Background

With the development of internet technology, the network live broadcast service is widely popularized, and the network anchor user can play the live broadcast audio and video stream to a plurality of audience users entering a live broadcast space.

For example, in a karaoke live space (also referred to as a song room), an anchor user can collect a live audio stream of the anchor user through a microphone of an anchor user side terminal and send the live audio stream to a live server through an anchor client; the server sends the live audio stream to the audience client end of the same song room through the broadcasting or multicasting technology, so that the live audio stream is played in each audience user side terminal.

The requirements of users of internet live broadcast, including the anchor and audiences, on the social property of the internet live broadcast are continuously increasing, and an important point is that the audiences and the anchor can well interact. In this regard, it is desirable to improve viewer interaction with the anchor by various means while avoiding the impact of interactive alerts on the user experience, particularly for the viewer user.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings. The exemplary embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are provided to explain the present invention, but not to limit the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a live Application (APP) can be broadly interpreted, and covers an APP with a live function as a main function and other types of APPs with live functions or modules. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the Applications (APPs) may be different types of APPs with live functionality or modules, including but not limited to: music APP, social APP, shopping APP, video APP, and the like.

In embodiments of the present invention, a "live space" may be broadly interpreted as an independent space provided in a live application in which live audio and video streams are provided by a anchor user to audience users. In the embodiment of the invention, the "live broadcasting space" covers a "live broadcasting room" and a "song room".

In the embodiments of the present invention, "foreground" or "background" has a meaning known in the art, and refers to whether to display on each display level interface of the electronic device, and covers the foreground or the background of an application (interface), and the foreground or the background of an operating system (interface).

The embodiment of the invention provides a method and a device for guiding live broadcast interaction. Furthermore, the embodiment of the invention also relates to an electronic device implementing the method and a storage medium storing a program capable of realizing the method when the program is executed. In some embodiments, an apparatus, component, unit or model may be implemented by software, hardware or a combination of software and hardware.

And in particular to fig. 1, an exemplary architecture diagram of an application according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, illustrating an apparatus/module according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As previously mentioned, the live Applications (APPs) of various embodiments of the present invention may encompass both direct-broadcast-enabled APPs as well as other types of APPs having direct-broadcast functionality or modules. In fig. 1, an architecture diagram of a music type APP with live function, such as a karaoke APP, according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

With continued reference to fig. 1, in the architecture of the live Application (APP), such as the karaoke APP, one or more live space modules may be provided. In the particular embodiment shown in fig. 1, the live space module may include a live (room) module 101 and a song room module 102, respectively. With the live room module 101, a live APP may provide one or more live rooms in which a host user may provide, for example, a performance of a song singing or a video live to play to audience users in the live room. With the help of the song room module 102, the live APP may provide one or more song rooms in which one or more singers may sing a song in solo or karaoke fashion, and the audience user may enter the song room to listen to the song solo or karaoke by the singer. In other embodiments of the invention, only one of the live room and the song room may be provided, or other types of live spaces may be provided.

In the embodiment of the invention, interaction can be carried out between users in a live broadcast space such as a live broadcast room or a song room, such as between audience users and a main broadcast user, so that the social contact of network live broadcast is improved. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the interaction may include enjoying the virtual item in a live space, such as an audience user enjoying the virtual item to a main user. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that in alternative embodiments, the interaction may also include sending a message, sending a barrage, or sending a special effect, etc.

In some embodiments, playback (e.g., live) and presentation (e.g., reward) may be provided as separate system architectures. For example, in the bus architecture of a live APP such as a karaoke APP exemplarily shown in fig. 1, a reward view (RewardView) module 103 and a virtual article reward unit (or referred to as a gift sending processing unit (giftsendacessor)) 104 may be further provided, and the reward view module 103 and the virtual article reward unit 104 may be independent of the live (room) module 101 and the song room module 102 mainly used for constructing a live room or a song room.

With continued reference to fig. 1, a bus architecture of live APP such as karaoke APP is shown in which a timing-based direct live interaction device/module independent of a live space such as a live room or a song room is also provided. In the exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 1, the direct live interaction device/module may also be referred to as an interactive viscosity promotion device (e.g., StickyTimerProcessor) 105.

Implementations or implementations of various embodiments of the direct live interaction device/module and related methods will be described further below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, a method of guiding live interaction according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which may be implemented by the live interaction device/module, for example.

With continued reference to fig. 2, the method may include:

s201: and triggering the interactive guide timing in response to the user trigger operation of the application program live broadcast space.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as described above with reference to fig. 1, the interactive guide timing is performed independently of the live space. The independent interactive guide timing is performed independently of whether a user is in the live broadcast space or whether the live broadcast space is in the foreground of an application program.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the user-triggered operation includes at least one of a user entering a live space or a user (e.g., a viewer user) performing an interactive operation in the live space. As in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the user interaction includes a user (e.g., audience user) enjoying a virtual item in the live space.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the step S201 further includes:

a1: in response to the user trigger operation, recording an identification number (ID) of the live space associated with the user trigger operation, and associating the identification number with the interactive guidance timing.

In order to effectively confirm that the same live space for which the timing is directed is located or returned to the foreground of the application when the interaction is conducted, the ID of the live space may be recorded in response to a trigger operation record of the user, which may be cached in a memory of a process of the application, for example. For example, an identification number buffer may be provided, alone or in combination with other elements, to record the ID of the live space in the buffer, as schematically shown in fig. 9.

S202: and when the guide interaction timing reaches a preset duration threshold, detecting whether the live broadcast space is positioned in the foreground of the application program.

In some embodiments of the invention, the detection may be triggered by setting an event mechanism. For example, when the guiding interaction timing reaches a preset time threshold, an event that the guiding interaction timing reaches the preset time threshold may be generated; and, triggering the detection by the generated event. In some embodiments, the events may be generated, cached, consumed, or destroyed as the case may be, as described further below.

In some embodiments of the present invention, a corresponding Event Pool (Event Pool) may be set to record the Event. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the events may be recorded in a boot interaction events pool, or referred to as an interactive sticky events pool. In some embodiments, an integral buffer may be provided in the memory of the application process, so as to integrate the event pool, the aforementioned identification number buffer and/or the timing buffer therein (as described below).

In some embodiments of the present invention, the preset duration threshold may be determined empirically. In other embodiments, the preset duration threshold may be determined based on historical statistics. In some embodiments, the preset duration threshold may be determined based on historical statistics of the user, or based on historical statistical averages of a plurality of users of the application.

In some embodiments, the detecting whether the live space is in the foreground of the application may include:

a2: reading the identification number of the recorded live broadcast space;

a3: determining whether the live space is in a foreground based on the read identification number.

The step a3 may include:

a4: and checking whether the read identification number is consistent with the identification number of the live broadcast space positioned on the application program foreground or not so as to confirm whether the live broadcast space positioned on the application program foreground is the live broadcast space associated with the user trigger operation or not.

S203: and if the live broadcast space is positioned in the foreground of the application program, triggering the prompt of an interactive guidance message.

In some embodiments of the invention, the aforementioned generated events are consumed and destroyed when the prompt of the interactive guidance message is triggered.

In some embodiments of the invention, the method may further comprise:

b1: if the live broadcast space is detected not to be located in the foreground of the application program, caching an event that the guiding interaction timing reaches a preset duration threshold value and not triggering the prompt of the interaction guiding message.

B2: and when the live broadcast space is switched back to the foreground of the application program, reading the cached event, and if the cached event is read, triggering the prompt of an interactive guidance message.

In this case, for example, events recorded (cached) in the event pool are read when the live space is switched back from the background of the application or when the application is switched back to the foreground directly from the system background. If the event exists, the event is consumed, a prompt is triggered, and the event can be destroyed accordingly.

Here, the aforementioned ID checking method may also be used to detect whether the live broadcast space is switched back to the foreground of the application, which is not described herein.

In these embodiments of the invention, the detection and the event logging may be interlocked.

