Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner that will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure.

[0030] Analysis revealed that while users can enrich their emoji library by accessing emojis beyond the default ones, these emojis are typically redesigned and fundamentally different from the default ones. Therefore, providing a way to both enrich users' emoji selection and offer efficient emoji interaction is a pressing issue.

[0031] This disclosure provides a method for interacting with emoticons. Users can obtain decorative elements, and when using emoticons, they can display base emoticons decorated by those elements to form new decorative emoticons.

[0032] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating an expression interaction method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the emoticon interaction method of this embodiment includes steps S11 to S13.

[0033] In step S11, the expression selection interface is displayed.

[0034] The emoticon selection interface includes multiple emoticons, from which users can choose one or more to use. Using an emoticon involves displaying the selected emoticon in the input control or sending it directly as a message.

[0035] The emoticon selection interface can be associated with an input control. In some embodiments, displaying the emoticon selection interface includes displaying an emoticon selection interface associated with an input control, wherein the input control is used to input interactive information. For example, in response to triggering the display of the input control, an entry point to the emoticon selection interface is displayed in association with the input control. Thus, the user can choose to input text, emoticons, or other methods. Interactive information may include instant messages, comments, shared notes, descriptive information of multimedia content, etc.

[0036] The emoji selection interface can be displayed in response to triggering the emoji function, for example, by triggering the entry point for the emoji selection interface. The emoji selection interface can occupy a portion of the screen so that the user can still see the current interactive interface while selecting an emoji.

[0037] In step S12, based on the acquired first decorative element, at least one first decorative emoticon item corresponding to the first basic emoticon item is displayed in the emoticon item selection interface, wherein at least one first decorative emoticon item is generated based on the first basic emoticon item and at least one first decorative element.

[0038] In embodiments of this disclosure, basic emoticons refer, for example, to emoticons configured by default for the user. For instance, different users may have the same basic emoticons for a specific function. Users are generally familiar with the meaning of basic emoticons. However, precisely for this reason, the appearance of basic emoticons is relatively common, and their usage is relatively fixed.

[0039] The first decorative element can be obtained in response to a user's retrieval operation. Retrieving the first decorative element can mean that the user has permission to use the first decorative element, or in other words, permission to use the decorative emoticon item corresponding to the first decorative element. Each user can retrieve one or more decorative elements. Decorative elements can be permanently valid or have a specified expiration date. In the latter case, after a decorative element expires, the decorative emoticon item corresponding to that element also becomes unavailable or is not displayed in the emoticon selection interface. The user can retrieve the decorative element again through the retrieval operation.

[0040] The first decorative element is used to enhance or modify the basic emoticon item. That is, the first decorative emoticon item is generated by using elements in the first basic emoticon item selection interface using the first decorative element emoticon item selection interface, or the first decorative emoticon item is generated by adding the first decorative element to the first basic emoticon item.

[0041] The emoticon selection interface can include a main area and a floating layer. The floating layer can be displayed by triggering objects in the main area. Decorative emoticons can be displayed in the main area or in the floating layer.

[0042] After the first decorative emoticon is displayed, the user can select the first decorative emoticon to use it.

[0043] In step S13, based on the determination operation of the first decorative emoticon item, the determined first decorative emoticon item is sent as interactive information.

[0044] Interactive information can be messages, comments, content descriptions, etc. Alternatively, it can be any interactive information that supports the insertion of emojis.

[0045] The above embodiments can combine user-acquired decorative elements and basic emoticons to display new decorative emoticons. This allows for the creation of more usable emoticons by decorating basic emoticons, enriching the user's emoticon library and improving user interaction efficiency.

[0046] The following section will further introduce the characteristics and generation method of decorative emoticons.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first decorative element differs from the elements of the basic emojis in the basic emoji set. The basic emoji set includes multiple basic emojis, such as all the basic emojis in the application. That is, the first decorative element is not obtained by breaking down the basic emojis into their elements. For example, if the basic emoji is a yellow cartoon face emoji, then the first decorative element is not the yellow face, eyes, mouth, etc., that already appear in the basic emojis. However, the first decorative element can be a red face with blush, or it can be a beanie, a clown face, a certain hairstyle, etc. Other decorative elements besides the first decorative element can also conform to the above limitations, which will not be elaborated here.

[0048] The first decorative element can be represented by a specific image, rather than just a new color attribute.

