Abstract

Claims (60)

1 . A method of shooting multimedia content, comprising:

initiating a first camera and a second camera, wherein the second camera is different from the first camera;

presenting in a first shooting window a first preview of a scene and in a second shooting window a second preview of the scene concurrently, the first preview outputted by the first camera and the second preview outputted by the second camera;

receiving a camera switching command;

presenting in the first shooting window the second preview and in the second shooting window the first preview concurrently; and

generating a composite multimedia content item by processing a first multimedia content item and a second multimedia content item,

wherein the first multimedia content item includes first representations of the scene captured by the first camera, and wherein the second multimedia content item includes second representations of the scene captured by the second camera,

wherein initiating the first camera and the second camera comprises:

in response to receiving a camera initiating command to initiate the first and second cameras, initiating the first and second cameras, wherein the camera initiating command is provided by a user in response to a system message about providing a composite multimedia content.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

posting the composite multimedia content item on a feed.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composite multimedia content item is generated by processing the first and the second multimedia content items based on parameters of the first and the second shooting windows, wherein the parameters include shapes and layouts of the first and the second shooting windows.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

changing one or more of the shapes and the layouts of at least one of the first shooting window or the second shooting window.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composite multimedia content item is generated during shooting.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication of shooting completion, and wherein the composite multimedia content item is generated after receiving the indication of shooting completion.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to receiving a shooting instruction,

causing the first camera to capture the first multimedia content item at a first time;

presenting a shooting prompt to indicate that the second camera is to be used for shooting; and

causing the second camera to capture the second multimedia content item at a second time, the second time separated from the first time by a predetermined interval.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the shooting prompt indicates a countdown of the predetermined interval.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first shooting window overlaps at least part of the second shooting window.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

presenting a countdown of a predefined time interval for capturing the first and the second multimedia content items; and

terminating the capturing if the predefined time interval expires.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composite multimedia content item comprises a composite picture or a composite video.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the system message prompts the first device to post the composite multimedia content item within a specified time period.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the system message indicates a category of at least one of the first multimedia content item or the second multimedia content item.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the system message is further provided to a second device different from the first device, the system message guiding the first and the second devices to acquire composite multimedia content items of a predetermined category.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second multimedia content items are acquired by a first device, and the method further comprises:

performing blur processing on the composite multimedia content item to obtain a blurred version of the composite multimedia content item;

generating a blurred multimedia content item associated with the composite multimedia content item at least based on the blurred version of the composite multimedia content item; and

providing the blurred multimedia content item associated with the composite multimedia content item to a second device that is different from the first device.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein generating the blurred multimedia content item comprises at least one of the following:

adding an illustration to the blurred version of the composite multimedia content item; or

adding, to the blurred version of the composite multimedia content item, an indication of sharing a multimedia content item in order to view the composite multimedia content item.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the second device does not post a multimedia content item via a multimedia content sharing application, the blurred multimedia content item being provided to the second device via the multimedia content sharing application.

18 . An electronic device, comprising:

at least one processing unit;

a first camera and a second camera, wherein the second camera is different from the first camera;

a display device; and

at least one memory, coupled to the at least one processing unit and storing instructions to be executed by the at least one processing unit, the instructions, when executed by the at least one processing unit, causing the electronic device to:

initiate the first camera and the second camera;

present in a first shooting window a first preview of a scene and in a second shooting window a second preview of a scene concurrently, the first preview outputted by the first camera and the second preview outputted by the second camera;

receive a camera switching command;

present in the first shooting window the second preview and in the second shooting window the first preview concurrently;

generate a composite multimedia content item by processing a first multimedia content item and a second multimedia content item, wherein the first multimedia content item includes first representations of the scene captured by the first camera, and the second multimedia content item includes second representations of the scene captured by the second camera; and

post the composite multimedia content item on a feed,

wherein initiating the first camera and the second camera comprises:

in response to receiving a camera initiating command to initiate the first and second cameras, initiating the first and second cameras, wherein the camera initiating command is provided by a user in response to a system message about providing a composite multimedia content.

19 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, with a computer program stored thereon, the computer program being executable by a processor to implement a method for multimedia content shooting, the method comprising:

initiating a first camera and a second camera, wherein the second camera is different from the first camera;

presenting in a first shooting window a first preview of a scene and in a second shooting window a second preview of a scene concurrently, the first preview outputted by the first camera and the second preview outputted by the second camera;

receiving a camera switching command;

presenting in the first shooting window the second preview and in the second shooting window the first preview concurrently;

generating a composite multimedia content item by processing a first multimedia content item and a second multimedia content item, wherein the first multimedia content item includes first representations of the scene captured by the first camera, and the second multimedia content item includes second representations of the scene captured by the second camera; and

posting the composite multimedia content item on a feed,

wherein initiating the first camera and the second camera comprises:

in response to receiving a camera initiating command to initiate the first and second cameras, initiating the first and second cameras, wherein the camera initiating command is provided by a user in response to a system message about providing a composite multimedia content.
