[0013] The examples in this document will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some examples are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that solutions can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples presented herein. Rather, these examples are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the solutions.

Various examples are described throughout this document, and examples of any type may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, examples described in any section / subsection may be combined in any way with any other examples described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0015] In the description of the examples in this document, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "an example" or "the example" should be understood as "at least one example". The term "some examples" should be understood as "at least some examples". Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0016] The examples in this document may involve user data, data acquisition, and / or use. All of these aspects comply with relevant laws, regulations, and rules. In the examples, all data collection, acquisition, processing, manipulation, forwarding, and use are conducted with the user's knowledge and confirmation. Accordingly, when implementing each example, the type, scope of use, and usage scenarios of any data or information that may be involved should be communicated to the user and their authorization obtained through appropriate means, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. The specific methods of notification and / or authorization can vary depending on the actual situation and application scenario; the scope of the solution is not limited in this regard.

[0017] In this manual and the sample solutions, any processing of personal information will be conducted only under legal grounds (such as obtaining the consent of the data subject or being necessary for the performance of a contract) and will only be carried out within the scope stipulated or agreed upon. A user's refusal to process personal information beyond what is necessary for basic functions will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0018] As mentioned above, with the development of computer technology, more and more applications are able to provide live streaming content. Various types of live streams can provide people with content covering information, education, lifestyle, and entertainment. Furthermore, during live streams, these applications can support a wide range of interactions between users.

[0019] A solution for live streaming is proposed. The solution includes: presenting a content component in a first mode on a live streaming interface, the content component being used to present prompt information related to interactive information on the live streaming interface, wherein the first mode indicates that the content component is presented at a preset position on the live streaming interface; and, in response to receiving a first operation, presenting the content component in a second mode to support adjusting the presentation position of the content component.

[0020] In this way, while supporting the viewing of prompts, the presentation position of content components can be flexibly adjusted, thereby reducing the degree to which content components obscure the information that users expect to see in the live broadcast interface, and thus improving the efficiency of users obtaining information from the live broadcast interface.

[0021] Another solution for live streaming is proposed. This solution includes: presenting a live streaming interface to a user, who is different from the live streamer on the live streaming interface; and, in response to the live streamer's configuration operations, presenting content components on the live streaming interface, which are used to display prompt information related to the interactive information on the live streaming interface.

[0022] In this way, content components can be presented to users different from those on the live stream, along with prompts related to interactive information. This allows the user to better understand the interactive information on the live stream interface, thereby improving the efficiency with which the user obtains information from the live stream interface.

[0023] The following describes various examples of this scheme in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example Environment Figure 1 A schematic diagram of example environment 100 is shown. (e.g.) Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110.

[0025] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 can run an application 120 that supports live streaming. Application 120 can be any suitable type of application for live streaming. User 140 can interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0026] exist Figure 1 In environment 100, if application 120 is active, electronic device 110 can use application 120 to present interface 150 for supporting live streaming.

[0027] In some cases, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Electronic device 110 can 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 gaming terminals, VR / AR devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some cases, electronic device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0028] Server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. Server 130 may include, for example, computing systems / servers such as mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc. Server 130 can provide backend services for applications 120 in electronic devices 110 that support live streaming.

[0029] A communication connection can be established between server 130 and electronic device 110. This communication connection can be established via wired or wireless means. The communication connection can include, but is not limited to, Bluetooth, mobile network, Universal Serial Bus (USB), and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connections. In some cases, server 130 and electronic device 110 can exchange signaling information through their communication connection.

[0030] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the scheme.

[0031] The following description of the example will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example Interaction Figures 2A to 2I Example interfaces 200A to 200I for live streaming are shown according to some scenarios. Interfaces 200A to 200I can be, for example, by... Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0033] In some situations, electronic device 110 can present an interface for user interaction. As an example, such an interface could be a live streaming interface, used to present corresponding live streaming content. As an example, a user could be the live streamer corresponding to the live streaming interface, such as the user initiating the live stream. Alternatively, a user could be a user participating in the live stream, such as a guest user. Alternatively, a user could be a user watching the live stream, such as a viewer user, an administrator user, etc. For ease of description, this document will use the term "live streamer" to refer to the user initiating the live stream, "participant" to refer to a user different from the live streamer who participates in the live stream, and "viewer" to refer to a user watching the live stream, when distinctions are necessary. However, when no distinction is needed, a user can be any appropriate user capable of viewing the live streaming interface, such as the live streamer, guest, co-host user, viewer, etc.

