Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live streaming services face security risks due to unauthorized live broadcasts, where users' information can be streamed without their knowledge, necessitating a method to detect and prevent such unauthorized transmissions.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a terminal device, a camera device, and a server that enables live broadcast detection by sending detection requests, capturing and uploading content, and searching for specific detection content within the uploaded live broadcast content to identify and report unauthorized broadcasts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If live broadcast content is monitored and analyzed to detect unauthorized broadcasts, then user information security is improved, but system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser information securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detection system is divided into multiple independent modules: a detection request sending module in the terminal device, a content capture module in the camera device, and a content analysis module in the server. Each module performs a specific function, allowing the complex detection task to be distributed and managed separately, thus improving security without overwhelming a single system component

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A server acts as an intermediary between the terminal device and camera device. The terminal sends detection requests to the server, which then coordinates with the camera device to capture and analyze content. This intermediary architecture simplifies the interaction between components and manages the complexity of the overall detection system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of time

If real-time detection of live broadcast content is performed, then unauthorized broadcasts are identified faster, but network bandwidth and processing resources are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection timeVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device sends detection requests in advance with specific detection content (such as test patterns or identification markers). The server prepares detection criteria before actual live broadcast analysis begins. This preliminary preparation enables faster real-time detection without requiring complex processing during the actual broadcast monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of analyzing entire live broadcast streams in full resolution, the system focuses on detecting specific detection content (such as embedded watermarks, test patterns, or identification sequences). This partial detection approach reduces network bandwidth consumption and processing resources while still enabling timely identification of unauthorized broadcasts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

The present disclosure provides methods, devices, systems, and storage mediums for live broadcast detection and data processing. In one exemplary embodiments, a user terminal device cooperates with a server and a camera device in a live broadcast system. The terminal device turns towards the camera device and outputs detection content within a detection time. It can be determined whether live broadcast content uploaded/captured by the camera device includes the detection content captured by the camera device within the detection time. If the detection content is found in the live broadcast content, it can be determined that unauthorized live broadcasting exists. Accordingly, corresponding measures can be taken to stop the unauthorized live broadcasting in a timely manner, which helps improve the security of user information.
