Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of human-computer interaction technology, and relate to but are not limited to a method and device for updating prompts, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Currently, updates to friends' works are often notified to users in the form of red dots, bubbles, band-aids, etc. This type of update notification method lacks interest in both display style and operation, and the diversion method is single, which leads to users being insensitive to this type of update notification method and poor interaction between users and updated content. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a method and device, electronic device, and storage medium for update prompts, which combine bubble and capsule styles, and dynamically switch to prompt the current user's associated users that they have updated, thereby improving the fun of the update prompt method and enhancing user interaction with the updated content.

[0004] The present application embodiment provides an updated prompting method, the method comprising:

[0005] Displaying a bubble on a first display interface, where the first display interface plays first multimedia content, and the bubble is used to prompt an associated user of the current user that updated multimedia content exists;

[0006] When the switching condition is met, the bubble is switched to be displayed as a capsule, and the capsule is used to prompt the associated users of the current user that updated multimedia content exists.

[0007] In the above technical solution, when a related user such as a friend updates a multimedia work, the user is first prompted through a bubble, and then prompted through a capsule after the switching condition is met. In this way, the user can be dynamically prompted through a display method that combines bubble and capsule styles. This method is more interesting, and the dynamic display method can increase the user's sensitivity to the updated content, and can actively guide the user to interact with the updated content, thereby enhancing the interaction between the user and the updated content, and also increasing the user's participation and stickiness with the updated content, effectively improving the user experience.

[0008] In some embodiments, switching the bubble to be displayed as a capsule includes:

[0009] The bubble is switched to display the capsule in a collapsed state.

[0010] In the above technical solution, since the size of the collapsed capsule is smaller than that of the bubble, after switching the bubble to the collapsed capsule, the update prompt can reduce the obstruction of the multimedia content played in the interface, so as to ensure the user's immersive experience when watching multimedia content.

[0011] In some embodiments, the capsule in the collapsed state includes at least one of the following information:

[0012] at least one avatar, wherein the at least one avatar is an avatar of at least one associated user who has updated the multimedia content;

[0013] a position mark, the position mark being used to indicate a positional relationship of the capsule in the expanded state relative to the capsule in the collapsed state;

[0014] More flags, where the more flags are used to indicate that there is information of associated users that are not displayed in the capsule in the collapsed state, and the associated users that are not displayed are some of the associated users who have updated the multimedia content.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the user avatar, prompt information and location mark of the updated multimedia content are displayed in the collapsed capsule. This method of displaying update prompts using image information and simple interface identification elements can convey more and more valuable update prompt content to the user when the display space of the collapsed capsule is limited.

[0016] In some embodiments, after switching the bubble to display the capsule in a collapsed state, the method further includes:

[0017] In response to an expansion operation for the capsule in the collapsed state, the capsule in the collapsed state is switched to the capsule in the expanded state, and a size of the capsule in the expanded state is larger than a size of the capsule in the collapsed state.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the capsule can be switched from a collapsed state to an expanded state. The large-sized expanded capsule can display more content. For example, the expanded capsule can display more avatars of users who have updated multimedia content. Through the information displayed in the expanded capsule, users can easily learn more information related to the updated content. In addition, the change in the capsule shape improves the diversity of the display methods of the update prompt, which is more helpful to enhance the user's interest in the updated content.

[0019] In some embodiments, switching the capsule in the retracted state to the capsule in the expanded state comprises:

[0020] Displaying the capsule in the expanded state below or above the display position of the capsule in the collapsed state; or,

[0021] The capsule in the expanded state is expanded laterally along the display position of the capsule in the collapsed state.

[0022] In the above technical solution, in the process of switching the capsule from the collapsed state to the expanded state, the display position of the capsule in the interface changes, thereby improving the aesthetics and flexibility of the interface layout design; in addition, it increases the fun of the user when performing the expansion operation on the collapsed capsule, avoiding aesthetic fatigue of the user due to the way of updating the capsule style prompt.

[0023] In some embodiments, the capsule in the expanded state displays M avatars, the M avatars are avatars of associated users who have updated the multimedia content, M is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the method further includes:

[0024] In response to a selection operation on a target avatar, a preview screen of target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar is displayed, wherein the target avatar is one of the M avatars.

[0025] In the above technical solution, users are supported to directly preview the preview screen of the associated multimedia content by selecting an avatar in the current interface. Therefore, without switching the current interface, users can more efficiently and quickly filter out the content they are interested in through the preview screen for further viewing, which increases the certainty of subsequent operations; in addition, it increases the fun and convenience of users browsing updated content, and helps to improve users' participation and interaction with updated content.

[0026] In some embodiments, the display size of the target avatar on which the selection operation is performed is larger than the display size of other avatars among the M avatars except the target avatar.

[0027] In the above technical solution, the selected target avatar is enlarged and highlighted to make the target avatar more prominent visually. This display method can help users quickly identify whether the current selection operation is correct, thereby reducing the probability of errors in the selection operation.

[0028] In some embodiments, before responding to the selection operation of the target avatar, the method further includes:

[0029] Operation guidance information is displayed on the first display interface, where the operation guidance information is used to indicate an operation method of selecting any one avatar from a plurality of avatars displayed in the capsule in the expanded state.

[0030] In the above technical solution, clear operation guidance is provided to the user by displaying operation guidance information on the interface, which can guide the user on how to select an avatar from multiple avatars displayed in the capsule, thereby improving the usability of the interface.

[0031] In some embodiments, the operation guidance information is used to indicate the operation method of switching the selected avatar between different avatars.

[0032] In the above technical solution, operation guidance information indicating switching between different avatars is displayed on the interface to inform the user how to switch between different avatars displayed in the selection capsule. This prompt method is conducive to the user to quickly master the operation method of switching between different avatars and improve the user's operating experience.

[0033] In some embodiments, after displaying a preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar in response to the selection operation of the target avatar, the method further includes:

[0034] In response to an operation of sliding from the target avatar to the first avatar, a preview screen of multimedia content corresponding to the first avatar is displayed, where the first avatar is any one of the M avatars except the target avatar.

[0035] In the above technical solution, without switching the current interface, the updated content corresponding to different avatars can be quickly switched for preview through a simple sliding operation. This interactive method facilitates users to quickly filter out the updated content they are interested in from the updated content corresponding to multiple avatars, allowing users to find the content they are interested in more quickly for further browsing and interaction, saving users time in selecting updated content and providing users with a smoother browsing experience.

[0036] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0037] In response to a play operation on the target multimedia content, a second display interface is displayed, and the second display interface plays the target multimedia content.

[0038] In the above technical solution, the user performs a play operation on the target multimedia content, and the selected target multimedia content can be played on the interface, providing an immersive viewing experience for the user to view the selected target multimedia content.

[0039] In some embodiments, the selection operation is a touch operation on the target avatar, and the displaying of the second display interface in response to the play operation on the target multimedia content includes:

[0040] In response to a release operation on the target avatar, displaying the second display interface; or,

[0041] In response to a release operation after sliding the target avatar, the second display interface is displayed.

[0042] In the above technical solution, it supports playing the target multimedia content selected by the user through different operation methods (such as releasing or sliding and then releasing), enriching the interaction method between the user and the updated content; at the same time, these operation methods are simple and easy to operate, which simplifies the operation method from preview to viewing updated multimedia content for users, and shortens the operation process. Users can quickly switch to the new interface to play the target multimedia content through simple operations, providing users with a smoother browsing experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first display interface and the second display interface are interfaces under a first activity page, and the first activity page is used to play multimedia content in the category to which the first multimedia content belongs;

[0044] The first activity page is also used to play multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar.

[0045] In the above technical solution, the first display interface for playing the first multimedia content and the second display interface for playing the updated target multimedia content are interfaces under the same active page (such as the first active page), which means that the electronic device plays the updated target multimedia content without switching the active page, or in other words, the electronic device inserts the updated multimedia content of the target avatar selected by the user into the same active page (such as the first active page). This method of inserting updated content facilitates the user to view the original multimedia content under the active page and the multimedia content updated by the associated user subsequently inserted in the same active page, so that the user can smoothly switch from the inserted updated multimedia content to the original multimedia content under the active page in the same active page, so that the user can continue to watch the multimedia content in the active page later.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second display interface further displays update prompt information, where the update prompt information is used to prompt the insertion of multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar in the first activity page.

[0047] In the above technical solution, by displaying update prompt information to prompt the user of the updated multimedia content currently inserted, and reminding the user to pay attention to the inserted updated multimedia content, this prompting method enhances the fun of displaying the update prompt information and helps the user understand the relevant information of the inserted updated content; in addition, the update prompt information is used to prompt the insertion of the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar in the current active page (such as the first active page), which means that only the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar is inserted in the current active page. Generally speaking, the number of multimedia contents updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar is less than the number of multimedia contents updated by all associated users. In this way, when the user does not want to watch the inserted multimedia content, only a few switching operations need to be performed to switch out the inserted multimedia content in the current active page, avoiding the user's resistance when switching multimedia content. It can be seen that this solution can provide users with a more friendly interactive experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first display interface is an interface under a first activity page, and the second display interface is an internal stream page under the first activity page, and the internal stream page is used to play multimedia content updated by an associated user of the current user.

[0049] In the above technical solution, the second display interface is an inline page under the first active page, indicating that all multimedia contents updated by associated users are played separately through the inline page. This method of playing updated content separately through the inline page allows users to immersively watch the updated content on the new page, thereby improving the user's concentration on watching the updated content; and, the display of the updated multimedia content in the inline page and the display of the original multimedia content in the first active page do not affect each other, so that when the user stays on the inline page to watch the updated multimedia content, he will not be disturbed by the related content in the first active page.

[0050] In some embodiments, a first display position of the capsule on the first display interface is different from a second display position of the bubble on the first display interface.

[0051] In the above technical solution, since bubbles and capsules are displayed at different positions of the interface, when the bubbles are dynamically switched to capsules, the update prompts for the multimedia content are changed in the display position of the interface. This change can make it easier for users to perceive the update prompts, thereby increasing users' sensitivity and attention to the updated content, and actively guiding users to interact with the updated content.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first display position is located above the second display position.

[0053] In the above technical solution, since bubbles are a temporary interface element and capsules are a persistent interface element, in the process of bubbles dynamically switching to be displayed as capsules, the capsules that are located above the display position of the bubbles and that persist can further reduce the obstruction of the playback screen of the multimedia content being played in the interface by update prompts; in addition, the bubbles that are located below the display position of the capsules can provide update prompts to users more prominently, further increasing users' sensitivity and attention to updated content.

[0054] In some embodiments, the switching condition is that the display time of the bubble is greater than a preset time; or, the switching condition is an interactive operation on the first multimedia content.

[0055] In the above technical solution, after the display time of the bubble meets the preset time, the bubble switches to the capsule, and the bubble can be automatically switched to the capsule without user operation, and the operation method is convenient; or, it can support the user to interact with the multimedia content played in the interface and then switch the bubble to the capsule. This method of switching bubbles based on the user's interactive operation is suitable for the case where the user is not interested in the updated content, and the bubbles can be quickly switched to improve the user experience.

[0056] An update prompt device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0057] A first display module, configured to display bubbles on a first display interface, wherein the first display interface plays first multimedia content, and the bubbles are configured to prompt an associated user of the current user that updated multimedia content exists;

[0095] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical scheme of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0096] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0097] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0098] It should be pointed out that the terms "first\second\third" involved in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish similar or different objects, and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It can be understood that "first\second\third" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described here can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described here.

