[0030] FIG. 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 electronic device 110 has an application 120 installed therein. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or an attached device of the electronic device 110.

[0031] In some embodiments, the application 120 can be a content sharing application (e.g., a video application mainly for video sharing) capable of providing various services related to media items (also referred to as media content, media content items, content items, etc.) to the user 140, including browsing, commenting, forwarding, creating (e.g., shooting and / or editing), publishing, etc. of the media items.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface to the user (such as "wearable" circuitry, etc.). The server 130 can be various types of computing systems / servers capable of providing computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc.

[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] Example Environment

[0036] In a multi-user interactive application, multiple users can participate in an event with multiple groups of participants in the interactive application, such as a team battle type. An application environment according to one example implementation of the present disclosure is described with reference to FIG. 1, which shows a block diagram of an application environment 100 according to one example implementation of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the interactive application 110 can be, for example, an application capable of providing audio and / or video live broadcast functions. For example, the interactive application 110 can provide a team battle event of a singing competition, a debate competition, etc. based on a live broadcast environment. And users can join different teams (e.g., Group A or Group B) to participate in the competition.

[0037] In the context of the present disclosure, a specific application environment of displaying object identifications will be described with an example of two groups of users participating in a team battle confrontation event. Herein, the objects can represent users in the interactive application 110, and the object identifications can represent identifications of the users, e.g., names, avatars, or live videos of the users participating in the event, etc. When the team battle confrontation event is implemented by means of a live audio function of the interactive application 110, the users can participate in the game by participating in the live mic-in, and the positions where the object identifications are located can be referred to as “mic positions”. Accordingly, the group A and the group B can belong to two different mic position camps, and are presented together in the camp area 120. In order to improve the distinguishability of the respective camps, the outlines (e.g., camp lines) of the respective camps can be set, so as to facilitate intuitive display of the grouping.

[0038] Hereinafter, an example implementation of the present disclosure will be described with an example of user identifications being presented as rectangular boxes. It should be understood that the user identifications can also be presented as hexagonal boxes to form a honeycomb-shaped camp, or the user identifications can also be presented as circles, triangles, etc. In the example implementation of the present disclosure, the camp lines of the group A and the group B can be line segments surrounding the user identifications of the respective groups. Exemplarily, the camp lines of the respective camps can be displayed in different colors in the page of the interactive application 110, so as to facilitate distinguishing the different camps.

[0039] For example, the camp line of the group A can be displayed in red (e.g., represented by a solid line in FIG. 1), and the camp line of the group B can be displayed in blue (e.g., represented by a dashed line in FIG. 1). Further, in order to more conveniently distinguish the users in the group A and the group B, the user identifications in the group A and the group B can also be presented in different display manners (e.g., different colors) in the page of the interactive application 110. For example, the users in the group A can be represented in red, and the users in the group B can be represented in blue in the camp area 120. However, users can quit the game, or new users can participate in the game, which can cause the number of users in the respective groups to change constantly. Alternatively and / or additionally, another group (e.g., the group C) can participate in the game.

[0040] However, the positions of the object identifications representing the groups of users are fixed (e.g. the layout presented by the rectangular frames in the camp area 120), and are limited to the positions of the object identifications in the current layout. When the camp information changes and there is a new layout, the explicitness of the camp information cannot be dynamically modified, and has to be re-adapted according to the original positions. Further, the identifications of the users in the current groups need to be re-drawn, and further the outline needs to be re-drawn. The outline includes the borders of the seats and the gaps between the borders, which results in the need to re-calculate the specific lines in the outline every time the re-drawing is performed. Further, when the seats are not regular grids but involve irregular shapes as shown in FIG. 1, the intersection points between the seat border extension lines and the seat borders need to be additionally determined, and the drawing process is complex and time-consuming. Thus, it is desirable to present the identifications of the users in the groups in a more flexible and efficient manner.

[0041] Summary of displaying object identifications

[0042] To at least partially address the deficiencies in the prior art, according to one example implementation of the present disclosure, a method for displaying object identifications is proposed. According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, the method for displaying object identifications can be implemented in a live application. A summary according to one example implementation of the present disclosure is described with reference to FIG. 2, which shows a block diagram 200 for displaying object identifications according to some implementations of the present disclosure.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of objects corresponding to a target event can be determined. According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, the target event can be a live confrontation event in a live application. The target event can be, for example, a team battle confrontation event provided by the interactive application 110 for a plurality of groups of users to participate in a live, such as a singing competition, a debate competition, etc. It should be understood that in such a target event, at least two groups of users compete. The objects can be users in the interactive application 110, and the type of the objects can be, for example, the group that the user belongs to, e.g. group A or group B, etc. The plurality of objects can include a first group of objects of a first type and a second group of objects of a second type. Each group of objects can include one or more objects. For example, the first group of objects can include 6 objects (e.g. object 1, object 2, object 3, object 4, object 5, object 7), and the second group of objects can include 2 objects (e.g. object 6, object 8).

[0044] Further, a plurality of object identifiers of the plurality of objects can be respectively presented in the first layer. According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, the object identifiers can be identifiers of the users participating in the live confrontation event. It should be appreciated that the identifiers herein can include, but are not limited to, the nicknames, avatars, videos of the users, and the like. For example, the videos can be videos of the users participating in the live confrontation event, and the like. Alternatively and / or additionally, the live interface of the interactive application 110 can include a plurality of layers, and the content in the camp region 120 can be displayed through the plurality of layers. In other words, the plurality of object identifiers of the plurality of objects can be respectively presented in the camp region 120 of the live interface through the first layer.

[0045] The first group of object identifiers of the first group of objects can be presented with a first display manner, and the second group of object identifiers of the second group of objects can be presented with a second display manner. The display manner for each group of object identifiers can include one or more dimensions of display manners, such as shape, color, brightness, and the like. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2, the first group of object identifiers and the second group of object identifiers can be presented in the display manner of rectangular frames. The first group of object identifiers and the second group of object identifiers can be presented in different colors, for example, the first group of object identifiers can be presented in blue, and the second group of object identifiers can be presented in red.

[0046] Further, a first group of sequences of visual elements 210 associated with the first group of object identifiers can be determined. Herein, the visual elements can include dots, or lines (e.g., straight line segments, or curved line segments) formed by a plurality of dots, and the like. For ease of description, more details of the present disclosure will be described below with the line segments as a specific example of the visual elements. It should be appreciated that although FIG. 2 exemplarily shows a specific presentation manner of the visual elements with the straight line segments, alternatively and / or additionally, the line segments can have different styles, such as wavy lines, dashed lines, dash-dot lines, single lines, double lines, and the like.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 2, the first group of sequences of visual elements can include a first group of sequences of line segments. The first group of sequences of line segments 210 can include at least a part of the boundaries of at least a part of the object identifiers in the first group of object identifiers, and the connecting lines between two boundaries of the at least a part of the boundaries. Taking FIG. 2 as an example, the letters A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, and the like represent the vertices of the object identifiers, respectively, and at this time, the first group of sequences of line segments 210 can include the A1B1 boundary and the A1D1 boundary of the object 1, the A2B2 boundary of the object 2, the A3B3 boundary and the B3C3 boundary and the C3D3 boundary of the object 3, and the like in the first group of objects. The first group of sequences of line segments 210 can further include the connecting line between the A1B1 boundary and the A2B2 boundary, i.e., the B1A2 line segment, the connecting line between the A2B2 boundary and the A3B3 boundary, i.e., the B2A3 line segment, and the like.

[0048] A second set of line segment sequences 220 associated with the second set of object identifiers can be determined, and the second set of line segment sequences 220 can include at least a portion of boundaries of at least a portion of the second set of object identifiers, and a line between two of the at least a portion of boundaries. Still taking FIG. 2 as an example, the second set of line segment sequences 220 can include the A6B6 boundary, the B6C6 boundary, the C6E6 boundary, the D6A6 boundary of the object 6 in the second set of objects, and the A8F8 boundary, the B8C8 boundary, the C8D8 boundary, the D8A8 boundary of the object 8. The second set of line segment sequences 220 can further include a line between the D6A6 boundary and the A8F8 boundary, the D6F8 line segment, a line between the C6E6 boundary and the B8C8 boundary, the E6B8 line segment.

[0049] Accordingly, the first set of line segment sequences 210 can be presented in the second layer 205, and the second set of line segment sequences 220 can be presented in the second layer 205. In other words, the first set of line segment sequences 210 of the first object identifiers and the second set of line segment sequences 220 of the second object identifiers can be presented in the camp region 120 through the second layer 205. Alternatively and / or additionally, the second layer 205 can be a view container as a carrier of the camp lines.

[0050] With the example implementation of the present disclosure, by adding the second layer for the drawing of the camp lines, the decoupling of the camp lines and the positions of the object identifiers is achieved, thereby improving the flexibility and expandability of displaying the object identifiers, and making the scheme applicable to most of the camp division scenarios based on interactive applications. Further, the scheme can improve the display efficiency of the camp division of the interactive applications, and reduce the latency, thereby reducing the resource consumption of the client devices.

[0051] Detailed process of displaying object identifiers

[0052] The above has described the display of the object identifiers according to one example implementation of the present disclosure. In the following, more details about the display of the object identifiers will be described. According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, the shape of the user identifier can include a rectangle, a hexagon, a triangle, a circle, etc. In this way, more rich visual information can be presented in the interactive application. For ease of description, in the following, only the rectangle will be taken as an example to describe the specific presentation process. In addition, since the way for displaying the first set of object identifiers is similar to the way for displaying the second set of object identifiers, in the following, the way for displaying the first set of object identifiers will be taken as the example implementation of the present disclosure.

[0053] According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, in determining the first set of line segment sequences 210, a point set can be determined based on the vertices of each of the first set of object identifiers and the second set of object identifiers. FIG. 3 illustrates a block diagram 300 for determining a point set according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, in determining the point set, the vertices of the rectangular box of each object identifier can be found. In such an example, each object identifier includes 4 vertices. For example, the vertices of the object identifier of Object 1 are Al, Bl, Cl, Dl, the vertices of the object identifier of Object 2 are A2, B2, C2, D2, and so on. Alternatively and / or additionally, the four vertex coordinates of the object identifier can be obtained through an API (application programming interface) exposed by a rendering engine (a flexible view for providing one prioritized display window for a large data set).

[0054] A first point sequence associated with the first set of object identifiers can be determined in the point set. Alternatively and / or additionally, the first point sequence associated with the first set of object identifiers can be determined based on a traversal or search of the point set. Illustratively, a depth-first search (DFS) algorithm can be utilized to traverse or search the points. Then, after the first point sequence is determined, consecutive points in the first point sequence can be connected to form the line segments in the first set of line segment sequences 210.

[0055] With example implementations of the present disclosure, by determining a point set based on the vertices of the object identifiers, and determining a first point sequence based on the point set to form a line segment sequence, the camp line can be found faster, the traversal efficiency in traversing the points can be improved, and thus the latency in rendering the camp line can be reduced.

[0056] According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, the case of irregular seats can be handled. Specifically, in response to determining that the extension line of the first boundary of the first object identifier of a first object in the plurality of objects intersects with the second boundary of the second object identifier of a second object in the plurality of objects, the point set can be updated based on the intersection point. FIG. 4 illustrates a block diagram 400 for updating a point set according to some implementations of the present disclosure.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 4, the extension line of the B4C4 boundary of the object identifier of Object 4 in the first set of objects intersects with the A7B7 boundary of the object identifier of Object 7, and the extension line of the D7A7 boundary of the object identifier of Object 7 intersects with the C4D4 boundary of the object identifier of Object 4. Similarly, Object 5 and Object 7 have intersection points F5 and F7. Thus, the point set can be updated based on the intersection point E7, the intersection point E4, the intersection point F5, and the intersection point F7. Specifically, the intersection points can be added to the point set to update the point set. At this time, the intersection points E7, E4, F5, and F7 are added to the point set. Alternatively and / or additionally, the points of intersection between the object identifiers can be obtained through an API.

[0058] In another example implementation, for the object identification that is not rectangular, the intersection points can also be included in the point set. It is to be noted that when the point set is first determined for the object identification that is not rectangular, the intersection points can be included in the point set, and subsequently, new intersection points can also be updated to the point set.

[0059] With the example implementation of the present disclosure, the problem of high complexity of the conventional camp line drawing is solved, the case where there is a gap between the object identifications can be effectively handled, the line connection effect is conveniently controlled, and the flexibility of drawing the camp line is improved.

