[0020] It will be understood that the above notification and user permission acquisition process is only schematic, and does not limit the implementation forms of the present disclosure, and other forms that meet relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation forms of the present disclosure.

[0021] Figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for adding media content to favorites according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be performed by a media content favorites addition device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware and may be located in an electronic device, typically a mobile phone or tablet computer. The method for adding media content to favorites according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to scenarios in which media content is to be added to favorites. As shown in Figure 1, the method for adding media content to favorites according to this embodiment may include the following:

[0022] S101: In response to a favorite operation on media content, the media content is added to the current user's media content favorites list, the current user's favorites folder list is displayed, and the favorites folder list is for displaying the first identifiers of at least some of the current user's favorites folders.

[0023] Here, the favorite operation may be a trigger operation that instructs the user to add media content to their favorites, and it may or may not act on the favorite control corresponding to the media content. When it acts on the favorite control corresponding to the media content, the favorite operation may be, for example, a long press, click, or drag operation on the favorite control corresponding to the media content. Below, we will explain using the example that the favorite operation is a long press operation acting on the favorite control.

[0024] The above media content may be understood as media content that corresponds to the favorites operation, that is, media content that has been instructed to be added to favorites by the above favorites operation. For example, when the current user is viewing a certain media content, they can perform the favorites operation on that media content, and at this time, the media content that corresponds to the favorites operation is the media content currently displayed on the media content display page. The current user may be understood as the user who is currently performing the favorites operation.

[0025] The media content favorites list may be a list for displaying media content added to favorites by the current user, provided by the current application program. In some embodiments, the media content favorites list may be used to display at least some of the media content added to favorites by the current user, and such at least some of the media content may include media content located in each of the current user's favorites folders and / or media content added to favorites by the current user that is not located in any favorites folder. The favorites folder list may be a list of at least some of the current user's favorites folders. Favorites folders in the favorites folder list can be created by the current user or provided by the current application program. Hereinafter, the case where favorites folders in the favorites folder list are created by the current user will be described as an example.

[0026] While both the Media Content Favorites List and Favorites Folders are used to display media content added to favorites by the current user, they differ in their nature. Media content located in the Media Content Favorites List may simultaneously reside in one or more Favorites Folders. For example, the current user can add one or more media contents from the Media Content Favorites List to one or more Favorites Folders through a predetermined trigger operation. Media content located in the Media Content Favorites List does not necessarily have to reside in any Favorites Folder.

[0027] The first identifier of a favorite folder may be the identifier of the favorite folder displayed in the favorite folder list. This identifier may be used to identify the corresponding favorite folder. The first identifier may be, for example, the icon and / or name of the favorite folder.

[0028] For example, when a favorite operation is received for a certain media content, and a long press operation is detected on the favorite control 20 corresponding to that media content, the media content can be added to the current user's media content favorites list, thereby realizing the addition of the media content to favorites. Furthermore, the current user's favorite folder list 21 is displayed, and the first identifiers of at least some of the current user's favorite folders are displayed in the favorite folder list 21, making it easier for the current user to add the media content to the corresponding favorite folder by triggering the first identifier, for example, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

[0029] As shown in Figures 2 and 3 (for example, in the figures, the first identifier is an icon and the third identifier is a name), when the first identifier of a favorite folder is displayed in the favorite folder list 21, the third identifier of that favorite folder may also be displayed. Here, the third identifier may be displayed in a position related to the first identifier, and this related position may be located outside the favorite folder list 21 (as shown in Figure 2) or inside the favorite folder list 21 (as shown in Figure 3), and may be set as needed.

[0030] In this embodiment, the favorites folder list is used not only to display a first identifier for at least some of the current user's favorite folders, but also to display interaction controls related to favorite folders, such as a first control to trigger the display of the favorites folder panel and / or a second control to trigger the display of the favorites folder creation panel. Optionally, the favorites folder list displays at least one of a first control to trigger the execution of a first panel display operation and a second control to trigger the execution of a second panel display operation. Here, the first panel display operation may be a trigger operation to instruct the display of the favorites folder panel, and the second panel display operation may be a trigger operation to instruct the display of the favorites folder creation panel.

