[0020] As an optional but non-restrictive implementation, in response to a user's active request, a prompt message can be sent to the user, such as 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.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. In this example environment 100, an application 120 is installed on a terminal device 110. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 110 and / or an attached device to the terminal device 110. In some examples, the application 120 may be a social application, such as a content-sharing application. The application 120 is able to provide the user 140 with one or more services related to media content items, including the creation, publishing, browsing, commenting, forwarding, etc., of media content items. In this document, "media content item" includes one or more types of content, such as images, image sets, videos, GIFs, audio, text, etc.

[0023] exist Figure 1 In environment 100, if application 120 is active, terminal device 110 can display page 150 of application 120. Page 150 may include various types of pages provided by application 120, such as personal homepage, media content details page, content creation page, content publishing page, message page, etc. Application 120 can provide content creation functions, including shooting, uploading, editing, and / or publishing media content items, including live content.

[0024] In some embodiments, terminal device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, terminal device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry). Server 130 can be various types of computing systems / servers capable of providing computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, etc.

[0025] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0026] Some applications allow users to publish live content. The publisher (also known as the streamer or user) can announce the start time of the live stream within the application before it begins. On specific content display pages within the application, such as the publisher's profile page or media content display page, interface elements such as stickers associated with the live stream announcement will appear. Users browsing the corresponding page can reserve a spot in the live stream by clicking on these interface elements.

[0027] In current applications, the interface elements providing live stream reservation information typically have a uniform format and cannot be customized. This results in a lack of brand exposure or emotional expression for some live stream content (such as live streams of large-scale events / sports), which is detrimental to the differentiated operation and experience upgrade of live stream content. Furthermore, when users reserve live stream content by clicking on the interface elements providing reservation information, a successful reservation only results in a pop-up notification; other actions related to the reservation information, such as sharing, are not available, which is not conducive to the promotion of live stream content and the application itself.

[0028] According to embodiments of this disclosure, a method for live stream reservation is proposed. The method, according to embodiments of this disclosure, can use interface elements (also referred to as first interface elements) with different visual styles customized by the live stream initiator to present reservation information, thereby facilitating differentiated operation and experience upgrades for the live stream. Furthermore, after a user performs a reservation operation such as clicking on the first interface element, a second interface element, including second reservation information, can be triggered simultaneously with the live stream reservation. This second interface element can be shared via the application. Simultaneously, the user can also share the second interface element. Thus, one-click triggering of live stream reservations and presentation of additional shareable information can be achieved, shortening the user interaction path and enabling users to complete reservations while quickly and conveniently sharing the live stream, improving sharing efficiency. This not only enhances the various sharing and promotion capabilities of live stream content but also provides users with more convenient and diversified ways to share live stream information.

[0029] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0030] Figure 2 A flowchart of a content presentation process 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Process 200 may be implemented at terminal device 110. For ease of discussion, reference will be made to... Figure 1 The environment 100 is used to describe the process 200.

[0031] In box 210, terminal device 110 presents a first interface element associated with the live stream reservation in the application, the first interface element including at least first information about the live stream.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first information included in the first interface element may include basic information about the live stream, such as the date and time of the live stream. In some embodiments, personalization of the first interface element is supported to present a personalized visual style. Personalized visual styles may include, for example, a title or brief description of the live stream content, including stickers or buttons of a predetermined size or shape, which will be further elaborated later. The first interface element can be presented on any page of the application, as long as such a page can be configured to present live stream booking information. Examples of such pages may include the application's content display pages, such as content recommendation pages, live stream information aggregation display pages, and so on.

[0033] Next, terminal device 110 detects whether the user has performed a reservation operation on the first interface element, and determines in box 220 whether a reservation operation for the first interface element has been received. In response to receiving a reservation operation for the first interface element, in box 230, terminal device 110 triggers a reservation for the live stream, and in box 240 triggers the presentation of the second interface element. Note that although in Figure 2 Boxes 230 and 240 are shown in sequence, but it should be understood that these two operations can be performed in any order. Triggering a live stream reservation indicates that the current user has reserved this live stream. Thus, in some applications, a live stream reminder will be sent to the user via a user-specified method at the start of the live stream or within a predetermined time before it begins. The presented second interface elements include at least secondary information about the live stream and support sharing via the current application, for example, sharing within or outside the application. This facilitates the promotion of live stream content and the application, as well as the user experience.

