Abstract

Embodiments of the present application disclose an interaction method, an interaction apparatus, and user equipment. The method comprises: acquiring input information corresponding to a focal-length decreasing operation on an image collection device; and in response to that the image collection device is in a shortest focal-length state, triggering, at least according to the input information, the image collection device to enter a panoramic shooting mode. For technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, a focal-length decreasing operation on an image collection device when the image collection device is in a shortest focal-length state is used to implement switching of the image collection device from a normal shooting mode to a panoramic shooting mode, so that use of a user becomes convenient, and also a use habit of the user is met, thereby improving user experience.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An interaction method, comprising:
acquiring input information corresponding to a focal-length decreasing operation on an image collection device;
generating a panoramic shooting trigger instruction at least according to the input information;
triggering, according to the panoramic shooting trigger instruction, the image collection device to enter a panoramic shooting mode;
indicating a shooting state that the image collection device is in, wherein the shooting state comprises the panoramic shooting mode;
displaying a status scroll bar, wherein an end of the status scroll bar represents that the image collection device is in a longest focal length state of a normal shooting mode, the other end represents that the image collection device is in the panoramic shooting mode, and a set position between the two ends represents that the image collection device is in a shortest focal-length state of the normal shooting mode; and
displaying a current state pointer, wherein the current state pointer is for indicating, on the status scroll bar, the shooting state.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the triggering the image collection device to enter a panoramic shooting mode further comprises:
sending the panoramic shooting trigger instruction to the image collection device.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the generating a panoramic shooting trigger instruction at least according to the input information comprises:
generating a panoramic trigger query instruction according to the input information, where the panoramic trigger query instruction is used for querying whether to enter the panoramic shooting mode;
acquiring feedback input information corresponding to the panoramic trigger query instruction; and
in response to that the feedback input information corresponds to confirmation to enter the panoramic shooting mode, generating the panoramic shooting trigger instruction.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the feedback input information comprises:
confirmation input information corresponding to continuing to perform the focal-length decreasing operation.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the focal-length decreasing operation comprises:
a mutual approaching motion of at least two fingers of a user on a touchpad.

6. An interaction apparatus, comprising:
an input information acquisition module, configured to acquire input information corresponding to a focal-length decreasing operation on an image collection device;
a trigger instruction generation unit, configured to generate a panoramic shooting trigger instruction at least according to the input information;
a panoramic shooting trigger unit, configured to trigger, according to the panoramic shooting trigger instruction, the image collection device to enter a panoramic shooting mode;
a shooting state indication module, configured to indicate a shooting state that the image collection device is in, where the shooting state comprises the panoramic shooting mod; and
a display unit, configured to:
display a status scroll bar, wherein an end of the status scroll bar represents that the image collection device is in a longest focal length state of a normal shooting mode, the other end represents that the image collection device is in the panoramic shooting mode, and a set position between the two ends represents that the image collection device is in a shortest focal-length state of the normal shooting mode; and
display a current state pointer, wherein the current state pointer is for indicating, on the status scroll bar, the shooting state.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the panoramic shooting trigger module further comprises:
a communications unit, configured to send the panoramic shooting trigger instruction to the image collection device.

8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the trigger instruction generation unit comprises:
a query instruction generation subunit, configured to generate a panoramic trigger query instruction according to the input information, where the panoramic trigger query instruction is used for querying whether to enter the panoramic shooting mode;
a feedback information acquisition subunit, configured to acquire feedback input information corresponding to the panoramic trigger query instruction; and
a trigger instruction generation subunit, configured to: in response to that the feedback input information corresponds to confirmation to enter the panoramic shooting mode, generate the panoramic shooting trigger instruction.

9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the feedback input information comprises:
confirmation input information corresponding to continuing to perform the focal-length decreasing operation.

10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the focal-length decreasing operation comprises:
a mutual approaching motion of at least two fingers of a user on a touchpad.

11. A user equipment, comprising the interaction apparatus as claimed in claim 6 .

12. A non-transitory computer readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution by a processor of a user device, cause the user device comprising the processor to perform operations, comprising:
acquiring input information corresponding to a focal-length decreasing operation on an image collection device;
generating a panoramic shooting trigger instruction at least according to the input information;
triggering, according to the panoramic shooting trigger instruction, the image collection device to enter a panoramic shooting mode;
indicating a shooting state that the image collection device is in, wherein the shooting state comprises the panoramic shooting mode;
displaying a status scroll bar, wherein an end of the status scroll bar represents that the image collection device is in a longest focal length state of a normal shooting mode, the other end represents that the image collection device is in the panoramic shooting mode, and a set position between the two ends represents that the image collection device is in a shortest focal-length state of the normal shooting mode; and
displaying a current state pointer, wherein the current state pointer is for indicating, on the status scroll bar, the shooting state.
