Abstract

The present disclosure provides a live video broadcast method performed by a terminal device. The method includes: receiving a live broadcast command to live broadcast a video game in real time, and creating a video buffer for the video game based on the live broadcast command; while playing the video game in real time, extracting video picture frames from the video game and storing them in the video buffer; collecting voice data by using a microphone of the terminal device, and synchronously synthesize the voice data and the video picture frames stored in the video buffer into a video streaming media file; and uploading the video streaming media file to a live broadcast server for live broadcasting the video streaming media file on other mobile devices.

Claims (81)

1. A live video broadcast method performed at a terminal device, the method comprising:

receiving a live broadcast command to live broadcast a video game in real time;

creating a video buffer based on the live broadcast command for storing one or more game pictures of the video game in real time;

while playing the video game in real time:

extracting a plurality of video picture frames from the video game;

storing the plurality of video picture frames in the video buffer;

displaying the plurality of video picture frames on a display of the terminal device;

collecting voice data using a microphone of the terminal device in real time;

synchronously synthesizing the voice data and the plurality of video picture frames stored in the video buffer into a video streaming media file corresponding to the video game; and

uploading the video streaming media file to a live broadcast server for live broadcasting the video streaming media file on other mobile devices.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of creating a video buffer based on the live broadcast command comprises:

invoking a pre-configured mounting component based on the live broadcast command;

replacing a picture loading method using the mounting component; and

creating a corresponding video buffer based on the replaced picture loading method.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the operation of replacing a picture loading method using the mounting component comprise:

detecting whether the picture loading method is invoked; and

replacing a picture drawing method in the picture loading method when the picture loading method is invoked, so as to detect updating of the video picture frame by using the game engine.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the live broadcast server is configured to perform the live broadcasting by:

receiving comment information associated with the video game from the other mobile devices;

synthesizing the comment information and the video streaming media file, to obtain a live streaming media file with comments; and

performing a broadcast operation on the live streaming media file with comments to the other mobile devices,

wherein a respective mobile device is configured to display the comments from other mobile devices that are currently live broadcasting the video game.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the live broadcast server is configured to perform the live broadcasting by:

receiving barrage comments information associated with the video game from the mobile devices;

performing a broadcast operation on the video streaming media file; and

synchronously superimposing the barrage comments information on the associated video picture frames of the video streaming media file on a playback screen of the terminal device.

6. A terminal device, comprising:

one or more processors;

memory coupled to the one or more processors; and

a plurality of programs stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the terminal device to perform a live video broadcast method including:

receiving a live broadcast command to live broadcast a video game in real time;

creating a video buffer based on the live broadcast command for storing one or more game pictures of the video game in real time;

while playing the video game in real time:

detecting and extracting a plurality of video picture frames from the video game;

storing the plurality of video picture frames in the video buffer;

displaying the plurality of video picture frames in the video buffer on a display of the terminal device;

collecting voice data using a microphone of the terminal device in real time;

synchronously synthesizing the voice data and the plurality of video picture frames stored in the video buffer into a video streaming media file corresponding to the video game; and

uploading the video streaming media file to a live broadcast server for live broadcasting the video streaming media file on other mobile devices.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the operation of creating a video buffer based on the live broadcast command comprises:

invoking a pre-configured mounting component based on the live broadcast command;

replacing a picture loading method using the mounting component; and

creating a corresponding video buffer based on the replaced picture loading method.

8. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the operation of replacing a picture loading method using the mounting component comprise:

detecting whether the picture loading method is invoked; and

replacing a picture drawing method in the picture loading method when the picture loading method is invoked, so as to detect updating of the video picture frame by using the game engine.

9. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the live broadcast server is configured to perform the live broadcasting by:

receiving comment information associated with the video game from the other mobile devices;

synthesizing the comment information and the video streaming media file, to obtain a live streaming media file with comments; and

performing a broadcast operation on the live streaming media file with comments to the other mobile devices,

wherein a respective mobile device is configured to display the comments from other mobile devices that are currently live broadcasting the video game.

10. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the live broadcast server is configured to perform the live broadcasting by:

receiving barrage comments information associated with the video game from the mobile devices;

performing a broadcast operation on the video streaming media file; and

synchronously superimposing the barrage comments information on the associated video picture frames of the video streaming media file on a playback screen of the terminal device.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions in connection with a terminal device, wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by one or more processors of the terminal device, cause the terminal device to perform a live video broadcast method including:

receiving a live broadcast command to live broadcast a video game in real time;

creating a video buffer based on the live broadcast command for storing one or more game pictures of the video game in real time;

while playing the video game in real time:

detecting and extracting a plurality of video picture frames from the video game;

storing the plurality of video picture frames in the video buffer;

displaying the plurality of video picture frames in the video buffer on a display of the terminal device;

collecting voice data using a microphone of the terminal device in real time;

synchronously synthesizing the voice data and the plurality of video picture frames stored in the video buffer into a video streaming media file corresponding to the video game; and

uploading the video streaming media file to a live broadcast server for live broadcasting the video streaming media file on other mobile devices.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the operation of creating a video buffer based on the live broadcast command comprises:

invoking a pre-configured mounting component based on the live broadcast command;

replacing a picture loading method using the mounting component; and

creating a corresponding video buffer based on the replaced picture loading method.

13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 12 , wherein the operation of replacing a picture loading method using the mounting component comprise:
