  • Publication number: 20230186452
    Abstract: This application provides techniques for generating a video cover. The techniques comprise monitoring whether the browser enters a target page; initializing a main thread and creating a frame extraction thread and an image evaluation thread; monitoring a target action on the target page extracting a plurality of target frames from the local video file using the webassembly video parser running by the frame extraction thread; determining image evaluation parameters of each of the plurality of target frame using the trained image evaluation model running by the image evaluation thread; obtaining the image evaluation parameters of each of the plurality of target frames from the image evaluation thread by the main thread, selecting one or more candidate frames from the plurality of target frames based on the image evaluation parameters of each of the plurality of target frames, and generating the video cover based on the one or more candidate frames.

  • Patent number: 11451858
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques of processing information flow and synchronously displaying image s, mask frames and comment information. According to the present disclosure, a system processes a first information stream uploaded by a stream pushing terminal to obtain a frame image and mask frame data, the mask frame data corresponding to the frame image and identifying a timestamp offset indicative of a time difference between the mask frame data and a playing timestamp of the frame image. The system synthesizes the frame image and the mask frame data to generate a second information stream; and output the second information stream to a client for synchronously displaying the image frame, a corresponding mask frame, and the comment information.

  • Patent number: 11374995
    Abstract: Techniques for processing a multimedia file in real-time are described herein. The disclosed techniques include receiving a plurality of fragments of a multimedia file by a data stream conversion service, wherein the data stream conversion service receives a first fragment containing metadata of the multimedia file and then receives other fragments of the multimedia file in a predetermined order; sending a notification message to a message queue by the data stream conversion service in response to receiving the first fragment, wherein the notification message includes the metadata of the multimedia file and a corresponding Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) interface address; obtaining the notification message from the message queue by an encoding and decoding service; and processing the other fragments of the multimedia file based at least in part on the notification message by the encoding and decoding service.
