Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Although some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to enable a thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. The accompanying drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0012] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terms "including" and similar terms are open-ended "including", that is, they mean "including but not limited to". The term "based on" means "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" means "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments". Hereinafter, other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included.

[0013] As described above, in some live streaming rooms, an audio or video session can be created. Such a live streaming room is also called a chat room. For example, people can enter a live streaming room and participate in an online voice game such as a "murder mystery game" through voice chat, or communicate with other participants in the live streaming room via video call.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a live distribution interface 100 according to a conventional method. As shown in FIG. 1, an electronic device (e.g., a mobile terminal) can display the live distribution interface 100, such as by displaying relevant information of a live streaming room. As shown in FIG. 1, the live distribution interface 100 can display information of participants related to a session (e.g., a voice chat session) established in the live streaming room. Also, a user can apply to participate in the session via the live distribution interface 100.

[0015] However, after the user exits the live streaming room as needed, such a live distribution interface 100 is directly closed. Such an interaction method may be inconvenient for the user. For example, when the user requests a voice chat, due to waiting time issues, the user may wish to jump to another interface first to pick up and read other content. However, when the live distribution interface is terminated, the user's voice chat request may be directly cancelled. Furthermore, when the user browses other interfaces, the user may wish to continue following the information of the people participating in the session of the live streaming room.

[0016] Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a method for live delivery interface interaction. According to this aspect, an electronic device can receive a preset request for a live delivery interface that provides in real time viewing content (e.g., real-time audio stream and / or real-time video stream) related to a target session established in a live streaming room.

[0017] Furthermore, in response to the request, the electronic device can display a target interface corresponding to the preset request and superimpose and display a window related to the live delivery interface on the target interface, and the window displays at least description information related to at least one participant of the target session.

[0018] Based on such a method, embodiments of the present disclosure can enable a user to continue to follow a session established in a live streaming room even while browsing other interfaces by reducing the size of the window. Thereby, the efficiency of the user to obtain information of the live streaming room is improved.

[0019] Hereinafter, various examples of the aspect will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] [Exemplary Live Delivery Interface] First, FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram 200 displaying an exemplary live delivery interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, an electronic device 210 can provide a live delivery interface 220.

[0021] Exemplarily, the electronic device 210 may be, for example, a smart terminal (e.g., a smartphone). Although the electronic device 210 in FIG. 2 is illustrated as a smartphone, it may be any other suitable device, specifically including, but not limited to, tablets, notebook computers, desktops, personal digital assistants, smart wearable devices, in-vehicle devices, and the like.

[0022] Furthermore, the live delivery interface 220 may be provided by, for example, a live streaming application loaded on the electronic device 210, or another application (hereinafter referred to as the live streaming application) that can provide a live streaming service. Such a live streaming application can provide live streaming content to users in a live streaming room, and such users may include casters, participants in the audio or video session of the live streaming room (e.g., users of voice chat), those who request voice chat in the live streaming room, and general viewers of the live streaming room.

[0023] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2, the live delivery interface 220 can include information of at least one participant 240-1, 240-2, 240-3, and 240-4 (individually or collectively referred to as participant 240) in a session established in the live streaming room. Such a participant 240 represents a user of an audio session or a video session already connected to the live streaming room.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2, the live delivery interface 220 can display a text identifier of the participant 240, such as the username, nickname, or virtual character name of the participant 240 (e.g., the name of a character in a murder mystery game). Furthermore, the live delivery interface 220 can also display an image identifier of the participant 240, such as an icon or a selected avatar of the participant 240.

[0025] In addition to this, the live delivery interface 220 can further include, for example, one or more connect controllers 250. Viewers in the live streaming room can apply for a request to participate in the session of the live streaming room by clicking on the connect controller 250.

[0026] In some embodiments, the number of participants in the session of the live streaming room may be limited. For example, taking Figure 2 as an example, up to 9 users can participate in the session simultaneously. Alternatively, the number of participants in the session of the live streaming room may not be limited, for example.

[0027] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, participants in the live streaming room may be assigned corresponding sequence numbers. For example, "User A" may correspond to sequence number "1", and "User B" may correspond to sequence number "2". A participant who clicks on the connect controller 250 corresponding to sequence number "4" to participate in the session will be assigned, for example, sequence number "4".

[0028] In some embodiments, different from a conventional live delivery interface, the electronic device 210 can further provide at least two request controllers 230-1 and 230-2 (individually or collectively referred to as the request controller 230) to the live delivery interface 220.

[0029] For example, a user can generate a request to display the live delivery interface 220 in a window by clicking on the request controller 230-1, and can further display the live streaming room in the window format introduced below.

[0030] Alternatively, the user can also generate a request to log out from the live delivery interface 220 by clicking on the request controller 230-2. After logging out from the live delivery interface 220, the live streaming room can be displayed in the window mode introduced below.

[0031] In some embodiments, when the user requests to log out from the live delivery interface 220, the electronic device 210 can provide a reminder regarding whether to window and display the live delivery interface 220. After receiving the user's confirmation response to the reminder, the electronic device 210 can continue to display the live delivery interface 220 in window form.

[0032] Alternatively, whether to continue to display in window form after logging out the live delivery interface 220 can be determined based on the user's settings. For example, the user can always set in the live streaming application to window and display after logging out the live delivery interface, or the user can also set in the operating system of the electronic device 210 to permit the window display of the live delivery interface.

[0033] In some embodiments, only when the user applies to participate in the session and is not connected to the session, the electronic device 210 will still display in window form even after logging out the live delivery interface automatically or according to the user's settings or the user's confirmation. On the other hand, when the user clicks on the request controller 230-1, regardless of whether the user has applied to participate in the session, the live delivery interface will continue to be displayed in window form after being logged out.

[0034] In some embodiments, the user can also generate a request to jump to the target interface by performing an appropriate operation. For example, the user can trigger a request to return to the previous interface by clicking the "Back" controller. Alternatively, the user can also trigger a jump to the recommendation screen of the live streaming application by sliding the live delivery interface 220.

[0035] As another example, the user can also jump to the desktop interface of the operating system or the interface of another application by means of a system gesture supported by the electronic device 210, for example.

[0036] In some embodiments, the windowed display of the live delivery interface 220 may be supported only within the live streaming application, for example. Alternatively, the windowed display of the live delivery interface may be supported at any appropriate interface of the electronic device 210, specifically including, but not limited to, the desktop of the operating system, the interfaces of other applications, etc.

[0037] Hereinafter, examples of the windowed display of the live delivery interface will be described in detail.

[0038] [Exemplary Windowed Display of Live Delivery Interface] In some embodiments, after receiving a preset request for the live delivery interface 220, the electronic device 210 displays the target interface corresponding to the preset request and superimposes the window related to the live delivery interface on the target interface. Such a window can display, for example, the description information associated with at least one participant in the target session.

[0039] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D, an exemplary windowed display of the live streaming interface 220 will be described.

[0040] [Example 1] FIG. 3A shows a schematic diagram 300A of a window related to a live streaming interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3A, after receiving a preset request for the live streaming interface 220, the electronic device 210 can display a target interface 310 as shown in FIG. 3A.

[0041] In some embodiments, such a target interface 310 may be provided, for example, by a live streaming application, or may be generated by an operating system or other application of the electronic device 210.

[0042] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3A, the electronic device 210 can display a window 320-1 related to the live streaming interface 220 superimposed on the target interface 310. Such a window 320-1 may also be referred to as a floating window or a floating pane.

[0043] In some embodiments, the window 320-1 may have, for example, a fixed size or shape. Alternatively, the size or shape of the window 320-1 can also be dynamically changed, for example, in response to a user operation. Furthermore, the position of the window 320-1 can also be changed in response to a user operation. For example, the user can drag the window 320-1 to any appropriate display position.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3A, window 320-1 can display an image identifier 330 of at least one participant in a target session in a live streaming room. Such an image identifier 330 can include, for example, an icon of at least one participant, or a selected avatar.

[0045] In the example of FIG. 3A, window 320-1 can show, for example, the image identifiers of all four participants 240. In some embodiments, the layout of the image identifiers of multiple participants 240 in window 320-1 can be determined, for example, based on the order in which the multiple participants 240 joined the target session. For example, the icons of the participants who joined the session earlier can be placed at the front of the icons of the participants who joined the session later.

[0046] Alternatively, the layout of the image identifiers of multiple participants 240 in window 320-1 can be determined, for example, based on the sequence numbers assigned to the multiple participants 240 in the target session. For example, as described above, number "1" can be assigned to participant 240-1, number "2" can be assigned to participant 240-2, number "3" can be assigned to participant 240-3, and number "5" can be assigned to participant 240-4. Correspondingly, the layout of the icons of multiple participants 240 in window 320-1 can be arranged, for example, according to the order of the sequence numbers.

[0047] [Example 2] FIG. 3B shows a schematic diagram 300B of a window for displaying a window related to a live delivery interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3B, after receiving a preset request for the live delivery interface 220, the electronic device 210 can display a target interface 310 as shown in FIG. 3B.

[0048] In some embodiments, such a target interface 310 may be provided, for example, by a live streaming application, or may be generated by an operating system or other applications of the electronic device 210.

[0049] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3B, the electronic device 210 can display a window 320-2 related to the live delivery interface 220 superimposed on the target interface 310. Similar to the window 320-1 shown in FIG. 3A, the window 320-2 may have, for example, a fixed size or shape. Alternatively, the size or shape of the window 320-2 can also be dynamically changed, for example, in response to a user's operation. Furthermore, the position of the window 320-2 can also be changed in response to a user's operation. For example, the user can drag the window 320-2 to any appropriate display position.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3B, the window 320-2 can display text identifiers 340 of at least one participant in the target session in the live streaming room. Such text identifiers 340 can include, for example, icons, nicknames, or avatar names of at least one participant.

[0051] In the example of FIG. 3B, the window 320-2 can show, for example, all the text identifiers of four participants 240. Similarly, the layout of such text identifiers can be determined based on the order in which multiple participants 240 joined the target session. Furthermore, the layout can be determined based on the sequence numbers assigned to multiple participants 240 in the target session.

[0052] [Example 3] Figure 3C shows a schematic diagram 300C of displaying a window related to a live distribution interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3C, after receiving a preset request for the live distribution interface 220, the electronic device 210 can display a target interface 310 as shown in Figure 3C.

[0053] In some embodiments, such a target interface 310 may be provided, for example, by a live streaming application, or may be generated by an operating system or other applications of the electronic device 210.

[0054] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3C, the electronic device 210 can superimpose and display a window 320-3 related to the live distribution interface 220 on the target interface 310. Similar to the window 320-1 and the window 320-2, the window 320-3 may have, for example, a fixed size or shape. Alternatively, the size or shape of the window 320-3 can also be dynamically changed, for example, according to the user's operation. Furthermore, the position of the window 320-3 can also be changed according to the user's operation. For example, the user can drag the window 320-3 to any appropriate display position.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3C, in addition to displaying the text identifiers of at least one participant in the target session in the live streaming room, the electronic device 210 can also display dynamic graphics 350 corresponding to the audio stream from the participants in the window 320-3. Such dynamic graphics 350 can include, for example, audio waveforms corresponding to the audio content of each participant 240.

[0056] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 may display only the dynamic graphics 350 corresponding to the participant 240 without the text identifier or image identifier of the participant 240 in the window 320-3. Alternatively, the electronic device 210 may display the dynamic graphics 350 in combination with a text identifier and / or an image identifier in the window 320-3.

