In addition, in one or more embodiments, specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner that will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure.

[0028] The multimedia content publishing process is the process from a user requesting the content (e.g., by triggering the content's release) to its completion. This process can include multiple stages, such as requesting parameters, synthesizing multimedia resources, uploading the content, uploading additional information (e.g., special effects, subtitles, etc.), creating the content, and completing the release. Therefore, each multimedia content publishing process takes a certain amount of time, which is affected by the size and complexity of the multimedia resources, network conditions, and other factors.

[0029] The operating system of the terminal can support some or all of the multimedia content publishing process to run in the background. Table 1 exemplarily shows the support of the Apple operating system (iOS) and the Android operating system for background processing at each stage.

[0030] Table 1

[0031] Some applications support users to publish multiple multimedia contents continuously or simultaneously to improve the overall efficiency of multimedia content publishing. For example, a user can first trigger the publication of a first multimedia content, exit the publishing interface of the first multimedia content before the first multimedia content is completed, and then trigger the publication of a second multimedia content, and so on. For another example, a user can trigger the publication of multiple multimedia contents at the same time. However, when there are multiple multimedia contents that have not been completed, the user may switch the application to the background because he wants to use other functions in the terminal, such as displaying the operating system desktop of the terminal. At this time, if the publication of a certain multimedia content is interrupted or has been completed, it is difficult for the user to perform subsequent operations in a timely manner, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of multimedia content publishing.

[0032] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a method for publishing multimedia content, related devices, and a computer-readable storage medium to at least solve the problem of improving the publishing efficiency of multimedia content and improving user experience.

[0033] The present disclosure uses the first control of the desktop to display the release progress information of the first multimedia content or the second multimedia content after the application is switched to the background, so that the user can promptly understand the release progress of the multimedia content. The following describes an embodiment of the method for publishing multimedia content of the present disclosure with reference to Figure 1. The method can be performed by an electronic device. The electronic device can be a tablet computer, a mobile phone (such as a folding screen mobile phone, a large screen mobile phone, etc.), a wearable device, a car device, an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, a laptop computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart TV, a smart screen, a high-definition TV, a 4K TV, a smart speaker, a smart projector and other Internet of Things (IOT) devices. The present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of electronic device.

[0034] Figure 1 shows a schematic flow chart of a method for publishing multimedia content according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1 , the publishing method of this embodiment includes steps S102 to S106.

[0035] In step S102 , in the process of publishing the first multimedia content and the second multimedia content through the application, in response to the application being switched to the background and displaying the desktop, a first control is displayed on the desktop.

[0036] The application is an application in the electronic device and can be run based on the operating system of the electronic device. The application can be any type of application that supports the release of multimedia content, such as video applications, social applications, educational applications, etc.

[0037] Multimedia content includes, for example, video, audio, graphic content, and other types. The first multimedia content and the second multimedia content can be of any type, and the types of the first multimedia content and the second multimedia content can be the same or different. The user triggers the release of the first multimedia content and the second multimedia content in the application, for example, by triggering a function such as "Publish Work" in the application, thereby initiating the release process of the first multimedia content and the second multimedia content. The process of publishing the first multimedia content and the second multimedia content through the application refers to the process after the release of the first multimedia content and the second multimedia content is initiated and before the release is completed.

[0038] The desktop can be the desktop of an electronic device (or terminal), or the desktop of the operating system of the electronic device. The first control can be a control of the operating system, which is not bound to a specific application, but can receive data transmitted by the application and display it. The first control can be displayed only on the desktop, or it can be suspended on the upper layer of the application when other applications are displayed. That is, the first control is a global component in the electronic device. Taking iOS as an example, the first control can be "Smart Island".

[0039] In step S104, the publishing progress information of the first multimedia content is displayed in the first control.

[0040] Publishing progress information is used to indicate the progress or status of the multimedia content publishing process. For example, the publishing progress information includes the name or description of the current publishing stage of the multimedia content, such as "Stage 1," "Stage B," "Uploading," "Creating," and so on, so that users can clearly understand the current publishing stage. In some embodiments, the description of the publishing stage is displayed based on the publishing stage of the first multimedia content or the second multimedia content.

