DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to understand the above objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly, the schemes of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Apparently, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments.

The technical scheme disclosed by the present disclosure may be applied to terminal device, and the terminal device may be a computer, a tablet, a mobile phone or other intelligent electronic device. The terminal device has a display screen which may be a touch screen or a non-touch screen. For a terminal device with a touch screen, the user may implement interactive operation with the terminal device through gestures, fingers or touch control tools (e.g., a stylus). For terminal device with a non-touch screen, interactive operation with the terminal device may be implemented through external device (e.g., mouse or keyboard).

The technical scheme of the present disclosure is applied to a livestreaming scenario, and the users can enter the livestreaming scenario use the following possible implementations, but not limited thereto. One of the implementations is to enter the livestreaming scenario through an APP with livestreaming function installed on terminal device, and the APP may only have livestreaming function or may have other functions at the same time, such as short video sharing function, which is not limited by the present disclosure. Another one of the implementations is to enter the livestreaming scenario through an applet, by scanning QR code, by identifying QR code, or the like. Yet another one of the implementations is to enter the livestreaming scenario through a webpage. The present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation to enter the livestreaming scenario, as long as the user can acquire the user information permitted by the user in entering the livestreaming scenario.

The livestreaming scenario of the present disclosure may be a virtual livestreaming room or a preview stream. If the livestreaming scenario is a preview stream, it is possible to enter the virtual livestreaming room through an anchor point of a preview stream display interface.FIG.1is a diagram of a live video interface provided by the present disclosure, andFIG.2is a diagram of another live video interface provided by the present disclosure. A live video played in the preview stream is shown inFIG.1. It is possible to consider the entire display area in the preview stream live video interface as the anchor point to enter the virtual livestreaming room, or consider part of the display area in the preview stream live video interface as the anchor point to enter the virtual livestreaming room. The virtual livestreaming room may be entered by clicking on any position in the preview stream live video interface. The live video played in the virtual livestreaming room is shown inFIG.2.

The played live video in the present disclosure may be a course teaching, a competition or a show, etc. Only some users with viewing permission are allowed to watch the played live video, whereas some users without viewing permission are allowed to take a preview. During the preview or after the end of the preview, non-permitted users may acquire viewing permission.

The target object in the present disclosure may be a permission credential for watching a live video played in a preview stage. The first permission control may be a control for acquiring the permission credential. After the triggering of the first permission control, the target object introduction page is displayed. The target object introduction page displays privileges gained after acquiring the target object, a simple introduction of live content and a second permission control.

The second permission control in the present disclosure is a control for confirming the acquisition of the permission credential. A permission operation interface is displayed upon triggering of the second permission control, and the permission operation interface includes at least one operation item, including an operation item for confirming the acquisition of the permission credential and an operation item for giving up the acquisition of the permission credential. After completing an operation of the operation item for confirming the acquisition of the permission credential, the user may acquire the viewing permission of the live video played in the preview stage, return to the live video interface, continue to play the video stream and watch the complete live video. As such, only the users with acquired viewing permission can watch the complete live video, which implements permission management.

For example, the played live video may be a concert, and the target object is a ticket for watching the concert. The first permission control may be a ticket purchase control, which, upon triggering of the ticket purchase control, displays an introduction of basic information of the concert, privileges of the users with purchased tickets and a control for confirming ticket purchase, and displays, upon the user's triggering of the control for confirming ticket purchase, a resource transferring interface. The user can obtain a concert ticket after completing the resource transferring in the resource transferring interface, and then the user can watch the complete concert. Or, the user can give up the resource transferring in the resource transferring interface to give up obtaining the ticket, in which case the user cannot continue to watch the concert after the end of the preview.

