[0024] This disclosure will now be discussed with reference to several example implementations. It should be understood that these implementations are discussed only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and thus implement this disclosure, and not to imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0025] It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in this disclosure in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and user authorization should be obtained.

[0026] For example, upon receiving a user's active request, a prompt message is sent to the user to explicitly inform them that the requested operation will require the acquisition and use of the user's personal information. This allows the user to independently choose whether to provide personal information to the software or hardware, such as the electronic device, application, server, or storage medium performing the operations of this disclosed technical solution, based on the prompt message.

[0027] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to a user's active request, sending a prompt message to the user can be done via a pop-up window, where the prompt message can be presented in text format. Furthermore, the pop-up window can also include a selection control allowing the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0028] It is understood that the above notification and user authorization process are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of this disclosure. Other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of this disclosure.

[0029] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0030] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects unless explicitly stated. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0031] This document uses a smartphone as an example to illustrate an exemplary user interface. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments of this disclosure are equally applicable to other devices with screens, such as tablets, laptops, desktop computers, wearable devices with screens, and devices with foldable screens. Furthermore, the interfaces provided herein are for illustrative purposes only, and some elements may be omitted or have different numbers, and may include more elements not shown. Additionally, the interfaces according to embodiments of this disclosure may have a different layout than those shown in the accompanying drawings, and the positions of the elements may also differ. This disclosure does not impose limitations in these respects.

[0032] The inventors noticed some problems. In applications with video editing capabilities, the existing interactive design for switching from the standard editing page to the advanced editing page is quite inconvenient. This leads some users to only use a few familiar function buttons (such as filters) within the standard editing page, without recognizing the more powerful video editing capabilities of the advanced editing page. Therefore, too many user submissions produced by standard editing are detrimental to improving the quality of submissions on short video platforms. Providing a convenient mechanism for switching between the standard and advanced editing pages would be beneficial.

[0033] In view of this, this disclosure provides a method for switching interfaces, which allows users to enter an advanced editing page from a normal editing page by swiping, thereby enhancing users' awareness of the advanced editing capabilities within the normal editing page, increasing user interaction for quick access to the advanced editing page, and improving the overall submission quality of the platform. The embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 9.

[0034] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first interface 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In this document, the first interface 100 is an example of a general editing page according to embodiments of the present disclosure. When a user performs general editing of a short video using an electronic device, the electronic device can display the first interface 100 shown in Figure 1. The electronic device can be a terminal with a screen, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, or laptop computer. For example, a user adds or records a short video through a short video application on the electronic device for general editing. In some implementations, the user can click or touch the general editing function icon on the screen to enter the first interface 100 as shown in Figure 1.

[0035] The first interface 100 may include a video playback area 101 (referred to as the first area), from which the user can view and play the video currently to be edited. The first interface 100 may also include a toolbar 102, which may include one or more interactive controls, such as settings icons, download icons, one-click video creation icons, text addition icons, filter icons, sticker icons, etc. In some implementations, the toolbar 102 may also include an advanced editing icon. The advanced editing icon can link to an advanced editing page (referred to as the second interface), so that when the user clicks or touches the advanced editing icon, the electronic device can jump to display the advanced editing page for the currently edited video. The first interface 100 may also include a control area 103, which includes other controls with different functions than the controls in the toolbar 102, such as controls 103-1 and 103-2. For example, when the user clicks control 103-1, the current video can be published directly, or when the user clicks or touches control 103-2, the user will be switched to the next page where they can configure more details of the video publication.

[0036] When a user interacts with the advanced editing icon on toolbar 102, or performs a swipe operation on the first interface 100, the electronic device can switch to displaying the second interface 200 as shown in FIG2, which illustrates a schematic diagram of the second interface 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. It is understood that the first interface 100 in FIG1 is for illustrative purposes only, and ordinary editing pages may have different layouts or designs, which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0037] Figure 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of a second interface 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In this document, the second interface 200 is an example of an advanced editing page according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the second interface 200 may include a video playback area 201 (which may be referred to as a second area) from which the user can view and play the video currently to be edited. The second interface 200 may also include an editing area 202, which provides enhanced editing capabilities for the video to be edited compared to the first interface 100. For example, the editing area 202 may include a timeline 203, allowing the user in the second interface 200 to perform frame-by-frame processing and multi-track editing of the video to be edited by dragging the timeline 203. The second interface 200 may also include an enhanced toolbar 204. The enhanced toolbar 204 includes controls that have the same functionality as the controls in the toolbar 102 of the first interface 100, and also includes one or more controls with enhanced functionality, such as audio editing icons, effects icons, etc.

