[0016] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. While the drawings illustrate several embodiments of this disclosure, the disclosure can be realized in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more comprehensive and complete understanding of this disclosure. The drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are illustrative only and do not limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0017] Please note that the headings of any section / subsection provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout, and any type of embodiment may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, an embodiment described in any section / subsection may be combined in any way with any other embodiment described in the same section / subsection and / or in different sections / subsections.

[0018] In the descriptions of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "includes" and similar terms mean open inclusion, i.e., "includes but not limited to." The term "based on" means "based at least in part." The term "one embodiment" or "this embodiment" means "at least one embodiment." The term "several embodiments" means "at least several embodiments." The following descriptions may include other explicit and implicit definitions. Terms such as "first," "second," etc., may refer to different or the same target. The following descriptions may include other explicit and implicit definitions.

[0019] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, user data, data acquisition and / or use, etc. may be relevant. All of these aspects comply with relevant laws, regulations and provisions. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the collection, acquisition, processing, processing, transfer, use, etc. of all data are carried out on the premise that the user knows and permits. Therefore, when implementing each embodiment of the present disclosure, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, in an appropriate manner, the types of data or information that may be relevant, the scope of use, the usage scenarios, etc. must be notified to the user and the user's permission must be obtained. The specific method of notification and / or permission can vary according to the actual situation and application scenarios, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this regard.

[0020] The technical solutions described in this specification and examples are carried out on the basis of having the legality basis (for example, obtaining the consent of the personal information subject, or being necessary for the performance of the contract, etc.) when dealing with personal information, and are handled only within the prescribed or agreed scope. Even if the user refuses to handle personal information other than the information necessary for the basic functions, it will not affect the use of the basic functions.

[0021] As described above, usually, a reservation control for the live room is also provided so that the viewer can timely obtain the distribution notification information of the live room that the viewer is interested in at the start of the live broadcast. In response to the viewer's selection operation on this reservation control, it can be determined that the viewer is interested in that live room, and when the live room starts, the distribution notification information can be sent to the user and presented to enter the live room.

[0022] Conventionally, according to the settings of the distributor, reservation stickers can be displayed on the designated works posted by the distributor. When viewers view the designated works of the distributor, they can reserve the live broadcast of the distributor by clicking on the reservation control displayed on the reservation sticker. However, such reservation stickers need to be set by the distributor himself after determining the time of the live broadcast. That is, when the distributor himself has not determined the time of the live broadcast, such reservation stickers cannot be displayed on the work, and viewers cannot reserve the live broadcast either. This affects not only the promotion effect of the distributor's live broadcast, the viewing rate of the viewers' live broadcast, but also the interactive experience between the distributor and the viewers in the live broadcast.

[0023] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure propose a technical solution for live broadcast reservation. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a viewing interface of a work of a first user is displayed. When it is determined that the work is associated with a live broadcast scene, a reservation entry associated with the live event of the first user is displayed in the viewing interface. In response to a selection by a second user for the reservation entry, reminder information regarding the live event is transmitted to the second user at a timing associated with the live event. Thereby, the embodiments of the present disclosure can automatically determine whether a work posted by a distributor (i.e., the first user) is associated with a live broadcast scene, and if it is determined that it is associated, the reservation entry associated with the distributor's live broadcast can be automatically displayed. This reservation entry can transmit reminder information of the live broadcast to the viewer (i.e., the second user) in response to receiving a selection operation by the viewer. In this way, the promotion effect of the distributor's live broadcast can be enhanced, the viewing rate of the viewer's live broadcast can be increased, and the interactive experience between the distributor and the viewer in the live broadcast can be improved.

[0024] Various embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Some of the following descriptions refer to the live streaming field in order to illustrate the principles and ideas of the embodiments of this disclosure. However, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure in any way. The embodiments of this disclosure are applicable to various fields such as content sharing, video viewing, and shopping.

[0025] Examples of environments Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be realized. 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 its connected devices. The application 120 may be a social application, a content sharing application, a shopping application, or any other suitable application.

