The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In response to problems that arise in related technologies, embodiments of the present invention provide a navigation method, electronic device, and storage medium to solve the problem that the navigation methods of related technologies are not applicable in some scenarios.

The navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to at least the following two application scenarios, which are explained below:

Scenario 1: Navigation method based on wearable devices (such as smart watches). The wearable device may include a rotatable camera 10:

As shown in Figure 1, a second input is received from the user to determine the driving route; wherein the driving route includes the starting position and the ending position of the driving route; then, in response to the second input, the target navigation mode is started, and the target navigation is started after detecting In the case of mode, the navigation information is obtained according to the driving route, and based on the navigation information, the rotatable camera on the wearable device is controlled to rotate at a first angle so that the camera faces a first direction, where the first direction is the traveling direction in the navigation information. At this time, the first image 20 can be collected according to the camera, and the first image includes a real scene image in the direction of travel; a navigation logo generated according to the navigation information can be displayed on the first image to instruct the user to follow the first image with the navigation logo displayed. march. Here, when the driving route changes, the navigation information is also updated. Therefore, the camera will also update the direction according to the change of navigation information. However, when using the camera for navigation, the direction of the camera is always consistent with the user's traveling direction.

It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 1, the rotatable camera in the embodiment of the present invention rotates on the plane where the dial is located, and the viewing range of the camera can include a viewing range of 0-360 degrees from the side of the dial. In addition, the camera can be rotated through the control component during the navigation process, or can be manually adjusted by the user. Optionally, the camera can rotate within a track on the side of the dial during navigation.

In this way, the rotatable camera of the smart watch can be combined with the application of the navigation method, and the rotatable camera can be used to obtain real-time scene intelligent navigation from the user's perspective, which makes up for the shortcomings of the traditional digital model navigation method and allows more intuitive navigation through the Turn the camera to determine the direction of travel. In addition, the rotatable camera is used to provide real-time images in the direction of travel from the user's perspective, and route signs are displayed on the real-time images based on the driving route, which makes up for the shortcomings of traditional ordinary navigation methods that are single and only based on map navigation. Therefore, the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention ensures the navigation effect and facilitates the user to identify the traveling direction.

It should be noted that the function of the rotatable camera of the electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention is not fixed at a certain position like the traditional embedded camera, but changes with the change of the direction of the surface body. For example, it can be changed according to The movement direction of a person's wrist changes, which can be understood as being able to always lock in one direction like a compass.

Scenario 2: The electronic device may include a device with a video or photography function. The embodiment of the present invention takes a wearable device as an example to illustrate that the electronic device obtains the first multimedia information related to the user while navigating, wherein the multimedia The information may include an image of the user's face, audio and video information, or a real scene image in the direction of travel, etc. This embodiment of the present invention does not limit this in any way.

As shown in Figures 2 to 4, a second input is received from the user to determine the driving route; wherein the driving route may include the starting position and the ending position of the driving route; then, in response to the second input, the target navigation mode is started, and after detecting When the target navigation mode is activated, navigation information is obtained according to the driving route, and based on the navigation information, the rotatable camera 10 on the wearable device is controlled to rotate at a first angle so that the camera faces a first direction, where the first direction is in the navigation information. direction of travel. At this time, the first multimedia information 40 of the traveling route in the traveling direction can be obtained through the camera, and the first multimedia information can include the first image. Here, the electronic device may also include a front camera 30 to obtain first multimedia information related to the user in the direction of travel based on the front camera, such as roads, buildings, plants, etc. in the direction of travel. In this way, the user can share the first multimedia information in the traveling direction and the first multimedia information related to the user's face to the target user.

Thus, the direction of the rotatable camera on the electronic device is controlled to be consistent with the direction of travel in the navigation information. This can effectively solve the problem of not knowing which direction to go in the beginning of navigation, and where to go in complex road conditions.

In addition, in this scenario, when traveling or traveling somewhere, you can use the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention to take pictures while traveling. In this way, many snapshots can be obtained in the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Images or video information captured during navigation (i.e., the first multimedia information in the direction of travel) can be saved or shared as a beautiful memory. In addition, you can also record your own personal safety. For example, when riding an online car-hailing service, you can use the rotatable camera to capture obvious building information or road signs at position A, so that these obvious building information or road signs in the direction of travel can be captured. The multimedia information of the card can be retained or shared with others, and the location information can also be shared with others, which can ensure people's travel safety.

Here, in addition to the above two scenarios, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to any scenario where a user holding an electronic device needs to navigate or navigate and obtain multimedia information such as captured images or videos. Through the methods provided by the embodiments of the present invention, users holding electronic devices can be effectively prompted to pay attention to the surrounding environment and promptly avoid situations when roads are congested or car accidents occur, so as to solve the problem in related technologies of using electronic devices with smaller screens, such as: When using wearable devices for navigation, due to screen size limitations, the navigation method is not applicable in some scenarios.

