[0024] In this way, embodiments of this disclosure can present target elements related to the live streaming status of the second live streaming provider to the user on the live streaming preview interface of the first live streaming provider. Furthermore, this disclosure can present the user with an access point associated with the second live streaming provider based on the user's preset actions on the target elements. Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure can enable the current user to quickly access the second live streaming provider by presenting the target elements of the second live streaming provider on the live streaming preview interface, thereby meeting the user's need to watch live streaming content and improving the efficiency of the user's live streaming viewing.

[0025] The following section provides a detailed description of various example implementations of this scheme, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example Environment

[0027] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in Figure 1, the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110.

[0028] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 can run an application 120 that supports user interface interaction.

[0033] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0034] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings to illustrate some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0035] Example Interaction

[0036] Figures 2A to 2D illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200D according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 200A to 200D may be provided, for example, by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2A, electronic device 110 may present preview interface 200A. Electronic device 110 may present live preview content of the first live streamer on the preview interface. As an example, the live preview content may include content presented by the first live streamer during the live stream. As an example, electronic device 110 may, in response to a preset operation (e.g., a click operation) on preview interface 200A, present a live interface associated with the first live streamer.

[0038] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG2A, the electronic device 110 may present the target element 205 in the preview interface 200A.

[0039] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present the target element 205 in the preview interface 200A in response to the preview interface 200A being presented for a preset duration (e.g., 10 seconds). As an example, the electronic device 110 may present the target element 205 in the preview interface 200A based on the user's dwell time (or browsing time) on the preview interface 200A reaching a preset duration (e.g., 10 seconds).

[0040] In some embodiments, target element 205 may indicate the live streaming status of a second live streamer associated with the current user. As an example, target element 205 may directly indicate that the second live streamer is currently live streaming.

[0041] In other embodiments, the target element 205 may indicate the live streaming status of the second live streamer based on an indicator element. The live streaming status may include, for example, live streaming not started, live streaming in progress, live streaming ended, etc. For example, the electronic device 110 may present a preset indicator element (e.g., a graphic element indicating live streaming (not shown in the figure)) or text content (e.g., “live streaming in progress”, “live streaming is about to start”) in the target element 205 to indicate the live streaming status of the second live streamer.

[0042] As an example, electronic device 110 can display the identification information of the second live streamer in the target element 205. As an example, the identification information may include the second live streamer's avatar identifier (e.g., avatar 205-1) and / or name identifier. As an example, electronic device 110 can dynamically display the target element 205 in the preview interface 200A. For example, electronic device 110 can adjust the display state (e.g., show and disappear) of the target element (e.g., avatar 205-1) based on a preset frequency (e.g., once per second). For example, electronic device 110 can adjust the display color of the outline element that indicates the boundary of avatar 205-1 based on a preset frequency (e.g., once per second).

[0043] In some embodiments, the second live streamer may include a live streamer currently followed by the user. For example, the second live streamer may include the live streamer corresponding to a live stream event that the user has booked. For instance, the user booked the live stream event before it started. For example, target element 205 may include an indicator element 205-2 showing the association between the second live streamer and the first live streamer (e.g., "Your Followers" or "Your Bookings").

[0044] In some embodiments, a current user may follow multiple live streamers or have already booked multiple live stream interactions. Based on this, the electronic device 110 can identify a group of live streamers associated with the current user. Further, the electronic device 110 can determine the status information of a group of live streamers. As an example, the status information may indicate whether the live streamer is currently hosting a live stream. As an example, if only one live streamer is currently hosting a live stream, the electronic device 110 can identify the live streamer hosting the live stream as the second live streamer.

[0045] Alternatively, in some cases, if there are at least two live streamers currently hosting a live stream event, electronic device 110 can identify a second live streamer from at least one (e.g., two or more) live streamers.

[0046] Specifically, the electronic device 110 can determine a second live streamer from at least one live streamer based on the historical interaction information between the current user and at least one live streamer.

[0047] In some embodiments, historical interaction information may indicate whether the current user has visited the live streaming interface of at least one live streaming party after the live streaming party has started broadcasting. For example, the at least one live streaming party currently broadcasting may include live streaming party A and live streaming party B. Electronic device 110 may determine that live streaming party B is the second live streaming party in response to the current user having visited the live streaming interface of live streaming party A after the live streaming party A started broadcasting.

[0048] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG2A, the electronic device 110 may respond to a preset operation (e.g., a click operation or a long press operation) on the target element 205 to an access point associated with the second live streaming party.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2B, electronic device 110 may present an access point 215 associated with the second live streamer. As an example, electronic device 110 may present identification information associated with the second live streamer in the access point 215. The identification information may include, for example, an avatar identifier and a name identifier (e.g., "User 1"). Furthermore, electronic device 110 may present, for example, an indicator element 216 indicating the association between the current user and the second live streamer (e.g., the text content "Frequently Viewed Today"). Further, electronic device 110 may present a live stream interface associated with the second live streamer in response to a triggering of the access point 215 (e.g., a click operation).

[0050] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG2B, the electronic device 110 may display in the information panel 225 the access entry 215 associated with the second live broadcaster, the current user's following information, appointment information and / or viewing history, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG2A, the electronic device 110 may present the target element 205 in the preview interface 200A in response to the information panel 225 being in a hidden state.

