[0014] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0015] It should be noted that the headings of any section / subsection provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this document, and embodiments of any type may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any way with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0016] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0017] The embodiments of this disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition, and / or use. All of these aspects comply with applicable laws, regulations, and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of this disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, manipulation, forwarding, and use are conducted with the user's knowledge and confirmation. Accordingly, in implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, the type, scope of use, and usage scenarios of any data or information that may be involved should be communicated to the user and their authorization obtained in accordance with relevant laws and regulations through appropriate means. The specific methods of notification and / or authorization may vary depending on the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0018] In this specification and the embodiments, any processing of personal information will be carried out only under the premise of legality (such as obtaining the consent of the personal information subject, or being necessary for the performance of a contract), and will only be carried out within the scope stipulated or agreed upon. A user's refusal to process personal information other than that necessary for basic functions will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0019] As mentioned above, media works have become an important medium for online interaction. Traditional media works typically have only one creator. While some platforms support user-generated content (CEP), the types of such CEPs are relatively limited. For example, two users can publish a CEP video, with different users' image content being added to different parts of the video. However, once such a CEP is published, other users cannot continue to co-create, which greatly affects the richness of the content.

[0020] Embodiments of this disclosure propose a content interaction scheme. The scheme includes: acquiring a first image associated with a first user; and adding a first foreground element associated with the first image to first media content associated with a second user, the first foreground element comprising at least a portion of the first image, wherein a first background image of the first media content is determined based on a publishing operation by the second user.

[0021] In this way, embodiments of this disclosure enable users to co-create works by adding foreground elements, thereby enhancing the richness of media content. Consequently, embodiments of this disclosure support multi-user co-creation and can simultaneously display the contributions of multiple users within the same media content, thus enriching the displayed information of the media content and improving information retrieval efficiency.

[0022] The following section provides a detailed description of various example implementations of this scheme, with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example Environment

[0023] 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.

[0024] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports content interaction. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application for content interaction, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, social applications, shopping applications, content sharing applications, video playback applications, or other suitable applications. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0025] In environment 100 of Figure 1, if application 120 is active, electronic device 110 can use application 120 to present interface 150 for supporting content interaction.

[0026] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, handheld computers, portable gaming terminals, VR / AR devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0027] Server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0028] A communication connection can be established between server 130 and electronic device 110. This communication connection can be established via wired or wireless means. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, Bluetooth, mobile network, Universal Serial Bus (USB), and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connections; the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of this disclosure, server 130 and electronic device 110 can achieve signaling interaction through the communication connection between them.

[0029] 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.

[0030] The following description continues with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlining some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure. Example Interaction

[0031] Figures 2A to 2M illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200M according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 200A to 200M may be provided, for example, by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0032] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200A as shown in FIG2A to a first user. The interface 200A may be used to present a media content stream, which may include multiple media contents published by multiple users of the current application platform. The electronic device 110 may switch between multiple media contents in the media content stream based on received content switching operations, such as up or down swiping. The electronic device 110 may also receive any user's interactive operations on the media content, such as liking, commenting, editing, or sharing.

[0033] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 acquires a first image associated with a first user. As an example, such a first image may be an image or video content selected by the first user in their photo album, or it may be an image or video content captured by the first user using the electronic device 110. Example 1:

[0034] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may first present a viewing interface of the first media content to be co-created, and then enter the first image acquisition interface through a first entry point in the viewing interface of the first media content. Further, after acquiring the first image through the first image acquisition interface, the electronic device 110 may perform co-creation of the first media and content based on the first image. Co-creation may instruct the addition of a portion of the first image to the first media content.

[0035] Specifically, the electronic device 110 can present a viewing interface for first media content, the viewing interface including a first entry point. As an example, as shown in FIG2A, the first media content can be displayed in a media content stream, and the interface 200A can be, for example, a viewing interface for the first media content. The interface 200A can present the first media content. The first media content may include a first background image 201 and one or more foreground elements superimposed on the first background image 201, such as element 202 and element 203.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first media content may be a work published by a second user. Exemplarily, the background image 201 may be a solid color background or a background containing a pattern. Additionally, the background image 201 may be automatically determined based on the media content selected by the second user. The electronic device 110 may present the first entry point 204 on the interface 200A.

