…..S130, calling the image drawing component, the image element according to the corresponding display time parameter in the display canvas for real time drawing, and the content drawn in the display canvas for real-time display.)
Xu also teaches generating and presenting video content but he is silent about the click operation.
However, Wang teaches that the video content is generated in response to a click operation (see S13, splicing and synthesizing the moving image material with a specified number, generating a video collection file recording the moving target in the preset recording time.
In order to ensure the synthesized video collecting file meets the requirement of short video, the plurality of moving image material synthesizing video collecting file, according to the specified number of video collecting file for synthesis. In some embodiments, the specified number can be set as 6 sections, the 6 sections of moving image material according to the sequence of collecting time. For example, if the duration of each motion image material can be 5 s, then the total duration of the video collection file synthesized by the 6-section motion image material is 30 s.)
In addition, performing splicing on the basis of a clocking operation is well known in the art and would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to use a clicking operation of Wang to display the video content generated by Hu.
Regarding claim 2, wherein, the acquiring an image to be processed, comprises: when a preview operation for a currently shot image is detected, acquiring the currently shot image, and using the currently shot image as the image to be processed; the automatically presenting the dynamic image comprises: automatically presenting the dynamic image on a preview interface for the currently shot image. Hu teaches (In this embodiment, the image rendering component can according to the instant video display parameter in the display canvas, according to the display time corresponding to each image element, drawing each image element, and according to the corresponding display time, continuously drawing, so that the user can view the video effect. …wherein the display time parameter of each image element can be represented by the frame sequence number corresponding to the image of each image element. That is, the image drawing component can be drawn for each frame of image in the target video, for example, image drawing component drawing the fifth frame, obtaining all image elements in the 5 frame image, drawing it according to the instant video display parameter in the display canvas.)
Regarding claim 3, wherein, the acquiring an image to be processed, comprises: when it is detected that an album interface is entered, acquiring a preset number of images closest to the current moment, and using at least one of the acquired preset number of images as the image to be processed; the automatically presenting the dynamic image comprises: automatically presenting at least one dynamic image on the album interface.Hu teaches (wherein the display time parameter of each image element can be represented by the frame sequence number corresponding to the image of each image element. That is, the image drawing component can be drawn for each frame of image in the target video, for example, image drawing component drawing the fifth frame, obtaining all image elements in the 5 frame image, drawing it according to the instant video display parameter in the display canvas.)
Regarding claim 4, wherein, the acquiring a target effect material matching the image to be processed, comprises: selecting the target effect material from effect materials in a material library according to usage condition information of the effect materials; and/or performing image recognition on the image to be processed to obtain feature information of the image to be processed; based on the feature information of the image to be processed, acquiring the target effect material matching the image to be processed.
