[0021] The above process of notifying or obtaining user permission is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other methods that meet relevant legal regulations may also be applied to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0022] 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an exemplary environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. In this 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 connected device of the terminal device 110. The application 120 may be a content sharing application that can provide the user 140 with various services related to multimedia content, such as viewing, commenting, reposting, creating (e.g., taking and / or editing), and posting multimedia content.

[0023] 1 , when application 120 is active, terminal device 110 may display a user interface 150 of application 120. User interface 150 may be displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). The graphical user interface may be on a display of terminal device 110 or on an external display communicatively coupled to terminal device 110. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0024] User interface 150 may include various interfaces that application 120 may provide, including, but not limited to, a multimedia content display interface, a content creation interface, a content posting interface, a message interface, a personal interface, and the like. In some embodiments, user 140 may, for example, slide up and down to view multiple pieces of content within the multimedia content display interface. Application 120 may provide content creation functionality for capturing and / or creating multimedia content, such that user 140 can edit captured or uploaded multimedia content. Application 120 may also have a posting functionality that allows user 140 to post created multimedia content. The content displayed in user interface 150 shown in FIG. 1 is illustrative and not limiting. A variety of different content may be displayed in user interface 150.

[0025] In some embodiments, terminal device 110 communicates with a remote device (not shown), such as a server, to enable the provision of services to application 120. Terminal device 110 may be any type of portable, fixed, or mobile terminal, including a mobile phone, desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, netbook computer, tablet computer, media computer, multimedia tablet, personal communication system (PCS) device, personal navigation device, personal digital assistant (PDA), audio / video player, digital camera / camera, positioning device, television receiver, radio broadcast receiver, e-book device, gaming device, or accessories and external devices for these devices, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, terminal device 110 may also support any type of interface for user 140 (e.g., “wearable” circuitry, etc.). Remote devices may be various types of computing systems / servers capable of providing computing capabilities, including, but not limited to, mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, etc.

[0026] The structure and functionality of each element in environment 100 is described for illustrative purposes only and does not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure. There may be any number of terminal devices in environment 100.

[0027] As described above, various content sharing applications are designed to provide users with various services. Some conventional content sharing applications allow users to view multimedia content shared by other users. However, users must click a comment option or a "like" option to view interaction information, such as comments or "likes," related to the multimedia content. In addition, in some conventional content sharing applications, users must meet certain conditions before they can view clear multimedia content shared by other users. Therefore, users typically cannot view interaction information, such as comments or "likes," related to the multimedia content. These conventional content sharing applications fail to provide users with a good interaction experience or a positive perception of interaction.

[0028] Embodiments of the present disclosure support displaying interaction information related to multimedia content in a scene where multimedia content is being viewed. As described below, embodiments of the present disclosure allow switching of multimedia content displayed in a user interface by changing the size of the portion of the user interface where the different multimedia content is displayed. Furthermore, main multimedia content is determined based on the portion of the user interface where the different multimedia content is displayed. Multiple interaction information items related to the main multimedia content are displayed in a dynamic mode. In some embodiments, the multiple interaction information items may include information such as comments and likes on the main multimedia content. These comments, likes, and other information can be displayed in the form of a barrage of bubbles.

[0029] In this way, a user can view interaction information items related to a multimedia content while browsing different multimedia content. Furthermore, these interaction information items may be dynamically displayed, for example, in the form of a barrage of information, which can provide a stronger interaction sensation to the user and improve the user's interaction experience.

[0030] Embodiments of the present disclosure also support clear display of interaction information items related to multimedia content when displaying a fuzzy version of the multimedia content. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, when displaying target multimedia content to a first user, it is determined whether the first user has permission to check the clear version of the target multimedia content. If the first user does not have permission to check the clear version of the target multimedia content, the fuzzy version of the target multimedia content is displayed. When displaying the fuzzy version of the target multimedia content, the interaction information items related to the target multimedia content are displayed in clear mode.

[0031] In this way, a user can view interaction information items related to the multimedia content even if the user does not have the authorization to check the clear version of the multimedia content. Furthermore, these interaction information items may be dynamically displayed, for example, in the form of a barrage of information, which can provide the user with a stronger interaction perception and improve the user's interaction experience.

