FIG. 2A is a flowchart of a video live broadcast method according to an exemplary embodiment, where an interactive host is a host broadcast terminal, a server, and a viewer terminal. The anchor terminal refers to a mobile terminal, and the audience terminal can refer to both a mobile terminal and a fixed terminal. Taking the anchor terminal to start the front camera for video screen shooting, and then starting the rear camera for video screen shooting, as shown in FIG. 2A, the following steps are included.

In step 201, the anchor terminal plays the first video picture captured by the front camera on the live video page.

Usually, for the viewer users, the anchor screen is the most wanted to see. Similarly, for the anchor user, the anchor screen is also the most wanted to show it to everyone, so the importance of the exterior scene is generally lower than the anchor screen. of. Therefore, when the anchor user is using the anchor terminal for live broadcast, the preferred method is to start the front camera for shooting. Wherein, the anchor terminal can be a smart phone or a tablet computer, etc., the present disclosure The embodiment does not specifically limit this.

The live broadcast software on the anchor terminal can obtain the first video image captured by the front camera in real time and play it on the live video page. At the same time, the live broadcast software on the anchor terminal also uploads the first video image and the live broadcast identifier captured by the front camera to the server in real time, and the server determines to view the audience user identifier of the broadcast user live broadcast according to the live broadcast identifier. And sending the first video screen to the audience terminal according to the viewer user identifier. If the live broadcast software is also installed in the viewer terminal, the first video screen can be displayed synchronously with the anchor terminal, and the playback progress of the video screen is consistent. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the content captured by the front camera is collectively referred to as the first video image, and the content captured by the rear camera is similar to the second video image in the subsequent step. Collectively. The live broadcast identifier refers to the name or number of the live broadcast room, and can be generated by the server for the live broadcast room. The viewer terminal can enter the live room by selecting the live room logo or entering the live room logo.

In step 202, the anchor terminal displays the first startup option of the rear camera on the live video page; after detecting the trigger operation of the first startup option, the rear camera is activated to shoot.

In some special scenarios, sometimes the anchor user may need to display the external scene, such as showing the audience the amount of heavy rain outside, and the live broadcast of the accident scene in front of the scene. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to facilitate the host user to display the external scene, a startup option of the rear camera is provided on the live video page.

The first startup option may specifically be a virtual button that can be clicked by the anchor user. When the anchor terminal detects that the anchor user clicks the first startup option, the live broadcast software actively calls the rear camera to perform video screen shooting. The first startup option may be displayed on the video live page, except for any area for playing the video screen, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

The above steps 201 and 202 describe how to restart the rear camera for video screen shooting only when the front camera is in the shooting state. It should be noted that if only the rear camera is currently in the shooting state, the second startup option of the front camera can also be displayed on the live video page. After the anchor terminal detects the triggering operation of the second startup option, the front camera is further activated. Video screen shooting. That is, when a camera is activated, another camera can be triggered by the startup option displayed on the live video page.

In step 203, the anchor terminal synthesizes the first video picture captured by the front camera and the second video picture captured by the rear camera to obtain a target video picture.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since both the front camera and the rear camera of the anchor terminal are in the shooting state, the anchor screen and the exterior scene screen are captured in real time. After the live video software obtains the first video picture taken by the front camera and the second video picture taken by the rear camera, in order to display the anchor picture and the exterior picture at the same time, the first video picture and the second picture will be displayed. The time-frequency picture is synthesized in the following manners, so that the target video picture as shown in FIG. 2B to FIG. 2D can be displayed on the anchor terminal.

In the first mode, the first video picture and the second video picture are combined according to the left and right split screen modes shown in FIG. 2B.

For the first mode, the left and right split screen mode refers to dividing the display area for playing the video picture on the live video page into two parts. One part is used to display the first video picture taken by the front camera, and the other part is used to display the second video picture taken by the rear camera. Limited to the size of the anchor terminal screen, the left and right split screen mode is usually used when the anchor terminal is in the landscape state. At present, the terminal is configured with a sensor, and according to the sensor information returned by the sensor, it can be determined whether the current posture of the anchor terminal is a horizontal screen state or a vertical screen state. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the anchor terminal may be configured with a magnetic field sensor, a gyro sensor, a six-axis orientation sensor, or a nine-axis rotation vector sensor, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

When performing video picture synthesis in accordance with the above-described split screen mode, a method of synthesizing image frames one by one is usually adopted. For example, after the rear camera is started, the image frame that is captured by the front camera and currently being played is cut to a certain extent, and the first frame image captured by the rear camera is also trimmed to some extent, and then the cropped image is cut. The two image frames are synthesized according to the left and right split screen modes, and the second frame image captured by the rear camera and the image captured by the front camera and the next frame are also synthesized according to the left and right split screen modes, and so on. This example does not specifically limit this.

In the second mode, the first video picture and the second video picture are combined according to the up and down split mode shown in FIG. 2C.

For the second mode, the upper and lower split screen mode refers to dividing the display area for playing the video screen on the live video page into two upper and lower parts. One part is used to display the first video picture taken by the front camera, and the other part is used to display the second video picture taken by the rear camera. Limited by the size of the anchor terminal screen, the up and down split mode is usually used when the anchor terminal is in the portrait state. When performing video picture synthesis in accordance with the above-described split screen mode, a method of synthesizing image frames one by one is usually adopted. For example, after the rear camera is started, the image frame that is captured by the front camera and currently playing is clipped to a certain extent, and the first frame image captured by the rear camera is also trimmed to some extent, and the two cropped images are cut. The image frames are synthesized according to the upper and lower split screen modes, and the second frame image captured by the rear camera and the image captured by the front camera and the next frame are also synthesized in the upper and lower split mode, and so on, the embodiment of the present disclosure This is not specifically limited.

In a third manner, the first video picture and the second video picture are combined according to the picture-in-picture mode shown in FIGS. 2D and 2E;

For the third mode, the picture-in-picture mode refers to dividing the display area for playing a video picture on the live video page into two parts. One part is contained in the area of the other part. Similar to the above two cases, one part is used to display the first video picture taken by the front camera, and the other part is used to display the second video picture taken by the rear camera. The picture-in-picture mode is applicable when the anchor terminal is in the portrait or landscape mode. When performing video picture synthesis in accordance with the above-described split screen mode, a method of synthesizing image frames one by one is usually adopted. For example, after the rear camera is activated, the width and height of the image frame currently being captured by the front camera are compressed to a certain extent, and the width and height of the first frame image captured by the rear camera are subjected to a certain degree. After compression, the compressed two image frames are synthesized according to the picture-in-picture mode, and the second frame image captured by the rear camera and the image captured by the front camera and the next frame are also synthesized in the picture-in-picture mode. And the like, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this.

In step 204, the anchor terminal plays the target video picture, and the target video picture and the live broadcast room The ID is sent to the server.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the first video picture and the second video picture are combined, the live broadcast software of the anchor terminal can directly play the target video picture on the live video page of the anchor terminal. If the target video picture is synthesized according to the left and right split screen mode, the anchor terminal plays the first video picture in the first display area of the live video page and the second video area in the second display area, as shown in FIG. 2B. . Optionally, the first display area is located to the left of the second display area.

If the target video picture is synthesized according to the upper and lower split screen modes, the anchor terminal will play the first video picture in the third display area of the live video page, and the second display area plays the second video picture as shown in FIG. 2C. . Optionally, the third display area is located above the fourth display area.

If the target video picture is synthesized according to the picture-in-picture mode, the anchor terminal plays the first video picture in the fifth display area of the live video page, and the second display area plays the second video picture, as shown in FIG. 2D. . Optionally, the sixth display area is located in the fifth display area.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the anchor terminal adopts the dual camera live broadcast mode of the front camera and the rear camera. In order to enable the viewer terminal to simultaneously view the anchor screen and the exterior scene, the anchor terminal sends the target video screen and the live broadcast to the server in real time. And identifying, so that the server determines to view all the audience users of the anchor live broadcast according to the live broadcast identifier, and sends the target video screen to all the audience users. For the detailed process, see step 205 below.

It should be noted that, in order to improve the user experience, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a synthetic mode switching option on the live video broadcast page of the anchor terminal, and after the anchor user triggers the synthetic mode switching option, the synthetic mode switching instruction is triggered. The synthesis mode switching instruction indicates a combination of the first video picture and the second video picture. The composite mode switching option specifically includes two types, where the first switching option and the second switching option are used as an example, where the first switching option is used to instruct the anchor terminal to switch the first video picture and the second video picture. The display area is synthesized. That is, after the anchor terminal detects the triggering operation of the first switching option, from now on, the anchor terminal will take the first video picture taken by the front camera and the second picture taken by the rear camera based on the switched display area. The road video picture is synthesized according to the initial split screen mode to obtain a new target video picture and to the viewer terminal. Send a new target video screen. At the same time, the anchor terminal plays the second video picture in the display area of the original playing first video picture, and plays the first video picture in the display area of the original playing second video picture.