[0034] The following sections will use examples to describe the live stream reservation method in more detail. As an example, Figure 3A Page 300 shows sample content of the application. Figure 3A The example shown presents a live streamer's media content sharing page. This streamer will be live streaming on Friday, May 27th at 8:00 PM. The app has previewed the live stream and selected the default sticker-style interface element 310 (i.e., the first interface element mentioned earlier). Figure 3A In the example content display page 300 shown, a first interface element 310 is presented on the media content sharing page. Users browsing this media content sharing page can reserve the live stream content of the streamer by clicking on this first interface element 310.

[0035] The first interface element 310 may include initial information about the live stream. This initial information can be configured as needed. In some embodiments, the initial information may include summary information about the live stream. In some embodiments, the visual style of the first interface element 310 may be customized by the initiator or streamer of the live stream based on the live stream content. For example, if the live stream content is a major football match, the visual style of the first interface element 310 may be customized to include elements related to the major football match, such as, but not limited to: football patterns, team flags, logos, representative colors, or graphics of the teams involved in the live stream. Figure 3B The image shows that when the announced live broadcast is a football match, the visual style of the first interface element 310 can be a sticker with a certain size (hereinafter referred to as the first size), including a football image, and displaying a brief description such as "XX match live broadcast announcement".

[0036] In some embodiments, the background color or pattern of the first interface element 310 can be customized to display the team flags, logos, or signature colors of the two participating teams in the announced live broadcast of the ball game. If the announced live broadcast content is a concert by a celebrity, the first interface element 310 can use a photo or cartoon avatar of the celebrity as the background to present the live broadcast announcement.

[0037] In some embodiments, the shape of the first interface element 310 can also be customized. For example, assuming the announced live stream content is a brand electronic device launch event, the first interface element 310 can be customized to have the outline of the electronic device to be launched. In this way, it is possible to facilitate differentiated operation of the live stream and improve the user experience.

[0038] Of course, it should be understood that the various examples of the first interface element 310 described above are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. As long as differentiation can be achieved to facilitate differentiated operation of the live stream, the visual style of the first interface element 310 can be arbitrarily and appropriately customized. The customizable visual style of the first interface element 310 may include, but is not limited to: the presentation position, size, shape, background color, background graphics, and included text of the first interface element 310.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first interface element 310 may be included in the media content. For example, the creator of the media content may choose to embed the first interface element 310 when editing the media content. In this way, when the media content is presented in the application, the first interface element can be presented simultaneously, facilitating live stream booking. For example, the media content may be presented on the application's feed recommendation page, and the first interface element 310 may be displayed accordingly.

[0040] As mentioned earlier, users browsing a page displaying the first interface element 310 can schedule a live stream by performing a reservation operation on the first interface element 310. The reservation operation that triggers the live stream reservation can include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: clicking the first interface element 310, swiping on the first interface element 310, or double-clicking, or any other appropriate triggering operation. In some embodiments, the reservation operation that triggers the live stream reservation can also be related to the live stream content. For example, in some embodiments, assuming the live stream content is about a car brand launch event, in addition to the first interface element 310 being customized to include elements such as cars, the reservation operation that triggers the live stream reservation can also be customized. For example, the reservation operation can be set to be performed by swiping on the vehicle displayed in the first interface element 310, which further facilitates differentiated operation of the live stream and improves the user experience.

[0041] As mentioned above, according to embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a pre-defined operation performed on the first interface element 310, a live stream reservation can be triggered, and simultaneously, the second interface element 320 is also triggered. The second interface element 320 can be shared via the current application. Thus, live stream reservations and sharing of live stream reservations can be achieved with a single click. Figure 3C An example of the second interface element 320 is shown. Figure 3C In the example shown, the second interface element 320 can be in the form of a ticket with a predetermined size (second size), which includes second information about the live broadcast. The second information can be configured as needed. The second information can be the same as or different from the first information. The second information can include at least part or all of the first information. In some embodiments, the second information can include detailed information about the live broadcast. For example, the second information includes information such as the teams involved in the match, the start date and time of the broadcast. In addition, in some embodiments, the second information may also include, but is not limited to, information such as the team flags or logos of the teams involved in the broadcast.

