[0020] Here, the first electronic device may be an electronic device corresponding to a user watching a live broadcast, and the second electronic device may be an electronic device corresponding to a live broadcaster. During the live broadcast of the live broadcaster, the second electronic device 2 can collect the live broadcast video of the live broadcaster and send the live broadcast video to the server 3. The server 3 can push the live broadcast video to the user. The user's first electronic device 1 can play the live broadcast video. During the real-time processing of collecting and playing the live broadcast video, the server 3 corresponds to a live broadcast waiting to start for the target live broadcaster. Live broadcast information Before making a decision, check the current live broadcast of the target streamer. Live page The reservation control 4 can be displayed to make a reservation notification for a live broadcast of the target streamer that is waiting to start broadcasting. The first electronic device 1 can reserve a live broadcast of the target streamer that is waiting to start broadcasting in response to a trigger operation performed on the reservation control.

[0021] Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a flowchart of one embodiment of a live broadcast reservation method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and the live broadcast reservation method may include the following steps.

[0022] In 201, the live broadcasts that are waiting to start corresponding to the target streamer Live broadcast informationBefore making a decision, check the current live broadcast of the target streamer. Live page Display the reservation controls. For example, the live page may include the live room page, and the live broadcast information may include broadcast start information.

[0023] Selectively, live broadcasts waiting to start corresponding to the target streamer Live broadcast information Before making a decision, the live broadcast awaits the start of broadcasting. Live broadcast information This has not been decided; for example, the streamer has not set information such as the start time and title of the live broadcast that is waiting to start within the live broadcast application.

[0024] The target streamer may be a streamer currently broadcasting live, and the live room of the current live broadcast may be a live room that is currently broadcasting live, that is, it may be a live room in which a streamer is currently broadcasting live, and the live room of the current live broadcast Live page This corresponds to the live room currently broadcasting live. Live page That's fine.

[0025] Live broadcast information This is live broadcast information for live broadcasts that are awaiting the start of broadcast. Live broadcast information This could be more specific, such as the broadcast start title or broadcast start time. For example, the broadcast start time could be "2:30-3:30," and the broadcast start title could be "Recommended Sale Items."

[0026] Waiting for the target streamer to start their broadcast Live broadcast Live broadcast information Before making a decision, check the current live broadcast of your target streamer. Live page Since the reservation control is already on display, you can use the reservation control to schedule live broadcasts that are waiting to start. Live broadcast information Before making a decision, you can reserve a live broadcast of your target streamer that is waiting to start. The reservation control is used to reserve a live broadcast of your target streamer that is waiting to start. The reservation control is used to reserve a live broadcast of your target streamer that is waiting to start. Live broadcast informationSince it does not presuppose a decision, users can easily schedule live broadcasts. Selectively, the scheduling control is Live page To avoid obstructions to the exhibit, and to control reservations and Live page To achieve accurate display, Live page It can be displayed in the upper left or upper right corner area.

[0027] In this invention, the current live broadcast of the target streamer Live page The reservation control is displayed, and the reservation control may be a functional control that resides within the live room of the live broadcast application, that is, Live page It may be displayed in a fixed manner.

[0028] In 202, in response to a trigger operation on the reservation control, it is possible to reserve a live broadcast that is waiting for the target streamer to start broadcasting.

[0029] Selectively, a reservation control can include various reservation states, which may include an unreserved state and a reserved state. When a reservation control is in the unreserved state, it can display "Reserved" to suggest a reservation. When a reservation control is in the reserved state, it can display reserved identification information, such as a "√" checkmark. Of course, the above descriptions of the two reservation states are merely illustrative and not limiting. Furthermore, a reservation control can display reservation selection suggestion information corresponding to "Live Broadcast Reservation" when unreserved, and display reservation cancellation suggestion information corresponding to "Live Broadcast Reservation Cancellation" when reserved.

[0030] To make it easier to understand, as shown in Figure 3, Live page300 can display a reservation control 301, which displays a keyword 302 corresponding to "reservation" when there is no reservation, and displays a "√" check mark identification information 303 when there is a reservation. By switching between the "reservation" keyword 302 and the "√" check mark identification information 303, the reservation control 301 can switch between different reservation states.

