Patent Description:
Due to an increasing proportion of a touch screen of a terminal in a front panel of the terminal, the terminal may adopt a design of integrating an image acquisition component into the touch screen.

There are two possible integration ways to integrate the image acquisition component into the touch screen. One is defining a small circular hole in a top area or a bottom area of the touch screen, and integrating the image acquisition component in a cavity formed by the small circular hole. The other is dividing a photosensitive element in the image acquisition component into a plurality of photosensitive pixels, and each photosensitive pixel is integrated into a black area of each display pixel in all or part of the display area of the touch screen, so that the image acquisition component and the touch screen are completely integrated into one body.

However, when the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen, the image acquisition component and the touch screen will be integrated into one body on vision, which makes it difficult for a user to identify the location of the image acquisition component when the terminal is in a front shooting mode, and thus provides a poor use experience for the user. <CIT> discloses a method for adjusting a photographing focus of a mobile terminal through a touch control panel. The method comprises: when the mobile terminal enters a camera application program and displaying a shooting preview interface on a display screen, receiving a focus adjustment starting instruction triggered by means of a user touching a touch control panel, and executing the focus adjustment starting instruction to display a focus indication bar on the display screen for prompting the degree of focus adjustment to the user; and when a finger of the user starts to move on the touch control panel, acquiring gesture touch sign generated due to an operation performed by the finger on the touch control panel; then determining a focus adjustment instruction corresponding to the gesture touch sign; adjusting a focus according to the focus adjustment instruction; and displaying an image acquired after the focus is adjusted on the shooting preview interface.

Implementations of the present disclosure provide a method and a device for displaying a shooting interface, and a terminal, which can solve a problem that a user cannot easily identify the location of the image acquisition component when the terminal is in the front shooting mode because the image acquisition component and the touch screen are integrated into one body on vision when the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen. The technical solution is as follows.

According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a method for displaying a shooting interface is provided. The method is applied to a terminal in which an image acquisition component is integrated into a touch screen of the terminal. The method includes the followings. A first operation signal is received, where the first operation signal is a signal configured to enable the image acquisition component to perform shooting. The image acquisition component is enabled according to the first operation signal. A shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen, where the shooting interface is provided with component location information which is prompt information configured to indicate a location of the image acquisition component.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a terminal is provided. The terminal includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores at least one instruction which is loaded and executed by the processor to implement the method for displaying a shooting interface according to the first aspect.

According to a further aspect of the present disclosure, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided. The storage medium stores at least one instruction which is loaded and executed by a processor to implement for displaying a shooting interface according to the first aspect.

The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in the implementations of the present disclosure include the followings.

The shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen, where the shooting interface is provided with the component location information, and the component location information is the prompt information configured to indicate the edge counter of the image acquisition component, which solves the problem that the user cannot easily identify the location of the image acquisition component when the terminal is in the front shooting mode because the image acquisition component and the touch screen are integrated into one body on vision when the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen of the terminal, and enables the user to clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component according to the component location information displayed on the shooting interface when using the image acquisition component of the terminal in which the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen, thereby facilitating the user to use the image acquisition component to aim at a target object for shooting when the terminal is in the front shooting mode.

Referring to <FIG> and <FIG>, a structural block diagram of a terminal <NUM> is illustrated according to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure. The terminal <NUM> may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an e-book, or the like. The terminal <NUM> in the present disclosure may include one or more of the following components: a processor <NUM>, a memory <NUM>, a touch screen <NUM>, and an image acquisition component <NUM>.

Among them, the CPU mainly deals with an operating system, user interfaces, and application programs, etc. The GPU is responsible for rendering and drawing contents required to be displayed by the touch screen <NUM>. The modem is configured to process wireless communication. It can be understood that the modem described above may also be implemented by a single chip without being integrated into the processor <NUM>.

The memory <NUM> may include a random access memory (RAM), or a read-only memory (ROM). Alternatively, the memory <NUM> includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The memory <NUM> may be used to store instructions, programs, codes, code sets, or instruction sets. The memory <NUM> may include a program storage area and a data storage area.

In the implementation, the memory <NUM> stores at least one instruction which is used to implement a method for displaying a shooting interface provided in the following method implementation when executed by the processor <NUM>.

Taking an Android® system as an example of the operating system, the programs and data stored in the memory <NUM> are illustrated in <FIG>. The memory <NUM> stores a Linux kernel layer <NUM>, a system runtime layer <NUM>, an application framework layer <NUM>, and an application layer <NUM>. The Linux kernel layer <NUM> provides underlying drivers for various hardware of the terminal <NUM>, such as a display driver, an audio driver, a camera driver, a Bluetooth® driver, a Wi-Fi° driver, a power management, etc. The system runtime layer <NUM> provides main feature support for the Android® system through some C / C ++ libraries. For example, SQLite library provides database support, OpenGL/ES library provides 3D drawing support, and Webkit library provides browser kernel support, etc. An Android runtime library is also provided in the system runtime library layer <NUM>, which mainly provides some core libraries, allowing developers to use Java language to write Android® applications. The application framework layer <NUM> provides various application programming interfaces (APIs) that may be used in building application programs. Developers can also use these APIs to build their own application programs, such as activity management, window management, view management, notification management, content providers, package management, call management, resource management, location management, etc. At least one application program is running in the application layer <NUM>. These application programs may be programs provided by the operating system, such as a contact program, a SMS program, a clock program, a camera application, etc., or programs developed by third-party developers, such as an instant communication program, a photo beautification program, etc..

Taking an IOS° system as an example of the operating system, the programs and data stored in the memory <NUM> are illustrated in <FIG>. The IOS° system includes a core operating system layer <NUM> (Core OS layer), a core service layer <NUM>, a media layer <NUM>, and a touchable layer <NUM> (Cocoa Touch Layer). The core operating system layer <NUM> includes an operating system kernel, driver programs, and underlying program frameworks. These underlying program frameworks provide functions closer to the hardware for use by program frameworks located in the core service layer <NUM>. The core service layer <NUM> provides system services and/or program frameworks required by application programs, such as a foundation framework, an account framework, an advertising framework, a data storage framework, a network connection framework, a geographic location framework, a motion framework, and the like. The media layer <NUM> provides audio-visual-related interfaces for application programs, such as graphics and image related interfaces, audio technology related interfaces, video technology related interfaces, AirPlay interfaces of audio and video transmission technology, and the like. The touchable layer <NUM> provides various commonly used interface related frameworks for application development. The touchable layer <NUM> is responsible for the user's touch interaction operations on the terminal <NUM>, such as a local notification service, a remote push service, an advertising framework, a game tool framework, a message user interface (UI) framework, a user interface UIKit framework, a map framework, and the like.

