Detailed Description

In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme provided by the invention has the following general idea:

The technical solutions of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments and examples of the present invention are described in detail in the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited to the technical solutions of the present application, and the technical features in the embodiments and examples of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.

The term "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B, may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The invention provides a method for displaying the special effect of a virtual gift. In order to introduce a method of displaying a special effect of a virtual gift, a network architecture to which the method can be applied will be first introduced. Please refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a possible network architecture according to the present invention.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, in the webcast, there may be one or more anchor devices (only one is shown in fig. 1), and the anchor device shown in fig. 1 is described later, and the method performed by the rest of the anchor devices is similar. There may be zero, one, or more viewer-side devices. The anchor terminal equipment and the audience terminal equipment are both accessed to the server through the network. For convenience of description, it is assumed that one or more audience devices accessing the server receive the video stream transmitted by the main broadcast device in fig. 1, in other words, one or more audiences watch live broadcasts of the same main broadcast at the one or more audience devices.

Each viewer may purchase a virtual gift through their viewer-side device and gift the purchased virtual gift to the anchor. In the related art, the server notifies the host device according to the type and amount of virtual gifts actually presented by the viewers. Under normal conditions, the anchor terminal equipment calls and runs a special effect rendering function corresponding to the virtual gift type actually given by the audience to render the special effect of the virtual gift according to the notification of the server, and the calling times are consistent with the number of the virtual gifts given by the audience.

Next, a method of displaying a special effect of a virtual gift on the side of the host apparatus will be described first. Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift on a host device side is shown. The method comprises the following steps:

s101: receiving a virtual gift message sent by a server accessed by the anchor terminal equipment;

s102: reading out the encrypted target special effect rendering function based on the identification of the target virtual gift;

s103: decrypting the encrypted target special effect rendering function by using the target key to obtain the target special effect rendering function;

s104: running the target special effect rendering function to render the special effect of the target virtual gift;

s105: encoding the special effect of the target virtual gift and the live video collected by the main broadcasting end equipment into a video stream;

s106: and sending the video stream to the server.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the anchor device stores N encrypted special effect rendering functions. N is a positive integer, such as 1, 3, or 10, etc., and the present invention is not particularly limited. The number of encrypted special effect rendering functions stored by the anchor device is consistent with the number of virtual gifts with special effects provided by the server. The server sets a unique identifier for each virtual gift in advance and synchronizes the identifier of each virtual gift to the host device. And the anchor terminal equipment correspondingly stores each encrypted special effect rendering function according to the identification of the virtual gift. And then the rendered virtual gift special effect and the live video collected by the main broadcasting end equipment are encoded into video streams and sent to the server. The server sends the video stream to all the audience equipment watching the main broadcast live broadcast, and all the audiences can watch the special effect of the virtual gift and the live broadcast video on the audience equipment.

For example, the server provides 3 special virtual gifts, specifically named roses, lilies and tulips. Roses (roses) are identified as 1, lilies (lily) are identified as 2, tulips (tulip) are identified as 3. The special effect rendering function of Roses (Roses) is Roses _ Resuloce, and the encrypted Roses _ Resuloce is Roses _ Resuloce; the special effect rendering function of Lily (Lily) is Lily _ Resuoce, and the encrypted Lily _ Resuoce is Lily _ Resuoce; the special effect rendering function of Tulip (Tulip) is Tulip _ Resuoce, and encrypted Tulip _ Resuoce is Tulip _ Resuoce. And the anchor terminal equipment correspondingly stores each special effect rendering function according to the identification of each virtual gift. The method can be specifically realized by the following codes:

map [1] ═ Roses _ Resuloce; // store Roses _ Resucoce using Map container

Map [2] ═ Lily _ Resuoce; // store Lily _ Resucoce using Map container

Map [3] ═ Tulip _ Resuoce; // store Tulip _ Resuoce using Map container

In order to avoid that the anchor terminal device randomly calls the special effect rendering function and further falsely renders the virtual gift, the embodiment of the invention stores N secret keys for decrypting the special effect rendering function in the server. Specifically, the server also stores N keys in correspondence with the identification of the virtual gift. In the above example, the Key for decrypting Roses _ Resucoce is Key1, the Key for decrypting Lily _ Resucoce is Key2, and the Key for decrypting Tulip _ Resucoc is Key 3. And the server correspondingly stores each key according to the identification of each virtual gift. The method can be specifically realized by the following codes:

map [1] ═ Key 1; v. use of Map Container store Key1

Map [2] ═ Key 2; v. use of Map Container store Key2

Map [3] ═ Key 3; v. use of Map Container store Key3

In a specific implementation process, the N keys may be the same, and preferably, the N keys are not identical.

The viewer purchases the virtual gift on the viewer-side device according to the virtual gift list provided by the server, and gifts the purchased virtual gift to the anchor. The embodiment of the invention refers to the virtual gift given to the main broadcast by the audience as the target virtual gift. The anchor terminal device generates donation information indicating that the anchor target virtual gift is donated according to an operation of the donation target virtual gift performed by the user, and transmits the donation information to the server.

The server receives the presentation information, analyzes the presentation information, and determines a target virtual gift to be presented by the audience. Optionally, the server may also determine the number of target virtual gifts based on the comp message. Next, an identification of the target virtual gift is determined, and a corresponding key is read based on the identification of the target virtual gift. In the embodiment of the present invention, a special effect rendering function for rendering a target virtual gift special effect is referred to as a target special effect rendering function, and a key for decrypting the target special effect rendering function is referred to as a target key.

Then, the server packages the identification of the target virtual gift and the target key to obtain the virtual gift message. Optionally, the server packages the target virtual gift number in the virtual gift message according to the target virtual gift number included in the presentation information, and sends the target virtual gift number to the host device. In S101, the anchor device receives a virtual gift message.

Following the example above, assume that the server receives a comp message sent by an audience device, and by parsing the comp message, determines that the audience comp anchor 1 roses (roses). The server then determines that the identification of the target virtual gift is 1 and reads out the corresponding stored target Key1 based on the identification 1. The server then generates a virtual gift message (1, Key1,1) in accordance with (identification of the target virtual gift, target Key, number of target virtual gifts). Wherein, the identification of the target virtual gift represented by the virtual gift message (1, Key1,1) is 1, and the target Key is Key 1. Further, the virtual gift message also indicates that the number of target virtual gifts is 1. The server then sends the virtual gift message (1, Key1,1) to the anchor device. Further, the anchor device receives the virtual gift message (1, Key1, 1).

After receiving the virtual gift message, the anchor terminal equipment analyzes the identification of the target virtual gift and the target key in the virtual gift message. For example, after receiving the virtual gift message (1, Key1,1), the host device parses the identifier 1 and the destination Key1 of the destination virtual gift, and further parses the number 1 of the destination virtual gift.

Then, in S102, according to the identifier of the target virtual gift, the target special effect rendering function corresponding to the identifier is read into the memory. In the above example, since the identifier of the target virtual gift is 1 by parsing the virtual gift message, the anchor device reads the special effect rendering function Roses _ Resucoce stored corresponding to the identifier 1.

Next, in S103, the encrypted target special effect rendering function in the memory is decrypted using the target key. In the embodiment of the invention, the anchor terminal equipment decrypts the encrypted target special effect rendering function according to a preset decryption function. The preset decryption function is a decryption function corresponding to a preset encryption function of the encrypted special effect rendering function. In a specific implementation process, the preset Encryption function and the preset decryption function may be set based on, for example, DES (Data Encryption algorithm) or AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), and the present invention is not limited in particular.

In addition, in an embodiment, the anchor device may encrypt the N special effect rendering functions based on the N keys according to a preset encryption function in advance, so as to obtain the N encrypted special effect rendering functions. In another embodiment, the server encrypts the N special effect rendering functions based on the N keys according to a preset encryption function, further obtains the N encrypted special effect rendering functions, and sends the N encrypted special effect rendering functions to each anchor terminal device for storage. The embodiment facilitates the server to change one or any more of the special effect rendering function, the encryption and decryption algorithm and the secret key. In another embodiment, the N encrypted special effect rendering functions are included in an installation package of the live broadcast application, and then the N encrypted special effect rendering functions can be obtained in the process of installing the live broadcast application by the anchor device. This embodiment also facilitates the server to change one or any number of special effect rendering functions, encryption/decryption algorithms, and keys. In a specific implementation process, for a method for acquiring N encrypted special effect rendering functions by a host device, a person skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs may select any one of the implementation manners according to practice, and the present invention is not limited specifically.

In S102, the anchor device decrypts the encrypted target special effect rendering function according to a preset decryption function and a target key. Along with the above example, the encrypted target special effect rendering function is Roses _ respuoce, the Key is Key1, and assuming that the preset decryption function is AES-based function AES.

Aes.decrypt(roses_resuoce Key1)；

Because the N special effect rendering functions are encrypted, the anchor terminal equipment only has a target key, the target key can only decrypt the special effect rendering function of the virtual gift actually given by the audience, and cannot decrypt other special effect rendering functions, the anchor terminal equipment only can decrypt and operate the target special effect rendering function, and then only can render the special effect of the target virtual gift.

After the target special effect rendering function is decrypted, in S104, the target special effect rendering function may be run, and then a special effect of the target virtual gift is rendered in the live broadcast area of the anchor device. For example, if the target special effect rendering function is roses _ Resuloce, the special effect of roses (roses) is rendered.

Next, in S105, the special effect of the target virtual gift and the live video captured by the anchor device are collectively encoded into a video stream. Then, in S106, the video stream is transmitted to the server.

And then, after receiving the video stream, the server sends the video stream to all the viewer-side equipment. After each spectator end device receives the video stream, the video stream is analyzed, and then the analyzed video is displayed in a live broadcast area of the spectator end device. Because the video stream comprises the live video and the special effects of the target virtual gift, the audience device can simultaneously display the live video and the special effects of the target virtual gift. Furthermore, the audience presenting the target virtual gift and all other audiences can watch the special effect of the target virtual gift from the own audience end equipment.

As an optional embodiment, the method for displaying the special effect of the virtual gift on the device side of the anchor terminal may further include:

Specifically, the preset decryption function in the embodiment of the present invention not only can decrypt the target special effect rendering function, but also can calculate the decryption times for decrypting the target special effect rendering function. In addition, the special effect rendering function in the embodiment of the invention not only can render the special effect of the virtual gift, but also can calculate the running times. In an embodiment, the decryption times and the operation times are specifically historical times, that is, the total times of decryption and the operation of each special effect rendering function on the anchor device. In another embodiment, the decryption times and the execution times refer to times of decrypting a special effect rendering function and times of executing the special effect rendering function within a preset time period. The preset time period is, for example, 7 days, 10 days, 30 days, etc., and the present invention is not particularly limited. In another embodiment, the decryption times and the running times refer to decrypted times and running times of a special effect rendering function in the live broadcast.

In the embodiment of the invention, the initial decryption frequency in the preset decryption function is preset to be 0, the decryption frequency is increased by 1 every time the preset decryption function runs once, and the previous decryption frequency is covered. And, the preset decryption function outputs the decryption times in addition to the decryption result, namely the target special effect rendering function, during each operation. And presetting the initial operation times of each special effect rendering function as 0, increasing the operation times by 1 when the special effect rendering function operates once, and covering the operation times of the last time. The special effect rendering function outputs the rendering result and the operation times in each operation.

In the embodiment of the present invention, one implementation manner of sending the decryption times and/or the sending operation times is as follows: after the video stream is sent, before the video stream is sent or while the video stream is sent, the anchor device sends the decryption times and/or the operation times to the server. Another embodiment of the number of transmission decryptions and/or the number of transmission runs: and transmitting the decryption times and/or the operation times to the server in the video stream. Another embodiment of the number of transmission decryptions and/or the number of transmission runs: and the decryption times and/or the operation times are contained in other information and are sent to the server. Other information is, for example, identity authentication information or avatar update information, and the like, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may set the information according to the actual situation, and the present invention is not limited specifically.

And after the server receives the decryption times and/or the operation times sent by the anchor terminal, judging whether the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal or not according to the decryption times and/or the operation times. The server may transmit the video stream to all of the spectator devices only if the server determines that the special effect of the target virtual gift is legitimate, and the server may not transmit the video stream to any of the spectator devices if the server determines that the special effect of the target virtual gift is not legitimate. Therefore, the special effect of the legal virtual gift can be displayed for the audience to watch, and the special effect of the false virtual gift cannot be displayed for the audience to watch.

Specifically, the server first needs to determine which decryption times and/or execution times indicate which special effect rendering functions the decryption times and/or execution times are. In one embodiment, the identifier of the target virtual gift and the decryption times and/or the operation times are sent to the server together, and then the server determines a special effect rendering function specifically corresponding to the decryption times and/or the operation times according to the identifier of the target virtual gift. In another embodiment, the server performs image analysis on a special effect of a target virtual gift in the video stream, determines the target virtual gift corresponding to the special effect, and further determines a special effect rendering function corresponding to the decryption times and/or the operation times. In the specific implementation process, a person skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may select according to the practice, and the present invention is not particularly limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, there are various embodiments in which the server determines whether the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal based on the decryption times and/or the operation times, and three of the embodiments are described below.

