The following describes the realization of the multiple IPTV business platform of access of the method according to this invention and terminal equipment.
At first introduce the classification that the IPTV business platform is realized.
Realize and technological development direction that according to technology the business authentication authoring system of IPTV business platform roughly can be divided three classes: 1) rely on the EPG system to carry out dynamic operation by set-top box in the mode of HTTP+HTML+JavaScript; 2) mode that relies on customized network agreement (customization TCP or udp protocol) or general Web Service (Web service) interface protocol is solidified by set-top box that logic carries out; 3) mixing of preceding two class modes is used.
The EPG system of IPTV business platform and interactive value-added system all adopt the mode of HTTP+HTML+JavaScript to carry out dynamic operation by set-top box, and technology development in future direction is to have page dynamic access technology such as adding Ajax on the page technology now.The set-top box behavior that the JavaScript of standard need control the IPTV business platform does not define proprietary control function, each platform adopts different JavaScript EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA to realize the ability control of these set-top box bottoms at present, as controlling media play, interface display control, effect control etc.
There are very many variations in the media delivery service of IPTV business platform.The algorithm that some has adopted complicated internal zone dividing makes the load of distribution of media can be issued to very high efficiency equilibrium in the participation of terminal equipment; Some adopted on the basis of conventional flow media server carry out at the IPTV service application that I/O optimizes realize the lifting of load capacity with protocol extension; Some then merges subregion and conventional flow agreement, reaches the lifting of function and performance after the extended flow agreement.All these media delivery services all relate to the modification of existing Open Standard stream protocol or use stream protocol fully independently to reach the Capability Requirement of IPTV distribution of media.The media container form difference that media delivery service may be taked in distribution media, network carrying agreement difference, quality control protocol difference.
Mainly be divided into five part: OS and hardware driving in the architecture of set-top box, set-top box management, professional control, media player, browser.Finish the access of an IPTV platform and need change professional control, media player, browser usually.The disparate modules of set-top box adopts different agreements, finish business authentication authoring system to the IPTV business platform by cooperatively interacting, the access and the visit of media delivery service, electronic program guidance system, interactive value-added system etc.The present invention is directed to different IPTV platforms, the corresponding interface of definition on the basis of the existing functional module of set-top box, implant each plug-in unit with to solving the adaptive of different IP TV business platform, other parts of set-top box need not be considered the details that is connected with the IPTV business platform.
The following describes the access of the method according to this invention and terminal to the business authentication authoring system of different IP TV business platform.
To relying on the EPG system to carry out the service authentication system of dynamic operation by set-top box in the mode of HTTP+HTML+Javascript, getEPGURL interface by the back authentication plug-in unit of starting shooting obtains the URL of authentication, set-top box loads browser the registration of JavaScript expansion plugin is entered browser JavaScript engine, browser by the URL access authentication system the page and carry out JavaScript on the page, verification function in the EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA among the JavaScript is called, and the JavaScript expansion plugin of the JavaScript engine of browser calls this on identifying algorithm that is mapped to the authentication plug-in unit and finishes authentication calculations.Browser returns to service authentication system with the result by HTTP, and service authentication system mandate set-top box visit EPG server launches follow-up business.
The mode that relies on customized network agreement or general Web Service interface protocol is solidified the service authentication system that logic is carried out by set-top box, by the protocol access system of authentication plug-in unit in back of starting shooting with the service authentication system regulation, by obtaining Service Ticket after the authentication, generate the URL of visit EPG, set-top box software obtains the URL of visit EPG by the getEPGURL interface of authentication plug-in unit, start browser access EPG server, launch follow-up business.
To mixing the service authentication system of aforesaid way, by the protocol access system of authentication plug-in unit in back of starting shooting with the service authentication system regulation, obtain the authentication scrip after finishing the authentication section step, generate the URL of visit EPG, set-top box software obtains the URL that interface obtains authentication by the getEPGURL interface of authentication plug-in unit, set-top box loads browser the registration of JavaScript expansion plugin is entered browser JavaScript engine, browser by the URL access authentication system the page and carry out JavaScript on the page, verification function in the EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA among the JavaScript is called, and the JavaScript expansion plugin of the JavaScript engine of browser calls this on identifying algorithm that is mapped to the authentication plug-in unit and finishes authentication calculations.Browser returns to service authentication system with the result by HTTP, and service authentication system mandate set-top box visit EPG server launches follow-up business.
Service authentication system in service in order to confirm target access platform type, the example of realizing (being not limited to this realization) can be to insert configuration information by the platform on the set-top box to obtain definite Platform Type, this information is described in the configuration information of set-top box, and the user can be by entering the Platform Type that the set-top box configuration interface is revised needs access.
Then, access and the visit to the EPG system and the interactive value-added system of different IP TV business platform of the method according to this invention and system is described.
EPG system and interactive value-added system for different IP TV business platform, the set box browser basis is complete in the support of the HTML+JavaScript of standard. at the support of JavaScript EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA, by in browser JavaScript engine, implanting the JavaScript expansion plugin, the function of JavaScript spread function can be mapped on the existing fulfillment capability function of set-top box by physical layer interface.For the JavaScript EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA of different platform, the JavaScript plug-in unit is finished different object method to the existing fulfillment capability Function Mapping of same set-top box.