[0038] According to embodiments of this disclosure, when a user uses a swipe gesture (e.g., an upward swipe gesture) to transition from a first interface 100 to a second interface 200, the electronic device can display a transition effect for the interface switch. In some embodiments, changes in the position of the user's gesture can cause changes in the position of the second page; in other words, the position of the second page follows the gesture, and wherever the gesture moves, the second page is displayed without any lag. Based on this approach, an interaction for quickly entering and exiting an advanced editing page from a normal editing page is provided, improving the user experience.

[0039] Figure 3 illustrates a schematic diagram 300 of an interface during a swipe-up operation according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, when a user uses a swipe-up gesture 301 on the first interface 100, the first area 101 can gradually shrink and move from the bottom to the top of the screen of the electronic device, while the editing area 202 of the second interface 200 fades in from the bottom of the screen. Simultaneously, the toolbar 102 and control area 103 in the first interface 100 can be gradually hidden in a fade-out manner. In some embodiments, the opacity of the editing area 202 of the second interface 200 and the control area 103 of the first interface 100 can change with the distance the gesture 301 moves. For example, the initial opacity of the editing area 202 is 0 and gradually increases, while the opacity of the control area 103 is initially 1 and gradually decreases. It is understood that the gesture 301 is for illustrative purposes only and is not displayed in the actual interface.

[0040] In some implementations, a threshold distance for the first region 101 to move upwards can be obtained first. Then, based on the ratio of the actual movement distance of the swipe gesture to the distance threshold, the first region 101 can be uniformly shrunk to make the transition effect more natural. The distance threshold can correspond to the distance from the target position of the editing area 202 (e.g., the top of the editor area 202 in Figure 2) to the bottom of the screen. When the actual distance moved by the swipe gesture reaches this distance threshold, it means that the first region 101 has shrunk and moved to the target position. In some embodiments, the distance threshold can also be greater than or less than the distance from the target position to the bottom (e.g., with a certain proportional relationship), thereby achieving a more refined or sensitive interface switching.

[0041] In some implementations, the transition effect shown in Figure 3 can be achieved by splicing the first interface 100 and the second interface 200. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram 400 of a transition interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, the first interface 100 and the second interface 200 are spliced ​​together to form a transition interface 400. In the transition interface 400, the first interface 100 obscures the second region 201 of the second interface 200, and the editing area of ​​the second interface 200 is below the first region 101 of the first interface 100 and is preset to be transparent (i.e., the opacity is 0).

[0042] Therefore, after constructing the transition interface 400, the user's initial view on the screen is still the first interface 100. When the user performs an upward swipe gesture on the screen, the entire transition interface 400 is moved upward according to the distance of the swipe gesture, and the opacity of the editing area 202 of the second interface 200 is gradually adjusted to achieve a fade-in effect. Simultaneously, as the transition interface 400 moves upward, the opacity of the toolbar 102 and control area 103 is evenly adjusted to achieve a fade-out effect. When the upward movement distance of the editing area 202 of the transition interface 400 reaches a threshold, the occlusion of the second area 201 is eliminated, and the second interface 200 is fully displayed, thus achieving the switching display from the first interface 100 to the second interface 200. The process of switching interfaces is further explained below with reference to Figure 5.

[0043] Figure 5 shows a schematic flowchart of a process 500 for switching interfaces according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, in step 501, the user performs a swipe gesture input on the first interface 100. In step 502, the electronic device can determine whether swiping up to enter the advanced editing page is supported. If supported, in step 503, it continues to determine whether the user's swipe gesture is an upward swipe gesture. If it is an upward swipe gesture, in step 504, the electronic device can begin some data preparation and data processing work to construct the second interface 200.

[0044] Starting from step 505, the electronic device can begin constructing the transition interface 400. First, in step 505, the second area 201 of the second interface 200 is hidden by masking the first interface 100, and the editing area 202 is preset to transparent. In step 506, the second interface 200 can be positioned below the first interface 100 to complete the construction of the transition interface 400. In step 507, the position and opacity of the lower half of the second interface 200 can be adjusted based on the distance of the user's gesture swipe to achieve a fade-in effect. In step 508, when the user moves the second interface 200 a distance that reaches a threshold using gestures, the opacity of the editing area 202 can be set to 0, and the masking of the second area 201 can be removed to display the entire second interface. Finally, in step 509, the interface switching process ends.

[0045] In some implementations, a threshold for the user's gesture swipe distance can also be set. When the user completes the swipe gesture and releases their hand, if the movement distance of the second interface 200 has not yet reached the threshold while the user's gesture swipe distance has, an animation effect can be used to move the second interface 200 to its final position.

