Implementation of this embodiment of the present invention are mainly divided into three stages:
The first stage: a base sequence number is generated according to live transmission, which specifically includes the following steps:
1. A video acquiring device acquires a live voice and video data in real time.
2. A live voice stream is segmented into a data slice and a global base sequence number is generated.
3. A video sequence number of a live video stream is generated according to the BaseSequence, where a generation rule may be a correlation 2-tuple sequence as follows:
<VideoSequence.idx, BaseSequence.idx> . . . ;
4. The voice and the video that carry a BaseSequence and a VideoSequence, and a correlation relationship are uploaded to a background server live, and then, pushed to all users, including common audiences and remote commentaries.
The second stage: generation of a voice sequence number of a remote commentary specifically includes the following steps:
1. A remote commentator sees a video image and gives a synchronous commentary on the video image; and a commentary terminal acquires a voice.
2. On a side of the commentary terminal, a voice sequence number of a commentary voice and a video sequence number of a video are also be generated by relying on the BaseSequence, where the generation rule may be a correlation 2-tuple sequence as follows:
<CommentVoiceSequence.idx, BaseSequence.idx> . . .
<CommentVideoSequence.idx, BaseSequence.idx> . . . ;
3. The commentary terminal uploads the CommentVoiceSequence, the CommentVideoSequence, and correlation 2-tuples of the BaseSequence to the background server, and then, the CommentVoiceSequence, the CommentVideoSequence, and correlation 2-tuples of the BaseSequence are pushed to all users by the background server.
The third stage: a commentary synchronization strategy for a user to watch a live transmission video specifically includes the following steps:
1. Referring to
In
2. Playback depends on a relationship of a projected 2-tuple.
<CommentVoiceSequence.idx, BaseSequence.idx> . . .
<CommentVideoSequence.idx, BaseSequence.idx> . . . ;
If at a point of the BaseSequence.idx, for example, on a time point T2 in the above figure, it is detected that there are a commentary voice and a commentary video by following a correlation relationship, the commentary is played.
3. There are multiple commentaries, and the processing rules are consistent.
4. Multiple commentaries are switched, for example, a commentary A is switched to a commentary B, which is also processed according to the rule; and if there is no a switching concept, a commentary playback stream A is stopped, a commentary playback stream B is received, and when the commentary playback stream B matches the BaseSequence.idx, the commentary B starts to be played.
According to the above implementation manner, a synchronization problem of a multiple-place commentary in a live transmission video is simplified. Moreover, by using a normalized processing manner, there is no correlation relationship between each anchor switch, so that service fluency and code simplicity are ensured, and at the same time, second-time buffer and pause do not occur during playback of a video.
