Abstract

A method for controlling photographic fill-in light is provided. The method includes acquiring illuminance of a photographed object in response to an operation of a user, determining that the illuminance of the photographed object is less than a set threshold, and controlling, when a photographing instruction to photograph the photographed object is received, a display on the terminal to add, in a set manner, light to the photographed object. the photographing apparatus and the display are located on a same side of the terminal.

Claims (52)

1 - 15 . (canceled)

16 . A method for controlling photographic fill-in light, wherein the method comprises:

acquiring illuminance of a photographed object in response to an operation of a user, wherein the operation of the user requests a photographing apparatus of a terminal to take a picture of the photographed object;

determining that the illuminance of the photographed object is less than a set threshold; and

controlling, when a photographing instruction to photograph the photographed object is received, a display on the terminal to add, in a set manner, light to the photographed object;

wherein the photographing apparatus and the display are located on a same side of the terminal.

17 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the controlling a display on the terminal to add light to the photographed object comprises:

controlling an entire display area or a partial display area of the display to add the light to the photographed object.

18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein the light added to the photographed object comprises white light.

19 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the method further comprises performing, before the controlling a display on the terminal to add light to the photographed object:

acquiring an ambient light color of the photographed object; and

wherein the controlling a display on the terminal to add light to the photographed object comprises performing, in response to the ambient light color of the photographed object being colorful:

controlling the display on the terminal to add, in a manner of a color complementary to the ambient light color of the photographed object, the light to the photographed object.

20 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the method further comprises performing, after the determining that the illuminance of the photographed object is less than a set threshold and before the photographing instruction to photograph the photographed object is received:

controlling a preview image displayed by the display on the terminal to turn into a complementary color.

21 . A terminal, comprising:

an input apparatus;

an output apparatus

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory,

wherein the output apparatus comprises a display; and

wherein the processor is configured to:

acquire illuminance of a photographed object in response to an operation of a user, wherein the operation of the user requests a photographing apparatus of the terminal to take a picture of the photographed object;

determine that the illuminance of the photographed object is less than a set threshold; and

control, in response to a photographing instruction to photograph the photographed object being received, the display on the terminal to add, in a set manner, light to the photographed object;

wherein the photographing apparatus and the display are located on a same side of the terminal.

22 . The terminal according to claim 21 , wherein the controlling the display on the terminal to add light to the photographed object comprises:

controlling an entire display area or a partial display area of the display to add the light to the photographed object.

23 . The terminal according to claim 22 , wherein the light added to the photographed object comprises white light.

24 . The terminal according to claim 21 , wherein the processor is further configured to, before controlling the display on the terminal to add light to the photographed object:

acquire an ambient light color of the photographed object; and

wherein the controlling the display on the terminal to add, in a set manner, light to the photographed object comprises performing, in response to the ambient light color of the photographed object being colorful:

controlling the display on the terminal to add, in a manner of a color complementary to the ambient light color of the photographed object, the light to the photographed object.

25 . The terminal according to claim 21 , wherein the processor is further configured to, after determining that the illuminance of the photographed object is less than a set threshold and before the photographing instruction to photograph the photographed object is received:

control a preview image displayed by the display on the terminal to turn into a complementary color.

26 . A terminal, comprising:

a photographing apparatus;

a display disposed on a same side of the terminal as the photographing apparatus;

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions to:

acquire illuminance of a photographed object in response to an operation of a user, wherein the operation of the user requests that the photographing apparatus of the terminal to take a picture of the photographed object;

determine that the illuminance of the photographed object is less than a set threshold;

control, in response to receiving a photographing instruction to photograph the photographed object, the display on the terminal to provide a displayed element that projects, in a set manner, light onto the photographed object;

cause the photographing apparatus to take the picture while the display on the terminal provides the displayed element.

27 . The terminal according to claim 26 , wherein the instructions to control the display on the terminal comprise instructions to:

controlling an entire display area or a partial display area of the display to project the light onto the photographed object.

28 . The terminal according to claim 27 , wherein the light projected onto the photographed object comprises white light.

29 . The terminal according to claim 26 , wherein the instructions to control the display on the terminal comprise instructions to:

acquire an ambient light color of the photographed object; and

control the display on the terminal to project light having a color that is complementary to the acquired ambient light color onto the photographed object.

30 . The terminal according to claim 26 , control, wherein the instructions to control the display on the terminal to provide a displayed element includes instructions to:

control a preview image displayed by the display on the terminal to turn into a complementary color.
