Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method and a device for guiding live interaction. The application also relates to a related electronic device and a storage medium.

Background

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

For example, in a K song living space (also referred to as a song studio), a host user may collect a live audio stream of the host user through a microphone of the host user side terminal, and send the live audio stream to a live server through a host client; the server transmits the live audio stream to the viewer client of the same song room by broadcasting or multicasting technology, thereby playing the live audio stream in each viewer user side terminal.

Users of live internet broadcasts, including the anchor and audience, are increasingly demanding of their social attributes, where an important point is to achieve good interaction of the audience with the anchor. In this regard, it is desirable to be able to employ various means to enhance the audience's interaction with the anchor while avoiding interactive alerts from affecting the user's use experience, particularly for the audience user.

The description of the background art is only for the purpose of facilitating an understanding of the relevant art and is not to be taken as an admission of prior art.

Detailed Description

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

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

In the embodiment of the present invention, the "live space" may be interpreted broadly as an independent space set in a live application, in which a live audio and video stream is provided by a host user to a viewer user. In the embodiment of the invention, the live space covers a live 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 or not the display is on each display level interface of the electronic device, and covers the foreground or the background of an application program (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 interaction. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention also relate to an electronic device implementing the above method and a storage medium storing a program that can implement the above method when executed. In some embodiments, an apparatus, component, unit, or model may be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware.

Referring specifically 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 different embodiments of the present invention may encompass live-based APPs as well as other types of APPs having live functionality or modules. In fig. 1, a frame diagram of a music type APP with live functionality, e.g. K-song APP, according to one embodiment of the invention is shown.

With continued reference to fig. 1, in the architecture of the live Application (APP), such as K-song APP, one or more live space modules may be provided. In the specific embodiment shown in fig. 1, the live space modules may include a live (room) module 101 and a song room module 102, respectively. By means of the live house module 101, the live APP may provide one or more live houses in which the hosting user may provide, for example, a song singing or video live, etc. performance for playing to the audience user in the live house. By means of the studio module 102, the live APP may provide one or more studios in which one or more singers may sing songs in a solo or K song manner, and a viewer user may enter the studio to listen to the solo or K song by the singer. In other embodiments of the invention, only one of the living room and the song room may be provided, or other types of living space may be provided.

In the embodiment of the invention, the live space such as live broadcast or users in a song room such as audience users and anchor users can interact with each other so as to promote the social property of network live broadcast. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the interaction may include viewing the virtual item in a live space, such as viewing the virtual item by a spectator user to a host user. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that in other embodiments, the interaction may also include sending a message, sending a bullet screen, sending a special effect, etc.

In some embodiments, the play (e.g., live) and presentation (e.g., viewing) may be provided as separate system architectures. For example, in the bus architecture of the live APP such as K song APP exemplarily shown in fig. 1, a view module 103 and a virtual article view unit (or referred to as gift sending processing unit (GiftSendProcessor)) 104 may be further provided, where the view module 103 and the virtual article view processing unit 104 may be independent from the live view (room) module 101 and the song room module 102, which are mainly used to construct a live broadcast or a song room.

With continued reference to fig. 1, a timing-based guided live interaction device/module independent of live space such as live or song rooms is also provided in the bus architecture of a live APP such as K song APP as shown. In the exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 1, the guided live interaction device/module may also be referred to as an interaction viscosity enhancing device (e.g., stickyTimerProcessor) 105.

Hereinafter, implementations or implementations of various embodiments of the direct broadcast interaction device/module and associated methods will be described with further reference to the accompanying drawings.

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

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

s201: and responding to the user triggering operation of the live space of the application program, and triggering the interactive guiding timing.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as described above with reference to fig. 1, the interactive guidance timing is performed independently of the live space. The independently performing interactive guidance timing refers to performing the timing independently of whether a user is located in the live space or whether the live space is located in a 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 comprises the user (e.g., an audience user) viewing 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-triggered operation, an identification number (ID) of the live space associated with the user-triggered operation is recorded, and the identification number is associated with the interactive guidance timing.

