[0010] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings. While the drawings show several embodiments of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure.

[0011] It should be understood that the steps described in the embodiments of the method of this disclosure may be performed in a different order and / or in parallel. Furthermore, embodiments of the method may include additional steps and / or omit the performance of the indicated steps.

[0012] As used herein, the term “including” and its variations are open inclusions, i.e., “including, but not limited to.” The term “based on” means “based at least partially.” The term “one embodiment” means “at least one embodiment,” the term “another embodiment” means “at least one other embodiment,” and the term “several embodiments” means “at least several embodiments.” Relevant definitions of other terms are given in the following description.

[0013] It should be noted that the concepts of “first,” “second,” etc., as used in this disclosure are used solely to distinguish between different devices, modules, or units, and are not intended to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules, or units.

[0015] The names of messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are used for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of such messages or information.

[0016] To ensure understanding, before using any of the technical proposals disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, the user should be informed in an appropriate manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, of the type of personal information related to this disclosure, the scope of use, and the usage scenarios, and the user's permission should be obtained.

[0017] For example, when responding to receiving a user's spontaneous request, the present invention sends presentation information to the user, and clearly presents to the user that it is necessary to obtain and use the user's personal information for the operation requested to be executed by the user. Thereby, the user can autonomously select whether to provide personal information to software or hardware such as electronic devices, application programs, servers or storage media that execute the operations of the technical solution of the present disclosure based on the presentation information.

The presentation information may be presented in the pop-up window in text form. In addition, the pop-up window may be provided with a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0019] It can be understood that the above notification and user permission acquisition process is only schematic, and does not limit the implementation manners of the present disclosure, and other manners that meet relevant laws and regulations may also be used in the implementation manners of the present disclosure. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a media content sharing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be executed by a media content sharing apparatus. Here, the apparatus may be implemented by software and / or hardware, and may be configured in an electronic device. For example, the apparatus may be configured in a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The media content sharing method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to quickly sharing a scenario of currently watched media content. As shown in FIG. 1, the media content sharing method according to the present embodiment may include the following steps.

[0020] In S101, target media content is displayed on a media content display page.

[0021] In this embodiment, target media content may be displayed within a media content display page.

[0022] The media content display page may be a page for displaying media content, such as a video playback page. The target media content may be the media content currently displayed on the media content display page. The media content may include, for example, video content and / or graphic content. The graphic content may be media content composed of at least one image. When displaying graphic content, the image currently displayed in the media content page by the graphic content may be automatically switched according to a preset switching rule, and / or switched based on a user's image switching operation.

[0023] In S102, in response to a user display operation for a target to be shared, user identifiers of at least one user to be shared are displayed in a preset area of the media content display page. Here, the background screen of the preset area is related to the target media content.

[0024] The user display operation for target sharing may be a share user display operation that instructs the system to display a user marker for the user to share with the target media content, using a screen related to the target media content as the background screen. For example, this may be a pre-set gesture operation that acts within the media content display page, or a long-press or rapid-fire operation that acts on the share control of the target media content. Media content may have one or more associated screens, and the screens associated with different media content may be different. For example, target media content may have one associated screen, for example, the background screen of a pre-set area may be determined based on the cover of the target media content, or based on a video frame / image in the target media content. Alternatively, target media content may have only multiple associated screens, and accordingly, the background screen of the pre-set area may be a screen related to the currently displayed screen of the target media content (i.e., the screen on which the target media content is currently displayed within the media content display page) and / or the screen on which the target media content is currently displayed within the pre-set area.

[0025] The pre-configured area may be an area for displaying user markers for users to share with, using a screen related to the target media content as the background screen. This pre-configured area may be related to or unrelated to the trigger position of the user display operation for target sharing. In other words, if the trigger position of the user display operation for target sharing is different, this pre-configured area may be the same or different.

