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

[0023] Example Environment

[0024] 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.

[0025] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports user interface interaction. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application for user interface interaction, and examples may include, but are not limited to, video applications, social applications, or other suitable applications. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0026] In environment 100 of Figure 1, if application 120 is active, electronic device 110 can use application 120 to present interface 150 for supporting interface interaction.

[0027] 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).

[0028] 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.

[0029] 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.

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

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2A, the editing interface 200A includes a content area 210, in which the electronic device 110 can display the first media content 230. As an example, the content area 210 can display a real-time image captured by the user through an image acquisition device, i.e., the first media content 230. The content area 210 can also display candidate images uploaded by the user, i.e., the first media content 230. Such a set of candidate images may include, for example, a local image library of the electronic device 110 or an associated online image library. It should be understood that the acquisition and use of such candidate images are performed with the user's knowledge and authorization. As an example, the static media content 210 may include images.

[0035] Additionally, the electronic device 110 can also determine whether the image currently provided by the user (e.g., a captured image or an uploaded image) meets preset requirements. Such preset requirements may be related to, for example, the content, quality, and / or size of the image. For instance, preset requirements may include the requirement that the image contain a specific type of object.

[0036] In some embodiments, the editing interface 200A may further include a control area 220, which may provide one or more interactive controls associated with the media content presented in the content area 210. As an example, the controls in the control area 220 may be used to edit the first media content 230, such as adding text, emoticons, or background music to the first media content 230, or adjusting the size, filters, etc. of the first media content 230, without limitation.

[0037] In some embodiments, a generation entry 221 is provided in the control area 220, and the electronic device 110 can receive a first operation from the user on the generation entry 221. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the generation entry 221. Accordingly, in response to receiving the first operation, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 200B as shown in FIG2B.

[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2B, the generation editing interface 200B includes a generation control area 240. The electronic device 110 can receive a second operation of the generation control area 240 to obtain a generation request, which indicates at least one generation parameter.

[0039] In some embodiments, the generation control area 240 includes a selection control 241. As an example, the selection control 241 presents one or more default action options, and the electronic device 110 can obtain prompts for generating second media content through the user's selection of the selection control 241.

[0040] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can analyze the screen content of the first media content 230, such as acquiring image information in the first media content 230, including the main content and environmental content contained in the screen, and generate action options for the selection control 241 based on this. For example, the options of the selection control 241 indicate the movement associated with the main content in the first media content 230. The main content may include one or more objects, such as a person, two cats, multiple identical or different animals or objects, such as fallen leaves on a tree, flowers in a garden, etc. Correspondingly, the movement associated with the preset object can be different actions such as a person laughing, crying, or dancing; actions such as a cat running or jumping; or fallen leaves swirling and falling; or flowers opening or withering, etc., without limitation. Thus, the dynamic effect of the second media content can be associated with the screen content of the first media content 230 itself.

[0041] In some embodiments, the generation control area 240 further includes an input control 242. As an example, through user input to the input control 242, the electronic device 110 can obtain prompts for generating second media content based on the input. For instance, if the main content includes a cat, the default generated action options might be limited to rolling, jumping, etc. Through the input control 242, the user can input content such as "a cat is dancing," causing the second media content to exhibit the described dynamic effect. The user can customize the prompts for generating the second media content through the input content, that is, customize the action of the main content in the screen of the first media content 230, thereby enriching the dynamic effect of the generated second media content.

[0042] In some embodiments, the generation control area 240 further includes a launch control 243. The electronic device 110 may receive a third operation from the user on the launch control 243. For example, the electronic device 110 may receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the launch control 243. Accordingly, in response to receiving the third operation, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200C as shown in FIG2C.

[0043] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a third operation, namely in response to obtaining a generation request, the electronic device 110 updates the style of the generation entry 211 to indicate the processing status of the generation request. As shown in FIG200C, the editing interface 200C includes a content area 210 and a control area 220. The control area 220 provides the generation entry 221 and other controls. During the generation process, the user can still edit the media content being generated through other controls.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2C, before the generation request processing is completed, the generation entry 221 presents the generation progress information in the form of a progress ring. On the one hand, the progress ring indicates the progress information in percentage text (e.g., 3%), and on the other hand, the progress ring includes multiple progress points, where darker progress points indicate completed progress and lighter progress points indicate incomplete progress, representing the progress information in a visually intuitive form. As an example, the progress information may include indicators of the completed progress of the generation process (e.g., 50%), the remaining progress of the generation process (e.g., remaining time), etc. It should be understood that the progress information can be presented using any suitable form, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, progress bars, percentage numbers, or other images, animations, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2C, before the generation request is completed, a prompt box 222 is associated with the generation entry 221 to display status information. The prompt box 222 is displayed above the content area 210 in a transparent or semi-transparent form, which can prominently display the status information. The status information indicates the remaining processing time of the generation request, such as 1 minute remaining. The status information can also prompt generation-related information, such as "While the photo is being generated in 'Draft,' you can use other functions," to inform the user of the generation progress and that the generation process can be carried out in the background without affecting the user's normal use, helping the user quickly familiarize themselves with and master the content generation method and improve the user experience.