[0057] In some embodiments, if a particular participant 240 is not currently outputting audio content, the electronic device 210 may display, for example, a corresponding blank area in the window 320-3. Alternatively, if the microphone of a particular participant 240 is currently off, the electronic device 210 may display, for example, a graphic element corresponding to "microphone is off" in the corresponding area in the window 320-3.

[0058] [Example 4] FIG. 3D shows a schematic diagram 300C displaying a window related to a live delivery interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3D, after receiving a preset request for the live delivery interface 220, the electronic device 210 can display a target interface 310 as shown in FIG. 3D.

[0059] In some embodiments, such a target interface 310 may be provided, for example, by a live streaming application, or may be generated by an operating system or other application of the electronic device 210.

[0060] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3D, the electronic device 210 can display a window 320-4 related to the live distribution interface 220 superimposed on the target interface 310. Similar to the windows 320-1, 320-2, and 320-3, the window 320-4 may have, for example, a fixed size or shape. Alternatively, the size or shape of the window 320-4 can also be dynamically changed, for example, in response to a user operation. Furthermore, the position of the window 320-4 can also be changed in response to a user operation. For example, the user can drag the window 320-4 to any appropriate display position.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3D, the electronic device 210 can also display a video stream 360 from the corresponding participant in the window 320-4.

[0062] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 may display only the video stream 360 corresponding to the participant 240 in the window 320-4 without a text identifier or an image identifier of the participant 240. Alternatively, the electronic device 210 can display the video stream 360 in combination with a text identifier and / or an image identifier in the window 320-4.

[0063] In some embodiments, when a specific participant 240 is not currently outputting video content, the electronic device 210 can, for example, display a corresponding graphic element in the window 320-4. For example, when the camera of a specific participant 240 is currently off, the electronic device 210 can display a graphic element corresponding to "the camera is off" in the corresponding area in the window 320-4.

[0064] Based on the method described above, embodiments of the present disclosure facilitate following the target session in the live streaming room even when the user jumps to another interface, improving the efficiency of the user to obtain content.

[0065] [Exemplary Changes to Windowed Display] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 can dynamically update the content displayed in windows (e.g., windows 320-1, 320-2, 320-3, and 320-4) as described above. For the sake of convenience of description below, taking window 320-1 as an example, the update of the content displayed in the window will be described. Such an update mechanism is similarly applicable to the other windows described above or other specific window examples that satisfy the gist of the present disclosure.

[0066] FIG. 4A shows an exemplary window 400A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4A, when a specific participant 240 is outputting audio, the electronic device 210 can, for example, cause the description information 410 (e.g., image identifier) of the participant 240 to be highlighted in the window 400A.

[0067] Exemplarily, such highlighting can include, for example, highlighting the icon of the participant so that the user can perceive which participant is currently outputting audio. In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 can also dynamically highlight the icon of the participant according to the output rhythm of the audio.

[0068] Figure 4B shows an exemplary window 400B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4B, the window 400B can display, for example, the profile information of a maximum fixed number of participants. When the electronic device 210 determines that the number of participants in the target session in the live streaming room has increased and exceeded a threshold number (e.g., 4), it can display only the profile information of a predetermined number (e.g., 3) of all the participants. Conversely, when the number does not exceed the threshold, the electronic device 210 can display only the profile information of all the participants.

[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4B, the electronic device 210 can also display a reminder element 420 within the window 400B to indicate that the current window 400B is not displaying the profile information for all participants. Alternatively, such a reminder element 420 can also indicate, for example, the number of participants in the live streaming room.

[0070] Figure 4C shows an exemplary window 400C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4C, when the electronic device 210 determines that a particular participant in the target session in the live streaming room has left the target session, it can remove the profile information of that participant from the window 400C and display only the profile information 430 of the participants who are still in the target session.