[0031] This embodiment does not restrict the display method of the first and second controls. For example, the first and second controls may be displayed simultaneously in the favorites folder list, or only the first or second control may be displayed in the favorites folder list at the same time.

[0032] When displaying only the first or second control, it is possible to pre-set whether to display the first control or the second control in the favorites folder list, or to determine whether to display the first or second control in the favorites folder list according to predetermined conditions, for example, if predetermined conditions are met, the first control is displayed in the favorites folder list, and predetermined conditions If the condition is not met, the second control will be displayed in the favorites folder list.

[0033] The above predetermined conditions may be set as needed, and in some embodiments, the predetermined conditions may be set so that the number of favorite folders of the current user is greater than or equal to a predetermined number. In this case, as an option, displaying the current user's favorite folder list includes at least one of the following: if the number of favorite folders of the current user is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, displaying the current user's favorite folder list and displaying a first control and a predetermined number of first identifiers for favorite folders in the favorite folder list; and if the number of favorite folders of the current user is less than a predetermined number, displaying the current user's favorite folder list and displaying a second control and a first identifier for each of the current user's favorite folders in the favorite folder list.

[0034] Here, the number of favorite folders may be understood as the total number of favorite folders the current user has for adding media content to their favorites. The given number may be set as needed, for example, it may be set to 2, 3, or 5.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the favorite folder list displays a number of favorite folders that does not exceed a predetermined number. If the user has many favorite folders (for example, more than the predetermined number), the first control is displayed in the favorite folder list to facilitate the user viewing favorite folders that are not displayed in the favorite folder list. If the user has few favorite folders (for example, less than the predetermined number), the second control is displayed in the favorite folder list to facilitate the user creating new favorite folders.

[0036] Taking the predetermined number as 3 as an example, if the current user's number of favorite folders is 3 (i.e., the predetermined number) or more, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, in response to the current user's favorites operation, media content can be added to favorites, the current user's favorites folder list 21 can be displayed, and the first identifiers 22 and first controls 23 of the three favorite folders can be displayed in the favorites folder list 21. If the current user's number of favorite folders is greater than 0 and less than 3, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 (taking the example that the current user has two favorite folders in the drawings), media content can be added to favorites, the current user's favorites folder list 21 can be displayed, and the first identifiers 22 and second controls 24 of each of the current user's favorite folders can be displayed in the favorites folder list 21. If the current user's number of favorite folders is 0, as shown in Figure 6, media content can be added to favorites, the current user's favorites folder list 21 can be displayed, and the second controls 24 can be displayed in the favorites folder list 21.

[0037] In this embodiment, the favorite folder list 21 may be displayed in a predetermined area, in the area associated with the media content favorite control 20 (or the trigger position for the favorite operation), for example, in the left area of ​​the media content favorite control 20 as shown in Figures 2 to 5. The display method of the items in the favorite folder list 21 (including the identifier and control of the favorite folder) is not limited, and for example, the items in the favorite folder list 21 may be arranged horizontally (as shown in Figures 2 and 4) or vertically (as shown in Figures 3 and 5).

[0038] In this embodiment, when the first identifier 22 of a favorite folder is displayed in the favorite folder list 21, the third identifier of the corresponding favorite folder may also be displayed. For example, the third identifier of the corresponding favorite folder may be displayed at the associated position of the first identifier 22. The specific position of this associated position is not limited. For example, as shown in Figures 2-5, if the first identifier 22 (e.g., icons) is arranged horizontally, the first identifier 22 may be displayed within the favorite folder list 21, and the third identifier (e.g., name) corresponding to the first identifier 22 may be displayed outside the favorite folder list 21, for example, above the corresponding first identifier 22. If the first identifier 22 is arranged vertically, the third identifier corresponding to the first identifier 22 may be displayed within the favorite folder list 21, for example, to the right of the corresponding first identifier 22.

