[0023] As briefly mentioned above, a live interactive event can be a competition activity of multiple participants within a predetermined time length. However, according to a traditional method, a user managing the countdown needs to manually perform the countdown. In addition, for some participants, they can not only participate in one competition activity, but can participate in multiple competition activities. If the interactive value is directly incremented, a user watching the live interactive event cannot intuitively compare the competition results of the participants.

[0024] To this end, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for live interaction. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, based on a setting operation for a target activity in a live interactive event, time information associated with the target activity is presented in a live interface associated with the live interactive event, the live interactive event being associated with multiple participants; in response to the target activity starting, a timing process corresponding to the time information is started; and during the target activity, interactive information corresponding to the multiple participants is presented in the live interface, the interactive information being used to indicate historical interactive operations associated with the corresponding participants during the target activity.

[0025] In this way, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, a specific activity can be started in a live interactive event such as a mic-in and the like, and interactive information related to the specific activity can be provided through an interface, thereby improving the efficiency of live interaction. In addition, the present disclosure can present time information associated with the target activity in the live interface, so that a user watching the live interface can conveniently and quickly determine the progress of the target activity. On the other hand, embodiments of the present disclosure can present interactive information corresponding to the multiple participants during the target activity in the live interface, the interactive information being used to indicate historical interactive operations associated with the participants, so that a user watching the live interface can conveniently and quickly determine the interactive information updated in real time during the target activity, thereby improving the interactive experience of the user.

[0026] Example embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example Environment

[0028] FIG. 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. As shown, the example environment 100 can include a terminal device 110. FIG. 1

[0029] ​In the example environment 100, the terminal device 110 can run an application 120 for providing, watching live streaming. The application 120 can be any suitable type of application for providing, watching live streaming, examples of which can include but are not limited to: online video application, live streaming application. The user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 110 and / or its attached devices. The user 140 can be any suitable user, for example, a management user creating a live streaming interactive event (may also be referred to as a host user, a live streaming party or a management party), a viewer user, a listener user, a watching party or a participating party, etc.

[0030] In FIG. 1 In the environment 100, if the application 120 is in an active state, the terminal device 110 can present a live streaming interface 150 through the application 120.

[0031] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 communicates with the server 130 to implement the provision of services of the application 120. The server 150 can provide functions such as management, configuration and maintenance of the application or website.

[0032] The terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal including a mobile handset, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a palmtop computer, a portable gaming 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 electronic book device, a game device, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also support any type of interface to the user (such as "wearable" circuitry, etc.).

[0033] The server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing 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 basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 130 may, for example, include a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, etc. The server 130 can provide background services for the application 120 supporting virtual scenes in the terminal device 110.

[0034] A communication connection can be established between the server 130 and the terminal device 110. The communication connection can be established through a wired manner or a wireless manner. 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, and the like, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this regard. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the terminal device 110 can implement signaling interaction through the communication connection therebetween.

[0035] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only, without implying any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0036] Various example implementations of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0037] Example Live Interaction

[0038] An example interaction process according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2A-2I FIGS. 2A-2I Example live interfaces 200A to 200I according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Such example live interfaces can be implemented by a suitable terminal device or a combination of terminal devices (e.g., the terminal device 110, the server 130, or a combination of one or more of these devices in FIG. 1

[0039] In some embodiments, a managing user can create and set a target activity of a live interactive event, and invite multiple users to participate in the target activity in the live interactive event. Of course, the multiple users (i.e., multiple participants) participating in the live interactive event can also include users who actively request to join the target activity in the live interactive event.

[0040] As an example, the live interactive event can include an interactive event joined by multiple participants, such as a co-host event or the like. Such multiple participants can include multiple host users. Alternatively, the multiple participants can also include a single host user and multiple guest users, and the like.

[0041] As an example, the target activity refers to an activity started by a specific user (e.g., a host user or an associated managing user) during the live interactive event. Such target activity can have a preset duration or a duration configured by the specific user, for example. As an example, such target activity can include any suitable online activity, such as singing, dancing, storytelling, chatting, playing games, and the like.

[0042] ​​For example, administrators can set the number of participants in a target activity for a live interactive event, the activity type, and so on. Activity types can include timed activities (with a time limit) and non-timed activities (without a time limit). Activity types can also include activities where participants participate simultaneously or activities where participants take turns. For timed activities, administrators can also set the corresponding timing information.

[0043] As an example, an administrator can set the target activity as a timed singing competition and set the corresponding time information for this activity to 5 minutes, etc. That is, an administrator can set multiple participants in the target activity to sing together for 5 minutes.

