Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions in this application, the following combines the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are not all of the embodiments of this application, but only some of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative labor belong to the protection scope of this application.

[0014] In some application scenarios, the liver can create and upload its own emoji pictures, enabling users on the live streaming viewing side to use emoji pictures during communication. Currently, when the liver uploads an emoji picture, to facilitate the liver's operations and editing, the entire emoji picture displayed on the upload page is relatively large for the liver to easily check the details. However, the liver side cannot know the display effect and usage effect of the emoji picture on the user side, which affects the adjustment of the emoji picture by the liver side.

[0015] Based on this, the present application provides a method for previewing emoji pictures. When a user triggers an additional operation on the first page, the additional emoji picture is obtained and a preview image is displayed. The preview image is a preview image corresponding to the emoji picture. Through the preview image, the first user can timely know the effect when the added emoji picture is used on the user side. Thereby, the first user can adjust the uploaded emoji picture so that the uploaded emoji picture can be fully used by the users on the user side, improving the user experience.

[0016] Before using the technical solutions of each embodiment of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the types, usage scopes, usage scenarios, etc. of relevant personal information should be notified to the user in an appropriate manner and approval from the user should be obtained.

[0017] For example, when responding to the user's spontaneous request, by sending prompt information to the user, the user is clearly prompted that the operation requested for execution 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, application program, server, or storage medium that executes the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure.

[0018] As a selectable but non-limiting implementation, in response to receiving a user's spontaneous request, the method of sending prompt information to the user may be, for example, in the form of a pop-up window. The prompt information may be shown in the pop-up window in text form. Note that the pop-up window may also include a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" for providing personal information to the electronic device.

[0019] The above process of notifying the user and obtaining approval is only schematic and does not limit the implementation of the present disclosure. Other methods that meet the relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation forms of the present disclosure.

[0020] To facilitate the understanding of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following will be described in conjunction with the drawings.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 1, the figure is a method for previewing emoji pictures according to an embodiment of the present application. The method may be executed by a client for previewing emoji pictures, and the client for previewing emoji pictures may be installed on an electronic device. The electronic device may include devices having a communication function such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, an in-vehicle terminal, a wearable electronic device, a multifunctional printer, a smart home device, etc., or may be a device simulated by a virtual machine or a simulator. As shown in FIG. 1, the method may include steps S101 to S102.

[0022] S101: In response to an additional operation triggered by a first user on a first page, obtain an emoji picture to be added.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the first user attempts to upload an emoji picture, in response to an additional operation triggered by the first user on the first page, an emoji picture to be added is obtained. The first user may be a liver in the live room, the first page may be an emoji upload page in the live room, the emoji picture to be added may be an emoji added by the liver, and viewers in the live room may interact with the live room using the emoji.

[0024] Specifically, the client can detect in real time an additional operation triggered by the first user on the first page, and in response to the additional operation triggered by the first user, can display a picture selection page. The first user can select an emoji picture to be uploaded on the picture selection page. In response to the first user completing the selection operation, the emoji picture selected by the first user is obtained. The first user can add multiple emoji pictures at once. Usually, to facilitate the processing of emoji pictures uploaded by the user, the number of emoji pictures that can be uploaded at once is limited. For example, the maximum number of emoji pictures that can be uploaded at once is 10.

[0025] For example, in the schematic diagram of adding an emoji picture shown in FIG. 2a, the first page 200 includes an add control 201, a submit control 202, and a close control 203. When the first user clicks the add control 201, an album corresponding to the first user is displayed, and thereby the first user can select the required picture from the album.

[0026] When the first user adds an emoji picture to the first page, if the added emoji picture is not square, it is automatically cropped into a square with the picture center as the center anchor point and uploaded. Alternatively, if the size of the uploaded emoji picture does not meet a predetermined size, the added emoji picture can be automatically cropped and compressed.

[0027] S102: Display a preview image, where the preview image is a preview image corresponding to an emoji picture.

[0028] After obtaining the emoji picture added by the first user, display the preview image corresponding to the emoji picture, so that the first user can timely know the actual display effect of the emoji picture to be added. The emoji picture may be an emoji picture associated with the live room of the first user so that it can be used by the first user or by a second user having a predetermined association relationship with the live room corresponding to the first user. For example, the second user may be a follower user or a subscribed user of the live room corresponding to the first user, and the second user may also be a viewer user of the live room corresponding to the first user.

[0029] In this way, when the first user uploads an emoji picture via the first page, obtain the emoji picture to be added in response to the additional operation triggered by the first user on the first page. After obtaining the emoji picture to be added, display a preview area on the first page, where the preview area is used to display the corresponding preview image when the second user side uses or views the emoji picture. That is, when the first user uploads an emoji picture, the display effect when the emoji picture is used or viewed by the second user can be displayed to the first user in real time, so that the first user can adjust the uploaded emoji picture at any time, improving the user experience.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a preview control can be displayed. For example, the preview control is displayed on the first page, and in response to a trigger instruction for the preview control, the preview image is displayed. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the preview image may be directly displayed in response to the completion of addition. The completion of addition may mean that the first user selects the emoji picture to be uploaded on the picture selection page, or the first user selects and submits the emoji picture to be uploaded on the picture selection page, and for example, triggers the submission control on the first page.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a preview area for displaying a preview image is displayed on the first page. The preview area may be located below the area for adding emoji pictures. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, it may jump to the third page and display the preview image on the third page, for example, the preview page.

[0032] When there are many emoji pictures added by the first user, in order to ensure that all the added emoji pictures can be displayed in the preview area, the preview area is adjusted. Specifically, in response to the change in the number of added emoji pictures, the preview area is adjusted, so that the preview images corresponding to the added emoji pictures are displayed in the adjusted preview area, thereby dynamically adjusting the preview area to improve the preview effect. Or, a switching control is displayed in the preview area, and in response to a trigger operation for the switching control, the preview image displayed in the preview area is switched. That is, by adjusting the size of the preview area, all the emoji pictures can be displayed in the preview area, so that the first user can view the preview effect of all the added emoji pictures, thereby enabling the user to easily switch the preview and obtain more interesting emoji pictures.

[0033] The preview image may include a first preview image corresponding to an emoji picture added to a message sent by a second user, and / or a second preview image corresponding to an emoji picture added and displayed on a second page. The second page has an acquisition entry for the usage rights of the emoji picture so that the second user can acquire the usage rights of the added emoji picture. That is, when the second user sends a message containing an emoji picture, the preview area can display a corresponding display effect diagram, or when the second user views the emoji picture on the second page after the first user posts the emoji picture, a corresponding effect diagram can be displayed. Thereby, the first user can know in real time the display effect of the uploaded emoji picture on the second user's side through the preview area, which helps the first user to adjust the emoji picture in a timely manner, so that the uploaded emoji picture can attract more second users to use it.

[0034] For example, as shown in FIG. 2b, the first user adds three emoji pictures to the first page, which are "YES", "NO", and "OX" respectively. The first preview image is a display effect diagram corresponding to when a second user (user a) sends a message containing an emoji picture. The display order of each emoji picture in the first preview image may be the addition order on the first page, or may be other orders, and this embodiment does not limit here. Specifically, the first preview image may also be a preview image corresponding to when the second user posts a message containing an emoji picture on the public screen of the live room. The first preview image can notify the first user of the display effect when the second user uses the emoji picture in the live room.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first preview image includes the label of the second user, the transmitted emoji picture, and the comment box, whereby the first user can intuitively understand the scene when actually applied. At the same time, the size information of the emoji picture displayed in the first preview image is consistent with the size information of the emoji picture displayed on the public screen, thereby displaying a more realistic display effect, such as the display effect shown in FIG. 2b, to the first user and enabling the first user to timely adjust attributes such as the size of the emoji picture.

[0036] The second preview image may be a preview image corresponding to the subscription page of the emoji picture, and the preview image may include related elements on the subscription page, such as a subscription prompt label, a subscription emoji control, etc. Subscription means that the second user obtains the usage right of the emoji picture uploaded by the first user.

[0037] The second page may be a subscription page of the emoji picture. The subscription page includes an acquisition entry for the usage right of the emoji picture. Through the acquisition entry, the second user can obtain the usage right of the emoji picture. Specifically, an acquisition entry is displayed on the subscription page. In response to the trigger operation of the second user on the acquisition entry, a resource transfer page is displayed. The resource may be a virtual resource. The resource transfer page displays resource information corresponding to the usage right of the emoji picture. After the second user completes the resource transfer operation corresponding to the resource information, the second user is provided with the usage right of the emoji picture in response. For example, as shown in FIG. 2c, the emoji pictures corresponding to "YES", "NO", and "cow" uploaded by the first user are displayed on the subscription page.

[0038] When displaying the first preview image in the preview area, the preview rule can be determined based on the number of emoji pictures added by the first user, and further, the first preview image can be determined based on the preview rule. That is, by determining the first preview image according to the number of added emoji pictures, it is easier for the first user to view the preview image.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the number of added emoji pictures is less than the first number, obtain the second number of default emoji pictures, and in the preview area, display the preview image corresponding to the use of the emoji pictures added by the second user and the preview image corresponding to the use of the second number of default emoji pictures by the third user. That is, display the first preview image using two users on the user side, and distinguish and display the added emoji pictures and the default emoji pictures so that the first user can easily view them. The first number and the second number can be set according to the actual application situation. For example, the maximum upload number of the first user is 10. When using two users to display the preview image, 5 emoji pictures are used for each user, and the first number is 5, which indicates the use effect of displaying a maximum of 5 emoji pictures by one user. In order to maintain a good display effect, the second number may also be 5.

