[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the accompanying 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 described herein, but rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are merely intended to serve as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0012] In describing embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "comprises" and similar terms should be understood as an open inclusion, 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 "this 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 may be included below.

[0013] It is understood that the data related to this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of corresponding laws and regulations and related provisions.

[0014] It should be understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in each embodiment of this disclosure, the type, scope of use, and usage scenarios of user information related to this disclosure should be notified to users by appropriate means in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and user consent should be obtained.

[0015] For example, in response to receiving an unsolicited request from a user, a prompt message may be sent to the user that explicitly reminds the user that the requested action requires access to and use of the user's user information, allowing the user to autonomously choose, based on the prompt message, whether to provide the user information to software or hardware, such as an electronic device, application, server, or storage medium, that performs the operations of the technical proposal of the present disclosure.

[0016] As an optional, non-limiting implementation, the manner of sending a prompt message to the user in response to receiving an unsolicited request from the user may be, for example, by a pop-up window, in which the prompt message may be presented in text, and the pop-up window may further include a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to providing user information to the electronic device.

[0017] It should be understood that the above process of notification and obtaining user consent is merely exemplary and does not limit the implementation of the present disclosure, and other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of the present disclosure.

[0018] As briefly mentioned above, there are now an increasing number of applications designed to provide users with a variety of services, such as allowing users to post, browse, and listen to a variety of content within the application, including multimedia content such as videos, pictures, picture collections, and audio.

[0019] When presenting different works to a user, some implementations allow at least one target work to be presented on a specific tab page. Although such implementations realize classification of works in a sense, they have at least the following drawbacks: In most cases, tab pages are managed by the application system. In such cases, users cannot add works to specific tab pages according to their personal preferences or needs. As a result, such implementations cannot meet the needs of users for personalized classification and favorite registration.

[0020] To make it easier for users to access media works again, many applications provide a collection function that allows users to save some works into a collection. Unlike tab pages, users can usually manage the content in a collection, for example, adding works to a collection or removing works from a collection. Compared with system-managed tab pages, the collection function can meet users' needs for categorizing and favorite works. In light of this, if the collection function can guide users to categorize target works into specific collections, it can help users develop good categorization and favorite habits, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0021] In response to this, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a solution for information processing. The solution includes determining whether to present guide information for a predetermined collection based on at least one of information about the target work and information about the collection in response to detecting a favorite operation for the target work, and presenting the guide information for the predetermined collection in a predetermined area of ​​a user interface if it is determined to present the guide information for the predetermined collection. In this way, the user can be guided to register the target work in the predetermined collection, helping the user to more appropriately classify and register the target work as a favorite, thereby improving the user experience.

[0022] Simply to better understand various embodiments of the present disclosure, the following exemplary embodiments refer to the user interfaces illustrated in FIGS. 3A-5. It should be understood that the user interfaces illustrated in FIGS. 3A-5 are merely exemplary, and that various actual designs may exist. For example, individual graphical elements and / or controls within the user interfaces may have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more of the elements and / or controls may be omitted or substituted, and one or more other elements and / or controls may also be present. Furthermore, the user interfaces may include any suitable content. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0023] Furthermore, a user can switch and jump between user interfaces by activating a control / entry within each interface. It should be understood that the logic for switching and jumping may be configured as desired. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, a user jumps from a first user interface to a second user interface by activating a control. In another embodiment, a user jumps from a first user interface to a third user interface by activating a different control. The disclosure is not limited in this respect. Also, while multiple user interfaces are described in one particular embodiment, it should be understood that any of the interfaces described in this disclosure may be independently implemented and protected as separate embodiments.

