[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of computers, and more specifically to a content publishing method, apparatus, device, and computer program product. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of network communication and terminal device technologies, it has become increasingly common for users to publish images, videos, and other content through applications. Content publishing platforms typically provide users with a content selection page, allowing them to choose content from their local photo albums, media libraries, or other content sources, and then edit and publish it. Furthermore, for users with live streaming experience, past live streams may contain segments that can be reused for secondary publishing, such as highlights, interactive segments, or other valuable clips. These segments reflect the effective content of the live stream and have high reuse value. Summary of the Invention

[0022] It is understood that all user-related data involved in this technical solution should be obtained and used only after authorization from the user. This means that if it is necessary to use a user's personal information in this technical solution, the user's explicit consent and authorization are required before obtaining this data; otherwise, no related data collection and use will be carried out. It should also be understood that when implementing this technical solution, relevant laws and regulations should be strictly followed in the process of data collection, use, and storage, and necessary technical measures should be taken to protect user data security and ensure the secure use of data.

[0023] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0024] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects unless explicitly stated. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0025] As mentioned earlier, with the development of network communication technology and terminal device technology, it has become increasingly common for users to publish images, videos, and other content through applications. However, in these content publishing methods, users typically need to manually search for suitable content from a large number of images, videos, or other materials after entering the content publishing process. Even if users already have publishable live stream segments in their historical live streams, they may find it difficult to recognize these segments or quickly locate them during the content publishing process, resulting in the live stream segments not being effectively used for content publishing. Therefore, these technologies suffer from low efficiency in discovering live stream segments and insufficient utilization of live stream segments in the content publishing process.

[0026] Therefore, this disclosure provides a content publishing method. During the content publishing process, a search entry point and search suggestions related to the live stream segments can be displayed, enabling users to perceive available live stream segments for publishing after entering the publishing process. After a user initiates a search through the search entry point, live stream segments matching the search results can be presented for the user to view and use during the publishing process. Furthermore, after the user interacts with the presented live stream segments, they can enter a subsequent publishing page, where content related to the live stream segments and awaiting publication is displayed.

[0027] Therefore, by guiding users to discover and use live stream clips from past live streams during the content publishing process, live stream clips can be more smoothly integrated into the publishing process, and the operational cost for users to find available live stream materials when publishing content is reduced, thus improving the user experience when publishing content.

[0028] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which some embodiments of this disclosure may be implemented is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, environment 100 includes computing device 110. Computing device 110 can be various types of electronic devices, such as mobile devices, desktop computers, laptop computers, or servers, or it can be a computing system, a single server, a distributed server, or a cloud-based server.

[0029] During content publishing, application page 120 may display search controls 130 and information 140. For example, application page 120 may be provided by a short video application, live streaming application, social application, content sharing application, or other applications with content publishing capabilities. In some embodiments, a user can trigger an operation on the content creation entry point provided by the application to initiate the content publishing process and enter application page 120. Application page 120 may, for example, be a material selection page for selecting content to be published. Application page 120 may also display multiple media content items, which may include images, videos, or other content suitable for publishing.

[0030] Information 140 relates to search content related to live stream segments and is used to prompt users to find live stream segments from historical live streams using the search control 130. For example, information 140 may include prompts such as "Search your live stream segment". By displaying this prompt during content publishing, users can promptly recognize the existence of live stream segments available for publishing in historical live streams, avoiding situations where users abandon publishing due to a lack of awareness of the existence of relevant materials or uncertainty about the content to be published. This facilitates users in finding and using live stream segments to complete content publishing.

[0031] In some embodiments, information 140 may be displayed in the search control 130. For example, information 140 may be displayed as gray prompt text in the input area of ​​the search control 130 for the user's reference when entering search terms. In some embodiments, information 140 may be displayed in the search control 130 as interactive prompt content, allowing the user to directly initiate a search corresponding to information 140 after clicking or touching information 140.

[0032] In some embodiments, information 140 can be displayed adjacent to search control 130. For example, information 140 can be located to the left or right of search control 130 to form a horizontal side-by-side layout; it can also be located above or below search control 130 to form a vertical layout. In this way, users can notice search suggestions related to live segments when viewing or operating search control 130.

[0033] In some embodiments, information 140 may be displayed in the form of bubbles, cards, pop-ups, or overlays. For example, when displayed as a bubble, information 140 may be presented as a prompt bubble pointing to the search control 130 to indicate that the information is related to the search control 130. When displayed as a card, information 140 may be located in a separate area near the search control 130, and the card may display text content related to the live stream segment search. When displayed as a pop-up, information 140 may be displayed on top of the application page 120 after the user enters the application page 120 to prompt the user to search for live stream segments in the historical live streams. When displayed as an overlay, information 140 may be displayed floating in a local area of ​​the application page 120 and disappear or collapse after the user performs a corresponding operation.

[0034] When information 140 is displayed in the above-described format, it can be used solely to provide search suggestions to the user, or it can be configured as an interactive object. After the user performs a click, touch, or other triggering operation on information 140, the search control 130 can enter an input state, or a search corresponding to information 140 can be initiated directly. In this way, live segment search guidance can be provided to the user through various page layouts and display formats to adapt to different application pages and interaction methods.

[0035] The computing device 110 can obtain search information through the search control 130. In some embodiments, a user can perform a trigger operation on the information 140 displayed in the search control 130, and the computing device 110 can determine the information 140 or the content corresponding to the information 140 as the search information after detecting the trigger operation. In some embodiments, a user can enter search content in the search control 130, and the computing device 110 determines the content entered by the user as the search information.

[0036] The computing device 110 can determine matching live stream segments based on search information and display the search results 160 on the application page 150. For example, the search information can be processed by text recognition, keyword extraction, semantic analysis, or other methods to determine the content theme, live stream scene, or segment type expressed by the search information, and to filter live stream segments that match the search information from the available live stream segments. The search results 160 can be displayed in the form of thumbnails, cover images, list items, grid items, or cards, and can simultaneously display the duration, generation time, segment type, or other relevant information of the live stream segment for users to view and select.

[0037] Search results 160 may include one or more live stream clips. Live stream clips may be content segments generated or captured and saved during a user's historical live streams, such as clips determined based on visual content, audio content, interaction, or other live stream data. Live stream clips may include continuous video content from the live stream, or video content that has been cropped, spliced, or otherwise processed. Live stream clips may be stored in the local storage space of computing device 110, or in cloud storage space communicatively connected to computing device 110.

[0038] In some embodiments, search results 160 may display each live stream segment in a list, grid, card, or other format. The display area corresponding to each live stream segment may include a segment cover, segment name, segment duration, generation time, live stream session, segment type, or other information used to describe the live stream segment. Users can use the above information to gain a preliminary understanding of the content of the live stream segments and identify live stream segments that match their publishing needs from search results 160.

[0039] Users can view, preview, play, select, deselect, or perform other operations on the live stream segments in Search Results 160. For example, users can enter preview mode by clicking the cover of a live stream segment to view its content; they can also select a live stream segment by clicking the selection control. If Search Results 160 includes multiple live stream segments, users can select one or more segments for later content generation, editing, or publishing.

[0040] After a user performs an action on search results 160, application page 150 can switch to application page 170, where published content 180 is displayed. For example, a user can click and select one or more live stream segments from search results 160, and then trigger an action on a flow control to enter application page 170. Application page 170 can display published content 180 related to the live stream segments selected by the user, allowing the user to continue editing, confirming, or publishing. Published content 180 is related to the live stream segments selected by the user and may include the live stream segments themselves, or it may include content to be edited or published generated based on the live stream segments.

[0041] In some embodiments, after a user selects one or more live stream segments, they can first enter a content editing page. The content editing page can display content to be edited based on the user-selected live stream segments and provide corresponding editing functions. Users can trim, splice, adjust the playback order, or add editing elements such as effects, stickers, filters, text, and audio according to their publishing needs. After completing the editing, users can enter application page 170 to preview, confirm, and publish the edited content.

[0042] After users complete the editing and confirmation of the published content 180, they can trigger the subsequent publishing process through the publishing control 190 to submit the published content 180 to the corresponding content publishing platform. Thus, by guiding users to discover and use live stream clips from historical broadcasts during the content publishing process, live stream clips can enter the publishing process more smoothly, reducing the operational cost for users to find available live stream materials when publishing content and improving the user experience.

[0043] It should be understood that the architecture and functionality in example environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure. Embodiments of this disclosure can also be applied to other environments with different structures and / or functionalities.

[0044] The following will combine Figures 2 to 10 The process according to embodiments of this disclosure is described in detail. For ease of understanding, the specific data mentioned in the following description are exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. It is understood that the embodiments described below may also include additional actions not shown and / or actions shown may be omitted, and the scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0045] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a content publishing method 200 according to some embodiments of this disclosure is shown. Method 200 can be, for example, by... Figure 1 The method is executed by the computing device 110. It should be understood that method 200 may also include additional actions not shown, and the scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect. The following is in conjunction with... Figure 1 Example environment 100 is used to describe method 200 in detail.

[0046] In box 202, a search control and initial information are displayed, indicating the search terms associated with the live stream segment. For example, combined with... Figure 1 As described, computing device 110 can display search control 130 and information 140, with information 140 indicating search content associated with the live segment.

[0047] At box 204, based on the search information obtained through the search control, search results corresponding to the search information are displayed, the search results including at least one live stream segment. For example, combined with... Figure 1 As described above, computing device 110 can display search results 160 corresponding to search information obtained through search control 130, and search results 160 includes at least one live segment.

[0048] At box 206, in response to an action on the search results, a first page is displayed, the first page including published content associated with at least one live stream segment. For example, combined with... Figure 1 As described, computing device 110 can display application page 170 in response to an operation on search results 160, application page 170 including published content 180 associated with at least one live segment.

[0049] Therefore, according to the method 200 of the embodiments of this disclosure, by guiding users to discover and use live broadcast segments in historical live broadcasts during the content publishing process, live broadcast segments can enter the publishing process more smoothly, and the operational cost for users to find available live broadcast materials when publishing content is reduced, thereby improving the user experience when publishing content.

[0050] Figure 3A A schematic diagram of an interaction process 300A for a search control according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3A As shown, page 310 can display a search control 320, which displays prompts related to historical live stream clips, such as "Search for your live stream highlights." Users can click or touch the prompts in the search control 320. Upon detecting this action, the prompt or the corresponding search term can be identified as the search information used for this search, and a search can be initiated accordingly, eliminating the need for the user to manually enter the search terms again.

[0051] After a user interacts with the search control 320, page 310 can switch to the search results page and display live stream clips related to the prompt content. For example, if the prompt content is related to a highlight clip in a live stream, multiple highlight clips corresponding to the user's historical live streams can be displayed. Search results can be displayed in a list, grid, card, or other format, allowing users to view and select live stream clips for subsequent posting. This approach allows users to directly trigger a search using the prompt content displayed in the search control, reducing the steps required for users to type search terms and improving the user experience.

[0052] In some embodiments, when a user meets preset trigger conditions, prompt content related to historical live stream segments can be displayed in the search control 320. For example, the prompt content can be displayed when it is determined that the user has live stream records within a preset time range and a live stream segment associated with the user has been generated in the cloud. In some embodiments, the display frequency can be controlled based on the user's historical interactions with the prompt content. For example, if the prompt content is displayed multiple times within a consecutive preset time period but the user does not perform a click operation, the prompt content can be stopped from being displayed for a subsequent period of time, and a default search prompt or other search guidance content can be displayed instead.

