[0031] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for generating media content according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The method can be executed by a media content generation device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware and can be configured in an electronic device, typically a mobile phone or tablet. The media content generation method provided in this disclosure is applicable to scenarios where media content is created using the virtual avatar of the current user and the virtual avatars of associated users. Figure 1As shown, the media content generation method provided in this embodiment may include:

[0032] S101, Receive the media content generation operation of the current user.

[0033] The media content generation operation can be understood as a triggering operation used to instruct the generation of the first media content. This media content generation operation can be applied to the co-production page, the editing page of the first media content, or the publishing page of the first media content. For example, this media content generation operation can be an operation that triggers a corresponding control displayed on the co-production page, the editing page of the first media content, or the publishing page of the first media content to trigger the generation of the first media content. This corresponding control for triggering the generation of the first media content can be, for example, a generation control used only to trigger the generation of the first media content and not to trigger the publication of the first media content; or it can be a publishing control used to trigger both the generation and publication of the first media content.

[0034] For example, when a user wants to generate the first media content, they can perform a media content generation operation. Correspondingly, the electronic device can receive the media content generation operation performed by the current user.

[0035] S102. In response to the media content generation operation, generate first media content, wherein the first media content displays a foreground image of at least two virtual characters performing a target synchronized action corresponding to a target action identifier, the at least two virtual characters including the first virtual character of the current user and at least one second virtual character of the first target user.

[0036] The first media content can be media content generated using the virtual avatars of the current user and the first target user. This media content displays a foreground image showing the first virtual avatar of the current user and the second virtual avatar of the first target user performing a target synchronized action. The first virtual avatar can be understood as the virtual avatar of the current user, and the second virtual avatar can be understood as the virtual avatar of the first target user. The first target user can be any user other than the current user. For example, the first target user can be a user associated with the current user, such as a friend or someone the current user follows; it can also be the publisher of a media content that the current user is viewing. The target action identifier can be understood as the action identifier of the target synchronized action, such as an action identifier indicating that the action is selected. Different action identifiers can be used to identify different synchronized actions.

[0037] The target synchronized action can be understood as the synchronized action presented by the current user's virtual avatar and the first target user avatar in the target media content. The target synchronized action can be a preset action or a custom action set by the current user. For example, the target synchronized action can be a preset action set by the developer or a synchronized action selected by the current user from various synchronized actions set by the developer; it can also be a synchronized action created by the current user. For example, the current user can create and use the target synchronized action within this application software, or create the target synchronized action in other application software and publish it or import it into this application software for use.

[0038] In this embodiment, the target synchronized action may include one or more sub-synchronized actions. When the target synchronized action contains only one sub-synchronized action, both the first virtual avatar and the second virtual avatar can execute that sub-synchronized action, meaning the first virtual avatar and the second virtual avatar can perform the same action. When the target synchronized action contains multiple sub-synchronized actions, the first virtual avatar and the second virtual avatar can execute the same or different sub-synchronized actions, which can be specifically set by the developers and / or the current user as needed. Optionally, the number of sub-synchronized actions included in the target synchronized action is greater than or equal to the number of at least two virtual avatars, and different virtual avatars execute different sub-synchronized actions. That is, the first virtual avatar and the second virtual avatar can execute different sub-synchronized actions, and different second virtual avatars can also execute different sub-synchronized actions.

[0039] For example, when a media content generation operation is received from the current user, the first media content can be generated by performing the target synchronized action corresponding to the target action identifier of the first virtual avatar of the current user and the second virtual avatar of the first target user.

[0040] In this embodiment, the media content generation operation may be used only to instruct the generation of first media content and not to instruct the publication of the first media content. Therefore, after generating the first media content, it can be further published based on a media content publication operation for the first media content; that is, the first media content is published when a media content publication operation for the first media content is received. Optionally, after generating the first media content, the method further includes: publishing the first media content in response to a media content publication operation for the first media content. Here, the media content publication operation for the first media content can be understood as a triggering operation used to instruct the publication of the first media content.

[0041] Furthermore, the media content generation operation can also be used to instruct the generation and publication of first media content; that is, the media content generation operation may include a media content publication operation to instruct the publication of the first media content. Therefore, when a media content publication operation is received, the first media content can be generated and published in response to the media content publication operation. Optionally, in this case, generating the first media content in response to the media content generation operation includes: generating and publishing the first media content in response to the media content publication operation.

