  • Patent number: 11978231
    Abstract: A wrinkle detection method includes: obtaining an original image, where the original image includes a face; adjusting a size of an ROI region on the original image to obtain at least two ROI images of different sizes, where the ROI region is a region in which a wrinkle on the face is located. A terminal device processes all the at least two ROI images of different sizes to obtain at least two binary images, where a white region in each binary image is a region in which a wrinkle is suspected to appear. The terminal device fuses the at least two binary images to obtain a final image, where a white region on the final image is recognized as a wrinkle.

  • Patent number: 11582179
    Abstract: In an example information search method, if a first terminal performs a first search based on a first keyword, and does not obtain a result, the first terminal generates a request for performing a second search, and sends, to a network device, the request for performing the second search. The network device sends a second request to a second terminal. The second terminal performs the second search based on the first keyword, obtains a second search result, and sends the second search result to the first terminal. Through this technique, it can be effectively ensured that a user finds a search result corresponding to the first keyword, and that user privacy is also ensured.
