[0018] In this specification and the embodiments, if personal information processing is involved, it will be processed on the premise of having a legal basis (such as obtaining the consent of the subject of personal information, or it is necessary to perform a contract, etc.), and will only be processed within the scope of regulations or agreements. If a user refuses to process personal information other than the necessary information for basic functions, it will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0019] As mentioned above, with the increasing maturity of network technology, using network platforms to obtain content has become a daily routine for people. For example, people can use network platforms to subscribe to content that they are interested in. However, existing subscription services can only support users to set the source of content (for example, media or users they follow, etc.). Users cannot set the content scope of the subscription content according to their own needs, so existing subscription services cannot meet the needs of users.

[0020] The embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a solution for content subscription. According to the solution, in a conversation interface with a virtual object, a content subscription request from a user is received; in response to receiving the content subscription request, a configuration control is presented in the conversation interface; based on the configuration control, a content range associated with the content subscription request is determined; and response content is presented in the conversation interface, the response content being generated based on a set of reference content, the set of reference content being determined based on the content range.

[0021] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can obtain the user's content subscription request based on the conversation interface with the virtual object. Moreover, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide the user with a configuration control in response to receiving the content subscription request, so as to determine the content range associated with the content acquisition request based on the configuration control. Further, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide the user with response content generated based on the content range. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can determine the content range of the subscribed content based on the user's configuration, so as to generate response content based on the content range. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can meet the user's demand for subscribing to content, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the subscribed content.

[0022] Various example implementations of the solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example Environment

[0024] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110 .

[0025] In this example environment 100, the electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports interface interaction. The application 120 may be any appropriate type of application for interface interaction, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, a call application, a conference application, a social application, or other appropriate applications. The user 140 may interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached device.

[0026] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100, if the application 120 is in an active state, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 150 for supporting interface interaction through the application 120.

[0027] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to provide services for the application 120. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a handheld computer, a portable game terminal, a VR / AR device, 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 receiver, an e-book device, a game device, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0028] The server 130 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 130 may include, for example, a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, etc. The server 130 may provide background services for the application 120 that supports virtual scenes in the electronic device 110.

[0029] A communication connection may be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established in a wired manner or a wireless manner. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

[0030] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0031] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example Interaction

[0033] FIG. 2A to FIG. 2E 200A to 200F according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 1 The electronic device 110 is provided as shown.

[0034] In some embodiments, Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can present a conversation interface 200A with a virtual object. The electronic device 110 can present a conversation message between the user and the virtual object in the conversation interface 200A. For example, the form of the conversation message can include text form, image form, audio form, etc.

[0035] In some embodiments, a virtual object may include any appropriate processing entity that supports interaction through prompts, etc. In some scenarios, a virtual object may also be referred to as a virtual entity, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, an agent, a bot, or other objects that support interaction through dialogue (e.g., text dialogue or voice dialogue, etc.). Such a virtual object may, for example, be implemented using an appropriate machine learning model to interact accordingly based on the received prompts. The present disclosure is not intended to limit the specific construction method of the virtual object.

[0036] Additionally, the electronic device 110 may receive a content subscription request from the user in the conversation interface 200A. As an example, the electronic device 110 may receive a content subscription request from the user based on text content, language content associated with content subscription, and / or triggering of a subscription control 202 (e.g., a subscription interest content control) input by the user. Taking the text content input by the user as an example, the electronic device 110 may determine the content subscription request from the user based on the text content 204 in response to receiving the text content 204 input by the user (e.g., "Set subscription: XX million XX type of car").

[0037] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a configuration control in the session interface 200A in response to receiving a content subscription request. For example, the electronic device 110 may present a configuration control 206 in the session interface 200A. The electronic device 110 may present a first group of candidates in the configuration control 206. The first group of candidates may include, for example, candidate 207-1, candidate 207-2, and candidate 207-3. For example, the first group of candidates may indicate different content ranges. As an example, the first group of candidates is a constraint on a first dimension of the content range. As an example, the first dimension may be determined based on reference information of a user corresponding to the content subscription request.

[0038] Additionally, the electronic device 110 may determine a content range corresponding to the at least one candidate item in response to the selection of at least one candidate item in the first group of candidate items. The electronic device 110 may determine a group of reference content based on the content range. Further, the electronic device 110 may generate response content based on the group of reference content. Such a candidate item may include multiple preset content ranges, and the user may specify the corresponding content range by, for example, clicking on the candidate item.

[0039] For example, the type associated with the first group of candidate items may include at least one of a search scope type, a release time type, a value weight type, and the like.

