Detailed Description
The embodiment of the invention describes a method for pushing videos, and relates to a server for providing video services and a client capable of providing video access services for users. Fig. 1a is a schematic structural diagram of a video push system to which an embodiment of the invention is applicable. As shown in fig. 1a, the video push system may comprise a client 101 and a server 102. The server may be any server in a server group including a plurality of servers for providing video-related services such as video downloading. The client may be an intelligent terminal, a website in which the video application is pre-installed or can be started is installed in the intelligent terminal, the client may also be the video application itself, and the client may also be a device such as an intelligent digital television set-top box, and the like, which is not particularly limited in this invention.
In an embodiment, a client 101 in the video push system may generate a pre-push request and send the pre-push request to a server 102, after receiving the pre-push request of the client 101, the server 102 may generate video push information and determine a pre-download data amount of a video corresponding to a pushed video identifier in the push information, so as to generate pre-stored indication information, and send the pre-stored indication information to the client 101, after receiving the pre-stored indication information sent by the server 102, the client 101 may download and store video data according to an indication of the pre-stored indication information, and when a user triggers to play a video corresponding to the video data, the video data may be directly played by using the video data, so as to shorten a play start time of the video. The play-starting time length refers to a time difference between a trigger time for a user to trigger playing of a video corresponding to the video data and a playing time for the video data to be played, and the shorter the play-starting time length is, the shorter the waiting time of the user is.
In one embodiment, upon receiving a user input triggering operation requesting video push, a pre-push triggering event may be considered to be generated. For example, when the current display interface of the client is a video application presentation page as shown in fig. 1b, when a user wants to trigger a video pre-push function, a trigger operation requesting video push may be input with respect to a pre-push button in the drawing, and when the client detects the trigger operation, it is determined that a pre-push trigger event is generated.
In one embodiment, a pre-push trigger event may also be considered to have occurred when a preset auto-push trigger condition is satisfied. Where the automatic push trigger condition may be a time condition, in one embodiment, the generation of the pre-push trigger condition may be confirmed when the current time is detected to be an off-peak time (e.g., 01: 00-10: 00)). Alternatively, the automatic push trigger condition may also be a bandwidth condition, and in one embodiment, it may be determined that the pre-push trigger condition is generated when it is detected that the current available bandwidth capacity is not less than the preset bandwidth capacity threshold.
In one embodiment, in a case that the generation of the pre-push trigger event is detected, one or more push video identifiers of videos that can be pushed to the user in advance may be determined according to video ranking information such as historical play data of a viewing history of the user, current various types of hot-broadcast video ranking lists and the like, for example, it is determined that the user has viewed the third set of "earth" documentaries last time based on the viewing history, video ranking is recommended based on a first page, it is determined that the hot-broadcast ranking of the documentaries also includes a "ocean" documentary at the head of the ranking, and at this time, the first set of "ocean" documentaries may be determined as one push video identifier.
Then, a pre-download data amount of each video corresponding to the push identifier can be determined, wherein the pre-download data amount represents the data size of the relevant video needing to be downloaded in advance. The pre-download data amount may be uniformly specified, for example, the pre-download data amount of the video corresponding to each pushed video identifier is set to be 10M, and of course, the pre-download data amount of the video corresponding to each pushed video identifier may also be determined according to some calculation rules, for example, the pre-download data amount of each video is determined comprehensively according to the remaining space of the memory of the terminal, the definition of the video, the playing time length of the video, and other factors.
After the pushed video identifier and the pre-download data amount are determined, pre-stored indication information for indicating the client of the corresponding user to download the video data corresponding to the pushed video identifier can be generated, and the data amount of the video data is determined according to the pre-download data amount.
And the client of the corresponding user can download the video corresponding to the pushed video identification of the corresponding data volume in advance at a proper time according to the pre-stored indication information. When a user watches a video at the end, if the video selected to be watched is pre-stored with a part of data volume, the part of data volume is directly played, and the rest of data volume is downloaded at the same time, so that the broadcast timeliness can be effectively ensured, and the watching efficiency of the user is guaranteed.
In an embodiment, please refer to fig. 2a, which is an interaction diagram of a video push method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps.
S101: the client generates a pre-push request and sends the pre-push request to the server. In one embodiment, the pre-push request carries user information and memory information of the client, where the memory information indicates the remaining memory capacity of the client. When the client detects the triggering operation of video pushing, the user information and the memory information of the client can be obtained, a pre-pushing request carrying the user information and the memory information is generated, and the pre-pushing request is sent to the server. The trigger operation may be input by the user by clicking, pressing, sliding, voice, etc. The user information may be account information of the user, such as a personal account, a user ID, and the like, which logs in the client.
