As shown in fig. 1, the processing flow of the method may include the following steps:

step 101, determining a first song to be sung corresponding to a target live broadcast room, and determining at least one anchor account in the target live broadcast room.

the target live broadcast room is any live broadcast room, a plurality of anchor broadcasters are arranged in the target live broadcast room, and the anchor broadcasters carry out live broadcast in a wheat grabbing mode. The anchor account refers to an account used by the anchor, as distinguished from the account of the viewer.

In implementation, a plurality of anchor broadcasters of the target live broadcasting room can install live broadcasting application programs on terminals of the anchor broadcasters, use accounts of the anchor broadcasters to log in the live broadcasting application programs and enter the target live broadcasting room, and therefore the anchor broadcasters can carry out live broadcasting in the target live broadcasting room.

the server stores a large number of songs, and when the target live broadcast room is played, the server can randomly determine a first song to be sung corresponding to the target live broadcast room from the large number of songs, and determine at least one account marked as a main broadcast in the target live broadcast room, which can be referred to as at least one main broadcast account subsequently.

optionally, the at least one anchor account may also be an anchor account in the target live broadcast room, where the level is higher than the preset level. For example, a primary account ranked above 5.

And 102, sending a singing robbing notice and song information of the first song to a login terminal of at least one anchor account.

in implementation, after determining the first song and the at least one anchor account, the server may obtain song information of the first song, where the song information includes a name of the song, and then determine a login terminal of each anchor account in the at least one anchor account, and send a sing robbery notification and the song information of the first song to the determined login terminals, respectively.

as shown in fig. 2, after receiving the rap notification and the song information of the first song, the login terminal of any one of the at least one anchor account may display the rap notification and the song information of the first song, and display the "rap" option, the "cancel" option, and the like, and the name of the first song corresponding to the rap notification. If a certain anchor wants to sing a first song in a live broadcast manner, the 'robbery' option can be clicked, and a terminal used by the anchor receives a click instruction of the 'robbery' option and sends a robbery request to a server.

Optionally, the song information of the first song may further include accompaniment audio data, and after the login terminal of any anchor account in the at least one anchor account receives the robbing notice and the song information of the first song, the login terminal may further play the accompaniment audio data, so that the anchor can determine whether the anchor can sing the first song.

optionally, the song information of the first song may further include lyric information, and after the login terminal of any anchor account in the at least one anchor account receives the sing notification and the song information of the first song, the login terminal may further display the lyric information, so that the anchor can determine whether the anchor can sing the first song.

optionally, as shown in fig. 3, after the login terminal of any anchor account in the at least one anchor account receives the rap notification and the song information of the first song, a countdown (e.g., 15 seconds) is also displayed when the rap notification is displayed, and the anchor needs to select whether to sing the first song in a live broadcast within the countdown.

optionally, after the server sends the sing-robbing notification and the song information of the first song to the login terminal of the at least one anchor account, the song information of the first song may also be sent to the login terminals of accounts other than the at least one anchor account in the target live broadcast room, so that the audience can know the song to be live broadcast in time.

103, when a request for singing robbed by a login terminal of a first anchor account in at least one anchor account is received, if the request for singing robbed by the login terminal of other anchor accounts except the first anchor account in the at least one anchor account has not been received, sending a notification of successful singing robbed to the login terminal of the first anchor account.

The first anchor account is any one of the at least one anchor account.

in implementation, the server receives a singing robbing request sent by a login terminal of a first anchor account, then determines other anchor accounts except the first anchor account in at least one anchor account, then judges whether the singing robbing requests sent by the login terminals of the other anchor accounts are received, if the singing robbing requests sent by the other anchor accounts are not received, determines that the singing robbing of the first anchor account is successful, and can send a singing robbing success notification to the login terminal of the first anchor account.

and the login terminal of the first anchor account receives the singing robbing success notification sent by the server, then displays the singing robbing success notification and correspondingly displays countdown. When the countdown is finished, the login terminal of the first anchor account can play accompaniment audio data of the first song, the anchor used by the first anchor account can start singing the first song, the login terminal of the first anchor account can use a microphone to collect audio data and use a camera to collect video data, the audio data and the video data can be called as first audio and video data together, and then the first audio data is sent to the server.

