Description

Method and device for providing photo recommendation information

Technical Field

The present application relates to the technical field of e-commerce transaction platforms, and in particular to a method and device for providing photo recommendation information.

Background Art

On e-commerce platforms, sellers need to publish information about the items they sell so that buyers can view them and determine whether they meet their needs. When sellers publish their product information, they often need to upload photos to showcase the items. For certain special items, showcasing their features or effects through photos often requires more than just the item itself; photos also need to show the item in a specific state. Such photos are more valuable and better reflect the product's characteristics. For example, for items like clothing, shoes, and hats, it can be difficult to capture their characteristics when simply laying them flat. Therefore, photos are often taken of people wearing the items, then uploaded to a server for display. During this process, sellers often want to capture good photos to enhance the quality of their displayed items. The quality of a photo depends heavily on factors such as the subject's pose and the angle of the shot.

In practice, large businesses typically hire professional models and photographers to photograph their products to achieve better results and enhance their products. However, this approach is costly. Consequently, some small or individual sellers may choose to act as models themselves, or hire amateur models, with photographers who may not be professional enough. While this approach keeps costs down, the resulting images may not be as good. This is primarily due to the models' lack of professionalism and inability to strike appropriate poses based on the style, texture, and material of the clothing. Consequently, the product's characteristics may not be highlighted, and some may even be detracted from. Furthermore, photographers who are not professional enough may be unable to guide the models in proper poses or adjust angles. In short, capturing high-quality photos that truly promote or enhance their products is difficult for small or individual sellers.

Therefore, how to effectively guide seller users to take high-quality photos is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of this application.

In an embodiment of the present application, in order to effectively guide seller users to take high-quality photos, a photo template database can be provided in advance. The database stores some template photos. These template photos generally contain some character information, as well as information such as the clothes, shoes and hats worn by the characters. In this way, when the user needs to take a photo, he or she can choose it by himself or the system can recommend a photo template for him or her. The user can refer to the posture of the character in the template, the shooting angle, etc. to take the photo.

There are many ways to build a photo template database. For example, you can manually collect some good photos and save them in the template database. Alternatively, you can generate a photo template database based on the massive image database of an e-commerce trading platform.

In the photo template database, in addition to storing the image data of each photo template, the description information of each photo template can also be saved for subsequent matching operations with the description information of the photographed object carried in the seller user's photo request, and automatically recommending a photo template that meets the seller user's needs.

The description information of the photo template is related to the description information of the object displayed in the photo template. For example, the description information of the commodity object displayed in the photo template (including identifiers such as ID, category, and the identity of the seller to which it belongs, etc.) can be used as the description information of the photo template. Alternatively, the description information of the person's characteristics displayed in the photo template (including the person's gender, body shape, etc.) can also be used as the description information of the photo template. Of course, when saving the description information of the photo template, two or more types of information can be combined as the description information of the photo template, and different templates in the same template database can also set description information from different aspects.

Furthermore, to highlight the person's features in the photo template, in a preferred embodiment, when saving each template image in the template database, a body contour curve of the person's features can also be extracted from the template image and stored in the template database. The so-called body contour curve is a contour curve depicted based on the person's appearance in the template. For example, for the photo template shown in FIG1 , the body contour curve of the person included in the template can be shown in FIG2 . In this case, the structure of the template data stored in the database can be as shown in Table 1 (assuming that the description information of the product object is used as the search condition):

Table 1

There are several ways to store body contour curve information in the template database. For example, after extracting the body contour curve, the coordinates of each pixel on the curve can be determined and used to describe the curve. Alternatively, the curve can be described using functions, vectors, and other methods. This curve can also be provided to users when providing them with a photo template, helping them more accurately adjust their photo pose and angle. The specific usage of this curve will be detailed later in this article.

In addition, when saving the correspondence between template images and search conditions in the template database, the locations of key body parts in the character features of each template image can also be analyzed and saved in the template database. In this case, in addition to saving the coordinates of each pixel point in the body contour curve, the database can also save the names of each key body part and the corresponding coordinates. For example, the specific storage structure can be shown in Table 2 (assuming that the description information of the product object is used as the search condition):

Table 2

In this way, when the client displays the body contour curve, it can read the names of each body part on the curve and the corresponding position information from the database, and mark the names of specific key body parts and the corresponding position information on the body contour curve. In this way, the user can more intuitively determine how to place each body part to better match the pose of the model in the template.

In summary, with a pre-established database of photo templates, the embodiments of the present application can provide sellers with a reference for taking photos, helping them capture high-quality photos that more effectively showcase the characteristics of their merchandise or its effects in a specific state. The specific implementation is described in detail below.