In the frameworks illustrated in <FIG>, the frameworks related to most applications include, but are not limited to, a basic framework in the core service layer <NUM> and the UIKit framework in the touchable layer <NUM>. The basic framework provides many basic object classes and data types, to provide the most basic system services for all application programs, regardless of the UI. The classes provided by the UIKit framework are basic UI class libraries for creating touch-based user interfaces. IOS application programs can provide UIs based on the UIKit framework, so it provides the application programs infrastructure for building user interfaces, drawing, handling user interaction events, responding to gestures, and the like.

The touch screen <NUM> is configured to receive touch operations performed on or near the touch screen <NUM> by the user using any suitable object such as a finger, a touch pen, etc., and display the user interface of each application program. The touch screen <NUM> is usually arranged on a front panel of the terminal <NUM>. The touch screen <NUM> may be designed as a full screen, a curved screen or a special-shaped screen. The touch screen <NUM> may also be designed as a combination of a full screen and a curved screen, or a combination of a special-shaped screen and a curved screen, which is not limited in this implementation.

The full screen may refer to a screen design in which a screen ratio of the touch screen <NUM> occupying the front panel of the terminal <NUM> exceeds a threshold value (such as <NUM>% or <NUM>% or <NUM>%). One calculation method of the screen ratio is: (area of the touch screen <NUM> / area of the front panel of the terminal <NUM>) * <NUM>%. Another calculation method of the screen ratio is: (area of actual display area in the touch screen <NUM>) / the area of the front panel of the terminal <NUM>) * <NUM>%. Another calculation method of the screen ratio is: (diagonal length of the touch screen <NUM> / diagonal length of the front panel of the terminal <NUM>) * <NUM>%. In a schematic example illustrated in <FIG>, almost all areas on the front panel of the terminal <NUM> are covered by the touch screens <NUM>. That is, the area on the front panel <NUM> of the terminal <NUM> except the edges caused by the middle frame <NUM> is covered by the touch screen <NUM>. The four corners of the touch screen <NUM> may be right angles or rounded corners.

The full screen may also refer to a screen design in which at least one front panel component is integrated within or below the touch screen <NUM>. Alternatively, the at least one front panel component includes a camera, a fingerprint sensor, a proximity light sensor, a distance sensor, and the like. In some implementations, other components on the front panel of a conventional terminal are integrated in all or part of the area of the touch screen <NUM>. For example, a photosensitive element in the camera is divided into a plurality of photosensitive pixels, and each photosensitive pixels is integrated into a black area of each display pixel of the touch screen <NUM>. Since the at least one front panel component is integrated inside the touch screen <NUM>, the full screen has a higher screen ratio.

Of course, in other implementations, the front panel components on the front panel of the conventional terminal can also be arranged on a side or a back of the terminal <NUM>. For example, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is arranged under the touch screen <NUM>, a bone conduction type earphone is arranged inside the terminal <NUM>, and the camera is arranged at the side of the terminal and is set as a pluggable structure.

In some optional implementations, when the terminal <NUM> adopts a full screen, a single side, two sides (such as left and right sides), or four sides (such as upper, lower, left, and right sides) of the middle frame of the terminal <NUM> are provided with edge touch sensors, which are configured to detect at least one kind of operation performed by the user on the middle frame, such as touch operations, click operations, press operations, slide operations, and the like. The edge touch sensor may be any one of a touch sensor, a thermal sensor, a pressure sensor, and the like. The user can apply an operation on the edge touch sensor to control the application programs in the terminal <NUM>.

The curved screen refers to a screen design in which the screen area of the touch screen <NUM> is not in a plane. Generally, there is at least one cross section in the curved screen: the cross section has a curved shape, and a projection of the curved screen on any plane perpendicular to the cross section is a plane. The curved shape may be U-shaped. Alternatively, the curved screen refers to a screen design in which at least one side of the touch screen is curved. Alternatively, the curved screen refers to that at least one side of the touch screen <NUM> extends to cover the middle frame of the terminal <NUM>. Since the side of the touch screen <NUM> extends to cover the middle frame of the terminal <NUM>, that is, the middle frame which does not have a display function and a touch function is covered as a displayable area and/or an operable area, so that the curved screen has a higher screen ratio. Alternatively, in the example illustrated in <FIG>, the curved screen refers to a screen design in which the left and right sides <NUM> of the touch screen <NUM> are curved; or, the curved screen refers to a screen design in which the upper and lower sides of the touch screen <NUM> are curved; or, the curved screen refers to a screen design with curved shape on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the touch screen. In an alternative implementation, the curved screen is made of a touch screen material having flexibility.

The special-shaped screen refers to a touch screen with an irregular shape. The irregular shape is not a rectangle or a rounded rectangle. Alternatively, the special-shaped screen refers to a screen design in which protrusions, notches, and/or holes are provided on the touch screen <NUM> having a rectangular or rounded rectangular shape. Alternatively, the protrusions, the notches and/or the holes can be located at the edge of the touch screen <NUM>, the center of the touch screen, or both of the edge and the center of the touch screen <NUM>. When the protrusions, notches and/or holes are arranged on one edge, they can be arranged at a middle position or both ends of the edge. When the protrusions, notches and/or holes are arranged in the center of the screen, they can be arranged in one or more areas of the screen, such as the upper area, the upper left area, the left area, the lower left area, the lower area, the lower right area, the right area, and the upper right area. When arranged in multiple areas, the protrusions, notches and holes can be distributed in a centralized or distributed manner; they can be distributed symmetrically or asymmetrically. Alternatively, the number of the protrusions, notches and/or dig holes is not limited.

In the special-shaped screen, since the upper forehead area and/or the lower forehead area of the touch screen are covered as a displayable area and/or an operable area, so that the touchscreen display takes up more space on the front panel of the terminal, so the special-shaped screen also has a greater screen ratio. In some implementations, the notches and/or holes are configured to accommodate at least one front panel component, which includes at least one of a camera, a fingerprint sensor, a proximity light sensor, a distance sensor, a handset, an ambient light brightness sensor, or a physical button.