[0099] The following is an introduction to the scenarios and some concepts involved in the embodiments of the present application.

[0100] In order to more clearly introduce the update prompt method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the application scenarios applicable to the method are first introduced. Optionally, the method can be applied to electronic devices, including but not limited to: portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, wearable devices such as smart watches and smart bracelets, desktop devices such as desktop computers and televisions, and in-vehicle terminals and other devices, which are not limited here. For example, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the method can be applied to the process in which the user 110 uses the electronic device 120. It should be noted that: Figure 1 The illustration using a "mobile phone" as an example is merely an optional implementation and should not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0101] The update prompt method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can be specifically applied to the process of an electronic device running a social application to play multimedia content. Optionally, the social application can include various video applications, audio and video applications, shopping applications or social applications, etc., which are not limited here.

[0102] Multimedia content may include multiple types of content. For example, multimedia content includes: video-type works, picture-type works, audio-type works, works combining video and picture types, works combining audio and picture types, works combining video and audio types, works combining video, picture and audio types, etc. It should be noted that the types of multimedia content are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0103] When a user is watching multimedia content through a social application, if, for example, a friend's associated user updates the multimedia work, the social application can prompt the user through different prompting methods that a friend has updated the multimedia content. In the prior art, the update prompting methods for multimedia content often prompt the user in three diversion methods: red dots, bubbles, and band-aids. Several update prompting methods in the prior art are introduced below.

[0104] Method 1

[0105] Use a red dot to remind your friends that they have updated multimedia content. Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an interface for updating prompts in the prior art disclosed in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown in (a) of FIG. 3 , when a friend updates multimedia content, a red dot mark 31 may be displayed in the interface 30 to remind the friend that the multimedia content has been updated. Such a red dot mark will be displayed on the interface for a long time, which may cause fatigue and boredom to the user, and is not interesting, resulting in the user having no desire to click on it, or even not wanting to click on it to view it.

[0106] Method 2

[0107] Use bubble style to remind friends that multimedia content has been updated. Figure 2 As shown in (b) of FIG. 3 , after a friend updates multimedia content, a bubble 32 may be displayed in the interface 30 to prompt the friend that the multimedia content has been updated through the bubble 32. The problem with displaying update prompt information through a bubble is that the bubble will automatically disappear after being displayed for a certain period of time. When the bubble disappears, the user cannot directly browse the multimedia content updated by the friend in the current interface.

[0108] Method 3

[0109] Use a band-aid to remind friends that multimedia content has been updated. Figure 2 As shown in (c) in the figure, when a friend updates the multimedia content, a band-aid 33 can be displayed in the interface 30 to remind the friend that the multimedia content has been updated through the band-aid 33. The problem with this method of displaying update reminder information through a band-aid is that it will forcibly cover the content currently being played in the interface, which is not user-friendly and the interaction method with the user is not friendly enough.

[0110] It can be seen that the above-mentioned methods of reminding friends that multimedia content has been updated by means of red dots, bubbles, band-aids, etc. lack interest in terms of display style and operation, and the diversion method is single, which leads to users being insensitive to such update reminder methods, and users' interaction with updated content is poor. At the same time, with the diversification and personalization of user needs, the existing update reminder methods can no longer meet users' expectations. Users hope to obtain a more convenient, efficient and interesting interactive experience.

[0111] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a method and device, electronic device, and storage medium for update prompts. In the technical solution of the present application, bubbles are displayed on the display interface to prompt the current user's associated users that there are updated multimedia content. When the switching conditions are met, the bubbles are switched to capsules to prompt the current user's associated users that there are updated multimedia content through capsules. In this way, the display method that combines bubble and capsule styles can dynamically prompt users, which is more interesting, and the dynamic display method can increase the user's sensitivity to updated content, and can actively guide users to interact with updated content, thereby enhancing the interaction between users and updated content, and also increasing the user's participation and stickiness with updated content.

[0112] In order to make the purpose and technical solution of the present application clearer and more intuitive, a method for updating prompts disclosed in the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking a mobile phone as an example of an electronic device.

[0113] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 is a flow chart of a method for updating prompts disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 The method shown may include the following steps:

[0114] Step 310: The electronic device displays a bubble on a first display interface. The first display interface plays a first multimedia content. The bubble is used to prompt an associated user of the current user that there is updated multimedia content.

[0115] The display interface in the embodiment of the present application, which may also be referred to as a user interface (UI), is a medium interface for interaction and information exchange between an application or operating system and a user, and it implements conversion between the internal form of information and a form acceptable to the user.

[0116] In this step, the current user uses his own user account (recorded as the first user account) to log in to the social application installed on the electronic device and views the multimedia content in the social application, wherein the first display interface of the social application of the electronic device plays the first multimedia content.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, the associated user is the user corresponding to the second user account that the first user account of the current user follows mutually, or the associated user is the user corresponding to the second user account that the first user account of the current user follows unilaterally. It should be understood that mutual following often means that the social relationship between the current user and the associated user is "friend", and the social relationship between the current user and the second user account that the current user follows unilaterally is "user that the current user follows / is interested in".

[0118] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the types of associated users. As long as the friends who follow each other with the current user, or the users that the current user follows / is interested in, update the multimedia content, the first display interface will prompt the update in the form of bubbles.

[0119] In an embodiment of the present application, when the first display interface of the electronic device is playing the first multimedia content, if the associated user of the current user updates the multimedia content, the first display interface will display a bubble to prompt the associated user of the current user through the bubble that there is updated multimedia content.

[0120] It should be noted that a bubble refers to an interface element used to display prompt information in a display interface. The prompt information may include update prompt information, and the update prompt information is used to indicate that there is updated multimedia content for the associated user of the current user. For example, for text-type update prompt information, the corresponding text can be displayed in the bubble; for picture-type update prompt information, the corresponding picture can be displayed in the bubble. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the display shape, display style, etc. of the bubble are not limited.

[0121] In some embodiments, the bubble includes at least one of the following information:

[0122] at least one avatar, wherein the at least one avatar is an avatar of at least one associated user who has updated the multimedia content;

[0123] Prompt information, where the prompt information is used to prompt the number of associated users who have updated the multimedia content.

[0124] Optionally, at least one avatar displayed in the bubble is at least part of the avatars of the associated users who updated the multimedia content. Among them, at least part of the avatars include all or part of the avatars of the associated users who updated the multimedia content. It can be understood that due to the limited size of the bubble, a preset number of avatars can be displayed in the bubble: if the number of associated users who updated the multimedia content is greater than the preset number, only the preset number of avatars are displayed in the bubble; if the number of associated users who updated the multimedia content is less than or equal to the preset number, the actual number of avatars of the associated users who updated the multimedia content can be displayed in the bubble. For example, the preset number of avatars displayed in the bubble is 2, if only one associated user updates the multimedia content, one avatar is displayed in the bubble; if only 2 associated users update the multimedia content, 2 avatars are displayed in the bubble; if 10 associated users update the multimedia content, only 2 avatars are displayed in the bubble.

[0125] As an example, see FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C The following is a schematic diagram of the interface of three update prompt methods disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 4A (a) Figure 4B (a) and Figure 4C In the first display interface 40 shown in (a), a bubble 41 is displayed. The bubble 41 displays a preset number of avatars (such as 2 avatars) and a text prompt message "10 friends updated the work", so that the current user can also know how many related users have updated the multimedia content, helping the current user to know more update prompt information.

[0126] It should be noted that the size of the bubble is related to the update prompt information contained in the bubble. Taking text-type update prompt information as an example, when the number of words contained in the text is more, the size of the bubble is usually larger; conversely, when the number of words contained in the text is fewer, the size of the bubble is usually smaller. Taking picture-type update prompt information as an example, when the number of pictures contained in the picture is more, the size of the bubble is usually larger; conversely, when the number of pictures contained in the picture is fewer, the size of the bubble is usually smaller. Therefore, the size of the bubble displayed in the first display interface can be pre-set or changed according to the content of the update prompt information.

[0127] In some implementations, the first display interface is an interface under the first active page, that is, bubbles are displayed and the first multimedia content is played in the first display interface under the first active page.

[0128] Exemplarily, the first display interface displays at least one tag, and different tags can display the content of different activity pages after being triggered. For example, the at least one tag includes: "Home" tag, "Featured" tag, "Message" tag, and "Me" tag. Taking the Home tag and the Featured tag as examples, the Home tag can display the activity page under the Home tag after being triggered, and the Featured tag can display the activity page under the Featured tag after being triggered.

[0129] It should be noted that the at least one tag mentioned above includes but is not limited to the "Home" tag, "Featured" tag, "Message" tag and "Me" tag in the above examples. Other types of tags may also be displayed in the first display interface. The number and type of tags in the above examples should not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0130] Optionally, the first activity page is an activity page under a selected tag. It should be understood that the first activity page is an activity page after the selected tag is triggered.

[0131] For example, see Figure 4A , Figure 4A Schematic diagram of an interface of an update prompt method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4A The first display interface 40 shown in (a) in FIG. 1 shows multiple tags (for example, a "Home" tag, a "Featured" tag, a "Message" tag, and a "Me" tag, etc.). When different tags are triggered, the content under different activity pages can be displayed. Among them, when the "Featured" tag is triggered, the activity page under the Featured tag (referred to as the Featured Activity Page) is displayed, and the "Featured" tag is displayed in bold. The Featured Activity Page is used to play the multimedia content under the Featured tag. Figure 4A In the embodiment, the first display interface 40 of the selected activity page plays the first multimedia content under the selected tag.

[0132] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the position of at least one label included in the first display interface in the first interface. Figure 4A The “Home” tag, “Featured” tag, “Message” tag, and “Me” tag shown in (a) can be set in the bottom area of ​​the first display interface 40 .

[0133] Step 320: When the switching condition is met, the electronic device switches the bubble display to a capsule, and prompts the associated users of the current user through the capsule that there is updated multimedia content.

[0134] A capsule refers to another style of interface element in a display interface for displaying prompt information. A capsule can display update prompt information, and the update prompt information is used to indicate that there is updated multimedia content for the associated users of the current user.

[0135] Since the first display interface is displaying the bubble while also playing the first multimedia content, and the bubble contains at least one avatar and prompt information, in order to increase the user's attention to the update prompt information without affecting the user's experience of watching the first multimedia content, the electronic device can switch the bubble to a capsule when the switching condition is met, and prompt the current user's associated user through the capsule that there is updated multimedia content.

[0136] It can be understood that the dynamic switching display mode of switching the bubbles to capsules can not only increase the user's attention to the update prompt information, but also improve the display of the update prompt information on the first display interface when the associated user of the current user updates the multimedia content.

[0137] In addition, since bubbles are a temporary interface element and capsules are a persistent interface element, switching bubbles to capsules can increase users' sensitivity to updated content and enhance the interaction between users and updated content, thereby improving user experience while continuously reminding the current user's associated users that there is updated multimedia content.

[0138] Regarding the above switching condition, in some implementations, the switching condition is that the display time of the bubble is greater than a preset time.

[0139] That is, when the display time of the bubble is longer than the preset time, the electronic device switches the bubble to a capsule. It should be understood that the bubble switching to a capsule described in this embodiment means that the bubble will automatically switch to a capsule after being displayed on the first display interface for a preset time.

[0140] The preset duration can be any set duration, and this application does not limit this. As an example, assuming that the preset duration is 3 seconds, see Figure 4AAfter the bubble 41 is displayed on the first display interface 40 for 3 seconds, the bubble 41 will automatically switch to the capsule 42.

[0141] Regarding the above switching condition, in other implementations, the switching condition is an interactive operation on the first multimedia content.

[0142] That is, when an interactive operation is performed on the first multimedia content, the electronic device switches the bubbles to capsules. It should be understood that the bubbles described in this embodiment are switched to capsules, which means that in response to the interactive operation on the first multimedia content, the electronic device automatically switches the bubbles to capsules.

[0143] Exemplarily, the interactive operation may include any one of a like operation, a comment operation, a favorite operation, a share operation, a pause operation, and a play switching operation on the first multimedia content.

[0144] See also Figure 4A The first display interface 40 shown in (a) displays multiple interactive controls, such as a "Like" control, a "Comment" control, a "Favorite" control, and a "Share" control. Different interactive operations are performed on the multimedia content based on different interactive controls. For example, a user clicks the "Like" control to like the multimedia content.

[0145] As an example, see Figure 4A When the user clicks the "Like" control, it means that the user is interested in the first multimedia content played on the first display interface 40, and the bubble 41 will automatically switch to the capsule 42 to prevent the bubble from blocking the playback screen of the first multimedia content.

[0146] It should be noted that the interactive controls of the first display interface include but are not limited to Figure 4A In the example of the “Like” control, “Comment” control, “Favorite” control, “Share” control, etc., other types of controls may also be displayed in the first display interface. Figure 4A The number and types of controls shown should not limit the embodiments of the present application.

[0147] It can be seen that by adopting this implementation mode, the bubble switches to the capsule after the display time of the bubble meets the preset time, and the bubble can be automatically switched to the capsule without user operation, and the operation method is convenient; or, it can support the user to interact with the multimedia content played in the interface and then switch the bubble to the capsule. This method of switching bubbles based on the user's interactive operation is suitable for the case where the user is not interested in the updated content, and the bubbles can be quickly switched to improve the user experience.

[0148] In some embodiments, a first display position of the capsule on the first display interface is different from a second display position of the bubble on the first display interface.

[0149] Optionally, the capsule is located at the top of the first display interface. This display position can reduce the occlusion of the capsule on the playback screen of the first multimedia content played on the first display interface.

[0150] Optionally, the capsule is located in the middle area of ​​the top of the first display interface.

[0151] Optionally, the top of the first display interface also includes a query control and a navigation control, and the capsule is located between the query control and the navigation control.

[0152] As an example, see Figure 4A ,like Figure 4A In the first display interface 40 shown in (b), the top of the first display interface 40 includes a capsule 42, a navigation control 43 and a query control 44, wherein the capsule 42 is located between the navigation control 43 and the query control 44, and the capsule 42 is located in the middle area of ​​the top of the first display interface 40.

[0153] It can be seen that in this implementation, since bubbles and capsules are displayed at different positions on the interface, when the bubbles dynamically switch to capsules, the update prompts for the multimedia content change in the display position on the interface. This change can make it easier for users to perceive the update prompts, thereby increasing users' sensitivity and attention to updated content, and actively guiding users to interact with updated content.

[0154] In some embodiments, the first display position is located above the second display position. Since bubbles are temporary interface elements and capsules are persistent interface elements, during the process of bubbles dynamically switching to capsules, the capsules that are located above the display position of the bubbles and are persistent can further reduce the occlusion of the update prompt on the playback screen of the multimedia content being played in the interface; in addition, the bubbles located below the display position of the capsules can provide users with update prompts more prominently, further increasing the user's sensitivity and attention to the updated content.

[0155] As an example, see Figure 4A ,like Figure 4A After the bubble 41 shown is switched to be displayed as a capsule 42 , the capsule 42 is always located above the bubble 41 at the second display position of the first display interface 40 at the first display position of the first display interface 40 .

[0156] It can be seen that, by implementing the embodiments of the present application, when a related user such as a friend updates a multimedia work, the user is first prompted through a bubble, and then prompted through a capsule after the switching condition is met. In this way, the user can be dynamically prompted through a display method that combines bubble and capsule styles. This method is more interesting, and the dynamic display method can increase the user's sensitivity to the updated content, and can actively guide the user to interact with the updated content, thereby enhancing the interaction between the user and the updated content, and also increasing the user's participation and stickiness with the updated content, effectively improving the user experience.

[0157] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another update prompt method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The method shown may include the following steps:

[0158] Step 510: The electronic device displays a bubble on a first display interface, where the first display interface plays first multimedia content. The bubble is used to prompt an associated user of the current user that updated multimedia content exists.

[0159] Step 520: When the switching condition is met, the electronic device switches the bubble to a capsule, and prompts the associated users of the current user that updated multimedia content exists through the capsule.

[0160] In the embodiment of the present application, the capsule may be a capsule of fixed shape or a capsule of variable shape.

[0161] In the embodiment where the capsule's shape can be changed, the capsule has two shapes: a folded state and an expanded state, wherein the size of the folded capsule is smaller than that of the expanded capsule. It can be understood that a small-sized folded capsule can display less content, and a large-sized expanded capsule can display more content, and capsules in different states can be displayed based on different situations.

[0162] As an example, see Figure 4A ,like Figure 4A The first display interface 40 shown in (b) shows a capsule 42 in a retracted state, and the size of the capsule 42 in the retracted state is smaller than the size of the bubble 41 .

[0163] As an example, see Fig. 6A ,like Fig. 6A The first display interface 40 shown in (b) shows a capsule 43 in an expanded state.

[0164] Based on the above two forms of capsules, in the above step of switching the bubble to display as a capsule, the electronic device switches the bubble to display as a capsule in a retracted state, wherein the size of the capsule in the retracted state is smaller than the size of the bubble.

[0165] That is, when the first display interface prompts the current user's associated user to update the multimedia content through a capsule, the bubble can be switched to a collapsed capsule in consideration of the user's experience of viewing the first multimedia content. Since the size of the collapsed capsule is smaller than that of the bubble, after switching the bubble to the collapsed capsule, the update prompt can reduce the occlusion of the multimedia content played in the interface, so as to ensure the user's immersive experience when viewing the multimedia content.

[0166] Regarding the capsule in the collapsed state, in some implementations, the capsule in the collapsed state includes at least one avatar, and the at least one avatar is an avatar of at least one associated user who has updated the multimedia content.

[0167] Optionally, at least one avatar displayed in the collapsed capsule is at least part of the avatars of the associated users who updated the multimedia content. For example, if only one associated user updated the multimedia content, one avatar is displayed in the collapsed capsule; if 10 associated users updated the multimedia content, considering the limited size of the collapsed capsule, the number of at least one avatar displayed in the collapsed capsule can be set to a preset number (such as the preset number is set to 3), and only 3 avatars are displayed in the collapsed capsule.

[0168] As an example, see Figure 4A The capsule 42 in the collapsed state shown in (b) includes three avatars 421, and the three avatars 421 are stacked.

[0169] Regarding the above-mentioned capsule in the collapsed state, in other embodiments, the capsule in the collapsed state includes more indicators. The more indicators are used to indicate that there is information of associated users that are not displayed in the capsule in the collapsed state, and the associated users that are not displayed are some of the associated users who have updated the multimedia content. The more indicators can be understood as a red dot indicator or more indicators, and the more indicators are used to indicate that the number of associated users who have updated the multimedia content is greater than the number of avatars displayed in the capsule in the collapsed state.

[0170] As an example, see Figure 4A The capsule 42 in the collapsed state shown in (b) of FIG. 4 includes more marks 423. For example, see Figure 4A ,like Figure 4A The bubble 41 shown in (a) in the figure displays the text message "10 friends updated the work". When the bubble 41 switches to display a collapsed capsule 42, since no text information is displayed in the capsule, more identifiers 423 can be used to indicate that the number of avatars displayed in the collapsed capsule 42 is less than the number of associated users who have updated the multimedia content, so that the current user can learn more information that is not directly displayed even through the collapsed capsule 42.

[0171] Regarding the capsule in the collapsed state, in other embodiments, the capsule in the collapsed state includes a position mark, and the position mark is used to indicate the position relationship of the capsule in the expanded state relative to the capsule in the collapsed state.

[0172] In one example, the position identifier is a vertical identifier. When the position identifier is a vertical identifier, the position relationship between the expanded capsule and the collapsed capsule is that the display position of the expanded capsule in the first display interface is below or above the display position of the collapsed capsule in the first display interface.

[0173] As an example, see Figure 4A and Fig. 6A .in, Figure 4A The capsule 42 in the retracted state shown in (b) includes a position mark 422, wherein the position mark 422 is a longitudinal mark and indicates a direction of "downward". Fig. 6A The capsule 43 in the expanded state is shown at a display position on the first display interface 40 “below” the display position on the first display interface 40 of the capsule 42 in the collapsed state.

[0174] As another example, see Figure 6C ,like Figure 6C The capsule 43 in the expanded state is shown at a display position on the first display interface 40 “above” the capsule 42 in the collapsed state.

[0175] In another example, the position identifier is a horizontal identifier. When the position identifier is a horizontal identifier, the position relationship between the expanded capsule and the collapsed capsule is that the display position of the expanded capsule in the first display interface and the display position of the collapsed capsule in the first display interface are located at the top of the first display interface.

[0176] As an example, see Figure 4B and Fig.6D ,like Figure 4B The capsule 42 in the retracted state shown in (b) of FIG. 4 includes a position mark 424, wherein the position mark 424 is a horizontal mark and the direction indicated is "rightward". Fig.6D The capsule 43 in the expanded state and the capsule 42 in the collapsed state are both displayed at the top of the first display interface 40 on the first display interface 40 .

[0177] It can be seen that this implementation displays the user avatar, prompt information and location identifier of the updated multimedia content in the collapsed capsule. This method of displaying update prompts using image information and simple interface identification elements can convey more and more valuable update prompt content to the user when the display space of the collapsed capsule is limited.

[0178] For other implementations of steps 510 and 520 , reference may be made to the contents of the aforementioned steps 310 and 320 , which will not be described in detail here.

[0179] Step 530: In response to an expansion operation on the capsule in the retracted state, the electronic device switches the capsule in the retracted state to a capsule in the expanded state, and the size of the capsule in the expanded state is larger than the size of the capsule in the retracted state.

[0180] In the embodiment of the present application, when the bubble on the first display interface switches to a capsule in a collapsed state, the information displayed in the capsule in the collapsed state is small and it is inconvenient to perform operations on the first display interface. FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D The avatars of the associated users displayed in the collapsed capsule 42 are stacked, which is not convenient for selecting an avatar of an associated user. Therefore, the collapsed capsule can be switched to an expanded capsule by performing an expansion operation on the collapsed capsule.

[0181] In the embodiment of the present application, the expansion operation for the capsule in the retracted state can be arbitrary. The present application does not limit the specific manner of the expansion operation for the capsule in the retracted state.

[0182] In some embodiments, the expansion operation for the collapsed capsule may be a click operation for the collapsed capsule. As an example, the user may click Fig. 6A At any position of the capsule 42 in the retracted state shown, in response to the user's operation on the capsule 42 in the retracted state, the electronic device can switch the capsule in the retracted state to a capsule in the expanded state.

[0183] In other embodiments, the expansion operation for the capsule in the collapsed state may be a sliding operation for the capsule in the collapsed state. As another example, the user may press and hold Fig. 6A After moving the capsule 42 in the retracted state to any position, the electronic device can slide in any direction (eg, left, down, etc.) in response to the user's operation on the capsule 42 in the retracted state, and switch the capsule in the retracted state to a capsule in the expanded state.

[0184] In the embodiment of the present application, after the capsule in the collapsed state is switched to the capsule in the expanded state, the display positions of the capsule in the collapsed state and the capsule in the expanded state may be arbitrary.

[0185] In some embodiments, switching the capsule in the collapsed state to the capsule in the expanded state is to display the capsule in the expanded state below the display position of the capsule in the collapsed state.

[0186] Hereinafter, a display diagram for displaying a capsule in an expanded state below a display position of a capsule in a collapsed state in response to an expansion operation on the capsule in the collapsed state will be exemplarily described.

[0187] As an example, see Fig. 6A , when the user follows Fig. 6A After clicking (x1 represents a single click) the capsule 42 in the retracted state by the operation gesture shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device switches the capsule 42 in the retracted state to be displayed as shown in FIG. Fig. 6A The expanded capsule 43 shown in (b) of FIG. Fig. 6A As shown in (a) and (b), the display position of the expanded capsule 43 on the first display interface 40 is located "below" the display position of the collapsed capsule 42 on the first display interface 40, and the display direction of the expanded capsule 43 on the first display interface 40 is "horizontally displayed", and the avatars in the expanded capsule 43 are displayed in sequence from left to right.

[0188] As another example, see Figure 6B , when the user follows Figure 6B After clicking (x1 represents a single click) the capsule 42 in the retracted state by the operation gesture shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device switches the capsule 42 in the retracted state to be displayed as shown in FIG. Figure 6B The expanded capsule 43 shown in (b) of FIG. Figure 6B As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 1 , the display position of the expanded capsule 43 on the first display interface 40 is located “below” the display position of the collapsed capsule 42 on the first display interface 40, and the display direction of the expanded capsule 43 on the first display interface 40 is “vertical display” (different from Fig. 6A The avatars in the expanded capsule 43 are displayed in order from top to bottom (shown in the display direction shown in (b)).

[0189] In other embodiments, switching the capsule in the retracted state to the capsule in the expanded state is to display the capsule in the expanded state above the display position of the capsule in the retracted state.

[0190] Hereinafter, an exemplary description will be given of a display diagram in which, in response to an expansion operation on a capsule in a collapsed state, a capsule in an expanded state is displayed above a display position of a capsule in a collapsed state.

[0191] As an example, see Figure 6C , when the user follows Figure 6CAfter clicking (x1 represents a single click) the capsule 42 in the retracted state by the operation gesture shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device switches the capsule 42 in the retracted state to be displayed as shown in FIG. Figure 6C The expanded capsule 43 shown in (b) of FIG. Figure 6C As shown in (a) and (b) in FIG. 1 , the display position of the expanded capsule 43 on the first display interface 40 is located “above” the display position of the collapsed capsule 42 on the first display interface 40, and the display position of the expanded capsule 43 on the first display interface 40 is located above the display position of the collapsed control 44 on the first display interface 40 (different from Fig. 6A (b) and Figure 6B 1 and 2 ). The positional relationship between the expanded capsule 43 and the collapsed control 44 shown in (b) in FIG. 1 ).

[0192] It should be noted that if Fig. 6A (b) Figure 6B (b) and Figure 6C The first display interface 40 shown in (b) also displays a retracting control 44 . When the retracting control 44 is triggered, the capsule 43 in the expanded state can be switched to the capsule 42 in the retracted state.

[0193] In other embodiments, switching the capsule in the retracted state to the capsule in the expanded state is to expand the capsule in the expanded state laterally along the display position of the capsule in the retracted state.

[0194] Optionally, the expanding capsule in the expanded state is expanded laterally along the display position of the folded capsule, comprising: expanding the expanding capsule by extending along the lateral center line of the display position of the folded capsule.

[0195] Hereinafter, an exemplary description will be given of a display diagram in which, in response to an expansion operation on a capsule in a collapsed state, the capsule in the expanded state is expanded laterally along the display position of the capsule in the collapsed state.

[0196] As an example, see Fig.6D , when the user follows Fig.6D After clicking (x1 represents a single click) the capsule 42 in the retracted state by the operation gesture shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device switches the capsule 42 in the retracted state to be displayed as shown in FIG. Fig.6D The expanded capsule 43 shown in (b) of FIG. Fig.6D As shown in (a) to (b) in FIG. 1 , the direction in which the capsule 43 in the expanded state is expanded is “laterally expanded” along the display position of the capsule 42 in the collapsed state.

[0197] It can be seen that based on the above-mentioned implementation methods of the display positions of the collapsed capsule and the expanded capsule after switching the collapsed capsule to the expanded capsule, the display position of the capsule in the interface changes during the process of switching the capsule from the collapsed state to the expanded state, thereby improving the aesthetics and flexibility of the interface layout design; in addition, it increases the fun of the user when performing the expansion operation on the collapsed capsule, avoiding aesthetic fatigue of the user due to the way of prompting the update of the capsule style.

[0198] The contents of the expanded capsule are described in detail below.

[0199] In some implementations, the expanded capsule includes at least one avatar, and the at least one avatar is an avatar of at least one associated user who has updated the multimedia content.

[0200] Optionally, at least one avatar displayed in the expanded capsule is at least part of the avatars of the associated users who updated the multimedia content. For example, if only 5 associated users updated the multimedia content, 5 avatars are displayed in the collapsed capsule; if 10 associated users updated the multimedia content, considering the limited size of the expanded capsule, the number of at least one avatar displayed in the expanded capsule can be set to a preset number (such as the preset number is set to 8), and only 8 avatars are displayed in the expanded capsule.

[0201] In the embodiment of the present application, the size of the capsule in the unfolded state is larger than the size of the capsule in the collapsed state. Fig. 6A , wherein the size of the capsule 43 in the expanded state is larger than the size of the capsule 42 in the collapsed state.

[0202] Optionally, the size of the avatar in the expanded capsule is larger than the size of the avatar in the collapsed capsule. Fig. 6A , wherein the size of the avatar in the expanded capsule 43 is larger than the size of the avatar in the collapsed capsule 42. This display method is conducive to selecting one of the avatars, and is also conducive to the user to clearly understand which associated users have updated the multimedia content by enlarging the displayed avatars.

[0203] In some embodiments, the display order of the avatars in the expanded capsule is arranged according to the interaction intimacy with the current user, or arranged according to the time when the multimedia content corresponding to the associated user of each avatar is updated.

[0204] As an example, the expanded capsule displays 6 avatars of associated users who have updated multimedia content. According to experience, users are usually interested in multimedia content of associated users with more frequent interactions. Therefore, the electronic device can display the avatars in order from high to low in terms of interaction intimacy along the arrangement direction of the avatars displayed in the expanded capsule.

[0205] As another example, different associated users update multimedia content at different times. In order to allow the user to browse the multimedia content updated by the associated users as soon as possible, the electronic device can display the multimedia content updated by the associated users in order from near to far along the arrangement direction of the avatars displayed in the expanded capsule. For example, the avatar of the associated user corresponding to the multimedia content with the most recent update time can be displayed first.

[0206] It should be noted that, since the types of associated users include users who follow each other and users who are unilaterally followed by the current user, the display order of the avatars in the expanded capsule can also be arranged according to the types of attention of the associated users. Therefore, the avatars can be displayed in the expanded capsule according to any display logic, and this application does not limit the display order of the avatars in the expanded capsule.

[0207] It can be seen that, by implementing the embodiment of the present application, when a user related to, for example, a friend updates a multimedia work, the user is first prompted through a bubble, and then prompted through a capsule after the switching condition is met. In this way, the user can be dynamically prompted through a display method combining bubble and capsule styles. This method is more interesting, and the dynamic display method can increase the user's sensitivity to the updated content, and can actively guide the user to interact with the updated content, thereby enhancing the interaction between the user and the updated content, and also increasing the user's participation and stickiness with the updated content, effectively improving the user experience. The capsule can be switched from a collapsed state to an expanded state, and a large-sized expanded capsule can display more content, such as more avatars of users who have updated multimedia content can be displayed in the expanded capsule. Through the information displayed in the expanded capsule, it is convenient for users to learn more about the updated content. Information; in addition, the change in the capsule form increases the diversity of the display method of the update prompt, which is more helpful to increase the user's interest in the updated content.

[0208] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another update prompt method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 The method shown may include the following steps:

[0209] Step 710: The electronic device displays a bubble on a first display interface, where the first display interface plays first multimedia content. The bubble is used to prompt an associated user of the current user that updated multimedia content exists.

[0210] Step 720: When the switching condition is met, the electronic device switches the bubble display to a capsule, and prompts the associated users of the current user that updated multimedia content exists through the capsule.

[0211] The implementation of steps 710 and 720 may refer to the contents of the aforementioned steps 310, 320 and 520, which will not be repeated here.

[0212] Step 730: In response to an expansion operation on the capsule in the retracted state, the electronic device switches the capsule in the retracted state to a capsule in the expanded state, and the size of the capsule in the expanded state is larger than the size of the capsule in the retracted state.

[0213] The implementation of step 730 may refer to the contents of the aforementioned step 530 and will not be repeated here.

[0214] Step 740: The expanded capsule displays M avatars. In response to a selection operation on a target avatar, the electronic device displays a preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar. The target avatar is one of the M avatars.

[0215] In the embodiment of the present application, when the collapsed capsule displayed in the first display interface is switched to the expanded capsule, M avatars are displayed in the expanded capsule. The M avatars are avatars of the associated users who updated the multimedia content. M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0216] Optionally, M is a preset value of the number of avatars that can be displayed in the expanded capsule, or M is a maximum value of the number of avatars that can be displayed in the expanded capsule.

[0217] It should be understood that the preset value is the number of avatars that can be displayed in advance. When the number of associated users who have updated the multimedia content is greater than the preset value, the number of avatars that can be displayed in the expanded capsule is fixed. The maximum value is the number of avatars that can be displayed dynamically according to the size of the expanded capsule. When the size of the expanded capsule in the first display interface can only display 3, even if the number of associated users who have updated the multimedia content is greater than 3, only 3 avatars are still displayed.

[0218] As an example, when M is the preset value of the number of avatars that can be displayed in the expanded capsule, see Fig. 6A If the preset value M of the number of avatars that can be displayed in the expanded capsule 43 is 8, then when there are 10 associated users who have updated the multimedia content, the number of avatars of the associated users who have updated the multimedia content displayed in the expanded capsule 43 is 8.

[0219] As another example, when M is the maximum number of avatars that can be displayed in the expanded capsule, see Figure 6C Among them, considering Figure 6C and Fig.6D The size of the expanded capsule 43 is relatively large. Fig. 6A and Figure 6B If the size of the capsule 43 is small, and the maximum value M of the number of avatars that can be displayed in the expanded capsule 43 is 7, then when there are 10 associated users who have updated the multimedia content, the number of avatars of the associated users who have updated the multimedia content displayed in the expanded capsule 43 is 7.

[0220] In the embodiment of the present application, any avatar can be selected as the target avatar from the M avatars displayed in the expanded capsule, so that the electronic device displays a preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar in the first display interface. This method can help the user to select the multimedia content to watch by watching the preview screen of each multimedia content updated by the associated user in advance, and help the user to determine whether to watch the multimedia content updated by the associated user.

[0221] Optionally, the preview screen of the target multimedia content is the cover of the target multimedia content, or the dynamic content of the target multimedia content. It should be noted that the dynamic content of the target multimedia content can be the complete multimedia content or the highlights extracted from the target multimedia content. This application does not limit the dynamic content of the target multimedia content.

[0222] Optionally, when the number of multimedia contents updated by the associated users corresponding to the target avatar is not 1, the target multimedia contents are the multimedia contents updated most recently among the multimedia contents updated by the associated users corresponding to the target avatar, or the target multimedia contents are the multimedia contents updated the longest among the multimedia contents updated by the associated users corresponding to the target avatar, or the target multimedia contents are the collection of multimedia contents updated by the associated users corresponding to the target avatar.

[0223] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device displays the preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar by displaying the preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar at a preset position adjacent to the target avatar.

[0224] The preset position in the preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar displayed at the preset position adjacent to the target avatar includes the following situations:

[0225] In some embodiments, the preset position may be above or below the target avatar. Exemplarily, when the display position of the expanded capsule on the first display interface is located at the top of the first display interface, the preview screen of the target multimedia content is displayed below the target avatar; when the display position of the expanded capsule on the first display interface is located at the bottom of the first display interface, the preview screen of the target multimedia content is displayed above the target avatar.

[0226] Below, an exemplary description is given of a display diagram of displaying a preview screen of target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar below the target avatar in response to a selection operation on the target avatar.

[0227] As an example, in the case where the unfolding direction of the unfolded capsule 43 is "horizontally unfolded" along the display position of the collapsed capsule 42, see Fig. 8A , Fig. 8A is a schematic diagram of an interface for displaying a preview screen of target multimedia content disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 8A The expanded capsule 43 in the first interface 40 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 shows 7 avatars, including the target avatar 431. When the user clicks Fig. 8A When the target avatar 431 is pressed by the operation gesture shown in (a) (indicating that the target avatar 431 is selected), the electronic device displays a preview screen 4311 of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar 431 in the first interface 40 (see Fig. 8A (b) in the above). Among them, Fig. 8A As shown in (b) of FIG. 4 , the preview screen 4311 of the target multimedia content is displayed at a position “below” the target avatar 431 on the first interface 40 .

[0228] As another example, unlike Fig. 8A The display position of the expanded capsule 43 in the first interface 40 shown (when the display position of the expanded capsule 43 in the first display interface 40 is "below" the display position of the collapsed capsule 42 in the first display interface 40, and the display direction of the expanded capsule 43 in the first display interface 40 is "horizontally displayed"), please refer to Figure 8B , Figure 8B 1 is another interface schematic diagram of displaying a preview screen of target multimedia content disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8B The expanded capsule 43 in the first interface 40 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 shows 8 avatars, including the target avatar 431. When the user clicks Figure 8B When the target avatar 431 is pressed by the operation gesture shown in (a) (indicating that the target avatar 431 is selected), the electronic device displays a preview screen 4311 of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar 431 in the first interface 40 (see Figure 8B (b) in the above). Among them, Figure 8B As shown in (b) of FIG. 4 , the preview screen 4311 of the target multimedia content is displayed at a position “below” the target avatar 431 on the first interface 40 .

[0229] It should be noted that, from the above two examples, no matter what the positional relationship of the expanded capsule relative to the collapsed capsule is, a target avatar can be selected in the collapsed capsule so that a preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar is displayed in the first display interface.

[0230] It should also be noted that the display diagram of the preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar above the target avatar can refer to the display forms of the above two examples, and this application will not elaborate on them here.

[0231] In some embodiments, the preset position may be on the left or right side of the target avatar. Exemplarily, when the display position of the expanded capsule on the first display interface is on the left side of the first display interface, the preview screen of the target multimedia content is displayed on the right side of the target avatar; when the display position of the expanded capsule on the first display interface is on the right side of the first display interface, the preview screen of the target multimedia content is displayed on the left side of the target avatar.

[0232] As an example, unlike Fig. 8A The display direction of the expanded capsule 43 in the first interface 40 (when the display direction of the expanded capsule 43 in the first display interface 40 is "vertical display"), please refer to Figure 8C , Figure 8C is another interface schematic diagram of displaying a preview screen of target multimedia content disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8C The expanded capsule 43 in the first interface 40 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 shows 8 avatars, including the target avatar 431. When the user clicks Figure 8C When the target avatar 431 is pressed by the operation gesture shown in (a) (indicating that the target avatar 431 is selected), the electronic device displays a preview screen 4311 of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar 431 in the first interface 40 (see Figure 8B (b) in the above). Among them, Figure 8C As shown in (b) , the preview screen 4311 of the target multimedia content is located at the “right side” of the target avatar 431 on the first interface 40 .

[0233] It should be noted that, from the above example, when the expanded capsule is located on the left side of the first display interface, the display position of the preview screen of the target multimedia content is adjacent to the target avatar. It can be seen that the preview screen of the target multimedia content displayed in the first display interface changes dynamically according to the display position of the expanded capsule in the first display interface.

[0234] It should also be noted that the display diagram of the preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar on the left side of the target avatar can refer to the display form of the above example, and this application will not elaborate on it here.

[0235] It can be seen that in the above implementation of displaying the preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar at the preset position of the adjacent target avatar, the preset position can be below or below the target avatar, and the preset position can also be to the left or right of the target avatar. The present application does not limit the display position of the preview screen of the target multimedia content. This display method can determine the display position of the preview screen of the target multimedia content on the first display interface according to the display position of the expanded capsule on the first display interface, which is conducive to improving the aesthetics and flexibility of the display of the preview screen of the target multimedia content in the first display interface.

[0236] In the embodiment of the present application, the display mode of the target avatar on which the selection operation is performed is different from the display mode of other avatars among the M avatars except the target avatar.

[0237] Optionally, the display mode of the target avatar on which the selection operation is performed is different from the display mode of other avatars except the target avatar among the M avatars, including: the display size of the target avatar on which the selection operation is performed is larger than the display size of other avatars except the target avatar among the M avatars. In this embodiment, after the selection operation is performed on the target avatar, the selected target avatar is enlarged and highlighted, so that the target avatar is more prominent visually, which is conducive to the user to view the target avatar more clearly on the first display interface to understand which user is the associated user who updated the target multimedia content. This display mode can also help the user quickly identify whether the current selection operation is correct, thereby reducing the probability of errors in the selection operation and ensuring that the user correctly selects the multimedia content corresponding to the avatar of interest.

[0238] As an example, Fig. 8A When the target avatar 431 in the first interface 40 is selected, the display size of the target avatar 431 is larger than the display sizes of other avatars.

[0239] Optionally, the display mode of the target avatar on which the selection operation is performed is different from the display mode of other avatars except the target avatar among the M avatars, including: the target avatar on which the selection operation is performed is displayed dynamically, and the other avatars except the target avatar among the M avatars are displayed statically.

[0240] It should be noted that the display mode of the target avatar on which the selection operation is performed may be any other display mode, as long as the display mode of the target avatar can be distinguished from the display modes of other avatars except the target avatar, and the present application does not limit this.

[0241] In some embodiments, before responding to the selection operation of the target avatar, the electronic device may further display operation guidance information on the first display interface, where the operation guidance information is used to indicate the operation method of selecting any one avatar from multiple avatars displayed in the expanded capsule.

[0242] It should be noted that when the user switches the collapsed capsule to the expanded capsule for the first time, operation guidance information will be displayed on the first display interface. Displaying the operation guidance information can help the user understand what operations can be performed on the expanded capsule to interact with the multimedia content updated by the associated user.

[0243] It can be seen that this implementation provides the user with clear operation guidance by displaying operation guidance information on the interface, and can guide the user on how to select an avatar from multiple avatars displayed in the capsule, thereby improving the usability of the interface.

[0244] Optionally, the operation guidance information is used to indicate an operation method of selecting a target avatar from multiple avatars displayed in the expanded capsule, for example, selecting the target avatar by clicking.

[0245] Optionally, the operation guidance information is used to indicate the operation method of switching the selected avatar between different avatars. For example, the selected avatar is switched between different avatars by sliding. This implementation method informs the user how to switch between different avatars displayed in the selection capsule by displaying the operation guidance information indicating the switching between different avatars on the interface. This prompt method helps the user quickly master the operation method of switching between different avatars, thereby improving the user's operation experience.

[0246] Optionally, the operation guidance information includes at least one of the following: text information for guiding the user to perform the operation method; an image for guiding the user to perform the operation method; an animation for demonstrating the operation process of the operation method.

[0247] Below, an exemplary description is given of a display diagram for displaying the operation guidance information on the first display interface.

[0248] As an example, in the case where the unfolding direction of the unfolded capsule 43 is "horizontally unfolded" along the display position of the collapsed capsule 42, see Fig.9A , Fig.9A This is a schematic diagram of an interface for displaying operation guidance information on a first display interface disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.9A After clicking (x1 represents a single click) the capsule 42 in the retracted state by the operation gesture shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device switches the capsule 42 in the retracted state to be displayed as shown in FIG. Fig.9A The expanded capsule 43 shown in (b) of FIG. Fig.9A The first display interface 40 shown in (b) displays operation guidance information 45, which includes operation gestures for guiding the user to perform the operation method, and a text prompt "Try sliding left and right" for guiding the user to perform the operation method, wherein the operation gesture is displayed in the first display interface 40 in the form of an animation of "swiping left and right" to demonstrate the operation method of switching the selected avatar between different avatars.

[0249] As another example, unlike Fig.9A The display direction of the expanded capsule 43 in the first interface 40 (when the display direction of the expanded capsule 43 in the first display interface 40 is "vertical display"), please refer to Fig. 9B , Fig. 9B is another interface schematic diagram of displaying operation guidance information on the first display interface disclosed in the embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9B After clicking (x1 represents a single click) the capsule 42 in the retracted state by the operation gesture shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device switches the capsule 42 in the retracted state to be displayed as shown in FIG. Fig. 9B The expanded capsule 43 shown in (b) of FIG. Fig. 9B The first display interface 40 shown in (b) displays operation guidance information 45, which includes operation gestures for guiding the user to perform the operation method, and a text prompt "Try sliding up and down" for guiding the user to perform the operation method, wherein the operation gesture is displayed in the first display interface 40 in the form of an animation of "sliding up and down" to demonstrate the operation method of switching the selected avatar between different avatars.

[0250] Optionally, after the operation guidance information is displayed for a preset time period, or in response to an interactive operation on the first display interface, the first display interface turns off displaying the operation guidance information.

[0251] For example, Fig.9A and Fig. 9B As shown, when the operation guidance information 45 is displayed for a preset time period (for example, 3 seconds), or when the user triggers the first display interface 40 (for example, clicks any position of the first display interface 40), the operation guidance information 45 will be undisplayed.

[0252] In an embodiment of the present application, the expanded capsule also supports switching the selected avatar by sliding on the expanded capsule after selecting the target avatar.

[0253] In some embodiments, after displaying a preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar in response to a selection operation on the target avatar, the electronic device can also display a preview screen of the multimedia content corresponding to the first avatar in response to an operation of sliding from the target avatar to the first avatar, where the first avatar is any one of the M avatars except the target avatar.

[0254] Optionally, the operation of sliding from the target avatar to the first avatar is an operation of sliding from the target avatar to the first avatar along an arrangement direction of the M avatars.

[0255] As an optional implementation, the M avatars are arranged in a horizontal direction.

[0256] For example, when the unfolding direction of the unfolded capsule 43 is "horizontally unfolded" along the display position of the collapsed capsule 42, the arrangement direction of the M avatars is horizontal arrangement, see Fig. 10A , Fig. 10A is a schematic diagram of an interface for slidingly displaying a preview screen of multimedia content corresponding to other avatars disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 10A After the sliding operation gesture (from left to right) shown in (a) of FIG. 1 slides from the target avatar 431 to the first avatar 432, the electronic device will display a preview screen 4321 of the multimedia content corresponding to the first avatar 432 on the first display interface 40 (see Fig. 10A In (b) of FIG. 4 , the preview screen 4321 of the multimedia content corresponding to the first avatar 432 is displayed at a position “below” the first avatar 432 in the first display interface 40 .

[0257] As another optional implementation, the M avatars are arranged in a vertical direction.

[0258] For example, when the capsule 43 in the expanded state is displayed in the vertical direction of the first display interface 40 (different from Fig. 10A The capsule 43 in the expanded state is shown in the display direction of the first interface 40, and the arrangement direction of the M avatars is vertical arrangement, see Fig. 10B , Fig. 10B 1 is another interface schematic diagram of slidingly displaying a preview screen of multimedia content corresponding to other avatars disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 10B After the sliding operation gesture (from top to bottom) shown in (a) of FIG. 1 slides from the target avatar 431 to the first avatar 432, the electronic device will display a preview screen 4321 of the multimedia content corresponding to the first avatar 432 on the first display interface 40 (see Fig. 10B(b) in the figure). The preview screen 4321 of the multimedia content corresponding to the first avatar 432 is displayed on the first display interface 40 at the “right side” of the first avatar 432 .

[0259] It can be seen that in this implementation, without switching the current interface, the update content corresponding to different avatars can be quickly switched to preview through a simple sliding operation. This interactive method allows users to quickly filter out the update content they are interested in from the update content corresponding to multiple avatars, allowing users to find the content they are interested in more quickly for further browsing and interaction, saving users time in selecting update content and providing users with a smoother browsing experience.

[0260] In some embodiments, it can be seen from the above two examples that in the process of sliding from the target avatar 431 to the first avatar 432, the second avatar located between the target avatar 431 and the first avatar 432 will be passed, and the number of the second avatars is greater than or equal to 1. The duration of the second avatar being touched can be detected during the operation of sliding from the target avatar 431 to the first avatar 432, and it is determined whether to display the preview screen of the multimedia content corresponding to the second avatar based on the relationship between the duration of the second avatar being touched and the preset touch duration.

[0261] Optionally, when the second avatar is touched for less than a preset touch time, when sliding from the target avatar 431 to the first avatar 432 to automatically switch the selected avatar, the first display interface frequently displays preview images of multimedia content corresponding to different avatars to affect the user experience.

[0262] In some embodiments, when the number of associated users who have updated multimedia content is greater than M, after displaying a preview screen of the multimedia content corresponding to the first avatar in response to the operation of sliding from the target avatar to the first avatar, the method further includes: displaying at least one avatar other than the M avatars in the expanded capsule. This dynamic display method can enable the expanded capsule to display more avatars, which helps the user to view the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the avatar that is not displayed in the expanded capsule.

[0263] As an example, see Fig. 10C , Fig. 10CIt is another interface schematic diagram for sliding display of other avatars disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Assume that the number of associated users who have updated the multimedia content is greater than the number of M avatars displayed in the expanded capsule 43 (for example, the number of associated users who have updated the multimedia content is 10, and the expanded capsule 43 displays 7 avatars, that is, M=7). When the user slides from the target avatar 431 to the first avatar 432, the remaining partial avatars 433 can be dynamically displayed in the expanded capsule 43, and the user can select the remaining partial avatars 433 in the first display interface 40 to display the multimedia content corresponding to the partial avatars 433 in the first display interface 40.

[0264] It can be seen that, by implementing the embodiment of the present application, when a user related to, for example, a friend updates a multimedia work, the user is first prompted through a bubble, and then prompted through a capsule after the switching condition is met. In this way, the user can be dynamically prompted through a display method combining bubble and capsule styles. This method is more interesting, and the dynamic display method can increase the user's sensitivity to the updated content, and can actively guide the user to interact with the updated content, thereby enhancing the interaction between the user and the updated content, and also increasing the user's participation and stickiness with the updated content, effectively improving the user experience. The capsule can be switched from a collapsed state to an expanded state, and a large-sized expanded capsule can display more content, such as more avatars of users who have updated multimedia content can be displayed in the expanded capsule. Through the information displayed in the expanded capsule, it is convenient for users to learn more about the updated content. Information; in addition, the change in the capsule form increases the diversity of the display method of the update prompt, which is more helpful to increase the user's interest in the updated content. It supports users to directly preview the preview screen of associated multimedia content by selecting an avatar in the current interface. Therefore, without switching the current interface, users can more efficiently and quickly filter out the content they are interested in for further viewing through the preview screen, which increases the certainty of subsequent operations. In addition, it increases the fun and convenience of users browsing updated content, and helps to improve users' participation and interaction with updated content.

[0265] See also Fig.11 , Fig.11 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another update prompt method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.11 The method shown may include the following steps:

[0266] Step 1110: The electronic device displays a bubble on a first display interface, where the first display interface plays first multimedia content. The bubble is used to prompt an associated user of the current user that updated multimedia content exists.

[0267] Step 1120: When the switching condition is met, the electronic device switches the bubble display to a capsule, and prompts the associated users of the current user through the capsule that there is updated multimedia content.

[0268] The implementation of steps 1110 and 1120 may refer to the contents of the aforementioned steps 310, 320 and 520, which will not be repeated here.

[0269] Step 1130: In response to an expansion operation on the capsule in the collapsed state, the electronic device switches the capsule in the collapsed state to a capsule in the expanded state, and the size of the capsule in the expanded state is larger than the size of the capsule in the collapsed state.

[0270] The implementation of step 1130 may refer to the contents of the aforementioned step 530 and will not be repeated here.

[0271] Step 1140: The expanded capsule displays M avatars. In response to a selection operation on a target avatar, the electronic device displays a preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar. The target avatar is one of the M avatars.

[0272] The implementation of step 1140 may refer to the contents of the aforementioned step 740 and will not be repeated here.

[0273] Step 1150 : In response to the play operation on the target multimedia content, the electronic device displays a second display interface, and the second display interface plays the target multimedia content.

[0274] In the embodiment of the present application, after the user selects a target avatar on the first display interface, the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar is also supported to be played. Further, after the user performs a play operation on the target multimedia content, the target multimedia content can be played on the second display interface.

[0275] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned manner of displaying the second display interface in response to the play operation of the target multimedia content is that the electronic device displays the second display interface in response to a click operation on the target avatar.

[0276] It should be noted that, in order to simplify user operations, the target multimedia content can be played by directly clicking on the target avatar.

[0277] Below, an exemplary description is given of a display diagram of the second display interface displayed in response to a click operation on a target avatar.

[0278] As an example, in the case where the play action is a click action on the target avatar, see Fig. 12A and Fig. 12B , Fig. 12A and Fig. 12B2 are schematic diagrams of interfaces for playing target multimedia content based on click operations disclosed in the embodiments of the present application. Fig. 12A (a) and Fig. 12B The first display interface 40 shown in (a) in FIG. 1 plays the first multimedia content (the multimedia content corresponding to user 1 in the figure). Fig. 12A (a) and Fig. 12B After clicking (x1 represents single click) the target avatar 431 by the operation gesture shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the first display interface 40 switches to the following Fig. 12A (b) and Fig. 12B The second display interface 50 shown in (a) in FIG. 5 , and the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar 431 is played on the second display interface 50 .

[0279] In other embodiments, the selection operation is a touch operation on the target avatar, and the above-mentioned method of displaying the second display interface in response to the play operation of the target multimedia content is that the electronic device displays the second display interface in response to the release operation of the target avatar.

[0280] The release operation refers to the user performing a touch operation on the target avatar and releasing the touch after a preset touch duration. The preset touch duration can be any set duration, and this application does not limit the preset touch duration.

[0281] As an example, see Fig. 12C , Fig. 12C is a schematic diagram of an interface for playing target multimedia content based on a release operation disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 12C The first display interface 40 shown in (a) in FIG. 1 plays the first multimedia content (the multimedia content corresponding to user 1 in the figure). Fig. 12C The operation gesture shown in (a) of FIG. 1 first selects the target avatar 431 and then releases the hand, and the electronic device switches the first display interface 40 to the following Fig. 12C The second display interface 50 shown in (b) in FIG. 5 , and the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar 431 is played on the second display interface 50 .

[0282] In other embodiments, the selection operation is a touch operation on the target avatar, and the above-mentioned response to the play operation of the target multimedia content, the way of displaying the second display interface is in response to the release operation after sliding the target avatar, and the electronic device displays the second display interface.

[0283] The release operation after sliding refers to an operation in which the user performs a touch operation on a target avatar, slides from the display position of the target avatar along a target direction, and then releases the touch.

[0284] Optionally, the target direction is a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the M avatars.

[0285] Preferably, the target direction is downward, perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the M avatars.

[0286] As an example, in the case where the playback operation is a touch-slide followed by a release operation on the target avatar, see Fig.12D , Fig.12D is a schematic diagram of an interface for playing target multimedia content based on a slide-and-release operation disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.12D The first display interface 40 shown in (a) in FIG. 1 plays the first multimedia content (the multimedia content corresponding to user 1 in the figure). Fig.12D The operation gesture shown in (a) first selects the target avatar 431, then slides down and releases the hand, and the electronic device switches the first display interface 40 to the following Fig.12D The second display interface 50 shown in (b) in FIG. 5 , and the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar 431 is played on the second display interface 50 .

[0287] It can be seen that based on the above-mentioned implementation method of displaying the second display interface in response to the playback operation of the target multimedia content, it supports playing the target multimedia content selected by the user through different operation methods (such as clicking, releasing, or sliding and then releasing), enriching the interaction method between the user and the updated content; at the same time, these operation methods are simple and easy to operate, which simplifies the user's operation method from preview to viewing updated multimedia content, and shortens the operation process. The user can quickly switch to the new interface to play the target multimedia content through simple operations, providing the user with a smoother browsing experience.

[0288] In some implementations, the selection operation is a touch operation on the target avatar, and the method further includes: in response to a release operation after sliding the target avatar, canceling the display of the target multimedia content.

[0289] The release operation after sliding refers to an operation in which the user performs a touch operation on the target avatar, slides from the display position of the target avatar along the target direction, and then releases the touch.

[0290] Optionally, the target direction is a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the M avatars.

[0291] Preferably, the target direction is upward and perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the M avatars.

[0292] Next, an exemplary description is given of canceling the display icon of the target multimedia content in response to a release operation after sliding the target avatar.

[0293] As an example, see Fig.12E , Fig.12Eis a schematic diagram of an interface for canceling the playback of target multimedia content based on a slide-and-release operation disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.12E The first display interface 40 shown in (a) of FIG. 4 shows a preview screen 4311 of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar 431. Fig.12E The operation gesture shown in (a) is to press and hold the target avatar 431, slide it upwards and then release it, and the electronic device can cancel the display of the target multimedia content so that the first display interface 40 is not switched.

[0294] Based on the different playback operations for the target multimedia content mentioned in the aforementioned embodiments (e.g., the click operation for the target avatar, the release operation for the target avatar, and the release operation after the target avatar slides, etc. shown in the aforementioned embodiments), the second display interface displayed by the electronic device will also be different. Below, the second display interface displayed based on different playback operations will be described in detail.

[0295] In some embodiments, when different playback operations for the target multimedia content are a click operation on the target avatar or a release operation on the target avatar, the first display interface and the second display interface are interfaces under the first activity page, and the first activity page is used to play multimedia content in the category to which the first multimedia content belongs; wherein the first activity page is also used to play multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar.

[0296] It should be understood that different activity pages display different contents, so the multimedia contents in the category to which the first multimedia contents belong are the multimedia contents under the first activity page. Thus, the first activity page can be used to play the multimedia contents in the category to which the first multimedia contents belong.

[0297] Exemplarily, when the first activity page is a featured activity page, the category to which the first multimedia content belongs is the category corresponding to the content under the featured activity page; when the first activity page is a homepage activity page, the category to which the first multimedia content belongs is the category corresponding to the content under the homepage activity page.

[0298] In this embodiment, the first display interface and the second display interface are interfaces under the first activity page, indicating that when the first multimedia content is played on the first display interface under the first activity page, the play operation for the target multimedia content is performed, and the first activity page does not jump, but the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar is inserted into the first activity page, and the target multimedia content is played in the second display interface under the first activity page, wherein the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar includes the target multimedia content. Therefore, after the play operation for the target multimedia content is performed, the first activity page can also be used to play the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar.

[0299] It should be noted that, in this implementation, only the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar is inserted into the first activity page where the first display interface is located, instead of inserting the multimedia content updated by the associated user of the current user. This way of inserting multimedia content can avoid inserting too many multimedia contents into the first activity page, which affects the user experience. For example, if the number of updated multimedia contents is large (e.g., 50), after directly inserting 50 multimedia contents into the first activity page, if the user does not want to continue to watch other inserted multimedia contents after watching one multimedia content, at least 50 sliding operations need to be performed. If the number of multimedia contents updated by the associated user corresponding to the selected target avatar is only 5, then, after performing the play operation for the target multimedia content, only 5 multimedia contents are inserted into the first activity page. When the user does not want to continue to watch other inserted multimedia contents after watching one multimedia content, only 5 sliding operations are needed to continue to watch other multimedia contents under the first activity page on the first activity page. It can be seen that this insertion method can save the number of subsequent switching operation methods for users, and the operation method is more friendly and convenient.

[0300] Optionally, inserting multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar in the first activity page includes: inserting the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar after the first multimedia content played in the first display interface under the first activity page, or inserting the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar before the first multimedia content played in the first display interface under the first activity page.

[0301] Preferably, the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar is inserted after the first multimedia content played in the first display interface under the first activity page. In this insertion method, after the user has watched the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar, the interface under the first activity page will continue to play the multimedia content after the first multimedia content, and the user does not need to watch the first multimedia content repeatedly in the first activity page, thereby improving the user's viewing experience.

[0302] In the following, for different playback operations of the target multimedia content, the display diagrams of the first display interface and the second display interface being interfaces under the first active page are exemplarily described.

[0303] As an example, see Fig. 12A .like Fig. 12A The "Selected" label 46 on the first display interface 40 and the second display interface 50 is shown in bold, indicating that the first display interface 40 and the second display interface 50 are both interfaces under the "Selected" label 46. Fig. 12A In the first display interface 40 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the first multimedia content under the "Featured" label 46 is played. When the user clicks Fig. 12A The operation gesture shown in (a) in FIG. 1 clicks (x1 represents single click) the target avatar 431, which triggers the electronic device to insert the multimedia content updated by the associated user (friend 3 in the figure) corresponding to the target avatar 431 after the first multimedia content, such as Fig. 12A The second display interface 50 shown in (b) in FIG. 5 is playing the inserted target multimedia content.

[0304] As an example, see Fig.12D .like Fig.12D The "Selected" label 46 on the first display interface 40 and the second display interface 50 is shown in bold, indicating that the first display interface 40 and the second display interface 50 are both interfaces under the "Selected" label 46. Fig.12D In the first display interface 40 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the first multimedia content under the "Featured" label 46 is played. When the user clicks Fig.12D The operation gesture shown in (a) first selects the target avatar 431 and then slides down and releases the hand, which triggers the electronic device to insert the multimedia content updated by the associated user (friend 3 in the figure) corresponding to the target avatar 431 after the first multimedia content, such as Fig.12D The second display interface 50 shown in (b) in FIG. 5 is playing the inserted target multimedia content.

[0305] It can be seen that in this embodiment, the first display interface for playing the first multimedia content and the second display interface for playing the updated target multimedia content are interfaces under the same active page (such as the first active page), which means that the electronic device plays the updated target multimedia content without switching the active page, or in other words, the electronic device inserts the multimedia content updated by the target avatar selected by the user in the same active page (such as the first active page). This method of inserting updated content facilitates the user to view the original multimedia content under the active page and the multimedia content updated by the associated user subsequently inserted in the same active page, so that the user can smoothly switch from the inserted updated multimedia content to the original multimedia content under the active page in the same active page, so that the user can continue to watch the multimedia content in the active page later.

[0306] In some implementations, the second display interface further displays update prompt information, where the update prompt information is used to prompt the associated user to insert updated multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar in the first activity page.

[0307] In this embodiment, based on the aforementioned embodiment, multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar is inserted into the first activity page, and after the inserted target multimedia content is played on the second display interface, the second display interface can also display information of the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the inserted target avatar.

[0308] Optionally, the update prompt information is used to prompt the number of multimedia contents updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar inserted in the first activity page.

[0309] Optionally, the update prompt information is also used to prompt the name of the associated user corresponding to the target avatar inserted in the first activity page.

[0310] Optionally, after the update prompt information is displayed for a preset time period, the second display interface turns off displaying the update prompt information.

[0311] As an example, see Fig. 12A and Fig.12D .like Fig. 12A (b) and Fig.12D The second display interface 50 shown in (b) in FIG. 4 shows an update prompt message 47, which includes text information "5 updated works of friend 3 have been inserted". The update prompt message 47 can be used to understand the number of updated works of friend 3 and the name of friend 3. In addition, after the update prompt message 47 is displayed for a preset time (for example, 2 seconds), the update prompt message 47 will automatically cancel the display to avoid blocking the multimedia content played on the second display interface for a long time.

[0312] It can be seen that in this implementation, by displaying update prompt information to prompt the user of the updated multimedia content currently inserted, and reminding the user to pay attention to the inserted updated multimedia content, this prompting method enhances the fun of displaying the update prompt information and helps the user understand the relevant information of the inserted updated content; in addition, the update prompt information is used to prompt the insertion of the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar in the current active page (such as the first active page), which means that only the multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar is inserted in the current active page. Generally speaking, the number of multimedia contents updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar is less than the number of multimedia contents updated by all associated users. In this way, when the user does not want to watch the inserted multimedia content, only a few switching operations need to be performed to switch out the inserted multimedia content on the current active page, avoiding the user's resistance when switching multimedia content. It can be seen that this solution can provide users with a more friendly interactive experience.

[0313] In some embodiments, when different playback operations for the target multimedia content are a click operation on the target avatar or a release operation after sliding the target avatar, the first display interface is the interface under the first activity page, and the second display interface is the internal flow page under the first activity page. The internal flow page is used to play multimedia content updated by the associated users of the current user.

[0314] It should be noted that the first activity page and the internal flow pages under the first activity page are in a superior-subordinate relationship.

[0315] In this embodiment, the second display interface is an internal flow page under the first active page, which means that when the first multimedia content is played on the first display interface under the first active page, a play operation for the target multimedia content is performed, and the page will jump to the internal flow page under the first active page, and the multimedia content updated by the associated user of the current user is inserted into the internal flow page under the first active page, and the target multimedia content is played in the second display interface under the internal flow page, wherein the multimedia content updated by the associated user of the current user includes the target multimedia content. Thus, after the play operation for the target multimedia content is performed, the internal flow page under the first active page can be used to play the multimedia content updated by the associated user of the current user.

[0316] Optionally, the inner flow page under the first activity page includes a return control. After the return control is triggered, you can switch from the inner flow page back to the first activity page, that is, you can switch from the second display interface back to the first display interface through the return control.

[0317] It should be noted that in this implementation, the multimedia content updated by the associated user of the current user is inserted into the inner stream page under the first activity page. Since the inner stream page includes a return control, when the user does not want to continue watching other inserted multimedia content after watching a multimedia content, he only needs to click the return control to switch the inner stream page back to the first activity page, without the user having to perform a complicated switching operation. It can be seen that this insertion method simplifies the operation mode of the user switching to select different pages to play different types of multimedia content.

[0318] In the following, for different playback operations of the target multimedia content, the display diagram in which the first display interface is an interface under the first active page and the second display interface is an internal flow page under the first active page is exemplarily described.

[0319] As an example, see Fig. 12B ,like Fig. 12B The first display interface 40 shown in (a) is an interface under the "Featured" label 46. Fig. 12B In the first display interface 40 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the first multimedia content under the "Featured" label 46 is played. When the user clicks Fig. 12B The operation gesture shown in (a) in FIG. 1 clicks (x1 represents single click) the target avatar 431, which triggers the electronic device to enter the internal flow interface (the second display interface 50 in the figure) under the "Featured" label 46, so that the multimedia content updated by all the associated users of the current user is played through the internal flow page, such as Fig. 12B The second display interface 50 shown in (b) in FIG. 5 is playing the inserted target multimedia content.

[0320] As another example, see Fig. 12C ,like Fig. 12C The first display interface 40 shown in (a) is an interface under the "Featured" label 46. Fig. 12C In the first display interface 40 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the first multimedia content under the "Featured" label 46 is played. When the user clicks Fig. 12C The operation gesture shown in (a) of FIG. 1 first selects the target avatar 431 and then releases the hand, which triggers the electronic device to enter the internal flow interface (the second display interface 50 in the figure) under the "selected" label 46, so that the multimedia content updated by all the associated users of the current user is played through the internal flow page, such as Fig. 12C The second display interface 50 shown in (b) in FIG. 5 is playing the inserted target multimedia content.

[0321] Optionally, the internal flow page under the first activity page is a follow page. It should be understood that the follow page is used to play multimedia content updated by users associated with the current user.

[0322] For example, Fig. 12B (b) and Fig. 12C The second display interface 50 shown in (b) includes identification information 48, and the text information "Follow" included in the identification information 48 indicates that the internal flow interface is a page for playing multimedia content updated by the associated user that the current user is following; the identification information 48 also includes a return control, which can switch from the second display interface 50 back to the first display interface 40 after being triggered.

[0323] It can be seen that in this implementation, the second display interface is an internal flow page under the first active page, indicating that all multimedia contents updated by associated users are played separately through the internal flow page. This method of playing updated content separately through the internal flow page allows users to immersively watch the updated content on the new page, thereby improving the user's concentration on watching the updated content; and, the display of the updated multimedia content in the internal flow page and the display of the original multimedia content in the first active page do not affect each other, so that when the user stays on the internal flow page to watch the updated multimedia content, he will not be disturbed by the related content in the first active page.

[0324] In some implementations, before responding to the play operation on the target multimedia content, the first display interface may further display first operation guidance information, where the first operation guidance information is used to indicate an operation method for playing the target multimedia content.

[0325] It should be noted that after the user displays the preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar on the first display interface for the first time, the first operation guidance information will be displayed on the first display interface. The first operation guidance information can help the user understand which operations can be performed to play the target multimedia content.

[0326] Optionally, the operation guidance information includes at least one of the following: text information used to guide the user to execute the operation method of playing the target multimedia content; an image used to guide the user to execute the operation method of playing the target multimedia content; an animation used to demonstrate the operation process of the operation method of playing the target multimedia content.

[0327] Below, a display diagram of the first display interface displaying the first operation guidance information is exemplarily described.

[0328] As an example, see Fig.13 , Fig.13 This is another interface schematic diagram of displaying operation guidance information on the first display interface disclosed in the embodiment of the present application. Fig.13When the target avatar 431 is shown, and the electronic device displays a preview screen 4311 of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar 431 on the first display interface 40, a first operation guide information 49 can be displayed on the first display interface 40, and the first operation guide information 49 includes an operation gesture for guiding the user to execute the play of the target multimedia content, and a text prompt "Try to slide down and then let go" for guiding the user to execute the play of the target multimedia content, wherein the operation gesture is displayed in the first display interface 40 in the form of an animation of "sliding down" to demonstrate the operation method of playing the target multimedia content by sliding down and then letting go.

[0329] Optionally, when the target multimedia content is played on the second display interface, the capsule in the expanded state displayed on the second display interface is switched to a capsule in the collapsed state. Fig. 12A and Fig.12D As shown, in the case where the first display interface 40 and the second display interface 50 are interfaces under the first active page, since the first display interface 40 does not jump, when the target multimedia content is played on the second display interface 50, the capsule displayed on the second display interface 50 is in a retracted state, which can avoid blocking the playback screen of the target multimedia content in the second display interface 50.

[0330] In some embodiments, based on the above, after displaying the second display interface in response to the playback operation of the target multimedia content, the electronic device can also play at least one multimedia content in response to at least one playback switching operation, and the at least one playback switching operation corresponds one-to-one to the at least one multimedia content.

[0331] It should be noted that after the target multimedia content is played on the second display interface, the user is also supported to perform a play switching operation on the second display interface to play other multimedia content except the target multimedia content.

[0332] It should also be noted that the one-to-one correspondence between at least one play switching operation and at least one multimedia content means that each time the user performs a play switching operation, the second display interface can switch to play a multimedia content.

[0333] As can be seen from the above-described implementation, when the first display interface and the second display interface are interfaces under the first active page, the interface under the first active page is used to play multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar and multimedia content in the category to which the first multimedia content belongs; or, when the first display interface is the interface under the first active page and the second display interface is the internal flow page under the first active page, the interface under the internal flow page is used to play multimedia content updated by the associated user of the current user. It can be seen that in different scenarios, the multimedia content played on different pages is different.

[0334] Therefore, in this embodiment, since the multimedia contents played on different pages are different, after the target multimedia contents are played on the second display interface, at least one play switching operation is performed, and at least one multimedia content played on the interfaces under different pages will also be different.

[0335] In an optional embodiment, when the interface under the first activity page is used to play multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar and multimedia content in the category to which the first multimedia content belongs, at least one playback switching operation is performed, and the at least one multimedia content played corresponding to the interface under the first activity page may include: other multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar.

[0336] As an example, see Fig.14A , Fig.14A is a schematic diagram of an interface for switching to play multimedia content disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.14A The second display interface 50 shown in (a) is an interface under the "Featured" label 46. The second display interface 50 plays the target multimedia content updated by the associated user (shown as friend 3) corresponding to the target avatar. For example, when the multimedia content updated by the associated user (shown as friend 3) corresponding to the target avatar also includes other multimedia content in addition to the target multimedia content, when the user clicks Fig.14A After sliding the target multimedia content with the play switching gesture (upward sliding operation) shown in (a) of FIG. Fig.14A The display interface 60 shown in (b) in the figure switches to play other multimedia contents updated by the associated user (shown as friend 3 ) corresponding to the target avatar.

[0337] In another optional embodiment, when the interface under the first activity page is used to play multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar and multimedia content in the category to which the first multimedia content belongs, at least one playback switching operation is performed, and the at least one multimedia content played corresponding to the interface under the first activity page may include: multimedia content located after the first multimedia content in the category to which the first multimedia content belongs.

[0338] It should be noted that the multimedia content after the first multimedia content may be one multimedia content, or a plurality of multimedia contents. The number of multimedia contents after the first multimedia content is determined according to the number of play switching operations.

[0339] As an example, see Fig. 14B , Fig. 14B is another interface diagram for switching to play multimedia content disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 14B When the last multimedia content updated by the associated user (shown as friend 3) corresponding to the target avatar is played in the display interface 70 shown in (a) of FIG. Fig. 14B After sliding the illustrated multimedia content with the play switching gesture (slide up operation) shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device Fig. 14B In the display interface 80 shown in (b) of FIG. 1 , the multimedia content (such as Fig. 14B The multimedia content corresponding to user 2 shown in (b)).

[0340] In another optional embodiment, when the interface under the internal stream page is used to play multimedia content updated by users associated with the current user, at least one playback switching operation is performed, and at least one multimedia content played corresponding to the interface under the internal stream page may include: multimedia content other than the target multimedia content among the multimedia content updated by users associated with M avatars.

[0341] It should be understood that multimedia content other than the target multimedia content includes: other multimedia content updated by the associated user corresponding to the target avatar, and multimedia content updated by the associated users corresponding to other avatars other than the target avatar.

[0342] As an example, see Fig. 14C , Fig. 14C 1 is another interface diagram for switching multimedia content disclosed in the embodiment of the present application. Fig. 14C When the last multimedia content updated by the associated user (shown as friend 3) corresponding to the target avatar is played in the display interface 70 shown in (a) of FIG. Fig. 14C After sliding the illustrated multimedia content with the play switching gesture (slide up operation) shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device Fig. 14C The display interface 90 shown in (b) switches to play the multimedia content updated by friend 4 who is located after friend 3.

[0343] It can be seen that this implementation supports users to play other updated multimedia content or multimedia content in the category to which the first multimedia content belongs through a play switching operation when the target multimedia content is played on the second display interface, so that users can quickly view other multimedia content.

[0344] It can be seen that, by implementing the embodiment of the present application, when a user related to, for example, a friend updates a multimedia work, the user is first prompted through a bubble, and then prompted through a capsule after the switching condition is met. In this way, the user can be dynamically prompted through a display method combining bubble and capsule styles. This method is more interesting, and the dynamic display method can increase the user's sensitivity to the updated content, and can actively guide the user to interact with the updated content, thereby enhancing the interaction between the user and the updated content, and also increasing the user's participation and stickiness with the updated content, effectively improving the user experience. The capsule can be switched from a collapsed state to an expanded state, and a large-sized expanded capsule can display more content, such as more avatars of users who have updated multimedia content can be displayed in the expanded capsule. Through the information displayed in the expanded capsule, it is convenient for users to learn more about the updated content. Information; in addition, the change in the capsule form increases the diversity of the display method of the update prompt, which is more helpful to increase the user's interest in the updated content. Support users to directly preview the preview screen of the associated multimedia content by selecting an avatar on the current interface. Therefore, without switching the current interface, users can more efficiently and quickly filter out the content they are interested in for further viewing through the preview screen, which increases the certainty of subsequent operations; in addition, it increases the fun and convenience of users browsing updated content, and helps to improve the user's participation and interaction with updated content. Users can perform a play operation on the target multimedia content, and the selected target multimedia content can be played on the interface, providing an immersive viewing experience for users to view the selected target multimedia content.

[0345] It should be understood that, although the steps in the above-mentioned flowcharts are displayed in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear explanation in this article, the execution of these steps does not have a strict order restriction, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a part of the steps in the above-mentioned flowcharts may include a plurality of sub-steps or a plurality of stages, and these sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a part of the sub-steps or stages of other steps. In addition, the above-mentioned multiple embodiments can be implemented independently, and can also be combined with each other, which is not limited here.

[0346] Based on the foregoing embodiments, an embodiment of the present application provides an update prompt device, which includes the modules included and the units included in the modules, and can be implemented by a processor; of course, it can also be implemented by a specific logic circuit; in the implementation process, the processor can be a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor (MPU), a digital signal processor (DSP) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA), etc.

[0347] See also Fig.15 , Fig.15 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an update prompt device disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.15 The device shown includes:

[0348] The first display module 1510 is used to display bubbles on the first display interface, where the first display interface plays the first multimedia content, and the bubbles are used to prompt the associated users of the current user that there is updated multimedia content;

[0349] The second display module 1520 is used to switch the bubble to a capsule when the switching condition is met, and prompt the associated users of the current user that there is updated multimedia content through the capsule.

[0350] In some embodiments, the second display module 1520 is specifically used to switch the bubble to display a capsule in a collapsed state.

[0351] In some embodiments, the capsule in the collapsed state includes at least one of the following information:

[0352] at least one avatar, wherein the at least one avatar is an avatar of at least one associated user who has updated the multimedia content;

[0353] A position mark, which is used to indicate the position relationship of the capsule in the expanded state relative to the capsule in the retracted state;

[0354] More flag, which is used to indicate that the collapsed capsule contains information of associated users that are not displayed, and the associated users that are not displayed are some of the associated users who have updated the multimedia content.

[0357] In some embodiments, the third display module is specifically used for:

[0358] Displaying the expanded capsule below or above the display position of the collapsed capsule; or,

[0359] The capsule in the expanded state is expanded horizontally along the display position of the capsule in the collapsed state.

[0360] In some embodiments, the expanded capsule displays M avatars, where the M avatars are avatars of associated users who have updated the multimedia content, and M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0361] like Fig.15 The device shown also includes: a fourth display module.

[0362] The fourth display module is used to display a preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar in response to the selection operation of the target avatar, where the target avatar is one of the M avatars.

[0363] In some embodiments, the display size of the target avatar on which the selection operation is performed is larger than the display sizes of other avatars among the M avatars except the target avatar.

[0364] In some embodiments, Fig.15 The device shown also includes: a fifth display module.

[0365] Before the fourth display module responds to the selection operation of the target avatar, the fifth display module is used to display operation guidance information on the first display interface, where the operation guidance information is used to indicate the operation method of selecting any one avatar from multiple avatars displayed in the expanded capsule.

[0366] In some embodiments, the operation guidance information is used to indicate the operation method of switching the selected avatar between different avatars.

[0367] In some embodiments, Fig.15 The device shown also includes: a sixth display module.

[0368] After the fourth display module displays a preview screen of the target multimedia content corresponding to the target avatar in response to the selection operation of the target avatar, the sixth display module is used to display a preview screen of the multimedia content corresponding to the first avatar in response to the operation of sliding from the target avatar to the first avatar, where the first avatar is any avatar among the M avatars except the target avatar.

[0369] In some embodiments, Fig.15 The device shown also includes: a seventh display module.

[0370] The seventh display module is used to display a second display interface in response to a play operation on the target multimedia content, where the second display interface plays the target multimedia content.