It should be noted that the electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may include at least one of the following: a wearable device, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and other devices that have a rotatable camera and can navigate.

Based on the above application scenarios, the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.

Figure 5 is a flow chart of a navigation method provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 5, the navigation method may specifically include steps 510 to 520, as follows:

First, step 510, obtain navigation information. Next, in step 520, based on the navigation information, control the camera to rotate a first angle so that the camera faces a first direction, and the first direction includes the traveling direction in the navigation information.

Thus, through the acquired navigation information, the rotatable camera of the electronic device is controlled to rotate at the first angle, so that the rotatable camera faces the traveling direction in the navigation information, that is, the first direction. In this way, by combining the method in which the rotatable camera is consistent with the direction of travel, the direction of the rotatable camera clearly reminds the user of the direction of travel. Through the visual navigation method, more effective prompts of the direction of travel can be achieved.

The above steps are explained in detail below:

Step 510: Obtain navigation information.

Here, in a possible embodiment, the method first determines how to start the target navigation mode. The method may specifically include:

Receive a second input from the user to determine the driving route; wherein the driving route includes a starting position and an ending position of the driving route;

In response to the second input, target navigation mode is initiated.

For example: receiving a second input from the user from position A to position B, and in response to the second input, starting a target navigation mode, where the target navigation mode may be, in an embodiment of the present invention, facing the direction of travel through a rotatable camera. Navigation mode; or, receive the second input from the user to the address of location B. Here, the target navigation mode can be started based on location B and the automatically obtained location A where the user is currently located. Here, before starting the target navigation mode, the user's operation of selecting the target navigation mode among multiple navigation modes can also be received, wherein the multiple navigation modes can include a common navigation mode that only displays navigation information on the interface, and the present invention In the embodiment, the navigation mode uses a rotatable camera to face the direction of travel, etc. Among them, the common mode mentioned above can be specifically a mode that displays a three-dimensional model diagram or a two-dimensional plan view on the electronic device based on the map and the positioning of the electronic device, and then provides navigation for the user.

Based on this, navigation information is determined according to the first input and the target navigation mode, so that step 520 is performed.

Step 520: According to the navigation information, control the camera to rotate at a first angle so that the camera faces a first direction, where the first direction is the direction indicated in the navigation information for the user to travel. For example, when the orientation of the rotatable camera is angle A, the rotatable camera is controlled according to the first navigation information so that the camera performs plane rotation from angle A to angle B at the first angle on the plane where the dial is located. At this time, The rotatable camera is at angle B and facing the first direction. In addition, in a possible embodiment, the user's traveling direction may change, for example, from walking south to walking 500 meters south and then turning east and walking 1,000 meters. This can be achieved through the following steps:

When the navigation information indicates that the traveling direction is updated from the first direction to the second direction, the camera is controlled to rotate at a second angle so that the camera faces the second direction. The second direction here is the direction indicated by the user in the navigation information.

In this way, by combining the rotatable camera with the direction of travel, when the direction of travel changes in the navigation information, the rotatable camera can be controlled to always face the direction of the user's travel according to the navigation information, effectively solving the problem of complex problems. For road conditions and questions about where to go, the user can intuitively check the direction of travel by checking the direction of the camera without opening the screen of the electronic device.

Furthermore, in another possible embodiment, based on the above possibility, after the step of controlling the camera to rotate the first angle, it may also include:

The first image is collected through the camera, and the first image includes a real scene image in the direction of travel; a logo generated based on the navigation information is displayed on the first image.

Here, two situations can occur. The first situation is that some iconic objects can be recognized in the first image, such as traffic lights, intersections, signs, etc., in order to confirm the user's current location, and then, based on the navigation information, Relevant iconic objects on the first image are identified. The second situation is that the above-mentioned identifying object cannot be recognized. In this case, the first image can be directly identified according to the navigation information and displayed to the user.

Wherein, the logo displayed on the first image may include at least one of the following: real-time road conditions, traveling distance, traveling speed, and traveling direction. As shown in Figure 6, in the embodiment of the present invention, the real-time traffic conditions can be represented by the color of the indicator light 60 according to the real-time traffic conditions in the navigation route. For example, a green light indicates smooth traffic, a red light indicates congestion, a yellow light indicates congestion, and the traveling distance is 200 At least one of meters, driving speed such as the speed limit on this road section, please pay attention to driving safety, and driving direction such as 200 meters ahead are displayed on the first image.

What needs to be reminded is that when the driving direction changes, that is, go 100 meters forward and turn left, at this time, the direction of the rotatable camera needs to be adjusted to be consistent with the direction of the forward left turn to remind the user that they need to turn left. In embodiments of the present invention, the user can be prompted for changes in the driving direction through color changes of indicator lights, voice prompts, vibration prompts, early rotation of the rotatable camera, or screen display.