[0026] In the environment 100 of Figure 1, when application 120 is active, terminal device 110 can display the interface 150 of application 120. Interface 150 includes various interfaces that application 120 can provide, such as a live interface for a live streaming room and a content viewing interface. For example, application 120 can display live interfaces for different live streaming rooms, and viewers can interact with the broadcaster in various ways through these interfaces. Application 120 can also display a content viewing interface for content posted by users, and the user referred to here may be any user (for example, user 140 corresponding to terminal device 110 or other users).

[0027] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 communicates with the server 130 to provide services to the application 120. The 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 / video camera, positioning device, television receiver, radio receiver, e-book device, game device, or any combination thereof, accessories and peripherals for these devices, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may also support any type of interface to the user (e.g., "attachable" circuitry). The server 130 may be any type of computing system / server capable of providing computing power, including a mainframe, edge computing node, or computing device in a cloud environment.

[0028] The composition and function of each element in Environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only, without implying any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0029] The following describes some of the embodiments of this publication, with reference to the drawings.

[0030] Process example Figure 2 shows a flowchart of the live streaming reservation process 200 according to some embodiments of this disclosure. Process 200 can be implemented in terminal device 110. For the sake of discussion, process 200 will be described with reference to environment 100 in Figure 1.

[0031] In block 210, terminal device 110 displays a viewing interface for the first user's work. Here, the first user may be, for example, a broadcaster who has started a live stream.

[0032] In some embodiments, when application 120 is running, terminal device 110 can display a viewing interface for the first user's works. These works may, for example, be works made public by the first user for all users to view. These works may be works created and posted by the first user, or works transferred by the first user. These works may be multimedia content in any appropriate format, such as text, video, images, or audio.

[0033] The user corresponding to terminal device 110 may be any user. For example, it may be the first user or a second user other than the first user (the second user here could be, for example, a viewer user watching a live stream). In other words, regardless of who the user corresponding to terminal device 110 is, terminal device 110 can display to that user the viewing interface for the first user's works.

[0034] In some embodiments, in response to the application 120 being in a running state, the terminal device 110 may, by default, display a video content playback interface 200A. Also in some embodiments, when the application 120 is running, the terminal device 110 may, upon receiving a viewing request for the first user's work, display a viewing interface for the first user's work. The first user's work and viewing interface may be in any suitable style, and this disclosure does not limit the specific style of the work and viewing interface.

[0035] In block 220, in response to the determination that the work is associated with a live streaming scene, the terminal device 110 displays a reservation entry associated with the first user's live event on the viewing interface. The live event referred to here may be a live event set by the user (i.e., a live event in which the specific time of the live stream has been determined), or it may be the next live event not set by the user (i.e., a live event in which the specific time of the live stream has not yet been determined).

[0036] In some embodiments, the display of the reservation entry occurs independently of the first user's setup process. For example, when the first user sets up a reservation entry associated with a specific work, it is automatically determined, based on the process described below, that the specific work is associated with a live streaming scene, and the reservation entry associated with that specific work is displayed accordingly.

[0037] After displaying the viewing interface for the first user's work, terminal device 110 can determine whether the work is associated with a live streaming scene. The determination method will be explained in detail below, but will be omitted here.

[0038] In some embodiments, when the terminal device 110 determines that a work is associated with a live streaming scene, it can use a target container in the viewing interface to provide a reservation entry associated with the first user's live event. Here, the target container may be displayed at any position in the viewing interface, for example, in the upper left corner, upper right corner, lower left corner, lower right corner, etc. In some embodiments, in order to reduce the impact of the displayed target container on the work (e.g., obscuring the work by the target container), the reservation entry here may be associated with, for example, the information description area of ​​the work. In some embodiments, if the live event is a live event set by the user, the reservation entry also displays the time information of the set live event.

[0039] Figures 3A and 3B show schematic diagrams of browsing interfaces according to several embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 3A and 3B, the terminal device 110 can use the target container 301 in browsing interface 300A or the target container 302 in browsing interface 300B to provide a reservation entry associated with a first user's live event. The reservation entry here may be text such as, for example, "Notify me of the next live" or "XX / XX / XX XX:XX | Live Reservation". The target container 301 / target container 302 is associated with the information description area of ​​the work (i.e., the area shown in Figure 3A or Figure 3B as "@User123 XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX"). Although the target container 301 / target container 302 in the drawings is located below the text information of the information description area, it may be located above the text information of the information description area or in the middle of the text information of the information description area (e.g., below "@User123", above "XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX"). The present disclosure does not limit the specific location of the target container.

