[0023] For example, in response to receiving a user's active request, a prompt message is sent to the user to clearly remind the user that the operation requested to be performed will require obtaining and using the user's personal information, so that the user can independently choose whether to provide personal information to the electronic device, application, server or storage medium and other software or hardware that performs the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure based on the prompt message.

[0024] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to receiving a user's active request, a prompt message may be sent to the user, for example, in the form of a pop-up window, in which the prompt message may be presented in text form. Furthermore, the pop-up window may also include a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0025] It is understandable that the above notification and the process of obtaining user authorization are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of the present disclosure. Other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of the present disclosure.

[0026] FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. In environment 100, one or more users 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, ..., 110-N can watch live broadcasts and participate in interactions in the live broadcast room through their respective associated terminal devices 120-1, 120-2, ..., 120-N. For ease of discussion, users 110-1, 110-2, ..., 110-N can be collectively or individually referred to as users 110, and terminal devices 120-1, 120-2, ..., 120-N can be collectively or individually referred to as terminal devices 120. Among all users 110, one or more users, such as user 110-1, can establish a live broadcast room and initiate a live broadcast through their associated terminal device 120-1. In some scenarios, user 110-1 is also referred to as the host, broadcaster, or manager of the live broadcast room. Other users 110 can also be referred to as viewers, listeners, viewers, or participants in the live broadcast room.

[0027] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 may be installed with an application that can provide a live broadcast service, or may be able to access a website that can provide a live broadcast service. The user 110 may operate the terminal device 120 to access the corresponding application or website. Accordingly, the terminal device 120 may present a corresponding live broadcast interface, which may, for example, provide live broadcast content of a live broadcast room, such as live audio content or live video content.

[0028] In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 can also communicate with the server 110 via the network 132 to provide the live broadcast service. The server 110 can provide management, configuration, and maintenance functions for applications or websites.

[0029] The terminal device 120 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, personal communication systems (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, television receivers, radio broadcast receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 120 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as "wearable" circuits, etc.). The server 110 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Typically, users of a live broadcast room (including anchors and viewers) can participate in interactive events within the live broadcast room, such as live broadcast activities, games, etc. between users. After an interactive event is initiated, the identification of users participating in the interactive event, such as user avatars, will be presented in the live broadcast room interface. In conventional interactive schemes, the avatars of users participating in interactive events are usually arranged in a static layout and fixed style. As the interactive event progresses, the ranking of interactive information of these users in the interactive event may be expressed by superimposing interface elements such as labels and values ​​on some user avatars. However, such a user identification display method cannot significantly distinguish the ranking of interactive information of different users in the interactive event, and the static display method is difficult to show sustained appeal, resulting in difficulty in sustaining audience attention to the interactive event.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an improved live broadcast room interaction solution is provided. According to this interaction method, multiple user identities are presented in a preset layout within the live broadcast room interface, and multiple users participate in interactive events within the live broadcast room. Based on the interaction information of the multiple users in the interactive events, the display mode of the multiple user identities in the layout is updated, wherein the identity of at least one of the multiple users is displayed more prominently than the identities of other users in the multiple users.

[0033] Such a live broadcast room interaction method can be implemented by an appropriate electronic device or a combination of electronic devices (for example, the server 130, the terminal device 120 in FIG. 1 , or a combination of one or more of these devices). For ease of description, the following uses the terminal device 120 as an example and refers to FIG. 1 to describe the live broadcast room interaction process.

[0034] Referring to the example environment of Figure 1, a live broadcast room may include multiple users 110. Interactive events can be initiated in the live broadcast room. In some embodiments, interactive events in the live broadcast room can be initiated by the anchor user of the live broadcast room, or the anchor user can participate in the interactive event based on the requirements of anchor users in other live broadcast rooms. The multiple users participating in the interactive event in the live broadcast room may include the anchor user of the live broadcast room, the audience user of the live broadcast room, and / or the anchor users of other live broadcast rooms, etc. In some embodiments, the multiple users participating in the interactive event may include the initiator of the interactive event and the recipient of the interactive event. For example, the multiple users participating in the interactive event may include the initiator of the microphone connection and the recipient of the microphone connection. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the types of users participating in the interactive events in the anchor room.

[0035] In some embodiments, interactive events within a live broadcast room can be any online activity permitted within the live broadcast room, such as singing, dancing, storytelling, chatting, games, and the like. Users participating in interactive events may, for example, be allowed to enable microphone or video permissions within the live broadcast room to share audio and / or video. In some embodiments, the host of the live broadcast room can configure interactive events within the live broadcast room, for example, configuring the type of interactive event, the number of users participating in the interactive event, the order of user interactions, interaction constraints, interaction duration, and the like.

