It should be noted that terms “first” and “second” in the specification and claims of the disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific sequence or order. It should be understood that data indicated in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementation manners described in the following embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
The method for transmitting data, provided in the disclosure, can be applicable to an environment illustrated in
At block S100, playing data is received. The playing data can be provided by the second electronic device. The playing data may include first playing information of a target video on the second electronic device.
At block S200, the first playing information is obtained by parsing the playing data.
At block S300, playing information at a first moment of the target video is obtained. The playing information at the first moment is determined as second playing information of the target video on the first electronic device.
At block S400, playing of the target video on the first electronic device is adjusted based on the first playing information and the second playing information.
The playing data refers to data formed by playing information of playing a movie, a series of teleplays or the like during a live streaming process, which refers to playing data corresponding to an anchor herein. The playing information refers to a playing state, a playing progress and a video identifier of playing a movie, a series of teleplays or the like during the live streaming process. For example, the playing state may be pause, playing, fast-forwarding, etc. The video identifier refers to identification information for indicating a category, a type or detail of the target video, which may be a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address or an address corresponding to the video.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, the first moment may be a time point of the target video being played on the first electronic device when the playing data is received.
It is taken the playing information including the playing state, the playing progress and the video identifier of playing a movie, a series of teleplays or the like during the live streaming process as an example to describe. The first electronic device receives the playing data provided by the second electronic device through the server, and parses the playing data to obtain the first playing information of the target video. The playing information (second playing information) of the target video at the first moment on the first electronic device, is obtained by the first electronic device. The second playing information is compared with the first playing information by the electronic device. Under a case that the first playing information is consistent with the second playing information, it does not adjust the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device and maintains the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device. Under a case that the first playing information is not consistent with the second playing information, it indicates that the playing of the target video on the first electronic device is inconsistent with the playing of the target video on the second electronic device, the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device may be adjusted based on the first playing information and the second playing information, and the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device is aligned with the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the second electronic device. For example, the first playing information of the target video may be the playing state on the second electronic device corresponding to an anchor during the live streaming, and the second playing information of the target video may be the playing state on the first electronic device corresponding to an audience or a guest during the live streaming.
With the above-mentioned method for transmitting data, the playing data provided by the second electronic device, may be received. The playing data may include the first playing information of the target video on the second electronic device. The playing data is parsed to obtain the first playing information. The playing information at the first moment of the target video is obtained and determined as the second playing information of the target video on the first electronic device. The playing of the target video is adjusted based on the first playing information and the second playing information. The playing data is received, and the playing of the target video is adjusted based on the first playing information, obtained by parsing the playing data, on the second electronic device and the obtained second playing information on the first electronic device. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method may ensure that the state and the progress of the target video played on the multiple devices are unified, and improve the user experience of live streaming products.
In some embodiments, the first playing information includes at least one of: a playing state of the target video on the second electronic device, a playing progress of the target video on the second electronic device, and an identifier of the target video. In some embodiments, the second playing information includes at least one of: a playing state of the target video on the first electronic device, a playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device, and an identifier of the target video. That is, the playing information can include the playing state; the playing information can include the playing progress; and the playing information can include the identifier of the target video. Or the playing information can include the playing state and the playing progress, the playing information can include the playing state and the identifier of the target video, and the playing information can include the playing progress and the identifier of the target video. Or the playing information can include the playing state, the playing progress and the identifier of the target video. For example, in some cases that the target video does not change, the playing information includes the playing state and the playing progress; in some cases that the target video is playing normal, the playing information includes the playing progress; in some cases that the target video is paused, the playing information includes the playing state; in some cases that the target video change, the playing information includes the identifier of the target video, or the playing information includes all the playing state, the playing progress and the identifier of the target video, or the playing information includes the playing state and the identifier of the target video, or the playing information includes the playing progress and the identifier of the target video.
In detail, the playing state refers to the target video is paused, playing, or fast-forwarded. The video identifier of the target video refers to identification information for indicating a category, a type or detail of the target video, which may be a URL address or an address corresponding to the video.
In some embodiments, as an implementable manner of the action at block S100 the playing data is corresponding to a data synchronization service, the data synchronization service for synchronizing data for multiple electronic devices.
