Description

Special effects display methods, devices, electronic equipment and storage media Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of Internet technology, and in particular to a special effects display method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, adding virtual objects, pre-shot photos, and other virtual elements to videos is a common video effects feature in video applications and platforms. Building upon this, by invoking relational information during the video effects implementation process to generate video effects based on those relationships, the social attributes of video effects can be further enhanced.

[0003] In existing technologies, video effects based on relational information require obtaining the corresponding relational information from the server to be implemented. Therefore, video effects based on relational information need to bind the relational information acquisition interface on the server side at the code level. This means that such video effects based on relational information can only be designed by video application and platform developers, and cannot be customized by general users. Consequently, such video effects suffer from high development costs and poor flexibility of use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure provides a special effects display method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium to overcome the problems of high development costs and poor usage flexibility in video special effects based on correlation information.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for displaying special effects, including:

[0006] In response to the triggering of a target effect, a corresponding custom asset file is retrieved. The target effect is used to display at least one frame of an effect image, which is generated based on the current user's association information. This association information represents the user identifiers of associated users who are related to the current user. The custom asset file is loaded through the resource reference interface of the target effect to obtain a list of associations corresponding to the target effect. Based on this list, corresponding association information is retrieved from the server, and a corresponding effect image is generated based on this association information.

[0007] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a special effects display device, including:

[0008] The acquisition module is used to acquire the corresponding custom asset file in response to the triggering of the target effect. The target effect is used to display at least one frame of effect image. The effect image is an image generated based on the association information of the current user. The association information represents the user identifier of the associated user who has an association relationship with the current user.

[0009] The loading module is used to load the custom asset file through the resource reference interface of the target effect and obtain the list of associations corresponding to the target effect;

[0010] The generation module is used to obtain the corresponding association information from the server according to the association list, and generate the corresponding special effects image based on the association information.

[0011] Thirdly, embodiments of this disclosure provide an electronic device, including: a processor and a memory;

[0012] The memory stores computer-executed instructions;

[0013] The processor executes computer execution instructions stored in the memory, causing the at least one processor to perform the special effects display method as described in the first aspect and various possible designs of the first aspect.

[0014] Fourthly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the special effects display method described in the first aspect and various possible designs of the first aspect.

[0015] Fifthly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the special effects display method described in the first aspect and various possible designs of the first aspect.

[0016] The special effects display method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium provided in this embodiment obtain a corresponding custom asset file in response to the triggering of a target special effect. The target special effect displays at least one frame of special effect image, which is generated based on the current user's association relationship information. The association relationship information represents the user identifiers of associated users related to the current user. The custom asset file is loaded through the resource reference interface of the target special effect to obtain a list of association relationships corresponding to the target special effect. Based on the list of association relationships, corresponding association relationship information is obtained from the server, and a corresponding special effect image is generated based on the association relationship information. After triggering the target special effect based on the association relationship information, the custom asset file is loaded, and its capabilities are used to obtain the list of association relationships corresponding to the target special effect. User information is then obtained from the server based on the association relationship list, thereby generating the special effect image corresponding to the target special effect based on the user information. Because the use of a custom asset file decouples the step of obtaining user information, the target special effect does not need to consider the specific implementation method of obtaining association relationship information during the design phase. This reduces the design difficulty and development cost of target special effects based on association relationship information, and improves the diversity and flexibility of target special effects.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0032] It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, data stored, data displayed, etc.) involved in this disclosure are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties. Furthermore, the collection, use and processing of the relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant countries and regions, and corresponding operation entry points are provided for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0033] The application scenarios of the embodiments of this disclosure are explained below:

[0034] Figure 1 illustrates an application scenario of the special effects display method provided in this embodiment. This method can be applied to applications with video effects editing capabilities, and more specifically, to the editing and use of video effects based on relational information. The executing entity in this embodiment can be a terminal device running the aforementioned application with video effects editing capabilities, a server running the server corresponding to the aforementioned application, or other electronic devices performing similar functions. Referring to Figure 1, taking a terminal device as an example, the terminal device loads a video effect within the application based on the user's operation. This video effect can be a custom effect created through other applications or platforms. Then, the terminal device triggers the video effect, inserting the effect image into the initial video, thereby generating a video with the effect image. The effect image generated by the video effect is based on the relational information of the current user (e.g., a user logged into the current application). Specifically, the effect image is generated, for example, based on related images and identifiers of related users followed by the current user. This relational information needs to be downloaded from the server side based on the user's request and permission during the process of triggering the custom effect.

