[0027] As briefly mentioned above, applying special effects to live broadcasts can enhance the viewer experience, increase appeal and entertainment, and ultimately achieve better live results. However, the process for using special effects is relatively simple. For example, in some applications, the host clicks a special effect button in the interface, and the effect is directly applied to the live broadcast. As a result, the host cannot fully understand the actual effect before using it. Accidentally clicking an inappropriate special effect can also create content risks. Furthermore, viewers can observe the host's selection process, affecting the viewing experience of the live content.

[0028] To this end, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a solution for special effects processing. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a live broadcast interface is presented. The live broadcast interface presents at least a portion of the live broadcast screen associated with the live broadcast party. In response to the live broadcast party's selection of a target special effect, a preview screen is presented. The preview screen is generated by applying the target special effect to the live broadcast screen. When a first preset operation is received, the target special effect is applied to the live broadcast screen. In this way, a preview for the special effects can be provided during the live broadcast process, so that the live broadcast party can better decide whether to apply the selected special effects and avoid the occurrence of misoperation. In addition, by providing a live broadcast screen and a preview screen at the same time, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also enable the live broadcast party to obtain a preview of the special effects without affecting the live broadcast.

[0029] Example embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] FIG1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. In environment 100, a terminal device 110 has an application 120 installed. A user 140 can interact with application 120 via terminal device 110 and / or devices attached to terminal device 110. Application 120 can be a playback tool application, a social application, or any other appropriate application. Application 120 can provide live streaming services to users 140. These users 140 can include the broadcaster of a live broadcast room, viewers, and the like.

[0031] In the environment 100 of FIG1 , if the application 120 is active, the terminal device 110 may present an interface 150 of the application 120. The interface 150 may include various interfaces that the application 120 may provide, such as a live broadcast interface, a live broadcast management interface, and the like.

[0032] It should be understood that although the application 120 is shown as being included in the terminal device 110 in FIG. 1 , part of the processing capability of the application 120 may also be at least partially based on the server 130 , for example.

[0033] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable the supply of services to the application 120. The terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.). The server 130 can be various types of computing systems / servers that can provide computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, and the like.

[0034] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0035] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] 2A to 2C illustrate schematic diagrams of examples 200A to 200C of live broadcast interfaces according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Example interfaces 200A to 200C may be implemented at the terminal device 110. The example interfaces 200A to 200C are described below with reference to FIG1 .

[0037] In the example of FIG2A , the terminal device 110 presents an interface 200A (also referred to as a live broadcast interface). Interface 200A presents a live broadcast screen 210 associated with the live broadcast party (e.g., the anchor user). Interface 200A can present the entire live broadcast screen 210, or it can present only a portion of the live broadcast screen 210. In some embodiments, interface 200A can also present a special effects selection area 220. In this case, interface 200A presents the special effects selection area 220 and the portion of the live broadcast screen 210 not obscured by the special effects selection area 220.

[0038] In some embodiments, the special effect selection area 220 is used to present a set of special effects (also referred to as candidate special effects). Such a set of special effects may be arranged, for example, as icon-style interface elements, such as a plurality of interface elements 222 arranged in an array. Such special effects may include image filters, virtual scenes, beautification functions, animation effects, audio effects, and other appropriate effects. This disclosure is not intended to limit the specific form of special effects.

[0039] Additionally or alternatively, the special effect selection area 220 may provide one or more of a search function, a filter function, and a favorite function for a set of special effects. In some embodiments, the special effect selection area 220 includes a special effect area and a tag area. The special effect area, for example, displays interface elements 222 corresponding to the special effect. The tag area, for example, displays interface elements such as a search button, a favorites button, or a category tag. By clicking the search button or the category tag, you can search for related special effects. By clicking the favorites button, you can favorite related special effects.

[0040] In the example of FIG2B , terminal device 110 receives the live broadcaster's selection of a special effect and presents a preview of the special effect. Such a preview is generated by applying the selected special effect (also known as a target special effect) to the live broadcast. For example, terminal device 110 receives the live broadcaster's selection of interface element 222 and generates preview 230 accordingly.

[0041] During the live broadcast process, the terminal device 110 captures and generates a live broadcast picture 210 through a camera or other device. The live broadcast picture 210 may include a real-time video image.