[0049] If the first decorative element has the same type as the base emoji, then the first decorative element replaces the same type of element in the base emoji to generate the first decorative emoji. For example, if the first base emoji is a yellow cartoon face that represents a smile, and the first decorative element is a red face with blush, then the first decorative emoji is a red face with blush that is smiling; or if the first decorative element is a dog face, then the first decorative emoji is a dog face that is smiling.

[0050] If the base emoji does not have an element of the same type as the first decorative element, the first decorative element is used to enhance the base emoji. Enhancement can mean adding a decorative element to the base emoji or merging it with the base emoji. For example, if the base emoji is a yellow cartoon face emoji that represents a smile, and the first decorative element is a hat, then the first decorative emoji will be a yellow cartoon face emoji wearing a hat that also represents a smile.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first decorative emoticon is obtained by combining a first basic emoticon and a first decorative element. This combination includes combining in a specified manner or generating the first basic emoticon and the first decorative element using a model; alternatively, the first decorative emoticon is obtained based on user configuration of the first basic emoticon and the first decorative element. Combining in a specified manner can involve specifying the composite position of the decorative element and the basic emoticon. For example, a hat-type decorative element can be composited on the top of the basic emoticon's head, and a sunglasses-type decorative element can be composited on the eyes of the basic emoticon. Using a model offers greater flexibility; the model can flexibly combine or merge the decorative element and the basic emoticon based on their meaning, style, size, and target effect. For example, when merging a "hamburger" decorative element with a facial basic emoticon, in addition to adding a hamburger element to the basic emoticon, the model can appropriately puff out the cheeks of the basic emoticon to achieve the effect of eating a hamburger. Furthermore, some embodiments may also grant users the freedom to combine elements, allowing users to customize the size, direction, and position of the decorative element within the basic emoticon.

[0052] Decorative elements can combine with one or more base emoji items to generate one or more decorative emoji items. For example, for each emoji item in the set of base emoji items that supports or adapts to decorative elements, it is processed separately with the decorative element to generate a decorative emoji item corresponding to each base emoji item. A base emoji item supporting or adapting to a decorative element means that a decorative emoji item can be generated based on that decorative element and that base emoji item. Different base emoji items can support or adapt to the same or different decorative elements. Correspondingly, different decorative elements can adapt to or support the same or different base emoji items.

[0053] This disclosure provides various embodiments for displaying decorative emoticons in an emoticon selection interface. These are described exemplarily below.

[0054] In some embodiments, displaying at least one first decorative emoticon corresponding to a first basic emoticon in the emoticon selection interface based on the acquired first decorative element includes: displaying the first decorative emoticon corresponding to the first basic emoticon in the emoticon selection interface based on a trigger operation on a first control, wherein the first control is associated with the first basic emoticon and / or the first decorative element. That is, firstly, partial information (which may be an emoticon or a decorative element) is displayed in the emoticon selection interface, and then, in response to a trigger operation, the first decorative emoticon is further displayed. The first control may be an emoticon or a decorative element, or it may be an additional control.

[0055] The decorative emoticons displayed in response to a triggering operation on the first control can be displayed in the main area of ​​the emoticon selection interface or on a floating layer of the emoticon selection interface. The embodiments disclosed herein do not limit this.

[0056] The display of the first decorative emoji item triggered by an emoji item can be viewed as treating emoji items related to the first basic emoji item as a series. The display of the first decorative emoji item triggered by a decorative element can also be viewed as treating emoji items related to the first decoration as a series. These two implementation methods are further described below.

[0057] In some embodiments, a first control corresponds to a second decorative emoticon item. Displaying a first decorative emoticon item corresponding to a first basic emoticon item on the emoticon item selection interface based on a trigger operation on the first control includes: displaying a second decorative emoticon item on the emoticon item selection interface, the second decorative emoticon item being generated based on the first basic emoticon item and an acquired second decorative element; and, in response to a trigger operation on the first control, displaying a first basic emoticon item associated with the second decorative emoticon item and a first decorative emoticon item corresponding to the first basic emoticon item on the emoticon item selection interface. The second decorative emoticon item refers to a decorative emoticon item corresponding to the first basic emoticon item that is directly displayed on the emoticon item selection interface. For example, the second decorative emoticon item may be displayed in the main area of ​​the emoticon item selection interface, or the second decorative emoticon item may be displayed without triggering the first control. The second decorative emoticon item may be at least one of at least one first decorative emoticon item, or may be different from all at least one first decorative emoticon item.

