[0020] In this document, unless explicitly stated otherwise, performing a step in response to A does not mean that the step is performed immediately after A, but may include one or more intermediate steps.

[0021] It is understood that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition, use, storage or deletion of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and related provisions.

[0022] It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, relevant users should be informed of the type, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the information involved in this disclosure through appropriate means in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and authorization should be obtained from the relevant users.

Furthermore, the pop-up window can also include a selection control allowing the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide information to the electronic device.

[0025] It is understood that the above notification and user authorization process are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of this disclosure. Other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of this disclosure.

[0026] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. In environment 100, one or more users 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, ..., 110-N can watch live streams (sometimes referred to as "live sessions") and participate in live interactive events through their respective associated terminal devices 120-1, 120-2, ..., 120-N. For ease of discussion, users 110-1, 110-2, ..., 110-N may be collectively referred to as user 110 or individually, and terminal devices 120-1, 120-2, ..., 120-N may be collectively referred to as terminal device 120 or individually.

[0027] In some embodiments, among all users 110, one or more users, such as user 110-1, can initiate a live stream through an associated terminal device 120-1. In some scenarios, the user 110-1 initiating the live stream may also be referred to as the host of the live stream session, the host user, the live streamer, or the live stream administrator. In some embodiments, all users 110 may also include at least one live stream participant, whose user identifier can be displayed on the live stream interface and can interact with the host during the live stream. The user identifier may include any appropriate information such as user avatar, user name, and user ID. In this document, at least one live stream participant (e.g., a guest) may also be referred to as at least one invited user. In some embodiments, all users 110 may also include viewer users watching the live stream, who can interact with the live stream by commenting, liking, and other similar actions.

[0028] In some embodiments, terminal device 120 may have applications capable of providing live streaming services installed, or may have access to websites capable of providing live streaming services. User 110 may operate terminal device 120 to access the corresponding application or website. Accordingly, terminal device 120 may present a corresponding live streaming interface, which may provide live streaming content, such as audio live streaming content or video live streaming content. The applications installed on terminal device 120 may be any suitable application, such as live streaming applications, shopping applications, content sharing applications (e.g., video applications primarily for video sharing, or other applications for sharing content such as audio, images, etc.). The interface provided by the application may at least include a live streaming interface.

[0029] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 can also communicate with the server 130 via the network 132 to provide live streaming services. The server 130 can provide functions such as application or website management, configuration, and maintenance. In some embodiments, the server 130 can store data generated during the live streaming process, including live interaction data generated during live streaming interactions.

[0030] Terminal device 120 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, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, terminal device 120 may also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0031] 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 background services for applications supporting live streaming in terminal device 120. 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 this disclosure.

[0032] As mentioned earlier, certain interactive behaviors can trigger the presentation of specific visual elements in the live streaming interface. Traditionally, terminal devices can only present visual elements in a two-dimensional format, and they typically present these elements in a fixed manner (e.g., using a fixed path). This can affect the visual experience for users watching and interacting with the live stream.

[0033] In view of this, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, an improved scheme for presenting three-dimensional objects in an interface is provided. According to this scheme, in response to receiving a presentation request for presenting a three-dimensional object in the interface, a three-dimensional rendering layer is added to the interface, the three-dimensional rendering layer corresponding to a three-dimensional space. In the three-dimensional space, three-dimensional visual elements corresponding to two-dimensional visual elements in the interface are generated, the three-dimensional position of the three-dimensional visual elements in the three-dimensional space corresponding to the two-dimensional position of the two-dimensional visual elements in the interface. A three-dimensional object specified by the presentation request is added to the three-dimensional space. The three-dimensional visual elements and the three-dimensional object are projected onto the three-dimensional rendering layer.

[0034] Therefore, a three-dimensional effect can be displayed on a two-dimensional screen, which can enrich the content of the live broadcast interface, enhance the visual effects of the live broadcast interface, and improve the visual experience for users watching and interacting with the live broadcast.

[0035] In this disclosure, "trigger" refers to one or more interactive actions performed by a user on a terminal device. Further, these interactive actions may be triggered within the same user interface / pop-up window or within different user interfaces / pop-up windows. This disclosure is not limited in this respect. In this disclosure, virtual resources, sometimes referred to as incentives, can be represented in the interface using three-dimensional objects, referring to resources or incentives that the broadcaster and at least one invited user can obtain during a live stream. Examples of virtual resources may include, but are not limited to: physical or virtual objects (e.g., gifts, etc.), coupons, points incentives, etc. Virtual resources in a live stream are typically configurable. This disclosure does not limit specific virtual resources. Terminal device 120 can acquire interactive resources of the corresponding type in response to a trigger of an acquisition control. In the context of this disclosure, the process of gifting virtual resources to the broadcaster and / or invited users can be presented with a three-dimensional visual effect.

[0036] The following description continues with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrating some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure. The method for presenting three-dimensional objects in an interface according to this disclosure can be implemented on a terminal device 120. It should be noted that the operations performed by the terminal device 120 may specifically be performed by relevant applications installed on the terminal device 120. Some operations described with reference to the terminal device 120 may require the assistance of the server 130 to complete.

[0037] It should be understood that the interface shown in the accompanying drawings is merely an example, and various interface designs are possible in practice. The various graphic elements in the interface can have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more elements can be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements may also be present. The embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this respect.

[0038] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2An example interface 200 of a live streaming application is shown. Example interface 200 may include areas 210 and 220. Area 210 may include area 212 for presenting information about the live streamer (e.g., user 123). The live streamer's information may include, for example, the live streamer's avatar, name, number of likes, live stream title, etc. When the live stream includes the live streamer and at least one invited user, area 210 may present the user identifiers of the live streamer and at least one invited user (e.g., user A to user H shown in the figure), which may include, for example, the user's avatar and user name. Terminal device 120 may also display, associated with each user identifier, the points earned by the corresponding user in the live stream (e.g., "XXX" in the figure), which may be associated with the number of virtual resources earned, the number of likes, the interaction time, etc.

[0039] It is understood that multiple user identifiers can be presented in area 210 in any appropriate layout, such as a 3x3 grid or a circular layout. The layout can be the default or set by the live stream user. In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 can highlight the user with the highest current score or the user currently speaking in the microphone in area 210. As an example, refer to... Figure 2 If user H has the highest score, or if user H is currently speaking, terminal device 120 can highlight user H's avatar in area 210.

[0040] Area 220 may include an input box 220, through which the terminal device 120 can receive comments on the live stream and display the received comments in area 220. Area 220 may include a control 224, which, in response to a trigger on the control 224, allows the terminal device 120 to gift a certain number of virtual resources to a designated user in the live stream. The designated user can be any user among the target user and at least one invited user. Area 220 may include interactive information associated with the live stream, such as prompts for a specified type of user watching the live stream (e.g., VIP users joining the live stream), comments from viewers (e.g., comments from users 1 to 5 as shown in the figure), prompts for viewers gifting virtual resources to the streamer / invited user (e.g., viewer user A gifted XXX to user A), and likes from viewers (e.g., viewer user B liked the live stream XXX times).

[0041] Terminal device 120 may, for example, determine that it has received a request to display a 3D object in the interface in response to receiving a request to send a gift to a broadcaster user / invited user. Terminal device 120 may, for example, determine that it has received a request to send a gift to a user in response to receiving a selection of a user among the broadcaster user / invited user and receiving a trigger on control 224. It is understood that terminal device 120 may also receive a request to send a gift to a user in any other suitable manner.

[0042] Terminal device 120 can respond to a request to render a 3D object in the interface by adding a 3D rendering layer corresponding to the 3D space to the interface (i.e., the live broadcast interface). Figure 3 Example 300 of an interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Conventionally, the interface includes only a content layer 306 corresponding to two-dimensional controls, and the terminal device 120 can directly present various contents on the content layer 306. Alternatively, the content layer 306 can be directly regarded as the application's interface. In example 300, the terminal device 120 can add a three-dimensional rendering layer 304 to the live streaming interface. The content layer 306 can be overlaid on the three-dimensional rendering layer 304.

[0043] Terminal device 120 can generate three-dimensional visual elements in three-dimensional space that correspond to two-dimensional visual elements in the interface. The three-dimensional position of the three-dimensional visual element in three-dimensional space corresponds to the two-dimensional position of the two-dimensional visual element in the interface. The two-dimensional visual element can be a visual element of a predetermined type in the interface, which may include, for example, the avatar of the host user / invited user in the interface. Alternatively and / or additionally, the two-dimensional visual element may include other controls in the interface represented in two-dimensional format.

[0044] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 may also update multiple three-dimensional visual elements in three-dimensional space, each corresponding to a plurality of two-dimensional visual elements, in response to a change in the number of invited users. For example, if there is one broadcaster and three invited users before the live stream, the terminal device 120 may generate four three-dimensional visual elements in three-dimensional space. If two more invited users are added after the live stream, the terminal device 120 may update the multiple three-dimensional visual elements, resulting in six three-dimensional visual elements.

[0045] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 may also update multiple three-dimensional visual elements in three-dimensional space, each corresponding to a plurality of two-dimensional visual elements, in response to determining that multiple invited users have changed. For example, if the live stream previously included one broadcaster and three invited users (e.g., invited users A to C), the terminal device 120 may generate four three-dimensional visual elements in three-dimensional space corresponding to the broadcaster and the three invited users. If invited user A subsequently leaves the live stream and invited user D joins, the terminal device 120 may update the multiple three-dimensional visual elements, which include the four three-dimensional visual elements corresponding to the one broadcaster and the three invited users (e.g., invited users B to D).

[0046] Therefore, multiple 3D visual elements in the three-dimensional space can be updated in real time, reflecting the latest status of users involved in the live broadcast and improving the visual experience for viewers.

[0047] The terminal device 120 can also add three-dimensional objects specified by a rendering request into the three-dimensional space. The specified three-dimensional object can be a specific three-dimensional object determined by the terminal device 120 in real time from multiple three-dimensional objects based on the rendering request, a default three-dimensional object, or a historical three-dimensional object previously added by the terminal device 120, etc.

[0048] In some embodiments, terminal device 120 may, in response to receiving a presentation request, present multiple markers corresponding to multiple candidate 3D objects in the interface. Terminal device 120 may, in response to receiving a selection for any of the multiple markers, designate the candidate 3D object corresponding to that marker as a 3D object. For example, if each 3D object corresponds to a gift in a live stream, terminal device 120 may, in response to receiving a request to send a gift to the streamer / an invited user, determine that it has received a presentation request to present the 3D object in the interface.

[0049] The terminal device 120 can then present a gift selection interface, displaying multiple tags corresponding to multiple gifts on the selection interface. In response to receiving a selection of a tag, the terminal device 120 can identify the gift corresponding to the selected tag as the three-dimensional object specified in the presentation request. It is understood that since the gift is given to a specific user, the presentation request is associated with that user, and the three-dimensional object is also associated with that user.

[0050] Terminal device 120 can project 3D visual elements and 3D objects onto a 3D rendering layer to present the interface. Terminal device 120 can present visual elements and 3D objects in the interface in any appropriate manner. (Reference) Figure 4 , Figure 4 Example 400 of presenting a three-dimensional object according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Terminal device 120, for example, can... Figure 2 The user avatar in example interface 200 is projected onto a 3D rendering layer to obtain example 402 in example 400. Example 402 shows an example of a 3D rendering layer that includes multiple 3D user avatars.

[0051] In some embodiments, during the rendering of the interface, 3D visual elements and 3D objects can be projected onto a 3D rendering layer to render 2D visual elements and 3D objects in the interface. Alternatively and / or additionally, during the rendering of the interface, 3D visual elements and 3D objects can be projected onto a 3D rendering layer to render 3D visual elements and 3D objects in the interface. In this case, the 3D visual elements are projected onto the 3D rendering layer, and the 3D position of the 3D visual elements in 3D space corresponds to the 2D position of the 2D visual elements in the interface. Specifically, since 3D objects and 3D visual elements in 3D space are represented by 3D coordinates, there may be occlusion in the depth axis (e.g., z-axis) direction. If the 3D object is behind the 3D visual element, then the 2D visual element and 3D object are rendered in the interface. If the 3D object or part of the 3D object is in front of the 3D visual element, then the 3D visual element (partially occluded) and the 3D object are rendered in the interface.

[0052] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 may also hide two-dimensional visual elements in the interface in response to receiving a rendering request. For example, the terminal device 120 may hide the user avatar in the interface. Example 404 shows an example of an interface with the user avatar hidden. As mentioned above, the interface can be overlaid on a three-dimensional rendering layer, that is, Example 404 will be overlaid on Example 402. Thus, by hiding the two-dimensional visual elements of the interface, the repeated rendering of two-dimensional and three-dimensional visual elements can be avoided, thus preventing page element clutter.

[0053] Regarding the specific method of presenting 3D objects, in some embodiments, the terminal device 120 can acquire the motion trajectory of the 3D object and move the 3D object in 3D space according to the motion trajectory. The motion trajectory of the 3D object can be preset by default, that is, the terminal device 120 can dynamically present the 3D object in the interface each time based on the 3D object with the corresponding default motion trajectory. Each 3D object can also have multiple candidate motion trajectories, and the terminal device 120 can determine (either sequentially or randomly) a motion trajectory from the multiple candidate motion trajectories each time, and dynamically present the 3D object in the interface according to the motion trajectory.

[0054] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 can also generate the motion trajectory of a 3D object in real time. The motion trajectory can be any suitable trajectory such as a straight line, curve, or spiral. The motion trajectory can enhance the visual effect of the 3D object. In this case, the terminal device 120 can determine multiple trajectory points (i.e., points used to determine the motion trajectory), and these multiple trajectory points include at least the start and end points of the motion trajectory. The multiple trajectory points can also include other suitable points, such as inflection points, lowest points, and highest points of the motion trajectory. The terminal device 120 can generate the motion trajectory based on these multiple trajectory points.

[0055] As mentioned earlier, the interface may include multiple two-dimensional visual elements, each of which corresponds to a two-dimensional visual element in the interface. Therefore, the three-dimensional rendering layer may include multiple three-dimensional visual elements. For example, in response to receiving a selection request for a target two-dimensional visual element among the multiple two-dimensional visual elements in the interface, the terminal device 120 may determine the target three-dimensional position of the target three-dimensional visual element corresponding to the target two-dimensional visual element in three-dimensional space. For example, the terminal device 120 may determine the trajectory points of a motion trajectory based on the target three-dimensional position. For instance, the terminal device 120 may determine the endpoint of the motion trajectory based on the target three-dimensional position.

[0056] Taking a two-dimensional visual element as a user avatar as an example, the three-dimensional rendering layer can include multiple three-dimensional user avatars. For example, in response to receiving a presentation request, the terminal device 120 can determine that it has received a selection request for the user avatar corresponding to the user receiving the presentation request (i.e., the user who received the gift). The terminal device 120 can identify this user avatar as the target user avatar and can determine the trajectory points of the motion trajectory based on the target three-dimensional user avatar in the three-dimensional rendering layer.

[0057] It is understood that the terminal device 120 may determine the trajectory points using any suitable method. It is also understood that in some embodiments, the terminal device 120 may determine the motion trajectory using other suitable methods. As an example only, the terminal device 120 may determine the motion trajectory based on a predetermined algorithm, formula, or by means of a trained machine learning model. For example, a Bézier curve may be generated based on a predetermined number of trajectory points, thereby generating a smooth motion trajectory.

[0058] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 may also present a media item associated with the 3D object in response to determining that the 3D object has reached the end of its motion trajectory; in other words, the media item may be presented when the 3D object's motion ends. The media item may include any suitable type of content such as audio, video, images, icons, and text. (See reference) Figures 5A to 5C , Figures 5A to 5CExample interfaces 500A to 500C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Example interfaces 500A to 500C can correspond to Figure 2 In the example interface 200, area 510 can correspond to area 210 and area 520 can correspond to area 220. Taking the 3D visual element corresponding to user B as the target 3D visual element (that is, the presentation request is associated with user B) as an example, the terminal device 120 can present a prompt message 522 in area 520. The prompt message can be used to indicate which user the presentation request is associated with, that is, to indicate which user is the user who received the gift.

[0059] Terminal device 120 can, for example, determine trajectory points based on the target 3D position of the 3D visual element corresponding to user B in 3D space. Terminal device 120 can, for example, determine a motion trajectory 512 based on the trajectory points. Terminal device 120 can move the 3D object 511 according to the motion trajectory 512. It should be noted that since the motion trajectory is a motion trajectory in 3D space, the size of the 3D object 511 in the example interface 500A will be affected by the motion trajectory. That is, from the user's perspective, the size of the 3D object 511 seen by the user will change during the movement. The closer the 3D object 511 is to the user, the larger its size will be.

[0060] Terminal device 120 can respond to the 3D object being moved to the end of its trajectory by presenting an example interface 500B. Terminal device 120 can present media items associated with the 3D object 511 in the example interface 500B. For example, the media item can indicate the presentation of element 513 at the location of the 3D visual element corresponding to user B. Thus, presenting the media item can indicate which user in the live stream the presentation request corresponds to, highlighting the gift-giving effect in the live stream. It should be understood that playing media items via animation consumes fewer computing resources compared to presenting complex visual effects with 3D objects. In this way, resource consumption can be reduced while ensuring visual quality.

[0061] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 may also determine the motion trajectory 515 shown in the example interface 500C, which may indicate that the 3D object will move around the target 3D visual element (i.e., the 3D visual element corresponding to user B). Such a motion trajectory may also highlight the target 3D visual element, indicating which user in the live stream the presentation request corresponds to.

[0062] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 may also delete the 3D rendering layer and render 2D visual elements in the interface in response to determining that the 3D object has been moved according to the motion trajectory (i.e., the 3D object has been moved to the endpoint or the media item associated with the 3D object has been presented). The terminal device 120 may directly delete the 3D rendering layer in response to determining that the 3D object has been moved according to the motion trajectory. This can release resources in a timely manner and reduce the resource consumption required to render the 3D rendering layer for a long time.

[0063] Terminal device 120 can also maintain the rendered 3D layer in response to determining that the 3D object has moved according to the motion trajectory, and delete the 3D rendering layer in response to the rendering duration reaching a threshold duration. In this case, if terminal device 120 receives multiple rendering requests within a certain time period, terminal device 120 does not need to repeatedly add the 3D rendering layer; it can add it only once, which can reduce the resource consumption required to add the 3D rendering layer. In the case of the 3D gift described above, a list of 3D gifts can be established, and the 3D rendering layer can be maintained when the list is not empty, and deleted when the list is empty for a certain duration.

[0064] In some embodiments, to enrich the content of the interface, the terminal device 120 may also acquire visual resources associated with the three-dimensional object and present the visual resources in a resource rendering layer in the interface that is different from the three-dimensional rendering layer. This visual resource may include at least one visual resource, and the resource rendering layer may be located above or below the three-dimensional rendering layer.

[0065] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The terminal device 120 can also add a bottom rendering layer 302 and a top rendering layer 308. The bottom rendering layer 302 is the resource rendering layer located below the 3D rendering layer 304, and the top rendering layer 308 is the resource rendering layer located above the 3D rendering layer 304. It can be understood that the visual resources presented in the bottom rendering layer 302 can be considered as the background of 3D visual elements and 3D objects, while the visual resources presented in the top rendering layer 308 can be considered as the foreground of 3D visual elements and 3D objects. For example, mountains can be presented in the background, and clouds in the foreground. Thus, different content can be displayed in multiple layers, improving the stereoscopic visual effect of the interface content and enhancing the visual experience for users watching live streams and interacting with live streams.

[0066] In summary, according to the embodiments of this disclosure, a three-dimensional effect can be displayed on a two-dimensional screen, which can enrich the interface content of the live broadcast interface, enhance the visual effects of the live broadcast interface, and improve the visual effects of users watching and interacting with the live broadcast.
