COORDINATED PRIMARY MEDIA STREAM WITH AGGREGATE SUPPLEMENTAL MEDIA STREAM
20220408156 · 2022-12-22 ·

Providing a coordinated primary media stream with an aggregate supplemental media stream is disclosed. A request is received from an end user device associated with a user for supplemental media. Metadata and a broadcast time associated with a primary media stream transmitted to the end user device are determined. Based on the metadata and the broadcast time, first supplemental media from a first account of the user on a first platform and second supplemental media from a second account of the user on a second platform are determined. The first supplemental media and the second supplemental media are merged into an aggregate supplemental media stream. The aggregate supplemental media stream is streamed in synchronization with the primary media stream.

Community boosting of stream visibility

It may be determined when at least one boost achievement condition is satisfied for temporarily boosting visibility of a video streaming channel within one or more interfaces of a video streaming service. The boosting of the visibility of the video streaming channel may be initiated based on satisfaction of the at least one boost achievement condition. It may be determined when at least one boost reward condition is satisfied. The boosting of the visibility of the video streaming channel may be terminated based on satisfaction of the at least one boost reward condition. The at least one boost achievement condition and the at least one boost reward condition may differ for different video streaming channels and may be determined based at least in part on viewership of the different video streaming channels.

20220394356 · 2022-12-08 · ·

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for acquiring prop information, a device, and a computer readable storage medium. The method comprises: receiving, by a transaction platform, information on game props during a live broadcast of a game, and generating an identification code for accessing the information on game props; and transmitting, by the transaction platform, the identification code to a live broadcast platform, so as to enable the live broadcast platform to display the identification code in a live broadcast screen.

Overriding multimedia device
11523189 · 2022-12-06 · ·

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for switching the output of an overriding multimedia device from a first input to a second input or a combination of the first input and the second input. An example embodiment operates by receiving sensor data detected by a sensing device and relating to a multimedia switching event. The example embodiment further operates by determining that sensor data detected by a sensing device corresponds to a multimedia switching action. In response, the example embodiment operates by generating a multimedia switching actuation signal that instructs an overriding multimedia device to switch its output from the first multimedia signal to the second multimedia signal. Subsequently, the example embodiment operates by transmitting the multimedia switching actuation signal to the overriding multimedia device.

Generating notifications that provide context for predicted content interruptions

Implementations set forth herein relate to providing notifications regarding events that may interrupt content being rendered at an interface. The notifications can be preemptive and/or can indicate a predicted time and/or source for the events. The event can be, for example, a person attempting to contact a user who is viewing content at a display interface. The person can be associated with a food delivery that has been ordered by the user via a delivery application. An application, such an automated assistant application, can predict when the person is expected to arrive with the food delivery, and generate a notification ahead of the person arriving. In some implementations, the notification can be rendered at a scrubber user interface (UI) at a location corresponding to the time that the food delivery is expected to arrive, thereby putting the user on notice of when the streaming content may be interrupted.

METHOD FOR ALLOCATING RESOURCES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
20220385973 · 2022-12-01 ·

A method for allocating resources is provided. A server acquires resource allocation weights corresponding to a plurality of first user accounts in a virtual space, and generates a first resource quantity corresponding to each of the first user accounts by dividing a target resource quantity corresponding to the plurality of first user accounts, and allocates the resources of the target resource quantity to the plurality of first user accounts based on the first resource quantity corresponding to each of the first user accounts. The first user accounts are configured to publish live-streaming data into the virtual space for co-hosting.
