Embodiment Construction

[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] figure 1 The flow chart of adding special effects in video communication provided by the embodiment of the present invention, such as figure 1 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0035] Step 101: Save all special effect data on each video client, and each special effect data has a unique identifier.

[0036] The special effect data is usually an image data with mask or alpha plane.

[0037] The special effect data saved on each video client can include two types:

[0038] 1. General special effect data, that is, special effect data to be saved by each video client.

[0039] 2. Custom special effect data, that is, the unique personalized special effect data customized by the video client.

[0040] The identifier of the special effect data may include a type identifier, which is used to indicate whether the specia...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for adding special effect in video communication and a video client side thereof. The method disclosed by the invention comprises the steps that: special effect data are preserved at the video client side, and each special effect datum has unique identification; when an original video client side adds the special effect for the video data to be sent, the special effect identification, specific effect position information and the video data are sent to a target video client side which then searches for the special effect datum according to the special effect data identification and adds the special effect datum into the video data according to the special effect position information. The method disclosed by the invention needs not to transmit the special effect data together with the video data every time, thus reducing transmitted data quantity and saving network bandwidth; in addition, the further reduction of the transmitted data quantity and the saving of the network bandwidth can be realized by hollowing-out the special effect position of the video data or setting the special effect position into the same pixel value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of video communication, in particular to a method for adding special effects in video communication and a video client. Background technique [0002] At present, there are many instant messaging software (IM) such as: QQ, MSN, etc. that can provide a video chat function. When two users use the video chat function, the system collects the user's image in real time through the camera and sends it to the other party. In this way, the amount of video data transmitted on the network is very large, which requires high network bandwidth. [0003] In order to meet the individual needs of users during video chatting, existing video chatting tools all provide special effects adding functions, for example: users can add special effects in video images, such as: adding emoticon special effects, adding personalized picture special effects. Special effect image data is a kind of redundancy for video image compression, w...
