It should be noted that these embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described here.

[0038] Embodiment 1 Figure 2 The flowchart of the barrage sending method according to the first embodiment of the present application is schematically shown.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the bullet screen sending method may include steps S200 to S208, wherein: Step S200: displaying a multimedia content playback interface, wherein a target control is displayed on the multimedia content playback interface.

[0040] Step S202, in response to a trigger operation on a target control, a bullet screen selection area is displayed.

[0041] Step S204, playing a preset animation in the barrage selection area, wherein the preset animation is used to represent the extraction of a candidate barrage content from multiple candidate barrage contents as the target candidate barrage content.

[0042] Step S206, when the preset animation is finished playing, display the target candidate bullet screen content in the bullet screen selection area.

[0043] Step S208, in response to the barrage sending operation for the target candidate barrage content, sending the target barrage generated based on the target candidate barrage content.

[0044] In response to a trigger operation on a target control (such as a barrage control), a barrage selection area is displayed, and a preset animation is played in the barrage selection area, wherein the preset animation is used to represent the extraction of a candidate barrage content from multiple candidate barrage contents as the target candidate barrage content. When the preset animation is finished playing, the target candidate barrage content is displayed in the barrage selection area, and in response to a barrage sending operation on the target candidate barrage content, a target barrage generated based on the target candidate barrage content is sent. The above-mentioned barrage sending method enables users to send random barrages, making users more interested in participating in sending barrages, improving the playability and fun of barrage sending, and enhancing user experience.

[0045] Steps S200 to S208 and other optional steps are described in detail below.

[0046] Step S200: displaying a multimedia content playback interface, wherein a target control is displayed on the multimedia content playback interface.

[0047] The multimedia content playback interface is an interface on the device screen for playing multimedia content. In actual applications, the multimedia content playback interface includes not only a multimedia content playback area, but also a bullet screen function area, a bullet screen display area, etc.

[0048] The multimedia content playback area is used to play multimedia content. The multimedia content playback area may include a player, controls and / or other display elements, such as play / pause, volume control, speed, progress bar and / or bullet screen settings. The multimedia content playback area may be full screen, 1 / 4 screen, 1 / 2 screen, 3 / 4 screen, etc. Among them, the player may support various video types, such as live broadcast, on-demand (such as movies, TV shows, user-uploaded videos, animations, etc.).

[0049] The bullet screen function area is used to implement the relevant interactive functions of the bullet screen. The bullet screen function area may include a bullet screen input area, and other spaces or display elements related to the bullet screen function, such as the target control, gift control, etc.

[0050] The bullet comment display area is used to display the bullet comments sent by users.

[0051] It should be noted that the display positions of the multimedia content playback area, the bullet screen function area, and the bullet screen display area in the multimedia content playback interface may be pre-set, and this is not limited in the present embodiment of the application.

[0052] The multimedia content may be live video, on-demand video, pictures, various types of text (such as news, novels, etc.), music, etc.

[0053] The target control (such as a button) serves as a function entry for starting the activity of participating in sending target barrage. For example, the activity of sending target barrage is an activity of sending random barrage whose first word of the barrage content is "receive". In practical applications, users can start the activity of participating in sending target barrage by clicking or swiping the target control. When the user clicks or swipes the target control again, the function entry for the activity of participating in sending target barrage can be closed.

[0054] In this embodiment, by displaying the target control on the multimedia content playback interface, users can be guided to participate in the activity of sending target barrage.

[0055] In an alternative embodiment, the multimedia content playback interface includes a multimedia content playback area and a barrage function area, and the target control is displayed on the barrage function area.

[0056] Among them, the target control can be displayed at any position on the barrage function area.

[0057] As an example, refer to Figure 3 , the multimedia content playback interface includes a multimedia content playback area a, a barrage display area b, and a barrage function area c, and the target control ("receive" control) is displayed on the right side of the barrage input area in the barrage function area c.

[0058] In other embodiments, the target control can also be directly displayed on the multimedia content playback area, and the specific position displayed on the multimedia content playback area can be set according to actual situations.

[0059] Step S202, in response to a trigger operation on the target control, display a barrage selection area.

[0060] The trigger operation can be a click operation, a double-click operation, a swipe operation, etc.

[0061] The barrage selection area is used for users to randomly or independently select candidate barrage content to be sent, and for playing a preset animation, displaying candidate barrage content, etc.

[0062] In this embodiment, after the user performs a trigger operation on the target control, the barrage selection area will be displayed on the multimedia content playback interface for subsequent playing of a preset animation in the barrage selection area, and when the preset animation is played, the target candidate barrage content will be displayed in the barrage selection area.