The first method comprises the following steps:

in a first embodiment, the server specifically determines through the following process:

The first embodiment is an approximate judgment method. Specifically, if a video stream transmitted by the host device includes a large number of special effects of the target virtual gift, and the number of special effects of the target virtual gift exceeds a normal range or is significantly irregular, it is determined that the special effects of the target virtual gift in the video stream are illegal.

In a specific implementation process, the first preset number and the second preset number can be adaptively set according to the number of virtual gifts given by the anchor. For example, if an anchor receives 3 virtual gift roses per day, the first and second predetermined number of roses may be set to a number slightly greater than 3, for example, 5. Or, the number of virtual gifts received by all the anchor is calculated according to the big data, and then the first preset number and the second preset number are adaptively set according to the number of the virtual gifts received by all the anchor. For example, if the average number of virtual gift roses (roses) received by all anchor daily is 30, the first and second preset number of times may be set to a number greater than 30, for example, 50. Alternatively, the first preset number and the second preset number may be set to a larger number, for example, 200, so that a video stream with a significantly high number is regarded as an illegal video stream.

In a first implementation, the anchor device obtains and sends the decryption times, or the operation times, or the decryption times and the operation times to the server. Then, in an embodiment, the anchor device sends the decryption count, or the decryption count and the operation count, to the server, and the server determines whether the decryption count is greater than a first preset count. When the decryption times are less than a first preset time, showing that the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal; and when the decryption times are larger than or equal to a first preset time, the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is represented to be illegal. For example, if the anchor receives an average number of virtual gift Roses (Roses) per day of 30, then the average number of times the anchor device decrypts Roses _ rescues per day should also be 30. If the first preset number is set to be 35, when the decryption number is greater than or equal to 35, it indicates that the anchor device frequently decrypts the roses _ Resucoce on the same day, the possibility of illegally decrypting the target special effect rendering function is high, and further the possibility of falsely rendering the special effect of the target virtual gift is also high, so that the server determines that the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is illegal; when the decryption frequency is less than 35, the decryption frequency of the Roses _ Resucoce on the current day of the main broadcasting terminal equipment is similar to that of the prior art, the probability of illegally decrypting the target special effect rendering function is low, and further the probability of falsely rendering the special effect of the target virtual gift is also low, so that the server determines that the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal.

In another embodiment, the anchor device sends the running times, or the decryption times and the running times to the server, and the server determines whether the running times is greater than a second preset time. When the running times are less than a second preset time, the fact that the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal is represented; and when the decryption times are larger than or equal to a second preset time, the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is represented to be illegal. For example of the above embodiment, if the average number of roses (roses) of virtual gifts received by the anchor every day is 30, then the average number of times that the anchor device runs the roses _ Resuoce every day should also be 30, and if the second preset number is set to be 35, then when the running number is greater than or equal to 35, it indicates that the anchor device runs the roses _ Resuoce frequently every day, the possibility of illegally running the target special effect rendering function is high, and further the possibility of falsely rendering the special effect of the target virtual gifts is also high, so the server determines that the special effect of the target virtual gifts in the video stream is illegal; when the running times are less than 35, the running times of the roses _ Resucoce of the current day of the main broadcasting terminal equipment are similar to those of the prior art, the possibility of illegally running the target special effect rendering function is low, and further the possibility of falsely rendering the special effect of the target virtual gift is low, so that the server determines that the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal.

In a third embodiment, the anchor device sends the decryption count and the operation count to the server, and the server determines whether the decryption count is greater than a first preset count and determines whether the operation count is greater than a second preset count. When the decryption times are less than a first preset time and the operation times are less than a second preset time, showing that the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal; and when the decryption times are more than or equal to a first preset time, or the operation times are more than or equal to a second preset time, or the decryption times are more than or equal to the first preset time and the operation times are more than or equal to the second preset time, the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is represented to be illegal. For example of the above embodiment, the average number of roses (roses) of virtual gifts received by the anchor every day is 30, and then the average number of times that the anchor device decrypts and runs roses _ Resucose every day should also be 30, and assuming that the first preset number and the second preset number are both set to be 35, when one or both of the running number and the decryption number is greater than or equal to 35, it indicates that the anchor device frequently decrypts or runs roses _ Resucose in the same day, the possibility of illegally decrypting or running the target special effect rendering function is high, and further the possibility of falsely rendering the special effect of the target virtual gifts is also high, so the server determines that the special effect of the target virtual gifts in the video stream is illegal; when the number of times of operation is less than 35 and the number of times of decryption is also less than 35, the number of times of decryption and operation of the target special effect rendering function of the anchor terminal device on the same day is similar to that of the conventional times, the probability of illegal decryption and operation of the target special effect rendering function is low, and further the probability of falsely rendering the special effect of the target virtual gift is also low, so that the server determines that the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal.

