Detailed Description

Various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, like reference numbers can indicate functionally identical or similar elements. While the various aspects of the embodiments are presented in drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated.

The word "exemplary" is used exclusively herein to mean "serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration. Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

Furthermore, in the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present disclosure. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without some of these specific details. In some instances, methods, means, elements and circuits that are well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present disclosure.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying bullet screen information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be applied to a terminal device, for example: cell-phone, panel computer, computer equipment. As shown in fig. 1, the method for displaying bullet screen information may include the following steps:

step 101, when a request for sending first bullet screen information is detected in a multimedia content playing process, acquiring a time point initiated by the request;

the multimedia content may be video or audio on demand. The time point of the request initiation may be a time point of the user issuing the bullet screen information in the process of viewing the multimedia content. For example, in the process of watching a video, a user inputs a bullet screen information in a bullet screen input box, and triggers a sending control at time 1 to release the input bullet screen information. And the terminal equipment responds to the triggering operation of the user on the sending control, detects that a request for sending the bullet screen information exists at present, and determines that the moment 1 is a time point for initiating the request.

102, if the time point of the request initiation is within the real-time bullet screen activity time period of the multimedia content, sending first bullet screen information to a server through a real-time bullet screen auditing channel, so that the server sends the first bullet screen information to a terminal device playing the multimedia content in real time;

the real-time barrage auditing channel is a channel used for sending barrage information aiming at the multimedia content in the real-time barrage activity period of the multimedia content, for example, the real-time barrage auditing channel can be realized by Socket or Websocket protocols and other related technologies, the real-time barrage auditing channel can be a channel with a special identifier, and the special identifier can be an identifier for identifying the real-time barrage information.

The real-time bullet screen activity of the multimedia content is the activity of completing an operation target in the form of real-time bullet screen information within a set activity time range, wherein the activity time range is the real-time bullet screen activity time period. For example, during the episode hot-play of a certain tv show, in order to promote the tv show, a lead actor of the tv show may interact with the audience watching the episode with real-name and real-time release barrage information in a time slot during the episode play of the tv show, where the time slot during the episode play is a real-time barrage activity time slot.

For example, after the server completes configuration of the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information of the multimedia content, the server may send the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information of the multimedia content to the terminal device requesting the multimedia content, so that the terminal device can obtain the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information of the multimedia content from the server, the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information may carry a real-time bullet screen activity period, and the terminal device may determine whether the time point of initiation of the request is within the real-time bullet screen activity period according to the time point of initiation of the request and the real-time bullet screen activity period.

After the terminal device obtains the time point of the request initiation, whether the time point of the request initiation is within the real-time bullet screen activity time period or not can be determined, if yes, the terminal device can collect first bullet screen information issued by a user, and the first bullet screen information is sent to a server through a real-time bullet screen auditing channel.

For example, when the user watches movie a, a bullet screen information (first bullet screen information) is distributed at 20 o 'clock 20 minutes, the time point of sending the request for the terminal device to acquire the bullet screen information is 20 o' clock 20 minutes, and the real-time bullet screen activity of movie a starts at 20 o 'clock and ends at 21 o' clock. And the terminal equipment determines that the time point of the request initiation is within the real-time bullet screen activity time period, and calls a real-time bullet screen auditing channel so as to send the bullet screen information to the server.

In one example, the first bullet screen information may include information such as a user identifier for publishing the first bullet screen information, the published bullet screen content, a playing progress of the multimedia content, current time information, bullet screen attributes (e.g., real-time bullet screen, on-demand bullet screen, etc.), and real-time bullet screen activity identifier information.

Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of a display method of bullet screen information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In a possible implementation manner, referring to fig. 2, the method may further include the following steps:

103, acquiring real-time bullet screen activity configuration information of the multimedia content; and the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information comprises the real-time bullet screen activity time interval.

The configuration information of the real-time bullet screen activity may be set by an operator through a background setting or the like, and may be related to the configuration information of the real-time bullet screen activity of the current multimedia content, for example, the configuration information of the real-time bullet screen activity may include: multimedia content identification, real-time bullet screen activity time interval, activity identification information and the like.

The terminal equipment can actively acquire the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information of the multimedia content. For example, the terminal device may send bullet screen activity request information to the server when the user requests a bullet screen service, where the bullet screen activity request information may include a multimedia content identifier, and after receiving the bullet screen activity request information, the server obtains corresponding real-time bullet screen activity configuration information when the multimedia content corresponding to the multimedia content identifier has real-time bullet screen activity, and sends the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information to the terminal device.

