[0024] Various example implementations of the scheme are described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example Environment

[0026] FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in FIG. 1, the example environment 100 can include an electronic device 110.

[0027] In this example environment 100, the electronic device 110 can run an application 120 that supports interface interaction. The application 120 can be any suitable type of application for interface interaction, examples of which can include, but are not limited to, a video application, a social application, or other suitable application. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0028] In the environment 100 of FIG. 1, if the application 120 is in an active state, the electronic device 110 can present, through the application 120, an interface 150 for supporting interface interaction.

[0029] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with a server 130 to implement the provision of services to 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 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 game device, or any combination thereof, including an accessory or peripheral device 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.).

[0030] The server 130 can be a standalone physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud service, cloud database, cloud computing, cloud function, cloud storage, network service, cloud communication, middleware service, domain name service, security service, content distribution network, and basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platform. 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. The server 130 can provide background services for the application 120 in the electronic device 110 that supports content presentation.

[0031] A communication connection can be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection can be established by wired or wireless means. The communication connection can include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a universal serial bus connection, a wireless fidelity connection, and the like, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this regard. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 can achieve signaling interaction through the communication connection therebetween.

[0032] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only, without implying any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0033] Example Interaction

[0034] An example interaction process according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] FIGS. 2A-2H illustrate example interfaces 200A-200H according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The interfaces 200A-200H can be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in FIG. 1.

[0036] FIG. 2A illustrates a play interface 200A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2A, the interface 200A can be used to play an information stream 202. Such an information stream 202 may, for example, include one or more media contents pushed for the current user.

[0037] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also present prompt information 204 associated with the first virtual object (e.g., object three) in the interface 200A. In some embodiments, such prompt information 204 may, for example, include description information 206 about the first virtual object, such as visual image content, text description content, and the like.

[0038] In some embodiments, such a first virtual object can be, for example, a virtual object previously created by the user, or a virtual object added by the user and published by another user. Alternatively, such a first virtual object can also include a virtual object that is not yet associated with the user. The creation process of a virtual object will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2G-2H.

[0039] Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, the prompt information 204 can also include an application entry 208 associated with the first virtual object. Upon receiving a selection of the application entry 208, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 200B as shown in FIG. 2B. The interface 200B is also referred to as an information stream play page. In some embodiments, in the case that the first virtual object is not previously associated with the user, the electronic device 110 can associate the first virtual object to the user based on the selection of the application entry 208.

[0040] Unlike the interface 200A, the interface 200B can play a first information stream 210 corresponding to the first virtual object. The first information stream 210 can include one or more media contents determined based on the first virtual object.

[0041] As an example, the first information stream 210 can be generated based on one or more object attributes of the first virtual object. Such object attributes can include description information about different aspects of the first virtual object. Such object attributes can be initialized accordingly based on the creation information of the first virtual object, and can be updated accordingly based on the user’s interaction with the first information stream 210.

[0042] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also display a set of visual elements 212 in the interface 200B. Such a set of visual elements can include visual identifiers corresponding to a set of virtual objects associated with the current user.

[0043] As an example, the electronic device 110 can display a first visual element (e.g., the visual identifier of object three) corresponding to the first information stream 210 in a first style to indicate that the currently played information stream 210 corresponds to the first virtual object indicated by the first visual element, i.e., “object three”. Additionally, the electronic device 110 can also display visual elements corresponding to other virtual objects in a second style.

[0044] In some embodiments, the display priority of the first style is higher than that of the second style. For example, the visual identifier of the first virtual object can have a larger display area, a higher display brightness, a lower transparency, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support the user to switch the information stream playing page to play information streams corresponding to other virtual objects. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may, for example, receive a swiping operation of the user in the interface 200B. As an example, such a swiping operation can be a swiping in a preset direction (e.g., left swiping) corresponding to the virtual object “object four”.

[0046] Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 2C, the electronic device 110 can switch the information stream playing page to play a second information stream 214 corresponding to a second virtual object (i.e., object four). In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can support the user to obtain different information streams by switching virtual objects (which can also be referred to as virtual identities), thereby improving the efficiency of information obtaining.

[0047] Further, as shown in FIG. 2C, the electronic device 110 can also update the set of visual elements 212 accordingly. For example, the electronic device 110 can switch to display visual elements corresponding to the second information stream 214 in a first style, e.g., the visual identifier of the second virtual object.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also support switching virtual objects through other appropriate manners. As an example, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also receive a selection of the user on a visual element in the set of visual elements corresponding to the second information stream 214, thereby switching to play the second information stream 214.

[0049] With reference back to FIG. 2B, the electronic device 110 can also provide a viewing entry 216 in the information stream playing page. Further, upon receiving a selection on the viewing entry 216, the electronic device 110 can trigger a viewing request and display an interface 200D as shown in FIG. 2D. The interface 200D can also be referred to as an object viewing page.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can display object information of a set of virtual objects associated with the current user in the object viewing page. As shown in FIG. 2D, the electronic device 110 can display object information of a first virtual object 220 (e.g., identity 3). Such object information may, for example, include a visual identifier (e.g., a visual image) of the corresponding virtual object, and / or a description text (e.g., a text label or introduction, etc.).

