[0030] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example Interaction

[0032] An example interaction process according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2A-2D. FIGS. 2A-2D illustrate example interfaces 200A-200D, which can be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in FIG. 1, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 2A, the electronic device 110 can present, for example, an interface 200A, which can be a target interface associated with a target user set. The target user set can include a plurality of users, which can be any suitable users using the application 120. As an example, the interface 200A can be a chat interface of a group in which the target user set is located, and the like.

[0034] Taking FIG. 2A as an example, the interface 200A can be a chat interface associated with the user 210, the user 220, and the user 140.

[0035] In some embodiments, the target user set corresponding to the user 210, the user 220, and the user 140 can be created by any user, such as being created by the user 210 and then inviting the user 140 and the user 220 to form, or being created by the user 140 himself.

[0036] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can display a set creation control on the interface to support the user 140 to create a group based on the set creation control. The electronic device 110 can create an initial group including a single user, for example, the user 140, in response to receiving a selection of the set creation control by the user 140. The electronic device 110 can display an invitation control associated with the initial group on a chat interface corresponding to the initial group to indicate that the user 140 can select users to invite. The electronic device 110 can send an invitation message to target devices corresponding to the user 210 and the user 220 in response to the invitation confirmation of the user 210 and the user 220. The electronic device 110 can display a target interface associated with a target group (target user set) in response to receiving a confirmation of the invitation message by the user 210 and the user 220, where the target group is a group built on the basis of the initial group by adding the user 210 and the user 220.

[0037] In some embodiments, the initial group can be created by a user other than the user 140, such as the user 210. The electronic device 110 can display an invitation message on the interface, indicating that the user 140 can join the initial group created by the user 210. The electronic device 110 can display a target interface associated with a target group (a target set of users) in response to receiving a confirmation of the invitation message from the user 140, where the target group is constructed based on the initial group with the user 140 joined. The user 220 can also be included in the target group, and the user 220 can join the group in the same manner, which is not described herein.

[0038] In some embodiments, when the user 140 joins the group for the first time (such as when the creator creates the group or when the user 140 accepts an invitation from another user to join a group created by the other user), the electronic device 110 can present target prompt information to the user 140 in the target interface, where the target prompt information is used to prompt the user 140 about the play of the corresponding interactive function in the group, such as the play of generating media content based on the image data of the virtual object of the user included in the group, and the like. In some embodiments, the target prompt information can be provided by a target virtual object, which can be a smart robot, a smart assistant, and the like, which is not described herein. The number of target virtual objects can be set according to requirements, such as 1, 2, 3, and the like. When other users other than the user 140 join the group for the first time, the target prompt information can also be displayed on the target device of the other users 140.

[0039] Taking FIG. 2A as an example, the electronic device 110 can obtain an input message via the interface 200A, where the input message indicates a reference to at least one of the user 140, the user 220, and the user 230. The electronic device 110 can provide an input box in the interface 200A to support the user 140 to input the input message indicating the reference to the at least one user in the input box. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive the input message indicating the reference to the first user, i.e., the input message indicating the reference to one user. The electronic device 110 can also receive the input message indicating the reference to the first user and at least one second user, i.e., the input message indicating the reference to multiple users.

[0040] As an example, the user 140 can input text content (input information) related to at least one user in the input box, such as the user 140 can input the information of “please help me generate a photo of the user 210” in the input box. As another example, the user can input input information indicating a reference of at least one user via a prompt control, which can be a mention control (e.g., @), such as the user 140 can input the information of “please help me generate a photo @user 211 @user 220”.

[0041] In some embodiments, taking FIG. 2A as an example, the electronic device 110 can present a selfie control 292 in the interface 200A to support the user 140 to select at least one user in the target user set, and then generate media content based on the appearance data of the virtual object corresponding to the at least one user. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can present selection controls corresponding to each user in the target user set in the interface 200A in response to receiving a selection of the selfie control 292, to support the user 140 to select the at least one user. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can display reference content about the at least one user in the input box of the interface 200A in response to receiving a selection of the selection control of the at least one user in the target user set, to guide the user 140 to confirm that the media content can be generated based on the way of referencing the at least one user. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can obtain the input message via the interface 200A in response to receiving a selection of the send control associated with the input box.

[0042] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can present the media content generated based on the input information, which can be any appropriate type of content, such as a video, an image, and the like, which will not be described here.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can generate media content generated based on the first appearance data corresponding to the first virtual object in response to obtaining the input message indicating the reference of the first user. The first virtual object corresponds to the referenced first user.

[0044] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can generate media content generated based on the first appearance data corresponding to the first virtual object and the second appearance data corresponding to the second virtual object in response to obtaining the input message indicating the reference of the first user and the at least one second user. The first virtual object corresponds to the referenced first user. The second virtual object corresponds to the referenced at least one second user.

[0045] The virtual object can be any suitable object, which can also be referred to as a "virtual character" or a "user avatar", etc. The appearance data can include any suitable data, such as can include facial feature data, hairstyle data, clothing data, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0046] In some embodiments, the media content can be generated based on a target model and the input information, the target model can be any suitable deep learning network, deep learning model, etc., for generating the media content.

[0047] To improve the quality of the generated media content, in some embodiments, the input information can include a prompt item in addition to indicating a reference to at least one of the plurality of users, where the prompt item is used to guide the target model to generate what kind of media content, how to generate the media content, etc. As an example, the prompt item can be used to guide the target model to generate a scene corresponding to the generated media content.

[0048] Taking FIG. 2A as an example, the electronic device 110 can obtain the input information 230 via the interface 200A, the input information 230 indicating a reference to the user 210 and the user 220, and including a prompt item that the scene of the generated media content is walking in the sunset.

[0049] The electronic device 110 can generate media content of the user 210 corresponding to the user avatar and the user 220 corresponding to the user avatar walking in the sunset based on the input information 230. Taking FIG. 2B as an example, the media content 240 can be presented in the interface 200B.

[0050] In some embodiments, when a user joins a target user set, the authorization of the user regarding the virtual appearance can be obtained based on the confirmation operation of the user, and the appearance data corresponding to the virtual appearance of the user or the generated media content based on the appearance data can be used based on the preset authorization.

[0051] In some embodiments, the user can set specific permissions for the users in the target set. Such permissions can include but are not limited to: allowing the use of virtual appearance data, only allowing the viewing of media content generated based on the appearance data, not allowing the use of appearance data and not allowing the viewing of generated media content.

[0052] In some scenarios, such authorization can be for all users in the target user set. Alternatively, a separate permission range can also be set for each user in the target user set.

[0053] For example, the user can authorize other users in the target set of users to use the virtual object of the user. As an example, after the user joins the target set of users, the user can authorize other users in the target set of users to generate media content using the virtual object of the user. In some embodiments, after the user joins the target set of users, the user can also not authorize a specific user in the target set of users to generate media content using the virtual object of the user. In some embodiments, after the user joins the target set of users, the user can also authorize some users in the target set of users to generate media content using the virtual object of the user, and not authorize other users in the target set of users to generate media content using the virtual object of the user.

[0054] In some embodiments, for a target user in the target set of users who is not authorized to use the virtual object of the user, the user can authorize the target user to view media content generated using the virtual object of the user. In some embodiments, for a target user in the target set of users who is not authorized to use the virtual object of the user, the user can also not authorize the target user to view media content generated using the virtual object of the user, i.e., the target user has neither the right to use nor the right to view media content generated based on the virtual object of the user.

[0055] In some embodiments, the user can also refuse to join the target set of users.

[0056] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can display a first message generated based on the media content in the target interface in response to receiving a preset operation associated with the media content. The preset operation can be any suitable operation, such as a click operation, a swipe operation, and the like. In some embodiments, if the input message indicates a reference to the first user, the first message indicates a reference to the first user. In some embodiments, if the input message indicates a reference to the first user and at least one second user, the first message can indicate a reference to the first user and at least one second user (if the first user and at least one second user include the current user), and can also indicate the first user, at least one second user, and the current user (if the first user and at least one second user do not include the current user).

[0057] As an example, in response to receiving that the user 140 inputs “please generate a photo @ user 220” via the target interface, the electronic device 110 can display a first message indicating a reference to the user 140 and the user 220. Taking FIG. 2B as an example, the electronic device 110 can display a first message 250 generated based on the media content 240 in the interface 200B.

[0058] In some embodiments, for the media content generated based on the operation of the user 140 or the media content generated based on the appearance data of the virtual object corresponding to the user 140, the electronic device 110 can present a corresponding delete control in the target interface for this media content to support that the user 140 can delete this media content.

[0059] In some embodiments, for the media content generated based on the operation of the user 140 or the media content generated based on the appearance data of the virtual object corresponding to the user 140, the electronic device 110 can present a corresponding delete control in the target interface for this media content to support that the user 140 can delete this media content.

[0060] In some embodiments, after the user 140 publishes this media content, the publishing interface can display references to the users in the target user set associated with this media content to remind the user to view this media content. The users associated with the media content can be each user in the target user set, the user 140 who publishes this media content, and the user referenced in the input message that generates this media content, and the like. In order to improve the user experience, in some embodiments, the user can set the notification permission when publishing the media content to support that only when the published media content is published by oneself or the input message that generates this media content includes a reference to oneself, the user will be reminded to view.