[0058] Since a first basic emoticon item may correspond to multiple decorative emoticon items, the choice of which decorative emoticon item to use as the second decorative emoticon item can be determined based on several factors. These factors include, for example, the usage information of the decorative emoticon item, the acquisition time and type of the decorative element, and user settings. For instance, if the second decorative emoticon item is at least one of at least one first decorative emoticon item, the second decorative emoticon item is determined based on at least one of the following: the usage information of the associated first decorative emoticon item, the acquisition time and type of the decorative element, and user settings. The associated first decorative emoticon item refers to the first decorative emoticon item associated with the second decorative emoticon item; that is, multiple decorative emoticon items corresponding to the first basic emoticon item. Usage information can refer to the frequency of emoticon item usage. The second decorative emoticon item is determined based on usage information, such as the decorative emoticon item most recently used by the user, or the one used most frequently by the user, or the one used most often by the user within a specified time period. Determining based on the acquisition time of the decorative element can mean that the decorative emoticon item corresponding to the most recently acquired or earliest acquired decorative element is selected as the second decorative emoticon item. Determining by type can mean selecting the secondary decorative emoji based on whether the decorative element is an eye, mouth, or hand, and the priority order between types. Alternatively, users can freely choose which decorative element corresponds to which emoji as the secondary decorative emoji.

[0059] For example, the first basic emoticon is "smiling," and the first decorative emoticons include "smiling with a hat" and "smiling while drinking coffee." If the second decorative element "coffee" has a higher display priority, then "smiling while drinking coffee" is displayed first, followed by "smiling" and "smiling with a hat." If the user uses "smiling with a hat" more frequently, then "smiling with a hat" is designated as the second decorative emoticon. If the user obtains the decorative element "hat" first and then the decorative element "coffee," then the second decorative emoticon corresponding to the later-obtained decorative element "coffee" can be designated as the second decorative emoticon.

[0060] The above embodiments, by determining the display priority of decorative emoticons, enable a more rational layout of emoticons, thereby improving user operating efficiency. Of course, the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited to the above-described implementation methods. A second decorative emoticon item can also be randomly determined as needed.

[0061] In response to the triggering of the second decorative emoticon item, a floating layer can be displayed on the emoticon selection interface. This floating layer can be associated with the second decorative emoticon item, while the first basic emoticon item and the first decorative emoticon item are displayed within the floating layer. Alternatively, the floating layer can include the first basic emoticon item, the first decorative emoticon item, and the second decorative emoticon item.

[0062] When there are many decorative emoji options, this overlay can initially display a subset, allowing users to switch between them using swipes, page turns, or other gestures. Alternatively, the first basic emoji can be displayed permanently so users can quickly identify which emoji series is currently being used.

[0063] The display of the overlay by triggering an emoji item and the selection of an emoji item can be distinguished by different interaction methods. For example, clicking an emoji item indicates selection and use; long-pressing an emoji item triggers the display of the overlay. When the overlay is already displayed, it can be de-displayed by clicking outside the overlay area. Of course, those skilled in the art can use other interaction methods, which will not be elaborated here. The following describes... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The following describes, exemplarily, how decorative emoticons are displayed in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0064] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a dialog interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the dialogue interface 2 includes messages sent between users. Users can input messages using input control 21. Input control 21 is associated with emoticon entry 211. In response to triggering emoticon entry 211, emoticon interface 22 is displayed. Assume that the emoticons currently displayed in emoticon selection interface 22 are all basic emoticons. For example, emoticon 221 is a basic emoticon representing a blink. Users can select the emoticon they want to send by clicking or other operations. The selected emoticon will be sent directly as a message or displayed in input control 21. For the latter, the message can be sent by triggering send control 222.

[0065] Of course, this example is just for illustration in a dialogue scenario, and emoticons can also be sent in other application scenarios.

[0066] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an emoji selection interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3 As shown in part (a), in the emoticon selection interface 30, the original basic emoticon "winking" 221 is replaced with the decorative emoticon "winking with a hat" 301. This decorative emoticon 301 is obtained by decorating the basic emoticon "winking" with the decorative element "hat". That is, the "winking with a hat" can be directly displayed in the emoticon selection interface 30.

[0067] Upon triggering the first control, at least one first decorative emoticon item is displayed in the associated position of the first basic emoticon item. Thus, the user can clearly confirm that the first decorative emoticon item and the first basic emoticon item are related. For example, the first basic emoticon item and at least one first decorative emoticon item are displayed in an overlay, and the first basic emoticon item and at least one first decorative emoticon item are displayed in different areas of the overlay; or, the first basic emoticon item and at least one first decorative emoticon item are displayed in an overlay, and the first basic emoticon item and at least one first decorative emoticon item are separated into different positions in the overlay by a separator.