Thus, on the one hand, in response to the recording of an event, it will be detected, e.g., whether the monitoring of the live broadcast space, e.g., the live broadcast room/song room, is located in the foreground of the application (e.g., whether the user is located in the live broadcast space), and when it is detected that the live broadcast room/song room is located in the foreground of the application, the prompt for the interactive guidance message is triggered, optionally removing the recorded event; on the other hand, when it is detected that the live space, such as a live room/song room, switches back to the foreground of the application (e.g., restored by the system background or the application background), it is detected whether there is a recorded but unconsumed event in the event pool, and when there is a recorded event, the event is consumed, i.e., the prompt to trigger the interactive guidance message, and the recorded event is optionally removed.

In the embodiment of the invention, by setting the interactive guide timing independent of the live broadcast space such as a live broadcast room/song room, the timing can still be carried out according to a reasonable time length threshold value under the condition that the user already exits the current live broadcast space or the live broadcast space is not in the foreground of an application program; moreover, by guiding the recording of the event that the interactive timing reaches the preset duration threshold and detecting whether the live broadcast space (live broadcast room/song room) is located in the foreground of the application program, the interactive prompt message can be provided only when the live broadcast space (live broadcast room/song room) is located in the foreground of the application program and is presented to the user. Therefore, when the live broadcast space exits from the foreground of the application program (for example, the user exits from the live broadcast space or minimizes the live broadcast space in an application program interface), the interaction (such as appreciation) of the user can be still promoted at a reasonable time interval, so that the interactivity of the live broadcast of the network is improved, and the use experience of the user using the live broadcast application program is not influenced by too many messages.

In a further embodiment, after the timing is started and in the case that the timing does not reach the preset duration threshold, if the live space is no longer in the foreground of the application (e.g. the user exits the live space or minimizes the live space on the application interface), but the application is still in the foreground of the system interface, the timing is still continued without depending on the live space or the live/song room module as described in fig. 1.

For example, referring to fig. 3, a second schematic flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, in which a process is embodied when the live space is not in the foreground of the application during the timing process. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the method may further include:

s301: after triggering the interactive guide timing and before the guide interactive timing reaches a preset time threshold, if the live broadcast space leaves the foreground of the application program and the application program is located in the system foreground, the live broadcast interactive guide timing is continued.

S302: and when the guiding interactive timing reaches a preset time threshold, if the live broadcast space is not located in the foreground of the application program and the application program is located in the system foreground, caching an event that the guiding interactive timing reaches the preset time threshold and not triggering the prompt of an interactive guiding message.

In some embodiments, as previously described, in response to a generated event, it will be detected whether the live space is in the foreground of the application; when the live broadcast space leaves the foreground of the application program and the application program is positioned in the foreground of the system, the prompt of the interactive guidance message is not triggered, and meanwhile, the event is not consumed and destroyed but is cached.

S303: and when the live broadcast space (from the background of the application program) is switched back to the foreground of the application program, reading the recorded event, and if the recorded event is read, triggering the prompt of the interactive guide message.

An implementation of the relevant method steps according to an embodiment of the invention is described in conjunction with fig. 2, 3 and 6 and fig. 9, where fig. 6 shows an exemplary diagram of the method steps according to an embodiment of the invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the electronic device 600 is, for example, a mobile terminal, in which a live APP can be installed, and in the embodiment shown, for example, a karaoke APP with a live function. The karaoke APP in the illustrated embodiment may have, for example, a bus architecture as shown in FIG. 1. Fig. 6 shows that the live APP is in the foreground of the electronic device.

Although not shown in the figure, when the user enters a live space such as the song room 610, an interactive guidance timer (e.g., a reward viscosity boost timer) is triggered. In some embodiments, an identification number (ID) of a live space, such as a song room, is recorded when a user enters the live space, such as the song room ID shown in fig. 6: 000800. as previously mentioned, the interactive guidance timing may be triggered in response to other operations by the user in the live space, for example, in response to user interactions such as a viewing operation in the live space. The timing is implemented, for example, by a timer 630 independent of the live space.