[0063] Among them, the barrage selection area can occupy 1 / 4 screen, 1 / 2 screen, 3 / 4 screen, etc. of the entire multimedia content playback interface.

[0064] Step S204, play a preset animation in the bullet screen selection area, where the preset animation is used to represent extracting one candidate bullet screen content from multiple candidate bullet screen contents as the target candidate bullet screen content.

[0065] The animation content in the preset animation can be set according to the actual situation and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0066] As an example, the animation content of the preset animation may include a special effect display (such as a scrolling display) of multiple candidate bullet screen contents, and finally a screen of randomly extracting one candidate bullet screen content from multiple candidate bullet screen contents. In addition, the animation content of some animation frames in the preset animation may also include an icon for reflecting the theme of the candidate bullet screen content.

[0067] It should be noted that, in order to enhance the atmosphere, the preset animation may also include an entrance atmosphere screen. For example, a screen of fireworks blooming is used as the entrance atmosphere screen.

[0068] As an example, one of the animation frames in the preset animation is as Figure 4 shown, which includes multiple candidate bullet screen contents and an icon for reflecting the theme of the candidate bullet screen content, that is, the icon of the character "receive".

[0069] The multiple candidate bullet screen contents are pre-configured. Each candidate bullet screen content may consist of a bullet screen copywriting and an icon matching the theme of the bullet screen copywriting. The target candidate bullet screen content can be randomly extracted from multiple candidate bullet screen contents, or extracted from multiple candidate bullet screen contents according to a pre-set algorithm.

[0070] It should be noted that the candidate bullet screen content may also be picture information, text information, audio information, etc. Among them, the candidate bullet screen content may also include one or more of the above information at the same time. For example, the candidate bullet screen content may include pictures and corresponding texts at the same time.

[0071] Step S206, when the preset animation is played out, display the target candidate bullet screen content in the bullet screen selection area.

[0072] In this embodiment, after the preset animation is played out, the target candidate bullet screen content will be promptly displayed in the bullet screen selection area so that the user can intuitively understand the bullet screen content currently extracted by him / her.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, step S206 may include: When the preset animation is played out, display the target candidate bullet screen content in a pop-up window form in the bullet screen selection area.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the preset animation is finished playing, the target candidate barrage content can be highlighted by displaying the target candidate barrage content in the barrage selection area in the form of a pop-up window.

[0075] In other embodiments, when the preset animation is played, other methods may be used to display the target candidate barrage content on the barrage selection area. For example, the target candidate barrage content may be highlighted by changing the display style of the target candidate barrage content on the barrage selection area. The display style may be changed by amplifying the target candidate barrage content, changing the color of the target candidate barrage content, etc.

[0076] Step S208, in response to the barrage sending operation for the target candidate barrage content, sending the target barrage generated based on the target candidate barrage content.

[0077] The bullet screen sending operation may be a single click operation, a double click operation, a sliding operation, etc. on the target candidate bullet screen content. The bullet screen sending operation may also be a single click operation, a double click operation, a sliding operation, etc. triggered by a bullet screen sending control (button) displayed on the bullet screen selection area.

[0078] The target barrage may include the target candidate barrage content, the nickname of the sender of the target barrage, the sending time of the target barrage, etc.

[0079] In summary, by extracting a candidate barrage content from multiple candidate barrage contents as the target candidate barrage content; when the preset animation is played, the target candidate barrage content is displayed in the barrage selection area; in response to the barrage sending operation for the target candidate barrage content, the target barrage generated based on the target candidate barrage content is sent, thereby realizing the function of users sending random barrages, making users more interested in participating in sending barrages, improving the playability and fun of barrage sending, and enhancing user experience.

[0080] In an optional embodiment, the method further comprises: When the preset animation is finished playing, at least one candidate bullet screen content is displayed statically or in motion in the bullet screen selection area.

[0081] In this embodiment, when the preset animation is played, at least one candidate bullet screen content will be displayed statically or movingly in the bullet screen selection area as a background to highlight the target candidate bullet screen content.

[0082] Among them, at least one candidate barrage content can be moved in the barrage selection area from the right side of the screen along the horizontal direction to the left side of the screen, and at least one candidate barrage content can also be moved in the barrage selection area from the left side of the screen along the horizontal direction to the right side of the screen.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the method further comprises: When the preset animation is finished playing, a bullet screen sending control is displayed in the bullet screen selection area in the form of a pop-up window.

[0084] The barrage sending control is a control (button) used to trigger the generation of a barrage sending instruction. When the user performs a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a sliding operation, etc. on the barrage sending control, the barrage sending instruction will be generated. After detecting the barrage sending instruction, the client will generate a target barrage based on the target candidate barrage content and send the target barrage out so that the target barrage can be displayed in the playback interface of the multimedia content later.