[0040] Refer back to Figure 2. In some embodiments, if it is determined that a work is not associated with a live streaming scene, the terminal device 110 may hide the target container in the browsing interface to avoid affecting the user's work viewing experience. In this case, only text information describing the first user and / or work is displayed in the information description area of ​​the browsing interface, and the target container is not displayed.

[0041] In block 230, the terminal device 110, in response to the second user's selection for a reservation entry, sends reminder information about the live event to the second user at a timing relevant to the live event. The terminal device 110 can determine, for example, that a selection operation for a reservation entry has been detected, and in response to this, determine that a selection for a reservation entry has been received. The selection operation here includes, but is not limited to, click operations, double-click operations, long-press operations, swipe operations, etc.

[0042] In some embodiments, in response to a selection of a reservation entry by a second user, the terminal device 110 may stop displaying the reservation entry in the browsing interface or switch the reservation entry to displaying reservation information for a live event. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may stop displaying the reservation entry in the browsing interface by hiding the target container.

[0043] Figures 3C and 3D show schematic diagrams of browsing interfaces according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 3A and 3C, when a live event is an unset live event, the terminal device 110 can switch from displaying target container 301 to displaying target container 304 in response to receiving a selection for a reservation entry. Target container 304 displays the reservation information for the live event, "XXX people have reserved for the next live event."

[0044] As shown in Figures 3B and 3D, if the live event is a pre-configured live event, the terminal device 110 can switch from displaying target container 302 to displaying target container 306 in response to receiving a selection for the reservation entry. Target container 306 displays the reservation information for the live event, "XX / XX / XX XX:XX | XXX people have reserved".

[0045] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can display a reservation success notification message 303 in the work display area of ​​the viewing interface 300C, and / or display a reservation success notification message 305 in the work display area of ​​the viewing interface 300D. The notification messages 303 and / or 305 can be used to notify at least a second user that they have successfully reserved a live stream. In some embodiments, they can also be used to notify the second user of the number of viewers who have currently reserved a live stream.

[0046] Refer back to Figure 2. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also detect whether the current user corresponding to it is the first user (i.e., the broadcaster performing the live stream). For example, the terminal device 110 can determine whether the current user is the first user by detecting whether the account name to which the current user is logged in in application 120 matches the username of the first user displayed in the work. Alternatively, the terminal device 110 can determine whether the current user is the first user by detecting whether the work was published by the current user. The terminal device 110 can determine whether the current user is the first user using any suitable method, and this disclosure does not limit such methods.

[0047] If the terminal device 110 determines that the current user is not the first user, it can determine that the current user is not the broadcaster and that the current user is a viewer watching the live stream (i.e., the second user). Only if the current user is the second user can the terminal device 110 send reminder information about the live event to the second user at the time associated with the live event, in response to the second user's selection for a reservation entry.

[0048] In some embodiments, if the live event is a scheduled live event, the terminal device 110 can determine the start time of the live event. The terminal device 110 can send reminder information about the live event to a second user at the start time, or at a certain time (e.g., 5 minutes) after the start time. Such reminder information may be, for example, "The live stream by streamer XX that you previously booked will start soon" or "The live stream by streamer XX that you previously booked has already started."

[0049] In some embodiments, if a live event is a live event that has not yet been set up, the terminal device 110 may, in response to the first user completing the setting up of the next live event, send first reminder information to the second user indicating that the first user has set up the next live event. Such first reminder information may be information such as "The live stream by streamer XX that you previously booked will start at XX / XX / XX / XX." Furthermore, when the live start time arrives, or at a certain time (e.g., 5 minutes) after the live start time, the terminal device 110 may send second reminder information regarding the live event to the second user. Here, the second reminder information is the same information as the reminder information for the set live event. The second reminder information may be "The live stream by streamer XX that you previously booked will start shortly" or "The live stream by streamer XX that you previously booked has started."

