[0016] 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.

[0017] 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.

[0018] 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.

[0019] 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.

The scheme includes: presenting content items associated with a first live streaming resource in a viewing interface of an information stream, the content items presenting first descriptive information associated with the first live streaming resource; and, in response to a first operation on the content items, presenting a live streaming interface corresponding to configuration information, wherein the configuration information indicates that the first live streaming resource is enabled.

[0023] In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can enhance the attractiveness of live streaming resources by presenting content items associated with them, and can present a preview of the live streaming resources in an intuitive way, thereby attracting users to use the live streaming resources for live streaming, reducing the amount of operation required for users to select live streaming resources, and improving the configuration efficiency of live streaming resources.

[0024] The following section provides a detailed description of various example implementations of this scheme, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example Environment

[0026] 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.

[0027] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports live interaction. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application for live interaction, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, live streaming applications, video applications, or other suitable applications. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0028] In environment 100 of Figure 1, if application 120 is active, electronic device 110 can use application 120 to present interface 150 for supporting live interaction.

[0029] 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).

[0030] 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. Server 130 may include, for example, computing systems / servers such as mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc. Server 130 can provide backend services for applications 120 in electronic devices 110 that support virtual scene interaction.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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.

[0033] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0034] Example Interaction

[0035] Figures 2A to 2E illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200E according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 200A to 200E may be provided, for example, by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1. Example interfaces 200A to 200E will be described below with reference to Figure 1.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2A, Figure 2A shows the viewing interface of the information flow.

[0037] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can display content items associated with the first live streaming resource in the information stream viewing interface. In some scenarios, the content item may also be referred to as a non-standard card. For example, the electronic device 110 can display content item 207 in the viewing interface, and the aforementioned content item 207 is associated with the corresponding live streaming resource.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first live streaming resource is determined based on the current user's reference information. For example, the first live streaming resource may be determined based on the user's live streaming viewing history. In some examples, if a user watches the live streaming content of live streaming room A, and the live streaming content of live streaming room A uses live streaming resource A, then the electronic device 110 may present the live streaming resource A on the information stream viewing interface based on the historical viewing record.

[0039] It should be understood that the acquisition and use of reference information are carried out with the knowledge and permission of the relevant users.

[0040] Taking the example shown in Figure 2A as an example, the first live streaming resource includes special effects resources. Specifically, Figure 2A shows the content item 207 of the special effects resource "round face effect" used for live streaming. Special effects resources can include live streaming effects applied to the live streaming room. For example, the video effects corresponding to the special effects resource can replace the anchor's face, thereby achieving a live streaming effect without showing the face.

[0041] In some embodiments, content item 207 may present first descriptive information associated with the first live stream resource. For example, content item 207 may present descriptive information associated with "round face effect".

[0042] In some embodiments, the first description information includes media content associated with the first live streaming resource. The media content may include media content that utilizes the live streaming resource, such as a work that utilizes the live streaming resource or a live screen recording clip that utilizes the live streaming resource. Alternatively, the media content may also include a preview image of the media resource.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first descriptive information described above may include a preview image 205-1 of the "round face effect". This preview image may present a preview video or image of a live stream in which the effect resource has been applied.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first description information may further include an image corresponding to the first live streaming resource and / or a text description of the first live streaming resource and / or interactive information of the first live streaming resource. For example, in region 212 of FIG2A, the electronic device 110 also presents an image corresponding to the special effects resource, a text description "round face" corresponding to the special effects resource, and interactive information "13,000 anchors used" corresponding to the special effects resource.

[0045] In some embodiments, a content item may further include a collection control for collecting the first live stream resource. For example, content item 207 may include control 220, which can be used to collect the special effects resource. For example, electronic device 110 may collect the special effects resource to the user's collection list in response to control 220 being triggered.

[0046] In some embodiments, the content item is associated with a second live streaming resource, and the electronic device 110 can also switch the content item to display second description information corresponding to the second live streaming resource in response to a second operation on the content item. For example, as shown in interface 200A of FIG2A and interface 200B of FIG2B, the electronic device 110 can switch the content item 207 to display preview image 205-2 in response to a second operation on the content item 207, and at the same time, the first description information is also switched to the second description information corresponding to the content item. The second description information may include, for example, the preview image 205-2.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second operation described above includes a swipe operation in the first direction. For example, the electronic device 110 may switch the first description information presented by the content item 207 to the second description information in response to a swipe operation to the left (i.e., switch the description information of one special effects resource to the description information of another special effects resource).

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may update a progress control in the content item in response to a second operation on the content item to indicate that the content item is currently associated with a second live stream resource. For example, as shown in FIG2B, the electronic device may update the progress control 222 in response to receiving a leftward swipe operation, the progress control 222 indicating that the content item is currently associated with a second live stream resource (i.e., the "long face effect").

[0049] In some embodiments, the content item may be associated with multiple live streaming resources. For example, the content item may be associated with five live streaming resources, which may be of the same type (e.g., all are special effects resources) or may be of different types (e.g., two are special effects resources and the other three are music resources).

[0050] In some embodiments, if the content item is associated with multiple live streaming resources of the same type, the electronic device 110 may, in response to receiving a trigger operation on the control 210, apply only the live streaming resources currently presented in the viewing interface to the live streaming room.

[0051] In some embodiments, if the content item is associated with multiple live streaming resources of different types, the electronic device 110 may, in response to receiving a trigger operation on the control 210, apply all the live streaming resources corresponding to the content item to the live streaming room.

[0052] In some embodiments, if a content item is associated with multiple live streaming resources, the electronic device 110 may present these resources in a preset order. For example, the electronic device 110 may prioritize presenting special effects resources, or it may prioritize presenting special effects resources that the user has used. In other examples, the electronic device 110 may prioritize presenting special effects resources that have been used more frequently. In some embodiments, the above information also includes additional media content, which may be, for example, video content or audio content. The electronic device 110 may also switch the viewing interface to display additional media content in the information stream in response to receiving a swipe operation in a second direction. For example, the electronic device 110 may switch the viewing interface to display video content in the information stream in response to receiving an upward swipe operation.

[0053] In some examples, electronic device 110 can present a set of special effects resources of different categories in the viewing interface of the information stream. For example, electronic device 110 can first present a first set of special effects resources in the viewing interface, which is a set of facial effects resources, and then electronic device 110 can respond to receiving an upward swipe operation to present other additional media content or another set of special effects resources.

[0054] For example, electronic device 110 may respond to receiving three consecutive upward swipes to display another set of special effects resources, which may be fireworks effects in a live broadcast room (different from facial effects). In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may also respond to receiving a trigger operation on control 215 to switch to displaying other special effects resources or additional media content.

[0055] In some embodiments, the aforementioned content item is a first content item. The electronic device 110 can also, in response to a third operation on the first content item, switch the viewing interface to display a second content item, which displays third descriptive information corresponding to the third live streaming resource. For example, the electronic device 110 can, in response to a user's left or right swipe operation, switch between different content items (i.e., content items including multiple live streaming resources can be swiped as a whole), and simultaneously switch the descriptive information displayed on the viewing interface.

[0056] As an example, the electronic device 110 can receive a left swipe operation on the irregular card displayed in the information stream viewing interface, and can accordingly switch the information stream viewing interface to display another irregular card associated with other live streaming resources.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first live streaming resource includes a music resource. The music resource may include background music or other music that can be applied to the live stream. For example, as shown in interface 200C in FIG2C, FIG2C illustrates a music resource “Music 1” for live streaming. The electronic device 110 also presents descriptive information (i.e., first descriptive information) associated with “Music 1” in the viewing interface.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first live streaming resource includes gift resources. These gift resources may include virtual gifts that viewers can send to the streamer during the live stream.

[0059] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may present a broadcasting interface corresponding to the configuration information in response to a first operation on a content item. For example, electronic device 110 may present a broadcasting interface 220 corresponding to the configuration information in response to receiving a trigger operation on control 210.

[0060] In some embodiments, the configuration information described above indicates that a first live streaming resource is enabled. For example, if the first live streaming resource is a special effects resource, the configuration information may indicate that the special effects resource is applied to the live streaming room.

[0061] Figure 2D shows the interface 200D with the first live streaming resource enabled.

[0062] If the first live stream resource mentioned above is a special effects resource, then the live stream interface can display a preview of the special effects resource (as shown in the live stream interface 220 of Figure 2D).

[0063] In some embodiments, the live streaming interface 220 may also include configuration options associated with the live streaming room, through which the user can configure the live streaming room. For example, the live streaming interface 220 may display a control 225, which can control the background music played in the live streaming room. The electronic device 110 may automatically display the control 225 in the live streaming interface 220 in response to the first live streaming resource being a music resource.

[0064] In some embodiments, the live broadcast interface 220 may also display a control 230. The electronic device 110 may, in response to receiving a trigger operation on the control 230, open the live broadcast room and start the live broadcast.

[0065] In some embodiments, if the first live streaming resource is a music resource, the above configuration information can instruct the music resource to be added to the music list of the live streaming room. Specifically, the music resource can be added to the live streaming room started by the user (e.g., the live streaming room started after triggering control 210).

[0066] For example, in the interface 200E shown in Figure 2E, if the first live stream resource is "Music 1", then "Music 1" can be automatically added to area 240 of the music list. In some examples, this area 240 can be located at the beginning or top of the music list. The electronic device 110 can receive the user's selection of background music for the live stream via the aforementioned music list.

[0067] Similar to the music list mentioned above, if the first live stream resource is a gift resource, the configuration information can instruct the gift resource to be added to the live stream's gift list. For example, if a content item in the viewing interface is associated with virtual gift 1, the electronic device 110 can add virtual gift 1 to the live stream's gift list according to the configuration information. The electronic device 110 can receive instructions from viewers to send gifts to the streamer through this gift list. Alternatively, the electronic device 110 can receive instructions from the streamer to send gifts to viewers through the gift list. Specifically, the gift resource can be added to the live stream room started by the user (e.g., the live stream room started after triggering control 210).

[0068] In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can present live streaming resources for live streaming in a dynamic manner and provide a quick and efficient means of applying and collecting live streaming resources.

[0069] Therefore, the embodiments of this disclosure can improve the efficiency of users selecting live streaming resources, improve the efficiency of configuring live streaming resources, and reduce the amount of user operations.