For example, when the user watches movie a, 20 minutes of bullet screen information is released, the time point of initiation of the request for the terminal device to acquire the bullet screen information is 20 minutes of 20 minutes, and the real-time bullet screen activity period is 20 to 21 minutes, so that the terminal device may determine that the time of initiation of the request is within the real-time bullet screen activity period. Fig. 3 shows a flowchart of a display method of bullet screen information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In one possible implementation manner, referring to fig. 3, the method may further include:

104, receiving second barrage information pushed by a server in real time;

the second bullet screen information is the bullet screen information pushed to the terminal device by the server, in one example, the server can directly push the bullet screen information to the terminal device playing the media content in real time after receiving the bullet screen information aiming at the multimedia content sent by a certain terminal device through the real-time bullet screen auditing channel, in another example, the terminal device can also request the bullet screen information to the server, and the server can push the real-time bullet screen information to the terminal device after receiving the request sent by the terminal device.

In an example, after receiving the second bullet screen information pushed by the server, the terminal device may display the second bullet screen information on a display interface in real time. For example, at time 1, terminal device 1 and terminal device 2 are watching the same multimedia content, the playing schedule of terminal device 1 is 20 minutes, and the playing schedule of terminal device 2 is 36 minutes. The server pushes the bullet screen information received from the real-time bullet screen auditing channel to the terminal equipment 1 and the terminal equipment 2 at the moment, and after the terminal equipment 1 and the terminal equipment 2 receive the bullet screen information, the real-time bullet screen information can be displayed on the display interface.

It should be noted that, the step 104 may be executed before the step 101 to the step 102, may be executed after the step 101 to the step 102, and may also be executed concurrently with the step 101 to the step 102, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

The terminal device may display the barrage information sent by the user in real time on the display interface, or may display the barrage information associated with the multimedia content playing progress while displaying the barrage information sent by the user in real time.

Step 105, sending bullet screen request information to the server, wherein the bullet screen request information comprises the playing progress information of the multimedia content;

and 106, receiving third bullet screen information from the server, wherein the third bullet screen information is bullet screen information which is returned by the server in response to the bullet screen request information and corresponds to the playing progress information of the multimedia content.

The terminal device may send bullet screen request information to the server, where the bullet screen request information may include playing progress information of the multimedia content, so as to request bullet screen information associated with the playing progress information of the multimedia content from the server. After receiving the bullet screen request information, the server may obtain third bullet screen information associated with the play progress information of the multimedia content, and send the third bullet screen information to the terminal device, where the third bullet screen information may include historical bullet screen information related to the play progress information of the multimedia content stored by the server, and may also include real-time bullet screen information related to the play progress information of the multimedia content.

And 107, displaying the second bullet screen information and the third bullet screen information on a display interface according to a display rule.

And after receiving the third bullet screen information, the terminal equipment can display the second bullet screen information and the third bullet screen information on the display interface according to the display rule. For example, the display rule may be that when the number of the second bullet screen information is smaller than the maximum number of the bullet screen data that can be displayed on the display interface of the terminal device, part of the third bullet screen information is acquired from the third bullet screen data, so that the total number of the second bullet screen information and the acquired part of the third bullet screen information reaches the maximum number of the bullet screen data that can be displayed on the display interface of the terminal device;

or, the terminal device may display the second bullet screen information and the third bullet screen information according to a preset ratio. For example, the number of the bullet screen data that can be displayed on the display interface of the terminal device at most is N, and the preset ratio is 4:1, then the terminal device may obtain N × 0.8 pieces of second bullet screen information, and obtain N × 0.2 pieces of third bullet screen information.

For example, at time 1, terminal device 1 and terminal device 2 are watching the same multimedia content, the playing schedule of terminal device 1 is 20 minutes, and the playing schedule of terminal device 2 is 36 minutes. The server pushes the second bullet screen information received from the real-time bullet screen auditing channel to the terminal device 1 and the terminal device 2, and meanwhile, the terminal device 1 receives third bullet screen information 1 from the server, wherein the third bullet screen information 1 is bullet screen information associated with the playing progress of the current multimedia content for 20 minutes. The terminal device 2 receives the third barrage information 2 from the server, wherein the third barrage information 2 is barrage information associated with the play progress of the current multimedia content of 36 minutes. The terminal device 1 may display a part of the third bullet screen information 1 while displaying the second bullet screen information, and the terminal device 2 may display a part of the third bullet screen information 2 while displaying the second bullet screen information.

