Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live streaming interfaces face inefficiencies due to the need to split background views into multiple sub-images, complicating the processing of layers such as the theme and stream pulling player layers, particularly when a theme layer obscures content in the stream pulling player layer.

Innovation Solution

The method and apparatus process a live streaming interface by acquiring layout information that includes microphone slot area positions, adjusting transparency or cutting out areas in the theme layer view to display content in the stream pulling player layer view, thereby improving processing efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If a unified background view is set for the theme layer view, then the theme layer view can be displayed uniformly, but the content in the stream pulling player layer view will be obscured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity of theme layer viewVSAvoidcontent visibility in stream pulling player layer
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the theme layer view background into multiple independent regions corresponding to different microphone slot areas. Each region can be independently controlled to be transparent or opaque, allowing the theme layer to maintain uniform appearance in non-microphone areas while preserving content visibility in microphone slot areas where needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If the background view is split into multiple sub-images and placed in corresponding positions, then content visibility can be maintained, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent visibilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the functionality of multiple independent background images into a single theme layer view by using region-based transparency control. Instead of managing multiple separate sub-images, the system uses one theme layer with different transparency states in different regions, significantly reducing processing complexity while maintaining content visibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If the theme layer view is processed to display content in the stream pulling player layer view area, then processing efficiency is improved, but the layer structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidlayer structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic transparency control to the theme layer view, allowing real-time adjustment of transparency values in different regions based on layout information. This dynamic property enables the theme layer to adaptively display or hide content in microphone slot areas without requiring complex structural changes, thus improving processing efficiency while keeping the layer structure relatively simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for processing a live streaming interface, a device, and a storage medium. The method includes: acquiring layout information of the live streaming interface, where the layout information includes position information of at least one microphone slot area; and processing, according to the layout information, an area in a theme layer view corresponding to the microphone slot area, to display content in an area in a stream pulling player layer view corresponding to the microphone slot area, where the theme layer view is located above the stream pulling player layer view. According to the method for processing a live streaming interface according to this embodiment of the present disclosure, the area in the theme layer view corresponding to the microphone slot area is directly processed according to the layout information of the live streaming interface to display process the content in the area in the stream pulling player layer view corresponding to the microphone slot area, thereby improving the efficiency of processing the live streaming interface.