Optionally, if the song information of the first song includes the accompaniment audio data, when the notification of successful robbing is sent, the accompaniment audio data of the first song does not need to be carried, and if the song information of the first song does not include the accompaniment audio data, when the notification of successful robbing is sent, the accompaniment audio data of the first song needs to be carried.

optionally, it is also necessary to determine the time for receiving the sing-robbing request, and the corresponding processing of step 103 may be as follows:

When a singing robbing request sent by a login terminal of a first anchor account in at least one anchor account is received within a preset time length after a singing robbing notification and song information of a first song are sent to the login terminal of the at least one anchor account, if the singing robbing request sent by the login terminals of other anchor accounts except the first anchor account in the at least one anchor account is not received, a singing robbing success notification is sent to the login terminal of the first anchor account.

wherein the preset time can be preset by a technician and stored in the server,

In implementation, when the server sends a singing robbing notification and song information of a first song to a login terminal of at least one anchor account, a sending time point can be recorded, timing is started from the sending time point, if the time point of the singing robbing request sent by the login terminal of the first anchor account is not longer than a preset time length from the sending time point, whether the singing robbing requests sent by the login terminals of other anchor accounts are received or not can be judged, if the singing robbing requests sent by other anchor accounts are not received, the success of singing robbing of the first anchor account is determined, and a singing robbing success notification can be sent to the login terminal of the first anchor account.

And 104, receiving first audio and video data sent by a login terminal of the first anchor account.

And 105, sending first audio and video data to a login terminal of each account in the target live broadcast room.

in implementation, after receiving first audio and video data sent by a login terminal of a first anchor account, a server can determine each account (including an audience account of the anchor account) of a target live broadcast room and send the first audio and video data to the login terminal of each account in the target live broadcast room.

The login terminal of each account can receive first audio and video data sent by the server, the first audio and video data are played on a live interface, and gift identification, a chat window and the like are displayed on the live interface, and the first audio and video data are the same as those on a common live interface.

optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, a method for a user to vote to determine whether a anchor sings continuously is further provided, and corresponding processing may be as follows:

the method comprises the steps of receiving anti-requests sent by login terminals of all accounts, stopping receiving first audio and video data when the number of the received anti-requests reaches a first numerical value, determining a second song to be sung corresponding to a target live broadcast room, sending a singing robbing notification and song information of the second song to the login terminals of other anchor accounts, sending a singing robbing success notification to the login terminal of the second anchor account if the singing robbing requests sent by the login terminals of the anchor accounts except the second anchor account in the other anchor accounts are not received, receiving second audio and video data sent by the login terminal of the second anchor account, and sending the second audio and video data to the login terminals of all accounts in the target live broadcast room.

the first value may be preset by a technician and stored in the server, and may be one value, for example, the first value is 2000, or may be calculated based on the number of the current account in the target live broadcast room, for example, the number of the current account in the target live broadcast room is 5 ten thousand, and the first value is 5 ten thousand times ten percent, that is, the first value is 5000.

in implementation, as shown in fig. 4, when the login terminal of each account in the target live broadcast room plays the first audio/video data, a voting interface is also displayed in the live broadcast interface, and the voting interface has an "objection" option and a "support" option. For a user using any account in the accounts, if the user likes the anchor to sing the first song, the user can click the support option, and the terminal used by the user receives a click command of the support option and sends a support request to the server. If the user dislikes the anchor singing the first song, the user can click on the 'objection' option, and the terminal used by the user receives a click command of the 'objection' option and sends an objection request to the server.

during singing of the first song, the server adds 1 to the number of the anti-requests each time the anti-requests are received, and when the number of the anti-requests is detected to reach a first value, the server can send a singing stopping notification to the login terminal of the first anchor account and does not receive the first audio and video data any more.

The server can then randomly determine a second song to be sung again from the large number of songs, then determine other anchor accounts except the first anchor account in the at least one anchor account, and send the singing robbing notification and the song information of the second song to the other anchor accounts.

After the login terminal of any one of the other anchor accounts receives the singing robbing notification and the song information of the second song, the singing robbing notification and the song information of the second song can be displayed, and a 'robbing' option, a 'canceling' option and the like and the name of the second song are displayed corresponding to the singing robbing notification. If a certain anchor wants to sing a second song in a live broadcast manner, the 'robbing' option can be clicked, and the terminal used by the anchor receives a click instruction of the 'robbing' option and sends a robbing request to the server.

the server receives the singing grabbing request sent by the login terminal of the second anchor account, then determines other anchor accounts except the second anchor account in the other anchor accounts, then judges whether the singing grabbing request sent by the login terminal of the other anchor accounts is received, if the singing grabbing request sent by the other anchor accounts is not received, determines that the singing grabbing of the second anchor account is successful, and can send a singing grabbing success notification to the login terminal of the second anchor account.

and the login terminal of the second anchor account receives the singing robbing success notification sent by the server, then displays the singing robbing success notification and correspondingly displays countdown. When the countdown is finished, the login terminal of the second anchor account can play accompaniment audio data of a second song, the anchor account using the second anchor account can start singing the second song, the login terminal of the second anchor account can use a microphone to collect audio data and use a camera to collect video data, the audio data and the video data can be called second audio and video data together, and then the second audio data is sent to the server.

after receiving second audio and video data sent by the login terminal of the second anchor account, the server can determine each account (including the audience account of the anchor account) of the target live broadcast room and send the second audio and video data to the login terminal of each account in the target live broadcast room.

