For example, if the selected multiple images are 2 horizontal images and 2 vertical images, the more suitable display layout should contain 2 horizontal and 2 vertical and the pictures. Proportional frame. The present invention is a method for selecting a picture display type and an electronic device thereof based on the above viewpoint. In order to make the content of the present invention clearer, the following specific embodiments are examples of the invention that can be implemented.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , the electronic device 100 includes a screen 110 , a storage unit 120 , and a processing unit 130 . The electronic device 100 is, for example, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant, a smart phone, a tablet computer, an e-book, or a game machine. The type of the electronic device 100 is not limited herein.

The screen 110 is used to display a plurality of pictures. The screen 110 can be various types of touch screens, such as a resistive touch screen, a capacitive touch screen, an optical touch screen, an acoustic wave touch screen, and electromagnetic Electromagnetic touch screen, etc., but is not limited thereto. The touch screen 110 can be used as an input/output interface of the electronic device 100. That is, the screen 110 can receive a touch input from the user (eg, receive a touch signal of the user selecting a picture), and can display information in the electronic device 100 (eg, display a picture album and the selected picture). In one embodiment, the screen 110 may also be a liquid crystal screen having only a display function. The user must input through an input interface such as a mouse, a keyboard, or a tablet.

The storage unit 120 is, for example, a memory, a hard disk, or any other component that can be used to store data, and can be used to store a plurality of modules. The plurality of modules include a picture acquisition module 121, a pattern selection module 122, a sorting module 123, a calculation module 124, and a combination module 125, which are stored in the storage unit 120 in a coded format.

The processing unit 130 is coupled to the screen 110 and the storage unit 120, which may be a central processing unit (CPU) having one or more processing cores, or other programmable general purpose or special purpose microprocessors. , Digital Signal Processor (DSP), programmable controller, Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), Programmable Logic Device (PLD) or other similar devices or The combination of these devices can be used to access and execute the image acquisition module 121, the template selection module 122, the sequencing module 123, the calculation module 124, and the combination module 125 stored in the storage unit 120.

In this embodiment, after receiving a plurality of pictures selected by the user, the electronic device 100 can quickly obtain a display version that conforms to each picture and present the pictures in an appropriate size ratio, so as to put the pictures into the display one by one. Multiple frames in the layout. The specific details are as follows.

2 is a flow chart of a method for selecting a picture display version according to an embodiment of the invention. The method proposed in this embodiment can be performed by the electronic device 100 in FIG. 1, and the details of the steps of the embodiment are described below in conjunction with the various elements of FIG. 1.

In step S202, the image obtaining module 121 may obtain a plurality of pictures, wherein the pictures may be stored in the storage unit 120, or stored in a cloud server or other storage device (not shown), and are not limited thereto. Specifically, the user can directly select a picture on the screen 120, or click an image through an input interface (such as a mouse, a keyboard, a tablet, etc.) to select the self-storage unit 120 and the cloud server. Or the other storage device selects a picture to be combined, and the picture obtaining module 121 obtains the picture selected by the user according to the user's selection.

In step S204, the stencil selection module 122 selects at least one display version that matches the number of the pictures according to the number of pictures of the selected picture, wherein the display patterns have multiple frames, and the frames are The number of frames is the same as the number of pictures. That is to say, these display layouts may have different number of frames and different frame arrangement patterns, and the layout selection module 122 will select one or more display layouts having the same number of frames as the number of pictures. In addition, the display layout may also be stored in the storage unit 120, the cloud server or other storage device, and is not limited thereto.

In step S206, the sorting module 123 obtains a plurality of picture sizes after the picture is sorted, and obtains a plurality of frame sizes after the frame of the at least one display version is sorted. The frame size and image size here are, for example, the aspect ratio of the frame and the image, or the width to length ratio of the frame and the image. That is, if the frame size is the aspect ratio of the frame, the image size is the aspect ratio of the image. If the frame size is the width to length ratio of the frame, the image size is the aspect ratio of the image.

In addition, since the length and width of each frame are recorded in the information of each display version, the sorting module 123 can calculate the aspect ratio (or the aspect ratio) of each frame according to the length and width of the frame. And sorting according to the aspect ratio (or width to length ratio) of the frame to obtain the frame size sorted according to the first order in each display version. Of course, the sorting module 123 can pre-order each frame in the display version according to the aspect ratio (or width to length ratio) of the frame, thereby establishing a display version database. Thereby, the sorting module 123 can immediately start from the number of various pictures. In the display layout database, select the display layouts that match the number of images, and obtain the sorted frame size. On the other hand, since the length and width of the picture can also be recorded in the information of the picture, the sorting module 123 can also calculate the aspect ratio (or aspect ratio) of the picture according to the length and width of each picture, and according to the picture. The aspect ratio (or width to length ratio) is sorted to obtain the size of the image sorted in the second order.

For example, the sorting module 123 can sort the frames in each display version from small to large according to the aspect ratio (or aspect ratio) of the frame in each display version, and according to the aspect ratio of the image. (or width to length ratio), sorting pictures from small to large increments. Of course, in other embodiments, the sorting module 123 can also sort the frames and pictures from large to small. In addition, if the aspect ratio (or the aspect ratio) between the frames is the same, the sorting module 123 sorts according to the width (or length) of each frame. Similarly, if the aspect ratios (or width to length ratio) between the images are the same, the sorting module 123 sorts according to the width (or length) of the image.