[0060] According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, when determining the first point sequence, the first point can be selected from the point set, and the first point is a specified point in a first object identification in the first group of object identifications. Alternatively and / or additionally, the first point can be a top left corner vertex of an object identification in the first group of object identifications. With reference to FIG. 3, for example, the first points of the object identifications of object 1, object 2, object 3, object 4, object 5, and object 7 in the first group of objects can be A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, and A7, respectively. It is to be understood that the first point can also be specified as a vertex at other positions. For example, the first point can be a bottom left corner vertex, and so on.

[0061] Then, based on the first point, a plurality of second points can be determined in the point set, and based on the first point and the plurality of second points, the first point sequence is determined. When traversing or searching the points based on the point set, the plurality of second points can be determined according to a current first point of a current object identification in the first group of object identifications that is traversed. Subsequent second points can be determined in an iterative manner, for example, the second point can be taken as a new first point, and another second point can be determined based on the new first point, and so on.

[0062] With the example implementation of the present disclosure, by selecting the first point, for example, the top left corner vertex of the object identification as the starting point, and then traversing the vertices and intersection points of the object identification by the search algorithm. In combination with the camp information of the object identification, the connection of the camp line is performed. Each point passed is recorded, thereby reducing the search of repeated paths, saving the search time, and improving the search efficiency.

[0063] According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, when determining the plurality of second points, the first point can be added to the first point sequence as a head point of the first point sequence, and from the first point, a second point can be determined in the point set in a direction of at least one direction corresponding to the first point, and a distance between the first point and the second point satisfies a predetermined distance condition. Alternatively and / or additionally, the at least one direction can be two directions perpendicular to the direction in which the first point is traversed, and a direction in which the traversal is continued.

[0064] FIG. 5 shows a block diagram 500 of determining a point sequence in a traversal manner, according to some implementations of the present disclosure. The block diagram 500 includes a block diagram 510 of traversing to the A3 point and a block diagram 520 of traversing to the D7 point. In the block diagram 510, when traversing to the A3 point in a right direction along B2 to A3, the A3 point can be a first point at this time, and its corresponding at least one direction can include two directions perpendicular to the B2 to A3 direction, such as the upward and downward directions at A3. The at least one direction corresponding to A3 can also include a direction continuing forward from the traversal direction of B2 to A3, such as the direction of A3 to B3, i.e., the right direction at A3.

[0065] In the block diagram 520, when traversing to the D7 point in a left direction along C7 to D7, the D7 point can be a first point at this time, and its corresponding at least one direction can include two directions perpendicular to the C7 to D7 direction, such as the upward and downward directions at D7. The at least one direction corresponding to D7 can also include a direction continuing forward from the traversal direction of C7 to D7, such as the left direction at D7.

[0066] Alternatively and / or additionally, in the case that the display manner of the object identifiers in the camp area 120 is a rectangle (i.e., a square) with equal side lengths, and the object identifier layout (i.e., the placement position of the object identifiers) is uniform, the predetermined distance condition can include that the distance between the first point and the next point traversed is less than the distance between the corresponding vertices of adjacent object identifiers. For object identifiers displayed in other shapes, the predetermined distance condition can be specifically determined according to the specific shape and the layout of the object identifiers in the camp area 120.

[0067] Then, in response to determining that the second point satisfies the predetermined addition condition, the second point can be added to the first point sequence as a tail point of the first point sequence. Here, the predetermined addition condition includes that the second point is a point at the boundary of an object identifier in the first group of object identifiers, and the second point has not been added to the first point sequence. Alternatively and / or additionally, the predetermined addition condition can also include that the other points of the object identifier in which the first point is located are prioritized as the traversal points. According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, in response to determining that the second point does not satisfy the predetermined addition condition, the second point is searched in the point set in another direction of the at least one direction.

[0068] Continuing with the example of FIG. 5, in the block diagram 510, when the A3 point is reached and taken as the first point, both the B3 point in the right direction and the D3 point in the downward direction of the A3 point satisfy the predetermined distance condition and the predetermined addition condition. However, the connection of the A3 point and the B3 point can enclose the object 3 where they are located, while the connection of the A3 point and the D3 point will exclude the object 3, and thus, the B3 point is taken as the priority traversal point. In the block diagram 520, when the D7 point is reached as the first point, there is no point in the left direction and the downward direction of the D7 point that satisfies the predetermined distance and the predetermined addition condition. Thus, the A7 point in the upward direction of the D7 point is traversed. Since the A7 point satisfies the predetermined distance and the predetermined addition condition, the A7 point is determined as the second point.

