detailed description

In order to have a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the implementation of the present disclosure will be explained clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not intended to limit This disclosure.

It should be noted that in the following description, “some embodiments” are involved, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it is understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or the same subset of all possible embodiments. Different subsets, and can be combined with each other without conflict.

At present, Internet companies have surpassed operators to develop various video and data service services (OTT, Over The Top) based on the open Internet, and more and more go deep into the daily work and life of users, and provide users with various applications through the Internet. Service, and this kind of application is different from the current communication service provided by the operator. It only uses the operator's network, and the service is provided by a third party other than the operator. At present, typical OTT services include OTT video and Apple App Store.

Through careful research, the applicant found that: the current OTT system controls the presentation of content, which can be summarized into the following two categories: The first category restricts playback content such as video before playback. The main manifestations are: through the user The way of grouping controls the presentation of content. Specifically, users are divided into several groups according to categories such as tourists, members, VIPs, and gold members, and users in each group have their viewing of the content. Permission, controlling the content presented to the user; the second category, controlling the presentation of content through the terminal implementation, specifically, closing the original video stream audio played before the terminal, and overlaying and displaying specific static pictures or videos on the original video stream , In order to realize the control of content presentation.

For the first type of method, users are only roughly divided into several groups. The conditions for group division are relatively simple, resulting in extensive control of content presentation, and it is impossible to flexibly adjust each group according to user needs. Flexible control of content presentation.

For the second type of method, it can be understood that the terminal controls the playback of the video stream according to the strategy, and each time a restriction is added to the strategy, the terminal needs to be changed once, which leads to the high complexity and high cost of this method. The restriction strategy usually occurs at a certain time and cannot take effect immediately, resulting in poor real-time performance of the method; in actual application, when the video stream is restricted, the video stream has actually been pulled down to the terminal, so the video stream cannot be Effective control of the display, especially for time-shifted or replayed video streams cannot be effectively controlled, and the security is poor. It can be seen that the implementation cost of the above-mentioned second method is high and unsafe.

However, in actual applications, content operators have complex requirements for the presentation of content, such as restrictions on the content's playing area, playing time period and other conditions. At this time, it is necessary to control the content flexibly, effectively and accurately according to these complex requirements. The presentation. Obviously, in related technologies, there is currently no solution that can achieve flexible, effective, and precise control of content presentation to meet the complex needs of content operators.

Based on this, in various embodiments of the present disclosure, the display restriction strategy related information in the playback request URL is parsed, and the first playlist file is generated based on the display restriction strategy related information, and the first playlist file is implemented in the content through the first playlist file. The dynamic display of content at the playback source end (such as the CDN control system side) can flexibly, effectively and accurately control the playback and display of output content, such as media streams, to meet the complex needs of content operators.

The implementation process of the control method shown in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation flow of a method for controlling content presentation on a server side according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for controlling content presentation may be applied to a server, such as a content delivery network (CDN, Content Delivery Network) control server. As shown in FIG. 1, the implementation process of the content display control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps S101 to S104.

In step S101, the playback request URL sent by the terminal is received.

Here, the playback request URL is used to indicate the data source address of the content of the playback request. The terminal may include, but is not limited to, electronic devices with players such as smart phones, tablet computers, and palmtop computers.

In step S102, the playback request URL is parsed to obtain the display restriction policy related information carried in the playback request URL.

Here, in actual application, when the server parses the playback request URL after receiving the playback request URL sent by the terminal, because the playback request URL is configured with the current content display restricted conditions, that is, the playback request The URL carries information about the display restriction strategy for the playback content. In this way, by parsing the playback request URL, the display restriction strategy related information for the playback content can be easily obtained. The playback content may include videos, static pictures, etc., and the video may be an OTT video.

Here, the information related to the display restriction strategy of the play content includes at least one of the following: user grouping; terminal feature information; play area; play channel; play time period, etc.

The terminal feature information includes at least one of the following: terminal IP segment; terminal type, etc.

Specifically, the terminal IP segment refers to the segment of IP geographic information to which the IP address of the terminal belongs. For example, the geographic information of the segment IP1 from 1.1.1.0 to 1.1.1.255 corresponds to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, and the segment IP2 is The geographic information from 1.1.3.0 to 1.1.3.255 corresponds to Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. If the IP address of the current terminal is 1.1.1.201, it can be determined that the IP address of the current terminal belongs to the segment IP1. For the terminal types, according to different operating systems supported by the terminal, the terminal can be divided into a terminal supporting the Android system and a terminal supporting the iOS system.

