[0031] The term "in response to" as used herein refers to a state in which a corresponding event occurs or a condition is met. It will be understood that the timing of the execution of the subsequent action performed in response to the event or condition is not necessarily strongly associated with the time at which the event occurs or the condition is established. For example, in some cases, the subsequent action can be performed immediately when the event occurs or the condition is established; in other cases, the subsequent action can be performed after a period of time after the event occurs or the condition is established.

[0032] Example environment

[0033] A processing system can provide various services to a user. For example, the processing system can obtain input information from the user, and provide corresponding multimedia content based on the input information. An application environment according to some implementations of the present disclosure is described with reference to FIG. 1, which shows a block diagram 100 of an application environment according to one example implementation of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, a processing system 110 can perform various tasks, a user can input a desired task to be performed in an input box 140, and submit input information. For example, the processing system 110 can receive input information 120, and generate corresponding multimedia content 130.

[0034] Here, the processing system 110 may, for example, include a query system and / or a generative system implemented based on a machine learning model. A user can construct a prompt word as input information 120 in order to obtain a corresponding response from the processing system 110. Assuming that the user wants to compose an email, the user can input "please compose an email…", at which time the multimedia content 130 can include the content of a corresponding email. However, at this time, the user has to manually open an email application and copy the multimedia content 130 into the email application, and then perform further editing. At this time, it is desirable to determine and present the multimedia content in a more efficient manner in order for the user to perform subsequent operations.

[0035] Presenting an overview of multimedia content

[0036] To at least partially address the deficiencies in the prior art, according to one example implementation of the present disclosure, a method for presenting multimedia content is proposed. A summary of one example implementation of the present disclosure is described with reference to FIG. 2, which shows a block diagram 200 for presenting multimedia content according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, in response to input information 230 of a user, a content presentation format 210 that matches the input information 230 can be determined. Based on the input information 230 and the content presentation format 210, multimedia content 240 is generated, which has a file format 220 that matches the content presentation format 210. Further, the multimedia content 240 can be presented.

[0037] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, the content presentation format can include, but is not limited to, a text format, an image format, an audio format, a video format, or a rich media format including data in different formats, etc. The multimedia content can have a certain file format, which can be a format that is supported by one or more applications for browsing and / or editing. There can be a correspondence between the content presentation format and the file format, for example, a text format can correspond to multiple file formats, such as a ".txt" format, a ".doc" format, etc.; an image format can correspond to multiple file formats, such as a ".jpg" format, a ".bmp" format, etc.; a rich media format can correspond to multiple file formats, such as a ".pdf" format, a ".html" format, etc.

[0038] With the example implementations of the present disclosure, the content presentation format can be determined according to the input information of the user, and the corresponding multimedia content can be generated. Further, the multimedia content can be presented in a suitable manner, in this way, the user can be facilitated to view and / or edit the generated multimedia content. In this way, the complexity of manual operation of the user can be reduced, and the data processing efficiency can be improved.

[0039] Detailed process of presenting multimedia content

[0040] Having described a summary of some implementations of the present disclosure, more details will be provided in the following. According to some implementations of the present disclosure, generating the multimedia content can include generating a set of multimedia elements that matches the input information, the multimedia content including the set of multimedia elements, and a layout style of the set of multimedia elements being determined based on the input information and the content presentation format.

[0041] Specifically, the input information herein can be a prompt word input to a processing system (e.g., implemented based on a machine learning model), and the processing system can generate a set of multimedia elements matching the input information. More details are described with reference to FIG. 3A, which shows a block diagram 300A of multimedia content according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3A, the generated multimedia elements 312, …, 314 arranged in a layout style 316 can be generated directly by the processing system. Alternatively and / or additionally, the multimedia elements 312, …, 314 and the layout style 316 can be generated respectively by the processing system, and the multimedia elements 312, …, 314 can be further arranged in the layout style 316 to generate the multimedia content 240. Alternatively and / or additionally, the multimedia elements 312, …, 314 can be generated respectively by the processing system, each multimedia element can be presented, and the user can arrange each multimedia element in a customized layout style to generate multimedia content more in line with the user's needs.