[0069] With the example implementation of the present disclosure, by setting the predetermined distance and the predetermined addition condition, the points can be accurately traversed, the points in the first point sequence are valid, and the accurate drawing of the camp line is ensured.

[0070] According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, in response to determining that the tail point is different from the head point, the tail point is taken as the first point. Then, starting from the first point, a second point is searched in the point set along the direction corresponding to the first point, and the distance between the second point and the first point satisfies the predetermined distance condition. In response to determining that the second point satisfies the predetermined addition condition, the second point is added to the first point sequence as the tail point of the first point sequence. In other words, if it is determined that the current tail point is different from the head point, it means that the camp connection line based on the current traversal is not closed. At this time, the current tail point is taken as the first point, and the traversal is continued in the manner described above until the new tail point and the head point can form a closed curve.

[0071] With the example implementation of the present disclosure, by checking whether the tail point is the same as the head point, the closed loop of the line can be checked. Assuming that the line only includes one point, the information of the camp line also needs to be cancelled, thereby avoiding the problem of incomplete drawing of the line.

[0072] According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, in response to determining that the tail point is the same as the head point, the first point sequence is connected to form the first group of line segment sequences. In other words, if the current tail point is the same as the head point, the points in the first point sequence can be connected to form the first group of line segment sequences 210, and at this time, the outline of the first group of object identifiers is successfully determined.

[0073] FIG. 6 shows a block diagram 600 of forming the first group of line segment sequences according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, in the case of taking the A1 point as the head point, if it is determined that the tail point of the current traversal is the A1 point, the points in the first point sequence can be connected to form the first group of line segment sequences 210.

[0074] By connecting the start point and the end point of the line, the line can be closed loop, and the team battle camp can become a complete pattern. In this way, the distinction of each camp can be improved, so as to facilitate the differentiation of users in different camps.

[0075] According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, in response to determining that no second point meeting the predetermined addition condition is found in the at least one direction, the first point sequence is emptied. Another first point is selected from the point set, the another first point being in another object identifier in the first group of object identifiers. In other words, if no second point meeting the predetermined distance and the predetermined addition condition is found in the at least one direction according to the first point, it means that the current traversal fails, and the current first point sequence can be discarded and the traversal is restarted.

[0076] Specifically, a first point (i.e., another first point) of another object identifier (i.e., different from the object identifier in which the first point specified for the first time is located) in the first group of object identifiers can be selected from the point set, and then a new round of traversal is performed in the above-mentioned traversal manner. The another first point can be a top vertex of the upper left corner of the another object identifier. With the example implementation of the present disclosure, the effectiveness of the first point sequence can be ensured, so that the camp line can be accurately drawn.

[0077] According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, another first point is selected from the point set, the another first point being in another object identifier in the first group of object identifiers and the second group of object identifiers. After determining that the first group of line segment sequences 210 of the first group of object identifiers is completed, a first point (e.g., which can be a top vertex of the upper left corner) of another object identifier in the second group of object identifiers can be selected from the point set, and then the traversal is started in a manner similar to the traversal of the first group of object identifiers, so as to form the second group of line segment sequences 220, which will not be described herein again. Alternatively and / or additionally, the traversal can also be started from a first point of another object identifier in the first group of object identifiers selected from the point set.

[0078] With the example implementation of the present disclosure, after drawing a camp line, the unsearched points can be traversed again, so as to continue to find the camp line that can be closed loop, thereby efficiently realizing the drawing of all camp lines.

[0079] According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, in response to determining that the first group of objects is updated, a sequence of updated first group of line segments associated with updated first group object identifiers of the updated first group of objects is determined, and the sequence of updated first group of line segments is rendered in the second layer 205. Alternatively and / or additionally, the first group of objects being updated includes a decrease or an increase in the number of the first group of objects, or the number of the first group of objects remains unchanged but an object originally located in another group switches camp with a certain object in the first group of objects. In the case of switching camp, the sequence of first group of line segments also needs to be updated based on the position of the new object in the first group of objects being different from the position of the original object being switched.

[0080] With the example implementation of the present disclosure, the camp line can be updated again when the user changes camp, thereby reducing the performance consumption of the client device. This implementation can efficiently re-draw the camp line when the camp layout changes, with high flexibility and adaptability.