[0042] The media content generation method provided in this embodiment receives a media content generation operation from the current user; in response to the media content generation operation, it generates first media content, wherein the first media content displays a foreground image of at least two virtual avatars performing a target synchronized action corresponding to a target action identifier. The at least two virtual avatars include a first virtual avatar of the current user and a second virtual avatar of at least one first target user. This embodiment, by employing the above technical solution, generates media content using virtual avatars from different users, eliminating the need for user filming. This enriches the methods of media content creation, reduces the difficulty and time spent on media content creation, and improves the user experience.

[0043] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for generating media content provided in this embodiment. The solution in this embodiment can be combined with one or more optional solutions in the above embodiments. Optionally, the target action identifier is an action identifier in a selected state. Before receiving the media content generation operation from the current user, the method further includes: in response to a first trigger operation in which the current user and a first target user perform a duet, displaying a duet page and displaying at least one action identifier in a first area of ​​the duet page; in response to a second trigger operation targeting the target action identifier among the at least one action identifier, displaying the target action identifier as a selected state.

[0044] Optionally, the background image of the first media content is the background image of the duet page. After displaying the duet page, the method further includes: updating the background image of the duet page in response to a background update operation, wherein the background image of the duet page is at least one of the following: a first background image associated with the first virtual avatar and / or the second virtual avatar, a second background image captured in real time by the current user, a third background image selected by the current user in the media content of the current application, and a fourth background image imported by the current user. The current application is the application to which the duet page belongs.

[0045] Optionally, after displaying the matching page, the method further includes: in response to the operation of displaying the associated user list, displaying the current user's associated user list, wherein the associated user list is used for the current user to select a first target user for matching; in response to the operation of completing the selection, updating the first target user to the associated user selected by the current user in the associated user list.

[0046] Optionally, after displaying the duet page, the method further includes: in response to the editing page display operation, switching the current page from the duet page to the editing page of the first media content, and displaying the background music information of the first media content in the editing page, wherein the background music is music corresponding to the target duet action, and the editing page is used to edit the first media content; in response to the editing completion operation, switching the current page from the editing page to the publishing page of the first media content.

[0047] Correspondingly, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method for generating media content provided in this embodiment may include:

[0048] S201. In response to the first trigger operation of the current user and the first target user taking a photo together, display the photo-taking page and display at least one action icon in the first area of ​​the photo-taking page, and execute S202, S203, S204, S206 or S208.

[0049] The first triggering operation can be a triggering operation used to indicate the display of the duet page between the current user and the first target user. This could include triggering the operation of the first duet control displayed on a preset page, triggering the operation of the second duet control on the virtual avatar display page of the first target user, or triggering the operation of the third duet control on a media content display page displaying media content published by the first target user, and so on. The first area can be the area on the duet page used to display action icons for duet actions.

[0050] Specifically, when the current user wishes to use their own virtual avatar to take a duet with the virtual avatar of the first target user, they can execute a first trigger operation. Correspondingly, upon receiving this first trigger operation, the electronic device can display a duet page and show at least one action icon 30 in the first area of ​​the duet page, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0051] Optionally, the duet page may also include a second area for displaying a preview of the target duet action. This second area can be an area for displaying the preview of the target duet action, such as an area within the first area of ​​the duet page or an area located outside the first area. Preferably, the second area can be the main display area of ​​the duet page.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first triggering operation may be an operation that triggers the first matching control displayed on the preset page. The media content generation method provided in this embodiment may further include: displaying the preset page and displaying the first matching control and the user identifier of at least one associated user of the current user on the preset page, wherein the first matching control is used to trigger the execution of the first triggering operation.

[0053] The preset page can be a page displaying a "Double Tap" control and the user identifier of at least one associated user of the current user. This preset page can further display the current user's user identifier. For example, the preset page could be the current user's message list page, associated user list page (such as a friend list page or a following list page), etc. The first "Double Tap" control can be the "Double Tap" control displayed on the preset page. The user identifier can be used to identify the corresponding user, and may include the corresponding user's user ID, avatar, and / or nickname. The avatar can be a virtual image or a non-virtual image. The virtual image in a virtual image avatar can be set by the user corresponding to the avatar. Optionally, the first target user can be the associated user corresponding to the user identifier displayed at a set position on the preset page. That is, when the first trigger operation acts on the first "Double Tap" control, the first target user can be the second associated user corresponding to the second user identifier displayed at the set position on the preset page. The set position can be any position on the preset page where the user identifier is displayed, such as the center of the area on the preset page used to display the user identifier, etc., and can be flexibly set as needed. The second user identifier can be the user identifier of the associated user displayed at the set position. The current user can update the user identifier displayed at a set position on the preset page by performing an update operation (such as a swipe operation), thereby updating the first target user for the duet.

