[0030] 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.

[0031] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0032] Example Interaction

[0033] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrates an example interaction process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0034] Figures 2A to 2D illustrate example live streaming interfaces 200A to 200D according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Live streaming interfaces 200A to 200D can be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, the live streaming interfaces 200A to 200D can be associated with a live streaming room to display the layout of the live streaming room. In some scenarios, a live streaming room refers to a virtual live streaming scene created on a live streaming platform, which may also be called a live streaming session.

[0036] In some embodiments, live interactive events may include appropriate types of interactive events occurring in the live room (also known as a live session), such as a multi-user interaction event. For example, multiple users in the live room can participate in a multi-user interaction event to chat, perform, sing in a round, sing in a chorus, or engage in various other types of interaction.

[0037] In some embodiments, a live interactive event can be associated with a group of participants. Taking Figure 2A as an example, this group of participants can be the host participating in the live chat event, and users B through I.

[0038] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can display a set of screens corresponding to a group of participants in a first layout on the live streaming interface 200A. As shown in Figure 2A, the electronic device can display screens 201 to 209 in a 3*3 grid layout on the live streaming interface 200A. Specifically, screen 201 is the screen corresponding to the broadcaster, screen 202 is the screen corresponding to user B, and so on. Of course, the first layout can also be any other suitable layout, which will not be elaborated here.

[0039] In some embodiments, screens 201 to 209 may include visual identifiers of the participants, real-time images, or other appropriate image content.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2A, the administrator of the live interactive event (e.g., the broadcaster) can select screen 202 corresponding to user B (at the current time, the number of participants configured to be associated with the target display priority among the broadcaster, user B, and user I is less than a first quantity threshold, for example, 2). At this time, the electronic device can display a configuration control 210 (first configuration control) for user B. This configuration control 210 can be a control corresponding to the zoomed-in screen, and it can be used to configure user B to be associated with the target display priority. As an example, the priority of the screen corresponding to user B, which is associated with the target display priority, can be higher than the priority of other screens. The first quantity threshold can be 1 or any other appropriate quantity threshold, which will not be elaborated here.

[0041] Furthermore, the electronic device can, in response to receiving a selection on the configuration control 210, configure user B to be associated with a target display priority.

[0042] In some embodiments, to improve the user experience of a participant configured to be associated with a target display priority, the client associated with the participant configured to be associated with the target display priority may present a reminder message before the electronic device configures user B to be associated with the target display priority, prompting user B to confirm whether they agree to be configured to be associated with the target display priority. The electronic device 110 may, in response to receiving a reply from user B confirming their agreement to be associated with the target display priority, set user B to be associated with the target display priority.

[0043] Using Figures 2A and 2B as examples, the electronic device can, in response to a first configuration operation where user B (from user B to user I) is configured as an associated user during live streaming, adjust the layout of the live streaming interface from the layout shown in Figure 2A to the layout shown in Figure 2B. The layout shown in Figure 2A can be referred to as the first layout, and the layout shown in Figure 2B can be referred to as the second layout. In this case, the first configuration operation configures the number of screens with a target display priority in the live streaming interface to be 1. Screen 202 corresponding to user B has a target display priority in the layout shown in Figure 2B. As an example, the display priority of screen 202 corresponding to user B in the layout shown in Figure 2B is higher than the display priority of other screens besides screen 202 corresponding to user B. Furthermore, screen 202 corresponding to user B can have a larger display size in the live streaming interface 200B than other screens (e.g., screens 201, 203 to 209).

[0044] It should be noted that the display size, display position, and layout of the screens for these users can be set according to their needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2B, the administrator (host) of the live interactive event can also select the screen 201 corresponding to the host (the number of participants configured to be associated with the target display priority among the host, user B to user I at the current time is equal to 1, and user B is specifically configured to be associated with the target display priority). At this time, the electronic device can display a second configuration control and a first configuration control about the host. The second configuration control is used to support replacing user B with the host so that it can be configured to be associated with the target display priority. The first configuration control is used to configure both the host and user B to be associated with the target display priority at the same time.

[0046] Furthermore, in response to receiving a selection of the second configuration control, the electronic device can replace the broadcaster with user B, who is configured to be associated with the target display priority, at which point user B is configured not to be associated with the target display priority. Furthermore, in response to receiving a selection of the first configuration control, the electronic device can simultaneously configure both the broadcaster and user B to be associated with the target display priority.

[0047] Using Figures 2B and 2C as examples, the electronic device can adjust the live broadcast interface from the layout shown in Figure 2B to the layout shown in Figure 2C in response to the live broadcast, the broadcaster among users B to I, and user B being configured to be associated with a target display priority. The layout shown in Figure 2B can be referred to as the first layout, and the layout shown in Figure 2C can be referred to as the second layout. The broadcaster's screen 201 and the user B's screen 202 have a target display priority in the layout shown in Figure 2C. As an example, the display priority of the broadcaster's screen 201 and the user B's screen 202 in the layout shown in Figure 2C is higher than the display priority of other screens besides the broadcaster's screen 201 and the user B's screen 202. Furthermore, the broadcaster's screen 201 and the user B's screen 202 can have a larger display size in the live broadcast interface 200C than other screens (e.g., screens 203 to 209).

[0048] It should be noted that the display size, display position, and layout of the screens for these users can be set according to their needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] In some embodiments, when multiple participants are configured to be associated with a target display priority, the electronic device can display the screens of these multiple participants in the interface based on predetermined display rules. For example, if there are two participants configured to be associated with a target display priority, and one of these participants is a broadcaster, the electronic device can display the broadcaster's screen, which is configured to be associated with the target display priority, to the right of the screen not corresponding to the broadcaster. If neither of these two participants is a broadcaster, the electronic device can display the screen of the participant configured to be associated with the target display priority first, in the order in which they are configured, to the right of the screen of the participant configured to be associated with the target display priority later.

[0050] The process of determining the second layout is explained below:

[0051] In some embodiments, the second layout may be determined by a first number of participants in a group based on a live interactive event and / or a second number of participants configured to be associated with a target display priority.

[0052] As an example, an electronic device can determine a second layout from multiple preset layouts based on a first number and a second number. The maximum number of participants supported by these multiple preset layouts may differ or be the same. The number of preset layouts associated with a target display priority may be the same or different.

[0053] As an example, taking a dual-host scenario (i.e., two participants are configured to be associated with a target display priority) as an example, the preset layout can include a preset layout corresponding to 5 microphone positions and a preset layout corresponding to 9 microphone positions. In this case, if the number of participants is less than or equal to 5, the preset layout corresponding to 5 microphone positions can be used; if the number of participants is greater than 5 and less than or equal to 9, the preset layout corresponding to 9 microphone positions can be used.

[0054] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the layout change does not reduce the number of participants in the live interactive event and affect the user experience, the upper limit of the number of participants supported by the second layout can be greater than or equal to the first number.

[0055] Taking Figures 2B and 2C as examples, the electronic device can respond to a first configuration operation associated with the broadcaster, adjusting the live broadcast interface from the first layout shown in Figure 2B to the second layout shown in Figure 2C. The first layout supports a maximum of 9 participants, and the second layout also supports a maximum of 9 participants. Specifically, the second layout supports participants including the broadcaster and users B through I. In this case, the first configuration operation configures the number of screens with a target display priority in the live broadcast interface to be 2. By ensuring the consistency of the maximum number of participants, the embodiments of this disclosure can avoid changing the maximum number of participants when adjusting the layout, thereby preventing participants from being removed from the live broadcast interaction event due to layout adjustments.

[0056] In some embodiments, the plurality of preset layouts includes at least a first preset layout and a second preset layout with the same maximum number of participants, and the first preset layout and the second preset layout correspond to different numbers of participants associated with the target display priority. It should be noted that the first preset layout and the second preset layout only indicate the existence of different preset layouts, and do not limit the number of these plurality of preset layouts.

[0057] Taking Figure 2B as the first preset layout and Figure 2C as the second preset layout as an example, both the first preset layout and the second preset layout can include a maximum of 9 participants. However, the first preset layout corresponds to 1 participant associated with the target display priority, while the second preset layout corresponds to 2 participants associated with the target display priority.

