[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Although several embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, the present disclosure is not realized only by the examples described herein but can be realized in various forms. These embodiments are provided to enable a thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. The accompanying drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0012] In describing embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "comprises" and similar terms are open-ended, meaning "including, but not limited to." The term "based on" means "based at least in part on." The terms "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" mean "at least one embodiment." The term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments." Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0013] As mentioned above, some live streaming rooms allow users to create audio or video sessions. Such live streaming rooms are also called chat rooms. For example, users can enter a live streaming room to participate in online audio games such as "murder mystery games" through voice chat, or interact with other participants in the live streaming room through video calls.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a conventional live streaming interface 100. As shown in FIG. 1, an electronic device (e.g., a mobile terminal) can display the live streaming interface 100, for example, to display information related to a live streaming room. As shown in FIG. 1, the live streaming interface 100 can display information of participants related to a session (e.g., an audio chat session) established in the live streaming room. A user can also apply to participate in a session through the live streaming interface 100.

[0015] However, after a user exits the live streaming room as needed, the live streaming interface 100 is directly closed. Such an interaction method may be inconvenient for the user. For example, while requesting a voice chat, the user may want to first jump to another interface to browse other content due to latency issues. However, when the user exits the live streaming interface, the user's voice chat request may be directly canceled. Furthermore, the user may want to continue following information about people participating in the live streaming room session while browsing another interface.

[0016] An embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a method for live streaming interface interaction. According to this aspect, an electronic device can receive a preset request for a live streaming interface that provides viewing content (e.g., real-time audio streams and / or real-time video streams) related to a target session established in a live streaming room in real time.

[0017] Further, in response to the request, the electronic device may display a target interface corresponding to the preset request and may display a window associated with the live broadcast interface superimposed on the target interface, the window displaying at least descriptive information associated with at least one participant of the target session.

[0018] Based on this method, the embodiment of the present disclosure can make the window smaller so that the user can continue to follow the established session in the live streaming room while browsing other interfaces, thereby improving the efficiency of the user to obtain information about the live streaming room.

[0019] Various example embodiments are described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] [Exemplary Live Streaming Interface] 2 illustrates a diagram 200 displaying an exemplary live streaming interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, an electronic device 210 can provide a live streaming interface 220.

[0021] Illustratively, the electronic device 210 may be, for example, a smart terminal (e.g., a smartphone). While the electronic device 210 in FIG. 2 is illustrated as a smartphone, it may be any other suitable device, including, but not limited to, a tablet, a laptop, a desktop, a personal digital assistant, a smart wearable device, an in-vehicle device, etc.

[0022] Furthermore, the live broadcasting interface 220 may be provided, for example, by a live streaming application loaded on the electronic device 210 or other application capable of providing live streaming services (hereinafter referred to as a live streaming application). Such a live streaming application may provide live streaming content to users in a live streaming room, which may include a caster, participants in an audio or video session of the live streaming room (e.g., voice chat users), people requesting voice chat in the live streaming room, general viewers of the live streaming room, etc.

[0023] 2, the live streaming interface 220 may include information of at least one participant 240-1, 240-2, 240-3, and 240-4 (individually or collectively referred to as participants 240) of a session established in the live streaming room. Such participants 240 represent users of an audio or video session already connected with the live streaming room.

[0024] 2, the live streaming interface 220 may display a text identifier for the participant 240, such as the participant's 240 username, nickname, or virtual character name (e.g., the name of a character in a murder mystery game). Additionally, the live streaming interface 220 may also display an image identifier for the participant 240, such as an icon or selected avatar for the participant 240.

[0025] Additionally, the live streaming interface 220 may further include, for example, one or more connect controllers 250. A viewer of the live streaming room may click on the connect controller 250 to submit a request to join a session of the live streaming room.

[0026] In some embodiments, the number of participants in a live streaming room session may be limited. For example, referring to FIG. 2, up to nine users may simultaneously participate in a session. Alternatively, the number of participants in a live streaming room session may not be limited, for example.

[0027] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, participants in a live streaming room may be assigned corresponding sequence numbers, e.g., "User A" may correspond to sequence number "1" and "User B" may correspond to sequence number "2." A participant who joins the session by clicking the connect controller 250 corresponding to sequence number "4" will be assigned sequence number "4," for example.

[0028] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 may further provide the live streaming interface 220 with at least one request controller 230-1 and 230-2 (individually or collectively referred to as request controllers 230), unlike conventional live streaming interfaces.

[0029] For example, a user can generate a request to display the live streaming interface 220 in a window by clicking on the request controller 230-1, and can further display the live streaming room in a window format as described below.