[0054] For example, the electronic device can display a preset page based on the current user's corresponding trigger operation, and display the user identifier of at least one associated user of the current user and the first matching control 40 on the preset page, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Thus, the current user can trigger the first duet control 40 to instruct the electronic device to display a duet page, so as to duet with the virtual image of the associated user corresponding to the user identifier displayed at a preset position on the page.

[0055] In one embodiment, the first triggering operation may be an operation that triggers the second matching control displayed on the virtual avatar display page of the first target user. The media content generation method provided in this embodiment may further include: in response to a third triggering operation on the first user identifier displayed on the preset page, switching the current page from the preset page to the virtual avatar display page of the first associated user, wherein the first associated user corresponds to the first user identifier, and the virtual avatar display page displays a second matching control, which is used to trigger the execution of the first triggering operation.

[0056] The third triggering operation can be an operation that triggers a user identifier of a certain associated user displayed on a preset page. The first user identifier can be understood as the user identifier triggered by the third triggering operation. The first associated user can be the associated user corresponding to the first user identifier. Optionally, when the first triggering operation is applied to the second matching control, the first target user is the first associated user. The second matching control can be a matching control displayed on the virtual image display page of the first associated user.

[0057] For example, when a current user wants to view the virtual avatar of a related user, they can trigger the user identifier of that related user displayed on a preset page. Correspondingly, when the electronic device detects that the current user has triggered the user identifier of a related user, it determines that a first trigger operation has been received, and in response to the first trigger operation, switches the current page from the preset page to the virtual avatar display page of the related user, and displays the virtual avatar of the related user and the second synchronization control 50 on the virtual avatar display page, such as... Figure 5 As shown. Thus, the current user can trigger the second duet control 50 to instruct the electronic device to display a duet page, so as to duet with the virtual avatar of the associated user.

[0058] In addition, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the preset page and the virtual avatar display page of the first target user can further display a conversation control 41 and an interaction control 42. Thus, the current user can trigger the conversation control 41 to instruct the electronic device to display the current conversation page for communicating with the first target user, or the conversation area between the current user and the first target user, to engage in conversation with the first target user. The current user can also trigger the interaction control 42 to send a preset object to the first target user, and / or, by triggering the interaction control 42, instruct the electronic device to display an object identifier list, to send the object corresponding to the object identifier in the object identifier list to the first target user. This object can be, for example, an emoticon, an image, or text.

[0059] In one embodiment, the first triggering operation may be an operation that triggers the third matching control displayed on the media content display page. The media content generation method provided in this embodiment further includes: displaying the media content display page and displaying the second media content and the third matching control published by the first target user on the media content display page, wherein the third matching control is used to trigger the execution of the first triggering operation.

[0060] The media content display page can be understood as a page used to display media content, such as a video playback page. The second media content can be the media content currently displayed on the media content display page, which can be media content published by a publisher with a virtual avatar, preferably media content generated using at least one virtual avatar including the publisher's virtual avatar. In this case, the first target user can be the publisher of the media content. The third "co-op" control can be a "co-op" control displayed on the media content display page, which can be displayed when the media content displayed on the media content display page is media content published by a publisher with a virtual avatar, preferably when the media content displayed on the media content display page is media content generated using at least one virtual avatar including the publisher's virtual avatar, so that users watching the media content can "co-op" with the publisher's virtual avatar.

[0061] For example, an electronic device can display a second media content and a third "co-op" control on a media content display page. Thus, the current user can trigger the third "co-op" control to instruct the electronic device to display a "co-op" page, allowing them to co-op with the virtual avatar of the publisher of the currently displayed media content.

[0062] S202, in response to a second triggering operation on a target action identifier among the at least one action identifiers, display the target action identifier as selected, and execute S206 or S208.

[0063] The second triggering operation can be an operation that triggers a specific action icon displayed on the duet page. The target action icon can be the action icon triggered by the second triggering operation.

[0064] Specifically, when a user triggers an action icon displayed on the duet page, that action icon can be displayed as selected (e.g., ...). Figure 3 The first action icon in the image will display all other action icons on the duet page as unselected, and can further display a preview of the duet action corresponding to the action icon triggered by the current user on the duet page.

