[0025] Based on the above manner, embodiments of this disclosure can utilize the virtual object corresponding to the live party to process the interaction message of the user in the live process, thereby improving the efficiency of message processing and enhancing the interactive experience of the user.

[0026] Various example implementations of the scheme are described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example Environment

[0028] FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of this disclosure can be implemented. As shown in FIG. 1, the example environment 100 can include an electronic device 110.

[0029] In this example environment 100, the electronic device 110 can run an application 120 for providing and watching media content. The application 120 can be any suitable type of application for providing and watching media content, examples of which can include but are not limited to: an online video application, a live application. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices. The user 140 can be, for example, a user providing live content (also referred to as a host), a user watching live (also referred to as a spectator).

[0030] In the environment 100 of FIG. 1, if the application 120 is in an active state, the electronic device 110 can present a live interface 150 through the application 120.

[0031] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable provisioning of services of the application 120. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal including a mobile handset, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media player, a multimedia tablet, a palmtop computer, a portable gaming terminal, a VR / AR device, a Personal Communication System (PCS) terminal, 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 electronic book device, a game device, or any combination thereof, including an accessory or peripheral device for any of the foregoing, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface to a user (such as “wearable” circuitry, etc.).

[0032] The server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing 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 basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 130 may, for example, include a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example Interaction

[0037] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be hereinafter described with continuous reference to the drawings. FIG. 2A illustrates an example interface 200A (also referred to as a live streaming interface), which can be provided by an electronic device 110 associated with a user 140 (e.g., a spectator user) of a live streaming room, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 2A, the interface 200A can include an interaction area 205 for presenting interaction messages associated with the live streaming content. As an example, such interaction messages can include comment messages, gift messages, etc.

[0039] Taking FIG. 2A as an example, the electronic device 110 can acquire an interaction message (e.g., a comment message) input by a user via an interaction control 220. Further, such an interaction message 210 can be presented in the interaction area 205 of the interface 200A, for example.

[0040] In some scenarios, such an interaction message 210 (e.g., a comment message) can not be responded in time by a live streaming party (e.g., a host). According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the live streaming party can configure a corresponding virtual object for assisting the live streaming process, for example.

[0041] In some embodiments, such a virtual object can be created based on configuration operations of the live streaming party. In some scenarios, such a virtual object can also be referred to as a digital avatar, a virtual avatar, etc.

[0042] As an example, the live streaming party can create such a virtual object by configuring appearance information, setting information, knowledge information, etc. In some examples, such a virtual object can be configured to have the ability to have a conversation based on the configuration information. Such an ability can be implemented based on a suitable machine learning model (e.g., a language model), for example.

[0043] As an example, the live streaming party can generate a visual appearance of a virtual object by uploading a set of images. Additionally, the live streaming party can also configure the conversation ability of the virtual object by inputting role setting information and / or uploading knowledge information, for example. Such role setting information can include text prompts for describing identity settings, conversation styles, etc. of the virtual object, for example. Further, the live streaming party can also associate the created virtual object with a live streaming scenario to support enabling the virtual object in live streaming interactions.

[0044] Further, the live streaming party may, for example, configure one or more virtual objects enabled in the current live streaming event between the start of the live streaming event. Further, the virtual object may generate a response message 215 to the interactive message 210 of the user. As shown in FIG. 2A, the response message 215 may, for example, be presented in the interactive area 205 accordingly. In some other examples, the response message 215 may, for example, also be provided based on other appropriate manners, e.g., a pop-up message, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, in response to the interactive message 210 being determined as being associated with the target topic, the virtual object may be triggered to generate and provide the corresponding response message 215. For example, the live streaming content may be content related to a product promotion, and the target topic may be a topic related to product consultation.

[0046] In some scenarios, such target topic may, for example, include a preset topic. Alternatively or additionally, such target topic may, for example, be associated with the live streaming content. For example, such target topic may be determined based on information of a theme of the live streaming event, a category of the live streaming event, etc. Alternatively or additionally, such target topic may, for example, also be configured by the live streaming party or an associated user of the live streaming party (e.g., an administrator of the live streaming room). For example, the anchor party may configure one or more specific topics to enable the virtual object to handle interactive messages matching such specific topics in the live streaming interaction.