[0034] For example, electronic device 110 can present Figure 2A The interface 200A shown can be, for example, a live streaming interface. The live streaming interface can display live streaming content 210, which can be, for example, live streaming content from the live streamer and / or participants. For example, if the live streamer initiates an audio live stream, the live streaming content can include audio content from the live streamer and / or participants, related visual effects, etc. Similarly, if the live streamer initiates a video live stream, the live streaming content can also include visual content from the live streamer and / or participants, etc.

[0035] In some examples, users can interact with each other through the live streaming interface. For instance, electronic device 110 can provide interactive information within the live streaming interface. As an example, such interactive information can be associated with one or more user interaction actions, such as posting comments, sending virtual resources, following the live streamer, referencing the live streamer, or other actions within the live streaming scenario. For example, such interactive information could indicate resource messages triggered by the user, reminders triggered by the user to view the live streaming interface, comments posted by the user, and so on.

[0036] As an example, such interactive information can be presented in a designated area or component of the live stream interface. For instance, the live stream interface may include areas 212-1, 212-2, and 212-3. Area 212-1 can be used to present resource messages triggered by the user, area 212-2 can be used to present reminder information triggered by the user to view the live stream interface (such as a reminder instructing a user to join the live stream scene corresponding to interface 200A), and area 212-3 can be used to present comments sent by the user (such as one or more comment messages). Alternatively, the interactive information can be presented in a designated component, such as a comment component, also known as a public screen component, which can present at least a portion of the aforementioned interactive information.

[0037] As an example, the comment content in area 212-3 or the comment component may include comment messages sent by audience users, comment messages sent by guest users, and so on. Alternatively or additionally, interactive content such as descriptive information from the live streamer may be permanently displayed in area 212-3 or the comment component (e.g., always displayed in a certain position on the live stream interface during the live stream).

[0038] In some examples, interactive content 221 can be presented in a scrolling manner within areas 212-3 or the comment component. As an example, electronic device 110 can move interactive content 212-3 according to a preset direction to update it in real time. Thus, interactive content 212-3 can move in a preset direction within the live streaming interface, for example, from bottom to top, to present a corresponding scrolling effect. Alternatively, after moving to a designated position (e.g., reaching the top of area 212-3 or the comment component), electronic device 110 can stop displaying interactive content 221 and present new comment content in a scrolling manner at the corresponding position (e.g., the bottom of area 212-3 or the comment component).

[0039] In some cases, such as Figure 2A As shown, to improve the efficiency of live streaming interaction, the electronic device 110 can display a content component 220 on the live streaming interface. This content component 220 can be used to display prompt information. For example, such prompt information can be related to the interactive information on the live streaming interface. For instance, such prompt information could be a summary of the interactive information on the live streaming interface, data analysis of the interactive information, a summary of the user associated with the live streaming interface (obtained based on information accessed with the corresponding user's authorization), and so on.

[0040] As an example, the prompt message can be generated based on the interactive information. For instance, a server (e.g., server 130) can use appropriate information processing tools (e.g., machine learning models, data analysis tools, content ranking tools, etc.) to process the interactive information and generate a processing result for that interactive information. The server can then generate a prompt message based on this processing result, which can be displayed on the live streaming interface by the electronic device 110.

[0041] In some cases, on the live streaming interface, the electronic device 110 can present the content component 220 in a first mode. This first mode could, for example, indicate that the content component 220 is presented at a preset location on the live streaming interface. As an example, the preset location could be any suitable location on the live streaming interface. For example, Figure 2A The interface 200A shown may be, for example, a live streaming interface that presents content component 220 in a first mode.

[0042] As an example, the preset location can be in a third area, which can be used to present interactive content associated with the live stream interface. For example, such a third area may include at least one of area 212-1, area 212-2, and area 212-3. Thus, area 212-3 can not only present interactive content (such as comments), but also the content component itself, to help users quickly understand interactive information related to the live stream interface.

[0043] Additionally, to improve the readability of the content components, in response to updates to the interactive content, the electronic device 110 can move the interactive content in the third area and maintain the content components displayed in a preset position. For example, as Figure 2A As shown, in area 212-3, the comment content can scroll in real time. However, while the comment content is scrolling, the content component 220 remains displayed at a preset position and does not scroll along with the comment content.

[0044] In some cases, when there is little interactive content or the user shrinks the size of the third area, the size of the third area can be smaller; conversely, when there is more interactive content or the user enlarges the size of the third area, the size of the third area can be larger. To improve interface readability, the first size of the content component can be related to the second size of the third area.

[0045] As an example, the first size of the content component can change as the second size of the third region changes. For instance, if the second size of the third region increases (or decreases) from the third size to the fourth size, the first size of the content component can increase (or decrease) from the fifth size to the sixth size. Alternatively, the electronic device 110 can also adjust the size of the content component based on user interaction, for example, the user can trigger the control 222 in the content component 220 to adjust the size of the content component (enlarge or shrink).

[0046] As an example, the first dimension and the second dimension can indicate height, width, etc. The first dimension and the second dimension can, for example, be dimensions within the same dimension. For instance, the height of the content component can be related to the height of the third region, the width of the content component can be related to the width of the third region, and so on. For ease of description, the following description uses region 212-3 as an example of the third region.

[0047] As an example, according to Figure 2B In the interface 200B shown, the height of area 213 can be "height 1" and the width can be "width 1". When the height of area 212-3 is "height 1", the height of content component 220 can be "height 2". For example, according to... Figure 2C In the interface 200C shown, when the height of region 212-3 is reduced from "height 1" to "height 3", the height of content component 220 can be reduced from "height 2" to "height 4".

[0048] Alternative or additional land, such as Figure 2B In the interface 200B shown, if the width of area 213 is "width 1", the width of content component 220 can also be "width 1". And according to... Figure 2D In the interface 200D shown, if the width of region 213 is "width 1", and the width of content component 220 is reduced from "width 1" to "width 2", the width of content component 220 can also be reduced from "width 1" to "width 2". It should be understood that this document uses the example of region 213 and content component 220 having the same width as an example for illustrative purposes, but it is not intended to limit the width of region 213 and content component 220 to be the same. For example, the width of region 213 and the width of content component 220 can also be different, and they can also have a corresponding relationship.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 2AIn some cases, electronic device 110 can receive a first operation and present content component 220 in a second mode. As an example, such a first operation can include any appropriate user interaction, such as a user triggering a control 221 in content component 220 to trigger the presentation of content component 220 in the second mode. Alternatively, a user can set the mode of content component 220 through settings to switch from a first mode to a second mode, and so on.

[0050] As an example, the content component 220 presented in the second mode can, for instance, support adjusting its position. For example, the content component 220 presented in the second mode can be an independent window, a component that supports position movement, etc. For instance, when the content component 220 is presented in the second mode, it can overlap other components or screen content displayed on the live streaming interface. Therefore, when the content component 220 is presented in the second mode, moving the content component 220 will not affect the layout of other components or screen content on the live streaming interface.

[0051] As an example, according to Figure 2E As shown in the interface 200E, the electronic device 110 can present the content component 220 in a second mode. Additionally, the electronic device 110 can receive a second operation and, based on the second operation, move the content component 220 from a first position to a second position. As an example, the second operation can include any appropriate user interaction operation, such as a drag operation on the content component 220, a click operation on a specified control or entry point, a swipe operation on the content component 220, etc.

[0052] As an example, Figure 2E In the interface 200E shown, the content component 220 may be positioned, for example, in a first position. Additionally, the electronic device 110 may receive a second operation to present... Figure 2F As shown in interface 200F, the content component 220 can be positioned, for example, in a second position. Therefore, users can flexibly adjust the position of the content component 220 within the live stream interface, thereby improving the efficiency with which users obtain information from the live stream.

[0053] In some examples, to avoid the content component 220 obscuring some interactive content or components, the movement range of the content component 220 can be within a first area. For example, the first area may include content that is less relevant to the user, so that the user can understand more relevant visual content or interactive content from the live broadcast interface.

[0054] As an example, according to Figure 2GThe interface 200G shown includes a live streaming interface with an area 212-4 (also known as the second area) for displaying live streaming content. The style of the live streaming interface can be related to the size or position of the second area. Therefore, the movable range of the content component 220 can be associated with the area 212-4 where the live streaming content is displayed. For example, the first area can be located within the second area.

[0055] As an example, such a first area could be related to the style of the live stream interface. For instance, the position or size of the interactive content may differ in different live stream interface styles, thus the first area could be an area of ​​different positions or sizes within the live stream interface. For example, if the style of the live stream interface indicates that the interactive content is hidden, the first area of ​​the live stream interface could be the entire area of ​​the live stream interface.

[0056] Alternatively or additionally, the style of the live stream interface can be related to the live stream event, and such events can be associated with the live stream interface. As an example, the style of the live stream interface can be related to the number of participants supported by the live stream event. For instance, in an audio live stream scenario, because the visual content has a lower relevance to the user, the first area can be as follows: Figure 2G As shown, it can, for example, cover the live content. In a video live streaming scenario, since the live content is highly relevant to the user, the first area can be, for example, the area where the interactive content is located or other appropriate areas, to avoid the content component 220 obscuring the live content.

[0057] In some examples, users can flexibly adjust the presentation state of content components. Different presentation states may correspond to different sizes or positions, for example. As an example, in response to a content component being presented in a first mode or a second mode, the electronic device 110 may receive a third operation to change the presentation state of the content component.

[0058] As an example, the third operation could be any appropriate interaction with the content component 220, such as a trigger operation on the control 222, a sliding operation on the content component 220 in a specified direction, etc. As an example, the content component is associated with multiple presentation states, each corresponding to a different size.

[0059] For example, Figure 2A In the interface 200A shown, the presentation state of the content component 220 can be, for example, a first presentation state, which can correspond to a size of "height 1". As another example, in the interface 200C shown in 2C, the presentation state of the content component 220 can be, for example, a second presentation state, which can correspond to a size of "height 2". Furthermore, according to... Figure 2HAs shown in interface 200H, the presentation state of content component 220 can be, for example, a third presentation state, which may correspond to a size smaller than height 2. Alternatively, when content component 220 is presented in a second mode, it can also be associated with multiple corresponding presentation states. For specific implementations, please refer to the example presented in the first mode, which will not be exhaustively described here.

[0060] In this way, while supporting the viewing of prompts, the presentation position of content components can be flexibly adjusted, thereby reducing the degree to which content components obscure the information that users expect to see in the live broadcast interface, and thus improving the efficiency of users obtaining information from the live broadcast interface.

[0061] In some cases, the live streamer can also authorize other users (users different from the live streamer, such as guest users) to view content components on their respective devices. For example, the live streamer can authorize participants in the live event to view content components. As an example, according to... Figure 2I As shown in interface 200I, the live streamer can configure content component 220 through configuration component 230 and configure permissions for content component 220 through configuration item 231. Additionally, electronic device 110 can authorize users to view content components based on the live streamer's configuration. Thus, the user (e.g., a user authorized by the live streamer) can view the content components through the live stream interface.

[0062] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 3A To be continued Figure 3C This describes a sample interaction process between a user authorized by the live streaming provider and the live streaming interface. Figures 3A to 3C Example interfaces 300A to 300C for live streaming are shown according to other scenarios. Interfaces 300A to 300C can, for example, be provided by... Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0063] In some examples, Figure 3A The interface 300A shown can be a live streaming interface presented to a user, who is different from the live streamer on the live streaming interface. For example, this user can be a participant in a live streaming event associated with the live streaming interface. Further, in response to the live streamer's configuration operation, content components are presented on the live streaming interface. These content components are used to present prompt information, which is related to the interactive information of the live streaming interface. For example, according to... Figure 3A The interface 300A shown allows the electronic device 110 to display content component 310. For ease of description, the following description uses the user as the first participant in the live event as an example.

[0064] In some cases, upon receiving configuration instructions from the live streaming provider, the electronic device 110 can directly display the content component 310. Alternatively, upon receiving configuration instructions from the live streaming provider, the electronic device 110 may also display the content component 310 on the live streaming interface only after the user has enabled the service of the content component 310. For example, the user can trigger any appropriate interactive operation to trigger the display. Figure 3B The interface shown is 300B. (As shown in the image) Figure 3B As shown, the electronic device 110 can display the configuration component 320 and use the configuration component 320 to switch the presentation state of the content component 310 in the live broadcast interface (e.g., display or stop displaying).

[0065] Alternatively or additionally, the presentation state of the content component can also be switched based on whether the first participant is involved in the live event. For example, in response to the end of the live event or a user exiting the live event, the electronic device 110 stops presenting the content component. Thus, some examples in this paper can improve the security of live content.

[0066] In some examples, continue to refer to Figure 3A The electronic device 110 can present prompt information in the content component 310. Such prompt information may be related to, for example, first interactive information for a first participant, and may be independent of, second interactive information for a second participant. As an example, the first interactive information for the first participant may indicate at least one of the following: a comment action for the first participant; a resource interaction action for the first participant. For example, the first interactive information for the first participant may indicate a virtual resource sent by a viewer to the first participant, referencing a comment message sent by the first participant, etc. Such first interactive information may, for example, represent other users interacting with the first participant.

[0067] Alternatively or additionally, with authorization from the live streamer, the prompts displayed in the content components of each participant can be targeted. For example, a second interactive message for a second participant can be presented in that participant's content component, but not in the first participant's content component. Thus, some examples in this paper can improve the efficiency of users obtaining information.

[0068] Alternative or additional sites, please continue to consider. Figure 3A The first participant can interact with the content component 310 and virtual objects (e.g., called a smart assistant) to gain a deeper understanding of the live stream. For example, the first participant can trigger a fourth action on the content component to initiate presentation. Figure 3CThe interface 300C shown is an example. As an example, interface 300C can be a session interface with a virtual object, through which the first participant can interact with the virtual object.

[0069] As an example, on the one hand, virtual objects can have virtual avatars for interaction. On the other hand, virtual objects can also realize their interactive behaviors through intelligent systems. For example, an intelligent system refers to a system that can autonomously control itself based on machine learning models. An intelligent system, for example, is a virtual object or entity that can make decisions and autonomously execute actions based on machine learning models to achieve preset goals or complete preset tasks. An intelligent system can be an automated program that can understand the user's intent and can use models or invoke tools to complete various types of tasks. In some cases, examples of intelligent systems may include, but are not limited to: agents, bots, chatbots, digital avatars, intelligent customer service, digital assistants, etc. Alternatively, an intelligent system can also be an intelligent role implemented based on a machine learning model. An "intelligent system" can process user requests based on generative models (e.g., language models, multimodal models) to perform specified types of tasks. In some cases, an intelligent system may also relate to virtual accounts, which may have corresponding avatars or nicknames. In some examples in this paper, various interactive processes and / or generative operations performed by virtual objects can be actually performed using an intelligent system.

[0070] Alternatively or additionally, the virtual object can provide users with information related to the live stream. For example, the electronic device 110 can display descriptive content in the session interface (e.g., in the session window 330 of the session interface), the descriptive content being related to the user's interactions during the live stream. For example, such descriptive content can include information about the user's interactions with other users during the live stream, such as the number of comments, resources sent, and feedback received by viewers during the live stream. This allows users to gain a more intuitive understanding of the live stream's progress.

[0071] Alternatively or additionally, the virtual object can provide the primary participant with information related to the live stream event. For example, the description could describe the primary participant's interactions during the live stream event. For instance, taking a live stream event as a co-op event, the description could describe the primary participant's interactions during the co-op event, such as the number of comments and resources sent by viewers. This allows the primary participant to gain a more intuitive understanding of the live stream's progress.

