[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 1As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110 .

[0025] In this example environment 100, the electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports the creation of a channel. The application 120 may be any suitable type of application for creating a channel, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, content sharing applications, online video applications, live broadcast applications, social applications, or other suitable applications. The user 140 may interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0026] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100 , if the application 120 is active, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 150 for supporting the creation of a channel through the application 120 .

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

[0028] The server 130 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[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 1

[0033] Figures 2A to 2K 200A to 200K according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The interfaces 200A to 200K may be composed of, for example, Figure 1 The electronic device 110 is provided as shown.

[0034] like Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 may provide an interface 200A to the user 140, and the interface 200A may be, for example, a live interface associated with a live event. After presenting the interface 200A, the electronic device 110 may present a media content viewing component 205 in the interface 200A, and the media content viewing component 205 may be configured to present live content associated with the live event.

[0035] In some embodiments, in order to more conveniently enable the current user to interact with the first user (for example, send messages to each other), the electronic device 110 may provide an interactive entry associated with the first user in the live broadcast interface. Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can present an interactive entrance in the interface 200A. Such an interactive entrance can be placed in any appropriate position in the interface 200A, for example, it can be placed in an area where a group of comment contents are located in the live broadcast interface. In some scenarios, the electronic device 110 can also present an interactive entrance in the interface 200A in response to the user's interactive operation on the first comment content in a group of comment contents. The first comment content here is associated with the first user, and the interactive entrance can also be associated with the first user. Such an interactive operation can be, for example, any appropriate operation such as a click operation, a long press operation, etc. on the first comment content.

[0036] In some embodiments, in order to make the live broadcast interface more concise, the electronic device 110 can present the first comment from the first user in the live broadcast interface. Further, the electronic device 110 can present an interactive entrance in the live broadcast interface in response to triggering the first comment.

[0037] As an example, Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can present a public comment component 210 in the interface 200A, and the public comment component 210 includes a group of comments. Such a group of comments can be, for example, interactive information published by a group of users watching the live broadcast for the live broadcast. Such interactive information can, for example, include a group of user's prompts for the like information of the live broadcast, published text information, picture information, or prompt information for giving virtual gifts, etc. A group of comment contents includes at least a first comment content 211, and the first comment 211 is associated with the first user. After the electronic device 110 receives the user 140's interactive operation on the first comment content 211, the electronic device 110 can present an interactive entrance associated with the first comment content 211 in the interface 200A to support the user 140 to send a message to the first user. Such an interactive operation can, for example, be a click operation, a long press operation, or any other appropriate interactive operation by the user 140 on the first comment content 211.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a first interactive panel in response to triggering the first comment. The first interactive panel includes an interactive entry. For example, Figure 2A As shown, after receiving the click of the user 140 on the first comment, the electronic device 110 can present the interactive panel 215 (i.e., the first interactive panel) associated with the first comment. The interactive panel 215 includes a plurality of controls for interacting with the first user. Such controls may include, for example, information viewing controls, like controls, feedback controls, copy controls, and the like. The electronic device 110 may obtain the user 140's interactive request for the first user via these controls, so as to perform an interactive event with the first user based on such an interactive request. Such an interactive event may, for example, be a like on the first comment of the first user, viewing the relevant information of the first user, and the like. After the interactive panel 215 is presented, the electronic device 110 may provide the user 140 with an interactive entry 220 in the interactive panel 215, so as to send a message to the first user via the interactive entry 220.

[0039] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present an interactive entry not only in the interactive panel 215, but also in a viewing panel associated with the first user. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may present a viewing panel associated with the first user in the live broadcast interface in response to receiving a viewing request associated with the first user. Further, the electronic device 110 may present an interactive entry in the viewing panel.

[0040] As an example, Figure 2A and 2B As shown, the electronic device 110 can provide an information viewing control 225 in the interactive panel 215 (i.e., the first interactive panel). When the information viewing control 225 is clicked by the user 140, the electronic device 110 can generate a viewing request based on the click operation. Further, the electronic device can present a viewing panel 230 in the interface 200B in response to the viewing request. The viewing panel 230 includes reference information associated with the first user, such reference information can include, for example, the user ID of the first user, the number of users who follow the first user (also referred to as the number of fans), etc. The viewing panel 230 also includes a plurality of interactive controls that support the user 140 to interact with the first user, such interactive controls can include, for example, a follow control, a feedback control, or any other appropriate control. After the viewing panel 230 is presented, the electronic device 110 can present an interactive portal 235 in the interface 200B. The embodiments of the present disclosure support users to trigger the presentation of interactive portals through different interactive operations. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can effectively improve the presentation efficiency of interactive portals.

[0041] In some scenarios, such as Figure 2C As shown, when the current user is the live broadcaster, the electronic device 110 may present an extension component 240 after receiving an interactive operation of the live broadcaster (i.e., the current user, i.e., user 140) on the first comment 211. The extension component 240 is configured to support the live broadcaster to interact with the first user or adjust the interactive authority of the first user. For example, the electronic device 110 may receive a permission adjustment request from the live broadcaster to the first user via the extension component 240, so that the server 130 can adjust the interactive authority of the first user based on the permission adjustment request. Such an interactive authority adjustment may be, for example, prohibiting the first user from sending comments, etc. After the extension component 240 is presented, the electronic device 110 may provide the live broadcaster with an interactive entry 245 in the extension component 240 for sending a message to the first user.

[0042] Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may provide a plurality of interactive controls to the live broadcaster in the extension component 240, and the interactive controls are used to support the live broadcaster to interact with the first user. Such interactive controls may include, for example, a top control 246, a priority display control 247, a work viewing control 248, and a permission setting control 249. The functions of these interactive controls will be described below.

[0043] In some scenarios, the electronic device 110 may receive a reply message from the live broadcast party to the first comment 211 via the pinned control 246. Furthermore, after sending the reply message to the first user via the pinned control 246, the electronic device 110 may also fix the first comment 211 in the live broadcast interface so that the first comment 211 will not be replaced by comments sent by other users.

[0044] Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may receive a selection of a priority display control 247 by the live broadcast party. After receiving the selection of the priority display control 247 by the live broadcast party, the electronic device 110 may, after receiving the second message, preferentially display the comments associated with the second message on the live broadcast interface, and display the comments associated with the second message in a preset style. Such a preset style may be, for example, a highlight style, a bold style, or any other appropriate style. For example, when the priority display control 247 is selected and the electronic device 110 receives the second message, the electronic device 110 may present the comments associated with the second message in the live broadcast interface in a highlighted style, and fix the comments associated with the second message on the live broadcast interface within a preset period of time.

[0045] Additionally or alternatively, after receiving the live broadcast party's selection of the work viewing control 248, the electronic device 110 may present the first user's work details page in the interface. The work details page includes multiple works published by the first user. Such works include video content, image content, or text content, etc. published by the first user.

[0046] Additionally or alternatively, when the electronic device 110 receives the interactive operation of the live broadcast party on the permission setting control 249, the electronic device 110 may obtain a permission setting request associated with the interactive operation, and send the permission setting request to the server 130 to adjust the first user's permissions in the live broadcast room. Such permissions may include, for example, whether to allow the first user to send comments, whether to allow the first user to watch the live broadcast, whether to receive private chat messages sent by the first user, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, when the interactive portal is presented, the electronic device 110 may receive the first message sent by the user 140 to the first user via the interactive portal, so as to send the first message to the first user. Specifically, the electronic device 110 sends the first message to the first user via the interactive portal. As an example, Figure 2A and 2DAs shown, after receiving the user 140's selection of the interactive portal 220, the electronic device 110 may present the information input panel 250 in the interface 200D. The electronic device 110 may obtain the first message sent by the user 140 to the first user via the information input panel 250. After the first message is obtained by the electronic device 110, the electronic device 110 may send the first message to the first user.

[0048] In some scenarios, in order to enable the user 140 to know the message recipient more clearly, the electronic device 110 may present a reminder element 256 in the interface 200D after the information input panel 250 is presented. The reminder element 256 includes the name and avatar of the first user.

[0049] In some embodiments, after the first message is sent, the electronic device 110 may also present the sent first message in the live broadcast interface. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may send the first message to the first user via the public comment component in the live broadcast interface. The first message in the public comment component is only visible to the first user and the current user. As an example, Figure 2E As shown, the electronic device 110 may receive a first message sent by the user 140 to the first user. Further, the electronic device 110 may send the first message to the first user in response to the message sending request triggered by the user 140, and present the first message 256 at the public comment component 255 in the interface 200E. Although the first message 256 is presented in the public comment component 255, the first message 256 can only be viewed by the user 140 and the first user, and cannot be viewed by other users.

[0050] In some embodiments, in order to better indicate the visible range of the first message, the electronic device 110 may present a prompt element at the area where the first message is located. Specifically, the first message is associated with the prompt element, and the prompt element is used to indicate that the first message is visible to the first user and the current user.

[0051] As an example, Figure 2E As shown, when the first message 256 is presented in the public comment component 255, the electronic device 110 may present a prompt element 257 in the area where the first message 256 is located. The prompt element 257 is used to indicate the visible range of the first message 256, which may be, for example, "This message is visible only to you and user A."