[0036] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the display mode of user identifiers in the live studio interface can be dynamically changed based on the user's interactive information in the live studio interactive event to indicate the user's interactive status in the interactive event, so that the identifiers of certain users can be displayed more prominently. This dynamic display of user identifiers can solve the problem of single and uniform identifier display in live interactive events, promote the enthusiasm of users in the live studio to participate in interactive events, and enhance the user's interactive experience.

[0037] The dynamic display process of user IDs in interactive events in the live broadcast room will be introduced in detail below.

[0038] In the live broadcast room interface, the respective identifiers of multiple users (also referred to as "user identifiers") are presented according to a preset layout, and multiple users participate in interactive events in the live broadcast room. In some embodiments, in the initial stage of the interactive event, the display modes of the respective identifiers of multiple users in the layout are the same (consistent), for example, the display sizes of the user identifiers may be the same. As the interactive event progresses, the display modes of the respective identifiers of multiple users in the layout are updated based on the interactive information of multiple users in the interactive event. Based on the interactive information, the identifier of at least one user among the multiple users is displayed more prominently than the identifiers of other users among the multiple users. In some embodiments, the identifier of at least one user among the multiple users whose interactive information is ranked higher is displayed more prominently.

[0039] The following will describe example live broadcast room interactions of some embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with Figures 2A to 4. Such a live broadcast interface can be presented to the host user of the live broadcast room, the participating users of the interactive event and / or the audience users of the live broadcast room. It should be understood that the live broadcast room interfaces shown in Figures 3A to 4 are merely example interfaces. In practice, there can be various interface designs, and the various graphical elements in the interface can have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more elements can be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements can also be present. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect.

[0040] In some embodiments, the preset layout includes a ring-shaped layout. In the initial stage of the interactive event, the respective identifiers of multiple users are distributed in a ring. In some embodiments, the identifiers of the users in the ring have the same display mode. In some embodiments, the display mode can be distinguished based on the display position and / or display style of the user identifier. The display style refers to the appearance style of the user identifier, such as the display size of the user identifier, appearance attributes such as color, animation, etc. The identifier of the user that is more prominently displayed may be more likely to attract the user's attention in terms of the display position, and / or more attractive to the user in terms of the display style.

[0041] Figures 2A and 2B illustrate a general example of a user identification layout in a live studio interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2A illustrates an example 200 of the distribution of multiple user identifications on a ring-shaped layout, wherein nine user identifications 220 are evenly distributed in a ring-shaped layout. In some embodiments, in addition to the ring, the preset layout also includes a center of a circle surrounded by a ring, such as the center of circle 210 shown in Figure 2A. In the initial stage of an interactive event, the user identification may not be presented at the center of circle 210.

[0042] In some embodiments, the user identification displayed in the corresponding layout includes at least the user's avatar, although other user identifications may also be presented in addition or alternatively. In some embodiments, the user's avatar can be dynamically changed in display mode according to embodiments of the present disclosure, and can also display the user's name, interaction information obtained by the user in the interaction event, other user identifications, etc. together with the user's avatar.

[0043] In some embodiments, the ring includes a first predetermined number of positions for presenting identifiers. The first predetermined number of positions are evenly distributed on the ring. The first predetermined number can be any predefined number, or any configurable number, for example, configurable by the user who initiates the interactive event. If the number of users participating in the interactive event is less than the first predetermined number, the positions in the ring where no identifiers are presented during the interactive event are presented with preset identifiers. In some embodiments, if the preset layout also includes the center of a circle in the ring, the position of the center of the circle may be presented with a preset identifier in the initial stage of the interactive event. When the interactive event is initiated, all positions in the ring are presented with preset identifiers, and as users gradually join the interactive event, the preset identifiers of the corresponding positions are replaced by the identifiers of the users.

[0044] In some embodiments, in the initial stage of the interactive event and in the subsequent process, the user identification presented in the layout can also be displayed according to certain animation effects, such as slight up, down, left, and right movements at the corresponding position, so as to make the visual effect more attractive.

[0045] FIG3A shows an example live studio interface 300A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The live studio interface 300A includes a live content area 301 and a comment area 302. The identifiers of multiple users participating in the interactive event are presented in the live content area 301. In this example, it is assumed that there are 9 positions on the ring, and the identifiers of user A 310, user B 311, user C 312, user E 314, user H 317, and user I 318 can be presented on the ring layout, and the positions 313, 315, and 316 in the ring that do not yet have user identifiers are presented with preset identifiers. In addition, a preset identifier 320 is also presented at the center of the ring. As users continue to join the interactive event, as shown in the live studio interface 300B of FIG3B, users at all positions on the ring are presented with the corresponding user's identifier, and while the interactive event is in progress, another preset identifier 322 is presented at the center of the circle. Of course, if the total number of users participating in the interactive event is less than the number of positions divided on the ring, then the preset logo can always be presented at the remaining positions of the interactive event.