[0039] In some embodiments, in the case of a horizontal arrangement, when the favorite folder list is displayed for the first time or when the user has not selected any favorite folders, the third identifiers corresponding to each first identifier in the favorite folder list can all be displayed as the first style. In this case, displaying the current user's favorite folder list includes displaying the current user's favorite folder list, displaying the first identifiers of at least some of the current user's favorite folders in a horizontal arrangement in the favorite folder list, and displaying the third identifier associated with the corresponding first identifier at the associated position of the first identifier, where the third identifier associated with the first identifier and the first identifier are identifiers of the same favorite folder, and the third identifier is displayed as the first style.

[0040] Here, the associated position of the first identifier may be considered as a position related to the display position of the first identifier, for example, a position around the display position of the first identifier.

[0041] For example, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, when displaying the current user's favorite folder list 21, the first identifiers 22 of at least some of the favorite folders can be displayed in a horizontal arrangement in the favorite folder list 21, and the third identifier of the corresponding favorite folder can be displayed in the first style at the associated position (e.g., above) of each first identifier 22. If a first control 23 and / or a second control 24 are displayed in the favorite folder, the first control 23 / second control 24 may also be arranged horizontally together with the first identifier, and in this case, the control name of the corresponding control may also be displayed at the associated position of the first control 23 / second control 24.

[0042] S102: In response to a trigger operation on the first identifier, the media content is added to the favorites folder corresponding to the first identifier on which the trigger operation was performed.

[0043] Here, the trigger operation for the first identifier may be a trigger operation that instructs the system to add media content to the favorites folder corresponding to the first identifier. The trigger operation may also be an operation that triggers a first identifier displayed in the favorites folder list, and may include a click trigger operation and / or a slide trigger operation. A click trigger operation may be an operation that clicks a first identifier displayed in the favorites folder list. A slide trigger operation may be an operation that slides over a first identifier displayed in the favorites folder list and then lifts the finger / stylus. The first identifier on which the above trigger operation acts may be considered as the first identifier on which the trigger operation acts when the trigger operation ends, for example, the first identifier displayed at the trigger position when the trigger operation ends.

[0044] Specifically, when a trigger operation is received for a first identifier displayed in the favorites folder list, for example, when it is detected that the current user clicks on a first identifier displayed in the favorites folder list, or slides to a first identifier displayed in the favorites folder list and then ends the trigger operation, the media content can be added to the favorites folder corresponding to the first identifier.

[0045] In this embodiment, when a favorite operation is received for media content, the media content can be added to the favorites, and at the same time, the user's current list of favorite folders can be displayed. This allows the user to add media content to favorites and display the list of favorite folders with a single trigger operation (i.e., a favorite operation), without having to perform one operation to add the media content to favorites and then another operation to instruct the current application to display the list of favorite folders, nor is it necessary to first select a favorite folder in order to add media content to favorites, thus enriching the method of adding media content to favorites.

[0046] In some embodiments, the trigger operation includes a slide trigger operation, which, after displaying the current user's favorites folder list, switches a third identifier associated with the first identifier that the slide trigger operation has currently slid to arrive at to a second style while the slide trigger operation is running, and cancels the display of third identifiers associated with the first identifier that the slide trigger operation has not currently slid to arrive at.

[0047] In the above embodiment, it is possible to support users adding media content to their favorites folders in a slide-based manner, and during the user's slide-through process, the identifiers of the currently reached favorites folder (e.g., a first identifier and / or a second identifier) ​​can be displayed in different styles.

[0048] Taking the third identifier as an example, when the favorites folder list 21 is initially displayed in response to a favorites operation, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the icons of at least some of the favorites folders can be displayed in the favorites folder list 21, the first control 23 / second control 24 can be displayed further, the name of the corresponding favorites folder can be displayed at the associated position of the first identifier 22, and the name of the corresponding control can be displayed at the associated position of the first control 23 / second control 24. At this time, both the name of the favorites folder and the name of the control may be displayed in the first style.

[0049] When a user slides to the first identifier of a favorites folder, as shown in Figure 7, the name of the favorites folder corresponding to the first identifier 22 currently reached is switched from the first style to the second style, and the display of the names of favorites folders corresponding to first identifiers 22 that have not yet been reached is canceled (for example, the user has now slid to the first identifier 22 of the second favorites folder from the right in the diagram). Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, the display style of the first identifier 22 currently reached can be switched, for example, by increasing the display size of the first identifier 22 currently reached.

[0050] To make it easier to understand, when you slide to a certain control's position in the favorites folder list, you can also switch the name of that control from the first style to the second style, and further switch the display style of that control.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first style and the second style may be different display styles. For example, the identifier content displayed in the first style may not be less than the identifier content displayed in the second style. In this case, optionally, the identifier content displayed in the second style for the third identifier may be greater than the identifier content displayed in the first style for the third identifier, or it may be the same as the identifier content displayed in the first style for the third identifier.

[0052] For example, if the identifier content of a third identifier is not fully displayed in the first style, when switching to the second style, the identifier content displayed for that third identifier may be greater than the identifier content displayed in the first style. Conversely, if the identifier content of a third identifier is already fully displayed in the first style, when switching to the second style, the identifier content displayed for that third identifier may be the same as the identifier content displayed in the first style, that is, all the content of the third identifier may be displayed.

[0053] Taking the third identifier as a name as an example, the first style can display up to n characters. For example, if the number of characters in the name is n or less, all characters in the name are displayed, such as the favorite folder names "Kitty" and "SF Movie" shown in Figures 2 and 4. If the number of characters in the name is greater than n, the first n-1 characters in the name are displayed, and the nth character is displayed as "..." to inform the user that the name is not fully displayed, such as the favorite folder name "Make..." shown in Figures 2 and 4. The second style can display up to m characters. For example, if the number of characters in the name is m or less, all characters in the name are displayed. If the number of characters in the name is greater than m, the first m-1 characters in the name are displayed, and the mth character is displayed as "..." to inform the user that the name is not fully displayed, such as the favorite folder name "Make Skills..." shown in Figure 7. Here, m and n are both positive integers, m > n, and the specific values ​​of m and n can be set as needed. In Figures 2 and 4, n = 3 is used as an example, and in Figure 7, m = 7 is used as an example.

[0054] In this embodiment, the user can also add the media content to their favorites by performing an operation different from the favorite operation described above. For example, upon receiving a first operation on the media content, the media content can be directly added to the media content favorites list without displaying the user's current favorites folder list, and / or, upon receiving a second operation on the media content, the user's current favorites folder list can be displayed without adding the media content to the media content favorites list. If it is detected that the user has triggered a first identifier for a favorite folder in the favorites folder list, the media content can be added to the favorites folder corresponding to the first identifier in response to the trigger operation, and the media content can also be added to the media content favorites list. Here, the first / second operation and the favorite operation described above may be different trigger operations.

[0055] Furthermore, upon receiving the trigger operation for the first identifier, in addition to adding the media content to the favorites folder corresponding to the first identifier on which the trigger operation was performed, the display of the current user's favorites folder list may be canceled, thereby allowing the user to view the media content.

[0056] The method for adding media content to favorites according to this embodiment adds the media content to the current user's media content favorites list in response to a favorite operation on the media content, displays the current user's favorites folder list, which displays a first identifier for at least some of the current user's favorites folders, and adds the media content to the favorites folder corresponding to the first identifier on which the trigger operation acted in response to a trigger operation on the first identifier. By adopting the above technical proposal, this embodiment can display the favorites folder list and add media content to the media content favorites list, thereby enriching the method for adding media content to favorites.

[0057] Figure 8 is a schematic flowchart of a method for adding another media content to favorites according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The technical proposal in this embodiment can be combined with at least one or more optional technical proposals in the above embodiment. Optionally, the invention further includes displaying a favorites folder panel to display a second identifier for at least some of the current user's favorite folders, after displaying the current user's favorites folder list, in response to a first panel display operation performed within the favorites folder list, wherein the second identifier is for triggering the addition of the media content to the corresponding favorites folder.

[0058] Optionally, the method for adding media content to favorites according to this embodiment further includes, in response to a second panel display operation performed within the favorites folder list or favorites folder panel, creating a new favorites folder and displaying a favorites folder creation panel for adding the media content to the new favorites folder.

