Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computers, and specifically to a method, apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and electronic device for displaying virtual character nicknames. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of computer technology, communication via the internet is becoming increasingly convenient, and live streaming, as a form of online interaction, has been widely used in shopping, entertainment, and learning. Among these, live streaming that primarily focuses on the gameplay can be termed game live streaming.

[0003] In the process of researching and practicing existing technologies, the inventors of this application discovered that in the current game live streaming ecosystem, based on the relationship between the streamer and the viewer, many viewers like to enter the matchmaking pool when the streamer starts matchmaking, so as to be matched with the streamer in the same game, interact, and appear on camera. However, in existing technologies, even if a viewer is matched with a streamer, it is difficult for the streamer and other viewers to know that they have been matched with a viewer in the live stream. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method, apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and electronic device for displaying virtual character nicknames, which allows the streamer and viewers in the live broadcast room to clearly know the viewers the streamer has matched with in the live broadcast room.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for displaying virtual character nicknames, applied to a game server, includes:

[0007] In response to the matching operation of the streamer for the streamer's virtual character, a query request for the virtual character nicknames of the viewers in the live room corresponding to the streamer is sent to the live streaming server.

[0008] Receive the virtual character nicknames of the viewers from the live streaming server;

[0009] When the virtual character corresponding to the streamer is matched into a game, obtain the candidate virtual character nicknames of other candidate virtual characters in the game besides the streamer's virtual character;

[0010] Select the target virtual character nickname that matches the audience's virtual character nickname from the candidate virtual character nicknames, add a first nickname style to the target virtual character nickname, and display it in the game.

[0011] A method for displaying virtual character nicknames, applied to a live streaming server, includes:

[0012] Receive a user account's game account binding request and bind a game account to the user account;

[0013] The identity of the user account is determined. If the user account is a streamer, the user account is identified as a streamer account, and the game account is sent to the game server, triggering the game server to identify the virtual character under the game account as a streamer virtual character.

[0014] A virtual character nickname display device, used in a game server, includes:

[0015] The first sending module is used to respond to the matching operation of the anchor for the anchor's virtual character and send a query request for the virtual character nickname of the audience in the live room corresponding to the anchor to the live streaming server.

[0016] The first receiving module is used to receive the virtual character nicknames of the viewers fed back by the live streaming server;

[0017] The first acquisition module is used to acquire the candidate virtual character nicknames of candidate virtual characters other than the streamer's virtual character in the game when the streamer's virtual character is matched into a game match.

[0018] The first adding module is used to filter out target virtual character nicknames that match the audience's virtual character nicknames from the candidate virtual character nicknames, add a first nickname style to the target virtual character nickname, and display it in the game.

[0019] A virtual character nickname display device, used in a live streaming server, includes:

[0020] The second receiving module is used to receive a user account's game account binding request and bind a game account to the user account.

[0021] The first determining module is used to determine the account identity of the user account. If the account identity of the user account is a streamer, the user account is determined to be a streamer account, and the game account is sent to the game server, triggering the game server to determine the virtual character under the game account as the streamer virtual character.

[0022] A computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions adapted for loading by a processor to perform the steps in the virtual character nickname display method described above.

[0023] An electronic device includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the steps in the virtual character nickname display method described above.

[0024] This application embodiment, in response to a streamer's matching operation for a streamer's virtual character, sends a query request for the virtual character nicknames of viewers in the streamer's corresponding live broadcast room to the live broadcast server; receives the virtual character nicknames of viewers from the live broadcast server; when the streamer's virtual character is matched into a game match, obtains the candidate virtual character nicknames of other candidate virtual characters in the game match besides the streamer's virtual character; filters out the target virtual character nickname that matches the viewer's virtual character nickname from the candidate virtual character nicknames, adds a first nickname style to the target virtual character nickname, and displays it in the game match. Thus, by adding a first nickname style to viewer virtual characters matched with the streamer's virtual character in the same game match, the streamer and viewers in the live broadcast room can identify the viewer matched into the live broadcast room through the first nickname style during the streamer's live broadcast.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] This application provides a method, apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and electronic device for displaying virtual character nicknames.

