Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a storage medium are provided for image outputting. The method may include: acquiring data frames collected by a target camera; acquiring a target image based on the data frames; and controlling a target terminal to output an alert message which at least includes the target image. When an emergency situation occurs in a user'"'"'s home, the user can be notified of the emergency situation at once, thereby increasing the effective utilization of the smart camera device.

Claims

1. An image outputting method, comprising:

acquiring data frames collected by a target camera;

acquiring a target image based on the data frames; and

controlling a target terminal to output an alert message that at least includes the target image.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein controlling the target terminal to output the alert message comprises:

controlling the target terminal to display the target image at a visible position.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein controlling the target terminal to display the target image at the visible position includes one or more of the following:

controlling the target terminal to switch to displaying the target image;

controlling the target terminal to display the target image in a desktop background;

controlling the target terminal to display the target image in a lock screen background; and

controlling the target terminal to display the target image in a floating window.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein acquiring the target image based on the data frames comprises:

acquiring a target image indicating an abnormal event based on the data frames.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein acquiring the target image indicating an abnormal event based on the data frames comprises:

acquiring similarity between data of adjacent frames among the data frames; and

acquiring target images corresponding to the data of adjacent frames when the similarity is less than a predetermined threshold value.

6. The method according to any of claim 4, wherein the abnormal event includes one or more of the following :

a target area;

an object in the target area has changed; and

a time period to watch the target area.

7. The method according to any of claim 4, wherein the abnormal event is defined by one or more of the following:

an application scenario, an object image in the application scenario, and an acceptable identity photo.

8. The method according to any of claim 4, wherein the abnormal event is defined by one or more of the following:

a stranger photo;

a target area; and

an object in the target area.

9. The method according to any of claim 4, wherein the abnormal event is defined by one or more of the following:

a target area; and

a type of hazard in the target area.

10. The method according to any of claim 4, wherein the abnormal event includes one or more of the following events:

a stranger has entered a target area;

a location of an object in the target area has changed; and

the target area has been on fire.

11. An image outputting apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to;

acquire data frames collected by a target camera;

acquire a target image based on the data frames; and

control a target terminal to output an alert message that at least includes the target image.

12. The image outputting apparatus according to claim 11, wherein controlling the target terminal to output the alert message comprises:

controlling the target terminal to display the target image at a visible position.

13. The image outputting apparatus according to claim 12, wherein controlling the target terminal to display the target image at the visible position includes one or more of the following:

controlling the target terminal to switch to displaying the target image;

controlling the target terminal to display the target image in a desktop background;

controlling the target terminal to display the target image in a lock screen background; and

controlling the target terminal to display the target image in a floating window.

14. The image outputting apparatus according to claim 11, wherein acquiring the target image based on the data frames comprises:

acquiring a target image indicating an abnormal event based on the data frames.

15. The image outputting apparatus according to claim 14, wherein acquiring the target image indicating an abnormal event based on the data frames comprises:

acquiring similarity between data of adjacent frames among the data frames; and

acquiring target images corresponding to the data of adjacent frames when the similarity is less than a predetermined threshold value.

16. The image outputting apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the abnormal event is defined by one or more of the following:

a target area;

an object in the target area; and

a time period to watch the target area.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile terminal, cause the mobile terminal to perform acts comprising:

acquiring data frames collected by a target camera;

acquiring a target image based on the data frames; and

controlling a target terminal to output an alert message that at least includes the target image.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 17, wherein controlling the target terminal to output the alert message comprises:

controlling the target terminal to display the target image at a visible position.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 18, wherein controlling the target terminal to display the target image at the visible position includes one or more of the following:

controlling the target terminal to switch to displaying the target image;

controlling the target terminal to display the target image in a desktop background;

controlling the target terminal to display the target image in a lock screen background; and

controlling the target terminal to display the target image in a floating window.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 17, wherein acquiring the target image based on the data frames comprises:

acquiring a target image indicating an abnormal event based on the data frames;

acquiring similarity between data of adjacent frames among the data frames; and

acquiring target images corresponding to the data of adjacent frames when the similarity is less than a predetermined threshold value.