It can be understood that, in actual applications, the terminal type is not limited to the above-mentioned divided types, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not further limit this.

In step S103, a first playlist file is generated according to the information related to the display restriction policy.

In step S104, the first playlist file is sent to the terminal.

Here, the first playlist file is used to control the content playback and display of the terminal. In other words, the server sends the generated first playlist file to the terminal, so that the terminal can play and display based on the received first playlist file request.

In some embodiments, the first playlist file may be represented by a file in M3U8 format. Of course, it is not limited to files in M3U8 format, and files in other formats may also be used to represent the first playlist file, which is not limited here. .

In actual application, when the first playlist file is expressed in the M3U8 format, the terminal requests to select the entity file to be played from the first playlist file, that is, the actual file content that is played can be stored in the server in the form of fragments .

In actual application, the server, such as the CDN control server, needs to obtain the display restriction policy for the playback content synchronized by the restriction policy management server, so that the CDN control server can match the display restriction policy with the information related to the display restriction policy. , Generate the first playlist file, so that you can control the content playback and display of the terminal.

Based on this, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of another implementation process of the method for controlling content display on the server side according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may further include step S105.

In step S105, the configured display restriction strategy for the content to be played is acquired.

Here, the display restricted policy is pre-configured by the restricted policy management server according to the requirements of the content operator, and is synchronized to the CDN control server in real time after the configuration is completed. That is to say, the step of the CDN control server obtaining the display restriction policy actually obtains the display restriction policy pre-configured by the restriction policy management server for the CDN control server.

Here, the display restriction strategy may include a first restriction condition and a second restriction condition.

The first restricted condition is used to indicate a restricted condition set based on the characteristic information corresponding to the user, for example, setting based on the audience range of the content, or setting based on the terminal held by the user, etc., the first restricted condition It may include restricted user grouping; restricted terminal feature information; restricted playback area, etc.; the second restricted condition is used to indicate restricted conditions set based on user needs, for example, based on the time period the user wants to watch content The second restriction condition may include the limitation of the broadcasting channel and the limitation of the broadcasting time period, etc. based on the requirements of the content of which channel the user wants to watch.

Here, the terminal characteristic information limitation includes terminal IP segment limitation and terminal type limitation.

In actual application, the display restriction strategy may be a flexible combination of multiple restriction conditions to meet the complex needs of content operators and expand the application range.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the execution order of step S101 and step S105. For example, step S105 may be executed first, and then step S101 may be executed, that is, the server first obtains the display restriction policy, and then receives The playback request URL sent by the terminal analyzes the playback request URL to obtain information about the display restriction strategy (as shown in Figure 2); for another example, step S101 can be performed first, and then step S105 can be performed, that is, the server The playback request URL sent by the terminal is received first, and the playback request URL is parsed to obtain information related to the display restricted policy, and then the display restricted policy is acquired.

In some embodiments, the specific implementation process of generating the first playlist file according to the information related to the display restriction strategy in step S103 may include: performing the information related to the display restriction strategy with the display restriction policy. Matching to obtain a matching result; and generating a first playlist file according to the matching result.

In actual application, in the process of generating the first playlist file according to the matching result, when the matching result meets different restricted conditions, the process of generating the first playlist file by the server is also different. Correspondingly, there are differences in the content of the first playlist file generated by the server.

In some embodiments, the step of generating a first playlist file according to the matching result may include: when the matching result meets the first restricted condition, generating a first playlist file corresponding to the first specific content; and The first specific content is used to indicate content that is allowed to be played within the first restricted condition.

That is to say, when a server such as a CDN control server matches the display restricted policy related information with the display restricted policy, if it is determined that the matching result meets the first restricted condition, that is, the matching result is the user group receiving In other words, the content operator restricts at least one of the object-oriented playback of the content, the playback terminal, and the playback area. At this time, the CDN The control server will generate a first playlist file corresponding to the first specific content, and return the first playlist file corresponding to the first specific content to the terminal.