[0026] For example, the user marker for the user to be shared may be displayed in a single pre-defined area (for example, a single area whose distance from the share control of the target media content is within a pre-defined area range), without considering the trigger position of the user display operation to be targeted for sharing. Alternatively, by considering the trigger position of the user operation to be targeted for sharing and displaying the user marker for the user to be shared in a single area associated with this trigger position, the distance the user needs to move their finger / stylus to switch from performing the user display operation to performing the share operation is reduced, enabling rapid sharing of media content. Selectively, the distance between the pre-defined area and the share control of the target media content is within a pre-defined distance range. The area associated with each trigger position may be set as needed. For example, it may be an area that includes or does not include the relevant trigger position, for example, a single area whose distance from the relevant trigger position is within a pre-defined distance range. The distance from the share control / trigger position being within a pre-defined distance range may be set as needed, for example, by the distance between the center point of the pre-defined area or the boundary point closest to the share control / trigger position on the boundary of the pre-defined area and the share control / trigger position being within a pre-defined distance range.

[0027] The users to whom the content should be shared may be users to whom the target media content is shared by the current user. These may be related users of the current user, such as the current user's friends and / or users that the current user follows. The user identifier of the users to whom the content should be shared may be an identifier of the users to whom the content should be shared, such as the user avatar and / or user nickname.

[0028] When an operation to display users who should be targeted for sharing is received, the screen related to the target media content may be adopted as the background screen, and at least one user marker for the user who should be targeted for sharing may be displayed in a pre-configured area on the media content display page. For example, a number of user markers for users who should be targeted for sharing (e.g., four) may be displayed in this pre-configured area. Hereinafter, the method for determining which users to display the user marker for sharing in the pre-configured area is not limited, and for example, the users to display the user marker for sharing in the pre-configured area may be determined according to the level of intimacy between each user and the current user, the number of interactions, and / or the number of media content shares.

[0029] For example, if the user display operation for target sharing is a long-press operation that acts on the share control 20 of the target media content, when it is detected that the current user long-presses the share control 20 of the target media content, a screen related to the media content may be adopted as the background screen (not shown), and as shown in Figures 2 and 3, a user marker for at least one user to share with may be displayed in a pre-set area 21 that is on one side of the share control 20 and within a pre-set distance range from the share control 20.

[0030] In S103, in response to a share operation for the target media content, the target media content is shared with the target user to whom the share operation is performed, corresponding to the user indicator on which the share operation is performed.

[0031] A share operation may be a trigger operation to instruct the sharing of target media content, such as a click or slide operation that acts on a user indicator displayed in a pre-defined area. The target user to share with may be the user corresponding to the user indicator on which the share operation acts. The user indicator on which the share operation acts may include a user indicator that acts when the share operation trigger ends, such as a user indicator that is displayed at the trigger position when the share operation trigger ends.

[0032] When a share operation is received for target media content, the system can determine the user identifier on which the share operation will be performed and the target user to whom the content should be shared, and then share the target media content with that target user.

[0033] In this embodiment, after sharing the target media content with the target user, the display of the user indicator for the user to be shared in the pre-defined area may be maintained until a trigger operation is received to instruct the system to stop displaying the user indicator for the user to be shared in the pre-defined area. To facilitate the user viewing the media content screen where the target media content is located within the pre-defined area, the display of the user indicator for the user to be shared in the pre-defined area may be stopped directly. In this case, selectively sharing the target media content with the target user corresponding to the user indicator on which the share operation acts includes, at the end of the share operation trigger, sharing the target media content with the target user corresponding to the user indicator on which the share operation acts, and canceling the display of the user indicator for at least one user to be shared and the background screen. For example, when the share operation trigger ends, the target media content may be shared with the target user, the display of the user indicator for the user to be shared in the pre-defined area may be stopped, and the background screen displayed within the pre-defined area may be switched to the media content screen (e.g., the screen to be processed) where the target media content is located within this pre-defined area.

[0034] In this embodiment, in addition to the user display operation for target sharing, the user may instruct the current application program to display a user indicator for at least one user to share with via other user display operations. For example, the user may instruct the current application program to display a user indicator for at least one user to share with via a share panel display operation. This share panel display operation may include, for example, a click operation that acts on the share controls of the target media content and / or a long press operation that acts within the non-control display area of ​​the media content display page. Thereafter, when the current application program detects that the current user has performed a share panel display operation, it may respond to this share panel display operation by displaying the share panel for the target media content on the media content display page, and displaying a user indicator for at least one user to share with and at least one interaction control on this share panel. At this time, the current user may share the target media content via this share panel.

