参数之间。
于一实施例中，可根据调整参数组{1.01.1,1.0,0.9,1.0,1.2,1.0,0.8,1.0,1.3,1.0,1.3}中的12个调整参数，依次针对图像序列中连续的12帧第一图像帧(例如第2帧至第13帧)中的每一帧各使用一次第一搜索算法进行搜索，其中，在第2帧中生成的第一搜索区域的边长为跟踪区域对应边长的1.0倍，在第3帧中生成的第一搜索区域的边长为跟踪区域对应边长的1.1倍，在第4帧中生成的第一搜索区域的边长为跟踪区域对应边长的1.0倍，在第5帧中生成的第一搜索区域的边长为跟踪区域对应边长的0.9倍，并以此类推。
需说明的是，调整参数组中调整参数的个数和排列顺序并不以上述实施例为限，可根据实际搜索需求进行调整。
综上所述，本申请实施例二利用第一搜索算法可在第一图像帧中生成与跟 踪区域具有相同中心点且不同区域尺寸的第一搜索区域并进行搜索，据以针对跟踪目标的主体部分进行搜索识别，从而提高搜索效率并提高搜索精度。
实施例三
本申请实施例三提供了一种基于跟踪目标的搜索方法。请参考图3，本申请实施例描述了图1所示步骤S12中在第二图像帧中确定第二搜索区域的示例性处理流程。如图所示，本申请实施例的搜索方法主要包括以下：
步骤S31，根据所述跟踪区域的所述有效标识信息，确定在所述第二图像帧中所述跟踪区域的中心位置和区域面积。
于本实施例中，跟踪区域的有效标识信息用于标识跟踪区域的中心位置(中心点)及区域面积，但不限于此，亦可用于标识跟踪区域的其他识别特征。
步骤S32，根据跟踪区域的中心位置和区域面积，确定在第二图像帧中第二搜索算法对应的第二搜索区域。
可选的，跟踪区域为矩形区域，第二搜索区域的搜索面积即为跟踪区域的区域面积。
可选的，可根据跟踪区域的区域面积，确定面积与跟踪区域的区域面积相同的正方形的边长，亦即，将跟踪区域的矩形区域面积转化成具有相同面积的正方形的边长a。
较佳的，相邻的两个第二搜索区域的中心点之间的最短距离可设置为正方形边长的0.3倍(即0.3a)，第二搜索区域的中心点与跟踪区域的中心位置之间的最短距离至少为正方形边长的0.3倍。但并不以此为限，一般而言，相邻的两个第二搜索区域的中心点之间的最短距离设置不超过正方形边长的0.5倍为佳。
于一实施例中，第二图像帧中第二搜索算法对应的第二搜索区域的确定过程包括：以跟踪区域的中心位置作为直角坐标系的原点，则第二搜索区域的中心点位于所述直角坐标系中(±0.3ma，±0.3m’a)的位置，其中，m和m’为整数，a为面积与跟踪区域的区域面积相同的正方形的边长。
例如，根据{(-0.3a,-0.3a),(0.0a,-0.3a),(0.3a,-0.3a),(0.3a,0.0a),(0.3a,0.3a),(0.3a,0.0a),(0.3a,-0.3a),(0.0a,-0.3a),(-0.6a,-0.6a)…}，可以得到第二图像帧中各个第二搜索区域的中心点位置(参考图4所示的各个小圆点位置)，并根据各第二搜索区域的中心点位置以及跟踪区域的区域面积，确定在第二图像帧中第二搜索算法对应的至少一个第二搜索区域。
其中，由图4可以看出，各第二搜索区域的中心点(即图4中的各小圆点)之间的最短距离为0.3a，各第二搜索区域的中心点(即图4中的各小圆点)与跟踪区域的中心位置(即有效框的中心点)之间的最短距离至少为0.3a。
综上所述，本申请实施例三利用第二搜索算法可在第二图像帧中生成多个位置不同但搜索面积相同的第二搜索区域，据以针对跟踪目标的周围部分进行搜索识别，从而提高搜索算法的精度。
实施例四

步骤S51，根据所述跟踪目标对应的跟踪区域的有效标识信息，确定在第三图像帧中所述跟踪区域的区域尺寸。
可选的，跟踪区域的有效标识信息用于标识跟踪区域的区域面积，但不限于此，亦可用于标识跟踪区域的其他识别特征。
步骤S52，根据跟踪区域的区域尺寸，确定在第三图像帧中第三搜索算法对应的第三搜索区域的区域尺寸，并随机在第三图像帧中确定第三搜索区域的中心点。
可选的，第三搜索区域的区域尺寸与跟踪区域的区域尺寸相同。
可选的，第三搜索区域的中心点为整张第三图像帧中的任意位置，第三搜索区域的数量为至少一个。
步骤S53，使用第三搜索算法在第三搜索区域进行搜索。
综上所述，第三搜索算法用于在第三图像帧的任意位置随机确定一个或多个第三搜索区域，并进行全局随机搜索，从而针对跟踪目标的主体部分、周围部分、背景部分中的一者进行搜索识别。