[0030] Alternatively, the user can click the request controller 230-2 to generate a request to log out of the live streaming interface 220. After logging out of the live streaming interface 220, the user can view the live streaming room in a windowed manner, which will be introduced below.

[0031] In some embodiments, when a user requests to log out of the live streaming interface 220, the electronic device 210 may provide a reminder as to whether to display the live streaming interface 220 in a windowed format. After receiving a user acknowledgement of the reminder, the electronic device 210 may continue to display the live streaming interface 220 in a windowed format.

[0032] Alternatively, whether the live streaming interface 220 continues to display in a windowed format after logging out can be determined based on a user preference. For example, a user can configure the live streaming application to always display the live streaming interface in a windowed format after logging out, or the user can configure the operating system of the electronic device 210 to allow the live streaming interface to be displayed in a windowed format.

[0033] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 automatically, or upon user preference or user confirmation, continues to display the live streaming interface in a window after logging out only if the user has signed up to join the session and is not currently connected to the session. On the other hand, if the user clicks on the request controller 230-1, the live streaming interface continues to display in a window after logging out, regardless of whether the user has signed up to join the session.

[0034] In some embodiments, the user can also generate a request to jump to a target interface by an appropriate operation. For example, the user can trigger a request to return to a previous interface by clicking the "back" controller. Alternatively, the user can trigger a jump to a recommendation screen of the live streaming application by sliding the live broadcast interface 220.

[0035] As another example, the user may jump to an operating system desktop interface or the interface of another application, for example, by a system gesture supported by the electronic device 210 .

[0036] In some embodiments, windowed display of the live broadcast interface 220 may be supported only within the live streaming application, for example, or may be supported in any suitable interface of the electronic device 210, including, but not limited to, an operating system desktop, an interface of another application, etc.

[0037] An example of a windowed display of a live streaming interface will be described in detail below.

[0038] [Example windowed display of a live streaming interface] In some embodiments, after receiving a preset request for the live streaming interface 220, the electronic device 210 displays a target interface corresponding to the preset request and displays a window associated with the live streaming interface superimposed on the target interface. Such a window may display, for example, descriptive information associated with at least one participant of the target session.

[0039] An exemplary windowed display of live streaming interface 220 will now be described with reference to FIGS. 3A-3D.

[0040] [Example 1] 3A illustrates a schematic diagram 300A displaying a window associated with a live streaming interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3A, after receiving a preset request for the live streaming interface 220, the electronic device 210 can display a target interface 310 as shown in FIG. 3A.

[0041] In some embodiments, such a target interface 310 may be provided by, for example, a live streaming application, or may be generated by the operating system or other application of the electronic device 210.

[0042] 3A, the electronic device 210 may display a window 320-1 associated with the live streaming interface 220 superimposed on the target interface 310. Such a window 320-1 may also be referred to as a floating window.

[0043] In some embodiments, window 320-1 may have, for example, a fixed size or shape. Alternatively, the size or shape of window 320-1 may change dynamically, for example, in response to user actions. Additionally, the position of window 320-1 may change in response to user actions. For example, a user may drag window 320-1 to any suitable display position.

[0044] 3A, the window 320-1 may display an image identifier 330 of at least one participant of the target session in the live streaming room. Such image identifier 330 may include, for example, an icon or selected avatar of the at least one participant.

[0045] 3A, window 320-1 may show, for example, image identifiers of all four participants 240. In some embodiments, the layout of the image identifiers of the multiple participants 240 in window 320-1 may be determined based on, for example, the order in which the multiple participants 240 joined the target session. For example, the icons of participants who join the session earlier may be placed in front of the icons of participants who join the session later.

[0046] Alternatively, the layout of the image identifiers of the multiple participants 240 in window 320-1 can be determined based on, for example, sequence numbers assigned to the multiple participants 240 in the target session. For example, as described above, participant 240-1 can be assigned the number "1," participant 240-2 can be assigned the number "2," participant 240-3 can be assigned the number "3," and participant 240-4 can be assigned the number "5." Correspondingly, the layout of the icons of the multiple participants 240 in window 320-1 can be arranged, for example, according to the order of the sequence numbers.

[0047] [Example 2] 3B illustrates a schematic diagram 300B displaying a window associated with a live streaming interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3B, after receiving a preset request for the live streaming interface 220, the electronic device 210 can display a target interface 310 as shown in FIG. 3B.

[0048] In some embodiments, such a target interface 310 may be provided by, for example, a live streaming application, or may be generated by the operating system or other application of the electronic device 210.

