Abstract

The invention discloses methods and an electronic device for collage making. The method includes determining, at a first device, a collage template and a first set of image blocks in the collage template to receive data imported by the first device. The method further includes sending, at the first device, collage making invitation information to a second device. The collage making invitation information is associated with the collage template, at least one of the first set of image blocks, and a second set of image blocks in the collage template to receive data to imported by the second device. The method further includes obtaining, at the first device, cooperative collage data of the second device. The method further includes determining, at the first device, a collage making result. The collage making result comprises the cooperative collage data and the data imported by the first device.

First claim

We claim:

1 . A method of collage making, comprising:
determining, at a first device, a collage template and a first set of image blocks in the collage template to receive data imported by the first device, wherein the collage template comprises a plurality of image blocks and the first set of image blocks is a subset of the plurality of image blocks; sending, at the first device, collage making invitation information to a second device, wherein the collage making invitation information is associated with the collage template, at least one of the first set of image blocks, and a second set of image blocks in the collage template to receive data to imported by the second device; obtaining, at the first device, cooperative collage data of the second device, wherein the cooperative collage data of the second device comprises data imported by the second device for the second set of image blocks; and obtaining, at the first device, a collage making result, wherein the collage making result comprises the cooperative collage data and the data imported by the first device, and wherein an auxiliary line corresponding to each image block in the collage template is displayed in a region of each image block; an auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks is configured to indicate the first device to import data that matches a shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks; and an auxiliary line in each of the second set of image blocks is configured to indicate the second device to import cooperative collage data that matches a shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of second set of image blocks.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a collage template comprises:
determining the collage template based on selection information input by a user through a template selection page, wherein a content displayed in the template selection page comprises identifications of a plurality of candidate collage templates; or generating the collage template based on drawing data input by the user through a self-drawing page; wherein the self-drawing page comprises a drawing board control and at least one of: an image block number selection control, an image block layout control, an auxiliary line drawing control, an clearing and redrawing control, an undo control, or a template confirmation control; the drawing data comprises image block layout data, and the auxiliary line for guiding the user to complete an action or marking a shape.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the collage template comprises at least one of:
a first type of image block with a first mark displayed in a region of the first type of image block, the first mark representing that the first type of image block is in a state without the data imported; a second type of image block with a second mark displayed in a region of the second type of image block, the second mark representing that the second type of image block is in a state with the data imported, and the second mark further representing that editing of the data imported is support; or a third type of image block with a third mark displayed in a region of the third type of image block, the third mark representing that the third type of image block is associated with the cooperative collage data of the second device.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein sending collage making invitation information to a second device comprises:
generating the collage making invitation information based on the collage template and the first set of image blocks in the collage template; and sending the collage making invitation information to the second device in the form of at least one of a passcode, an applet, and a link.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining the data imported matching the shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks; and importing the data imported matching the shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks into each of the first set of image blocks.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the data imported matching the shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks comprises:
displaying each of the first set of image blocks sequentially in a capturing interface to guide a user to complete and capture an action corresponding to each of the first set of image blocks based on the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks, and using a capturing result as the data imported corresponding to each of the first set of image blocks; or, searching, based on the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks, for a material with a shape label matching the shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks from a specified material library, and using the searched material as the data imported corresponding to each of the first set of image blocks.

7 . The method of claim 1 , before importing the data imported matching the shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks into each of the first set of image blocks, the method further comprising:
for each of the first set of image blocks, extracting key points in the data imported matching the shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks; and correcting the data imported to cause the key points in the data imported to match the shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the collage making result, wherein the collage making result is obtained by splicing, based on the collage template and by the first device or the second device, the data imported corresponding to each of the first set of image blocks and the cooperative collage data corresponding to each of the second set of image blocks.

9 . A method of collage making, comprising:
receiving, at a second device, collage making invitation information from a first device, wherein the collage making invitation information is associated with a collage template, and is further associated with at least one of the following in the collage template: a first set of image blocks of which data is to be imported by the first device and a second set of image blocks of which data is to be imported by the second device, wherein the collage template comprises a plurality of image blocks, and the first set of image blocks is a subset of the plurality of image blocks comprised in the collage template; calling, at the second device, the collage template based on the collage making invitation information; generating, at the second device, cooperative collage data based on the collage template, wherein the cooperative collage data comprises data imported for at least one second set of image blocks in the collage template; and obtaining, at the second device, a collage making result, wherein the collage making result comprises the cooperative collage data and data imported by the first device, and wherein an auxiliary line corresponding to each image block in the collage template is displayed in a region of each image block; an auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks is configured to indicate the first device to import data that matches a shape represented by the auxiliary line in each of the first set of image blocks; and an auxiliary line in each of the second set of image blocks is configured to indicate the second device to import cooperative collage data that matches a shape represented by matches the auxiliary line in each of second set of image blocks.