[0044] In some embodiments, if the live streaming interface is for an administrator user associated with a live streaming interactive event (i.e., for a live streaming interface aimed at administrator users), the live streaming interface may display controls for interactive settings. The terminal device may respond to the selection of the activity settings controls in the live streaming interface by displaying a configuration interface, allowing administrator users to configure target activities based on the configuration interface. In some embodiments, the terminal device may receive timing information associated with the target activity input through the configuration interface.

[0045] by FIG. 2A As an example, the terminal device may provide a live streaming interface 200A for managing users. The live streaming interface 200A may include a control 210 for activity settings. In response to the selection of control 210, the terminal device may present an interface 200B. Interface 200B may present selectable activity types, such as activity type 220 corresponding to "Live Performance" and activity type 230 corresponding to "Countdown for All". Activity type 220 corresponding to "Live Performance" may indicate that the target activity is set as a type of performance where participants take turns performing; for example, participants A, B, and C in a live stream may sing two lines of a song in turn. Activity type 230 corresponding to "Countdown for All" may indicate that the target activity participating in the live streaming interactive event is set as a timed activity, and the target activity is an activity for all participants in the target activity participating in the live streaming interactive event.

[0046] The terminal device can present the interface 200C in response to the activity type 230 corresponding to the "all-countdown" being selected. The interface 200C can present a setting control 240 of the timing information, and a set of time periods (3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc.) can be presented in the setting control. The terminal device 110 can determine the timing information in response to detecting a selection of a time period in the set of time periods (3 minutes, 5 minutes) presented by the setting control 240 by the management user. The setting control 240 can further include a custom control 241, for example. The terminal device 110 can receive a user input from the management user and determine the timing information associated with the target activity indicated by the user input in response to detecting a selection operation of the custom control 241 by the setting control.

[0047] As an example, the management user can set a 5-minute singing challenge activity, so that the participants participating in the singing challenge activity can compete by singing within the 5 minutes, and the singing challenge activity ends after the 5 minutes.

[0048] In some embodiments, the interface 200C can further present a setting control 242 corresponding to the interaction target, which represents a target expected to be achieved by the multiple participants participating in the target activity during the target activity. The target can be a target set for all participants, or a target set for each participant, which can be related to the type of the target activity. For example, the multiple participants participating in the target activity compete by the number of likes received, and the interaction target can be a predetermined number of likes, and the participant who first reaches the predetermined number of likes during the target activity can win the competition. The terminal device can obtain the interaction target in response to the value input by the management user based on the setting control 242.

[0049] To facilitate the management user to determine the rules of the activity corresponding to the "all-countdown", the terminal device can present the interface 200D in response to the activity type 230 corresponding to the "all-countdown" being selected. The interface 200D can present frequently asked questions about the activity corresponding to the "all-countdown" to FIG. 2D As an example, the interface 200D can present frequently asked questions such as "What is the all-countdown", "What is the interaction target", etc. and the corresponding answers to these questions.

[0050] Returning to FIG. 2A The live interface 200A can further present user identifiers (user avatars, user ID names, etc.) of the multiple participants participating in the target activity of the live interaction event. In some embodiments, the live interface 200A can further include other controls for live interaction, including but not limited to a gift sending control, a sharing control, a comment control, etc. In some embodiments, the live interface further includes a comment area for displaying user comments.

[0051] In some embodiments, the terminal device can present, based on the setting operation for the target activity in the live interactive event, in the live interface associated with the live interactive event, the timing information associated with the target activity, the live interactive event being associated with a plurality of participants. In some embodiments, the timing information can be displayed in any appropriate form at any appropriate position in the live interface. For example, FIG. 2E As an example, the countdown 250 corresponding to the target activity can be presented in the live interface 200E.

[0052] It should be noted that the timing information can be presented in the live interface of the terminal device of the management user, the participants, and other audiences watching the target activity except the participants and the management user.

[0053] In some embodiments, the terminal device can start the timing process corresponding to the timing information in response to the start of the target activity. It should be noted that if the terminal device 110 corresponds to the management user of the live interactive event, the target activity here can be manually instructed by the management user side to start the terminal device 110 after the management user side determines that the configuration of the setting operation for the target activity in the live interactive event is completed, or the terminal device 110 can start by itself in response to the completion of the setting operation for the target activity in the live interactive event.

