[0024] 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.

[0025] 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. In the example environment 100, an application 120 is installed in a terminal device 110. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 110 and / or a device attached to the terminal device 110.

[0026] In some embodiments, application 120 may be a recommendation application (e.g., a recommendation application for media items), which can recommend different types of media items to user 140. In some embodiments, application 120 can also be any other suitable application in which media items can be displayed. In this document, each "media item" includes one or more types of content, such as video, image, GIF, image collection, audio, text, etc.

[0027] In the environment 100 of FIG1 , if the application 120 is active, the terminal device 110 may present a page 150 of the application 120. The page 150 may include various pages that the application 120 may provide, such as a media item presentation page, a media item creation page, a media item publishing page, a message page, a personal homepage, etc. The application 120 may provide a media item viewing function for viewing various media items published in the application 120.

[0028] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable the supply of services to the application 120. The terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.). The server 130 can be various types of computing systems / servers that can provide computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, and the like.

[0029] 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.

[0030] For example, the terminal device 110 may present a specific media item presentation page of an application (e.g., application 120). The media item presentation page may present media items. The media item presentation page may also be referred to as a media item display page, a content display page, or the like.

[0031] Traditionally, users can browse media items published by any subject (including but not limited to users, enterprises, groups, user groups, etc.) in an application via a media item presentation page. Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of an example 200 of a conventional media item presentation page. Example 200 presents media items published by a certain subject. Example 200 may include an identifier 210 indicating the subject that published the media item. Identifier 210 may, for example, be an avatar of the subject that published the media item. Example 200 may also include area 220. Area 220 may, for example, include multiple interactive controls for interacting with the media item. Multiple interactive controls may, for example, include a like control, a comment control, a favorite control, a forwarding control, and the like. Example 200 may also include area 230. Area 230 may, for example, be used to present the name of the subject that published the media item and descriptive information for the media item.

[0032] If a user wishes to browse specific content, they often need to switch from the content presentation page to another page. For example, if a user wishes to browse or access at least one media item related to a certain topic, they often need to search for the topic and browse / access at least one media item matching the topic on the search results presentation page. For another example, if a user wishes to view relevant information about an object (e.g., a product), they often need to switch to the object viewing page associated with the object (e.g., a shopping cart page, a product details page, etc.) to view the information. This affects the efficiency of the user's browsing content and complicates user operations.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a solution for subscribing to media items is provided. According to the solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first media item and a subscription control associated with the first media item are displayed. In response to receiving a user operation on the subscription control, a subscription topic associated with the first media item is determined. In response to determining that a predetermined condition corresponding to the subscription topic is satisfied, at least one second media item matching the subscription topic is displayed.

[0034] Using the embodiments of the present disclosure, users can directly complete subscription operations while browsing a page normally, without having to click on a dedicated menu to perform complex operations on a search page or other functional pages. In this way, users can independently determine whether to subscribe to a subscription topic. If a user has subscribed to a subscription topic, the terminal device can display at least one media item that matches the subscription topic to the user. The user can quickly and easily view the at least one media item that matches the subscription topic, which can improve the efficiency of the user's browsing of media items and enable the user to subscribe to the desired media item with simpler operations.

[0035] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 3A to 3H show schematic diagrams of example pages 300A to example pages 300H (also referred to as examples 300A to 300H) according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the pages shown in the drawings are merely examples, and various page designs may actually exist. The various graphical elements in the page may have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more elements therein may be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements may also be present. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect.

[0036] The pages shown in Examples 300A-300H may be presented at the terminal device 110. For ease of discussion, Examples 300A-300H will be described with reference to the environment 100 of FIG.

[0037] For example, the terminal device 110 may display the first media item in a media item presentation page. The first media item may include, for example, a media item posted by a user of a recommendation application and / or a media item provided by the recommendation application (e.g., application 120). Media item presentation pages may include multiple types, for example, a media item presentation page for presenting media items provided by a recommendation application, and a media item presentation page (also referred to as a regular media item presentation page) for presenting media items posted by a user (or other entity such as an enterprise).

[0038] If the first media item is a media item provided by a recommendation application, the first media item may not be a media item published by a specific subject. In this case, the terminal device 110 can only present the media item without presenting the relevant information (such as avatar, name, etc.) of the specific subject associated with the media item. Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 3A, example 300A can, for example, show an example of a media item presentation page. Example 300A can, for example, include an area 310 for presenting the first media item. It should be noted that the area 310 in Figure 300A is only an example, and it can be an area of ​​any size and any style (for example, it can have a border or it can be borderless). Such an area generated by a recommendation application (for example, only presenting the media item without presenting the subject that publishes the media item) can also be referred to as a special-shaped card, a special-shaped area, etc.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first media item may include a single media item and / or a list of media items. The list of media items may include, for example, multiple access entries for accessing multiple media items. For example, the first media item may include a single news item and / or a news list corresponding to multiple news items.

[0040] In some embodiments, if the first media item includes a single media item, the terminal device 110 can directly present the media item in response to receiving a user operation on the media item. The user operation here refers to the user's interactive operation on the media item, which can include, for example, a click operation, a long press operation, a double-click operation, etc. Subsequent user operations on other content also refer to user interactive operations on other content. If the first media item includes a list of media items, the terminal device 110 can present the target media item in response to receiving a user operation to access the target media item among the multiple media items.

[0041] The terminal device 110 can present the media item list in any appropriate style. For example, as shown in Figure 3B, in example 300B, area 310 presents a plurality of media items (e.g., media item 311, media item 312, media item 313, media item 314, etc.) included in the media item list and a subscription topic (i.e., the topic "Today's Hot Topics") associated with the media item list (i.e., the first media item). The access entry of the media item can, for example, include text for describing the media item, an image for describing the media item (e.g., the cover of the media item), and / or other specific entries. For example, the terminal device 110 can, in response to receiving a user operation on the image at media item 311, determine that a user operation on the access entry of media item 311 has been received, and then present media item 311.

[0042] For another example, as shown in FIG3C , area 310 may present one or more images, each image corresponding to a media item in the media item list. The terminal device 110 may present controls 320 and elements 322 in area 310. Controls 320 may, for example, be used to present descriptive information of the media item corresponding to the current image, a subscription topic associated with the media item list (i.e., the first media item) (i.e., the topic “Today’s Hot Topics”), the number of media items included in the media item list (e.g., the number “6”), and the order of the media item corresponding to the current image among the multiple media items (e.g., the number “1 / 6”, which indicates that the media item corresponding to the current image is the first of the six media items). Element 322 may also, for example, be used to indicate the number of media items included in the media item list and the order of the media item corresponding to the current image among the multiple media items.

[0043] In example 300C, the terminal device 110 may, for example, switch the image presented in the area 310 (i.e., switch the media item) in response to receiving a user operation on the area 310 (e.g., a left-swipe operation or a right-swipe operation on the area 310). In example 300C, the access entry for each media item may, for example, be the image presented in the area 310 and / or the description information of the media item presented in the control 320. For example, in response to receiving a user operation on the image in the area 310, the terminal device 110 may determine that a user operation has been received to access the media item corresponding to the currently presented image, and then present the media item.

[0044] The terminal device 110 can, for example, present the target media item in a page corresponding to the target media item. For example, if the target media item is hot news, the terminal device 110 can switch to a hot news browsing page to present the target media item. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also return to a list of media items (e.g., as shown in FIG3B ) in response to receiving a user operation for exiting the target media item. For example, the terminal device 110 can switch from a hot news browsing page back to a media item presentation page presenting a list of media items in response to receiving a user operation for exiting the target media item.

