[0016]

[0023] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. Although the drawings show several embodiments of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be realized in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0017] It should be noted that the section / subsection headings described herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this specification, and any type of embodiment may be included in any section / subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any manner with other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0018] In describing embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "comprises" and similar expressions should be understood as open-ended, i.e., "including, but not limited to." The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on." The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment." The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments." Other explicit and implicit definitions are included below. Terms such as "first," "second," etc., may refer to different targets or the same target. Other explicit and implicit definitions are included below.

[0019] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to user data, data acquisition, and / or use, etc., in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, manipulation, transfer, use, etc. are performed with the user's knowledge and confirmation. Accordingly, when implementing each embodiment of the present disclosure, the user is notified of the type, scope of use, usage scenario, etc. of the data or information in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and permission is obtained. The specific notification and / or permission method may vary depending on actual circumstances and application scenarios, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0020] In the proposals in this specification and examples, for example, when processing personal information, the processing is based on a legal basis (for example, when the consent of the personal information subject is obtained or when it is necessary for the performance of a contract) and is only processed within the scope of regulations or agreements. Even if a user refuses the processing of personal information other than that required for basic functions, it will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0021] As briefly mentioned above, for Internet content, content sharing is one of the most commonly used interactive functions in people's daily lives. Conventionally, when sharing media content, users can achieve the sharing of media content by performing editing and processing operations on the media content. Such operation processes take a certain amount of time for users, and some users may be less willing to share content due to such processes.

[0022] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a content sharing scheme. According to the scheme, a sharing request for targeted media content (e.g., photo content, video content, audio content, or a combination of these contents) may be received. The sharing request may further control posting of targeted shared content related to the targeted media content. The targeted shared content may include media content generated based on the targeted media content independently of a user's editing operations. The targeted shared content may also include a first media content view generated by applying a predetermined style to a second media view of the targeted media content.

[0023] As a result, the embodiments of the present disclosure support users to quickly share target media content without editing, and the shared content screen can be automatically generated based on the shared content screen, which greatly improves the convenience of content sharing for users and increases users' enthusiasm for content sharing.

[0024] Each exemplary embodiment of the scheme is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings. Example Environment

[0025] 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented. As shown in FIG. 1, the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110.

[0026] In the example environment 100, an electronic device 110 runs an application 120 that supports content sharing. The application 120 may be any suitable type of app for content sharing, including, but not limited to, a video application, a social application, or an editing application. A user 140 interacts with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its accessory devices.

[0027] In the environment 100 of FIG. 1, when an application 120 is active, the electronic device 110 presents an interface 150 that supports content sharing by the application 120.

[0028] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Electronic device 110 may be any type of mobile, fixed, or portable device, including a mobile phone, desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, netbook computer, tablet computer, media computer, multimedia tablet, handheld computer, portable gaming console, VR / AR device, Personal Communication System (PCS) device, personal navigation device, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), audio / video player, digital camera / camcorder, pointing device, television receiver, radio receiver, e-book device, gaming device, or any combination thereof, and accessories and peripheral devices for these devices, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may also support any type of user prompting interface (e.g., "wearable" circuitry).

[0029] The server 130 may be an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud The server 130 may be a service cloud server that can provide basic cloud computing services such as services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence. The server 130 may comprise a computing system / server, such as a main block, an edge computing node, or a computing device within a cloud environment. The server 130 may provide background services to the application 120 that supports virtual scenarios within the electronic device 110.

[0030] A communication connection is established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established via wired or wireless means. The communication connection may include a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, etc., although embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may realize signaling interaction through the communication connection therebetween.

[0031] It should be understood that the configuration 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.

[0032] Several exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the drawings. Example Content Sharing

[0033] An example content sharing process according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is described below in conjunction with Figures 2A-2F. Figures 2A-2F illustrate an example interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, which may be provided by, for example, electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1. Specifically, electronic device 110 may present the example interface through, for example, an included application 120.

[0034] 2A, FIG. 2A illustrates a display interface 200A for targeted media content 210. Interface 200A includes a content presentation area for presenting targeted media content 210. As discussed above, this targeted media content may include, for example, photo content, video content, audio content, and / or combinations of these. As can be appreciated, the display interface may be a display interface for media content posted by the user himself or herself, or a display interface for media content posted by other users.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2A, interface 200A may include a share control 215. When share control 215 is triggered (e.g., clicked), electronic device 110 may present a share panel 220 in interface 200B, as shown in Figure 2B.

[0036] In the sharing panel 220, the electronic device 110 provides sharing entries, such as sharing entry 225. The sharing entries may include, for example, target sharing entries 225 that support unedited transfer. This disclosure is not intended to limit the style or functionality of other sharing entries.