[0024] Furthermore, it should be understood that in some exemplary examples below, the predetermined collection is defined as a "watch later" collection. The "watch later" collection is used for exemplary purposes only. In practice, the name of the predetermined collection may be of any design and / or the predetermined collection may be categorized for any particular purpose. The disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0025] Furthermore, the term "target work" in this disclosure refers to any type of media work, including but not limited to an audio file, a video file, a picture file, a text file, etc. Specifically, a target work may be a short video, a piece of music, a picture, a collection of pictures, a multimedia clip, audiovisual material, a novel, etc. The disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0026] Example Environment 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an exemplary environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented. In this exemplary environment 100, a terminal device 110 has an application 120 installed. A user 140 may interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 110 and / or an accessory device of the terminal device 110. The application 120 may be a content-sharing application that may provide various services related to media content / creations to the user 140, including viewing, commenting, retweeting, creating (e.g., taking and / or editing), posting, etc. As used herein, "media content / creations" may include one or more types of content, such as video, pictures, moving images, collections of pictures, audio, text, etc.

[0027] In the environment 100 of FIG. 1 , when an application 120 is active, the terminal device 110 may present a page 150 of the application 120. The page 150 may include various pages that the application 120 can provide, such as an information display page, a content creation page, a content posting page, a message page, and a personal homepage. The application 120 may provide a content viewing function for viewing various content posted by the application 120. The application 120 may further provide content creation functions, including the ability to capture, upload, edit, and / or post media content. The application 120 may also provide interaction functions, including the ability to interact with other users (e.g., adding friends) and various content (including liking, liking, commenting on content, etc.).

[0028] In some embodiments, terminal device 110 communicates with server 130 to facilitate the provision of services to application 120. Terminal device 110 may be any type of mobile, fixed, or portable 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 / camcorder, positioning device, television receiver, radio receiver, e-reader, gaming device, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals for these devices, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, terminal device 110 may also support any type of user-specific interface (e.g., “wearable” circuitry, etc.). Server 130 may be any type of computing system / server capable of providing computing capabilities, including, but not limited to, a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, etc.

[0029] It should be understood that the structure and function of each element in environment 100 is described for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0030] Example Process 2 shows a flowchart of a process 200 for information processing according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 200 may be implemented in the terminal device 110. The process 200 will now be described with reference to FIG.

[0031] In box 210, in response to detecting a favorite operation for the target work, the terminal device 110 determines whether to present guide information for the given collection.

[0032] If it is determined in box 220 that guide information for the predetermined collection is to be presented, the terminal device 110 presents the guide information for the predetermined collection in a predetermined region of the user interface. For example, the guide information for the predetermined collection may be presented in a lower region, a middle region, or an upper region of the user interface. Furthermore, the guide information may be presented in various forms, such as a pop-up window, a speech bubble, etc. Furthermore, in some embodiments, to better present the guide information to the user, corresponding effects / dynamic effects may be added to the guide information, or a corresponding prompt sound may be played along with the presentation of the guide information.

[0033] In this way, the user can be guided to register the target works in a predetermined collection, helping the user better categorize and favorite the target works, and improving the user experience.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, whether to present guide information may be determined based on at least one factor, and the at least one factor may be rationally designed according to actual needs.

[0035] In some embodiments, a determination may be made as to whether to present guide information for a given collection based on information about the target work. Further, in some embodiments, the information about the target work includes the content size of the target work and the user's viewing of the target work.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment where the target work is video / audio, the content capacity of the target work may be the playing time length of the video / audio. In an exemplary embodiment where the target work is a collection of pictures, the content capacity of the target work may be the number of pictures in the collection of pictures. In an exemplary embodiment where the target work is text content, the content capacity of the target work may be the character length of the text content.

[0037] In some embodiments, the user's viewing status of the target work may be, for example, whether the user has finished viewing the target work, the content size of the target work that has not been viewed, or the percentage of content that has / has not been viewed by the user.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment in which the target work is video / audio, the user's viewing status of the target work may be whether the video / audio has finished playing, the duration of the video / audio that has not been viewed, or whether a predetermined percentage of the video / audio that has been played / not played has been reached. In an exemplary embodiment in which the target work is a collection of pictures, the user's viewing status of the target work may be whether the collection of pictures has finished viewing, the number of pictures that have not been viewed, or whether a predetermined percentage of the pictures that the user has viewed / not viewed has been reached. In an exemplary embodiment in which the target work is text content, the user's viewing status of the target work may be whether the text content has finished viewing, the character length of the text content that has not been viewed, or whether a predetermined percentage of the text content that the user has viewed / not viewed has been reached.

