  • Publication number: 20250088415
    Abstract: A network configuration method includes receiving, in response to a target electrical device being powered on, a hotspot activation instruction from a user, transmitting the hotspot activation instruction to a to-be-connected electrical device through a base station, to cause the to-be-connected electrical device to enter an automatic network configuration phase, and receiving a network connection instruction transmitted by a terminal device. The network connection instruction includes a wireless network identifier and a corresponding password. The method further includes transmitting the wireless network identifier and the corresponding password to the to-be-connected electrical device through the base station after the target electrical device has been successfully connected to a network based on the wireless network identifier and the corresponding password, to enable the to-be-connected electrical device to connect to a network based on the wireless network identifier and the corresponding password.

  • Publication number: 20230230305
    Abstract: This application provides techniques of generating a virtual character for an online streamer. The techniques comprises obtaining a human body image of a target online streamer captured by an image collection device, wherein the human body image of the target online streamer comprises at least a face and an upper body part of the target online streamer; separately performing face recognition and upper-body limb recognition on the human body image to obtain face features and limb features; determining parameters associated with a virtual character corresponding to the target online streamer based on the face features and the limb features; and generating the virtual character corresponding to the target online streamer based on the parameters, wherein the generated virtual character has a motion and an expression corresponding to that of the target online streamer.
