Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments that can be derived from the embodiments given herein by a person of ordinary skill in the art are intended to be within the scope of the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the application, a corresponding improvement scheme is mainly provided for an application scene of providing live broadcast media content through an internet platform, for example, for a 'double 11' evening meeting, live broadcast can be performed through a related television station generally, and meanwhile, synchronous live broadcast on the internet can be provided for a user through systems such as 'Tianmao' and 'Taobao mobile phone' and the like. That is, the user can watch live evening through the television, and can watch live evening through the client of applications such as "Tianmao", "Taobao" and the like installed in terminal equipment such as a mobile phone and the like. In the scheme of live broadcast through the Internet, the live broadcast scheme in the prior art can be improved.

Specifically, in the process of providing live media content through the internet, in addition to providing a signal source which is the same as the content played in a television station, more signal sources can be provided through other visual angles, so that the signal sources are used as supplements of television signal sources, and a user can obtain more comprehensive information from other visual angles. For example, a perspective of looking at the stage from the front of the auditorium, a perspective of looking down in the air using a drone, a "dog-team" perspective, and so on may be included. In addition, a background perspective may be provided, the primary content may be interview content accepted in the background immediately before the star is shown in the foreground and after the performance is completed, and so on. If the content identical to the content played in the television station is the main line live media content, the content corresponding to other viewing angles can be called the branch line live media content. That is to say, for the live event such as the same evening, more comprehensive and complete information can be provided through a plurality of visual angles, and the user can freely switch between different visual angles during the watching process. Therefore, the user can select a favorite visual angle by himself instead of receiving live content completely passively, and can obtain more comprehensive, three-dimensional and personalized watching experience by switching different visual angles.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, there is a difference between a main line and a branch line between various signal sources, where a main line live broadcast media content is mainly the same content as a signal source live broadcast by a television station, and generally, the main line live broadcast media content can be played by default, and then switched to the branch line when a user needs it. That is, although the media contents of the branch lines are equal to each other, the main line and the branch lines are not equal to each other, and the main line is always the main line and the branch lines are always the branch lines, regardless of whether the media contents are currently played. In other words, even if the user switches to one of the branches for playing, the played content can only be called as live media content of the branch, and will not become the main line due to switching to the foreground for playing, and correspondingly, the main line will not become the branch line due to not playing temporarily.

From the perspective of system architecture, referring to fig. 1, the embodiment of the present application may be divided into a server, a first client, a second client, and the like, where the first client is mainly a client provided for a user, and is used to provide playing of live media content at a front end, and interact with the user, including switching between different viewing angles, and the like. The server is used for providing data support of the back end, including providing video signals of various visual angles, returning search results to the client in the interaction process, and the like. The second client is mainly a client provided for the signal provider, that is, for each branch signal, the second client can enter related information, including a preview of a specific program in a certain branch, or a notification of a hot spot being played, and the like, and the entered information can be submitted to the server and provided or pushed to the first client by the server.

Specific implementations are described in detail below.

Example one

Specifically, referring to fig. 2, a first embodiment of the present application provides a method for providing live media content from a perspective of a server, where the method may specifically include:

s201: the server side obtains main line live broadcast media content and at least one branch line live broadcast media content;

as described above, the main line live broadcast content may specifically come from a conventional live broadcast signal source such as a television station, that is, one or more stations may be deployed at a live broadcast site of a program such as a evening party to acquire video signals, and the video signals are transmitted to a television terminal for playing through a satellite and the like under the command of personnel such as a live director and the like; in the embodiment of the application, in the process that the user watches the live broadcasting in the evening party through the first client, the main line live broadcasting video content can be the same as the content played in the television. And the at least one spur live media content may include: the live media content is obtained by shooting live media from a plurality of different viewing angles, that is, the live media content is used for supplementing the live media content from a preset viewing angle. The term "supplement" as used herein may include a supplement from a viewpoint, or may also include a supplement from a content, and the like. For example, if the spur content is provided in the air at the evening scene, or in the "dog team" perspective, etc., the main live content is supplemented from another perspective, and if the spur content is provided in the background at the evening, it can be regarded as being supplemented from the content perspective. In specific implementation, the shooting position points can be arranged for all branches at various different positions in advance, and signals collected by all cameras can be used as signal sources of live broadcast media contents of all branches.

S202: providing main line live broadcast media content and related information of the branch line live broadcast media content to a first client, so that the first client plays the main line live broadcast media content in a playing interface, and providing at least one switching entrance corresponding to the branch line live broadcast media content in the playing interface according to the related information.

In a specific implementation, in a default state, the first client may first provide main-line live media content in the interface, and at this time, the media content that the user sees on a terminal device such as a mobile phone and the like may be the same as the late-meeting live content that the user sees on a television. A switch entry corresponding to at least one of the spur live media content may be provided in the interface. Therefore, the server can provide the main line live media content and the related information of the branch line live media content to the first client side in the default state. That is, in a default state, the specific live media content of each leg may not be provided for a while, but only relevant information, and subsequently provided when a request to switch to a target leg is specifically received.

The related information about the live media content in the branch line may specifically include: the branch line identification information may specifically be determined according to a view angle corresponding to the branch line live broadcast media content, for example, "branch line main view angle", "unmanned aerial vehicle view angle", and the like. In addition, the related information may also include information of hot content that the branch is about to or playing, and so on. The information about the hot content and the like may be submitted by the second client, or may be determined according to a schedule and the like stored in the server in advance. The first client may use this information to provide a specific leg switch entry.

In particular, since there are usually multiple branches, there are many different implementations when providing a switching entry. For example, in one implementation, a "general entry" may be provided, which may be referred to as a first switch entry in this embodiment, and through this first switch entry, a branch line selection interface may be switched to, from which a user may select branch line media content that needs to be viewed specifically. Alternatively, a second switch entry may also be provided for going to a particular leg of the live media content playback interface, and so on. In a specific implementation, as shown in fig. 3, the two types of switching entries may exist simultaneously, where the "branch trunk entry" 301 corresponds to the first switching entry, and the "branch direct entry" 302 corresponds to the second switching entry. Alternatively, only one type of switching entry may be provided in the main line interface.

In a preferred embodiment, the different types of switching entries may be displayed as follows: the first switching entry may be always present, and the second switching entry may provide the second switching entry with respect to a corresponding branch line in the main line playing interface only when a certain hot media content is being played or is about to be played in a certain branch line, so that a user can directly enter the interface of the branch line for viewing. That is, the branch line corresponding to the second switching entry is a branch line that is about to or currently playing the hot content. For example, if a visit about an entertainment star is about to be or is being played in a branch line at a certain time, the content can be used as hot content, so that a second switching entry about the branch line can be provided in the main line playing interface, and in addition, the hot media content can be prompted at a position such as the vicinity of the second switching entry to guide the user to enter the branch line for watching. If the hot media content is to be played or is being played in different branch lines at a certain moment, second switching entries corresponding to a plurality of different branch lines can be provided in the main line playing interface at the same time, and the like. The definition of the specific hot media content may be set in advance at the server, or there is a related operator to perform manual configuration, and so on.

After receiving a specific switching request, the server may send the live media content of the branch line to the first client, so that the first client may switch to the corresponding branch line from the main line interface to play. Specifically, if a switching instruction is received through the first switching inlet, the server may first provide a branch line selection interface, which includes a plurality of selectable branch line information, and after one of the target branch lines is selected, provide a branch line live broadcast media content corresponding to the target branch line, so that the first client switches to the target branch line for playing.

In particular, the entries to each branch may be presented in a variety of ways in the branch selection interface, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the optional branch information may be provided by way of a banner roll. In addition, the spur information in the spur selection interface may further include hot content information about the spur to be played or currently being played, and these hot contents may also help the user to select the spur. If there is no hot content currently being played or no hot content to be played in a branch line, specific view angle information can be prompted, and the like. In the concrete implementation, operation options can be provided for each selectable branch line, and the operation options corresponding to each branch line are arranged in the branch line selection interface according to the relative position relationship between the shooting position points corresponding to each branch line. As shown in fig. 4, the area where each number is located may be used as an operation option corresponding to a branch line, the operation options are uneven in the floating layer, and the respective positions are determined according to the relative relationship between the imaging position points of the respective corresponding branch lines, so that when a user selects a branch line through the interface, the user may refer to the names and other identifiers of the branch lines, and may select the branch line according to the specific position, so that the viewing angle corresponding to each branch line is more intuitive.

In addition, if the operation request is received through the second switching entry, the server may first determine a target branch line corresponding to the second switching entry, and provide a branch line corresponding to the target branch line for live broadcasting of media content, so that the first client may switch to the target branch line for playing. Specifically, since the second switching entry corresponds to a specific branch line, after receiving the switching request through the switching entry, the second switching entry directly enters the branch line to play the live media content.

