[0022] Example Environment

[0023] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the example environment 100 may include a terminal device 110.

[0024] In this example environment 100, the terminal device 110 may run an application 120 for providing and watching live broadcasts. The application 120 may be any suitable type of application for providing and watching live broadcasts, examples of which may include, but are not limited to: online video applications, live broadcast applications. The user 140 may interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 110 and / or its attached devices. The user 140 may be any suitable user, for example, a management user who creates a live interactive event (which may also be referred to as a host user, a live broadcaster, or a management party), an audience user, a listener user, a viewer, or a participant, etc.

[0025] In Figure 1 the environment 100, if the application 120 is active, the terminal device 110 may present a live broadcast interface 150 through the application 120.

[0026] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 communicates with a server 130 to implement the supply of services for the application 120. The server 150 may provide functions such as management, configuration, and maintenance of applications or websites.

[0027] The terminal device 110 may be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, handheld computers, portable game terminals, VR / AR devices, Personal Communication System (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), audio / video players, digital cameras / cameras, positioning devices, television receivers, radio broadcast receivers, e-book devices, game devices, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also support any type of user interface (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0028] The server 130 can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or a 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 delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 130 can include, for example, a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and so on.

[0029] A communication connection can be established between the server 130 and the terminal device 110. The communication connection can be established by wired or wireless means. The communication connection can 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 regard. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the terminal device 110 can implement signaling interaction through the communication connection therebetween.

[0030] It should be understood that the structures and functions of the various elements in the environment 100 are described only for exemplary purposes, without implying any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0031] Various example implementations of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0032] Example Process

[0033] The following will refer to Figures 2A through 2J to describe an example interaction process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figures 2A through 2J Example configuration interfaces 200A to 200J for a live event are shown according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Such example configuration interfaces can be implemented by a suitable terminal device 110 or a combination of terminal devices 110 (e.g., Figure 1 the terminal device 110, the server 130, or a combination of one or more of these devices) in

[0034] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can present as Figure 2AThe configuration interface 200A associated with the live event shown. The live event can be an interactive event joined by at least one participant who has joined a predetermined live broadcast room during the live broadcast. As an example, the live event can be a live broadcast by the host, or a co-hosting event in the live broadcast room, a competition event in the live broadcast room, etc. Such at least one participant can include the host user, and can also include multiple host users, and can also include the host user and non-host users (such as guest users), etc. In some embodiments, the live event can correspond to any suitable type of interactive activity, such as an interactive activity of the singing type, an interactive activity of the game type, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0035] For Figure 2A As an example, the terminal device 110 can present a set of live broadcast tools in the configuration interface 200A. For example, the terminal device 110 can present tool 1, tool 2, tool 3, tool 4, activity tool 201, etc. in the configuration interface 200A.

[0036] This set of live broadcast tools can correspond to any suitable live broadcast setting function. For example, based on tool 1, the connection function of each participant during the live broadcast can be set, and based on activity tool 201, the activity during the live broadcast can be set.

[0037] In some embodiments, the activity is characterized by a set of preset gameplay, rules, and processes designed for the live broadcast. The live broadcast can be of any suitable type, such as a game live broadcast. Taking the live broadcast as a game live broadcast as an example, the activity can be associated with a certain game theme or game story in the game scenario. For example, a certain activity can indicate being associated with the game theme of building blocks. When conducting a game live broadcast based on this activity, the host can build blocks to play the game.

[0038] For example, a certain activity can indicate that the live broadcast process is divided into three links, namely the opening introduction, the game link, and the ending link. The opening introduction can last for 5 minutes, and during this link, the host can introduce today's challenge tasks and rules. The game link can last for 30 minutes, and during this link, the host can play the game, and the audience can interact through bullet screens. The ending link can last for 5 minutes, and during this link, the host can summarize the content of the live broadcast and thank the audience for their participation, etc.

[0039] In some embodiments, this set of live broadcast tools can be presented in any suitable area of the configuration interface 200A, such as the right area of the configuration interface 200A.