[0041] The publishing progress information may also be a publishing progress value, which may be displayed by a number or a progress bar to indicate the degree of completion of the publishing process, so that the display interface is more intuitive and concise. The publishing progress values ​​corresponding to each stage may be exemplarily referred to Table 2. In Table 2, the numerical value 100 is exemplarily used to represent the progress value corresponding to the completion of the publishing, that is, the numerical value corresponding to the entire publishing process. Thus, other progress values ​​can be easily converted to represent the percentage of the currently completed process in the entire publishing process when the execution reaches that stage. For example, when the execution reaches the stage of "multimedia content uploading", the entire publishing process has been carried out from 61% to 97%. It should be clear to those skilled in the art that Table 2 is only an exemplary form of representation, and the numerical values ​​therein are also exemplary, and do not impose any limitations on the scheme disclosed herein.

[0042] Table 2

[0043] Since the progress value corresponding to some publishing stages is a numerical range, the specific publishing progress value can be further determined in combination with the duration of the multimedia content in the current publishing stage. That is, in some embodiments, the publishing progress value is displayed based on the publishing stage of the first multimedia content or the second multimedia content and the duration of the publishing stage. For example, the first multimedia content has just switched from the stage of synthesizing multimedia resources to the stage of uploading multimedia content. In the multimedia content uploading stage, the initial publishing progress value can be 61. As the upload progresses, that is, the time the first multimedia content is in the "multimedia content uploading" stage increases, the publishing progress value gradually increases. The growth rate of the publishing progress value can be determined based on the increase in the progress value corresponding to a preset unit time, or based on the ratio of the duration of the first multimedia content in the current publishing stage to the estimated total duration of the publishing stage, where the estimated total duration can be determined based on the size of the resources involved in the multimedia content. Thus, the current publishing progress can be reflected more accurately.

[0044] In the case where the multimedia content cannot continue the publishing process, a publishing interruption prompt of the multimedia content is displayed. In some embodiments, in response to the fact that the publishing stage of the first multimedia content does not support running in the background, a publishing interruption prompt of the first multimedia content is displayed. The publishing interruption prompt can be a descriptive text or a symbol. For example, an exclamation mark (!), an error mark (×), an expression of frustration, or "Publishing is paused, please return to the application to continue" is used to prompt the user that there is a problem with the current publishing process. In this way, the user can return to the application in time to check and solve the problem of publishing interruption. For example, if the interruption is due to the current stage not supporting running in the background, the user can continue the publishing process by returning to the application, that is, switching the application to the foreground.

[0045] In some embodiments, the multimedia content publishing progress information includes a publishing interruption prompt. In response to a first operation on a first control, the application is displayed and the multimedia content publishing process is continued. Thus, if the user learns through the first control that the current publishing process has been interrupted, they can promptly return to the application through the first control. The first operation can be a triggering operation or other operation configured as needed.

[0046] In some embodiments, the publishing progress information of the multimedia content includes at least one of the cover of the first multimedia content and the identifier of the application. By displaying the cover of the multimedia content, it can be indicated whether the currently displayed publishing progress information is for the first multimedia content or the second multimedia content. By displaying the identifier of the application, it can be indicated which application the current information is for. However, if the display space is limited or in certain other situations, the cover of the multimedia content or the application identifier can also be omitted, and only the publishing progress information can be used to indicate that the multimedia content is currently in the publishing process.

[0047] In step S106, in response to the publishing progress information of the first multimedia content meeting a specified condition, the publishing progress information of the second multimedia content is displayed in the first control.

[0048] For example, the specified condition is that the first multimedia content has been published (i.e., the publishing progress information indicates that the publishing is complete, or indicates that the publishing stage is complete). In this case, there is no need to continue displaying the publishing progress information of the first multimedia content, so the publishing progress information of the second multimedia content can be displayed instead. Therefore, in this case, the information that the user is more interested in can be displayed first.