[0045] The terminal device 110 may also display a subscription control associated with the first media item. Referring back to Figure 3A, Example 300A may also include multiple controls for the first media item (e.g., control 301 and control 302). The terminal device 110 may, for example, determine to cancel the presentation of the first media item in response to receiving a user operation on control 301 (e.g., a click operation, a double-click operation, a long press operation, a sliding operation, etc. by the user on control 301). The terminal device 110 may, for example, switch back to presenting a regular media item presentation page and present the media items published by any subject in the application on the regular media item page. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may also, in response to receiving a user operation on control 301, no longer present the first media item in Example 300A within a predetermined time range (e.g., any time range such as one day, three days, or one week). Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, Example 300A may also present a prompt message indicating the switch back to the regular media item presentation page (e.g., the text "Swipe up to continue watching the video"). The terminal device 110 may also switch back to presenting the regular media item presentation page in response to receiving a user operation (eg, an upward swipe operation) that matches the prompt message. The user may continue to browse media items published by any subject via the regular media item presentation page.

[0046] Control 302 may be, for example, a subscription control, and terminal device 110 may, for example, determine a subscription topic associated with the first media item in response to receiving a user operation on control 302. In some embodiments, terminal device 110 may further display a management page for managing subscription topics. The management page may indicate the subscription topics and include at least one management control for managing the subscription topics. The at least one management control may, for example, include a confirmation control for subscribing to a topic, a cancel control for canceling a subscription to a topic, and / or an edit control for editing a subscription topic. Terminal device 110 may, in response to receiving a user operation on a management control, determine a subscription topic associated with the first media item.

[0047] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG3A and FIG3D , the terminal device 110 may, for example, present example 300D shown in FIG3D in response to receiving a user operation on the control 302 in FIG3A . Example 300D shows an example of a management page for managing subscription topics. Example 300D may, for example, include area 331. If the first media item is a media item posted by a user, area 331 may present relevant information of the user (e.g., the user's avatar, name, etc.). If the first media item is a media item provided by a recommended application, area 331 may present descriptive information associated with the recommended application (e.g., descriptive information of a functional module of the recommended application).

[0048] Example 300D may also indicate a description text of the subscription topic (e.g., the text "Continue to recommend [XXXXX] cards for you on the recommendation page," where "XXXXX" is the subscription topic) and an example image (e.g., image 333, which may indicate a media item presentation page presenting the first media item). In some embodiments, the user may also edit the text within the brackets "[ ]" to edit the subscription topic. In this case, the brackets may be considered edit controls. For example, if the text within the brackets is "24-hour hot news," the user may edit the text within the brackets to modify it to "12-hour hot news." In this case, the subscription topic is the "12-hour hot news" modified by the user.

[0049] Example 300D may further include controls 332, 334, and 335. Controls 332 and 334 may each be, for example, cancel controls. In response to receiving a user operation on the cancel controls, terminal device 110 may cancel the subscription topic (i.e., the topic "XXXXX" shown in the figure). Terminal device 110 may, for example, return to presenting example 300A. Control 335 may be, for example, a confirmation control. In response to receiving a user operation on control 335, terminal device 110 may determine that the subscription topic associated with the first media item is the topic "XXXXX" shown in the figure.

[0050] In some embodiments, example 300D may further include a setting control (not shown in the figure) for setting predetermined conditions. The terminal device 110 may, for example, set predetermined conditions in response to receiving a user operation on the setting control. The predetermined conditions here may, for example, include a time range for providing at least one second media item that matches the subscription theme (for example, presenting at least one second media item that matches the subscription theme every morning), a frequency for providing at least one second media item (for example, providing at least one second media item to the user every time the user browses 30 media items in the regular media item presentation page), a timing for providing at least one second media item (for example, if the subscription theme is price reduction information of a product, the terminal device 110 may provide at least one second media item when the product price is reduced. If the subscription theme is a media item posted by a user, the terminal device 110 may determine the media item as a second media item in response to the user posting a new media item, and display the second media item), etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may further display a status page for the subscription topic. The status page may include a status control for managing the subscription status of the subscription topic. For example, in response to receiving a user operation on the status control, the terminal device 110 may display a toggle control for switching the status of the subscription topic, and in response to receiving the operation on the toggle control, switch the subscription status of the subscription topic.

