Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Example one
The method for controlling program recording of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, includes the following steps:
step S101: the management server acquires the popularity information of the program from the popularity statistic server before the cache time of the program is reached;
in this step, two time attributes are typically set at channel creation, one is the cache time T1 (tstvttime) and one is the TVOD time T2 (tvodtime); wherein T2> - [ T1 ]. The recording server uses unified storage to store programs, and if no recording plan (i.e., recording task) is issued, the segments of the channel are deleted after time T1; if a recording plan is issued, the fragment of the recording server is not deleted until T2. Therefore, the management server needs to acquire the popularity information of the program from the popularity statistic server before reaching the program cache time, otherwise, the program cannot be recorded after being deleted. The heat server and the management server may be the same server. It is to be noted that the heat information here indicates the degree of attention to the program, i.e., how many people like the program; specifically, the number of times of requesting the program, the number of times of collecting the program, the number of comments, the viewing time, and the like can be used, and the program is understood to be the popular degree of the program, as long as the program is a hotspot or not. For example, everyone currently likes to see "running bar, brother" and "i are singers" and relatively few "animal world" for some science and education films, such as "running bar, brother" on demand times of 5 hundred million and "i are singers" on demand times of 6 hundred million, and "animal world" on demand times of 8 million. It is known to avoid users from watching programs by recording these programs in all recording servers (say 220 recording servers) for the subsequent users to watch them on demand. Obviously, for the animal world, if recording storage is performed in each recording server, unnecessary recording servers are occupied, which results in waste of resources and high cost.
Step S102: the management server determines the number of recording servers for recording programs according to the heat information;
in this step, the specific management server checks whether the program is a hot spot, if the program is a hot spot, it indicates that there are many on-demand people, and it can be predicted that there are likely to be more users to use later, then more recording servers are needed to record and store the program to ensure that there are enough resources for users to use, if the program is not a hot spot, it indicates that there are few on-demand people to order the program later, and it is not necessary to occupy more recording servers. It should be noted that the recording server herein is a server that has a storage function and can provide on-demand services to users. For example, if the number of "running bar, brother" on demand is 5 hundred million and the number of "i is singer" on demand is 6 hundred million, and there are more possible people on demand later, then 100 recording servers are used for recording and storing; and the 'animal world' dibbling times are 8 million, and probably the later dibbling people are fewer, so 10 recording servers are adopted for recording and storing.
Step S103: the management server selects a number of recording servers from all recording servers to be recorded;
in this step, the number of recording servers determined in step S103 is selected from those to be recorded. As described with reference to the example in the above step, if it is determined in step S103 that 10 recording servers for recording the "animal world" program exist, 10 recording servers are selected. The recording server to be recorded herein mainly refers to a recording server which is idle and not occupied.
Step S104: and the management server transmits a recording task for informing of recording the program to the selected recording server.
In this step, the recording task corresponding to the program is mainly issued to the corresponding selected recording server. Specifically, a recording task is added to a corresponding recording server, that is, the recording task is inserted into a recording task table, and then a recording plan is issued to the corresponding recording server. By combining the above example, if the recording task for recording the program in the 'animal world' is issued to the 10 correspondingly selected recording servers, the recording server which does not issue the recording task does not need to record the program in the 'animal world', so that the storage space is greatly reduced, and the cost of the recording server is further reduced.