[0065] S203. In response to the background update operation, update the background image of the duet page, and execute S206 or S208, wherein the background image of the duet page is at least one of the following: a first background image associated with the first virtual image and / or the second virtual image, a second background image captured in real time by the current user, a third background image selected by the current user in the media content of the current application, and a fourth background image imported by the current user.

[0066] The background update operation can be understood as updating the background image of the collaboration page, such as triggering the background update control displayed on the collaboration page. The first background image can be a background image associated with the current user's first virtual avatar and / or the first target user's second virtual avatar. For example, a background image whose content is associated with the first and / or second virtual avatars (such as images, articles, or videos containing the first and / or second virtual avatars), or a background image whose color is associated with the color of the first and / or second virtual avatars. The second background image can be a background image captured in real-time by the current user, such as a view captured in real-time by the current user through a camera. The third background image can be a background image selected by the current user from the media content of the current application. Optionally, the third background image includes third media content published by the second target user and / or the second target user's live stream. Here, the second target user can be, for example, the current user, the first target user, and / or other users besides the current user and the first target user. The third media content can be media content published by the second target user. Furthermore, the current application can also provide media content of virtual reality scenes for users to select as background images. The fourth background screen can be the background screen imported by the current user, such as the image or video imported by the current user.

[0067] Specifically, when a user wants to update the background of the duet page, they can perform a background update operation, such as triggering the background update control 31 displayed on the duet page. Figure 3 As shown. Accordingly, when the electronic device detects that the current user has triggered the background update control 31 displayed on the duet page, it can display a background update panel for the current user to select, capture, or import a background image. For example, the background image can be associated with the first virtual avatar and / or the second virtual avatar, the image captured in real time by the current user through the camera, the background image selected by the current user in the current application, and / or the background image imported by the current user. This generates first media content with the background image of the duet page as the background image and the image of the first and second virtual avatars performing the target duet action as the foreground image.

[0068] S204. In response to the operation of displaying the associated user list, display the associated user list of the current user, wherein the associated user list is used for the current user to select a first target user who is compatible.

[0069] The "Associated User List Display" operation can be a triggered action to indicate the display of the current user's associated user list, such as triggering the associated user control displayed on the "Matching" page. The associated user list can be understood as a list of the current user's associated users, displaying the user identifiers of each of these associated users.

[0070] Specifically, when the current user wants to change the first target user for the collaboration, the associated user control 32 displayed on the collaboration page can be triggered, such as... Figure 3 As shown. Accordingly, when the electronic device detects that the current user has triggered the associated user control 32 on the duet page, it can display the current user's associated user list and show the user identifiers of the associated users available for duet by the current user. Thus, the current user can select one or more associated users from the associated user list to duet, such as triggering an unselected user identifier in the associated user list to select the associated user corresponding to that user identifier and switch that user identifier to the selected state, or triggering a selected user identifier in the associated user list to deselect the associated user corresponding to that user identifier and switch that user identifier to the unselected state.

[0071] S205. In response to the selection completion operation, update the first target user to the associated user selected by the current user in the associated user list, and execute S206 or S208.

[0072] Among them, the "select completion" operation can be a trigger operation to confirm the completion of the first target user, such as triggering the operation of the "confirm" control displayed in the associated user list.

[0073] Specifically, after the current user selects a user from the list of associated users to collaborate with, they can complete the selection. Upon receiving this selection completion action, the electronic device can update the first target user to the associated user selected by the current user in the list, such as updating it to the associated user corresponding to the selected user identifier in the list. The updated virtual image of the first target user is then displayed on the collaboration page, and the device can further deselect the associated user list.

[0074] In this embodiment, since the number of the first target users may change after the update, after updating the first target users, the action icons displayed on the duet page can be further adjusted according to the updated number of the first target users, so that the action icons displayed on the duet page are action icons of duet actions whose number of included sub-duet actions is greater than or equal to the updated number of the first target users. Optionally, after updating the first target users to the associated users selected by the current user in the associated user list, the method further includes: adjusting the action icons displayed in the first area according to the updated number of the first target users.

[0075] In this embodiment, when the target synchronized action corresponding to the action identifier selected by the current user includes multiple sub-synchronized actions, the sub-synchronized actions performed by each virtual character (including the first virtual character of the current user and the second virtual character of the first target user) can be preset by the designer of the target synchronized action; or they can be preset by the current user as needed. For example, the current user can switch the sub-synchronized actions performed by each virtual character by performing an action switching operation. In this case, after displaying the synchronized action page, the method may further include: in response to the action switching operation, switching the sub-synchronized actions performed by the virtual character corresponding to the action switching operation.

