Detailed Description

In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the following description of the embodiments accompanied with the accompanying drawings will be given in detail. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

In the first embodiment of the present application, it should be understood that, first, the ground fusion of the video synchronous playing in the actual application scene starts to the advertisement industry, in numerous video playing scenes such as an exhibition hall and a demonstration hall, a plurality of playing devices are usually used to synchronously play the same media file, so as to perform content transmission, sometimes, the same content needs to be played through a plurality of screens to achieve a carry-forward effect, sometimes, a splicing effect needs to be achieved in different areas of different screen display videos, but the above situations all need to achieve accurate video synchronization among a plurality of playing devices, otherwise, even if the difference of one frame is captured by a human eye, so that the user obtains the conclusion that the playing frames are not synchronized, so as to affect the viewing experience of the user, therefore, the video playing synchronization is usually achieved by setting a master-slave relationship among the playing devices, however, once the network state is poor or the situation of network blocking occurs, the video synchronization effect will be very poor, and the playing progress of the slave devices will always be slower than the master device, when the number of slave devices increases, and when the slave devices receive the message time is different, and the video synchronization effect is still poor in the video playing synchronization effect between the different playing devices.

An embodiment of the present application provides a video playing method, applied to a video playing synchronization system, where the video playing synchronization system includes a target playing device, at least one synchronous playing device and a synchronous standard device, where the synchronous standard device is used to provide a standard time and a synchronous playing time point, each synchronous playing device is a playing device that has received the synchronous playing time point, and the target playing device and each synchronous playing device are both located at the standard time, and in an embodiment of the video playing method of the present application, referring to fig. 1, the video playing method includes:

step S10, after the target playing device receives a video to be played, a synchronous playing request is sent to the synchronous standard device through the target playing device;

in this embodiment, it should be noted that, the video playing synchronization system is used to implement video playing synchronization between different playing devices, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the video playing system, where the video playing synchronization system includes a target playing device 11, a synchronous playing device 12 and a synchronous standard device 13, the target playing device is a playing device that does not receive a synchronous playing time point in the video playing synchronization system, specifically may be a playing device newly joining a multicast local area network, or may be a playing device that does not receive a synchronous playing time point after joining a multicast local area network, the synchronous playing device is a playing device that has received a synchronous playing time point in the video playing synchronization system, and is used to play a video to be played in synchronization with the target playing device, and the synchronous standard device is used to provide a standard time and a synchronous playing time point, the target playing device, the synchronous playing device and the synchronous standard device may be a computer or a personal PC, where the standard time is the clock running time of the synchronous standard device, the synchronous playing time point is a time point of synchronously playing the video to be played, the synchronous standard device is provided with a playing synchronization protocol, the synchronous playing time point can be obtained by playing the synchronization protocol, the video to be played is used to characterize the video file waiting to be played, for example, in one implementation manner, it is assumed that the video playing synchronization system includes a target playing device a, a synchronous playing device B, a synchronous playing device C and a synchronous standard device D, where the clock running time point of the synchronous standard device D is 14:22:01, and since both A, B and C are in standard time, the time of A, B and C are the same as the clock running time point of the synchronous standard device, so a, the clock running time of the B and C at the current time step is 14:22:01, assuming that the synchronous playing time point generated by playing the synchronous protocol is 15:30:00, the A, B and C play the video to be played at 15:30:00, wherein at the beginning of the A, B and C powering on, the clock running time and the synchronous standard have a difference, for example, when the clock running time of the synchronous standard device D is 08:15:00, it is assumed that A, B and C are both powered on at this time, the clock running time of a is 08:14:59, the clock running time of B is 08:15:01, the clock running time of C is 08:15:02, and the clock running times of A, B and C are both adjusted to be consistent with the clock running time of the synchronous standard device.

In addition, it should be noted that, in the video playing system, the playing device (the target playing device or the synchronous playing device) for synchronously playing the video to be played will request the standard time from the synchronous standard device after the video playing system is started, so that the target playing device and the synchronous playing device are both in standard time before synchronously playing the video to be played, thereby avoiding the technical defect that different frame of the video to be played at the synchronous playing time point has different starting time points, for example, in an implementable mode, the synchronous standard device is provided with an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server, and after the different synchronous playing devices are started, the NTP time is requested from the synchronous standard device, so that the NTP time is used as the standard time (time axis), and the synchronous playing time point is searched by referring to the NTP time, so as to synchronously play the video to be played, wherein the NTP server has the characteristic of low time delay, when different clients (the target playing device or the synchronous playing device) access the NTP server, the different client can have microsecond time delay of different levels, and the NTP server can support different clients and have different NTP service levels, and simultaneously have the same time errors, so that the different clients can have the same time errors, and the NTP can have the same time error, and the service error is also can have the minimum.