[0085] It can be understood that the barrage sending control can be displayed at any position on the barrage selection area.

[0086] In this embodiment, the barrage sending control can be displayed in an independent pop-up window, that is, the target candidate barrage content is displayed through a first pop-up window, and the barrage sending control is displayed through a second pop-up window different from the first pop-up window.

[0087] In other implementations, the barrage sending control may also be displayed in the same pop-up window as the target candidate barrage content.

[0088] In other implementations, the barrage sending control may also be directly embedded in the barrage selection area.

[0089] Correspondingly, in response to a barrage sending operation for a target candidate barrage content, sending a target barrage generated based on the target candidate barrage content includes: In response to a trigger operation on the barrage sending control, a target barrage generated based on the target candidate barrage content is sent.

[0090] The triggering operation for the bullet screen sending control may be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a sliding operation, etc.

[0091] In this embodiment, the target barrage generated based on the target candidate barrage content will be sent only after the user triggers the barrage sending control, so that the user can conveniently control whether to send the target barrage.

[0092] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 5 , the method further comprises: Step S500, when the preset animation is finished playing, a change control is displayed in the bullet screen selection area in the form of a pop-up window.

[0093] Step S502, in response to the triggering operation of the change control, re-extract a candidate barrage content from multiple candidate barrage contents as a new target candidate barrage content, and display the new target candidate barrage content in the barrage selection area.

[0094] The switch control is a control (button) for triggering the generation of a bullet screen re-extraction instruction. When the user triggers the switch control, the bullet screen re-extraction instruction is generated. After detecting the bullet screen re-extraction instruction, the client re-extracts a candidate bullet screen content from multiple candidate bullet screen contents as a new target candidate bullet screen content, and displays the new target candidate bullet screen content in the bullet screen selection area.

[0095] In this embodiment, the change control can also be displayed in an independent pop-up window, that is, the target candidate bullet content is displayed in the first pop-up window, the bullet sending control is displayed in the second pop-up window, and the change control is displayed in the third pop-up window. The first pop-up window, the second pop-up window and the third pop-up window are different pop-up windows.

[0096] For example, see Figure 6 The change control, the target candidate barrage content and the barrage sending control are displayed in different pop-up windows respectively.

[0097] In other implementations, the switch control may also be displayed in the same pop-up window as the target candidate barrage content, or may be displayed in the same pop-up window as the barrage sending control.

[0098] In other implementations, the switch control may also be directly embedded into the bullet screen selection area.

[0099] In this embodiment, a change control is provided so that the user can re-extract new candidate barrage content when the user is not satisfied with the currently extracted candidate barrage content, thereby improving the user experience.

[0100] In an optional embodiment, in order to improve the diversity of bullet screen selection, the bullet screen selection area may include a tab control of a first category and at least one tab control of a second category.

[0101] Among them, the tab control (Tab bar) is a very common interactive component in UI (user interface) design, which is used to display multiple different content modules or functional areas in a limited space. Users can switch to view different content by clicking different Tab bars without frequently jumping to other pages.

[0102] Correspondingly, in response to the triggering operation on the target control, displaying the bullet screen selection area includes: In response to a trigger operation on a target control, the tab control of the first category is selected, and the bullet screen selection area is displayed.

[0103] In this embodiment, after detecting a trigger operation on a target control, the tab control of the first category is automatically selected so that the content associated with the tab control of the first category can be displayed in the barrage selection area subsequently, that is, a preset animation is played in the barrage selection area.

[0104] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 7 , the method further comprises: Step S700, in response to a selection operation on any one of the second category tab controls, switching to display a list of candidate barrage content in the barrage selection area.

[0105] Step S702, in response to a barrage sending operation for any candidate barrage content in the candidate barrage content list, a barrage generated based on the any candidate barrage content is sent.

[0106] The candidate barrage content list includes multiple candidate barrage contents that can be selected by the user.

[0107] As an example, the candidate bullet comment content list is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, it displays multiple candidate barrage contents.

[0108] In this embodiment, the barrage sending operation of the candidate barrage content may also be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a sliding operation, etc. for the candidate barrage content. The barrage sending operation of the candidate barrage content may also be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a sliding operation, etc. triggered by a barrage sending control (button) displayed in the barrage selection area.

[0109] In this embodiment, after the user switches to the second category of tab controls, multiple candidate bullet-screen contents can be displayed for the user to actively select, and after the user selects, the bullet-screen generated based on the selected candidate bullet-screen content can be sent. In this way, more diverse candidate bullet-screen contents are provided for the user to send, thereby improving the user experience.