The login terminal of each account can receive second audio and video data sent by the server, the second audio and video data are played on a live interface, and gift identification, a chat window and the like are displayed on the live interface, and the second audio and video data are the same as those of a common live interface.

Optionally, the song information of the second song may further include accompaniment audio data, and after the login terminal of any anchor account in the other anchor accounts receives the robbing notice and the song information of the second song, the login terminal may further play the accompaniment audio data, so that the anchor can determine whether to sing the second song.

Optionally, the song information of the second song may further include lyric information, and after the login terminal of any one of the other anchor accounts receives the robbing notice and the song information of the second song, the login terminal may further display the lyric information, so that the anchor can determine whether the anchor can sing the second song.

optionally, after the login terminal of any one of the other anchor accounts receives the rap notification and the song information of the second song, a countdown (e.g., 15 seconds) is also displayed when the rap notification is displayed, and the anchor needs to select whether to sing the second song in a live broadcast within the countdown.

optionally, if the song information of the second song includes the accompaniment audio data, when the notification of successful robbing is sent, the accompaniment audio data of the second song does not need to be carried, and if the song information of the second song does not include the accompaniment audio data, when the notification of successful robbing is sent, the accompaniment audio data of the second song needs to be carried.

Optionally, the voting interface may be displayed after the server sends the voting notification.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, processing that the number of the support requests exceeds the second value is further provided, and the corresponding processing may be as follows:

receiving a support request sent by a login terminal of each account, when the accompaniment audio data of a first song is determined to be played to be finished, if the number of the received support requests is determined to exceed a second numerical value, determining a third song to be sung corresponding to a target live broadcasting room, sending a singing inquiry notice and song information of the third song to the login terminal of the first main broadcasting account, if a continuous singing request sent by the login terminal of the first main broadcasting account is received, sending a singing starting notice to the login terminal of the first main broadcasting account, continuously receiving first audio and video data sent by the login terminal of the first main broadcasting account, and sending the first audio and video data to the login terminal of each account in the target live broadcasting room.

The second value may be preset by a technician and stored in the server, and may be one value, for example, the second value is twenty thousand, or may be calculated based on the number of the current account in the target live broadcast room, for example, the number of the current account in the target live broadcast room is 5 ten thousand, and the second value is 5 ten thousand times eighty percent, that is, the second value is 40000.

In implementation, when the login terminal of each account in the target live broadcast room plays the first audio and video data, a "objection" option and a "support" option are also displayed in the live broadcast interface. For a user using any account in the accounts, if the user likes the anchor to sing the first song, the user can click the support option, and the terminal used by the user receives a click command of the support option and sends a support request to the server. If the user dislikes the anchor singing the first song, the user can click on the 'objection' option, and the terminal used by the user receives a click command of the 'objection' option and sends an objection request to the server.

During the first song sung, the server adds 1 to the number of support requests each time it receives a support request. After the general server sends the notification of successful singing robbing to the login terminal of the first anchor account, the server and the login terminal of the first anchor account can simultaneously record a countdown to determine the starting playing time point of the accompaniment audio data of the first song.

upon determining that the playing of the accompaniment audio data of the first song is finished, the number of received support requests may be acquired, and if the number exceeds a second value, the server may randomly determine a third song from among a large number of songs. And sending a singing inquiry notice and song information of the third song to the login terminal of the first anchor account.

As shown in fig. 5, after receiving the singing inquiry notification, the login terminal of the first anchor account may display the singing inquiry notification, and correspondingly display a "continue" option and an "end" option, if the anchor using the first anchor account wants to continue singing a third song, the "continue" option may be clicked, the login terminal of the first anchor account may receive a click instruction of the "continue" option, and then send a request for continuing singing to the server, the server may send a notification for starting singing to the login terminal of the first anchor account after receiving the request for continuing singing sent by the login terminal of the first anchor account, the login terminal of the first anchor account may display a countdown after receiving the notification for starting singing, when the countdown ends, the login terminal of the first anchor account may play audio data of the third dance, the anchor using the first anchor account may sing a third song, the login terminal of the first anchor account can use a microphone to collect audio data, use a camera to collect video data, and the audio data and the video data can be called as first audio/video data, and then send the first audio data to the server. It should be noted that, although the first audio-video data is also used here, the data content of the first audio-video data is different from that of the first audio-video data in step 105.

After receiving the first audio and video data sent by the login terminal of the first anchor account, the server can determine each account (including the audience account of the anchor account) of the target live broadcast room and send the first audio and video data to the login terminal of each account in the target live broadcast room.