[0071] Based on such a method, the electronic device 210 can update the window related to the live streaming room in response to changes in the participant information in the target session to indicate the changes in the participant information. Thereby, the user can intuitively know, for example, which participants newly join the target session or which participants leave the target session. Also, the user can know, for example, the enthusiasm of participants to join the target session in the live streaming room.

[0072] FIGS. 4A through 4C described an exemplary window change mechanism in combination with an image identifier, but such a change mechanism is equally applicable to other types of description information described above.

[0073] [Window Control Mechanism] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 can support interactions with the windows described above (e.g., windows 320-1 through 320-4 and windows 400A through 400).

[0074] Exemplarily, the electronic device 210 can display a live streaming interface and log out the window accordingly in response to a preset operation of the window. For example, the user can click, double-click, or slide the window in an appropriate way so that the electronic device 210 jumps to and displays the corresponding live streaming interface 220, and can stop the display of the window.

[0075] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 can also control the priority of audio playback of the window with respect to the displayed target interface. Exemplarily, the electronic device 210 can, for example, always set the playback priority of the audio content in the window to be lower than that of the target interface. In this case, when the target content itself outputs audio content, the electronic device 210 may not need to output the audio content of the live streaming room.

[0076] In yet other embodiments, the electronic device 210 can dynamically control the playback priority of audio content in the window based on the character of the user in the live streaming room. Exemplarily, if the current user is a viewer of the live streaming room or an applicant who has applied to participate in the target session, the electronic device 210 can set the playback priority of the audio content in the window lower than that of the target interface.

[0077] As another example, if the current user is a participant in the live streaming room, the electronic device 210 can set the playback priority of the audio content in the window higher than that of the target interface. Thereby, the electronic device 210 always preferentially plays the audio content of the live streaming room.

[0078] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can control the provision of audio / video content in the window to be more flexible.

[0079] [Provision of Connection Information] In some embodiments, if the current user is an applicant who has applied to participate in the target session of the live streaming room, the electronic device 210 can also use the window to display information regarding the connection application.

[0080] FIG. 5A shows an exemplary window 500A according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5A, the electronic device 210 can also display, for example, application information 510 in the window 500A. Such application information 510 can be used, for example, to show the application status related to the application to participate in the target session, such as showing the number of users (e.g., "5 people") waiting for the current user to participate in the target session in front of the current user.

[0081] As another example, as shown in FIG. 5B, in window 500B, the electronic device 210 can display the application information 520 so as to show the expected waiting time (e.g., "expected to be 3 minutes") for the current user to participate in the target session.

[0082] Furthermore, when it is determined that the user is permitted to participate in the target session in the live streaming room, the electronic device can also display a reminder in the window indicating that the user is permitted to participate in the target session. For example, as shown in FIG. 5C, the electronic device 210 can display a reminder 530 so as to show that the user is permitted to connect to the target session.

[0083] In some embodiments, after a predetermined time period after it is determined that the user is permitted to participate in the target session, the electronic device 210 may jump to the live distribution interface, that is, display the live distribution interface and close the window. In some embodiments, the current user can be automatically added as a participant in the target session in the live streaming room, and the user's audio device and / or video device can be automatically turned on.

[0084] Alternatively, when a reminder indicating that the user is permitted to connect to the target session is currently displayed by the window, the electronic device 210 can jump to the live distribution interface in response to the user's selection operation on the reminder. Correspondingly, the current user can be automatically added as a participant in the target session in the live streaming room, and the user's audio device and / or video device can be automatically turned on.

[0085] As yet another example, as shown in FIG. 5D, the electronic device 210 can display, in window 500D, a reminder 540 that can include countdown information that automatically jumps to the live streaming interface. Further, the countdown information can be dynamically updated over time, and after the countdown ends, the electronic device 210 can jump to the live streaming interface, that is, display the live streaming interface and close the window.