Fig. 5 is the example that illustrates according to the mapping of the basic application programming interfaces (API) of JavaScript EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA of the present invention and bottom.As shown in Figure 5, platform A adopts the JavaScript expansion of object A, platform B adopts the JavaScript expansion of object B, each object method of object A is mapped to the basic application programming interfaces of set-top box bottom, and each object method of object B also is to be mapped to the basic application programming interfaces of this set-top box bottom.These basic capacity application programming interfaces are the universal applications program interface that set-top box realizes at the needs of integrated JavaScript expansion plugin.In the present invention these API are reduced Flash (flash memory) read-write, global memory's variable read-write, the set-top box essential information reads, player control, OSD figure layer shows control, key response control, functions such as JVM control.Can satisfy multi-platform needs by these functions being used in combination of expansion plugin inside.If object A and object B are JavaScript objects of the same name, then need insert configuration information according to the platform on the set-top box when the EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA plug-in unit is implanted and obtain the object realization that definite Platform Type loads correspondence, promptly this time, object A and object B can not be present in the JavaScript engine context simultaneously.
At last, access and the visit to the media delivery service of different IP TV business platform of the method according to this invention and terminal equipment is described.
Media delivery service for different platform, the platform otherness of distribution of media agreement is very big, and media content format limited comparatively speaking (all being the form that existing top-set hardware or software decoder can be supported basically), therefore network media data source plug-in is loaded with the form of a data source block of the inside of set-top box media player, handles the reception of network media data in player.The decoding of data and broadcast are then handled by the subsequent treatment parts of media player.At different IP TV business platform, the agreement difference that adopts, plug-in unit is all registered the procotol of the IPTV platform supported when the broadcast URL of media player registration, makes the protocol processes of different platform all be directed to the media data source plug-in unit by media player automatically and handles.And in the inner protocol contents that realizes a plurality of platforms of media data source plug-in unit.In plug-in unit protocol processes process, need the internal authentication algorithm of invokes authentication plug-in unit to finish the Certificate Authority process of media play at the authentication processing in the different platform media interviews process.The external interface of network media data source plug-in adopts and specifies the definition of integrated set-top box media player internal data source block accordant interface.For instance, suppose that the A platform adopts rtsp: //the medium URL form of hostname/resource.ts, the B platform adopt '<media〉<id idvalue</id<server serverip</server</media ' the URL form, the C platform also is to adopt rtsp: //the medium URL form of hostname/resource.ts.Wherein A, B, C platform have nothing in common with each other on concrete medium interaction protocol.The reference of network media data source plug-in realizes, in the time of to the medium URL of media player registration will " rtsp " and "<media " all be registered as the procotol that can explain, when player starts, at "<media〉", plug-in unit can directly be enabled the agreement of B platform and operate, for " rtsp ", plug-in unit need insert configuration information by the platform on the set-top box and obtain definite Platform Type, and the agreement of determining to adopt the A platform still is that the agreement of C platform is come receiving media information.
In short, for platform A, set-top box start-up loading authentication plug-in unit, and setting key value table readjustment and event call-back function, it is A that the authentication plug-in unit inserts configuration information acquisition Platform Type by the platform on the set-top box, the Verification System of the authentication protocol visit A of employing A platform forms the URL of EPG, and set-top box is called getEPGURL, and set-top box starts browser and loads the JavaScript expansion plugin to the JavaScript engine.Wherein, calling of above-mentioned getEPGURL can be blocked, and that is to say, can wait to be certified finishing when set-top box is called this function.Browser access URL, JavaScript engine carry out the A EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA method on the A platform page, and JavaScript EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA A carries out representing of business tine with the basic API of bottom that method is mapped to set-top box.The control that comprises media player in the page is called, media player is activated, and the medium URL of acquisition A platform, media player is described word string according to the network protocol type of network media data source plug-in registration and is enabled plug-in unit as the data source parts, and network media data source plug-in is according to URL and platform configuration information confirms to enable the media protocol of A platform and the web medium server of A platform obtains media data alternately.Media player is play pipeline according to the media data information member that plug-in unit provides, and forms effectively to play stream, carries out media play.In the media play,, adopt the player Autonomous Control to play (, might be exactly that the page is by the JavaScript controls playing) for the B platform according to the page JavaScript setting of A platform.In playing process, network media data source is caught broadcast event according to A platform medium interaction protocol and is fed back to player, and player sends to browser respectively according to event type or oneself is handled.When running into the broadcast End Event, player quits work, and browser is taken over user's operation of back, so circulation.The user operates standby, is caught (supposing the not registration of A platform standby event browser) by set-top box, the dormancy function of set-top box invokes authentication plug-in unit, and the authentication plug-in unit sends standby message and clears up authentication information according to the A platform specifies, and set-top box enters dormancy.
Exposed interface for three plug-in units, the authentication plug-in unit exposes the getEPGURL function, and will authenticate relevant incident and feed back to the set-top box software system by key assignments table setting callback interface function, message notifying callback interface function and system hibernates or shutdown interface function.That is, set-top box need be called the getEPGURL function when start when integrated, and the setting key value table is set the callback interface function, message notifying callback interface function, and before the set-top box dormancy, call the dormancy interface function, before shutdown, call the shutdown interface function.The JavaScript expansion plugin exists with the EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA form of browser JavaScript engine, form for the JavaScript engine EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA of different browsers can be different, and the set-top box of integrated plugin is required to realize that basic API capability set is to finish the mapping of JavaScript EXPANDING DISPLAY AREA to the set-top box ability.Network media visit plug-in unit exists with the form of the internal data source block of media player, for different media players, the form of internal data source block can be different, the implementation of reference is the mode that shell separates with core, has the quick transplanting of realization, high efficiency and multi-protocols and shares benefits such as basic function module.