[0037] In some embodiments, after receiving a trigger action on the target share entry 225, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200C, such as that shown in Figure 2C. Further, the interface 200C may correspond to, for example, a display interface for the targeted media content 210.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 2C , unlike interface 200A, interface 200C further provides at least one status control 230. In some embodiments, the status control 230 represents, for example, a creation status and / or a posting status of the target shared content. Taking FIG. 2C as an example, the text "Forward" indicates, for example, that a user has triggered the process of creating and forwarding the target shared content. It should be understood that the text "Forward" here does not imply that the corresponding target shared content has been created and / or posted.

[0039] In some embodiments, a trigger operation on the target share entry 225 is performed to trigger a content generation process that generates the targeted shared content, which may be performed locally on the electronic device 110 or on another electronic device (e.g., the server 130).

[0040] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 controls posting of the target shared content based on the operation state of the state control 230 within a predetermined time. As can be understood, posting of the target shared content refers to posting the target shared content as a user's creation, that is, the target shared content is comprehensively viewed by the target user set by the poster when posting as a user's creation.

[0041] In some embodiments, when a first predetermined operation associated with the state control 230 is detected within a predetermined time, the electronic device 110 controls the target shared content to be posted accordingly. The operation associated with the state control 230 may include, for example, performing any appropriate operation received in the current interface when the state control 230 is presented, regardless of the state control 230.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first predetermined operation may include a predetermined operation for stopping the presentation of a status control of the exhibition interface. For example, the first predetermined operation may be a switching operation for media content in a media content stream, and the target media content of the exhibition interface may be included in the target media content stream of the exhibition interface. Alternatively, the first predetermined operation of the exhibition interface may be a jump operation for jumping to the personal homepage of the creator of the target media content. In other embodiments, the current interface may further include a status control off control or a posting confirmation control, and the first predetermined operation may further be a trigger operation for the status control off control or the posting confirmation control of the exhibition interface. When the first predetermined operation of the above-mentioned status control is detected within a predetermined time, the target shared content is posted as a user work.

[0043] For example, when the user swipes up or down during the period when the state control 230 is presented to switch the media content being viewed, the electronic device 110 may correspondingly control the target shared content to be posted. For another example, when the user slides the state control 230 down, for example, to close the control, the electronic device 110 may correspondingly control the target shared content to be posted.

[0044] Additionally or alternatively, if a second predetermined operation associated with the state control 230 is not detected within a predetermined time, the electronic device 110 may control the target shared content to be posted accordingly. In some embodiments, the second predetermined operation associated with the state control 230 includes an operation that cancels the posting process. For example, if the user does not perform any operation within the predetermined time, the electronic device 110 may automatically control the target shared content to be posted accordingly. Alternatively, if the user does not perform a trigger operation for the retract entry 234 described below within the predetermined time, the electronic device 110 may automatically control the target shared content to be posted accordingly. If the second predetermined operation associated with the state control 230 described above is detected within the predetermined time, the target shared content is posted as a user creation.

[0045] 2C, state control 230 may include, for example, retract entry 234. Upon receiving a trigger action on retract entry 234, electronic device 110 may stop posting the targeted shared content.

[0046] In some embodiments, the predetermined amount of time presented by state control 230 may be a predetermined length. Alternatively, or in addition, the predetermined amount of time presented by state control 230 may be determined by the length of time required for the content generation process to generate the targeted media content.

[0047] For example, if a predetermined operation is not received within a predetermined time period indicated by the status control 230, the electronic device 110 may correspondingly stop displaying the status control 230 after the predetermined time period has elapsed, so as to indicate that the corresponding target shared content is being posted or has been posted. As another example, the electronic device 110 may change the display of the status control 230 to indicate an updated generation status and / or posting status of the target shared content, such as indicating that the corresponding target shared content is being generated, being posted, or has been posted.

[0048] 2C shows an example of each state control 230. In some embodiments, the potential device 110 may further provide multiple state controls 230. Illustratively, the edit entry and / or the retract entry are provided independently as additional state controls. Additionally, the additional state controls may be configured, for example, for the same or different predetermined times.

[0049] As an example, the electronic device 110 may provide a first state control associated with the text, a second state control corresponding to a retract entry, and a third state control corresponding to an edit entry, where the first state control, second state control, and third state control may further be associated with the same or different predetermined times, for example.

[0050] For example, if the user does not perform a predetermined operation within the same predetermined period, the presentation of the three state controls may be stopped simultaneously. Alternatively, if the user does not perform a predetermined operation within a first period, the presentation of the second state control and the third state control may be stopped simultaneously. Furthermore, if the user does not perform a predetermined operation within a longer second period, the presentation of the first state control may be further stopped.

[0051] 2D , the electronic device 110 may further present an interface element 240 and / or an interface element 245 indicating the posting progress of the targeted shared content, which may cease to be presented or continue to be presented accordingly, for example, in response to the user switching to another interface (e.g., switching to viewing other media content).

[0052] After the targeted shared content is posted, the current user and / or other suitable users may view the targeted shared content, for example, via an electronic device. Illustratively, the targeted shared content is posted as the current user's personal work and supports other users viewing the work on the current user's personal homepage. Figure 2E illustrates an example display interface 200E for the targeted shared content 250, which may be presented, for example, via electronic device 110 or other suitable electronic device.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 2E , the target shared content 250 may include a first media screen 255 generated by applying a predetermined style to a second media screen 260 of the target media content 210. The predetermined style may correspond to, for example, one or more predetermined screen treatments. The electronic device 110 may then apply the corresponding one or more screen treatments to the second media screen 260 to generate a new first media screen 255, such as by adjusting the size or shape of the second media screen. The first media screen 255 may then present a different screen style from the second media screen 260 to indicate that it corresponds to the shared media content.

[0054] As can be understood, the first media screen is generated by combining the second media screen with predetermined visual elements determined based on the target media content. The predetermined visual elements include at least one of video, photo, and text. Illustratively, the display layout, screen color, or other visual information of the generated first media screen 255 is different from that of the second media screen 260, so that the user can more easily recognize the work as the transferred shared work. Illustratively, the predetermined style includes a picture-in-picture style. That is, the second media screen 260 of the target media content 210 is scaled down and set as a portion of the first media screen 255 rather than the entire first media screen 255. In some embodiments, the predetermined style may further include, for example, other suitable styles. For example, the first media screen 255 is generated by using the second media screen 260 to obtain a background screen of the first media screen 255, using visual elements generated as the background screen using colors associated with the second media screen 260, and overlaying the second media screen 260 and the predetermined visual elements on the background screen.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2E, the predetermined style indicates that, in addition to the second media screen 260, the first media screen 250 further includes at least one visual element 265. The at least one visual element 265 is generated, for example, based on the targeted media content 210. For example, as shown in FIG. 2E, the visual element 265 indicates information about the contributor of the targeted media content 210.

[0056] In other examples, the visual element 265 may further indicate other appropriate information about the targeted media content 210, including, by way of example only, but not limited to, posting time, view information, like information, comment information, favorite information, media content description information, etc. As should be understood, the generation and / or presentation of targeted shared content should be based on the permission of the poster of the targeted media content 210.

[0057] As such, the embodiments of the present disclosure can control the target shared content to be shared accordingly according to the user's sharing request when independent of the user's editing operation. It should be understood that "independent of the user's editing operation" means that the user can quickly generate and post the corresponding target shared content in a predetermined style without entering the editing interface of the target shared content.

[0058] In some embodiments, considering that such rapid sharing is independent of the user's editing operation, the electronic device 110 may further provide, for example, an edit entry for the posted target shared content 250. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may provide a corresponding edit entry in a display interface for the posted target shared content 250. As can be appreciated, the posted shared content includes the posted media content as a user's creation, i.e., the target shared content is viewed collectively by the target user set by the user when posting. For example, the electronic device 110 may provide an edit entry for the posted target shared content 250 in the user's personal homepage.

[0059] Furthermore, upon receiving an edit request for the posted targeted shared content, the electronic device 110 presents an edit interface (also referred to as a second edit interface) for editing the posted targeted shared content. That is, the electronic device 110 can provide a "post first, edit later" sharing logic to support users in quickly sharing and reduce users' sharing costs.

[0060] In some embodiments, this editing interface may include interface 200F shown in Figure 2F. This editing interface may include, for example, supporting a user in changing the display style of second media screen 260, changing at least one visual element 265 generated based on target media content 210, etc.

[0061] 2F , the interface 200F may provide, for example, a set of controls 270. The set of controls 270 may include, for example, a first control for adding a new visual element (e.g., a sticker, text, etc.). Alternatively, the set 270 may further include, for example, a second control for modifying a predetermined style applied to the second media screen 260. Additionally, the set of controls 270 may further include, for example, a third control for obtaining predetermined audio information to be combined with the target media content to generate the target shared content 250.

[0062] Additionally, the interface 200F may further include, for example, a posting control 275. After the user completes the editing operation, the user triggers the posting control 275 to post new shared content generated based on the editing operation, thereby switching the posted target shared content to updated shared content.

[0063] In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can support "post-editing" of shared content by users that has already been posted, thereby ensuring sharing efficiency while also supporting users' free creation.