[0042] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, in the process of generating multimedia content, a plurality of prompt information respectively matching a plurality of candidate applications supporting a content presentation format can be provided to a user; in response to receiving an interaction request of the user for prompt information in the plurality of prompt information, a candidate application matching the prompt information is selected from the plurality of candidate applications; and based on at least one file format supported by the candidate application, the multimedia content is generated.

[0043] Specifically, assuming that the content presentation format is an image format, and the application A, the application B, and the application C can all present and edit data objects in the image format, at this time, the prompt information A, the prompt information B, and the prompt information C respectively corresponding to each application can be provided to the user. Based on the selection of the prompt information by the user, it can be determined that the user expects to present and / or edit multimedia content in the image format. Assuming that the user selects the prompt information A, and the application A corresponding to the prompt information A can support the “.jpg” format and the “.bmp” format, at this time, images in the “.jpg” format and / or the “.bmp” format can be generated. With the example implementations of the present disclosure, suitable multimedia content can be generated based on the user's needs for subsequent operations by the user.

[0044] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, during presenting the multimedia content, an application for presenting the multimedia content can be determined, and the multimedia content is presented in the application. Specifically, a user-specified application can be selected, and / or an application that the user has frequently used in the past can be selected. Specifically, to determine the application for presenting the multimedia content, in response to receiving a user input for specifying an application, the application can be determined based on the user input. For example, the user can be asked: "Which application do you want to use to open the multimedia content?" In this way, an application that is more matched to the user's needs can be selected.

[0045] Alternatively and / or additionally, during determining the application for presenting the multimedia content, an association between file formats and a plurality of applications can be determined based on a usage history of the user using the plurality of applications, and the application is selected from the plurality of applications based on the association. See FIG. 3B for more information, which illustrates a block diagram 300B for selecting an application according to some implementations of the present disclosure.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 3B, the association 334 can be determined based on the usage history 332 of using the plurality of applications. The association 334 can describe an association between a plurality of file formats and a plurality of applications respectively corresponding to the plurality of file formats. For example, a data object having a file format 322 can be processed with an application 320, a data object having a file format 326 can be processed with an application 324, and so on. Further, in response to receiving the input information 230 from the user, the multimedia content 240 that matches the input information 230 can be obtained (e.g., from a processing system). The application 330 corresponding to the file format 220 of the multimedia content 240 can be determined from the plurality of applications based on the association 334, and the multimedia content 240 is presented with the application 330.

[0047] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, the usage history can indicate a plurality of applications used by the user during processing data objects of a plurality of file formats, and determining the association comprises: for a file format of the plurality of file formats, determining an application corresponding to the file format from the plurality of applications based on a usage frequency of the plurality of applications. During the user's historical usage, which application is used by the user to process a data object of a certain format respectively can be recorded, the usage frequency of each application can be determined, and then the association between the application and the file format can be determined.

[0048] For example, the user can use one or more text applications to process data objects in text format, the user can use one or more image applications to process data objects in text format, and so on. It should be understood that the applications herein can include applications installed locally on the client device of the user, and can also include network applications accessed via a browser. In this way, the user can be supported to process data using multiple types of applications.

[0049] An example of the association relationship is described with reference to FIG. 3C, which shows a block diagram 300C of the association relationship according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown, column 340 can represent a file format, column 342 can represent an application for processing a data object in a certain file format, and column 344 can represent an access address of the application. For example, in the case of a local application, the access address can represent an address of an executable file under a predetermined directory of the client device; in the case of a web application, the access address can represent an address of a uniform resource locator (URL) accessed via a browser of the client device.

[0050] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, the user can update the association relationship. Specifically, in the process of determining the association relationship, the association relationship is updated based on an update request in response to receiving the update request. For example, the user can add a new association relationship to the association relationship, edit an existing association relationship, and / or delete an existing association relationship. Specifically, the user can add relevant information about the application for the file format of “email” in FIG. 3C, for example, the application P can be used to process emails, and the web address of the application P can be specified, and so on. Alternatively and / or additionally, the user can use natural language to describe the association relationship, for example, the user can input: “I often use the application P to process emails”, and so on. A priority can be specified for each association relationship, so as to determine the relevant application in a more accurate manner.

[0051] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, for a certain file format, the association relationship can specify multiple candidate applications. At this time, a certain application can be selected from the multiple candidate applications. Specifically, in response to determining that the file format corresponds to multiple candidate applications based on the association relationship, the application supported by the client device is determined from the multiple candidate applications, and the method is executed at the client device.

[0052] For example, assume that the user specifies to use the local application 1 and the web application 2 to process the text, however the client device does not install the local application 1, at this time, the URL of the web application 2 can be accessed and the multimedia content can be opened by using the web application 2. Alternatively and / or additionally, the application that is currently opened can be used to present the multimedia content. With the example implementation of the present disclosure, the user waiting time can be reduced, and the user can be supported to further edit the multimedia content in the application that is currently being used.

[0053] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, in the process of determining the application, in response to determining that the file format corresponds to a plurality of candidate applications based on the association relationship, prompt information about the plurality of candidate applications can be provided. Further, in response to receiving a selection request for the prompt information, the application can be selected based on the selection request. With the example implementation of the present disclosure, the application that is more in line with the user's needs can be used to present the multimedia content.

[0054] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, the usage scenario of the user can be further determined, and the application can be selected based on the usage scenario. The input information can be analyzed to determine the usage scenario, assuming that the input information is: "Please write an email to invite colleagues of the technical department to have a meeting in conference room A tomorrow morning…". At this time, the usage scenario can be determined to be "work email scenario" based on text analysis, and / or calling a machine learning model in the processing system, and the local email application that the user often sends and receives work emails can be selected. For another example, assume that the input information is: "Please write an email to invite friends A and B to watch a movie after work…". At this time, the usage scenario can be determined to be "private email scenario" based on text analysis, and / or calling a machine learning model in the processing system, and the web email application that the user often sends and receives private emails can be selected.

[0055] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, the plurality of applications herein are web applications, and the method described above is implemented by using a plug-in of a browser for accessing the web applications, and the association relationship is stored in the plug-in. At this time, the usage history of the user using various file formats of data objects to process various file formats by various web applications can be collected by the plug-in, thereby supporting to determine the association relationship in a simpler and more effective manner.

[0056] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, the user can interact with the browser, for example, enter the input information in the browser, and view the multimedia data presented in the browser. With the example implementation of the present disclosure, the plurality of web applications can be called in the browser, and the multimedia content can be presented in a more effective manner.

[0057] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, a plug-in can be utilized to present an interaction page with the processing system in a browser. For example, the interaction page can be presented in a sidebar of the browser, alternatively and / or additionally, the interaction page can be presented in a floating manner overlaid on top of a page of the browser. More details about presenting multimedia content are described with reference to FIG. 4, which illustrates a block diagram 400 of presenting multimedia content in an email application according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, a browser 410 can include a left portion and a right portion, the left portion can present a sidebar 422 for interacting with the processing system, and the right portion can present a specific page of a web application accessed by the browser. Based on a URL accessed by the browser, an email application, a text application, a slide application, a data table application, etc. can be presented respectively.

[0058] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, in a process of presenting multimedia content with an application, the multimedia content can be copied to a workspace of the application for presenting the multimedia content by the application. Specifically, the application can be first opened with an access address of the application, and then the multimedia content can be copied to a target position associated with the input information in the workspace. According to some implementations of the present disclosure, the template position can be determined based on semantic recognition and / or with a machine learning model in the processing system.

[0059] Continuing the example above, the input information 430 input by the user can represent “please reply to email XX…”, and the processing system can provide multimedia content 432 for the input information. Here, the multimedia content 432 is in an email format, thus the email application 420 can be directly opened, further, from the input information 430, it can be determined that the target position is a position for “replying to an email”, at this time, the multimedia content 432 can be inserted at the position for replying to an email in the email application 420. Alternatively and / or additionally, assuming that the input information 430 represents “please reply to all people, …”, at this time, it can be determined that the target position is an input box for “replying to all”; again, assuming that the input information 430 represents “please forward the email, …”, at this time, it can be determined that the target position is an input box for “forwarding”. In this way, the content of replying to an email can be automatically input to the desired position without the complex operation of copying / pasting by the user. The user can further edit the email in the email application 420.

[0060] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, the input information can involve a new file format that has not been used before. Here, the multimedia content is determined based on a response of the processing system to the input information, and it can be determined by means of the processing system which application to use to present the multimedia content. Specifically, in response to a failure of the application to appear based on the association, a candidate application corresponding to a file format of the multimedia content is determined by means of the processing system; and the multimedia content is presented by means of the candidate application.

