DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0035] Below, the present disclosure is further described in detail in connection with embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for switching a living broadcast between a landscape broadcasting mode and a portrait broadcasting mode, applicable to a live broadcast website. The method includes the steps of: [0037] S1, an administrator setting, at the administration back end 2, categories and category settings for live video broadcast; specifically, the category settings include category name, category cover, category serial number and presenter's authority. [0038] S2, the administrator adding, at the administration back end 2, a landscape option and portrait option for the live broadcasting videos into each of the catergories; specifically, the specific process of step S2 includes: the administrator adding an additional category record to a relational database management system, i.e. MySQL database, of the administration back end 2, and then adding a cached data of the category record to a Redis database of the administration back end 2, so that the adding of the landscape option and the portrait option is completed. [0039] S3, a presenter selecting, on a client terminal (1), a landscape broadcasting mode or a portrait broadcasting mode as a live broadcasting mode, and selecting the category as well as the landscape or portrait option for a live broadcasting video; specifically, step S3 further includes: the presenter selecting the landscape or portrait option for a live broadcasting video, and the administration back end 2 verifying whether the selection performed by the presenter meets a time limit condition, wherein if the selection performed by the presenter meets the time limit condition, step S4 is performed; otherwise, the administration back end 2 returns to the client terminal 1 a message indicating that the selecting fails, and performance of the method ends. The time limit condition is that a time period during which the presenter selects the category is greater than a preset value set by the administrator. The time condition provided for the presenter to select the landscape or portrait mode is limited, which prevents the presenter from switching between different modes frequently, thus excessive pressure to the server is avoided. [0040] S4, the presenter selecting to start the live broadcast, and the administration back end (2) verifying whether the landscape or portrait option selected by the presenter is consistent with the selected live broadcasting mode, wherein if the landscape or portrait option selected by the presenter is consistent with the selected live broadcasting mode, step S6 is performed, otherwise, step S5 is performed; [0041] S5, the administration back end 2 modifying the landscape or portrait option selected by the presenter, i.e. modifying the selected option for live broadcast into the portrait category, and modifying the selected option for portrait broadcasting mode into the landscape category. It is verified that whether the option selected by the presenter is consistent with the selected live broadcasting mode, which prevents the occurrence of the case where portrait broadcasting mode occurs in a studio of the landscape broadcasting mode, or landscape broadcasting mode occurs in a studio of the portrait broadcasting mode. [0042] S6, allowing, by the administration back end 2, the live broadcasting to start, and ending. The administrator modifies the category record in the relational database management system, i.e. MySQL database, of the administration back end 2, and then adding a cached data of the modified category record to a Redis database of the administration back end 2, so that the modification of category to the landscape or portrait category is completed. [0043] Step S6 further includes: after the live broadcast is finished, the presenter selecting to turn off the live broadcast, and the administration back end 2 clearing the landscape or portrait option selected by the presenter so as to allow the live broadcast to be turned off.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 2, in order to simplify the presenter's selection for the landscape or portrait option, step S6 further includes: [0045] S601, the administration back end 2 allowing the live broadcast to start, and the administration back end 2 determining whether the live broadcast is in the portrait broadcasting mode, wherein if the live broadcast is in the portrait screen broadcasting mode, step S603 is directly performed; otherwise, step S602 is performed; [0046] S602, the administration back end 2 recording a log for the presenter's category operation; [0047] S603, the presenter selecting to turn off the live broadcast, after the live broadcast is finished ; [0048] S604, the administration back end 2 determining whether the live broadcast is in the portrait broadcasting mode, wherein if the live broadcast is in the portrait broadcasting mode, step S605 is performed; otherwise, step S606 is performed; [0049] S605, the administration back end 2 clearing the landscape or portrait option selected by the presenter, and automatically returning to the landscape or portrait option in the log for the presenter's category operation with the log recorded in step S602 for a last time; and [0050] S606, allowing, by the administration back end 2, the live broadcast to be turned off, and endings.

[0051] The presenter's each selection for landscape broadcasting mode is recorded, and the administration back end clearing the landscape or portrait option selected by the presenter, and automatically returning to the landscape option the landscape category setting in the log for the landscape broadcasting mode for a last time, so that if landscape broadcasting mode is to be carried out next time, the presenter unnecessarily perform again selecting operation on the landscape category, which simplifies the operations by the presenter.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure further discloses a system for switching a living broadcast between a landscape broadcasting mode and a portrait broadcasting mode, applicable to a live broadcast website. The system includes: [0053] a client terminal 1 and an administration back end 2. [0054] specifically, the client terminal 1 is configured to receive a category of a live broadcasting video, a landscape or portrait option and a live broadcasting mode which are selected by a presenter, and send the selected category, the selected landscape or portrait option and the selected live broadcasting mode to the administration back end 2; [0055] the administration back end 2 includes: a category setting module 21 configured to set categories and category settings for live broadcasting videos, and add a landscape option and a portrait option for the live broadcasting videos; a category verifying module 22 configured to receive, from the client terminal 1, the category of the live broadcasting video, the landscape or portrait option and the live broadcasting mode which are selected by the presenter, and verify whether the landscape or portrait option selected by the presenter is consistent with the live broadcasting mode; a category modification module 23 configured to modify the landscape or portrait option selected by the presenter, and clear the landscape or portrait option selected by the presenter after the live broadcast is finished; a data storage module 24 configured to store an category record added by an administrator and a cached data of the category record; and a live broadcast status control module 25 configured to control starting of the live broadcast and turning-off of the live broadcast.