S102: the server receives a pre-push request of the client. The pre-push request comprises user information of the client. The user information may refer to a user account number logged in by the client, and the user information is convenient to determine information such as the viewing history and the user permission of the user, so that a pushed video suitable for the corresponding user to view is found for the client.
S103: the server generates video push information for the client according to the pre-push rule, and determines the pre-download data volume of the video corresponding to the push video identification in the video push information.
S104: and the server generates pre-stored indication information for indicating the client to download and store the video data corresponding to the pushed video identifier according to the video pushing information and the pre-downloaded data volume, and sends the pre-stored indication information to the client. The data amount of the video data is determined according to the pre-download data amount.
In an embodiment, after receiving the pre-push request, the server may obtain user information of the client and memory information of the client according to the pre-push request, where the memory information may be remaining memory capacity of the client. In one embodiment, the server may obtain historical playing information and/or video ranking information (hereinafter collectively referred to as recommended reference information) of the user based on the user information, further determine a pushed video identifier of a pushed video according to a pre-pushing rule and the obtained recommended reference information, and further generate video pushing information by using the pushed video identifier of the pushed video, where the video pushing information includes the pushed video identifiers of the pushed videos. In an embodiment, after generating the video push information, the server may determine a remaining memory capacity of a preset proportion as an available memory capacity, and determine a pre-download data amount of a video corresponding to a push video identifier (hereinafter referred to as a push video) in the push information based on the available memory capacity, where a total data amount of the push video is less than or equal to the available memory capacity. Further, the server may determine the pre-download data amount of each pushed video according to the generated video pushing information and the pre-download data amount, and further generate pre-stored indication information for indicating the client to download and store the video data corresponding to the pushed video identifier according to the corresponding relationship between the pushed video and the pre-download data amount, where the data amount of the video data may be determined according to the pre-download data amount.
In one embodiment, the video push information may be a video push list recording push video identifications corresponding to push videos, and the push video identifications may uniquely correspond to the push videos, for example, may be video names, video numbers, and the like, as shown in table 1-1. In this case, the correspondence between the pre-downloaded data amount of the video corresponding to the push video identifier in the video push information (i.e. the push video) and the push video may be as shown in table 1-2.
TABLE 1-1
Serial number Video name
1 Video 001
2 Video 002
3 Video 003
Tables 1 to 2
Serial number Video name Predownload data volume (unit: M)

2 Video 002 5
3 Video 003 5
Referring to fig. 2b again, the schematic diagram is related to a flow of interaction between the client and the server according to the indication of the pre-stored indication information after receiving the pre-stored indication information.
S105: and the client receives pre-stored indication information sent by the server, and sends a video downloading request to the server according to the pre-stored indication information, wherein the video downloading request is used for requesting the video data corresponding to the pushed video identifier. The data amount of the video data is determined according to the pre-download data amount.
In an embodiment, after receiving the pre-stored indication information sent by the server, the client may obtain the video push information and the pre-download data amount of each push video recorded in the video push information from the pre-stored indication information, determine the actual download amount of each push video according to the pre-download data amount of each push video, and send a video download request to the server according to the push information and the determined actual download amount, so as to request the push video data with the actual download amount as the data amount, where the push video data is the video data corresponding to the push video identifier.
In an embodiment, a value corresponding to a data amount (i.e., an actual download amount) of the pushed video data may be equal to a pre-download data amount, or may satisfy a data amount range, where the data amount range may be obtained by up-down floating around the pre-download data amount, and a threshold of the up-down floating may be preset. For example, the threshold value of the up-down floating is 1M, the pre-stored indication information is as shown in table 1-2, and as can be seen from table 1-2, the pre-downloaded data amount corresponding to the video 002 is 5M, and then the data amount range obtained by the up-down floating with the pre-downloaded data amount as the center is [4M, 6M ], in this case, when the client needs to download the video data corresponding to the video 002, a video download request may be sent to the server to request the video 002 (i.e., the video data) with the actual download amount of [4M, 6M ].
S106: the server processes the video downloading request and obtains the video data indicated by the video downloading request.
S107: the server returns the video data to the client.
S108: and the client receives and stores the video data returned by the server according to the video downloading request.
In one embodiment, after receiving a video download request from a client, a server may obtain video data indicated by the video download request and return the obtained video data to the client, and after receiving the video data, the client may store the video data in a storage device, so that when a user subsequently plays a video corresponding to the video data, the client may directly play the video data, thereby accelerating the play-starting rate of the video. The storage device may be an SD card of the client. For example, the client sends a video download request to the server to request that 10M video 001 (i.e., video data) is actually downloaded, and after receiving the video download request, the server may obtain the 10M video 001 according to the video download request, and return the obtained 10M video 001 to the client, so that the client receives and stores the 10M video 001.