Here, the first specific content is used to indicate restricted user groups, terminal characteristic information, and content allowed to be played in the play area, that is, to replace restricted user groups, terminal characteristic information, and play content corresponding to the play area. For example, if it is determined that a certain video content A is not allowed to be played in area a, then the first specific content generated by the CDN control server, such as video content B, can be played in area a, and video content A is replaced with video content B; , Video content B is the content allowed to be played in area a.

The first specific content may be the default content of the system, or the content determined by the server as required, such as the content corresponding to the display restriction policy configuration, which is not further limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In actual application, the CDN control server can flexibly modify the first specific content as required.

In some embodiments, the step of generating the first playlist file according to the matching result may include: when the matching result meets the second restricted condition, according to the playback time point of the segment included in the currently playing content The relationship with the second restricted condition and the relationship between the current time point when the playback request URL is sent and the second restricted condition are generated to generate the first playlist file.

That is, when the CDN control server matches the display restriction policy related information with the display restriction policy, if it is determined that the matching result meets the second restriction condition, for example, the matching result is that the playing time period is restricted In other words, the content operator does not allow the content to be played during a specific time period. At this time, the CDN control server will determine the relationship between the playback time point of the segment contained in the currently playing content and the second restricted condition, And the relationship between the current time point of sending the play request URL and the second restricted condition, generate the first playlist file, and return the generated first playlist file to the terminal.

In the following, the process of generating the first playlist file will be described in detail for several situations that exist when the second restricted condition is that the playing time period is restricted.

Situation 1

In some embodiments, according to the relationship between the playback time point of the segment included in the playback content currently being played and the second restricted condition, and the current time point at which the playback request URL is sent and the second restricted condition In relation to conditions, the step of generating the first playlist file may include: when the current time point of sending the playback request URL does not match the limited playback time period, and the currently playing playback When the playback time point of the segment included in the content does not match the restricted playback time period, a first playlist file corresponding to the fourth specific content is generated.

Here, the fourth specific content is used to indicate content that is allowed to be played in a limited time period. The fourth specific content may be the default content of the system, or may be the content determined by the server as required, which is not further limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, the restricted playing time period is from 9:00 to 10:00 in the morning. Assuming that the current time point when the playback request URL is sent is 8:56 in the morning, the current playback content contains the fragments The playback time is 10:05 in the morning. Obviously, 8:56 when the playback request URL is sent is not within the range of 9:00 to 10:00 in the restricted playback time period, and the playback time of the segment is 10: 05 is also not within the range of 9:00 to 10:00 in the restricted play time period. At this time, the CDN control server directly returns the first playlist file corresponding to the generated fourth specific content to the terminal.

Situation 2

In some embodiments, according to the relationship between the playback time point of the segment included in the playback content currently being played and the second restricted condition, and the current time point at which the playback request URL is sent and the second restricted condition In relation to conditions, the step of generating the first playlist file may include: when the current time point of sending the playback request URL does not match the limited playback time period, and the currently playing playback When there is a cross relationship between the playback time points of the partial fragments contained in the content and the limited playback time period, replace the fragments corresponding to the crossed part with the fragments corresponding to the second specific content, and generate the first playlist file .

The second specific content is used to indicate content that is allowed to be played within the second restricted condition.

Here, the second specific content is used to indicate content that is allowed to be played in a limited time period. The second specific content may be the default content of the system, or may be the content determined by the server as required, which is not further limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, the restricted playing time period is from 9:00 to 10:00 in the morning. Assuming that the current time when the playback request URL is sent is 8:56 in the morning, part of the fragments contained in the currently playing content The playback time of the video is between 8:59 and 9:10 in the morning. Obviously, the time of sending the playback request URL at 8:56 is not within the range of 9:00 to 10:00 in the restricted playback time period. There is a cross section between the time point of some fragments and the restricted play time period from 9:00 to 10:00. At this time, the CDN control server replaces the cross section, that is, the fragment corresponding to 9:00 to 9:10 with the second specific Fragments corresponding to the content to generate the first playlist file.

Situation 3

In some embodiments, according to the relationship between the playback time point of the segment included in the playback content currently being played and the second restricted condition, and the current time point at which the playback request URL is sent and the second restricted condition In relation to conditions, the step of generating the first playlist file may include: when the current time point of sending the playback request URL does not match the limited playback time period, and the currently playing playback When there is an overlapping relationship between the playback time point of a part of the fragments contained in the content and the limited playback time period, the fragment corresponding to the overlapping part is replaced with the fragment corresponding to the third specific content, and the fragment corresponding to the non-overlapping part is retained To generate the first playlist file.

