[0024] Various example implementations of this solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Sample Environment

[0026] 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 .

[0027] 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.

[0028] 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 .

[0029] 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.).

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Example Interaction

[0035] The following describes a power interaction process according to some embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to Figures 2A to 2C. Figures 2A to 2C illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 200A to 200C may be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0036] As shown in FIG2A , interface 200A may correspond to a viewing interface associated with a media content type, also referred to as a target interface. As shown in FIG2A , electronic device 110 may display a group of works associated with a media content type in interface 200A, such as work 205-1, work 205-2, work 205-3, and work 205-4 (individually or collectively referred to as works). For example, electronic device 110 may also present more works corresponding to the type based on a user's swiping operation.

[0037] In some embodiments, work 205 may be any suitable type of work having visual content, such as a photographic work, an atlas work, a video work, and the like.

[0038] In some embodiments, the media content type may indicate a public attribute of the work. For example, the work type corresponding to the interface shown in FIG2A may indicate that the group of works 205 has a first public attribute, indicating that the group of works 205 is only visible to users with a preset relationship with the publisher.

[0039] In some embodiments, the set of works 205 may include works published by the current user. Additionally, the set of works 205 may also include works published by other users. For example, work 205-4 may be a work published by another user with a first public attribute, and the current user has permission to access work 205-4.

[0040] 2A , the electronic device 110 may further provide a creation entry 210 in the interface 200A. After receiving a selection for the creation entry 210 , the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200B as shown in FIG2B .

[0041] In the interface 200B, the electronic device 110 may provide media content 215 , which may be generated based on multiple works in the set of works 205 .

[0042] 2B is used as an example, the media content 215 may be, for example, an atlas work, and may include an image presented in the interface 200B, also referred to as a target image. In some scenarios, the target image may be, for example, a cover image of the atlas work.

[0043] In some embodiments, the target image may include visual elements corresponding to multiple works in the set of works 205, such as visual element 220-1, visual element 220-2, visual element 220-3, and visual element 220-4 (individually or collectively referred to as visual elements 220). For example, visual elements 220-1 to 220-4 may correspond to the visual content of works 205-1 to 205-4, respectively. The visual content may be thumbnails or at least partial images of the works.

[0044] Taking a picture work as an example, the visual element 220 may be a picture or part of a picture in the corresponding picture work. Taking a video work as an example, the video element 220 may be a specific image frame or part of an image frame in the corresponding video work.

[0045] In some embodiments, the multiple works used to generate the media content may include one or more works selected by the user. For example, the electronic device 110 may determine the multiple works used to generate the media content 205 based on the user's selection operation of one or more works in the set of works 205.

[0046] In some embodiments, the plurality of works used to generate the media content may include at least one work determined according to preset attributes of the set of works 205 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the preset attribute of the set of works 205 may include the number of works in the set 205. As an example, the electronic device 110 may determine a number of works to use for generating the media content based on a comparison of the number of works in the set 205 with one or more threshold numbers. For example, if the number of works in the set 205 is greater than a preset number, the electronic device 110 may automatically determine a preset number of works from the set 205 for use in generating the media content.

[0048] As another example, the electronic device 110 may also determine multiple works based on the number of the set of works 205 matching multiple preset intervals. For example, if the electronic device 110 determines that the number of works is less than the first number, all the works may be used to generate media content.

[0049] When it is determined that the number of works reaches the first number but is less than the second number, the electronic device 110 may, for example, determine the first number of works from the set of works 205 for generating media content.

[0050] When it is determined that the number of works reaches the second number but is less than the third number, the electronic device 110 may, for example, determine a second number of works from the set of works 205 for generating media content.

[0051] It should be understood that the specific number of intervals or threshold values ​​is merely an example and is not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0052] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further determine multiple works for generating media content based on the release time of the set of works 205. For example, the electronic device 110 may determine a predetermined number of works with the most recent release time from the set of works 205.

[0053] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may further determine multiple works for generating media content based on the type of group of works 205. For example, electronic device 110 may determine multiple works matching a specific work type from group of works 205. Such work types may include, for example, picture works, video works, atlas works, works published by the current user, works published by other users, works with different public attributes, and any other appropriate types.