[0040] To ensure that users can clearly understand the relevant information of the event and improve the information transmission efficiency, in some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can respond to the selection of the event tool 201, and if the event tool 201 is selected for the first time, the terminal device 110 can present the information page 202 in the interface 200A. Such an information page 202 can be in any appropriate form, such as an independent interface, an integrated display area, a floating window, etc. Such an information page 202 can be used to present the event guide corresponding to the event, etc. In some embodiments, the event guide can indicate how to use the event (such as the templates and customizations shown in the interface 200A), the relevance between the event and the live broadcast (such as the content planning and organization shown in the interface 200A), the interactive effects that the event can bring (such as the enhanced interaction shown in the interface 200A), and so on.

[0041] In some embodiments, the content planning and organization can indicate each link during the live broadcast and the allocated time corresponding to each link, the interactive content corresponding to each link, and so on.

[0042] In some embodiments, the enhanced interaction can indicate the interactive links set during the live broadcast, and the interactive links can correspond to any appropriate interactive form, such as question-and-answer interaction, voting interaction, gift-giving interaction, etc., to increase the audience's participation.

[0043] In some embodiments, the templates and customizations can indicate that multiple preset event templates can be provided for users to choose from, and these multiple preset event templates can be applicable to different live broadcast scenarios and themes.

[0044] Further, the terminal device 110 can respond to receiving a confirmation operation input by the user (such as clicking the start control 204 shown in the interface 200A) and present the configuration interface 200B as shown in Figure 2B shown.

[0045] To avoid redundant presentation of information and improve the user experience, in some other embodiments, the terminal device 110 can respond to receiving the selection of the event tool 201 by the user, and if the event tool 201 is not selected for the first time, it does not present the information page 202 (not shown in the figure) as shown in Figure 2A in the configuration interface 200A, but directly presents the configuration interface 200B as shown in Figure 2B shown.

[0046] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can present a group of candidate events (such as Event 1, Event 2, Event 3, and Event 4) in the configuration interface 200B for the user to choose from. This group of candidate events can also be presented in the information page 202.

[0047] For the convenience of user selection, in some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may also present the target information associated with this group of candidate activities in the information page 202. The target information may be any appropriate information, such as the activity type, the number of times the activity has been used, the gameplay information of the activity, and so on.

[0048] In some embodiments, the activity type may be any appropriate type, such as an interaction focus type and a game focus type. The interaction focus type indicates that the activity pays more attention to interaction during the live broadcast, and the host needs to maintain the atmosphere of the live broadcast room through frequent interaction during the live broadcast. The game focus type indicates that the activity pays more attention to game operations during the live broadcast, and the host needs to pay more attention to the game itself.

[0049] For Figure 2B as an example, the terminal device 110 may present the gameplay information 205-1 corresponding to activity 1, the number of times the activity has been used 205-3, the activity type 205-2, etc. in the interface 200B.

[0050] To save display space and avoid the transmission of redundant information, the terminal device 110 may present the used activities and the unused activities in different presentation forms in the configuration interface. Among them, the first presentation style corresponding to the used activities occupies less display space than the second presentation style corresponding to the unused activities.

[0051] That is to say, when the user has not used any activities, the terminal device 110 may respond to receiving a selection of the activity tool 201 (the activity tool 201 is not selected for the first time but no activities have been used) or respond to receiving a selection of the start control 204, and present the configuration interface 200B as Figure 2B shown. When the user has used some activities, the terminal device 110 may respond to receiving a selection of the activity tool 201 and present the configuration interface 200C as Figure 2C shown.

[0052] For Figure 2C as an example, the terminal device 110 may present the used activities in the first area 230 of the configuration interface 200C and present the unused activities in the second area 231.

[0053] Specifically, since the used activities may already be familiar to the user, therefore Figure 2C as an example, the terminal device 110 may only present the identification information corresponding to the most recently used activities 5 and 6 in the first area 230. Exemplarily, such identification information may include, but is not limited to: the name of the activity and the image identification corresponding to the activity (such as an image that can represent the type of the activity).

[0054] To let users know about unused activities, in addition to presenting the identification information corresponding to unused activities 1, 2, and 3 in the second area 231, the terminal device 110 can also present information such as the number of times activities 1, 2, and 3 have been used by other users, the types of activities, and the gameplay corresponding to the activities. Exemplarily, such identification information may include, but is not limited to, the name of the activity and the image identification corresponding to the activity (such as an image that can represent the type of the activity).

[0055] Further, the terminal device 110 can present the configuration interface 200D as shown in Figure 2D in response to the selection of activity 3 (the first activity) in this group of candidate activities. The configuration interface 200D can be a detail interface associated with activity 3, which can be used to present the description information corresponding to activity 3. In some embodiments, the description information can indicate the specific gameplay or specific activity rules corresponding to activity 3.

[0056] Taking Figure 2D as an example, the description information that the terminal device 110 can present in the configuration interface 200D may include information 241, information 242, information 243, information 244, etc. Information 241 can be used to prompt the user to set a corresponding live theme for the live event. Specifically, information 241 can also include the default theme set for the live event (such as Figure 2D shown as "Live Marathon Challenge"). Information 242 can be used to prompt the user that they can set rules associated with the countdown for the live event to determine the live duration of the live event. Information 243 can be used to prompt the user that they can set corresponding interactive activities for the live event. Specifically, information 243 can also include the default interactive activity set for the live event (such as Figure 2D shown as the prediction game about "Will I win this round?"). Information 244 can be used to prompt the user that they can choose to invite other hosts to co-host.

[0057] Further, the user can click on the control 245 to indicate that they already know the relevant content of activity 3. At this time, the terminal device 110 can receive the confirmation operation for the description information. Further, the terminal device 110 can present the configuration interface 200E as shown in Figure 2E in response to receiving the determination operation for the description information of activity 3.

[0058] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can present the configuration process 260 in the configuration interface 200E. The configuration process 260 can also be presented in the information page 202.

[0059] In some embodiments, the configuration process may include multiple configuration items. These multiple configuration items may be used to configure multiple contents associated with a live event. These multiple contents may be of any type, such as visual elements presented in the live video, the duration of the live broadcast, interactive activities conducted during the live broadcast, parties that can interact during the live broadcast, and so on.

[0060] In some embodiments, these multiple configuration items may include at least one of the following: a theme configuration item, a duration configuration item, an activity configuration item, and a party configuration item. Each configuration item may be used to configure at least one content associated with a live event.

[0061] In some embodiments, the theme configuration item may be used to configure a theme description associated with a live event, and the theme description may be presented at any appropriate position in the live interface. In some embodiments, the duration configuration item may be used to configure the live duration corresponding to a live event. In some embodiments, the activity configuration item may be used to configure interactive activities associated with at least one party in a live event. In some embodiments, the party configuration item may be used to configure the parties participating in a live event.

[0062] For Figure 2E example, the terminal device 110 may present a theme configuration item 261, a duration configuration item 262, an activity configuration item 263, and a party configuration item 264 on the information page 202.

[0063] In some embodiments, these multiple configuration items correspond to a predetermined configuration order. For Figure 2E example, the predetermined configuration order may be, from front to back, configuration item 261, configuration item 262, configuration item 263, and configuration item 264, that is, this configuration order may indicate that the user configures configuration item 261, configuration item 262, configuration item 263, and configuration item 264 in sequence.

[0064] In some embodiments, for a certain or some of these multiple configuration items, editable parameters may be presented corresponding to them. For each configuration item, the configuration item may include one editable parameter, or may also include multiple editable parameters.

[0065] For example, the configuration item 261 may include the editable parameter "Live Marathon Challenge". For another example, the configuration item 262 may include three editable parameters: "2 hours 20 minutes 20 seconds", "20", and "10". For another example, the configuration item 263 may include the editable parameter "Will I win this round?".

[0066] To highlight the differences between these editable parameters and other non-editable content in the configuration items and improve the efficiency of information transmission, the terminal device 110 can present the editable parameters in the configuration items in a predetermined form. For example, an underline can be set for the editable parameters (such as "Live Marathon Challenge" presented in the information page 202), or the editable parameters can be displayed in bold, etc.

[0067] In some embodiments, at least one parameter among the multiple configuration items can be determined based on the description information corresponding to Activity 3. Figure 2D and Figure 2E As an example, Figure 2E the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" in the configuration item 261 presented in the interface 200E shown can be determined based on Figure 2D the default live theme (Live Marathon Challenge) corresponding to the information 241 presented in the interface 200D shown.

[0068] To improve the editing efficiency, the terminal device 110 can provide the ability to quickly edit parameters to support users in quickly editing the parameters in the configuration items.

