• In order to enable those of ordinary skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in arrangements of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings.
• It should be noted that the terms “first” and “second” in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the arrangements of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementations set forth in the following example arrangements do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
• FIG. 1 shows a diagram of anapplication environment100 for acquiring a virtual resource according to an example arrangement. Theapplication environment100 may include aterminal110 and aserver120.
• Theterminal110 may be, but is not limited to, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, etc. An interactive application that supports a multimedia resource production function may be installed and run in theterminal110. The interactive application may include a live broadcast application, a short video application, a social application, etc., that can be executed on theterminal110 and other terminals such as but not limited to, theterminal110. The multimedia resources may include videos, audios, and so on. A user of theterminal110 may log in to the interactive application through pre-registered user information, and the user information may include an account and a password.
• Theserver120 provides backend services for the interactive application, such as storing multimedia resources posted by individual users in the interactive application and providing the same to other users. The multimedia resource posted by the user through the interactive application may include a multimedia resource associated with a virtual resource, and the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource can be acquired through a preview interface of the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource. The virtual resource may include a virtue currency associated with the interactive application for reward purposes, such as a “gold coin,” a “gold bean,” a point, etc. In some arrangements, the multimedia resource can be associated with a virtual resource package which includes a certain quantity of virtual resources. The certain quantity of virtual resources can be sourced from a first quantity of virtual resources added by a poster, or from a second quantity of virtual resources sent by the interactive application platform, or from a sum of the first quantity of virtual resources added by the poster and the second quantity of virtual resources sent by the interactive application platform. In some arrangements, the preview page of the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource package may be provided with a virtual resource acquisition control for acquiring the associated virtual resources.
• Theserver120 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or it may be one or more cloud servers that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDNs), big data and artificial intelligence platforms, and so on. The terminal110 may be directly or indirectly connected to theserver120 through wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
• The virtual resource may be acquired by an electronic device, and the electronic device may be a terminal or a server, or the terminal and the server.FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example method for acquiring a virtual resource according to an example arrangement.FIG. 2 is described with respect to theapplication environment100 shown inFIG. 1 to which the method for acquiring the virtual resource can be applied.
• At S201, in response to an access request of a first user for an interactive interface of a second user, the interactive interface of the second user is displayed, where a virtual resource state control is displayed on the interactive interface.
• In some arrangements, the interactive interface of the second user may be a personal homepage of the second user as shown inFIG. 3awhich is a schematic diagram of the interactive interface of the second user in which the virtualresource state control301 is displayed on the personal homepage of the second user.
• In some arrangements of the present disclosure, the virtual resource state control can indicate an available state and a requesting state. If the virtual resource state control indicates the available state, it indicates that the second user has posted the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource. If the virtual resource state control indicates the requesting state, it indicates that the second user has not yet posted the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource. In some arrangements, a text description, an icon, etc. can be added to the virtual resource state control to indicate the available state or the requesting state. Taking an electronic red packet as an example, the text “I want too” can be added on a red packet control to indicate the available state, as shown inFIG. 3a. When the first user taps on the red packet control with the added text “I want too”, it proceeds to S202. The text “Ask for Red Packet” can be added on the red packet control to indicate the red packet requesting state, as shown inFIG. 3b. When the user taps on the red packet control with the added text “Ask for Red packet”, it proceeds to S204.
• In some arrangements, the S21 may include the following steps as shown inFIG. 4.
• At S211, it is determined whether the second user has posted the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource in response to the access request of the first user for the interactive interface of the second user.
• In some arrangements, historical posting information of the second user can be searched. In a case where there is a posting record of the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource in the historical posting information, it can be determined that the second user has posted the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource, and S212 can performed; and in a case where there is no posting record of the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource in the historical posting information, it can be determined that the second user has not posted the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource, and S214 can be performed.
• At S212, the virtual resource state control is set to indicate the available state in a case that the second user has posted the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource.
• At S213, the virtual resource state control indicating the available state is added on a preset area of the interactive interface of the second user, and the interactive interface is displayed.
• The preset area can be determined according to a content layout in the interactive interface of the second user. As shown inFIGS. 3aand3b,the virtual resource state control can be displayed on an upper part of the personal homepage.
• In order to stimulate the first user's initiative to acquire the virtual resource, as shown inFIG. 5a, in some arrangements, S213 may further include the following.