[0040] For example, as shown in Figure 2d, both the first number and the second number are 5. When the first user uploads 3 emoji pictures, 5 default emoji pictures are obtained from the default emoji picture library, and the first preview image displays the use effect of user a using 3 emoji pictures and user b using 5 default emoji pictures.

[0041] When the number of added emoji pictures is less than the first number, only the emoji pictures added by the first user may be displayed in the second preview image, or the emoji pictures added by the first user and the second number of default emoji pictures may be displayed.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the number of added emoji pictures is greater than the first number and less than or equal to the third number, the emoji pictures are divided to obtain a first emoji picture set and a second emoji picture set. When the second user uses the first emoji picture set and the third user uses the second emoji picture set, corresponding preview images are displayed in the preview area. The first emoji picture set includes the emoji pictures of the fourth number, and the second emoji picture set includes the emoji pictures other than those in the first emoji picture set among the added emoji pictures. The third number is the maximum upload number, and the fourth number may be equal to the first number. For specific values, it can be determined according to the actual application situation. When dividing the first emoji picture set and the second emoji picture set, according to the addition order, the fourth number of emoji pictures from the front among the added ones can be divided into the first emoji picture set, and the rest can be divided into the second emoji picture set. Of course, it may also be divided according to other division conditions. For example, based on the theme of the emoji pictures, the emoji pictures belonging to the same theme are divided into one set, so that the first user can see the preview effect belonging to the same theme. That is, this embodiment avoids the display effect of confusion in display due to a large number of uploaded emoji pictures by dividing the uploaded emoji pictures, making it easier for the first user to view.

[0043] For example, if the number of emoji pictures uploaded by the first user is 10, and they are divided according to the addition order, with the first 5 from the front divided into the first emoji picture set and the last 5 divided into the second emoji picture set, the first preview image will display the usage effects of user a using the first 5 emoji pictures from the front and user b using the last 5 emoji pictures from the back.

[0044] When the number of added emoji pictures is greater than the first number and less than or equal to the third number, all the added emoji pictures are displayed in the second preview image.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, before the first user triggers an addition operation on the first page, the first preview image includes the corresponding preview image when the second user sends a message including the default emoji picture, and the second preview image is the corresponding preview image when the default emoji picture is on the second page, whereby the first user can easily preview the default emoji.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method further includes obtaining an edited emoji picture in response to the first user triggering an editing operation on the emoji picture, and updating the preview image according to the edited emoji picture. That is, the first user can edit the added emoji picture on the first page. After the editing is completed, the displayed preview image also changes, thereby realizing real-time update and ensuring that the first user can view the latest preview effect.

[0047] Specifically, after the first user selects a certain emoji picture on the first page, an edit icon is displayed on the emoji picture. In response to a trigger operation on the edit icon, the user enters an edit page. On the edit page, the user can rotate the picture, select a position with a frame, and add text to the position selected with the frame, etc.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to a submission request for an added emoji picture, the emoji picture is determined as the emoji picture in the live room of the first user so that the second user can comment and interact using the emoji picture in the live room. That is, by determining the emoji picture as the emoji picture in the live room of the first user, the diversity of interactions is increased and the user experience is improved. For example, after the first user triggers the submission control 202 in FIG. 2b, after the submission of the emoji picture is completed and the submission passes, the second user can comment using the emoji picture added by the first user in the live room of the first user, thereby realizing the exclusivity of the emoji picture.

[0049] For example, in the flowchart of the emoji picture preview shown in FIG. 3, the first user selects an emoji picture to be added from the album and uploads it after the selection is completed. The client can automatically detect whether the size of the uploaded emoji picture meets a predetermined size. If it does not meet the size, the emoji picture is automatically cropped and compressed to obtain an emoji picture that meets the predetermined conditions, and a preview image corresponding to the emoji picture is displayed in the preview area. If it meets the size, the preview image corresponding to the emoji picture is directly displayed in the preview area. When the user triggers the editing of the emoji picture, the single-picture editing mode is entered, and the first user can edit a single emoji picture in this mode. After the editing is completed, the preview image in the preview area is updated according to the edited emoji picture.

[0050] Based on the above method embodiments, the embodiments of the present application provide an emoji picture preview device and equipment, which will be described below in conjunction with the drawings.
