[0034] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Generating virtual resources

[0036] FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of an example process 200 of generating a virtual resource, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 200 can be implemented at the electronic device 110. The process 200 is described below with reference to FIG. 1.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 2, at block 210, the electronic device 110 presents a target entry for generating a virtual resource.

[0038] The process 200 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3A-3D. FIGS. 3A-3D illustrate example interfaces 300A-300D, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The interfaces 300A-300D may, for example, be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in FIG. 1.

[0039] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3A, the electronic device 110 can present a target interface 300A. As an example, the target interface 300A may, for example, be a live interface associated with a live broadcast. As an example, the electronic device 110 can present a configuration window 305 for generating a virtual resource in response to receiving a preset operation.

[0040] In some embodiments, with continued reference to FIG. 3A, the electronic device 110 can present an example image 310 of the virtual resource in the configuration window 305. As an example, the example image 310 may, for example, indicate a visual style of the virtual resource.

[0041] In some embodiments, with continued reference to FIG. 3A, the electronic device 110 can present a setting control 310 for generating the virtual resource in the configuration window 305. Further, the electronic device 110 can present a target entry for generating the virtual resource in response to receiving a trigger (e.g., a click operation) on the setting control 310.

[0042] At block 220, the electronic device 110 provides a target virtual resource in response to a selection of the target entry by the user, the target virtual resource including target visual content associated with the user, the target visual content being generated based on reference visual content, the reference visual content being determined based on live content of the user within a preset time period.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3B, the electronic device 110 can present a target entry 320 of generating a virtual resource in the configuration window 305. As an example, the electronic device 110 can also preset visual content 325 (e.g., first preset visual content 325-1 and second preset visual content 325-2) in the configuration window 305. As an example, the electronic device 110 can target the preset visual content 205 as the target visual content based on the user’s selection (e.g., a click operation or a long press operation) of the preset visual content 205, and trigger the server 130 to generate the target virtual resource based on the target visual content. As an example, the preset visual content 325 can be the target visual content previously generated by the user based on the target entry 320.

[0044] In some embodiments, with continued reference to FIG. 3B, the electronic device 110 can stop presenting the corresponding preset visual content 325 in the configuration window 305 in response to receiving a user’s deletion request for the preset visual content 325.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3C, the electronic device 110 can present a creation avatar control 330 and a selection control 335 in response to receiving a user’s selection (e.g., a click operation) of the target entry 320.

[0046] In some embodiments, with continued reference to FIG. 3C, the electronic device 110 can request the server 130 to generate the target visual content based on reference visual content determined from the user’s live content within a preset time period in response to receiving a user’s triggering (e.g., a click operation) of the creation avatar control 330, so that the server 130 generates the target visual content based on the reference visual content. As an example, the user’s live content within the preset time period can be live content of the preset time period content provided by the user (e.g., historical live content within the preset time period). As an example, the electronic device 110 can present the target visual content generated by the server 130 based on the reference visual content (e.g., added as the preset visual content 325) in the configuration window 305.

[0047] It is emphasized that the information related to the user mentioned in the present disclosure (including but not limited to live content) is acquired and used with the knowledge and authorization of the relevant user.

[0048] In some embodiments, with continued reference to FIG. 3C, the electronic device 110 can present a set of preset visual content in response to receiving a trigger (e.g., a click operation) on the selection control 335. As an example, the set of preset visual content can be image content (e.g., picture content or video content, etc.). Further, the electronic device 110 can provide, to the server 130, a target preset visual content from the set of preset visual content as a reference visual content based on a user selection of the target preset visual content, so that the server 130 generates a target visual content based on the reference visual content.

[0049] In some embodiments, with continued reference to FIG. 3C, the electronic device 110 can provide a target virtual resource generated by the server 130 based on the target visual content. As an example, the target virtual resource can include at least one of image content, video content, a virtual expression resource (e.g., an emoticon), and a virtual gift resource (e.g., a virtual gift for interaction in a live streaming room).

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can trigger, in response to the target virtual resource being generated, a presentation of an interaction entry associated with the target virtual resource in a live streaming interface associated with the user. As an example, the electronic device 110 can present, in the interaction entry, an image identifier and / or a text identifier associated with the target virtual resource to indicate that the interaction entry is associated with the target virtual resource. As an example, the electronic device 110 can present the interaction entry associated with the target virtual resource in a virtual gift resource window or a virtual expression resource window associated with the live streaming interface.

[0051] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can present, in response to the interaction entry associated with the virtual resource being triggered (e.g., receiving a click operation on the interaction entry from the audience side), the target virtual resource in a live streaming interface associated with the user (including a live streaming interface of a live streaming party and a live streaming interface of the audience side).

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3D, the electronic device 110 can present, in response to the interaction entry associated with the virtual resource being triggered, the target virtual resource in a live streaming interface of a live streaming room. As an example, the target virtual resource includes an interaction resource 340 for the live streaming room associated with the user.

[0053] In some embodiments, the target virtual resource includes a material for generating the interactive resource, i.e., the target virtual resource can be used as a material for generating the interactive resource. For example, the target virtual resource can include an image material for generating the interactive resource. In some embodiments, in response to the interactive resource generation request, a selection panel is displayed, the selection panel displays the target virtual resource or an identifier of the target virtual resource, and in response to a selection of the target virtual resource or the identifier of the target virtual resource, the interactive resource is generated. Specifically, in the case where the target virtual resource includes an image material, the interactive resource is generated based on the target virtual resource including the image material. The interactive resource 340 can be used to present an animation process associated with the target visual content in the live interface of the live room.

[0054] For example, the animation process can include a preset special effect animation process of the target virtual resource and a presentation animation process associated with the target visual content. For example, the presentation animation process of the target visual content can include a presentation animation process of the target visual content from nothing to something and / or a transition animation process of the target visual content transitioning into the associated visual content.

[0055] Based on the above-described interaction process, embodiments of the present disclosure can provide an entry for users to generate virtual resources and provide target virtual resources generated based on the configuration operations of the users. Therefore, embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a way for users to generate virtual resources, meeting the needs of users to create virtual resources based on configuration operations.

[0056] Example generation process

[0057] The specific generation process of the virtual resource will be further introduced below. FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of an example process 400 of generating a virtual resource according to yet some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 400 can be implemented at the server 130. The process 400 will be described below with reference to FIG. 1.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 4, at block 410, the server 130 can determine a set of candidate visual contents associated with the user from the live content. For example, the server 130 can determine a set of candidate image frames satisfying a preset condition from a plurality of image frames of the live content. The server 130 can determine the set of candidate image frames as a set of candidate visual contents. For example, the preset condition can be to contain human image content. For example, the server 130 can also use an image processing model to screen a set of candidate image frames containing human image content from the plurality of image frames. The electronic device 110 can also remove some candidate image frames that are the same or similar in the set of candidate image frames to determine a set of candidate visual contents. For example, the image processing model can be implemented as a machine learning model with the ability to obtain image content containing human images based on visual content. The present disclosure does not intend to limit the specific content and training process of the image processing model.

[0059] At block 420, the server 130 can determine evaluation information of the set of candidate visual contents.

[0060] In some embodiments, the process of determining the evaluation information of the set of candidate visual contents by the server 130 can include identifying a set of keypoints associated with the user from the target candidate visual content. As an example, the target candidate visual content can be any candidate visual content in the set of candidate visual contents. As an example, the server 130 can utilize an image recognition model to identify the set of keypoints associated with the user from the target candidate visual content. As an example, the image processing model can be implemented as a machine learning model with the capability of identifying keypoints based on visual contents. The present disclosure does not intend to limit the specific content and training process of the image recognition model.

[0061] In some embodiments, the process of determining the evaluation information of the set of candidate visual contents by the server 130 can further include determining the evaluation information of the target candidate visual content based on the set of keypoints.

[0062] In some embodiments, the set of candidate visual contents can include a face object associated with the user. In some embodiments, the server 130 can determine a set of display parameters of the face object in the target candidate visual content based on the set of keypoints.

[0063] In some embodiments, the set of display parameters can include at least one of a display direction of the face object, an occlusion ratio of the face object, a display ratio of the face object in the corresponding image frame, and a motion state of the face object.

[0064] In some embodiments, the server 130 can determine the evaluation information of the target candidate visual content based on the set of display parameters. As an example, each display parameter can correspond to a score. The evaluation information (e.g., evaluation score) of the target candidate visual content can be determined based on the corresponding scores of the set of display parameters.

[0065] At block 430, the server 130 can determine the reference visual content from the set of candidate visual contents based on the evaluation information of the set of candidate visual contents. As an example, the server can determine the candidate visual content with the evaluation score corresponding to the evaluation information satisfying a threshold as the reference visual content based on the evaluation information of the set of candidate contents. As an example, if there are at least two candidate visual contents with the evaluation information satisfying the threshold, the server can determine the candidate visual content with the highest evaluation score corresponding to the evaluation information from the at least two candidate visual contents as the reference visual content. The present disclosure does not intend to limit the specific numerical value of the threshold.

[0066] In some embodiments, the process of generating the target virtual resource by the server 130 can include: generating the image data of the user based on the reference image content. Further, the server 130 can provide the image data and the preset prompt item to the target model. As an example, the preset prompt item can be description information for the target virtual resource to be generated. As an example, the description information can indicate an animation process of the target virtual resource and / or an association with the image data.

[0067] In some embodiments, the process of generating the target virtual resource by the server 130 can further include: the server 130 can obtain an output result output by the target model based on the image data and the preset prompt item, and generate the target virtual resource.

[0068] As an example, the target virtual resource can be video content, and the server 130 can directly take the output result of the target model as the target virtual resource.

[0069] As an example, the target virtual resource can include an interactive resource. The interactive resource can include an animation process for presenting in a live interface of a live room associated with the target visual content, and a static representation (e.g., an image representation and / or a text representation) presented in an interactive entrance. The server can generate the target virtual resource including the interactive resource based on the output result of the target model.

[0070] As an example, the target model can be a generative model capable of outputting an output result associated with the target virtual resource based on the image data and the preset prompt item. The present disclosure does not intend to limit the specific content and training process of the target model.

[0071] Based on the above-described generation process, embodiments of the present disclosure generate virtual resources based on live content provided by a user within a preset time period. Therefore, embodiments of the present disclosure can quickly generate virtual resources for a user according to the live content of the user, reducing the difficulty of the user to create virtual resources and improving the efficiency of the user to create virtual resources.