[0042] In some embodiments, the preview screen 230 and the live broadcast screen 210 may correspond to versions with and without special effects of the same video source, and their timing may be aligned, for example. In some embodiments, the live broadcast screen 210 may include specific objects, such as a host object or a product object. Such a product object may be a product to be explained in the live broadcast room.

[0043] Accordingly, if a specific object performs a predetermined action (for example, the anchor object adjusts its posture or moves the position of the commodity object, etc.), such a predetermined action can be synchronously reflected in the live broadcast screen 210 and the preview screen 230.

[0044] The difference is that the preview screen 230 is visible only to the live broadcaster. On the contrary, the live broadcast screen 210 can be visible to users (e.g., viewers) in the live broadcast room.

[0045] In some examples, a targeted special effect can be applied to a specific object in the live broadcast screen 210. For example, a special effect corresponding to the live broadcast screen can be triggered by detecting the posture of the live broadcast object. Alternatively, a special effect corresponding to a product object in the screen can be added.

[0046] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the live broadcast party to obtain the preview screen of the special effects without affecting the acquisition of the live broadcast room information, the size of the generated preview screen 230 can be smaller than the live broadcast screen 210, for example.

[0047] In some embodiments, the preview screen 230 can also be superimposed on the live broadcast screen 210, so that the live broadcast party can obtain the preview screen 230 while also effectively obtaining the real-time dynamics of the live broadcast room.

[0048] For example, the preview screen 230 may be displayed in the center of the interface to occupy the visual focus.

[0049] In some embodiments, the preview screen 230 cannot be moved. For example, the preview screen 230 is fixedly presented in the center position on the live screen 210 and cannot be dragged.

[0050] In some embodiments, the target special effect has multiple screen effects corresponding to different conditions. The terminal device 110 applies one of these screen effects (also called the target screen effect) to the live screen, thereby generating a preview screen 230. Such a target special effect is also called a set special effect. Such conditions include, for example, body movements, sound effects, etc. If the terminal device 110 detects such a condition, it can switch the corresponding screen effect. In some embodiments, in order to save resources, the terminal device 110 can only present one of the screen effects, such as the first screen effect, in the preview screen 230.

[0051] As an example, the target special effect has three screen effects corresponding to three conditions: a first screen effect corresponding to raising a hand, a second screen effect corresponding to an OK gesture, and a third screen effect corresponding to a blinking motion. The terminal device 110 receives the live broadcaster's selection of the target special effect and applies only the first screen effect to the preview screen.

[0052] In some embodiments, the target special effect has multiple screen effects corresponding to different conditions. The terminal device 110 applies these multiple screen effects to the live screen in sequence according to a preset time period to generate a preview screen 230. In this way, the complete effect of the target special effect can be presented.

[0053] Continuing with the above example, the target special effect has three screen effects corresponding to the three conditions. The terminal device 110 receives the live broadcast party's selection of the target special effect and cyclically applies the first screen effect, the second screen effect, and the third screen effect in a preset time period (e.g., 3 seconds) in the preview screen.

[0054] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 presents the preview screen 230 after the target special effects are loaded. For example, some target special effects may require more computing resources for rendering and processing. If the preview screen is presented immediately during the processing, it may cause lag, delay, or reduce overall performance. In this way, performance and resource utilization can be optimized.

[0055] In some embodiments, the target special effect has multiple screen effects corresponding to different conditions. The terminal device 110 detects such conditions and applies the corresponding screen effects to the live screen to generate the preview screen 230. In this way, the effect when the target special effect is triggered can be restored.

[0056] Continuing with the above example, the target special effect has three screen effects corresponding to three conditions. Terminal device 110 receives the live broadcaster's selection of the target special effect and applies a static screen effect by default. If terminal device 110 detects an OK gesture, it switches to the second screen effect. If a mid-range or high-end terminal device 110 detects a blink, it switches to the third screen effect.

[0057] In some embodiments, the preview screen 230 is only visible to the live broadcaster, so as not to affect the live broadcast screen presented to the audience. In this way, the process of the live broadcaster selecting special effects can be avoided for the audience.

