[0021] The present disclosure will now be discussed with reference to several example implementations. It should be appreciated that these implementations are discussed only to better illustrate the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way.

[0022] It can be understood that, before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the type of personal information involved in the present disclosure, the range of use, the scenario of use, etc. should be informed to the user and the authorization of the user should be obtained in a proper manner according to relevant laws and regulations.

[0023] For example, in response to receiving an active request of a user, a prompt information is sent to the user to explicitly prompt the user that the operation requested to be performed will require obtaining and using personal information of the user. Thus, the user can voluntarily choose whether to provide personal information to the software or hardware such as an electronic device, an application program, a server or a storage medium, etc. that performs the operation of the technical solutions of the present disclosure according to the prompt information.

[0024] As an optional but non-limiting implementation manner, in response to receiving an active request of a user, the manner of sending a prompt information to the user may, for example, be a pop-up window manner, in which the prompt information can be presented in a text manner. In addition, the pop-up window can also carry a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0025] It can be understood that the above notification and obtaining of user authorization process is only illustrative and does not limit the implementation manner of the present disclosure, and other manners meeting relevant laws and regulations can also be applied to the implementation manner of the present disclosure.

[0026] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so as to more completely and thoroughly understand the present disclosure. It is understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for exemplary purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0027] In the description of embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "comprising" and its conjugations should be understood to encompass the meanings of "consisting of" and "consisting essentially of", i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. can refer to different or identical objects unless explicitly stated otherwise. Other explicit and implicit definitions can also be included below.

[0028] In this document, exemplary user interfaces are shown in the context of a smartphone, but those skilled in the art will understand that embodiments of the present disclosure are equally applicable to other devices that can have different screen aspect ratios, such as tablets, laptops, desktop computers, wearable devices with screens, and devices with foldable screens, etc. In addition, the interfaces provided herein are for illustrative purposes, some elements of which can be omitted or have different numbers, and can also include more elements not shown. In addition, the interfaces according to embodiments of the present disclosure can have different layouts from the interfaces shown in the drawings, and the positions of the various elements can also be different. The present disclosure does not limit these aspects.

[0029] The inventors have noticed that there is a lack of an effective way to display information (such as the number, total price, discount information, etc.) of items added to the shopping cart from the current live room in the existing interactive design of live shopping. Through research, it is found that when users purchase items from their shopping cart, they often only purchase products from the current live room. At this time, the information that users are most interested in is the information of the items that have been added to the shopping cart in the current live room. Therefore, the lack of current live room shopping information does not meet the user's habits, resulting in poor user experience.

[0030] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a live cart that is dedicated to the current live room and does not include items from other live rooms. For example, if a live event initiated by store A is being conducted in the current live room, the live cart according to the present disclosure only includes items from store A. Such a live cart can be referred to as a live cart or a mini cart. Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide interface designs and user interactions based on the live cart, thereby improving the user experience of users selecting and purchasing items through the live cart.

[0031] It should be noted that the present disclosure also provides a cart that can accommodate all the added items in the live application, which can include items from multiple live rooms, and is not limited to items from the current live room. Such a cart can be referred to as a total cart. It can be understood that it is also possible to settle through the total cart, and the present disclosure does not limit this aspect. In the present disclosure, the cart refers to the live cart unless otherwise specified.

[0032] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1-9.

[0033] FIG. 1 shows an exemplary interface 100 for live shopping according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. When a user participates in a live shopping event using an electronic device, the electronic device can display the interface 100 shown in FIG. 1. For example, the user joins a live room that is being conducted through a video application of the electronic device and watches the host introduce items. In some implementations, the user can click on a shopping icon on the screen to enter the interface 100 shown in FIG. 1.

[0034] The interface 100 includes a live room area 101, from which the user can watch a video stream of the current live room. The interface 100 also includes a navigation bar 102, which can include information about the current live room and one or more interactive controls, such as a cart icon 103. In some implementations, the cart icon 103 can link to the interface of the live cart, so that when the user clicks or touches the cart icon 103, the electronic device can jump to display the interface of the live cart. In some implementations, the total number of items in the live cart can be displayed in or near the cart icon 103. In some implementations, more additional information can also be displayed near the cart icon 103, such as marketing information in the form of a bubble. In some implementations, the cart icon 103 can also link to the total cart. Alternatively, the navigation bar can display icons for both the live cart and the total cart, which can have different graphics or symbols.