In detail, the data synchronization service corresponding to each electronic device may be different. Different data synchronization services correspond to different playing data. Based on the corresponding data synchronization service and playing data, different data synchronization services can be implemented, which may provide a data basis for the follow-up targeted synchronizing the playing information of the target video based on different data types. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method may synchronize timely the playing information for the multiple devices, ensure the unified state and progress of the target video played on the multiple devices, and improve the user experience of live streaming products.
In some embodiments, as an implementable manner before the action at block S100, the method further includes: obtaining a playing identity; launching the data synchronization service corresponding to the playing identity; and providing an identifier of the data synchronization service to the second electronic device.
The playing identity refers to an identity of each user participating in the live streaming or an identity of an electronic device corresponding to each user participating in the live streaming. The playing identity includes an anchor, a guest and the like. The identity may be changed. For example, when the audience watching the live streaming goes to the microphone to make a speech, the corresponding playing identity of this person is changed from the audience to the guest, and when this person finishes speaking and disembarks to watch the live streaming, the corresponding playing identity of this person is changed from the guest to the audience.
In detail, the data synchronization service corresponding to the playing identity is launched based on the playing identity corresponding to the first electronic device, and the identifier of the data synchronization service is provided to the second electronic device. Therefore, the second electronic device may transmit different playing data based on the corresponding data synchronization services, and the first electronic device may receive the playing data corresponding to the data synchronization service. It may provide a data basis for the follow-up targeted synchronizing the playing information of the target video based on different data types. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method may synchronize timely the playing information for the multiple devices, ensure the unified state and progress of the target video played on the multiple devices, and improve the user experience of live streaming products.
In some embodiments, the identifier of the data synchronization service is updated to the second electronic device in response to the data synchronization service being changed.
In detail, under a case that the type of the current data synchronization service changes, the identifier of the updated data synchronization service is provided to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device may convert the type of the received playing data in time, and the target video may be adjusted based on the corresponding data synchronization service.
In some embodiments, an instruction for changing the playing identity is obtained, and the playing identity is changed based on the instruction.
In detail, different playing identities may be changed mutually. The playing identity may be changed based on the instruction for changing the playing identity. For example, the audience can participate in the interaction by leaving a message while watching the live streaming. However, if the audience wants to interact with the anchor by voice or video and show it to other audiences, this audience can request (for example, via putting up the microphone) to change the playing identity, and the instruction for changing the playing identity may be generated. After the request is approved, the playing identity may be changed to change from the audience to the guest. Similarly identities among audiences, anchors, and guests may be changed based on the corresponding instructions for changing the playing identity.
In the above embodiments, the playing identity is Obtained, and the data synchronization service corresponding to the playing identity is launched. The identifier of the data synchronization service is provided to the second electronic device. When the type of the current data synchronization service changes, the identifier of the updated data synchronization service is provided to the second electronic device. The instruction for changing the identity is obtained, and the playing identity is changed based on the instruction for changing the identity. The playing information can be synchronized in time for the multiple devices based on the identities and corresponding synchronization services in the live streaming process, thereby synchronizing the playing information for the multiple devices timely, ensuring the unified state and progress of the target video played on the multiple devices, and improving the user experience of live streaming products. The identities among the anchors, audiences and guests may be changed based on specific needs in the live streaming process. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method may provide a basis for launching the data synchronization service corresponding to the playing identity and implement changes of playing identities on demand.
In some embodiments, the playing identity includes a first identity and a second identity. The data synchronization service includes a first data synchronization service and a second data synchronization service. The first identity is corresponding to the first data synchronization service, and the second identity is corresponding to the second data synchronization service.
The first identity and the second identity may be any of guests and audiences. The first data synchronization service and the second data synchronization service include, but are not limited to, any of a broadcast data sync service (BDSS) and an audio stream data sync service (ASDSS).
The BDSS system is a data exchange service system extended and derived from the user datagram protocol (UDP). The system uses the UDP protocol for data broadcasting, and can specify the type of data broadcasting, such as packet loss and anti-packet loss. The system may do the corresponding processing based on the type of data broadcasting. For example, for data of anti-packet loss, the first electronic device of the receiving end will send a corresponding ACK packet (acknowledgement data packet) if it receives this type of data, and the second electronic device of the transmitting end may retransmit and perform other behaviors in response to that the transmitting end does not receive the ACK packet. The BDSS system has the characteristics of reliability and low latency. The BDSS system can synchronize the playing of the guest singing accompaniment and the anchor accompaniment. The ASDSS system is system supporting inserting a customized data segment based on audio streams. This system is used to synchronize data to the audiences' mobile devices in the live streaming room, which may insert a customized data segment into the audio stream. The first electronic device corresponding to the audience may receive the audio stream and parse the audio stream to extract the data segment. The system can solve the problem of high-concurrency data synchronization, and has the characteristics of keeping the data stream information and the audio stream information completely synchronized. The ASDSS can solve the synchronization problem of the audience watching the video.
In some embodiments, both the first identity and the second identity can use the first data synchronization service, or both can use the second data synchronization, or the first identity can use the first data synchronization service, and the second identity can use the second data synchronization service.
In some embodiments, when it is detected that the playing identity is changed from the second identity to the first identity, the second data synchronization service is terminated and the first data synchronization service is launched. When it is detected that the playing identity is changed from the first identity to the second identity, the first data synchronization service is terminated and the second data synchronization service is launched.
When it is detected that the playing identity is changed from the second identity to the first identity, the data synchronization service, through which the playing data is received subsequently, is the first data synchronization service. Therefore, the second data synchronization service is terminated, to prevent the second data synchronization service from receiving the playing data, avoiding occupying unnecessary operating space. The first data synchronization service is launched, to provide a basis for subsequent reception of playing data through the data synchronization service. When it is detected that the playing identity is changed from the first identity to the second identity, the data synchronization service, through which the playing data is received subsequently, is the second data synchronization service. Therefore, the first data synchronization service is terminated. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method may prevent the first data synchronization service from receiving the playing data, and avoid occupying unnecessary operating space. The second data synchronization service is launched, to provide a basis for subsequent reception of playing data through the data synchronization service.
In the above embodiments, when it is detected that the playing identity is changed from the second identity to the first identity, the second data synchronization service is terminated and the first data synchronization service is launched. When it is detected that the playing identity is changed from the first identity to the second identity, the first data synchronization service is terminated and the second data synchronization service is launched. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method may enable subsequent reception and parsing of the playing data based on the characteristics of each playing identity, prevent unnecessary data synchronization services from receiving the playing data, avoid occupying unnecessary operating space, and provide a basis for subsequent reception of the playing data through the data synchronization service.
In some embodiments, as an implementation manner of the action at block S400, said adjusting the playing of the target video based on the first playing information and the second playing information, includes: obtaining a comparison by comparing the first playing information with the second playing information; and adjusting the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device based on the comparison.
The comparison may include a speech of the anchor or the guest, or the state (paused, playing, fast-forwarded and playing progress) of playing movies, a series of plays, or the like.
In detail, the first playing information is compared with the second playing information, and the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device of the receiving end may be adjusted based on the playing information of the target video on the second electronic device of the transmitting end.
In some embodiments, a parameter in the comparison is detected. It maintains the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device in response to the parameter being less than or equal to a threshold. The playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device is updated in response to the parameter being greater than the threshold.
The threshold refers to a deviation threshold of each parameter in the comparison result. Taking the playing progress as an example, the threshold corresponding to the playing progress may be 10 seconds or 20 seconds.
In detail, under a case that the parameter in the comparison result is less than or equal to the threshold, it is considered that the deviation between the playing progress of the target video on the second electronic device of the transmitting end and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device of the receiving end is within a tolerable range, the comparison parties are basically synchronized, and the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device of the receiving end may be maintained. Under a case that the parameter in the comparison result is greater than the threshold, it is considered that the deviation between the playing progress of the target video on the second electronic device of the transmitting end and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device of the receiving end is large, which may affect the live streaming experience. The two parties are not synchronized, and the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device need to be adjusted, and the playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device of the receiving end are updated.
In some embodiments, an identifier of the target video is detected, and video data of the target video is updated in response to the identifier of the target video being changed.