[0069] For example, the user can click on the parameter "2 hours 20 minutes 20 seconds" in the configuration item 262, so that the terminal device 110 can present an editing panel in response to the trigger of the parameter "2 hours 20 minutes 20 seconds" in the configuration item 262. Then the user can edit the parameter "2 hours 20 minutes 20 seconds" based on the editing panel, so that the parameter "2 hours 20 minutes 20 seconds" in the configuration item 262 can be updated to any other appropriate parameter, such as "2 hours".

[0070] For another example, the user can click on the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" so that the terminal device 110 can present the configuration interface 200F as shown in Figure 2F response to the trigger of the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" in the configuration item 261. In some embodiments, the interface 200F can present an editing panel 270.

[0071] To highlight the editability of parameters and improve the information transmission efficiency, in some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may present the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" in a first style in the edit panel 270. The first style indicates that the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" is allowed to be edited. The first style can be any appropriate style. For example, an underline can be set for the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" (such as "Live Marathon Challenge" presented in the edit panel), or the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" can be bolded, or an edit element can be presented at a relevant position of the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" to indicate that the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" is editable, and so on.

[0072] In other embodiments, to achieve fine editing of parameters, in addition to providing the ability to quickly edit parameters, the terminal device 110 can also provide the ability for detailed editing. For Figure 2E example, the terminal device 110 may present a component 281 associated with the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" in the information page 202. Further, the terminal device 110 may present an interface 200G as Figure 2G shown in response to the component 281 being triggered. Further, the terminal device 110 may present a panel 290 in the interface 200G.

[0073] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may present a control (a first control) corresponding to "Edit More" and a selection control corresponding to "Reset" in the panel 290. Further, the terminal device 110 may present a configuration panel 283 as Figure 2H shown in response to the control corresponding to "Edit More" being triggered. Configuration tools related to the first parameter may be presented in the configuration panel 283. The configuration tools can be any appropriate tools, such as configuration tools associated with styles, or other configuration tools.

[0074] It should be noted that the configuration panel 283 can support additional edit operations associated with the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge", such as style adjustment operations. While the edit panel 270 does not support additional edit operations associated with the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" and can only provide simple edit operations, such as editing the text corresponding to the parameter.

[0075] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may present a set of editing components (configuration tools) associated with the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" in the configuration panel 283 to ensure that it can not only edit the text content corresponding to this parameter (for example, based on the text editing component 288-1 for editing the text corresponding to the parameter), but also support more detailed editing of the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" other than the content. As an example, the text editing component 288-1 may support changing "Live Marathon Challenge" to "Marathon Challenge".

[0076] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may also present a set of editing components in the tool panel, and this set of editing components may indicate more detailed editing of the parameter. This set of editing components includes the editing component 288-2 corresponding to the font style, the editing component 288-3 corresponding to the font, and the editing component 288-4 corresponding to the font size. This set of editing components may be editing components for adjusting the style of the visual elements corresponding to the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" in the live interface. For example, the editing component 288-2 corresponding to the font style may be used to adjust the font style, such as supporting changing the Song typeface to the Kai typeface, etc.

[0077] In some embodiments, a preview interface of the visual elements corresponding to the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" may also be presented in the tool panel 283, and this preview interface may be used to display the visual elements corresponding to the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" in the corresponding style. The terminal device 110 may present the preview effect of the visual elements corresponding to this parameter in the preview interface in response to receiving a predetermined operation.

[0078] For Figure 2I As an example, if the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" is changed to "Marathon Challenge", the terminal device 110 may present the updated parameter "Marathon Challenge" in the configuration item 261 in the interface 200I. Further, the terminal device 110 may present the panel 290 in response to the component 281 being triggered, and controls corresponding to "Edit More" and selection controls corresponding to "Reset" may be presented in the panel 290. Further, the terminal device 110 may update the parameter "Marathon Challenge" to the parameter "Live Marathon Challenge" (predetermined initial parameter) in response to the selection control corresponding to "Reset" being triggered, and the predetermined initial parameter may be a default parameter, such as an initial parameter determined based on the description information of Activity 3.

