[0015] 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 choose 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.

[0016] 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 in 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.

[0017] It should be 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 can also be applied to the implementation forms of the present invention.

[0018] FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary environment 100 that can implement an embodiment of the present invention. In the exemplary environment 100, an application 120 is installed on the terminal device 110. The 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 embodiments, the application 120 may be a social application such as a content sharing application. The application 120 can provide the user 140 with one or more services related to media content items, such as creating, publishing, viewing, commenting on, and forwarding media content items. As used herein, "media content" includes one or more types of content, such as images, image sets, videos, movies, audio, text, and the like.

[0019] 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 feed recommendation page, 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 shooting, uploading, editing, and / or publishing media content items including live broadcast content.

[0020] 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.

[0021] 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.

[0022] To make it easier for users to view media content shared by other users, more and more applications, websites, etc. are providing feed recommendation pages. On the feed recommendation page, users can view media content shared by themselves and other users. However, current feed recommendation pages generally can only push media content such as short videos or images publicly released by other users, and there are no interactive interface elements in these media contents, so the promotion of some large-scale sports events, applications, or the websites themselves is restricted.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for user interaction is provided. According to the method of the embodiment of the present invention, on the feed recommendation page, content items of a plurality of interactive interface elements can be presented. Users can interact with a plurality of interactive interface elements on the page, enriching the user's interaction channels and facilitating the promotion of some predetermined events such as large-scale events.

[0024] Hereinafter, with continued reference to the drawings, some exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0025] FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a process 200 for user interaction according to some embodiments of the present invention. The process 200 may be implemented on the terminal device 110. For ease of discussion, the process 200 will be described with reference to the environment 100 of FIG. 1.

[0026] In box 210, the terminal device 110 presents a plurality of interactive interface elements associated with a predetermined event on the feed recommendation page.

[0027] The feed recommendation page refers to the page corresponding to the feed recommendation stream. The feed recommendation stream can be understood as an outlet for media information such as applications and websites to provide personalized and customized content to users. For example, users can switch between different feed recommendation pages of the feed recommendation stream by sliding up and down on the display of the terminal device. Users can enter the feed recommendation page by selecting tags such as "recommendation" or "feed" in the presented user interface.

[0028] The "predetermined event" in this specification can refer to an event participated by one or more relevant parties. These events include, but are not limited to, various competitions such as sports events, game events, talent contests, and various types of online and offline activities. In some embodiments, the predetermined event can refer to an event participated by a plurality of relevant parties (for example, a plurality of participating soccer teams) such as a sports event like a soccer game. Hereinafter, mainly, the sports game event will be used as an example of the predetermined event to explain the idea according to the present invention, and it should be understood that the situations of other predetermined events having a plurality of relevant parties are the same and will not be repeated one by one hereinafter.

[0029] In some embodiments, the predetermined event may include a plurality of minor events. For example, in the case of a predetermined event such as a large-scale soccer event, it may include minor events such as a plurality of group matches and knockout matches. In some embodiments, the predetermined event in this specification can also refer to a minor event including at least two relevant parties among large-scale matches.

[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user views a feed recommendation page such as a short video or an image set published by another user pushed to the feed recommendation stream, the user can receive a content item including a plurality of interaction-enabled interface elements. Different from the non-interactive recommendation content generally presented in the feed recommendation stream, the content item including the interaction-enabled interface elements is intended to provide a way of interacting with the user in order to enhance the user's interest in a specific event by increasing interactive interest and to realize the breadth and depth of recommendations for the specific event.

[0031] In some embodiments, the plurality of interaction-enabled interface elements may be associated with a predetermined event, such as indicating aspects in the predetermined event. In some implementations, the plurality of interaction-enabled interface elements may be associated with a plurality of parties related to the predetermined event. "Associating" can mean various things. In some embodiments, "associating" may mean that the interaction-enabled interface element includes information of a plurality of parties involved in the predetermined event. In some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, "associating" may also mean matters related to the process and results of opposing events among a plurality of parties involved in the predetermined event, such as winning, drawing, losing, the number of goals, and scores. Of course, "associating" may further include any other appropriate situations other than the above two, and it should be understood that these will not be repeated one by one below. For a specific event, it may be sufficient to be accompanied by a plurality of interaction-enabled interface elements for user interaction.