[0049] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3B, the electronic device 210 can display a window 320-2 associated with the live streaming interface 220 superimposed on the target interface 310. Similar to the window 320-1 shown in FIG. 3A, the window 320-2 may have, for example, a fixed size or shape. Alternatively, the size or shape of the window 320-2 can be dynamically changed, for example, in response to a user operation. Furthermore, the position of the window 320-2 can be changed in response to a user operation. For example, the user can drag the window 320-2 to any appropriate display position.

[0050] 3B, the window 320-2 may display a text identifier 340 of at least one participant of the target session in the live streaming room. Such text identifier 340 may include, for example, an icon, nickname, or avatar name of the at least one participant.

[0051] 3B, window 320-2 may show, for example, the text identifiers of all four participants 240. Similarly, the layout of such text identifiers may be determined based on the order in which the participants 240 joined the target session. Furthermore, the layout may be determined based on sequence numbers assigned to the participants 240 in the target session.

[0052] [Example 3] 3C illustrates a schematic diagram 300C displaying a window associated with a live streaming interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3C, after receiving a preset request for the live streaming interface 220, the electronic device 210 can display a target interface 310 as shown in FIG. 3C.

[0053] In some embodiments, such a target interface 310 may be provided by, for example, a live streaming application, or may be generated by the operating system or other application of the electronic device 210.

[0054] 3C, the electronic device 210 may display a window 320-3 associated with the live streaming interface 220 superimposed on the target interface 310. Similar to the above-described windows 320-1 and 320-2, the window 320-3 may have, for example, a fixed size or shape. Alternatively, the size or shape of the window 320-3 may be dynamically changed, for example, in response to a user operation. Furthermore, the position of the window 320-3 may be changed in response to a user operation. For example, the user may drag the window 320-3 to any appropriate display position.

[0055] 3C, in addition to displaying a text identifier of at least one participant of the target session in the live streaming room, the electronic device 210 can also display dynamic graphics 350 corresponding to the audio stream from the participant in window 320-3. Such dynamic graphics 350 can include, for example, an audio waveform corresponding to the audio content of each participant 240.

[0056] In some embodiments, electronic device 210 may display only dynamic graphics 350 corresponding to participant 240 in window 320-3, without a text or image identifier for participant 240. Alternatively, electronic device 210 may display dynamic graphics 350 in combination with a text and / or image identifier in window 320-3.

[0057] In some embodiments, if a particular participant 240 is not currently outputting audio content, the electronic device 210 may, for example, display a corresponding blank area in window 320-3. Alternatively, if a particular participant 240's microphone is currently off, the electronic device 210 may, for example, display a graphical element corresponding to "microphone off" in a corresponding area in window 320-3.

[0058] [Example 4] 3D illustrates a schematic diagram 300C displaying a window associated with a live streaming interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3D, after receiving a preset request for the live streaming interface 220, the electronic device 210 can display a target interface 310 as shown in FIG. 3D.

[0059] In some embodiments, such a target interface 310 may be provided by, for example, a live streaming application, or may be generated by the operating system or other application of the electronic device 210.

[0060] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3D , the electronic device 210 can display a window 320-4 associated with the live streaming interface 220 superimposed on the target interface 310. Similar to the above-described windows 320-1, 320-2, and 320-3, the window 320-4 may have, for example, a fixed size or shape. Alternatively, the size or shape of the window 320-4 can be dynamically changed, for example, in response to a user operation. Furthermore, the position of the window 320-4 can be changed in response to a user operation. For example, the user can drag the window 320-4 to any appropriate display position.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3D, the electronic device 210 can also display a video stream 360 from the corresponding participant in window 320-4.

[0062] In some embodiments, electronic device 210 may display only video stream 360 corresponding to participant 240 in window 320-4, without a text or image identifier for participant 240. Alternatively, electronic device 210 may display video stream 360 in combination with a text and / or image identifier in window 320-4.

[0063] In some embodiments, if a particular participant 240 is not currently outputting video content, the electronic device 210 may, for example, display a corresponding graphical element in window 320-4. For example, if a particular participant 240's camera is currently off, the electronic device 210 may, for example, display a graphical element corresponding to "camera off" in a corresponding area in window 320-4.

[0064] Based on the above-mentioned method, the embodiments of the present disclosure can facilitate users to continue following a target session in a live streaming room even when they jump to other interfaces, thereby improving the efficiency of users acquiring content.

[0065] [Example changes to windowed displays] In some embodiments, electronic device 210 can dynamically update content displayed in windows such as those described above (e.g., windows 320-1, 320-2, 320-3, and 320-4). For ease of explanation, the following describes updating content displayed in a window using window 320-1 as an example. Such an update mechanism is equally applicable to the other windows described above or other specific window examples consistent with the scope of this disclosure.

[0066] 4A illustrates an example window 400A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 4A, when a particular participant 240 is outputting audio, the electronic device 210 may, for example, highlight descriptive information 410 (e.g., an image identifier) ​​of the participant 240 in the window 400A.