Example 1

Referring to FIG3 , the first embodiment of the present application first provides a method for providing photo recommendation information from the perspective of a client. The method may include the following steps:

S301: Receive a request from a seller user to submit a photo of a specified product object;

In specific implementation, the seller user's request can be received in a variety of ways. For example, in one way, a first operation entrance for submitting photos can be provided in the seller user's product object information publishing interface, and the seller user's request is received through the first operation entrance.

Furthermore, for seller users, after publishing information about a product object, an editing interface for the product object information is generally still provided to the user. Through this editing interface, the seller user can submit additional information such as photos for the published product object. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, a second operation entry for submitting photos can also be provided in the editing interface for the published product object information. In this way, a request from the seller user to submit a photo of the published product object can be received through this second operation entry.

S302: Obtain description information of the object to be photographed;

The object to be photographed consists of two parts: one is the commodity object to be photographed, and the other is the person to be photographed wearing the commodity object. When obtaining the descriptive information of the object to be photographed, it can also be obtained from these two parts separately. Of course, it is also possible to obtain only the descriptive information of the commodity object to be photographed, or only the descriptive information of the person to be photographed.

Specifically, when obtaining descriptive information of the object to be photographed, one of the most direct ways is for the user who initiates the photo request to submit it. For example, an operation entry (for example, an input box, a selection box, a button, etc.) for submitting the descriptive information of the object to be photographed can be provided in the user interface. When the user initiates a request to obtain a photo template, the user can submit the descriptive information of the object to be photographed through the operation entry.

Of course, in specific implementations, to reduce user operational costs, some automatic or semi-automatic methods for obtaining descriptive information about the photographed object can also be provided. For example, when a photo request is received through the aforementioned first operation portal, the descriptive information about the product to be photographed can be obtained from the product description information already entered in the product information publishing interface. The descriptive information about the product to be photographed can serve as the description of the photographed object or a portion thereof. In addition, the descriptive information about the person being photographed can also be obtained. For example, the user can be asked to enter data such as the gender and body shape of the user being photographed. Alternatively, if the person being photographed is a registered user on the trading platform, the descriptive information can be automatically obtained from the user's registered user profile or historical reviews after the user's identity information is submitted on the trading platform. For example, a user may have entered their height, weight, and other body shape information when reviewing a product in the past, and this information is typically recorded in the historical record database. Therefore, the user's body shape information can be obtained from the historical review data recorded in the historical record database. In this case, the client only needs to obtain the user's identity information, such as the user ID, and upload it to the server. The server then obtains the user's gender, height, weight, and other information based on the user ID.

When receiving a user's photo request through the aforementioned second operation portal, the server may be requested for the description information of the published product object and the description information of the product object to be photographed may be obtained from the server.

S303: Sending a request to the server for obtaining a photographic template, wherein the request carries the description information, so that the server matches the description information of the object to be photographed with the description information of each photographic template in a template database to obtain a matching target photographic template, wherein the template database stores a plurality of photographic templates and their corresponding description information, and the description information of the photographic template is related to the description information of the object displayed in the photographic template;

After obtaining the description information of the photographed object, a request for a photographing template can be sent to the server, and the description information of the photographed object can be carried in the request. In this way, the server can match this description information with the description information of each photographing template, obtain a matching photographing template and return it to the client.

S304: Providing photo recommendation information based on the matching target photo template returned by the server;

After obtaining the matching target template, the various selectable photo templates can be displayed to the user in the front-end interface, and a selection operation entry (such as a button, etc.) can be provided to the user, so that the user can select the template he needs from various templates according to his needs.

After determining the target photo template, the client can automatically activate the image capture device on the user terminal device by calling a preset interface. At this time, the dynamic image captured by the image capture device will be displayed on the image interface of the user terminal device. If the photo template database contains a person's body contour curve, a body contour curve diagram of the person's features in the target photo template can also be displayed on the upper layer of the image interface. The so-called body contour curve diagram is a contour curve depicted based on the person's features in the template. For example, for the photo template shown in Figure 1, the body contour curve diagram of the person's features contained therein can be specifically displayed as shown in Figure 2 (the image captured by the image capture device is not shown in Figure 2). In specific implementation, the corresponding curve in Table 1 can be displayed in a certain color (e.g., black) on the upper layer of the image screen, while the rest of the image is transparent. In this way, the user can see a body contour curve on the upper layer of the image screen without obstructing other image content.