In addition, it should be noted that, there are various receiving manners of the video to be played, for example, the receiving manner is issued by a signaling system, or the video to be played is transmitted by a third party device, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present application, the target playing device and at least one synchronous playing device are both in communication connection with the synchronous standard device, so as to perform communication message interaction, the synchronous playing request is used to characterize a request for joining in to perform synchronous playing of the video to be played, the target playing device may send the synchronous playing request to the synchronous standard device at a first time point after receiving the video to be played, or may send the synchronous playing request to the synchronous standard device at a preset time point after receiving the video to be played, since the speed of recognizing the continuous image frame of the video by human eyes is 24 frames/second, that is, approximately, every 40 milliseconds is recognized, the time consumed by refreshing a frame of the playing device on the screen can be known by combining with the resolution of the playing device, for example, if the resolution of the playing device is 60Hz, the frame of image data can be refreshed on the screen, so that in 16.66 milliseconds, if the playing device to be ready to play the video to be played under a certain video strategy, the video frame can be perceived by the user can not feel that the user is required to have the situation that the device is crossing the video frame.

As an example, step S10 includes: and sending a video to be played to the target playing device through a signaling system, and sending a synchronous playing request to the synchronous standard device through the target playing device at the current time point of the target playing device after the target playing device receives the video to be played.

Step S20, the synchronous playing time point is issued to the target playing device through the synchronous standard device according to the synchronous playing request;

in this embodiment, it should be noted that, because the standard time is the current time of different playing devices in the video playing synchronization system, and the synchronized playing time point is the time point when the target playing device and the synchronized playing device synchronously play the video to be played, and the target playing device needs to play the video to be played after the synchronized playing time point through requesting, the synchronized playing time point is later than the standard time, and before the synchronized standard device receives the synchronized playing request sent by the target playing device, the synchronized playing time point is issued to at least one synchronized playing device, for single playing of the video to be played, the purpose of playing the video synchronously across devices can be achieved only by making all the playing devices playing the video to be played play the video at the same synchronized playing time point.

As an example, step S20 includes: inquiring a synchronous playing time point corresponding to the synchronous playing request through the synchronous standard equipment according to the synchronous playing request, and issuing the synchronous playing time point to the target playing equipment through the synchronous standard equipment.

The step of issuing the synchronous playing time point to the target playing device according to the synchronous playing request by the synchronous standard device comprises the following steps:

step A10, after the synchronous standard equipment receives the synchronous playing request, acquiring the video playing time length of the video to be played;

step A20, determining a video switching time point of the target playing device in a preset playing period according to the video playing time length;

step A30, acquiring a synchronous playing time point of the synchronous standard equipment at the video switching time point;

and step A40, transmitting the synchronous playing time point to the target playing device through the synchronous standard device.

In this embodiment, it should be noted that in some video synchronous playing scenarios, it is generally required to play the video to be played in a circulating manner within a preset playing period, which causes a switching time slot to exist between different circulating playing times for the video to be played, for example, assuming that the video playing duration of the video to be played is 1 hour, the preset playing period is 8 am to 8 pm, then the video to be played is played in a circulating manner 12 times, so that the viewing experience of the user is not affected when the video to be played is switched, at a video switching time point, where the video switching time point is used to represent the playing time point of a playing key frame of the video to be played, the playing key frame may be specifically set by the user according to the requirement, for example, in one practical manner, it is assumed that the target playing device and the synchronous playing device play the video to be played at 18:00:05, the video to be played has a duration of 1 minute, image frames 5 seconds before the end of the video to be played are all synchronous playing time points, and the video switching time point is 18:00:05 and 18:01:05: 01:00.

As an example, steps a10 to a40 include: after the synchronous standard equipment receives the synchronous playing request, acquiring the video playing time length of the video to be played, wherein the video playing time length can be specifically 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes or the like; obtaining a video switching time point of the target playing device in a preset playing period by calculating the ratio of the preset playing period to the video playing time length; acquiring a synchronous playing time point of the synchronous standard equipment at the video switching time point; and sending the synchronous playing time point to the target playing device through the synchronous standard device.

In an embodiment, when the target playing device is under the standard time provided by the NTP server, the video playing duration is taken as a step length from the 0 point, the device to be played is scheduled in a preset playing period, the current position of the video to be played, which should be played at the current time point, is calculated, and the target playing device is set to perform cyclic playing of the video to be played by taking the current time point as a reference, wherein a specific mode of calculation may be a mode of dividing the preset playing period by the video playing duration.

The step of determining the video switching time point of the target playing device in the preset playing time period according to the video playing time length includes:

step B10, according to the video playing time length and the preset playing time period, carrying out carousel sequencing on the video to be played to obtain a carousel switching time point;

and step B20, taking the carousel switching time point as the video switching time point.

In this embodiment, it should be noted that, in a portion of a video playing scene, the content played in the preset playing period is not always repeatedly played in a circulating manner, that is, the video to be played includes a plurality of different video files, so as to achieve the noninductive switching of playing between the different video files, the video display time of the different video files in the preset playing period can be calculated, the video display time of each video file is ordered and stored according to the time sequence, the switching time point between the different video files needs to be hidden, so as to achieve the smooth transition of video switching, for example, in an implementation manner, the last 2 seconds of playing of the previous video file can be started by opening up a thread, when the video file is switched to the main interface of the playing device at the time of the carousel switching time point of the video file, seamless connection is finally achieved between the video files, wherein the carousel switching time point is used for representing the video file switching time point of different video files of the video to be played in carousel, and the carousel sequence of the video files is set by a user according to the requirement, for example, in an implementation mode, assuming that the preset playing period is 5 hours from 1 pm to 6 pm, the video to be played comprises a 5-minute video file a, a 6-minute video file b and a 4-minute video file, the carousel sequence can be the sequence of performing cyclic carousel in the modes of 'a, c and b', or the sequence of performing cyclic carousel in the modes of 'a, c, b, b, c and a'.

Additionally, it should be noted that, the principles of video switching between different video files of a video to be played can be referred to as follows: when the last video file to be played is finished, keeping the original encoder instance to continue to run, starting a new encoder instance, synchronizing the frame numbers of the current video file of the video to be played and the last video file of the video to be played, selecting a key frame from the current video file, starting to transmit the current video file to the target playing device from the key frame, finishing the transmission of the last frame data of the key frame by the last video file, and switching the interval between the frame number of the key frame and the frame number of the key frame of the last video file to be more than half the length of a GOP (Group of pictures) of the current video file, then closing the original encoder instance, for example, in an implementable mode, if two video files exist in the video to be played, keeping the first video file to continue to run, starting a new encoder instance according to a time node, synchronizing the video streams of the first video file and the second video file, enabling the frame numbers in the two video files to correspond to each other after the transmission of the last frame data of the key frame, selecting the first video file and the frame number of the key frame number of the second video file to be more than half the length of the first video file, switching the frame number of the key frame number from the first video file to the last video file to be finished, and finishing the transmission of the key frame data of the key frame number of the key file to be finished, and switching the key frame number of the key frame number to be completely coded by the first video file to be completely.

As an example, steps B10 to B20 include: calculating file display time lengths of different video files of the video to be played according to the video playing time lengths, and performing carousel sequencing on the different video files according to the file display time lengths and the preset playing time period to obtain carousel switching time points; and taking the carousel switching time point as the video switching time point.

Step S30, synchronously playing the video to be played through the target playing device and each synchronous playing device at the synchronous playing time point;

in this embodiment, it should be noted that, for a playing device for playing a video to be played synchronously in a video playing synchronous system, after a request is made to a standard Time and a synchronous playing Time point, the playing device takes a Time difference for the current Time point and the synchronous playing Time point under the standard Time, and sets a high-precision timer to fix a point to play the video to be played at the synchronous playing Time point, where the high-precision timer is a special area in an ARM SOC hardware system, and may be powered by a separate circuit, and provides a pulse through a separate crystal oscillator, and timely dormancy is not exceptional, i.e., the RTC (real_time Clock) counts the crystal oscillator pulses continuously, so that the playing device is used for long-Time timing, and has the function of waking up a processor.

As an example, step S30 includes: detecting whether a synchronous playing time point is reached or not through the real-time clocks of the target playing device and the synchronous playing devices, and synchronously playing the video to be played through the target playing device and the synchronous playing devices when the synchronous playing time point is reached.

The step of sending the synchronous playing time point to the target playing device through the synchronous standard device comprises the following steps:

step C10, detecting whether the target playing device is a device to be synchronously played or not according to the device identifier carried by the target playing device;

step C20, if yes, taking the synchronous playing timing point which corresponds to the synchronous playing equipment together as the synchronous playing time point; transmitting the synchronous playing time point to the target playing equipment;

and step C30, if not, sending the synchronous playing time point to the target playing equipment.

In this embodiment, it should be noted that, for the target playing device, there may be two different situations in which the target playing device performs video synchronous playing, firstly, it is synchronized with other synchronous playing devices to a synchronous playing time point to perform playing of the video to be played, and secondly, it is synchronized to a synchronous playing time point to which other synchronous playing videos have been synchronized, so that the target playing device may be divided into a synchronized playing device and a to-be-synchronized playing device, the synchronized playing device is used for characterizing that the playing device to be played has been synchronized with the synchronized playing device, the to-be-synchronized playing device is used for characterizing that the playing device waiting for performing synchronous playing of the video to be played, the device identifier may be a device machine code or a device number, etc., and the synchronous playing timing point is used for characterizing that the other synchronous playing devices have timed playing of the video to be played.