Specifically, in step S102, when the popularity information includes the number of on-demand times, the determining, by the management server, the number of recording servers that record the program according to the popularity information includes: the management server takes the on-demand times as the heat value of the program; setting a plurality of recording servers as recording servers of a plurality of grades, wherein the recording servers of different grades at least comprise one recording server; and the management server determines the recording server with the corresponding level according to different heat values. It should be understood that, here, how many recording servers are selected is determined according to the number of times of program on demand, for convenience of management and operation, the recording servers are classified into classes, for example, a certain number of recording servers are set to be a class, and when a preset condition is met, all the recording servers on the class are directly started, so that the selected recording server can be quickly determined while saving storage space is ensured. To explain in connection with the above example, if 220 recording servers are set to 3 levels, level 1, level 2, and level 3, respectively; there are 50 recording servers in level 1, 70 recording servers in level 2, and 100 recording servers in level 3. If ten million are requested to be a heat value, the heat values of the running bar, the brother, the singer and the animal world are 60, 50 and 8 respectively; and if the predetermined value is greater than 0 and less than 30, it is level 1; when the heat value is more than 30 and less than 60, the level is 2; when the heat value is more than 60, the corresponding grade is 3; when the level 2 is selected by default, the recording servers in the level 1 are started at the same time, and when the level 3 is adopted, the recording servers in the level 1 and the level 2 are started at the same time, namely when the heat value is greater than 30 and less than 60, all the recording servers in the level 1 and the level 2 are started; when the popularity value is more than 60 and corresponds to all the recording servers in the level 1, the level 2 and the level 3, if the recording servers in the level 1, the brother and the singer are in the level 2, the recording servers in the level 1, the brother and the singer are simultaneously started to record and store the recording servers in the level 1 and the level 2, namely, the recording servers in the level 1 and the level 2 are simultaneously started to record and store the recording servers in the level 1, the brother and the singer, namely, 120 recording servers are used to record and store the recording servers in the level 1, the brother and the singer. The animal world has the level 1 recording storage, namely 60 recording servers are used for recording and storing the animal world. It should be understood that the rank setting of the servers is only for convenience of management, and specifically, the method may be implemented in a manner that an appropriate number of recording servers can be selected according to the popularity information of the program.
Furthermore, in order to estimate the program on-demand times more accurately, weighting calculation can be performed according to the program on-demand times and the average on-demand times of the channels corresponding to the programs, so that the heat value tends to be more reasonable. That is, in the above step S102, when the popularity information includes the channel identification information and the number of on-demand times, one channel includes a plurality of programs; the management server determining the number of recording servers for recording the programs according to the popularity information comprises the following steps: the management server finds the average on-demand times of the channels corresponding to the channel identification information according to the channel identification information; the management server determines the heat value of the program according to the on-demand times and the average on-demand times; setting a plurality of recording servers as recording servers of a plurality of grades, wherein the recording servers of different grades at least comprise one recording server; and the management server determines the recording server with the corresponding level according to different heat values. It should be understood that not only the on-demand times of the program itself but also the average on-demand times of the channel corresponding to the program, i.e. the popularity information of the channel, are considered herein. Specifically, the determining, by the management server, the heat value of the program according to the on-demand times and the average on-demand times includes: multiplying the order playing times by a first weighting coefficient to obtain a first heat value; multiplying the average on-demand times by a second weighting coefficient to obtain a second heat value; the sum of the first weighting coefficient and the second weighting coefficient is 1; and taking the sum of the first heat value and the second heat value as the heat value of the program. It should be noted that the weighting value may be specifically set according to specific situations, that is, specific values of the first weighting coefficient and the second weighting coefficient may be specifically set according to specific situations. To explain in connection with the above example, if 220 recording servers are set to 3 levels, level 1, level 2, and level 3, respectively; there are 50 recording servers in level 1, 70 recording servers in level 2, and 100 recording servers in level 3. If ten million are requested as a heat value, assuming that "running bar, brother", "i are singers" and "animal world" are all in the same channel, and the first weighting factor is 80% and the second weighting factor is 20%; then "running bar, brother", "i are singers" and "animal world" correspond to heat value of 55.8, 47.8 and 8.2, respectively; and if the predetermined value is greater than 0 and less than 30, it is level 1; when the heat value is more than 30 and less than 60, the level is 2; when the heat value is more than 60, the corresponding grade is 3; when the level 2 is selected by default, the recording servers in the level 1 are started at the same time, and when the level 3 is adopted, the recording servers in the level 1 and the level 2 are started at the same time, namely when the heat value is greater than 30 and less than 60, all the recording servers in the level 1 and the level 2 are started; when the popularity value is more than 60 and corresponds to all the recording servers in the level 1, the level 2 and the level 3, if the recording servers in the level 1, the brother and the singer are in the level 2, the recording servers in the level 1, the brother and the singer are simultaneously started to record and store the recording servers in the level 1 and the level 2, namely, the recording servers in the level 1 and the level 2 are simultaneously started to record and store the recording servers in the level 1, the brother and the singer, namely, 120 recording servers are used to record and store the recording servers in the level 1, the brother and the singer. The animal world has the level 1 recording storage, namely 60 recording servers are used for recording and storing the animal world.