• At S2131, a total quantity of virtual resources that have been issued by the second user is acquired.
• At S2132, information of users that receive the virtual resources issued by the second user is acquired.
• In some arrangements, the information of the user that receives the virtual resources issued by the second user may be an avatar of the user receiving the virtual resources. In some arrangements, only avatars of a preset number of users who have recently received the virtual resources may be acquired. The preset number can be set according to actual needs, for example, the preset number can be three.
• At S2133, the total quantity of the issued virtual resources and the information of the users receiving the issued virtual resources are displayed on the preset area of the interactive interface.
• In some arrangements, a virtual resource widget can be generated based on the total quantity of the issued virtual resources, the information of the users receiving the issued virtual resources and the virtual resource state control indicating the available state. In the generated virtual resource widget, the total quantity of virtual resources that have been issued by the second user can be displayed in a copywriting form, and the information of the users receiving the issued virtual resources and the virtual resource state control indicating the available state can be displayed. It should be understood that other content elements can be added to the widget as desired, for example, the number of followers receiving the virtual resources issued by the second user can also be included.
• Taking the red packet widget as an example,FIG. 5bis a schematic diagram of a display of a red packet widget on a personal homepage. The red packet widget includes a red packet state control indicating the available state and avatars of the last three followers who received follower-rewarding red packets which refer to electronic red packets associated with the video. The copywriting of “Black Girl has issued a total of 888 gold coins of follower-rewarding red packets” shows the total quantity of gold coins in the follower-rewarding red packets issued by the second user “Black Girl”, and the copywriting of “372 followers have received the red packets” shows the number of followers who receive the gold coins in the follower-rewarding red packets of the second user “Black Girl”.
• Through the above solution, the first user can immediately be aware of a specific situation of the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource posted by the second user when accessing the interactive interface of the second user.
• At S214, the virtual resource state control is set to indicate the requesting state in a case that the second user has not posted the multimedia resource associated with the virtual resource.
• At S215, the virtual resource state control indicating the requesting state is added on the preset area of the interactive interface of the second user, and the interactive interface is displayed.
• At S22, a preview interface of a target multimedia resource posted by the second user is displayed in response to a trigger operation on the virtual resource state control by the first user in a case where the virtual resource state control indicates the available state.
• The target multimedia resource may be any multimedia resource from the multimedia resources posted by the second user that are associated with the virtual resource, and the preview interface of the target multimedia resource may be a detail page of the target multimedia resource. In order to facilitate the first user to browse the multimedia resources recently posted by the second user, in some arrangements, S22 may include the following as shown inFIG. 6.
• At S221, a multimedia resource posted most recently is selected from the multimedia resources posted by the second user that are associated with the virtual resources.
• At S222, the multimedia resource posted most recently is used as the target multimedia resource.
• At S223, the preview interface of the target multimedia resource is displayed.
• The preview interface may include a virtual resource acquisition control used for acquiring the virtual resource associated with the target multimedia resource. In some arrangements, in order to improve the user's interest and experience, the multimedia resource posted most recently may be a multimedia resource posted most recently for which the quantity of associated virtual resources satisfies a preset condition, for example, a multimedia resource posted most recently for which the quantity of currently associated virtual resources is greater than 0.
• At S23, a preset quantity of virtual resources are acquired from virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource in response to the trigger operation on the preview interface by the first user.
• In some arrangements, the preview interface may include the virtual resource acquisition control used for acquiring the virtual resource associated with the target multimedia resource. Taking the electronic red packet as an example, a red packet acquisition control “tap to get red packet”701 is displayed in the video detail page as shown inFIG. 7. When the first user triggers (such as tapping, long-pressing, etc.) the virtual resource acquisition control, the preset quantity of virtual resources can be acquired from the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource. In some arrangements, when the first user triggers the virtual resource acquisition control, the preset quantity of virtual resources can be directly acquired. In some arrangements, a virtual resource acquisition interface can be displayed first, and the virtual resource acquisition interface includes a control related to a virtual resource acquisition instruction, so that in response to the trigger operation on the control related to the virtual resource acquisition instruction by the first user, the preset quantity of virtual resources can be acquired from the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource. The preset quantity may be a random quantity of virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource.FIG. 8 shows a red packet acquisition interface entered after the first user taps the red packet acquisition control “tap to get red packet” shown inFIG. 7. The red packet acquisition interface includes a control801 “open”. When the first user taps the control801, a red packet acquisition instruction can be sent, so that a preset quantity of gold coins can be acquired from the gold coins associated with the current video.