[0052] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG2B, the electronic device 110 can expand the information panel 225 in the preview interface 200B to display the access entry 215. As an example, the electronic device 110 can expand the information panel 225 and access the access entry 215 in response to a preset operation on the target element (e.g., a click operation or a long press operation).

[0053] Alternatively or additionally, access point 215 may be a target access point. Electronic device 110 may present multiple access points associated with multiple live streaming parties. Multiple access points may include, for example, a target access point (e.g., access point 215), access point 217-1, access point 217-2, access point 217-3, etc.

[0054] For example, electronic device 110 can display the target access point at a preset position among multiple access points. As an example, electronic device 110 can display the target access point at position 220 (e.g., access point 215), that is, the target access point is displayed first among multiple access points. In this way, the present disclosure can enhance the prominence of the target access point and improve the efficiency of users accessing the live broadcast interface of the second live broadcaster.

[0055] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG2A, the electronic device 110 may stop displaying the target element 205 in the preview interface 200A in response to not receiving an interactive operation (e.g., a click operation or a long press operation) for the target element 205 within a preset time period (e.g., within 10 seconds).

[0056] As an example, continuing to refer to Figure 2A, the electronic device 110 can display the target element 205 in the target component 206 of the preview interface 200A. As an example, the target component 206 can be permanently configured in the preview interface 200A.

[0057] Alternatively or additionally, as shown in Figure 2C, the electronic device 110 may switch the target component 206 to display preset guidance content in response to no interactive operation received for the target element 205 within a preset time period (e.g., 10 seconds). As an example, the preset guidance content 208 may include, for example, "Live Discovery".

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2D, the electronic device 110 may expand the information panel 225 in the preview interface 200D in response to a click operation on the preset guidance content 208. As an example, the electronic device 110 may display multiple access points in the information panel 225. As an example, the positions of the multiple access points in the information panel 225 may be determined according to a preset sorting rule. For example, the access point 215 associated with the second live streamer may be displayed at a corresponding position in the information panel 225 according to the preset sorting rule, and it may not be guaranteed to be displayed at the top of the multiple access points.

[0059] Figure 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example process 300 for live interactive communication according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Process 300 can be implemented at electronic device 110. Process 300 will now be described with reference to Figures 2A and 2B.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3, the electronic device 110 may receive signals (or data) in the signal layer 305 and process the signals and perform operations associated with the signals in the consumption layer 315.

[0061] As an example, electronic device 110 can receive signals using signal receiver 304. As an example, the signal may include foreground / background switching 302-1. Foreground / background switching 302-1 may indicate whether the aforementioned application used to present the live broadcast interface (e.g., a live broadcast application) is switched to the presentation application interface (e.g., as shown in FIG2A, it may include, but is not limited to, the preview interface 200A).

[0062] As an example, continuing to refer to Figure 3, the signal may include main label switching 302-2.

[0063] For example, as shown in Figure 2A, the main label may include label 207-1 (e.g., "Live"), label 207-2 (e.g., "Shop"), and label 207-3 (e.g., "Recommendations"). The main label switch 302-2 of the electronic device 110 may indicate the currently selected main label (e.g., label 207-1).

[0064] As an example, continuing to refer to Figure 3, the signal may include a sliding information stream 302-3. As an example, the sliding information stream 302-3 may indicate the current user's interaction information with the current display interface and the historical display interface of the electronic device 110 (e.g., browsing duration, swiping operation, etc.).

[0065] As an example, electronic device 110 can perform corresponding operations using the consumption layer based on the signals acquired by signal collector 304.

[0066] In box 306, electronic device 110 can create a view. For example, as shown in Figure 2A, electronic device 110 can create content associated with target element 205, such as avatar 205-1 and text label 205-2, in response to presenting a preview interface associated with the first live streamer. The target element is associated with the second live streamer, and the current user has not viewed the live stream interface of the second live streamer.

[0067] In box 308, electronic device 110 can add a view in response to no click operation received within a preset time period. For example, as shown in Figure 2A, electronic device 110 can display target element 205 in preview interface 200A.

[0068] In box 310, the electronic device 110 can display a start animation. For example, as shown in Figure 2A, the electronic device 110 can dynamically display the target element 205.

[0069] In box 312, electronic device 110 can perform a repeat visit area verification. For example, electronic device 110 can check whether the current user has clicked on target element 205-1.

[0070] In box 314, electronic device 110 can incrementally update the frequently viewed skylight (e.g., information panel 225, which can also be called a skylight) in response to a click operation. For example, as shown in FIG2B, electronic device 110 can display information panel 225 in response to receiving a click operation on target element 205-1, and associate the "Today's Favorites" 216 in information panel 225 with the access entry 215 corresponding to target element 205-1.

[0071] In box 214, electronic device 110 can remove the view in response to the absence of a click operation. For example, as shown in FIG2A, electronic device 110 can stop displaying target element 205 in preview interface 200A in response to the absence of a click operation on target element 205.

[0072] In box 318, electronic device 110 can delete data. For example, electronic device 110 can delete the data associated with target element 205 in response to stopping the rendering of target element 205 in preview interface 200A.

[0073] Based on the interaction process described above, embodiments of this disclosure can present target elements of the live streamer associated with the user on the live stream preview interface, allowing the user to quickly jump to the live streamer's interface based on the target elements. Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure can improve the efficiency of users watching live streams, thereby meeting user needs.