It should be noted that the interface names or control names involved in the present disclosure may serve as examples, or may be replaced by other names implementing the same functions, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

The following describes the technical scheme of the present disclosure with several specific embodiments:

FIG.3is a flowchart of a livestreaming method provided by the present disclosure, as illustrated inFIG.3, comprising:

S101: displaying a target object introduction page in response to triggering of the first permission control corresponding to a target object, during the playing of a live video in a preview stage or after the end of the playing of the live video in the preview stage.

The target introduction page includes the second permission control. A live video stream is blurred or stopped from being pushed after the end of playing of the live video in the preview stage.

Exemplarily,FIG.4is a diagram of yet another live video interface provided by the present disclosure,FIG.5is a diagram of yet another live video interface provided by the present disclosure, andFIG.6is a diagram of yet another live video interface provided by the present disclosure. In the case where the live video in the preview stage is played in the virtual livestreaming room, the user may trigger the first permission control displayed on the live video interface during the playing or after the end of the playing, as illustrated inFIG.2. The target object introduction page is displayed in response to the triggering of the first permission control, as illustrated inFIG.4. In the case where the live video in the preview stage is played in the preview stream, the user may trigger the first permission control displayed on the live video interface after the end of the playing, as illustrated inFIG.5. The target object introduction page is displayed in response to the triggering of the first permission control, as illustrated inFIG.6.

During the playing of the live video in the preview stage in the virtual livestreaming room or in the preview stream, the live video interface displays a preview countdown to remind the user of the time when the preview ends. As illustrated inFIG.1andFIG.2, the preview duration of the present disclosure is a sum of the duration of the live video watched through the virtual livestreaming room and the duration of the live video watched through the preview stream. After the end of playing of the live video in the preview stage in the virtual livestreaming room, the live video stream may be blurred, as illustrated inFIG.5. For example, the live video stream may be Gaussian blurred, so that the live video interface watched by the user displays the blurred live video, further, the voice of the blurred live video may be muted. Alternatively, the live video stream may be stopped from being pushed, so that the live video is no longer displayed in the live video interface watched by the user. No matter whether the live video stream is blurred or stopped from being pushed, it is impossible to display the live video normally after the preview for the users without the viewing permission.

S103: displaying a permission operation interface in response to the triggering of the second permission control.

The permission operation interface includes at least one operation item.

The permission operation interface includes an operation item for confirming the acquisition of viewing permission and an operation item for giving up the acquisition of viewing permission. In the case where the user completes an operation of the operation item for confirming the acquisition of the viewing permission, he/she may acquire the viewing permission of the live video played in the preview stage. In the case where the user completes an operation of the operation item for giving up the acquisition of the viewing permission, he/she cannot acquire the viewing permission of the live video played in the preview stage. The permission operation interface may be a half screen superimposed on the live video interface, or may cover the live video interface.

S105: returning to a live video interface and playing the live video, in response to the completing of the operation of at least one operation item of the permission operation interface.

By sequentially triggering the first permission control, triggering the second permission control, and completing the operation of the operation item for confirming the acquisition of the viewing permission in the permission operation interface, the user can acquire the viewing permission of the live video played in the preview stage. Returning to the live video interface and playing the live video upon detecting the viewing permission of the user-so that the user with the acquired viewing permission can continue to watch the live video until the end of the live video. That is, the users with the viewing permission can watch the complete live video.

The technical scheme disclosed by the present disclosure may be implemented by: displaying a target object introduction page including the second permission control in response to triggering of the first permission control corresponding to a target object, during playing of a live video in a preview stage or after the end of playing of a live video in a preview stage; displaying a permission operation interface in response to triggering of the second permission control, the permission operation interface including at least one operation item; returning to a live video interface and playing the live video, in response to completing of operation of at least one operation item of the permission operation interface. Alive video stream is blurred or stopped from being pushed after the end of playing of the live video in the preview stage. As such, the user can acquire a permission to watch the live video by sequentially triggering the first permission control, triggering the second permission control, and completing the operation of at least one operation item of the permission operation interface, and the user returns to the live video interface to watch the complete live video after acquiring the viewing permission, which improves the user experience.
