### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the receiving, by the first terminal device, the mode information of the first user, and configuring, for the first user, video resources corresponding to the mode information comprises:
displaying, by the first terminal device, a page corresponding to a signal source specified in the personalized settings information of the first user, wherein the page comprises video resources recommended by the server and video resources that are presented in a form of cards and that correspond to the watch category specified for the first user.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method according to claim 3, wherein the method further comprises:
displaying, by the first terminal device, a first face registration screen in response to an operation of creating an account by the first user, wherein the first face registration screen comprises a first selection window and a second selection window, the first selection window is used for agreeing to register face information, and the second selection window is used for refusing to register face information; and
obtaining, by the first terminal device by using the first camera, the face information of the first user in response to an operation of agreeing to register face information by the first user.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, wherein after the obtaining, by the first terminal device by using the first camera, the face information of the first user in response to an operation of agreeing to register face information by the first user, the method further comprises:
displaying, by the first terminal device, a first basic settings screen, wherein the first user performs personalized settings on the first basic settings screen to generate the personalized settings information of the first user;
sending, by the first terminal device, the face information of the first user and the personalized settings information of the first user to the server; and