The third specific content is used to indicate content allowed to be played within the second restricted condition, that is, used to indicate content allowed to be played within a restricted time period.

Here, the third specific content may be the default content of the system, or may be the content determined by the server as required, which is not further limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, the restricted playing time period is from 9:00 to 10:00 in the morning. Assuming that the current time when the playback request URL is sent is 8:56 in the morning, part of the fragments contained in the currently playing content The playing time of the NAS is between 9:00 and 10:30 in the morning. Obviously, the time of sending the request URL at 8:56 is not within the range of 9:00 to 10:00 in the restricted playing time period, but the There is an overlap between the time point of some of the fragments and the restricted playback time period from 9:00 to 10:00. At this time, the CDN control server replaces the overlapped part, that is, the fragment corresponding to 9:00 to 10:00 with a third specific For the fragments corresponding to the content, the fragments of the original content are retained for the non-overlapping part, that is, the fragments corresponding to 10:01 to 10:30, to generate the first playlist file.

Situation 4

In some embodiments, according to the relationship between the playback time point of the segment included in the playback content currently being played and the second restricted condition, and the current time point at which the playback request URL is sent and the second restricted condition In relation to conditions, the step of generating the first playlist file may include: when the current time point of sending the playback request URL matches the limited playback time period, and the currently playing playback When the playback time point of the segment included in the content does not match the restricted playback time period, replace the segment that does not match the restricted playback time period with the segment corresponding to the original playback content, and generate the The first playlist file.

For example, the restricted play time period is from 9:00 to 10:00 in the morning. Assuming that the current time of sending the playback request URL is 9:02 in the morning, the current playback content contains the The playback time point is 10:05 in the morning. Obviously, the time point of 9:02 when the playback request URL is sent is within the range of 9:00 to 10:00 in the limited playback time period, but the time point of the played segment is 10: 05 is not within the range of 9:00 to 10:00 in the restricted playback time period. At this time, the CDN control server replaces the fragments that do not match the restricted playback time period with the fragments corresponding to the original playback content. Generate the first playlist file.

Situation 5

In some embodiments, according to the relationship between the playback time point of the segment included in the playback content currently being played and the second restricted condition, and the current time point at which the playback request URL is sent and the second restricted condition In relation to conditions, the step of generating the first playlist file may include: when the current time point of sending the playback request URL matches the limited playback time period, and the currently playing playback When the playback time point of the segment included in the content matches the limited playback time period, a first playlist file corresponding to the fifth specific content is generated.

Here, the fifth specific content may be the default content of the system, or may be the content determined by the server as required, which is not further limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, the restricted play time period is from 9:00 to 10:00 in the morning. Assuming that the current time of sending the playback request URL is 9:02 in the morning, the current playback content contains the The play time is between 9:05 and 9:20 in the morning. Obviously, the time of sending the play request URL at 9:02 is within the limited play time period of 9:00 to 10:00, and the play minutes Any one of the time points between 9:05 and 9:20 is also within the range of the restricted play time period 9:00 to 10:00. At this time, the CDN control server will generate the first corresponding to the fifth specific content. A playlist file, and the generated first playlist file corresponding to the fifth specific content is returned to the terminal.

It should be particularly pointed out that the second specific content, the third specific content, the fourth specific content, and the fifth specific content in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be the same (including all the same and part of the same) or different, and no further details will be made here. limited.

The content display control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure generates a first playlist file based on the display restriction policy related information carried in the playback request URL, and realizes the dynamic display of the content at the content playback source through the first playlist file , Can flexibly, effectively, and accurately control the output content such as the playback and display of media streams, thereby ensuring safety, real-time, and accuracy, while enriching the ways of content presentation, meeting the complex needs of content operators, and improving user experience.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an implementation process of a content display control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the implementation process of the content display control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps S301 to S306.

In step S301, the terminal sends a playback request URL to the server.

Here, when a user who uses a terminal wants to watch playback content such as a video, the terminal sends a playback request URL to the server through the terminal, where the playback request URL can be carried in the playback request message.