[0052] In some embodiments, after receiving the second message of the first user in response to the first message, the electronic device 110 may present the second message to the user 140 in the live interface. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may present the first message and the second message corresponding to the reply operation in a conversation channel in the live interface in response to the reply operation of the first user to the first message. The conversation channel is created in response to the reply operation of the first user, and the conversation channel is specific to the first user and the current user.

[0053] As an example, Figure 2F As shown, after the first user replies to the first message, the server 130 can determine whether there is a private chat channel (i.e., conversation channel 260) between the first user and user 140 (i.e., the current user). When it is determined that the private chat channel does not exist, the server 130 can create a private chat channel for the first user and user 140 (i.e., the current user) based on the reply operation of the first user, and send the second message associated with the reply operation to the electronic device 110. When the electronic device 110 receives the second message, the conversation channel 260 can be presented in the interface 200F, and the second message can be presented in the conversation channel 260.

[0054] In some embodiments, in order not to affect the user's viewing of the comment content in the live broadcast interface, when the electronic device 110 receives the second message, the electronic device 110 may first present a preset tag in the live broadcast interface. After receiving the user 140's selection of the preset tag, the conversation channel is presented. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may present the preset tag in the live broadcast interface in response to the first user's reply operation to the first message. In addition, the electronic device 110 may present the first element associated with the first channel entrance in response to receiving a new message in the conversation channel.

[0055] As an example, Figure 2G As shown, when the electronic device 110 receives the second message, the electronic device 110 may present a preset label 270 in the interface 200G. The preset label 270 may, for example, be associated with the conversation channel of the message currently received by the electronic device 110. For example, if the electronic device 110 currently receives the second message, the preset label 270 may be associated with the conversation channel associated with the second message (i.e., the private chat channel between the first user and the user 140). The preset label 270 includes preset elements, which may be presented in the style of a "red dot", for example, to indicate that there are unread messages in the conversation channel. In some scenarios, the first element may, for example, be the avatar of the first user to indicate that the second message sent by the first user has been received.

[0056] Further, the electronic device 110 may present a conversation window of the conversation channel in response to triggering the preset tag 270. Figure 2F and 2G As shown, the electronic device 110 can receive a click operation on a preset tag 270 by the user 140. After receiving the click operation on the preset tag 270, the electronic device 110 can present a conversation window 265 associated with the conversation channel. Such a conversation window 265 can be, for example, a first conversation window associated with the current user and the first user. When the conversation window 265 is presented, the electronic device 110 can present the first message and the second message in the conversation window 265 of the conversation channel 260. The conversation window 265 also presents at least one historical message sent by the current user to the first user via the interactive entrance. In some scenarios, when the electronic device 110 receives a message from the first user, the electronic device 110 can present a first element at the channel entrance 275 (i.e., the first channel entrance) in the conversation channel 260. The first element can be, for example, an element with a style of "red dot".

[0057] In some embodiments, when the conversation window 265 is presented, the electronic device 110 may present the first channel entry in the conversation channel 260 in a first style to indicate that the conversation window 265 is associated with the first channel entry. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may display the first channel entry in a first style in response to the conversation window of the conversation channel being presented. The first style indicates that the image logo and text logo of the first user are displayed in the first channel entry. Further, the electronic device 110 may display the first channel entry in a second style in response to the conversation window of the conversation channel being hidden, and the second style indicates that the image logo of the first user is displayed in the first channel entry.

[0058] As an example, Figure 2F As shown, the electronic device 110 may also provide multiple channel entries in the conversation channel 260. The multiple channel entries are associated with different conversation channels, such that the conversation channel may be a private chat channel between the user 140 and the first user and other users (e.g., the second user), or a group chat channel between the user 140 and multiple users. The multiple channel entries in the conversation channel 260 may include, for example, a channel entry 275 and a channel entry 276, wherein the channel entry 275 is associated with the private chat channel between the user 140 and the first user, and the channel entry 276 may be associated with the private chat channel between the user 140 and the second user.

[0059] When the conversation window 265 is presented, the channel entry 275 (i.e., the first channel entry) is in an expanded style (i.e., the first style). The expanded style indicates that the channel entry 275 (i.e., the first channel entry) presents the avatar of the user 140 and the first user (i.e., the image identifier of the first user) and the name of the first user (i.e., the text identifier of the first user). The channel entry 276 is in a collapsed style (i.e., the second style), and the collapsed style indicates that the channel entry 276 only presents the avatar of the second user.