[0039] It should be understood that the above-described examples of information about the target work are merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. In other embodiments, the information about the target work may be defined as other parameters, such as whether it belongs to a particular contributor, whether it belongs to a certain content type, whether it belongs to hot media, etc. The present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0040] Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, whether to present guide information for a given collection may be determined based on information about the collection. Further, the information about the collection may include the number of collections created or the number of works added to the given collection. In an exemplary embodiment where the given collection is "Watch Later," the information about the collection may include whether there are collections other than "Watch Later," the number of collections created by the user, and / or the number of works added to the "Watch Later" collection.

[0041] Next, with reference to a specific embodiment, it will be described how the presentation of guide information for a given collection is determined based on information about the target work and / or information about the collection.

[0042] In some embodiments, if the content capacity of the target work exceeds a capacity threshold, the terminal device 110 may determine to present guide information for a predetermined collection. For example, if the target work is a video / audio whose total duration exceeds a predetermined duration, a collection of pictures whose number of pictures exceeds a predetermined number, and long text content, the terminal device 110 may determine to present guide information for the predetermined collection. This is because users are more likely to register target works with medium or larger content capacity as favorites.

[0043] Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, if the user's viewing percentage of the target works does not exceed a percentage threshold (or if the content capacity of the target works not viewed by the user exceeds a threshold capacity), for example, if the viewing percentage of the viewed video / audio is less than a predetermined percentage, or if the duration of the unviewed video / audio exceeds a predetermined duration, the terminal device 110 may determine to present guide information for a predetermined collection because the user has a potential viewing need for such target works.

[0044] Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, if the created collection does not include any collection other than the predetermined collection, the terminal device 110 may determine to present guide information for the predetermined collection. For example, if only the predetermined collection exists, the terminal device 110 may determine to present guide information for the predetermined collection. This is because, if only the predetermined collection exists, it is estimated that the user has not yet developed good habits of categorizing and registering favorites, and the terminal device 110 may guide the user to categorize and register favorites for the target work.

[0045] Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, if the number of works added to a predetermined collection is less than a threshold number, the terminal device 110 may determine to present guide information for the predetermined collection. For example, if a small number of target works exist in the predetermined collection, the terminal device 110 may determine to present guide information for the predetermined collection. In this case, it is considered that the user has not yet paid sufficient attention to the predetermined collection. In this case, the user can be guided to register the target work in the predetermined collection.

[0046] Furthermore, to avoid a poor user experience due to too many guides, the terminal device determines not to present guide information for a specified collection under certain conditions. In some embodiments, the terminal device determines to present guide information for a specified collection only if the number of times the guide information is presented within a specified period does not reach a threshold number. Conversely, the terminal device will not display the guide information even if other rules for triggering the presentation of the guide information are met. For example, if the specified period is one day and the threshold number is three times, the presentation of the guide information will not be triggered once it has been presented three times. In this way, the number of times the guide information is presented can be controlled within a reasonable range.

[0047] It should be understood that the above-described embodiments for determining whether to present guide information can be implemented individually or in any combination, thereby enabling flexible and rational design of the guide information presentation rules.

[0048] Next, the presentation of guide information will be further described in conjunction with FIGS. 3A to 3C.

[0049] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 presents first guide information in association with a confirmation message of the favorite operation for the target work, and the first guide information is used to guide the user to classify the target work into a predetermined collection.