[0032] An interaction-capable interface element can represent an interface element that can be operated by a user, such as by clicking, sliding, hovering, etc., to complete an interaction. The visual style of the interface element may be customized. For example, the visual styles of buttons, sliders, text blocks, etc. may be used. In some embodiments, on the interface element, visual elements associated with multiple parties, such as text, names, and symbolic team logos, team flags, or logo colors corresponding to multiple parties, may be presented. In some embodiments, the interface element may include elements such as wins, draws, losses, goal numbers, scores, etc. of a game between at least two of the multiple parties. Various visual styles of the interaction-capable interface element, including shape, size, background pattern, color, etc., can be customized.

[0033] In some embodiments, a page having the above-described multiple interaction-capable interface elements may be presented only after the user logs in to the application or website. When the user is not logged in and accessing the feed recommendation stream anonymously, the page having the multiple interaction-capable interface elements may not be pushed. When the user logs in, based on the user's browsing habits or preferences, a feed recommendation page having multiple interaction-capable interface elements can be pushed. For example, if it is determined that the user's preference is sports content such as soccer, a feed recommendation page having multiple interaction-capable interface elements associated with a large-scale game event can be pushed to the logged-in user. If it is determined that the user's preference is entertainment content such as a singing contest, a feed recommendation page having multiple interaction-capable interface elements associated with a singing contest or the like can be pushed to these logged-in users.

[0034] After presenting a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements associated with a plurality of stakeholders related to a predetermined event, in box 220, the terminal device 110 detects a current user's selection for at least one of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements.

[0035] In some embodiments, the user's selection for a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements associated with a predetermined event may be set as a single selection so that the user does not change the selection after a single selection. In this way, the terminal device 110 can determine whether it has previously received a selection from the current user for at least one of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements. If the terminal device 110 has previously received a selection from the current user for at least one of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements, when presenting these interaction-capable interface elements this time, the terminal device 110 can detect the current user's selection for at least one of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements. That is, it is determined whether the current user has previously selected at least one of the plurality of interface elements (such a selection can be recorded by the terminal device 110 or the server of the application / website). If the current user has never selected at least one of the plurality of interface elements, the terminal device 110 detects the current user's selection for at least one of the plurality of interface elements. For example, the user can select the corresponding interface element by clicking, swiping a finger, or hovering.

[0036] In some embodiments, the user's selection of a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements associated with a given event may be set as a multiple selection or an unlimited number of selections. Each time the terminal device 110 presents a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements, it may detect the current user's selection for at least one of the plurality of interface elements.

[0037] After the user makes a selection, in box 230, in response to detecting a selection for at least one of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements, the terminal device 110 displays the selected at least one interface element prominently. In some embodiments, the prominent display may include highlighting the at least one interface element selected in an appropriate manner. These appropriate manners may include, but are not limited to, at least one of enlarging, blinking, changing the color, shaking, etc. of at least a part of the at least one interface element. These will be described in more detail later with specific examples.

[0038] In some embodiments, the current user's selection for at least one interface element may be recorded on, for example, a server. In some embodiments, before the server pushes a feed recommendation page having a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements to the terminal device 110, first, it is determined and recorded whether the current user has previously pushed an interaction-capable interface element associated with a predetermined event, and whether the user has selected at least one interface element. If a user logged in to the terminal device 110 has previously viewed and selected at least one interface element among the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements therein and it is further recorded, the server may not push the feed recommendation page to such a terminal device 110. Of course, it should be understood that in some embodiments, the selection being recorded may also be that the terminal device 110 locally records the user's selection and then transmits it to the server at an appropriate time.

[0039] In some alternative embodiments, if the server has previously received the presentation of the plurality of interaction interface elements from the current user and it is recorded that the user has selected an interaction-capable interface element among them, the server can continue to push the corresponding feed recommendation page to the terminal device 110. In such embodiments, in response to having previously received a selection from the current user for at least one interface element among the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements, the at least one selected interface element can be displayed prominently, and the interactivity of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements can be disabled. That is, the interface elements are presented to the user again, but the user's previous selection is directly displayed prominently, and the user cannot select one or more of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements again.

[0040] In some embodiments, when the interactivity of an interactive interface element is disabled and the user attempts to click on the interactive interface element to select it, the terminal device 110 can present a response prompt to the user, indicating that the user has already selected or predicted it and thus can no longer perform a selection or prediction. This will be described in more detail below.