For example, referring to FIG. 2D and FIG. 2E, for the picture-in-picture mode, if the initial anchor terminal displays the first video picture in the main display area and the second video picture is displayed in the sub-display area, then After the anchor user clicks the first switching option, the anchor terminal displays the first video screen in the sub-display area, and displays the second video screen in the main display area. The area of the main display area is generally much larger than the area of the sub display area.

In another embodiment, in addition to the video picture being switchable between different display areas, embodiments of the present disclosure also support the process of switching video pictures between different split screen modes. Specifically, a second switching option of the split screen mode is provided on the live video page of the anchor terminal. The second switching option may be specifically composed of a drop-down list displaying a split screen mode and an OK button. After the anchor user selects a sub-list item in the drop-down list and clicks the OK button, the anchor terminal determines that the triggering operation of the second switching option is detected, and determines the split screen mode indicated by the sub-item as the target split screen mode; Initially, the anchor terminal synthesizes the first video picture and the second video picture according to the target split mode, obtains a new target video picture, and transmits a new target video picture to the viewer terminal. In addition, each of the split screen modes may also be associated with a single switching option, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, referring to FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, if the initial anchor terminal displays the target video screen as shown in FIG. 2B, after the anchor user clicks the second switching option, the anchor terminal will view the first video screen and the second time. The frequency picture is synthesized by the up and down split mode shown in Fig. 2C, so that the picture shown in Fig. 2C is displayed on the anchor terminal.

In step 205, after receiving the target video picture and the live broadcast identifier, the server determines the audience user identifier associated with the live broadcast identifier, and transmits the target video screen to the viewer terminal based on the viewer user identifier.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for a live broadcast room, the server generally stores a live broadcast standard. The correspondence between the user identification and the viewer user identification is recorded to facilitate recording of the viewer user watching the live broadcast of the live video. Therefore, after receiving the identifier of the live broadcast, the server may determine the audience user identifier associated with the live broadcast identifier according to the corresponding relationship, and deliver the target video screen to all audience users in the live broadcast room.

In step 206, after receiving the target video picture sent by the server, the audience terminal determines the split screen mode used when the target video picture is synthesized, and plays the target video picture on the live video page according to the split mode.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the target video picture sent by the anchor terminal, if the target video picture is synthesized according to the left and right split screen mode, the audience terminal may be displayed on the live video page as shown in FIG. 2B. The first display area plays the first video picture, and the second display area plays the second video picture. Optionally, the first display area is located to the left of the second display area.

If the target video picture is synthesized according to the upper and lower split screen modes, the viewer terminal plays the first video picture in the third display area of the live video page and the second video in the fourth display area, as shown in FIG. 2C. Picture. Optionally, the third display area is located above the fourth display area.

If the target video picture is synthesized according to the picture-in-picture mode, the viewer terminal plays the first video picture in the fifth display area of the live video page and the second video in the sixth display area as shown in FIG. 2D. Picture. Optionally, the sixth display area is located in the fifth display area.

It should be noted that the display mode of the target video screen by the audience terminal is the same as that of the anchor terminal, so that the live video displayed by the anchor terminal and the audience terminal is consistent. For example, the screen displayed on the left side of the anchor terminal is the same as the screen displayed on the left side of the viewer terminal. This assumes that the anchor user notifies the viewer user to pay attention to something that appears in the left picture, and there is no situation where the viewer user needs to find it on the right side of the screen.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the anchor terminal can activate the front camera and the rear camera to perform video capture of the dual camera, and the first video image captured by the front camera and the second video image captured by the rear camera. Performing synthesis to display a target video picture covering the picture taken by the front and rear cameras, and supporting the transmission of the target video picture to the viewer terminal, so that the audience terminal is also synchronized Play the target video screen, so you can complete the display of the anchor screen and the exterior scene at the same time, overcoming the fact that the anchor can't display the exterior when you want to show yourself, but you can't show your own defects when you want to show the location, the live broadcast is better. The user is sticky.