[0050] First, refer to FIG. 3A . In FIG. 3A , when a user triggers an operation to register a target work as a favorite (e.g., when the user clicks on star-shaped favorite control 301), favorite control 301 is filled with bright yellow or another color. In response to the target work being successfully registered as a favorite, a confirmation message 302 of the favorite operation for the target work, "Favorite Registration Success," is presented in a predetermined area, and associated with this, first guide information 303, "Add to Watch Later," is presented, thereby guiding the user to classify the target work into a predetermined collection. In this user interface, by presenting first guide information 303, "Add to Watch Later," to the user, the predetermined collection can be effectively encouraged.

[0051] In some embodiments, upon detecting a favorite classification operation for the target work, the terminal device 110 may present a selectable collection list, the collection list including at least an identifier of the predetermined collection, and the terminal device 110 may further present second guide information associated with the identifier of the predetermined collection, the second guide information being used to highlight the predetermined collection.

[0052] As a specific example, when a favorite classification operation for a target work is detected, for example, when a user triggers the prompt box of FIG. 3A, the user interface jumps to FIG. 3B. In FIG. 3B, a collection list is displayed (the created collections include only the predetermined collection "Watch Later") and includes second guide information 305 for highlighting the predetermined collection. The second guide information for highlighting the predetermined collection may be expressed in many forms, for example, by displaying the word "Add," with the word "Add" set in an eye-catching color, bolded, or with a dynamic effect, the name of the collection "Watch Later" set in an eye-catching color, bolded, or with a dynamic effect, and the collection "Watch Later" placed at the top, etc. The present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0053] When a user triggers the pop-up box 304 in Figure 3B, the user interface jumps to Figure 3C. In Figure 3C, a pop-up box 307 prompts the user that the target work has been added to a predetermined collection and further prompts the user that the predetermined collection is available for viewing, displaying a viewing prompt message 306, such as "Go see it." By triggering the pop-up box 307, the user can jump to a user interface such as the user's home page, a collection list, or a predetermined collection, facilitating the user's viewing of the predetermined collection.

[0054] If the predetermined policy is satisfied through the above process, the terminal device 110 can present guide information to guide the user to add the target work to the predetermined collection. As a specific example, if the created collection includes only the predetermined collection, and / or if the number of works in the predetermined collection is less than a predetermined threshold, and / or if the content capacity of the target work is greater than a predetermined threshold capacity, and / or if viewing of the target work has not yet been completed, the terminal device 110 guides the user to classify the target work into the predetermined collection using Figures 3A to 3C.

[0055] Next, referring to Figures 3D, 3E, and 3C, an exemplary process is described for determining not to present guide information for a specified collection when the collection created by the user includes only the specified collection, or at least reducing the strength of the guide that guides the user to classify the target work into the specified collection.

[0056] First, refer to FIG. 3D . In FIG. 3D , when a user triggers an operation to register a target work as a favorite, the favorite control is filled with bright yellow or another color. In response to the target work being successfully registered as a favorite, a confirmation message of the favorite operation for the target work, "Favorite Registration Successful," is presented in a predetermined area, and associated with this, guide information "Add to Collection" is presented to guide the user to classify the target work into a predetermined collection. Compared to the user interface shown in FIG. 3A , the user interface of FIG. 3D does not present guide information for a predetermined collection, but only guides the user to classify and register the target work as a favorite.

[0057] Next, when it detects that the user has triggered the prompt box in Fig. 3D, the user interface jumps to Fig. 3E. In Fig. 3E, a collection list is displayed (the collections created by the user only include the predetermined collection "Watch Later"). Compared with the user interface shown in Fig. 3B, the user interface in Fig. 3E does not provide second guide information highlighting the predetermined collection, but simply places this predetermined collection at the top.

[0058] When the user triggers the pop-up box 309 in Figure 3E, the user interface may jump to Figure 3C and prompt the user that the target work has been added to their "Watch Later" collection, without repeating the user's actions in the user interface shown in Figure 3C.

[0059] Next, in conjunction with Figures 3D, 3F, and 3C, an exemplary process is described for determining not to present guide information for a specified collection when the created folder contains collections other than the specified collection, or at least reducing the intensity of the guide that guides the user to classify the target work into the specified collection.

