400. The media item 402 is selected from the media library associated with the media playback scenario (e.g., fitness) corresponding to the control 332. That is, once the electronic device 110 receives the user's selection for the control 332 on the interface 300C, the switched media item 402 will replace the media item 301 and become the currently played media item.

Alternatively, or in addition, a label corresponding to the target media playback scenario control 332 selected by the user can be presented in the interface 400. For example, the display area 401 of the interface 400 presents a label 401 to indicate that the currently played media item 402 is related to the target media playback scenario selected by the user. As such, the user can intuitively and clearly know the media playback scenario corresponding to one or more currently recommended media items. It should be understood that if the user selects another control, a label corresponding to the other control which is selected can be presented on the interface 400.

In other embodiments, if the electronic device 110 receives a user's selection for the target control on the second user interface, the electronic device 110 can switch the currently played media item displayed on the first user interface to another media item which is selected from the media library associated with the target media playback scenario corresponding to the selected target control, while still presenting the second user interface.

For example, if the electronic device 110 receives the user's selection for the control 332 on the interface 300C, the electronic device 110 can continue to present the interface 300C. However, the currently played media item, such as the media item 301 presented from the interface 300A, is switched to the media item 402 displayed on the interface 400. That is to say, even if the electronic device 110 maintains the presentation of the second user interface, the currently played media item displayed on the first user interface, which is covered by the second user interface, will be switched.

In this way, the user can more conveniently select the desired media playback scenario by selecting media playback scenarios with strong pre-universality and sufficient content supply. After the user selects the scenario, the switched media items associated with the selected scenario are immediately provided to the user, making the user more willing to consume on the homepage. At the same time, the user's consumption behavior for different media playback scenarios can also be collected to further optimize the media recommendation algorithm and improve the accuracy of media recommendation.

Further, in some other embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also cease display of the second user interface in the case that the user does not select a target control. FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate example interfaces 500A and 500B of an application according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the interface 500A provides an interface element 501 that guides the user to exit the second user interface by performing a specific operation. In this case, if a sliding operation of the user 102 along the specified direction (such as the second direction 502) is detected on the interface 500A, the electronic device 110 can exit the display of the second user interface and restore the display of the interface 300A or 300B. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the interface 500A provides an interface element 511 that guides the user to exit the second user interface. In this case, if the selection of the interface element 511 by the user 102 is detected on the interface 500B, the electronic device 110 can cease the display of the second user interface and restore the display of the interface 300A or 300B.

In some other embodiments, in the case that the electronic device 110 does not present an interface element guiding the exit of the second user interface, if the electronic device 110 detects a specific operation of the user, such as sliding in a predetermined direction, on the interface 300C, or if it is detected that the time duration that the user makes no operation exceeds a threshold while the interface 300C is presented, the electronic device 110 can cease the display of the second user interface and restore the display of the interface 300A or 300B.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to guide users to input and/or change media playback preferences in a simple manner, so as to achieve more accurate media recommendation of media playback applications, thereby further improving customer stickiness.

Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide corresponding apparatus for implementing the above methods or processes. FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of a apparatus 600 for controlling a media player application according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 6, the apparatus 600 comprises a presentation module 610 configured to present a second user interface of the media playback application in response to detecting a predetermined user operation in a first user interface of the media playback application, the second user interface comprising at least a first set of controls associated with media playback scenarios.

The apparatus 600 also comprises a receiving module 620 configured to receive a user's selection of a target control in the first set of controls.

In addition, the apparatus 600 comprises a switching module 630 configured to, in response to the selection, switch a currently played first media item displayed on the first user interface to a second media item, the second media item selected from a media library associated with a target media play scenario corresponding to the target control.

In some embodiments, the predetermined user operation includes at least one of the following: one or more sliding operations in a first direction on the first user interface, or an operation of an interface element displayed on the first user interface for accessing the second user interface.

In some embodiments, the presentation module 610 may also be configured to slide the second user interface into the display screen in a predetermined direction.

In some embodiments, the presentation module 610 may also be configured to display a sidebar as the second user interface on a side of the first user interface such that the second user interface covers a portion of the first user interface.

In some embodiments, the second user interface further comprises a second set of controls for adjusting the media recommendation mode; and/or a third set of controls for selecting a media attribute, the media attribute comprising at least one of: media publishing time, media language, or a type of music related to the media.

In some embodiments, the switching module 630 is further configured to switch the currently played first media item displayed on the first user interface to the second media item without ceasing display of the second user interface.
