[0053] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a system 200 for providing content to be displayed on a user equipment 250, according to at least some embodiments described herein.

[0054] System 200 includes a media platform 202. Media platform 202 includes one or more processors 204 and one or more storage devices 206. User device 250 includes one or more processors 254, one or more storage devices 256, and a display 258. User device 250 also includes one or more sensors 260, which will be discussed in more detail below. For example, the media platform 202 in the embodiments may be... Figure 1 Server 150 in the example. For example, user equipment 250 in the embodiment may be... Figure 1 One of the terminal devices 110, 120, 130, and 140.

[0055] Media platform 202 provides content 290 to user device 250 for display to the user of user device 250. For example, user device 250 can access and view content 290 on media platform 202 (e.g., display content on display 258). Content 290 is generated on media platform 202. Interactive elements are embedded in content 290 via media platform 202. The interactive elements embedded in content 290 are configured to interact with user device 250 when content 290 is displayed on user device 250. The interactive elements are configured to react on demand when content 290 is displayed on user device 250.

[0056] User equipment 250 includes multiple sensors 260 for sensing by user equipment 250. For example, the multiple sensors 260 may include, but are not limited to, multiple motion sensors 262 (e.g., multiple accelerometer sensors, multiple gyroscope sensors, multiple vibration sensors, etc.), multiple vision sensors 264 (e.g., multiple cameras, multiple infrared sensors, etc.), multiple touch sensors 266 (multiple haptic sensors, multiple touchscreen sensors, etc.), multiple audio sensors 268 (e.g., microphones, etc.), etc.

[0057] User equipment 250 may use multiple sensors 260 to sense user interactions with user equipment 250. The user interactions sensed by user equipment 250 and multiple sensors 260 are not particularly limited. For example, multiple sensors 260 may sense user interactions by detecting changes in the position of user equipment 250 (e.g., multiple motion sensors 262 and / or multiple vision sensors 264 detect user movement, tilting, etc.). For example, multiple sensors 260 may sense user interactions by visually detecting user movement near user equipment 250 (e.g., multiple vision sensors 264 detect user movement in the environment of user equipment 250). For example, multiple sensors 260 may sense user touch (e.g., multiple touch sensors 266 detect user taps, swipes, etc.). For example, multiple sensors 260 may sense user interactions by detecting user voice (e.g., multiple sound sensors 268 detect sounds created by the user, such as the user's voice).

[0058] In one embodiment, user equipment 250 includes a plurality of motion sensors 262 configured to detect movement of user equipment 250 (e.g., movement of user equipment 250 by user). For example, the plurality of motion sensors 262 may detect tilt of user equipment 250 (e.g., by user).

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the sensors 260 may be integrated sensors of the user equipment 250. In one embodiment, the user equipment 250 may include one or more peripheral sensors for sensing user interactions (e.g., Figure 2 One or more of the sensors in the device are peripheral sensors. User equipment 250 may be connected to one or more peripheral devices 280 (e.g., wirelessly or via a wired connection). Peripheral sensors are sensors of peripheral devices 280. Examples of peripheral devices 280 may include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, headphones (e.g., virtual reality headphones or alternative reality headphones), user motion tracking devices, etc.

[0060] When content 290 is displayed on user device 250 (e.g., on display 258 of user device 250), the embedded interactive element reacts on demand. The interactive element reacts on demand in response to sensing by sensors 260 of user device 250. For example, the interactive element is configured to react on demand to user interactions with user device 250 detected by sensors 260 of user device 250. In one embodiment, the interactive element reacts to changes in sensing by one or more sensors 260.

[0061] Interactive elements can be configured to react dynamically on demand. For example, interactive elements adjust as the user device 250 senses changes. In a non-limiting example, interactive elements react dynamically on demand by changing in a manner corresponding to changes in the user device 250's sensing. For example, interactive elements change as the user device 250 senses changes. Interactive elements can react in real time to the user device 250's sensing (e.g., react in real time to the sensing of (multiple) sensors 260).

[0062] Multiple sensors 260 can generate sensor data (e.g., motion sensor data, vision sensor data, touch sensor data, audio sensor data, etc., or combinations thereof) corresponding to sensing performed by user device 250. When content is displayed on user device 250, the sensor data is utilized by interactive elements embedded in the content. The interactive elements react to the sensor data on demand. For example, the interactive elements can react dynamically to the sensor data (e.g., the interactive elements change as the sensor data changes). For example, the interactive elements can react in real-time to real-time sensor data provided by the sensors.

[0063] The configuration of the embedded interactive elements allows a user to interact with user device 250, causing changes sensed by the user device 250's sensors(s), resulting in real-time changes to the interactive elements embedded in the displayed content. The configuration of the embedded interactive elements also allows a user to manipulate / interact with user device 250 in a controlled manner, causing real-time changes to the interactive elements embedded in the displayed content. For example, user interaction with user device 250 occurs on demand, ensuring that changes to the interactive elements are not confused with previous video responses to the interactive elements. In one embodiment, the embedded interactive elements can be used to authenticate content generated on a media platform.

[0064] In one embodiment, the interactive element is an interactive visual component. The interactive visual component responds on demand to sensing by the user device 250 as discussed herein. The interactive visual component may be embedded as an overlay map of content. In one example, the content to be displayed on the user device is an image and / or video, and the interactive visual component is embedded as an overlay map on the image and / or video. The interactive visual component responds by changing one or more visual characteristics of the interactive visual component. Exemplary visual characteristics may include, but are not limited to, the reflection angle, viewing angle, brightness, color, shape, etc. of the interactive visual component.

[0065] In one embodiment, the interactive visual component can be one or more of the following, but is not limited to: a dim effect, a parallax effect, a pulsed glow effect, and a color scheme effect. A dim effect can provide light reflection over an area that changes on demand (e.g., the light reflection of a surface changes as the user device 250 senses it). A dim effect can also be referred to as a gloss effect. In some non-limiting examples, the area of ​​the dim effect can have a metallic or foil appearance embedded in the content or a glass planar appearance. A parallax effect can provide an area where the viewing angle of the display changes on demand (e.g., the viewing angle changes as the user device 250 senses it). A pulsed glow effect can provide a pulsed glow that changes on demand (e.g., the pulse rate, brightness, etc., change as the user device 250 senses it). It should be understood that other suitable types of visual effects besides those listed can be used for the interactive visual component.

[0066] Operation of the interactive elements can occur on media platform 202 (e.g., using processor 204) or on user device 250 (e.g., using processor 254). In one example embodiment, the interactive elements respond on user device 250. The interactive elements utilize user device 250 to respond on demand to sensing by user device 250 (e.g., processor(s)254 of user device 250 are used to manipulate the interactive elements in the displayed content to respond on demand to sensing by user device 250). In another example embodiment, operation of the interactive elements occurs on media platform 202. For example, user device 250 may provide sensor data 292 to media platform 202, and the interactive elements utilize media platform 202 to respond on demand to the sensor data (e.g., processor(s)204 of media platform 202 are used to manipulate the interactive elements based on sensor data from user device 250), and content is displayed by user device 250, wherein the embedded interactive elements respond to sensing by user device 250.

[0067] Figures 3A-3C The illustrations depict interactive elements embedded in content according to at least some embodiments described herein. Figures 3A-3CIn the middle, short dashed lines are used as reference lines to prevent confusion between the reference lines and the features shown.

[0068] Figure 3A The illustration depicts content 300A for display to a user on a user device (e.g., user device 250). Content 300A is generated on a media platform (e.g., media platform 202). In the illustrated embodiment, content 300A is social media content intended for use on a social media platform. In another embodiment, content 300A may be, but is not limited to, social media posts, shareable statuses, stories, etc., on a media platform.

[0069] Content 300A is generated on a media platform. Content 300A can be generated based on a user's device profile (e.g., the user's user profile). For example, content 300A may include one or more graphical components 302 generated based on the user's device profile. Figure 3A As shown, a non-limiting example of graphical component 302 is the continuous state of a user profile (e.g., a user's posting continuity, login continuity, etc.). Other non-limiting examples of graphical components (multiples) 302 may include, but are not limited to, friendship states (e.g., friendship states / durations between user profiles), stories (e.g., a summary of a user profile's history, a topic's history, a channel's history on a media platform, etc.), shared content from another user on a self-media platform, etc. It should be understood that content 300A may include graphical components (multiples) 302 of different types than those discussed above.

[0070] Content 300A may also include one or more sharing components 304, 306. Sharing components 304, 306 are sharing features of content 300A on the media platform. Sharing components 304, 306 can change when content 300A is shared on the media platform. In the example shown, sharing components 304, 306 include a first sharing component 304 and a second sharing component 304, where the first sharing component 304 illustrates the number of "likes" for content 300A on the media platform, and the second sharing component 304 illustrates the number of user comments on content 300A on the media platform. It should be understood that content 300A may include sharing components(s) 304, 306 of different types than those discussed above. Components(s) 302, 304, 306 of the content do not respond to sensing by sensors(s) of the user device(s) (e.g., are not configured to respond to sensing by one or more sensors(s) of the user device).

[0071] Figure 3BAn interactive element 320 is illustrated, embedded in content 300A according to at least some embodiments described herein. The interactive element 320 is embedded in content 300A. Content 300A having the embedded interactive element 320 is referred to as content 300B. For example, content 300B may be referred to as interactive content. The interactive element 320 is embedded in content 300A to form an overall object (e.g., forming...). Figure 3B Content 300B). In one embodiment, the media platform can generate content 300A and then add interactive elements 320 to content 300A to form content 300B. In another embodiment, the media platform can directly generate content 300B, wherein the generated content 300A includes embedded interactive elements 320.

[0072] exist Figure 3B In this example, interactive element 320 is a shimmering effect. The shimmering effect is configured to provide a shimmer (e.g., gloss) within content 300B. In the illustrated embodiment, the shimmering effect is typically transparent, such that the shimmer does not affect content 300A in which the shimmering effect is embedded. For example, because the shimmering effect is typically transparent, it does not alter the content of content 300B (e.g., it does not change any shape of components 302, 304, 306 in content 300A, and it does not obscure any components 302, 304, 306 of content 300A). Figure 3B The transparent shimmering effect can be represented as a transparent glass shimmer set on top of the content 300A.

[0073] In content 300B, interactive element 320 may be embedded / configured to cover at least one component 302, 304, 306 of content 300A. In the illustrated embodiment, interactive element 320 is provided to cover at least one graphical component 302 of content 300A. Interactive element 320 covers a portion of content 300A (e.g., covers an area smaller than content 300A). In another embodiment, interactive element 300 may cover the entire area of ​​content 300A.

[0074] Figure 3C An example of an interactive element 330 embedded in content 300A according to at least some embodiments described herein is illustrated. The interactive element 330 is embedded in content 300A. For example, content 300C may be referred to as interactive content. The interactive element 330 is embedded in content 300A to form an overall object (e.g., forming...). Figure 3C The content in 300C). As mentioned above about Figure 3B Similarly, content 300C can be formed either by generating content 300A separately from interactive element 330 or by generating content 300C directly.

[0075] exist Figure 3C In this example, interactive element 330 is a shimmering effect. The shimmering effect is configured to provide a subtle glow (e.g., gloss) within content 300C. In the illustrated embodiment, the shimmering effect is opaque, such that the shimmer will cover any features / components that overlap with content 300A. Figure 3C Interactive element 330 is provided so that it does not overlap with any components 302, 304, 306 in content 300A because the shimmering effect of interactive element 330 is opaque. Since no opaque shimmering effect is provided on any component of content 300A, the embedded opaque shimmering effect does not alter any component / feature of content 300A (e.g., does not change any shape of components 302, 304, 306 in content 300A, and does not obscure any components 302, 304, 306 in content 300A). For example, Figure 3C The opaque shimmering effect can be represented as a metallic shimmer on content 300A.

[0076] In one embodiment, an interactive element embedded in the content may include an interactive sound component. The interactive sound component can be configured to interact with a user device and react on demand as the content is displayed. The interactive sound component can be configured to react on demand as discussed herein with respect to interactive elements. The interactive sound component may have one or more features that change on demand in response to sensing by the user device. Features of the on-demand changing interactive sound component may include, but are not limited to, pitch, loudness, volume, tempo, etc. In one embodiment, the interactive sound component may provide a non-visual interactive element within the displayed content that reacts on demand to sensing by the user device. For example, a non-visual interactive component / element may allow a user to non-visually confirm that the currently displayed content was generated on a media platform. In one embodiment, an interactive element without visual components may be provided (i.e., the interactive element is an interactive sound component, and the interactive element does not include interactive visual components). The interactive sound component may allow a user to confirm that the displayed content was generated on a media platform without incorporating visual elements into the content.

[0077] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an example process 1000 for displaying content on a media platform according to at least some embodiments described herein. Process flow 1000 may include various operations, functions, or actions as shown in one or more of blocks 1010, 1012, 1020, and 1030. These various operations, functions, or actions may, for example, correspond to processor-executable software, program code, or program instructions that cause these functions to be performed. Processing may begin at block 1010.

[0078] In box 1010, the media platform obtains the content used for display on the user's device. For example, such as... Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments, the media platform 202 may be implemented by a system 200 for providing content 290 for display on user device 250.

[0079] In one embodiment, obtaining content on the media platform in box 1010 includes generating content on the media platform in box 1012. In box 1012, content is generated on the media platform and interactive elements are embedded within the content. (As mentioned above...) Figure 3B Similarly, media platforms can generate content independently and then embed interactive elements into it, or they can generate content on the media platform that already includes embedded interactive elements. Content can be generated based on the user's device profile (e.g., the user's profile of the user on the user's device).

[0080] In one example, the media platform may receive a content request from a user device in box 1014. In box 1014, the media platform may generate content in box 1012 in response to the content request from the user device. For example, the content request may ask the media platform to generate a story, a shareable form of content from another user on the media platform, a shareable status, etc. In another example, in box 1014, the media platform may generate content based on predetermined conditions in the user profile (e.g., status anniversaries, new friendships, etc.). Process 1000 and then proceed to box 1020.

[0081] In box 1020, content is applied with interactive elements embedded within it for interaction with the user's device. Interactive elements can be embedded in the content such that they do not cause substantial changes to other components of the content (e.g., they do not substantially change...). Figure 3A Components 302, 304, and 306 are shown. Interactive elements in the content are configured to interact with the user device. These interactive elements react on demand as the content is displayed on the user device. For example, interactive elements in the displayed content react on demand to sensing by the user device (e.g., react on demand to user interactions with the user device that change / influence sensing by the user device). Interactive elements in the displayed content can dynamically react in real-time to sensing by the user device. Processing 1000 can then proceed to box 1030.

[0082] In box 1030, content with embedded interactive elements is provided to a user device. For example, a content platform provides content with embedded interactive elements to a user device. In one embodiment, content with embedded interactive elements can be provided by being transmitted to the user device. In another embodiment, content with embedded interactive elements can be provided by being accessed by the user device on a media platform.

[0083] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating an example process 1100 for obtaining content from a media platform according to at least some embodiments described herein. Process 1100 may include various operations, functions, or actions as shown in one or more of blocks 1110, 1120, 1122. These various operations, functions, or actions may, for example, correspond to processor-executable software, program code, or program instructions that cause these functions to be performed. Process 1000 may begin at block 1110.

[0084] In box 1110, content is requested for display on the user's device. The user's device can request content from a media platform. For example, such as... Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments, media platform 202 can be implemented by system 200, and user device 250 can request content from the media platform (e.g., content request 292) to be displayed on user device 250. In one embodiment, the request at block 1110 can be a request initiated by the user device to view content on the media platform. In another embodiment, the request at block 1110 can be a request initiated by the user device to the media platform to provide content to the user device for viewing. Processing 1100 can then proceed to block 1120.

[0085] In box 1120, content is displayed on the user's device. For example, as shown... Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment, content can be displayed on the display 258 of user device 250. At block 1120, during the display of content on the user device, interactive elements embedded in the content respond on demand to sensing by the user device at block 1122. Block 1120 may include sensing using multiple sensors of the user device. For example, interactive elements in the displayed content respond on demand to sensing by multiple sensors of the user device. Interactive elements in the displayed content can respond to sensing by the user device in real time on demand. This allows the user to manipulate the user device to cause a response to interactive elements embedded in the content being displayed on the user device. In one embodiment, the real-time response of the interactive elements can be used by the user to confirm that the content was generated on a media platform.