[0072] In this way, content components can be presented to users different from those on the live stream, along with prompts related to interactive information. This allows the user to better understand the interactive information on the live stream interface, thereby improving the efficiency with which the user obtains information from the live stream interface.

[0073] Example process Figure 4 A flowchart of an example process 400 for live streaming is shown, based on some scenarios. Process 400 can be implemented at electronic device 110. See below for reference. Figure 1 To describe process 400.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown in box 410, the electronic device 110 presents a content component in a first mode on the live streaming interface. The content component is used to present prompt information, which is related to the interactive information of the live streaming interface. The first mode indicates that the content component is presented at a preset position on the live streaming interface.

[0075] In box 420, electronic device 110 responds to receiving a first operation by presenting a content component in a second mode to support adjusting the presentation position of the content component.

[0076] In some cases, process 400 further includes: receiving a second operation; and, based on the second operation, moving the content component from a first position to a second position.

[0077] In some cases, the movement range of the content component is within a first area, which is related to the style of the live streaming interface.

[0078] In this way, some examples in this article can support flexible movement of content components within the first area, thereby reducing the degree to which content components obscure other areas of the live broadcast interface, thus ensuring that users obtain more comprehensive information.

[0079] In some cases, the live streaming interface includes a second area for displaying the live streaming content, the style of which is related to the size or position of the second area.

[0080] In some cases, the live stream interface is associated with the live stream event, and its style is related to the number of participants supported by the live stream event.

[0081] In this way, some examples in this article can flexibly configure the movable range of content components through live content and live events, thereby improving the efficiency of interface interaction.

[0082] In some cases, process 400 further includes: receiving a third operation in response to the content component being rendered in a first mode or a second mode, to change the rendering state of the content component, wherein the content component is associated with multiple rendering states, the multiple rendering states corresponding to different sizes.

[0083] In some cases, presenting content components in the first mode includes: presenting content components at preset positions in a third area, the third area also being used to present interactive content associated with the live streaming interface.

[0084] In some cases, process 400 also includes: moving the interactive content in a third area in response to an update of the interactive content, and maintaining the content component in a preset position.

[0085] In some cases, the first size of the content component is related to the second size of the third area.

[0086] In this way, some examples in this paper can ensure the display quality of content components and interactive content and improve the efficiency of users obtaining information by coordinating the relationship between the display of content components and the display of interactive content.

[0087] Figure 5 A flowchart of an example process 500 for live streaming, based on other scenarios, is shown. Process 500 can be implemented at electronic device 110. See below for reference. Figure 1 To describe process 500.

[0088] like Figure 5 As shown in box 510, electronic device 110 presents a live broadcast interface to the user, who is different from the live broadcaster on the live broadcast interface.

[0089] In frame 520, electronic device 110 responds to the configuration operation of the live streaming party and presents content components on the live streaming interface. The content components are used to present prompt information, which is related to the interactive information of the live streaming interface.

[0090] In some cases, the live streaming interface is associated with the live streaming event, and the user is the primary participant in the live streaming event.

[0091] In some cases, process 500 further includes: presenting a prompt message in the content component, the prompt message being related to the first interaction message for the first participant and independent of the second interaction message for the second participant.

[0092] In this way, some examples in this article can provide targeted prompts to participants, thereby improving the efficiency of participants in obtaining information.

[0093] In some cases, the first interaction message indicates at least one of the following: a comment action for the first participant; a resource interaction action for the first participant.

[0094] In some cases, process 500 also includes: stopping the presentation of content components in response to the end of a live event or a user exiting the live event.

[0095] In some cases, process 500 further includes: in response to a fourth operation on the content component, presenting a session interface for interacting with virtual objects; and in the session interface, presenting descriptive content related to the user's interaction during the live stream.

[0096] In some cases, the live streaming interface is associated with the live streaming event, the user is a participant in the live streaming event, and the description content describes the interaction of the participants in the live streaming event.

[0097] In this way, some examples in this paper can provide users with higher quality descriptive content in the session with virtual objects to describe the interactions with the user, thereby further improving the efficiency of users in obtaining information.
