Patent number: 10270975Abstract: Preview images and alternate enlarged facial preview images may be displayed in a camera display screen or viewfinder prior to shooting a picture. When an image captured by a camera during a first time duration includes a human face, a face from an image captured by the camera during a second time duration may be enlarged and displayed as an alternate preview image in the viewfinder. An instruction to shoot an image may be received and the camera may shoot or save an image captured by the camera according to the shooting instruction. The alternate preview image including the facial enlargement may be used in conjunction with use of a selfie stick to aid users looking at a distant viewfinder at the end of the selfie stick.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: XIAOMI INC.Inventors: Qiuping Qin, Zhijun Chen, Baichao Wang

Patent number: 9930156Abstract: The present disclosure, pertaining to the field of terminal technologies, relates to a method and apparatus for recommending contact information. The method may include: determining an age of an owner of a mobile terminal; determining, based on the determined age of the owner and stored contact photos of a plurality of contacts, a candidate contact from the plurality of contacts; and displaying, in response to receiving a share instruction with respect to a designated image, contact information of the determined candidate contact, the designated image being any image in a photo album to be shared. According to the present disclosure, one or more candidate contacts are determined from a plurality of contacts, and upon receipt of a share instruction with respect to a designated image, contact information of the determined candidate contact is displayed. This may improve speed and accuracy of searching for contact information, reduce search time, and enhance image sharing efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Xiaomi Inc.Inventors: Tao Zhang, Baichao Wang, Wendi Hou
