Description

Authentication method, device and system for interactive network television IPTV platform

Technical field

The present application relates to, but is not limited to, the field of communications, and in particular, to an authentication method, apparatus, and system for an interactive network television IPTV platform.

Background technique

With the development of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), the traffic of the IPTV system has risen sharply, which is increasingly demanding the stability of the IPTV system. When the database back-end system has abnormal problems such as network failure and machine downtime, the back-end system needs to be able to provide services normally, so that the user is not aware. This makes the system increasingly important for emergency functions in these anomalies.

In the case that the IPTV back-end system is normal, the IPTV user watches a movie or other program, and the set-top box needs to send an authentication request to the background system, and the background database will find whether the user has subscribed to the movie or program. If the user subscribes to the product associated with the movie or program, the authentication is returned successfully, and the set top box directly plays. If the user does not order a product associated with the movie or program, the authentication fails, and the background returns a list of available products for the user to order. When the user orders the product, the set-top box initiates the order request, and the background system receives the order request and performs the order processing. After the order is successful, the user performs the viewing. At the same time, the order CDRs are generated in the background, and are sorted to the operator. The operator charges the user through the CDR.

However, most IPTV systems use an associated database, which is a stand-alone deployment. When the database is abnormal or other reasons cause the service to be unavailable, the entire back-end system is unable to provide authentication and subscription services, and the user cannot watch the program.
