Solution Overview

Problem

In live streaming scenarios, users face cumbersome operations when trying to reuse special effects applied by co-hosts, which negatively impacts user experience and interaction.

Innovation Solution

A live video processing method and apparatus that displays a special effect identification associated with a co-host's special effect image on the user's interface, allowing quick access to apply the same effect by a triggering operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually search and apply special effects from the special effect library, then they can use special effects, but the operation process becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecial effect application processVSAvoidtime to apply special effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and analyzes the co-host's display image to automatically identify applied special effects, then pre-generates the special effect identification information and makes it available on the user's interface. This preliminary action eliminates the need for users to manually search through the special effect library, directly resolving the contradiction by reducing both operational complexity and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a special effect identification as an intermediary element that bridges the user and the special effect library. This identification displays key information about the co-host's special effect and provides a direct access path, serving as a mediator that simplifies the interaction and eliminates the need for complex manual searching and selection processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If users access special effects through the special effect library, then they can find and apply effects, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecial effect accessibilityVSAvoidoperation steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the special effect identification directly into the live streaming room interface, combining the functionality of special effect display, information presentation, and quick access application into a single integrated element. This merging eliminates the need for users to navigate to a separate special effect library, reducing operational complexity while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a copy of the co-host's special effect identification information and displays it on the user's interface. This copy contains all necessary information to identify and apply the special effect, allowing users to access and apply effects directly without needing to search the original special effect library, thus reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A live video processing method and apparatus, a device and a medium are provided. A first display image corresponding to a first user and a second display image corresponding to a second user are displayed on a live streaming room interface corresponding to the first user. If the second display image is provided with a first special effect image, a first special effect identification associated with the first special effect image is displayed on the live streaming room interface. The first special effect image is displayed on the first display image in response to a triggering operation of the first user on the first special effect identification.
