IPTV is a system for transmitting television information using a broadband network as a medium. It is installed on a streaming media server and provides video services to data TVs, mobile phones, and WEB pages. Based on the IPTV system, the user can select the program (ie, video file) that he or she wants to watch, and can browse the information of some programs (such as program information, previews, advertisements, etc.).

Currently, the release content of the IPTV system is updated in a full-scale or incremental manner. The so-called full-size form refers to directly replacing a complete new IPTV system with the original IPTV system, and the method is applied to a scenario in which a larger content is updated; The form refers to adding, replacing, and deleting on the basis of the original IPTV system, and is applied to a scenario in which the updated content is small.

The current update in full amount will cause the streaming media server to lose the data related to the user's purchase of the service, which will make it impossible for the user to watch the paid video after the IPTV system is fully updated. In addition, due to the short update cycle of the IPTV system and the expiration date of the paid service, it is not easy to implement the business data purchased by the user in the full amount of data.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides an update method for an IPTV system, including: Step 11: Acquire a full amount of data for updating a current IPTV system;

Step 12: Comparing the current IPTV system with the full amount of data, and obtaining incremental data for updating the current IPTV system;

Step 13. Import the incremental data into the streaming media server, so that the streaming media server can update the current IPTV system in an incremental manner.

The method of the embodiment converts the full amount of data of the IPTV system into incremental data, so that the streaming media server performs an update operation on the current IPTV system in an incremental manner, so as to prevent the streaming media server from losing the relevant data of the customer purchasing the video service. Specifically, in the above embodiment of the present invention, step 12 includes:

Step 121: Compare the full amount of data with the video service of the current IPT V system and the associated information corresponding to the video service;

Step 122: The video service that the current IPTV system exists but the full amount of data does not exist and the associated information corresponding to the video service are used as the data that needs to be deleted in this update;

Step 123: The video service in which the full amount of data exists and the current IPTV system does not exist and the associated information corresponding to the video service are used as data to be added in this update;

Step 124: Determine the video service that exists in the full amount of data and the current IPTV system, and use the associated information corresponding to the video service in the full amount of data as the data that needs to be replaced in the current update; wherein, the application scenario of step 124 is as follows: The first quarter to the third quarter of a TV series, and the current IPTV system only has the first and second seasons of the TV series;

Step 125: The data that needs to be deleted, added, and replaced in this update is used as the incremental data for updating the current IPTV system.

Furthermore, the present invention provides a specific comparison method based on the above embodiments, that is, step 121 includes:

Wherein, the video service includes a TV drama and a movie;

In addition, to protect the copyright of the video service, step 13 includes:

Step 131: Encrypt the incremental data.

Step 132: Import the encrypted incremental data into the streaming media server.

The above method is described in detail below: As shown in Figure 2, perform the following steps:

51. Obtain a work order file sent by the background for updating the current IPTV system, and parse the work order file; it should be noted that the work order file may only include the full amount of data or incremental data required for updating the IPTV system. Can include both full data and incremental data;

52, determining whether the parsed data is full amount of data; no, that is, representing incremental data, proceeding to step S6; yes, proceeding to step S3;

53. Cache the video service (the drama and the program) in the full amount of data to the temporary file A; S4, cache the video service (the drama and the program) in the current IPTV system to the temporary file

B;

55. Compare the temporary file A with the temporary file B, and determine to update the current IPTV system incremental data; the specific method is:

The video service in which the temporary file B exists (that is, the current IPTV system exists) and the temporary file A does not exist (that is, the full amount of data does not exist) and the associated information corresponding to the video service are used as the data to be deleted in this update;

The video service in which the temporary file A exists and the temporary file B does not exist and the associated information corresponding to the video service are used as data to be added in this update;

For the video service that exists in both the temporary file A and the temporary file B, the associated information corresponding to the video service in the temporary file A is used as the data to be replaced in the current update;

56, determining whether the incremental data needs to be encrypted; yes, proceeding to step S7; otherwise, proceeding to step S8;

In step S6, the incremental data can be flexibly processed: The data contained in the work order file sent by the background may have been copyright protected (for example, the current IPTV system for the WEB client or the mobile client), the encryption processing The work is completed before the work order file is sent.) In this step, it can be judged that the incremental data does not need to be encrypted; in addition, for some free video services, the corresponding incremental data does not need to be encrypted. ; S7, encrypting the incremental data by using a digital rights management DRM server;

S8, the incremental data is imported into the streaming media server, so that the streaming media server updates and publishes the current IPTV system according to the incremental data. Specifically, according to the work order file, it is determined whether the IPTV system to be updated is applied to the IPTV system for digital television. The IPTV system applied to the WEB is applied to the IPTV system on the mobile phone, and then the incremental data is imported into the streaming server corresponding to the application object, and the streaming server is updated in the existing incremental manner.

In summary, even if there is full data in the work order file sent by the background, the method in this embodiment enables the streaming media server to completely update the IPTV system in an incremental manner, thereby preventing the streaming media server from losing the customer's purchase service. related data.
