[0023] Various example implementations of this solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Sample Environment

[0025] Figure 1 1 shows 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 .

[0026] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports live streaming. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application for live streaming, including, but not limited to, live streaming applications, content sharing applications, online video applications, or other suitable applications. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0027] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100 , if the application 120 is active, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 150 for supporting live broadcasting through the application 120 .

[0028] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable the provision of 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 broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device or any combination thereof, 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.).

[0029] The server 130 may be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting 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 live broadcasting in the electronic device 110.

[0030] A communication connection may be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established in a wired or 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.

[0031] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example Interaction

[0034] Figures 2A to 2D 200A to 200D according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 1 The electronic device 110 is provided as shown.

[0035] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a first prompt message associated with the virtual object in the preview interface of the first live broadcast room. Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can provide a preview interface 200A for the user 140. The electronic device 110 can provide the user 140 with a preview screen of the first live broadcast room in the preview interface 200A.

[0036] The first live broadcast room can be, for example, a voice live broadcast room, which can indicate that multiple participants in the first live broadcast room can conduct voice interaction in the first live broadcast room (e.g., connect to the microphone). When the first live broadcast room is a voice live broadcast room, the electronic device 110 can present the identification information of the multiple participants in the first live broadcast room in the preview interface. The identification information here can include, for example, the avatars and names of the multiple participants. The first live broadcast room can also be, for example, a video live broadcast room. When the first live broadcast room is a video live broadcast room, the electronic device 110 can provide the live broadcast images corresponding to the multiple participants in the first live broadcast room in the preview interface 200A.

[0037] When the virtual object is determined to be in the first live broadcast room, the electronic device 110 may present a first prompt message 205 in the preview interface 200A. The first prompt message 205 indicates that the virtual object is in the first live broadcast room. For example, when the virtual object is determined to be a participant in an interactive event in the first live broadcast room, the electronic device 110 may present the first prompt message 205 in the preview interface 200A.

[0038] In some scenarios, when a virtual object actively joins the first live broadcast room, the electronic device 110 may also present a first prompt message 205 in the preview interface 200A. The virtual object here may be implemented by a model deployed in the cloud. For example, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 An example process 300 of live interaction of some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In box 302, the server 130 can determine whether the current time is within a preset time period. If it is within the preset time period, the server 130 can issue a request to create a virtual object through the virtual object scheduling center. In box 304, the server 130 can obtain the request to create a virtual object through the virtual object scheduling module. Further, the server 130 can schedule multiple preset models through the virtual object scheduling module to generate a virtual object 306. After the virtual object 306 is generated, in box 308, the server 130 can create a virtual object real-time communication instance so that the virtual object can join the first live broadcast room for interaction. In box 310, the server 130 can manage the connection status of the virtual object and the first live broadcast room through the status management module. For example, the server 130 can trigger the virtual object to actively join the first live broadcast room through the status management module.

[0039] Additionally or alternatively, the virtual object and the user 140 may have a certain association relationship, for example. Such an association relationship may be, for example, that the user 140 follows the virtual user corresponding to the virtual object. When the virtual object and the user 140 have an association relationship (such as a follow relationship), the electronic device 110 may present the first prompt message 205 not only in the preview interface 200A, but also in other interfaces. For example, the electronic device 110 may present the first prompt message 205 in the playback interface of the information stream to remind the user 140 through the first prompt message 205 that the virtual object is participating in an interactive event in a live broadcast room when the user 140 is browsing the information stream.

[0040] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 presents the first live broadcast interface of the first live broadcast room in response to the triggering of the first prompt message. Figure 2A and 2BAs shown, when the first prompt message 205 is triggered (e.g., single-clicked or double-clicked), the electronic device 110 may present a first live broadcast interface 200B of the first live broadcast room. The electronic device 110 may present identification information 210 of the first live broadcaster of the first live broadcast room and a visual image 215 of a virtual object in the first live broadcast interface 200B. The identification information 210 may include, for example, an avatar and name of the first live broadcaster. The visual image 215 of the virtual object may be, for example, an avatar associated with the virtual object.

[0041] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 provides interactive content associated with the virtual object. As an example, after the first live interface 200B is presented, the electronic device 110 can provide interactive content associated with the virtual object through the first live interface 200B. Such interactive content can be, for example, interactive messages, audio content, and video content output by the virtual object. As another example, Figure 3 In block 312, the server 130 may stream the interactive content output by the virtual object to the first live broadcast room, so that the electronic device 110 may provide the interactive content associated with the virtual object through the first live broadcast interface 200B.

[0042] In some embodiments, the interactive content is generated based on the first configuration information of the virtual object and the context information associated with the first live broadcast room. Figure 3 As shown, in box 312, the server 130 can obtain the live content of the live broadcast room (for example, the first live broadcast room) through the stream pulling module. The live broadcast content here can be, for example, the audio content and video content in the first live broadcast room. In box 314, the server 130 can use the speaker association module to correspond the audio content and video content in the live broadcast content to different participants. In box 316, the server 130 can separate the human voice from the audio content in the live broadcast content to obtain the human voice content. In box 318, the server 130 can identify the human voice content through the speech recognition module to determine the first text content corresponding to the human voice content. Further, the server 130 can segment the first text content to obtain the second text content.

[0043] In box 320, server 130 can use the audio understanding module to understand the audio content of the first live broadcast room to obtain audio features corresponding to the audio content. In box 322, server 130 can use the video understanding module to understand the video content of the first live broadcast room to obtain video features. In box 324, server 130 can obtain live broadcast room information associated with the first live broadcast room through the live broadcast room service module. The live broadcast room information here may include, for example, interactive messages of the first live broadcast room, live interactive operations, and / or description information of at least one participant. After obtaining the second text content, audio features, video features, and live broadcast room information associated with the first live broadcast room, server 130 can determine the contextual information of the first live broadcast room.

[0044] Further, entering box 326, the server 130 summarizes the obtained content through the input management module and synchronously inputs it into the virtual object 306. After receiving the second text content, audio features, video features and live broadcast room information associated with the first live broadcast room, the virtual object 306 can generate initial interactive content. The initial interactive content here can be, for example, the third text content generated by the virtual object. In box 328, the server 130 can provide the initial interactive content and the first configuration information of the virtual object to the text-to-speech model (Text To Speech, TTS) through the output management module. The first configuration information here can be, for example, the timbre information of the virtual object. In box 330, the text-to-speech model can generate interactive content for the virtual object based on the initial interactive content and the first configuration information. The interactive content here can, for example, indicate audio content including timbre. After obtaining the interactive content, the server 130 can push the interactive content to the first live broadcast room through the push stream module.

[0045] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can generate interactive content based on the first configuration information and context information, thereby improving the quality of the generated interactive content, thereby providing users with a better experience of watching live broadcasts.

[0046] In some embodiments, when a virtual object exits a live broadcast room, electronic device 110 may provide first content indicating that the virtual object has exited the live broadcast room. Specifically, electronic device 110 may provide first content associated with the virtual object in the first live broadcast interface in response to an exit condition associated with the virtual object being met. The first content indicates that the virtual object is about to exit the first live broadcast room. The exit condition includes at least one of the virtual object's interaction duration in the first live broadcast room reaching a preset duration and the end of a live interactive event in the first live broadcast room.

[0047] As an example, Figure 2BAs shown, when the exit condition associated with the virtual object is met, the electronic device 110 can provide the first content in the first live broadcast interface 200B. The first content indicates that the virtual object is about to exit the first live broadcast room. The first content can be, for example, audio content or video content generated by the virtual object. For example, when the virtual object's interaction time in the first live broadcast room reaches a preset time (e.g., 5 minutes), the virtual object will exit the first live broadcast room and output the first content. The electronic device 110 can then provide farewell content in the first live broadcast interface 200B.

[0048] In some scenarios, when the live interactive event in the first live broadcast room ends, the electronic device 110 may also provide the first content in the first live broadcast interface 200B. The end of the live interactive event here may be, for example, the end of the live broadcast of the first live broadcast room, or the end of the topic discussed in the first live broadcast room. For example, the virtual object may obtain the initial topic discussed in the first live broadcast room before entering the first live broadcast room. Furthermore, after entering the first live broadcast room, the virtual object may determine the current topic discussed in the first live broadcast room through the automatic speech recognition model (ASR). Finally, when the virtual object determines that the correlation between the current topic and the initial topic does not meet the first threshold, it may be determined that the initial topic has ended, thereby exiting the first live broadcast room.