On the basis of the method described in fig. 2b, referring to fig. 3 again, the method may further include steps S301 to S308, and the client described in the method may include a storage device and a video application is pre-installed. In an embodiment, when a user logs in the video application and wants to watch a target video, a playing operation may be input for a video identifier of the target video, and the video application detects the playing operation input by the user, and when detecting the playing operation, may query whether video data corresponding to the target video is stored in a local storage device, and then returns a query result to the video application. If the query result indicates that the storage device stores the video data, on one hand, the video data can be directly utilized to play, namely, the video data is played; on the other hand, the server can also be requested to download other data in the target video after the video data is removed, that is, other video data after the video data is requested, so that the other video data can be conveniently played in subsequent playing, and the subsequent normal playing of the target video is ensured.
In other embodiments, the client may also directly execute the following steps when a preset time arrives or when an operation of the user is received: the method comprises two steps of generating video push information for a client according to a pre-push rule, determining the pre-download data volume of a video indicated by a push video identifier in the video push information, and generating pre-storage indication information according to the video push information and the pre-download data volume, wherein the client generates corresponding pre-storage indication information in advance, and performs corresponding processing such as video download request initiation at a subsequent appropriate time. For example, the client may obtain historical playing data of videos played by the user using the client based on the user information, determine which videos are most interesting to the user by analyzing the historical playing data, and rank the videos to generate the user interest ranking information. Further, the client may determine, according to a pre-push rule, a video identifier d (d is an integer greater than 0) before the ranking in the video indicated by the user interest ranking information as a pushed video identifier of the pushed video, and generate video push information by using the video push identifier of the pushed video. Further, the client can obtain the available memory capacity of the client, determine the pre-download data volume of the video indicated by each pushed video identifier in the video pushing information according to the available memory capacity, and further generate the pre-download indication information according to the video pushing information and the pre-download data volume.
Referring to fig. 4, it is a flowchart of a video pushing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method according to the embodiment of the present invention may be executed by a server, a server group, or a client. The method of an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps.
S401: and if a pre-push triggering event for the client is detected, generating video push information for the client according to a pre-push rule, wherein the video push information comprises a push video identifier.
In one embodiment, if the server performs step S401, it may be considered that a pre-push trigger event has been detected for the client if a pre-push request of the client is detected or a state parameter of the server satisfies a pre-push condition is detected. The state parameter of the server may be a time parameter, an available bandwidth capacity, etc. For example, it may be determined that the state parameter of the server satisfies the pre-push condition when the time indicated by the time parameter is a pre-push time (e.g., an off-peak time (e.g., 01: 00-10: 00)); or when the available bandwidth capacity is not less than the preset bandwidth capacity threshold, determining that the state parameter of the server meets the pre-pushing condition. Or, when the time indicated by the time parameter is the pre-push time and the available bandwidth capacity of the server is not less than the preset bandwidth capacity threshold, determining that the state parameter of the server meets the pre-push condition. The present invention is not particularly limited in this regard.
In one embodiment, when step S401 is executed by a client, it may be determined that a pre-push trigger event for the client is detected when an input touch operation requesting video push is detected. The touch operation may be input by a user through clicking, pressing, sliding, or voice.
In one embodiment, the client or the server may obtain recommendation reference information, where the recommendation reference information includes: and generating video pushing information according to the pre-pushing rule and the recommendation reference information by the video ranking information and/or the historical playing information acquired according to the user information of the client. The user information may be a user identifier of the user using the client, such as a user account and a user ID; or may be identification information of the client itself, such as an IP address of the client. The video ranking information may be determined by the server by analyzing historical playing data of all videos in the server, or may be determined according to the setting of a developer.
In one embodiment, the pre-push rule may be: and determining the video which is a (a is an integer larger than 0) before the ranking in the video and/or the video which is played in the last c days (c is an integer larger than 0) in the video indicated by the historical playing information as the push video. For such a situation, when the client or the server detects a pre-push trigger event for the client, the client or the server may determine a push video identifier of the push video according to a pre-push rule, and generate video push information by using the video push identifier of the push video.
In one embodiment, the client or the server may further mine interest tags of the user from a large amount of historical behavior data of the user based on the user information by using a data analysis method, for example, the interest tags of the user may include love, thriller, and the like. After the interest tags of the users are determined, the videos which are most likely to be interested by the users can be further calculated, and the videos are ranked to generate the user interest ranking information. In one embodiment, the preset push rule may be to determine a video with the user interest ranking information indicating d (d is an integer greater than 0) before ranking in the video as a push video.