于一实施例中，第一搜索算法、第二搜索算法和第三搜索算法可为交替执行，对应的，第一图像帧、第二图像帧、第三图像帧的帧号均不相同。
于另一实施例中，第一搜索算法、第二搜索算法和第三搜索算法中任意两者为同时进行，对应的，第一图像帧、第二图像帧、第三图像帧中任意两者的帧号为相同。
于又一实施例中，第一搜索算法、第二搜索算法和第三搜索算法三者同时进行，对应的，第一图像帧、第二图像帧、第三图像帧的帧号均相同。
可选的，上述步骤S52亦可为：根据第三图像帧的区域尺寸，确定在第三 图像帧中第三搜索算法对应的第三搜索区域的区域尺寸，并将第三图像帧的中心位置确定为第三搜索区域的中心点，据以在第三图像帧中确定第三搜索算法对应的一个第三搜索区域(亦即，第三搜索区域即为整个第三图像帧)，并于步骤S53中使用第三搜索算法对整个第三图像帧进行全局搜索。
综上所述，本申请实施例四利用第三搜索算法在第三图像帧中的不同位置随机生成第三搜索区域并进行搜索，通过将第三搜索算法与前述第一搜索算法、第二搜索算法相结合，以进一步提高跟踪精度，降低目标跟丢的概率。

在一个实施例中，所述拍摄装置12包括云台支架和搭载于所述云台支架的拍摄器。所述拍摄器可以为相机，也可以为由透镜和图像传感器(如CMOS或CCD)等组成的摄像元件，具体可根据需要选择。所述拍摄器可以集成在云台支架上，从而拍摄装置12为云台相机；也可以为外部拍摄设备，可拆卸地连接或夹持而搭载于云台支架。
在一个实施例中，所述云台支架为三轴云台支架，而所述拍摄装置12为三轴云台相机。所述三轴云台支架包括偏航轴组件22、与所述偏航轴组件22活动连接的横滚轴组件23、以及与所述横滚轴组件23活动连接的俯仰轴组件24，所述拍摄器搭载于所述俯仰轴组件24。所述偏航轴组件22带动拍摄装置12沿偏航方向转动。当然，在其他例子中，所述云台支架也可以为两轴云台、四轴云台等，具体可根据需要选择。
在一个实施例中，还设置有安装部，安装部设置于与所述横滚轴组件连接的连接臂的一端，而偏航轴组件可以设置于所述手柄中，所述偏航轴组件带动拍摄装置12一起沿偏航方向转动。
在一可选的实施方式中，所述手柄11设有用于与移动设备2(如手机)耦合连接的转接件26，所述转接件26与所述手柄11可拆卸连接。所述转接件26自所述手柄11的侧部凸伸而出以用于连接所述移动设备2，当所述转接件26与所述移动设备2连接后，所述手持云台相机与所述转接件26对接并用于被支撑于所述移动设备2的端部。
在手柄11设置用于与移动设备2连接的转接件26，进而将手柄11和移 动设备2相互连接，手柄11可作为移动设备2的一个底座，用户可以通过握持移动设备2的另一端来一同把手持云台相机拿起操作，连接方便快捷，产品美观性强。此外，手柄11通过转接件26与移动设备2耦合连接后，能够实现手持云台相机与移动设备2之间的通信连接，拍摄装置12与移动设备2之间能够进行数据传输。
在一个实施例中，所述转接件26与所述手柄11可拆卸连接，即转接件26和手柄11之间可以实现机械方面的连接或拆除。进一步地，所述转接件26设有电接触部，所述手柄11设有与所述电接触部配合的电接触配合部。
这样，当手持云台相机不需要与移动设备2连接时，可以将转接件26从手柄11上拆除。当手持云台相机需要与移动设备2连接时，再将转接件26装到手柄11上，完成转接件26和手柄11之间的机械连接，同时通过电接触部和电接触配合部的连接保证两者之间的电性连接，以实现拍摄装置12与移动设备2之间能够通过转接件26进行数据传输。
在一个实施例中，所述手柄11的侧部设有收容槽27，所述转接件26滑动卡接于所述收容槽27内。当转接件26装到收容槽27后，转接件26部分凸出于所述收容槽27，转接件26凸出收容槽27的部分用于与移动设备2连接。
在一个实施例中，参见图9所示，所当述转接件26自所述转接件26装入所述收容槽27时，所述转接件26与所述收容槽27齐平，进而将转接件26收纳在手柄11的收容槽27内。
因此，当手持云台相机需要和移动设备2连接时，可以将转接件26装入所述收容槽27内，使得转接件26凸出于所述收容槽27，以便移动设备2与手柄11相互连接。
