Live Stream Prompt Overlay for Seamless Viewer Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current live streaming technologies require live streamers to frequently switch between the live stream screen and additional content boards, leading to a disrupted streaming experience and increased development costs for configuring different content prompting functions.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for displaying prompt information directly on the live stream interface, where pre-stored content is requested from a resource server and overlaid on the live stream interface as a non-livestream traffic pushing content, allowing live streamers to access prompt content without affecting the viewing experience and reducing development costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If additional content boards are set up to display prompt information, then live streamers can access prompt content, but the live streamer's eyes need to repeatedly switch between the live stream screen and the content board, affecting the live stream state
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the prompt content display with the live stream interface by overlaying the content board on top of the live stream screen. This allows the live streamer to access prompt information without switching views, maintaining continuous engagement with the audience while having reference materials available. The overlay technique combines two previously separate visual elements into a unified display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new spatial dimension by displaying the content board in a layered overlay format rather than as a separate full-screen view. The prompt content is positioned in a corner or side area of the live stream interface, creating a multi-layered display structure that provides information in an additional visual dimension without blocking the main content.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display content mode is configured in advance in the live stream client, then content prompting function can be implemented, but frequent updates of the live stream client application version are necessary, increasing development cost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the content configuration functionality from the live stream client application and places it on the content platform server. This allows different live streamers to have customized prompt content configurations without requiring updates to the client software. The configuration data is delivered dynamically with the video stream, separating the adaptability requirements from the client application maintenance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal content delivery mechanism that handles multiple types of content (prompt information, overlays, annotations) through a single infrastructure. The content platform server provides a generalized framework that can accommodate various content configurations for different live streamers without requiring separate development efforts for each customization scenario.
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosure discloses a method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium for displaying prompt information. According to the method, in response to detecting a to-be-displayed prompt content associated with a current live stream content is pre-stored on a resource server, a prompt content request entrance is displayed on a current live stream interface. In response to a trigger instruction of the prompt content request entrance, the to-be-displayed prompt content is requested to the resource server. A view layer is overlaid on the current live stream interface and the to-be-displayed prompt content is displayed, where the to-be-displayed prompt content is a non-livestream traffic pushing content.