[0049] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide the first content indicating that the virtual object is about to leave when the virtual object leaves the first live broadcast room, so that the user can know in time that the virtual object is about to exit, thereby improving the efficiency of the user in obtaining information associated with the virtual object.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a second prompt message in the first live interface in response to the virtual object switching to be associated with the second live room. Further, the electronic device 110 may present a second live interface of the second live room in response to triggering the second prompt message.

[0051] As an example, Figure 2C and 2DAs shown, when the virtual object exits the first live broadcast room and enters the second live broadcast room, the electronic device 110 can present a second prompt message 220 in the first live broadcast interface 200C. The second prompt message 220 can, for example, indicate that the virtual object has entered the second live broadcast room. When the second prompt message 220 is triggered (for example, single-clicked or double-clicked), the electronic device 110 can present a second live broadcast interface 200D of the second live broadcast room. The electronic device 110 can present a visual image 225 of the virtual object in the second live broadcast interface 200D. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure support users to enter other live broadcast rooms through the second prompt message of the virtual object (for example, a jump message), thereby improving the efficiency of users switching live broadcast rooms, thereby improving the efficiency of users' interaction during the live broadcast.

[0052] In some embodiments, the virtual object can proactively join the first live broadcast room. Specifically, server 130 can obtain reference information associated with multiple candidate live broadcast rooms. Furthermore, server 130 can determine the first live broadcast room to join from the multiple candidate live broadcast rooms based on the reference information and the second configuration information of the virtual object. The reference information includes at least one of the candidate live broadcast room's live broadcast summary, the candidate live broadcast room's interactive information, and the candidate live broadcast room's type information.

[0053] As an example, before the virtual object is added to the first live broadcast room, the server 130 can obtain reference information of multiple candidate live broadcast rooms. Such reference information includes the live broadcast summary, interaction information and type information of the candidate live broadcast room. The interaction information here can, for example, indicate the popularity information of the candidate live broadcast room, and the popularity information indicates the number of interactions of the candidate live broadcast room within a preset time period. For example, the popularity information can indicate the number of comments, the number of clicks, the number of views, etc. of the candidate live broadcast room within a week. The type information can, for example, indicate the vertical category of the candidate live broadcast room, and such vertical categories can include, for example, beauty type, technology type, food type, etc. The process of determining the summary information of the candidate live broadcast room will be described later, and this disclosure will not go into too much detail here.

[0054] After obtaining reference information of multiple candidate live broadcast rooms, the electronic device 110 can determine a first live broadcast room for the virtual object to join from the multiple candidate live broadcast rooms based on the reference information and the second configuration information of the virtual object. The second configuration information here can, for example, indicate the live broadcast type, live broadcast theme, etc. that the virtual object prefers.

[0055] In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the first live broadcast room based on the reference information of multiple candidate live broadcast rooms and the second configuration information of the virtual object, so that the first live broadcast room can be determined more accurately and the virtual object can actively join the first live broadcast room.

[0056] In some embodiments, the server 130 may obtain the live broadcast content of the candidate live broadcast room within a preset time period. Furthermore, the server 130 may generate a live broadcast summary corresponding to the candidate live broadcast room based on the live broadcast content. As an example, the server 130 may obtain the live broadcast content of the candidate live broadcast room within a preset time period. After the live broadcast content is obtained, the server 130 may provide the live broadcast content to a speech recognition model (Automatic Speech Recognition, ASR) to obtain speech recognition content. Furthermore, the server 130 may provide the speech recognition content to a language model to summarize the factual chat content of the candidate live broadcast room through the language model and generate a live broadcast summary of the candidate live broadcast room.

[0057] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can generate a live broadcast summary based on the live broadcast content of the live broadcast room, thereby generating a more accurate live broadcast summary.

[0058] In some embodiments, server 130 may determine evaluation information for multiple candidate live broadcast rooms based on the reference information and the second configuration information of the virtual object. Furthermore, server 130 may determine a first live broadcast room from the multiple candidate live broadcast rooms based on the evaluation information. The evaluation information includes a first evaluation, a second evaluation, and a third evaluation. The first evaluation indicates the degree of match between the second configuration information and the topic of the candidate live broadcast room. The second evaluation is determined based on the quality of the topic. The third evaluation is determined based on the interactive information of the candidate live broadcast room.

[0059] As an example, after the reference information is obtained, the server 130 can determine the topic discussed in the candidate live broadcast room based on the reference information. Further, the server 130 can determine the personality information of the virtual object based on the second configuration information. The personality information here can, for example, indicate the type and theme of the live broadcast that the virtual object likes to watch. For example, the personality information can indicate that the virtual object likes to watch live broadcasts on beauty themes and discuss beauty topics with other users. After the topic of the candidate live broadcast room and the personality information of the virtual object are determined, the server 130 can determine the degree of match between the topic of the candidate live broadcast room and the personality information of the virtual object to determine the first evaluation.

[0060] After obtaining the topic of the candidate live broadcast room, the server 130 can provide the topic to an appropriate model (e.g., a language model) to determine a second evaluation indicating the quality of the topic of the candidate live broadcast room. The server 130 can also determine the interactive information of the candidate live broadcast room based on the reference information of the candidate live broadcast room. The interactive information here can, for example, indicate the popularity information of the candidate live broadcast room. After the interactive information (e.g., popularity information) is determined, the server 130 can determine the third evaluation. For example, the server 130 can determine the third evaluation based on the popularity of the candidate live broadcast room, and the higher the popularity, the lower the third evaluation.

[0061] Furthermore, server 130 can determine the evaluation information of the candidate live broadcast rooms based on the first evaluation, the second evaluation, and the third evaluation. After the evaluation information of multiple candidate live broadcast rooms is determined, server 130 can determine the first live broadcast room from the multiple candidate live broadcast rooms based on the evaluation information. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can determine the first live broadcast room based on the evaluation information, thereby making the determined first live broadcast room more accurate.

[0062] In some embodiments, the server 130 may determine the interaction order associated with multiple candidate live broadcast rooms based on the evaluation information. Further, the server 130 may determine the first live broadcast room based on the interaction order. As an example, when the evaluation information is determined, the server 130 may determine the interaction order of multiple candidate live broadcast rooms based on the evaluation information. The interaction order here indicates the order in which virtual objects enter the candidate live broadcast rooms and interact. When the interaction order is determined, the server 130 may instruct the virtual objects to join multiple candidate live broadcast rooms in sequence based on the interaction order to interact in multiple candidate live broadcast rooms. The first live broadcast room here may be, for example, the candidate live broadcast room that ranks first in the interaction order. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure may determine the first live broadcast room based on the interaction order, so that virtual objects can be added to different live broadcast rooms in sequence, thereby providing users with a richer viewing experience when watching live broadcasts.

[0063] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a first prompt message associated with a virtual object in the preview interface of the first live broadcast room, thereby allowing users to more conveniently obtain information associated with the virtual object, thereby improving the efficiency of information acquisition. Furthermore, embodiments of the present disclosure can present the first live broadcast interface of the first live broadcast room after the first prompt message associated with the virtual object is triggered, thereby allowing users to more conveniently join the first live broadcast room and obtain information associated with the first live broadcast room, thereby further improving the efficiency of users in obtaining information.

[0064] Example Process

[0065] Figure 4 FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating an example process 400 for live broadcasting according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 400 may be implemented at the electronic device 110. Figure 1 4. The process 400 is described below.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in box 410, the electronic device 110 presents a first prompt message associated with the virtual object in the preview interface of the first live broadcast room.

[0067] In box 420, the electronic device 110 presents the first live broadcast interface of the first live broadcast room in response to triggering the first prompt message.

[0068] At block 430 , the electronic device 110 provides interactive content associated with the virtual object.

[0069] In some embodiments, process 400 further includes: in response to an exit condition associated with the virtual object being satisfied, providing first content associated with the virtual object in the first live broadcast interface, the first content indicating that the virtual object is about to exit the first live broadcast room.

[0070] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide the first content indicating that the virtual object is about to leave when the virtual object leaves the first live broadcast room, so that the user can know in time that the virtual object is about to exit, thereby improving the efficiency of the user in obtaining information associated with the virtual object.

[0071] In some embodiments, the exit condition includes at least one of the following: the interaction time of the virtual object in the first live broadcast room reaches a preset time; the end of the live broadcast interaction event in the first live broadcast room.

[0072] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can trigger the virtual object to exit the live broadcast room through multiple exit conditions, so that the virtual object does not affect the normal live broadcast process of the live broadcast party, thereby providing users with a better live broadcast experience.

[0073] In some embodiments, process 400 further includes: presenting a second prompt message in the first live interface in response to the virtual object switching to be associated with the second live room; and presenting a second live interface of the second live room in response to triggering the second prompt message.