当移动设备2使用完毕后，或者需要将移动设备2拔下时，可以将转接件26从手柄11的收容槽27内取出，然后反向自所述转接件26装入所述收容槽27内，进而将转接件26收纳在手柄11内。转接件26与手柄11的收容槽27齐平当转接件26收纳在手柄11内后，可以保证手柄11的表面平整，而且将转接件26收纳在手柄11内更便于携带。
在一个实施例中，所述收容槽27是半开放式地开设在手柄11的一侧表面，这样更便于转接件26与收容槽27进行滑动卡接。当然，在其他例子中，转接件26也可以采用卡扣连接、插接等方式与手柄11的收容槽27可拆卸连接。
在一个实施例中，收容槽27设置于手柄11的侧面，在不使用转接功能 时，通过盖板28卡接覆盖该收容槽27，这样便于用户操作，同时也不影响手柄的正面和侧面的整体外观。
在一个实施例中，所述电接触部与电接触配合部之间可以采用触点接触的方式实现电连接。例如，所述电接触部可以选择为伸缩探针，也可以选择为电插接口，还可以选择为电触点。当然，在其他例子中，所述电接触部与电接触配合部之间也可以直接采用面与面的接触方式实现电连接。

至此，已经对本主题的特定实施例进行了描述。其它实施例在所附权利要求书的范围内。在一些情况下，在权利要求书中记载的动作可以按照不同的 顺序来执行并且仍然可以实现期望的结果。另外，在附图中描绘的过程不一定要求示出的特定顺序或者连续顺序，以实现期望的结果。在某些实施方式中，多任务处理和并行处理可以是有利的。
在20世纪90年代，对于一个技术的改进可以很明显地区分是硬件上的改进(例如，对二极管、晶体管、开关等电路结构的改进)还是软件上的改进(对于方法流程的改进)。然而，随着技术的发展，当今的很多方法流程的改进已经可以视为硬件电路结构的直接改进。设计人员几乎都通过将改进的方法流程编程到硬件电路中来得到相应的硬件电路结构。因此，不能说一个方法流程的改进就不能用硬件实体模块来实现。例如，可编程逻辑器件(Programmable Logic Device,PLD)(例如现场可编程门阵列(Field Programmable Gate Array，FPGA))就是这样一种集成电路，其逻辑功能由用户对器件编程来确定。由设计人员自行编程来把一个数字系统“集成”在一片PLD上，而不需要请芯片制造厂商来设计和制作专用的集成电路芯片。而且，如今，取代手工地制作集成电路芯片，这种编程也多半改用“逻辑编译器(logic compiler)”软件来实现，它与程序开发撰写时所用的软件编译器相类似，而要编译之前的原始代码也得用特定的编程语言来撰写，此称之为硬件描述语言(Hardware Description Language，HDL)，而HDL也并非仅有一种，而是有许多种，如ABEL(Advanced Boolean Expression Language)、AHDL(Altera Hardware Description Language)、Confluence、CUPL(Cornell University Programming Language)、HDCal、JHDL(Java Hardware Description Language)、Lava、Lola、MyHDL、PALASM、RHDL(Ruby Hardware Description Language)等，目前最普遍使用的是VHDL(Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language)与Verilog。本领域技术人员也应该清楚，只需要将方法流程用上述几种硬件描述语言稍作逻辑编程并编程到集成电路中，就可以很容易得到实现该逻辑方法流程的硬件电路。
控制器可以按任何适当的方式实现，例如，控制器可以采取例如微处理器或处理器以及存储可由该(微)处理器执行的计算机可读程序代码(例如软件或固件)的计算机可读介质、逻辑门、开关、专用集成电路(Application Specific Integrated Circuit，ASIC)、可编程逻辑控制器和嵌入微控制器的形式，控制器的例子包括但不限于以下微控制器：ARC 625D、Atmel AT91SAM、Microchip PIC18F26K20以及Silicone Labs C8051F320，存储器控制器还可以被实现为存 储器的控制逻辑的一部分。本领域技术人员也知道，除了以纯计算机可读程序代码方式实现控制器以外，完全可以通过将方法步骤进行逻辑编程来使得控制器以逻辑门、开关、专用集成电路、可编程逻辑控制器和嵌入微控制器等的形式来实现相同功能。因此这种控制器可以被认为是一种硬件部件，而对其内包括的用于实现各种功能的装置也可以视为硬件部件内的结构。或者甚至，可以将用于实现各种功能的装置视为既可以是实现方法的软件模块又可以是硬件部件内的结构。