[0060] 3D , when a user triggers an operation to register a target work as a favorite (e.g., when the user clicks on the star-shaped favorite control), the favorite control is filled with a bright yellow color. In response to the target work being successfully registered as a favorite, a confirmation message of the favorite operation for the target work, "Favorite Registration Successful," is presented in a predetermined area, and associated guide information, "Add to Collection," is presented to guide the user in classifying the target work into a predetermined collection.

[0061] When it is detected that the user has triggered the prompt box in Figure 3D, the user interface jumps to Figure 3F. In Figure 3F, a collection list is displayed, including the predetermined collection 312 called "Watch Later" and other created collections. In the specific embodiment of Figure 3F, the predetermined collection "Watch Later" is placed at the top. When the user triggers the area related to the predetermined collection 312, the user interface jumps to Figure 3C, prompting the user that the target work has been added to the "Watch Later" collection. The user's operation in the user interface shown in Figure 3C is not repeated.

[0062] It should be understood that if the user triggers an area related to another collection (e.g., camping), the target work will be added to the other collection and jump to another related prompt interface.

[0063] In some embodiments, a predetermined collection is a collection that has at least one of the following attributes: created by system default, the name of the collection cannot be changed by the user, the collection cannot be deleted by the user, the collection is privately accessible, or placed at the top of the user's collection list. These system properties are prompted to the user via the user interface, for example, by setting a corresponding operation control to prohibit the operation and / or by popping up a prompt message when the user clicks the corresponding control.

[0064] In some embodiments, a given collection is configured as a system collection, in other words, creation of the collection does not require any additional user interaction.

[0065] In some embodiments, if a user has already created a collection with the same name as the given collection, the given collection can be merged with the collection created by the user. Alternatively, if the user does not have a collection with the same name as the given collection, the system creates the given collection for the user. In some embodiments, the given collection is displayed at the top of the corresponding user interface, i.e., as the first collection in the collection list. Referring to FIG. 4A, given collection 401 (discussed below) is created as a system collection and is displayed at the top of "My Collections."

[0066] Furthermore, this collection can be followed and unfollowed by a user, just like any other collection. In response to a user following a given collection, the given collection may be added to the "following collections." In response to a user unfollowing a given collection, the given collection may be removed from the "following collections." Referring to FIG. 4B, when a given collection is followed, a given collection 402 (shown below) is added to the "following collections."

[0067] In some embodiments, a given collection has private accessibility, i.e., it cannot be accessed by other users. Referring to FIG. 4C, a given collection 403 (see below) may have a non-public prompt " (outside 1) TIFF2026507714000002.tif5115" and displays "0 Followers." Still referring to FIG. 4D , the control 404 for setting the public accessibility of the collection is disabled, e.g., the control 404 is set to a light gray color. Alternatively or additionally, when the user clicks on the control 404, a prompt message 405 pops up prompting that the given collection has private accessibility (e.g., "Watch Later" does not support being set to public).

[0068] In some embodiments, the name of a given collection cannot be changed by the user. Referring to FIG. 4E, rename control 406 is disabled. Alternatively or additionally, when the user clicks control 406, a prompt message 407 pops up indicating that the name of the given collection cannot be changed (e.g., "Watch Later" does not support renaming).

[0069] In some embodiments, the name of a given collection cannot be deleted by the user. Referring to FIG. 4F, the delete collection control 408 is disabled. Alternatively or additionally, when the user clicks on the control 408, a prompt message 409 pops up to inform the user that the name of the given collection cannot be deleted (e.g., "Watch Later" does not support deletion).

[0070] The above-described exemplary process allows the target work to be added to a predetermined collection. In some embodiments, once the target work is added to the predetermined collection, the target work and favorite indication information are presented to the user on a content recommendation page, where the favorite indication information indicates that the target work has been added to the predetermined collection.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 5, once the target work is recommended, the user interface presents a favorites indication 510 "For Later," which indicates that the target work has been added to the watch later collection.
