After a live broadcasting room is created by a host, audiences may communicate with the host or other audiences by sending live broadcasting interaction information, such as screen information, in the live broadcasting room. However, after a piece of live broadcasting interaction information is sent by any audience terminal, the live broadcasting interaction information may be broadcasted to the host terminal and all the other audience terminals. This method for sending interaction information increases the consumption of bandwidth significantly, and the cost and power consumption of devices. Especially, when the number of audiences in the live broadcasting room increases sharply, the times for sending the live broadcasting interaction information increases significantly, resulting in great device cost and bandwidth cost.
In addition, webcast audio/video data stream and text data stream (i.e., the live broadcasting interaction information) occupy one communication channel independently, which requires additional channel distribution when the live broadcasting server sends the live broadcasting interaction information to audience terminals, which may consume additional resources and may add costs to run and maintain the system.
To solve the foregoing technical problems, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for processing live broadcasting information. This method may be used in program, system and apparatus for processing live broadcasting information and the execution subject corresponding to the method may be terminals such as mobile phone, tablet, computer, etc. As shown in
In step S101, live broadcasting interaction information sent by an interaction server may be received, the live broadcasting interaction information may be sent to the interaction server by an interacting audience terminal.
The live broadcasting interaction information may be one or more pieces of screen information and/or one or more pieces of gift animation information sent by an interacting audience terminal, while the interacting audience terminal may be any one or more of audience terminals in the live broadcasting room where the host terminal resides.
In step S102, the live broadcasting interaction information and a live broadcasting video stream may be combined to get a target video stream.
The live broadcasting video stream may be the video stream need to be played by the host terminal when the webcast is ongoing, and the live broadcasting video stream may include live broadcasting video information and/or live broadcasting audio information.
By combining the live broadcasting interaction information and the live broadcasting video stream, a target video stream carrying the live broadcasting interaction information may be acquired, such that an audience terminal can see the screen information and/or the host terminal's gift sent by an interacting audience terminal which sends the live broadcasting interaction information directly while watching the live broadcasting of the host terminal.
In addition, when combining the live broadcasting interaction information and the live broadcasting video stream, if the live broadcasting video stream has multiple frames of video stream, then the live broadcasting interaction information may be combined with any one of the multiple frames of video stream. After the combination, the live broadcasting interaction information and the live broadcasting video stream may respectively occupy one image layer, to make it convenient for audiences to hide or filter out the live broadcasting interaction information if they do not want to watch the live broadcasting interaction information.
In step S103, the target video stream may be sent to a live broadcasting server to enable the live broadcasting server to send the target video stream to other audience terminals, where the interacting audience terminal may be any one or more of audience terminals in the live broadcasting room where the host terminal resides, the other audience terminals may be audience terminals in the live broadcasting room except the one or more interacting audience terminals.
By sending the target video stream combined from the live broadcasting interaction information and live broadcasting video stream to the live broadcasting server, it is convenient for the live broadcasting server to send the target video stream to the other audience terminals, such that an audience terminal can see the screen information and/or the host terminal's gift sent by an interacting audience terminal which sends the live broadcasting interaction information directly while watching the live broadcasting of the host terminal.
In this way to combine the live broadcasting interaction information and live broadcasting video stream, the interaction server may only need to send the live broadcasting interaction information for one time (i.e., to the host terminal) to make all the other audience terminals in the live broadcasting room can see the live broadcasting interaction information sent by the interacting audience terminal, regardless of how many audiences are in the live broadcasting room. This avoids the need to send the live broadcasting interaction information to all the other audiences in the live broadcasting room to make the other audience terminals in the live broadcasting room can see the live broadcasting interaction information when the interaction server receives the live broadcasting interaction information, resulting in reduction of times for sending the live broadcasting interaction information and reduction of bandwidth occupation.
In addition, by combining the live broadcasting interaction information and the live broadcasting video stream, the live broadcasting video stream and the live broadcasting interaction information may share one channel, which avoids consuming the extra network cost resulting from additional channel occupation and usage.
In one embodiment, the live broadcasting video stream may include live broadcasting video information and/or live broadcasting audio information.
The live broadcasting interaction information may include screen information or gift animation information, where the screen information may include at least one of: text information, system prompting information, and emoticon information.
The live broadcasting interaction information may be screen information or gift animation information used to represent the gift given to the host terminal by an interacting audience terminal, while the screen information may include but not limited to: text information, emoticon information, and system prompting information sent by the interacting audience terminal, for example, image information sent by the interacting audience terminal may also be included.
In addition, the system prompting information may include: prompting information for an interacting audience terminal sends a gift, prompting information for an interacting audience terminal enters the live broadcasting room, prompting information for an interacting audience terminal leaves the live broadcasting room, prompting information activated by an interacting audience terminal, etc.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide another method for processing live broadcasting information. The execution subject corresponding to this method may be an interaction server access layer between the host terminal and audience terminals (application (APP) between the host terminal and audience terminals), wherein the interaction server may store identification information (e.g., address information) of the host terminal and audience terminals. The method may include:
As shown in
In step S202, the live broadcasting interaction information may be sent to a host terminal, where the interacting audience terminal may be any one of audience terminals in the live broadcasting room where the host terminal resides.