[0032] Hereinafter, several exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0033] The information display technology according to the present disclosure can be applied to various content sharing applications. Figure 2 illustrates an exemplary user interface of the exemplary application 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, abbreviated as interface 200. The interface 200 may be any interface of the application 120, such as a homepage interface, a friend interface, etc. The interface 200 may display one or more multimedia contents, such as multimedia content 210 and multimedia content 215.

[0034] To start a video shooting activity, a shooting start controller may be provided for the interface 200. As an example, the shooting start controller may be a shooting start controller 220 displayed on the interface 200. For example, when the terminal device 110 detects a predetermined operation (e.g., a click, a touch, etc.) on the shooting start controller 220, the terminal device 110 may activate a shooting mode and start shooting video. The application 120 may provide various editing functions for the shot video content. The shot video may be posted or shared by the user 140 via the application 120. Other users may check the content shared by the user 140.

[0035] In addition to the capture start controller 220, the interface 200 further includes a navigation tab bar for navigating to various interfaces. A "bottom navigation tab bar" located at the bottom of the interface 200 includes navigation tabs 222, 224, 226, and 228. The navigation tag 222 has the text "Home," indicating that it corresponds to the home page of the application 120. The navigation tag 224 has the text "Friends" or "Now," indicating that it corresponds to a content display interface (also referred to as an information display interface) of the application 120. The navigation tag 226 has the text "Inbox," indicating that it corresponds to an inbox interface (also referred to as an interaction-active display interface or a message interface) of the application 120. The navigation tag 228 has the text "Me," indicating that it corresponds to the user's personal interface.

[0036] A "top navigation tab bar" located at the top of interface 200 includes navigation tabs at the next level after navigation tab 224, namely, navigation tabs 225 and 227. Navigation tag 227 has the text "Recommended" to indicate a recommended content interface that can display recommended content from application 120. Navigation tag 225 has the text "Follow" to indicate a following content interface that can display content from followed users. Interface 200 corresponds to the interface for navigation tag "Following" 225 under navigation tag "Friends" 224, and displays followed content, namely, multimedia content 210 and multimedia content 215.

[0037] In some embodiments, interface 200 further includes an add friend controller 221 and a search controller 223. User 140 can send a friend request to another user by clicking or selecting add friend controller 221. User 140 can search for content or users by clicking or selecting search controller 223.

[0038] In some embodiments, when application 120 is launched, interface 200, as shown in FIG. 2, is displayed. Interface 200 allows a predetermined operation to activate the display of an information display interface. Examples of information display interfaces are described with reference to FIGS. 4A-4E and 6A-6E. Examples of predetermined operations for activating the information display interface include, but are not limited to, touching navigation tag 224 or pressing it for a certain period of time. In addition to or instead of the predetermined operation for activating the information display interface, activation of the information display interface may be indicated in other ways. Examples of other methods include, but are not limited to, voice control commands, triggering a hardware key, or a specific gesture (e.g., a slide gesture) in a specific interface. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0039] The above examples describe additional functionality provided by application 120. These functionality is exemplary only and not limiting. Application 120 may offer fewer or richer functionality. These functionality makes application 120 richer and more engaging, enhancing user engagement and experience.

[0040] 2 is merely exemplary. The content display technical solutions described in this disclosure may be applied to a variety of applications. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0041] 2 and the interfaces in the other figures described below are merely exemplary interfaces, and various interface designs may exist in practice. Graphic elements within an interface may have different arrangements and visual representations, one or more elements may be omitted or substituted, and one or more other elements may be present. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0042] 3 illustrates a flowchart of a process for displaying information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Process 300 may be implemented in terminal device 110. For convenience of explanation, process 300 will be described with reference to environment 100 of FIG. 1. Process 300 may include additional operations not shown and / or may omit operations shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0043] In block 310, the terminal device 110 detects a switching operation to switch a first multimedia content currently displayed in a user interface to a second multimedia content. As an example, the switching operation may include a sliding operation of the user's 140 finger along a first direction (e.g., vertically). Note that in addition to or instead of the predetermined interaction operation for switching the displayed content described above, the switching of the displayed content may be indicated in other ways. Examples of other methods include, but are not limited to, a voice control command, a trigger of a hardware key, a specific gesture (e.g., a sliding gesture) in a specific interface, etc. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0044] In some embodiments, the multimedia content may be any suitable multimedia content, including, but not limited to, content such as images, videos, images, image sets, audio, etc. In some embodiments, the multimedia content may be images captured or collected by a user using a device such as a camera. The multimedia content may be composite images obtained by combining multiple images. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the multimedia content may be processed images obtained by editing images or composite images. For example, the multimedia content may be blurred or composite images. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0045] In block 320, the terminal device 110 determines whether a switching operation for switching the first multimedia content to the second multimedia content is detected. If the terminal device 110 does not detect the switching operation in block 320, it can continue to detect the switching operation. For example, if a content switching request is not detected in the information display interface of the application 120, it can maintain the display of the first multimedia content and continue to detect the request periodically or in another manner. If another instruction is detected in the interface, it can perform a corresponding operation according to the other instruction.

