Abstract

The disclosure provides a method for displaying a picture on a terminal, and the terminal, wherein the method includes: receiving a picture display instruction; entering a rotation preview mode in which the original picture to which the picture display instruction points is rotated at different angles into rotation preview pictures, and the rotation preview pictures are displayed in each sub-area of an interface of the terminal respectively, wherein the sub-areas are at least two sub-areas into which a picture display area of the terminal is divided; receiving a selection instruction of a user; and exiting the rotation preview mode, and entering a picture display mode in which a rotation preview picture in a target sub-area to which the selection instruction points is displayed in the picture display area, and the rotation preview pictures in the other sub-areas are stopped from being displayed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A terminal, comprising:
a display screen having a display area including at least two preset sub-areas;
a memory including instructions stored therein; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
obtain multiple preview pictures of a complete original picture by rotating the original picture at different rotation angles;
determine whether sizes of the preview pictures exceed sizes of corresponding sub-areas configured to display the preview pictures;
reduce the size of one of the preview pictures to match the size of its corresponding sub-area in response to determining that the size of the preview picture exceeds the size of its corresponding sub-area;
display the preview pictures in the corresponding sub-areas, wherein each of the preview pictures is completely displayed in a different one of the sub-areas;
determine one of the preview pictures having a rotation angle that satisfies a predetermined condition; and
adjust the size of the determined preview picture to match a size of the display area, to display the determined preview picture in the display area.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal further comprises a control module configured to determine the preview picture having the rotation angle that satisfies the predetermined condition, or wherein the terminal is connected to an external control device configured to determine the preview picture having the rotation angle that satisfies the predetermined condition.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined condition includes the rotation angle matching a viewing direction of the display screen.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to:
in response to determining that the attribute information includes a rotation angle used during a most recent display of the original picture, display the original picture in the display area by rotating the original picture at the rotation angle used during the most recent display of the original picture.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to:
before the preview pictures of the complete original picture are obtained, determine whether attribute information included in the original picture includes a rotation angle used during a most recent display of the original picture; and
in response to determining that the attribute information does not include the rotation angle, obtain the preview pictures of the complete original picture by rotating the original picture at different rotation angles.

6. A method for displaying a picture on a terminal including a display screen having a display area that includes at least two preset sub-areas, the method comprising:
obtaining multiple preview pictures of a complete original picture by rotating the original picture at different rotation angles;
determining whether sizes of the preview pictures exceed sizes of corresponding sub-areas configured to display the preview pictures;
reducing the size of one of the preview pictures to match the size of its corresponding sub-area in response to determining that the size of the preview picture exceeds the size of its corresponding sub-area;
displaying the preview pictures in the corresponding sub-areas, wherein each of the preview pictures is completely displayed in a different sub-area;
determining one of the preview pictures having a rotation angle that satisfies a predetermined condition; and
adjusting the size of the determined preview picture to match a size of the display area, to display the determined preview picture in the display area.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the terminal includes a control module configured to determine the preview picture having the rotation angle that satisfies the predetermined condition, or the terminal is connected to an external control device configured to determine the preview picture having the rotation angle that satisfies the predetermined condition.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the predetermined condition includes the rotation angle matching a viewing direction of the display screen.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein before obtaining the multiple preview pictures of the complete original picture, the method further comprises:
determining whether attribute information included in the original picture includes a rotation angle used during a most recent display of the original picture; and
wherein obtaining the multiple preview pictures of the complete original picture by rotating the original picture at different rotation angles comprises:
in response to determining that the attribute information does not include the rotation angle used during the most recent display of the original picture, obtaining the multiple preview pictures of the complete original picture by rotating the original picture at different rotation angles.

10. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the attribute information includes the rotation angle used during the most recently display of the original picture, displaying the original picture in the display area by rotating the original picture at the rotation angle.