[0031] moreover, Live page 300 includes avatar identification information, nickname identification information, fan follower identification information, etc., as well as streamer identification information 305 displayed in the upper left area, user identification information 306 displayed in the upper right area, avatar identification information, etc., comment display area 307 located in the middle and lower areas of the page, comment input area 308, gift identification information 309 displayed alongside the comment input area, shopping cart identification information 310, etc. Live page Other key elements may also be displayed.

[0032] When the reservation control is in the "reserved" state, it indicates that the user has reserved a live broadcast from the target streamer that is waiting to start. In this way, the reservation control can be used to establish a reservation association between the target user and the live broadcast that is waiting to start, thereby improving reservation efficiency. When the reservation control is in the "reserved" state, the reservation control can be triggered, such as by clicking the reservation control, to cancel the reservation for the live broadcast from the target streamer that is waiting to start. When the reservation control is in the "not reserved" state, it indicates that the user has not reserved a live broadcast from the target streamer that is waiting to start. In this case, the reservation control can be triggered, such as by clicking the reservation control, to reserve a live broadcast from the target streamer that is waiting to start.

[0033] The reservation control can switch between an unreserved state and a reserved state. When the reservation control corresponding to the reservation selection notification is triggered, the target user's reservation status for the target streamer's live broadcast that is waiting to start becomes reserved. When the reservation control corresponding to the reservation cancellation notification is triggered, the target user's reservation status for the target streamer's live broadcast that is waiting to start becomes unreserved.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, before determining the live broadcast information of the target streamer that is awaiting broadcast start, the current live broadcast of the target streamer Live page The reservation control can be displayed, and in response to a trigger operation on the reservation control, it is possible to reserve a live broadcast waiting for the target streamer to start. In this way, by interacting with the reservation control, it is possible to reserve a live broadcast waiting for the target streamer to start, and the efficiency of live broadcast reservations can be effectively improved.

[0035] The live broadcasts awaiting broadcast commencement according to the present invention may include the next live broadcast adjacent to the current live broadcast, or all live broadcasts awaiting broadcast commencement from the target streamer.

[0036] In other words, the next live broadcast adjacent to the current live broadcast, or all live broadcasts waiting to start, Live broadcast information If the next live broadcast is unknown, you can quickly reserve the next live broadcast or all live broadcasts that are awaiting broadcast start. The next live broadcast adjacent to the current live broadcast is the next live broadcast that is adjacent to the current live broadcast and has not yet started. All live broadcasts awaiting broadcast start are all subsequent live broadcasts of the target streamer that are adjacent to the current live broadcast and have not yet started.

[0037] As one embodiment, by triggering reservation control, all pending live broadcasts of a target streamer can be reserved, thereby enabling users to quickly reserve all subsequent live broadcasts of the target streamer, allowing users to follow and watch all pending live broadcasts of the target streamer, and significantly improving reservation efficiency.

[0038] In embodiments of the present invention, The target streamer has turned on the live broadcast notification feature and is responding to live broadcasts that are waiting to start. Live broadcast information After setting the current live broadcast Live page This further includes displaying a live broadcast announcement sticker, the live broadcast announcement sticker containing reservation identification information and Live broadcast information This may include the following. Of course, in actual application, the live broadcast announcement sticker may include other information such as photos and videos related to the live broadcast content, and this solution is merely illustrative and should not constitute a limitation of this technical solution.

[0039] Live streamers can set a live broadcast announcement for their upcoming live broadcasts. Specifically, on the broadcast start settings page, they can set the broadcast start time, theme, etc. Live broadcast information This can be configured. On the broadcast start settings page, a live broadcast announcement function switch button can be displayed, and the live broadcast announcement function can be turned on or off by detecting the Liver Trigger switch button. When the switch button is turned on, the live broadcast announcement function is activated.

The live broadcast announcement sticker will include the broadcast start time, broadcast title, etc. Live broadcast information It can display.

[0041] Selectively, the live broadcast announcement sticker is a live broadcast announcement pop-up window. Live page This may include display methods such as the live broadcast announcement subpage within the live broadcast announcement sticker, and reservation identification information and Live broadcast information It can display the following: Live broadcast information can include the broadcast start time, broadcast title, etc. Live broadcast announcement stickers can be displayed in a different location from the reservation controls in the live room display interface.

[0042] In such cases, the dual presentation of reservation identification information and reservation controls within the live broadcast announcement sticker allows users to receive timely notifications of live broadcast reservations awaiting broadcast start, thereby enabling them to reserve the live broadcast.

[0043] To facilitate understanding, the embodiments of the present invention are provided as shown in Figure 4. Live page This is an example diagram of a live broadcast announcement sticker 401 displayed on 400, where the live broadcast announcement sticker 401 is made of reservation identification information 4011 and Live broadcast information It can include 4012, Live broadcast information 4012 may include information such as the broadcast start time and broadcast title of a live broadcast awaiting broadcast. The display state of the reservation identification information 4011 within the live broadcast announcement sticker 401 can be switched. Referring to Figure 4, in the no-reservation state, the reservation identification information 4011 may be "Reserved" 402, and in the reserved state, the reservation identification information 4012 may be the check mark identification information "√" 403. During the process of switching the reservation state, the display state of the reservation identification information can be switched in sync with the reservation state.

[0044] moreover, Live page In 400, the reservation control 404 can be displayed simultaneously. The reservation control 404 can display "Reserved" when there is no reservation, and can display "Reserved" and check mark identification information "√" 405 when there is a reservation. Furthermore, Live pageIn this context, the following information may be displayed in the upper left area, which may include avatar identification information and nickname identification information; the live room audience identification information displayed in the upper right area, which may include avatar identification information; the comment display area and comment input area located in the middle and lower areas of the page; the gift identification information and shopping cart identification information displayed alongside the comment input area; Live page Further key elements can be displayed. For identification information of each element, please refer to Figure 3.

[0045] Each of the illustrative figures of the present invention is shown Live page This is merely an example, Live page It is necessary to explain that the display format should not be specifically limited, and that any result obtained by superimposing this technical solution onto the live room for each display format falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] In one possible design, In response to a trigger operation performed on reservation identification information, Live broadcast information This includes reserving a live broadcast that is waiting to start, Cancel the display of the live broadcast announcement sticker. Live page This further includes maintaining the display of the reservation control within the system.

[0047] The functions and processing methods for reservation identification information may be the same as those for reservation control, and the specific execution steps will not be repeated here.

[0048] The reservation identification information can display reservation selection information for "Live Broadcast Reservation" and reservation cancellation information for "Live Broadcast Reservation Cancellation".

[0049] To cancel the display of the live broadcast announcement sticker, remove the live broadcast announcement sticker. Live page To close in, that is, Live pageThis may include not displaying the live broadcast announcement sticker, as the live broadcast announcement sticker contains more information and is larger in size, and in response to a trigger operation performed on the reservation identification information, Live broadcast information By scheduling a live broadcast that is awaiting its start and canceling the display of the live broadcast announcement sticker, you can prevent the screen from being obstructed too much.

[0050] Of course, maintaining the display of the reservation control on the Live Room page, because the reservation control is smaller, can be continuously displayed as a persistent feature of the Live Room, making it easier for users to reserve or cancel live broadcasts and improving the user experience.

[0051] As another example, Live broadcast information The live broadcast awaiting broadcast start that corresponds to this is the next live broadcast adjacent to the current live broadcast. This further includes synchronously adjusting the display state of the reservation control and reservation identification information in response to a trigger operation on the reservation control.

[0052] Selectively, in response to trigger operations on reservation identification information, the display state of reservation control and reservation identification information can be synchronously adjusted.

[0053] The reservation identification information and the reservation control can be synchronized with their respective reservation states. This means that when a user triggers either the reservation identification information or the reservation control, the reservation states of both can be switched simultaneously. The reservation state can include both a reserved state and an unreserved state.

[0054] The display state can correspond to the reservation status and may include a first display state corresponding to the reserved state and a second display state corresponding to the unreserved state. The first display state may include specific information corresponding to "reserved," and the second display state may include specific information corresponding to "live broadcast that has not yet started broadcasting."