It should be noted that when the user adjusts the shooting angle of the terminal device, the body contour curve of the character features displayed on the upper layer of the image screen remains unchanged relative to the physical coordinates of the terminal device screen. In this way, the user can match the body contour curve displayed on the interface by continuously changing his or her posture until the user observes with the naked eye that the body contour curve he or she poses matches the body contour curve displayed in the interface, which proves that the user has posed the character features in the template, and ultimately a better photo effect can be obtained.

It should also be noted that, in specific implementations, the location of the image capture device in the terminal device may vary. In particular, mobile terminal devices may have both a front-facing camera and a rear-facing camera. In the embodiments of the present application, the activated image capture device can be either front-facing or rear-facing. If it is front-facing, the user can take a selfie and make adjustments on their own. If a rear-facing image capture device is used, other photographers will need to guide the user being photographed in making adjustments. However, the basis for the adjustments is the body contour curve of the person's features displayed on the upper layer of the image screen.

In addition, to better determine the location of various body parts during the photo shoot, the locations of various important body parts can be marked on the body contour curve when the character's body contour curve is displayed on the upper layer of the image screen. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the "vertex of the face," "left shoulder position," "chest position," "hip point," "right hand position," and so on are marked, which can more intuitively guide the user in making adjustments. The location information of the key body parts in the character's features in the template can be pre-stored in the template database, as shown in Table 2. Therefore, when the body contour curve is displayed, the names and coordinates of the key body parts on the curve can be read from the database, and the names and locations of the specific key body parts can be marked on the body contour curve. This allows the user to more intuitively determine how to position each body part to better match the character's features in the template.

S305: After receiving the request to upload the photographed picture, the photographed picture and the identification information of the designated product object are uploaded to the server so that the server saves the association between the photographed picture and the identification information of the designated product object for displaying the photographed picture in the details page of the designated product object.

After determining that the user needs to perform a capture operation, a capture instruction can be sent to the image capture device, which will then capture the currently captured image and upload the generated photo and the identification information of the specified product object to the server. In this way, the server can save the association between the captured image and the identification information of the specified product object and add the photo to the detailed information of the corresponding product object for display to the browser on the detailed information page.

It should be noted that, in specific implementation, the photo template may be searched after the image capture device in the terminal device is started (the search process starts from step S302), or the photo template may be searched first and then the image capture device in the terminal device is started to take photos. In actual applications, this can be determined according to actual needs.

There are multiple ways to determine whether the user needs to perform a shooting operation. For example, in one method, after the user has adjusted according to the body contour curve, the user can manually press the shooting button on the terminal device. At this time, it can be determined that the user needs to perform a shooting operation. This method is more suitable for situations where a rear camera is used and others assist in shooting. However, for selfies using a front camera, if the user needs to operate the shooting button of the terminal device, it may affect the effect of the pose. Therefore, in another implementation method, the application can automatically determine whether the shooting operation needs to be performed, that is, the user does not need to operate the shooting button of the terminal device, and the application can automatically identify whether the shooting operation can be performed.

In specific implementation, there can also be multiple ways to achieve this automatic recognition process. For example, in one way, the image capture device can identify the image subject in the photographed object. For example, when a person appears in the shooting field of view, the image capture device will automatically identify the person as the image subject. In the embodiment of the present application, the main subject being photographed is the person. Therefore, the person can be set as the image subject to be photographed in advance, and the motion state of the person can be identified. During the user's adjustment process, the person will be in a motion state, and after the adjustment, the user will generally keep it unchanged. Therefore, the image capture device can identify that the image subject remains relatively still. Furthermore, after discovering that the image subject remains still for a preset time length, it can be automatically determined that a shooting operation needs to be performed, and the currently captured image can be saved as a photo file.

Alternatively, in another implementation, the body contour curve of the captured image subject can be extracted in real time, and the degree of fit between the captured person's body contour curve and the body contour curve diagram of the person's features in the target photo template can be calculated in real time. If the degree of fit between the two reaches a certain threshold, it is equivalent to that the user has made a relatively suitable pose, and therefore, it can be determined that the shooting operation needs to be executed. Of course, this method of automatically performing the shooting operation is also applicable when using a rear-mounted image capture device and with the assistance of others. In this case, the user who is assisting the shooting only needs to help the subject adjust, and after the adjustment is made, the shooting operation will be automatically triggered.

Of course, in actual applications, some users may not want other users to see the real faces of the people in the photos they actually took when uploading them. In this case, in an embodiment of the present application, an operation entry for masking the facial area can also be provided to the user. The user can manually process the generated photo and perform operations such as mosaicing the facial area. Alternatively, the embodiment of the present application can also automatically identify the facial area of the person included in the generated photo file, mask the facial area, and then save the processed photo. Regarding the function of automatically masking the facial area, a setting entry can be provided for the user to choose whether to enable or disable this function.