In addition, in an optional embodiment of the present application, in order to enable a user to obtain a better viewing experience, a virtual admission certificate may be provided to the user in advance before the late party live broadcast formally starts, for example, the user enters a late party live broadcast interface in the client, so that a corresponding admission certificate may be obtained, and may specifically exist in the form of an invitation letter, an electronic ticket, and the like. When the live broadcasting is about to start, a special effect of a virtual admission ceremony can be provided through a client interface, and a special visual angle when the user watches the mainline live broadcasting media content is simulated. That is, the user can be given the experience of actually entering the evening scene and being placed in a certain seat of the auditorium by the entrance ceremony. In specific implementation, a video for representing an entrance ceremony can be recorded in advance, and the front end of the client can realize the playing of the virtual entrance ceremony by executing a page of H5 and the like. After the entrance is finished and a special visual angle is provided for the user, a playing interface of the main line live broadcast media content of the evening party can be provided by default. Before switching to the corresponding branch live broadcast media content for playing, a special effect of view angle switching can be provided to simulate the process that the position of a user changes in the field. That is, after the user chooses to switch to a branch line, the user may be given the experience of "flying" from one location to another, with the resulting change in viewing angle so that the content viewed in the interface may be different.

In a preferred embodiment of the present application, an operation option for calling an interaction module may be provided in a playing interface of the live media content in the branch line, so that the user interacts with the interaction module in the process of watching the live media content in the branch line. For example, as shown at 501 in fig. 5, a specific operation option may be displayed as an avatar similar to a robot, and a corresponding interaction model may implement a function similar to an artificial intelligence AI robot, specifically, may interact with a user, including performing a text conversation and a voice conversation, and may also push some other information related to a specific evening to the user, and so on. Therefore, the interaction module can partially replace the function of the host of the evening party, and in addition, the specific questions can be answered for the user, so that the user can more conveniently obtain more and more complete information which is related to the specific live media content and is desired to be obtained by the user.

In specific implementation, the interaction module may be mainly configured to receive a text or voice input from a user, search according to a pre-established knowledge base related to the live media content, and output response information according to a search result. Where the user entered text or voice input is typically used to ask questions about the particular live media content, such as when an entertainment star appears, or information about particular data objects appearing in the live media content, etc. The server of the interactive module can pre-store a knowledge base related to the live media content, including program schedules in each branch line, information of related data objects, and the like, and in addition, the server can also have a semantic recognition function, that is, the interactive module can 'understand' the question asked by the user, and then, can search based on the knowledge base to obtain a specific search result. Certainly, in specific implementation, different users may have the same or similar questions, so the server may also perform recognition of the similarity of the questions first, and in the case of finding that the similarity is similar to a certain question that has been answered before, the server may provide a response directly according to a search result corresponding to the question without searching in a knowledge base, thereby improving efficiency and response speed.

In particular, the manner in which the responsive information is provided may vary depending on the type of information contained in the particular search results. For example, if the search result includes text-type information, the text-type information may be output in a playing interface of the live media content by popping up a text bubble. Or, in the case that the search result includes text information, the text information may be output in a voice broadcast manner. During specific implementation, specifically, whether to pop up a text bubble or to broadcast a voice, may correspond to a question asking mode of the user, for example, if a question input by the user is a text type question, when a response is returned, the text bubble may be provided; and if the user asks questions by voice, the questions can be provided by voice playing when the response is returned, and the like. During specific implementation, under the condition of voice broadcast, the audio signal in the live media content of the branch line can be paused to be output, so that a user can be ensured to clearly listen to specific playing content. Certainly, in the specific implementation, under the condition of adopting voice broadcast, the corresponding text can also be provided in the form of text bubbles, so that the user can obtain answers corresponding to questions asked by the user through various ways.

In addition, in a specific implementation, the search result may further include link address type information, and at this time, the link address type information may be output in a playing interface of the live-cast media content in a manner of popping up a jump bubble, so that when a click operation on the jump bubble is received, the jump is performed according to the link address. For example, if the question asked by the user is information about a data object, the search result may include information about the link address of the particular data object. The data object may specifically be a commodity object, a shop object, or the like. That is, in a scene of practical application, since a specific live media content may be co-located with a specific network sales platform, etc., a variety of specific data objects may be associated in the live broadcast process, for example, data objects displayed on a scene of a late meeting, such as specific actors, etc., so that if a user needs to purchase, know details, etc., a specific detail page may be skipped through the interaction model, and various types of operations, such as specific browsing, adding a "shopping cart", collecting, purchasing, etc., may be performed based on the detail page.