[0035] When the shopping cart icon 103 is linked to the current live room shopping cart and no items have been added to the shopping cart, user interaction with the shopping cart icon 103 can cause the interface to jump to an interface as shown in FIG. 2, which illustrates an example interface 200 showing that the live room shopping cart is empty.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2, the title 211 of the interface 200 indicates that the current interface 200 is the shopping cart of Store A (i.e., the current live room). In the interface 200, the interface element 212 prompts that the shopping cart of the current live room is empty. The interface element 213 can prompt to “go back to the live room,” and when the user interacts with the interface element 213, the interface 200 can jump back to the interface 100 shown in FIG. 1. The interface element 214 can be linked to the total shopping cart, and when the user interacts with the interface element 214, the interface 200 can jump to the interface of the total shopping cart, thus showing the user all the items that have been added to the shopping cart.

[0037] Returning to FIG. 1, below the navigation bar 102 is the point of interest information 104 about live shopping. The point of interest information 104 can arouse the user’s interest to trigger shopping behavior, which can be discount information, delivery information (e.g., delivery fee reduction), etc.

[0038] The interface 100 also includes a list of items of the current live room. As shown, the current live room is offering item 1, item 2, item 3, or more. The user can perform up and down swipe operations in the interface 100 to browse more items. In the interface 100, the region 105 includes relevant information of item 1, including a picture 108 of item 1, a textual introduction (e.g., name, attributes, price, etc.), etc. In some implementations, the region 105 can also include one or more pieces of point of interest information (not shown) about item 1.

[0039] The region 105 also includes a control 106 for directly purchasing the item and a control 107 for adding the item to the shopping cart. When the user decides to immediately purchase the item, clicking or touching the control 106 causes the interface 100 to jump to a checkout interface to purchase the item alone. When the user decides to add the item to the shopping cart, clicking or touching the control 107 causes the item to be added to the live room shopping cart (correspondingly, to the total shopping cart).

[0040] In some embodiments, in response to the user clicking or touching the control 107, an animation can be presented on the interface 100 that item 1 is added to the shopping cart, for example, an animation that the picture 108 of item 1 flies into the shopping cart icon 103, while the number of items displayed in or near the shopping cart icon 103 can be updated accordingly, i.e., incremented by 1. Once the user decides to proceed to the shopping cart for checkout, the user can click or touch the shopping cart icon 103, causing the interface 100 to jump to an interface for checkout of the items in the shopping cart of the current live streaming room, which will be described below with reference to FIG. 4.

[0041] FIG. 3 shows an exemplary interface 300 for live streaming shopping, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, which includes an interactive element 310 dedicated to the shopping cart of the current live streaming room. The user can select items to purchase on the interface 300. In some embodiments, if there is no item in the shopping cart of the current live streaming room, the interactive element 310 can not be displayed.

[0042] In some embodiments, in response to the user clicking the control in the interface 100 for adding items of the current live streaming room to the shopping cart, for example, the control 107, the interface 300 can be presented. For example, the interactive element 310 can slide in from the bottom of the interface 100. Thereafter, the user can continue to perform operations of adding more items to the shopping cart.

[0043] As shown, the interactive element 210 occupies the bottom of the interface 200 and has a bar shape. The interactive element 210 can also have other forms, for example, being displayed at other positions of the interface 200, such as the left side, the right side, or the top; the interactive element 210 can also have other geometric shapes, which are not limited by the present disclosure.

[0044] The interactive element 310 can indicate that at least one item of the current live streaming room has been added to the shopping cart. As shown, the interactive element 310 can include pictures 330 of the items of the current live streaming room that have been added to the shopping cart. If there are multiple items added to the shopping cart, the pictures can be arranged in a partially overlapping manner, and in some implementations, the picture of the most recently added item can be arranged to the top, thereby intuitively providing the user with information of the items of the current live streaming room that have been added to the shopping cart. In some embodiments, when an item is added to the shopping cart, an animation can be presented that the picture of the item currently being added to the shopping cart (e.g., the picture 308 of item 1) falls into the picture area 330 of the interactive element 310. Such design is more consistent with the intuitive feeling of the item being added to the shopping cart. In some implementations, the number 350 of the items that have been added to the shopping cart, for example, “2”, can also be displayed near the pictures 330, indicating that there are two items (which can be of the same or different categories) in the shopping cart.