[0046] If terminal device 110 determines in block 320 that a switching operation has been detected to switch the first multimedia content to the second multimedia content, terminal device 110 performs the switching in block 330 by reducing a first portion of the first multimedia content displayed on the user interface and increasing a second portion of the second multimedia content displayed on the user interface.

[0047] 4A-4C illustrate examples of switching multimedia content in a user interface according to embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 4A illustrates an exemplary information display interface 400A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The information display interface 400A may be an interface provided by the application 120, such as an interface under the navigation tag 224. The information display interface 400A displays multiple pieces of multimedia content provided by different users, such as multimedia content 410 provided by user A and multimedia content 415 provided by user B. User A and user B may be users followed by the current user 140 of the application 120 within the application 120, or may be users recommended by the application 120 to the current user 140. Any number of pieces of multimedia content may be displayed in the information display interface 400A.

[0048] In some embodiments, information display interface 400A also displays additional information related to multimedia content 410 and multimedia content 415. For example, the avatar and / or username of the user posting multimedia content 410 may be displayed. In some embodiments, time information related to the posting of multimedia content 410 may also be displayed. The time information may be a preparation time for posting multimedia content 410. The time information may be an interval time between the time the multimedia content 410 is posted and the time indicated by a system message presenting the content posting.

[0049] As used herein, multimedia content 410 is referred to as the first multimedia content, and the displayed portion thereof is referred to as the first portion. Multimedia content 415 is referred to as the second multimedia content, and the displayed portion thereof is referred to as the second portion. In some embodiments, multimedia content 410 and multimedia content 415 are displayed in separate display windows of information display interface 400A. Any number of multimedia contents may be displayed in information display interface 400A. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0050] In some embodiments, the set of multimedia content displayed in information display interface 400A may be a set of multimedia content of a predetermined type provided by a set of users of application 120 over a predetermined period of time. One or more of the set of multimedia content are displayed in a predetermined arrangement direction (e.g., vertically). One or more of the set of multimedia content may not be currently displayed. The set of multimedia content may be sorted according to any rule. For example, the multimedia content may be ordered by the time the multimedia content is posted. The set of multimedia content may also be ordered based on attributes of the multimedia content, the affinity between the user posting the multimedia content and the current user, etc. The first multimedia content is implicitly displayed as the main multimedia content.

[0051] In the example of FIG. 4A , the multimedia content 410 and the multimedia content 415 are displayed along a first arrangement direction (also referred to as a first direction). For example, in the example of FIG. 4A , the first arrangement direction is a vertical direction. However, in other embodiments, the first arrangement direction may be another appropriate direction. In an example in which the multimedia content 410 and the multimedia content 415 are displayed along the first arrangement direction, the switching operation may be a slide of the user's finger along the first arrangement direction.

[0052] In the example of Fig. 4A, when the terminal device 110 detects a user's finger sliding upward along a first direction (e.g., vertically), the information display interface 400A switches to the information display interface 400B of Fig. 4B, in which a first portion displayed by the multimedia content 410 is reduced and a second portion displayed by the multimedia content 415 is increased.