[0058] Furthermore, the electronic device can select from multiple preset layouts a preset layout in which the maximum number of supported participants is greater than or equal to a first number, and the number of participants associated with the target display priority is a second number, and determine it as the second layout.

[0059] As shown in Figure 2C, screens 201 and 202, corresponding to the two participants set to be associated with the target display priority, can be placed in the first row and have a larger display size. Screens 203-209, corresponding to the other seven participants, can be placed in the second and third rows respectively and have a relatively smaller display size. To improve the consistency of the page layout style, the second layout may also include preset functional areas. Taking Figure 2C as an example, the interface 200C displayed in the second layout may include a preset functional area 220. Functional area 220 may, for example, be placed in the third row and have the same size as at least one screen area. This at least one screen area is a screen area included in the second layout. The display priority of this at least one screen area is different from the target priority. Taking Figure 2C as an example, the second layout may include screen areas such as screens 203-209, which have the same size as functional area 220.

[0060] In some embodiments, the broadcaster can click on the function area 220. The electronic device can then provide a content configuration component based on the selection of the function area 220, allowing the broadcaster to configure target content via this component. The target content can indicate information related to the live stream, such as the rules for live interactive events in the live stream room, user requirements for joining the live stream interaction, precautions for watching the live stream, etc., which will not be elaborated upon here. In some scenarios, the target content may include, for example, bulletin board content.

[0061] In some embodiments, the target content may include any suitable type of content determined by a user's configuration action. For example, the content configuration component may include a text input component, and the target content may be text content entered via that text input component.

[0062] As another example, the content configuration component may include an image input component, and the target content may include images uploaded, edited, created, or generated via the image input component.

[0063] In some embodiments, the content configuration component may include, for example, a canvas component. The broadcaster can configure the canvas component to set the target content. In some embodiments, the target content may include various content elements. In some embodiments, configuration operations may include, but are not limited to, adding content elements to the canvas component, setting the style of content elements in the canvas component, etc. Content elements may be text, images, stickers, canvas backgrounds, etc. Styles may include the size, color, layout, etc. of the content elements.

[0064] In some embodiments, in the second layout, the size of the screen area associated with a participant not configured to be associated with a target display priority is the same as the size of the functional area. Taking FIG2C as an example, the size of the functional area 220 is the same as the size of the screen area corresponding to any one of users C-User I.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device can set a maximum limit on the number of participants that can be configured to be associated with a target display priority for a live interactive event. Taking a maximum limit of two participants as an example, when both User B and the broadcaster are configured to be associated with the target display priority (the number of broadcasters, User B, and User I currently configured to be associated with the target display priority equals two, where two is a second quantity threshold), if the live stream clicks on User C's screen 203, the electronic device can display interface 200D as shown in Figure 2D. Interface 200D can display User B and the broadcaster. In response to the selection of the broadcaster, the electronic device can replace User C with the broadcaster, that is, configure User C to be associated with the target display priority, while configuring the broadcaster not to be associated with the target display priority. Specifically, the broadcaster can click the selection control 230 in interface 200D, and the electronic device can, in response to receiving the selection control 230, replace User C with the broadcaster.

[0066] It should be noted that the specific quantity thresholds mentioned above are merely examples and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0067] Using Figure 2B as an example, the broadcaster can select screen 202 corresponding to user B. The electronic device receives this selection and sets user B to be unassociated with the target display priority. This means user B is no longer configured to be associated with the target display priority but is now configured to be unassociated. The electronic device can then display the layout shown in Figure 2A, where user B's screen size is the same as other screens unassociated with the target display priority. Alternatively, after receiving the selection of user B's screen 202, the electronic device can present a cancellation control for the configuration of user B's association with the target display priority. The electronic device can then cancel the configuration of user B's association with the target display priority in response to the selection of the cancellation control.

[0068] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure can, in response to a first configuration operation that associates multiple participants, adjust the display priority of the screens corresponding to these multiple participants on the live streaming interface during live streaming interaction, which helps to improve the user's enthusiasm and interactive experience during live streaming interaction; in addition, the functional area of ​​this disclosure can be used to present the content that the user expects to reveal, improving the efficiency of content sharing and acquisition during live streaming.