[0064] 2C , in some examples, state control 230 may further include, for example, edit entry 232. When a trigger operation on edit entry 232 is received, electronic device 110 may present an edit interface (also referred to as a first edit interface).

[0065] The editing interface corresponding to the editing entry 232 is similar to, for example, the interface 200F described with reference to FIG. 2F. Alternatively, the editing interface corresponding to the editing entry 232 may be provided when, for example, the target shared content has not been posted. A user may also perform an editing operation in the editing interface, or directly post the target shared content without performing an editing operation. Correspondingly, the corresponding shared content is posted accordingly based on at least one operation in the editing interface.

[0066] Illustratively, the electronic device 110 receives at least one editing operation on the original shared content through the first editing interface to generate updated shared content. For example, a user performs at least one editing operation on the original shared content through the first editing interface. The original shared content is generated based on, for example, the target media content 210. In one example, the original shared content may have the same style as, for example, the target shared content 250.

[0067] The editing operation may be similar to one or more operations performed using the editing controls described with reference to FIG. 2F, such as adding a new visual element, changing a predefined style, or obtaining new audio content.

[0068] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 receives a posting request for the updated shared content through the first editing interface, and controls the updated shared content to be posted accordingly.

[0069] Based on the above process, embodiments of the present disclosure can provide users with a sharing function for directly sharing target media content without editing it. In addition, in some embodiments, a post-editing function can be provided for triggered and posted media content, making it convenient for users to make further edits. Therefore, embodiments of the present disclosure allow users to more flexibly select a transfer method, shorten the transfer path for users who do not want to edit the target shared content, improve user sharing efficiency, and provide quick editing input for users who want to edit the target shared content, making it convenient for them to edit the target shared content before posting it.

[0070] In some embodiments, in addition to the presentation logic of the target share entry 225 described above with reference to Figures 2A and 2B, embodiments of the present disclosure may support making a share request for targeted media content based on other suitable interaction steps.

[0071] 3A illustrates an example interface 300A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 3A, interface 300A may correspond to, for example, a display interface for targeted media content 210. As illustrated in FIG. 3A, upon receiving a predetermined operation (e.g., a long press) on share control 215, electronic device 110 presents a share entry, for example, target share entry 310. When a user triggers target share entry 310, the user may trigger, for example, internet 200C, as described above with reference to FIG. 2C.

[0072] 3A, the target share entry 310 may be presented in association with the share control 215, for example, in interface 300A. For example, the target share entry 310 may be presented adjacent to the share control 215.

[0073] In some embodiments, the share panel 220 shown in Figure 2B and / or the target share entry 310 shown in Figure 3 may also be presented in response to a user's predetermined interaction with the target media content in the exhibition interface. For example, a user may trigger the presentation of the share panel 220 shown in Figure 2B and / or the target share entry 310 shown in Figure 3B by long pressing on the target media content 210 in interface 200A.

[0074] In some other embodiments, the presentation of the target shared entry may also be based on a user's specific interaction operation with the target media content 210. Specifically, upon receiving a targeted interaction operation related to the target media content, the electronic device 110 may present the target shared entry in the display interface of the target media content.

[0075] In one example, as shown in FIGURE 3B, after a user triggers like control 315 in interface 300B to complete a like operation, electronic device 110 may present target shared entry 325, for example, in interface 300B. When the user triggers target shared entry 325, it may trigger interface 200C, described above with reference to FIGURE 2C, for example.

[0076] 3B, the target share entry 325 includes a share tag that is displayed in the description area 320 of the exhibit interface 300B. The description area 320 displays descriptive information related to the targeted media content 210, such as the contributor information, the content added by the contributor, and the like.

[0077] In another example, as shown in FIGURE 3C, after a user triggers like control 315 in interface 300C to complete a like operation, electronic device 110 may present target shared entry 330, for example, in interface 300B. When a user triggers target shared entry 330, interface 200C, described above with reference to FIGURE 2C, may be triggered, for example.

[0078] 3C, the target share entry 330 includes a share button 330 displayed in a content presentation area of ​​the exhibition interface 300C, in which the target media content 210 is played, i.e., the exhibition interface 300C is a playback page for the target media content. In some embodiments, for example, the share button may display a visual indicator (e.g., an icon) corresponding to the current user to prompt the current user to forward the current target media content as their own forwarded work.

[0079] In some embodiments, the target interaction operation that triggers the target shared entry 325 and / or the target shared entry 330 described with reference to Figures 3B and 3C may include any suitable interaction operation related to the targeted media content 210, such as a like operation, a comment operation, a favorite operation, a follow operation, etc.
