Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for image skipping and search processing in a streaming service,

More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for video skip (skip) and search (playback position movement, seek) processing in a streaming service based on HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) .

Recently, a streaming service that plays multimedia data in real time through the Internet has been activated. Recently, a streaming service such as a standard HTTP (Real Time Messaging Protocol) / RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) Client - driven streaming services are widely used. With regard to the standard HTTP protocol, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is promoting standardization of Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) 5 including functions that can provide various multimedia services as well as streaming services through the Web. HTML5 defines a video tag and an audio tag so that a web browser can play a video without a separate plug-in. As a result, it is now possible to play back video easily through a web browser in a mobile terminal which is difficult to install a separate plug-in.

HTTP streaming (HTTP Live Streaming, hereinafter referred to as HLS) is widely used as a method of providing a streaming service using the HTML5 protocol, such as HTTP sequential download method and HTTP live streaming method. The HLS method can be applied to both VOD (video on demand) and LIVE services, whereas the sequential download method is not applicable to LIVE. The HTTP sequential download method is the most widely used video transmission method and it is a method of delivering a video file using HTTP simply. The HLS scheme fragment a media file into a file having a small length (for example, MPEG-2 Transport Stream file) of about 10 seconds (generally, for example, 5 seconds to 15 seconds) Lt; / RTI > file to the client. The playlist file uses an M3U8 file that uses SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) syntax, which is a type of Extensible Markup Language (XML). The client downloads the M3U8 file from the server using the HTTP protocol, downloads the specified TS files from the M3U8 file from the server, and sequentially plays back the file so that the user feels as if a single large file is played.

This streaming service can provide advertisements. Generally, a video advertisement is provided through a client side ad insertion method and a server side ad insertion method.

The client-side advertisement inserting method is a method in which a client receives each advertisement image and a content image provided from a server and sequentially reproduces the received images.

In the server-side advertisement insertion method, a streaming server creates an advertisement image and a content image into a single file or stream and delivers the same to the client, and the client plays the received file or stream.

Through these methods, a video advertisement is reproduced on a client. The video advertisement is reproduced according to a forced exposure scheme or a skip scheme after a predetermined time. In the forced exposure method, a video image is forcedly played back first and then a content image is played. After a predetermined time, a skip providing method is a method in which a video image is played first, And the content video is played back.

In order to perform the skip providing method after a predetermined time, information on the reproduction time of the video advertisement, the location of the advertisement, and the like should be obtained from the server.

In addition, the user is provided with a seek function for searching and reproducing a desired scene during video playback. The search function allows the user to change the playback position of the video according to the user's selection. However, such a search function is not allowed in all playback sections, and a search function is not allowed in a section in which a video advertisement is reproduced in a specific section, for example. In order to perform the search function on the client, information such as the playback time for the advertisement image must be obtained from the server in order to know the section where the search is permitted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of providing an advertisement according to a server-side advertisement insertion method in a streaming service, a method of allowing a client to perform an image skip and search processing without receiving additional playback- And to provide such a device.

In a method of providing information for skipping and searching processing in a streaming service, when a streaming server combines an advertisement video and a content video according to a video combining request, Generating metadata including meta information for reproduction of an image and generating and including skip and search processing information in the metadata; And providing metadata including the skip and search processing information to a client, wherein the skip and search processing information includes a skip moving point.

The skip moving point may correspond to the end of the advertisement image.

The skip and search processing information may further include a skip enable time and a search permission period.

The skip and search processing information may further include a play time list for each video.

The step of generating and including the information includes setting a skip enable time corresponding to a predetermined time elapsed after the advertisement video is played based on the play time of the advertisement video, And a search permission period can be set based on the time at which the content video is reproduced.

The providing step may provide the skip and search processing information in an HTTP header when a streaming service is provided using the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) protocol.

If the streaming service is provided in the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) scheme, the providing step may include the skip and search processing information in the M3U8 file.

