Solution Overview

Problem

In live co-streaming scenarios, the simultaneous speech of multiple users leads to inadequate subtitle display, negatively impacting user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that process subtitle information by associating it with client identifiers and object identifiers, allowing for differentiated display on a target client based on these identifiers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple users speak simultaneously in live co-streaming, then the quantity of subtitle information increases, but the display clarity and accuracy deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of subtitle informationVSAvoiddisplay accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments subtitle information by associating each subtitle with specific client identifiers and object identifiers. This allows the display system to divide and organize subtitles from multiple simultaneous speakers into distinct, identifiable groups, preventing visual confusion while maintaining complete information from all users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the display presentation of subtitles based on their associated client identifiers and object identifiers. Different clients or objects can have customized display attributes (such as position, color, or style), allowing each subtitle source to be visually distinguished while maintaining overall display clarity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If subtitle information from multiple co-streaming clients is displayed together, then the completeness of information improves, but the complexity of display management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddisplay management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing mechanism that uses client identifiers and object identifiers as mediating elements between multiple subtitle sources and the display system. This intermediary layer automatically organizes and manages the subtitle information according to the identifier associations, reducing the complexity of direct display management while ensuring complete information presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If differentiated display of subtitle information is implemented, then the user experience improves, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-associating client identifiers and object identifiers with subtitle information during the subtitle generation and transmission phases. This preliminary organization of data reduces the processing complexity during actual display, as the differentiation logic is already established through identifier associations rather than requiring complex real-time analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Examples of the disclosure provide a method and apparatus for processing information, a device, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a plurality of pieces of subtitle information corresponding to a plurality of co-streaming clients, where the subtitle information carries co-streaming client identifiers and/or object identifiers corresponding to the co-streaming clients, and the subtitle information is determined by audio data of the co-streaming clients; and transmitting the plurality of pieces of subtitle information to a target client, such that the target client displays the plurality of pieces of subtitle information differently according to the co-streaming client identifiers and/or the object identifiers.