[0037] Please see Figure 1a , Figure 1a This is a schematic diagram of a virtual character nickname display system provided in an embodiment of this application. The system may include at least one client 1000, at least one game server 2000, at least one live streaming server 3000, at least one database 4000, and a network 5000. The client 1000 can be a computer device such as a mobile phone, tablet, or personal digital assistant. Various business programs, such as live streaming applications, game applications, and image viewing applications, can be installed on the client 1000. The game server 2000 and the live streaming server 3000 can establish a connection with the client 1000 through the network 5000. Users can stream the game application by opening the live streaming application on the client 1000. The network 5000 can be a wireless network or a wired network, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN), local area network (LAN), cellular network, 2G network, 3G network, 4G network, 5G network, etc. Similarly, the game server 2000 and the live streaming server 3000 also establish a connection through the network 5000. In addition, the system may include a database 4000, which can be used to store information such as the user's live streaming account and game account.

[0038] This application provides a method for displaying virtual character nicknames, which can be executed by an electronic device. For example... Figure 1aAs shown, the game server 2000 responds to the streamer's matching operation for the streamer's virtual character by sending a query request for the virtual character nicknames of viewers in the streamer's corresponding live room to the live streaming server; it receives the virtual character nicknames of viewers from the live streaming server; when the streamer's virtual character is matched into a game match, it obtains the candidate virtual character nicknames of other candidate virtual characters in the game match besides the streamer's virtual character; it filters out the target virtual character nickname that matches the viewer's virtual character nickname from the candidate virtual character nicknames, adds a first nickname style to the target virtual character nickname, and displays it in the game match. Thus, by adding a first nickname style to the viewer virtual characters matched with the streamer's virtual character in the same game match, the streamer and the viewers in the live room can identify the viewer matched into the live room through the first nickname style during the streamer's live broadcast.

[0039] It should be noted that, Figure 1a The schematic diagram of the virtual character nickname display system shown is merely an example. The virtual character nickname display system and scenario described in this application embodiment are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of this application embodiment and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in this application embodiment. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of the virtual character nickname display system and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in this application embodiment are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0040] In this embodiment, the description will be from the perspective of a virtual character nickname display device, which can be integrated into an electronic device that has a storage unit and a microprocessor and thus computing power.

[0041] Please see Figure 1b , Figure 1b This is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying virtual character nicknames provided in an embodiment of this application. The method includes:

[0042] In step 101, in response to the matching operation of the anchor for the anchor's virtual character, a query request for the virtual character nicknames of the viewers in the live room corresponding to the anchor is sent to the live streaming server.

[0043] Specifically, when the game server detects that a streamer is using a streamer's virtual character to start matchmaking, it sends a viewer virtual character nickname query request to the live streaming server. This viewer virtual character nickname query request is used to query the viewer virtual character nicknames of viewers in the streamer's corresponding live streaming room.

[0044] Specifically, the matching operation performed by the streamer when starting matchmaking can be a touch operation on the matchmaking control in the game interface within the streamer's client, such as clicking or long-pressing, or it can be a control operation on the matchmaking control using a mouse, keyboard, or external physical controller. There are no restrictions here.

[0045] In some implementations, before the step of sending a query request for the virtual character nicknames of viewers in the live streaming room corresponding to the streamer to the live streaming server, the method further includes:

[0046] (1) When the virtual character of the streamer corresponding to the streamer is detected to be online, a live streaming status query request is sent to the live streaming server. The live streaming status query request is used to query whether the streamer account corresponding to the virtual character of the streamer is in a live streaming state.

[0047] (2) Receive the request result of the live streaming server for the live streaming status query request. If the request result indicates that the streamer account is in a live streaming state, then execute the step of sending a query request to the live streaming server for the virtual character nickname of the audience in the live streaming room corresponding to the streamer.

[0048] The purpose of sending a request to the live streaming server to query the virtual character nicknames of viewers in the streamer's corresponding live room is to add a first nickname style to the virtual characters of viewers matched with the streamer's virtual character in the same game. This allows the streamer and viewers to identify matched viewers during the stream. However, if the streamer's matching operation for their virtual character is not in a live streaming state, this step will also not be performed while the stream is not live, and viewers will not be able to see other viewers matched with the streamer in the same game. Therefore, to reduce information transmission between the game server and the live streaming server and improve server network bandwidth and utilization, a live streaming status query request can be sent from the game server to the live streaming server before performing this step to check whether the streamer's corresponding account is currently live.

[0049] Specifically, if a request result for the live streaming status query request is received from the live streaming server, and the request result indicates that the streamer's account is in a live streaming state, then the step of sending a query request to the live streaming server for the virtual character nicknames of the viewers in the live streaming room corresponding to the streamer is executed.

[0050] In some implementations, the step of sending a query request to the live streaming server for the virtual character nicknames of viewers in the live streaming room corresponding to the streamer includes:

[0051] Send a query request for viewer virtual character nicknames, including the virtual character nickname of the streamer, to the live streaming server, triggering the live streaming server to return the viewer virtual character nicknames of the viewers in the live streaming room corresponding to the streamer based on the virtual character nickname of the streamer.

[0052] Since the game server triggers the live streaming server to respond with corresponding information through the viewer's virtual character nickname query request, the triggering condition requires that the viewer's virtual character nickname query request includes the streamer's virtual character nickname. After the live streaming server extracts the streamer's virtual character nickname from the received viewer's virtual character nickname query request, it returns the viewer's virtual character nickname in the live streaming room corresponding to the streamer based on the streamer's virtual character nickname.

[0053] In step 102, the virtual character nickname of the viewer is received from the live streaming server.

[0054] The live streaming server returns the virtual character nicknames of the viewers based on the virtual character nickname query request sent by the game server, so that the game server can receive the virtual character nicknames of the viewers fed back by the live streaming server.

[0055] In step 103, when the virtual character of the streamer is matched into a game, the candidate virtual character nicknames of the candidate virtual characters other than the streamer's virtual character are obtained in the game.

[0056] Specifically, when the virtual character corresponding to the streamer is matched into a game, the candidate virtual character nicknames of other candidate virtual characters in the game are obtained.

[0057] For example, in a game, there are three candidate virtual characters besides the streamer's virtual character. The candidate virtual character nicknames of the three candidates are A, B, and C.

[0058] In step 104, a target virtual character nickname that matches the audience's virtual character nickname is selected from the candidate virtual character nicknames, a first nickname style is added to the target virtual character nickname, and it is displayed in the game.

[0059] The process involves selecting target virtual character nicknames from the candidate virtual character nicknames that match the viewer's virtual character nickname; a match can be made with identical nicknames. Once a target virtual character nickname matching the viewer's virtual character nickname is selected, the game server adds a first nickname style to the target virtual character nickname on the streamer's client and displays it during the game.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 1c As shown, Figure 1cThis is a first schematic diagram of a graphical user interface provided in an embodiment of this application. The graphical user interface is presented on the screen of a broadcast client. Taking a first-person shooter (FPS) game as an example, the graphical user interface includes a virtual broadcaster object 10 controlled by the user, an aiming marker 20 indicating the aiming position of a virtual weapon in the user interface, a cursor control 30 indicating the current direction of the virtual object 10, a movement control 40 controlling the movement of the virtual broadcaster object 10 in a three-dimensional virtual environment, an aiming control 50 usable by the virtual broadcaster object 10 when attacking, a map control 60 indicating the location of the virtual broadcaster object 10 in the three-dimensional virtual environment, and an attack control 70 controlling the virtual broadcaster object 10 to perform attack operations in the three-dimensional virtual environment. The cursor control 30 also includes an indicator control 31 to indicate the direction of the first virtual object 10 within the cursor control 30. When the target virtual object 80 appears in the graphical user interface, a first nickname style is added to the target virtual character's nickname. This first nickname style can add words such as "Met a viewer" or "Met a friend" before the original target virtual character's nickname, so that the streamer can clearly know that the target virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the viewer in the live broadcast room. Furthermore, when the streamer's client is used as the main body of the live broadcast, the viewer in the live broadcast room can also know that the target virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the viewer in the live broadcast room through the first nickname style.