[0035] In existing technologies, video effects based on relationship information require obtaining the corresponding relationship information from the server. Therefore, these effects necessitate binding a server-side relationship information retrieval interface to the code, allowing the necessary user information to be retrieved when the effect is triggered. However, binding this interface to the video effect at the code level is complex and has a high operational barrier. Consequently, such video effects are typically designed only by developers of video editing applications and platforms, rather than by general users, leading to high development costs and poor flexibility in their use.

[0036] This disclosure provides a special effects display method to solve the above problems.

[0037] Referring to Figure 2, which is a flowchart illustrating a special effects display method provided in this embodiment, the method can be applied to a terminal device. The special effects display method includes:

[0038] Step S101: In response to the triggering of the target effect, obtain the corresponding custom asset file, wherein the target effect is used to display at least one frame of effect image, the effect image is an image generated based on the current user's association relationship information, and the association relationship information represents the user identifier of the associated user who has an association relationship with the current user.

[0039] For example, referring to the application scenario diagram shown in Figure 1, after the terminal device runs an application with video editing functions, it first loads the original video to be processed. Then, based on user instructions, it selects the corresponding target effect to load the target effect into the original video, generating a video containing the effect (i.e., the target video referred to in the following part of this embodiment). In this embodiment, the target effect is used to display at least one frame of effect image in the original video. Specifically, this includes displaying a single frame image in the original video, such as a PNG image, or displaying a dynamic image in the original video, such as a sequence of frames. Further, the effect image generated by the target effect is generated based on the current user's association information, where the association information represents the user identifiers of associated users who are related to the current user. Here, the current user is, for example, a user logged into the aforementioned application or platform. The associated users are users who are related to the current user, such as users who have registered on the aforementioned application or platform and follow the current user; users who have registered on the aforementioned application or platform and are followed by the current user; or users who have registered on the aforementioned application or platform and become followers of the current user. Besides the above implementation methods, the specific definition and implementation of associated users can also include other methods, which can be set according to business needs and are not specifically limited here. The user identifiers of associated users include, for example, the associated user's (on the aforementioned application or platform) registered name, registration ID, user identification code, nickname, and avatar.

[0040] Furthermore, after the target effect is triggered, in order to generate the aforementioned effect image based on the current user's association information, the terminal device needs to obtain the association information corresponding to the current user. The terminal device achieves this by identifying and obtaining the custom asset file corresponding to the target effect. Specifically, the terminal device can determine the corresponding effect file or folder based on the name (unique identifier) ​​of the target effect, and then obtain the custom asset file corresponding to the target effect from the effect file or folder. This custom asset file is a data format obtained by encapsulating it based on a specific framework. It has a specific data structure and file extension. By loading and running this custom asset file, the purpose of obtaining user information can be achieved. The compilation method and data structure of the custom asset file are not specifically limited in this embodiment. The application running on the terminal device, after executing the target effect (corresponding program script), can load and utilize the custom asset file, thereby achieving the purpose of obtaining user information.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the target effect is a user-defined effect. This means that the effect developer can use other effects creation software to create effect templates with custom styles and effects, tailored to their needs and preferences. During the development of this target effect, the developer sets the pre-generated custom asset file in the target effect's project file, thus binding the target effect to the custom asset file. This ensures that when the target effect is triggered subsequently, the terminal device accurately obtains and calls the corresponding custom asset file. This custom asset file essentially encapsulates the "acquiring relationship information function." Because the effect developer can generate the target effect image based on relationship information simply by setting the custom asset file, without needing to implement the "acquiring relationship information function" at the code level, the development difficulty of target effects that generate effect images based on relationship information is greatly reduced. This results in "social relationship effects" (i.e., target effects) with this program structure and implemented based on it having greater diversity and flexibility.

[0042] Step S102: Load the custom asset file through the resource reference interface of the target effect, obtain the list of associations corresponding to the target effect, and obtain the corresponding association information from the server based on the list of associations.

