Virtual Gift Display Through Bullet-Screen Picture Splicing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual gift display methods in livestreaming require redevelopment of a new layer for displaying gift information, increasing development costs and time, and lack flexibility in displaying different virtual gifts.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves receiving virtual gift information, obtaining multiple gift pictures from a predefined library, splicing them based on quantity and a preset rule to create a bullet-screen comment picture, and displaying it in the comment area, without requiring redevelopment of the virtual gift display function.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a new layer is developed for displaying virtual gift information, then the display function is achieved, but development costs and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The bullet-screen comment area, originally designed for text comments, is extended to also display virtual gift information. The system splices gift pictures into the bullet-screen comment format and displays them in the existing comment area, allowing one component to serve multiple functions without requiring a separate display layer
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual gift display function is merged with the bullet-screen comment system. Gift information is combined with comment formatting, and both are displayed through the same interface channel, eliminating the need for separate display infrastructure
2Reliability
If a new layer is developed for displaying virtual gift information, then the display function is achieved, but development costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The bullet-screen comment area is designed to handle both text comments and virtual gift displays, reducing the need for separate development resources. The splicing mechanism reuses existing comment display infrastructure for gift presentation
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses picture splicing technology to create gift display images from template pictures, rather than developing custom display components. This copying approach reduces development complexity and cost
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional display methods are used, then development is simpler, but flexibility in displaying different virtual gifts is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The bullet-screen comment system dynamically adapts to display different types of content (text comments and virtual gifts) using the same interface. The splicing mechanism can accommodate various gift pictures and quantities, providing flexibility without complicating the base system
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters (picture splicing, quantity representation) based on the type of content being displayed. Gift information is rendered by adjusting picture composition and arrangement parameters within the existing comment display framework

AI summary
This application provides a virtual gift display method. The method includes: receiving virtual gift information, where the virtual gift information includes a given target virtual gift and a giving quantity of target virtual gifts; obtaining at least two gift pictures corresponding to the target virtual gift from a gift picture material library; splicing the at least two obtained gift pictures based on the giving quantity of target virtual gifts and a preset splicing rule, to obtain a bullet-screen comment picture; and displaying the bullet-screen comment picture in a bullet-screen comment area. In this way, a virtual gift given by a user can be displayed by using a bullet-screen comment function built in a live room, without a need to redevelop a virtual gift display function, to greatly reduce development costs and development time. In addition, a bullet-screen comment and a gift giving function may be combined, to improve user experience.