[0052] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 3E, the terminal device 110 can display the status page shown in example 300E. Example 300E, for example, can also include an area 310 for presenting a first media item. Example 300E can also include controls 303 and controls 304. For example, the terminal device 110 can present multiple other media items (for example, including at least one second media item) that match the subscription theme of the first media item in response to receiving a user operation on control 303. Control 304 can, for example, be a status control, and the terminal device 110 can, for example, present example 300F in response to a user operation on control 304. Example 300F can include at least controls 341, 342, and 343. Control 342 can, for example, be a switch control, and the terminal device 110 can, for example, switch the subscription status of the subscription theme (for example, from the state "subscribed" to the state "unsubscribed") in response to receiving a user operation on control 342.

[0053] For example, the terminal device 110 may display a list page for managing at least one subscribed subscription topic in response to receiving a user operation on control 341. Figures 3G and 3H show two examples of list pages (i.e., example 300G and example 300H). Example 300G may, for example, include control 351, and the terminal device 110 may switch back to presenting example 300F in response to receiving a user operation on control 351. Example 300G may, for example, present subscription cards corresponding to each subscribed topic (e.g., card 352 and card 353). Each subscription card may present the name and identifier corresponding to the corresponding subscription topic. For example, card 352 presents the identifier 354 and the name "Hot Featured Card" of the corresponding subscription topic, and card 353 presents the representation 356 and the name "XXXXX" of the corresponding subscription topic. Each subscription card may also include a corresponding toggle control (e.g., card 352 includes toggle control 355, and card 353 includes toggle control 357). For example, the terminal device 110 may switch the subscription state of the target subscription topic corresponding to the target subscription card in response to receiving a user operation on a switch control corresponding to the target subscription card. For example, the terminal device 110 may switch the subscription topic corresponding to card 353 from a subscribed state to an unsubscribed state in response to receiving a user operation on a switch control 357.

[0054] Example 300H may, for example, include control 361, and the terminal device 110 may switch back to presenting example 300F in response to receiving a user operation on control 361. Example 300H may, for example, directly present multiple topics that have been subscribed (e.g., topics 362-1, 362-2, 362-3, etc.) and multiple controls corresponding to the multiple topics respectively (e.g., control 363-1 corresponding to topic 362-1, control 363-2 corresponding to topic 362-2, control 363-3 corresponding to topic 362-3, etc.). For example, the terminal device 110 may present at least one control for managing the target topic corresponding to the target control (e.g., a switch control for switching the subscription status of the target topic, an editing control for editing the target topic, etc.) in response to receiving a user operation on the target control. The terminal device 110 may switch the target topic from a subscribed state to an unsubscribed state in response to receiving a trigger operation on the switch control.

[0055] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may also display at least one second media item that matches the subscription theme in response to determining that a predetermined condition corresponding to the subscription theme is met. The first media item and the at least one second media item may, for example, both be media items that match the subscription theme. In some embodiments, the at least one second media item is obtained from multiple media items provided by the recommendation application based on the subscription theme. That is, the terminal device 110 can dynamically obtain multiple media items provided by the recommendation application in real time, and obtain at least one second media item that matches the subscription theme from these multiple media items. For example, if the subscription theme is "hot news", the terminal device 110 can display at least one news item that matches this theme to the user.

[0056] In summary, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a user can independently determine whether to subscribe to a subscription topic. If a user has subscribed to a subscription topic, a terminal device can display at least one media item matching the subscription topic. This allows the user to quickly and easily view the at least one media item matching the subscription topic, improving the user's browsing efficiency and enabling the user to subscribe to desired media items with simpler operations.

[0057] The above describes the specific details of each step of subscribing to a media item, providing a method for managing a charging device.