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

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

In some embodiments of the invention, the detection may be triggered by setting an event mechanism. For example, an event that the pilot interaction timing reaches a preset duration threshold may be generated when the pilot interaction timing reaches the preset duration threshold; 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 invention, the events may be recorded in a boot interaction event pool or an interaction viscosity event pool. In some embodiments, an integral cache may be provided in the memory of the application process to integrate the event pool, the aforementioned identification number cache, and/or the timing cache (described below) therein.

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

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

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

a3: based on the read identification number, it is determined whether the live space is located in the foreground.

The step A3 may include:

a4: and checking whether the read identification number is consistent with the identification number of the live space positioned at the application program foreground so as to confirm whether the live space positioned at the application program foreground is the live space associated with the user triggering operation.

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

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

In some embodiments of the present 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, an event that the guide interaction timing reaches a preset duration threshold is cached, and the prompt of the interaction guide message is not triggered.

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

Here, for example, when the live space is switched from the background of the application program or the application program is directly switched from the background to the foreground of the system, the event recorded (cached) in the event pool is read. If the event exists, the event is consumed, a prompt is triggered, and the event can be correspondingly destroyed.

The method for detecting whether the live space is switched back to the foreground of the application program may also be used in the aforementioned ID verification method, which is not described herein.

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

Thus, on the one hand, in response to the recording of an event, it will be detected, e.g. to monitor, whether the live space, e.g. the live room/song room, is located in the foreground of the application (e.g. whether the user is located in the live space), and trigger a prompt for an interactive guide message when it is detected that the live room/song room is located in the foreground of the application, optionally removing the recorded event; on the other hand, when it is detected that the live space, such as a live room/song room, is switched 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 not consumed event in the event pool, and when there is a recorded event, the event is consumed, that is, a prompt of an interactive guiding message is triggered, and optionally the recorded event is removed.

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

In a further embodiment, after starting the timing and in case 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 at the application interface), but the application is still in the foreground of the system interface, the timing is continued, independent of the live space or the live/song-room module as described in fig. 1.

Referring to FIG. 3, for example, a second schematic flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the invention is shown in which processing is embodied when the live space is not in the foreground of the application during the timekeeping process. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the method may further comprise:

s301: after triggering the interactive guidance timing and before the guidance interactive timing reaches a preset duration threshold, if the live space leaves the foreground of the application program and the application program is positioned at the system foreground, continuing the live interaction guidance timing.

S302: and when the guide interaction timing reaches a preset duration 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 guide interaction timing reaches the preset duration threshold and not triggering the prompt of the interaction guide message.

In some embodiments, as previously described, in response to the generated event, it will be detected whether the live space is located in the foreground of the application; when the live space leaves the foreground of the application and the application is located in the system foreground, the prompt of the interactive guide message will not be triggered, and at the same time, the event will not be consumed and destroyed, but buffered.

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

Implementation of relevant method steps according to an embodiment of the invention is described in connection with fig. 2, 3 and 6 and fig. 9, wherein fig. 6 shows an exemplary diagram of 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 may be installed, in the embodiment shown for example a K-song APP with live functionality. The K song 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 located in the foreground of the electronic device.

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

Referring to fig. 6 and fig. 3 in combination, after triggering the interactive guidance timing and before the guidance interactive timing reaches a preset duration threshold, if the live space is not in the foreground of the application program and the application program is in the foreground of the system, in other words, when the user switches in the application program, the live interaction guidance timing can be continued. As in the example of fig. 6, the timing in the timer is still on when 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 system foreground, the live space, such as a display bay window or "bubble" 620 of the song room 610, may be presented as a quick link icon returning to the live space, such as the 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 played in a live space, e.g. a song room, by means of a speaker or headphones paired with the electronic device. In other embodiments, the live space not being in the foreground of the application may also cover situations where the user has exited the live space. Here, in some embodiments of the present invention, it may be set that the timer will be 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 count of the timer reaches the preset duration threshold, for example, an event may be generated in the event pool 860 that directs the count of the interactions to reach the preset duration threshold. At this time, it may be detected whether the live space such as the song room 810 (ID: 000800) is located in the foreground, and if so, a prompt for interactive guidance information may be triggered, for example, a prompt for guidance viewing information 840 as shown in fig. 8. After the prompt is triggered, the event is consumed and can be destroyed.