[0076] When switching the sub-synchronized action performed by the virtual character corresponding to the action switching operation, the sub-synchronized action performed by the virtual character can be randomly switched or switched in a preset order among the sub-synchronized actions of the target synchronized action. If the sub-synchronized action has a corresponding original virtual character before the switching, the correspondence between the sub-synchronized action and the original virtual character can be canceled. The sub-synchronized action performed by the virtual character can be randomly switched or switched in a preset order among the sub-synchronized actions of the target synchronized action that do not yet have a corresponding virtual object. Alternatively, the current user can specify the sub-synchronized action performed by the virtual character through the action switching operation and switch the sub-synchronized action performed by the virtual character to the sub-synchronized action corresponding to the action switching operation, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0077] In one embodiment, after displaying the matching page, the method further includes: in response to a virtual avatar setting operation, displaying a settings interface for a first virtual avatar, wherein the settings interface is used to set the appearance information and / or clothing information of the first virtual avatar.

[0078] The virtual avatar setting operation can be understood as a triggering operation to set the appearance information and / or clothing information of the virtual avatar, such as triggering the avatar setting control displayed on the matching page.

[0079] Specifically, when the current user triggers the image setting control 33 displayed on the duet page (such as...) Figure 3 As shown, the settings interface of the first virtual avatar can be displayed, such as showing the settings interface of the first virtual avatar on top of the duet page, or the current page can be switched from the duet page to the settings interface of the first virtual avatar. Thus, the current user can set the appearance information and / or clothing information of the first virtual avatar in this settings interface, and after setting, can return to the duet page to use the set first virtual avatar to take a duet with the second virtual avatar of the first target user.

[0080] S206. In response to the editing page display operation, the current page is switched from the matching page to the editing page of the first media content, and the background music information of the first media content is displayed on the editing page, wherein the background music is music corresponding to the target matching action, and the editing page is used to edit the first media content.

[0081] In this embodiment, the current user can directly perform media content generation operations on the co-production page to generate the first media content; or they can switch to the editing page of the first media content to edit the first media content.

[0082] Among them, the editing page display operation can be an operation used to indicate the display of the editing page of the first media content, such as triggering the operation of the completion control displayed in the collaboration page.

[0083] For example, when a user wants to edit the first media content, they can perform media content editing operations on the combined page, such as triggering the completion control 34 on the preview page (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown). Accordingly, when the electronic device detects that the current user has triggered the completion control 34 in the preview page, it can determine that it has received an editing page display operation. In response to the editing page display operation, it switches the current page from the matching page to the editing page of the first media content, and displays the background music information of the first media content in the editing page. Thus, the user can edit the first media content in the editing page.

[0084] Taking the editing of background music for the first media content as an example, when the first media content is initially generated, if the current user is not yet editing the first media content, the background music associated with the target synchronized action can be used as the background music for the first media content. That is, optionally, the background music for the first media content is the background music associated with the target synchronized action. Therefore, when the current user wants to edit the background music of the first media content, they can perform an edit page display operation to switch to the edit page of the first media content and edit the first media content on that page. The background music associated with each synchronized action can be preset.

[0085] S207. In response to the editing completion operation, the current page is switched from the editing page to the publishing page of the first media content.

[0086] Specifically, upon receiving a completion message for editing, the current page can be switched from the editing page for the first media content to the publishing page for the first media content. Thus, the current user can set the publishing information for the first media content on the publishing page, and after setting the information, can generate and / or publish the first media content by performing corresponding operations (such as media content generation or media content publishing).

[0087] In addition, after users finish editing the primary media content on the editing page, they can also directly perform media content generation operations on the editing page to generate the primary media content.

[0088] S208: Receive the media content generation operation from the current user.

[0089] S209. In response to the media content generation operation, generate first media content, wherein the first media content displays a foreground image of at least two virtual characters performing a target action corresponding to a target action identifier, the at least two virtual characters including a first virtual character of the current user and a second virtual character of at least one first target user, the target action identifier being an action identifier in a selected state, and the background image of the first media content being the background image of the duet page.

[0090] This embodiment provides a method for generating media content, which can update the virtual image that is in sync with the current user's virtual image, the target sync action performed by each virtual image, and / or the background image of the first media content in response to the corresponding trigger operation of the current user, or switch to editing mode to edit the first media content. It can provide a variety of media content generation methods to meet the different sync needs of users.