[0037] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can present a first image acquisition interface in response to the selection of the first entry point. Finally, the electronic device 110 can acquire the first image associated with the first user via the first acquisition interface. As an example, as shown in FIG2B, the first image acquisition interface can be, for example, interface 200B as shown in FIG2B. The electronic device 110 can present multiple preview components in interface 200B, such as preview component 205, which is associated with the first image. After preview component 205 is selected, the electronic device 110 can acquire the first image associated with preview component 205.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also generate stickers (i.e., foreground elements) from the first image. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can receive a first user's selection of the preview component 205 and present an interface 200C as shown in FIG2C. The interface 200C may, for example, be an image editing interface of the first image.

[0039] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can receive a first user's selection of an image portion 206 in the first image within the interface 200C, thereby presenting the image portion 206 of the first image in a targeted style. As an example, as shown in FIG2C, the electronic device 110 can present a first outline element around the image portion 206. The first outline element can be implemented as a dashed line, a solid line, or other suitable style. Further still, the electronic device 110 can determine a first foreground element (i.e., sticker 207) associated with the first image based on the image portion 206.

[0040] After obtaining sticker 207, electronic device 110 can collaboratively create primary media content based on the obtained sticker 207. Example 2:

[0041] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may first acquire a first image by taking a picture, and then select the media content to be co-created.

[0042] As an example, electronic device 110 may present interface 200D as shown in FIG2D. The media content presented in interface 200D may be first media content or other media content. Electronic device 110 may present a first indicator element 208 in interface 200D. The first indicator element 208 is used to indicate a gesture for presenting a second image acquisition interface. Such a gesture may be, for example, a user's swiping operation on interface 200D (e.g., swiping right).

[0043] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can receive a right swipe operation from the first user on the interface 200D, presenting the interface 200E as shown in Figure 2E. The interface 200E can be a media content capture interface (i.e., a second image acquisition interface). In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can quickly present the second image acquisition interface through the user's swipe operation, thereby improving the efficiency of media content creation.

[0044] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can acquire a first image associated with a first user via a second image acquisition interface. For example, when the first user selects the shooting control 209, the electronic device 110 can perform a shooting operation to acquire the captured first image. After acquiring the first image, the electronic device 110 can present the first image in the interface 200F of FIG. 2F and determine the sticker 207 based on the first user's selection of the image portion 206.

[0045] In some embodiments, after the electronic device 110 acquires the first image by taking a picture, the first user can also select media content to be co-created through the electronic device 110. The media content to be co-created can be media content published today by a second user or other users. In some scenarios, the media content to be co-created can be referred to as a canvas.

[0046] Specifically, the electronic device 110 can, in response to acquiring a set of candidate media content associated with a group of users, present a set of candidate media content in a selection control. The set of candidate media content may include at least one piece of media content published by the group of users within a preset time period, wherein the association between the group of users and the first user satisfies a preset condition. The group of users includes the first user, or, the second user is the first user.

[0047] As an example, after the first image is acquired, the electronic device 110 can display an interface 200E as shown in Figure 2E, which includes a control 210. After the first user selects the control 210, the electronic device 110 can display a selection control 211 as shown in Figure 2F. When the first user or their friends post a board today, the electronic device 110 can display multiple posted boards in the selection control 211.

[0048] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can determine the first media content based on the selection of the first media content in the selection control. As an example, as shown in FIG2F, the electronic device 110 can receive the first user's selection of the canvas 212 in the selection control 210 to determine to collaborate on the canvas 212. After the canvas 212 is selected, the electronic device 110 can display a preview image corresponding to the canvas 212 in the component 210.

[0049] In some embodiments, when neither the first user's friends nor the first user have posted a new board today, the first user can post a new board via electronic device 110. Specifically, electronic device 110 can create new media content based on the first image in response to the lack of candidate media content. The new media content includes at least one foreground element overlaid on a second background image, the at least one foreground element being determined based on the first image.

[0050] As an example, when neither the first user's friends nor the first user has posted a board today, the electronic device 110 can present component 210 in the style shown in Figure 2F. After the first user selects component 210, the electronic device 110 can generate sticker 207 based on the image portion 206 selected by the first user in the first image. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can also acquire a second background image selected by the first user. After the sticker 213 and the second background image are determined, the electronic device 110 can generate a new board based on the target sticker and the second background image.

[0051] Once the first image is acquired and the canvas is determined or generated, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 200I as shown in FIG2I. The interface 200I includes a second indicator element 214, which indicates that a sticker 213 is added to the canvas 212 displayed in the component 210.