[0053] If the information display interface 400B continues to detect the user's finger sliding upward along the vertical direction, the information display interface 400B changes to the information display interface 400C in FIG. 4C . In the information display interface 400C, a first portion displaying the multimedia content 410 decreases, and a second portion displaying the multimedia content 415 increases. If the information display interface 400C continues to detect a switching operation, the display of the multimedia content can continue to switch in accordance with the switching operation. For example, in accordance with the switching operation, the display can switch to more multimedia content below the multimedia content 415 or switch to the multimedia content 410.

[0054] Continuing to refer to FIG. 3, if in block 330 the terminal device 110 determines that the switching operation is no longer detected, in block 340 the terminal device 110 determines a main multimedia content from the multimedia content 410 and the multimedia content 415 based on at least the first portion and the second portion.

[0055] In some embodiments, terminal device 110 determines the main multimedia content based on the size of the first portion and / or the second portion. For example, terminal device 110 may determine, as the main multimedia content, content corresponding to a portion of the first portion and / or the second portion that exceeds a threshold portion size. The threshold portion size may be preset.

[0056] Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, terminal device 110 determines the main multimedia content based on a comparison with the first portion and / or the second portion, for example, the multimedia content corresponding to the larger portion may be determined as the main multimedia content.

[0057] Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the terminal device 110 determines the main multimedia content based on the relative positions in the user interface of the areas for displaying the first multimedia content and / or the second multimedia content. For example, a multimedia content with a display area in the middle of the interface may be determined as the main multimedia content. The above-mentioned methods for determining the main multimedia content may be used in combination. Other suitable methods for determining the main multimedia content may also be employed.

[0058] 4A and 4B, multimedia content 410 is determined as the main multimedia content, while in Fig. 4C, multimedia content 415 is determined as the main multimedia content. If no switching instruction is detected, the first multimedia content in a set of multimedia content is displayed as the main multimedia content.

[0059] 3, in block 350, the terminal device 110 displays the plurality of interaction information items related to the determined main multimedia content in a dynamic mode. If no switching instruction is detected, the plurality of interaction information items related to the determined main multimedia content are automatically played when the information display interface 400A is displayed.

[0060] In some embodiments, an interaction information item may include text content, such as a comment, entered by a user in response to the multimedia content. An interaction information item may also include rating information, such as a "like," entered by a user in response to the multimedia content. An interaction information item may also include other content, such as facial expressions, symbols, or mixed content. An interaction information item may also include information, such as an avatar or username of the user who entered the interaction information. The individual interaction information items listed herein are exemplary and not limiting. An interaction information item may include any suitable content. An interaction information item may use any language, text, facial expressions, symbols, etc. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0061] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 scrolls the interaction information items so that at least one edge of the interaction information items is aligned. For example, the interaction information items may be scrolled left-justified.

[0062] Taking FIG. 4A as an example, the terminal device 110 displays multiple interaction information items 420 in a dynamic mode. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 displays multiple information containers, such as information container 422 and information container 424, each containing multiple interaction information items. The terminal device 110 can perform rolling updates of the contents of the multiple information containers 422 and 424. For example, in the example of FIG. 4B, the contents of information containers 422 and 424 are being updated. In this manner, multiple interaction information items can be displayed in a barrage of bubbles. The shape, size, and number of the information containers may be arbitrary.

[0063] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 displays a first interaction content item at a predetermined location for a predetermined period of time. When the predetermined period of time is reached, the terminal device 110 displays a different second interaction content item at the predetermined location for the predetermined period of time. For example, the terminal device 110 may display in the information container 422 that the first interaction content item has reached the predetermined period of time, and then update the content displayed in the information container 422 to the second interaction content item and display the second interaction content item for the predetermined period of time. The predetermined period of time may be preset or dynamically adjusted.

[0064] In this way, when the interaction information items are scrolled, the display time of each interaction information item can be displayed for a predetermined period of time, so that the user has enough time to check each interaction information item without missing any information due to the interaction information items scrolling too quickly.

[0065] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 prioritizes displaying one or more interaction information items including text content entered by the user among multiple interaction information items. For example, an interaction information item with the content "Like!" may be displayed with priority over an interaction information item with the content "Like!" avatar. In some embodiments, multiple interaction information items may be merged and displayed. For example, in FIG. 4C , multiple interaction information items representing "Like" may be merged and displayed as interaction information item 444.

[0066] In some embodiments, if the number of interaction information items associated with the multimedia content is greater than the threshold data, some of the interaction information items may be selected and dynamically displayed, for example, a predetermined number of different types of interaction information items may be selected and displayed in a scrolling manner.

[0067] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 displays, in a static mode, multiple interaction information items associated with the sub-multimedia content that is not designated as the main multimedia content among the multimedia content 410 and the multimedia content 415. For example, the information display interface 400C displays, in a static mode, multiple interaction information items 420 associated with the multimedia content 410. In this example, the information display interface 400C displays, in a dynamic mode, multiple interaction information items 440 associated with the multimedia content 415.

[0068] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also detect a second operation on the main multimedia content in a second direction different from the first direction. For example, the terminal device 110 can detect a second operation on the multimedia content 410 in FIG. 4A in a horizontal direction. When the second operation is detected, the terminal device 110 displays a third multimedia content posted by the producer who posted the main multimedia content as the main multimedia content in the user interface. For example, the multimedia content 410 can be switched to another multimedia content posted by User A. In this manner, it is possible to switch between different multimedia content posted by different users as well as different multimedia content posted by the same user.

[0069] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 stops displaying the multiple interaction information items of the main multimedia content in the dynamic mode when it receives a switching operation to switch the currently displayed main multimedia content to another multimedia content, for example, when switching from Figure 4A to Figure 4B, it stops displaying the multiple interaction information items 420 in the dynamic mode. In other words, when a finger slide is detected, it stops displaying the multiple interaction information items 420 in the dynamic mode.

[0070] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 continues to display the plurality of interaction information items in a dynamic mode when it receives a predetermined operation on the main multimedia content. For example, the terminal device 110 continues to display the plurality of interaction information items 420 in a dynamic mode when it detects a predetermined operation on the multimedia content 410, such as pausing playback, adjusting playback progress, restarting playback from the beginning, or muting playback. In other words, the dynamic display (e.g., scrolling display) of the plurality of interaction information items is separate from the playback display of the multimedia content 410.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the terminal device 110 receives a predetermined user operation on an interaction information item related to the first multimedia content and / or the second multimedia content, it displays an interface element or page to guide the user to interact with the interaction information item.

[0072] 4D and 4E show examples of interface elements or pages displaying interactions according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example of FIG. 4C, when a predetermined user operation is detected on an interaction information item 442 including text content among the multiple interaction information items 440, a page 450 or interface element for guiding the user to check or add comments is displayed in the information interaction interface 400D of FIG. 4D. For example, the page 450 may be displayed in the form of a pop-up window or may be displayed with different transparency levels above the multimedia content 415.

[0073] In the example of Fig. 4C, when a predetermined user operation is detected on an interaction information item 444 including rating content among the multiple interaction information items 440, a page 460 or interface element for prompting the user to check "Like" or press "Like" is displayed in the information interaction interface 400E of Fig. 4E. For example, the page 460 may be displayed in the form of a pop-up window or may be displayed with different transparency levels above the multimedia content 415.

[0074] Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, information display interfaces 400A-400E also display graphic elements of "likes" for multimedia content, such as graphic elements 434 and 452. Graphic elements 434 and 452 may also display the number of times (not shown) that other users have "liked" the multimedia content. When a predetermined operation (e.g., a click, a touch, a selection, etc.) on graphic elements 434 and 452 is detected, a specific like message for the multimedia content by another user may be displayed in a pop-up window or page 460 may be displayed.

[0075] In some embodiments, information display interfaces 400A-400E may also display graphic elements 436 and 454 for displaying comments on the multimedia content. Graphic elements 436 and 454 may also display the number of times (not shown) that other users have commented on the multimedia content. When a predetermined operation (e.g., click, touch, selection, etc.) on graphic elements 436 and 454 is detected, a specific comment message on the multimedia content of other users may be displayed in a pop-up window or page 450 may be displayed.

[0076] In some embodiments, information display interfaces 400A-400E may also display graphics elements for transferring multimedia content, such as graphics element 432 for transferring multimedia content 410 and graphics element 438 for transferring multimedia content 415. When a predetermined operation (e.g., click, touch, selection, etc.) on graphic element 432 or 438 is detected, a content transfer interface may be switched to or a content transfer window may be popped up on the current interface. User 140 may transfer a link of the corresponding multimedia content to another user in the content transfer interface or the content transfer window.

[0077] Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, information display interfaces 400A-400E may provide more controls or functions. These controls or functions may not be displayed, and the hidden controls or functions may be expanded by, for example, a predetermined operation (e.g., clicking) on ​​any location on information display interfaces 400A-400E. The controls or functions shown here are merely examples, and different numbers and / or functions of controls may be provided in information display interfaces 400A-400E. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0078] When displaying multimedia content, dynamic display of multiple interaction information items related to the multimedia content can provide a user with an interactive sensation. For example, scrolling playback of interactions received by the user in the form of barrage bubbles can enhance the atmosphere and improve the user's interaction experience.

[0079] The information display interfaces 400A-400E in Figures 4A-4E and the interfaces in the other figures described below are merely exemplary interfaces, and various interface designs may exist in practice. Each graphical element within the interface may have a different arrangement and a different visual representation, one or more elements therein may be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements may be present. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0080] In the examples of Figures 4A-4E above, both multimedia content 410 and multimedia content 415 are clear content. However, in some embodiments, the displayed multimedia content may be fuzzy content. Even when these fuzzy multimedia content items are displayed, the interactive content items associated with the multimedia content may be displayed in clear mode. Some examples of clear display of interactive content items when fuzzy multimedia content items are displayed are described below with reference to Figures 5 and 6A-6E.

[0081] 5 illustrates a flowchart of a process 500 for displaying information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Process 500 may be implemented in terminal device 110. For convenience of explanation, process 500 will be described with reference to environment 100 of FIG. 1. Process 500 may include additional operations not shown and / or may omit operations shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0082] In block 510, the terminal device 110 determines whether to display the targeted multimedia content to a first user. The first user may be a current user of the application 120, such as user 140. If the user 140 launches the application to check targeted multimedia content posted by other users, the terminal device 110 determines to display the targeted multimedia content to the user 140. The targeted multimedia content may be content posted by other users of the application 120, such as users followed by the user 140 or users in a social relationship with the user 140.

[0083] If, in block 510, the terminal device 110 determines to display the target multimedia content to the first user, in block 520, it determines whether the first user has permission to check a clear version of the target multimedia content.

[0084] In some embodiments, a set of users of the application 120 post multimedia content in response to a system message by posting multimedia content of a predetermined type within a predetermined period of time. The predetermined period and the predetermined type can be arbitrarily set by the system and / or the user. If a first user posts multimedia content of the predetermined type within the predetermined period of time, the terminal device 110 determines that the first user is authorized to check the cleared version of the target multimedia content. On the other hand, if the first user does not post multimedia content of the predetermined type within the predetermined period of time, the terminal device 110 determines that the first user is not authorized to check the cleared version of the target multimedia content.

[0085] Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the terminal device 110 determines that a first user has permission to check the cleared version of the target multimedia content if there is a social relationship (e.g., a friend relationship or a mutual follow relationship) between the first user and the second user who posts the target multimedia content. Conversely, the terminal device 110 determines that the first user does not have permission to check the cleared version of the target multimedia content.

[0086] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 also determines whether the first user is authorized to check the cleared version of the target multimedia content based on settings applied to the target multimedia content by a second user who posts the target multimedia content. As an example, the settings applied to the target multimedia content by the second user may be a list of users set by the second user who can check the cleared version of the target multimedia content.

[0087] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 also determines whether the first user has permission to check the clear version of the target multimedia content according to the account status of the first user in the social application (e.g., application 120). If the account status of the first user is not normal, for example, blocked, the first user does not have permission to check the clear version of the target multimedia content.

[0088] The above-listed exemplary rules for determining whether a first user is authorized to review a clear version of the target multimedia content are exemplary only and not limiting. The above rules may be used in combination or individually. Other suitable rules may also be employed. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0089] In some embodiments, if the terminal device 110 determines in block 520 that the first user is authorized to check the clear version of the target multimedia content, the terminal device 110 displays the clear target multimedia content. Furthermore, the terminal device 110 displays the interaction information items related to the target multimedia content in a clear mode. For example, the terminal device 110 may display a user interface such as the information display interface 400A, in which the clear multimedia content 410 and the multiple clear interaction information items 420 are displayed. The multiple clear interaction information items 420 may be displayed dynamically. Various display methods for the interaction information items 420 are similar to those in FIGS. 4A-4E, and the description thereof will not be repeated here.

[0090] In such a scenario, when the terminal device 110 detects a predetermined operation on an interaction information item related to the clear version of the target multimedia content, the terminal device 110 displays an interface element or page to guide the user to interact with the interaction information item. For example, the interaction interface or page may be similar to page 450 in FIG. 4D and page 460 in FIG. 4E.

[0091] If the terminal device 110 determines in block 520 that the first user does not have permission to check the clear version of the target multimedia content, the terminal device 110 displays a fuzzy version of the target multimedia content in block 530. To obtain the fuzzy version of the target multimedia content, an appropriate fuzzy process can be applied to the target multimedia content, such as a mosaic process or other appropriate fuzzy process. Furthermore, the terminal device 110 displays the interaction information item associated with the target multimedia content in clear mode in block 540.

[0092] 6A-6E illustrate schematic diagrams of exemplary user interfaces displaying fuzzy multimedia content and clear interaction information items according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 6A illustrates an exemplary information display interface 600A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Information display interface 600A may be an interface provided by application 120, such as an interface under navigation tag 224. Information display interface 600A displays fuzzy versions of multiple multimedia content provided by different users, such as fuzzy version multimedia content 610 and fuzzy version multimedia content 615. As used herein, information display interface 600A may display any number of fuzzy versions of multimedia content.

[0093] In some embodiments, when displaying the fuzzy version of the multimedia content 610, the terminal device 110 also displays an avatar 612 of the second user who posted the target multimedia content 610. The avatar 612 may be a clear avatar of the second user. In some embodiments, the avatar 612 may be a fuzzy avatar of the second user.

[0094] Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the terminal device 110 also displays presentation information, such as presentation information 614, to guide the user in recording and / or posting multimedia content. The contents of the text presentation 614 listed herein are exemplary and not limiting. The text presentation 614 may employ different textual content, different avatars, labels, symbols, language, etc.

[0095] Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, terminal device 110 also displays interface elements for interacting with the target multimedia content. For example, the interaction interface elements may be similar to graphic elements 434 and 436 in FIG. 4A and will not be described in detail here.

[0096] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 displays multiple clear versions of interaction information items related to the multimedia content 610 in a dynamic mode. The interaction information items may include text content, such as comments, entered by a user for the multimedia content. The interaction information items may also include rating information, such as likes, entered by a user for the multimedia content. The interaction information items may also include title information for the multimedia content. The interaction information items may also include other content, such as facial expressions, symbols, or mixed content. The interaction information items may also include information such as the avatar or username of the user who entered the interaction information.

[0097] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 scrolls the interaction information items so that at least one edge of the interaction information items is aligned. For example, the interaction information items may be scrolled left-justified.

[0098] Taking FIG. 6A as an example, the terminal device 110 displays multiple interaction information items 620 in a dynamic mode. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 displays multiple information containers, such as information container 622 and information container 624, each containing multiple interaction information items. The terminal device 110 can scroll and update the content of the multiple information containers 622 and 624. For example, in the information display interface 600B of FIG. 6B, the content of the information containers 622 and 624 is being updated. In this way, multiple interaction information items can be displayed in a barrage of bubbles. The shape, size, and number of the information containers are arbitrary.

[0099] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 displays a first interaction content item at a predetermined location for a predetermined period of time. When the predetermined period expires, the terminal device 110 displays a different second interaction content item at a predetermined location for the predetermined period of time. For example, the terminal device 110 may display in the information container 622 that the first interaction content item has expired for the predetermined period of time, and then update the content displayed in the information container 622 to the second interaction content item, which may be displayed for the predetermined period of time. The predetermined period of time may be preset or dynamically adjusted.

[0100] In this way, when scrolling through the interaction information items, the display time of each interaction information item can be displayed for a predetermined period of time, so that the user has enough time to check each interaction information item without missing any information due to the interaction information items scrolling too quickly.

[0101] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 prioritizes displaying one or more interaction information items including text content entered by a user among multiple interaction information items. For example, interaction information items including "Like" and "Wow!" may be prioritized over an interaction information item including "Like."

[0102] In some embodiments, multiple interaction information items may be merged and displayed. For example, in the information display interface 600C of FIG. 6C, multiple interaction information items representing "likes" are merged and displayed in an information container 624. A predetermined graphical representation representing the interaction information item is displayed in the information container 624. The predetermined graphical representation may be a unique avatar of the user who distributed the corresponding interaction information item. In some embodiments, an indication (not shown) of the number of interaction information items may also be displayed in the information container 624. For example, the information container 624 may display how many users have "liked" the multimedia content 610.

[0103] Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, different types of interaction information items, such as comments or other types of "likes" on multimedia content, including text content, by one or more users, may be merged and displayed. Multiple interaction information items may be merged and displayed in any manner. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0104] In some embodiments, when the terminal device 110 detects a predetermined operation on an interaction information item 620 associated with the fuzzy version of the multimedia content 610, the terminal device 110 displays a user interface to guide the user in recording and / or posting the multimedia content. For example, the information display interface 600D in FIG. 6D may display a pop-up page 640 to guide the user in recording the multimedia content. The pop-up page 640 may at least partially cover the fuzzy version of the multimedia content 610 with different transparencies.

[0105] In some embodiments, a capture controller 640 is displayed in a pop-up page 640. When user 140 clicks or selects capture controller 640, a multimedia content capture mode is activated. In the multimedia content capture mode, information display interface 600D is closed and a capture interface is displayed. Displaying the capture controller in pop-up page 640 on information display interface 600D provides user 140 with a convenient way to enter capture mode. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, pop-up page 640 also displays a text prompt 644 to prompt the user to capture multimedia content.

[0106] By performing a predetermined operation on an interaction information item and displaying a window that guides the user in photographing and posting content, the user can be encouraged to photograph and post content.

[0107] In some embodiments, the process 500 described with reference to FIG. 5 may be performed in combination with or separately from the process 300 described with reference to FIG. 3. For example, multiple fuzzy versions of multimedia content may be switched between displaying by a user switching operation. In the information display interface 600E of FIG. 6E, in response to the switching operation, the display area of ​​the fuzzy version of multimedia content 610 is reduced, while the display area of ​​the fuzzy version of multimedia content 615 is expanded. In this scene, multiple interaction information items 620 are displayed in a static mode. Multiple interaction information items 650 related to the fuzzy version of multimedia content 615 are displayed in a dynamic mode.

[0108] In addition to or as an alternative to the above-listed switching operations or predetermined interaction operations for a predetermined operation on an interaction information item, each of the above-described types of operations can be indicated in other ways, including, but not limited to, voice control commands, triggering hardware keys, specific gestures (e.g., slide gestures) in a particular interface, etc. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0109] Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, information display interfaces 600A-600E may provide more controls or functions. These controls or functions may be hidden, and the hidden controls or functions may be expanded, for example, by performing a predetermined operation (e.g., clicking) on ​​any location on information display interfaces 600A-600E. The controls or functions shown here are merely examples, and different numbers and / or functions of controllers may be provided in information display interfaces 600A-600E. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0110] The information display interfaces 600A-600E in Figures 6A-6E and the interfaces in the other figures described below are merely exemplary interfaces, and various interface designs may exist in practice. Each graphical element in the interface may have a different arrangement and a different visual representation, one or more elements therein may be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements may be present. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0111] When displaying fuzzy multimedia content, multiple interaction information items related to the fuzzy multimedia content can be displayed in a situation mode to provide the user with a sense of interaction. For example, the interactions received by the user can be scrolled in the form of barrage bubbles to enhance the interaction atmosphere and improve the user's interaction experience. In addition, a window can be displayed to guide the user to take or post content by performing a predetermined operation on the interaction information item, thereby encouraging the user to post content.

[0112] 3 to 6E, several examples have been described in which clear or fuzzy multimedia content and related interaction information items provided by other users are displayed to the current user 140 of the application 120. In some embodiments, when the user 140 checks content posted by the user 140, the user 140 can similarly check multiple interaction information items for that content by other users. For example, the contents of other users' comments, likes, etc. can be displayed in the form of a scrolling barrage.