Specifically, the multiple level recording servers include a first level recording server, a second level recording server and a third level recording server; the management server determines the recording server with the corresponding level according to the difference of the heat value, and the method comprises the following steps: when the heat value is greater than or equal to a first threshold value and less than or equal to a second threshold value, the recording server is corresponding to a first-level recording server; when the heat value is greater than the second threshold and less than or equal to the third threshold, the first-level recording server and the second-level recording server are corresponding; and when the heat value is greater than a third threshold value, the first level recording server, the second level recording server and the third level recording server are corresponded. It should be noted that specific sizes of the first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold herein may be specifically set according to specific situations, and the number of the recording servers included in the first level recording server, the second level recording server, and the third level recording server herein may also be specifically set according to specific situations.
Example two
The method for controlling program recording in this embodiment mainly counts the playing times of a program at a popularity statistic server, and performs a series of processing on the program, and first adds a popularity statistic table a1 at the popularity statistic server to record the on-demand popularity of a program, see fig. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a field structure of the table, and describes a field:
and node id: is the recording server name;
channellid: is a channel label, one channellid labels one channel;
cid: is an indication of a program;
number: the number of times the program list is requested by the user;
endtime: the end time of the program;
tstvtime: the buffer duration of the channel.
The detailed steps, as shown in fig. 3, include the following steps:
step S201: stb plays one of the programs, and starts the flow of reporting the database from the request;
step S202: the database receives the reported program times and reports, and inquires whether the A1 table has a record corresponding to the program, if yes, the number is added with 1; if there is no record, the record is added to the A1 table and the number value is 1.
Step S203: starting a timing task 1, which is executed once per hour and is used for searching a record meeting the judgment condition 1 in an A1 table;
step S204: the judgment condition 1 here is that the current time-3 hours ═ endtime + tstvmtime ═ current time-2
Using the judgment condition, mainly searching the program 2 hours before the program or the fragment which is as fast as tstvttime is deleted, and reporting the program to the MDP in advance;
step S205: and (3) inquiring the programs searched according with the judgment condition 1, and then uniformly reporting the programs to the MDP, wherein if the searched contents are many, flow control can be considered, and the programs are reported batch by batch.
Step S206: another timing task 2, also executed once per hour, is used for searching the record meeting the judgment condition 2 in the a1 table;
step S207: the judgment condition 2 here is: endtime + tstvttime > Current time
The judgment condition is mainly that the record needs to be deleted when the reported program reaches tstvtime;
step S208: the programs searched out according with the judgment condition 2 are deleted uniformly.
It should be noted that, first, when a recording server is added, four level types are set for recording attributes, which respectively correspond to the following:
recording server of default level: a recording server that is always recording, or a channel of the recording server, records from the beginning. Such a recording server is typically a recording centre server.
Level 1 recording server: according to the result of the heat statistics, when reaching the lowest interval which accords with the regeneration recording plan (C1-C2), the recording server which needs to send the recording plan;
the 2-level recording server: according to the result of the heat statistics, when reaching the middle interval which accords with the regeneration recording plan (C2-C3), the recording server which needs to send the recording plan; when the popularity is counted, the level 1 recording server will also issue a recording plan.
3, a recording server: according to the result of the heat statistics, when the value meeting the regenerated recording plan exceeds a certain value (C3), a recording server for issuing the recording plan is required; when the popularity is counted, the level 1 and level 2 recording servers also issue recording plans.
The values of C1, C2 and C3 can be set by themselves, and can be flexibly configured and modified according to the actual situation of field operation and the needs of local parties.