[0041] In some embodiments, when multiple selections or an unlimited number of selections by the user for multiple interactive interface elements are supported, if the current user's selection for at least one interface element among the multiple interactive interface elements is detected and in response to having previously received a selection from the current user for at least one other interface element among the multiple interactive interface elements, the terminal device 110 can provide a reconfirmation request for the selection of the at least one interface element. In some embodiments, the reconfirmation request can also show at least one other interface element previously selected by the current user and request the user to confirm whether to change the selection. If a reconfirmation for the at least one interface element currently selected is detected (i.e., the user confirms to change the selection), the terminal device 110 can display the at least one interface element currently selected prominently. In some embodiments, when the user has previously selected one or more interface elements, first, the interface elements that have been previously selected are displayed prominently, but by not disabling the interactivity of the multiple interactive interface elements, the user can be allowed to select again. By doing so, the user can flexibly confirm or change the selection as needed.

[0042] As an example, FIG. 3A shows an exemplary feed recommendation page 300 of an application. In the exemplary feed recommendation page 300, a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310 associated with a plurality of teams related to a specific large-scale soccer game are presented. If the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310 waiting to be presented cannot be presented on a single display interface, all the interaction-capable interface elements 310 can be presented by moving or fluttering (swinging) these interaction-capable interface elements 310 within the display interface. In the example shown in FIG. 3A, team flags of a plurality of teams are customized on the interaction-capable interface element 310 respectively, thereby facilitating the distinction and selection of the user. The user can select the team (also called the "home team") that the user supports through the exemplary feed recommendation page 300 shown in FIG. 3A.

[0043] It should be understood that the example of the interaction-capable interface element 310 shown in FIG. 3A is only schematic and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. As described above, the interaction-capable interface element 310 can have any suitable form.

[0044] Before the interaction-capable interface element 310 is selected by the user, some of the interaction-capable interface elements 310 can be randomly displayed with changed visual effects. For example, in some embodiments, some of the interaction-capable interface elements 310 can be randomly displayed in a smaller or larger enlarged or reduced state, so that the user can understand that these interaction-capable interface elements 310 are selectable.

[0045] In some embodiments, recording a selection may include recording that the current user is supporting at least one person associated with at least one interface element 310 selected in a given event. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the user selects one of the teams indicated by these interaction-capable interface elements 310 in an appropriate manner, i.e., selects it as the home team, the selected interaction-capable interface element 310 is enlarged and displayed prominently. The fact that the user has already selected the interaction-capable interface element 310, i.e., selected the team associated with the interaction-capable interface element 310 as the home team, is thus displayed prominently. At the same time, a confirmation or send button 320 at an appropriate position on the page is activated so that the user's selection is recorded when the user clicks it.

[0046] Of course, in some alternative embodiments, a button 320 or other interface element for confirmation or submission may also be presented in a pop-up window. In some alternative embodiments, there may be no confirmation or submission button, and if no other selection is made after a predetermined time has elapsed after the user selects the interaction-capable interface element 310 and it is displayed prominently, the user's current selection is automatically recorded.

[0047] After the user's selection is recorded, in some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection for at least one interface element 310 among the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310, the terminal device 110 can play multimedia content associated with the at least one interface element. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3C, 3D, 3E, and 3F, after the user determines a selection for one interface element 310 (e.g., interface element E "Team E"), the terminal device 110 begins to present multimedia content corresponding to the team (e.g., Team E) associated with the selected interface element 310. For example, a dynamic effect of continuously enlarging and finally fluttering the team flag shown in the interface element 310 can be presented. Also, effects such as ribbons and fireworks can be presented at appropriate positions on the interface, accompanied by sound effects of applause and cheers, to further optimize the user experience. It should be understood that the multimedia content here can be configured according to actual applications, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0048] In some embodiments, at an appropriate timing, a portal interface element 330 associated with an event, such as a button or a tag with words such as "play XX game" or "go to XX game" displayed, can be presented. In response to receiving a selection for the portal interface element 330 (e.g., the portal interface element is clicked by the user), the terminal device 110 can present a page associated with the event. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3E and 3F, when the user selects at least one interaction-capable interface element 310 and plays multimedia content corresponding to the team associated with the interaction-capable interface element 310, a button "play XX game" can be presented at an appropriate position (e.g., the lower part) of the page. The user can click the button to select the portal interface element 330 indicated by the button, whereby the terminal device 110 can present a live broadcast page associated with the event, such as an introduction page of the home team. By doing so, the promotion of a predetermined event is facilitated, and it becomes easier for interested users to further understand the predetermined event.