In step S208, the calculation module 124 calculates a plurality of difference value scores between the sorted frame size and the picture size. For example, suppose the sorting module 123 sorts the aspect ratio values (or width-to-length ratio values) of the frames in each display version to R ₁ ~R _n , n is a positive integer, and the sorting module 123 sorts The aspect ratio (or the aspect ratio) after the picture is r ₁ ~r _n , respectively, and for the j display layouts, the difference value score S(T _j ) calculated by the calculation module 124 is , where T _j represents the jth display version.

Finally, in step S210, the combination module 125 selects the display version corresponding to the smallest of the difference value scores S(T _j ), and applies the picture to the display version to generate a picture combination. That is to say, in the selected display version, the combination module 125 displays the pictures sorted according to the first order correspondingly in the frame corresponding to the second order.

In order to specifically describe the selection method of the picture display version of the present embodiment, an embodiment will be described below.

3A-3E are schematic diagrams showing a method of selecting a picture display version according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 3A, the sorting module 123 of the present embodiment pre-arranges the frames in the various display layouts according to the frame size, thereby establishing a display layout database 300, wherein the layout database 300 includes Display layouts of various frame numbers T _2-1 , T _3-1 , T _3-2 , T _3-3 , T _3-4 , T _4-1 , T _4-2 , T _4-3 , T _{4 -4} , T _5-1 , T _5-2 and T _6-1, etc., but the embodiment does not limit the number of display patterns. For example, the display layout T _2-1 represents a display layout with 2 frames, T _3-1 represents the first display layout with 3 frames, and T _3-2 represents 3 graphics. The second display version of the box, T _3-3 represents the third display version with 3 frames, and so on. As shown in FIG. 3B, the sorting module 123 sorts the frame sizes of the frames in the various display layouts. Here, the sorting module 123 is sorted from small to large in accordance with the aspect ratio value of the frame. For example, for the display version T _2-1 , the aspect ratio values of the two frames are R=1/2 and R=2/2. For the display version T _3-1 , the aspect ratio values of the three frames are R=1/1 and R=2/1 and R=3/1, and so on.

Please refer to FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D. It is assumed that the number of pictures selected by the user is four, which are respectively pictures P1 to P4, and the picture obtaining module 121 selects four pictures in the version database 300 according to the number of pictures. The number of display layouts, that is, the display layout with 4 frames, such as display patterns T _4-1 , T _4-2 , T _4-3 and T _4-4 , and the sorting module 123 will respectively The frame sizes of the display layouts T _4-1 , T _4-2 , T _{4-3 ,} and T _{4-4 are} sorted from small to large increments. For example, for the display version T _4-1 , the sorted frame size is sequentially R _1-1 ~ R _1-4 . For the display version T _4-2 , the sorted frame size is sequentially R _2-1 ~ R _2-4 , and so on. On the other hand, the sorting module 123 also sorts the picture sizes of the pictures P1 to P4 to obtain the picture sizes r ₁ to r ₄ after the pictures P1 to P4 are sorted from small to large.

Next, the calculation module 124 calculates the sorted frame sizes R _1-1 ~ R _1-4, R _2-1 ~ R _2-4, R _3-1 ~ R _3-4, and R _4-1 ~ R _4-4 respectively, the difference value score between the picture sizes r ₁ and r _n is used to select the display version corresponding to the smallest difference value score. As shown in FIG. 3E, assuming that the difference between the frame size R _2-1 ~ R _2-4 and the picture size r ₁ ~ r ₄ in the display version T _4-2 is the smallest, the combination module 125 will Select this display version T _4-2 to combine the pictures P1~P4. That is to say, the combination module 125 displays the pictures P1~P4 correspondingly in the frame of the corresponding position according to the frame size of the frame size and the size of the picture size increasing from small to large, so that the pictures P1~P4 are combined into one. The new picture combination 30 is displayed on the screen 110. In this way, the user can quickly obtain the display version T _4-2 corresponding to each picture P1~P4 and present the pictures P1~P4 in an appropriate size ratio by selecting the pictures P1~P4 to obtain a new leaflet. Picture combination 30.

In summary, in the method for selecting a picture display type and the electronic device of the embodiment, the electronic device provides a selection mechanism for combining a plurality of pictures into a picture layout of a single multi-frame. The number of pictures selected by the user determines how many frames the display version can be applied to, and the electronic device selects the display version that matches the number of pictures, and the number of frames is the same as the number of pictures. Then, the electronic device obtains the frame size sorted according to the proportional size, and the image size sorted according to the same scale, and calculates the difference value score S(Tj) between the frame size and the image size in each display version. : Where T _j represents the jth display version, R _i is the frame size of each frame in the jth display version, and r _i is the picture size of each picture. Finally, the electronic device selects the display version with the smallest difference value score as the display version of the image, and fills the image into the above-mentioned sorted frames one by one according to the order of the image size, so as to be more The pictures are combined into a new single picture. In this way, the user can quickly obtain a display version that conforms to the appropriate size ratio of each picture after selecting the picture, without manually selecting the display version, and does not need to manually change the frame or picture of the placed picture. s position. In this way, the embodiment can improve the convenience of the user to select a picture display layout.