[0067] Illustratively, such highlighting may include, for example, highlighting a participant's icon so that the user can perceive which participant is currently outputting audio. In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 may also dynamically highlight the participant's icon according to the audio output rhythm.

[0068] 4B illustrates an example window 400B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 4B, the window 400B may, for example, display descriptive information for up to a certain number of participants. When the electronic device 210 determines that a threshold number (e.g., four participants) has been exceeded due to an increase in the number of participants in the target session in the live streaming room, the electronic device 210 may display only descriptive information for a predetermined number (e.g., three participants) of all participants. Conversely, when the threshold number has not been exceeded, the electronic device 210 may display only descriptive information for all participants.

[0069] 4B, the electronic device 210 may also display a reminder element 420 in the window 400B to indicate that the current window 400B does not display descriptive information about all participants. Alternatively, such a reminder element 420 may indicate, for example, the number of participants in the live streaming room.

[0070] 4C illustrates an example window 400C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4C, when the electronic device 210 determines that a particular participant of a target session in a live streaming room has left the target session, the electronic device 210 may remove the descriptive information of the participant from the window 400C and display only the descriptive information 430 of participants who are still participating in the target session.

[0071] Based on this method, the electronic device 210 can update a window related to the live streaming room in response to a change in participant information in the target session to indicate the change in participant information. This allows a user to intuitively know, for example, which participants are newly joining the target session or which participants have left the target session. In addition, the user can know, for example, the enthusiasm for participating in the target session in the live streaming room.

[0072] Although FIGS. 4A-4C illustrate an exemplary change mechanism for a window in combination with an image identifier, such a change mechanism is equally applicable to the other types of descriptive information discussed above.

[0073] [Window control mechanism] In some embodiments, electronic device 210 can support interaction of the windows described above (eg, windows 320-1 through 320-4 and windows 400A through 400B).

[0074] Illustratively, in response to a preset operation of the window, the electronic device 210 can display a live streaming interface and log out the window accordingly. For example, the user can click, double-click, or slide the window in an appropriate manner so that the electronic device 210 jumps to and displays the corresponding live streaming interface 220, and the window can be stopped from being displayed.

[0075] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 can also control the priority of audio playback of a window relative to the displayed target interface. Illustratively, the electronic device 210 can, for example, always set the playback priority of audio content in a window lower than that of the target interface. In this case, if the target content itself outputs audio content, the electronic device 210 may not output audio content of the live streaming room.

[0076] In yet another embodiment, the electronic device 210 can dynamically control the playback priority of the audio content in the window based on the user's character in the live streaming room. Illustratively, if the current user is a viewer of the live streaming room or an applicant who has applied to participate in the target session, the electronic device 210 can set the playback priority of the audio content in the window lower than that of the target interface.

[0077] As another example, if the current user is a participant in a live streaming room, the electronic device 210 can set the playback priority of the audio content in the window higher than that of the target interface, so that the electronic device 210 always prioritizes the playback of the audio content of the live streaming room.

[0078] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure provide more flexible control over the presentation of audio / video content in a window.

[0079] [Providing connection information] In some embodiments, if the current user is the applicant who applied to join the target session of the live streaming room, the electronic device 210 may also utilize a window to display information about the connect application.

[0080] 5A illustrates an exemplary window 500A according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5A, the electronic device 210 may also display, for example, application information 510 in the window 500A. Such application information 510 may be used to indicate an application status associated with an application to join the target session, such as, for example, indicating the number of users (e.g., "5") waiting to join the target session ahead of the current user.

[0081] As another example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the electronic device 210 may display the sign-up information 520 in a window 500B to indicate the expected wait time (e.g., “Expected 3 minutes”) for the current user to join the target session.

[0082] Furthermore, when it is determined that the user is allowed to join the target session in the live streaming room, the electronic device may also display a reminder in a window that the user is allowed to join the target session. For example, as shown in FIG. 5C , the electronic device 210 may display a reminder 530 to indicate that the user is allowed to connect to the target session.

[0083] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 may jump to the live streaming interface, i.e., display the live streaming interface and close the window, after a predetermined time period after determining that the user is allowed to join the target session. In some embodiments, the current user may be automatically added as a participant of the target session in the live streaming room, and the user's audio and / or video devices may be automatically turned on.

[0084] Alternatively, if the window currently displays a reminder that allows the user to connect to the target session, the electronic device 210 may jump to the live streaming interface in response to the user's selection of the reminder. Correspondingly, the current user may be automatically added as a participant of the target session in the live streaming room, and the user's audio and / or video devices may be automatically turned on.