As can be seen from the above description, by the first embodiment, the validity of the special effect of the virtual gift in the video example is roughly determined, and the video stream containing the false information can be intercepted and sent to the audience, thereby further avoiding the false display of the special effect of the virtual gift.

And the second method comprises the following steps:

in a second embodiment, before determining validity of the special effect of the virtual gift, the server further includes:

acquiring the number of the target virtual gifts presented by the anchor;

specifically, the judgment is carried out through the following processes:

In order to judge the validity of the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream, the server records the number of each type of virtual gift presented by the main broadcast in advance, and updates the number of each virtual gift according to the actual presentation condition.

Correspondingly, the meaning of the number of the target virtual gifts is consistent with the meaning of the decryption times and the operation times. For example, if the decryption times and the operation times are specifically historical times, the number of the target virtual gifts is also historical number, that is, the total number of the target virtual gifts given by the anchor; if the decryption times and the operation times refer to the decryption times and the operation times in a preset time period, the number of the target virtual gifts is also the number of the target virtual gifts presented by the anchor in the preset time period; and if the decryption times and the operation times refer to the decryption times and the operation times of the special effect rendering function in the live broadcast, the number of the target virtual gifts is the number of the target virtual gifts given by the main broadcast in the live broadcast.

The second embodiment is an accurate determination method. Since the server transmits the target key to the anchor device only when the viewer gives the target virtual gift to the anchor, the anchor device decrypts the decryption times of the target special effect rendering functions using the target key, and the number of times the target special effect rendering functions are run should be equal to the number of the target virtual gifts.

Therefore, in the second embodiment, the server first acquires the number of transmission-target virtual gifts. Then, in one embodiment, the anchor device sends the decryption count, or the decryption count and the operation count, to the server, and the server determines whether the decryption count is equal to the number of the target virtual gifts. When the decryption times are equal to the number of the target virtual gifts, the fact that the anchor terminal equipment decrypts the target special effect rendering function according to the number of the target virtual gifts is shown, and then the special effect legality of the target virtual gifts in the video stream is determined; when the decryption times are not equal to the number of the target virtual gifts, the fact that the anchor terminal device does not decrypt the target special effect rendering function according to the number of the target virtual gifts is indicated, and therefore the special effect of the target virtual gifts in the video stream is determined to be illegal.

In another embodiment, the anchor device sends the running times, or the decryption times and the running times, to the server, and the server determines whether the running times are equal to the number of the target virtual gifts. When the running times are equal to the number of the target virtual gifts, the target special effect rendering function is run by the anchor terminal equipment according to the number of the target virtual gifts, and then the special effect legality of the target virtual gifts in the video stream is determined; when the running times are not equal to the number of the target virtual gifts, the fact that the anchor terminal device does not run the target special effect rendering function on the number of the target virtual gifts is indicated, and therefore the special effect of the target virtual gifts in the video stream is determined to be illegal.

In another embodiment, the anchor device sends the decryption count and the operation count to the server, and the server determines whether both the decryption count and the operation count are equal to the number of the target virtual gifts. When the decryption times and the operation times are equal to the number of the target virtual gifts, the fact that the anchor terminal equipment decrypts the target virtual gifts according to the number of the target virtual gifts and operates a target special effect rendering function is shown, and then the special effect legality of the target virtual gifts in the video stream is determined; when one or two of the decryption times or the operation times are not equal to the number of the target virtual gifts, the fact that the anchor terminal device does not decrypt or operate the target special effect rendering function according to the number of the target virtual gifts is indicated, and then the fact that the special effect of the target virtual gifts in the video stream is illegal is determined.