[0050] The specific figures and details within the interface described in the above example scenes are illustrative and do not limit this disclosure.

[0051] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure can support automatically determining whether a work posted by a broadcaster (i.e., a first user) is relevant to a live streaming scene, and if so, automatically displaying a scheduled entry related to the broadcaster's live stream. This scheduled entry can send live stream reminder information to a viewer (i.e., a second user) in response to receiving a selection operation from the viewer. In this way, the promotional effect of the broadcaster's live stream can be enhanced, the viewer's viewing rate of the live stream can be increased, and the interactive experience between the broadcaster and the viewer during the live stream can be improved.

[0052] Decision on the live streaming scene The above describes user interactions and different content displayed by the terminal device 110 with reference to Figures 2 to 3D. Below, with reference to Figure 4, we will describe how to determine whether the work is relevant to the live streaming scene. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can directly analyze the work to determine whether it is relevant to the live streaming scene. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also upload the work to the server 130 for analysis. The server 130 can then send the result of its determination of whether the work is relevant to the live streaming scene to the terminal device 110, allowing the terminal device 110 to determine whether the work is relevant to the live streaming scene. For ease of explanation, the electronic device that analyzes the work and determines whether it is relevant to the live streaming scene will be referred to as the target device. The target device can include any suitable electronic device, such as the terminal device 110, server 130, and / or combinations thereof, as described in Figure 1.

[0053] Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of a process 400 for determining whether a work in some embodiments of the present disclosure is associated with a live streaming scene. Process 400 can be implemented on a target device.

[0054] In some embodiments, after the target device acquires piece 401, it may acquire the first user's recent live stream records. Here, the business system is the business system associated with application 120, and the live stream records of the business system include records of all live streams within application 120.

[0055] In block 410, the target device can determine, based on search results in the business system, whether there are any past live events related to the first user within a predetermined time period. Past live events refer to live events that last longer than the predetermined time period. The predetermined time period can be any length, for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. The predetermined time period can be, for example, a pre-set length. Alternatively, the predetermined time period can be, for example, a time period determined independently by the target device based on past live events in the business system. By searching only for past live events whose live streaming duration exceeds the predetermined time period, the target device can filter out live events caused by reasons such as user error. For example, the target device can search only for past live events related to the first user whose live streaming duration exceeds 30 minutes.

[0056] The scheduled period can be any period, such as one month, a quarter, or 15 days. The scheduled period may also be a pre-set period. Furthermore, the scheduled period is a period independently determined by the target device based on past live events in the business system. For example, the target device 110 may only check whether there have been any past live events related to the first user within the last month.

[0057] If it is confirmed that no past live streaming events exist, in block 412, the target device determines that the work is not related to the live streaming scene. If it is confirmed that past live streaming events exist, in response to the existence of past live streaming events related to the first user within a given time period, the target device can further determine whether the work is related to the live streaming scene based on the work's information. In some embodiments, the work information may include descriptive information corresponding to attributes such as the work's title, tags, classification, and source.

[0058] In some embodiments, the target device can check whether the work is a live stream playback (either a full live stream playback or a partial playback of live stream content). The business system posting information may include, for example, relevant information for each work. This relevant information can indicate the source of the work. In other words, the target device can determine the content source of the work by querying the work ID in the business system posting information.

[0059] In some embodiments, the target device can determine whether a work is being played live by directly comparing its content with past live-streamed content. For example, if the work is a video, the target device can obtain multiple video frames from the work and multiple video frames from past live-streamed content, and then determine that the work is being played live in response to the fact that multiple video frames from the work are included in the multiple video frames from past live-streamed content.

[0060] In block 420, the target device determines whether the content source of the work is past live content of the first user. Specifically, based on the determination result of whether the work is live playback, the target device can determine whether the content source is past live content of the first user. In block 422, in response to the content source being past live content of the first user, the target device can determine that the work is associated with a live streaming scene.

