Camera Apparatus One-Key Live Casting Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
During live video casting, users are distracted by the need to operate a smartphone application for video recording and uploading, which affects their interaction with the audience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow a camera to send a live cast request message to a server when a preset key is triggered, receiving a live cast address, and uploading the video stream to a second server, eliminating the need for manual operation and improving user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user operates a smartphone application to control video recording and uploading, then video casting functionality is achieved, but user attention is distracted and interaction with audience is adversely affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the video recording control function from the smartphone application and transfers it to the camera device itself. The camera now has an independent control interface that allows users to start and stop recording directly on the camera, eliminating the need to switch between smartphone app and camera, thus resolving the distraction issue while maintaining full video casting functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The camera device is equipped with autonomous capabilities to perform video recording, storage, and uploading operations without requiring continuous user intervention through a smartphone app. The camera can independently manage the video casting process, including automatic uploading to cloud services, which frees the user from operational distractions and improves interaction efficiency
2Ease of operation
If manual operation via smartphone application is used, then video recording control is achieved, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential video recording control functions from the complex smartphone application ecosystem and implements them as simple, dedicated buttons and interfaces directly on the camera device. This reduces operational complexity by providing direct control without requiring users to navigate through multiple app menus and settings
Solution Approach 2:
The camera device is designed with multi-functional capabilities that consolidate video recording, cloud uploading, and casting control into a single device interface. This universal design eliminates the need for separate smartphone application operations, simplifying the overall system while maintaining comprehensive functionality

AI summary
A video uploading method, includes: sending a live cast request message to a first server when it is determined that a preset key is triggered, the live cast request message carrying a device identification of a camera apparatus; receiving a live cast address generated by the first server according to the live cast request message, the live cast address corresponding to the device identification; and uploading a video stream recorded by the camera apparatus to a second server, a storage space of the video stream in the second server being determined by the live cast address.