[0040] For example, the first group of candidate items associated with the search scope type can be used to limit the source of the reference content. For example, the first group of candidate items associated with the search scope type can include: "Unlimited" (indicating that the source of the reference content is not limited), "Followed People" corresponding to candidate item 207-1 (for example, indicating that the reference content comes from the content posted by the user's "Followed People"), "Recently Viewed" (indicating that the reference content comes from the user's "recently viewed" content, such as the content that the user has viewed in a week), "Not Viewed Yet" (indicating that the reference content comes from the user's "not yet viewed" content).

[0041] For example, the candidate items of the release time type can be used to limit the release time of the reference content. The first group of candidate items associated with the release time type may include: "Unlimited" (indicating that the release time of the reference content is not limited), "Last day" (indicating that the release time of the reference content needs to be within one day), "Last week" corresponding to candidate item 207-2 (indicating that the release time of the reference content needs to be within one week), and "Last month" (indicating that the release time of the reference content needs to be within one month).

[0042] For example, candidates of the value weight type can be used to limit the priority of reference content. The first group of candidates associated with the value weight type may include: "comprehensive sorting" (indicating that the priority of reference content is determined comprehensively based on various information of the reference content (e.g., publishing agency, popularity, current user's attention, etc.)), "authority priority" (indicating that the priority of reference content is determined based on the authority of the publishing agency), "popularity priority" corresponding to candidate 207-3 (e.g., indicating that the priority of reference content is determined based on the popularity of the reference content (e.g., number of views, number of comments, number of reposts, etc.)), and "attention priority" (e.g., giving priority to content published by users that the user follows).

[0043] Additionally, the electronic device 110 may determine the push time of the content subscription request based on the configuration control.

[0044] For example, the type associated with the first group of candidates may also include a push time type. For example, the push time type candidate may be used to define the priority of the reference content. The first group of candidates associated with the push time type may include: "Every day at 8 o'clock" (for example, indicating that the subscribed content is pushed on time at 8 o'clock every morning), "Every Monday" (for example, indicating that the subscribed content is pushed every Monday), etc.

[0045] For example, the electronic device 110 may also provide an input control 208 in the configuration control 206. Further, the electronic device 110 may obtain additional input content of the user based on the input control 208 to determine additional conditions for the content subscription request based on the additional input content. For example, the electronic device 110 determines the push time (for example, "5 pm every day") based on the additional input content obtained by the input control 208 (for example, "the push time is set to 5 pm every day"). For example, the electronic device 110 determines the content scope of the content subscription request (for example, all the subscribed content comes from the content published by "XX newspaper") based on the additional input content obtained by the input control 208 (for example, "XX newspaper published"). In addition, the electronic device 110 may also obtain the retrieval cycle input by the user based on the input control 208 to ensure the timeliness and convenience of information acquisition.

[0046] Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may present a second set of candidate items associated with the content subscription request in response to the content subscription request satisfying a preset condition. As an example, the electronic device 110 may present a second set of candidate items associated with the content subscription request in response to the semantic content of the content subscription request satisfying a preset condition (e.g., the semantics are ambiguous or not specific enough, etc.). For example, the electronic device 110 may determine whether the semantic content of the content subscription request satisfies the preset condition based on a language processing model. The language processing model may be implemented as a machine learning model with semantic analysis capabilities. The present disclosure is not intended to limit the specific implementation of the language processing model.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 2B As shown, the electronic device 110 can present a second set of candidates associated with the content subscription request in the conversation interface 200B with the virtual object. Such candidates can correspond to multiple candidate search constraints. As an example, the second set of candidates is determined based on the content subscription request. As an example, the second set of candidates is a constraint on a second dimension of the content range. The second dimension is different from the aforementioned first dimension. As an example, the second dimension can be determined based on the request content in the content subscription request.

[0048] For example, the electronic device 110 may determine a second set of candidate items associated with the content subscription request based on the content subscription request (e.g., including "XX million XX type of car"). The second set of candidate items may include, for example, candidate item 209-1 ("fuel consumption"), candidate item 209-2 ("performance"), and candidate item 209-3 ("appearance"), etc. Further, the electronic device 110 may receive a selection of at least one candidate item in the second set of candidate items, so that a set of reference content is also determined based on the selected at least one candidate item.

[0049] As an example, the electronic device 110 may generate a set of search terms based on the content subscription request.

[0050] like Figure 2C As shown, the electronic device 110 can present a set of search items based on the content subscription request in the conversation interface 200C with the virtual object. For example, the electronic device 110 can determine the search item 210-1 ("landing price within XX million") and / or "bare car price within XX million" associated with "XX million" based on the content subscription request ("XX million XX type car"), etc. For example, the electronic device 110 can determine the search item 210-2 ("new energy"), "electric car" and / or "multiple configurations" associated with "XX type" based on the content subscription request ("XX million XX type car"), etc. For example, the electronic device 110 can determine the search item 210-3 ("SUV"), "sedan" and / or "7-seat MPV" associated with "XX type" based on the content subscription request ("XX million XX type car"), etc. Further, the electronic device 110 can determine a set of reference content from a content set that matches the content range based on a set of search items. As an example, a content set that matches the content range can include multiple preset contents. The electronic device 110 may determine a group of reference contents whose associations satisfy a preset condition (eg, the associations are higher than a threshold) from among the plurality of preset contents based on the associations between the group of search terms and the plurality of preset contents.

