Abstract

The present invention discloses an image display method and apparatus, and relates to the field of Internet communications. The method includes: acquiring a source image and a user image corresponding to the source image, where the user image is a movement image generated after a user imitates the source image; processing the source image and the user image; and sending the processed source image and user image to a terminal, so that the terminal simultaneously displays the source image and the user image. The apparatus includes: an acquiring module, a processing module, and a sending module. In the present invention, a terminal simultaneously presents a source image and a user image to a user, so that the user can visually compare a difference between the user image and the source image, which is convenient for the user to imitate the source image and accelerates a learning speed of the user.

Claims

1. An image display method, wherein the method comprises:

acquiring a source image and a user image corresponding to the source image, wherein the user image is a movement image generated after a user imitates a movement in the source image;

processing the source image and the user image; and

sending the processed source image and user image to a terminal, so that the terminal simultaneously displays the source image and the user image.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the processing the source image and the user image comprises:

acquiring description information of the source image and description information of the user image, and determining a difference between the user image and the source image according to the description information of the source image and the description information of the user image;

or

sending the source image and the user image to a server, so that the server generates description information of the source image and description information of the user image according to the source image and the user image, and the server determines a difference between the user image and the source image; and

receiving the description information of the source image, the description information of the user image, and the difference between the user image and the source image that are sent by the server.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the processing the source image and the user image comprises:

setting an image size of the user image and an image size of the source image to a same size.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the sending the processed source image and user image to a terminal, so that the terminal simultaneously displays the source image and the user image comprises:

sending, to the terminal, the source image and the description information of the source image, the user image and the description information of the user image, and the difference between the user image and the source image, so that the terminal simultaneously displays the source image and the description information of the source image, and the user image and the description information of the user image, and the terminal marks the difference between the user image and the source image in the user image.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring a source image and a user image corresponding to the source image comprises:

acquiring the source image and a time stamp corresponding to the source image; and

receiving a user image that is corresponding to the time stamp and sent by an image acquisition device.

6-12. -12. (canceled)

13. An image display apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises a memory and a processor, the processor is configured to:

acquiring a source image and a user image corresponding to the source image, wherein the user image is a movement image generated after a user imitates a movement in the source image;

processing the source image and the user image; and

sending the processed source image and user image to a terminal, so that the terminal simultaneously displays the source image and the user image.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein the processing the source image and the user image comprises:

acquiring description information of the source image and description information of the user image, and determining a difference between the user image and the source image according to the description information of the source image and the description information of the user image;

or

sending the source image and the user image to a server, so that the server generates description information of the source image and description information of the user image according to the source image and the user image, and the server determines a difference between the user image and the source image; and

receiving the description information of the source image, the description information of the user image, and the difference between the user image and the source image that are sent by the server.

15. The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein the processing the source image and the user image comprises:

setting an image size of the user image and an image size of the source image to a same size.

16. The apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the sending the processed source image and user image to a terminal, so that the terminal simultaneously displays the source image and the user image comprises:

sending, to the terminal, the source image and the description information of the source image, the user image and the description information of the user image, and the difference between the user image and the source image, so that the terminal simultaneously displays the source image and the description information of the source image, and the user image and the description information of the user image, and the terminal marks the difference between the user image and the source image in the user image.

17. The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein the acquiring a source image and a user image corresponding to the source image comprises:

acquiring the source image and a time stamp corresponding to the source image; and

receiving a user image that is corresponding to the time stamp and sent by an image acquisition device.

18. The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein the apparatus is a set-top box device.

19. The apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the apparatus is a set-top box device.

20. The apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the apparatus is a set-top box device.