For example, the notches may be provided on one or more edges of the touch screen <NUM>, and the notch may be a semi-circular notch, a right-angled rectangular notch, a rounded rectangular notch, or an irregularly-shaped notch. In a schematic example illustrated in <FIG>, the special-shaped screen may refer to a screen design in which a semi-circular notch <NUM> is provided in the middle of the upper edge of the touch screen <NUM>. The space vacated by the semi-circular notch <NUM> is configured to accommodate at least one front panel component of the camera, the distance sensor (also known as a proximity sensor), the handset, and the ambient light brightness sensor. In a schematic example illustrated in <FIG>, the special-shaped screen may refer to a screen design in which a semi-circular notch <NUM> is provided in the middle of the lower edge of the touch screen <NUM>. The space vacated by the semi-circular notch <NUM> is configured to accommodate at least one component of a physical button, a fingerprint sensor, and a microphone. In a schematic example illustrated in <FIG>, the special-shaped screen may refer to a screen design in which a semi-elliptical notch <NUM> is provided in the middle of the lower edge of the touch screen <NUM>, and a semi-elliptical notch is also provided on the front panel of the terminal <NUM>. Two semi-elliptical notches are enclosed into an elliptical area, which is configured to accommodate a physical button or a fingerprint recognition module. In a schematic example illustrated in <FIG>, the special-shaped screen may refer to a screen design in which at least one small hole <NUM> is provided in the upper half of the touch screen <NUM>. The space vacated by the small hole <NUM> is configured to accommodate at least one front panel component of the camera, the distance sensor, the handset, and the ambient light brightness sensor.

In addition, those skilled in the art may understand that the structure of the terminal <NUM> illustrated in the above drawings does not constitute a limitation of the terminal <NUM>. The terminal may include more or fewer components than that illustrated in the figures, or combine some components, or have different component arrangements. For example, the terminal <NUM> may further includes components such as a radio frequency circuit, an input unit, a sensor, an audio circuit, a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi®) module, a power supply, a Bluetooth module, and the like, which will not be described herein again.

A brief introduction of several terms involved in the present disclosure is first given below.

Android® operating system: a Linux-based free and open source operating system produced by Google Inc. of the United States, which is mainly used in mobile devices.

Application program ("application" for short): in the Android® operating system, an application usually includes at least one program component. There are four kinds of program components: activity components, service components, content provider components and broadcast receiver components.

An implementation of the present disclosure provides a method for displaying a shooting interface. The method is applied to a terminal in which an image acquisition component is integrated into a touch screen of the terminal. The method includes the followings. A first operation signal is received, where the first operation signal is a signal configured to enable the image acquisition component to perform shooting. The image acquisition component is enabled according to the first operation signal. A shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen, where the shooting interface is provided with component location information which is prompt information configured to indicate a location of the image acquisition component.

There are two ways adopted by the terminal to integrate the image acquisition component on the touch screen. One is that, a hole is defined in the top area or the bottom area of the touch screen, and the image acquisition component is integrated in the cavity formed by the hole. The other is that, the photosensitive element in the image acquisition component is divided into a plurality of photosensitive pixels, and each photosensitive pixel is integrated into a black area of each display pixel of all or part of the display area of the touch screen, so that the image acquisition component and the touch screen are completely integrated into one body. Illustratively, in the following implementations, the image acquisition component of the terminal is integrated in the touch screen in one of the above two ways for illustration. It should be noted that, in the present disclosure, the "first operation signal" may refer to a shoot signal input by a user when the terminal is in a front shooting mode. The "image acquisition component" may refer to a camera module that faces the user and is configured to shoot when the terminal is in the front shooting mode.

<FIG> is a flowchart of a method for displaying a shooting interface according to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure. The method for displaying a shooting interface can be applied to a terminal in which an image acquisition component is integrated into a touch screen. The method for displaying a shooting interface includes the following actions at blocks illustrated in <FIG>.

At block <NUM>, the terminal receives a first operation signal, where the first operation signal is a signal configured to enable the image acquisition component to perform shooting.

The user performs a first operation on the terminal. The first operation may be a sliding operation on the touch screen, a pressing operation on a physical button component of the terminal, or a clicking operation on an application icon on the touch screen related to the image acquisition component. For example, the application may be a shooting application, an online video call application, or a live video application.

After the user performs the first operation on the terminal, the CPU in the terminal receives the first operation signal. The first operation signal may be a sliding signal generated by the touch screen according to the user's sliding operation, or a pressing signal generated by the physical button component according to the user's pressing operation, or a pressing signal generated by the touch screen according to the user's click operation.

The touch screen or the physical button component reports the first operation signal to the CPU.

At block <NUM>, the terminal enables the image acquisition component according to the first operation signal.

After receiving the first operation signal, a CPU in the terminal sends an instruction to the image acquisition component, where the instruction is configured to instruct the image acquisition component to start. After receiving the instruction from the terminal, the image acquisition component starts and enters a working mode.

At block <NUM>, the terminal displays a shooting interface on the touch screen. The shooting interface is provided with component location information (i.e., a component location mark) which is prompt information (i.e., a prompt mark) configured to indicate an edge contour/the location of the image acquisition component.

When the image acquisition component is enabled, the terminal displays the shooting interface on the touch screen. The shooting interface may be a user interface of a shooting application, a user interface of an online video call application, or a user interface of a live video application.

When the shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen, the component location information is displayed on the shooting interface. The component location information is located at the edge of the image acquisition component. The user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the component location information.

Illustratively, the technical solution of the present disclosure is described in detail by taking the user interface of the shooting application as an example.

<FIG> are schematic diagrams of a user interface of the shooting application according to an implementation of the present disclosure. As illustrated in the figures, the shooting application interface contains component location information, a shooting mark <NUM>, a switching mark <NUM> of image acquisition components, a photo preview mark <NUM>, a shooting parameter mark <NUM>, an effect mark <NUM>, a flash mark <NUM>, and a high-dynamic range (HDR) mark <NUM>. In the exemplary implementation, the terminal <NUM> further includes a rear image acquisition component (not illustrated).

In an exemplary implementation, as illustrated in <FIG>, a hole 509a is defined on the touch screen <NUM>, and an image acquisition component is integrated in a cavity formed by the hole 509a. The component location information is a contour mark 501a.

When the image acquisition component is enabled, the contour mark 501a is displayed on the edge of the hole 509a, so that the user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the contour mark 501a.

In an exemplary implementation, as illustrated in <FIG>, the hole 509a is defined on the touch screen <NUM>, and the image acquisition component is integrated in the cavity formed by the hole 509a. The component location information is a location mark 501b. In the exemplary implementation, the location mark 501b is illustrated as a arrow.

When the image acquisition component is enabled, the location mark 501b is displayed on the periphery of the hole 509a, and the location mark 501b points to the hole 509a, so that the user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the location mark 501b.

In an exemplary implementation, as illustrated in <FIG>, the photosensitive element in the image acquisition component is divided into a plurality of photosensitive pixels, and each photosensitive pixel is integrated into a black area of each display pixel in a predetermined area 509b, so that the image acquisition component and the touch screen are completely integrated into one body. The component location information is a contour mark 501c.

When the image acquisition component is enabled, the contour mark 501c is displayed on the edge of the predetermined area 509b, so that the user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the contour mark 501c.

In an exemplary implementation, as illustrated in <FIG>, the photosensitive element in the image acquisition component is divided into a plurality of photosensitive pixels, and each photosensitive pixel is integrated into a black area of each display pixel in the predetermined area 509b, so that the image acquisition component and the touch screen are completely integrated into one body. The component location information is a location mark 501d. In the exemplary implementation, the location mark 501d is illustrated as an arrow.

In the shooting application interface, a shooting operation may be finished by the user clicking the shooting mark <NUM>; a working image acquisition component may be switched to another image acquisition component by the user clicking the switching mark <NUM> of the image acquisition components, for example, a rear image acquisition component is currently in use, when the switching mark <NUM> of the image acquisition components is clicked, the rear image acquisition component stops working, and a front image acquisition component starts to work; photos may be previewed by the user clicking the photo preview mark <NUM> to enter a photo preview mode; shooting parameters may be selected by the user clicking the shooting parameter mark <NUM>, where the shooting parameters can be an aperture value, a shutter value, an exposure value, a sensitivity value, etc.; shooting effects, such as a black and white mode, an old photo mode, a film simulation mode, etc., may be selected by the user clicking the effect mark <NUM>; flash working modes, such as a mode for forcibly turning on the flash, a mode for automatically turning on the flash, a mode for turning off the flash, etc., may be selected by the user clicking the flash mark <NUM>; HDR modes, such as an on mode of the HDR, an auto mode of the HDR, an off mode of the HDR, etc., may be selected by the user clicking the HDR mark <NUM>.

In summary, in the method for displaying a shooting interface provided in the implementation, the shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen of the terminal, where the shooting interface is provided with the component location information, and the component location information is the prompt information configured to indicate the location of the image acquisition component, which solves the problem that the user cannot easily identify the location of the image acquisition component when the terminal is in the front shooting mode because the image acquisition component and the touch screen are integrated into one body on vision when the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen of the terminal, and enables the user to clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component according to the component location information displayed on the shooting interface when using the image acquisition component of the terminal in which the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen, thereby facilitating the user to use the image acquisition component to aim at a target object for shooting when the terminal is in the front shooting mode.

<FIG> is a flowchart of a method for displaying a shooting interface according to the invention. The method for displaying a shooting interface can be applied to a terminal in which an image acquisition component is integrated into a touch screen. The touch screen of the terminal is provided with a hole, and the image acquisition component is integrated into a cavity formed by the hole. The method for displaying a shooting interface includes the following actions at blocks illustrated in <FIG>.

After receiving the first operation signal, a CPU in the terminal sends an instruction to the image acquisition component, where the instruction is configured to instruct the image acquisition component to start. After receiving the instruction from the terminal, the image acquisition component starts and enters a working mode, and the process goes to the actions at block 603a or block 603b.

At block 603a, the terminal displays a first shooting interface on the touch screen. The first shooting interface is provided with component location information which is displayed around an edge contour of the hole.

When the image acquisition component is enabled, the terminal displays the first shooting interface on the touch screen. The first shooting interface may be a user interface of a shooting application, or a user interface of an online video call application, or a user interface of a live video application.

When the first shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen, the component location information is displayed on the first shooting interface. The component location information is displayed around the edge contour of the hole. The component location information is prompt information configured to indicate the edge contour of the hole. The user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the component location information.

In an exemplary implementation, the first shooting interface is a user interface of the shooting application illustrated in <FIG>. As illustrated in the figure, the hole 509a is defined on the touch screen <NUM>. The image acquisition component is integrated into the cavity formed by the hole 509a. The component location information is the contour mark 501a, and the contour mark 501a is displayed around the edge of the hole 509a. The user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the contour mark 501a.

At block 603b, the terminal displays the first shooting interface on the touch screen. The first shooting interface is provided with component location information which is located at the periphery of a location of the hole and points to the location of the hole.

When the image acquisition component is enabled, the terminal displays the first shooting interface on the touch screen. The first shooting interface may be the user interface of the shooting application, or the user interface of the online video call application, or the user interface of the live video application.

When the first shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen, the component location information is displayed on the first shooting interface. The component location information is located at the periphery of the location of the hole and points to the location of the hole. The user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the component location information.

In an exemplary implementation, the first shooting interface is the user interface of the shooting application illustrated in <FIG>. As illustrated in the figure, the hole 509a is defined on the touch screen <NUM>. The image acquisition component is integrated into the cavity formed by the hole 509a. The component location information is the location mark 501b, and the location mark 501b is located at the periphery of the location of the hole 509a and points to the location of the hole 509a. The user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the location mark 501b.

<FIG> is a cross-sectional view of a touch screen which uses a hole to integrate the image acquisition component. As illustrated, the touch screen <NUM> is provided with the hole 509a, the image acquisition component <NUM> is arranged in a cavity <NUM> formed by the hole 509a, and the image acquisition component <NUM> and the touch screen <NUM> are integrated into one body on vision.

At block <NUM>, the terminal acquires shooting parameters. The shooting parameters include at least one of an aperture value, a shutter value, an exposure value, focus information, or a sensitivity value.

The terminal may acquire the shooting parameters through a built-in program. The shooting parameters may be at least one of the aperture value, the shutter value, the exposure value, the focus information, or the sensitivity value.

An aperture is a device used to control the amount of light that passes through lens and enters the photosensitive element. For the image acquisition component arranged in the terminal, it is usually provided no adjustable physical aperture. Therefore, the aperture in the terminal is the result of simulation by the built-in program, which corresponds to the light flux and depth of field of the image acquisition component. The greater the light flux of the image acquisition component, the less the aperture value; and the less the light flux, the greater the aperture value. The shallower the depth of field of the image acquisition component, the less the aperture value; and the deeper the depth of field, the greater the aperture value.

Shutter speed is a physical quantity related to exposure time. The faster the shutter speed, the shorter the exposure time; and the slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time. At the same time, the shutter value is inversely proportional to the shutter speed. The greater the shutter value, the slower the shutter speed; and the less the shutter value, the faster the shutter speed.

Sensitivity is the speed at which the photosensitive element responds to light. The higher the sensitivity value, the faster the speed at which the photosensitive element responds to light.

The focus information reflects the sharpness of the image of a focusing area. For example, the terminal determines whether the sharpness of the image of the focusing area is the highest according to the image information collected by the image acquisition component. If so, it's determined that the focusing is successful.

The exposure value corresponds to a combination of shooting parameters. The greater the exposure value, the combination of the shooting parameters is adjusted in a brighter direction of the photo; the less the exposure value, the combination of the shooting parameters is adjusted in a dimmer direction of the photo.

At block 605a, the terminal determines a display size of the component location information according to the shooting parameters.

The terminal adjusts the display size of the component location information according to the acquired parameters. For example, when the aperture value is less than a fourth threshold value and the corresponding aperture is bigger, bigger component location information is displayed; when the aperture value is greater than the fourth threshold value and the corresponding aperture is smaller, smaller component location information is displayed. When the shutter value is greater than a first threshold value, the bigger component location information is displayed; when the shutter value is less than the first threshold value, the smaller component location information is displayed. When the exposure value is greater than a second threshold value, the bigger component location information is displayed; when the exposure value is less than the second threshold value, the smaller component location information is displayed. When there is no focusing, the smaller component location information is displayed; when the focusing is successful, the bigger component location information is displayed. When the sensitivity value is greater than a fifth threshold value, the bigger component location information is displayed; when the sensitivity value is less than the fifth threshold value, the smaller component location information is displayed.

Illustratively, the method for controlling shooting parameters is described in detail by taking the user interface of the shooting application as an example.

<FIG> shows a schematic diagram of a method for controlling shooting parameters according to an implementation of the present disclosure. In the present implementation, the component location information is the contour mark 501a.

As illustrated in the left figure of <FIG>, the user interface of the shooting application is displayed on the touch screen <NUM>. The user interface contains the contour mark 501a and the shooting parameter mark <NUM>.

Taking the shooting parameter mark <NUM> being an aperture value mark as an example, when the user clicks the shooting parameter mark <NUM> to select the aperture value mark, the user can use a finger to slide on the touch screen <NUM>, and the touch screen <NUM> generates a sliding signal according to the user's sliding operation. The sliding signal is the second operation signal mentioned above. The touch screen <NUM> reports the second operation signal to the CPU in the terminal, and then the CPU adjusts the aperture value according to the second operation signal. If the aperture value becomes greater, as illustrated in the right figure of <FIG>, the aperture icon corresponding to the aperture value mark <NUM> is displayed as a large aperture icon. At the same time, the contour mark 501a will also becomes bigger and its contour line will become thicker accordingly.

Similarly, when the shooting parameter selected by the user is the exposure value, the shutter value, or the sensitivity value, if a slide operation is performed on the touch screen <NUM>, the touch screen <NUM> generates a slide signal according to the user's slide operation, and the slide signal is a third operation signal or a fourth operation signal. The touch screen <NUM> reports the third operation signal or the fourth operation signal to the CPU in the terminal, and the CPU adjusts the exposure value, the shutter value, or the sensitivity value according to the third operation signal or the fourth operation signal reported by the touch screen <NUM>. The size and/or the thickness of the contour line of the contour mark 501a are also changed as the exposure value, the shutter value, or the sensitivity value changes.

Similarly, when the component location information is a location mark, the size of the location mark can also be changed by changing the shooting parameters.

It should be noted that the above determination of the size of the component location information according to the shooting parameters, and the selection of the shooting parameters by clicking the shooting parameter marks and then changing operating parameters by sliding operations are only exemplary, and are not limited to this in practical applications.

At block 605b, the terminal determines a display color of the component location information according to the shooting parameters.

The terminal adjusts the color of the component location information according to the acquired parameters.

For example, when the aperture value is less than a fourth threshold value and the corresponding aperture is bigger, the component location information is displayed in a bright color. When the aperture value is greater than the fourth threshold value and the corresponding aperture is smaller, the component location information is displayed in a dim color. Since the light flux of the image acquisition component is greater when the aperture is bigger, so a bright color is configured to remind the user that the aperture is bigger and the light flux is greater at this time. Correspondingly, since the light flux of the image acquisition component is less when the aperture is smaller, so a dim color is configured to remind the user that the aperture is smaller and the light flux is less at this time.

When the shutter value is greater than a first threshold value, the component location information is displayed in a dim color. When the shutter value is less than the first threshold value, the component location information is displayed in a bright color. Since the shutter speed is slower when the shutter value is greater, and hand-held shooting may easily lead to unclear photos, so a dim color is configured to remind the user that the shutter speed is slower at this time and photos taken at this time are likely blurred. Since the shutter speed is faster when the shutter value is less, so a bright color is configured to indicate that the shutter speed is faster at this time and it is safe to shoot.

When the exposure value is greater than a second threshold value, the component location information is displayed in a bright color. When the exposure value is less than the second threshold value, the component location information is displayed in a dim color. Since the photos taken when the exposure value is greater are generally brighter, so a bright color is configured to remind the user that the exposure value is greater at this time and photos taken at this time will be brighter. Correspondingly, since the photo taken when the exposure value is less are generally dimmer, so a dim color is configured to remind the user that the exposure value is less at this time and photos taken at this time will be dimmer.

When the focusing fails, the component location information is displayed in a dim color to remind the user that the focusing has not been successful and it is not suitable for shooting. When the focusing is successful, the component location information is displayed in a bright color to remind the user that the focusing has been successful and it is suitable for shooting.

When the sensitivity value is greater than a fifth threshold value, the component location information is displayed in a dim color. When the sensitivity value is less than the fifth threshold value, the component location information is displayed in a bright color. Since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is greater have more noise points, so a dim color is configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is greater and image quality will be poor. Correspondingly, since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is less have fewer noise points, so a bright color is configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is less and image quality will be better.

In the above implementation, the color of the component location information may be different depending on the shooting parameters.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned determination of the display color of the component location information according to the shooting parameters is merely exemplary, and is not limited to this in practical applications.

Same as the action at block 605a, at block 605b, the shooting parameters can be controlled according to the user's operation. For example, after clicking to select a shooting parameter, the value of the shooting parameter can be changed by sliding. At the same time, the display color of the component location information changes with the change of the shooting parameter.

At block 605c, the terminal determines a display shape of the component location information according to the shooting parameters.

The terminal adjusts the display shape of the component location information according to the acquired parameters.

For example, when the aperture value is less than a fourth threshold value and the corresponding aperture is bigger, the contour lines of the component location information are displayed in dotted lines. When the aperture value is greater than the fourth threshold value and the corresponding aperture is smaller, the component location information is displayed in solid lines. Since the photos taken when the aperture is bigger have shallower depth of field, so dotted lines representing blur are configured to remind the user that the aperture is bigger and the light flux is greater at this time. Correspondingly, since the photos taken when the aperture is smaller have deeper depth of field, so solid lines representing clear are configured to remind the user that the aperture is smaller and the light flux is less at this time.

When the shutter value is greater than a first threshold value, the component location information is displayed in dotted lines. When the shutter value is less than the first threshold value, the component location information is displayed in solid lines. Since the shutter speed is slower when the shutter value is greater, and hand-held shooting may easily lead to unclear photos, so dotted lines representing blur are configured to remind the user that the shutter speed is slower at this time and photos taken at this time are likely blurred. Since the shutter speed is faster when the shutter value is less, so solid lines representing clear are configured to indicate that the shutter speed is faster at this time and it is safe to shoot.

When the exposure value is greater than a second threshold value, the component location information is displayed in solid lines. When the exposure value is less than the second threshold value, the component location information is displayed in dotted lines. Since the photos taken when the exposure value is greater are brighter, so solid lines representing clear are configured to remind the user that the exposure value is greater and photos taken will be brighter. Correspondingly, since the photo taken when the exposure value is less are dimmer, so dotted lines representing blur are configured to remind the user that the exposure value is less and photos taken at this time will be dimmer.

When the focusing fails, the component location information is displayed in dotted lines to remind the user that the focusing has not been successful and it is not suitable for shooting. When the focusing is successful, the component location information is displayed in solid lines to remind the user that the focusing has been successful and it is suitable for shooting.

When the sensitivity value is greater than a fifth threshold value, the component location information is displayed in dotted lines. When the sensitivity value is less than the fifth threshold value, the component location information is displayed in solid lines. Since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is greater have more noise points, so dotted lines representing blur are configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is greater and image quality will be poor. Correspondingly, since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is less have fewer noise points, so solid lines representing clear are configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is less and image quality will be better.

In the above implementation, when the shooting parameters are different, the shape of the component location information may be different.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned determination of the display shape of the component location information according to the shooting parameters is merely exemplary, and is not limited to this in practical applications.

Same as the action at block 605a, at block 605c, the shooting parameters can be controlled according to the user's operation. For example, after clicking to select a shooting parameter, the value of the shooting parameter can be changed by sliding. At the same time, the display shape of the component location information changes with the change of the shooting parameter.

At block 605d, the terminal determines a display animation of the component location information according to the shooting parameters.

The terminal adjusts the display animation of the component location information according to the acquired parameters.

For example, when the aperture value is less than a fourth threshold value, and the corresponding aperture is bigger, the display animation of the component location information has a constant brightness. When the aperture value is greater than the fourth threshold value, and the corresponding aperture is smaller, the display animation of the component location information is a gradient animation having a brightness changed from bright to dim and then from dim to bright. Since the light flux of the image acquisition component is greater when the aperture is bigger, so component location information having a constant brightness is configured to remind the user that the aperture is bigger and the light flux is greater at this time, and photos to be taken will be normal. Correspondingly, since the light flux of the image acquisition component is less when the aperture is smaller, so a gradient animation having breathing effects that a brightness is changed from bright to dim and then from dim to bright, is configured to remind the user that the aperture is smaller and the light flux is less at this time, and photos to be taken will be dim or fuzzy.

When the shutter value is greater than a first threshold value and its corresponding shutter speed is slower, the display animation of the component location information is a gradient animation having a brightness changed from bright to dim and then from dim to bright. When the shutter value is less than the first threshold value and its corresponding shutter speed is faster, the display animation of the component location information has a constant brightness. Since the photos taken when the shutter speed is slower tend to be blurred, so a gradient animation having breathing effects that a brightness is changed from bright to dim and then from dim to bright, is configured to remind the user that the shutter speed is slower at this time and photos to be taken at this time are likely blurred. Since the shutter speed is faster when the shutter value is less, so component location information having a constant brightness is configured to remind the user that the shutter speed is faster at this time and it is safe to shoot.

When the exposure value is greater than a second threshold value, or when the exposure value is less than a third threshold value, the display animation of the component location information is a gradient animation having a brightness changed from bright to dim and then from dim to bright, where the third threshold value is less than the second threshold value. Since it is overexposed when the exposure value is greater than the second threshold value, and it is underexposed when the exposure value is less than the third threshold value, so a gradient animation having breathing effects that a brightness is changed from bright to dim and then from dim to bright, is configured to remind the user that it is overexposed or underexposed. When the exposure value is between the third threshold value and the second threshold value, the display animation of the component location information has a constant brightness, which reminds the user that the exposure is normal.

When the focusing fails, the display animation of the component location information has a constant brightness, which reminds the user that the focusing has not been successful and it is not suitable for shooting. When the focus information indicates that the focusing is successful, the display animation of the component location information is a flashing display, which reminds the user that it is suitable for shooting.

When the sensitivity value is greater than a fifth threshold value, the display animation of the component location information is a gradient animation having a brightness changed from bright to dim and then from dim to bright. When the sensitivity value is less than the fifth threshold value, the display animation of the component location information has a constant brightness. Since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is greater have more noise points, so a gradient animation having breathing effects that a brightness is changed from bright to dim and then from dim to bright, is configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is greater and image quality of photos to be taken will be poor. Correspondingly, since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is less have fewer noise points, so component location information having a constant brightness is configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is less and image quality of photos to be taken will be better.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned determination of the display animation of the component location information according to the shooting parameters is merely exemplary, and is not limited to this in practical applications.

Same as the action at block 605a, at block 605d, the shooting parameters can be controlled according to the user's operation. For example, after clicking to select a shooting parameter, the value of the shooting parameter can be changed by sliding. At the same time, the display animation of the component location information changes with the change of the shooting parameter.

It should be noted that the actions at block 605a, 605b, 605c, and 605d may be performed in series, or only the action at block 605a, 605b, 605c, or 605d be performed.

In summary, in the method for displaying a shooting interface provided in the implementation, the first shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen of the terminal, where the first shooting interface is provided with the component location information, and the component location information is the prompt information configured to indicate the edge contour of the image acquisition component, which solves the problem that the user cannot easily identify the location of the image acquisition component when the terminal is in the front shooting mode because the image acquisition component and the touch screen are integrated into one body on vision when the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen of the terminal, and enables the user to clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component according to the component location information displayed on the shooting interface when using the image acquisition component of the terminal in which the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen, thereby facilitating the user to use the image acquisition component to aim at a target object for shooting when the terminal is in the front shooting mode.