[0054] 2B , the multiple visual elements 220 corresponding to the multiple works can be arranged in a specific layout in the target image. In some embodiments, such a layout can include a preset layout. For example, the multiple visual elements 220 can be arranged in a default two-column format.

[0055] In some embodiments, such a layout may be determined based on a user operation. For example, the electronic device 110 may provide a plurality of candidate layouts for the user and may determine the layout of the plurality of visual elements 220 based on the user's selection.

[0056] In some embodiments, such a layout may also be determined based on multiple visual elements 220 or corresponding multiple works 205. For example, with the user's knowledge and permission, the electronic device 110 may adaptively determine the layout based on information such as the size, color, and theme of the multiple visual elements 220.

[0057] In some embodiments, the layout of the multiple visual elements 220 in the target image can also be determined based on the arrangement of the corresponding multiple artworks 205 in the target interface 200A, for example, so that the multiple visual elements 220 can maintain a consistent arrangement. For example, the target image can be a screenshot of the target interface 200A.

[0058] In some embodiments, the media content 215 may further include identification information 225. This identification information 225 may, for example, indicate that the media content 215 was created based on the creation portal 210 in the target interface 200A. For example, the target interface 200A may be an information flow interface associated with a media content type, where the target interface 200A includes both works published by the current user and works published by other users. Accordingly, the identification information may use "Our Moments" to indicate that multiple visual elements 220 in the media content 215 are from works published by multiple users.

[0059] It should be understood that such identification information 225 may be displayed in, for example, a specific image of the media content (eg, a cover image) or other appropriate images.

[0060] In some embodiments, taking the media content 215 as an atlas work as an example, the atlas work may further include multiple images corresponding to the multiple works 205 used to generate the media content 215 .

[0061] 2C , the electronic device 110 may present another image 240 in the media content 215 based on the user's sliding operation. The image 240 may correspond to the work 205 - 1 among the multiple works used to generate the media content 215 .

[0062] In some embodiments, the multiple images corresponding to the multiple works may be displayed in a predetermined order in the media content 215. For example, the predetermined order may be determined based on the display order of the multiple works in the target interface 200A.

[0063] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support users to quickly create new works based on multiple published works, and can express the content of multiple works at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of content sharing.

[0064] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also support the user to adjust or edit the provided media content 215 .

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may receive a user's adjustment operation on multiple images corresponding to multiple works in the atlas work, and may update the target image in the atlas work accordingly.

[0066] In some examples, electronic device 110 may receive an operation to adjust the order of multiple images in the album artwork. For example, electronic device 110 may move image 240 to the end of the album artwork based on the user's adjustment operation. Accordingly, electronic device 110 may adjust the target image based on the updated order, for example, to change the display position of corresponding visual element 220-1 in the target image.

[0067] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may also receive an operation to add a new image. For example, electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of an additional work and add the image corresponding to the additional work to album work 215. Accordingly, electronic device 110 may, for example, update the target image based on the added image so that the target image includes the visual elements corresponding to the selected additional work.

[0068] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also receive an operation for deleting an existing image. For example, the electronic device 110 may receive a user's delete operation on the image 240 and, for example, may update the target image accordingly so that the target image removes the corresponding visual element 220-1.

[0069] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may also receive an operation to replace a specific work from among the multiple works. For example, electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of a specific work and replace work 205-1 with the specific work. Accordingly, electronic device 110 may, for example, replace image 240 with the image corresponding to the specific work and update the target image accordingly so that the target image includes the visual elements corresponding to the specific work.

[0070] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can further provide flexibility in the creation of works.

[0071] In some embodiments, the target image provided by the electronic device 110 may further include target visual elements generated based on the work information of multiple works. For example, with the knowledge and permission of the relevant users, the electronic device 110 may further display more visual elements in the target image to indicate information such as the theme, release time, and release user of the group of works.

[0072] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C , the electronic device 110 may also provide a publishing portal 230 and a portal 235 for further editing other information of the work.

[0073] For example, the electronic device 110 may publish the corresponding media content 215 based on the selection of the publishing entry 230. Alternatively, the electronic device 110 may also receive input of other information about the work based on the selection of the entry 235, such as the title of the work, tags of the work, etc.