[0068] refer to Figure 3 In part (b), in response to a triggering of emoticon item 301, a floating layer 300 can be displayed. The floating layer 300 includes a base emoticon item 221 and decorative emoticon items 301 to 303 based on the base emoticon item 221. The base emoticon item and the decorative emoticon items are separated by a separator. In this embodiment, emoticon item 301, which has already been displayed in the main area of ​​the emoticon item selection interface 30, is exemplarily displayed again in the floating layer 300. Of course, emoticon item 301 may not be repeatedly displayed in the floating layer.

[0069] In some embodiments, a first base emoticon and at least one first decorative emoticon are displayed in an overlay, and any undisplayed first decorative emoticons are triggered to appear by a swipe operation on the overlay. For example, in response to a swipe operation (such as a left or right swipe) on the area where the overlay 300 is located, more decorative emoticons can be displayed if the first base emoticon is associated with more decorative emoticons.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first control is associated with a first basic emoticon item. Based on a trigger operation on the first control, displaying a first decorative emoticon item corresponding to the first basic emoticon item in the emoticon item selection interface includes: displaying the first basic emoticon item in the emoticon item selection interface; and in response to a trigger on the first control, displaying one or more decorative emoticon items corresponding to the first basic emoticon item in the emoticon item selection interface according to one or more acquired decorative elements, wherein the one or more decorative elements include a first decorative element, and the one or more decorative emoticon items include a first decorative emoticon item.

[0071] That is, in this embodiment, the basic emoji items are displayed first on the emoji selection interface, while decorative emoji items are displayed by triggering the basic emoji items, for example, by displaying them in a floating layer. The interaction method of the floating layer can be referred to the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0072] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of an emoji selection interface according to other embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. For example... Figure 4As shown in section (a), the basic emoticon "winking" 221 is still directly displayed in the emoticon selection interface 40. In response to the triggering of emoticon 221, as... Figure 4 As shown in section (b), the floating layer 300 is displayed. The interaction method and layout of the floating layer 300 can be referred to the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0073] Displaying basic emoticons first in the emoticon selection interface can mean that this applies to all basic emoticons, i.e., displaying basic emoticons first is a fixed setting. Alternatively, the method for determining the display priority of emoticons in the aforementioned embodiments can be used. When a basic emoticon is used more frequently, or is the most recently used emoticon in a certain emoticon series, the basic emoticon can be the first emoticon to be displayed in the emoticon selection interface.

[0074] This embodiment allows for minimal changes to the overall layout of the emoji selection interface, making it easier for users to determine the meaning of each emoji more efficiently.

[0075] In some embodiments, displaying a first decorative emoticon item corresponding to a first basic emoticon item in an emoticon selection interface based on a trigger operation on a first control includes: displaying at least one first control in the emoticon selection interface, the first control being associated with an acquired first decorative element; and, in response to a trigger operation on the first control, displaying one or more decorative emoticon items corresponding to one or more basic emoticon items in the emoticon selection interface, wherein the one or more basic emoticon items include the first basic emoticon item, and the one or more decorative emoticon items include the first decorative emoticon item.

[0076] The foregoing embodiments presented a method for determining emoticon series based on basic emoticons. This embodiment presents another method for determining emoticon series. That is, decorative emoticons generated based on the same decorative element are considered to belong to the same emoticon series. The display of the emoticon series corresponding to that decorative element can be triggered by selecting that decorative element.

[0077] The emoji selection interface can include multiple sub-interfaces, presented in a tabbed format. Each decorative element can correspond to one of these sub-interfaces.

[0078] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of an emoji selection interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 5As shown, the emoticon selection interface 50 includes a label 501 for the decorative element "hat," labels for other decorative elements (such as the "square face" element 502), and a label 503 representing the basic emoticon set. In response to the triggering of label 501, multiple decorative emoticons decorated with the "hat" element can be displayed. Similarly, if label 502 is triggered, multiple decorative emoticons decorated with the "square face" element are displayed; these decorative emoticons can be obtained by replacing the original facial contours in the basic items with square faces. If label 503 is triggered, the emoticons displayed are... Figure 2 A similar interface to 22 in the text.

[0079] Through the above embodiments, users can quickly browse the decorative emoticons associated with a decorative element that interests them, thereby improving the efficiency of user operations.

