The implementation manners described in the following some arrangements do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

In the traditional live streaming MicLink PK room, when the audience is watching a PK live streaming picture, the audience cannot control the live streaming interface. As a result, the audience can only watch the live streaming interface presented on the platform, which consumes more computing performance and is more likely to cause stucking and heating.

Furthermore, in the traditional live streaming MicLink PK room, it is not possible for the audience only watch the anchor that he/she supports and not to watch the anchor supported by the counterpart. As a result, the audience cannot obtain a pure viewing experience, which indirectly affects the audience's desire to spend on gifts. Therefore, technical solutions are adopted in the arrangements of the present application to improve the viewing experience of the audience in the PK live streaming room and increase the revenue of the anchor/live streaming platform.

The existing PK live streaming scheme is that two anchors respectively mix his/her own streaming and the other's streaming into one streaming, and send the one streaming to the audience via a content delivery network (CDN). Therefore, what the audience watched is a mixed streaming picture, because the streaming watched by the audience is an already mixed stream, it is impossible to shield pictures and sound coming from the counterpart. The above-mentioned existing technical solutions not only affect the viewing experience of the audience-side in the PK live streaming room, but also consume more computing performance by the mixed streaming at the anchor-side, thus it is more likely to cause stalls, heating, etc. In order to solve the above-mentioned existing technologies problem, the present disclosure provides a method for controlling display of multimedia data.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a method for controlling display of multimedia data according to some arrangements. The method for controlling display of multimedia data is applied to an audience client-side. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for controlling display of multimedia data includes following:

receiving (S11) a plurality of multimedia data streams distributed by a server-side, wherein the plurality of multimedia data streams are data streams respectively provided by a plurality of anchor client-sides;

playing (S12) the plurality of multimedia data streams in a plurality of display areas of a graphical user interface, respectively, wherein, in a default display mode, each of the plurality of display areas is a preset ratio display area in the graphical user interface;

selecting (S13) a target multimedia data stream from the plurality of multimedia data streams, wherein the target multimedia data stream comprises one or more multimedia data streams;

based on the target multimedia data stream, adjusting (S14) the default display mode to a target display mode.

In the arrangements of the present disclosure, by using the above-mentioned method that receiving the plurality of multimedia data streams distributed by the server-side, wherein the plurality of multimedia data streams are data streams respectively provided by a plurality of clients; playing the plurality of multimedia data streams in a plurality of display areas of a graphical user interface, respectively, wherein, in the default display mode, each of the above-mentioned plurality of display areas is a preset ratio display area in the graphical user interface; selecting a target multimedia data stream from the above-mentioned plurality of multimedia data streams, wherein the target multimedia data stream comprises one or more multimedia data streams; adjusting the above-mentioned default display mode to the target display mode based on the above-mentioned target multimedia data stream, the purpose of controlling the display of live streaming picture on the audience-side can be achieved, thereby improving experience feeling of the audiences in the live streaming MicLink PK room, and further solving the technical problems that the traditional live streaming MicLink PK room adopts a live streaming method of mixing the view streaming, which makes the audience cannot control the display of the live streaming picture.

In the arrangement of the present disclosure, the execution body of the foregoing method for controlling display of multimedia data is a client-side, for example, any kind of live streaming client-side or an audience client-side. The foregoing server-side may distribute a first multimedia data stream and a second multimedia data stream to the audience client-side through the content distribution network (CDN).

In some arrangements, the plurality of anchor client-sides are multiple identical or different anchor client-sides. Taking the plurality of anchor client-sides are N (N≥3) anchor client-sides as an example, the corresponding multimedia data streams are N (N≥3). For example, the first multimedia data stream among the N multimedia data streams is a data stream pushed by a first anchor client-side to the server-side. The second multimedia data stream among the N multimedia data streams is a data stream pushed by a second anchor client-side to the server-side. The third multimedia data stream among the N multimedia data streams is a data stream pushed by a third anchor client-side to the server-side, and so on.

In the arrangement of the present application, the live streaming audience client-side respectively plays the plurality of multimedia data streams in multiple display areas of the graphical user interface (for example, a live streaming PK interface). In some arrangements, in the default display mode, each of the multiple display areas is the preset ratio display area in the graphical user interface. For example, the multiple display areas may be all equal display areas or non-equal display areas.
