Method and system for sharing live broadcast data including determining if an electronic device is a seed device in response to determining the relationship a random value has with a setting value

A sharing method comprising:

• receiving, at a first electronic device, high quality live stream data through a high quality channel;
• playing back the high quality live stream data;
• receiving, at the first electronic device, a setting value from a server;
• generating, at the first electronic device, a random value;
• determining, at the first electronic device, whether the first electronic device is a seed device based on the setting value and the random value;
• receiving, at the first electronic device, low quality live stream data through a low quality channel as the first electronic device is set as the seed device in response to creation of the high quality channel;
• and
• sharing the received low quality live stream data by transmitting the received low quality live stream data,
• wherein the determining includes,
• determining the first electronic device is a seed device in response to determining the random value has a first relationship with the setting value, and
• determining the first electronic device is not a seed device in response to determining the random value has a second relationship with the setting value, the second relationship being different than the first relationship.

A first electronic device comprising:

• memory storing computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions such that the one or more processors are configured to,
• receive high quality live stream data through a high quality channel in response to a user selection on the high quality channel,
• receive, at the first electronic device, a setting value from a server,
• generate, at the first electronic device, a random value,
• determine, at the first electronic device, whether the first electronic device is a seed device based on the setting value and the random value,
• receive low quality live stream data through a low quality channel as the first electronic device is set as the seed device in response to creation of the high quality channel,
• play back the received high quality live stream data, and
• share the received low quality live stream data by transmitting the received low quality live stream data,
• wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions such that the determining includes,
• determining the first electronic device is a seed device in response to determining the random value has a first relationship with the setting value, and
• determining the first electronic device is not a seed device in response to determining the random value has a second relationship with the setting value, the second relationship being different than the first relationship.