[0052] The process by which electronic device 110 adds a first image to first media content will be described below.

[0053] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may add a first foreground element associated with a first image to first media content associated with a second user. The first foreground element includes at least a portion of the first image. The first background image of the first media content is determined based on the second user's publishing action.

[0054] As an example, as shown in Figure 2J, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 200J, which can be an editing interface for the first media content. The interface 200J includes a sticker 207 (i.e., a first foreground element) associated with the first image. The electronic device 110 can add the sticker 207 to the first media content to complete the co-creation of the first media content.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may add different portions of a first image to first media content. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may add multiple foreground elements associated with the first image to the first media content associated with a second user. The multiple foreground elements include a first foreground element, and the multiple foreground elements correspond to different portions of the first image.

[0056] As an example, as shown in Figure 2C, the electronic device 110 can receive operations (e.g., selection, box selection, drawing lines, etc.) from a first user on a first image in the interface 200C, and capture multiple image regions from the first image. Such image regions could be, for example, image regions corresponding to "people" or image regions corresponding to "butterflies." After obtaining multiple image regions, the electronic device 110 can convert these multiple image regions into multiple stickers to add to the first media content.

[0057] In some embodiments, the image portion added to the first media content includes: a first image portion and a second image portion. The first image portion includes a first image portion determined from the reference first media content based on a first editing operation by a user. The first editing operation indicates a first region to be segmented. The second image portion is determined by segmenting a second region of the reference first media content corresponding to a preset object.

[0058] As an example, as shown in Figure 2K, the electronic device 110 can determine a first region 214 in the reference first media content corresponding to the sticker 207 based on a user's first editing operation on the reference first media content (e.g., drawing lines, selecting boxes, etc.). Further, the electronic device 110 can provide adjustment controls 215 in the interface 200K. The electronic device 110 can receive a second editing operation from the user via the adjustment controls 215 to adjust the first region 214. For example, before receiving the second editing operation, the area corresponding to the sticker 216 only includes the first region 214. After receiving the adjustment operation, the sticker 216 also includes a second image portion 217 (e.g., the image area corresponding to the foreground element 202).

[0059] In some embodiments, after determining that the sticker 216 to be added to the first media content, the electronic device 110 may also adjust the display attributes of the sticker in the first media content based on the adjustment operation of the first user. The display attributes include: the display position of the first foreground element, the display size of the first foreground element, the display direction of the first foreground element, and the display level of the first foreground element.

[0060] As an example, adjustments could include changing the display position, size, or hierarchy of the first foreground element within the first media content. This can improve the content quality and optimize the presentation of the first media content.

[0061] In some embodiments, the display attributes may be determined by the electronic device 110 or the server 130 based on reference information. The reference information includes a first set of attributes, a second set of attributes, and template information associated with the first media content. The first set of attributes is associated with a first background image in the first media content. The second set of attributes is associated with at least one sticker (i.e., a foreground element) in the first media content.

[0062] In some embodiments, when adding sticker 216 to the first media content, the electronic device 110 also needs to determine whether sticker 216 meets preset display constraints, which at least indicate the occlusion relationship between display elements in the first media content. For example, a display constraint could be that the display layer of sticker 216 needs to be higher than the display layer of the first background image 201. Another display constraint could be that sticker 216 cannot obscure sticker 203.

[0063] In some embodiments, after the sticker 216 is added to the first media content, the electronic device 110 can display the user identifier of the second user in a first style on the viewing interface of the first media content. Further, the electronic device 110 can display the user identifier of at least one user in a second style on the viewing interface of the first media content. At least one user is associated with a foreground element added to the first media content. At least one user includes the first user, and the first style differs from the second style.

[0064] As an example, as shown in Figure 2L, the electronic device 110 can display the user ID 217 of the second user and the user ID 218 of the first user in the interface 200L. The user ID 217 can be displayed in a first style, and the user ID 218 can be displayed in a second style. For example, the second style can have a different display size, display position, etc. than the first style.

[0065] In some scenarios, as shown in Figure 2M, Figure 2M includes a second user's user identifier 217 and a viewing component 218. The electronic device 110 can display user identifiers of multiple users who co-created the first media content in the viewing component 218, such as user identifier 219 associated with the first user.