[0046] In some embodiments, the prompt box 222 further includes a confirmation control 223. The electronic device 110 can receive a fourth operation from the user on the confirmation control 223. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the confirmation control 223. Accordingly, in response to receiving the fourth operation, causing the prompt box 222 to no longer be displayed, the electronic device 110 can present the interface 200D as shown in FIG2D.

[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2D, before the generation request processing is completed, the generation entry 221 presents generation progress information in the form of a progress ring, and the prompt box 224 is associated with the generation entry 221, presenting status information. The status information only indicates the remaining processing time of the generation request, such as 1 minute remaining. The content presented in the prompt box 224 is reduced, so that the area occupied by the prompt box 224 in the interface 200D is smaller and avoids obscuring the content area 210, making it easier for the user to view or perform other editing operations on the first media content 230 of the content area 210 during the generation process.

[0048] In some embodiments, before the generation request processing is completed, the interface 200D also includes a close control 225, which is associated with the generation entry 221. The electronic device 110 can receive a fifth operation from the user on the generation entry 221. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the generation entry 221. Accordingly, in response to receiving the fifth operation, the electronic device 110 can present the interface 200E as shown in FIG2E.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2E, before the generation request processing is completed, in response to the selection of the generation entry 221 associated with the close control 225, a viewing panel 250 is presented in interface 200E. The viewing panel 250 includes a first entry 215 and / or a second entry 252. For example, electronic device 110 may receive a user's click on the first entry 251 or other appropriate operation. In response to the user's operation on the first entry 251, electronic device 110 may present a draft viewing interface 200F as shown in FIG2F; electronic device 110 may receive a user's click on the second entry 252 or other appropriate operation. In response to the user's operation on the second entry 252, electronic device 110 may stop processing the generation request and return to present interface 200A as shown in FIG2A.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2F, the electronic device 110 may present one or more media contents in a draft viewing interface 200F, including one or more second media contents 260, i.e., dynamic media contents generated by the above-described content generation method based on the first media contents 230 and at least one generation parameter.

[0051] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also present a set of historical generation requests in the draft viewing interface 2F, the set of historical generation requests indicating the generation of dynamic media content based on static media content, and the set of historical generation requests including generation requests associated with the first media content. As an example, the second media content 260 carries a generation flag 261 (e.g., an AI flag), the generation flag 261 indicating that the second media content 260 is dynamic media content generated based on the first media content 230 and at least one generation parameter. The second media content 260 also carries a progress flag 262, the progress flag 262 indicating the generation progress of the second media content 260, for example, the second media content 260-1 is still being generated, and the second media content 260-2 has been generated.

[0052] In some embodiments, in response to the completion of the generation of the second media content 260, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 200G as shown in FIG2G. As shown in FIG2G, the editing interface 200G includes a content area 210. The electronic device 110 can present the second media content 260 in the content area 210, and the second media content 260 can be automatically played in the content area 210. As an example, the second media content can be an animated image or a video.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2G, the editing interface 200G may further include a control area 220, which may provide one or more interactive controls associated with the media content presented in the content area 210. As an example, the controls in the control area 220 may be used to edit the second media content 260, such as adding text, emoticons, or background music to the second media content 260, or adjusting the size, filters, etc. of the second media content 260, without limitation.

[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2G, in response to the completion of the generation of the second media content 260, the style of the generation entry 211 is updated to indicate the processing status of the generation request. After the second media content 260 has been generated, the interface 200G also includes a completion flag 226, which is associated with the generation entry 221, to indicate that the processing status of the generation request for the second media content 260 is complete. The electronic device 110 can receive a sixth operation from the user on the generation entry 221. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the generation entry 221. Accordingly, in response to receiving the sixth operation, the electronic device 110 can present the interface 200H as shown in FIG2H.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2H, after the second media content 260 has been generated, in response to the selection of the generation entry 221 associated with the completion flag 226, a dynamic panel 270 is presented in the interface 200H. The dynamic panel 270 includes a dynamic switch 271 (applying AI dynamics) and / or an editing control 272. The electronic device 110 can receive a user's operation to turn on the dynamic switch 271. In response to the operation to turn on the dynamic switch 271, the electronic device 110 can present the generated second media content 260 in the content area 210. The electronic device 110 can receive a user's operation to turn off the dynamic switch 271. In response to the operation to turn off the dynamic switch 271, the electronic device 110 can present the first media content 230 in the content area 210. The electronic device 110 can receive a user's click on the editing control 272 or other appropriate operation. In response to the operation on the editing control 272, the electronic device 110 can present the interface 200B as shown in FIG2B, so that the user can edit the media content again.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2G, the interface 200G further includes a publishing control 280 for publishing works corresponding to dynamic media content. The electronic device 110 can receive a seventh operation from the user on the publishing control 280. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a publishing request by receiving a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the publishing control 280. Accordingly, in response to receiving the seventh operation, the electronic device 110 can publish the work corresponding to the dynamic media content. If the dynamic switch 271 is in the on state, the work corresponding to the dynamic media content is the work corresponding to the second media content 260; if the dynamic switch 271 is in the off state, the work corresponding to the dynamic media content is the work corresponding to the first media content 230.

[0057] Based on the process described above, in this manner, embodiments of the present disclosure can generate dynamic media content based on the first media content based on the received operation. Thus, embodiments of the present disclosure can enrich the information and effects of the original first media content while retaining the original presentation information and effects, and the dynamic effects can effectively enhance the user's interactive experience and enjoyment.

[0058] In some embodiments, the generation request in the above content generation method can be processed asynchronously by the electronic device 110, and the processing of the generation request is independent of whether the editing interface is active.

[0059] In some embodiments, the above content generation method further includes, before the generation request is completed, in response to the user exiting the editing interface, the generation request will not stop but will continue to be generated in the "draft". At this time, the electronic device can display the viewing interface 200I as shown in Figure 2I.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2I, the viewing interface 200I includes a content area 210. The electronic device 110 can display the media content 2 in the content area 210; in other words, the user can view other media content or perform other operations on the electronic device 110 while generating a request.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2I, the viewing interface 200I also includes a notification bar 291. Before the generation request is completed, the notification bar 291 presents the processing status of the generation request in text form, such as "AI dynamics are being generated in 'draft'" indicating that the generation request has not yet been completed.

[0062] In some embodiments, the above content generation method further includes presenting a reminder message in response to the completion of the generation request processing; and presenting the generated second media content in the editing interface in response to a preset operation on the reminder message.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2J, the viewing interface 200J also includes a notification bar 291. In response to the completion of the generation request processing, the notification bar 291 presents the processing status of the generation request in text form, such as "AI Dynamics has completed generating your image" indicating that the generation request has been completed.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2J, the notification bar 291 further includes a viewing control 292 for viewing the generated second media content 260. The electronic device 110 can receive an eighth operation from the user on the viewing control 292. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the viewing control 292, i.e., receive a publishing request. Accordingly, in response to receiving the eighth operation, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 200G as shown in FIG2G, with the second media content 260 displayed in its content area 210.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2K, the inbox interface 200K is used to receive information. In response to the completion of the generation request processing, a notification message 293 is presented in the inbox interface 200K, notifying the user that the second media content 260 has been generated. The electronic device 110 can receive a ninth operation from the user on the notification message 293. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the notification message 293, i.e., receiving a publishing request. Accordingly, in response to receiving the ninth operation, the electronic device 110 can present the interface 200G as shown in FIG2G, with the second media content 260 displayed in its content area 210.

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2L, a notification interface 200L is used to receive notifications. In response to the completion of the generation request processing, a reminder message 293 is presented in the notification interface 200L, notifying the user that the second media content 260 has been generated. The electronic device 110 can receive a ninth operation from the user on the reminder message 293. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the reminder message 293, i.e., receive a publishing request. Accordingly, in response to receiving the ninth operation, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 200G as shown in FIG2G, in which the second media content 260 is displayed in its content area 210.

[0067] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2M, the external interface 200M is an interface other than application 120. In response to the completion of the generation request processing, a notification message 293 is presented in the external interface 200M, notifying the user that the second media content 260 has been generated. The electronic device 110 can receive a ninth operation from the user on the notification message 293. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the notification message 293, i.e., receive a publishing request. Accordingly, in response to receiving the ninth operation, the electronic device 110 can present interface 200G as shown in FIG2G, with the second media content 260 displayed in its content area 210.

[0068] In some embodiments, the notification bar 291 and reminder message 293 can promptly notify the user after the request processing is completed, improving the user experience. As an example, the notification bar 291 and reminder message 293 can be used in combination with one or more forms such as text, images, and dynamic information; no limitation is imposed here.

[0069] In some embodiments, the content generation method further includes: presenting a content item 295 associated with the first media content 230 on the user's personal page; and presenting a processing status of the generation request associated with the content item 295.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2N, the personal page 200N displays a user's avatar 294 and multiple media contents, including content items 295 associated with the first media content 230. For example, if the generation request associated with the first media content 230 is not completed, the processing status of the generation request for the first media content 230 is indicated in text form (e.g., generating).

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2O, after the work corresponding to the dynamic media content and the second media content 260 are published, the electronic device 110 can present the creation entry 296 on the viewing interface 200O of the work. The electronic device 110 can receive a tenth operation from the user on the creation entry 296. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click or other appropriate operation from the user on the creation entry 296, i.e., receive a publishing request. Accordingly, in response to receiving the tenth operation, the electronic device 110 can present the interface 200G as shown in FIG2G, and the second media content 260 is presented in its content area 210.

[0072] Based on the process described above, in this way, on the one hand, the creation portal 296 can serve as an identifier for the second media content 260 generated by the above content generation method, so that users can distinguish and identify it; on the other hand, users can directly edit the second media content 260 again through the creation portal 296, thereby improving the attractiveness and convenience of interaction.
