[0020] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0021] It should be noted that the titles of any section / subsection provided herein are not limiting.

[0028] Various example implementations of this solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Sample Environment

[0030] FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in FIG1 , the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110 .

[0031] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports interface interaction. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application for interface interaction, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, video applications, social applications, or other suitable applications. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0032] In the environment 100 of FIG. 1 , if the application 120 is in an active state, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 150 for supporting interface interaction through the application 120 .

[0033] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable the provision of services for the application 120. The electronic 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 handheld computer, a portable game terminal, a VR / AR device, 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 electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0034] The server 130 may be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. For example, the server 130 may include a computing system / server such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like. The server 130 may provide background services for the application 120 that supports virtual scenes in the electronic device 110.

[0035] A communication connection may be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established in a wired or wireless manner. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

[0036] 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.

[0037] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Example Interaction

[0039] The following describes an example process for generating emojis according to embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with Figures 2A to 2D. Figures 2A to 2D illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200D according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 200A to 200D may be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0040] 2A , the interface 200A may be a conversation interface, which may provide, for example, an input field 205 . For example, the user may utilize the input field 205 to input text content, voice content, expression content, image content, etc. into the conversation.

[0041] As an example, the electronic device 110 may further present a panel (also referred to as an input control) at the bottom of the interface 200A, which may provide an entry 210 for generating an expression.

[0042] After receiving a selection for entry 210, electronic device 110 may present a set of candidate styles in the panel, for example, candidate style 215-1, candidate style 215-2, and candidate style 215-3 (individually or collectively referred to as candidate styles 215). In some embodiments, the set of candidate styles 215 may include one or more preset styles.

[0043] In some embodiments, such candidate styles 215 may correspond to different styles of expressions, for example, different picture styles (e.g., cartoon style, anthropomorphic style, etc.). As an example, the electronic device 110 may also present a corresponding preview image associated with each candidate style 215 to intuitively represent its corresponding style.

[0044] In some scenarios, such candidate styles 215 may also correspond to different expression themes. For example, style 1 may correspond to animation A, and style 2 may correspond to film and television work B.

[0045] For example, after receiving a selection of the candidate style 215-1 (also referred to as the first style 215-1), the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200B as shown in FIG2B . The interface 200B may also be referred to as an image acquisition interface or a shooting interface.

[0046] 2B , the electronic device 110 may provide a viewfinder in the interface 200B for capturing an image using a camera of the electronic device 110. As an example, the electronic device 110 may capture a target image 220 for expression generation through a camera.

[0047] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further provide, for example, instruction information in the viewfinder to guide the user to capture the target image 220 corresponding to the preset part. For example, the electronic device 110 may display a viewfinder area represented by a dotted line in the viewfinder, where the viewfinder area may have a shape corresponding to the preset part (e.g., face, hand, etc.), to guide the user to capture an image corresponding to the preset part (e.g., facial image, hand image, etc.).

[0048] In some embodiments, such indication information may be determined based on the selected first style 215 - 1 . As an example, different styles may correspond to different framing guidance information, for example, to guide the user to photograph different preset parts.

[0049] In some embodiments, when the content currently viewed by the user does not match the instruction information, the electronic device 110 may further provide text information to guide the user to capture the target image 220 corresponding to the preset part.

[0050] Furthermore, upon receiving a trigger for the capture control 225, the electronic device 110 may capture the corresponding target image 220 for use in generating the expression resource. As an example, the electronic device 110 may also capture using different cameras of the electronic device 110 based on a trigger for the switch control 235.

[0051] As shown in FIG2B , electronic device 110 may further provide an upload control 230 in interface 200B. Electronic device 110 may obtain a target image uploaded by the user based on the user's selection of upload control 230. For example, with the user's knowledge and authorization, electronic device 110 may receive the user's selection of a local image as the target image.

[0052] Additionally, as shown in FIG2B , the electronic device 110 may also present a set of candidate styles 215 in the interface 200B, wherein the first style 215-1 may be selected, for example. The user may also switch to another candidate style 215 by, for example, clicking on the other candidate styles 215, or the user may switch to a different style by performing a sliding operation in a preset direction (e.g., sliding left) in the interface 200B.

[0053] Although the above example triggers presentation of the interface 200B by selecting a style in FIG. 2A , it should be understood that the electronic device 110 may also present the interface 200B as shown in FIG. 2B based on other appropriate operations.

[0054] For example, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200B (also referred to as a shooting interface or a work creation interface) based on a current user's shooting request or work creation request. The electronic device 110 may, for example, initially present the set of candidate styles 215 in the interface 200B, or may present the set of candidate styles 215 based on a preset operation of the user.

[0055] Furthermore, after the user triggers an expression generation request by photographing or uploading a target image, the electronic device 110 may accordingly present an interface 200C as shown in FIG2C . The interface 200C may also be referred to as an expression preview interface.

[0056] As shown in FIG2C , electronic device 110 may provide a set of expression resources generated based on acquired target image 220, such as expression resource 240-1, expression resource 240-2, expression resource 240-3, and expression resource 240-4 (individually or collectively referred to as expression resources 240). Such expression resources 240 may include, but are not limited to, static images, dynamic images, videos, three-dimensional models, and the like.