[0061] The media content generated based on the operation of the user 140 can be the media content generated based on the input information input by the user 140, which can indicate a reference to the user 140 or not, but indicates a reference to other users. The media content generated based on the appearance data of the virtual object corresponding to the user 140 can be generated based on the target input information input by other users, and the target input information indicates a reference to the user 140, or can be generated based on the input information input by the user 140 indicating a reference to the user 140.

[0062] For example, the media content 240 shown in FIG. 2B is generated based on the input information input by the user 140, and the media content 240 is generated based on the image data of the virtual object 211 corresponding to the user 210 and the image data of the virtual object 212 corresponding to the user 220. The user 140, the user 210, and the user 220 have the permission to delete or publish the media content 240, and other users do not have the permission to delete or publish the media content 240.

[0063] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also receive a predetermined operation performed on the media content 240 by a plurality of users in the target user set, and the predetermined operation can be any suitable operation, such as a like operation, a comment operation, and the like, which will not be described herein.

[0064] For example, with respect to the media content 260 displayed in the interface 200C shown in FIG. 2C, the electronic device 110 can present an editing control corresponding to the media content 260 in the interface 200C to support the user 140 to perform an editing operation on the media content 260. The electronic device 110 can receive an editing request for the media content 260 displayed in the interface 200C. The electronic device 110 can present the editing control, and the editing control displays the input information used to generate the media content 260. The media content 260 can be generated by any suitable target user in the target user set, and the media content is generated based on the input information input by the target user. The input information input by the target user can at least indicate a reference to at least one user in the target user set. The input information input by the target user can also include a target prompt item.

[0065] For example, with respect to the media content 260 displayed in the interface 200C shown in FIG. 2C, the electronic device 110 can present an editing control corresponding to the media content 260 in the interface 200C to support the user 140 to perform an editing operation on the media content 260. The electronic device 110 can receive an editing request for the media content 260 displayed in the interface 200C. The electronic device 110 can present the editing control, and the editing control displays the input information used to generate the media content 260. The media content 260 can be generated by any suitable target user in the target user set, and the media content is generated based on the input information input by the target user. The input information input by the target user can at least indicate a reference to at least one user in the target user set. The input information input by the target user can also include a target prompt item.

[0066] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can obtain third input information via the editing control, where the third input information can be input information modified by the user 140 based on the second input information, input information re-input by the user 140, and the like, which will not be described herein.

[0067] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can determine the modified input information as the third input information in response to receiving a modification of the reference to the at least one user indicated in the second input information in the edit control. Specifically, the modification of the reference to the at least one user can be adding a reference to a user, deleting a reference to a user, replacing a reference to a user, and the like. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a modification of the edit control from “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140” to “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140 @ user 220”, and determine the third input information as “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140 @ user 220”.

[0068] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can determine the modified input information as the third input information in response to receiving a modification of the reference to the at least one user indicated in the second input information in the edit control. Specifically, the modification of the reference to the at least one user can be adding a reference to a user, deleting a reference to a user, replacing a reference to a user, and the like. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a modification of the edit control from “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140” to “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140 @ user 220”, and determine the third input information as “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140 @ user 220”.

[0069] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can determine the modified input information as the third input information in response to receiving a modification of the reference to the at least one user indicated in the second input information in the edit control. Specifically, the modification of the reference to the at least one user can be adding a reference to a user, deleting a reference to a user, replacing a reference to a user, and the like. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a modification of the edit control from “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140” to “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140 @ user 220”, and determine the third input information as “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140 @ user 220”.

[0070] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can generate a fourth media content based on the third input information and the target model. The electronic device 110 can present the media content generated based on the third input information. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a modification of the edit control 280 from “please help me generate a walk in the sunset @ user 140” to “please help me generate a walk on the lawn @ user 140”, and generate the media content 290 as shown in FIG. 2D.

[0071] Referring back to FIG. 2A, the electronic device 110 can present an invitation control 291 in the interface 200A to support the user 140 to invite a user to join the target user set.

[0072] As an example, FIG. 2A, the electronic device 110 can present, in the interface 200A, a photo generation control 293 to support that the user 140 can generate media content based on the appearance data of the virtual object corresponding to the user 140. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can receive a selection of the photo generation control 293 by the user 140, and generate media content based on the appearance data of the virtual object 213 corresponding to the user 140.

[0073] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can present, in the publishing interface, a set of media content published by respective users using the application 120.