[0061] In response to the content source not being past live content from the first user, the target device can determine in other ways whether the work is related to the live streaming scene.

[0062] In some embodiments, the target device may also determine that the work is associated with a live streaming scene based on the work's content information. The work's content information corresponds to the work's content, such as text content, audio content, and / or image content.

[0063] In some embodiments, the target device can directly acquire descriptive text of a work (e.g., text content in the work description, work title, etc.) as text content related to the work. In some embodiments, the target device can determine text content related to a work by analyzing the image content and / or audio content of the work. Specifically, the target device can extract text content related to a work from the image content and / or audio content of the work using appropriate text processing techniques. The target device can obtain a matching result by matching the text content with pre-set keywords. For example, the target device can obtain a matching result by matching the acquired text content with pre-set keywords. Keywords here include, for example, keywords related to live streaming, such as "live streaming room," "live streaming," and "live streaming announcement." The target device can acquire and store this set of keywords in advance. This set of keywords is stored in the target device in the form of a keyword table, for example.

[0064] In block 430, the target device can determine whether the text content matches the preset keywords based on the query results between the text content and the preset keywords. In block 432, in response to the text content matching the preset keywords, the target device can determine that the work is associated with a live streaming scene.

[0065] In response to the text content not matching preset keywords, the target device can determine in other ways whether the work is relevant to the live streaming scene. For example, the target device can retrieve the first descriptive information of a live event set up by a first user. A "set up live event" can include future live events added by the first user, where the time, theme, etc., of the live event have already been set by the first user. The first descriptive information here may include, for example, the start time of the set up live event, the theme of the set up live event (e.g., live commerce, dance, game, chat, etc.), and the members who will be streaming the set up live event. Such first descriptive information is also called a live tag. The target device can check the live tag of a set up live event, for example. The target device can also retrieve the second descriptive information of a work. The second descriptive information may include, for example, the text description of the work and text content extracted from the work in any appropriate way. The second descriptive information is also called a work tag. Based on a pre-configured mapping relationship, the target device can determine whether the work tag and the live tag match.

[0066] In block 440, the target device can determine whether the second description information matches the first description information based on the matching results of the work tag and the live tag. In block 442, in response to the first description information matching the second description information, the target device can determine that the work is associated with the live streaming scene.

[0067] In response to a mismatch between the first and second descriptive information, the target device can determine in other ways whether the work is relevant to the live streaming scene. For example, the target device can retrieve past content related to a first user's past live streaming events. Past content may include images and / or videos displayed in the live streaming room during past live streaming events. The target device can, for example, switch the past content between multiple segments. The target device can further determine multiple similarities between the multiple segments and the work's content. Specifically, the target device can generate multiple first vector representations (also called live streaming room features) corresponding to the multiple segments based on the segment content of the multiple segments. The target device can also generate second feature representations (also called work features) corresponding to the work's content based on the work's images, title, text content, etc. The target device can determine multiple similarities between the multiple segments and the work's content based on the multiple first vector representations and the second feature representations of the work's content.

[0068] In block 450, the target device can determine whether the content of the work and the live content are similar based on a comparison of the similarity between past content and the content of the work and a threshold. In block 452, in response to the similarity between past content and the content of the work being greater than the threshold, the target device determines that the content of the work and the live content are similar, and further determines that the work and the live streaming scene are related.

[0069] In response to the similarity between past content and the content of the work reaching a threshold, the target device can determine by other means whether the work is associated with the live streaming scene. The target device can also determine whether the same target is included in the work based on past image content associated with a first user's past live streaming events. In some embodiments, the target device can determine whether the content of the work is associated with the live streaming scene in an order different from that shown in Figure 4. For example, the target device can perform checks on multiple conditions (e.g., different conditions discussed in blocks 420, 430, 440, and / or 450) in parallel, and if any of the conditions are met, it determines that the content of the work is associated with the live streaming scene. In other words, the execution of blocks 420, 430, 440, and / or 450 in Figure 4 does not have to depend on the specific preprocessing flow shown in Figure 4.

[0070] In this way, the target device can determine the relevance between the work and the live streaming scene using multiple rounds and diverse dimension-based determination methods.