Besides the text or voice interaction with the user, the interaction module can also be used for providing information pushed by the server side in the live-wire media content playing interface. That is to say, some related information may also be pushed to the user through the interaction module, for example, in the specific implementation, the information pushed by the server may specifically include: information pushed according to a pre-configured schedule. That is to say, the message push list can be established in advance according to the time dimension, and thus, after the specific live broadcast starts, the message push list can be displayed in a specific live broadcast interface through an interactive model. Different branches can correspond to different message push lists, that is, since specific display conditions in different branches are different, emphasis points may also be different, and therefore, in each different branch interface, information pushed by the server may also be different. In addition, the information pushed by the interactive module can also be information which is inserted by an operator in real time and is related to the live media content. That is, if some information in a certain branch is temporarily generated, the information can be inserted into a message push list of the branch and displayed in a live interface of the corresponding branch through an interaction module.

Specifically, the information pushed by the server may include various information, for example, information of a data object related to the live media content, where the data object includes a commodity object or a store object. Specifically, the method can be provided in the form of a jump bubble, so that a user can obtain recommendation information and the like of some related data objects even if the user does not actively initiate an inquiry on the data objects in the process of watching the live media content. Or, the information pushed by the server may also include: the live media content is supplemented with descriptive information so that the user can also learn more about the live content, e.g., the introduction of a particular performer, etc., while watching the live content. Furthermore, the information pushed by the server can also be forecast information of media content to be played, for example, a certain performer will be on the spot, and the like. The forecast information may include forecast information of media content to be broadcast in the current branch, or may also be forecast information of hot media content to be broadcast in other branches.

In addition, besides providing the information pushed by the server, the interaction module may be further configured to: and if the interactive operation of the user is not received within the preset time length, providing a guidance prompt message. For example, assuming that the user remains silent for 2 minutes all the time, without any interaction with the interaction model, the user may be prompted to: "Yita, what you feel about this program? Is it nice to look? ", and the like.

Moreover, the interaction module can also be used for switching to a specified target branch line for playing according to a branch line switching instruction input by a user. That is to say, the user can also perform a branch line switching operation through the interactive module, as described above, the interactive module can also provide a hotspot information forecast and the like about other viewing angles, and therefore, if the user needs to be interested in other viewing angles, a corresponding switching instruction can be issued through the interactive module. During specific implementation, the switching instruction may be a voice instruction, the voice instruction includes keyword information associated with the target branch line, for example, the user may yell to a mobile phone microphone: the interactive model can identify the intention of the user, determine a target branch line to which the user needs to switch according to keywords such as 'some' and the like included in the intention, and then perform specific switching operation.

In summary, according to the embodiment of the present application, in the process of providing the main live media content, live media content of at least one branch line can be provided for a user, and a switching entry for switching to the branch line can be provided in the play interface of the main line, so that when an operation request is received through the switching entry, the live media content of the corresponding branch line is switched to play. By the method, other branches can be freely selected to watch in the process of watching the live media content, so that the user obtains certain initiative, and the user can obtain more complete and comprehensive information through watching of a plurality of different media contents, so that the site feeling and participation feeling of the user are improved, and the watching experience of the user is improved.

Example two

s601: a first client receives main line live broadcast media content and related information of at least one branch line live broadcast media content provided by a server;

s602: and playing main line live broadcast media content in a playing interface, and providing a switching entrance corresponding to at least one branch line live broadcast media content in the playing interface according to the related information.

In a specific implementation, the live media content in the branch may specifically be: supplementing the mainline live media content from a preset view angle.

The switching entry comprises a first switching entry, and at this time, when an operation request is received through the first switching entry, a branch line selection interface is provided, wherein the branch line selection interface comprises a plurality of selectable branch line information; after one target branch line is selected, the live broadcast media content of the branch line corresponding to the target branch line is obtained from the server side and switched to the target branch line for playing.

Wherein, in the branch line selection interface, the selectable branch line information can be provided through a banner and long-roll type floating layer. In an optional implementation manner, in the floating layer, each selectable branch line corresponds to one operation option, and the operation options are arranged according to a relative position relationship between the imaging position points corresponding to the branch lines.

In another case, the switching entry may include a second switching entry for directly reaching one of the branches, and at this time, when the first client receives the operation request through the second switching entry, the first client may further obtain live media content of the corresponding branch through the server, and switch to the corresponding branch for playing.

In addition, the first client can also provide an operation option for calling an interaction module in a playing interface of the live-cast media content so that a user can interact with the interaction module in the process of watching the live-cast media content. Wherein, the interaction module can also be used for: and providing information pushed by the server. Or, the method can also be used for switching to a specified target branch line for playing according to a branch line switching instruction input by a user. The switching instruction can be a voice instruction, and the voice instruction comprises keyword information associated with the target branch line.

Since the second embodiment corresponds to the first embodiment, reference may be made to the implementation in the first embodiment for a related specific implementation, which is not described herein again.