[0074] In some embodiments, unlike the examples shown in Figures 2B and 2C, the media content provided by the electronic device 110 may include, for example, a video work. Accordingly, the video work may include, for example, a target image frame (i.e., a target image), which may have a similar style to the target image shown in Figure 2B. The process of generating and adjusting the target image frame can refer to the process described above and will not be repeated here.

[0075] In some embodiments, the video work may further include images corresponding to multiple works used to generate the video work. Similar to the atlas work, the video work may include multiple video frames corresponding to the multiple works.

[0076] In some embodiments, the video work may be created based on a preset video template, which may indicate, for example, a display style of image frames or a switching style between different image frames.

[0077] Alternatively, the video work may be created based on a video template specified by the user. For example, the electronic device 110 may provide the user with a plurality of candidate video templates and may create a video work based on a target video target selected by the user.

[0078] Alternatively, the video work may also be determined based on a plurality of works or a plurality of images corresponding to the plurality of works. For example, the electronic device 110 may automatically determine a corresponding video template based on the themes of the plurality of works.

[0079] The creation and publication of a work is discussed above based on the example of the interface 200A associated with a specific work type. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide a corresponding creation portal in other interfaces.

[0080] Figure 3A shows an example interface 300A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interface 300 may be, for example, an interface associated with a current user, such as a personal homepage of the current user.

[0081] As shown in FIG3A , in interface 300A, electronic device 110 may display works associated with works of different types (e.g., "Works X" and "Works Y"). For example, "Works X" and "Works Y" may correspond to works with different public attributes. For example, "Works X" may correspond to works visible to all users, while "Works Y" may correspond to works visible only to users with a pre-set relationship with the publisher. Alternatively, "Works X" may include all works published by the current user.

[0082] For example, upon receiving a selection for "Y Work," electronic device 110 may present a group of works, such as work 305-1, work 305-2, and work 305-3 (individually or collectively referred to as works 305). Unlike work 205, the works 305 displayed on interface 300A may all be published by the current user.

[0083] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may also provide a creation portal 310 in the interface 300A. Similar to the above description of the creation portal 210, the electronic device 110 may create media content based on multiple works in the set of works 305.

[0084] The process of creating, adjusting and publishing media content can refer to the content described above and will not be repeated here.

[0085] In some embodiments, creation portal 210 and creation portal 310 may correspond to different work creation templates. Such work creation templates may, for example, indicate the work's color theme, layout style, image effects, video effects, etc., so that different creation templates may correspond to different color themes, layout styles, image effects, and video effects.

[0086] In some embodiments, considering that the creation portals 210 and 310 correspond to different sources of works, the electronic device 110 may further display corresponding identification information in the media content created via different creation portals. For example, as discussed above, the media content 215 may include identification information 225 to indicate that the media content 215 may be created based on the creation portal 210.

[0087] As another example, the media content created based on the creation entry 310 may present identification information other than the identification information 225 , or may not present any identification information.

[0088] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can more conveniently allow users to perceive whether the created media content includes the content of works published by other users.

[0089] 3B , interface 300B may correspond to a viewing interface for a work 315. Work 315 may be created based on the process discussed above. Interface 300B may be presented by electronic device 110 corresponding to any appropriate user (e.g., a user other than the user who published work 315).

[0090] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further provide identification information 320 or an entry 325 in the interface 300B. For example, the electronic device 110 may create new media content based on a set of works associated with the target user based on the target user's selection of the identification information 320 or the entry 325.

[0091] As another example, the electronic device 110 may also present a corresponding activity page based on the target user's selection of identification information 320 or entry 325, and provide a creation entry in the activity page. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may create new media content based on a set of works associated with the target user based on the target user's selection of the creation entry.

[0092] Similarly, the work 315 may also be created by the current user based on a preset operation in a viewing interface of other works of the same type (eg, a work automatically created from multiple published works).

[0093] Based on the process described above, embodiments of the present disclosure can efficiently create a new work based on multiple published works and can simultaneously express the contents of multiple works.

[0094] Example Process

[0095] 4 shows a flow chart of an example process 400 for creating media content according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Process 400 may be implemented at electronic device 110. Process 400 is described below with reference to FIG1.

[0096] In block 410 , the electronic device 110 displays a target interface including a creation portal associated with a set of published works.
