[0015] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0023] Example Environment

[0024] Referring first to Figure 1, which schematically illustrates an example environment 100 in which exemplary implementations according to this disclosure may be implemented.

[0025] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. In this example environment 100, a target application 120 is installed on an electronic device 110. A user 102 can interact with the target application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or an attached device of the electronic device 110.

[0026] Target application 120 may be an application capable of providing services related to media content generation to user 102, including the creation (e.g., shooting and / or editing), publishing, browsing, and so on of media content. In this document, "media content" can be in various forms, including video, audio, images, image sets, text, and so on.

[0027] For example, electronic device 110 can edit received raw media material through target application 120. In some embodiments, the raw media material may be media material input by user 102. In some other embodiments, the raw media material may also be media material acquired by electronic device 110 based on instructions from user 102 via an acquisition device. In some embodiments, the acquisition device may be configured to be connected to electronic device 110. In some other embodiments, the acquisition device may also be integrated within electronic device 110.

[0028] In environment 100 of Figure 1, if the target application 120 is active, the electronic device 110 can present page 140 of the target application 120 to the user 102. Page 140 can be various types of pages that the target application 120 can provide, such as media content presentation pages, content creation pages, content editing pages, etc.

[0029] In some embodiments, at least some of the functionality of the target application 120 may be implemented based on model 131. Model 131 may, for example, be deployed in server 130. For instance, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to the target application 120. That is, during the operation of the target application 120, the capabilities of one or more models (e.g., model 131) may be invoked.

[0030] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry). Server 130 is any type of computing system / server capable of providing computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, etc.

[0031] It should be understood that the structure and function of environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0032] Example interactive process of media content generation

[0033] Figures 2A to 2F illustrate schematic diagrams of exemplary interfaces for interaction according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The interaction process of embodiments of the present disclosure is described below with reference to Figures 2A to 2F. This process can be implemented at least in part at the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1. For ease of discussion, the process will be described with reference to the environment 100 of Figure 1.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2A, the electronic device 110 can display an editing interface 200A of the target application 120. Through this editing interface 200A, the electronic device 110 can acquire reference media content. For example, the reference media content may include images and videos, etc. An entry point 210 for receiving reference media content can be displayed in the editing interface 200A. The electronic device 110 can receive input of reference media content through the entry point 210.

[0035] Electronic device 110 can receive a media content generation request that indicates the selection of a virtual object corresponding to a user. Such a virtual object may correspond to a target user (e.g., user X) and may be created based on the target user's configuration operations.

[0036] In some embodiments, the virtual object corresponds to a visual representation model created based on a set of media content associated with the user.

[0037] In some scenarios, such virtual objects may also be referred to as virtual avatars or digital clones, which may be driven by machine learning models to have the ability to interact with other users, for example, through text, voice, or video. This disclosure is not intended to limit the specific ways in which virtual objects are constructed.

[0038] Electronic device 110 can provide target media content generated based on reference media content and visual description information associated with virtual objects.

[0039] In some embodiments, the visual description information includes model information corresponding to a visual representation model. In some other embodiments, the visual description information also includes descriptive information about the visual appearance of the virtual object and / or at least one type of media content associated with the virtual object. The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, various ways in which the electronic device 110 receives an instruction to select a virtual object corresponding to a user.

[0040] Electronic device 110 can receive instructions for selecting a virtual object corresponding to the user via an editing interface. As shown in FIG2A, the editing interface 200A presents a control 240 for enabling the virtual object corresponding to the user. If electronic device 110 receives a selection for control 240, electronic device 110 receives an instruction for selecting the virtual object corresponding to the user.

[0041] The editing interface 200A also includes a text input component 220. In this case, the media content generation request received by the electronic device 110 also indicates the descriptive text obtained via the text input component 220, and the generated target media content is also generated based on the descriptive text.

[0042] Furthermore, the editing interface 200A also includes a style input component 230, which can correspond to multiple preset styles. In this case, the media content generation request received by the electronic device 110 also indicates a target style determined via the style input component 230, and the generated target media content corresponds to the specified target style.

[0043] Figure 2B's editing interface 200B illustrates another embodiment where a user-corresponding virtual object can be enabled to generate target media content. As shown in Figure 2B, in the editing interface 200B, a control 250 for enabling a user-corresponding virtual object is presented at the entry point 210 for receiving reference media content. If the electronic device 110 receives a selection for the control 250, the electronic device 110 receives an instruction for selecting a user-corresponding virtual object. In this case, the reference media content obtained from the entry point 210 may correspond to the user themselves corresponding to the virtual object, or it may correspond to an object other than that user.

[0044] The editing interface 200B may also include a text input component 220. In this case, the media content generation request received by the electronic device 110 also indicates the descriptive text obtained via the text input component 220, and the generated target media content is also generated based on the descriptive text.

[0045] Furthermore, the editing interface 200B may also include a style input component 230, which can correspond to multiple preset styles. In this case, the media content generation request received by the electronic device 110 also indicates a target style determined via the style input component 230, and the generated target media content corresponds to the specified target style.

[0046] Figure 2C's editing interface 200C illustrates another embodiment where a virtual object corresponding to the user can be enabled to generate target media content. In this case, the electronic device 110 can present a selection entry 260 for the virtual object and other reference media content. That is, in addition to presenting a selection control 261 corresponding to the user's virtual object, selection controls (e.g., control 262) for other reference media content can also be presented. This other reference media content can be photos from the electronic device 110's album or reference media materials provided by the target application 120. The selected other reference media content can relate to the user corresponding to the virtual object or to other objects besides the user corresponding to the virtual object.

[0047] Similarly, the editing interface 200C may also include a text input component 220. In this case, the media content generation request received by the electronic device 110 also indicates descriptive text obtained via the text input component 220, and the generated target media content is also generated based on the descriptive text.

[0048] The descriptive text received by the text input component 220 of the editing interface 200A, 200B or 200C can be used to indicate the fusion method of the virtual object and the reference media content.

[0049] For example, if the acquired reference media content corresponds to the user corresponding to the virtual object, the description file can integrate the virtual object and the user corresponding to the virtual object into the target media content to be generated. For instance, the description text can indicate the environment, scene, and / or the user's actions, clothing, makeup, hairstyle, etc., presented in the target media content. As shown in Figure 2D, the target media content generated by integrating the virtual object and the user corresponding to the virtual object is presented in area 280 of the viewing interface 200D. This target media content presents elements corresponding to the virtual object, as well as elements from the description file and / or preset styles. The description file received and / or the selected style used to generate this target media content can also be presented in area 290 of the viewing interface 200D.

[0050] For example, if the obtained reference media content corresponds to an object other than the user corresponding to the virtual object, the description file can instruct that the virtual object and the other object be merged into the target media content to be generated. For example, the description text can indicate the environment, scene, and / or the actions, clothing, makeup, hairstyle, etc., of the virtual object and the other object besides the user. As shown in Figure 2E, the target media content generated by merging the virtual object and the other object besides the user is presented in area 281 of the viewing interface 200E. This target media content presents elements corresponding to the virtual object, as well as elements from the description file and / or preset styles. The description file received and / or the selected style used to generate this target media content can also be presented in area 290 of the viewing interface 200E.

[0051] It should be understood that, in some embodiments, the generation of media content may be implemented at least in part by server 130, for example by model 131 deployed on server 130. Electronic device 110 may provide determined media generation control information to server 130 and obtain media content generated based on the generation control information from server 130.

[0052] In some other embodiments, the model can determine the execution order of multiple processes based on the relevance of media generation control information to generate the media content. That is, the model can change the execution order based on the associations between multiple media styles involved in the media generation control information, so that multiple processes corresponding to multiple media styles can be executed in an optimal order.

[0053] The solutions of this application described above in conjunction with different embodiments can expand and enrich the ways of generating media content and further enhance the convenience of media content generation.

[0054] In some other embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present one or more candidate prompts based on text content (e.g., prompt words) received via the text input component 220. These candidate prompts may be text content expanded from the received text content to enrich the text content used for media content generation.

[0055] Electronic device 110 can receive recommendation requests for text content received via text input component 220. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 receives the recommendation request if it receives a trigger on a recommendation control. As shown in the editing interface 200F of FIG2F, if electronic device 110 receives a selection for text optimization control 223, it can determine the recommendation request for the received text content.

[0056] Upon receiving the recommendation request, the electronic device 110 may provide multiple candidate suggestions, for example, based on text content (e.g., prompt words) already received via the text input component 220. As shown in the editing interface 200F of FIG2F, the multiple candidate recommendation words 272 to 275 presented in the candidate suggestion word presentation area 270 may be generated based on text content (e.g., prompt word 271) already received via the text input component 220. If the electronic device 110 receives a selection for one of the multiple candidate recommendation words 272 to 275, the previously received text content can be updated to the selected candidate recommendation word.

[0057] Furthermore, it is also possible that multiple candidate prompts can be generated based on at least one reference material obtained via the material input component 210. Additionally, multiple candidate prompts can be generated together based on a virtual object corresponding to the user and the obtained at least one reference material.

[0058] In some embodiments, multiple candidate prompts can be generated based on the detection results of objects in at least one reference material. The object detection results indicate whether the at least one reference material includes objects of a predetermined type. For example, it may indicate whether the reference material presents subjects such as people, animals, or plants. If the reference material presents subjects such as people, animals, or plants, the multiple candidate prompts may relate to descriptions of how the user's virtual object blends with the subjects presented in the reference material, thereby enriching the media content to be generated.

[0059] It should be understood that multiple candidate prompts can be generated locally by electronic device 110. Alternatively, multiple candidate prompts can also be generated at least partially by server 130, for example, through model 131 deployed on server 130. Optimized recommendations for the text content received via text input component 220 can further improve the granularity of the prompts, thereby resulting in better media content generation.

[0071] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also receive the recommendation request in response to a triggering of a recommendation control in the text input component.