[0035] It should be noted that the operation to display the share panel and the operation to display the target user to share with may be different trigger operations. Displaying the user identifier of the user to share with in the form of a share panel and displaying the user identifier of the user to share with in a pre-configured area may be different user identifier display methods. For example, the display area of ​​the share panel may not be related to the trigger position of this share panel display operation and / or the share control of the target media content. For example, the share panel may be displayed in the bottom area of ​​the media content display page, but the pre-configured area may be associated with the trigger position of the operation to display the target user to share with and / or the share control of the target media content. And / or, the background color of the share panel may be a pre-configured background color not associated with the target media content, such as white, but the background screen of the pre-configured area may be a screen related to the target media content. And / or, in addition to displaying the user identifier of the user to share with, the share panel may also display at least one interaction control, such as a feedback control / notification control, a double-speed playback control and / or an application program control for sharing the target media content with friends in the relevant application program, corresponding to a different application program. In the pre-configured area, only the user identifier of the user who should be sharing may be displayed.

[0036] The media content sharing method according to this embodiment involves displaying the target media content on the media content display page, and in response to a user display operation for the target to share with, displaying a user indicator for at least one user to share with in a pre-set area on the media content display page. Here, the background screen of this pre-set area is related to the target media content, and in response to a share operation for the target media content, the target media content is shared with the target user to share with, corresponding to the user indicator on which this share operation acts. This embodiment adopts the above technical proposal and, by employing a background screen related to the media content and displaying a user indicator for the user to share with in a pre-set area, enriches the display method of user indicators, further enriches the media content sharing method, and can satisfy the sharing needs of users. Figure 4 is a flowchart of another media content sharing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The scheme in this embodiment may be combined with one or more selective schemes from the above embodiments. Selectively, the media content sharing method according to this embodiment further includes, in response to a user display operation to target share, employing a pre-set screen processing method to process the screen to be processed within the pre-set area, obtaining a target screen, and displaying the target screen as the background screen of the pre-set area.

[0037] Selectively sharing the target media content with users who should be targeted for sharing, corresponding to user indicators on which the sharing operation acts, in response to a share operation on the target media content, includes at least one of the following: sharing the target media content with users who should be targeted for sharing, corresponding to user indicators slid at the end of the trigger of the slideshare operation, in response to a slideshare operation on the target media content; and sharing the target share content with users who should be targeted for sharing, corresponding to user indicators clicked by the clickshare operation, in response to a clickshare operation on the target media content.

[0038] As shown in Figure 4, the method for sharing media content according to this embodiment may include the following steps.

[0039] In S201, the target media content is displayed on the media content display page.

[0040] In S202, in response to a user display operation to target share, a pre-configured screen processing method is adopted to process the screen to be processed within the pre-configured area, a target screen is obtained, the target screen is displayed as the background screen of the pre-configured area of ​​the media content display page, a user indicator for at least one user to share is displayed in the pre-configured area, and S203 or S204 is executed.

[0041] The screen to be processed may be a screen located within a predefined area in the video frame / image of the target media content, for example, a screen located within a predefined area in the video frame / image currently displayed on the media content display page where the target media content is currently displayed. The predefined image processing method may be any predefined image processing method, and this embodiment is not limited to this predefined image processing method. Selectively, this predefined image processing method may be Gaussian blur processing. Provided that user indicators can be clearly displayed, the user can roughly understand the screen content located within the predefined area in the video frame / image currently displayed on the media content display page where the target media content is currently displayed, via the background screen of the predefined area, thereby avoiding a situation where the current user cannot understand the screen content located within the predefined area where the target media content is currently displayed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the background screen of the pre-defined area may be a screen related to the screen located within the pre-defined area in the video frame / image currently displayed on the media content display page where the target media content is located.

[0043] For example, after a video frame / image from the target media content is displayed on the media content display page, a pre-configured image processing method may be used to process the screen to be processed where the video frame / image is located within a pre-configured area, obtain a target screen, and replace the screen to be processed in the video frame / image with this target screen. Alternatively, the screen to be processed in the video frame / image may be pre-processed before the video frame / image from the target media content is displayed on the media content display page. For example, before the video frame / image from the target media content is displayed on the media content display page, a pre-configured image processing method may be used to process the screen to be processed where the video frame / image is located within a pre-configured area when it is displayed, obtain a target screen, and replace the screen to be processed in the video frame / image with this target screen.

