[0034] Example Interaction

[0035] An example interaction process according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] FIGS. 2A-8E illustrate example live streaming interfaces 200A-800E according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The live streaming interfaces 200A-800E can be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in FIG. 1.

[0037] It should be understood that, in the case where it is not explicitly indicated that the interface is for being set by a target user (e.g., a host user or a management user) of a live streaming room, the interface can be provided by an electronic device corresponding to any appropriate user in the live streaming room, such as a live streaming user, a spectator, or a participant of a live streaming interaction event, etc.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 2A, the electronic device 110 can display, for example, a display interface 200A, which can be a starting page of a live streaming room for a target user to set the live streaming room to be started and related information of the content to be live streamed in the live streaming room. As shown in FIG. 2A, the related information can include the name of the live streaming room to be started, the theme of the live streaming room, the live streaming target, etc.

[0039] The display page 200A can also display a setting entry 210 and a start live streaming entry 220. The target user can click the start live streaming entry 220 to start the live streaming room, so as to support the target user to perform a live streaming interaction event with the users who join the live streaming room. The live streaming interaction event can be a singing interaction, a chatting interaction, a story telling interaction, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, after the target user starts the live streaming room, other users can watch the live streaming content of the live streaming room and can also join the live streaming interaction event of the live streaming room. In some embodiments, the live streaming interface of the electronic device 110 can display a plurality of preset areas (also referred to as a microphone position area, which corresponds to a plurality of users participating in a live streaming interaction event), such as the preset area 230, the preset area 240, and the preset area 250 shown in FIG. 2B. The electronic device 110 can be corresponding to the target user, and can also be set for other users.

[0041] When a user (e.g., a guest) joins the live streaming interaction event of the live streaming room, a picture corresponding to the user can be displayed in a corresponding area of the plurality of preset areas, wherein a picture corresponding to one user is displayed in at least one area. The picture corresponding to the user can be a real-time picture of the user, can also be an avatar of the user, or a preset picture selected by the user, etc., which will not be described herein. In this case, the preset area can be switched from a third display state (e.g., displaying an entry for joining the live streaming interaction event) to a first display state (i.e., displaying the picture corresponding to the user).

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2B, the display page 200B can also display a user viewing component 260, which can display information of users currently joining the live room. The display page 200B is a display page for a target user. The target user can view, based on the display page 200B, a host (user 1) of the current live room, a user (user 2) joining the live room for a live interactive event, a user (user 3 and user 4) sending a request to join the live room for an interactive event but not yet approved by the host, and a user (user 5 and user 6) not sending a request to join the live room for an interactive event but watching the live broadcast of the live room. The host can adjust the users joining the live room for a live interactive event by clicking the control corresponding to each user on the display page 200B. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the host can join user 3 to the live interactive event by clicking the accept control 270 corresponding to user 3. After determining that user 3 joins the live interactive event, the electronic device 110 can display the screen corresponding to user 3 in a preset position of the live page that is not occupied.

[0043] Returning to FIG. 2A, in some embodiments, the target user can also configure related information of the live room by clicking the setting entry 210. The related information can include a restriction condition of a viewer watching the live room, a host of the live room, an upper limit of the number of people allowed to join the interactive event in the live room, and the like.

The electronic device 110 can receive a configuration operation of the target user on the target content via the content configuration component 310 to obtain a setting of the target content. The target content can be used to indicate information related to the live broadcast, such as rules of a live interactive event of the live room, requirements of a user joining the live interactive event, and matters needing attention for watching the live broadcast, and the like, which are not described herein. In some scenarios, the target content can include a bulletin board content, for example.

[0045] In some embodiments, the target content can include any suitable type of content determined via the configuration operation of the user. As an example, the content configuration component 310 may, for example, include a text input component, and the target content can be text content input via the text input component.

[0046] As a further example, the content configuration component 310 may, for example, include an image input component, and the target content can include an image uploaded, edited, created, or generated via the image input component.

[0047] In some embodiments, the content configuration component 310 may, for example, include a canvas component, as will be introduced below. As an example, the canvas component may, for example, have a display scale corresponding to a preset area to support the user to create corresponding content in the canvas component.

[0048] It should be noted that in addition to being able to configure the target content before the live broadcast, the target user can also configure the target content during the live broadcast, i.e., the target interface providing the content configuration component can be not only the opening interface of the target user, but also the setting page of the live interactive event.

[0049] The following describes how to set the target content.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 3, the content configuration component 310 can include a canvas component 320. The target user can configure the canvas component 320 to set the target content. In some embodiments, the target content can include multiple content elements. The content elements can be at least one of the following: text, image, sticker, and palette background. The text can be rules corresponding to the live interactive event in the live broadcast room, requirements of the audience allowed to watch in the live broadcast room, and the like. The image can be a preset image, and can also be an image saved locally by the electronic device 110, and the like. The palette background can be a background of a preset color, and can also be a locally saved image, and the like. As shown in FIG. 3, the canvas component 320 can include a content element adding component 301, a content element removing component 302, and a style modifying component 303 of the content element (which includes a modifying component 303(1), a modifying component 303(2), and a modifying component 303(3)). The target user can set the target content by clicking each component included in the canvas component 320.

[0051] In some embodiments, the target user can add a content element by clicking the element adding component 301.

The interactive page 400A can display a soft keyboard 410 to support the user to input a corresponding text based on the soft keyboard 410.

[0052] In some embodiments, the target user can remove a content element in the canvas component by clicking the content element removing component 302. That is, after the target user clicks the content element removing component 302, the canvas component will not display the removed content element.

[0053] In some embodiments, the target user can modify the style of a content element by clicking the style modifying component 303 of the content element. For example, the target user can click the component 301(1) to modify the style of the drawing board background in the canvas component. Specifically, after the target user clicks the component 301(1), the electronic device 110 can provide an interactive page 400B, as shown in FIG. 4B. The interactive page 400B can display all selectable drawing board backgrounds, which can be images 420 in preset colors or images 430 saved by the electronic device 110. The user can set the drawing board background corresponding to the target content by clicking any of the to-be-selected drawing board backgrounds.

[0054] For another example, the target user can also click the component 301(2) to modify the style of the text in the canvas component. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, after the target user clicks the component 301(2), the interactive page 300 can display all selectable fonts corresponding to the text and colors corresponding to the text. The user can modify the font and / or color of the text in the canvas component by clicking the to-be-selected font and / or color.

[0055] For another example, the target user can also click the component 301(3) to rotate the text in the canvas component.

[0056] It should be noted that the target content will not be displayed on the live page immediately after being set. The electronic device 110 will display the target content on the live page only when the anchor side selects the set target content during the live streaming. In some embodiments, the interactive page can also display prompt information on how to use the canvas, as shown in FIG. 4C, the interactive page 400C can display the prompt information “Your current editing will be saved and will take effect only after being applied during the live streaming”.

[0057] Returning to FIG. 3, the interactive interface 300 can also display a history viewing entry 330, a frequently asked question viewing entry 340, and so on.

[0058] The target user can view a set of historical contents created by the target user using the canvas component by selecting the history viewing entry 330. After the target user selects the history viewing entry 330, the electronic device 110 can display an interactive page 500, as shown in FIG. 5. The interactive page 500 can display the set of historical contents, and selection controls corresponding to the set of historical contents, such as a selection control 510 corresponding to a historical content 1, a selection control 520 corresponding to a historical content 2, and so on. To facilitate the user to view the relevant information of each historical content, so as to make a selection, in some embodiments, the interactive page 500 can also display the creation time corresponding to each historical content, such as the interactive page 500 displaying that the historical content 1 is a “talent show”, and the corresponding creation time is December 11, 3 pm.

[0059] In some embodiments, the target user can click the selection control corresponding to a first content in the set of historical contents on the interactive page 500, to select the first content in the set of historical contents. The electronic device 110 can provide the first content or set the first content as the target content using the canvas component based on the selection of the first content in the set of historical contents, so that the first content can be subsequently displayed in the live page. That is, the electronic device 110 can display the first content as other content distinguished from the target content on the live page, or display the first content as the target content on the live page.

[0060] In other embodiments, the canvas component can also display prompt information about a second content created by the target user before the start of the live interaction event. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the canvas component can display a second content 610, and a selection control 620 of a second content object can be displayed. The user can click the selection control 620 corresponding to the second content to select the second content. The electronic device 110 can provide the second content or set the second content as the target content using the canvas component based on the selection of the second content, so that the second content can be subsequently displayed in the live page. That is, the electronic device 110 can display the second content as other content distinguished from the target content on the live page, or display the second content as the target content on the live page.

[0061] Referring back to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the user can also view a common prompt message related to the target content setting by clicking the viewing entry 340 of the FAQ. The prompt message can be of any suitable type, such as a text type, a voice type, a video type, etc. The prompt message can prompt the user on how to set the canvas, how to display the target content in the live room after setting the canvas, etc. After the user clicks the viewing entry 340 of the FAQ, the electronic device 110 can display an interaction page 600, as shown in FIG. 6. The interaction page 600 can display common questions about content setting and corresponding answers to the common questions.

For example, the display page 700A of FIG. 7A can display a layout 710 corresponding to the target content, and the display page 700B of FIG. 7B can display a layout 720 corresponding to the target content.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8A, the target content configured via the above process can be displayed in one of the preset regions. In this case, the preset region can correspond to the second display state. In some embodiments, such a preset region can also be configured to switch between the first display state (i.e., display the participant's screen), the second display state (i.e., display the target content), and the third display state (i.e., display the joining entry).

[0063] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also display an editing component for the target content based on a first operation on the target content displayed on the live page. The first operation can be a click operation on the target content, etc., which is not described herein. As an example, the user can edit the target content by clicking the editing component, etc.

[0064] For example, the electronic device 110 can receive an editing operation on the target content and can display the edited target content in the second region. As shown in FIG. 8A, the electronic device can provide an interaction page 800A. The interaction page 800A can display an editing component 810. The anchor can click the editing component 810 to trigger the first operation on the target content. After the anchor clicks the editing component 810, the electronic device can provide the interaction page as described in FIG. 3 to support the anchor to edit the target content. Specifically, the anchor can edit the style of the content element in the target content, etc., which is not described herein.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also switch the second region to a third display state, i.e., display preset content, based on the second operation on the target content. In some embodiments, the preset content is associated with an entry to the live event. In some embodiments, the preset content can be content indicating that the region is not occupied, and that the user can join the live room to perform the live interactive event and support the user's screen to be displayed in the second region, or other suitable content, etc. The second operation can be any suitable operation, such as a user double-clicking the second region, etc.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 8A, the interactive page 800A can also display a removal control 820. The anchor side can click the removal control 820 to trigger the second operation on the target content. After the anchor side clicks the removal component 820, the electronic device can provide an interactive page 800B as shown in FIG. 8B, which can display prompt information prompting the anchor side to determine whether to remove the target content. Specifically, if the user clicks the removal control 850 corresponding to the interactive page 800B, the electronic device can remove the target content from the live page, and the second region of the live page can display preset content at this time, that is, the second region can support displaying the screen of other users who join the live interactive event at this time.

[0067] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can switch a third region of the plurality of preset regions to the second display state to display the target content based on a third operation on the target content. In some embodiments, the third region can be switched from the third display state to the second display state, for example.

[0068] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can display a set of candidate regions in the plurality of preset regions in the third display state. The electronic device 110 can display the target content in the third region of the plurality of preset regions based on a selection of the third region in the set of candidate regions. As an example, the user can click the third region to select the third region in the set of candidate regions. As another example, the user can also drag the target content from the second region to the third region to select the third region in the set of candidate regions, etc., which will not be described herein.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 8A, the interactive page 800A can further display a control 830 corresponding to the exchange position. The anchor party can click the control 830 corresponding to the exchange position component to trigger a third operation on the target content. After the anchor party clicks the control 830 corresponding to the exchange position component, the electronic device can provide an interactive page 800C as shown in FIG. 8C. The interactive page 800C can display a group of candidate regions occupied by the screens of the users who are not joined in the live interactive event, such as a control 860 corresponding to a first candidate region and a control 870 corresponding to a second candidate region. The user can click one of the candidate regions to select a third region to be exchanged. The electronic device can display the target content in the third region in the preset regions based on the selection of the third region in the group of candidate regions, and remove the target content in the second region.

[0070] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can further adjust the layout of the plurality of preset regions in the live interface based on the fourth operation on the target content, to improve the display priority of the second region in the live interface. In some embodiments, the display priority is associated with the display size and / or the display position of the second region; the larger the display size, the higher the display priority. The closer the display position to the center position of the live page, the higher the display priority.

[0071] As an example, the electronic device 110 can set the display size of the second region to a first size, and set the display size of the other regions to a second size, where the first size is larger than the second size.

[0072] As another example, the electronic device 110 can display the second region in the center area of the live page, and display the other regions in other positions of the live page, and the like.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 8A, the interactive page 800A can further display an expansion control 840. The anchor party can click the expansion control 840 to trigger a fourth operation on the target content. After the anchor party clicks the expansion control 840, the electronic device can provide an interactive page 800D as shown in FIG. 8D, where the size of the second region 880 displayed in the interactive page 800D is larger than the size of the other preset regions.

[0074] The determination process of the second region where the target content is displayed will be described below.

[0075] In some embodiments, the target user can select the second region from the plurality of preset regions by clicking the second region on the live page or inputting an identifier corresponding to the second region, and the like. That is, the electronic device 110 can determine the second region from the plurality of preset regions based on the selection operation of the target user.

[0076] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can determine the second region based on a display attribute of at least one of the plurality of preset regions that is not occupied by the picture of the user who is not joined in the live interactive event, where the display attribute can include a display priority, a display order, and the like. As an example, the electronic device 110 can determine, according to a display order corresponding to the plurality of preset regions, a region with a highest display order among the at least one of the plurality of preset regions that is not occupied by the picture of the user who is not joined in the live interactive event as the second region.

[0077] As an example, the electronic device 110 can also determine, according to a display priority corresponding to the plurality of preset regions, a region with a highest display priority among the at least one of the plurality of preset regions that is not occupied by the picture of the user who is not joined in the live interactive event as the second region.

[0078] In some embodiments, if an additional user is joined in the live event, the electronic device 110 can display a picture corresponding to the additional user in a fourth region of the plurality of preset regions. The additional user is a user who is joined in the live interactive event after the electronic device 110 displays the target content in the fourth region. The fourth region is different from the second region. For example, the fourth region can be switched from the third display state to the first display state.

[0079] It should be noted that the fourth region can also be determined based on a display attribute of at least one of the plurality of preset regions that is not occupied by the picture of the user who is not joined in the live interactive event, where the display attribute can include a display priority, a display order, and the like. Of course, it can also be determined based on other appropriate manners, which will not be described here.

[0080] In some embodiments, the number of the plurality of preset regions that can be displayed on the live page can be a predetermined number. The predetermined number can be set by the host side. As shown in the interactive interface 800E shown in FIG. 8E, the interactive page 800E can display selection controls corresponding to the number of visitors, such as a selection control 890 corresponding to 5 people and a selection control 891 corresponding to 8 people. The user can set the number of the plurality of preset regions that can be displayed on the live page by clicking the control corresponding to the number of visitors, where the number of visitors is the same as the number of the plurality of preset regions.

[0081] During the live streaming, if the electronic device 110 determines that the target content is displayed in the second region, the number of users allowed to join the live interactive event can be adjusted. In some embodiments, the number of users allowed to join the live interactive event is less than the predetermined number corresponding to the plurality of preset regions that can be displayed on the live streaming page. As an example, the predetermined number is equal to the sum of the adjusted number of users allowed to join the live interactive event and the number of the second regions. For instance, the number of the plurality of preset regions that can be displayed on the live streaming page is 9, and 1 target content is displayed in 1 second region, and then the electronic device 110 adjusts the number of users allowed to join the live interactive event to be 8.

[0082] Based on the above-described interaction process, in an aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure can support providing the content configured by the target user in the live streaming interface by using the preset display region corresponding to the participant of the live interactive event, thereby improving the efficiency of content sharing and obtaining during the live streaming. In another aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure can further support dynamically adjusting the configured content by the target user, thereby further providing the flexibility of content sharing.
