Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the multimedia data communication field, particularly relate to the IPTV system.
Background technology
IPTV is a Web TV, usually be also referred to as IPTV, it is a kind of emerging network application at present, it is the Internet value-added service, it utilizes the infrastructure of broadband internet, as main terminal, provide multiple digital media service and the value-added service thereof that comprises TV programme with domestic television set and computer by Internet protocol (IP).The advantage of IPTV maximum is interactive and watches as required, has thoroughly changed the characteristics of traditional tv One-to-All Broadcast.The appearance of IPTV has been satisfied IPTV user greatly to multiple demands such as online video display appreciations, for the user provides the carrier-class service.
As shown in Figure 1, the IPTV system generally includes following subsystem: medium processing subsystem, media management subsystem, business support subsystem, stream service subsystem, electronic program guide (EPG) (Electronic Program Guide) subsystem.Wherein, the main task of medium processing subsystem is the flow-medium performance source that original program source is changed into coded format up to specification, is the inlet that medium enter into the IPTV system.Original program source may be the copy of film, also may be the DVD video disc, also may be the video/audio signal source of numeral or simulation, the medium processing subsystem with these source of media change into be adapted at transmitting on the Internet look the audio format file.The main task of media management subsystem is that media resource is managed, and comprises the collection and the generation of the collection of layout, EPG information of Content Management, the plan of medium and generation, report messages.What strategy the Content Management of medium comprises by is stored and distributing contents.The layout of plan is general relevant with the TV program, guarantees that associated documents in the time-moving television program request, can carry out program request by period and programm name, by the time TV reception.The collection of EPG information and generation customize the EPG interface according to media content usually, can control which media program like this and appear at the EPG interface, simultaneously, can also plan to generate relevant programme in the interface according to layout.The collection of report messages and generation by the data of information such as media resource state, operating position are added up, to generate silver screen hits tabulation, up-to-date film tabulation etc., for the analysis that the network operator is correlated with, also make things convenient for the user to select.The business support subsystem comprises the relevant management work of operation such as user management, accounting management, pricing strategy management, network device management.The business support management subsystem provides the server and the Internet resources of service for the user, and customizes the tariff policy of related service, the data of going back leading subscriber simultaneously, and can provide personalized management service for the user.The stream service subsystem is the subsystem that stream service directly is provided for the user, is the core of system, and the service of whole Streaming Media is provided safeguard.Some fringe node storage area Media Streams also are set, so that share the load of stream service subsystem in some IPTV system.The EPG subsystem is the door of system, be vital in the IPTV system, the EPG subsystem is realized the electronic navigation of customer service visit, and the triggering of all customer services all realizes by EPG, that is to say that the user selects TV reception and realizes various value-added services by EPG.Above-mentioned five groups of subsystems become the functional mode of IPTV system, for the user provides IPTV service.Client device then can utilize set-top box (Set-Top Box), carries out information interaction by network and IPTV system, and receives the various services that IPTV provides.
For the interactive of IPTV being provided and watching as required, the EPG subsystem is according to current and programme information in the future, generation comprises the various EPG assemblies of programme information, for example, program main menu EPG, video request program menu EPG, the EPG of third party's interface (for example the streaming media service that other manufacturers provide beyond this IPTV system operator, such as business such as weather forecast, news, stock markets) etc. is described.In addition, the EPG assembly can also comprise information such as channel, broadcast time, expenses standard, provides reference for the user selects program.Wherein, the presentation format of EPG has binary system, text formatting, XML, HTML etc.After the user sent request, the EPG subsystem sent to client with the EPG assembly of needs, and client set top box is presented to the user after resolving the EPG assembly.