[0043] For example, after obtaining the custom asset file, the resource reference interface of the target effect is used to load the custom asset file, thereby enabling its utilization. Specifically, this involves obtaining data from the custom asset file, executing the processing logic within the custom asset file, obtaining a list of relationships corresponding to the target effect, and retrieving relevant relationship information from the server based on this list, such as the nicknames and avatars of associated users. The relationship list is a collection of relationship information corresponding to multiple associated users. The number of relationships in the relationship list is determined after loading the custom asset file, using the data contained within it; that is, the number of relationships in the relationship list is determined based on the custom asset file.

[0044] In one possible implementation, as shown in Figure 3, the specific implementation of obtaining the corresponding association information from the server based on the association list in step S102 includes:

[0045] Step S1021: Obtain the target association type.

[0046] Step S1022: Determine the target association list from at least two association lists.

[0047] Step S1023: Based on the target association list, obtain the corresponding association information from the server.

[0048] For example, the association type represents the category of the relationship between the current user and its corresponding associated users. For example, it includes "following user", which means that the associated user corresponding to the association information in the association list follows the current user; it also includes "followed user", which means that the associated user corresponding to the association information in the association list is followed by the current user; and it also includes "fan user", which means that the associated user corresponding to the association information in the association list is a fan of the current user.

[0049] Correspondingly, different association types have corresponding association lists. For example, for "following users," there is an association list list_1, and for "followed users," there is an association list list_2. The list type (i.e., information that corresponds one-to-one with the association type) can be obtained by reading the type attribute of the association list. Further, in one possible implementation, the association type can be fixed to the target effect. For example, target effect A corresponds to the association type "followed users," and target effect B corresponds to the association type "followers." In another possible implementation, the association type can be set by the user before triggering the target effect. Regardless of the implementation method, after the target effect is triggered, the terminal device can obtain a type identifier representing the association type, and then determine the target association type based on this type identifier. Then, from the multiple association lists obtained by loading custom asset files through the resource reference interface, the target association list corresponding to the target association type is obtained. Finally, based on the record data in the target association list, the corresponding association information is retrieved from the corresponding storage location on the server. In one possible implementation, the record data in the target association list contains the server address and storage location of the corresponding association information. By downloading the data using the server address and storage location of the association information in the record data, the association information can be obtained.

[0050] Step S103: Generate the corresponding special effects image based on the correlation information.

[0051] For example, after obtaining the association information, corresponding processing can be performed based on the association information to generate the corresponding special effects image. Specifically, for example, if the association information is an associated user avatar, processing steps such as downsampling, blurring, or adding virtual item stickers can be performed on the associated user avatar to generate the special effects image. As another example, if the association information is a username (characters), the username can be rendered as a nickname image, and then the nickname image can be preliminarily processed as described above to generate the special effects image. The above two implementation methods can be executed individually or simultaneously, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0052] Optionally, the generated special effects image can then be rendered into the original video to preview the special effects of the target video, or the target video containing the aforementioned special effects image can be output, thus adding the target special effects to the original video. Optionally, the generated target video can then be further processed, such as being published to a server (i.e., published to an application or platform), or being saved or shared.

[0053] In this embodiment, in response to the triggering of a target effect, a corresponding custom asset file is obtained. The target effect displays at least one frame of an effect image, which is generated based on the current user's association information. The association information represents the user identifiers of associated users related to the current user. The custom asset file is loaded through the target effect's resource reference interface to obtain a list of associations corresponding to the target effect. Based on this list, the corresponding association information is retrieved from the server, and the corresponding effect image is generated. After triggering a target effect based on association information, the custom asset file is loaded, and its capabilities are used to obtain the list of associations corresponding to the target effect. User information is then retrieved from the server based on this list, and the effect image is generated based on the user information. Because the use of a custom asset file decouples the user information retrieval step, the target effect does not need to consider the specific implementation of retrieving association information during the design phase. This reduces the design difficulty and development cost of target effects based on association information, and increases the diversity and flexibility of target effects.

[0054] Referring to Figure 4, which is a flowchart illustrating the special effects display method provided in this embodiment, this embodiment further refines step S102 based on the embodiment shown in Figure 2. The special effects display method includes:

[0055] Step S201: In response to the triggering of the target effect, obtain the corresponding custom asset file, wherein the target effect is used to display at least one frame of effect image, the effect image is an image generated based on the current user's association relationship information, and the association relationship information represents the user identifier of the associated user who has an association relationship with the current user.

