[0013] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Although specific embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present invention. The drawings and embodiments of the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] Please note that the headings of all sections / subsections provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this specification, and all types of embodiments may be included in any section / subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any way with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or in different sections / subsections.

[0015] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the term "including" and its similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to these". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based 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". There may be other explicit and implicit definitions included below. Terms such as "first", "second", etc. may refer to different objects or the same object. There may be other explicit and implicit definitions included below.

[0016] The embodiments of the present invention may be involved in user data, data acquisition and / or use, etc. These aspects comply with the corresponding laws, regulations, and related regulations. In the embodiments of the present invention, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, transfer, use, etc. are carried out on the premise of the user's knowledge and confirmation. Accordingly, when implementing each embodiment of the present invention, it is necessary to notify the user of the types of relevant data or information, the scope of use, the use scenario, etc. through appropriate means in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, and obtain the user's permission. The specific notification and / or permission methods may vary according to the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of the present invention is not limited in this regard.

[0017] When the technical solutions described in this specification and embodiments comply with personal information processing, the processing is carried out on the premise that there is a legal basis (such as the consent of the personal information subject, necessary for the performance of the contract, etc.), and is carried out only within the scope of the regulations or the contract. Even if the user refuses to handle personal information outside the scope required for the basic functions, it does not affect the user's use of the basic functions.

[0018] As briefly described above, in order to facilitate the user's understanding of the live streaming content of the live streaming room before entering the live streaming room, usually, a preview interface of the live streaming room is further provided. After the user browses the preview interface of the live streaming room and determines that he or she is interested in the live streaming room, the user can enter the live streaming room and browse the live streaming interface of the live streaming room.

[0019] Conventionally, an electronic device can only switch from a preview interface to presenting a live streaming interface of a live streaming room in response to receiving a touch operation on a browsing interface, and the interface switching method is relatively single. Furthermore, the conventional preview interface does not include controls for interaction, and a viewing user cannot interact with an anchor user on the preview interface. The viewing user can only switch to the live streaming interface and interact with the anchor user only through the interaction controls in the live streaming interface. As a result, the user's interaction experience is degraded.

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention propose a technical solution for interface interaction. Hereinafter, various exemplary implementations of the technical solution will be further described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. To explain the principles and ideas of the embodiments of the present invention, the following specific description refers to the field of live streaming. However, it should be understood that this is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Embodiments of the present invention can be applied to various fields such as various content sharing, video viewing, shopping, and the like.

[0021] Exemplary environment Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary environment 100 in which an embodiment of the present invention can be realized. In this exemplary environment 100, an application 120 is installed on an electronic device 110. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its accessories. The application 120 may be a social application, a content-sharing application, a shopping application, or any other suitable application.

[0022] In the environment 100 of Figure 1, when application 120 is active, electronic device 110 can present the interface 150 of application 120. Interface 150 may include various interfaces that application 120 can provide, such as the live streaming interface of a live streaming room. For example, a social-type application can display the live streaming interfaces of various live streaming rooms, and viewers can interact with anchor users through these interfaces.

[0023] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to provide services to the application 120. The electronic device 110 may be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or mobile terminal, and includes mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / video cameras, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book readers, game devices, or any combination thereof, and includes accessories and peripherals for these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also support any type of user interface (e.g., “wearable” circuitry). The server 130 is any type of computing system / server capable of providing computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, and computing devices in a cloud environment.

[0024] The structure and function of environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and should be understood as not to imply any limitation to the scope of the invention.

[0025] In the following sections, several exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0026] Exemplary Interface To more intuitively represent the interface interaction mechanism, the following will explain using an example of a live streaming scenario, and the embodiments of the present invention will present an exemplary interface to enable the user to understand the corresponding screen display principle.

[0027] Example Scenario 1 Figure 2A shows an exemplary preview interface 200A according to several embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2A, the preview interface 200A can present anchor user information (e.g., anchor user name), a screen associated with the anchor user (e.g., live streaming screen), and guidance information 201. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 switches from the preview interface 200A to the live streaming interface 200B of the live streaming room shown in Figure 2B in response to receiving a touch operation on the preview interface 200A or a touch operation on the guidance information 201. The touch operation may be, for example, a click operation, a double-click operation, a long press operation, a swipe operation, etc.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2B, the live streaming interface 200B can present a screen associated with the anchor user (i.e., the live streaming screen). The live streaming interface 200B may further include multiple display areas. Area 210 can present information associated with the anchor user, including, but not limited to, the anchor user's name and the anchor user's identifier (e.g., the anchor user's avatar). In some embodiments, area 210 may further present information related to the live streaming room, such as the number of likes on the live streaming room.