In this embodiment, the user can be instructed to travel according to the navigation route mark displayed on the first image and the direction indicated by the rotatable camera; or, according to the first image, the user can be instructed to proceed according to the voice broadcast in the form of voice broadcast. Route and direction indicated by the swiveling camera.

As a result, the rotatable camera is used to provide real-time images in the direction of travel from the user's perspective, and route signs are displayed on the real-time images based on the driving route, which makes up for the shortcomings of traditional ordinary navigation methods that are single and only based on map navigation. Therefore, the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention ensures the navigation effect and facilitates the user to identify the traveling direction.

In another possible embodiment, in order to facilitate users to share images while traveling, after controlling the camera to rotate the first angle, the embodiment of the present invention may also perform the following steps:

Control the camera to collect the first multimedia information; receive the first input from the user; and share the first multimedia information to the target user in response to the first input.

Further, in response to the first input, the first multimedia information and the geographical location information corresponding to the first multimedia information are shared to the target user.

The first multimedia information involved in the embodiment of the present invention may include at least one of the following information: images in the direction of travel, images related to the user, or audio and video information.

The electronic device may also include a front-facing camera, and based on the front-facing camera, image or audio and video information related to the user, such as the user's facial image, is obtained. Therefore, when traveling or traveling somewhere, you can use the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention to take photos while traveling.

In addition, two cameras, such as a rotatable camera and a front-facing camera, can obtain the first multimedia information at the same time or one after another. For example, if a target user needs to share location information with the user, the operation of double-clicking the screen can be received. The user determines the first multimedia information to share, or shares the first multimedia information and the geographical location information corresponding to the first multimedia information to the target user. In this way, the user does not need to stop the current process when he or she needs to share the location. You can take selfies or take other multimedia information during the journey. In addition, the user does not need to take two photos, that is, capture the multimedia information during the journey and the multimedia information related to the user during the journey. Therefore, this method can also be applied to current scenarios where anchors are traveling and live broadcasting.

In this way, many captured images obtained in the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, or the video information captured during the navigation process (that is, the first multimedia information in the direction of travel) can be saved or shared as a certain Good memories. In addition, by sharing the geographical location information to the target users, the traveling route can be recorded to ensure their personal safety (for example, taking an online ride-hailing service), so that all multimedia information in the traveling direction can be retained or shared with others. To better protect people’s travel safety.

Finally, in yet another possible embodiment, after step 520, it may also include:

Receive a third input from the user to stop the target navigation mode and start the normal navigation mode;

In response to the third input, the rotatable camera is controlled to return to a preset position, such as the original position of the rotatable camera before rotation, and the driving route is displayed in the first navigation mode.

For example: when the destination is reached or the user stops the target navigation mode, the rotatable camera can be adjusted to return to the preset position and the driving route is displayed in the normal navigation mode.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, the rotatable camera of the electronic device is controlled to rotate at a first angle through the acquired navigation information, so that the rotatable camera faces the traveling direction in the navigation information, that is, the first direction. In this way, by combining the method in which the rotatable camera is consistent with the direction of travel, the direction of the rotatable camera clearly reminds the user of the direction of travel. Through the visual navigation method, more effective prompts of the direction of travel can be achieved. In addition, the rotatable camera is used to provide real-time images in the direction of travel from the user's perspective, and route signs are displayed on the real-time images based on the driving route, which makes up for the shortcomings of traditional ordinary navigation methods that are single and only based on map navigation. Therefore, the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention ensures the navigation effect and facilitates the user to identify the traveling direction.

In order to facilitate understanding of the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, based on the above content, the following takes the above-mentioned Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 as examples to illustrate the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

Embodiment 1: Description based on the application scenario shown in Figure 1

Figure 7 is a flow chart of a navigation method based on a wearable device provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted here that the wearable device in the embodiment of the present invention includes a rotatable camera, and the following method is performed based on the wearable device.

As shown in Figure 7, the method may include steps 710 to 760, specifically as follows:

Step 710: Receive the second input from the user to determine the driving route, and determine the driving route.

The driving route includes the starting position, the ending position of the driving route, and the route from the starting position to the ending position.

Step 720, in response to the second input, display multiple navigation modes to prompt the user to select a target navigation mode.

Here, the multiple navigation modes may include a real-scene navigation mode, a normal navigation mode, etc.

Step 730: Receive a preset operation in which the user determines the real-scene navigation mode as the target navigation mode among multiple navigation modes, and activate the target navigation mode in response to the preset operation.

Step 740: When it is detected that the target navigation mode is started, the navigation information is obtained based on the navigation mode, and the rotatable camera is controlled to rotate at a first angle so that the camera faces a first direction, where the first direction includes the traveling direction in the navigation information. .

