Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live streaming technologies do not allow viewers to independently choose to watch only the game interfaces or request customized operation controls during live game streaming.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for controlling live game streaming that enables viewers to specify control information through a presentation request, allowing the generation and transmission of customized live game interfaces to the viewer, while maintaining the streamer's interface intact.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the live streaming system transmits the complete game interface including operation controls to the viewer, then the viewer can access all game information, but the viewer cannot independently choose to watch only the game interfaces or request customized operation controls

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer control customizationVSAvoidinterface control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the game interface into two independent parts: the game interface itself and the operation control screen. The streamer can control which parts are transmitted to the viewer through configuration parameters, allowing flexible combination of game interface only, control screen only, or both together. This segmentation enables viewers to customize their viewing experience without increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic control where the streamer can adjust the transmission configuration in real-time based on viewer needs. The system allows dynamic selection of what to transmit (game interface, control screen, or both) through configurable parameters, making the interface adaptable to different viewing scenarios without requiring complex hardware changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the system provides customized control information to viewers, then user experience is improved, but the streamer's interface and control capabilities are affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer experienceVSAvoidstreamer interface interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By separating the game interface from the operation control screen into independent transmissible components, the patent ensures that customized control information can be selectively transmitted to viewers without interfering with the streamer's interface. The streamer maintains full control over their interface while viewers receive customized versions tailored to their preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a configuration parameter as an intermediary mechanism that mediates between the streamer's interface and the viewer's customized experience. This parameter allows the streamer to control what information is transmitted to viewers, acting as a buffer that prevents viewer customization requirements from directly affecting the streamer's interface operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of gaming, and provides a gaming live stream control method and device, a computer storage medium, and an electronic apparatus. The gaming live stream control method is applicable to a live stream server or a cloud gaming server, and comprises: acquiring a gaming frame corresponding to a live stream room; receiving a show-controls request sent by a live stream audience member, wherein the show-controls request is used to instruct the live stream server or the cloud gaming server to specify controls information comprised in a gaming live stream frame to be transmitted to the live stream audience member; determining, according to the show-controls request, controls information to be shown, and generating the gaming live stream frame according to the gaming frame and the controls information; and transmitting the gaming live stream frame to the live stream audience member.
