Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system, a method and a computer-readable medium for video processing. The method includes receiving a gifting signal from a user terminal; obtaining a first video of a distributor from a first timing in response to receiving the gifting signal; generating a second video by overlapping an effect corresponding to the gifting signal onto the first video at a second timing, wherein the second timing is later than the first timing.

Claims (32)

1. A method for video processing, executed by a server, comprising:

receiving a gifting signal from a user terminal;

obtaining a first video of a distributor from a first timing in response to receiving the gifting signal;

determining a gift included in the gifting signal belongs to a best moment gift through checking a best moment tag;

displaying an effect corresponding to the gifting signal directly in the first video of the distributor when the gift is determined not belonging to the best moment gift, where the effect is allowed to over a distributor's face in the first video of the distributor; and

generating a second video by overlapping an effect corresponding to the gifting signal onto the first video at a second timing when the gift is determined belonging to the best moment gift, where a face portion of the distributor in the first video is detected, and a position, a transparency, or a shape of the effect is adjusted to prevent the distributor's face from being covered by the effect,

wherein the second timing is later than the first timing.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the second video is the same as a length of the first video.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

storing the second video in a second address different from a first address from which the first video is obtained; and

informing the user terminal about the second address.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying the second video in a live stream of the distributor on the user terminal.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

enabling the user terminal to display a countdown message indicating upcoming of the effect in response to receiving the gifting signal.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

storing the second video in a database in association with the distributor,

wherein the database stores data for a clip page, a post page, or a private message page of the distributor.

7. A system for video processing, comprising one or a plurality of processors, wherein the one or plurality of processors execute a machine-readable instruction to perform:

receiving a gifting signal from a user terminal;

obtaining a first video of a distributor from a first timing in response to receiving the gifting signal;

determining whether a gift included in the gifting signal belongs to a best moment gift through checking a best moment tag;

displaying an effect corresponding to the gifting signal directly in the first video of the distributor when the gift is determined not belonging to the best moment gift, where the effect is allowed to cover a distributor's face in the first video of the distributor; and

generating a second video by overlapping an effect corresponding to the gifting signal onto the first video at a second timing when the gift is determined belonging to the best moment gift, where a face portion of the distributor in the first video is detected, and a position, a transparency, or a shape of the effect is adjusted to prevent the distributor's face from being covered by the effect,

wherein the second timing is later than the first timing.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a program for video processing, wherein the program causes one or a plurality of computers to execute:

receiving a gifting signal from a user terminal;

obtaining a first video of a distributor from a first timing in response to receiving the gifting signal;

determining whether a gift included in the gifting signal belongs to a best moment gift through checking a best moment tag,

displaying an effect corresponding to the gifting signal directly in the first video of the distributor when the gift is determined not belonging to the best moment gift, where the effect is allowed to cover a distributor's face in the first video of the distributor; and

generating a second video by overlapping an effect corresponding to the gifting signal onto the first video at a second timing when the gift is determined belonging to the best moment gift, where a face portion of the distributor in the first video is detected, and a position, a transparency, or a shape of the effect is adjusted to prevent the distributor's face from being covered by the effect,

wherein the second timing is later than the first timing.