[0044] To make it easier to understand, after determining the target screen, it is not necessary to replace the screen to be processed in the corresponding video frame / image with this target screen. For example, when a single video frame / image is displayed on a media content display page, the target screen determined based on the screen to be processed in this video frame / image may be displayed directly above the screen to be processed in this video frame / image, and the user marker of the user to be shared may be displayed above this target screen, or set as needed.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the screen to be processed located within a pre-defined area on the media content display page changes, for example, when the video frame / image displayed on the media content display page changes, the background screen of the pre-defined area may be updated to the target screen corresponding to the changed screen to be processed. At this time, it further includes selectively displaying a user marker for at least one user to be shared in the pre-defined area of ​​the media content display page, and then, when the screen to be processed within the pre-defined area changes, updating the background screen of the pre-defined area according to the changed screen to be processed.

[0046] In S203, in response to a SlideShare operation on the target media content, the target media content is shared with the target user corresponding to the user indicator that was slid at the end of the trigger for the SlideShare operation.

[0047] A slide share operation may be a trigger operation that shares target media content in a slide manner, for example, a slide operation where the position where the slide ends is located at a user indicator displayed in a pre-set area.

[0048] In this embodiment, user indicators displayed within a pre-defined area can support users in sharing target media content using a slide format.

[0049] When a user's slideshare operation is received, for example, when it is detected that the touch point is located at the display position of a user indicator in a pre-defined area when the current user slide ends, the target media content can be shared with the user who should share it, corresponding to the user indicator located at the end of the user slide.

[0050] In this embodiment, the slideshare operation may include slide operations that are triggered again after the trigger for the user display operation to be targeted for sharing has finished, for example, slide operations that are performed after the execution of the user display operation to be targeted for sharing has been completed (i.e., after the touchpoint has disappeared).

[0051] In this embodiment, the slideshare operation may include a slide operation performed by switching the user display operation to be targeted for sharing when the trigger for the user display operation to be targeted for sharing has not finished (for example, the touch point for the user display operation to be targeted for sharing has not disappeared). This reduces the difficulty of the user operation and avoids the occurrence of accidental sharing. As an example, if the user display operation to be targeted for sharing is a long-press operation that acts on the share control of the target media content, the current user may instruct the current application program to display a user marker for at least one user to be shared in a predetermined area by long-pressing, and then continue to press and slide (i.e., without lifting the finger / stylus) to the user marker of the user to whom the target media content is to be shared. In this way, the current application program, after detecting that the current user has long-pressed the share control of the target media content and started sliding, determines whether a user marker is displayed at the position where the current user's slide ended, and if a user marker is displayed, the target media content can be shared to the target user corresponding to this user marker. At this time, selectively, the slideshare operation is performed by switching the user display operation to be targeted for sharing. Here, a continuous trigger state is maintained when switching from the user display operation to be targeted for sharing to the slideshare operation.

[0052] In this embodiment, when a user slides to the display position of one user sign, the user may or may not adjust the display size of the user sign they are currently sliding to.Optionally, to facilitate the user determining which user sign they are currently sliding to, the display size of the user sign they are currently sliding to may be displayed. After the user adjusts the display size of the user sign they are sliding to, the area size of the preset area may be adjusted according to the adjusted display size of the user signs in order to ensure that the preset area can fully display the multiple user signs and that the pitch between the multiple user signs does not become too large or too small.Optionally, the media content sharing method according to this embodiment may further include, in the trigger process of the slideshare operation, using different display sizes to display the user sign that the slideshare operation is currently sliding to and the user sign that the slideshare operation is not currently sliding to, and adjusting the area size of the preset area according to the display sizes of the user sign that the slideshare operation is currently sliding to and the user sign that the slideshare operation is not currently sliding to.

[0053] As shown in Figure 2, taking the example of increasing the display size of the user indicator that the user is currently sliding to, when the user has not slid to the display position of any user indicator, the initial display size may be adopted and multiple user indicators may be displayed in the pre-set area 21. As shown in Figure 5, when the user slides to the display position of one user indicator, the display size of the user indicator that the user is currently sliding to may be increased from the initial display size to the target display size, other user indicators other than the user indicator that the user is currently sliding to may be displayed using the initial size, and after increasing the display size of this indicator, the area size of the pre-set area 21 may be determined according to the display sizes of the multiple user indicators in the pre-set area 21, and the pre-set area 21 may be displayed using this determined area size.