Therefore, the method for displaying the bullet screen information provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can enrich the bullet screen information displayed by the terminal device and enrich the display mode of the bullet screen information while improving the real-time performance of the bullet screen information.

Fig. 4 shows a flowchart of a display method of bullet screen information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In a possible implementation manner, referring to fig. 4, the method may further include the following steps:

step 108, when detecting that second bullet screen information is triggered, determining an alignment time point according to the second bullet screen information;

for example, the user may trigger the second barrage information displayed on the display interface by clicking or other operations, and the terminal device may determine, in response to the trigger operation, an alignment time point according to the second barrage information, where the alignment time point is play progress information of the multimedia content viewed by the user who issued the second barrage information.

For example, the second barrage information may include playing progress information corresponding to the multimedia content (for example, when the terminal device that sends the second barrage information to the server sends the second barrage information, the second barrage information carries the playing progress information corresponding to the multimedia), and the terminal device may determine that the progress information is the alignment time point.

In an example, the terminal device may determine, in response to the trigger operation, a user corresponding to the second barrage information, and determine, when the user is a first user, an alignment time point according to the second barrage information, where the first user may be a guest user associated with a real-time barrage activity of the multimedia content, for example, an actor, an author, and the like in the multimedia content. In this embodiment, the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information may further include a first user.

And step 109, sending a request for aligning the viewing progress to the server according to the aligned time point, so that the server returns the aligned time point and the subsequent multimedia content.

The terminal device may send a request for aligning the viewing progress to the server, where the request for aligning the viewing progress may carry the alignment time point. And after receiving the request for aligning the viewing progress, the server acquires the aligned time point and the multimedia content after the aligned time point and sends the aligned time point and the multimedia content to the terminal equipment, so that the multimedia content played by the terminal equipment is consistent with the playing progress of the user when the user issues the second bullet screen information.

For example, when the terminal device displays the second bullet screen information, if the user corresponding to the second bullet screen information is the first user, the terminal device may display the bullet screen content and the first user identifier (for example, the nickname of the first user) corresponding to the second bullet screen information on the display interface. When a user watches multimedia content, the user can visually see that the bullet screen information displayed on the display interface of the terminal equipment comprises the second bullet screen information issued by the first user.

For example: when the playing progress is 40 minutes, the first user issues a second barrage message, and the watching progress of the user A is 20 minutes. The server pushes the second bullet screen information sent by the first user to the terminal equipment of the user A in real time, and the second bullet screen information (including the identification of the first user) is displayed on the terminal equipment of the user A. If the user a wants to synchronize with the playing progress of the first user or acquire the multimedia content corresponding to the bullet screen information, the second bullet screen information may be triggered by clicking or the like, and the terminal device may determine the playing progress corresponding to the second bullet screen information: 40 minutes, and determining the playing progress of 40 minutes as an alignment time point. The terminal equipment sends a request for aligning the watching progress to the server, wherein the request for aligning the watching progress carries an aligning time point: for 40 minutes. And after receiving the request for aligning the viewing progress, the server acquires the content corresponding to the multimedia content for 40 minutes and then sends the content to the terminal equipment of the user A, so that the playing progress of the terminal equipment of the user A is consistent with the playing progress of the first user when the first user issues the second bullet screen information.

Therefore, the terminal equipment can respond to the triggering of the user on the second bullet screen information, and the multimedia content corresponding to the second bullet screen information is obtained and displayed from the server, so that the playing progress of the terminal equipment is consistent with the playing progress issued during the second bullet screen information, and the interaction between the users can be improved.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a display method of bullet screen information, which may be applied to a server, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 5, the method may include the following steps:

501, receiving first bullet screen information from terminal equipment through a real-time bullet screen auditing channel;

the real-time bullet screen auditing channel is used for sending bullet screen information aiming at the multimedia content in the real-time bullet screen activity time period of the multimedia content.

The first barrage information may be real-time barrage information for the multimedia content. For example, when detecting a request for sending the first barrage information, if it is determined that the request time is within a real-time barrage activity period of the multimedia content, the terminal device may send the first barrage information to the server through the real-time barrage audit channel.

