Livestream Picture Layout Using Position-Based Stream Separation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video live streaming technologies lack functionality to enrich user experience by effectively managing and displaying multiple live-streams in a manner that enhances viewer engagement and reduces overlap.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for merging and separating live-stream displays based on image position information, allowing for the display of multiple live-streams in predefined layouts without overlap, using a viewer-side and streamer-side interaction with a live streaming media server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple live-stream displays are merged into a single merged display, then the display layout is simplified and easier to manage, but the ability to display multiple streams separately and avoid overlap is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the merged display by extracting individual live-stream displays from the merged display using position information. This allows the system to maintain the simplicity of merged display management while enabling separate control and flexible arrangement of individual streams, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and adaptability.
2Area of stationary object
If multiple live-stream displays are displayed in overlapping positions, then the display area utilization is maximized, but the viewer experience deteriorates due to content overlap and confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent solves the overlap problem by transitioning from a two-dimensional overlapping layout to a multi-dimensional arrangement using position information (x, y coordinates). Individual streams are placed in distinct spatial positions within the merged display, eliminating overlap while maintaining efficient use of display area, thus improving viewer experience without sacrificing area utilization.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system processes and separates multiple live-stream displays from merged display, then the display flexibility and user experience are improved, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining position information for each live-stream display within the merged display. This position information is prepared in advance and stored, allowing the system to quickly separate and arrange streams without complex real-time processing, thus reducing system complexity while maintaining display flexibility.

AI summary
Provided by the present disclosure are a livestream picture processing method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: first, a viewer side pulling a live-stream merged display and image position information corresponding to the live-stream merged display from a live streaming media server, the live-stream merged display is obtained on the basis of merging of at least two live-stream displays, and the image position information is configured for identifying respective positions of the at least two live-stream displays in the live-stream merged display; then, separating the at least two live-stream displays from the live-stream merged display respectively, based on the image position information; further, displaying the at least two live-stream displays based on a preset live-stream display layout.