As a result, the user does not need to check the display screen of the electronic device, but only needs to look at the direction of the rotatable camera to know the direction of travel.

Step 750: Obtain the first image in the traveling direction through the rotatable camera, and display the logo determined based on the navigation information on the first image.

Wherein, at least one of the real-time road conditions, traveling distance, traveling speed, and traveling direction determined based on the navigation information is displayed on the first image.

Here, the use of shooting real-scene images can solve the problem of not knowing which direction to go at the beginning of navigation, and where to go in complex road conditions. It also solves the problem of real-scene navigation in wearable devices that requires users to align themselves with the road conditions and shoot. question.

Step 760: Display the logo generated according to the navigation information on the first image to instruct the user to travel according to the first image with the navigation route logo.

Here, the user can travel according to the first image with the navigation route identification displayed by the wearable device, or according to the navigation route in the first image broadcast by voice and the direction indicated by the rotatable camera.

For example, when the user reaches the place where he/she needs to turn, the wearable device will remind the user. If the user is not familiar with the road conditions, he/she can double-click the screen again to switch to the target navigation mode. The rotatable camera will capture a clear first image and mark the navigation route on the first image to indicate where the user should go. If the user is familiar with the road conditions, he/she does not need to switch and just follows the direction indicated by the arrow, that is, according to the direction of the rotatable camera.

It should be noted that if it receives input from the user to switch to different navigation modes or wants to save power, it will trigger the suspension of the target navigation mode and start the ordinary navigation mode.

For example: as shown in Figure 8, after the user has confirmed the travel route, double-click the first image to open the ordinary navigation mode. At this time, the first image is not displayed, but a non-real scene image 80, or an image related to the ordinary navigation mode is displayed. . Here, in a possible embodiment, while turning on the normal navigation mode, you can also enter the power saving mode to save power.

Therefore, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can effectively solve the problem of poor navigation effect of current wearable devices due to too small screen size. For example, because the screen of the wearable device only displays specific text and arrow directions, the screen is too small. The small preview of the overall situation is also inconvenient, and there is often a problem of not knowing which direction to go at the beginning of navigation. In addition, the rotatable camera can be used to provide real-time images in the direction of travel from the user's perspective, and the real-time images can be marked based on the driving route, which makes up for the shortcomings of traditional ordinary navigation methods that are single and only based on map navigation. Therefore, the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can improve the accuracy and efficiency of navigation while ensuring the navigation effect, and the navigation method can be applied in most scenarios.

Step 930: Receive a user's preset operation to determine a target navigation mode among multiple navigation modes, and activate the target navigation mode in response to the preset operation.

Step 940: When it is detected that the target navigation mode is started, the navigation information is obtained based on the navigation mode, and the rotatable camera is controlled to rotate at a first angle so that the camera faces the first way, where the first direction includes the traveling direction in the navigation information. .

Step 950: Obtain the first image in the traveling direction through the rotatable camera, and display the logo determined based on the navigation information on the first image.

Step 960: Display the logo generated according to the navigation information on the first image to instruct the user to travel according to the first image with the navigation route logo.

It should be noted that the content of the above-mentioned steps 910 to 960 is the same as the content of the steps 710 to 760 in Embodiment 1. Therefore, for details, refer to the content of the above-mentioned steps 510 to 560 and will not be repeated here.

Step 970: When it is detected that the user is traveling along the navigation route displayed in the first image, obtain the first multimedia information related to the user through the front camera.

It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 10, the rotatable camera can also be triggered to obtain the first multimedia information during travel.

Step 980: In response to the user's first input of sharing the first multimedia information, share the first multimedia information to the target user.

For example: If a friend needs you to send location information, you can double-click the screen to take a photo and click Share to send it to your friend.

Here, the target information may include at least one of the first multimedia information that the user determines to share, the geographical location information corresponding to the first multimedia information, and the first multimedia information related to the user to share with the target user. .

Here, steps 970 and 980 can be understood as: when the user is traveling, the first image, video and other first multimedia information during the traveling process are acquired by the rotatable camera, and the front camera is directed towards the user's face. , obtain the first multimedia information such as images, audio and video related to the user. In this way, the user can obtain the first multimedia information while navigating through an electronic device. Therefore, when the user goes out to travel or travel somewhere, he can use the method and method provided by the embodiment of the present invention during the travel process. Electronic devices can use the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention to obtain many captured images, or video information captured during the navigation process, such as the first multimedia information in the direction of travel or the first multimedia information related to the user. Media information can be saved or shared to become a beautiful memory.

In addition, it can also be expanded to record driving routes, for example, equipped with online car-hailing services, so that all multimedia information in the direction of travel can be retained or shared with others to better ensure people's travel safety.