But, in the prior art, when the user need browse new EPG assembly, for example, the user clicks " up-to-date film " on main menu, then client is at first with the current page, be that main menu empties, send the request of processing to the EPG subsystem then, and some variablees of initialization, and then wait for that the EPG subsystem makes respective handling, for example the information such as original position of the EPG assembly that will get in the calculated data storehouse are called data access interface then and are taken out EPG assembly (for example comprising programm name, price, brief introduction, placard picture name etc.) from database.For some IPTV system, the EPG subsystem may also need relevant programme information and user profile are sent to the business support subsystem, whether the latency services support subsystem has authority to appreciate this partial programme to the user is made judgement, if authority is arranged, the EPG subsystem just sends to client with the EPG assembly.Receive that after the EPG assembly, the set-top box of client will be resolved, the initialization cursor position is shown to the user with silver screen hits information again on the page that empties.And, importantly, if resolved before the user need browse, the page of the EPG assembly that had promptly loaded, then client has to switch back the page that has just emptied, and that is to say, client need restart loading procedure, send the EPG assembly of being asked to request of sending of EPG subsystem and wait EPG subsystem, and after receiving, load and then present to the user.Yet, in above-mentioned loading procedure, no matter be EPG subsystem responses client request, extract corresponding EPG assembly and send it to client, or client all needs the regular hour to the loading procedure of the EPG assembly that receives.Particularly when needs carry out verification process mentioned above, perhaps network congestion, when perhaps a lot of users send similar request simultaneously, perhaps the long situation of transmission path between client and the EPG subsystem just needs the longer time to switch between former and later two EPG assemblies.Therefore, the time that the emptying of the page consumed with loading procedure may be tangible for the user, or even it is intolerable, the QoE (Quality of Experience, Quality of experience) that this will greatly influence the user influences the evaluation of user to entire I PTV system.
Yet, also improved plan is not proposed the handoff delay between the EPG assembly in the prior art.
Summary of the invention
In order to solve above-mentioned defective of the prior art, the present invention proposes the apparatus and method that are used to optimize user interface formats in a kind of IPTV system, the user interface formats of the optimization that apparatus and method provided of the application of the invention can realize handover operation level and smooth between the EPG assembly.

Embodiment
Basic thought of the present invention is to optimize user interface formats by reasonable mechanism.This realizes by the device that optimization user interface formats as shown in Figure 2 is provided in the EPG subsystem.
Go out optimization user interface formats device 2 of the present invention as shown in Figure 2, this device comprises that EPG selects module 21, and this module is according to user's relevant information, for example according to the user right in the business support system, perhaps user individual customized information etc., the EPG assembly that appointment need show to the user.This EPG assembly is relevant with the business that IPTV provides, and is perhaps relevant with customer service.For example, if the monthly payment user, the EPG assembly of then specifying all to offer monthly payment user's media resource information comprises and describes the homepage that the monthly payment user can browse and the EPG assembly of correlator menu.If the user has the authority of browsing video program request, then select the promising video request program user of institute that the EPG assembly of programme information and associated description information is provided, as recent film is tabulated, audience ratings is the highest film table etc.If the user has selected to exceed the medium or the Service Source of service range by increasing the mode of paying, then EPG selects module 21 to specify the EPG assembly of describing these extra medium or Service Source.It should be noted that EPG selects module 21 selected EPG assemblies to be not limited to describe the EPG assembly of business information, the EPG assembly can also be the assembly of the explicit user Media Stream of asking.Preferably, in response to user's request, the EPG in the IPTV system selects module to select an amount of EPG assembly relevant with customer service according to concrete applicable cases.For example, if this user is the video request program user, also be to have the user who uses third party's applied business authority, then when the user asks VOD service, EPG selects module to determine it is to select all EPG assemblies relevant with this customer service according to the factors such as load capability of this subscription client, still selects the EPG assembly that part is relevant with this customer service or selection mainly is associated with this user's current request.Perhaps EPG selects module 21 to use information according to the business before this user, if such as use professional data to show that this user will use third party's applied business in the next time period usually, then select the relevant EPG assembly EPG assembly relevant with the video request program request according to this user.
