Abstract

An information processing method includes determining an image display orientation of a first image collected by a first electronic apparatus, determining an image display orientation of a second image received by the first electronic apparatus, and adjusting the image display orientation of the second image to be consistent with the image display orientation of the first image displayed on the first electronic apparatus. The second image is collected by a second electronic apparatus.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing method, comprising:
determining, by a first electronic apparatus, an image display orientation of a first image collected by the first electronic apparatus;
determining, by a second electronic apparatus, an image display orientation of a second image received by the first electronic apparatus, the second image being collected by the second electronic apparatus;
determining, by the first electronic apparatus, that the image display orientation of the second image is different from the image display orientation of the first image;
automatically notifying, by the first electronic apparatus, the second electronic apparatus to collect the second image in the image display orientation of the first image; and
automatically displaying the second image, by the first electronic apparatus so that the image display orientation of the second image to be consistent with the image display orientation of the first image displayed on the first electronic apparatus.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether the image display orientation of the second image received by the first electronic apparatus is consistent with the image display orientation of the first image.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein notifying the second electronic apparatus to collect the second image in the image display orientation of the first image displayed on the first electronic apparatus further includes:
notifying the second electronic apparatus to collect the image display orientation of the second image according to the image display orientation of the first electronic apparatus after the state is switched; or
notifying the second electronic apparatus to crop the second image according to an image display orientation of the second electronic apparatus after the state is switched so that the image display orientation of the cropped second image is consistent with the image display orientation of the first image.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein notifying, by the first electronic apparatus, the second electronic apparatus to collect the second image in the image display orientation of the first image the image display orientation further includes:
determining a state of the first electronic apparatus according to the image display orientation of the first image, the image display orientation of the first image being related to the state of the first electronic apparatus; and
notifying the second electronic apparatus to adjust a state of the second electronic apparatus to be same as the state of the first electronic apparatus.

5. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a display configured to display a first image and a second image simultaneously; and
a processor of a first electronic apparatus configured to:
determine an image display orientation of a first image collected by the first electronic apparatus;
receiving a second image and an image display orientation of the second image by the first electronic apparatus, the second image being collected by a second electronic apparatus;
determine that the image display orientation of the second image is different from the image display orientation of the first image;
automatically notify the second electronic apparatus to collect the second image in the image display orientation of the first image; and
automatically display the second image so that the image display orientation of the second image to be consistent with the image display orientation of the first image displayed on the first electronic apparatus.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine whether the image display orientation of the second image received by the first electronic apparatus is consistent with the image display orientation of the first image.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine that the first electronic apparatus is switched from a first state to a second state; and
determine whether the state of the second electronic apparatus is changed, wherein:
when the first electronic apparatus is in the first state, the image display orientation of the first electronic apparatus is a first orientation; and
when the first electronic apparatus is in the second state, the image display orientation of the first electronic apparatus is a second orientation.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
notify the second electronic apparatus to adjust the image display orientation of the second image collected by the second electronic apparatus according to the image display orientation of the first electronic apparatus after the state is switched; or
notify the second electronic apparatus to crop the second image according to an image display orientation of the second electronic apparatus after the state is switched so that the image display orientation of the cropped second image is consistent with the image display orientation of the first image.

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a first electronic apparatus, cause the processor to:
determine an image display orientation of a first image collected by the first electronic apparatus;
receive an image display orientation of a second image received by the first electronic apparatus, the second image being collected by a second electronic apparatus;
determine that the image display orientation of the second image is different from the image display orientation of the first image;
automatically notify the second electronic apparatus to collect the second image in the image display orientation of the first image by the at least one processor; and
automatically display the second image so that the image display orientation of the second image to be consistent with the image display orientation of the first image displayed on the first electronic apparatus.

10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
determine whether the image display orientation of the second image received by the first electronic apparatus is consistent with the image display orientation of the first image.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
determine that the first electronic apparatus is switched from a first state to a second state; and
determine whether the state of the second electronic apparatus is changed, wherein:
when the first electronic apparatus is in the first state, the image display orientation of the first electronic apparatus is a first orientation; and
when the first electronic apparatus is in the second state, the image display orientation of the first electronic apparatus is a second orientation.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
notify the second electronic apparatus to adjust the image display orientation of the second image collected by the second electronic apparatus according to the image display orientation of the first electronic apparatus after the state is switched; or
notify the second electronic apparatus to crop the second image according to an image display orientation of the second electronic apparatus after the state is switched so that the image display orientation of the cropped second image is consistent with the image display orientation of the first image.