[0066] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, in response to the selection of a target user identifier associated with a target user, selectively display target foreground elements associated with the target user in the viewing interface. As an example, the target user may be, for instance, a first user, and the sticker associated with the first user may be 216. As shown in FIG2L, after the user identifier 218 is selected, the electronic device 110 may highlight the first foreground element 216 associated with the first user. The highlighting may be, for example, a magnified display, a highlighting effect, or any suitable style such as presenting outline elements around the sticker 216.

[0067] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present contour elements for indicating the boundaries of target foreground elements. Such contour elements may be implemented as any suitable contour element, such as a solid line, a dashed line, or a bold solid line. In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can more conveniently allow users to identify the creator of the foreground element, thereby improving the efficiency of information retrieval.

[0068] In some embodiments, the viewing interface is a first viewing interface, which presents interface elements associated with the second media content. The electronic device 110 can respond to a preset operation received on the first viewing interface to present a second viewing interface of the second media content.

[0069] As an example, as shown in Figure 2A, interface 200A can be a viewing interface for first media content. The first media content is displayed in a media content stream. After receiving a preset operation from the user on interface 200A, electronic device 110 can present a second viewing interface for second media content. Such a preset operation could be, for example, a swiping operation by the user on interface 200A (e.g., swiping up or down).

[0070] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may display a set of foreground elements in a third style in the viewing interface of the first media content. The first set of foreground elements corresponds to a first group of users, and the association between the first group of users and the first user satisfies preset conditions.

[0071] As an example, when the relationship between the first group of users corresponding to the first group of foreground elements and the first user meets preset conditions (e.g., friend relationship or mutual following), the electronic device 110 can display the first group of foreground elements in a color style to indicate that the first group of users and the first user have a friend relationship or have followed each other.

[0072] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may display a second group of foreground elements in a fourth style within the viewing interface of the first media content. The second group of foreground elements corresponds to a second group of users, and the association between the second group of users and the first user does not meet preset conditions. The third style differs from the fourth style.

[0073] As an example, when the relationship between the second group of users corresponding to the first group of foreground elements and the first user does not meet preset conditions (e.g., not friends or not following each other), the electronic device 110 can present the second group of foreground elements in grayscale to indicate that the second group of users and the first user are "strangers" (i.e., not friends or not following each other). In this way, embodiments of this disclosure enable users to more easily distinguish whether multiple foreground elements in the first media content were created by friends, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of information acquisition.

[0074] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can publish first media content based on a publishing operation by a second user. The publishing operation by the second user can, for example, indicate whether foreground elements are allowed in the first media content, or specify the range of users allowed to add foreground elements to the first media content. As an example, the electronic device 110 can obtain editing permissions for the first media content through the publishing operation by the second user. Such editing permissions can, for example, indicate whether stickers are allowed to be added, adjusted, or deleted in the first media content. Alternatively, editing permissions can also indicate the range of users allowed to edit the first media content. Exemplarily, the range of users allowed to co-create can include, for example, the second user's friends or users who follow the second user. Alternatively, the range of users can also include all users who can participate in the co-creation of the media content.

[0075] In this way, embodiments of this disclosure enable users to collaboratively create works by adding foreground elements, thereby enriching the media content. Thus, embodiments of this disclosure support multi-user collaborative creation and can simultaneously display the contributions of multiple users within the same media content, thereby enriching the displayed information of the media content and improving information retrieval efficiency. Example Process

[0076] Figure 3 illustrates a flowchart of an example process 300 for content interaction 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 Figure 1.

[0077] As shown in Figure 3, in box 310, electronic device 110 acquires a first image associated with a first user.

[0078] In box 320, electronic device 110 adds a first foreground element associated with a first image to the first media content associated with a second user. The first foreground element includes at least a portion of the first image, and the first background image of the first media content is determined based on the second user's publishing operation.

[0079] In some embodiments, process 300 further includes: presenting an image portion of a first image in a target style; and determining a first foreground element associated with the first image based on the image portion.

[0080] In some embodiments, the image portion includes: a first image portion determined from reference to first media content based on a user's first editing operation, the first editing operation indicating a first region to be segmented; or a second image portion determined by segmenting a second region in the reference to first media content corresponding to a preset object.

[0081] In some embodiments, acquiring a first image associated with a first user includes: presenting a viewing interface of first media content, the viewing interface including a first entry point; presenting a first image acquisition interface in response to selection of the first entry point; and acquiring the first image associated with the first user via the first acquisition interface.

[0082] In some embodiments, acquiring the first image associated with the first user includes: acquiring the first image associated with the first user via a second image acquisition interface.