[0046] The inventors also noted that the initialization process of the advanced editing page also affects the continuity and smoothness of the swipe-up process. Figure 6A shows a schematic flowchart of an initialization process 600A of an advanced editing page according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6A, the initialization process may include the following steps: model state switching 601, copying model data 602, preprocessing model data 603, resetting confirmation 604, and UI refresh 605. After the swipe-up gesture is recognized, the entire initialization process of the advanced editing page runs serially in the main thread. Based on the above, the transition process of the interface display may be affected by the excessive time consumption of some steps (e.g., copying model data 602 and preprocessing model data 603), thus affecting its smoothness.

[0047] Figure 6B illustrates a schematic flowchart of another advanced editing page initialization process 600B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, including another example of the initialization process for an advanced editing page. As shown in Figure 6B, the steps in the initialization process are distributed to be executed simultaneously in the main thread and background threads. The relatively time-consuming steps of copying model data 602 and preprocessing model data 603 are distributed to be executed in the background thread, while the other steps are executed sequentially in the main thread. In this way, the advanced editing page can be constructed more quickly when the user performs an upward swipe input, ensuring the continuity and smoothness of the entire interface switching display process.

[0048] The interface design and interaction process for switching from a normal editing page to an advanced editing page according to embodiments of the present disclosure are described above with reference to Figures 1 to 6B. Compared with existing interface switching display designs, embodiments of the present disclosure allow users to enter the advanced editing page from the normal editing page by swiping, thereby enhancing users' awareness of the advanced editing capabilities within the normal editing page, increasing user interaction for quick access to the advanced editing page, and improving the overall submission quality of the platform.

[0049] Figure 7 illustrates a flowchart of a method 700 for switching interfaces according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Method 700 can be implemented by any electronic device including a screen that has computing and display capabilities. At block 710, a first interface is displayed on the screen, the first interface including a first area for playing video and a toolbar for editing video. At block 720, in response to detecting a swipe operation on the screen, the first interface is gradually transitioned to a second interface in sync with the swipe operation, the second interface including a second area for playing video and an editing area providing enhanced editing capabilities for the video. By way of example only, the first interface could be the first interface 101 in Figure 1, and the second interface could be the interface 200 in Figure 2.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first region occupies at least the bottom of the screen, and the swipe operation includes an upward swipe operation starting from the bottom of the first interface, wherein the gradual transition of the first interface to the second interface in sync with the swipe operation includes: shrinking the first region and moving it from the bottom to the top of the screen during the movement of the upward swipe operation, while simultaneously sliding the editing area of ​​the second interface from the bottom of the screen.

[0051] In some embodiments, during the swipe-up movement, the editing area of ​​the second interface fades in from the bottom of the screen.

[0052] In some embodiments, during the swipe-up operation, the toolbar of the first interface is gradually hidden in a fade-out manner.

[0053] In some embodiments, shrinking the first region includes: obtaining a distance threshold for the first region to move upwards; and shrinking the first region based on the ratio of the actual movement distance of the swipe operation to the distance threshold.

[0054] In some embodiments, method 700 may further include: in response to the first region moving a distance toward the top reaching the distance threshold, switching the display of the second region at the position of the first region.

[0055] In some embodiments, method 700 may further include: constructing a transition page by splicing a first interface and a second interface, wherein the first interface obscures a second area of ​​the second interface in the transition interface, and the editing area of ​​the second interface is below the first area and is preset to be transparent; in response to detecting a user's swipe-up operation, moving the transition interface upward and adjusting the opacity of the editing area of ​​the second interface according to the movement distance of the swipe-up operation; and in response to the upward movement distance of the editing area of ​​the second interface reaching a threshold, eliminating the obscuration of the second area and fully displaying the second editing function area.

[0056] In some embodiments, the process of transitioning from the first interface to the second interface is performed in the main thread, and method 700 may further include: in response to detecting a swipe operation, performing data preparation and data repair operations in a background thread.

[0057] In some embodiments, the toolbar of the first interface includes an interface switching control, and the method 700 may further include: in response to the interface switching control being triggered, switching the screen from the first interface to the second interface.

[0058] In some embodiments, method 700 may further include: the editing area of ​​the second interface includes a region for editing video frame by frame and a toolbar.

[0059] Figure 8 shows a schematic block diagram of an apparatus 800 for switching interfaces according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 8, the apparatus 800 includes: a first interface display unit 810 configured to display a first interface on a screen, the first interface including a first area for playing video and a toolbar for editing video. The apparatus 800 also includes an interface transition unit 820 configured to, in response to detecting a swipe operation on the screen, gradually transition the first interface to a second interface in synchronization with the swipe operation, the second interface including a second area for playing video and an editing area providing enhanced editing capabilities for the video.