Form optimal module 22 can use the label in the label pond 23 to dispose the form of EPG assembly in user interface according to data at various factorss such as the integrality of user interface, validity, loading velocities.Here, the user interface that form optimal module 23 is disposed is not limited to the zone that client display screen covers, and that is to say, with respect to the display screen of client, user interface can be the zone along the display screen lateral extension, also can be the zone of vertically extending along display screen.Form optimal module 22 is according to selecting the specified relevant factor of EPG assembly of module 21 with EPG, disposes the position of each specified EPG assembly on user interface, the zone of covering user interface etc.EPG assembly of form optimal module 22 every deployment, just from label pond 23, take out a label and this EPG component binding, just deployment order is added to respective field after disposing with the label of this EPG component binding, by label the EPG assembly is mapped to the relevant position of user interface, and then realizes optimization user interface formats.Particularly, can to dispose the entire display screen curtain that specified EPG assembly covers client still be the part display screen to form optimal module 22.If dispose the cover part display screen, then form optimal module 22 determines that further these EPG assemblies are positioned at the particular location of display screen and the scope of overlay area, and the numerical value of position that sign is concrete and scope adds the location field (location field) with the label of this EPG component binding to.Select the specified a plurality of EPG assemblies of module 21 for EPG, form optimal module 22 can be according to the complexity of EPG assembly, load factor such as needed time, is presented on the position of viewable portion at first with loading EPG deployment of components faster in user interface.Herein, viewable portion refers to that this page is presented on the part of the display screen overlay area of client.And, then it is deployed in the position that can just not be presented on viewable portion in the user interface at first for the slower EPG assembly of the complicated loading of some contents, be about to it and be deployed in the not visible part of user interface.Herein, not visible part refers to not be presented in the user interface part of display screen overlay area, as top, below, left side, the right side of display screen.In addition, form optimal module 22 can also be according to user's the personal settings or the characteristics of customer service, for example, during being provided with, this user individual collected VOD service, then form optimal module 22 will show the not visible part of the EPG deployment of components of each submenu under this main menu in user interface with the EPG deployment of components of the display video program request main menu viewable portion in user interface.Preferably, form optimal module 22 can also be disposed user interface according to the factor such as complicated and simple of the relevance between the EPG assembly, content.For example, because in the recent period new film is less, the content of EPG assembly that causes showing the recent film tabulation is simple, correspondingly, the EPG assembly content of describing detail (as pay imformation, reproduction time, channel etc.) is also fewer, then form optimal module 22 can be according to circumstances with above-mentioned two EPG deployment of components suitable position in user interface, make them can be presented on viewable portion simultaneously.Preferably, for the label that comprises extra information field, form optimal module 22 can also be added corresponding information in extra information field according to the situation of disposing, and for example, has disposed how many EPG assemblies, which EPG assembly needs in this user interface than long load time or the like.In a word, form optimal module 22 is reasonably disposed selected EPG assembly by utilizing EPG assembly various and specified in the IPTV system self and user-dependent content, thereby optimizes the form of user interface.
Label pond 23 is generated in advance, is used for and specific EPG component binding, and then will be mapped to user interface with the EPG assembly of its binding.Label in the label pond 23 comprises necessary field, defines the position of EPG assembly in user interface.Can add the location field of ordering by form optimal module 22 except comprising in the label, can also comprise the field of some additional informations, so that provide more information for client references.For example, in the label except comprising location field, can also comprise load information field (loading field), be used for showing the relevant parameter of loading procedure, for example need to take how much system resource, how long needs can load finishes etc., and the displaying pattern field (stylefield) at the amount field of the EPG assembly of being disposed in this user interface (number field), interface etc.According to the additional information that provides in the label, client can reasonably be distributed the resource of oneself.For example, when having disposed more EPG assembly in this user interface of client terminal to discover, when finding that perhaps wherein some EPG assembly needs the long load time, client can be the loading distribution more resources of this user interface according to the resource operating position, so that reduce the time that user interface loads.
It should be noted that, above-mentioned example has mainly been described the deployment of form optimal module to the position of selected EPG assembly on user interface, but those skilled in the art can understand, the form optimal module can also be disposed the various parameters of EPG assembly on user interface, so long as the information that is associated with user interface can be disposed by the form optimal module.
For convenience of explanation, in the example according to the device of optimization user interface formats of the present invention of above-detailed, as shown in Figure 2, concentrate and described EPG and select module 21, form optimal module 22 and label pond 23.But, this is not appreciated that limitation of the present invention, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, the structure of IPTV system is Protean in concrete the application, difference according to concrete IPTV system configuration, EPG selects module 21, form optimal module 22 and label pond 23 can be arranged on the consolidated network node, also can be arranged on the different network nodes, and selecting which kind of set-up mode is can be according to concrete applied environment and fixed.Similarly, the field that is comprised in the label shown in Figure 3 is as just example, and according to the optimization ability of concrete application demand and form optimal module 22, the field in the label can be expanded accordingly, also can carry out necessary deleting.The title of respective field should be as the restriction that the concrete field of label is provided with yet.In a word, as long as label can supply to be enough to the deployment order of bear format optimal module 22, and then realize that the EPG assembly gets final product to the mapping of user interface.