[0049] The specified condition may also be that the display duration of the publication progress information of the first multimedia content reaches a specified duration, so that the publication progress information of different multimedia contents can be switched to be displayed for the user after a period of time, allowing the user to fully understand the publication status of multiple multimedia contents. In some embodiments, after the display duration of the publication progress information of the second multimedia content reaches the specified duration, the publication progress information of the first multimedia content or the third multimedia content can be displayed again, so as to realize the rotation display of the two.

[0050] In some embodiments, the two aforementioned methods can be combined. For example, multiple multimedia content items in the publishing process can be displayed in rotation. After a multimedia content item is published, the publishing progress information of the remaining multimedia content items, excluding the multimedia content item, can be displayed in rotation. If only one multimedia content item remains unpublished, only the publishing progress information of the remaining multimedia content item can be displayed.

[0051] In some embodiments, in response to the publishing progress information of the first multimedia content meeting a specified condition, the publishing progress information of the first multimedia content is switched to the publishing progress information of the second multimedia content in the first control. That is, the publishing progress information of the first multimedia content is no longer displayed, and the publishing progress information of the second multimedia content is displayed instead.

[0052] The specific implementation of displaying the publishing progress information of the second multimedia content can be found in the description of the publishing progress information of the first multimedia content after step S104. Specifically, the name or description of the publishing stage can be displayed based on the publishing stage of the second multimedia content; the publishing progress value can be displayed based on the publishing stage and the duration of the publishing stage of the second multimedia content; or, in response to the second multimedia content not being able to run in the background at the publishing stage, a notification indicating that the publishing of the second multimedia content has been interrupted can be displayed. Other details are not further elaborated here.

[0053] Similar to the first multimedia content, in some embodiments, the publishing progress information for the second multimedia content includes a publishing interruption prompt. In response to the first operation on the first control, the application is displayed and the publishing process of the second multimedia content is continued. Thus, if the user learns through the first control that the current publishing process has been interrupted, they can promptly return to the application through the first control.

[0054] Through the above embodiment, when there are multiple multimedia contents that have not been completed, the release progress of the multimedia contents can be promptly reflected to the user through the desktop controls, so that the user can promptly perform subsequent operations based on the release status of the multimedia contents, thereby improving the release efficiency of the multimedia contents and enhancing the user experience.

[0055] Figures 2A, 2B and 2C show schematic diagrams of the first control according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 2A, 2B and 2C, the desktop 2 includes some application icons and a first control 21, and the first control 21 displays the publishing progress information of the multimedia content. For example, a cover 211 of the multimedia content (such as a video) is displayed in the first control 21. The publishing progress information in Figure 2A is exemplarily represented by a progress value 212, indicating that the first multimedia content is in the process of being published. The publishing progress information in Figure 2B is exemplarily represented by a check mark 213, indicating that the first multimedia content has been completed. The publishing progress information in Figure 2C is exemplarily represented by an exclamation mark 214, indicating that the publishing of the first multimedia content is interrupted.

[0056] In some embodiments, in response to the second operation on the first control, the display area of ​​the first control is expanded to display more detailed publishing progress information. The second operation is, for example, a long press operation, or other operations set as needed. Thus, before the second operation is performed on the first control, the publishing progress information is displayed in an abbreviated manner to save display space, and after the second operation is performed, more detailed publishing progress information is displayed to make it clearer to the user. For example, before the second operation is performed on the first control, the publishing progress value of the first multimedia content or the second multimedia content, or the publishing interruption prompt is displayed in the first control; in response to the second operation on the first control, the display area of ​​the first control is expanded, and in the expanded first control, a description of the publishing stage of the first multimedia content or the second multimedia content is displayed.

[0057] Taking the case of publishing interruption in FIG. 2C as an example, in response to the second operation on the first control 21, the interface shown in FIG. 2D is displayed. In FIG. 2D , the display area of ​​the first control 21 is larger, and the display changes from the relatively abbreviated form in FIG. 2C to a description message 215, such as "Publishing is paused. Open application A to resume uploading." In addition, "Application A" may be displayed to indicate that this is a prompt from application A.

