[0016] For example, when responding to receiving an uncommitted request from a user, by sending prompt information to the user, the user is explicitly prompted that the requested operation requires the acquisition and use of the user's personal information. Thereby, based on the prompt information, the user can independently select whether to provide personal information to software or hardware such as an electronic device, an application, a server, or a storage medium that executes the operation of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0017] As an optional but non-limiting implementation form, the method of sending prompt information to the user in response to receiving an uncommitted request from the user may be, for example, a method using a pop-up window, and the prompt information can be displayed in the form of text within the pop-up window. Further, the pop-up window may further include a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0018] It is understood that the above-described notification and user authorization acquisition process are only schematic and do not limit the implementation forms of the present invention, and other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations can also be applied to the implementation forms of the present invention.

[0019] FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary environment 100 in which embodiments of the present invention can be implemented. In the exemplary environment 100, an application 120 is installed on a terminal device 110. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 110 and / or a device connected to the terminal device 110. In some examples, the application 120 may be a social application such as a content sharing application. The application 120 can provide one or more services related to media content items to the user 140, such as creating, publishing, viewing, commenting on, and forwarding media content items. As used herein, a "media content item" includes one or more types of content such as images, image sets, videos, movies, audio, text, and the like.

[0020] In the environment 100 of FIG. 1, when the application 120 is active, the terminal device 110 can present a page 150 of the application 120. The page 150 may include various types of pages that can be provided by the application 120, such as a personal homepage, a detailed page of media content, a content creation page, a content publishing page, a message page, and the like. The application 120 can provide a content creation function such as photographing, uploading, editing, and / or publishing media content items including live broadcast content.

[0021] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 communicates with the server 130 to realize the provision of services for the application 120. The terminal device 110 may 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 / video cameras, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, game devices, or any combination of the foregoing devices, including accessories and peripheral devices of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit). The server 130 may be various types of computing systems / servers that can provide computing functions, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, etc.

[0022] It should be understood that the structure and function of each element within the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation to the scope of the present invention.

[0023] In some applications, users can publish live broadcast content. A publisher (also called a live streamer or live broadcast user) who intends to publish live broadcast content can announce the start time of the live broadcast within the application before the start of the live broadcast of the content. On specific content display pages of the application, such as the publisher's personal homepage or media content display page, interface elements in the form of stickers and the like associated with the live broadcast announcement are presented. Users who view the corresponding page can click on the interface element to reserve the live broadcast.

[0024] In current applications, the interface elements that provide live broadcast reservation information usually have a uniform format and cannot be customized. Therefore, there is a lack of landing or circular representation for some live broadcast content (such as live broadcasts of large-scale events / activities), which is not helpful for the differentiated operation and upgraded experience of live broadcast content. Also, when a user clicks on the interface element that provides live broadcast reservation information to reserve live broadcast content, when the reservation is successful, only a pop-up window indicating the success of the reservation pops up, and there are no other operations on the live broadcast reservation information such as sharing, which is not helpful for the promotion of live broadcast content and the application.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for live broadcast reservation is provided. According to the method of the embodiment of the present invention, reservation information can be presented using interface elements (also referred to as first interface elements) having different visual styles customized by the initiator of the live broadcast, thereby helping to improve the differentiated operation and upgraded experience of the live broadcast. Further, when the user executes a predetermined operation such as a click on the first interface element, it triggers a live broadcast reservation and at the same time can trigger the presentation of a second interface element including second information such as the reserved second information, where the second interface element is shareable via an application. At the same time, the user can further share the second interface element. As a result, it is possible to realize the reservation of a live broadcast triggered by one click and the presentation of shareable information, shorten the user interaction path, enable the user to quickly and conveniently execute the sharing of the live broadcast simultaneously when completing the reservation, and improve the sharing efficiency. In this way, not only can various sharing and promotion capabilities of live broadcast content be improved, but also a more convenient and diverse live broadcast information sharing method can be provided to the user.

[0026] Hereinafter, with continued reference to the drawings, some exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0027] FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a process 200 for content presentation according to some embodiments of the present invention. The process 200 may be implemented in the terminal device 110. For ease of discussion, the process 200 will be described with reference to the environment 100 of FIG. 1.

[0028] In box 210, the terminal device 110 presents a first interface element associated with the reservation of a live broadcast in the application, and the first interface element includes at least first information regarding the live broadcast.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first information included in the first interface element may include basic information about the live broadcast, such as the date and time of the live broadcast. In some embodiments, to present a personalized visual style, personalized customization for the first interface element is supported. The personalized visual style may include, for example, a title or a brief description related to the live broadcast content, such as a sticker or a button having a predetermined size or shape, which will be described in detail later. The first interface element may be presented on any page of the application as long as such a page is configured to present reservation-related information of the live broadcast. Examples of such pages may include content display pages of the application, such as a content recommendation page, a live broadcast information aggregation display page, etc.

[0030] Next, the terminal device 110 detects whether the user has performed a predetermined operation on the first interface element, and in box 220, determines whether a predetermined operation on the first interface element has been received. In response to receiving a predetermined operation on the first interface element, in box 230, the terminal device 110 triggers a reservation for the live broadcast, and in box 240, triggers the presentation of the second interface element. Although boxes 230 and 240 are shown in sequence in FIG. 2, it should be understood that these two operations may be performed in any order. Triggering the reservation for the live broadcast indicates that the current user has reserved this live broadcast. Thus, in some applications, at the start of the live broadcast or a predetermined time before the start, a live broadcast reminder is sent to the user by the means specified by the user. The presented second interface element includes at least second information about the live broadcast, supports sharing via the current application, and can be shared, for example, within the application or outside the application. This is useful for the promotion and usage experience of the live broadcast content and the application.

[0031] Hereinafter, the live broadcast reservation method of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to several examples. As an example, FIG. 3A shows an exemplary content display page 300 of an application. In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the presented is a media content sharing page of a live streamer who plans to conduct a live broadcast at 20:00 on Friday, May 27th, and announces the live broadcast in the application and selects the interface element 310 of the default sticker style (i.e., the aforementioned first interface element). In the exemplary content display page 300 shown in FIG. 3A, the first interface element 310 is presented in the presented media content sharing page. A user who views the media content sharing page can reserve the live broadcast content of the live streamer by clicking on the first interface element 310.

[0032] The first interface element 310 may include first information regarding the live broadcast. The first information may be configured as needed. In some embodiments, the first information may include summary information regarding the live broadcast. In some embodiments, the visual style of the first interface element 310 may be customized by the initiator or live streamer of the live broadcast based on the live broadcast content. For example, if the live broadcast content is a specific large-scale soccer game, the visual style of the first interface element 310 may be customized to include elements associated with the large-scale soccer game, such as a soccer pattern, the team flag of the team involved in the live broadcast content, the team logo, representative colors, or graphics, but is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the announced live broadcast is a specific soccer game, the visual style of the first interface element 310 may be in the form of a sticker having a certain size (hereinafter referred to as the first size), including a soccer pattern and displaying a simple description such as "Live broadcast preview of XX game".

[0033] In some embodiments, the background color or pattern of the first interface element 310 may be customized to display the team flags, team logos, logo colors, etc. of both teams in the live broadcast of the announced soccer game. If the announced live broadcast content is a concert of a specific star, the first interface element 310 can present the live broadcast preview with a photo or comic avatar of the star as the background.

[0034] In some embodiments, the shape of the first interface element 310 may also be customized. For example, assuming that the announced live broadcast content is the release of electronic devices of a specific brand, the first interface element 310 may be customized to have a shape with the outline of the electronic device to be released. By doing so, it can be useful for differentiated operations of the live broadcast and can improve the user experience.

[0035] Of course, it should be understood that the various examples regarding the first interface element 310 described above are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. As long as it can reflect the differentiation for the purpose of useful differentiated operations of the live broadcast, the visual style of the first interface element 310 can be customized in any suitable way. The visual style of the first interface element 310 that can be customized may include, but is not limited to, the presentation position, size, shape, background color, background graphic, text included, etc. of the first interface element 310.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first interface element 310 can be included within the media content. For example, the creator of the media content can choose to embed the first interface element 310 when editing the media content. Thereby, when the media content is presented in the application, the first interface element may be presented simultaneously, facilitating live broadcast reservation. For example, the media content may be presented on the feed recommendation page of the application, and accordingly, the first interface element 310 may be displayed.

[0037] As described above, a user viewing the page where the first interface element 310 is presented can reserve the live broadcast of the live streamer by performing a predetermined operation on the first interface element 310. The predetermined operation triggering the reservation for the live broadcast may include at least one of any suitable trigger operations such as a click on the first interface element 310, a slide on the first interface element 310, or a double click, but is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the predetermined operation triggering the reservation for the live broadcast may be associated with the live broadcast content. For example, in some embodiments, assuming that the live broadcast content is a brand announcement regarding a specific automobile, in addition to being customizable such that the first interface element 310 has elements such as an automobile, the predetermined operation triggering the reservation for the live broadcast is also customizable. For example, the predetermined operation may be set to enable reservation by sliding the vehicle presented on the first interface element 310, thereby further serving for differentiated operations of the live broadcast and improving the user experience.

[0038] As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, in response to a predetermined operation performed on the first interface element 310, a reservation for a live broadcast can be triggered, and at the same time, the second interface element 320 can be triggered. The second interface element 320 may be shared via the current application. In this way, it is possible to realize a one-click live broadcast reservation and sharing of the live broadcast reservation. FIG. 3C shows an example of the second interface element 320. In the example shown in FIG. 3C, the second interface element 320 may be in the form of a ticket having a predetermined size (second size) and includes second information regarding the live broadcast. The second information may be configured as needed. The second information may be the same as or different from the first information. The second information may include at least a part or all of the first information. In some embodiments, the second information may include detailed information regarding the live broadcast. For example, the second information includes information such as the teams involved in the game, the live broadcast start date, and time. In addition to this, in some embodiments, the second information may further include, but is not limited to, information such as a team flag or team logo of the team involved in the live broadcast.

[0039] In some embodiments, similar to the first interface element 310, the visual style of the second interface element 320 can also be customized by the initiator of the live broadcast or the live streamer. The customizable visual style of the second interface element 320 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the position where the second interface element 320 is presented, size, shape, presentation method, background color, background graphic, text included, etc. In some embodiments, similar to the first interface element 310, the visual style of the second interface element 320 can be customized to be associated with the content of the live broadcast. For example, if the live broadcast to be previewed is a specific large-scale soccer game, the identifier of the large-scale soccer game is presented in the second interface element 320, and the background of the second interface element 320 may be the team logo or logo color of the team related to the live broadcast content, etc.

[0040] The presentation method included in the visual style of the second interface element 320 described above refers to the method by which the second interface element 320 is presented on the page. For example, depending on the method of the live broadcast content, the presentation method of the second interface element 320 may include, but is not limited to, sliding from a specific end of the display area, gradually appearing, combining blocks, etc. The customizable visual style of the second interface element 320 can be made more useful for the differentiated operation of the live broadcast and can improve the user experience.

[0041] Of course, in some embodiments, the at least one visual style of the first interface element 310 and / or the second interface element 320 may have no relation to the live broadcast content. For example, in some embodiments, the application provider may provide the first interface element 310 and / or the second interface element 320 with various different pre-set visual styles. The live broadcast starter or live streamer can select and present one or more of these first interface elements 310 and / or second interface elements 320 with various different pre-set visual styles when previewing the live broadcast.

[0042] Figure 3D shows an example in which the second interface element 320 is presented within the application page. In the examples shown in Figures 3B and 3D, the second size of the second interface element 320 may be larger than the first size of the first interface element 310. The first interface element 310 has a small size and can reduce the blockage to the media content being browsed by the user, and the second interface element 320 has a large size and can display more second information and facilitate user sharing. It should be understood that since the first interface element 310 and / or the second interface element 320 are customizable, they may have any appropriate size or shape. For example, in some alternative embodiments, the first interface element 310 can also have a size larger than the second interface element 320.

[0043] In some embodiments, the live broadcast initiator or live streamer can set various first interface elements 310 or second interface elements 320 with different visual styles for the preview of a specific live broadcast. When presenting to the user, the terminal device 110 can randomly select one of the first interface elements 310 or the second interface elements 320 of one of the styles, thereby further helping to upgrade the differentiated operations and experiences of the live broadcast.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second interface element 320 may further include a visualization code that can guide the display of the live broadcast page associated with the live broadcast. The visualization code may include, but is not limited to, barcodes, QR codes (registered trademarks), etc. A barcode is an arrangement of a plurality of black bars and blanks with different widths in a certain coding rule, representing a graphic identifier of a series of information. A QR code (registered trademark), also called a two-dimensional barcode, is a general QR code (registered trademark) that is a QR (Quick Response) code. A QR code (registered trademark) can store more information than a conventional barcode and can also represent more data types. A QR code (registered trademark) is a graphic that records black and white data symbol information distributed in a plane (two-dimensional direction) according to a certain rule using specific geometric graphics. A QR code (registered trademark) cleverly uses the concept of a "0", "1" bit stream that constitutes the internal logic basis of a computer in the compilation of the code, and uses a plurality of geometric shapes corresponding to binary to use text numerical information, and can be automatically recognized by an image input device or a photoelectric scanning device to realize automatic information processing.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second interface element 320 may further include information about the current user of the application, in addition to the second information regarding the live broadcast and the visualization code associated with the live broadcast. The current user is the user who has logged in to the application and is browsing the media content therein. The second interface element 320 presented at the upper left corner of the second interface element 320 in FIG. 3D may include information such as the avatar and username of the current user.

[0046] Of course, it should be understood that the information of the current user presented in the second interface element 320 is not limited to the username and avatar of the user. In some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, the user information presented in the second interface element 320 may further include some information associated with the live broadcast content. For example, if the live broadcast content is a specific large-scale soccer event, the information of the current user may further include information about the team that the user supports during the large-scale soccer event.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second interface element 320 may further include a unique identifier associated with the reservation of the live broadcast. The unique identifier may depend on the order in which the user reserved the live broadcast. For example, the unique identifier may be a serial number or a sequential number when the user executed the live broadcast reservation. For example, the first user who successfully made a reservation may have a serial number "0001", and the second user who executed the live broadcast reservation may have a serial number "0002", and so on. In some alternative embodiments, the unique identifier associated with the reservation of the live broadcast may be a unique random number generated by the system when the user makes a reservation. In the second interface element 320, for example, the unique identifier can be presented at the upper left corner or other appropriate positions. Since the identifier is unique, in particular, for example, when the unique identifier coincides with a numerical sequence for a specific anniversary or other commemorative significance, it can stimulate the user's enthusiasm to share the second interface element 320 with other users, which is helpful for the promotion of the application.

[0048] In some embodiments, the way of sharing the second interface element 320 may include at least one of local storage, transfer within the application, sharing with other users within the application, and sharing with other applications different from the application. In some embodiments, the second interface element 320 may be shared in any suitable multimedia format such as an image format, a video format, or a video format.

[0049] In some embodiments, to facilitate sharing of the second interface element 320, it is also possible to present a possible sharing portal to the user while presenting the second interface element. As shown in FIG. 3D, while presenting the second interface element, a plurality of sharing interface elements can be presented in a predetermined area of the page (hereinafter referred to as the sharing area 330). As shown in FIG. 3E, the sharing area 330 may include a plurality of sharing interface elements such as sharing icons, and the user can present more sharing interface elements on the page by sliding left or right on the sharing area 330 as shown in FIG. 3E. In response to detecting a trigger for sharing, the terminal device 110 performs sharing for the second interface element. For example, the user can share the second interface element 320 by clicking on the sharing interface element.

[0050] For example, in some embodiments, the user can save the presented second interface element 320 in the local album in the form of an image or a video by clicking on the "Save to Album" sharing interface element, thereby facilitating further sharing of the live broadcast content by the user. In some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, the "Save to Album" sharing interface element can also be presented on the second interface element 320. By doing so, the user can save the second interface element 320 to the album by clicking on the "Save to Album" sharing interface element on the second interface element 320.

[0051] In some embodiments, after the user saves the second interface element 320 to the local album, the user can send the second interface element 320 in the form of an image to other users via other applications, or prompt other users to complete the sharing of live broadcast content for a page having the second interface element 320. Thereby, other users can access the page associated with the live broadcast by reading the visualization code in the second interface element 320 using an image input device such as a camera or an optical scanning device.

[0052] As described above, the sharing of the second interface element 320 may further include sharing a private message with friends in the application in addition to saving the second interface element 320 to the local album. For example, the user can share the second interface element 320 with friends in the application by clicking on the "Private Message Friends" icon in FIG. 3E. Specifically, when the user clicks on the "Private Message Friends" icon, as shown in FIG. 3F, the terminal device 110 can present a friend private message interface 340 for privately messaging the second interface element 320 to friends on the page. In the friend private message interface 340, a list of the current user's friends in the application can be displayed. The list can be sorted in a specific order. In some embodiments, the specific order can be determined by the time of the last contact, the number of messages sent to each other, or alphabetical order. For example, according to the number of messages sent to each other, the friend who has sent the most messages can be displayed at the forefront and arranged sequentially based on the number of messages sent, thereby facilitating the sharing by the user to the friend with whom the user contacts most frequently.

[0053] At a predetermined position of the friend private message interface 340, for example, near the username of each friend in the friend list, a "Share" icon can be presented. By clicking the "Share" icon, the user can share the second interface element 320 with the corresponding friend. Of course, in some embodiments, the user can share the second interface element 320 with the friend by directly clicking on the username or avatar of the friend within the friend private message interface 340. Also, in some embodiments, a "Group Share" icon may be displayed in the friend private message interface 340. The user can click the "Group Share" icon to create a group of two or more people, thereby sharing with more users at once. Hereinafter, the idea of the present invention will be mainly described by taking sharing with a specific friend as an example. The same applies to the embodiments of group sharing, and it should be understood that the following will not be repeated one by one.

[0054] When the user clicks on the avatar of a friend or the share button near the friend, the terminal device 110 presents an interface for chatting with the corresponding friend shown in FIG. 3G and transmits the second interface element 320 to the friend in the form of an image or any other suitable multimedia. After receiving the share of the second interface element 320, the friend enters the personal homepage or live broadcast room of the initiator or live streamer of the live broadcast by scanning the visualization tag thereon. In some embodiments, the friend can also enter the personal homepage or live broadcast room of the initiator or live streamer by clicking on the second interface element 320 or operating a specific button therein.

[0055] In some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, the sharing of the second interface element 320 may further include sharing in a form that is transferred within the application. Specifically, when the user clicks on the "transfer" icon of 3E, as shown in FIG. 3H, an interface for transferring the second interface element 320 is presented. In this interface, the user can edit the shared multimedia content including the second interface element 320, such as adding some personalized text, icons, or patterns. As shown in FIG. 3I, after editing, the user can click the corresponding button to publish it as multimedia content so that other users can view it. Other users who view the multimedia content can access a page associated with the live broadcast, such as the personal homepage or live broadcast room of the starter who publishes the live broadcast content, by scanning the visualization tags on it or by any other appropriate means.

[0056] In addition to sharing within the application, the sharing of the second interface element 320 may further include sharing with other applications outside the application.