[0055] Reservation identification information or reservation control can be switched between a reserved state and an unreserved state. Switching the reservation state can trigger a switch in the display state. For example, when the reservation state switches to the reserved state, the display state switches to the first display state, and when the reservation state switches to the unreserved state, the display state switches to the second display state.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, the display state of the reservation control and reservation identification information can be synchronously adjusted after the user performs a trigger operation on the reservation control. By synchronously adjusting the display state of the reservation control and reservation identification information, synchronous information control of the reservation control and reservation identification information can be achieved, thereby avoiding the development of a confused sequence of live broadcast reservations triggered by the reservation control or reservation identification information, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of live broadcast reservations.

[0057] Figure 5 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the live broadcast reservation method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the previously described method in that reserving a live broadcast awaiting the start of a target streamer's broadcast includes the following steps.

[0058] In step 501, a reservation request for the target streamer is generated for the live broadcast awaiting the start of broadcasting.

[0059] In 502, a reservation request is sent to the server, which is used to obtain a broadcast start reminder for the target streamer's live broadcast awaiting broadcast and to establish a reservation association between the target user and the target streamer's live broadcast awaiting broadcast.

[0060] A reservation request may be obtained when a first electronic device detects that a target user has triggered a reservation control within the playback page of the live broadcast video while viewing the live broadcast. The reservation control may be a reservation prompt control for a live broadcast awaiting broadcast start displayed by the target user. The first electronic device can detect trigger operations performed by the target user on the reservation control while the live broadcast video is playing.

[0061] A reservation request may be generated based on reservation identification information. If the reservation identification information is in a no-reservation state, it can be detected that the target user has triggered the reservation identification information to reserve a live broadcast waiting to start, and a reservation request can be generated.

[0062] As shown in Figure 6, the first electronic device 601 is Live page You can view the 602 page of the live broadcast video playback for the live room called Live Room. Live page In 602, it is possible to display the real-time screen of the live broadcast video. Furthermore, Live page In 602, the reservation control 603 can be displayed. When the first electronic device 601 detects the trigger for the reservation control 603, it can generate a reservation request and send the reservation request to the server 604. The server 604 can receive the reservation request. Therefore, the server 604 can determine the live broadcast reservation amount corresponding to the received reservation request. Furthermore, based on the live broadcast reservation amount, it can determine the reservation amount control for live broadcasts waiting to start, and the reservation amount control is sent to the streamer's second electronic device 605. The second electronic device 605 can also display the live room video screen in real time, and the second electronic device 605 can additionally display the reservation amount control 606. The reservation amount control 606 can include presentation information to indicate the reservation amount, for example, "** people have reserved live broadcasts waiting to start." The reservation amount control can be used to display the reservation amount control. Of course, Live page In this context, the streamer identification information, user identification information, etc., are displayed in the upper left area. Live page Further key elements can be shown, specifically in Figure 3, which will not be repeated here.

[0063] In embodiments of the present invention, Live page The reservation control can be displayed. The system can detect trigger actions performed by the target user on the reservation control, generate a reservation request, determine the amount of live broadcast reservations based on the reservation request, and display the amount of live broadcast reservations to the target streamer, thereby providing an accurate presentation of the reservation amount.

[0064] In one possible design, after scheduling a live broadcast while waiting for the target streamer to start broadcasting, This involves receiving a broadcast start reminder for a live broadcast that is awaiting the start of a target streamer's broadcast, and the broadcast start reminder is presented based on the live broadcast that is awaiting the start of a target streamer's broadcast. This further includes displaying a broadcast start reminder and suggesting viewing the live broadcast that is awaiting its start.

[0065] Selectively, the broadcast start reminder may also be a notification that is generated when the target streamer ends their current live broadcast and begins a live broadcast that is awaiting start.

[0066] Broadcast start reminders can be displayed in various forms, such as pop-up windows, subpages, or instant messaging. A broadcast start reminder might also be a notification such as, "A streamer you follow has started a live broadcast."

[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, by using a server to send broadcast start reminder information, it is possible to notify the live broadcaster of the start of a live broadcast that is waiting to begin, thereby improving the efficiency of presenting live broadcasts.