[0053] Figure 3B A schematic diagram of an interaction process 300B for a search control according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3B As shown, page 330 can display a search control 340, which can display prompts related to historical live stream segments. Users can click, touch, or perform other operations on the search control 340 to make it enter an input-enabled state, and the input area and input components for receiving user input will be displayed on page 330.

[0054] Users can enter search terms related to live stream clips in the search control 340, such as text related to live stream highlights, clip themes, or clip types. The computing device can use the user's input as search information and find matching live stream clips based on that information. After completing the input, users can initiate a search by confirming the search, submitting the input, or performing other actions, and the search results related to the user's input will be displayed.

[0055] In some embodiments, the input content can be recognized in real time during user input, and search suggestions or candidate search terms can be provided based on the partially entered content. Users can continue to complete the input or select the corresponding search suggestions as search information. In this way, by allowing users to actively enter search content in the search control, users can find live broadcast clips of specific topics or types according to their own needs, improving the flexibility and accuracy of live broadcast clip searches.

[0056] Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating a change process 400 of information displayed in a search control according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. For example... Figure 4 As shown, after a user enters the content publishing process, the search control 420 can first display general search content related to historical live stream clips, such as "Search for your live stream highlights." This general search content is used to prompt the user that there may be live stream clips in the historical live streams that can be used for publishing, thereby guiding the user to find the relevant content through the search control.

[0057] In some embodiments, live stream segment information from a user's historical live streams can be obtained, and more specific search content can be determined based on the segment type corresponding to the live stream segment. For example, the segment type may include dance highlights, singing highlights, highly praised highlights, popular comment highlights, or other types used to describe the characteristics of the live stream segment content. After determining the segment type, the general search content displayed in the search control can be switched to search content related to that segment type, such as switching "Search your live stream highlight moments" to "View your dance highlight footage".

[0058] Switching between search results can be achieved through scrolling, gradients, sweeping, replacement, or other dynamic display methods. When a specific segment type is not found, or when a suitable segment type for display is not determined, the search control can continue to display general search results. Once the segment type is determined, the search results corresponding to that segment type will then be displayed. By first displaying general search results and then switching to search results containing the segment type, the system not only provides users with historical live stream clips but also offers more specific search directions, making it easier for users to quickly find live stream clips that meet their publishing needs.

[0059] In some embodiments, live streaming information related to a user's historical live streams can be obtained. For example, live streaming information may include generated live stream segments from historical live streams, the number of live stream segments, their generation time, the live stream session they belong to, and other data that can represent the live stream segments. Based on the live streaming information, it can be determined whether the user has any historical live stream segments available for searching and publishing, and general search content related to those historical live stream segments can be generated accordingly.

[0060] When the live stream information includes the segment type, corresponding categorized search content can be generated based on the segment type. For example, if the live stream information indicates that the user has dance-related live stream segments, search content related to dance highlights can be generated; if the live stream information indicates that the user has singing or highly-rated live stream segments, search content related to the corresponding segment type can be generated. In this way, the content displayed in the search control can match the user's actual historical live stream segments, improving the targeting of search guidance.

[0061] Figure 5A A schematic diagram of a process 500A for displaying search results according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 5A As shown, page 510 can display a search control 520 and multiple media content related to the search content. After a user initiates a search for a live stream segment using the search control 520, page 510 can update to the corresponding search results page and display live stream segments that match the search content. Each live stream segment can be displayed independently in a list, grid, card, or other format, allowing users to view and select live stream segments for subsequent publishing.

[0062] In some embodiments, the search results page can display multiple live stream segments simultaneously and provide a selection status for each segment. Users can select one or more live stream segments from the search results. Selected live stream segments can be distinguished by number, checkmark, highlighted border, or other methods. Page 510 can also display thumbnail areas of the selected live stream segments so that users can confirm the currently selected content and proceed to the subsequent publishing process through the corresponding flow controls.

[0063] Figure 5B A schematic diagram of a process 500B for displaying search results according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 5B As shown, page 530 can display a search control 540. After a user initiates a search for a live stream segment using the search control 540, page 530 can display multiple live stream segments matching the search query, and further display a segment combination 550 consisting of these multiple live stream segments. The multiple live stream segments in the segment combination 550 can have the same or related content theme, segment type, live stream session, or other content characteristics. The segment combination 550 can be displayed using collection cards, recommendation areas, combination lists, or other aggregation formats to distinguish it from the ordinary search results displayed one by one on page 530.

[0064] Users can perform viewing, selection, confirmation, or other operations on the segment combination 550. For example, users can view multiple live segments included in the segment combination 550, directly select the segment combination 550, or select a portion of the live segments from the segment combination 550. After the user confirms the use of the segment combination 550, the computing device can generate published content based on the multiple live segments. Generating published content may include splicing multiple live segments in a predetermined order, importing multiple live segments into a content editing page, forming a combined video based on a preset template, or generating content to be published that contains multiple live segments.

[0065] Page 530 can provide "one-click creation" or other operation controls in the display area corresponding to the segment combination 550. After the user executes the operation control, they can directly generate published content based on the segment combination 550, or enter the content editing page to trim, sort, splice, and perform other edits on multiple live segments in the segment combination 550. This reduces the user's need to search for and organize live segments one by one, and improves the efficiency of generating published content using multiple historical live segments.

[0066] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a content publishing process 600 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 6As shown, the content publishing process 600 may involve a material page 610, a selection page 620, an editing page 630, and a publishing page 640. The material page 610, selection page 620, editing page 630, and publishing page 640 may be different pages of the same application in the content publishing process, or they may be provided by different functional modules and displayed sequentially according to the content publishing process.

[0067] The media page 610 can be used to display media content available to users, such as pictures, videos, and other candidate materials from the local photo album. The media page 610 can also display search controls and search suggestions related to historical live stream clips to guide users in finding live stream clips that can be published. Users can click on the search suggestions to initiate a search directly, or they can enter search terms related to the live stream clips in the search controls.

[0068] After a user initiates a search, they can switch from the material page 610 to the selection page 620. The selection page 620 displays live stream clips that match the search query. These clips can be displayed as covers, thumbnails, list items, grid items, or cards. Users can view the live stream clips on the selection page 620 and select one or more clips for later use.

[0069] After selecting a live stream segment, users can access the editing page 630 from the selection page 620. The editing page 630 displays content to be edited based on the selected live stream segment. Users can trim, splice, sort, or otherwise process the live stream segment on the editing page 630. They can also add editing elements such as text, stickers, filters, effects, or audio to the live stream segment to create content to be published.

[0070] After completing the editing, the user can access the publishing page 640 from the editing page 630. The publishing page 640 displays the edited content and related configuration information. Users can preview and confirm the content on the publishing page 640, and set the title, description, visibility, or other publishing information. After confirming the content, the user can submit the content using the publishing controls on the publishing page 640.

[0071] Figure 7 A schematic diagram illustrating a search suggestion information update process 700 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 7 As shown, the search function can be in an initial state 702, a loading state 704, a result state 706, or an abnormal state 708. The corresponding search state configuration 710 can be invoked based on the current state of the search function, and subsequent search processing can be performed according to the search state configuration 710.

[0072] After entering the album page 712, a pre-search 714 can be performed. The pre-search 714 can be performed before the user actually initiates a search, and is used to obtain information related to historical live streams, such as whether available historical live stream segments exist, and the segment type corresponding to the live stream segment. The pre-search 714 can be performed locally by the computing device, or it can be completed through interaction between the computing device and the server.

[0073] During the execution of pre-search 714 or related search processing, the search status 716 can be updated according to the processing stage. For example, before related processing begins, the search function can be in the initial state 702; during related processing, the search function can be in the loading state 704; after obtaining the processing result, the search function can be in the result state 706; and if an exception occurs during related processing, the search function can be in the exception state 708. The search status can be used to reflect the running status of pre-search 714 or related search processing, and the historical live broadcast segment information obtained by pre-search 714 can be used to determine whether to update the search prompt information.

[0074] The search suggestion information 718 can be updated based on the results of the pre-search 714. For example, if no valid historical live broadcast segment information is obtained, the default search suggestion information can be maintained; if historical live broadcast segment information is obtained, general suggestion information related to the historical live broadcast segment can be generated; if the segment type of the live broadcast segment is further obtained, suggestion information related to that segment type can be generated, and the original suggestion information in the search control can be updated to the generated suggestion information.

[0075] The updated search suggestions now allow users to directly jump to page 720 upon clicking. After clicking or touching the search suggestions displayed in the search control, users can initiate a search based on the corresponding search content and be directed to the relevant search page. For example, they can enter the search results page or a search interaction page for further information. If the information obtained from the pre-search (714) can be reused in subsequent searches, this reduces the waiting time after triggering the search suggestions and improves the targeting of historical live stream segment search guidance.

[0076] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a live stream segment search process 800 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 8 As shown, after entering the album page 802, users can obtain live stream clips that match their search information through different processing links. The album page 802 can provide a regular search entry and a smart search entry, or under the same search entry, users can select the appropriate processing link based on search capabilities, user authorization status, or search configuration.

[0077] In some embodiments, after entering the album page 802, the live segment extension module 804 can be loaded, and configuration information related to live segment recognition and search can be obtained by acquiring the latest configuration 806. The configuration information may include a live segment type field 808, query term matching rules, live segment type mapping relationships, or other configurations used to identify live segments. The live segment type field 808 can be used to indicate whether the media material belongs to a live segment, and the segment type corresponding to the live segment.

[0078] The album page 802 can also trigger asynchronous media scanning 810 to identify and classify locally stored media materials. For video media materials, asynchronous media scanning 810 can read the metadata of the video file and identify information such as the live segment identifier, segment type, and segment generation time from the metadata. The identified information can be written into the local media asset database or the corresponding index to complete the local material classification 812. Through the above processing, classification information and retrieval indexes of local media materials can be established before the user actually initiates a search, so as to facilitate the subsequent identification and retrieval of local live segments.

[0079] In some embodiments, downloaded live stream clips may carry identification information representing the clip's attributes, such as a clip identifier and clip type. Downloaded live stream clips can be displayed in the album's recent items or other local media collections, and arranged in a mixed manner with local images, videos, and other media content according to storage time. The album page can display information such as the live stream clip's cover image, duration, and creation date, and allows users to preview, select, and deselect live stream clips. After selecting one or more live stream clips, users can proceed to the content editing process via the next control.

[0080] In the regular search process, after a user initiates a search, a regular search 814 can be performed, and the search information and local media materials can be processed through the Smart Album SDK 816. The Smart Album SDK 816 can perform local rule processing and cloud-based word segmentation 818 on the search information to identify time words, content words, fragment type words, or other search elements in the search information, and determine candidate media materials from local content sources accordingly.

[0081] The query information obtained from local rule processing and cloud-based word segmentation 818 can also be used to match live segment rules 820. Live segment rules can include the mapping relationship between direct search terms and related search terms, as well as general matching terms such as "live" and "highlights." The mapping relationship between direct search terms and related search terms can be distributed by the server for updates based on business needs. Live segment matching rules can also be injected into the intelligent photo album development kit 816 by the business layer and dynamically updated with business configurations.

[0082] For example, when the search information includes "highlights," "live," or a specific segment type, it can be determined that the query information meets the live segment retrieval criteria. After determining that the live segment matching rule has been matched, live segment metadata matching (822) can be performed to match the query information with the live segment identifier, segment type, or other metadata information of the local video material in order to identify the live segment that matches the query information from the local media material.

[0083] In some embodiments, local rule processing and cloud-based word segmentation 818 can also be directly used to obtain matching materials 824. Obtaining matching materials 824 may include retrieving media materials that match the search information from a local content source based on query relevance, media tags, time information, address information, media format, or other search criteria. Live segments obtained through live segment metadata matching 822 and other media materials obtained through obtaining matching materials 824 can be mixed and sorted, and used together to form search results 838.

[0084] In the intelligent search process, intelligent search 826 can be executed, and server-side material collection 828 can be accessed. Server-side material collection 828 may include cloud-based live stream clips associated with the current user, historical live stream materials, or other searchable cloud-based media materials. When a user initiates an intelligent search, provided the cloud search criteria are met, an additional network request can be triggered to retrieve live stream clips from the cloud. Cloud search criteria may include the user having historical live stream records, the existence of live stream clips associated with the user in the cloud, or other preset conditions.

[0085] The computing device can perform a follow-up footage retrieval 830 from the server-side material collection 828, and further perform a live stream clip cloud retrieval 832. The live stream clip cloud retrieval 832 can be initiated by the business layer with corresponding request logic, and the live stream clips returned from the cloud can be added to the search results as additional online material. This additional online material can be aggregated with local search results at the data layer.

[0086] When performing a cloud-based search for a live stream segment (832), a service request can be generated based on the user identifier, search information, live stream session, live stream segment type, segment generation time, or other search criteria. By sending a service request (834), the server can be requested to provide cloud-based media materials that match the current user and search information. After processing the service request, the server can return the corresponding server-side media materials (836).

[0087] Server-side material 836 may include at least the material address, duration, cover image, and generation date of the live stream segment, and may also include the segment type, the live stream session it belongs to, the media format, or other information used for display, playback, and publication. In some embodiments, the material address may correspond to a video file address or a streaming media address, such as a segmented streaming media format. The computing device can determine whether it supports the corresponding media format based on the application's media processing capabilities, and load, preview, or use the corresponding cloud-based live stream segment if supported.

[0088] In some embodiments, cloud search may not provide pagination logic; instead, the server returns the currently valid cloud live stream segment all at once. The currently valid cloud live stream segment can be a live stream segment that meets certain validity criteria, such as time range, content status, copyright status, or other validity conditions. Using a one-time return method reduces subsequent pagination requests and facilitates unified processing of cloud live stream segments and local search results.

[0089] After aggregating server-side material 836 with locally acquired matching material 824, local and cloud-based live stream segments can be uniformly sorted and filtered. During sorting, factors such as the relevance between the live stream segment and the search information, segment generation time, segment type, the live stream session it belongs to, and historical publishing performance can be comprehensively considered. For example, the sorting priority of live stream segments highly relevant to the search information can be increased, and highlight segments of the live stream can be weighted; for multiple live stream segments in the same live stream session, the number of segments displayed can be limited to reduce the homogenization of search results; only live stream segments generated within a preset time range can be recalled, and the display order can be adjusted according to the historical publishing performance of different segment types. For all search results, they can be arranged according to material storage time or generation time, and local and cloud-based materials can be merged according to preset splicing rules.

[0090] Before displaying search results, the validity of live stream segments can be filtered. For example, live stream segments with records of being penalized in the corresponding session, as well as those with music, games, or other copyright risks, can be filtered. Through the above sorting and filtering processes, the matching degree between search results and user search intent can be improved, and invalid, duplicate, or risky live stream segments can be reduced from entering the search results.

[0091] After retrieving server-side material 836, it can be aggregated with locally retrieved matching material 824 to form search results 838. Search results 838 can include only local live stream segments, or it can include both local and cloud-based live stream segments. When both local and cloud-based materials are included, materials from different sources can be mixed, sorted, displayed in sections, or combined based on query relevance, time information, segment type, live stream session, or other sorting factors.

[0092] pass Figure 8 The processing steps shown demonstrate how local material scanning and metadata matching capabilities can be used to identify local live stream segments. In intelligent search scenarios, cloud-based live stream segments can be further retrieved from the server, thereby expanding the search scope for live stream segments. Even if users have not downloaded historical live stream segments locally, relevant live stream segments can still be obtained through cloud retrieval, and both local and cloud-based materials can be displayed together in the search results.
