The second receiving unit 44 is configured to receive a target special effect file synchronized by the special effect producing end.



FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a method for synchronizing a special effect according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes steps 501 to 508 as follows.


In step 501, a special effect preview end transmits a synchronization request for synchronizing a special effect file to a special effect producing and.


In an actual application, the special effect preview end is provided with a special effect preview client. A user may preview the special effect by the special effect preview client. For example, the user triggers a special effect synchronization instruction by a special effect synchronization key displayed on the special effect preview end, to instruct the special effect preview end to transmit the synchronization request for synchronizing the special effect file to the special effect producing end. Alternatively, when the special effect preview client is started, the special effect preview end automatically transmits the synchronization request for synchronizing the special effect file to the special effect producing end.


In some embodiments, the synchronization request may be transmitted to a multicast group where the special effect producing end is located by the special effect preview end. The special effect preview end acquires a multicast address of the multicast group where the special effect producing end is located; and transmits the synchronization request for synchronizing the special effect file to the special effect producing end based on the multicast address of the multicast group.


In an actual application, the special effect preview end may adopt a mobile network or a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network. The special effect preview end may be located in a same local area network with the special effect producing end only when the special effect preview end adopts the Wi-Fi network. Therefore, before transmitting the synchronization request for synchronizing the special effect file, the special effect preview end needs to determine whether the special effect preview end adopts the Wi-Fi network. In a case that the special effect preview end adopts the Wi-Fi, the special effect preview end acquires the multicast address of the multicast group where the special effect producing end is located, and transmits the synchronization request to the multicast address. For example, the address of the multicast group where the special effect producing end is 234.6.6.6, the special effect preview end transmits the synchronization request to 234.6.6.6.


In some embodiments, the synchronization request may be transmitted in a form of a bluetooth connection signal.


In an actual implementation, the special effect preview end acquires a device which can be connected via Bluetooth by scanning. In a case that a special effect producing end exists in the device which can be connected via Bluetooth, the special effect producing end is selected. A bluetooth connection signal is transmitted to the special effect producing end, to request to establish Bluetooth connection with the special effect producing end.


In step 502, the special effect producing end receives the synchronization request for synchronizing the special effect file transmitted by the special effect preview end.


In some embodiments, when the special effect preview end transmits the synchronization request based on the multicast address of the multicast group where the special effect producing end is located, the special effect producing end receives the synchronization request for synchronizing the special effect file through a multicast group, in response to a special effect producing end being located in the multicast group presently.


In step 503, the special effect producing end establishes a communication link with the special effect preview end via direct connection in response to the synchronization request, if it is determined that a direct connection condition is satisfied.


In step 504, the special effect preview end establishes a communication link with the special effect producing end via direct connection based on a response that the special effect producing end determines that the direct connection condition is satisfied in response to the synchronization request.


In some embodiments, the special effect producing end establishes the communication link with the special effect preview end via direct connection in response to the synchronization request, if the special effect producing end is located in same local area network with the special effect preview end.


In an actual application, it is determined whether the special effect producing end and the special effect preview end are located in a same local area network by determining whether the special effect preview end and the special effect producing end are located in a same multicast group. In a case that the special effect preview end and the special effect producing end are located in the same multicast group, the special effect preview end transmits the synchronization request to the multicast address of the multicast group where the special effect producing end is located, and the special effect producing end can receive the synchronization request; otherwise, the special effect producing end cannot receive the synchronization request transmitted by the special effect preview end.


In some embodiments, in a case that the special effect producing end and the special effect preview end are located in the same local area network, the special effect producing end and the special effect preview end may establish a communication link via direct connection as follows. The special effect producing end displays a graphic code via a graphical interface. The graphic code includes an IP address of the special effect producing end. The special effect preview end scans the graphic code to obtain the IP address of the special effect preview end. The special effect preview end transmits a link establishing request to the IP address of the special effect producing end. The special effect producing end receives the link establishing request transmitted by the special effect preview end. The special effect producing end and the special effect preview end establish the communication link via direct connection.


In an actual application, the graphic code may be a two-dimensional code, Applet and so on. When the special effect producing end and the special effect preview end are located in the same local area network, the special effect producing end automatically triggers a two-dimensional code display instruction, and displays the two-dimensional code through the graphical display interface. The two-dimensional code includes the IP address of the special effect producing end. The user triggers a camera of the special effect preview end to start by clicking a two-dimensional code scanning key of the special effect preview end. The camera scans the two-dimensional code generated by the special effect producing end to obtain the IP address of the special effect producing end.


In some embodiments, the special effect producing end establishes the communication link with the special effect preview end via direct connection in response to the synchronization request transmitted in a form of a Bluetooth connection signal by the special effect preview end, if it is determined that the direct connection condition is satisfied.


In an actual implementation, the special effect preview end transmits the Bluetooth connection signal to the special effect producing end. The user selects to agree with connection by the special effect producing end. In response to the synchronization request transmitted by the special effect preview end, the special effect producing end establishes connection with the special effect preview end via Bluetooth.


In some embodiments, in response to the synchronization request, the special effect producing end synchronizes the target special effect file to a special effect development platform if it is determined that a direct connection condition is not satisfied. The special effect producing end displays a graphic code via a graphical interface. The graphic code includes a file identifier of the target special effect file. The special effect preview end scans the graphic code to obtain the file identifier, and acquires the target special effect file from the special effect development platform based on the obtained file identifier.


In some embodiments, in a case that the special effect producing end or the special end preview end fails to be connected with the special effect development platform, that is, the special effect producing end fails to upload the target special effect file to the special effect development platform or the special effect preview end fails to acquire the target special effect file from the special effect development platform, prompt information is displayed on the special effect producing end and/or the special effect preview end, to instruct the user to connect both the special effect producing end and the special effect preview and to the same local area network.


In step 505, the special effect preview end transmits the acquisition request for the target special effect file through the communication link.

In step 607, the special effect producing end receives the link establishing request transmitted by the special effect preview end, and establishes the communication link with the special effect preview end by direct connection.


In step 608, the special effect preview end transmits the acquisition request for the target special effect file to the special effect producing end by the communication link.


In an actual implementation, the acquisition request includes a file identifier of the target special effect file. The file identifier is obtained by scanning the two-dimensional code displayed on the special effect producing end by the special effect preview end.


In step 609, the special effect producing end analyzes the acquisition request to obtain the file identifier of the target special effect file.


In step 610, the special effect producing end synchronizes the target special effect file to the special effect preview end based on the file identifier.


In step 611, the special producing end synchronizes the target special effect file to a special effect development platform, and displays a two-dimensional code by a graphic interface. The two-dimensional code includes a file identifier of the target special effect file.
