Abstract

Disclosed are a photographing method by a smart television and system thereof. The method includes acquiring a picture of an environment captured by a camera of the smart television, when the smart television is photographing; determining a brightness value of current environment of the smart television, based on the picture of the environment; when the brightness value of the environment is less than a preset value, gradually increasing screen brightness of the smart television and showing a preview image of the picture at different screen brightness; and after a required screen brightness is selected by the user according to the preview image of the picture, adjusting the screen brightness to the required screen brightness selected by the user, for the user to be photographed.

Claims (62)

1. A photographing method by smart television, comprising:

acquiring a picture of an environment captured by a camera of a smart television, in response that the smart television is photographing;

acquiring a brightness value of each pixel in the picture of the environment;

taking an average of the acquired brightness value of each pixel in the picture of the environment as a brightness value of current environment;

indicating directly a user to be photographed in response that the brightness value of current environment is not less than a preset value;

saving a current screen brightness, in response that the brightness value of current environment is less than the preset value;

gradually increasing screen brightness of the smart television and showing a preview image of the picture at different screen brightness in response that the brightness value of the current environment is less than the preset value; and

adjusting the screen brightness to a required screen brightness for the user to be photographed, after the required screen brightness is selected by the user according to the preview image of the picture; and

restoring the screen brightness of the smart television to the current screen brightness previously saved, wherein

the step of adjusting the screen brightness to a required screen brightness selected by the user, for the user to be photographed, comprises:

switching a display interface of a screen of the smart television into a full white screen, and setting brightness of the full white screen as the required screen brightness selected by the user; and

indicating the user to be photographed, when the screen brightness becomes the required screen brightness selected by the user;

and wherein a flash is performed on the screen of the smart television based on the full white screen.

2. A photographing method by smart television, comprising:

acquiring a picture of an environment captured by a camera of a smart television, in response that the smart television is photographing;

determining a brightness value of current environment of the smart television, based on the picture of the environment;

saving a current screen brightness, in response that the brightness value of current environment is less than the preset value;

gradually increasing screen brightness of the smart television and showing a preview image of the picture at different screen brightness, in response that the brightness value of the current environment is less than a preset value;

adjusting the screen brightness to a required screen brightness selected by the user, for the user to be photographed, after the required screen brightness is selected by the user according to the preview image of the picture; and

restoring the screen brightness of the smart television to the current screen brightness previously saved, wherein

the step of adjusting the screen brightness to a required screen brightness selected by the user, for the user to be photographed, comprises:

switching a display interface of a screen of the smart television into a full white screen, and setting brightness of the full white screen as the required screen brightness selected by the user; and

indicating the user to be photographed, when the screen brightness becomes the required screen brightness selected by the user;

and wherein a flash is performed on the screen of the smart television based on the full white screen.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the step of adjusting the screen brightness to a required screen brightness selected by the user, for the user to be photographed, comprises:

switching a display interface of a screen of the smart television into a full white screen, and setting brightness of the full white screen as the required screen brightness selected by the user; and

indicating the user to be photographed, when the screen brightness becomes the required screen brightness selected by the user.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

indicating directly a user to be photographed when the brightness value of the environment is not less than the preset value.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the step of adjusting the screen brightness to a required screen brightness selected by the user, for the user to be photographed, comprises:

switching a display interface of a screen of the smart television into a full white screen, and setting brightness of the full white screen as the required screen brightness selected by the user; and

indicating the user to be photographed, when the screen brightness becomes the required screen brightness selected by the user.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the step of determining the brightness of current environment of the smart television, based on the picture of the environment, comprises:

acquiring a brightness value of each pixel in the picture of the environment; and

taking an average of the acquired brightness value of each pixel in the picture of the environment as the brightness value of the current environment.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the step of adjusting the screen brightness to a required screen brightness selected by the user, for the user to be photographed, comprises:

switching a display interface of the screen of the smart television into a full white screen, and setting brightness of the full white screen as the required screen brightness selected by the user; and

indicating the user to be photographed, when the screen brightness becomes the required screen brightness selected by the user.

8. A photographing system of smart television, comprising:

an acquiring module, configured to acquire a picture of an environment captured by a camera of a smart television, in response that the smart television is photographing;

a determining module, configured to determine a brightness value of current environment of the smart television, based on the picture of the environment;

a displaying module, configured to gradually increase screen brightness value of the smart television and to show a preview image of the picture at different screen brightness, in response that the brightness value of the current environment is less than a preset value; and

a first adjusting module, configured to adjust the screen brightness to a required screen brightness selected by the user, for the user to be photographed, after the required screen brightness is selected by the user according to the preview image of the picture; and

a second adjusting module, configured to save a screen brightness before increasing the screen brightness value, and restore the screen brightness previously saved once photographing is completed, wherein

the first adjusting module comprises:

a switching unit, configured to switch a display interface of a screen of the smart television into a full white screen, and to set brightness of the full white screen as the required screen brightness selected by the user;

an indicating unit, configured to indicate the user to be photographed, when the screen brightness becomes the required screen brightness selected by the user,

and wherein a flash is performed on the screen of the smart television based on the full white screen.

9. The photographing system of claim 8 , wherein the first adjusting module comprises:

a switching unit, configured to switch a display interface of a screen of the smart television into a full white screen, and to set brightness of the full white screen as the required screen brightness selected by the user; and

an indicating unit, configured to indicate the user to be photographed, in response that the screen brightness becomes the required screen brightness selected by the user.

10. The photographing system of claim 8 , wherein the photographing system further comprises:

an indicating module, configured to directly indicate the user to be photographed, when the current brightness value of the environment is not less than the preset value.

11. The photographing system of claim 10 , wherein the photographing system further comprises:
