1. A multi-time-zone live broadcast source EPG importing method is characterized by comprising the following steps:
acquiring an EPG to be imported;
acquiring the live broadcast source time of the EPG to be imported, and converting the live broadcast source time into UTC time;
determining a starting time point and an ending time point of each program to be introduced into the EPG;
determining whether conflict live broadcast time exists in each program in the EPG to be led in according to the starting time point and the ending time point of each program in the EPG to be led in and the time offset between the programs;
and if no conflict live broadcast time exists in each program in the EPG to be imported, sending a recording notification of the EPG to be imported so that a streaming media server records the programs in the EPG.
2. The method for importing the multi-time-zone live broadcast source EPG as claimed in claim 1, wherein the determining whether there is a conflict live broadcast time for each program in the EPG to be imported according to a start time point, an end time point and a time offset between programs of each program in the EPG to be imported comprises:
judging whether the live broadcast time of the first program to be introduced into the EPG conflicts with the live broadcast time of the last program in the previous day;
judging whether the live broadcast time of the last program to be introduced into the EPG conflicts with the live broadcast time of the first program in the next day;
and judging whether live broadcast conflicts exist between other programs except the first program and the last program in the EPG to be guided.
3. The EPG importing method of claim 2, further comprising, before determining whether there is a conflicting live broadcast time for each program in the EPG to be imported according to a start time point, an end time point, and a time offset between programs of each program in the EPG to be imported, the method further comprising:
comparing the starting time of the first program to be introduced into the EPG with the UTC time of the current server;
determining whether conflict live broadcast time exists in each program in the EPG to be guided according to the starting time point and the ending time point of each program in the EPG to be guided and the time offset among the programs is as follows: and if the starting time of the first program in the EPG to be imported is later than the UTC time of the current server, determining whether conflict live broadcast time exists in each program in the EPG to be imported according to the starting time point and the ending time point of each program in the EPG to be imported and the time offset among the programs.
4. The method for importing a multi-time-zone live-feed EPG, according to claim 3, further comprising:
and if the starting time of the first program to be introduced into the EPG is not later than the UTC time of the current server, feeding back an error message.
5. The multi-time-zone live-feed EPG import method of any one of claims 2-4, further comprising:
and if the program to be introduced into the EPG has conflict live broadcast time, feeding back conflict information.
6. The multi-time-zone live-feed EPG import method of any one of claims 2-4,
the step of judging whether the live broadcast time of the first program to be introduced into the EPG conflicts with the live broadcast time of the last program in the previous day is as follows: judging whether the ending time point of the last program in the previous day is overranging, if the ending time point of the last program in the previous day is overranging, judging whether the overranging time offset of the last program in the previous day is in conflict with the starting time of the first program in the EPG to be guided;
the step of judging whether the live broadcast time of the last program to be introduced into the EPG conflicts with the live broadcast time of the first program in the next day is as follows: and judging whether the ending time point of the last program to be introduced into the EPG spans the day or not, and if the ending time point of the last program spans the day, judging whether the time offset of the spanning the day conflicts with the starting time of the first program in the next day or not.
7. A multi-time-zone live broadcast source EPG import apparatus, comprising:
the program list acquisition module is used for acquiring the EPG to be imported;
the time acquisition module is used for acquiring the live source time of the EPG to be imported and converting the live source time into UTC time;
a live broadcast time determining module, configured to determine a start time point and an end time point of each program to be imported into the EPG;
the conflict judging module is used for determining whether conflict live broadcast time exists in each program in the EPG to be guided according to the starting time point and the ending time point of each program in the EPG to be guided and the time offset among the programs;
and the program list issuing module is used for sending a recording notice of the EPG to be guided if each program in the EPG to be guided has no conflict live broadcast time so that the streaming media server can record the programs in the EPG.
8. The EPG importing apparatus of claim 7, further comprising:
the time comparison module is used for comparing the starting time of the first program to be introduced into the EPG with the UTC time of the current server;
the conflict judging module determines whether conflict live broadcast time exists in each program in the EPG to be guided according to the starting time point and the ending time point of each program in the EPG to be guided and the time offset among the programs: and when the starting time of the first program in the EPG to be imported is later than the UTC time of the current server, the conflict judging module determines whether conflict live broadcast time exists in each program in the EPG to be imported according to the starting time point and the ending time point of each program in the EPG to be imported and the time offset among the programs.
9. A computer device, comprising: a processor, a memory and a bus, the memory storing machine readable instructions executable by the processor, the processor and the memory communicating over the bus when a computer device is running, the machine readable instructions when executed by the processor performing the multi-time-zone live source EPG import method of any of claims 1 to 6.
10. A computer-readable storage medium, having stored thereon a computer program which, when executed by a processor, performs a method of importing a multi-time-zone live-source EPG as claimed in any of claims 1 to 6.