[0056] Step S202: Through the resource reference interface of the target effect, load the custom asset file from the project file corresponding to the target effect to obtain at least one associated resource object and the image style corresponding to the associated resource object. The associated resource object is used to provide associated information for the effect image of the corresponding image style.

[0057] For example, a target effect corresponds to a project containing multiple project files. A custom asset file is pre-installed within this project. After the target effect is triggered, the custom asset file is loaded from the project files through the target effect's resource reference interface. That is, in the target effect's program structure, the execution program of the target effect and the program that obtains user information are decoupled. The target effect loads the custom asset file through the resource reference interface, thereby obtaining the association information required for subsequently generating the effect image. Specifically, after loading the custom asset file, an association resource object is generated within the terminal device. This association resource object can be an instantiation of a class from the custom asset file. This association resource object corresponds to image style attributes. By using this association resource object, the purpose of providing association information for the effect image of the corresponding image style is ultimately achieved. Then, based on the association resource object and the corresponding image style, a list of associations corresponding to the target effect is obtained.

[0058] For example, the image styles corresponding to the associated resource objects include at least single-frame images and dynamic images, where a single-frame image is, for example, a PNG image, and a dynamic image is, for example, a sequence of frames. That is, through the associated resource objects corresponding to the above image styles, corresponding types of special effects images can be generated. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the mapping relationship between a custom asset file and a special effects image provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, after the custom asset file A is loaded, an associated resource object A_1 and a corresponding image style mod_1 (shown as mod_1 in the figure) are obtained. The image style mod_1 represents a single-frame image. Then, based on the associated resource object A_1 and the corresponding image style mod_1, a corresponding association list list_1 is generated. Finally, based on the association list list_1, association information info_1 that meets the generation requirements of a single-frame image is obtained from the server. The system generates a single-frame image P1 (P1.png), which is the special effects image corresponding to custom asset file A. Meanwhile, after custom asset file B is loaded, it obtains a relational resource object B_1 and a corresponding image style mod_2. This image style mod_2 represents a sequence frame (i.e., a dynamic image containing multiple frames). Then, based on the relational resource object B_1 and the corresponding image style mod_2, a corresponding relational list list_2 is generated. Next, based on this relational list list_2, the system retrieves the relational information info_2 that meets the generation requirements of the sequence frame from the server and generates the corresponding sequence frame P2 (png-seq, i.e., a collection of multiple png images), which is the special effects image corresponding to custom asset file B. The single-frame image P1 and the sequence frame P2 are the special effects images corresponding to the target special effects.

[0059] Furthermore, the image style corresponding to the associated resource object can be determined based on the file extension of the custom asset file when loading it. The following section details the specific steps for obtaining the list of relationships corresponding to the target effect based on the associated resource object and its corresponding image style.

[0060] Step S203: When the image style is a single-frame image, access the first attribute of the associated resource object to obtain the first relationship data indicating the associated user. The first relationship data includes a first identifier and a corresponding second identifier, wherein the first identifier represents the associated user name of the associated user and the second identifier represents the associated user avatar of the associated user.

[0061] For example, the associated resource object has multiple accessible attributes, which can be accessed through corresponding preset interfaces. When the image style is a single-frame image, accessing the first attribute of the associated resource object yields first relationship data representing the association information. This first relationship data is the user information required to generate the special effects image of the single-frame image class. Specifically, the first relationship data includes a first identifier and a corresponding second identifier, wherein the first identifier represents the associated user's associated user name, and the second identifier represents the associated user's associated user avatar.

[0062] For example, as shown in FIG6, the specific implementation of step S203 includes:

[0063] Step S2031: Obtain at least one first identifier and at least one second identifier by accessing the first attribute of the associated resource object.

[0064] Step S2032: Pair and store the first and second identifiers with the same identification information to obtain a pairing table containing at least one pairing record.