A skip and search processing method according to another aspect of the present invention is a method for performing a skip and search processing of an image when a client receives and reproduces a combined image in which an advertisement image and a content image are combined from a streaming server, Receiving metadata from the streaming server to the client; Obtaining information for skip and search processing from the metadata, the information including a skip moving point, a skip possible point of time, and a search permitting interval; Monitoring a position where the combined image is reproduced when the combined image is reproduced; Performing an image skipping process when the current playback position is a skipable position corresponding to a time point at which the skipable time has elapsed after the start of playback; And performing an image search process when the current playback position corresponds to the search permission interval.

The step of performing the image skip processing may include a step of, when the current playback position is a skipable position, inputting a skip selection to a position corresponding to the skip movement point obtained from the information for skip and search processing And skipping.

The step of performing the image search processing may expose a seek bae, which is an interface means for searching, when the current playback position corresponds to the search allowed section.

The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification, when an element is referred to as "comprising ", it means that it can include other elements as well, without excluding other elements unless specifically stated otherwise.

Hereinafter, a method and apparatus for skipping and seeking an image in a streaming service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating a server-side advertisement providing process in a streaming service.

When a streaming service is provided using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) 5 protocol, the video advertisement is provided through a client side ad insertion method and a server side ad insertion method do.

When an advertisement is provided according to the server-side advertisement inserting method, as shown in FIG. 1, the web server 1 receives a playback URL (Uniform Resource Locator) request for downloading a content image from the client 2, (Params) of the content and the content URL, which is a connection address for the content (e.g., video on demand) that is to be played.

The client 1 requests the content image while accessing the content streaming server 3 according to the content URL and delivers the parameter of the advertisement to the content streaming server 3. The content streaming server 3 requests the associated advertisement image information while delivering the parameters of the advertisement to the advertisement server 4 and receives the advertisement image information responded thereto from the advertisement server 4 accordingly. Thereafter, the content streaming server 3 provides the client 2 with the advertisement video and the content video corresponding to the content URL as one file or stream, and the client 2 reproduces the advertisement video and the content video.

Through this process, the advertisement image is reproduced by the client. The advertisement image may be reproduced according to the forced exposure scheme or may be reproduced according to a scheme of providing a skip after a predetermined time.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example in which an image including an advertisement is reproduced according to a skip providing method after a predetermined time.

As shown in FIG. 2, the skip providing method after a certain period of time can not skip or search from the time the advertisement image is reproduced until the skip possible time. When the video playback position enters the skip-enabled area, a skip function such as skip button exposure is activated, and when a skip selection is made in an area (also called an advertisement video area) where the advertisement video is played back, The skip moving point generally indicates the end portion of the advertisement image (the beginning portion of the next image).

After the playback position is changed to the skip movement point in accordance with the skip, another advertisement image (in the case of two or more advertisements) or the content image is reproduced. In an area (also called a content image area) Is allowed.

In order to perform the above-described skip processing, the client must know the position of the advertisement image and the reproduction time information of the advertisement image during the reproduction of the image generated according to the server-side advertisement insertion method, so that the skip selection such as the operation of the skip button When it is done, the moving point can be obtained. However, the above information (the position of the advertisement image, the reproduction time information on the advertisement image, and the like) must be additionally provided from the advertisement server.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when a streaming server that provides an advertisement image and a content image according to a server-side advertisement insertion method transmits information related to an image skip and search processing to a single file or stream combined with an advertisement image and a content image, . Accordingly, the client need not separately communicate with the advertisement server in order to receive additional information for skipping or searching.

Since the streaming server combines the advertisement image provided from the advertisement server with the content image and provides it to the client, the streaming server already knows the point where the advertisement image and the content image are combined. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the streaming server generates information related to the video skip and search policy based on the direct connection point and provides the information to the client. Here, the information related to the image skip and search processing is referred to as "skip and search processing information" for convenience of explanation, and the skip and search processing information includes a skip possible point, a skip moving point and a search permission interval.

The skip-enabled time point indicates a position where the skip is permitted, and may be a time point after a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.) has elapsed after the advertisement reproduction.

The skip moving point indicates the playback position changed according to the skip operation, and may be the end portion of the advertisement image.

The search permission period indicates an area where search is permitted, and may be a content video area.

The skip and search processing information according to the embodiment of the present invention can be provided to a client as follows. The skip and search processing information may be provided in an HTTP header or meta data providing meta information for image reproduction.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are exemplary diagrams illustrating providing skip and search processing information on the server side according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 illustrates an example of providing skip and search processing information using an HTTP header according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

If the streaming service is provided using the HTTP protocol, such as HTTP streaming (HTTP live streaming, hereinafter referred to as HLS), and the advertisement is provided according to the server-side advertisement insertion method, In the embodiment of FIG. 3, skip and search processing information may be included in an HTTP header for providing metadata, as shown in FIG.

X-Skip-Range and X-Seek-Range are provided as skip and search processing information. In addition, the skip and search processing information may further include X-play Durations. X-play Durations represents a play time list of contents. The X-Skip-Range represents a skipable section, and the X-Seek-Range represents a searchable section.

For example, when the X-play Durations is given as "30.00, 30.00, 3600.00 ", the skipable section X-Skip-Range is" 10-30, 40-60 " The searchable X-Seek-Range is given as "60.00-3720.00".

The X-Skip-Range "10-30" indicates skipping from the playback time "10" after the start of playback, and the skip is moved to the position corresponding to the playback time "30 ". Therefore, "10" indicates a skip possible point, and "30 " indicates a skip point. This indicates that playback can be skipped 10 seconds after the playback starts from the advertisement image having the playback time "30.00 ", and when the skip is selected, the playback position moves to the end of the corresponding advertisement image. The X-Skip-Range including the skip enabled point and the skip movement point can be called a "skip interval ".

X-Seek-Range "60.00-3720.00" indicates that playback time "60" to "3720" can be searched after playback starts. This X-Seek-Range represents the search permission interval.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the streaming server that combines the advertisement image and the content image provides the skip and search processing information using the reproduction time of each image. In particular, by using the reproduction time of each image, Thereby providing more accurate information for skipping the image.

The video skip and search processing policy can use the player's own policy used by the client, or use X-Skip-Range and X-Seek-Range.

FIG. 4 is another example of providing skip and search processing information according to an embodiment of the present invention using HLS M3U8.

In the HLS service, skip and search processing information can be provided as an additional tag (Tag) in addition to the HTTP header, as shown in FIG.

In the HLS service, the media files corresponding to the advertisement image and the content image are provided as image fragment files (for example, an MPEG-2 Transport Stream file, aka TS file) each having a small length, M3U8 < / RTI > An M3U8 file containing meta information about file fragments is called a playlist file or manifest file. The M3U8 uses Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) syntax, which is a type of Extensible Markup Language (XML).

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the M3U8 file, which is a meta information file, includes skip and search processing information in a header. EX-X-SKIP-RANGE: 10.00-30.00,40.00-60.00 ", "EXT-X-SEEK-RANGE: 60.00-3720.00 ", as shown in FIG. 4, , "EXT-X-PLAY-DURATIONS: 30.00, 30.00, 3600.00".

After the tag including the skip and search processing information, meta information about the TS files as the advertisement image fragment file and meta information about the TS files as the content image fragment file are provided, and the images are discontinuous tags, i.e., EXT Quot; -X_DISCONTINUITY ". The client judges that the TS file described previously and the TS file described later on the basis of the EXT-X_DISCONTINUITY tag do not have the same PID (packet identifier), and reproduces TS files separately. The playback time of each image can be substantially determined by the discontinuous tag EXT-X_DISCONTINUITY even when the header of the M3U8 file does not include the X-play Durations indicating the playback time list of each image as shown in FIG.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the streaming server knows the point of attachment between the advertisement image and the content image, and provides skip and search processing information to the client based on the point of attachment, You can get information about video composition, skip and search.

5 is a flowchart of a method for providing skip and search processing information in a streaming server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The streaming server combines the advertisement image provided from the advertisement server and the content image provided from the content server according to the request to combine the image combining request, that is, the advertisement image and the content image (S100, S110). And combines the advertisement image and the content image into one file or stream. The streaming server may perform the functions of the content server together.

When the streaming server includes policy information for skipping and searching in combining the advertisement image and the content image (S120), the streaming server includes the skip and search processing information in the metadata as described above. That is, information about the skip-enabled time, the X-Skip-Range, and the X-Seek-Range is included in the meta data along with the media play time (X-play Durations) ).