[0054] In some embodiments, during the timing process, i.e., during the target activity, the timing information associated with the target activity presented in the live interface is constantly updated. The timing information can be updated in real time, or can be updated at a predetermined time interval, i.e., updated once every certain time, which can be set according to requirements. As an example, if the management user sets the activity duration corresponding to the target activity (timing type) to be 5 minutes, when the target activity has been started for 2 minutes, the timing information associated with the target activity presented in the live interface can be 3 minutes, and so on.

[0055] In some embodiments, the terminal device can present, during the target activity, in the live interface, the interaction information corresponding to the plurality of participants, the interaction information being used to indicate the historical interaction operation associated with the corresponding participant during the target activity. The historical interaction operation represents the interaction operation in the time period from the start of the target activity to the current time. In some embodiments, the interaction information can be the interaction value associated with the corresponding participant during the target activity. The interaction value can be the virtual item sent by the audience associated with the participant, the number of likes, and so on, and can also be the heat value obtained by the participant, and so on.

[0056] It should be noted that the interaction information corresponding to the plurality of participants presented in the live interface is updated in real time. For example, at 1 minute after the start of the target activity, the interaction information corresponding to participant A is A, and at 2 minutes after the start of the target activity, the interaction information corresponding to participant A is B.

[0057] In some embodiments, the interaction information corresponding to the plurality of participants presented in the live interface can be displayed at any position of the live interface, such as the upper left corner, the lower right corner, and the like.

[0058] As an example, the live interface can include a plurality of content areas corresponding to a plurality of participants of the target activity of the live interaction event, wherein one content area corresponds to one participant, and the interaction information of each participant can be displayed at a position associated with the content area corresponding to the participant. The position associated with the content area can be above, below, or the like of the content area.

[0059] For example, FIG. 2A As an example, if user A is a management user of the live interaction event, and users B to H are a plurality of participants participating in the live interaction event, the live interface 200A can include a content area 204 corresponding to user B, a content area 206 corresponding to user C, a content area 208 corresponding to user D, a content area 210 corresponding to user E, a content area 212 corresponding to user F, a content area 214 corresponding to user G, and a content area 216 corresponding to user H. It can be understood that, as FIG. 2A indicated, the live interface can also include a content area 202 corresponding to the management user (i.e., user A). The interaction information 211 of user B can be displayed at the upper left corner of the content area 204, the interaction information 212 of user C can be displayed at the upper left corner of the content area 206, and the like.

[0060] It should be understood that FIG. 2A indicated, the live interface can also include a content area 202 corresponding to the management user (i.e., user A). The interaction information 211 of user B can be displayed at the upper left corner of the content area 204, the interaction information 212 of user C can be displayed at the upper left corner of the content area 206, and the like.

[0061] In some embodiments, the interaction information can be displayed in any appropriate form in the live interface. As an example, the terminal device can set a predetermined background for the plurality of participants participating in the live interaction event to represent that this interaction information is the interaction information corresponding to the target activity, which will be adjusted over time. As another example, the terminal device can also set a predetermined symbol, such as “+”, in front of the interaction information of the plurality of participants participating in the live interaction event to represent that this interaction information is the interaction information during the target activity, and will be adjusted in real time over time. For example,FIG. 2A and FIG. 2E As an example, before setting the target activity as a timed activity, FIG. 2A It can also display interactive information corresponding to multiple participants. This interactive information can be the interactive information from the start of the live broadcast to the current time, and these interactive information do not have a predetermined background or predetermined symbols. FIG. 2E The interactive information displayed for the multiple participants is not the interactive information from the start of the live stream to the current time, but rather the interactive information from the start of the target activity (timed activity) to the current time. It is unrelated to the time period before the start of the target activity, and these interactive information are set with predetermined backgrounds and predetermined symbols.

[0062] In some embodiments, the terminal device may, in response to receiving a first preset operation, present a first panel displaying a ranking of the interaction values ​​of multiple participants during the target activity. The first preset operation can be any appropriate operation, including but not limited to a click operation, a long press operation, a swipe operation, a double-click operation, etc. The ranking of the interaction values ​​of multiple participants during the target activity can be in descending order or in ascending order, which will not be elaborated here.

[0063] by FIG. 2E As an example, the terminal device could respond to a click action on the countdown of 250 by displaying something like this. FIG. 2F The panel shown is 260 or as shown FIG. 2G Panel 270 is shown, where panel 260 is for users other than the administrator, and panel 270 is for the administrator. Panel 260 or panel 270 can display the interaction values ​​of each participant during the target activity, sorted from highest to lowest interaction value. Interaction values ​​can be the number of virtual items received by a participant, etc. In some embodiments, to facilitate viewing the gap between each user's interaction value and the interaction target, the first panel can also display the interaction target. FIG. 2F As an example, interactive target 261 can be displayed in panel 260.