[0046] In some embodiments, in addition to dividing the ring into a fixed number of positions, the layout of the user identifiers on the ring can also be adjusted according to the number of users participating in the interactive event, so that the identifiers of the users participating in the interactive event can always be evenly distributed on the ring.

[0047] During an interactive event, corresponding interactive information can be collected for each user participating in the interactive event. Based on the interactive information of multiple users in the interactive event, the corresponding sorting levels of the multiple users are determined. In some embodiments, the interactive information can be determined based on the preset interactive operations (for example, like operations, comment operations, follow operations, share operations, virtual resource interactive operations, etc.) of the live broadcast room for multiple users during the interactive event. Virtual resources can be determined by the corresponding application platform. Such interactive information can be quantified in the form of a numerical value (called interactive information value) to facilitate the sorting of interactive information. The interactive information value can be determined, for example, based on the amount of interaction (the amount of likes or comments). For example, the greater the amount of interaction (the greater the amount of likes or comments), the greater the interactive information value. When dividing the sorting levels, a certain number of sorting levels can be pre-configured. If the first sorting level is higher than the second sorting level, it means that the interactive information value corresponding to the first sorting level is higher than the interactive information value corresponding to the second sorting level.

[0048] Based on interaction information of the multiple users in the interaction event, the display mode of the respective identifiers of the multiple users in the layout is updated, so that the identifier of at least one user among the multiple users is more prominently displayed than the identifiers of other users among the multiple users.

[0049] In some embodiments, the display mode of the user's identifier in the layout can be determined based on the interaction information of each user in the interaction event (e.g., interaction information value). For example, after the user's interaction information meets the preset conditions, the display mode of the user's identifier can be updated to a display mode corresponding to the preset conditions (e.g., display position and / or display size). For example, if a user's interaction information value reaches a first threshold, the user's identifier can be presented in a first display mode (e.g., a specific display position and / or display size). If a user's interaction information value reaches a second threshold, the user's identifier can be presented in a second display mode (e.g., a display position and / or display size different from the first display mode). In this way, the user's display mode can be dynamically updated depending on the user's interaction information in the interaction event.

[0050] In some embodiments, the display mode of the respective identifiers of the multiple users in the layout can be updated based on the ranking of the interaction information of the multiple users in the interaction event, so that the identifier of at least one of the multiple users is more prominently displayed than the identifiers of the other users. In order to highlight the identifiers of one or more users with a higher ranking, at least one of the display position and display style of the respective identifiers of the multiple users in the layout can be updated to distinguish the display size and / or display position of the identifiers of the one or more users with a higher ranking.

[0051] In some embodiments, the display size of the identifier of at least one user with a higher ranking is larger to highlight the identifier of the at least one user with a higher ranking. FIG2B shows an example 202 of a layout after updating the user identifiers based on interaction information. In the example of FIG2B , the identifiers 212 , 214 , and 216 of the top three ranked users are displayed larger than the identifier of the user with the fourth highest ranking.

[0052] In some embodiments, different ranking levels of interactive information may have corresponding display sizes. For users whose interactive information is at a certain ranking level, the user's identification may be displayed in the display size corresponding to the ranking level.

[0053] In some embodiments, the display size of the identifiers of the second predetermined number of users with the highest ranking is determined based on the ranking of the interaction information of the second predetermined number of users in the interaction event. The display sizes of the identifiers of the other users, except for the second predetermined number of users, are consistent and smaller than the display size of the identifiers of the second predetermined number of users with the highest ranking. In other words, the display size of the user identifiers may have a gradient of the second predetermined number plus one. The display sizes of the identifiers of the second predetermined number of users are differentiated by a gradient, while the display sizes of the identifiers of the remaining users are consistent within the same gradient. For example, in the example of FIG2B , the identifiers of the top three users with the highest ranking are determined based on the ranking of their respective interaction information, where the identifier 212 of the highest ranking has the largest display size, the identifier 214 of the second highest ranking has a smaller display size than the identifier 212 of the highest ranking, and the identifier 216 of the third highest ranking has a smaller display size than the identifier 214 of the second highest ranking. The display sizes of the identifiers 230 of the users in the fourth ranking are the same and are all smaller than the display size of the identifier 216 of the third highest ranking.

[0054] In the example of Figure 2B , the user's identification has display sizes of 4 sorting levels. Of course, in addition to the example of Figure 2B , display sizes of more or fewer sorting levels can also be set.

[0055] In some embodiments, after the ranking result is determined, the identifiers of the second predetermined number of users with the highest ranking levels may be enlarged to a display size corresponding to the ranking, while the display sizes of the identifiers of other users may remain unchanged (e.g., maintained at the same size as the initial stage). Of course, the display sizes of the user identifiers may also be scaled in other ways to distinguish them based on the display size.

[0056] In some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, based on the interaction information of multiple users in an interactive event, in addition to updating the display size of the user's identifier, the display position of the user's identifier can also be updated. Specifically, if the layout includes a ring-shaped and circle-centered layout, the identifier of at least one user with the highest interaction information ranking among the multiple users is presented at the center of the circle to centrally display the identifiers of these users. In addition, the identifiers of the other users among the multiple users, except for the at least one user with the highest ranking, are still distributed on the ring. For example, in Figure 2B, the identifier of the user with the highest ranking not only has the largest display size, but is also displayed at the center of the circle. In this way, the user with the highest interaction information ranking in the interactive event can be more prominently displayed. In some embodiments, the identifier of at least one user with the highest ranking can be moved from a position on the ring to a position at the center of the circle, and the identifiers of the other users on the ring can be reorganized to be evenly distributed on the ring. For example, on the ring, the distance between the centers of the identifiers of adjacent users can be equal, or the angles between the centers of the identifiers of adjacent users and the center of the ring can be equal.

[0057] Note that although the example in FIG2B only shows that the identifier of a single user is placed at the center of the circle, in other examples, the identifiers of two or more users with the highest ranking levels may also be placed together at the center of the circle, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0058] Figure 3C shows a live broadcast room interface 300C updated after sorting based on interactive information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Assuming that user A has the highest interactive information ranking level in the interactive event, user A's logo 310 moves from the ring to the center of the circle and is displayed in the center. In addition, user A's logo 310 can also be enlarged to more prominently display user A with the highest ranking level. In addition, the logos of users ranked second and below are still displayed on the ring, but the logo 311 of user B ranked second and the logo 312 of user C ranked third are both enlarged to the display size corresponding to their ranking level.

[0059] In some embodiments, in addition to highlighting the users with higher rankings in terms of display size and / or display position, corresponding additional visual elements are superimposed and displayed on the identifiers of at least one user among the multiple users.

[0060] When ranking based on interaction information, in some embodiments, corresponding additional visual elements may be superimposed and displayed on the identifier of at least one user with the highest ranking among multiple users, with each additional visual element indicating the ranking level. As shown in Figure 3B, visual element 330 is superimposed on identifier 310 of user A, visual element 332 is superimposed on identifier 311 of user B, and visual element 334 is superimposed on identifier 312 of user C. Visual elements 330, 332, and 334 respectively indicate the corresponding ranking level.

[0061] In some embodiments, alternatively or additionally, corresponding additional visual elements may be superimposed and displayed on the identifier of at least one user ranked lowest among the multiple users, with each additional visual element indicating the ranking level of the corresponding user. For example, in FIG3B , a visual element 335 is superimposed on the identifier 313 of user D ranked lowest to indicate the corresponding ranking level.

[0062] In some embodiments, in addition to distinguishing the ranking of users by their positions at the center of the circle and on the ring, for users located on the ring, the distance between the identifiers of the users on the ring and the position of the center of the circle can also be determined according to the ranking. As shown above, the identifier of at least one user with the highest ranking level can be presented at the center of the circle, and then the distance between the positions of the identifiers of other users among the multiple users except the at least one user with the highest ranking level on the ring and the position of the center of the circle can be determined based on the ranking of the interaction information of these users on the ring in the interaction event. In some embodiments, for users on the ring, the identifiers of users with higher ranking levels can be closer to the position of the center of the circle. In this way, different rankings can be distinguished by the distance from the center of the circle.

[0063] In order to more clearly show the difference in distance between the identifiers of users on the ring and the center of the circle, FIG4 is a schematic diagram of an example 400 of the layout of user identifiers in the live broadcast room interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In the example of FIG4 , the user identifiers have four gradient display sizes 401, 402, 403, and 404 according to the order of the user's interactive information in the interactive event. In addition, for users on the ring, the distance between their identifiers and the center of the circle is further divided into three gradients, corresponding to tracks 410, 411, and 412, respectively. Track 410 of the first gradient is closest to the center of the circle, track 411 of the second gradient is farther away from the center of the circle than track 410, and track 412 of the third gradient is farther away from the center of the circle than track 411. The identifiers of the users with the highest ranking among the users on the ring may be distributed on track 410 (e.g., the centers of the identifiers of these users are located on track 410), the identifiers of the users with the second highest ranking may be distributed on track 411 (e.g., the centers of the identifiers), and the identifiers of the users corresponding to the lowest ranking interaction information may be distributed on track 412 (e.g., the centers of the identifiers). In some embodiments, in the initial stage of the interaction event, the centers of the identifiers of all users may be located on track 412, and as the ranking is generated, the identifiers of users with higher rankings (e.g., the centers of the identifiers) gradually move to track 411 or 412. In addition, on the ring, the distance between the centers of the identifiers of adjacent users remains the same.

[0064] It should be understood that, in addition to the three gradient distances from the center of the circle shown in FIG4 , more or fewer distance gradients may be set according to actual application requirements.

[0065] In some embodiments, as an interaction event progresses, the interaction information of multiple users in the interaction event may change. For example, the interaction event may include multiple rounds of interaction, each of which generates a ranking result, or the ranking may be updated at predetermined intervals during the interaction event. As the ranking changes, the display mode of the multiple users in the layout will continue to update based on the changed ranking result, including updating the user's display style, display position, etc. based on the ranking as described in the embodiments discussed above.

[0066] As shown in Figure 3D, when the next interactive event begins, an indicator 340 appears in the live studio interface 300D. As shown in Figure 3E, as the interactive event continues, the interactive information of multiple users in the interactive event may change. At this point, User G's interactive information ranking is the highest, so User G's logo 317 has the largest display size and is displayed at the center of the circle. User E ranks second, so User E's logo 314 has the second largest display size and is displayed somewhere on the circle. User F ranks third, so User F's logo 315 has the third largest display size and is displayed somewhere on the circle. The remaining users' logos are also located on the circle, with the same display size but smaller than logo 315. Furthermore, the logos of User G, User E, and User F, the three users with the highest interactive information rankings, are superimposed with visual elements 350, 352, and 354, respectively. Furthermore, the logo 313 of User D, whose interactive information ranking is the lowest, is superimposed with a visual element 355, indicating their respective rankings.

[0067] In some embodiments, when updating a user's display mode, an animation effect can also be used to demonstrate the change in display mode. In some embodiments, assuming that the identifier of a first user among multiple users is presented at the center of a circle and the identifier of a second user among multiple users is presented at a position on a ring, if the second user among the multiple users is determined to be ranked before the first user based on the ranking, an animation effect can be presented on the live studio interface to indicate that the second user's identifier moves from its position on the ring to the center of the circle and replaces the first user's identifier. In some embodiments, due to its higher ranking, the second user's identifier not only changes its presentation position but also increases in size. In this case, the animation effect can also indicate that the second user's identifier is enlarged and moved to the center of the circle. In some embodiments, the animation effect also indicates that the first user's identifier is reduced in size and moved to another position on the ring. In one example, the animation effect can indicate that the identifier of the second user, currently ranked highest, is enlarged and moved, knocking away the identifier of the first user, which was originally at the center of the circle. The identifier of the first user, which was originally at the center of the circle, then becomes smaller and moves in the direction of the collision and is inserted between the two user identifiers on the ring. Subsequently, the identifiers of all users on the ring are reorganized to achieve an even distribution.

[0068] In the above embodiments, a ring-with-a-circle-center layout is used as an example to illustrate the embodiments of the present disclosure. In addition to the ring-with-a-circle-center layout, the identifiers of users participating in an interactive event can also be arranged in other geometric shapes, as long as the display mode of the user identifiers can be dynamically updated as the interactive event progresses, as described in the embodiments discussed above.

[0079] In some embodiments, the layout includes a ring-shaped and circle-center layout, wherein the identifier of at least one user with the highest ranking among the multiple users is presented at the center of the circle, and the identifiers of other users among the multiple users except the at least one user with the highest ranking are distributed on the ring.

[0080] In some embodiments, the distance between the positions of the identifiers of other users among the multiple users except the at least one user with the highest ranking on the ring and the position of the circle center is determined based on the ranking of the interaction information of the other users in the interaction event.

[0081] In some embodiments, the identifier of a first user among multiple users is presented at the center of the circle and the identifier of a second user among multiple users is presented at a position on the ring. Process 500 also includes: if it is determined that the second user among multiple users is to replace the first user and be presented at the center of the circle, an animation effect is presented on the live broadcast room interface, and the animation effect indicates that the identifier of the second user moves from the position on the ring to the center of the circle and replaces the identifier of the first user.