Then, according to the above description, two hotness statistics tables a2 and A3 are maintained on the MDP side, and both tables are used for estimating the subsequent user on-demand behavior of the program of the channel, wherein the a2 table is counted, more detailed and specific for each program; the A3 table is more abstract and is the statistical average of the programs for each day of the channel; therefore, according to the experience obtained by field observation, the value of the A2 table is weighted by 80%, and the value of the A3 table is weighted by 20%.
Then, after calculating the weighted sum according to the values of tables A2 and A3, determining which section the value is in according to the value; assuming that the calculated value is in the interval of C1-C2, the recording task is generated for the level 1 recording server, and the recording servers of other levels do not generate the recording task any more; assuming that the calculated value is greater than C3, recording tasks are generated at all level 1, level 2 and level 3 recording servers, that is, all recording servers are left to record.
It should be noted that the time of recording and issuing needs to be controlled before the buffer time of the corresponding segment of the channel arrives, otherwise, if the recording plan is issued to the recording server side, the corresponding segment is deleted, and the recording fails. The method in the embodiment is used, hardware equipment is not required to be added, and an additional large functional module is not required to be added; therefore, the two optimizations are realized without extra investment basically, and the product competitiveness is improved for operators and equipment providers.
EXAMPLE III
The method for controlling program recording in this embodiment is mainly explained in the management server end MDP, and first two tables are added to the popularity statistic server, where the a2 table is basically the same as the a1 table at the recording server side, and only nodeid is removed, because nodeid does not need to be counted at the MDP side, which is the counted total number of on-demand times. For the hot statistics table a3, see fig. 4, which is a schematic diagram of the field structure of the table, the description is made for the fields:
a Channeled: an indication of a channel;
unmber: the channel averages the number of times each program is requested during the day.
It should be noted that, since the a3 table calculates the average value mainly for each program of one channel, a field for distinguishing the program is not required.
The detailed steps, as shown in fig. 5, include the following steps:
step S301: reporting the program and related information meeting the heat condition to an MDP (management data processing) every hour by a recording server side, and after receiving the program and the related information, preparing to write the program and the related information into a database;
step S302: after receiving the report information from the recording server side, writing an A2 table, namely writing the table into a database, at the MDP side;
step S303: here, a timing task is added, which is executed at a fixed time every night, and is mainly used for transferring the contents in the A2 table meeting certain conditions into the A3 table.
Step S304: with respect to the a2 table, it is determined whether or not determination condition 4 is satisfied, and the determination conditions are as follows: endtime + tstvttime > Current time
The determination condition here, i.e., the program for which the buffering time has elapsed, may be removed.
Step S305: the programs in the a2 table meeting the above conditions are removed into the A3 table, and the removal follows the following mechanism:
deleting the record satisfying the condition in the step S304 in the a2 table;
the records in the A2 table are classified by channels to record the number of programs;
classifying according to channels, and recording the total on-demand times;
calculating the average on-demand times of each program, namely the total on-demand times of the channels/the number of programs under the channels;
writing the channel and the number of the average programs on demand into an A3 table;
meanwhile, the original record in the A3 table is deleted.
Step S306: aiming at the A2 table, another timing task is started at the same time, and the timing task is executed once per hour;
step S307: the timing task inquires about the program record in the a2 table, and whether the judgment condition 3 is met: current time-2 < Endtime + tstvmime < Current time-1
Step S308: if in step S307, a record meeting the determination condition 3 is found, the following processing is performed for the found record:
finding the record, weighting the corresponding number of the program in the a2 table by 80%;
finding the number of the channel in an association table A3 according to the channel of the A2 table, wherein the weight of the number is 20%;
and adding and calculating the weighted values of the two steps 1 and 2 to obtain the final weighted value of the program.
Step S309: determining the weighted value interval by using the weighted value calculated in step S308;
step S310: if the weighted value is between C1 and C2, then the recording tasks are added to the level 1 recording server for the corresponding recordings of the programs, that is, the recording tasks are inserted into the recording task table, and at that time, a recording plan is issued to the corresponding recording server.
Step S311: if the weighting values are between C2 and C3, then the recording tasks are increased in the level 1 and 2 recording servers for the corresponding recordings of these programs, i.e., the weighting values are set to be between C2 and C3