[0065] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a first relationship data provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 7, the first relationship data consists of a pairing table containing N pairing records, namely pairing records rec_1 to rec_N. Each pairing record includes a first identifier and a corresponding second identifier. The first identifier is the nickname of the associated user (e.g., User_1 and User_2 shown in the figure), and the second identifier is the avatar of the associated user. Each pairing record corresponds to a unique identification information to represent a user. When accessing the first attribute of the associated relationship resource object, the associated relationship resource object obtains at least one first identifier and at least one second identifier by accessing the server. Then, it is paired based on the identification information corresponding to the first identifier and the identification information corresponding to the second identifier. Those with the same identification information are grouped into a pairing record, thereby generating the above-mentioned pairing table.

[0066] For example, in one possible implementation, after obtaining the pairing table, the first relationship data can be directly generated based on the pairing table. That is, the first relationship data only includes paired first and second identifiers. Subsequently, when generating special effects images based on the first relationship data, special effects images that simultaneously possess both the first identifier (user nickname) and the second identifier (associated user avatar) can be generated. In another possible implementation, a non-pairing table can be further obtained, and the first relationship data can be generated jointly based on both the pairing table and the non-pairing table.

[0067] Step S2033: Store the first identifier or the second identifier that do not have the same identification information independently to obtain a non-pairing table.

[0068] Step S2034: Generate the first relation data based on the paired table and the unpaired table.

[0069] For example, similarly, based on the identification information, while obtaining paired first and second identifiers, unpaired first or second identifiers are converted into paired records containing only one identifier (first or second identifier), thus obtaining a non-paired table. Then, the paired and non-paired tables are combined to generate first relationship data. When generating special effects images based on the first relationship data, special effects images containing only the first identifier (user nickname) or the second identifier (associated user avatar) can be generated. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of another type of first relationship data provided in this embodiment. As shown in Figure 8, the first relationship data consists of a paired table and a non-paired table. The specific meaning of the paired table has been described in the embodiment shown in Figure 7 and will not be repeated here. The non-paired table includes paired records n_rec_1 to n_rec_M, each paired record containing only the first identifier (user nickname) or the second identifier (associated user avatar). For example, as shown in the figure, pairing record n_rec_1 contains the user nickname User_3 but not the associated user avatar (represented by NULL, the same below); while pairing record n_rec_2 contains the associated user avatar but not the user nickname.

[0070] Subsequently, in one possible implementation, the combination of the paired table and the unpaired table constitutes the first relationship data. Based on each paired record in this first relationship data, a list of relationships corresponding to the target effect can be generated.

[0071] Step S204: When the image style is a dynamic image, access the second attribute of the associated resource object to obtain the second relationship data indicating the associated user. The second relationship data includes a preset number of third identifiers, the third identifiers correspond to the user information of the associated user, and the preset number is the number of image frames of the dynamic image.

[0072] For example, in another possible implementation, when the image style of the associated resource object is a dynamic image, such as a sequence of frames, the associated resource object has a second attribute. Accessing the second attribute of the associated resource object yields second relationship data. The second relationship data includes a preset number of third identifiers representing the number of image frames of the dynamic image. For example, the third identifier represents an image containing the associated user name and the associated user avatar; that is, each third identifier corresponds to one relationship information. The number of third identifiers in the second relationship data (the preset number) is the number of image frames corresponding to the dynamic image (the sequence length in the sequence of frames). The specific implementation of accessing the second attribute of the associated resource object to obtain the second relationship data is similar to the specific implementation of accessing the first attribute of the associated resource object to obtain the first relationship data, and can be referred to the previous section for details, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, after obtaining the second relationship data, a list of related relationships corresponding to the target effect can be generated based on the second relationship data. The specific implementation method is similar to the method of generating a list of related relationships based on the first relationship data, and will not be elaborated here.

[0074] Step S205: Determine the list of relationships based on the first relationship data and / or the second relationship data.

[0075] For example, based on the above description, the association list can be generated independently based on the first relationship data or the second relationship data. The specific implementation depends on the custom asset file corresponding to the target effect. Specifically, for example, if the target effect corresponds to (generates) only one effect image, then the corresponding first relationship data or second relationship data is obtained according to the image type of that effect image, i.e., the image style (single frame image or sequence frame) corresponding to the association resource object. Then, based on the obtained first relationship data or second relationship data, the corresponding association list is obtained to realize the corresponding type of effect image.

[0076] For example, in another possible implementation, when the target effect corresponds to (generates) more than one effect image, and the image styles corresponding to the effect images are different, the association list can be jointly determined based on the first relationship data and the second relationship data.