With reference to fig. 6 and fig. 3, after the interactive guidance timing is triggered and before the guidance interactive timing reaches the preset duration threshold, if the live broadcast space is not in the foreground of the application and the application is in the foreground of the system, in other words, when the user switches within the application, the live broadcast interactive guidance timing can be continued. As in the example of fig. 6, the timing in the timer continues as the user switches within the application. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6, where the live space is not in the foreground of the application, but the application is in the foreground of the system, a display float window or "bubble" 620 of the live space, such as song room 610, may be presented, which may serve as a quick link icon back to the live space, such as song room 610. Here, the user may be "not exiting" the live space, e.g. the user may still listen to a live audio stream of a live space, such as a studio, by means of a speaker or headphones paired with the electronic device. In other embodiments, the absence of the live space in the foreground of the application may also cover a situation where the user has exited the live space. Here, in some embodiments of the present invention, it may be set that the timer is re-triggered (reset) when the user exits the current live space and enters a new live space.

Referring to fig. 2, 3, 6 and 8 in combination, when the timing of the timer reaches the preset duration threshold, an event that guides the interaction timing to reach the preset duration threshold may be generated in the event pool 860, for example. At this time, it can be detected whether the live space, such as the song room 810 (ID: 000800), is in the foreground, and if so, a prompt of interactive guidance information, such as the prompt of guidance appreciation information 840 shown in fig. 8, can be triggered. Upon triggering the prompt, the event is consumed and may be destroyed.

With reference to fig. 2, fig. 3, and fig. 6, if the timing of the timer reaches the preset duration threshold, and it is detected that the live broadcast space is not in the application foreground (for example, in the application background or in the system background), an event that guides the interactive timing to reach the preset duration threshold may be recorded (cached) in the event pool, and at this time, the prompt of the interactive guidance information is not triggered; also, a live space module, such as a live/song room module, can detect in real-time, e.g., listen, for the live space, such as the song room 820 (ID: 000800), to switch back to the foreground of the application. As shown in fig. 8, when the song room is switched back, a prompt of the interactive guidance information 840 is triggered.

According to a further embodiment, a solution when an application switches to the system background may also be provided.

Fig. 4 shows a solution for switching to the background of the system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 4, a third schematic flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. On the basis of the method embodiments as shown in fig. 2 and/or fig. 3, the method in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 may further include:

s401: after the interactive guide timing is triggered and before the guide interactive timing reaches a preset time threshold, when the application program is switched to a system background, the interactive guide timing is suspended, and the timing time of the interactive guide timing is recorded.

S402: and when the application program is switched back to the system foreground from the system background, reading the recorded timing duration and continuing timing by using the timing duration.

Reference is made in combination to fig. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7A and 7B and 9. As previously mentioned and as exemplarily shown in fig. 9, the timing is separate from the live room/song room.

As exemplarily shown in fig. 7A and with reference to fig. 9, when the live APP of the electronic device 700 is switched to the system background, for example, because the application is suspended, the timer 730 will suspend the interactive booting timing, and record the timing duration when suspended, for example, in the timing buffer 750.

As exemplarily shown in fig. 7B and with reference to fig. 9, when the live APP of the electronic device 700 is switched back to the system foreground (at this time, the live space may or may not be located in the foreground of the application, and the live space shown in fig. 7B, such as song room (ID: 000800), is not located in the foreground of the application, but is presented in the form of a display window), the timer 730 may read the recorded duration of the pause from the timing buffer 750 and continue to count the time with the recorded duration.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the time that the application is in the background of the system does not count into the duration of the boot.

Fig. 5 shows another solution for switching to the system background according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 5, a fourth schematic flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. On the basis of the method embodiments as shown in fig. 2 and/or fig. 3, the method in the embodiment shown in fig. 5 may further include:

s501: after triggering the interactive guide timing and before the guide interactive timing reaches a preset time threshold, when the application program is switched to a system background, suspending the interactive guide timing and recording a trigger time point of the interactive guide timing.

S502: and when the application program is switched back to the system foreground from the system background, reading the trigger time point and determining the time length elapsed from the trigger time point.

S503: and if the elapsed time is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, defining that the guiding interaction timing reaches the preset time threshold.

S504: and if the elapsed time length is less than the preset time length threshold value, continuing timing by using the elapsed time length.