[0064] It should be noted that as the target activity progresses, the interaction values ​​of each participant during the target activity change in real time, and the order of the interaction values ​​of each participant in panel 260 or panel 270 during the target activity also changes in real time. In some embodiments, the multiple participants in the target activity of the live interactive event may also change. For example, one or more participants may leave the target activity, or one or more users may join the target interaction as participants. In this case, the multiple participants displayed in panel 260 or panel 270 will be adjusted, and the order of the interaction values ​​of these multiple participants during the target activity will also be adjusted.

[0065] It should be noted that the interaction value corresponding to the participant newly added to the target activity is counted starting from the time of joining the target activity.

[0066] In some embodiments, the terminal device can update the interaction information corresponding to the first participant in the live interface in response to an interaction operation on the first participant in the plurality of participants. The interaction operation can be any appropriate operation, such as a like operation on the first participant, a virtual item gifting operation, and the like. For example, the terminal device can present the interface 200F in response to the content region 202 corresponding to user B being selected. The interface 200F can present a gift gifting control 280, and the user can click the control 280 to gift a gift to user B. At this time, the number of gifts received by the first participant in the live interface of the terminal device is updated. The user can gift to the participant, and can also gift to a management user or a spectator user, and the like. FIG. 2H As an example, the electronic device can present the interface 200H in response to the content region 202 corresponding to user B being selected. The interface 200H can present a gift gifting control 280, and the user can click the control 280 to gift a gift to user B. At this time, the number of gifts received by the first participant in the live interface of the terminal device is updated. The user can gift to the participant, and can also gift to a management user or a spectator user, and the like.

[0067] In other embodiments, the interface 200F or 200G can also present a gift gifting control corresponding to each participant. The user can click the gift gifting control corresponding to the first participant to gift a gift to the first participant. At this time, the number of gifts received by the first participant in the live interface of the terminal device is updated.

[0068] In some embodiments, during the target activity, the terminal device 110 can also present an end control in response to a second predetermined operation of the management user, to support the management user ending the target activity in advance. The second predetermined operation can be any appropriate operation. For example, the second predetermined operation can be a screen-up operation or a screen-down operation. FIG. 2G As an example, the second predetermined operation can be a screen-up operation or a screen-down operation. The terminal device can present an end control 290 after receiving the second predetermined operation. The terminal device can stop displaying the timing information in the live interface in response to the selection of the end control 290, to indicate that the target interaction is ended.

[0069] It should be noted that the terminal device can present the interface 200I as shown in FIG. 2I after the selection of the end control. The interface 200I can present a prompt text, for example, the text can be “The countdown is still in progress. You can end it at any time and start a new one.” The prompt text is used to prompt the user that the current target activity has not ended, and is still in the timing process. The terminal device 110 can continue to display the live interface 200E as shown in FIG. 2E without terminating the target period in response to detecting a selection operation on the control 291. The terminal device 110 can terminate the target activity and display the interface 200J as shown in FIG. 2AThe live streaming interface 200A shown no longer displays timing information associated with the target activity.

[0070] In some embodiments, the terminal device may, in response to a first interaction message from a second participant among multiple participants satisfying preset conditions, display at least one interface element associated with the second participant in a target style on the live streaming interface. The preset conditions are determined based on configuration information associated with a target activity. The preset conditions can be any suitable condition, such as the maximum value of interaction information among multiple participants, interaction information exceeding a predetermined threshold, interaction information reaching an interaction goal, etc. The target style can be any suitable style. The interface elements can be visual elements corresponding to the participant, identification information, etc. Visual elements can be the participant's avatar, etc., and identification information can be the participant's username, user ID, etc.

[0071] by FIG. 2E As an example, the terminal device can display the avatar and username of the participant with the most interaction information among multiple participants in a live interactive event at time 250.

[0072] In some embodiments, the terminal device may display a second panel in response to a third preset operation corresponding to a third participant among multiple participants. In some embodiments, the second panel displays a group of users who initiated historical interactive operations associated with the third participant during the target activity. The third preset operation can be any suitable operation, such as clicking on the interactive information of the third participant among multiple participants. The group of users with historical interactive operations associated with the third participant may include viewers of the target activity watching the live interactive event, as well as administrators or other participants.
