Further, at least based on the story setting information and the role setting information of the at least one role, respective group chat messages of the at least one role are provided in a corresponding interaction interface of the group. Thus, various embodiments of the present disclosure can create a chat group associated with a target story, increasing the interest of the chat group. Various embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example Environment

[0029] FIG. 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. In the example environment 100, an application 120 is installed in a terminal device 150. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 150 and / or an attached device of the terminal device 150.

[0030] In FIG. 1 environment 100, terminal device 150 can present a page 160 of application 120 if application 120 is active. Page 160 can include various types of pages that application 120 can provide, such as an information presentation page, a conversation window, a personal homepage, etc.

[0031] In some embodiments, terminal device 150 can communicate with server 130 to implement provisioning of services of application 120. Terminal device 150 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal including a mobile handset, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an electronic book device, a game device, or any combination thereof, including an accessory or peripheral device for the foregoing, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, terminal device 150 can also support any type of interface to a user (such as "wearable" circuitry, etc.). 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 a cloud environment, etc.

[0032] In some embodiments, terminal device 150 can cooperate with server 130 to provide specific services for user 140. In some example embodiments of the present disclosure, example procedures are described with terminal device 150 as the performing subject. It should be understood that the described example procedures can be implemented with cooperation of terminal device 150 and server 130. For brevity only, the same or similar content will not be repeated.

[0033] It should be understood that the structure and function of various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure. Various example implementations of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0034] Example User Interface

[0035] For better understanding of various embodiments of the present disclosure, reference is made to the following example embodiments with reference to the example user interfaces 200-300C shown. It should be understood that the following example embodiments are provided for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure. FIGS. 2-3C FIGS. 2-3C ​The illustrated user interfaces are merely examples, and various designs can actually exist. For example, various graphical elements and / or controls in the user interfaces can have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more of which can be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements and / or controls can also exist. Furthermore, any suitable content can be included in the user interfaces. The scope of the disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0036] In example embodiments of the disclosure, the example user interfaces 200-300C can be implemented at the terminal device 150, which can be any page of the application 120.

[0037] In embodiments of the disclosure, the application 120 can be a conversational application. Specifically, for a consuming user, the consuming user can interact with a virtual character in a conversational manner. In this context, the virtual character can also be referred to as a character for short.

[0038] In some embodiments, each character has a certain character setting, including but not limited to, gender, age, personality, and the like. The terminal device 150 can implement conversational interaction between the character and the user based on the character setting. Further, in some embodiments, each character can be associated with multiple stories. In this case, the user and the character can advance the progress of a predetermined plot through conversation according to a predetermined story setting. In short, in various embodiments of the disclosure, the user can have a plot-based conversation with a specific character, or have a plot-irrelevant conversation with the character. FIG. 2 The example user interface 200 is illustrated. In the example user interface 200, the user can have a conversation with the character 210. Further, in some embodiments, the user 140 can have a conversation with the character through text and / or voice. As can be seen, in the disclosure, the character and the story can be associated with each other and can also be separated from each other.

[0039] According to various embodiments of the disclosure, the user 140 can create a group chat associated with a target story. This is now described in detail.

[0040] In operation, in response to a request for creation of a chat group from the user, the terminal device 150 provides a group configuration page. The terminal device 150 receives configuration information for the group via the group configuration page.

[0041] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information can include any information related to the group and the target story. In an example embodiment, the configuration information includes at least one invited role in the group and story setting information of the target story associated with the group, wherein each role is associated to corresponding role setting information. In response to detecting the confirmation request, the terminal device 150 creates the group, wherein the at least one role and the user 140 are included in the created group. Next, based on at least the story setting information and the role setting information of the at least one role, the terminal device 150 provides respective group chat messages of the at least one role in the interaction interface corresponding to the group. Unlike the conventional group chat, the group chat created according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can be associated with the target story, thereby increasing the interest of the created group chat. Referring to FIG. 3A FIG. 3A shows an example user interface 300A. The user 140 can trigger a creation request of the chat group by activating the group chat creation control 310.

[0042] In some embodiments, the plot of the target story develops based on the group chat messages in the group, and in response to detecting a termination request for the group, the development of the plot of the target story is terminated. In other words, unlike the conventional plot-based conversation, the target story associated with the group chat of the present disclosure does not have an ending, let alone a successful or failed story ending setting. In this way, the group can be maintained for a long time.

[0043] In some embodiments, the configuration information further includes at least one of: a group name of the group, a group description of the group, opening line information corresponding to the group chat, a background image corresponding to the group chat, background music corresponding to the group chat, a story image corresponding to the target story.

[0044] As an example embodiment, in response to the creation request of the chat group, the terminal device 150 can present FIG. 3B the configuration information input interface 300B, wherein example (A) can be an initial editing interface, and example (B) can be an editing completion interface. As shown in example (A) and example (B) of FIG. 3B , the user 140 can complete the configuration of the group and the target story through the configuration information input interface 300B. In FIG. 3B , the user 140 can set the group name to identify the group. The user 140 can also set the group chat description to introduce the theme of the group chat. The user 140 can also set the group setting to limit the plot of the target story. In addition, the user 140 can also set the opening line, the background music, the story image corresponding to the target story, and the like.

[0045] It should be appreciated that the above configuration information is merely exemplary. In other embodiments, the configuration information input interface can include other configuration information related to the group or the target story. The various embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this regard.

[0046] In some embodiments, each character associated with the target story can have a set plot. For example, character A can be a cartoonist, and the set plot for character A can be to meet character B. Additionally, the set plot associated with each character can be pre-configured by way of the configuration information.

[0047] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the trigger for the group member addition portal, the terminal device 150 can present a list of created characters and / or a character creation portal. Next, in some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of at least one character from the list of created characters, the terminal device 150 can determine that the configuration information indicates at least the selected at least one character.

[0048] Alternatively, in some embodiments, in response to detecting the trigger for the character creation portal, the terminal device 150 can receive character configuration information for another character, where the character configuration information includes at least character set information for the other character. In response to detecting a creation confirmation for the other character, the terminal device 150 can determine that the configuration information indicates at least the created other character.

[0049] As an example implementation, when the user 140 activates the group member addition portal 320 in the target story creation interface 300, the terminal device 150 can present a list of created characters and / or a character creation portal, so that the user 140 can add characters to the target story. FIG. 3B

[0050] In this way, the user 140 can both select a virtual character that has already been created in the system, and create a new virtual character for the group associated with the target story, thereby enriching the way of adding group members. More importantly, the characters added in this way can be more in line with the plot setting of the target story.

[0051] In some embodiments, the characters in the character list are determined based at least on the story setting information received in the group configuration page. Specifically, which created virtual characters to present in the target character list can be determined based on the matching degree of the characters to the target story. In this way, the characters presented in the character list are more in line with the story setting of the target story. Thus, when the group is in session, the plot of the target story can be more smoothly advanced.

[0052] ​In some embodiments, the configuration information further includes at least one second user invited into the group, wherein the at least one second user has a social relationship with the user 140. In other words, the second user can be a real user rather than a virtual character created in the system. In this case, in response to detecting the trigger for the group member adding portal, the terminal device 150 can present a list of users having a social relationship with the user, and in response to detecting a selection of at least one second user in the list of users, the terminal device 150 can determine that the configuration information indicates at least the selected at least one second user. In this way, real social relationships can be introduced into the group session, i.e., enriching the way of adding characters, and providing a more interesting social way.

[0053] In some embodiments, the target story can be a story that has already been created. In this case, the user 140 can select one already created story through the story import control. Further, in some embodiments, the user 140 can perform secondary editing on the imported story, such as modifying the plot, deleting the story setting ending, etc., to make it more suitable for the form of the group chat. In this way, the creation process of the chat group associated with the story is simplified.

[0054] In some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can present an interaction interface corresponding to the group based on the configuration information. As an example embodiment, the terminal device 150 can present a group chat interface after the configuration is completed. In the group chat interface, at least part of the configuration information can be presented. Further, in some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can present a background image of the chat interface based on the story setting information, etc.

[0055] In some embodiments, in response to providing a group chat message of a first character in the at least one character in the interaction interface, the terminal device 150 can present a first image associated with the first character in the interaction interface. Accordingly, in response to providing a group chat message of a second character in the at least one character in the interaction interface, the terminal device 150 can present a second image associated with the second character in the interaction interface. In some embodiments, the first image and the second image can be presented as a background image of the group chat.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 3C the example user interface 300C is shown. In FIG. 3C example (A), the terminal device 150 presents a first group chat message 350 of a first character in the group. In this case, the terminal device 150 presents a first image 355 associated with the first character. In FIG. 3C example (B), the terminal device 150 presents a first group chat message 360 of a second character in the group. In this case, the terminal device 150 presents a second image 365 associated with the second character.

[0057] In this way, as the speech of different roles changes over time, the user interface can change synchronously, so that the user 140 can be better immersed in the plot of the story.

[0058] In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the user sends a first group chat message in the group, the terminal device 150 provides, in the interactive interface corresponding to the group, reply messages of one or more of the at least one role to the first group chat message. For example, after receiving the message input by the user 140, the terminal device 150 can present the reply / message of multiple (virtual) roles. In this way, the target story can be better pushed forward according to the predetermined plot.

[0059] In some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can also provide, in the interactive interface corresponding to the group, the respective group chat messages of the at least one role based on the historical group chat messages sent in the group chat message. In this way, the plausibility of the plot of the target story can be ensured.

[0060] In some embodiments, based on the number of group chat messages that have been sent by the respective roles in the plurality of roles in the first time period, the terminal device 150 can determine to provide the respective group chat messages of one or more of the plurality of roles in the second time period. As an example embodiment, if a first role has sent too many group chat messages in the last statistical period, the terminal device 150 can control the number of messages of the first role in the subsequent time. In this way, each role can have the opportunity to speak.

[0061] Through the above embodiments, the group chat can be associated with the target story, thereby enhancing the interest of the group chat.

[0062] In some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can generate a new story based on the historical chat records in the group. Specifically, in response to detecting that the group chat interaction in the group satisfies a predetermined interaction condition, the terminal device 150 can generate, based on the historical group chat messages in the group, story content associated with the target story. In response to detecting a confirmation of publication of the story content, the terminal device 150 can publish the story content in a designated platform to realize the creation and publication of a new story.

[0063] In some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can utilize a machine learning model to generate, based on the historical group chat messages in the group and the story setting information of the target story, the story content associated with the target story.

[0064] In some embodiments, the story content includes, but is not limited to, a list of characters, an opening, a story setting, etc. It should be appreciated that the generated story content can include any content related to story creation, and the present disclosure is not limited in terms of predetermined content included in the story content. Further, in some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can continue the story according to the historical chat records, e.g., add an ending to the story, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments, the predetermined interaction condition is based on a number of group chat messages in the group reaching a predetermined number threshold. In this case, the terminal device 150 can collect enough material for generating story content, so that the created story content is more rich.

[0066] Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, the predetermined interaction condition is based on group chat messages in the group matching a predetermined plot. As an example way, when the target story is a reasoning type story, the predetermined plot can be the appearance of a key clue or a target character, etc.

[0067] Through the above process, the terminal device 150 can automatically create a story according to the chat records of the chat group, enriching the way of story creation.