[0079] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may set corresponding application controls for each configuration item. For Figure 2IAs an example, the terminal device 110 can present a corresponding application control 299 (second application control) for the configuration item 261. Further, the terminal device 110 can apply the configuration item 261 to the live event in response to the application control 299 being selected. Specifically, the configuration information corresponding to the parameter "Marathon Challenge" can be applied to the live event. For example, the text corresponding to "Marathon Challenge" can be presented in the live interface 277.

[0080] Back to Figure 2E , the terminal device 110 can present a set of candidate parameters (not shown in the figure) in the editing panel in response to the triggering of the parameter "Will I win this round?" in the configuration item 263. This set of candidate parameters can be parameters of the same type corresponding to the parameter "Will I win this round?". Taking the parameter "Will I win this round?" corresponding to the interactive game in the live event as an example, this set of candidate parameters can be other interactive games except the interactive game "Will I win this round?".

[0081] Further, the terminal device 110 can update the parameter "Will I win this round?" in the first configuration item to the second parameter in response to receiving the selection of the parameter "Like Competition" (second parameter) in a set of candidate parameters.

[0082] Taking Figure 2E As an example, for the configuration item 264, the terminal device 110 can present the application control 298-1 (first application control) corresponding to the configuration item 264 in the information page 202. Further, the terminal device 110 can apply the predetermined configuration information (second configuration information) of starting to co-host with other anchors to the live event in response to the application control 298-1 being selected (such as the user clicking on the application control 298-1).

[0083] Taking Figure 2J As an example, the user can adjust the configuration interface 202 based on a predetermined operation. For example, the user can adjust the configuration interface by dragging the information page 202 in the configuration interface to a predetermined position. At this time, the terminal device 110 can receive an interface adjustment operation for the configuration interface. At this time, the display area corresponding to the message page 202 is reduced.

[0084] To avoid the transmission of redundant information and improve the efficiency of interaction, the terminal device 110 can stop presenting the first configuration item applied to the live event in the configuration interface in response to the interface adjustment operation for the configuration interface, that is, only present the configuration items not applied to the live event in the configuration interface, and do not present the configuration items that have been applied to the live event. Specifically, the terminal device 110 can only present the configuration items not applied to the live event in the information page 202, and do not present the configuration items that have been applied to the live event.

[0085] In some embodiments, since the configuration items 261, 262, 263, and 264 correspond to a predetermined configuration order, the terminal device 110 may preferentially present the configuration items with a higher order in the configuration order when the content that can be presented on the information page 202 is limited.

[0086] As an example, taking the case where the information page 202 can only present one configuration item and the configuration item 261 is applied to the live event, the terminal device 110 may present, in the configuration interface, the configuration item 262 that is not applied to the live event and is behind the configuration item 261 in the order.

[0087] Based on this manner, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide users with a quick parameter modification operation based on the configuration interface, effectively improving the management efficiency of live events. In addition, the configuration process and the multiple configuration items included in the configuration process are presented in the configuration interface of the present disclosure, which helps users intuitively understand how to set up a live event and also improves the management efficiency of live events.

[0088] Example Process

[0089] Figure 3 The flowchart of a process 300 for live broadcast according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The process 300 may be implemented at the terminal device 110. The following refers to Figure 1 Describe the process 300.

[0090] In block 310, the terminal device 110 presents a configuration process in the configuration interface for a live event, and the configuration process includes multiple configuration items.

[0091] In block 320, the terminal device 110 presents an editing panel in response to the triggering of a first parameter in a first configuration item among the multiple configuration items.

[0092] In block 330, the terminal device 110 updates the first parameter in the first configuration item to a second parameter via the editing panel.

[0093] In block 340, the terminal device 110 applies the first configuration information corresponding to the first configuration item to the live event in response to receiving a request associated with the first configuration item, and the first configuration information at least indicates the second parameter.

[0094] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide users with a quick parameter modification operation based on the configuration interface, effectively improving the management efficiency of live events. In addition, the configuration process and the multiple configuration items included in the configuration process are presented in the configuration interface of the present disclosure, which helps users intuitively understand how to set up a live event and also improves the management efficiency of live events.

[0095] In some embodiments, process 300 further includes:

[0096] presenting a first parameter in a first style in an editing panel, the first style indicating that the first parameter is allowed to be edited.

[0097] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can present the first parameter by using a specific first style, which can intuitively convey to the user that the parameter can be edited, improving the efficiency and accuracy of user interaction and the information transmission efficiency.