[0045] The interactable element 310 can also include interest point information 340 in textual form. The interest point information 340 is used to pique the user’s interest to trigger entry into the cart page for consumption. In some embodiments, the interest point information 340 can include the total price of the at least one item that has been added to the cart of the current live room, the number of items, the discount information of the items, and / or the delivery information of these items (e.g., delivery fee, whether to be exempted, etc.). The interactable element 310 can provide more space to display additional information such as the interest point.

[0046] The interactable element 310 also includes a control 320 linked to the cart (“Go to Cart”). When receiving a user’s interactive operation with the control 320, the interface 300 can jump to an interface dedicated to the cart of the current live room, such as the interface 400 shown in FIG. 4.

[0047] The interface 300 can also include a cart icon 303 located above the list of items. When receiving a user’s interactive operation with the cart icon 303, the interface 300 can also jump to an interface dedicated to the cart of the current live room. In some embodiments, the cart icon can always be displayed, i.e., whether the live room cart is empty or includes items, it is displayed on the interface (e.g., the icon 103 in the interface 100, the icon 303 in the interface 300). Alternatively, the cart icon can only be displayed when the live room cart is empty (e.g., the icon 103 in the interface 100); when the cart includes at least one item, the interface 300 can not display the cart icon 303.

[0048] FIG. 4 shows an exemplary interface 400 of a live room cart, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, in which information of items that have been added to the live room cart is displayed. In some embodiments, the interface 400 can be displayed when the user clicks or touches the icon 303 or the control 320.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 4, at the top of the interface 400, information 411 of the current live room cart is shown (“Cart of Shop A”). The interface 400 also includes one or more regions 412 of items of the current live room, where each region 412 includes a separate selection control 413 and an adjustment number control 414, as well as detailed information of the corresponding item, such as the name, attributes, price, etc. In the default state after entering the interface 400, the controls 413 of all items can be selected altogether, so as to prompt the user to consume and settle as soon as possible.

[0050] Interface 400 also includes a control 415 linked to the total shopping cart, which, when clicked or touched by the user, causes interface 400 to jump to an interface of the total shopping cart, showing information of items added to the total shopping cart from all live rooms. Interface 400 also includes a region 416 showing a breakdown of costs of items in the live room shopping cart, a region 417 showing the total cost, and a checkout control 418. Checkout control 418 prompts the user to checkout for items in the current live room. In the case that the user decides to checkout and touches checkout control 418, interface 400 can jump to a checkout interface for completing checkout of items in the shopping cart.

[0051] FIG. 5 shows an exemplary interface 500 for completing checkout of items, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown, interface 500 includes a region 511 for confirming or modifying a shipping address, a region 512 for confirming or selecting a payment method, a region 513 for displaying checkout information, and a region 514 for confirming payment. By clicking or touching region 514, the user will perform a payment operation, completing a purchase for items in the live room shopping cart.

[0052] The above describes an exemplary process of a user shopping in a live room, including jumping from the interface 300 of picking items in a live room to the shopping cart interface 400, and then to the checkout interface 500. In some embodiments, the user can also jump from the interface of picking items in a live room directly to the checkout interface, i.e., skipping the shopping cart interface to complete shopping directly, thereby saving user operations and improving user experience.

[0053] FIG. 6 shows an exemplary interface 600 for live shopping, including another example of an interactive element for a live room shopping cart, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. A user can pick items of the current live room on interface 600 to add them to the shopping cart. As shown, interface 610 includes a control 630 linked to a checkout interface, confirming checkout for items in the shopping cart. When receiving a user operation for the second control, interface 600 can jump to, for example, interface 500 shown in FIG. 5, thereby enabling fast checkout.

[0054] To facilitate the user to perform quick settlement, the interface 600 can further include a control 620 for displaying summary information of the items that have been added to the shopping cart. For example, the summary information can include price information, quantity, point of interest information, etc. of the items that have been added to the shopping cart. In this way, the user can directly obtain the information of the items that have been added to the shopping cart on the interface 600 to decide whether to directly settle, without the need to additionally jump to the shopping cart interface. In some embodiments, the control 620 can be linked to the shopping cart interface, and when the user interacts with the control 620, the interface 600 can jump to the shopping cart interface, such as the interface 400 shown in FIG. 4. In some embodiments, a graphic or symbol indicating the hot zone (i.e., having interactive ability), such as “>”, can be displayed within or near the control 620 to prompt the user to interact therewith.

[0055] Similar to the interface 300, the interface 600 can include a shopping cart icon 603 located above the item list, which is linked to the interface of the live room shopping cart. In some embodiments, when there are already items in the shopping cart, the shopping cart icon 603 can not be displayed. Alternatively, the shopping cart icon 603 can always be displayed, regardless of whether there are items in the shopping cart.

[0056] The above describes the interface design and interaction process for live shopping according to embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to FIGS. 1-6. Compared to the existing total shopping cart design for all live rooms, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a shopping cart and corresponding interface design and interaction process that are specific to the current live room, thereby more effectively presenting information of interest to the user during the live broadcast, improving the user experience.

[0057] FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of an information processing method 700 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The method 700 can be implemented by any electronic device having computing and display capabilities. At block 410, a first user interface is displayed, the first user interface including an item list of a current live room and an interactive element of a virtual container specific to the current live room, the virtual container being specific to holding items of the current live room. At block 720, a first user operation directed to the interactive element is received. At block 730, in response to the first user operation, a second user interface for the virtual container is displayed, the second user interface displaying information of at least one item that has been added to the virtual container. By way of example only, the first user interface can be the interface 300 in FIG. 3 or the interface 600 in FIG. 6, and the second user interface can be the interface 400 in FIG. 4. The interactive element can be, for example, the control 310 in FIG. 3 or the control 610 in FIG. 6.

[0058] In some embodiments, the interactable element can include a first control linked to the second user interface, and the first user operation includes an interaction operation with the first control. For example, the first control can be the control 320 in FIG. 3 or the control 620 in FIG. 6.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first control displays summary information of the at least one item that has been added to the virtual container. The summary information can include at least price information of the at least one item.

[0060] In some embodiments, the interactable element further includes a second control linked to a third user interface, the method 700 can further include: receiving a second user operation for the second control; and in response to the second user operation, displaying the third user interface, the third user interface being for completing settlement of the at least one item therein. For example, the second control can be the control 630 in FIG. 6.

[0061] In some embodiments, the second user interface can include a third control linked to a third user interface, the third control prompting settlement of the items of the current live room. For example, the third control is the control 514 in FIG. 5.

[0062] In some embodiments, the method 700 can further include: in response to determining that the virtual container is empty, not displaying the interactable element.

[0063] In some embodiments, the method 700 can further include: receiving a third user operation of adding the items of the current live room to the virtual container; and in response to the third user operation, displaying the interactable element on the first user interface.

[0064] In some embodiments, the interactable element occupies a bottom portion of the first user interface.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first user interface can further include: an icon for the virtual container located above the list of items, the icon being linked to the second user interface. The icon can be the icon 303 in FIG. 3 or the icon 603 in FIG. 6.

[0066] In some embodiments, the method 700 can further include: in response to determining that the virtual container is not empty, not displaying the icon.

[0067] In some embodiments, the virtual container is a first virtual container, and the second user interface further includes a fourth control linked to a second virtual container, the second virtual container being for containing items of a plurality of live rooms including the current live room.

[0068] In some embodiments, the interactable element can further include pictures of the at least one item arranged in a partially overlapped manner.

[0069] In some embodiments, the nearby of the picture displays a number of at least one item.

[0070] In some embodiments, the interactive element can further include point of interest information about the current live room, the point of interest information being used to arouse the interest of the user to trigger the user operation on the interactive element.

[0071] In some embodiments, the virtual container can be a shopping cart.