[0061] In some implementations, after the step of receiving the viewer's virtual character nickname from the live streaming server, the method further includes:

[0062] (1) Determine whether there are any candidate audience virtual characters among the audience virtual characters corresponding to the audience virtual character nicknames for matching;

[0063] (2) If so, when the candidate audience virtual character is matched into a game match, obtain the nicknames of other virtual characters in the game match other than the candidate audience virtual character;

[0064] (3) Match the nicknames of the other virtual characters with the nicknames of the virtual characters of the anchor and the virtual characters of the audience to obtain matching results;

[0065] (4) Based on the matching results, add a second nickname style to the other virtual character nicknames and display it in the game.

[0066] In this scenario, some viewers will also control their corresponding virtual characters to participate in matchmaking when the streamer initiates the match, hoping to be matched with the streamer in the same game. Therefore, after the game server receives the virtual character nicknames of the viewers from the live streaming server, it can determine whether there are any candidate virtual characters among the virtual characters corresponding to those nicknames. If there are candidate virtual characters, then when a candidate virtual character is matched into a game, the nicknames of the other virtual characters in the game besides the candidate virtual character are obtained.

[0067] For example, if the game match matched with the candidate audience virtual character includes two other virtual characters besides the candidate audience virtual character, then obtain the virtual character nicknames corresponding to these two other virtual characters, such as 1 and 2.

[0068] Specifically, by matching the nicknames of other virtual characters with the streamer's virtual character nickname and matching the nicknames of other virtual character nicknames with the nicknames of viewer virtual characters, it determines whether the game matches matched with the candidate viewer virtual character include the streamer virtual character and / or viewer virtual characters. Based on the matching results, a second nickname style is added to the nicknames of other virtual characters and displayed in the game matches.

[0069] In some implementations, the second nickname style includes a first sub-nickname style, and the step of adding a second nickname style to the other virtual character nicknames based on the matching result includes:

[0070] If the matching result is that there is a first other virtual character nickname that matches the streamer's virtual character nickname, then the first sub-nickname style is added to the first other virtual character nickname.

[0071] Among them, such as Figure 1d As shown, Figure 1d This is a second schematic diagram of a graphical user interface provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1d Compared to Figure 1c The difference is Figure 1d The graphical user interface is the viewer client that controls the candidate viewer virtual character 90. When the matching result shows that there is a first other virtual character nickname that matches the streamer's virtual character nickname, it means that the streamer virtual character 10 and the candidate viewer virtual character are matched in the same game. Therefore, a first sub-nickname style, which is part of the second nickname style, is added to the streamer's virtual character nickname (i.e., the first other virtual character nickname). The first sub-nickname style can be "Encounter Streamer" or "Encounter Streamer (Live Stream Platform Nickname)", for example, Encounter Streamer B, or Encounter B.

[0072] In some implementations, the second nickname style further includes a second sub-nickname style, and the step of adding a second nickname style to the other virtual character nicknames based on the matching result includes:

[0073] If the matching result is that there is a second virtual character nickname that matches the audience's virtual character nickname, then the second sub-nickname style is added to the second virtual character nickname.

[0074] Among them, such as Figure 1e As shown, Figure 1e This is a third schematic diagram of the graphical user interface provided in this application embodiment. When the matching result shows that there is a second virtual character nickname that matches the viewer's virtual character nickname, it indicates that the virtual character controlled by other viewers in the live broadcast room is matched with the candidate viewer virtual character 100 in the same game. Therefore, a second sub-nickname style is added to the second virtual character nickname, which includes the second nickname style. The second sub-nickname style can be "viewer who encountered the streamer (live broadcast platform nickname)," for example, a viewer who encountered streamer B, or a viewer who encountered B, or a "fan who encountered the streamer (live broadcast platform nickname)."

[0075] In some implementations, after the step of responding to the streamer's matching operation for the streamer's virtual character, the method further includes:

[0076] Determine the operation time of the matching operation, and determine the matching time period based on the operation time;

[0077] The step of determining whether there are candidate audience virtual characters among the audience virtual characters corresponding to the audience virtual character nickname for matching includes:

[0078] Determine whether there are any candidate audience virtual characters among the audience virtual characters corresponding to the audience virtual character nicknames that are matched within the matching time period.

[0079] Since there may be several candidate virtual audience characters for matching after the streamer initiates the matching process, performing the steps of "when the candidate virtual audience character is matched into a game, obtain the nicknames of other virtual characters in the game besides the candidate virtual audience character" and subsequent steps for each candidate virtual audience character would significantly increase the operating pressure on the game server, causing the game server to slow down. Therefore, the operation time of the matching operation can be determined after responding to the streamer's matching operation for the streamer's virtual character, and the matching time period can be determined based on the operation time.

[0080] Specifically, the matching time period can be determined by defining the time before the operation time as a first preset duration and the time after the operation time as a second preset duration. The first and second preset durations can be the same or different; this is not limited here.

[0081] For example, if the operation time is 12:00, the first preset duration is 5 minutes, and the second preset duration is 10 minutes, then the time period from 11:55 to 12:10 will be determined as the matching time period.

[0082] In this process, after determining the matching time period, the virtual audience characters that are matched within the matching time period are identified as candidate virtual audience characters.

[0083] This application also provides a method for displaying virtual character nicknames, applied to a live streaming server, including:

[0084] (1) Receive a user account's game account binding request and bind a game account to the user account;

[0085] (2) Determine the account identity of the user account. If the account identity of the user account is a streamer, then the user account is identified as a streamer account, and the game account is sent to the game server, triggering the game server to identify the virtual character under the game account as a streamer virtual character.

[0086] Specifically, the live streaming server provides an interface for binding live streaming user accounts (including streamers and viewers) to game accounts. Users can use this interface to bind their live streaming platform user accounts to different types of game accounts. During the binding process, users can choose which virtual character nickname under the game account they want to bind. The specific binding operation involves receiving a game account binding request from a user account, the live streaming server requesting the game server whether the game account exists, and if it exists, binding the game account to the user account.

[0087] Specifically, after binding a game account, it can be determined whether the user account is a streamer or a viewer. If the account is a streamer, the user account is designated as a streamer account, and the game account is sent to the game server. This triggers the game server to designate the virtual character under the game account as the streamer's virtual character. The method for determining the streamer's virtual character is to assign a character identifier to the virtual character.

[0088] In this process, after the game server identifies the virtual character corresponding to the streamer as the streamer's virtual character, when matching virtual characters, it can determine whether the streamer's virtual character exists based on, for example, a character identifier. If it exists, it responds to the streamer's matching operation for the streamer's virtual character by sending a query request for the virtual character nicknames of viewers in the streamer's corresponding live room to the live streaming server, and then proceeding with the following steps.

[0089] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0090] (1) Receive a viewer's virtual character nickname query request and determine that the viewer's virtual character nickname query request includes the streamer's virtual character nickname;

[0091] (2) Query the streamer account that is bound to the game account of the streamer virtual character corresponding to the streamer's virtual character nickname;

[0092] (3) Send the virtual character nicknames of the viewers in the live room opened by the streamer's account to the game server. The virtual character nicknames of the viewers are the virtual character nicknames of the virtual characters corresponding to the viewers' user accounts.

[0093] Specifically, when the live streaming server receives a live streaming status query request from the game server, it can determine that the live streaming status query request includes the streamer's virtual character nickname; query the streamer account bound to the streamer's virtual character corresponding to the streamer's virtual character nickname; and send the viewer's virtual character nicknames of the viewers in the live streaming room opened by the streamer's account to the game server. The viewer's virtual character nicknames are the virtual character nicknames of the virtual characters corresponding to the viewer's user accounts.

[0094] For example, a live stream status query request includes the streamer's virtual character nickname as A, queries the user account (i.e., the streamer's account) bound to the game account of the virtual character with nickname A, such as id: 123XXX, and retrieves the virtual character nickname of the current viewer in the live stream room opened by id: 123XXX (i.e., the viewer's virtual character nickname).

