Abstract

A segmentation method includes displaying a setting interface for segment setting, the setting interface including a plurality of segment areas, the plurality of segment areas including a plurality of lighting areas, and the plurality of lighting areas one-to-one corresponding to a plurality of light-emitting units included in a lamp. The method also includes: in response to a user's modification operation on the plurality of segment areas, displaying a modified segment area, the modification operation being an operation by a user to modify the number of the segment areas and/or the number of lighting areas included in a segment area; in response to a user's save operation on the modified segment area, saving the modified segment area; and sending segmentation information of the modified segment area to the lamp, for the lamp to control the plurality of light-emitting units to display corresponding lighting effect.

in response to a save operation by the user on the modified segment area, saving the modified segment area; and

sending segmentation information of the modified segment area to the lamp, the segmentation information being used by the lamp to control the plurality of light-emitting units to display corresponding lighting effect,

wherein, in response to the modification operation by the user on the plurality of segment areas, displaying a modified segment area further includes:

in response to a selection operation by the user on a first segment area among the plurality of segment areas, highlighting the first segment area;

in response to a processing operation by the user on the first segment area, displaying the modified segment area;

in response to a deletion operation by the user on the first segment area, merging the first segment area into a third segment area, the third segment area being a segment area adjacent to the first segment area, and adjusting sequential segment area numbers of the plurality of segment areas; and

displaying the modified segment area.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein, in response to the processing operation by the user on the first segment area, displaying the modified segment area further includes:

in response to a modification operation by the user on the first segment area, determining the number of lighting areas and a second segment area included in a modified first segment area, the second segment area being adjacent to the modified first segment area; and

according to the number of lighting areas, determining the number of modified segment areas and the number of lighting areas included in a modified second segment area, so as to obtain the modified segment area, the number of modified segment areas being less than or equal to the number of the plurality of segment areas.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the setting interface further includes an adding control, and the displaying the modified segment area in response to the modification operation by the user on the multiple segment areas further includes:

in response to a operation by the user on the adding control, determining a fourth segment area, the fourth segment area being a segment area with the number of lighting areas greater than or equal to 2;

splitting the fourth segment area into two segment areas; and

displaying the modified segment area.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the operation of displaying the setting interface for segment setting, the method further includes:

sending a segment setting instruction to the lamp, the segment setting instruction being used by the lamp to control the multiple light-emitting units to output a first lighting parameter.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises:

in response to the selection operation by the user, sending area information of the first segment area to the lamp, the area information being used by the lamp to control light-emitting units corresponding to the first segment area to output a second lighting parameter, wherein the first lighting parameter is different from the second lighting parameter.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

outputting a prompt message for prompting the user that the modified segment area is saved successfully.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining the number of light-emitting units included in the lamp in response to the setting operation by the user for segment number and whether the light-emitting units included in the lamp are cropped by the user,

wherein the displaying a setting interface for segment setting further includes:

displaying the setting interface for segment setting according to the number of light-emitting units.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program which, when executed by a processor, is configured for implementing a segmentation method, the method comprising:

displaying a setting interface for segment setting, the setting interface including a plurality of segment areas, the plurality of segment areas including a plurality of lighting areas, and the plurality of lighting areas one-to-one corresponding to a plurality of light-emitting units included in a lamp such that the plurality of light-emitting units are segmented into a plurality of segments of the lamp which is virtually represented by the plurality of segment areas one-to-one, each segment area is marked by a sequential segment area number;

in response to a modification operation by a user on the plurality of segment areas, displaying a modified segment area, the modification operation being an operation by the user to modify the number of the plurality of segment areas and/or the number of lighting areas included in a segment area, and a lighting-emitting unit in each of the plurality of segments corresponding to the plurality of segment areas being controlled to display a color to indicate setting of the plurality of segment areas;

in response to a save operation by the user on the modified segment area, saving the modified segment area; and

sending segmentation information of the modified segment area to the lamp, the segmentation information being used by the lamp to control the plurality of light-emitting units to display corresponding lighting effect,

wherein, in response to the modification operation by the user on the plurality of segment areas, displaying a modified segment area further includes:

in response to a selection operation by the user on a first segment area among the plurality of segment areas, highlighting the first segment area;

in response to a processing operation by the user on the first segment area, displaying the modified segment area;