[0049] The foregoing description has explained an example of a feed recommendation page 300 for a user to select a home team (also referred to as "home team game play") with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3F. Such an exemplary feed recommendation page 300 can be pushed to the user throughout an event (e.g., XX game). In addition to this, in some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, the feed recommendation page 300 may further include a "prediction game play" page. For example, as described above, a given event of a specific large-scale soccer game event includes a plurality of small-scale games (e.g., knockout matches or point matches, etc.). For example, a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310 presented on the feed recommendation page 300 of the "prediction game play" may be associated with two parties in a given event of such a small game.

[0050] Specifically, in some embodiments, a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310 presented on the feed recommendation page 300 may include interaction-capable interface elements of at least two opposing parties in an event, where a selection for at least one interface element 310 of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310 detected may include a selection for an interaction-capable interface element 310 associated with a first party among the two parties. In some embodiments, in response to a user's selection, it can be recorded that the current user predicts the first party in the confrontation.

[0051] For example, as shown in FIG. 3G, before a specific game in a large-scale soccer game event, the feed recommendation page 300 may include a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310 associated with two teams (Team A and Team B) in that game, such as "Team A win", "Draw", "Team B win", etc. Thereby, when the user selects these interaction interface elements 310, it may be recorded that the current user predicts which team is advantageous in the confrontation of the game.

[0052] Here, Team A and Team B can be either the team the user has selected to support (i.e., the home team) or another team. When the user selects one of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310 presented to the user, for example, when the user selects "Home Team A win", it is recorded that the current user predicts that Home Team A is advantageous in the game.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 3G, in some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310 can also include some options regarding the total number of goals of the two teams, such as "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "4+". The user can select the total number of goals of the two teams in the game by selecting the corresponding interaction-capable interface element 310, thereby predicting the total number of goals of the two teams in this game.

[0054] When the user selects the corresponding interface element 310, for example, "Home Team A wins", and selects "2" as the total number of goals, as shown in FIG. 3H, the corresponding interface element 310 is prominently displayed and finally recorded (for example, when the user clicks the confirmation button 320, or when no other operation is performed after a predetermined time has elapsed). Before this game, if the user receives the feed recommendation page 300 including these interaction-capable interface elements 310 again, the user's previous selections can be directly and prominently displayed, and the interactivity of these interaction-capable interface elements 310 can be disabled.

[0055] Even if the interactivity of the interaction-capable interface elements 310 is disabled, if the user still operates these interaction-capable interface elements 310, as shown in FIG. 3I, a prompt such as "You have already made a prediction" can be presented to the user to indicate that the user has already made a prediction and there is no need to make a prediction again.

[0056] Of course, in some embodiments, if the user is allowed to make multiple selections, instead of disabling the interactivity of the interaction-capable interface elements 310, the user is allowed to change the selected interface elements again.

[0057] Also, similar to the feed recommendation page 300 of "Home Team Gameplay", in the feed recommendation page 300 of "Prediction Gameplay", portal interface elements 330 associated with events, such as buttons and tags with words like "Enter the game" or "Play XX game" displayed, can be presented, and in response to receiving a selection for the portal interface element 330, the page associated with the event can be presented. By doing so, the promotion of a predetermined event is facilitated, and it becomes easier for interested users to further understand the predetermined event.

[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, by presenting a page having an interaction-capable interface element on a feed recommendation page, it is possible to enrich the user's interaction channels and facilitate the promotion of a predetermined event.

[0059] FIG. 4 shows a schematic configuration block diagram of an apparatus 400 for user interaction according to some embodiments of the present invention. The apparatus 400 can be implemented as a terminal device 110 or can be included in the terminal device 110. Each module / component in the apparatus 400 can be implemented by hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof. Hereinafter, for ease of understanding, it will be described in conjunction with the examples of FIGS. 3A to 3I.

[0060] The apparatus 400 includes a first presenting module 410 configured to present a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310 associated with a predetermined event on a feed recommendation page 300. The apparatus 400 further includes a detection module 420 configured to detect a current user's selection for at least one interface element 310 among the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements 310. The apparatus 400 further includes a prominent display module 430 configured to prominently display the selected at least one interface element in response to detecting a current user's selection for at least one interface element among the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements.

[0061] In some embodiments, the detection module 420 includes a selection-based detection module configured to detect a current user's selection for at least one interface element of a plurality of interaction-capable interface elements in response to having previously received a selection for the at least one interface element of the plurality of interaction-capable interface elements from the current user.