[0042] In some embodiments, similar to the first interface element 310, the visual style of the second interface element 320 can also be customized by the initiator or host of the live stream. The customizable visual style of the second interface element 320 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the position, size, shape, presentation method, background color, background graphics, and included text of the second interface element 320. In some embodiments, similar to the first interface element 310, the visual style of the second interface element 320 can be customized to be related to the content of the live stream. For example, if the announced live stream is of a major sporting event, the logo of that major sporting event can be displayed in the second interface element 320, and the background of the second interface element 320 can be the team logo or logo color of the team involved in the live stream content.

[0043] The presentation methods mentioned above regarding the visual style of the second interface element 320 refer to how the second interface element 320 is presented on the page. For example, depending on the live streaming content, the presentation methods of the second interface element 320 may include, but are not limited to: sliding in from a specific edge of the display area, gradually appearing, or combining blocks. The customizability of the visual style of the second interface element 320 can further facilitate differentiated operation of live streaming and improve the user experience.

[0044] Of course, in some embodiments, at least one visual style of the first interface element 310 and / or the second interface element 320 may be unrelated to the live broadcast content. For example, in some embodiments, the application provider may pre-set a variety of different visual styles for the first interface element 310 and / or the second interface element 320. When the initiator or host of the live broadcast announces the broadcast, they can select one or more of these pre-set different visual styles for the first interface element 310 and / or the second interface element 320 to present.

[0045] Figure 3D This shows an example of the second interface element 320 being presented on the application's page. Figure 3B and Figure 3DIn the example shown, the second size of the second interface element 320 can be larger than the first size of the first interface element 310. The first interface element 310 has a smaller size to reduce obstruction of the media content viewed by the user, while the second interface element 320 has a larger size to facilitate the display of more second information and user sharing. It should be understood that since both the first interface element 310 and / or the second interface element 320 are customizable, they can have any suitable size or form. For example, in some alternative embodiments, the first interface element 310 may also have a size greater than or equal to that of the second interface element 320.

[0046] In some embodiments, the initiator or host of a live stream can set multiple first interface elements 310 or second interface elements 320 with different visual styles for a live stream preview. When presenting to the user, the terminal device 110 can randomly select one of the styles of the first interface element 310 or the second interface element 320, thereby further facilitating the differentiated operation and experience upgrade of the live stream.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second interface element 320 may further include visual encoding associated with the live stream and capable of guiding the display of the live stream page. Visual encoding may include, but is not limited to, barcodes, QR codes, etc. A barcode is a graphic identifier that uses multiple black bars and spaces of varying widths arranged according to certain encoding rules to express a set of information. A QR code, also known as a two-dimensional barcode, commonly refers to a QR (Quick Response) code. QR codes can store more information and represent more data types than traditional barcodes. A QR code is a graphic representation of data symbols, using specific geometric shapes distributed in a two-dimensional plane according to certain rules. In its coding, it cleverly utilizes the concept of "0" and "1" bit streams that form the basis of computer logic, using several geometric shapes corresponding to binary to represent textual and numerical information. This information is automatically processed by image input devices or photoelectric scanning devices.

[0048] In some embodiments, in addition to including second information about the live stream and visual encoding associated with the live stream, the second interface element 320 may also include information about the application's current user. The current user is the user logged into the application to browse its media content. Figure 3D The second interface element 320 is displayed in the upper left corner and can include information such as the current user's avatar and username.

[0049] Of course, it should be understood that the information of the current user presented in the second interface element 320 may not be limited to the user's username and avatar. In some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, the user information presented in the second interface element 320 may also include some information related to the live broadcast content. For example, if the live broadcast content is a major football event, the current user's information may also include information about the teams they support during that major football event.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second interface element 320 may also include a unique identifier associated with the live stream reservation. The unique identifier may depend on the order in which users reserve the live stream. For example, the unique identifier may be a serial number or sequence number used by the user to reserve the live stream. For instance, the first user to successfully reserve a live stream may have a serial number "0001", the second user to reserve a live stream may have a serial number "0002", and so on. In some alternative embodiments, the unique identifier associated with the live stream reservation may also be a unique random number generated by the system when the user makes a reservation. The unique identifier may be presented in the second interface element 320, for example, in the upper left corner or other suitable location. Because the identifier is unique, especially when it matches a numerical sequence of an anniversary or other commemorative significance, it can encourage users to share the second interface element 320 with other users, thereby facilitating the promotion of the application.

[0051] In some embodiments, sharing the second interface element 320 may include at least one of the following: local saving, forwarding within the application, sharing with other users within the application, or sharing with other applications different from the application. In some embodiments, the second interface element 320 may be shared in any suitable multimedia format such as image format, GIF format, or video format.

