Solution Overview

Problem

Current live streaming applications require users to manually switch between multiple game perspectives, leading to cumbersome operations and increased server load, as they can only focus on one perspective at a time.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allows users to trigger a split-screen control, enabling simultaneous display of live streaming pictures from multiple perspectives within a virtual scene, reducing user operations and server load by displaying multiple perspectives in a split-screen format.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually switch between multiple game perspectives in live streaming, then they can focus on one perspective at a time, but user operations become cumbersome and server load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operation simplicityVSAvoidserver processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display screen into multiple independent display regions, with each region showing a different game perspective simultaneously. This segmentation allows users to view multiple perspectives without manual switching, reducing operation complexity while the server continues to process all perspectives efficiently through parallel data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-perspective time-based sequence to a multi-perspective spatial parallel display. By adding the spatial dimension of simultaneous display across different screen regions, the system eliminates the need for manual switching while maintaining server efficiency through concurrent perspective processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If users manually switch between perspectives, then server can provide single perspective data, but user interaction efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveserver data processing efficiencyVSAvoiduser switching time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The server pre-transmits and prepares multiple perspective live streaming picture data simultaneously before the user needs to view them. This preliminary action allows the user to access any perspective instantly through the split-screen interface without manual switching, eliminating time loss while the server efficiently manages parallel data streams.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates multiple copies of the live streaming picture data for different perspectives and transmits them simultaneously to the user's device. This copying approach allows instant access to any perspective without switching, improving user interaction efficiency while the server processes all copies in parallel to maintain high processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides multiple perspective options, then users have more viewing choices, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperspective selection flexibilityVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display interface into multiple fixed regions, each dedicated to a specific perspective. This segmentation provides users with flexible perspective selection while simplifying the system structure by using a standardized split-screen layout that requires minimal additional complexity compared to manual switching mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A live streaming picture data processing method and apparatus, a device, a storage medium, and a program are provided. A live streaming interface of a virtual scene may be displayed, where the virtual scene corresponds to live streaming picture from n perspectives. The system may display a live streaming picture from a first perspective and a split-screen control in the interface based on obtained picture data of the first perspective, and, in response to receiving a trigger operation on the split-screen control, split-screen display on live streaming pictures from the m perspectives in the live streaming interface based on obtained live streaming picture data of the m perspectives of the n perspectives, 2≤m≤n, and m being an integer. Accordingly, data processing efficiency can be improved, and a user operation can be simplified, thereby improving human-computer interaction efficiency and reducing running load of a server.
