Abstract

This application provides techniques of generating non-fungible token props to be displayed in live rooms. The techniques comprise determining a virtual prop associated with one of a plurality of live rooms in which an online streamer performs livestreaming; determining a set of material components of the virtual prop; generating a set of visual materials based on configuring a plurality of visual materials for each of the set of material components; and generating a set of non-fungible token props corresponding to the virtual prop based on a plurality of sets of visual materials corresponding to the set of material components, wherein an identifier is assigned to each of the set of non-fungible token props for identification.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of generating non-fungible token props to be displayed in live rooms, applied to a server, the method comprising:
determining a prop associated with one of a plurality of live rooms in which an online streamer performs livestreaming;
determining a set of material components of the prop;
generating a set of visual materials based on configuring a plurality of visual materials for each of the set of material components;
generating a set of non-fungible token props corresponding to the prop based on a plurality of sets of visual materials corresponding to the set of material components, wherein an identifier is assigned to each of the set of non-fungible token props for identification;
receiving a prop display instruction, wherein the prop display instruction carries an identifier of identifying a non-fungible token prop among the set of non-fungible token props and a live room identifier of identifying a live room where the non-fungible token prop is to be displayed;
determining use duration associated with the non-fungible token prop based on the identifier of identifying the non-fungible token prop, wherein the use duration indicates a remaining duration of using the non-fungible token prop;
in response to determining that the use duration is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, determining the non-fungible token prop based on the identifier, and determining the live room based on the live room identifier; and
in response to determining that the use duration is less than the preset threshold, generating and transmitting a notification indicative of an expiration of the non-fungible token prop.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
creating a table indicating an allocation of the set non-fungible token props among users, wherein the table is configured to record corresponding relationships between the set of non-fungible token props and the users, wherein the table comprises non-fungible token prop identifiers and user identifiers.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving an instruction of obtaining a non-fungible token prop from a client computing device associated with a user, wherein the instruction carries an identifier of identifying the user;
determining a subset of non-fungible token props based on the table in response to the instruction, wherein the subset of non-fungible token props has not been allocated to any user; determining a target non-fungible token among the subset of non-fungible token props and allocating the target non-fungible token to the user; and
storing a corresponding relationship between the target non-fungible token and the user into the table.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein before the determining a subset of non-fungible token props based on the table in response to the instruction, the method further comprises:
determining a quantity of non-fungible token props that have been allocated to the user based on the table;
in response to determining that the quantity of non-fungible token props is less than a preset threshold, determining the subset of non-fungible token props based on table in response to the instruction; and
in response to determining that the quantity of non-fungible token props is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, generating and transmitting a notification indicating that the quantity of non-fungible token props associated with the user has reached an upper limit.

5. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving an instruction of transferring a non-fungible token prop among the set of non-fungible token props, wherein the instruction carries an identifier of identifying the non-fungible token prop, a first user identifier of identifying a first user from whom the non-fungible token prop is to be transferred, and a second user identifier of identifying a second user to whom the non-fungible token prop is to be transferred; and
in response to determining that the table stores a corresponding relationship between the non-fungible token prop and the first user, updating the table by reallocating the non-fungible token prop to the second user.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
sending the non-fungible token prop to client computing devices associated with the live room for display.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the sending the non-fungible token prop to client computing devices further comprises:
obtaining a set of visual material identifiers associated with the non-fungible token prop; and
sending the set of visual material identifiers to the client computing devices.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
configuring a weight value indicative of material rareness for each of the set of visual materials corresponding to each material component; and
determining a weight value indicative of prop rareness for each of the set of non-fungible token props based on the weight value indicative of material rareness for each of the set of visual materials corresponding to each material component.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the generating a set of non-fungible token props corresponding to the prop based on a plurality of sets of visual materials corresponding to the set of material components further comprises synthesizing a visual material from each set of visual materials corresponding to each material component into a non-fungible token prop among the set of non-fungible token props.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the synthesizing a visual material from each set of visual materials corresponding to each material component into a non-fungible token prop is implemented by the server or a client computing device.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein an animation of the non-fungible token prop is generated and displayed while displaying the non-fungible token prop on the client computing device.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein a prop list corresponding to the prop is displayed on the client computing device in response to receiving an instruction of sending a gift prop in a live room, and wherein the prop list comprises the prop and the set of non-fungible token props corresponding to the prop.

13. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a plurality of sets of non-fungible token props corresponding to a plurality of props.

14. A server computing system of generating non-fungible token props to be displayed in live rooms, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and comprising computer-readable instructions that upon execution by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
determining a prop associated with one of a plurality of live rooms in which an online streamer performs livestreaming;
determining a set of material components of the prop;
generating a set of visual materials based on configuring a plurality of visual materials for each of the set of material components;
generating a set of non-fungible token props corresponding to the prop based on a plurality of sets of visual materials corresponding to the set of material components, wherein an identifier is assigned to each of the set of non-fungible token props for identification;
receiving a prop display instruction, wherein the prop display instruction carries an identifier of identifying a non-fungible token prop among the set of non-fungible token props and a live room identifier of identifying a live room where the non-fungi