[0054] When increasing the display size of a user indicator that a user is currently sliding from its initial display size to its target display size, for example, the user indicator may be enlarged from its initial display size to its target display size around its center point, or it may be enlarged from its initial display size to its target display size around one of its centerlines (e.g., a vertical centerline or a horizontal centerline) and one of its boundaries, and so on, as needed.

[0055] When determining the size of a preset region 21 according to the display sizes of multiple user signs, for example, the pitch of adjacent boundaries between adjacent user signs (i.e., boundaries that are close together) may be kept constant, and the size of the preset region 21 may be determined according to the display sizes of multiple user signs and the pitch of adjacent boundaries between adjacent user signs. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 5, after determining the size of the preset region 21, the display size of the preset region 21 may be adjusted by keeping the center point of the preset region 21, one boundary of the preset region 21, or a point on the boundary of the preset region 21 (for example, the intersection point of the vertical center line or horizontal center line of the preset region 21 with its boundary) constant. For example, when a pre-defined area 21 is located to the left of the share control of the target media content, and multiple user indicators are arranged horizontally within the pre-defined area 21, the right boundary of the pre-defined area 21 may be kept constant, and the horizontal pitch between the rightmost boundary point of the leftmost user indicator in an adjacent user indicator pair and the leftmost boundary point of the rightmost user indicator may be kept constant, thereby increasing the width of the pre-defined area 21 to the left.

[0056] Furthermore, if the user nickname of the user to be shared is not displayed in the pre-configured area 21 (as shown in Figure 2), that is, if the user indicator displayed in the pre-configured area 21 does not include the user nickname of the user to be shared, when the user slides to the display position of one user indicator, the user nickname corresponding to the user indicator the user is currently sliding to may be added and displayed. For example, as shown in Figure 5, the user nickname corresponding to this user indicator may be displayed at the associated position of this user indicator. If the user nickname of the user to be shared is displayed in the pre-configured area 21 (as shown in Figure 3), that is, if the user indicator displayed in the pre-configured area 21 includes the user nickname of the user to be shared, when the user slides to the display position of one user indicator, the user nickname included in this user indicator may continue to be displayed.

[0057] In S204, in response to a click-share operation on the target media content, the target share content is shared with the user who should be the target share recipient, corresponding to the user indicator clicked by the click-share operation.

[0058] A click share operation may be a trigger operation that shares target media content using a click method, such as a click operation that acts on a single user indicator displayed in a pre-defined area.

[0059] In this embodiment, the user indicator displayed within a predefined area may support the user sharing target media content via a click-based method.

[0060] When a user click share operation is received, for example, when it is detected that the current user clicks on a user icon displayed in a predefined area, the target media content may be shared with the user who should share it, corresponding to this user icon.

[0061] To ensure understanding, after sharing target media content with users who should be targeted for sharing, for example, after successfully sharing the target media content, information may be displayed on the media content display page to inform the user that the target media content has been successfully shared. This information may be stopped, for example, when the current user requests a stop display operation, and / or when the display duration of this information reaches a predetermined duration (e.g., 1 second).

[0062] The media content sharing method according to this embodiment dynamically updates the background screen of a pre-set area, supports users in sharing target media content using different trigger methods, enriches the display method of user indicators and media content sharing methods, and can meet the diverse needs of users. Figure 6 is a structural block diagram of a media content sharing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This device may be implemented by software and / or hardware, or it may be configured in an electronic device. For example, it may be configured in a mobile phone or a tablet PC, and by performing a media content sharing method, the currently displayed media content scenario can be quickly shared. As shown in Figure 6, the media content sharing device according to this embodiment may include a content display module 601, an indicator display module 602, and a content sharing module 603. Here, the content display module 601 is configured to display target media content on a media content display page. The indicator display module 602 is configured to display a user indicator for at least one user to share with in a pre-configured area of ​​the media content display page in response to a user display operation to target share. Here, the background screen of the pre-configured area is related to the target media content. The content sharing module 603 is configured to share the target media content with the target user corresponding to the user indicator on which the share operation acts, in response to a share operation for the target media content.

[0063] The media content sharing device according to this embodiment displays target media content on a media content display page using a content display module. In response to a user display operation for target sharing, a user indicator module displays a user indicator for at least one user to share with in a pre-configured area on the media content display page.
