Preview Image Presentation Method and Apparatus, and Terminal

Abstract

A preview image presentation method and apparatus, and a terminal are provided. The method includes acquiring, by a terminal, an image captured by a camera; and presenting, on a screen of the terminal, a first preview image and a second preview image that are generated according to the image, where a size of the second preview image is less than a size of the first preview image. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, on an existing basis of displaying a first preview image in a full screen manner, a second preview image that is smaller than the first preview image may be presented additionally, so that a user can adjust photographic composition according to the second preview image, thereby enhancing a photography effect and improving user photography experience.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A preview image presentation method by a terminal having a front camera and a screen, comprising:
 acquiring a plurality of images through the front camera, wherein the front camera and the screen are disposed at a common side of the terminal;   presenting simultaneously a first live preview image and a second live preview image on the screen of the terminal generated according to the images acquired by the front camera, wherein the second live preview image is presented on a preset first presenting location of the screen, and wherein a size of the second live preview image is less than a size of the first live preview image;   removing the second live preview image to a second presenting location of the screen along a first direction in response to a first user operation on the terminal; and   removing the second live preview image to a third presenting location of the screen along a second direction in response to a second user operation on the terminal, wherein the second presenting location is different from the third presenting location, and wherein the second direction is different from the first direction.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the second direction and the first direction are opposite. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first presenting location is proximate to the front camera. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first presenting location is located in a same vertical direction as the front camera. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first direction is parallel with a side of the screen. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first user operation is different from the second user operation. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first user operation comprises dragging the second live preview image along the first direction, and wherein the second user operation comprises dragging the second live preview image along the second direction. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first user operation comprises selecting the second presenting location, and wherein the second user operation comprises selecting the third presenting location. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the second live preview image is generated according to the first live preview image using a downscale algorithm. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first live preview image is presented on the screen in a full screen manner. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein a display area of the screen is divided into a first region and a second region, wherein the first region and the second region are not overlapped, wherein the first region represents an entirety of the first live preview image acquired by the front camera, and wherein the second region represents the second live preview image. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the second live preview image is overlapped on the first live preview image, or wherein the second live preview image is independent of the first live preview image. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the size of the second live preview image is one fourth of the size of the first live preview image. 
     
     
         14 . A terminal, comprising:
 a processor;   a front camera coupled to the processor;   a rear camera coupled to the processor; and   a screen coupled to the processor,   wherein the front camera and the screen are disposed at the same side of the terminal, and   wherein the processor is configured to:
 acquire a plurality of images through the front camera; 
 present simultaneously a first live preview image and a second live preview image on the screen generated according to the images acquired by the front camera, wherein the second live preview image is presented on a preset first presenting location of the screen, and wherein a size of the second live preview image is less than a size of the first live preview image; 
 remove the second live preview image to a second presenting location of the screen along a first direction in response to a first user operation on the terminal; and 
 remove the second live preview image to a third presenting location of the screen along a second direction in response to a second user operation on the terminal, wherein the second presenting location is different from the third presenting location, and wherein the second direction is different from the first direction. 
   
     
     
         15 . The terminal according to  claim 14 , wherein the second direction and the first direction are opposite. 
     
     
         16 . The terminal according to  claim 14 , wherein the first presenting location is proximate to the front camera. 
     
     
         17 . The terminal according to  claim 14 , wherein the first presenting location is located in a same vertical direction as the front camera. 
     
     
         18 . The terminal according to  claim 14 , wherein the first direction is parallel with a side of the screen. 
     
     
         19 . The terminal according to  claim 14 , wherein the first user operation comprises dragging the second live preview image along the first direction, and wherein the second user operation comprises dragging the second live preview image along the second direction. 
     
     
         20 . The terminal according to  claim 14 , wherein the first live preview image is presented on the screen in a full screen manner.