Step 502, sending the first barrage information to a terminal device playing the multimedia content.

For example, after receiving the first barrage information, the server may determine a terminal device currently playing the multimedia content, and push the first barrage information to the terminal device. After all the terminal devices receive the first bullet screen information, the first bullet screen information can be displayed in real time.

Therefore, the server can push the first bullet screen information received through the real-time bullet screen auditing channel to the terminal equipment for watching the current multimedia content in real time, and can release the association relation between the first bullet screen information and the multimedia content playing progress, so that the terminal equipment for playing the same multimedia content which initiates the real-time bullet screen activity can display the bullet screen information published by the user in real time no matter how the multimedia content playing progress is. According to the method for displaying the bullet screen information, provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the real-time performance of the bullet screen information can be improved, and the interaction between users can be further improved.

Fig. 6 shows a flowchart of a display method of bullet screen information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In a possible implementation manner, referring to fig. 6, the method may further include the following steps:

step 503, receiving real-time bullet screen activity request information from the terminal equipment;

step 504, responding to the real-time bullet screen activity request information, and acquiring corresponding real-time bullet screen activity configuration information;

and 505, sending the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information to the terminal equipment, wherein the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information comprises the real-time bullet screen activity time period.

For example, when a user requests a real-time bullet screen service, the terminal device may send real-time bullet screen activity request information to the server, where the real-time bullet screen activity request information may include a multimedia content identifier. After receiving the real-time bullet screen activity request information, the server can acquire corresponding real-time bullet screen activity configuration information when the multimedia content corresponding to the multimedia content identifier has real-time bullet screen activity, and send the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device can display bullet screen information according to the real-time bullet screen activity configuration information.

The configuration information of the real-time bullet screen activity may be set by an operator through a background setting or the like, and is related to the configuration information of the real-time bullet screen activity of the current multimedia content, for example, the configuration information of the real-time bullet screen activity may include: multimedia content identification, real-time bullet screen activity time interval, activity identification information, guest user information and the like.

Fig. 7 shows a flowchart of a display method of bullet screen information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 7, the method may further include:

step 506, receiving a request for aligning the viewing progress from the terminal device, wherein the request for aligning the viewing progress comprises an aligning time point;

for example, after the server sends the first barrage information to the terminal device, the user may trigger the first barrage information by clicking or other operations, so as to determine an alignment time point according to the first barrage information.

Actually, the first barrage information may be real-time barrage information issued by all users, and the user may trigger the first barrage information to align the terminal device with the playing progress of the multimedia content when the first barrage information is issued; the first barrage information can also be barrage information issued by a guest user, and the terminal device can send an alignment viewing request to the server only when the user triggers the barrage information issued by the guest user, so as to align the playing progress of the multimedia content when the first barrage information is issued.

For example, the first barrage information may include playing progress information corresponding to the multimedia content (for example, the playing progress information corresponding to the multimedia content when the first barrage information is issued is carried in the first barrage information), and the terminal device may determine that the playing progress information is an alignment time point.

And step 507, sending the aligned time point and the subsequent multimedia content to the terminal equipment.

And after receiving the request for aligning the viewing progress, the server acquires the multimedia content at the aligned time point and then sends the multimedia content to the terminal equipment, so that the multimedia content played by the terminal equipment is consistent with the playing progress of the terminal equipment issuing the first barrage information.

For example, when the playing progress is 40 minutes, the user B issues a bullet screen message, and the viewing progress of the user a is 20 minutes. The server pushes the bullet screen information sent by the user B to the terminal equipment of the user A in real time, and the bullet screen information is displayed on the terminal equipment of the user A. If the user a wants to synchronize with the playing progress of the user B or acquire the multimedia content corresponding to the bullet screen information, the bullet screen information may be triggered by clicking or the like, and the terminal device may determine the playing progress corresponding to the bullet screen information: 40 minutes and determine the above play-in, 40 minutes being the alignment time point. The terminal equipment sends a request for aligning the watching progress to the server, wherein the request for aligning the watching progress carries an aligning time point: for 40 minutes. And after receiving the request for aligning the viewing progress, the server acquires the content corresponding to the multimedia content for 40 minutes and then sends the content to the terminal equipment of the user A, so that the playing progress of the terminal equipment of the user A is consistent with the playing progress of the user B when the bullet screen information is issued.