[0098] In some embodiments, updating the first parameter in the first configuration item to a second parameter via the editing panel includes: presenting a set of candidate parameters in the editing panel; and in response to receiving a selection of the second parameter in the set of candidate parameters, updating the first parameter in the first configuration item to the second parameter.

[0099] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can present a set of candidate parameters in the editing panel. The user does not need to manually input or memorize parameter values, and only needs to select the required option from the candidate parameters to complete the update, effectively improving the editing and interaction efficiency.

[0100] In some embodiments, the multiple configuration items include a second configuration item, the second configuration item indicating predetermined second configuration information, and process 300 further includes: presenting a first application control corresponding to the second configuration item in a configuration interface; and in response to the first application control being selected, applying the second configuration information corresponding to the second configuration item to the live event.

[0101] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a first application control for the second configuration item in the configuration interface. The user can directly select the control to quickly apply the second configuration information to the live event. This direct operation method reduces the steps that the user needs to perform during the configuration process, improving the convenience and efficiency of configuration.

[0102] In some embodiments, the multiple configuration items at least include at least one of the following: a theme configuration item for configuring a theme description associated with the live event; a duration configuration item for configuring the live duration corresponding to the live event; an activity configuration item for configuring an interactive activity associated with at least one participant in the live event; and a participant configuration item for configuring participants involved in the live event.

[0103] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can comprehensively cover the key elements of the live event by introducing the theme configuration item, the duration configuration item, the activity configuration item, and the participant configuration item.

[0104] In some embodiments, process 300 further includes: presenting a configuration panel corresponding to a configuration tool related to a first parameter in response to a first control associated with the first parameter in a configuration interface being triggered.

[0105] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can ensure that the user directly enters the configuration panel for editing operations after triggering the first control, and this intuitive process design can effectively improve the configuration efficiency.

[0106] In some embodiments, the configuration panel supports additional editing operations associated with the first parameter, and the editing panel does not support additional editing operations.

[0107] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can provide hierarchical editing functions, improving the flexibility of editing.

[0108] In some embodiments, the additional editing operation includes style editing of visual elements corresponding to the first parameter in a live interface.

[0109] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can optimize the visual elements of the live interface through style editing, enhancing the overall quality of the live broadcast.

[0110] In some embodiments, the second parameter is a predetermined initial parameter, and updating the first parameter in the first configuration item to the second parameter via the editing panel includes: updating the first parameter to a preset second parameter in response to receiving a reset operation on the first parameter via the editing panel.

[0111] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can reset parameters through a shortcut, effectively improving the efficiency of parameter reset.

[0112] In some embodiments, process 300 further includes: stopping presenting the first configuration item applied to a live event in the configuration interface in response to an interface adjustment operation on the configuration interface.

[0113] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can effectively avoid the presentation of redundant information.

[0114] In some embodiments, process 300 further includes: presenting a second application control corresponding to the first configuration item in the configuration interface; and applying the first configuration item to a live event in response to the second application control being selected.

[0115] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can quickly apply the configuration item to a live event by providing an application control, improving the configuration efficiency.

[0116] In some embodiments, process 300 further includes: presenting a set of candidate activities in a configuration interface; and in response to receiving a selection of a first activity from the set of candidate activities, presenting a configuration process associated with the first activity.

[0117] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a set of candidate activities for users to select, which can improve the efficiency of interaction.

[0118] In some embodiments, presenting a set of candidate activities in a configuration interface includes: presenting a set of management tools corresponding to a live event in the configuration interface; and in response to receiving a selection of an activity tool from the set of management tools, presenting a set of candidate activities.

[0119] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can centrally present a set of management tools corresponding to a live event in the configuration interface, enabling users to quickly find and use the required tools. This centralized presentation method eliminates the need for users to search for function entries in complex menus or multiple pages, significantly improving the operation efficiency.

[0120] In some embodiments, presenting a configuration process in a configuration interface for a live event includes: in response to a selection of a first activity, presenting description information corresponding to the first activity; and in response to receiving a confirmation operation on the description information, presenting a configuration process in the configuration interface based on the description information, where at least one parameter of multiple configuration items included in the configuration process is determined based on the description information.

[0121] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can determine at least one parameter in the configuration process based on the description information of the first activity, improving the configuration efficiency.