In step S302, the server receives the playback request URL sent by the terminal.

In step S303, the server parses the playback request URL, and obtains the display restriction policy related information carried in the playback request URL.

In actual application, the display restricted policy related information can be set by the restricted policy management server based on the characteristic information corresponding to the user or user needs, and after the restricted policy management server is set, the display restricted policy related information Send to the terminal, so that when the terminal sends the playback request URL to the server, it can carry the display restriction policy related information in the playback request URL and send it together.

Here, the information related to the display restriction strategy includes at least one of the following: user grouping; terminal feature information; playing area; playing channel; playing time period, etc. The terminal feature information includes at least one of the following: terminal IP segment; terminal type, etc.

In some embodiments, before obtaining the display restriction policy related information carried in the playback request URL, the method may further include: obtaining a configured display restriction policy for the playback content.

Here, the display restricted policy is pre-configured by the restricted policy management server according to the requirements of the content operator, and is synchronized to the CDN control server in real time after the configuration is completed. That is to say, the step of the CDN control server obtaining the display restriction policy can actually obtain the display restriction policy pre-configured by the restriction policy management server for the CDN control server.

In step S304, the server generates a first playlist file according to the information related to the display restriction policy.

In some embodiments, when the server obtains the display restriction strategy, the specific implementation process of step S304 may include: matching the display restriction strategy related information with the display restriction strategy to obtain a matching result; According to the matching result, a first playlist file is generated.

In step S305, the server sends the generated first playlist file to the terminal.

Here, the first playlist file is used to control the content playback and display of the terminal.

In actual application, the first playlist file can be represented by a file in the M3U8 format, and of course it is not limited to a file in the M3U8 format, and files in other formats can also be used to represent the first playlist file, which is not limited here.

In step S306, after receiving the first playlist file, the terminal performs playback and display based on the first playlist file request.

In practical applications, when the first playlist file is represented in the M3U8 format, the entity file that the terminal requests to select and play from the first playlist file, that is, the actual file that is played, may be stored in the server in the form of fragments.

Here, the step of the terminal requesting to perform playback and display based on the first playlist file may actually be based on the at least two fragment files included in the first playlist file, requesting for the at least two fragment files in turn. Split files for playback and display.

Here, the duration of the at least two fragmented files may be the same or different, which is not further limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, when the terminal requests to play and display based on the first playlist file, the method may further include: monitoring the playback progress of the at least two fragment files; and when the When the playback progress of at least two fragmented files reaches the set threshold, the playback request URL is sent to the server again, where the playback request URL sent again is used to request to obtain the second playlist file.

That is to say, when the terminal requests a new playlist file from the server again, that is, the second playlist file, steps S301 to S306 can be repeated to meet the requirement of periodically requesting a new playlist file. Here, the set threshold can be preset according to needs, which is not further limited here.

It should be noted that the specific processing process of the server has been described in detail above, and will not be repeated here.

In the content display control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the server receives the playback request URL sent by the terminal, the server parses the playback request URL, and generates information based on the display restriction policy carried in the parsed playback request URL. The first playlist file, through the first playlist file, realizes the dynamic display of the content at the content playback source, which can flexibly, effectively, and accurately control the output content such as the playback and display of media streams, thereby ensuring safety, real-time, and At the same time of accuracy, it enriches the way of content presentation, meets the complex needs of content operators, and improves user experience.

In actual application, before obtaining the display restriction policy related information carried in the playback request URL, the server may also obtain the configured display restriction policy for the playback content, so that the server can according to the display restriction policy related information The first playlist file is generated as a result of the matching result with the display restriction strategy, so that the content playback and display of the terminal can be controlled.

The embodiment of the present disclosure proposes another method for controlling content presentation. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another implementation process of a content display control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the implementation process of another content display control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps S401 to S408.

In step S401, the restricted policy management server sets content restriction rules, and generates a display restriction policy based on the content restriction rules.

Here, in actual application, the restricted policy management server may set content restriction rules according to the needs of the content operator. For example, the content restriction rules may be configured on the restricted policy management server in advance, that is, the content operator may be set The embodiment of the present disclosure does not make further restrictions on the restriction conditions for content playback and display.

In step S402, the restricted policy management server issues the display restricted policy to the CDN control server.

Here, the restricted policy management server issues the display restricted policy to the CDN control server.