[0068] In one possible design, the broadcast start reminder information may include a start notification pop-up window, and the display of the broadcast start reminder information may include: This includes displaying an introductory pop-up window at the top of the page.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, the presentation efficiency of the start presentation popup window can be improved by displaying the start presentation popup window at the top of the display page.

[0070] As one embodiment, the target streamer receiving the start reminder is: Receiving start reminder information, which is further generated when the server detects that the streamer has not started broadcasting when it has determined a start time based on the end time of the current live broadcast.

[0071] The target streamer's display page will show a start reminder to notify the target streamer when their live broadcast is about to begin.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to receive start reminder information and display the start reminder information on the target streamer's display page, thereby notifying the target streamer of the start of the live broadcast that is waiting to begin, thereby enabling notification of the start of the broadcast to the target streamer and improving the live broadcast start rate.

[0073] As one embodiment, In response to the setting operation performed by the target streamer on the live broadcast notification function, the live broadcasts that the target streamer has provided and are waiting to start will be updated. Live broadcast information This further includes obtaining.

[0074] Supports live broadcasts awaiting the start of broadcasting. Live broadcast information The corresponding live broadcast announcement sticker has been decided, and the live broadcast announcement sticker is Live page Used to be displayed, the live broadcast announcement sticker is Live broadcast information Includes.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present invention, the live broadcast notification function corresponds to a live broadcast awaiting the start of broadcasting provided by the target live streamer. Live broadcast information In contrast, Live broadcast information This enables effective presentation.

[0076] As one embodiment, Figure 7 shows a flowchart of another embodiment of the live broadcast reservation method provided by the present invention, which differs from the above embodiment in that it further includes the following steps after sending the reservation control to the first electronic device of the target user.

[0077] In 701, a reservation request transmitted by the first electronic device is received, and the amount of live broadcast reservation corresponding to the received reservation request is determined. The reservation request is generated based on a trigger operation performed by the target user on the reservation control of a live broadcast awaiting broadcast start.

[0078] In 702, the reservation volume control for live broadcasts awaiting broadcast start is determined based on the live broadcast reservation volume, and this reservation volume control is used to display on the target live streamer's second electronic device.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, the server determines the live broadcast reservation amount corresponding to the received reservation request based on the reservation request transmitted by the first electronic device, determines a reservation amount control corresponding to the live broadcast reservation amount, and uses the reservation amount control to present it to the target live streamer, thereby achieving efficient reservation presentation for the next live broadcast.

[0080] As one embodiment, Once it is determined that the target streamer's live broadcast has ended, this further includes recording the end time of the live broadcast.

[0081] Based on the end time, the start time of the live broadcast awaiting broadcast will be determined. If the target streamer has not started their live broadcast at the scheduled start time, a reminder message for starting the live broadcast will be generated. The start reminder information is sent to a second electronic device, which displays the start reminder information to the target streamer, indicating that the live broadcast is about to begin.

[0082] Determining the start time of a live broadcast waiting to begin based on its end time may involve obtaining the live room interval time, calculating the sum of the end time and the live room interval time, and obtaining the start time of the live broadcast waiting to begin.

[0083] The live room interval may also be the average interval time corresponding to multiple historical live broadcasts of the target streamer.

[0084] Selectively, start reminder information can be presented in various formats such as short messages, instant messaging, pop-up windows, and scroll bars. Short messages and instant messaging can accurately deliver the information to live streamer users, preventing message omissions. Pop-up windows or scroll bars can be presented to live streamer users in real time, effectively improving information delivery efficiency.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present invention, the start time of a live broadcast awaiting broadcast can be determined based on the end time of a live broadcast. If the target streamer has not started the live broadcast awaiting broadcast by the start time, start reminder information can be generated. By presenting this start reminder information to a second electronic device, the objective of improving the efficiency of the target streamer starting their live broadcast and improving the viewing efficiency of the live broadcast through effective presentation can be achieved.

[0086] In a specific example, When the next live broadcast adjacent to the target streamer's current live broadcast is detected, the system determines the broadcast start reminder information for the next live broadcast. The broadcast start reminder information is transmitted to a first electronic device of a target user who has reserved the next live broadcast, and the broadcast start reminder information indicates to the first electronic device that the next live broadcast has started.