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

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

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

s401: after triggering the interactive guidance timing and before the guidance interactive timing reaches a preset duration threshold, suspending the interactive guidance timing and recording the timing duration of the interactive guidance timing when the application program is switched to a system background.

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

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

As exemplarily shown in fig. 7A and referring to fig. 9 in combination, 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 boot timing and record the timing duration at the time of suspension, for example, in the timing buffer 750.

As exemplarily shown in fig. 7B and referring to fig. 9 in combination, 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 program, and the live space shown in fig. 7B, such as a song room (ID: 000800), is not located in the foreground of the application program but is presented in the form of a display bay window), the timer 730 may read the duration of the recording when paused from the timing buffer 750, and continue to count for the duration of the recording.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the time that the application is in the background of the system does not account for the boot duration.

Another solution for switching to the system background according to an embodiment of the invention is shown in fig. 5.

A fourth schematic flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the invention is shown with reference to fig. 5. 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 comprise:

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

S502: and when the application program is switched back to the system foreground from the system background, the triggering time point is read, and the time length which is passed from the triggering time point is determined.

S503: and if the duration of the experience is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, defining that the guide interaction timing reaches the preset duration threshold.

S504: and if the duration of the experience is smaller than the preset duration threshold, continuing to time the duration of the experience.

The embodiment shown in fig. 5 differs from the embodiment shown in fig. 4 in that, for example, the point in time at which the timer is triggered can be recorded in a timer buffer and, when the application program is restored to the system foreground, it is determined whether the preset duration threshold has been reached with the absolute time of said point in time. For example, when t1-t0 is equal to or greater than Δt, defining that the preset duration threshold is reached, for example, performing the foregoing detection, and triggering or not triggering the prompt of the interactive guiding message according to the detection result; wherein t1 is the event point of the application program switching from the system background to the system foreground, t0 is the trigger event point, and Δt is the 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 counts the boot duration and records events when a preset duration threshold is reached.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when an application program is located in the background of the system for a long time (far exceeding the preset duration threshold), the foregoing timer may be automatically cleared and/or the foregoing buffer or event pool may be reclaimed or released based on a memory reclamation mechanism configured by the system (such as Android or iOS), or a specially configured memory reclamation mechanism may be also utilized, where the boot interaction timing (and event) mechanism is reset at this time, and then entering the same live space triggers a new boot interaction timing, which is not described herein again.

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

In some embodiments, the timer unit 1001 may be configured to trigger the interactive guidance timer in response to a user-triggered operation of the application live space. In an embodiment of the present invention, the timer unit 1001 is independent of 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 pilot interaction timing reaches a preset duration threshold.

In some embodiments, the triggering unit 1003 may be configured to trigger prompting of an interactive guidance message if the live space is detected to be located in the foreground of the application.

In some alternative embodiments, the apparatus may further direct an interaction event pool, which may be configured to detect that the live space leaves the foreground of the application and the application is located in a system foreground, and cache an event that directs 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 switches 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 interaction may further include a time buffer unit configured to suspend the interactive guidance timing when the application is switched to the system background after triggering the interactive guidance timing and before the guidance interaction timing reaches a preset duration 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 time duration from the time duration buffer when the application program is switched from the system background to the system foreground, and continue to time with the time duration.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the apparatus of this embodiment may incorporate the method features described in other embodiments and vice versa without causing contradiction.
