Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, relate in particular to a kind of method, equipment and functional entity of the IPTV of transmission service parameter.
Background technology
Web TV (IPTV) is a kind of broadband cabled television network that utilizes, and integrates multiple technologies such as internet multimedia, communication, and the brand-new technology of the multiple interactive services that comprises Digital Television is provided to the domestic consumer.The user can adopt computer or network machine top box to add the general television set dual mode at home and enjoy the IPTV service.IPTV both had been different from traditional analog cable TV, also was different from Digital Television.Although Digital Television has many technological innovations with respect to simulated television, have only the change of signal, and the circulation way of not touching media content.
IMS based IPTV (based on the IPTV of IMS) provide IPTV business under the overall architecture of IMS, come to provide the multimedia service of streaming media service and fusion Streaming Media and real-time session business to make full use of mechanism such as existing registration, authentication, route, session control and foundation in the IMS network, professional triggering, charging, end-to-end QoS (Quality of Service, service quality) assurance for the user.That is to say that user's Multimedia session is to finish by the existing session control mechanism of IMS, in setting up conversation procedure, need reserve bearing resource for the transmission of Media Stream.
Fig. 1 is normal structure ETSI TISPAN (Telecommunications and Internet convergedServices and Protocols for Advanced Networking, telecommunications and the Internet converged services and high-level network protocol) the business function framework of IMS based IPTV of definition, mainly comprise UE (UserEquipment, subscriber equipment), be responsible for the control of UE Media Stream and IPTV media function (the IPTV Media Functions) entity of payment, the IPTV service control function entity, the UPSF (User Provide Function, the user provides function) of functional entitys such as core IMS and storing user subscription information.Wherein, IPTV Media Functions can be decomposed into MCF (Media ControlFunction, media control function) and MDF (Media Delivery Function, media delivery function) from functional perspective.MDF is some media servers normally, under the control of media control function, transmit the Media Stream that the user needs to user terminal, MCF can also receive the Play Control operation with process user, usually use RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol, real-time streaming protocol) realize, for example F.F. of medium, retreat, suspend, operation such as location.UE communicates by letter with the IPTV media function by transmission process function (Transport ProcessingFunctions), core IMS respectively; Core IMS is connected with the transmission process function by NASS (NetworkAttachment Subsystem, Network Attachment Subsystem) and RACS (Resource and AdmissionControl Subsystem, resource and admission control subsystem).In addition, in IPTV service control function entity, IPTV media control function entity and IPTV media delivery functional entity, comprise respectively: CoD (Content on Demand, content-on-demand) function, BC (Broadcast, broadcast capability) entity and PVR (Person Video Record, personal video recording) function etc.
IPTV UE that the professional control of IPTV UE is used and the ISC interface between the Gm between the Core IMS, Core IMS and Core IMS and the professional control of IPTV (SCF), and the interface between the CSCF of Core IMS inside is all based on Session Initiation Protocol.
As one of basic TV form of programs, real-time television LTV (Linear TV or Live TV) is the highest a kind of television services of present utilization rate.The basic service process of LTV is that user terminal (UE or STB) was shown to the user by the TV program information of acceptance broadcasting and with the programme information that receives after the user started shooting.
TsTV (Time Shift TV, time-moving television) is one of another big main business form among the TV, some programs that the user can use TsTV to watch LTV to play, for example the user has been because time relation has been missed the ball match that certain time broadcasted etc. of watching over, and operations such as the user can retreat in progress TV programme when watching the TsTV TV programme, F.F., time-out.Even the user watches the LTV TV programme, certain time in the past of wishing to jump in watching LTV TV programme process begins to watch, and perhaps wishes to control current TV programme of watching (retreat, F.F., slow-motion, time-out etc.) operation and carries out the TsTV business model.
Because the user is in visit LTV business at first, and when the user transfers the TsTV business model to by the LTV business model, need network side to carry out suitable processing to user's control operation, therefore require network side to provide user's controlled function (Trick Mode) at this LTV channel, user's controlled function refers to controls such as the user can retreat media content, F.F., slow-motion, time-out, redirect.
But usually network side is not all to provide user's controlled function function to all channels, and promptly some channel user can carry out the time shift operation other and then can not.Therefore whether support user controlled function if when terminal request is visited certain LTV channel, can obtain this LTV channel.Even because reason such as the user is signatory,, but might this user do not possess the authority of user's controlled function even provide user's controlled function function for certain channel network side.Therefore IPTV UE needs and can determine whether allow to use user's controlled function function for accessed channel by certain approach after business was set up Cheng Qian or professional foundation, and need know the situation of the metadata (service parameter) of channel, program or content.
Yet in the prior art, the parameter of transmitting between IPTV UE and the service equipment is very limited, can not obtain about whether allowing service parameter that uses user's controlled function function, channel, program or content etc. by these parameters.