[0080] In some embodiments, displaying at least one first decorative emoticon item corresponding to a first basic emoticon item in the emoticon selection interface based on the acquired first decorative element includes: displaying the first basic emoticon item and the first decorative emoticon item corresponding to the first basic emoticon item side-by-side in the emoticon selection interface based on the acquired first decorative element. That is, basic emoticons and decorative emoticons can be displayed simultaneously in the same level of the interface. Although this method does not categorize the emoticons, it simplifies the user's interaction and thus facilitates operation for some users.

[0081] The above describes the process of using decorative emoticons according to embodiments of this disclosure. The process of obtaining decorative elements is described below.

[0082] Decorative elements can be obtained from the decorative element acquisition interface. There are several ways to trigger the decorative element acquisition interface.

[0083] In some embodiments, an entry point to the decorative element acquisition interface is displayed in the emoji selection interface. This entry point can be displayed in a fixed position or in a floating layer.

[0084] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of an emoji selection interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. For example, see... Figure 6 In the emoticon selection interface, a fixed entry point 601 can be displayed. In response to triggering this entry point 601, a decorative element acquisition interface can be displayed. Alternatively, in response to triggering the first control corresponding to the basic emoticon item or the second decorative emoticon item on the emoticon selection interface, a floating layer 602 is displayed, and entry point 6021 is shown within the floating layer, thus facilitating the user to use more decorative emoticons when needed.

[0085] In some embodiments, in response to the first base emoji supporting a first decorative element to be acquired, the emoji collection interface includes an entry point to the decorative element acquisition interface. For example, in Figure 6 In the example shown, entry point 6021 is only displayed if the triggered "winking" emoji supports decorative elements in the decorative element retrieval interface. If the triggered basic emoji item, or the basic emoji item corresponding to the triggered second decorative emoji item, does not support decorative elements in the decorative element retrieval interface, entry point 6021 may not be displayed in the corresponding pop-up.

[0086] Of course, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples of the entry point for obtaining the decorative element interface. Other methods can also be used to trigger the display of the decorative element interface, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0087] Figure 7 A flowchart illustrating an expression interaction method according to other embodiments of this disclosure is shown. Figure 7 As shown, the emoticon interaction method of this embodiment includes steps S71 to S73.

[0088] In step S71, the first decorative element is displayed in the decorative element acquisition interface.

[0089] The decorative element acquisition interface is used to acquire decorative elements. In addition, it can also display decorative elements already acquired by the user, recently used decorative elements, etc. The decorative element acquisition interface can display one or more decorative elements. This embodiment uses the first decorative element as an example, but it is equally applicable to other decorative elements.

[0090] Decorative elements can be exchanged for resources, which can be physical or virtual.

[0091] In step S72, in response to the acquisition operation of the first decorative element, the first decorative element is acquired.

[0092] The first decorative element can be obtained directly or indirectly by triggering interactive elements in the interface. For example, a preview of the first decorative element can be displayed on the decorative element acquisition interface. In response to triggering the preview or a control associated with the preview, a confirmation interface can be further displayed. On the confirmation interface, more information about the decorative element can be described in detail so that the user can determine whether to acquire the decorative element. The first decorative element is then acquired after the user confirms.

[0093] In step S73, in response to obtaining the first decorative element, one or more decorative emoticons corresponding to the first decorative element are configured to support display in the emoticon selection interface, wherein the one or more decorative emoticons are generated based on the first decorative element and one or more basic emoticons.

[0094] That is, after obtaining the first decorative element, the decorative emoticons generated based on the first decorative element can be displayed in the emoticon selection interface.

[0095] Through the above embodiments, users can acquire decorative elements as needed to expand the form of basic emoticons and enrich the emoticon library. This effectively enhances the user's interactive experience.

[0096] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a decorative element acquisition interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the decorative element acquisition interface 8 includes remaining resource information 81, where the resource quantity "375" can be used to exchange for decorative elements. In addition, interface 8 also includes a recommended decorative element display area 82, where users can preview the decorative effects of decorative elements and continue the acquisition process for those elements.

[0097] For example, for the decorative element "glasses", 821 is a preview effect, and control 822 is used to trigger the acquisition process of the decorative element "glasses". The interface can also display the resources required by the decorative element, for example, the number of resources consumed by "glasses" is 78.

[0098] In some embodiments, the decorative element acquisition interface is a shared interface between a first user and a second user. In response to an operation to acquire a first decorative element, acquiring the first decorative element includes: distributing the first decorative element to the accounts of the first user and the second user, wherein the first decorative element is acquired using shared resources of the first user and the second user. For example, in... Figure 8 In this configuration, the remaining resource information 81 can be shared by both the first and second users, and either user can use these resources.
