Abstract: A method for revealing camouflaged components from an application running on a user device includes running the application on the user device, the application including a first sub-application and a second sub-application with the first sub-application being active and the second sub-application being camouflaged. The first sub-application detects a human-machine interaction. It is determined whether the detected human-machine interaction satisfies a predetermined condition. The second sub-application is activated when it is determined that the detected human-machine interaction satisfies the predetermined condition. The detected human-machine interaction is treated as a valid input for the operation of the first sub-application when it is determined that the human-machine interaction does not satisfy the predetermined condition. The second sub-application provides a first feature of a sensitive nature that is not provided by the first sub-application.

Furthermore, the method includes determining, by the controller, if the time-based metric matches one of the one or more preset parameters. Moreover, the method includes actuating, by the controller, on a successful match between the time-based metric and the one of the one or more preset parameters, the adult toy to perform a pre-defined action of the at least one predefined action, corresponding to the matched preset parameter to sexually stimulate a user of the adult toy.

Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system has an imaging device configured to obtain broadcast content of a streamer, one or more viewer devices configured to directly or indirectly control the imaging device, a streamer device configured to stream the broadcast content to the one or more viewer devices, a control module associated with the imaging device. The imaging device, the one or more viewer devices, the streamer device, the control module, and the processor are configured to receive one or more input data from the one or more viewer devices, convert the one or more input data into one or more control instructions, and in response to the one or more control instructions, use the control module to control the imaging device to perform one or more imaging functions.

Abstract: A method for controlling effects on a live video stream includes providing a video image from a content creator device and displaying the video image on a first viewer device. A selection of a sticker graphic is received on the first viewer device. A position of a user input operation on the displayed video image is determined. The determined position of the user input operation on the displayed video image is converted to a position of the user input operation on the video image. The selected sticker graphic is applied to the video image at the position of the user input operation on the video image. The applied sticker graphic is displayed along with the video image on at least the first viewer device.

Abstract: This application provides an image processing method and a related device thereof, and relates to the image processing field. The image processing method includes: displaying a preview interface, where the preview interface includes a first control; detecting a first operation on the first control; obtaining multiple frames of initial images in response to the first operation, where channel signals included in the multiple frames of initial images are different; processing each frame of initial image in the multiple frames of initial images, to obtain a processed image corresponding to each frame of initial image; and fusing the multiple frames of processed images to obtain a target image. In this application, multiple frames of initial images that include different channel information are obtained, and dynamic image fusion is completed by using the different channel information, thereby implementing maximum restoration of an image color and optimal performance of a signal-to-noise ratio.