As can be seen from the above description, by recording the number of target virtual gifts given by the anchor, determining the special effect of the target virtual gifts with the decryption times and/or the operation times being unequal to the number of the target virtual gifts as illegal, accurately filtering out the illegal video streams, and intercepting the video stream repeatedly rendering the special effect of the virtual gifts to send to the audience, the special effect of the virtual gifts is further prevented from being displayed falsely.

And the third is that:

in the third embodiment, the server specifically performs the determination by the following process:

In the embodiment of the invention, the target special effect rendering function is encrypted and stored in the anchor terminal equipment, and can be operated only when the target special effect rendering function is decrypted. Running the target special effect rendering function again requires decryption again. Therefore, the number of times of decryption is equal to the number of times of operation in a normal case.

Therefore, the server determines whether the number of times of decryption is equal to the number of times of operation. When the decryption times are equal to the operation times, the fact that the target special effect rendering function is operated once only when the anchor terminal equipment decrypts the target special effect rendering function once is shown, and then the special effect legality of the target virtual gift in the video stream is determined; and when the decryption times are not equal to the operation times, determining that the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is illegal.

In a specific implementation process, a person skilled in the art of the present invention may select any one of the above embodiments according to practice to determine whether the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal, and may select various embodiments to combine without conflict, for example, combine approximate determination and accurate determination, and the present invention is not limited in particular.

As an alternative embodiment, after S104, the method may further include:

deleting the target key;

and releasing the target special effect rendering function.

Specifically, after the target special effect rendering function runs the special effect of the output target virtual gift, the anchor terminal device deletes the target key and releases the target special effect rendering function in a decrypted state in the memory, so that the target key is prevented from being stolen, the target special effect rendering function is prevented from being repeatedly run or led out, and the virtual gift special effect is further prevented from being displayed falsely.

The following describes a method for displaying a virtual gift effect on a server side, as shown in fig. 3, including:

s201: receiving a gifting message which is sent by the audience terminal equipment and represents the gifting of the anchor target virtual gift;

s202: determining an identifier of the target virtual gift based on the gifting message, and determining a target key for decrypting a target special effect rendering function corresponding to the target virtual gift;

s203: obtaining a virtual gift message comprising an identification of the target virtual gift and the target key;

s204: sending the virtual gift message to the anchor device;

s205: receiving the video stream sent by the anchor terminal equipment;

s206: and transmitting the video stream to a plurality of the audience equipment.

The above has already described the specific embodiments of S201 to S206 in detail, and for specific reference, the above is not repeated here.

As an optional implementation manner, after S201, the server may further perform:

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the server records the virtual gifts purchased by each viewer, and the target virtual gifts given by the viewer should be the purchased virtual gifts. Therefore, upon receiving the gift message, the server queries the virtual gift purchased by the viewer based on the viewer identification and/or the viewer-side device identification included in the gift message. Then, it is determined whether the viewer purchases the virtual gift including the target virtual gift.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the virtual gift purchased by the viewer includes the target virtual gift, it indicates that the act of giving the main-cast target virtual gift to the viewer is legal, and S202 is performed. On the contrary, if the virtual gift purchased by the viewer does not include the target virtual gift, the viewer cannot give the target virtual gift at this time, and the giving behavior is illegal, so that it is determined that the giving message is illegal. Since the comp message is illegal, the server will not perform S202 and thus subsequent S203 to S206, thereby denying illegal comp behavior.

Further, when it is determined that the gifting message is illegal, the server may further send a first prompt message indicating that the target virtual gift needs to be purchased, or send a second prompt message indicating that the current gifting behavior server does not support, or send a warning message to the spectator side device, which is not limited in the present invention.

As can be seen from the above description, by determining whether the target virtual gift given by the viewer is included in the virtual gifts purchased by the viewer and refusing to perform the giving when the target virtual gift is not included in the virtual gifts purchased by the viewer, i.e., the giving action is illegal, not only is the virtual gift special effect prevented from being falsely displayed by the broadcaster, but also the illegal giving of the viewer is prevented, thereby further avoiding the waste of network resources and improving the information security.

As an optional implementation manner, after S205, the server may further perform:

Specifically, the determination of whether the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal based on the decryption times and/or the operation times can be implemented in at least three ways.

The first method comprises the following steps:

And the second method comprises the following steps:

before judging whether the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal or not based on the decryption times and/or the operation times, the method further comprises the following steps:

acquiring the number of the target virtual gifts presented by the anchor;

judging whether the special effect of the target virtual gift in the video stream is legal or not based on the decryption times and/or the operation times, which specifically comprises the following steps:

And the third is that:
