The disclosure provides a live streaming interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method comprises: receiving an invitation request from a first terminal; transmitting the invitation request to a second terminal, and receiving an acceptance information for the invitation request that is returned by the second terminal; and on the basis of the acceptance information, transmitting to a viewer terminal a connection instruction used for connecting with a second GS so that the viewer terminal stops the connection with a live streaming server and connects to the second GS so as to control a character of the same game as an anchor terminal. In the live streaming interaction method disclosed in the disclosure, a game can be combined with live streaming.

This disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for displaying an expression in a virtual scene. The method includes: displaying a virtual scene; displaying an expression selection region at a first target position in the virtual scene in response to a drag operation on an expression addition icon; and displaying the first target expression in the virtual scene in response to a selection operation on a first target expression in a plurality of first candidate expressions.

Systems and methods for profile-based language translation and filtration are provided. A user language profile specifying one or more translation rules may be stored in memory for a user. A current communication session associated with a user device of the user may be monitored. The current communication session may includes messages from one or more other user devices of one or more other users. A language set in at least one of the messages of the current communication session may be detected as triggering at least one of the translation rules in real-time. The language set in the at least one message may further be filtered in real-time based on the at least one translation rule, which may thereby modify the at least one message. Further, a presentation of the current communication session that is provided to the user device may be modified to include the filtered language set of the modified message instead of the triggering language set.

A method of enabling a user to play a game with a virtual friend includes determining a virtual friend having first feature information on the basis of user information, determining a message from the virtual friend to be transmitted to the user on a basis of the user information and the first feature information, transmitting the message to the user; and when the user who has received the message accesses a game, transmitting an invitation message from the virtual friend to the user within the game.

A system and method for facilitating a user defined virtual space is disclosed. One or more virtual space locations and/or activities may be correlated with user specified geolocations. In some implementations, the user specified geolocations may be verified against one or more spatial requirements prior to recording the user selected space-geolocation correlations. A user request to initiate an action or activity in the virtual space may be received. Prior to executing the requested action or activity in the virtual space, the user current geolocation may be verified against that specified in a space-geolocation correlation corresponding to a virtual space location or activity indicated in the user request.

A game controller includes a touchpad that a user, viewing a virtual keyboard on a screen, can soft-touch to move a cursor on the screen and then hard-touch to move the cursor and also send location data to a processor for inputting a letter from the virtual keyboard. Machine learning is used to predict a next letter or next word.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for providing a platform that facilitates communication between a messaging application and a web-based gaming application; receiving, via the platform, a request from the web-based gaming application to execute a reward activity; determining, by the messaging application, that the request satisfies a reward activity criterion; generating the reward activity on the messaging application in response to receiving the request; and communicating, via the platform, a status of the reward activity from the messaging application to the web-based gaming application.