[0052] In some embodiments, to facilitate sharing of the second interface element 320, possible sharing entry points can also be presented to the user while displaying the second interface element. For example... Figure 3D As shown, while presenting the second interface elements, multiple sharing interface elements can be presented in a predetermined area of ​​the page (hereinafter referred to as the sharing area 330). For example... Figure 3E As shown, the sharing area 330 can include multiple sharing interface elements such as a share icon. Users can display more sharing interface elements on the page by swiping left and right on the sharing area 330, such as... Figure 3E As shown. In response to detecting a trigger for sharing, terminal device 110 performs the sharing of the second interface element. For example, a user can share the second interface element 320 by clicking on the share interface element.

[0053] For example, in some embodiments, users can save the presented second interface element 320 as an image or video to their local album by clicking the "Save to Album" sharing interface element, thereby facilitating further sharing of the live content. In some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, the "Save to Album" sharing interface element can also be presented on the second interface element 320. In this way, users can save the second interface element 320 to their album by clicking the "Save to Album" sharing interface element on the second interface element 320.

[0054] In some embodiments, after a user saves the second interface element 320 to their local photo album, the user can send the image of the second interface element 320 to other users via other applications, or they can display the page containing the second interface element 320 to other users to share the live stream content. Other users can then access the page associated with the live stream by using an image input device such as a camera or a photoelectric scanning device to read the visual encoding in the second interface element 320.

[0055] As mentioned earlier, sharing the second interface element 320 can include saving it to the local photo album, as well as sharing it with friends via private messages within the application. For example, users can click... Figure 3E The user can use the "Message to Friends" icon to share the second interface element 320 with friends within the application. Specifically, after the user clicks the "Message to Friends" icon, the terminal device 110 can display a "Message to Friends" interface 340 on the page, allowing the user to send the second interface element 320 to a friend via private message. Figure 3F As shown in the image. In this private messaging friend interface 340, the user's list of friends within the application can be displayed. This list can be sorted in a specific order. In some embodiments, the specific order can be determined by the time of the last contact, the number of messages exchanged, or alphabetical order. For example, based on the number of messages exchanged, the friend who sent the most messages can be displayed at the top, and then arranged sequentially according to the number of messages sent, making it convenient for the user to share with their most frequently contacted friends.

[0056] A "share" icon can be displayed at a predetermined location on the private message friend interface 340, such as near the username of each friend in the friend list. By clicking the "share" icon, the user can share the second interface element 320 with the corresponding friend. Of course, in some embodiments, the user can also share the second interface element 320 with a friend by directly sending a private message to that friend's username or avatar on the private message friend interface 340. In addition, in some embodiments, a "create group share" icon can also be displayed on the private message friend interface 340. The user can create a group of two or more people by clicking the "create group share" icon, thereby enabling sharing with more users at once. The following description will mainly use sharing with a single friend as an example to illustrate the concept of this disclosure. It should be understood that the embodiments for creating a group share are similar and will not be described in detail below.

[0057] When a user clicks on a friend's avatar or the share button near a friend, terminal device 110 will display the following: Figure 3G The interface shown allows chatting with a corresponding friend, and the second interface element 320 is sent to that friend as an image or other suitable multimedia format. After receiving the shared second interface element 320, the friend can enter the personal homepage or live stream room of the initiator or streamer by scanning the visual tag on it. In some embodiments, the friend can also enter the personal homepage or live stream room of the initiator or streamer by clicking the second interface element 320 or operating a specific button therein.

[0058] In some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, sharing of the second interface element 320 may also include sharing via in-app forwarding. Specifically, when the user clicks... Figure 3E After clicking the "Forward" icon, an interface will appear that forwards element 320 from the second interface, such as... Figure 3H As shown. In this interface, users can edit the media content to be shared, including the second interface element 320, such as adding personalized text, icons, or patterns. After editing, users can publish it as media content for other users to view by clicking the corresponding button, such as... Figure 3I As shown. Other users watching the media content can access pages related to the live stream by scanning the visual tags on it or by any other appropriate means, such as the personal homepage or live stream room of the person who posted the live stream content.

[0059] Besides in-app sharing, sharing of the second interface element 320 can also include sharing with other applications outside the application. For example, users can directly share the second interface element 320 to chat windows or shared content in other applications. As can be seen from the above description, users can share the second interface element 320 and its corresponding live content in various ways, thereby facilitating the dissemination and promotion of the application.