Further, in the method for displaying a shooting interface provided in the implementation, by determining at least one of the display size, the display color, the display shape, or the display animation of the component location information according to the shooting parameters, the user can intuitively know the influence of the shooting parameters on the shooting effect through at least one of the display size, the display color, the display shape, or the display animation of the component location information, which is convenient for the user to adjust the shooting parameters according to at least one of the prompts including the display size, the display color, the display shape, or the display animation of the component location information.

<FIG> is a flowchart of a method for displaying a shooting interface according to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure. The method for displaying a shooting interface can be applied to a terminal in which an image acquisition component is integrated into a touch screen. In the terminal, the photosensitive element in the image acquisition component is divided into a plurality of photosensitive pixels, and each photosensitive pixel is dispersedly integrated in a predetermined area of the touch screen. The method for displaying a shooting interface includes the following actions at blocks illustrated in <FIG>.

After receiving the first operation signal, a CPU in the terminal sends an instruction to the image acquisition component, where the instruction is configured to instruct the image acquisition component to start. After receiving the instruction from the terminal, the image acquisition component starts and enters a working mode, and the process goes to the actions at block 903a or block 903b.

At block 903a, a second shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen. The second shooting interface is provided with component location information which is displayed around an edge contour of the predetermined area.

When the image acquisition component is enabled, the terminal displays the second shooting interface on the touch screen. The second shooting interface may be a user interface of a shooting application, or a user interface of an online video call application, or a user interface of a live video application.

When the second shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen, the component location information is displayed on the second shooting interface. The component location information is displayed around the edge contour of the predetermined area. The component location information is prompt information configured to indicate the edge contour of the image acquisition component. The user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the component location information.

In an exemplary implementation, the second shooting interface is a user interface of the shooting application illustrated in <FIG>. As illustrated in the figure, a predetermined area 509b of the touch screen <NUM> is integrated with the image capturing component. The photosensitive element in the image acquisition component is divided into a plurality of photosensitive pixels, and each photosensitive pixel is integrated into a black area of each display pixel in the predetermined area 509b, so that the image acquisition component and the touch screen are completely integrated into one body. The component location information is the contour mark 501c, and the contour mark 501c is displayed around the edge of the predetermined area 509b, to indicate the edge counter of the image acquisition component. The user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the contour mark 501c.

At block 903b, the terminal displays the second shooting interface on the touch screen. The second shooting interface is provided with component location information which is located at the periphery of the location of the predetermined area and points to the location of the predetermined area.

When the image acquisition component is enabled, the terminal displays the second shooting interface on the touch screen. The second shooting interface may be the user interface of the shooting application, or the user interface of the online video call application, or the user interface of the live video application.

When the second shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen, the component location information is displayed on the second shooting interface. The component location information is located at the periphery of the location of the predetermined area and points to the location of the predetermined area. The user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the component location information.

In an exemplary implementation, the second shooting interface is the user interface of the shooting application illustrated in <FIG>. As illustrated in the figure, the predetermined area 509b of the touch screen <NUM> is integrated with the image capturing component. The photosensitive element in the image acquisition component is divided into a plurality of photosensitive pixels, and each photosensitive pixel is integrated into a black area of each display pixel in the predetermined area 509b, so that the image acquisition component and the touch screen are completely integrated into one body. The component location information is the location mark 501d, and the location mark 501d is located at the periphery of the location of the predetermined area 509b and points to the location of the predetermined area 509b. The user can clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component through the location mark 501b.

<FIG> is a diagram of a display pixel array of a touch screen with integrated photosensitive pixels. As illustrated in the figure, each display pixel includes three sub-pixel units, which are R (red) sub-pixel unit, G (green) sub-pixel unit, and B (blue) sub-pixel unit. Each sub-pixel unit <NUM> has a black area <NUM>. Each photosensitive pixel <NUM> of the image acquisition component is integrated in the black area <NUM> of each sub-pixel unit <NUM>. The predetermined area 509b in which the display pixels integrated with the photosensitive pixels <NUM> is the location of the image acquisition component. When the image acquisition component is started, the display pixels located in the predetermined area 509b are in an off state, so that the image pickup component light-sensitive pixels <NUM> located in the predetermined area 509b can work normally.

The terminal may acquire the shooting parameters through a built-in program. The shooting parameters may be at least one of the aperture value, the shutter value, the exposure value, focus information, or the sensitivity value.

At block 905a, the terminal determines a display size of the component location information according to the shooting parameters.

The terminal adjusts the display size of the component location information according to the acquired parameters. For example, when the aperture value is less and the corresponding aperture is bigger, bigger component location information is displayed; when the aperture value is greater and the corresponding aperture is smaller, smaller component location information is displayed. When the shutter value is greater, the bigger component location information is displayed; when the shutter value is less, the smaller component location information is displayed. When the exposure value is greater, the bigger component location information is displayed; when the exposure value is less, the smaller component location information is displayed. When there is no focusing, the smaller component location information is displayed; when the focusing is successful, the bigger component location information is displayed. When the sensitivity value is greater, the bigger component location information is displayed; when the sensitivity value is less, the smaller component location information is displayed.

<FIG> shows a schematic diagram of a method for controlling shooting parameters according to an implementation of the present disclosure. In the present implementation, the component location information is the contour mark 501c.

As illustrated in the left figure of <FIG>, the user interface of the shooting application is displayed on the touch screen <NUM>. The user interface contains the contour mark 501c and the shooting parameter mark <NUM>.

Take the shooting parameter mark <NUM> being an aperture value mark as an example, when the user clicks the shooting parameter mark <NUM> to select the aperture value mark, the user can use a finger to slide on the touch screen <NUM>, and the touch screen <NUM> generates a sliding signal according to the user's sliding operation. The sliding signal is a fifth operation signal. The touch screen <NUM> reports the fifth operation signal to the CPU in the terminal, and then the CPU adjusts the aperture value according to the fifth operation signal. If the aperture value becomes greater, as illustrated in the right figure of <FIG>, the aperture icon corresponding to the aperture value mark <NUM> is displayed as a large aperture icon. At the same time, the contour mark 501c will also becomes bigger and its contour line will become thicker accordingly.