On the other hand, when the policy information for skipping and searching is not included in combining the advertisement image and the content image, only the media playback time is included in the metadata (S140).

The streaming server responds to the metadata with the client, and provides a single file or stream to the client, in which the advertisement image and the content image are combined (S150).

6 is a flowchart of a skip and search processing method in a client according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The client (which may be the client's video player) sends the video association request to the streaming server and then receives the metadata as described above. Then, skip and search processing information corresponding to the policy information for skip and search is obtained from the received metadata (S300). The client monitors the playback position of the file or stream provided from the streaming server (S310). The position to be reproduced here represents the time to be reproduced.

In step S320, it is determined whether the current playback position is a position at which the skip is permitted, while monitoring the playback position of the video. For example, in the case of the X-Skip-Range "10-30 ", it is determined that the time has elapsed after 10 seconds from the start of video playback It is determined that the skip is permitted. At a position where skip is permitted, a button capable of skip selection, for example, a skip button is exposed. When the skip selection is inputted in this state, the client skips the position where the image is reproduced. That is, the current playback position is skipped to the skip movement point included in the skip and search processing information (S330). For example, in the case of X-Skip-Range "10-30 ", skips to the position corresponding to" 30 "

Also, it is determined whether the current playback position is a searchable position while monitoring the playback position (S340). For example, in the case of the X-Seek-Range "60.00-3720.00 ", it is determined whether or not the current playback position corresponds to the search permitted section. .

If the current playback position is a searchable position, the client exposes a seek bae, which is an interface means for searching (S350).

The streaming server 100 includes an image combining unit 110, a skip and search processing information generating unit 120, a metadata generating unit 130, and a service providing unit 140, as shown in FIG.

The image combining unit 110 combines the advertisement image and the content image. The image combining unit 110 combines the advertisement image provided from the advertisement server and the content image provided from the content server and processes the combined image into one file or stream.

The skip and search processing information generating unit 120 generates skip and search processing information including a skip enable time, a skip move time, and a search permission period. Based on the reproduction time of the advertisement image, the skip and search processing information generation unit 120 sets a skip enable time corresponding to a predetermined time elapsed after the advertisement image is reproduced, And a search permission period can be set based on the time at which the content video is reproduced.

The metadata generation unit 130 generates meta information of the meta information about the advertisement image and the content image, and in particular, includes skip and search processing information provided from the skip and search processing information generation unit 120 in the meta data . The metadata generating unit 130 may selectively include skip and search processing information in the metadata according to an image skip and search processing policy.

The service providing unit 140 provides the client with the combined image of the advertisement image and the content image transmitted from the image combining unit 110 and provides the metadata transmitted from the metadata generating unit 130 to the client. The service providing unit 140 may provide the metadata to the client in the form of an HTTP response as shown in FIG. 3, or may be provided to the client in the form of including it in the M3U8 response when the HLS method is used as shown in FIG. 4 .

The metadata receiving unit 210 receives the metadata for reproducing the advertisement image and the content image from the streaming server.

The skip and search processing information obtaining unit 220 obtains skip and search processing information from the metadata received by the metadata receiving unit 210. [

The reproduction processing unit 260 reproduces the advertisement image and the content image. Particularly, a single file or stream in which the advertisement image and the content image are combined is reproduced.

The reproduction monitoring unit 230 monitors the reproduction position in the image reproduction. The position to be reproduced here corresponds to the time at which it is reproduced. The reproduction monitoring unit 230 monitors whether the current reproduction position is a skipable or searchable position based on the skip and search processing information.

The skip processing unit 240 skips the reproduction position according to the skip selection input when the current reproduction position is skipable after the skip enable time according to the monitoring result of the reproduction monitoring unit 230. [ If skip is enabled, the skip processing unit 240 exposes a skip button. If a skip selection is input in this state, the skip processing unit 240 skips the reproduction position of the image to the skip movement point included in the skip and search processing information.

If the current playback position is a searchable position according to the monitoring result of the playback monitoring unit 230, that is, if the current playback position corresponds to the search allowed section, the search processing unit 250 searches the search bar, which is an interface means for searching, . Then, the search processing unit 250 changes the location to be reproduced according to the search request inputted through the search bar.
