Embodiment
For making the object of the invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, the present invention is done further to set forth in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
The embodiment of the invention adopts the content microtomy, through the logical memory space and the amount of physical memory of separate users, improves the memory by using rate of system, and its principle is as shown in Figure 2:
Storage is divided into two spaces, and one is the user logic memory space, and one is the actual physical memory space.The user logic memory space is not really stored recorded content; And the descriptor of only preserving recorded content; Comprise the zero-time, duration, termination time equal time information of size, this recorded content of programme content sign, shared amount of physical memory etc., and the operating position of the current amount of physical memory of user; And the true programme content that amount of physical memory storage user records.
After the division of having carried out memory space, need cut into slices to the content that the user records, its implication is divided into some unit with user's recorded content exactly.Here, the size that we set each section is T, and T can represent the time span of cutting into slices, and also can be expressed as the byte length of section, below selects fixedly duration to explain as the criteria for classifying of cutting into slices.In addition; From the consideration of section alignment, that is to say that from the beginning all sections must arrange according to regular time at interval uniformly, time scale that also need a standard; More common ground; The system time that can select programme televised live also can be selected standard At All Other Times certainly as criterion, and the present invention does not limit this.When customization after the period of desirable recording, system need cut into slices to recorded content according to system time and slice size T.Because the recording time terminal of each customization can't the strict alignment time, will produce fragment like this, this fragment is closely-related with the customization behavior, is referred to as privately owned section; And, be referred to as to share section for the section of cutting apart by the standard duration.Privately owned section and shared section all can be by records at user logic memory space and amount of physical memory, and just the user logic memory space only has the identification information of section, and amount of physical memory have the True Data of section.Set up mapping relations between the identification information of section and the section, promptly specific section identification information correspondence which or which section.
Through to the division of memory space and the section of user's recorded content, can obtain the mapping relations and the mapping object of memory space, promptly the user logic memory space is to the mapping of amount of physical memory, and mapping object is the content section.Need to make up a cover reasonable mechanism and manage this mapping relations.For example shown in Fig. 2; The performance recording content of the performance recording content description information representative of actual storage in the logical memory space of user A; The section i that is mapped in the amount of physical memory arrives section n; The performance recording content of the descriptor representative of the performance recording content of the actual storage in the logical memory space of user B, the section j that is mapped in the amount of physical memory arrives section m.
