[0038] 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.

[0039] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Example Interaction

[0041] An example interaction process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] 2A to 2E illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200E according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The interfaces 200A to 200E may be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in FIG. 1 .

[0043] Interfaces 200A to 200E are also referred to as channel creation interfaces. Through the channel creation interface, electronic device 110 can create a user's media channel (e.g., a dedicated media channel) by receiving user operations. The specific process of creating a media channel will be described in detail below and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] As shown in Figure 2A, interface 200A may display a switch 210. In conjunction with Figure 1, electronic device 110 may, for example, present a channel creation interface using switch 210 in application 120. As shown in Figure 2A, upon receiving a user's request to switch the interface to the channel creation interface using switch 210, electronic device 110 may display a message such as "You have entered a dedicated channel" as shown in interface 200A to prompt the user.

[0045] When creating a media channel, electronic device 110 can obtain channel configuration information via the channel creation interface. The channel configuration information indicates at least one topic determined based on user input. As shown in FIG2A , electronic device 110 can receive user input via input control 220. Input control 220 can be any suitable type of control for inputting information and providing candidate topics based on the input information. Alternatively, user input can be input to electronic device 110 by the user selecting a portion of the information displayed in the channel creation interface.

[0046] In some embodiments, when acquiring channel configuration information, based on the user's input information, the electronic device 110 presents a group of candidate topics in the channel creation interface, and determines the configuration information based on the user's selection of the first topic in the group of candidate topics. The user's input information can be key information related to the candidate topics, such as text or voice. In Figure 2A, taking the input information as text as an example, the interface 200A can display words such as "Generate a media recommendation information stream exclusively for you based on the keywords you provide" to prompt the user to create a media channel by providing keywords. In addition, relevant prompt information can also be displayed in the input control 220, such as "Enter any keyword and select your recommended content".

[0047] As shown in Figure 2B, after the electronic device 110 receives the keyword "XXX" input by the user through the input control 212, it can present a theme recommendation page 230 in the channel creation interface. The theme recommendation page 230 can be a window, a panel, or a specific display area in the interface, etc. A group of candidate topics obtained based on the user input information can be displayed in the theme recommendation page 230. In Figure 2B, the electronic device 110 presents a group of candidate topics 240 in the theme recommendation page 230 based on the keyword "XXX" input by the user, which includes multiple topics. Regarding the number of topics displayed on the theme recommendation page 230, the electronic device 110 can display the remaining topics by receiving the user's sliding operation.

[0048] For the group of candidate topics 240 , the electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of at least one topic therein, and determine channel configuration information based on the selected at least one topic.

[0049] In some embodiments, based on the user's selection of at least one topic, the electronic device 110 may present at least one tag corresponding to the selected at least one topic in the channel configuration interface. As shown in Figure 2B, based on the four topics selected by the user, four corresponding tags 250-1 to 250-4 (which may be individually or collectively referred to as tags 250) may be presented in the interface 200B. If the number of topics selected by the user is greater than 4, that is, the number of tags 250 is greater than 4, the electronic device 110 may display subsequent tags 250 in the area where the tags 250 are located by receiving the user's sliding operation. As an example, in Figure 2B, based on the horizontal layout of multiple tags 250, the user's sliding operation may be, for example, a horizontal sliding operation. The arrangement and display quantity of the tags 250 may be based on actual conditions.

[0050] In some embodiments, based on a first preset operation on a target tag in at least one tag, presentation of the target tag is stopped. Accordingly, the channel configuration information is updated so that the channel configuration information no longer indicates a target topic corresponding to the target tag. The first preset operation includes, but is not limited to, a delete operation.

[0051] Continuing with FIG2B , in the channel creation interface, for each tag 250, an indicator corresponding to a first preset operation, such as a delete indicator, may be displayed. The delete indicator may be any suitable type of indicator for providing a user with the ability to perform a delete operation. For example, in FIG2B , the delete indicator may be an "X" indicator.

[0052] After receiving the user's first preset operation on one or more target tags 250, the electronic device 110 immediately does not display the one or more target tags 250 on the channel creation interface, indicating that the user has given up selecting the topics corresponding to the one or more target tags 250. Accordingly, based on the change in the topic selected by the user, the electronic device 110 updates the channel configuration information so that the channel configuration information no longer indicates the target topics corresponding to the one or more target tags 250.

[0053] In some embodiments, when acquiring channel configuration information, electronic device 110 may further display a set of preset themes on the channel creation interface. The set of preset themes is determined based on reference information associated with the user, and the configuration information is determined based on the user's selection of a second theme in the set of preset themes. In some embodiments, the reference information may be information associated with historical browsing content.

[0054] 2C , based on the reference information associated with the user, the electronic device 110 may display a set of preset themes 260. The set of preset themes 260 may include a plurality of theme names and corresponding image identifiers.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2D, the electronic device 110 can receive a user's selection of at least one preset theme in the group of preset themes 260. Assuming that the electronic device 110 receives four preset themes in the group of preset themes 260, namely theme 260-1, theme 260-2, theme 260-3, and theme 260-4, an indicator of the selection completion, such as a "√" indicator, can be displayed in the channel creation interface. In some embodiments, for the preset theme selected by the user, the electronic device 110 can also present at least one tag 250 corresponding to the selected at least one preset theme in the channel configuration interface. In some embodiments, based on the first preset operation on the target tag 250 in at least one tag 250, the electronic device 110 can also stop presenting the target tag 250 and update the channel configuration information accordingly, so that the channel configuration information no longer indicates the target theme corresponding to the target tag 250. In this example, for the method of presenting and stopping the presentation of the tag 250, please refer to the relevant content discussed above and will not be repeated here.

[0056] Based on this, the at least one theme indicated by the channel configuration information may include a theme determined based on user input information and / or a theme determined based on user selection of a preset theme.

[0057] Furthermore, based on the channel configuration information, electronic device 110 can create a target media channel. As shown in Figures 2B and 2D , based on the final target theme corresponding to target tag 250 ultimately determined by the user, electronic device 110 can receive the user's selection of a generate button 222 and create a target media channel based on the final target theme. Figure 2E shows a generation interface 200E, which can display a message such as "Generating your exclusive channel" to prompt the user that a target media channel that meets the user's specific needs is currently being generated.

[0058] The following further describes an example interaction process with reference to Figures 3A to 3C. Figures 3A to 3C illustrate example interfaces 300A to 300C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 300A to 300C may be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1. Interfaces 300A to 300C are all viewing interfaces for a target media channel. Interface 300A may be the initial viewing interface of the target media channel when it is generated.

[0059] As shown in Figures 3A to 3C, electronic device 110 may present viewing interfaces 300A to 300C of a target media channel, and viewing interfaces 300A to 300C may provide media content 310 associated with at least one topic. Media content 310 may include, for example, video, audio, images, text, and the like, and may be displayed in viewing interfaces 300A to 300C in a single-column, dual-column, or immersive format.

[0060] In some embodiments, the current user is associated with multiple media channels, including a target media channel and at least one other media channel, and the viewing interface of the target media channel is a first viewing interface. Furthermore, in response to receiving a second preset operation associated with the first viewing interface, electronic device 110 switches to a second viewing interface displaying the first media channel among the at least one other media channel, and the second viewing interface provides media content associated with a corresponding topic corresponding to the first media channel.

[0061] To meet the user's need to view media content of various themes, embodiments of the present disclosure support the user to create multiple media channels through the electronic device 110. To provide the user with a good viewing experience on each media channel, embodiments of the present disclosure support the user to switch between multiple media channels so that the current viewing interface primarily presents the media content of one media channel.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second preset operation may include, but is not limited to, a sliding operation associated with a preset direction in the first viewing interface, or a selection operation on an interface element corresponding to the first media channel.

[0063] For example, when a user switches between multiple media channels, they can do so by sliding. For example, when the viewing interface displays media content of a current media channel, the electronic device 110 can receive a left swipe from the user to display media content of the next media channel, or receive a right swipe from the user to display media content of the previous media channel.

[0064] For example, the user can directly switch to the media channel to be viewed by selecting an interface element of the media channel to be viewed. The interface element can be any appropriate type of element such as an image logo, a text logo, etc. for supporting the user's selection operation.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 displays identification information of multiple media channels in a first viewing interface and a second viewing interface, wherein the first identification information of the target media channel is highlighted in the first viewing interface, and the second identification information of the first media channel is highlighted in the second viewing interface.

[0066] As shown in Figures 3A to 3C, the first viewing interfaces 300A to 300C of the target media channel each display identification information for multiple media channels, including first identification information 320 for the current target media channel, as well as second identification information 321 and identification information 322 for two other media channels. To facilitate the user's direct identification of topics related to the current media channel, the identification information of the current media channel can be highlighted. For example, the first identification information 320 of the current target media channel is highlighted compared to the second identification information 321 and identification information 322 of the two other media channels. In some embodiments, the identification information may include an image identifier.

[0067] In some embodiments, based on a third preset operation associated with the viewing interface, electronic device 110 presents the editing interface and adjusts the channel configuration information corresponding to the target media channel based on the user operation received on the editing interface. The third preset operation may include one or more operations of any appropriate type that cause the editing interface to be presented.

[0068] For example, in the initial viewing interface 300A of FIG3A , electronic device 110 can present a viewing interface 300B as shown in FIG3B by receiving a user's pull-down operation on the top of the interface. Furthermore, in interface 300B, an edit entry 330 can be displayed. Electronic device 110 can present an edit interface 340 as shown in FIG3C by receiving a user's click operation on edit entry 330. Edit interface 340 can include at least one edit option, allowing the user to adjust the channel configuration information corresponding to the target media channel based on the user's operation on the edit option.

[0069] In some embodiments, adjusting the channel configuration information corresponding to the target media channel includes at least one of the following: adjusting at least one theme corresponding to the target media channel; adjusting the text identifier of the target media channel; and adjusting the image identifier of the target media channel.

[0070] As shown in Figure 3C, the editing options in the editing interface 340 may include, for example, an "adjust keywords" option, thereby adjusting at least one theme corresponding to the target media channel. The "adjust keywords" option may also be displayed in the adjustment entry 350 shown in Figures 3A and 3B, so that the user can adjust the theme corresponding to the target media channel more quickly. In Figure 3C, the editing options may also include, for example, a "modify name" option, thereby adjusting the text logo of the target media channel. The editing options may also include, for example, a "change cover" option, thereby adjusting the image logo of the target media channel. In addition, the editing options may also include, for example, an "edit parameters" option, thereby appropriately editing the media content of the target media channel. The editing options may also include, for example, a "delete this channel" option, thereby deleting the current target media channel.

[0071] In some embodiments, the channel configuration information is first channel configuration information, the channel creation interface is a first channel creation interface, and based on the selection of the add entry in the viewing interface, the electronic device 110 presents a second channel creation interface and creates a second media channel based on the second channel configuration information obtained through the second channel creation interface.

[0072] As shown in Figures 3A to 3C, the first viewing interfaces 300A to 300C of the target media channel each display an add entry 360. Through the add entry 360, the user can create a new media channel quickly and conveniently.

[0073] Based on the interaction process described above, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support users in customizing media channels on specific topics, thereby improving the efficiency of users in acquiring multimedia content.

[0074] The following further describes an example interaction process with reference to Figures 4A to 4C. Figures 4A to 4C illustrate example interfaces 400A to 400C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 400A to 400C may be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1. Interfaces 400A to 400C may be presented by the first user's application 120, while the channel creation interface and the created media channel viewing interface in the above-described embodiments may be presented by the second user's application 120.

[0075] As shown in Figures 4A to 4C, the electronic device 110 presents a first interface 400A associated with the first user, and the first interface 400A includes content items associated with the target media channel created by the second user. Based on the selection of the content items, the electronic device 110 presents a second interface 400B and an interface 400C of the target media channel, and the second interface 400B and the interface 400C display media content 310 associated with at least one theme, where the at least one theme is determined based on the channel configuration information associated with the second user.

[0076] As shown in Figure 4A, assuming that a first user is browsing media content 410 on a first interface 400A and sees a content item 411 about a media channel created by a second user, electronic device 110 can receive the first user's selection of the content item 411 and then present the media content 310 and identification information 320 of the media channel created by the second user, as shown in interface 400B of Figure 4B. On interface 400B, electronic device 110 can accept the first user's upward swipe operation and then present interface 400C as shown in Figure 4C.

[0077] In some embodiments, the content item 411 indicates at least one of the following: a text identifier of a target media channel; an image identifier of the target media channel; descriptive information about at least one topic; and interactive information about the target media channel.

[0078] Exemplarily, the text identifier of the target media channel may be, for example, a related identifier indicating that the media content belongs to the media channel of the second user. The image identifier may be, for example, a partial picture or partial content of a picture of the media content as a picture in the target media channel, or a specific video frame or partial content of a frame in the video of the media content as a video, or a specific picture or partial content of a picture in the atlas of the media content as an atlas, and so on. The descriptive information of at least one topic may be displayed by sliding the image identifier of the target media channel. The interactive information about the target media channel may include, for example, related information such as the number of likes, favorites, and reposts of the target media channel.

[0079] In some embodiments, the second interface of the target media channel includes an interactive portal. Based on the first user's selection of the interactive portal, the electronic device 110 associates the target media channel with the first user.

[0080] As shown in Figures 4B to 4C, interfaces 400B and 400C display an interactive entrance 420, which allows the first user to directly add the second user's target media channel as the first user's personal media channel through the entrance 420, so that the first user can switch to the target media channel in the content viewing interface.

[0081] Based on the interaction process described above, embodiments of the present disclosure can support browsing media channels created by other users, thereby improving the efficiency of content sharing.
