Multi-User Live Room Consolidation for Low-Traffic Streaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-user live streaming systems fail to accurately recommend live streaming rooms to interested users, leading to low engagement and utilization rates, especially in rooms with fewer guests and audiences, resulting in streamers abandoning the function due to low user interaction.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that consolidate live streaming rooms by adding a target client to a first live streaming room and closing the second live streaming room when certain conditions are met, increasing engagement and interaction rates, and reducing server data processing burden.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If live streaming rooms are maintained separately, then each room can operate independently, but server data processing burden increases and resource waste occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple low-traffic live streaming rooms into a single consolidated room when audience quantity falls below a threshold. The server detects room traffic metrics and automatically consolidates rooms, reducing the total number of active streaming sessions and thereby decreasing server data processing burden while maintaining service functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes operational parameters by monitoring audience quantity metrics and triggering consolidation actions when thresholds are met. This parameter-based approach allows the system to adaptively adjust room configurations based on real-time traffic conditions, optimizing resource utilization without manual intervention.
2Ease of operation
If live streaming rooms with few guests are maintained, then streamers can operate independently, but engagement and interaction rates decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple underperforming live streaming rooms into one consolidated room, pooling together audiences and guests from previously separate streams. This merging action increases the total audience size and interaction opportunities in the consolidated room, thereby improving engagement rates while still allowing individual streamers to maintain their presence and operational independence within the unified space.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple live streaming rooms are maintained, then users have more choices, but resource waste increases due to low utilization
Solution Approach 1:
The system consolidates multiple low-utilization live streaming rooms into a single unified room, reducing the total number of active streams from what would be resource-intensive to maintain. This consolidation eliminates redundant resource consumption associated with running multiple separate streaming instances, while the merged room continues to provide diverse content through multiple streamers, thus maintaining adaptability without the associated resource waste.

AI summary
The embodiments of the present application belong to the technical field of computers. Disclosed are a multi-user live streaming method and apparatus, a terminal, a server, and a storage medium. The method comprises: displaying a live streaming interface of a first live streaming room; in response to the first live streaming room satisfying a live streaming room consolidation condition, displaying a consolidation selection list; in response to a selection operation being performed on a target client in the consolidation selection list, sending a live streaming room consolidation request to the target client via a server; and displaying, in the live streaming interface of the first live streaming room, the target client which has been added to the first live streaming room. By means of the embodiments of the present application, the engagement rate and the interaction rate for a first live streaming room can be increased, and other users can be attracted to join the first live streaming room, thereby preventing live streamers of both the first live streaming room and a second live streaming room from stopping using a multi-user live streaming function due to a small number of users joining the two live streaming rooms. In addition, the second live streaming room is closed, such that the usage rate of the multi-user live streaming function is improved, and the data processing burden on a server can also be reduced, thereby avoiding the waste of resources.
