8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the first preset direction is a horizontal direction, and the second preset direction is a vertical direction.

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

when a distance between a center position of a second tracking identity and a center position of a third tracking identity in a first preset direction is greater than or equal to a first preset spacing, or a distance between the center position of the second tracking identity and the center position of the third tracking identity in a second preset direction is greater than or equal to a second preset spacing, adjusting, by the terminal device, a position of the second tracking identity and/or a position of the third tracking identity, until the distance between the center position of the second tracking identity and the center position of the third tracking identity in the first preset direction is less than the first preset spacing, or the distance between the center position of the second tracking identity and the center position of the third tracking identity in the second preset direction is less than the second preset spacing.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the terminal device displays a plurality of tracking identities, sizes of the tracking identities are the same.

11 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein when the terminal device displays a plurality of tracking identities, sizes of the tracking identities are different; and

wherein:

a size of each tracking identity is determined by the terminal device based on a size or an area occupied by an object corresponding to each tracking identity in the first window; or

the size of each tracking identity is determined by the terminal device based on a focal length between the object corresponding to each tracking identity and the first camera.