[0077] For example, as shown in FIG9, the specific implementation of step S205 includes:

[0078] Step S2051: Determine the number of target associated users based on the first relationship data and the second relationship data.

[0079] Step S2052: Based on the number of users associated with the target, obtain a list of relationships corresponding to the target effect.

[0080] First, based on the first and second relationship data, the target number of associated users is determined. This target number of associated users is the number of users set in the relationship list. For example, if the current user, User_1, has 100 associated users, based on the first and second relationship data, 10 of these associated users are identified, generating the corresponding relationship list. Subsequently, the relevant user information is retrieved, and a special effects image is generated. In the example above, 10 represents the target number of associated users. Then, based on the determined target number of associated users, the target number of associated users is selected from all the current user's associated users in a specific way, generating the relationship list corresponding to the target special effects.

[0081] For example, the specific implementation of step S2051 includes:

[0082] Step S2051A: Obtain the first number of associated users. The first number of associated users is the larger of the capacity of the pairing table corresponding to the first relationship data and the preset number corresponding to the second relationship data.

[0083] Step S2051B: Determine the target number of associated users based on the sum of the number of first associated users and the capacity of the non-paired table corresponding to the first relationship data.

[0084] The pairing table corresponding to the first relationship data includes paired records where user names and associated user avatars are stored together. The capacity of this pairing table is the number of paired records where user names and associated user avatars are stored together. The preset quantity corresponding to the first relationship data is the number of image frames corresponding to the dynamic image. The capacity of the pairing table and the preset quantity are the number of associated users corresponding to each of the two image styles, containing complete relationship information (user name plus associated user avatar). The larger of the two is determined as the first associated user quantity, thus obtaining the amount of relationship information required to cover the generation of special effects images corresponding to the two image styles. Then, the capacity of the non-pairing table corresponding to the first relationship data is obtained, for example, the second associated user quantity. Finally, the sum of the first and second associated user quantities is calculated to obtain the target associated user quantity. Among them, the non-pairing table corresponding to the first relationship data contains non-paired user information (i.e., individual user names or associated user avatars). The above-mentioned non-paired user information needs to be used when generating special effects images of the single-frame image type. Therefore, the final target associated user quantity (generated relationship list) needs to be able to cover this part of the user information.

[0085] The target number of associated users obtained in this embodiment is equivalent to the minimum number of associated users required to create a special effects image that can achieve the two image styles. Compared to generating an association list using all associated users of the current user, the association list generated based on the target number of associated users occupies less memory and system resources, and improves the loading speed of the special effects image.

[0086] It should be noted that, based on the previous introduction, since the first relation data and the second relation data are determined according to the associated resource objects and the corresponding image styles, the above steps S203-S205 are the specific implementation methods for determining the corresponding target associated user number based on the associated resource objects and the corresponding image styles.

[0087] For example, after obtaining the target number of associated users, from all associated users, the associated users of the target number of associated users are selected randomly or in other specific ways, such as parameters such as the intimacy (between the current user and the associated user) and the frequency of communication, to obtain a list of association relationships. The specific implementation method has been introduced in the previous embodiment section and will not be repeated here.

[0088] Step S206: Obtain the corresponding association information from the server based on the association list.

[0089] Step S207: Generate the corresponding special effects image based on the correlation information.

[0090] For example, after obtaining the list of association relationships, the server downloads the corresponding association relationship information for the associated users represented by the association relationship list, and then generates the corresponding special effects image based on the association relationship information. The specific implementation method has been described in the previous embodiment section and will not be repeated here. In one possible implementation method, if a valid image is not obtained using the custom asset file after the above steps, for example, if the current user has no associated users, or the total number of associated users of the current user is too small, then a preset fallback image is used to replace and generate the corresponding special effects image. The specific implementation steps are described in detail.

[0091] Optionally, after generating the corresponding special effects image, the following may also be included:

[0092] Step S208: Generate the target video based on the special effects image and publish the target video.

[0093] Step S209: After the target video is published, obtain at least one target association information. The target association information is the association information corresponding to the target special effects image displayed in the target display pose in the target video.

