Live Streaming Collecting Device with Dedicated Hardware

The patent introduces a dedicated collecting device as an intermediary component between the live mobile phone and the server. This collecting device, equipped with professional camera and microphone hardware, receives control instructions from the live mobile phone via the server, collects high-quality multimedia information, and transmits it to the server. This mediator approach allows the simple mobile phone interface to maintain ease of operation while the professional collecting device ensures high manufacturing precision of the multimedia content.

The patent segments the live streaming system into distinct functional components: the live mobile phone (for user interaction and control), the collecting device (for high-quality multimedia acquisition), and the server (for coordination and distribution). This segmentation allows the complex high-quality collection function to be isolated in a dedicated device, while the mobile phone remains simple and user-friendly. The server acts as a coordinator, managing the interaction between these components without requiring either end-device to become overly complex.

The server acts as an intermediary transmission node that receives high-quality multimedia information from the collecting device and distributes it to playing mobile phones. Although this adds a transmission step, the server's high-bandwidth connection and optimized transmission protocols maintain fast delivery speeds while ensuring high-quality information transfer. The intermediary server enables quality preservation during transmission that would be difficult to achieve through direct peer-to-peer mobile phone connections.