The embodiment shown in fig. 5 differs from the embodiment shown in fig. 4 in that, for example, the time point of triggering the timing may be recorded in the timing buffer, and when the application returns to the system foreground, it is determined whether the preset duration threshold has been reached with the absolute time of the time point. For example, when t1-t0 ≧ Δ t, the preset duration threshold is defined to be reached, so as to, for example, perform the aforementioned detection, and trigger or not trigger the prompt of the interactive guidance message according to the detection result; wherein t1 is an event point at which the application switches from the system background back to the system foreground, t0 is a trigger event point, and Δ t is a preset duration threshold. In some embodiments, the defining may include generating the aforementioned event. Thus, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the time that the application is in the background of the system is counted into the boot time period, and the event is recorded when the preset time period threshold is reached.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the application program is located in the system background for a long time (far beyond the preset time threshold), the timer may be automatically cleared and/or the cache area or the event pool may be recovered or released based on a memory recovery mechanism configured by the system (e.g., Android or iOS), or a specially configured memory recovery mechanism may be used, at this time, the guidance interaction timing (and events thereof) mechanism is reset, and then entering the same live broadcast space triggers new guidance interaction timing, which is not described herein again.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10, there is further provided a device 1000 for guiding live interaction, which may be, for example, an interactive viscosity increasing device as shown in fig. 1. The device 1000 may include a timer unit 1001, a detection unit 1002, and a trigger unit 1003.

In some embodiments, the timer unit 1001 may be configured to trigger the interactive guidance timing in response to a user trigger operation of the application live space. In the embodiment of the present invention, the timer unit 1001 is independent from the live space (not shown).

In some embodiments, the detecting unit 1002 is configured to detect whether the live space is located in the foreground of the application program when the guiding interaction timing reaches a preset duration threshold.

In some embodiments, the triggering unit 1003 may be configured to trigger the prompt of the interactive guidance message if it is detected that the live broadcast space is located in the foreground of the application program.

In some optional embodiments, the device may further direct an interaction event pool, which may be configured to detect that the live space leaves a foreground of the application and the application is located in a system foreground, and cache an event that directs an interaction timing to reach a preset duration threshold. In some embodiments, the triggering unit 1003 may be further configured to read a cached event when the live space is switched back to the foreground of the application, and trigger a prompt of an interactive guidance message if the cached event is read.

In some optional embodiments, the apparatus 1000 for guiding live broadcast interaction may further include a time buffer unit configured to pause the interactive guidance timing when the application is switched to the system background after the interactive guidance timing is triggered and before the guidance interactive timing reaches a preset time threshold, and record a timing duration of the interactive guidance timing in a timing buffer. In this embodiment, the timer unit 1001 may be further configured to read the recorded timing duration from a timing buffer and continue to count with the timing duration when the application switches from the system background to the system foreground.

It will be clear to a person skilled in the art that without causing a contradiction, the device of the present embodiment may incorporate method features described in other embodiments, and vice versa.

The embodiment of the invention also provides the electronic equipment. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may be a mobile terminal, and preferably may be a mobile phone or a tablet. By way of exemplary implementation only, fig. 11 illustrates a hardware architecture diagram of a particular embodiment, such as mobile terminal 1100; and fig. 12A and 12B are schematic views illustrating an operating system configuration of one embodiment of the mobile terminal.

In the illustrated embodiment, mobile terminal 1100 may include processor 1101, external memory interface 1112, internal memory 1110, Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface 1113, charge management module 1114, power management module 1115, battery 1116, mobile communication module 1140, wireless communication module 1142, antennas 1139 and 1141, audio module 1134, speaker 1135, microphone 1136, microphone 1137, headset interface 1138, keys 1109, motor 11011, indicator 1107, user identification module (SIM) card interface 1111, display 1105, camera 1106, sensor module 1120, and the like.

It is to be understood that the illustrated structure of the embodiments of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation to the mobile terminal 1100. In other embodiments of the present application, mobile terminal 1100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or some components may be combined, some components may be split, or a different arrangement of components. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

In some embodiments, processor 1101 may include one or more processing units. In some embodiments, the processor 1101 may include one or a combination of at least two of the following: an Application Processor (AP), a modem processor, a baseband processor, a Graphics Processor (GPU), an Image Signal Processor (ISP), a controller, a memory, a video codec, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a baseband processor, a neural Network Processor (NPU), and so forth.