[0057] In some embodiments, the set of expression resources 240 may include multiple expression resources corresponding to multiple preset themes. Such preset themes may correspond to the content of the expression resources, for example.

[0058] As an example, the emoticon resource 240 - 1 , the emoticon resource 240 - 2 , the emoticon resource 240 - 3 , and the emoticon resource 240 - 4 may correspond to different holiday greeting themes.

[0059] In some embodiments, the expression resource 240 may further include corresponding text content. Additionally, the electronic device 110 may further receive a user's editing operation on the text content and update the text content in the expression resource 240 accordingly.

[0060] In some embodiments, such text content can be used to express the theme corresponding to the expression resource 240. Alternatively, such text content can also be used as an identifier of the expression resource 240.

[0061] In some embodiments, the set of expression resources 240 may be generated by a target model based on the received target image 220. It should be understood that the target model may be implemented based on any appropriate machine learning technology, examples of which may include but are not limited to image generation models. Furthermore, the target model may be deployed locally on the electronic device 110 or on another appropriate remote device, and may be accessed or called by the electronic device 110 through appropriate means.

[0062] In some embodiments, multiple expression resources 240 can be generated by providing a plurality of different preset guide words to the target model. For example, expression resource 240-1 can be generated based on a first guide word corresponding to a first theme, and the first guide word can be used to guide the target model to generate media content corresponding to a first style indicated by the first guide word based on the target image as an expression resource. Conversely, expression resource 240-2 can be generated based on a second guide word corresponding to a second theme, and the second guide word can be used to guide the target model to generate media content corresponding to a second style indicated by the second guide word based on the target image as an expression resource.

[0063] In some embodiments, the set of expression resources 240 generated by the target model may have visual content corresponding to the received target image 220. For example, when the target image 220 includes a specific part (such as a face or a hand), the set of expression resources 240 may have visual content corresponding to the specific part (such as different facial expressions or different hand movements).

[0064] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide a corresponding update entry associated with a single emoticon resource 240, such as an update icon in the upper left corner of the emoticon resource 240-1. Upon selecting the update entry, the electronic device 110 may trigger the regeneration of another emoticon resource corresponding to the theme, and may display the other emoticon resource to replace the original emoticon resource 240-1.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further provide an entry (not shown) for triggering the regeneration of the entire set of expression resources 240. For example, if the user is not satisfied with the set of expression resources 240, the electronic device 110 may provide a new set of regenerated expression resources based on the user's triggering of the entry.

[0066] As an example, the electronic device 110 may trigger the regeneration and provision of expression resources based on a user's sliding operation on the interface 200C (eg, when the sliding amplitude is greater than a threshold).

[0067] As another example, the electronic device 110 may also present emoticon resources corresponding to other themes based on a user's upward swipe operation on the interface 200C. Alternatively, the electronic device 110 may also provide for the regeneration and provision of emoticon resources that were hidden due to the upward swipe operation on the interface 200C.

[0068] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide a second set of expression resources corresponding to another style (e.g., a second style) based on a preset operation of the user. Similar to the first set of expression resources 240, the second set of expression resources may include multiple expression resources generated based on the target image 220 and corresponding to multiple preset themes.

[0069] For example, electronic device 110 may receive a left swipe operation from the user on interface 200C, and display a second set of emoticon resources corresponding to the second style in interface 200C. Alternatively, electronic device 110 may provide a style selection control similar to interface 200B to present the second set of emoticon resources based on the user's selection of the second style.

[0070] 2C , the electronic device 110 may further provide a publish control 245. The electronic device 110 may, for example, receive a user's selection of one or more target expression resources in the set of expression resources 240 and publish the work with the selected one or more target expression resources based on the selection of the publish control 245.

[0071] As an example, the published works may include picture works, atlas works, video works, etc. generated by one or more expression resources.

[0072] As another example, when the interface 200C is also associated with providing one or more groups of expression resources corresponding to other styles, the electronic device 110 can, for example, receive the user's selection of multiple target expression resources in the multiple groups of expression resources, and publish the corresponding works based on the selection of the publishing control 245.

[0073] 2C , the electronic device 110 may further provide an add control 250. Similarly, the electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of one or more target expression resources in the set of expression resources 240, and add the one or more target expression resources to the expression resource library for the user based on the selection of the add entry 250.

[0074] As an example, the expression resource library may include a user's local expression library or a cloud expression library, so as to support the user to interact by selecting an added expression resource from the expression resource library.

[0075] As another example, when the interface 200C is also associated with providing one or more groups of expression resources corresponding to other styles, the electronic device 110 can, for example, receive the user's selection of multiple target expression resources from the multiple groups of expression resources, and add the corresponding expression resources to the expression resource library based on the selection of the add control 250.

[0076] As an example, as shown in Figure 2D, when the user adds expression resources 240-1 to expression resources 240-4 to the expression resource library, the electronic device 110 can present the expressions added to the expression resource library, for example, expression resources 240-1 to expression resources 240-4, based on the user's expression input request.

[0077] Furthermore, based on the user's selection of the expression resource 240-1, the electronic device 110 may send the expression resource 240-1 to the current input environment, for example, a conversation with "User B." It should be understood that such an input environment is merely exemplary, and embodiments of the present disclosure may support any other input environment suited for expression input, such as document editing, comment input, or editing of media content.

[0078] Furthermore, electronic device 110 may also provide a creation portal 255 to support users in capturing or uploading images to create other new emoticons. For example, electronic device 110 may present interface 200B discussed with reference to FIG. 2B upon selecting creation portal 225. The emoticon generation process can be referred to above and will not be further elaborated here.

[0079] Based on the process discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure can enable users to automatically create emoticons of corresponding styles and themes by uploading or taking images, thereby improving the efficiency of emoticon generation. In addition, by generating and providing such customized emoticons, embodiments of the present disclosure further improve the quality of generated emoticons, thereby helping to improve the efficiency of information interaction.

[0080] 3A and 3B illustrate example interfaces 300A and 300B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 300A and 300B may be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in FIG1 .

[0081] As shown in Figure 3A, interface 300A may be, for example, a viewing interface for a work 310. The work 310 may include, for example, an image work (eg, a single image work, a collection of images) or a video work.

[0082] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may present the panel 305 based on a preset operation of the user (eg, a sharing operation). In the panel 305 , the electronic device 110 may provide an entry 315 for generating an expression based on the work 310 .

[0083] In some embodiments, upon receiving a selection of the entry 315, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 300B as shown in Figure 3B. As shown in Figure 3B, the electronic device 110 may provide an expression preview panel 325 in the interface 300B.

[0084] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may provide a set of expression resources generated based on work 310 in expression preview panel 325, such as expression resource 320-1, expression resource 320-2, expression resource 320-3, and expression resource 320-4 (individually or collectively referred to as expression resources 320). Such expression resources 320 may include, but are not limited to, static images, dynamic images, videos, 3D models, etc.

[0085] In some embodiments, the set of expression resources 320 may include expression resources extracted from the screen of the work 310. As an example, the electronic device 110 and / or other appropriate devices may analyze the screen content of the work 310 and extract static images, dynamic images, videos, etc. as the expression resources 320.

[0086] Taking work 310 as a video work as an example, the electronic device 110 and / or other appropriate devices can analyze the pictures of the video work and extract the corresponding video clips based on a preset time window, and can crop the pictures of the video clips to generate corresponding expression resources 320.

[0087] For example, the electronic device 110 and / or other appropriate devices may select segments in which characters' facial expressions change significantly from a video work, and crop the corresponding areas of the characters' faces as corresponding expression resources 320 .

[0088] In some other embodiments, the set of expression resources 325 may be expression resources generated by a target model based on target screen content in the work 310 .

[0089] As an example, the work 110 may be an image work, and the electronic device 110 may determine the image work itself or specific picture content in the image work (for example, picture content corresponding to a specific part) as the target picture content, and provide it to the target model for the generation of the expression resource 320.

[0090] As another example, the work 110 may be a video work or an atlas work, and the electronic device 110 may determine one or more specific images in the video work or atlas work (for example, image frames in a video or a single picture in an atlas) as target screen content, or may determine one or more specific screen parts in the video work or atlas work (for example, screen parts corresponding to specific parts of an object) as target screen content and provide them to the target model for generating expression resources 320.

[0091] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide the user with a set of candidate screen contents determined based on the work, and may receive a selection of target screen content from the set of candidate screen contents for use in generating the expression resource 320 .

[0092] Regarding the generation process of each expression resource 320 in the expression preview panel 325 and the corresponding interaction process, reference may be made to the contents described above with reference to FIG. 2 c , and the present disclosure will not elaborate on them here.

[0093] In some embodiments, when the set of expression resources 320 includes expression resources extracted from the image of the work 310, the electronic device 110 may also trigger, based on the user's selection of an expression resource (e.g., expression resource 320-1), the generation of a new set of expression resources based on the expression resource 320-1. For example, the expression resource 320-1 may be used with the target image described above to generate a new set of expression resources.

[0094] Continuing with FIG3B , in some embodiments, electronic device 110 may further provide, for example, a publish control 330. Similar to the description above with reference to FIG2c , electronic device 110 may publish a work corresponding to one or more selected expression resources 320 based on a selection of publish control 330. For example, the published work may include a picture work, an atlas work, a video work, and the like generated from one or more expression resources.

[0095] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further provide an add control 335. Similar to the above description with reference to FIG2C, the electronic device 110 may add the selected one or more emoticon resources to the user's emoticon resource library based on the selection of the add control 335.

[0096] Based on the process described above, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support users to create corresponding expressions based on published works, and can publish new works based on the generated expressions, thereby improving the efficiency of user work creation.

[0097] Example Process

[0098] FIG4A shows a flow chart of an example expression generation process 400A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 400A may be implemented at the electronic device 110. The process 400A is described below with reference to FIG1.