[0058] In some embodiments, the special effects previewed in preview screen 230 do not affect the special effects already applied to live screen 210. For example, referring to interface 200B, assume that the special effect currently applied to live screen 210 is the host wearing a Santa hat. Terminal device 110 receives the live streamer's selection of interface element 222 and presents preview screen 230 of the host wearing a crown. In this case, live screen 210 and preview screen 230 correspond to different special effects. This facilitates comparison of the visual effects corresponding to different special effects.

[0059] In some embodiments, some special effects may also include guidance information associated with guiding the presentation of special effects. For example, some special effects may require specific objects in the picture (e.g., human body) to make corresponding actions before the corresponding special effects can be triggered. Thus, corresponding guidance information can be presented to, for example, instruct the user to make corresponding actions. Traditionally, such guidance information needs to be presented in the preview screen to guide the user to trigger the corresponding special effects.

[0060] However, considering that the preview screen 230 has a relatively small size, the terminal device 110 may present guidance information associated with the selected target special effect outside the preview screen 230. For example, the terminal device 110 may present the corresponding guidance information at the bottom of the preview screen 230. Such guidance information may stop being presented, for example, upon detecting a special effect triggering action.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2C , the terminal device 110 may present guidance information 240 corresponding to the selected special effect in the special effect selection area 220. For example, the special effect selection area 220 may also include a guidance information display area 226. The terminal device 110 receives the live broadcaster's selection of a special effect and presents the guidance information 240 corresponding to the special effect in the guidance information display area 226. The guidance information display area 226 may be located at the top, side, or bottom of the special effect selection area 220, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0062] The interface related to the preview process of special effects is described above through multiple embodiments. The terminal device 110 can receive the live broadcast party's selection of a special effect and present the corresponding preview screen. The terminal device 110 can also apply the special effect to the live broadcast screen when receiving the live broadcast party's preset operation (also called the first preset operation). Such a first preset operation includes, for example, clicking a button, dragging the screen, long pressing, or gestures. For example, the terminal device 110 receives the live broadcast party's operation of long pressing and dragging the preview screen 230, and applies the special effect corresponding to the interface element 222 to the live broadcast screen 210.

[0063] In some embodiments, preview screen 230 also includes an interface element 232 for receiving a confirmation operation from the live broadcaster. For example, in the examples of Figures 2B and 2C, terminal device 110 presents interface element 232 as a button on preview screen 230. Upon receiving the live broadcaster's click of the button, terminal device 110 stops displaying preview screen 230 and applies the special effects corresponding to interface element 232 to live broadcast screen 210.

[0064] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may stop presenting the preview screen upon receiving a preset operation (also referred to as a second preset operation) from the live broadcaster. In other words, the live broadcaster may choose to abandon the selected special effect. Accordingly, such special effect will not be applied to the live broadcast screen 210.

[0065] In some embodiments, preview screen 230 includes an interface element 234 for receiving a second preset operation from the live streamer. For example, in the examples of Figures 2B and 2C, terminal device 110 presents interface element 234 as an icon in preview screen 230. Terminal device 110 receives a click on the icon from the live streamer and closes preview screen 230.

[0066] In some embodiments, the operation location of the second preset operation is outside the preview screen 230. For example, the terminal device 110 receives a click by the live broadcaster on a blank area in the special effect preview area 220 and exits the preview screen corresponding to the current special effect. For another example, the terminal device 110 receives a selection by the live broadcaster on an interface element 222 corresponding to another special effect and exits the preview screen corresponding to the current special effect and presents the preview screen corresponding to the other special effect.

[0067] As an example, referring to interface 200B, the terminal device 110 receives the live streamer's selection of interface element 222 and presents a preview image of the live streamer wearing a crown. Referring to interface 200C, the terminal device 110 receives the live streamer's selection of another interface element 222 and presents a preview image of the live streamer holding a rose.

[0068] The above describes the interaction process with special effects through multiple embodiments. When the terminal device 110 receives an interactive operation from the live broadcast party (such as an operation to confirm the application of special effects, an operation to close the operation, an operation to switch the operation, etc.), it presents the preview screen 230 and the live broadcast screen 210 in real time. That is, the process of applying or switching special effects will not affect the synchronization of the live broadcast screen.

[0069] In summary, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a preview of special effects can be provided during the live broadcast process, so that the live broadcaster can better decide whether to apply the selected special effects and avoid the occurrence of erroneous operations.