In addition, when taking a photo, if the background selected has a high color similarity with the clothes worn by the user, the display effect of the entire photo may not be good enough, or the characteristics of the product to be displayed may not be highlighted enough. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the main color of the image subject and the main color of the background in the generated photo can also be identified, and the similarity between the two can be calculated. If the similarity between the main color of the image subject and the main color of the background reaches a preset threshold, the main color of the background can be replaced. Among them, the main color of the background after replacement can be determined based on the main color before replacement. In specific implementation, the correspondence between the main colors before and after replacement can be pre-set. After determining that replacement is required, the corresponding relationship can be queried to determine which color to replace the main color of the background.

In summary, through the first embodiment of the present application, multiple optional photo templates can be set in the server in advance. When the seller user needs to provide a photo of the product object specified by him, a matching target photo template can be recommended based on the description information of the photographed object. In this way, the user can adjust his posture, shooting angle, etc. according to the photo template, and finally obtain a better photo effect, so that the product object picture displayed in the product object details interface can better show the characteristics of the product object.

Example 2

Referring to FIG5 , a second embodiment of the present application provides a method for providing photo recommendation information from the perspective of a server. The server stores a template database containing multiple photo templates and their corresponding descriptions. The descriptions of the photo templates are related to the descriptions of the objects displayed in the photo templates. Specifically, the method may include the following steps:

S501: Receive a search request for obtaining a photographing template sent by a client, wherein the request carries description information of an object to be photographed;

The photographed subject generally includes both the merchandise and the person being photographed. Therefore, the descriptive information for the photographed subject may include the merchandise's descriptive information and/or the person's descriptive information. The descriptive information for the merchandise may include the merchandise's ID, category, model/style/material, and the seller's identifier, etc. The descriptive information for the person being photographed primarily refers to the person's height, weight, and other body measurements. In a specific implementation, the request may include one or more of these descriptive information.

S502: performing a matching operation on the description information of the object to be photographed and the description information of each photographing template in the template database;

After obtaining the subject's descriptive information, the subject's descriptive information can be used to match the descriptive information corresponding to each photo template. Specifically, matching can be performed based solely on the gender and body shape data of the person's features, or solely on descriptive information such as the category of the displayed product. A combination of the two can also be used to perform matching based on both aspects. If the "personal descriptive information" includes multiple data segments, such as a male model's body shape data, which includes height, weight, shoulder width, leg length, waist circumference, and other data segments, each piece of body shape data can be matched against the subject's body shape data to select the photo template that best suits the subject. Of course, in a specific implementation, only one or several pieces of body shape data can be used for matching. Specifically, to select photo templates that match the subject's body shape data, the difference between the subject's body shape data and the person's body shape data can be calculated to obtain the relative difference between the two. The photo template corresponding to the person's body shape data with the smallest relative difference, or with body shape data less than a preset threshold, is then determined as the matching target photo template.

S503: Returning the successfully matched target photo template to the client, so that the client can use the target photo template to provide photo recommendation information;

After the server determines a successful match for the target photo template, it can return it to the client. Of course, if the template database also stores body contour curve information of the person's features included in the photo template, this information can also be returned to the client. In this way, when the client provides photo recommendation information, it can also provide this body contour curve information to the user to facilitate the user's adjustment.

In addition, if the template database also stores the names and coordinates of the key body parts in the character features included in the photo template, they can also be returned to the client. When the client displays the body contour curve, it can read the names and coordinates of the key body parts on the curve from the database, and mark the names and locations of the specific key body parts on the body contour curve. In this way, the user can more intuitively determine how to place each body part to better match the character features in the template.

S504: Receive the photographed picture submitted by the client and the identification information of the designated product object, and save the association between the photographed picture and the identification information of the designated product object for displaying the photographed picture on the details page of the designated product object.

When a user's photo request is received through the aforementioned first operation entrance, after receiving the request to upload the photo, the photo and the identification information of the currently published product object can be uploaded to the server. In this way, the server can save the association between the photo and the identification information of the currently published product object for displaying the photo in the details page of the currently published product object.

When a user's photo request is received through the aforementioned second operation entrance, after receiving the request to upload the photo, the photo and the identification information of the published product object can be uploaded to the server. In this way, the server can save the association between the photo and the identification information of the product object for displaying the photo in the details page of the product object.

The second embodiment corresponds to the first embodiment, but the description angles are different. The specific implementation details can be found in the introduction of the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

Corresponding to the method for providing photo recommendation information provided in the first embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application further provides a device for providing photo recommendation information. Referring to FIG6 , the device may specifically include:
