[0014] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0015] It should be noted that the titles of any sections / subsections provided herein are not restrictive. Various embodiments are described throughout this article, and any type of embodiment may be included under any section / subsection. In addition, the embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any manner with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0016] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below.

[0017] The embodiments of the present disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition and / or use, etc. These aspects are subject to the corresponding laws, regulations and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are carried out on the premise that the user knows and confirms. Accordingly, when implementing each embodiment of the present disclosure, the type, scope of use, usage scenario, etc. of the data or information that may be involved should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. The specific notification and / or authorization method can vary according to the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

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

[0019] As described above, some intelligent dialogue systems, digital assistant applications, etc. can support some dialogue interactions of users. Users can ask some questions to virtual objects supported by these intelligent dialogue systems, digital assistant applications, etc., so that virtual objects can reply to these questions of users to realize dialogue interaction with users. In some scenarios, the questions raised by users may not be comprehensive, so the questions asked can be supplemented by asking follow-up questions. Based on this questioning method, virtual objects can provide more accurate reply content. However, in this way, users may need to conduct more rounds of follow-up questions to express more complex and personalized questions, thereby reducing the interaction efficiency of users and providing poor user experience. If the user only provides preliminary questions, the reply message of the virtual object is less accurate and cannot meet the user's expectations.

[0020] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes an interactive solution. According to the solution of the present disclosure, a guidance control can be provided in a conversation interface with a virtual object. Further, in response to the guidance control being triggered, guidance content can be presented, and the guidance content includes at least one interactive suggestion generated based on the historical conversation between the user and the virtual object. Further, candidate content generated based on the user's input content can be presented. Additionally, in response to a preset operation on the candidate content, a first message corresponding to the candidate content can be sent in the conversation interface.

[0021] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a guidance control to support providing users with at least one interactive suggestion generated based on the historical conversation between the user and the virtual object, thereby helping users to receive inspiration through this automatic guidance when asking questions, so that users can ask questions from more dimensions and obtain higher-quality candidate content, thereby improving the interaction efficiency between users and virtual objects. Further, the embodiments of the present disclosure can send a first message corresponding to such candidate content in the conversation interface, improve the accuracy of subsequent virtual object answers, thereby further improving the interaction efficiency between users and virtual objects, allowing users to obtain desired information more efficiently.

[0022] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide at least one interactive suggestion presented by the guiding content, so that the user can ask questions from more dimensions, thereby improving the accuracy of the first message corresponding to such candidate content. Further, based on such a first message, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the interaction efficiency between the user and the virtual object, so that the user can obtain the desired information more efficiently.

[0023] Example Environment

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

[0025] In the example environment 100, the electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports interaction. The application 120 may be any appropriate type of application for interaction, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, instant messaging applications, video applications, social applications, or other appropriate applications. The user 140 may interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices, such as interacting with a virtual object supported by the application 120 through a conversation.

[0026] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100 , if the application 120 is in an active state, the application 120 may provide a presentation interface 150 for the user 140 .

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

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

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

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

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

[0032] Example Interaction

[0033] An example interaction process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] FIG. 2A to FIG. 2J Example interfaces 200A to 200J according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Interfaces 200A to 200J may be, for example, Figure 1 The electronic device 110 is provided as shown.

[0035] like Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 200A for the user 140 to interact with the virtual object. In some scenarios, the interface 200A may include a conversation interface between the user 140 and the virtual object. Such a conversation interface may be, for example, a single chat conversation between the user 140 and the virtual object, or a group chat conversation with at least the user 140 and the virtual object as participants. In some scenarios, such a conversation interface may also include a conversational search interface associated with the virtual object, which may, for example, search for some content based on the conversation between the user 140 and the virtual object, and then present the search results in the form of a reply message by the virtual object.

[0036] In some other scenarios, such a dialogue interface may have other appropriate forms. For example, the dialogue interface may correspond to the interactive space of the virtual object, which may support the user 140 to conduct multiple modal dialogue interactions with the virtual object.

[0037] In some embodiments, the conversation between the user 140 and the virtual object may be in the form of a single-round conversation, for example, the virtual object only replies to a single conversation message from the user 140, without considering the historical conversations between the user 140 and the virtual object. The conversation between the user 140 and the virtual object may also be in the form of a multi-round conversation, for example, the reply message of the virtual object may be determined based on the historical conversations between the user 140 and the virtual object. As an example, such a single-round conversation form and a multi-round conversation form may be configured by the user, for example, the user may choose to set the conversation with the virtual object to be in the form of a single-round conversation or a multi-round conversation.

[0038] In some embodiments, if the conversation between the user 140 and the virtual object is in a multi-round form, the electronic device 110 can support the user 140 to ask follow-up or supplementary questions to improve the accuracy of the content replied by the virtual object. In order to improve the accuracy of the follow-up or supplementary messages of the user 140, the electronic device 110 can provide a guide control 211 in such an interface 200A.

[0039] As an example, such a guide control 211 may display prompt information (e.g., text information such as "I have inspiration" etc.) so that the user 140 can quickly obtain the function of such a guide control 211 from such an interface 200A. As an example, such a guide control 211 may support multiple forms of trigger operations of the user, such as clicking, sliding, etc.

[0040] In order to improve the efficiency of the user in acquiring information from such an interface 200A, the electronic device 110 may present such a guide control 211 when the dialogue between the user and the virtual object meets a preset condition (for example, the user and the virtual object have conducted at least one round of dialogue interaction, the dialogue includes preset text, etc.). Alternatively, the electronic device 110 may also support multiple display styles of the guide control 211, for example, a first display style and a second display style.

[0041] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may present the guide control 211 in the first display style in the interface 200A when the conversation between the user and the virtual object does not meet the preset condition, and present the guide control 211 in the second display style when the conversation between the user and the virtual object meets the preset condition. Thus, the user 140 may perceive such a guide service more quickly from such a conversation interface 200A, thereby improving the information acquisition efficiency of the user 140.

[0042] In some embodiments, the user can view the guidance content provided by the electronic device 110 by triggering such a guidance control 211, and such guidance content may include at least one interaction suggestion generated based on the historical dialogue between the user and the virtual object. As an example, such at least one interaction suggestion may be generated by the electronic device 110, or by the server 130, or by a third-party electronic device that supports the model (marked as the first model for easy distinction) and transmitted to the electronic device 110. As an example, such a first model may include any appropriate generative model, which may, for example, generate some corresponding interaction suggestions based on the input dialogue content.

[0043] As an example, such guidance content may also be generated by the electronic device 110, or generated by the server 130, or generated by a third-party electronic device supporting the model (marked as the second model for easy distinction) and transmitted to the electronic device 110. As an example, such a second model may include any appropriate generative model, which may, for example, generate corresponding guidance content based on the input dialogue content.

[0044] The following embodiment of the present disclosure is illustratively described using an example in which a historical conversation includes a user 140 asking a virtual object "What dish would be good to cook tonight?" It should be understood that the present disclosure is not intended to limit the content of a specific conversation between a user and a virtual object.

[0045] As an example, as an example, such at least one interaction suggestion may indicate at least one conversation topic with the virtual object. Such at least one conversation topic may include content that the user 140 can ask or supplement after such historical conversation. For example, according to Figure 2B In the interface 200B shown, the electronic device 110 can present guidance content 221 to the user, and such guidance content 221 can include at least one interactive suggestion "Tell me about your taste, expected cooking time, and food reserves, and I can help you analyze what dish is better to cook." Further, such at least one interactive suggestion indicates at least one dialogue topic "taste", "expected cooking time", "food reserves", etc., thereby guiding the user 140 to ask follow-up questions or supplement after the question "What dish is better to cook tonight?" Based on this, the user 140 can input some follow-up questions or supplementary input content in such guidance content 221. Specifically, the user 140 can input such input content into the guidance panel (for example, guidance panel 222) corresponding to such guidance content 221.

[0046] As an example, according to Figure 2C In the interface 200C shown, the input content of the user 140 is, for example, input content 231 (for example, "sweeter dishes, I can spend two hours to cook tonight, and there are some potatoes left at home, what dishes should I cook?"). Such input content can improve the question "What dishes are better to cook tonight?" in the historical dialogue, thereby improving the accuracy of the subsequent virtual object reply message.

[0047] In some embodiments, the user 140 can trigger such input content 231 to be sent to the dialogue interface with the virtual object to interact with the virtual object. In some scenarios, the input content 231 input by the user may not be accurately recognized, so the electronic device 110 can polish the user's input content 231, thereby supporting the user to send the polished content to further improve the accuracy of the message sent. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can present candidate content generated based on the input content 231 of the user 140.

[0048] As an example, such candidate content may be generated by the electronic device 110, or may be generated by the server 130, or may be generated by a third-party electronic device that supports the model (marked as a third model for easy distinction) and transmitted to the electronic device 110. As an example, such a third model may include any appropriate generative model, which may, for example, polish the input content to generate more accurate polished content such as grammar and description information.

[0049] As an example, according to Figure 2D In the interface 200D shown, the electronic device 110 can present candidate content 232 generated based on the input content 231 of the user 140 (for example, "a recipe with a sweeter taste, taking two hours, and using potatoes"). Such candidate content 232 can have clearer logic and more accurate grammar than the input content 231 of the user 140.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may automatically generate such candidate content when determining that the user input is paused, so as to further improve the interaction efficiency of the user 140. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may detect the input state of such a conversation interface after receiving the input content 231 of the user 140. Further, if such input state indicates that the conversation interface has not received additional input content within a preset time length, the electronic device 110 may present the candidate content 232 generated based on the input content 231 of the user 140. As an example, such a preset time length may be set based on actual project requirements, such as ten seconds, etc., and the present disclosure is not intended to limit the specific value of such a preset time length.

[0051] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide a control for triggering the presentation of such candidate content, and the user 140 may trigger such a control after inputting such input content to control the electronic device 110 to present the candidate content generated based on the input content. Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure may improve the accuracy of such candidate content.

[0052] In some embodiments, according to Figure 2D In the interface 200D shown, the electronic device 110 can present such candidate content 232 by updating the presented guide content 221 to such candidate content 232. Thus, the embodiment of the present disclosure can avoid the interference of the guide content 221 on the input of the user 140, thereby improving the efficiency of the user 140 in obtaining the desired information from such a conversation interface.

[0053] In some embodiments, such candidate content may also be generated based on historical conversations and / or guidance content. For example, when the user 140 does not provide such input content, the electronic device 110 may automatically update such guidance content 221 to candidate content generated based on historical conversations and / or guidance content, thereby further improving the interaction efficiency of the user 140 in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0054] Further, according to Figure 2D In the interface 200D shown, the user 140 can trigger the sending of such candidate content 232 to trigger the sending of the first message corresponding to the candidate content 232 in the conversation interface with the virtual object. Figure 2E In the interface 200E shown, the electronic device 110 can send a first message 241 corresponding to the candidate content 232 by triggering a control 233 (e.g., a "use" control) in the conversation interface with the virtual object. As a result, the subsequent virtual object can provide the user with a more accurate reply message for the first message 241.

[0055] In some embodiments, if the user 140 triggers the control 233, the electronic device 110 can also replace the input content 234 entered by the user 140 with such candidate content 232. Further, the user 140 can send the displayed candidate content 232 by triggering the control 234. Thus, the user 140 can adjust such candidate content 232, thereby further improving the accuracy of the subsequently sent first message 241.

[0056] In some embodiments, the user 140 may not adopt such candidate content 232. As an example, the user 140 may trigger the sending of the input content 231 in such a conversation interface. Figure 2D In the interface 200D shown, the user 140 can trigger the control 234 to send the input content 231 to the conversation interface. Thus, the electronic device 110 can send a second message corresponding to the input content 231 to the conversation interface with the virtual object when receiving a sending request associated with the input content 231. Based on this, the electronic device 110 can support more comprehensive dialogue interaction, thereby further improving the interaction efficiency between the user 140 and the conversation interface.

[0057] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may support multiple types of guidance content to further improve the interaction efficiency between the user 140 and the guidance content and the content input efficiency. Figure 2F to Figure 2J , to further describe the second type of guidance content, the third type of guidance content, and the fourth type of guidance content supported by the electronic device 110.

[0058] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present the second type of guidance content to the user 140, and such second type of guidance content may include at least one group of candidate items. Figure 2F In the interface 200F shown, the second type of guidance content presented by the electronic device 110 to the user 140 is, for example, guidance content 251 .

[0059] As an example, such guidance content 251 may include a first group of candidate items related to "taste", "unlimited", "sweet", "spicy", and "salty". As an example, the guidance content 251 may also include a second group of candidate items related to "time consuming", "30 minutes", "1 hour", and "2 hours". As an example, the guidance content 251 may also include a third group of candidate items related to "other factors", "vegetarian", and "meat". Based on this, the user 140 may select at least one desired candidate item from such at least one group of candidate items. For example, the at least one candidate item selected by the user 140 may include "sweet", "2 hours", and "vegetarian". As an example, the user 140 may also only select "sweet", "2 hours", etc. The present disclosure is not intended to limit the numerical relationship between the at least one candidate item selected by the user and the at least one group of candidate items provided by the electronic device 110.

[0060] Taking the example of user 140 selecting "sweet", "2 hours", and "vegetarian", the electronic device 110 may send a third message generated based on at least one of the candidate items in the conversation interface. Figure 2G In the interface 200G shown, the electronic device 110 may send such a third message 252. As an example, such a third message may be generated by the electronic device 110, generated by the server 130, or generated by other electronic devices and transmitted to the electronic device 110. In this way, the user 140 can send a desired message without complex text input, thereby improving the interaction efficiency between the user and the conversation interface.

[0061] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present the third type of guidance content to the user 140. Such third type of guidance content may include at least one function entry. For ease of understanding, the following takes the third type of guidance content including one function entry as an example. Figure 2HIn the interface 200H shown, the third type of guidance content presented by the electronic device 110 to the user 140 is, for example, guidance content 261, and such guidance content 261 may present a function entry 262. Further, if the user 140 triggers such a function entry 262, the electronic device 110 may present to the user a function interface corresponding to the function entry 262. As an example, such a function entry may also be a service entry or other suitable interactive entry, and thus, the user 140 may trigger the presentation of a service interface or other interactive interface corresponding to the service entry by triggering such a service entry.

[0062] As an example, such a function entry 262 may be a function entry corresponding to a service associated with a historical conversation. For example, if the historical conversation involves unit conversion, such a function entry 262 may be an entry to a functional interface for unit conversion. For another example, if the historical conversation includes setting an XX function, such a function entry 262 may be an entry to a functional interface for setting the XX function, and so on. In this way, the user 140 may quickly trigger the presentation of such a functional interface without having to search for such a functional interface through complex multiple page interactions, thereby improving the device interaction efficiency between the user 140 and such an electronic device 110.

[0063] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a fourth type of guidance content to the user 140. Such fourth type of guidance content may include a conversation entrance. For ease of understanding, the conversation interface between the above-mentioned user and the virtual object is marked as a first conversation interface, and the conversation interface corresponding to such a conversation entrance is marked as a second conversation interface.

[0064] As an example, according to Fig.2I In the interface 200I shown, the electronic device 110 may present a guide content 271 (also referred to as the fourth type of guide content) to the user 140. Such a guide content 271 may include a conversation entry 272. As an example, the conversation corresponding to such a conversation entry 272 may be associated with multiple participants, and the electronic device 110 may present the identification information of at least one of such multiple participants in such an interface 200I. As an example, such a participant may be a user or other virtual object, such as an avatar. As an example, according to Fig.2I In the interface 200I shown, the guide content 271 may present identification information such as the avatar of participant 1 (e.g., avatar 1), participant 1 (e.g., avatar 2), and participant 1 (e.g., avatar 3).

[0065] In some embodiments, such guide content 271 may also present topics associated with the conversation corresponding to such conversation entry 272. Continuing with the above example, such topics may include the topic "recommended dinner recipes" generated based on historical conversations including "what dish is better to cook tonight?" Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure may further improve the efficiency of the user 140 in obtaining desired information from the conversation interface.

[0066] Further, if the user 140 triggers such a session entrance 272, the electronic device 110 may present a second session interface of the session corresponding to the session entrance 272 to the user 140. Such a second session interface may include, for example, Figure 2J The interface 200J shown is, for example, a group chat session interface between a user and avatar 1, avatar 2, and avatar 3. As an example, the subject of such a session may include a topic associated with a session corresponding to such a session entry 272. Alternatively, user 140 may edit the properties of such a session, such as changing the subject of such a session. Additionally, user 140 may interact with avatar 1, avatar 2, and avatar 3 in such a group chat session interface. Furthermore, electronic device 110 may also provide a guide control in such a group chat session interface and support guiding user input. The specific implementation method may refer to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will not be elaborated on this.