In detail, during the playing of the target video, there are requirements for continuous playing different plays. When one play is finished and another play is started, the identifier of the target video will change. At this time, the identifier of the target video needs to be updated to ensure the smooth of the live streaming process. For example, the latest playing information transmitted by the second electronic device corresponding to the anchor, includes the playing state (pause), the playing progress (2 minutes and 50 seconds), the name of the play (or the address of the play), and the second episode of the play. If the audience is still watching the first episode of the play and the first episode needs to be changed to the second episode, the first electronic device corresponding to the audience will receive data of the second episode from the server while receiving the corresponding playing information. The first electronic device corresponding to the audience adjusts the playing of the second episode of the play based on the playing state and the playing progress. In some embodiments, while obtaining the data of the updated target video, the playing data provided by the second electronic device is obtained again, and the playing state, the playing progress and the data of the target video are simultaneously updated.
In the above embodiments, the first playing information is compared with the second playing information to obtain a comparison about the target video playing. The playing state and the playing progress of the target video on the first electronic device are adjusted based on the comparison about the target video playing. In some embodiments, the method may ensure that the state and the progress of the target video played are unified, and improve the user experience of live broadcast products.
At block S10, playing information of a target video on the second electronic device is obtained.
At block S20, playing data including the playing information is generated.
At block S30, the playing data is transmitted through a pre-created data synchronization service.
The playing information refers to a playing state of playing a movie, a series of teleplays or the like during the live streaming process. For example, the playing state can be paused, playing, fast-forwarded, which refers to the playing information corresponding to the anchor. The playing data refers to data formed by the playing information of playing a movie, a series of teleplays or the like during the live streaming process, which supports data synchronization services. The data synchronization service refers to a service technology used in data transmission and parsing.
In detail, the playing information of the target video is obtained, the playing data including the playing information is generated, and the playing data is transmitted through the pre-created data synchronization service. In some embodiments, the playing data is transmitted by the electronic device corresponding to the anchor, and electronic devices corresponding to the guests and audiences can receive the playing data transmitted by the electronic device corresponding to the anchor and parse the playing data, to adjust the playing state on the electronic devices corresponding to the guests and audiences.
With the above method for transmitting data, the playing information of the target video is obtained, in which the playing information is playing information of the target video on the second electronic device. The playing data including the playing information of the target video is generated. The playing data is transmitted through the pre-created data synchronization service. The playing data is generated, which provides a basis for synchronization based on the playing data. In some embodiments, the electronic device that needs to synchronize can quickly and accurately adjust the live data based on the corresponding data type after receiving the playing data.
In some embodiment, as an implementation of the action at block S10, said obtaining the playing information, includes: obtaining the playing information based on a time interval; or obtaining the playing information in response to an instruction far adjusting the target video.
In detail, the time interval may be preset. The time interval is an interval required for data transmission and data synchronization during the live streaming progress. Based on statistical data and user experience, a delay of 1-10 seconds is generally acceptable to the audience. An acceptable delay for the guest should not exceed 3 seconds, or even shorter because the guest needs to carry on real-time communication with the anchor. Therefore, for different data synchronization services, the intervals may be set differently. The time interval can be set to range from 0 to 10 seconds. Here, 0 to 10 seconds are illustrative and not used to limit the time interval.
In detail, when the time interval is 3 seconds, the playing information in the live streaming is obtained every 3 seconds, and the playing information is converted, broadcast or transmitted. Or, there is an instruction for adjusting videos in the process of playing the play. At this time, it is necessary to actively obtain, convert, broadcast or transmit the playing information. In some embodiments, in the normal playing state, the playing information in the live streaming is obtained every 3 seconds. However, in the 2nd second of a cycle, the anchor performs the adjustment, such as pause, fast forward, and rewind. At this time, the instruction for adjusting videos may be generated based on the anchor's operation, and the playing information including the video adjustment may be obtained.
In some embodiments, the first playing data is transmitted through the first data synchronization service, and the second playing data is transmitted through the second data synchronization service.
The playing data includes first playing data and second playing data. The data synchronization service includes a first data synchronization service and a second data synchronization service. The first playing data refers to the data that is formed by the playing information of playing during the live streaming and supports the first data synchronization service. The second playing data refers to the data that is formed by the playing information of playing during the live streaming and supports the second data synchronization service. The data synchronization service refers to the service technology used in data transmission and parsing. The data synchronization service includes but not is limited to a broadcast data sync service (BDSS) and an audio stream data sync service (ASDSS). In some embodiments, the first data synchronization service may be BDSS, and the second data synchronization service may be ASDSS.
In detail, the playing information of the target video is obtained. The playing information of the target video is packaged with the different data synchronization services to obtain the first playing data and the second playing data. The first playing data is broadcast through the pre-created first data synchronization service (such as BDSS). The second playing data is transmitted through the pre-created second data synchronization service (ASDSS).
In the above embodiments, the playing information is obtained based on the time interval; or, it is detected whether there is the instruction for adjusting videos during the playing of the target video, and the playing information is obtained in response to that there is the instruction for adjusting videos. After the playing information is obtained, the electronic device corresponding to the audience and the electronic device corresponding to the guest can receive the playing information at a regular time. Based on the playing information of the anchor, the state of the electronic device corresponding to the audience and the electronic device corresponding to the guest can be adjusted synchronously. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method may synchronize the live data quickly and accurately in real time at the preset time interval or when there is the instruction for adjusting videos without triggering the synchronous request manually.
The anchor (at the side of the second electronic device) launches a live room with a small theater, selects a play in the live room, and transmits information about the play through the link to first electronic devices corresponding to the guests and audiences. The BDSS service and the ASDSS service are established and then the play is played. The information about the play will be generated to the BDSS data element and the ASDSS data element respectively, and the BDSS data element and the ASDSS data element may be transmitted through BDSS and ASDSS services respectively. In the normal playing mode, the data element is generated and transmitted every 3 seconds. When the anchor has an active operation, such as pausing, resuming, adjusting the playing progress, etc., the BDSS data element and the ASDSS data element may be generated immediately after the operation is completed and transmitted through BDSS and ASDSS services respectively.
After the first electronic device corresponding to the guest or the audience receives the information about the play, the first electronic device analyzes the information about the play, and prepares a player based on the analyzed information. The first electronic device corresponding to the guest receives the playing data (the BDSS data element) provided by the second electronic device corresponding to the anchor from the BDSS service, and obtains the first play information by parsing the playing data, such as the current playing state being paused or played, the playing progress and the identifier of the target video. The playing state and the playing progress may be adjusted by operating the player based on the first playing information, to be aligned with the playing state and the playing progress of the anchor, and to make the identifier of the target video consistent with the identifier of the target video of the anchor. The first electronic device corresponding to the audience receives the playing data (the ASDSS data element) provided by the second electronic device corresponding to the anchor from the ASDSS service, and obtains the first play information by parsing the playing data, such as the current playing state being paused or played, the playing progress and the identifier of the target video. The playing state and the playing progress may be adjusted by operating the player based on the first playing information, to be aligned with the playing state and the playing progress of the anchor, and to make the identifier of the target video consistent with the identifier of the target video of the anchor. In some embodiments, when the audience becomes a guest, the ASDSS service is destroyed and the BDSS service is created. Similarly, when the guest becomes an audience, the BDSS service is destroyed and the ASDSS service is created.
In the process of synchronously adjusting the playing state of the target video, the first electronic device at the receiving end, corresponding to the guest or the audience, receives the playing data, parses the playing data to obtain the first playing information, and compares the first playing information with the local playing state. In response to the parameter in the comparison result being less than or equal to the threshold, it is considered that the deviation of the playing progress on the second electronic device at the transmitting end and the playing progress on the first electronic device at the receiving end is within a tolerable range. The comparison parties are basically synchronized, and the playing state is not adjusted. The playing state of the target video on the first electronic device at the receiving end is maintained. In response to the parameter in the comparison result being greater than the threshold, the deviation of the playing progress on the second electronic device at the transmitting end and the playing progress on the first electronic device at the receiving end is large, which may affect the live streaming experience. The comparison parties are not synchronized, and the playing state needs to be adjusted. The playing state of the first electronic device at the receiving end is updated.