上述实施例阐明的系统、装置、模块或单元，具体可以由计算机芯片或实体实现，或者由具有某种功能的产品来实现。一种典型的实现设备为计算机。具体的，计算机例如可以为个人计算机、膝上型计算机、蜂窝电话、相机电话、智能电话、个人数字助理、媒体播放器、导航设备、电子邮件设备、游戏控制台、平板计算机、可穿戴设备或者这些设备中的任何设备的组合。
本申请是参照根据本申请实施例的方法、设备(系统)、和计算机程序产品的流程图和/或方框图来描述的。应理解可由计算机程序指令实现流程图和/或方框图中的每一流程和/或方框、以及流程图和/或方框图中的流程和/或方框的结合。可提供这些计算机程序指令到通用计算机、专用计算机、嵌入式处理机或其他可编程数据处理设备的处理器以产生一个机器，使得通过计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备的处理器执行的指令产生用于实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和/或方框图一个方框或多个方框中指定的功能的装置。
这些计算机程序指令也可存储在能引导计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备以特定方式工作的计算机可读存储器中，使得存储在该计算机可读存储器中的指令产生包括指令装置的制造品，该指令装置实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和/或方框图一个方框或多个方框中指定的功能。
这些计算机程序指令也可装载到计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备上，使得在计算机或其他可编程设备上执行一系列操作步骤以产生计算机实现的处理，从而在计算机或其他可编程设备上执行的指令提供用于实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和/或方框图一个方框或多个方框中指定的功能的步骤。
还需要说明的是，术语“包括”、“包含”或者其任何其他变体意在涵盖非排他性的包含，从而使得包括一系列要素的过程、方法、商品或者设备不仅包括那些要素，而且还包括没有明确列出的其他要素，或者是还包括为这种过程、方法、商品或者设备所固有的要素。在没有更多限制的情况下，由语句 “包括一个……”限定的要素，并不排除在包括所述要素的过程、方法、商品或者设备中还存在另外的相同要素。
本领域技术人员应明白，本申请的实施例可提供为方法、系统或计算机程序产品。因此，本申请可采用完全硬件实施例、完全软件实施例或结合软件和硬件方面的实施例的形式。而且，本申请可采用在一个或多个其中包含有计算机可用程序代码的计算机可用存储介质(包括但不限于磁盘存储器、CD-ROM、光学存储器等)上实施的计算机程序产品的形式。
本申请可以在由计算机执行的计算机可执行指令的一般上下文中描述，例如程序模块。一般地，程序模块包括执行特定事务或实现特定抽象数据类型的例程、程序、对象、组件、数据结构等等。也可以在分布式计算环境中实践本申请，在这些分布式计算环境中，由通过通信网络而被连接的远程处理设备来执行事务。在分布式计算环境中，程序模块可以位于包括存储设备在内的本地和远程计算机存储介质中。
本说明书中的各个实施例均采用递进的方式描述，各个实施例之间相同相似的部分互相参见即可，每个实施例重点说明的都是与其他实施例的不同之处。尤其，对于系统实施例而言，由于其基本相似于方法实施例，所以描述的比较简单，相关之处参见方法实施例的部分说明即可。
以上所述仅为本申请的实施例而已，并不用于限制本申请。对于本领域技术人员来说，本申请可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本申请的精神和原理之内所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等，均应包含在本申请的权利要求范围之内。