[0029] Region 220 can display comment information from the live streaming room. Because region 220 is limited, in some embodiments only display a portion of the comment information in region 220. For example, region 220 may display some recently published comment information. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may display more comment information in region 220 in response to receiving a swap-up operation.

[0030] Region 230 can present interaction controls. Electronic device 110 can trigger a function corresponding to an interaction control in response to receiving a touch operation on that interaction control. Interaction controls include, but are not limited to, comment controls, like controls, gift controls, and transfer controls, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in this respect. Exemplaryly, electronic device 110 can trigger a like function in the live streaming interface 200B in response to receiving a touch operation on a like control.

[0031] The interface interaction method of triggering an interface switch by performing a touch operation on the preview interface 200A or guidance information 201 described above is more simple, resulting in a reduced user interface interaction experience. To solve this problem, in embodiments of the present invention, a first control is further presented in the preview interface. The electronic device 110 can switch from the preview interface to the presentation of the live streaming interface of the live streaming room in response to a trigger operation on the first control in the preview interface.

[0032] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can present a preview interface and simultaneously present a first control directly to the preview interface. In some other embodiments, to prevent accidental switching of the interface by the viewing user, the electronic device 110 can present a first control to the preview interface based on a comparison of the viewing duration of the preview interface with a threshold. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can determine the viewing duration of the preview interface in real time and compare it with a predetermined threshold, and present a first control to the preview interface when the viewing duration reaches the threshold. The threshold here may be predetermined by the user and input to the electronic device 110, or it may be determined independently by the electronic device 110 based on past interface interaction history. Exemplarily, if the threshold is 10 seconds, the electronic device 110 may not present a first control to the preview interface in response to the viewing duration of the preview interface being less than 10 seconds, and may present a first control to the preview interface in response to the viewing duration of the preview interface reaching 10 seconds.

[0033] Furthermore, after presenting a first control to the preview interface, the electronic device 110 can be controlled to switch from the preview interface to presenting the live streaming interface of the live streaming room in response to a trigger operation on the first control within the preview interface, and to trigger the target function associated with the live streaming interface.

[0034] In some embodiments, the goal functionality associated with the live streaming interface may represent interactions associated with the live streaming content of the live streaming room. Such interactions may include, for example, comments on the live streaming content, likes, and virtual gifts. In yet another embodiment, the goal functionality associated with the live streaming interface may further represent functions associated with the live streaming party of the live streaming room, such as following the live streaming party or sending private messages to the live streaming party.

[0035] In some embodiments, the target function may be determined by a first control and correspond to a second control in the live streaming interface. Thus, both the first and second controls may be used to trigger the target function, and the electronic device 110 can further control the target function in the live streaming interface to be triggered in response to receiving a trigger operation for the second control in the live streaming interface. Note that the target function is a function of the live streaming interface only, and the electronic device 110 can switch to the live streaming interface after receiving a trigger operation for the first control in the preview interface and trigger the corresponding target function in the live streaming interface.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first control has a display style corresponding to the second control. For example, the first control may have the same display style as the second control. The display style may include, for example, an identifier, color, size, etc. Exemplarily, the first control may have a different display style from the second control; that is, both the first and second controls may be used to trigger a target function, but their display styles do not have to be exactly the same. For example, the first control may have a different size from the second control. In some embodiments, the first display position of the first control in the preview interface corresponds to the second display position of the second control in the live streaming interface. Exemplarily, the first display position of the first control in the preview interface and the second display position of the second control in the live streaming interface may be the same position.

[0037] Taking an example where the first control includes a comment control and a like control, the electronic device 110 can, in response to a trigger operation on the comment control of the preview interface, switch from the preview interface to the presentation of the live streaming interface of the live streaming room and trigger the comment function in the live streaming interface. The electronic device 110 can, in response to a trigger operation on the like control of the preview interface, switch from the preview interface to the presentation of the live streaming interface of the live streaming room and trigger the like function in the live streaming interface. Figure 2C shows a schematic diagram of interface interaction according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2C, the preview interface 200A-1 includes a control presentation area 240 for presenting the first control. The control presentation area 240 includes a comment control 202-1 and a like control 203-1. To further enhance the display effect of the preview interface 200A-1, the preview interface 200A-1 further presents a like special effect 204. In response to a trigger operation on the comment control 202-1, the electronic device 110 presents the live streaming interface 200B-1, and when the comment function of the live streaming interface 200B-1 is triggered, it presents the comment input area 250. In response to a trigger operation on the like control 203-1, the electronic device 110 presents the live streaming interface 200B-2, and when the like function of the live streaming interface 200B-2 is triggered, it presents the current user's like information 205 for the live streaming room (i.e., that user 5 liked the anchor) in area 220, and presents the current user's user identifier (e.g., the current user's user avatar 206) in the like special effect 204.

[0038] In some embodiments, to simplify the method of performing interface interaction through comment controls and switching to the live streaming interface, a first control in the preview interface includes a comment control (also called the first comment control) for generating predetermined comment content. The comment control for generating predetermined comment content may display predetermined comment content. The predetermined comment content may be pre-configured by the user or may be independently generated by the electronic device 110 based on past comment information. In response to receiving a trigger operation on the comment control for generating predetermined comment content, the electronic device 110 can switch to the live streaming interface and transmit the predetermined comment content to the live streaming interface. As shown in Figure 2D, the control presentation area 240 of the preview interface 200A-2 includes comment controls 202-2, 202-3, and 202-4 for generating predetermined comment content. In response to a trigger operation on comment control 202-4, the electronic device 110 can switch to the live streaming interface 200B-3 and present a comment 207 corresponding to the predetermined comment content in the live streaming interface 200B-3.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first control of the preview interface further presents target content that shows interaction information within the live streaming room. The interaction information may include, for example, at least one of the following: comment information, like information, or gift information. The target content may be static or dynamic, where the dynamic content may correspond to real-time interaction information within the live streaming room.

[0040] In some embodiments, real-time interaction information within a live streaming room may be, for example, real-time comment information. As shown in Figure 2E, the control presentation area 240 of the preview interface 200A-3 includes a comment control 202-5 (also called the second comment control) for the target content on which real-time comment information within the designated live streaming room (i.e., "User 4: Come on, come on" as shown in the figure) is presented. In some embodiments, if there are more viewers in the live streaming room and more comment information, the electronic device 110 may randomly select one of several real-time comment pieces at regular intervals and present it to the comment control 202-5 of the preview interface to avoid the comment information displayed on the preview interface updating too quickly. The electronic device 110 may switch to the live streaming interface 200B-1 in response to a trigger operation on the comment control 202-5. The live streaming interface 200B-1 may then present the actual comment information. Furthermore, the comment function within the live streaming interface 200B-1 may be triggered to present a comment panel 250 for interaction with the live streaming content. In response, the user can enter comment content into the comment panel 250.

[0041] In some embodiments, real-time interaction information within the live streaming room may be, for example, real-time "likes" information. As shown in Figure 2F, the control presentation area 240 of preview interfaces 200A-4 and 200A-5 includes a like control 208 for target content where real-time "likes" information within the live streaming room is presented (i.e., "This site has reached 6.8 likes" and "98 people have liked this anchor" as shown in the figure). To stimulate the interest of viewers in the live streaming room and encourage more viewers to enter and watch the live streaming room, the electronic device 110 can decide whether to present preview interface 200A-4 or preview interface 200A-5 based on real-time "likes" information. Specifically, if the total number of likes is greater than a predetermined number, the electronic device 110 can present preview interface 200A-4 including the total number of likes. If the total number of likes is lower but the number of real-time likes is higher, the electronic device 110 can present a preview interface 200A-5 that includes the real-time number of likes. In response to a trigger operation on the like control 208, the electronic device 110 presents a live streaming interface 200B-2, and when the like function of the live streaming interface 200B-2 is triggered, it can present the current user's like information 205 for the live streaming room (i.e., that user 5 liked the anchor) in area 220, and present the current user's user identifier (e.g., the current user's user avatar 206) in the like special effect 204.

[0042] In some embodiments, to avoid wasting power consumption caused by presenting the first control multiple times in live streaming rooms of user interest, the electronic device 110 may present the first control only once in the preview interface corresponding to each live streaming room during a first period. The first period may be predetermined by the user or determined independently by the electronic device 110. The first period may be, for example, one hour. Exemplarily, if a viewer performs a predetermined operation on the preview interface to switch to another interface unrelated to the live streaming room, the electronic device 110 will not present the first control when it subsequently presents the preview interface for the live streaming room again.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can further perform frequency control of the number of times the first control is displayed. Specifically, for the same live streaming room, if the electronic device 110 has not received two consecutive trigger operations from the current user for the first control, it can control the preview interface corresponding to the live streaming room so as not to present the first control to the current user during a second period. The second period may be predetermined by the user or determined independently by the electronic device 110. The second period may be, for example, 7 days. In some embodiments, after reaching the second period and re-presenting the first control, the electronic device 110 can further control the preview interface corresponding to the live streaming room so as not to present the current user's first control during a third period in response to the fact that it has not received two consecutive trigger operations from the current user for the first control. The third period is longer than the second period, and like the second period, the third period may be predetermined by the user or determined independently by the electronic device 110. The third period may be, for example, 30 days. This helps reduce the number of times the primary control is displayed for live streaming rooms that are not of interest to the user, improving the user interface interaction experience and reducing the power consumption of the device.

[0044] In conjunction with the various embodiments described in Figures 2A to 2F above, the electronic device 110 can present a first control to the preview interface and, in response to receiving a trigger operation for the first control, switch to presenting the live streaming interface of the live streaming room. The electronic device 110 controls to trigger the target function associated with the live streaming interface associated with the first control. This helps to increase the number of interaction methods the user can use to switch from the preview interface to the live streaming interface, improving the tactile aspect of interface switching and further enhancing the user interaction experience.

[0045] Please understand that the specific values ​​and details within the interface mentioned in the above exemplary scenarios are illustrative only and are not intended to constitute limitations of the present invention.

[0046] Example Scenario 2 In some embodiments, in addition to presenting a first control and receiving trigger operations for the first control, the electronic device 110 can further present guidance information associated with entering the live streaming room.

[0047] The electronic device 110 can present a preview interface for a live streaming room and, at least based on a comparison of the viewing duration of the preview interface with a threshold, present guidance information associated with entering the live streaming room. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can determine the viewing duration of the preview interface in real time, compare it with a predetermined threshold, and, if the viewing duration reaches the threshold, present guidance information associated with entering the live streaming room. The threshold here may be pre-set by the user and entered into the electronic device 110, or it may be determined independently by the electronic device 110 based on past interface interaction history. For example, if the threshold is 10 seconds, the electronic device 110 may not present guidance information to the preview interface in response to the viewing duration being less than 10 seconds, and may present guidance information to the preview interface in response to the viewing duration reaching 10 seconds.

[0048] The electronic device 110 switches from the preview interface to the live streaming interface of the live streaming room in response to not receiving a predetermined operation associated with guidance information within a predetermined period. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 defaults to switching directly to the live streaming interface in response to reaching a predetermined period without receiving a predetermined operation associated with guidance information. Guidance information associated with entering the live streaming room, presented by the electronic device 110 to prompt the user for the remaining time of the predetermined period, may include, for example, a progress control used to indicate the remaining time of the predetermined period. The progress control may present a specific value for the remaining time and may further present the percentage of the remaining time relative to the predetermined time. Guidance information associated with entering the live streaming room, presented by the electronic device 110, may further include, for example, a cancel control. In response to a trigger operation on the cancel control, the electronic device 110 may stop presenting guidance information to prevent switching from the preview interface to the live streaming interface. Figure 3A shows an exemplary preview interface 300A according to some other embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3A, the preview interface 300A presents guidance information 301-1, which includes a progress control, and a cancellation control 302-1. The progress control in the guidance information 301-1 can indicate the remaining time with a progress bar, and the electronic device 110 can shorten the length of the progress bar as the remaining time decreases.

[0049] In some embodiments, to highlight the remaining time, the electronic device 110 can directly display the remaining time in the guidance information. As shown in Figure 3B, the preview interface 300B directly displays guidance information 301-2, which includes the remaining time, and the cancel control 302-1. In the guidance information 301-2, the remaining time (10s) is displayed in text.

[0050] In some embodiments, to facilitate the user stopping the interface switch in a timely manner, the electronic device 110 may directly present a cancellation area with the same function as the cancellation control. As shown in Figure 3C, the preview interface 300C includes a guidance area 310 and a cancellation area 320. The guidance area 310 may present the remaining time for a predetermined period. In response to receiving a trigger operation on the cancellation area 320, the electronic device 110 may stop presenting the guidance information to prevent switching from the preview interface to the live streaming interface.

[0051] In some embodiments, the guidance information may further include a first control. The electronic device 110 can be controlled to switch from the preview interface to the live streaming interface of the live streaming room in response to a trigger operation on the first control in the preview interface, and to trigger a target function associated with the live streaming interface, which is determined by the first control. The interface interaction methods related to the first control have been described in detail above in conjunction with Figures 2C to 2F and are not repeated herein.

[0052] In some embodiments, to avoid wasted power consumption caused by displaying guidance information multiple times for live streaming rooms of no user interest, the electronic device 110 may display guidance information only once in the preview interface corresponding to each live streaming room during the fourth period. The fourth period may be pre-set by the user or determined independently by the electronic device 110. The fourth period may be, for example, one hour. Exemplarily, if a viewer triggers a cancel control in the preview interface, or performs a predetermined operation on the preview interface to switch to another interface unrelated to the live streaming room, the electronic device 110 will not display guidance information when re-displaying the preview interface for the live streaming room during the subsequent fourth period. This helps reduce the number of times guidance information is displayed for live streaming rooms of no user interest, improving the user's interface interaction experience and reducing the device's power consumption.
