Embodiment
Below, describe time shift service system of the present invention and method in detail with reference to figure 1~7.
Core concept of the present invention is: in time shift service system, at first in a plurality of media servers allocate memory with buffer memory time shift service content, utilize a plurality of media servers to carry out cooperation caching time shift content, thereby reduce the buffer memory expense, and in real time the time shift service content in each media server is dispatched, to solve the problem that the time shift service clashes.
As shown in Figure 1, be the schematic diagram of time shift service system of the present invention.This time shift service system comprises: terminal, content service pilot unit and media server.
Wherein: media server, comprise buffering area, the live TV stream that is used for corresponding channel that content service orientation unit is introduced carries out buffer memory, and behind this live TV stream buffer memory predetermined amount of time, introduce the time-delay stream of the predetermined amount of time of having delayed time to next media server, and the time-delay of being introduced by other media servers flow to row cache, and under the control of content service pilot unit, provide media services to terminal.
Particularly, for a certain channel, each media server can be called according to the distance of each media server: first server, second server ... N server apart from this channel live time period.Wherein, first server, disposed the buffering area that can store corresponding channel predetermined amount of time length code stream, (this live TV stream is designated as F (n, 0) to be used for the live TV stream of this channel of buffer memory, wherein n is a channel), after this buffering area was full of, (this time-delay stream was designated as F (n, 1) to draw the first time-delay stream, compare time period of time-delay with live TV stream), and the first time-delay stream is incorporated in the second server; Second server is used to dispose its buffering area, flows F (n, 1) with first time-delay that buffer memory is introduced by first server, and draws the second time-delay stream F (n, 2) to next server; And the like, up to the N server; The N server is used to dispose its buffering area, flows with the N-1 time-delay that buffer memory is introduced by the N-1 server, and no longer draws time-delay stream, and abandon the oldest content with stream mode.
The content service pilot unit is used for the live TV stream of each channel is incorporated into each media server successively, and sends control flows to terminal, is linked into which server reception service to control it.For example, as shown in Figure 2, the content service pilot unit can be incorporated into the live TV stream of first channel first server, and the live TV stream of second channel is incorporated into second server etc.And these servers that have been introduced into the corresponding channel live TV stream can be described as first server.
Terminal is used under the control of content service pilot unit, receives the broadcast of decoding of Media Stream that the media server of appointment sends.Wherein, this terminal, can for personal computer (Personal Computer, PC), have the television set of IPTV set-top box or mobile phone etc.
When specific implementation, suppose to have 100 channels, code stream is 2Mbps, and every channel time-shifting length is 1 hour, and then total time shift content size is about 100G.If this time shift service system comprises 20 media servers, then each server need dispose the 6G internal memory and is used for the time shift content caching, and wherein 5G uses as initial configuration, and 1G uses as dynamic dispatching.Usually, the internal memory that is used for buffer memory time shift content that disposes in each media server need be greater than the mean value of all channel time-shifting content total amounts divided by media server quantity, and general the requirement surpasses 10%.
Because the user's time-shift request can be divided into as cassette tape formula image record/play machine (Video Cassette Recorder such as F.F., rewind down, time-out, recoveries, VCR) two stages of positioning service and normal play, generally to carry out positioning action earlier, then normal play.When VCR location (time-delay starting point) is that this server need enter next media server to content service orientation unit requests when just arriving a certain media server buffer memory border, online service is switched to the service of continuing on another server.
Therefore, based on as mentioned above, media server of the present invention when the VCR positioning service that is further used for the user arrives its buffer memory border, sends the instruction that request enters next media server to content service orientation unit; Terminal of the present invention is further used for the redirect message that sends according to the content service pilot unit, is transferred to this VCR service that continues of next media server; The content service pilot unit is further used for according to receiving the message that request that certain media server sends enters next media server, and the notice terminal forwards this VCR service that continues of next server to.
In addition, because the time shift content is cached in respectively in a plurality of media servers according to the preset time section, the starting point of therefore delaying time will be served by different media servers at a distance of the time shifting request that surpasses the preset time section.As shown in Figure 3, the time-delay starting point is U1 and U2, and the time shifting request of U4 and U5 is all at a distance of in the preset time section, therefore can ask in same media server, to serve, and the time-delay starting point be two time shifting request of U2 and U3 at a distance of having exceeded a time period, therefore can only serve by different media servers.
Therefore, based on as mentioned above, content service pilot unit of the present invention, whether the spacing that is further used for analyzing between the time-delay starting point of different time shifting request surpasses predetermined amount of time, when this spacing surpasses predetermined amount of time, wherein last time shifting request is retained in and serves in the former media server, serves and change back one time shift request over to next media server; After this spacing does not surpass predetermined amount of time, then permit described different time shifting request and in same media server, serve.
In addition, when the load of a certain media server arrives certain threshold value, need to seek the media server that an existing free memory has idle service ability again, a last time-delay stream of the channel that the online service number is maximum in the former media server is incorporated into idle server flows buffer memory.Along with the increase of idle server content caching, gradually the online service of former media server is switched to idle server, to alleviate the load level of former media server.
Therefore, based on as mentioned above, content service pilot unit of the present invention, be further used for analyzing load (online service number) situation of each media server, and after receiving the message that is in heavy condition that wherein certain media server reports, control is in underloading and the server of the surplus vacant buffering area live TV stream that inserts this heavy condition server current channel row cache of going forward side by side still, along with the increase of cache contents in this light condition server, the time shift service with the current channel of this heavy condition server switches to this light condition server gradually.
Described media server is further used for when its load meets or exceeds predetermined high threshold, reports it to be in the message of heavy condition to content service orientation unit.
Shown in Fig. 4 (1), the server on the left side has 9 of online services (supposing that thresholding is 8), be in heavy condition, at this moment this server reports that to content service orientation unit it is in heavy condition, the content service pilot unit is after determining the right server load is the lightest to have only 3 online services and also have vacant buffering area, instruct this underloading server to insert the live TV stream and the buffer memory of channel 1, and along with the content caching increase switches to the right server to the time shift service of channel 1 on the server of the left side gradually, shown in Fig. 4 (2).The online service of final like this three servers tends to balance, and all is 6.Because the time period T1-1 of channel 1 possesses content at present on two servers, therefore follow-up to this channel should the time period time shifting request can be distributed on these two servers, divide timing to pay the utmost attention to the light server of load.In addition, when the time shifting request of the right other segmentations of server more for a long time, cause its load to increase the weight of, also can reach the purpose that alleviates its load, shown in Fig. 5 (1), Fig. 5 (2) by the time shift service of its T1-1 time period is switched back to left side server.
In addition, when two servers all simultaneously buffer memory during the time shift content of certain time period of certain channel, if the load of one of them server drops under certain thresholding, can merge to a media server to the time shift service of this time period of this channel, and discharge the spatial cache and the service ability of another media server standby.
Therefore, content service pilot unit of the present invention, be further used at definite each media server while buffer memory the time shift service of identical time period of same channel, and wherein the load of a server drops to predetermined minimum threshold when following, and time shift service that should the time period with this channel on another server merges to this server.
Shown in Fig. 6 (1), when the online service of left side server drops to 4, report content service orientation unit, server switches back to left side server with 3 services of 1 time period of channel T1-1 on the right of content service pilot unit notice, the back loading situation is switched shown in Fig. 6 (2) in server buffer release district in the right simultaneously.