As an example, steps C10 to C30 include: acquiring a device identifier carried by the target playing device, and determining whether the target playing device is a device to be synchronized according to the device identifier; if the target playing device is determined to be the device to be synchronized, acquiring timing points of the video to be played, which are timed by each synchronized playing device, and taking the timing points as the synchronized playing time points; transmitting the synchronous playing time point to the target playing equipment; and if the target playing device is not the device to be synchronized, sending the synchronous playing time point to the target playing device so that the target playing device and each synchronous playing device synchronously play the video to be played at the synchronous playing time point.

The video playing method further comprises the following steps:

step D10, when the starting-up time point of the first playing device is detected to be earlier than the starting-up time point of the second playing device under the standard time, determining a first current playing time point of the first playing device according to a time difference value between the standard time point corresponding to the standard time and the synchronous playing time point; synchronizing the second playing device to the first current playing time point for playing; or alternatively, the first and second heat exchangers may be,

Step D20, when the start-up time point of the first playing device is detected to be later than the start-up time point of the second playing device under the standard time, determining a second current playing time point of the second playing device according to a time difference value between the standard time and the synchronous playing time point; and synchronizing the first playing device to the second current playing time point for playing.

In this embodiment, it should be noted that, due to the influence of time environment, there is a difference in performance of different playing devices in the video playing synchronization system, so that when the video to be played is played by the different playing devices after being started, the situation of unsynchronization is easy to occur, that is, the playing progress of the playing device after being started is behind the playing device started before that, so that when the different playing devices are all under standard time, by determining the starting sequence between the playing devices, the playing device after being started is synchronized to the playing time point of the playing device started before that for playing, where the synchronization is specifically implemented by playing seek (review and fast forward), and the principles of seek playing are as follows: the video to be played consists of one frame of image, so that the encoding is also to encode different video image frames of the video to be played, the image is usually composed of three primary colors of RGB (Red, green and Blue), but RGB is not very friendly to encoding, so that YUV (Luminance-Bandwidth-Chrominance) is usually used, wherein Y represents Luminance, UV represents color space, human eyes are sensitive to Luminance information and slightly weak to Chrominance information, so that the image is differently encoded, key frames of a certain time are obtained through decoding, the key frame interval is relatively small when a video source is reliable, and the frame interval is relatively large, so that the frame can be taken directly from seek to a corresponding time point.

Additionally, it should be noted that, the first current playing time point and the second current playing time point are both subordinate to the current playing time point, where the current playing time point is used to represent the current playing precision of playing the video to be played, the first playing device and the second playing device are different playing devices in the video playing synchronization system, and may specifically be a target playing device or a certain synchronous playing device in each synchronous playing device, for example, in an implementation manner, the first playing device is a target playing device X, the second playing device is a synchronous playing device Y in each synchronous playing device, where the time required for starting up the synchronous playing device Y is 17 seconds, the time required for starting up the target playing device X is 18 seconds, that is, the starting up time point of X is later than the starting up time point of Y, in order to avoid that video playing caused by the starting up time is asynchronous, and the playing time point seek of the target playing device X to the playing time point of the synchronous playing device Y is the current time point under the standard time.

As an example, steps D10 to D20 include: respectively acquiring a first starting time point of the first playing device and a second starting time point of the second playing device under the standard time, calculating a first time difference value between a current time point under the standard time and the synchronous playing time point when the first starting time point is detected to be earlier than the second starting time point, and obtaining a first current playing time point of the first playing device by calculating a ratio of the first time difference value to the video playing time length of the video to be played; synchronizing the second playing device to the first current playing time point for playing; or alternatively, the first and second heat exchangers may be,

Respectively acquiring a third starting time point of the target playing device and a fourth starting time point of the synchronous playing device under the standard time, calculating a second time difference value between a current time point under the standard time and the synchronous playing time point when the third starting time point is detected and the fourth starting time point is detected, and obtaining a second current playing time point of the second playing device by calculating a ratio of the second time difference value to the video playing time length of the video to be played; and synchronizing the first playing synchronization device to the second current playing time point for playing.

In one embodiment, assuming that the playback device M and the playback device N in the video playback synchronization system are synchronizing, the playback device O is first synchronized to a standard time point of the playback device M and the playback device N when the playback device O is just turned onAnd receiving synchronous play time point issued by synchronous standard equipment>The time difference is +.>The time difference divided by the video playing time length of the video to be played is the current playing time point of the video to be played, for example, assuming that the video playing time length is 5 minutes and the remainder is 3.14, the 3:14 is the current playing time point.
