Embodiment
Below by drawings and Examples, technical scheme of the present invention is described in further detail.
The schematic flow sheet of one embodiment of the method for switching fast for IPTV multicast channel of the present invention as shown in Figure 1.In the present embodiment, the quick switching flow of IPTV multicast channel comprises:
The IGMP that step 101, access device send Set Top Box adds message (IGMP Join) to be transmitted to FCC server;
Step 102, FCC server provide channel quick handed over service according to IGMP Join message to Set Top Box;
Step 103, FCC server perceive new channel program stream when synchronous, and IGMP Join message is sent back to access device;
Step 104, access device pass through upper layer device by IGMP Join message, to add the multicast group of new channel;
When step 105, access device receive from the multicast Media Stream of upper layer device, notice FCC server stops the quick handed over service of channel, and multicast Media Stream is sent to Set Top Box.
In existing channel switching flow, channel number keyboard in user's remote controller or the front and back switching key of channel, or during the channel switching push button in user's direct control Set Top Box, Set Top Box can convert this operation to IGMP Join message and send to access device, to pass to upper layer device by access device, obtain the multicast Media Stream of corresponding channel.But this mode can cause the problem of channel change delay alternately due to complicated network signal, existing settling mode is that requirement Set Top Box is when initiating channel switching, first whereabouts FCC server sends request, obtain the channel content of buffer memory on FCC server, then after joining the multicast group of new channel, stop the service of FCC server, but this mode just requires Set Top Box transformation, can first to FCC server, send request, and this means and all will make this upgrading to the Set Top Box of all kinds brand of One's name is legion, difficulty is very big.
The present embodiment initiates the service of FCC server to change by access device to realize, when access device receives IGMP Join message, no longer direct this message of transparent transmission, but this message is transmitted to FCC server, by FCC server, for Set Top Box provides the program stream of the new channel in channel handoff procedure, when user is watched, do not have and postpone sense.Because FCC server is the new channel program stream of buffer memory, the new channel program stream that therefore offers Set Top Box will, early than current new channel program stream, therefore just need to, after synchronously completing, reinform upper layer device and Set Top Box be added to the multicast group of new channel conventionally.This notification procedure also participates in without Set Top Box, only needs FCC server when perception is synchronous, IGMP Join message is sent back to access device, then pass through upper layer device by access device.Can see, the present embodiment not only can solve the problem of channel change delay, and only needs FCC server and access device to transform, and transformation amount is much smaller than upgrading set top box.