[0060] In some scenarios, such as Figure 2H As shown, after the electronic device 110 receives the user 140's selection of the channel entry 276, the channel entry 275 can be adjusted to a collapsed style (ie, the channel entry 275 only presents the avatar of the first user) and the channel entry 276 can be adjusted to an expanded style.

[0061] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a second element associated with a preset label of the private chat tab in response to receiving a new message in a group of conversation channels associated with the private chat tab. Figure 2H As shown, when the electronic device 110 receives the third message sent by the second user, the electronic device 110 can present the second element at the location of the preset tag 270 in the private chat tab 280. The second element can be presented in the style of a "red dot", for example, and in some scenarios, the second element can also be the avatar of the second user. Such a second element is used to indicate that the electronic device 110 has received a message sent by the second user. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can more clearly remind the user of a new message, thereby giving the user a better interactive experience.

[0062] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may switch the private chat tab to the second conversation window of the second conversation channel where the new message is received in response to a preset operation on the preset tab. Figure 2F and 2H As shown, when the preset tag 270 is selected by the user 140, the electronic device 110 can switch the conversation window 265 in the private chat tab 280 to the second conversation window 285 associated with the second conversation channel. The second conversation window 285 includes the third message sent by the second user, and the historical messages associated with the current user and the second user. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can present the conversation window where the new message is received by selecting the preset tag (for example, after receiving the third message, clicking the preset tag presents the second conversation window associated with the third message), thereby improving the efficiency of information presentation.

[0063] In a scenario where there are unread messages in multiple conversation channels associated with user 140, the electronic device 110 can sort the multiple conversation channels based on the time when the unread messages are received, so that the conversation channel that receives the message last is ranked first. When the preset label 270 is clicked, the electronic device 110 can present a conversation window of the conversation channel that ranks first among the multiple conversation channels. This conversation channel can be, for example, a conversation channel in which the first unread message (i.e., the unread message with the latest reception time) exists among the multiple conversation channels. After the preset label 270 is clicked again, the electronic device 110 can present a conversation window of the conversation channel that ranks second among the multiple conversation channels. The conversation channel ranked second includes a second unread message whose reception time is second only to the first unread message.

[0064] In some embodiments, after the second conversation window is presented, the electronic device 110 may adjust the presentation style of the second channel entry. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may adjust the display style of the second channel entry corresponding to the second conversation channel in response to a preset operation of a preset tag. Figure 2H As shown, when the second conversation window 285 is presented, the electronic device 110 can adjust the state of the channel entry 276 (i.e., the second channel entry) to an expanded style. In other words, when the second conversation window 286 is presented, the electronic device 110 can present the avatars of the current user and the second user, as well as information such as the name of the second user in the channel entry 276.

[0065] In this way, after receiving the reply operation of the first user to the first message, the embodiment of the present disclosure can create a conversation channel between the first user and the current user, thereby improving the efficiency of creating the conversation channel.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] After the first user receives the first message sent by the current user, the first user can reply to the first message. The following will describe the interaction process when the first user replies to the first message.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the terminal device associated with the first user receives the first message, Fig.2I As shown, the terminal device may present the first message 290 in the interface 200I. The first message 290 includes a prompt element 291, which may be used to indicate that the first message 290 is visible only to the first user.

[0069] The terminal device may receive a click of the first user on the first message 290 and present an interactive panel 292 in the interface 200I. The interactive panel 292 includes a plurality of controls that support the first user to interact with the user 140, such controls including at least a reply control 293.

[0070] When the first user clicks the reply control 293, the electronic device 110 may present the following Figure 2J The information input panel 294 is shown. The information input panel 294 is configured to support the first user to reply to the first message. Further, the terminal device can receive a second message from the first user to reply to the first message via the information input panel 294, and send the second message to the electronic device 110 associated with the user 140.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first user may be a live broadcaster associated with the live broadcast event. When the first user is a live broadcaster, after receiving the first user's click on the first message 290, the terminal device may present the following: Figure 2K The interactive panel 295 shown. The interactive panel 295 includes a plurality of interactive controls, such interactive controls can, for example, be used to trigger the live broadcast party to interact with the user 140. For example, the terminal device can receive a permission configuration request for the user 140 via the interactive panel 295. After the terminal device receives the permission configuration request, it can send the permission configuration request to the server 130 to configure the permission of the user 140. Such a permission configuration request can, for example, prohibit the user 140 from sending comments, stop receiving information sent by the user 140, etc.

[0072] After the interactive panel 295 is presented, the terminal device may present a reply control 296 in the interactive panel 295 to send a reply message (ie, a second message) to the user 140 via the reply control 296 .