[0059] Optionally, the system further includes, after displaying the current user's favorites folder list, canceling the display of the favorites folder list in response to a cancellation operation for the favorites folder list, and displaying predetermined prompt information to notify the user that the media content has been successfully added to their favorites.

[0060] Accordingly, as shown in Figure 8, the method for adding media content to favorites according to this embodiment may include the following:

[0061] S201: In response to a favorite operation on media content, the media content is added to the current user's media content favorites list, the current user's favorites folder list is displayed, and at least one of S202 to S205 is performed, the favorites folder list being for displaying the first identifiers of at least some of the current user's favorites folders.

[0062] S202: In response to a trigger operation on the first identifier, the media content is added to the favorites folder corresponding to the first identifier on which the trigger operation was performed.

[0063] S203: In response to a first panel display operation performed within the favorites folder list, a favorites folder panel is displayed to show a second identifier for at least some of the current user's favorites folders, the second identifier being used to trigger the addition of media content to the corresponding favorites folder.

[0064] Here, the first panel display operation may be a trigger operation to instruct the display of the Favorites Folders panel, for example, an operation that triggers a first control displayed in the Favorites Folders list. The Favorites Folders panel may be a panel for displaying the second identifiers of at least some of the current user's favorites folders, and these at least some of the favorites folders may include at least favorites folders corresponding to the first identifiers displayed in the Favorites Folders list. For example, it can be used in the Favorites Folders list to display the first identifiers of any number of favorites folders not exceeding a predetermined number, and in the Favorites Folders panel to display the second identifiers of all of the current user's favorites folders.

[0065] The second identifier for a favorite folder may be considered as the identifier of the favorite folder displayed in the favorite folders panel, and its style may be the same as or different from the style of the first / third identifier. For example, the second identifier may include the icon and / or name of the corresponding favorite folder. The number of second identifiers displayed in the favorite folders panel may be greater than or equal to the number of first identifiers displayed in the favorite folders list; in other words, the number of favorite folders for which the second identifier is displayed in the favorite folders panel may be greater than or equal to the number of favorite folders for which the first identifier is displayed in the favorite folders list. For example, the favorite folders list can be used to display the first identifiers of any number of favorite folders not exceeding a predetermined number, and the favorite folders panel can be used to display the second identifiers of all of the current user's favorite folders.

[0066] Furthermore, the fact that the Favorites Folders panel displays the secondary identifiers of all of the current user's favorite folders may be understood as allowing the user to view the secondary identifiers of each favorite folder they have created in the Favorites Folders panel, either directly or through certain operations (e.g., switching favorite folders). For example, if the number of favorite folders is small, the Favorites Folders panel can directly display the secondary identifiers of all of the current user's favorite folders. If the number of favorite folders is large, the Favorites Folders panel can switch and display the secondary identifiers of the current user's favorite folders based on the user's switching favorite folder operations. The display of the primary / secondary identifiers of all of the current user's favorite folders may be considered as being used to display the primary / secondary identifiers of all viewable favorite folders. For example, if a favorite folder of the current user contains illegal information, the primary / secondary identifier of that favorite folder does not need to be displayed.

[0067] For example, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first control 23 can be displayed in the favorites folder list 21. When it is detected that the current user has triggered the first control 23, it is determined that a first panel display operation has been received, and in response to the first panel display operation, the favorites folder panel 90 can be displayed, and the second identifiers of at least some of the current user's favorite folders can be displayed in the favorites folder panel 90, and the second control 24 can be further displayed as shown in Figure 9.

[0068] S204: In response to a second panel display operation performed within the favorite folder list or favorite folder panel, a favorite folder creation panel is displayed for creating a new favorite folder and adding the media content to the new favorite folder.

[0069] Here, the second panel display operation may be a trigger operation that instructs the display of the favorite folder creation panel, for example, an operation that triggers a second control displayed in the favorite folder list or the favorite folder panel. The favorite folder creation panel may be a panel in which the user creates a new favorite folder.