[0051] As shown in FIG. 2E, the electronic device 110 can also display object information of a second virtual object 224 (e.g., identity four) in the object viewing page based on a preset operation (e.g., a swiping operation or a clicking operation, etc.) of the user.

[0052] Further, the electronic device 110 can also provide an application entry 222. Upon receiving a selection of the application entry 222, the electronic device 110 may, for example, present the interface 200C as shown in FIG. 2C accordingly to switch the information stream play page to play the second information stream 214 corresponding to the second virtual object 224.

[0053] In some embodiments, in addition to the view entry 212, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also provide a view entry corresponding to the object view page in other appropriate interfaces, windows or panels. As an example, the electronic device 110 may, for example, provide a view entry corresponding to the object view in a control panel associated with the information stream play page to provide a stable revisit entry for the user.

[0054] As an example, the electronic device 110 may, for example, trigger the display of the control panel based on a specific operation (e.g., a long-press operation) of the user on the preset navigation tab.

[0055] Further, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also present the interface 200F as shown in FIG. 2F based on a preset operation in the object view page. In some embodiments, the interface 200F may, for example, display virtual objects 226 created and published by other users. For example, the electronic device 110 may, for example, display description information of the virtual objects 226, such as visual identifiers, text description contents, etc.

[0056] Further, the electronic device 110 may, for example, associate the virtual object 226 to the user based on a selection of the virtual object 226 by the user. For example, the electronic device 110 may, for example, receive a selection of a collection button associated with the virtual object 226 by the user and may, for example, associate the virtual object 226 to the current user accordingly.

[0057] As another example, in the case where the virtual object 226 is selected, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also receive a selection of the application entry 222 and may, for example, associate the virtual object 226 to the user and may, for example, switch the information stream play page to play the information stream corresponding to the virtual object 226.

[0058] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure may, for example, further implement the sharing of virtual objects, thereby improving the efficiency of information sharing and interaction.

[0059] The process of creating a virtual object will be further described below in connection with FIGS. 2G and 2H. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, for example, receive a selection of the creation entry 218 as shown in FIG. 2B or a creation entry provided in other appropriate interfaces and may, for example, display the interface 200G as shown in FIG. 2G accordingly. The interface 200G may, for example, also be referred to as an object creation page.

[0060] As shown in Fig. 2G, the electronic device 110 can acquire configuration information about the virtual object to be created via the interface 200G, and can accordingly create the corresponding virtual object.

[0061] As shown in Fig. 2G, the electronic device 110 can provide a set of preset labels 230, and can receive user selection of one or more preset labels 230 to determine the configuration information. In some embodiments, such preset labels 230 can be indicative of different attributes of the virtual object.

[0062] Additionally, the electronic device 110 can also input a control 228 to receive a text prompt input by the user as the configuration information. Such text prompt may, for example, include textual description content for describing the virtual object to be created.

[0063] Additionally, the electronic device 110 can also provide a configuration control 232 to indicate the publication attribute of the virtual object to be created, e.g., whether it is only available to the current user, or available to all users.

[0064] For example, in the case where the configuration control 232 is not selected, the created virtual object will be limited to the current user only. In contrast, the created virtual object may, for example, be pushed to other users for collection or use by other users.

[0065] Additionally, the electronic device 110 can also provide a button 234 to support generation of the virtual object based on random configuration information.

[0066] It should be appreciated that, in addition to the specific configuration information described above, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also receive other suitable types of configuration information, e.g., image material, video material, text material, etc., to configure different aspects of the attributes of the virtual object.

[0067] Further, upon completion of the input of the configuration information, the electronic device 110 can trigger generation of the corresponding virtual object based on user selection of the button 238. It should be appreciated that any suitable machine learning technique can be used to generate the virtual object based on the configuration information, examples of which can include, but are not limited to, various generative machine learning techniques.

[0068] As shown in Fig. 2H, the electronic device 110 can also display a preview interface 200H of the generated virtual object 240. For example, the electronic device 110 can display the textual description content, visual image, etc. of the virtual object 240 in the preview interface 200H.

[0069] Further, the electronic device 110 can complete the generation of the virtual object 240 based on further triggering of the button 238, and can display a information stream playing page corresponding to the virtual object 240 accordingly to play the information stream corresponding to the virtual object 240.

[0070] Based on the above described process, in one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure can support a user to obtain different information streams by switching virtual objects, thereby improving the efficiency of information acquisition. In another aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure can also support a user to create and add corresponding virtual objects, thereby supporting the acquisition of different information streams, thereby improving the management efficiency of information streams and the quality of acquired information.