[0061] More details are described with reference to FIG. 5, which shows a block diagram 500 of presenting multimedia content in a text application according to some implementations of the present disclosure. Assume that the input information indicates “please generate a review of movie XX”, and the processing system generates a review in a text format, at this time, the processing system can determine to present the multimedia content by means of the text application. Specifically, the text application 520 can be automatically opened in a browser 510, and the generated review is presented. Alternatively and / or additionally, assume that the processing system generates a review in a rich media format (e.g., including text and images), then an editing application supporting the multimedia format can be automatically opened in the browser 510, and the generated review is presented. The user can further edit the review in the text application 520. With example implementations of the present disclosure, a new file format that has not been processed before can be processed by means of the powerful processing capability of the machine learning model in the processing system.

[0062] FIG. 6 shows a block diagram 600 of presenting multimedia content in a slideshow application according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, assume that the input information indicates “please generate a training material for coffee making…”, the processing system can generate a document including a data object in a multimedia format. At this time, a slideshow application 620 can be opened at a browser 610 to present the document. According to some implementations of the present disclosure, the corresponding document can be generated based on an application scenario specified by the user. Assume that an interaction request of the user for a page element 630 is received, it can be determined that the application scenario is a computing field scenario, i.e., the document is to be presented at a regular computer device. At this time, a slide 640 can be generated.

[0063] FIG. 7 shows a block diagram 700 of presenting multimedia content in a slideshow application according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, assume that an interaction request of the user for a page element 730 is received, it can be determined that the application scenario is a mobile device, i.e., the document is to be presented at a mobile device (e.g., a cell phone). At this time, a slide 740 can be generated. With example implementations of the present disclosure, the multimedia content can be generated and presented in a manner specified by the user for further editing.

[0064] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, a user can edit multimedia content in an application. Specifically, in response to receiving another input information in the application, another multimedia content is generated that matches the another input information, the another input information indicating a task performed on a first multimedia element in the multimedia content so as to generate a second multimedia element; and the another multimedia content including the second multimedia element is provided in the application. With continued reference to FIG. 7, a user can edit the slide 740 in the slide application 720. The user can double-click the image 750 (e.g., the first multimedia element) so as to edit the image, for example, the user can enter another input information in the input box 760, for example, "please convert the image to a grayscale image." At this time, the image 750 in the slide application 720 can be replaced with a grayscale image (e.g., the second multimedia element). With example implementations of the present disclosure, a user can be facilitated to invoke the powerful processing capability of the processing system in a current application to perform a desired task.

[0065] According to some implementations of the present disclosure, a user can interact with various multimedia elements in an application, for example, edit specific content of a multimedia element, etc. Specifically, in response to receiving an access request for a second multimedia element in the application, another application corresponding to a file format of the second multimedia element is determined (e.g., determined from a plurality of applications based on an association relationship); and the second multimedia element is presented using the another application.

[0066] With continued reference to FIG. 7, assuming that a user wishes to edit the image 750, another image editing application can be opened in a browser and the image is presented. In this way, a user can be facilitated to further adjust the image in the image editing application. For example, the user can modify the brightness of the image, insert text into the image, etc. Upon confirmation by the user, the image 750 in the slide application 720 can be replaced with the image confirmed in the image editing application. In this way, a browser can automatically provide an application for processing multimedia elements of different various file formats and avoid the complicated operation process of a user constantly querying which application to use to edit a multimedia element and subsequently downloading and installing a corresponding application in a use process.

[0067] FIG. 8 illustrates a block diagram 800 of presenting multimedia content in a data table application according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, assuming that the input information represents "statistics of the past three years of ** data", at this time the processing system can generate a data table and a data table application 820 can be opened at the browser 810 to present the generated data table. According to some implementations of the present disclosure, login information for accessing various applications can be stored in a browser, thereby further simplifying the complexity of user operations.

[0068] With the example implementations of the present disclosure, the content presentation format can be determined according to the input information of the user, and the corresponding multimedia content can be generated. Further, the multimedia content can be presented in a suitable manner, in this way, the user can be facilitated to view and / or edit the generated multimedia content. In this way, the complexity of manual operation of the user can be reduced, and the data processing efficiency can be improved.