[0094] For example, after obtaining the special effects image based on the above steps, rendering the special effects image onto the original video yields the corresponding target video. The specific implementation process is existing technology and will not be elaborated further. Subsequently, in response to user instructions or pre-defined logic of the application, the target video can be further published, that is, published to the application or platform, allowing other users to view the target video. Then, the terminal device obtains a target special effects image from the special effects images displayed in the target video. The target special effects image is the special effects image displayed in a specific target display pose, and the association information corresponding to the target special effects image is the target association information.

[0095] Specifically, the steps of the above embodiments can be applied to the following specific application scenarios:

[0096] In scenarios such as platform user lotteries and random selection of lucky fans, based on the aforementioned target special effects, it is possible to dynamically display multiple single-frame images or a sequence of frames within the target video. Specifically, special effect images generated from the association information of different associated users (e.g., images containing associated user avatars and nicknames) will move and / or rotate within the target video. Finally, from among the multiple special effect images within the target video, a target special effect image is randomly selected and displayed in a specific position and posture, indicating that the special effect image (corresponding to the associated user) has been selected. This enables activities such as platform user lotteries and random selection of lucky fans. The "randomly selected" associated user is the target associated user, and the corresponding association information of the target associated user is the target association information.

[0097] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of target association information provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 9, when target effects are added to the original video, the generated target video contains a cube-shaped virtual prop. Simultaneously, the effect images generated based on the association information include the avatars of six associated users, respectively set on the six faces of the virtual prop (only three faces are shown in the figure, corresponding to the association information User_1, User_2, and User_3). When the above target effect is triggered, the virtual prop appears in the video and randomly rolls and moves, simulating real physical collision laws. The effect images on the six faces of the virtual prop also rotate and move accordingly until the virtual prop stops. The association information corresponding to the effect image facing the camera (shown as User_3 in the figure) is then determined as the target association information. The above process is a graphical random extraction process; the specific implementation principle and method will not be elaborated further.

[0098] It should be noted that in the above-mentioned scenarios of random selection activities such as platform user lottery and random selection of lucky fans, there are various specific implementation processes for randomly selecting one target platform user (target associated user) from multiple platform users (associated users). For example, the random selection process and special effects styles can all be set as needed. The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the method of determining target association information.

[0099] Step S210: Send hit information to the server based on the target association information. The hit information is used to enable the server to send a notification message to the target associated user corresponding to the target association information.

[0100] For example, the randomly selected result, i.e. the target user information determined in the above steps, is then notified to the corresponding target associated user. Specifically, the terminal device sends hit information to the server, and the hit information contains an identifier indicating the target user information. The server sends a notification message to the corresponding target associated user based on the hit information. After receiving the notification message, the target associated user displays or broadcasts it to achieve the purpose of hit notification.

[0101] For example, the hit information includes at least one of the following: the current user's identification identifier, the target effect's identification identifier, and the target video's release time.

[0102] In this embodiment, in a randomly selected scenario, by sending the random selection result based on the target effect to the hit user (target-related user), the social attributes of the target effect are improved, thus enhancing the social effect.

[0103] Alternatively, in another possible implementation, after step S202, the following steps are also included:

[0104] Step S208A: Obtain the notification switch status by loading the custom asset file.

[0105] Step S208B: When the switch state is the target state, execute step S209.

[0106] For example, on the other hand, by loading a custom asset file, the notification switch status can be obtained. The notification switch is a switch module used to set whether to send a notification to the target associated user (hit user) in the above steps. In one possible implementation, the notification switch has a first state and a second state, where the first state indicates that the function is on and the second state indicates that the function is off. In this case, the first state is the target state. When the switch state is the first state, step S210 is executed, that is, the hit information is sent to the server based on the target association information; otherwise, when the switch state is the second state, the process ends and no more hit messages are sent.

[0107] The notification switch status can be a parameter set based on user instructions. After loading the custom asset file, the notification switch status can be obtained through the interface provided by the associated resource unit, and the above judgment steps can be executed. That is, the custom asset file provides the ability to obtain the notification switch status, enabling the terminal device to obtain the notification switch status by loading the custom asset file. The specific implementation process will not be described in detail.

[0108] In this embodiment, the implementation of step S201 is the same as that of step SS101 in the embodiment shown in FIG2 of this disclosure, and will not be described in detail here.