[0095] As described above, this embodiment of the application, in response to a streamer's matching operation for a streamer's virtual character, sends a query request for the virtual character nicknames of viewers in the streamer's corresponding live room to the live streaming server; receives the virtual character nicknames of viewers from the live streaming server; when the streamer's virtual character is matched into a game match, it obtains the candidate virtual character nicknames of other candidate virtual characters in the game match besides the streamer's virtual character; it filters out the target virtual character nickname that matches the viewer's virtual character nickname from the candidate virtual character nicknames, adds a first nickname style to the target virtual character nickname, and displays it in the game match. Thus, by adding a first nickname style to viewer virtual characters matched with the streamer's virtual character in the same game match, the streamer and viewers in the live room can identify the viewer matched into the live room through the first nickname style during the streamer's live broadcast.

[0096] In some implementations, such as Figure 1f As shown, Figure 1f This is a schematic diagram of the signaling between the game server and the live streaming server provided in this embodiment. The live streaming server binds a user account to a game account, and when the user account's identity is a streamer, it identifies the user account as the streamer account. The game account is sent to the game server, triggering the game server to identify the virtual character under the game account as the streamer's virtual character. When the game server detects that the streamer's virtual character is online, it sends a live streaming status query request, triggering the live streaming server to determine the streamer's account's live streaming status. After receiving the request result sent by the live streaming server, if the request result indicates a live streaming status and a matching operation is initiated, the game server sends a viewer virtual character nickname query request to the live streaming server. The live streaming server queries the streamer account bound to the game account of the streamer virtual character corresponding to the streamer's virtual character nickname, and sends the viewer virtual character nicknames of the viewers in the live streaming room opened by the streamer account. When the streamer virtual character is matched into a game match, the game server obtains the candidate virtual character nicknames of the candidate virtual characters. It filters out the target virtual character nicknames that match the viewer virtual character nicknames and adds a first nickname style to the target virtual character nickname.

[0097] Based on the methods described in the above embodiments, the following examples will provide further detailed explanations.

[0098] To facilitate better implementation of the virtual character nickname display method provided in this application embodiment, this application embodiment also provides an apparatus based on the above-described virtual character nickname display method. The meanings of the terms used are the same as in the above-described virtual character nickname display method, and specific implementation details can be found in the description of the method embodiment.

[0099] Please see Figure 2a , Figure 2aThis is a schematic diagram of a first structure of a virtual character nickname display device provided in an embodiment of this application, applied to a game server. The virtual character nickname display device is applied to an electronic device with a graphics processor, and may include a first sending module 201, a first receiving module 202, a first acquiring module 203, and a first adding module 204, etc.

[0100] The first sending module 201 is used to respond to the matching operation of the anchor for the anchor's virtual character and send a query request for the virtual character nickname of the audience in the live room corresponding to the anchor to the live streaming server.

[0101] The first receiving module 202 is used to receive the virtual character nickname of the audience fed back by the live streaming server;

[0102] The first acquisition module 203 is used to acquire the candidate virtual character nicknames of candidate virtual characters other than the streamer's virtual character in the game when the streamer's virtual character is matched into a game match.

[0103] The first adding module 204 is used to filter out target virtual character nicknames that match the audience's virtual character nicknames from the candidate virtual character nicknames, add a first nickname style to the target virtual character nickname, and display it in the game.

[0104] In some embodiments, the apparatus further includes:

[0105] The second sending module is used to send a live streaming status query request to the live streaming server when the live streaming virtual character corresponding to the streamer is detected to be online. The live streaming status query request is used to query whether the streamer account corresponding to the streamer virtual character is in a live streaming state.

[0106] The execution module is used to receive the request result of the live streaming server in response to the live streaming status query request. If the request result indicates that the streamer account is in a live streaming state, then the module executes the step of sending a query request to the live streaming server for the virtual character nicknames of the viewers in the live streaming room corresponding to the streamer.

[0107] In some embodiments, the first transmitting module 201 includes:

[0108] The first sending submodule is used to send a query request for viewer virtual character nicknames, including the virtual character nickname of the streamer, to the live streaming server, triggering the live streaming server to return the viewer virtual character nicknames of the viewers in the live streaming room corresponding to the streamer based on the virtual character nickname of the streamer.