• In some arrangements, in order to further increase the number of followers of the second user, only followers of the second user can be allowed to acquire the virtual resources in the virtual resource acquisition interface. If the first user is not currently a follower of the second user, he/she is not allowed to acquire the virtual resource. Only when the first user follows the second user and becomes a follower thereof, he/she can acquire the virtual resource. Accordingly, when acquiring the preset quantity of virtual resources from the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource at S23, it may be determined whether the first user satisfies a second preset condition. When the first user satisfies the preset condition, the preset quantity of virtual resources are acquired from the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource. The second preset condition may be that following state information of the first user with respect to the second user is already following.
• In some arrangements, the following state information of the first user with respect to the second user can be acquired. The control related to the virtual resource acquisition instruction in the virtual resource acquisition interface is set to a trigger-enabled state in a case that the following state information indicates a following state, thus allowing trigger by the first user to acquire the preset quantity of virtual resources from the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource; and the control related to the virtual resource acquisition instruction in the virtual resource acquisition interface is set to a trigger-disabled state in response to the following state information indicates a un-following state, thus not allowing the current first user to acquire the preset quantity of virtual resources from the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource.
• In some arrangements, a following control can also be displayed in the virtual resource acquisition interface in a case that the following state information indicates the un-following state, so that the first user becomes the follower of the second user in response to the trigger operation on the following control by the first user to follow the second user. The control related to the virtual resource acquisition instruction in the virtual resource acquisition interface is set to the trigger-enabled state in response to the following state information of the first user with respect to the second user indicates the following state, thus allowing the first user as the follower to acquire the virtual resource.
• In some arrangements, in a case where the first user does not satisfy the preset condition, a prompt message prompting the first user to follow the second user may be displayed in response to the trigger operation of the first user on the virtual resource acquisition control in the preview interface, thus prompting the first user to follow the second user to become the follower of the second user.
• In some arrangements, in order to enrich the interaction manner, to further enhance the interest in acquiring the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource, and to increase the probability that the first user can acquire the associated virtual resource when accessing the interactive interface of the second user, the S23 of acquiring the preset quantity of virtual resources from the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource in response to the trigger operation on the preview interface by the first user may include the following as shown inFIG. 9.
• At S901, it is determined whether the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource satisfy a first preset condition.
• The first preset condition may be that the quantity of associated virtual resources exceeds a preset quantity threshold which can be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset quantity threshold can be 0, that is, in a case that the quantity of virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource exceeds 0, the virtual resource acquisition interface is displayed, that is, the first preset condition is satisfied in a case where there are still virtual resources that have not been acquired in a virtual resource package associated with the target multimedia resource.
• At S902, a message for requesting the virtual resources is sent to the second user in response to the trigger operation by the first user in a case where the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource do not satisfy the first preset condition.
• The message is used for prompting the second user to issue the virtual resources. The trigger operation of the first user may be a trigger operation on the virtual resource acquisition control in the preview interface, or a trigger operation on the control related to the virtual resource acquisition instruction in the virtual resource acquisition interface.
• In actual applications, due to continuous acquisition of the virtual resources associated with the multimedia resources by the users, the virtual resources associated with the multimedia resources are dynamically changing. As a result, after the first user triggers the preview interface of the target multimedia resource, there may be a situation where the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource do not satisfy the first preset condition. In the arrangements of the present disclosure, in a case where the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource do not satisfy the first preset condition, the message for requesting the virtual resources can be sent to the second user in response to the trigger operation of the first user, so as to improve the probability and experience effect for the first user to acquire the virtual resources.
• In some arrangements, request prompt information of the virtual resource may be displayed in response to the trigger operation of the first user in a case where the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource do not satisfy the first preset condition. The request prompt information is used for prompting whether to request the virtual resource from the second user. The message for requesting the virtual resources is generated in response to receiving an instruction to request the virtual resource from the second user, and the message is sent to a terminal corresponding to the second user, so that the terminal corresponding to the second user displays the message.
• FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a display of request prompt information of a virtual resource. After the first user taps the control801 “open” inFIG. 8, if the quantity of gold coins associated with the current video does not satisfy the first preset condition, for example, the gold coins in the follower-rewarding red packets associated with the current video have all been distributed out, a notifying pop-up window shown in FIG.10 can pop up, displaying “the follower-rewarding red packets have been distributed out, would you like to ask for a new red packet?”, with two options “Cancel” and “Ask for Red packet” displayed at the same time. If the first user taps on “Ask for Red packet”, a red packet request message can be generated and is sent to the terminal corresponding to the second user, so that the terminal corresponding to the second user can display the red packet request message on a message page of the interactive application in the form of a message.FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a red packet request message displayed on a terminal corresponding to a second user, so that the second user can publish a work with the red packet when seeing the red packet request message.
• At S903, the preset quantity of virtual resources are acquired from the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource in a case that the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource satisfy the first preset condition.
• Through the above solutions, the fun in acquiring the virtual resources associated with the multimedia resources can be improved, and the probability that the first user can acquire the associated virtual resources when accessing the interactive interface of the second user can be increased.
• At S24, the message for requesting the virtual resources is sent to the second user in response to the trigger operation by the first user in a case where the virtual resource state control indicates the requesting state.
• The message is used for prompting the second user to issue the virtual resources, and the trigger operation by the first user may be the trigger operation by the first user on the virtual resource state control.
• In some arrangements, the request prompt information of the virtual resource may be displayed in response to the trigger operation by the first user on the virtual resource state control in a case where the virtual resource state control in the interactive interface indicates the requesting state. The request prompt information is used for prompting whether to request the virtual resource from the second user. The message for requesting the virtual resources is generated in response to receiving an instruction to request the virtual resources from the second user, and the message is sent to a terminal corresponding to the second user, so that the terminal corresponding to the second user displays the message.
• FIG. 12 is another schematic diagram showing a display of request prompt information of a virtual resource. The notification pop-up window shown inFIG. 12 can pop up in response to the first user tapping the control “Ask for Red packet” as shown inFIG. 3b, and the notification pop-up window displays “whether to notify the author to ask for a follower-rewarding red packet?”, with two options “Cancel” and “Ask for Red packet” provided. If the first user taps on “Ask for Red packet”, a red packet request message can be generated, and is sent to the terminal corresponding to the second user, so that the terminal corresponding to the second user can display the red packet request message on a message page of the interactive application in the form of a message. For specific display form, reference can be made toFIG. 11.
• In some arrangements, the first user may only be allowed to request the virtual resource from the second user only once, and when the first user makes a request again, prompt information of “a message notification has been sent” may be display to prompt the first user.
• In some arrangements, after the message for requesting the virtual resource is sent to the terminal corresponding to the second user, the virtual resource state control may also be updated to indicate a notified state.
• In some arrangements, when the virtual resource state control indicates the notified state, the first user is prompted that the message has been sent in response to receiving the trigger operation by the first user on the virtual resource state control. In specific, in response to receiving the trigger operation by the first user on the virtual resource state control indicating the notified state, the prompt information for prompting that the message for requesting the virtual resource has already been sent may be displayed.
• FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing a display of a virtual resource state control indicating a notified state on a personal homepage. After the first user taps the control “Ask for Red packet” to send the red packet request message to the second user, a state of the red packet control on the personal homepage is updated from the state shown inFIG. 3bto the state shown inFIG. 14. By adding “notified” to indicate the notification state of the red packet control, in a case where the first user taps the red packet control added with “notified”, a prompt message of “The message notification has been sent” can be displayed.
• In some arrangements, the method may further include: updating the virtual resource state control to indicate the available state in response to a preset operation of the second user.
• In some arrangements, the preset operation may include: posting multimedia data associated with the virtual resources or adjusting the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource to satisfy the first preset condition. For example, the quantity of virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource is increased, so that the quantity reaches a preset quantity threshold, thus enabling the first user to acquire the virtual resources associated with the target multimedia resource.
• In the arrangements of the present disclosure, the first user that is a visitor can acquire the virtual resources associated with the multimedia resources when accessing the interactive interface of the second user, which enriches the interactive mode, increases the fun of multimedia resource consumption in the interactive application, and improves the user's enthusiasm for viewing videos posted by other users, thus increasing the frequency of accessing the interactive application by the user, and increasing the user stickiness for the interactive application. In addition, by requesting the virtual resources from the second user, the interaction mode is further enriched, the interaction between the first user and the second user is enhanced, and the first user's enthusiasm for browsing the videos posted by other users in the interactive application is further improved with enhanced fun.