Fig. 4 shows the example of the device that uses optimization user interface formats of the present invention.Fig. 5 A then is a method of optimizing user interface formats accordingly.
After the IPTV application start of client, client is sent service request by set-top box.The EPG subsystem receives after the request that in response to user's request, EPG selects module 21 according to user's request and user's business information, and selection need send to user's EPG assembly, step 501.For example, the EPG assembly of information such as the EPG assembly of the video request program EPG assembly of the Media Stream of the ongoing EPG assembly of selection demonstration loading, the EPG assembly that shows the professional main menu of IPTV, explicit user request, display of broadcast TV BTV (Broadcast TV), demonstration third party applied business.Wherein the video request program EPG assembly of the Media Stream of explicit user request also comprises the Play Control setting except comprising the video playback zone, allows the user to carry out operations such as broadcast, time-out, rewinding, F.F., and automatic control can be set in this zone.The EPG assembly of display of broadcast TV BTV comprises real-time radio and television play area and control setting.The EPG assembly of information such as demonstration third party applied business can show for example weather forecast business, news, stock market or the like.Herein, shown in Fig. 4 A, as an example, EPG select module 21 according to this user's Information Selection show load carry out in, the EPG assembly of the video request program of the Media Stream of the professional main menu of IPTV, explicit user request.After this, for the EPG assembly of each selection, form optimal module 22 is all taken out a label and this EPG component binding from label pond 23, step 502, form optimal module 22 is disposed each EPG assembly position in user interface, step 503 according to selected EPG assembly and relevant information.Then, add deployment order to respective field with the label of this EPG component binding, step 504.After this, label is finished the mapping of EPG assembly to user interface, and then realizes the optimization to user interface formats.Here, owing to show that the ongoing the simplest and needed load time of EPG assembly of loading is the shortest, thereby it be deployed in the position that is presented on viewable portion in the user interface at first, promptly, when client presents user interface, the user will at first see loading and carry out the middle page.Then, position during the EPG deployment of components of the professional main menu of form optimal module 22 demonstration IPTV that loading velocity is slower relatively loads in user interface and carries out under the EPG assembly, and can be provided with when loading and just this page is placed viewable portion when finishing.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that this can realize by calling modes such as incident.In this example, form optimal module 22 is deployed as the viewing area with each EPG assembly in the zone that user interface covers, and promptly each EPG assembly is full screen display in client, that is to say that each user can see an EPG assembly on screen.Similarly, the EPG assembly of information such as the video request program EPG assembly of the Media Stream of 22 pairs of explicit user requests of form optimal module and demonstration third party applied business is disposed.
Preferably, device of the present invention not only can be based on user's request, but also can be based on some trigger mechanism, for example the IPTV default initiatively provides the time of the EPG assembly that some this user may need in next time period to client, perhaps based on the user started client the set-top box incident or based on the user paid arrears the arrearage incident, the user has obtained higher permission event etc., the operation of EPG assembly is selected in starting.
Client receives by the device that receives user interface information after the user interface information that the EPG subsystem returns, and the beginning initialization also loads by the device that is carried in each EPG assembly of disposing in the user interface.Wherein, each EPG assembly position in user interface is defined by the label with its binding.Here, according to the deployment of form optimal module 22, the coverage of each EPG assembly is identical with the overlay area of client display screen, and promptly height is identical with the height and the width of display screen viewing area with width, and vertical arrangement from top to bottom.At first, be presented in client display screen for show loading the ongoing page, shown in Fig. 4 A, though and client loading other EPG assemblies, imperceptible their existence of user.After the EPG assembly loading that shows the professional main menu of IPTV is finished, client is for example by calling the mode of incident, just this page marks is presented on it on display screen to the viewing area, shown in Fig. 4 B, correspondingly, the demonstration in the user interface loads the ongoing page and just is in not visible zone.Owing to show that the EPG assembly load time of the professional main menu of IPTV is very short, thereby the user sees loading and can browse the main menu page soon after the information in carrying out.Meanwhile, client still can be finished the EPG assembly of other guide relative complex in the user interface that does not also have to have loaded on the backstage.Thereby, when user's browsing information, form optimal module 22 at all EPG assemblies of user interface deploy just at the backstage loaded.Therefore, when the user need switch to other EPG assemblies, just can be directly switch to the EPG assembly that expectation is browsed by remote controller, with respect to scheme of the prior art, this handover operation does not have time-delay substantially.For example, when the user wants before switching, to show that the page of the professional main menu of IPTV is positioned at the viewing area when showing that the professional main menu page of IPTV switches to the video request program page, the video request program page is positioned at the below of main menu page face, shown in Fig. 4 B.Then, the user switches to the viewing area by remote controller with the video request program page, shown in Fig. 4 C, show that then the ongoing page of loading and the main menu page all are in the not visible zone in the user interface, because the user required page of browsing was all loaded by client and finished this moment, thereby the needed stand-by period when having eliminated in the prior art handover operation.And, importantly,, only need use a teleswitch that it is just passable that it is switched go back to the viewing area if during the professional main menu page of the demonstration IPTV of user before wishing again to switch back, shown in Fig. 4 B, need not wait.This is because in carrying out last time the handover operation process, client does not empty the main menu page in the user interface, but it is moved to not visible zone, and it so does not need he is reloaded still on user interface.Certainly, client also can be when being necessary, for example scarcity of resources the time, empty some complicated EPG assemblies, still, even if taked to empty operation, because this assembly had corresponding setting on user interface, thereby switch the needed time and can reduce greatly.
Here, for convenience of explanation, user interface only comprises four EPG assemblies in the example of enumerating, but those skilled in the art can understand, in real world applications, according to user's the authority and the concrete service conditions of customization, user interface can comprise a lot of EPG assemblies.
After it should be noted that client is received user interface information in the above-mentioned example, load the EPG assembly of disposing in the user interface simultaneously.But embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and client can be made accommodation according to concrete applicable cases.For example, if user request is the VOD service of concrete a certain film, the EPG subsystem that has then used optimization user interface formats of the present invention is when client provides VOD service, also can select the EPG assembly relevant with this customer service, for example relevant EPG assembly with video request program, and by the form optimal module user interface is optimized, then user interface information and Media Stream are together sent to client.After client was received this information, because the current needs of user is VOD service, then client can be used for its main resource the loading of VOD service, carries out the loading of the EPG assembly in the user interface after finishing loading again.That is to say that client is not to load the EPG assembly simultaneously, can select to load in succession, distribute according to need modes such as resource loads simultaneously according to user's real needs and resource operating position.Preferably, before needing, the user finishes the loading of whole EPG assemblies.Suppose to be in the worst situation, promptly when needing, the user also do not finish loading, owing to saved according to the solution of the present invention and to have emptied the page, handled, carry out between EPG subsystem and the client link such as information transmission to EPG subsystem request relevant information, EPG subsystem temporarily temporarily, load the needed time also to be far smaller than scheme of the prior art.
EPG assembly of the present invention refers to any file that can describe business information in the IPTV system.User's personalized customization information refer to Any user self-ordained with the professional relevant information of IPTV.Label refers to that all orders of can the bear format optimal module disposing are mapped to the information of user interface with the EPG assembly, as signaling, field, grouping etc.
Above-mentioned execution mode only is used for not should be understood to limitation of the present invention for example.Along with the difference of IPTV system configuration in the practical application, method of the present invention and device are not limited to use in the EPG subsystem, in fact, can be arranged in any physical node that can obtain system's user profile, EPG module information.Device of the present invention also needn't be positioned at same physical node, according to application need, can be scattered in different physical nodes.
As indicated above, apparatus and method by optimization user interface formats provided by the invention, client just can just be initiated and the relevant process of switching EPG assembly and wait the user to send when asking need not in prior art the wherein loading of the EPG assembly of deployment after receiving user interface information temporarily.Thereby when the user need be switched between different EPG assemblies, not needing to meet with may the intolerable stand-by period in the prior art.Preferably, handover operation moves to not visible zone with current EPG assembly, and it is not emptied, and when the user need browse the page before switching once more, client need not to carry out again load operation.
