Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of live streaming technology, and in particular to a method, system, terminal, and storage medium for pushing live stream footage to remote locations for fusion. Background Technology

[0002] Live streaming utilizes computer networks to transmit multimedia data from the broadcaster's device to online viewers in real time, allowing for real-time information interaction between the broadcaster and viewers. Due to factors such as continuously improving internet speeds and the richness of content available in live streaming programs, it has become increasingly popular.

[0003] In existing online live streaming, the influence of the streamer is significant. Typically, top streamers bring far more traffic than store streamers. Therefore, merchants need to use methods such as live streaming with top streamers and store streamers interacting on the same screen to drive traffic. However, in traditional live streaming with the same screen, top streamers and store streamers must be on the same screen. Top streamers cannot be in two places at the same time to stream with multiple store streamers. Therefore, the number of streamers that top streamers can interact with at the same time is limited. They cannot fully cater to store streamers in different locations. In addition, there are many store streamers with varying levels of skill, resulting in a poor viewing experience for viewers. Store streamers cannot drive better traffic through professionalism by streaming independently.

[0004] Therefore, a method is needed that can achieve single-anchor-to-multiple-network-point push and realize live interaction at a low cost. Summary of the Invention

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or end that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or ends.

[0040] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0041] This invention discloses a method, system, terminal, and storage medium for pushing live stream footage to multiple locations for fusion. First, a top anchor conducts a live stream from headquarters using video recording equipment to generate a first video frame. The video recording equipment directly uploads the first video frame to a cloud server. The cloud server, based on the required push address of the remote live streaming all-in-one machine, pushes the first video frame to the live streaming all-in-one machine. Store anchors then conduct their live streams, generating a second video frame. The live streaming all-in-one machine uses keying or picture-in-picture techniques to fuse the footage of the top anchor with that of anchors from different locations, forming a virtual video frame. This virtual video frame is then streamed to a live streaming platform. This invention enables the simultaneous push of a single top anchor's footage to multiple locations. Each location's live stream only shows the top anchor and the local store anchors, allowing for simultaneous interaction with multiple locations while avoiding the poor viewing experience caused by too many anchors on screen. It conveniently achieves the effect of single-anchor, multi-location push. Detailed explanations follow.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for pushing live stream footage to a remote location for fusion, as disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method for pushing live stream footage to a remote location fusion site may include the following operations:

[0044] 101. Collect the signal from the video shooting device, acquire the first video frame, and upload the first video frame to the cloud server;

[0045] The video shooting device can be a live streaming all-in-one machine or a mobile phone, etc., capable of video shooting, software downloading, and information streaming. It is understood that this video shooting device is mainly used to shoot videos and stream them to a cloud server. Optionally, if the video shooting device is configured as a mobile phone, when uploading video footage from a different location to the cloud server, the following steps are also included: binding at least one streaming address through a built-in streaming app; the cloud server pushes the first video frame to the live streaming all-in-one machine in the different location according to the streaming address. In another optional embodiment, if the video shooting device is configured as a local live streaming all-in-one machine, when uploading video footage from a different location to the cloud server, the following steps are also included: binding at least one streaming address through a WeChat mini-program in the local live streaming all-in-one machine; the cloud server pushes the first video frame to the live streaming all-in-one machine in the different location according to the streaming address. Multiple live streaming methods facilitate top streamers to conduct live streaming in a richer and more diverse live streaming environment.

[0046] The 102 cloud server obtains the streaming address of at least one remote live streaming device. Based on the streaming address, the cloud server distributes the first video image to the remote live streaming device. The input of the streaming address is mainly selected by the video shooting device. After the streaming address is bound, it will be saved in the corresponding streaming path. The broadcaster can choose to turn the media stream push on or off through the video shooting device.

[0047] 103 remote live streaming all-in-one machines acquire the second video frame and merge the first video frame with the second video frame to generate a virtual video frame;

[0048] In this embodiment, the fusion of the first and second video frames mainly involves displaying the first and second video frames simultaneously in a virtual video frame using a picture-in-picture format. Under this fusion method, a video call-like frame is generated in the virtual video frame, and the portraits and backgrounds in both the first and second video frames are preserved, improving the flexibility of the live broadcast and helping the host to conduct interactive segments such as environmental demonstrations.

[0049] In another preferred embodiment, the human figures in the first and second video frames are extracted using lens cutout and placed within a virtual video frame. It is understood that the human figures in the first video frame can be extracted separately and overlaid on the original background of the second video frame, or vice versa.

[0050] 104 specifies at least one live streaming platform for the remote live streaming all-in-one machine and pushes the virtual video screen to the live streaming platform.

[0051] Preferably, when generating virtual video frames, adjustments can also be made through interactive commands. These interactive commands include adjusting the proportion of the first or second video frame in the virtual video frame and adjusting the stacking order of the first and second video frames in the virtual video frame.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a more detailed flowchart of the method for pushing live broadcast footage to a remote location for fusion in this embodiment.

[0053] The embodiments of the present invention have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0054] (1) It has enabled a top anchor to interact with anchors from multiple locations, effectively increasing the traffic of anchors from different locations.

[0055] (2) It fully integrates the images of top anchors and store anchors, avoiding the traditional situation of multiple anchors on the same screen, and improving the audience experience.

[0056] It is evident that implementation Figure 1The described method for pushing and merging live stream footage across different locations involves the following steps: First, a top anchor conducts a live stream from headquarters using video recording equipment to generate a first video frame. This first video frame is then directly uploaded to a cloud server. The cloud server, based on the required push address of the live streaming all-in-one machine in a different location, pushes the first video frame to the live streaming all-in-one machine. Store anchors then conduct their own live streams, generating a second video frame. The live streaming all-in-one machine uses keying or picture-in-picture techniques to merge the footage of the top anchor with that of anchors from different locations, creating a virtual video frame. This virtual video frame is then streamed to the live streaming platform. This invention enables the simultaneous push of a single top anchor's footage to multiple locations. Each location's live stream only features the top anchor and the local store anchors, allowing for simultaneous interaction with multiple locations while avoiding the poor viewing experience caused by too many anchors on screen. This conveniently achieves the effect of pushing a single anchor to multiple locations.
