Abstract

A method includes, in response to a trigger instruction, obtaining first images from a first camera and displaying the first images on a first display area, and obtaining second images from a second camera and displaying the second images on a second display area. The first camera and the second camera are located at different positions. The first display area is different from the second display area.

Claims (78)

1. A method, comprising:

in response to a trigger instruction, obtaining first images from a first camera and displaying the first images on a first display area; and

obtaining second images from a second camera and displaying the second images on a second display area;

wherein:

the first camera and the second camera are located at different positions;

the first display area is different from the second display area;

the first camera and the second camera have same components and optical parameters; and

a long side of a photosensitive array of the first camera is perpendicular to a long side of a photosensitive array of the second camera.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the long side of the photosensitive array of the first camera corresponds to a long side of a device; and

the long side of the photosensitive array of the second camera corresponds to a short side of the device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first display area and the second display area are different display areas of a same display screen.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

displaying an operating control element on the display screen;

upon receiving a first user operation on the operating control element, generating a record-start instruction to start saving, in real-time, images captured by the first camera and the second camera in real-time and sound captured by a microphone; and

upon receiving a second user operation on the operating control element, generating a record-end instruction to end saving the images captured by the first camera and the second camera and the sound captured by the microphone.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: when saving, in real-time, the images captured by the first camera and the second camera and the sound captured by the microphone,

simultaneously displaying the first image captured by the first camera on the first display area and displaying the second images captured by the second camera on the second display area;

wherein:

the first display area includes a first sub-operating control element configured to operate and control the first camera; and

the second display area includes a second sub-operating control element configured to operate and control the second camera.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining an input operation;

if the input operation is directed to the first display area, expanding the first display area to a display area of a display screen, displaying a first sub-operating control element, and closing the second camera simultaneously; and

if the input operation is directed to the second display area, expanding the second display area to the display area of the display screen, displaying a second sub-operating control element, and closing the first camera simultaneously.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a first video file according to the first captured images and generating a second video file according to the second captured images;

binding video file information of the first video file and video file information of the second video file; and

saving the first video file and the second video file respectively.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising automatically selecting one video file from the first video file and the second video file according to different scenes.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining an attitude of a device;

selecting a target camera from the first camera and the second camera of the device based on the attitude; and

using the target camera to capture images and saving the images captured by the target camera as target images.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

closing a non-target camera of the first camera and the second camera while using the target camera to capture the images; or

omitting images captured by the non-target camera of the first camera and the second camera.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

obtaining the attitude of the device upon receiving a recording instruction of continuously capturing a plurality of images, and

during recording, determining the target camera every time the attitude of the device changes.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

obtaining a first operation of identifying a record mode before starting the recording;

determining a target record mode based on the first operation; and

selecting the target camera from the first camera and the second camera according to the target record mode, the target record mode including one of a portrait mode and a landscape mode.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the target record mode is the portrait mode, selecting the target camera from the first camera and the second camera according to the target record mode includes:

when the attitude is horizontal, selecting the first camera as the target camera, the first camera being configured to capture horizontal images when the attitude of the device is horizontal and vertical images when the attitude of the device is vertical; and

when the attitude is vertical, selecting the second camera as the target camera, the second camera being configured to capture horizontal images when the attitude of the device is vertical and horizontal images when the attitude of the device is horizontal.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the indicated record mode is the portrait mode, selecting the target camera from the first camera and the second camera according to the target record mode includes:

when the attitude is horizontal, selecting the second camera as the target camera, the second camera being configured to capture horizontal images when the attitude of the device is vertical and vertical images when the attitude of the device is horizontal; and

when the attitude is vertical, selecting the first camera as the target camera, the first camera being configured to capture horizontal images when the attitude of the device is horizontal and vertical images when the attitude of the device is vertical.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

in response to a panoramic recording instruction, obtaining a moving direction of the device;

wherein selecting the target camera from the first camera and the second camera based on the attitude includes:

selecting the target camera from the first camera and the second camera based on the attitude and the moving direction; and

closing a non-target camera of the first camera and the second camera.

16. A device, comprising:

a first camera;

a second camera;

a processor; and

a memory, storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

in response to a trigger instruction, obtain first images from a first camera and display the first images on a first display area; and

obtain second images from a second camera and display the second images on a second display area;

wherein:

the first camera and the second camera are located at different positions;

the first display area is different from the second display area;

the first camera and the second camera have same components and optical parameters; and

a long side of a photosensitive array of the first camera is perpendicular to a long side of a photosensitive array of the second camera.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein:

the long side of the photosensitive array of the first camera corresponds to a long side of the device; and

the long side of the photosensitive array of the second camera corresponds to a short side of the device.

18. A non-transitory storage medium storing computer programs that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

in response to a trigger instruction, obtain first images from a first camera and display the first images on a first display area; and

obtain second images from a second camera and display the second images on a second display area;

wherein:

the first camera and the second camera are located at different positions;

the first display area is different from the second display area;

the first camera and the second camera have same components and optical parameters; and

a long side of a photosensitive array of the first camera is perpendicular to a long side of a photosensitive array of the second camera.