[0047] Further, the virtual object may, for example, generate response content to the interactive message 210 by utilizing a corresponding language model, and may trigger the electronic device 110 to present the corresponding response message 215. The generation of such response content may be based on configuration information of the virtual object (e.g., role setting information, knowledge information, etc.), context information associated with the interactive message 210, etc., and the present disclosure does not intend to limit the specific generation process of the response message 215.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present an indication element associated with the response message 215 to represent that the response message 215 is provided by the virtual object. For example, such indication element may include an identification corresponding to the virtual object, or a preset label corresponding to the response message 215, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2A, the response message 215 may indicate a reference to the interactive message 210. For example, the response message 215 may present content of the corresponding interactive message 210.

[0050] Alternatively or additionally, the response message 215 may, for example, also indicate a reference to a user (also referred to as a target user) who sent the interactive message 210. For example, the response message 215 can indicate the reference to the user by mentioning a combination of an identifier (e.g., @) and a username.

[0051] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also present the response message 215 according to a first message style. Such a message style may, for example, indicate a font style, a font color, a font size, a style of a message box, a background color, a transparency, and the like of the corresponding message 215. In some embodiments, such a first message style may, for example, be different from a second message style of other interactive messages. For example, the display style of the response message 215 can be different from the display style of interactive messages from other users.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2B, in response to the number of historical response messages provided by the virtual object for the user being greater than a threshold, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also present a prompt message 225 associated with the virtual object in the interface 200B.

[0053] As an example, when the virtual object has provided more than 3 response messages in the interactive region 205, the electronic device 110 may, for example, present the prompt message 225. In some embodiments, such a prompt message 225 may, for example, be associated with the display of an access portal (e.g., the “avatar” button shown in FIG. 2B) associated with the virtual object.

[0054] In some embodiments, the content of such a prompt message 225 may, for example, be generated based on the historical interactions of the user with the virtual object, i.e., the historical interactive messages and the corresponding response messages.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also receive a selection of the response message 215 or the prompt message 225 by the user, and accordingly present a conversation window 230 as shown in FIG. 2C. For example, the electronic device 110 may, for example, display the conversation window 230 in response to a preset operation (e.g., a tapping operation) on the response message 215 or the prompt message 225.

[0056] In some embodiments, the conversation window 230 may, for example, correspond to a conversation between the current user and the virtual object. As shown in FIG. 2C, the electronic device 110 may, for example, present the historical interaction messages of the user with the virtual object in the conversation window 230. For example, the electronic device 110 may, for example, present a conversation message 235 corresponding to the interactive message 210, and present a conversation message 240 corresponding to the response message 215.

[0057] Further, the conversation window 230 can also include an input control 245 to input a new message in the conversation. Accordingly, the electronic device 110 can present, in the conversation window 230, reply content generated by the virtual object for the new message. In some embodiments, such reply content can be generated based on a historical context in the conversation window 230. As an example, the historical context can include a multi-round historical interaction of the current user with the virtual object. In some embodiments, such new message and / or reply message will not be shown in the interaction area 205.

[0058] Based on the above manners, embodiments of the present disclosure can process the interactive message of the user in the live streaming process by the virtual object corresponding to the live streaming party, thereby improving the efficiency of message processing and enhancing the interactive experience of the user.

[0059] The above describes an example interaction of showing the response message generated by the virtual object in connection with FIGS. 2A-2C. In some embodiments, embodiments of the present disclosure may, for example, also support the user to actively initiate the interaction with the virtual object in the live streaming process.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 3C, in the live streaming interface 300A, the electronic device 110 provides an interaction entry 310 in the interaction control 305, for example. Taking FIG. 3A as an example, such interaction control 305 may, for example, include a comment control of the live streaming interface 300A.

[0061] As an example, the electronic device 110 can receive a selection of the interaction entry 310 and accordingly present a conversation window 315 as shown in FIG. 3B to support the user’s dialogue interaction with the virtual object in the conversation window 315. For example, the user can input a request message through an input control 320 in the conversation window 315. Accordingly, the electronic device 110 can show a response message from the virtual object in the conversation window 315.

[0062] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also receive a selection of the input control 305 as shown in FIG. 3A and present an interaction control 325 as shown in FIG. 3C. The interaction control 325 may, for example, correspond to a message input control.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 3C, the electronic device 110 can also provide an access entry 330 associated with the virtual object in the interaction control 325. Similarly, upon receiving a selection of the access entry 330, the electronic device 110 can accordingly present the conversation window 315 as shown in FIG. 3B to support the user’s dialogue interaction with the virtual object in the conversation window 315.

[0064] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can also support the user to actively initiate the interaction with the virtual object in the interactive process, thereby improving the message interaction efficiency in the live streaming process and improving the information acquisition efficiency.