Similarly, when the shooting parameter selected by the user is the exposure value, the shutter value, or the sensitivity value, if a slide operation is performed on the touch screen <NUM>, the touch screen <NUM> generates a slide signal according to the user's slide operation, and the slide signal is a sixth operation signal or a seventh operation signal. The touch screen <NUM> reports the third operation signal or the fourth operation signal to the CPU in the terminal, and the CPU adjusts the exposure value, the shutter value, or the sensitivity value according to the sixth operation signal or the seventh operation signal reported by the touch screen <NUM>. The size and/or the thickness of the contour line of the contour mark 501c are also changed as the exposure value, the shutter value, or the sensitivity value changes.

Same as the action at block 605a, at block 905a, the shooting parameters can be controlled according to the user's operation. For example, after clicking to select a shooting parameter, the value of the shooting parameter can be changed by sliding. At the same time, the display size of the component location information changes with the change of the shooting parameter.

At block 905b, the terminal determines a display color of the component location information according to the shooting parameters.

For example, when the aperture value is less and the corresponding aperture is bigger, the component location information is displayed in a bright color. When the aperture value is greater and the corresponding aperture is smaller, the component location information is displayed in a dim color. Since the light flux of the image acquisition component is greater when the aperture is bigger, so a bright color is configured to remind the user that the aperture is bigger and the light flux is greater at this time. Correspondingly, since the light flux of the image acquisition component is less when the aperture is smaller, so a dim color is configured to remind the user that the aperture is smaller and the light flux is less at this time.

When the shutter value is greater, the component location information is displayed in a dim color. When the shutter value is less, the component location information is displayed in a bright color. Since the shutter speed is slower when the shutter value is greater, and hand-held shooting may easily lead to unclear photos, so a dim color is configured to remind the user that the shutter speed is slower at this time and photos taken at this time are likely blurred. Since the shutter speed is faster when the shutter value is less, so a bright color is configured to indicate that the shutter speed is faster at this time and it is safe to shoot.

When the exposure value is greater, the component location information is displayed in a bright color. When the exposure value is less, the component location information is displayed in a dim color. Since the photos taken when the exposure value is greater are generally brighter, so a bright color is configured to remind the user that the exposure value is greater at this time and photos taken at this time will be brighter. Correspondingly, since the photo taken when the exposure value is less are generally dimmer, so a dim color is configured to remind the user that the exposure value is less at this time and photos taken at this time will be dimmer.

When the sensitivity value is greater, the component location information is displayed in a dim color. When the sensitivity value is less, the component location information is displayed in a bright color. Since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is greater have more noise points, so a dim color is configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is greater and image quality will be poor. Correspondingly, since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is less have fewer noise points, so a bright color is configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is less and image quality will be better. Among them, the color of the component location information may be different depending on the shooting parameters.

Same as the action at block 905a, at block 905b, the shooting parameters can be controlled according to the user's operation. For example, after clicking to select a shooting parameter, the value of the shooting parameter can be changed by sliding. At the same time, the display color of the component location information changes with the change of the shooting parameter.

At block 905c, the terminal determines a display shape of the component location information according to the shooting parameters.

For example, when the aperture value is less and the corresponding aperture is bigger, the contour lines of the component location information are displayed in dotted lines. When the aperture value is greater and the corresponding aperture is smaller, the contour lines of the component location information are displayed in solid lines. Since the photos taken when the aperture is bigger have shallower depth of field, so dotted lines representing blur are configured to remind the user that the aperture is bigger and the light flux is greater at this time. Correspondingly, since the photos taken when the aperture is smaller have deeper depth of field, so solid lines representing clear are configured to remind the user that the aperture is smaller and the light flux is less at this time.

When the shutter value is greater, the component location information is displayed in dotted lines. When the shutter value is less, the component location information is displayed in solid lines. Since the shutter speed is slower when the shutter value is greater, and hand-held shooting may easily lead to unclear photos, so dotted lines representing blur are configured to remind the user that the shutter speed is slower at this time and photos taken at this time are likely blurred. Since the shutter speed is faster when the shutter value is less, so solid lines representing clear are configured to indicate that the shutter speed is faster at this time and it is safe to shoot.

When the exposure value is greater, the contour lines of the component location information are displayed in solid lines. When the exposure value is less, the contour lines of the component location information are displayed in dotted lines. Since the photos taken when the exposure value is greater are brighter, so solid lines representing clear are configured to remind the user that the exposure value is greater and photos taken will be brighter. Correspondingly, since the photo taken when the exposure value is less are dimmer, so dotted lines representing blur are configured to remind the user that the exposure value is less and photos taken at this time will be dimmer.

When the sensitivity value is greater, the contour lines of the component location information are displayed in dotted lines. When the sensitivity value is less, the contour lines of the component location information are displayed in solid lines. Since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is greater have more noise points, so dotted lines representing blur are configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is greater and image quality will be poor. Correspondingly, since the photos taken when the sensitivity value is less have fewer noise points, so solid lines representing clear are configured to remind the user that the sensitivity value is less and image quality will be better.

Same as the action at block 905a, at block 905c, the shooting parameters can be controlled according to the user's operation. For example, after clicking to select a shooting parameter, the value of the shooting parameter can be changed by sliding. At the same time, the display shape of the component location information changes with the change of the shooting parameter.

At block 905d, the terminal determines a display animation of the component location information according to the shooting parameters.

Same as the action at block 905a, at block 905d, the shooting parameters can be controlled according to the user's operation. For example, after clicking to select a shooting parameter, the value of the shooting parameter can be changed by sliding. At the same time, the display animation of the component location information changes with the change of the shooting parameter.

It should be noted that the actions at block 905a, 905b, 905c, and 905d may be performed in series, or only the action at block 905a, 905b, 905c, or 905d be performed.

In summary, in the method for displaying a shooting interface provided in the implementation, the second shooting interface is displayed on the touch screen of the terminal, where the second shooting interface is provided with the component location information, and the component location information is the prompt information configured to indicate the edge contour of the image acquisition component, which solves the problem that the user cannot easily identify the location of the image acquisition component when the terminal is in the front shooting mode because the image acquisition component and the touch screen are integrated into one body on vision when the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen of the terminal, and enables the user to clearly determine the location of the image acquisition component according to the component location information displayed on the shooting interface when using the image acquisition component of the terminal in which the image acquisition component is integrated into the touch screen, thereby facilitating the user to use the image acquisition component to aim at a target object for shooting when the terminal is in the front shooting mode.

An implementation of the present disclosure further provides a device for displaying a shooting interface. The device is applied to a terminal in which an image acquisition component is integrated into a touch screen of the terminal. The device includes the followings. A receiving module is configured to receive a first operation signal, where the first operation signal is a signal configured to enable the image acquisition component to perform shooting. A control module is configured to enable the image acquisition component according to the first operation signal.