[0051] Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may trigger an update of at least one parameter associated with the content subscription request in response to receiving an update request from the user. (For example, adjusting the "XX million" in "XX million XX type car" to "YY million"). Further, the electronic device 110 may generate a new set of search items based on the updated content subscription request.

[0052] As an example, the electronic device 110 may receive an update request from the user based on the text content, voice content and / or triggering of the update control input by the user to trigger the update of at least one parameter associated with the content subscription request. For example, if the text content input by the user is "adjust the push time of the subscription to 12 noon", the electronic device 110 may adjust the push time of the content subscription request to "12 noon" based on the text content. For example, the electronic device 110 may stop pushing the subscription content to the user in response to the triggering (e.g., clicking operation) of the unsubscribe control (not shown in the figure).

[0053] Additionally or alternatively, such as Figure 2D As shown, the electronic device 110 can present a process animation of content search in the conversation interface 200D with the virtual object 200D. For example, the electronic device 110 can present a process animation of content search in the process of generating response content. As an example, the process animation can indicate the search terms, content publishers, reference content and / or the number of reference content associated with the content subscription request, etc. As an example, the electronic device 110 can present text content and / or image content associated with at least one search term and / or at least one content provider in the process animation. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can visualize the process of retrieving reference content, meeting the user's interactive needs.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 2E As shown, the electronic device 110 can present the response content generated based on a set of reference content in the conversation interface 200E with the virtual object. For example, the electronic device 110 can present the response content based on a structured style in the conversation interface 200E to characterize the hierarchical relationship of multiple parts of the response content. Further, the electronic device 110 can display additional content associated with the target part in the conversation interface 200E in response to receiving a preset operation (e.g., a click operation) for a target part among the multiple parts. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can refine and summarize a set of reference content to present the response content based on a structured display, and link the content to the original reference content. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the efficiency of users in acquiring and processing information.

[0055] Alternatively, the electronic device 110 may present the response content based on the first style. The first style may indicate multiple title contents of the response content. For example, Figure 2EAs shown, the multiple title contents may include title 212-1, title 212-2, and title 212-3, etc. Further, the electronic device 110 may present additional content associated with the target title content (e.g., title 212-2) in response to the selection of the target title content (e.g., title 212-2) in the multiple title contents. As an example, the additional content may include detailed content corresponding to the target title content (content generated based on the reference content) or the reference content cited.

[0056] Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may present the response content based on a second style. The second style may indicate that multiple content items and corresponding time information of the response content are presented based on a chronological order. As an example, the second style may also be referred to as an event context. As an example, the response content may be an XX event. The multiple content items of the response content may include multiple event progress contents associated with the XX event. Each event progress content has a corresponding occurrence time. The electronic device 110 may present multiple event progress contents in reverse order based on the occurrence time of the multiple event progress contents. For example, each content item may include a title content and a summary content corresponding to the title content.

[0057] Additionally, the electronic device 110 may present additional content associated with the response content item in response to the selection of the response content item in the plurality of content items. As an example, the additional content may include detailed content (content generated based on the reference content) corresponding to the response content item or the referenced reference content.

[0058] Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may present reference information associated with the response content in the conversation interface 200E. The reference information may indicate at least one reference content in a set of reference contents. As an example, the reference information may also indicate the number of a set of reference contents. As an example, the electronic device 110 may present detailed content of at least one reference content in response to a trigger (e.g., a click operation) on the reference information.

[0059] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present the response content in the conversation interface with the virtual object at the target time. As an example, the target time may be a preset time (e.g., a system preset time (e.g., "12 noon every day")). For example, the target time may be a push time determined based on the configuration information (e.g., the push time indicated by the configuration information is "8 am every day").

[0060] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can obtain the user's content subscription request based on the conversation interface with the virtual object. Moreover, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide the user with a configuration control in response to receiving the content subscription request, so as to determine the content range associated with the content acquisition request based on the configuration control. Further, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide the user with response content generated based on the content range. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can determine the content range of the subscribed content based on the user's configuration, so as to generate response content based on the content range. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can meet the user's demand for subscribing to content, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the subscribed content.

[0061] Example Process

[0075] In some embodiments, process 300 further includes: presenting reference information associated with the response content in the conversation interface, the reference information indicating at least one reference content in a set of reference contents.

[0076] In some embodiments, process 300 further includes: in response to receiving an update request from a user, triggering an update of at least one parameter associated with the content subscription request.