When the live broadcasting interaction information sent by any one of the audience terminals in the live broadcasting room is received, by sending the live broadcasting interaction information to the host terminal directly, rather than to the host terminal as well as all the other audience terminals, the interaction server may only need to send the live broadcasting interaction information for one time, regardless of how many audience terminals are in the live broadcasting room.
In this way, the need may be avoided for the interaction server to send the live broadcasting interaction information to all the other audiences in the live broadcasting room to make the other audience terminals in the live broadcasting room are able to watch the live broadcasting interaction information. Thus, on the basis of reduced times for sending the live broadcasting interaction information and reduced bandwidth occupation, the host terminal may combine the live broadcasting interaction information and its live broadcasting video stream and then send the target video stream to other audience terminals by the live broadcasting server, to ensure that other audience terminals may watch the live broadcasting interaction information sent by the interacting audience terminal while watching the live broadcasting video stream of the host terminal.
The present embodiment may reduce the times for sending the live broadcasting interaction information and occupied bandwidth, thus the power consumption of the interaction server may be reduced, and the configuration requirement for the interaction server and device cost may be lower.
Sometimes, it may be possible to provide a choice for the sender of the live broadcasting interaction information such as an audience terminal in the live broadcasting room to send the live broadcasting interaction information. For example, the audience terminal may send the live broadcasting interaction information to a server and the server may combine the live broadcasting interaction information and the live broadcasting video stream and send to other audience terminals. On the other hand, the audience terminal may have an option to also send the live broadcasting interaction information directly to other audience terminals.
When the audience terminal chooses to send the live broadcasting interaction information directly to other audience terminals. The audience terminal may further to have an option to send the live broadcasting interaction information to one or more audience terminals, and the one or more audience terminals may be a subset of audience terminals that the live broadcasting interaction information may be sent to. For example, the audience terminal may send the live broadcasting interaction information directly to one other audience terminal it chooses. Alternatively, the audience terminal may send the live broadcasting interaction information directly to more than one audience terminals.
Sometimes, the audience terminal may designate one or more receiving audience terminals for the live broadcasting interaction information. For example, when a server receives the live broadcasting interaction information from an audience terminal, the server may also receive a request from the audience terminal to designate one or more receiving audience terminals for the live broadcasting interaction information. The server may combine the live broadcasting interaction information and the live broadcasting video stream to form a target video stream and send the target video stream to the one or more receiving audience terminals requested by the audience terminal.
Sometimes the server may determine only send the combined target video stream to a subset of the possible receiving audience terminals. For example, when the server receives the live broadcasting interaction information from an audience terminal and forms the target video stream by combining the live broadcasting interaction information and the live broadcasting video stream, the server may determine the receiving audience terminals according to the content of the live broadcasting interaction information or according to other predetermined categories, and send the target video stream to the determined receiving audience terminals. The determined receiving audience terminals may be a subset of the receiving audience terminals that the server may send the target video stream to.
As described above, the live broadcasting interaction information may be screen information or gift animation information. In addition, the live broadcasting interaction information may be other type of information that an audience terminal may send to one or more receiving terminals. Particularly, the live broadcasting interaction information may be information that an audience terminal may send to more than one receiving terminals.
In one embodiment, the live broadcasting interaction information may include screen information or gift animation information, where the screen information may include at least one of: text information, system prompting information, and emoticon information.
The live broadcasting interaction information may be screen information or gift animation information used to represent the gift given to the host terminal by an interacting audience terminal, while the screen information may include but not limited to: text information, emoticon information, and system prompting information sent by the interacting audience terminal, for example, image information sent by the interacting audience terminal may also be included. The system prompting information may include: prompting information for an interacting audience terminal sends a gift, prompting information for an interacting audience terminal enters the live broadcasting room, prompting information for an interacting audience terminal leaves the live broadcasting room, prompting information activated by an interacting audience terminal, etc.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide yet another method for processing live broadcasting information. This method may be used at a live broadcasting server, and the network used by the live broadcasting server may be Content Delivery Network. The method may include:
As shown in
In step S302, the target video stream may be sent to other audience terminal, the other audience terminal may be any one of audience terminals in the live broadcasting room where the host terminal resides except an interacting audience terminal, and the interacting audience terminal may be the audience terminal sending the live broadcasting interaction information.
By sending the target video stream combined from the live broadcasting interaction information and live broadcasting video stream to other audience terminals, an audience terminal can see the screen information and/or the host terminal's gift sent by an interacting audience terminal which sends the live broadcasting interaction information directly while watching the live broadcasting of the host terminal.
In this way to combine the live broadcasting interaction information and live broadcasting video stream, the interaction server may only need to send the live broadcasting interaction information for one time to make all the other audience terminals in the live broadcasting room can see the live broadcasting interaction information sent by the interacting audience terminal. This avoids the need for the interaction server to send the live broadcasting interaction information to all the other audiences in the live broadcasting room to make the other audience terminals in the live broadcasting room can see the live broadcasting interaction information when the live broadcasting interaction information is received, so as to reduce the times for sending the live broadcasting interaction information and bandwidth occupation.
In addition, a server may push the target video stream to other audience terminals actively when sending the target video stream to other audience terminals, or when a request sent by other audience terminals for acquiring the live broadcasting video stream is received. The audience terminals may acquire the target video stream carrying the live broadcasting interaction information sent by the host terminal according to the address of the video stream of the host terminal in the live broadcasting server carried in the request. The server may thus send the target video stream carrying the live broadcasting interaction information to other audience terminals.