[0058] 2A to 2D are applicable to the first multimedia content and the second multimedia content.

[0059] The following is an illustrative description of a publishing method in an application scenario.

[0060] Assume that the publishing process includes a first publishing stage and a second publishing stage, and each of the first publishing stage and the second publishing stage may further include one or more publishing stages (for example, refer to the description in the aforementioned embodiment). The first publishing stage does not support running in the background, and the second publishing stage supports running in the background. For example, in iOS, request parameters and synthesized multimedia resources may belong to the first publishing stage, and multimedia content uploading, additional information uploading of multimedia content, creation of multimedia content, and completion of publishing may belong to the second publishing stage. In this case, the following scenarios may exist.

[0061] After the user triggers the publishing process on the publishing interface of the first multimedia content, the application first executes the first publishing stage for the first multimedia content. Since the first publishing stage does not support running in the background, the user waits on the current page. When the first publishing stage is completed and reaches the second publishing stage, the user can exit the current publishing interface, and the first multimedia content continues to execute the publishing process in the background. At this time, the user creates or uploads the second multimedia content, triggers the publishing process of the second multimedia content, and then switches to the desktop. In this case, after the user switches to the desktop, that is, after the application runs in the background, if the first multimedia content has not yet completed publishing, the first multimedia content is in the second publishing stage and the second multimedia content is in the first publishing stage.

[0062] For the above scenario, in some embodiments, the first control first displays the publishing progress information of the first multimedia content, for example, displaying a specific publishing progress value 212 as shown in FIG2A . Over time, the first multimedia content is published, and a publishing completion indicator 213 may be displayed, as shown in FIG2B . The first control then stops displaying the publishing progress information of the first multimedia content and displays the publishing progress information of the second multimedia content. Because the second multimedia content is unable to run in the background, the interface shown in FIG2E is displayed, i.e., a prompt 217 indicating that the publishing of the second multimedia content has been interrupted is displayed in the first control 21. This allows for real-time updates of the current publishing status of the first multimedia content as the publishing of the first multimedia content progresses. If the publishing of the second multimedia content is interrupted, the user is promptly notified so that the user can return to the application to trigger the resumption of uploading the second multimedia content. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the cover 211 in FIG2A and FIG2B represents the cover of the first multimedia content, and the cover 216 in FIG2E represents the cover of the second multimedia content. Of course, the first control 21 may also not include a cover, but instead display other information such as the multimedia content name or application identifier, or may not display such cover or identifier information.

[0063] In some embodiments, the start time of the publishing process of the first multimedia content is no later than the start time of the publishing process of the second multimedia content, that is, the user triggers the publishing of the first multimedia content first, or triggers the publishing of both multimedia contents at the same time. After the first multimedia content and the second multimedia content are published (that is, after they are published in the background), in response to the application being switched to the foreground, the playback interface of the published second multimedia content is displayed in the application. That is, after the publishing of multiple multimedia contents is completed in the background, in response to the user switching back to the foreground again, the publishing result of the multimedia content triggered later can be displayed first, so as to intuitively notify the user that both multimedia contents have been published.

[0064] For example, continuing with the embodiment of FIG. 2E , after triggering the first control 21, the user can return to the application to continue publishing the second multimedia content. When the second multimedia content enters the second publishing phase, the user can switch the application to the background again as needed. When the second multimedia content is completed, its interface can be as shown in FIG. 2F , with a check mark 218 indicating that the second multimedia content has been published. At this point, the user can return to the application by triggering the first control 21 or by other means, and the application interface after returning can be as shown in FIG. 3 .

[0065] Figure 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of a multimedia content playback interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, interface 3 displays and plays second multimedia content 31, and displays a second control 32. Second control 32 includes identifiers for multiple sharing channels, allowing sharing with user 2, user 3, user 4, and so on, or sharing through application B, application C, and so on. This description will not be repeated here.

[0066] The above is an exemplary description of the embodiment of the multimedia content publishing method of the present disclosure. The following further introduces the relevant devices, equipment, and systems of the present disclosure with reference to Figures 4 to 6.
