1 is a block diagram showing a cloud streaming service system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a cloud streaming service system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cloud streaming server 110, terminal devices 120-1, ..., 120-N, and a network 130. .

The cloud streaming server 110 receives a service request from the user's terminal devices 120-1, ..., 120-N. Since a lot of storage space and processing power are required to run the application in the terminal devices 120-1, ..., 120-N, the driving screen of the application driven in the cloud streaming server 110 is compressed and provided. For this, the cloud streaming server 110 may request a service for running an application.

In addition, the cloud streaming server 110 detects the type of cloud streaming service corresponding to the service request. In this case, by detecting an OPEN command for setting an audio device in the cloud streaming service, it is possible to detect whether the type of the cloud streaming service is a video. In this case, when the OPEN command is detected, it is determined that the video is being played, and the type of cloud streaming service may be detected as a video. At this time, the OPEN command detected when the service request is not received at the initial execution of the application corresponding to the service request is ignored, and the cloud streaming service type is converted to a video when the OPEN command is detected after receiving the service request. Can be detected. In addition, even when the Sound Open function is detected in the process of capturing the application corresponding to the service request, the type of the cloud streaming service can be detected as a video.

In addition, the cloud streaming server 110 gives priority to the cloud streaming service based on the type of the cloud streaming service. In this case, a priority of a cloud streaming service having a video type may be given lower than a priority of a cloud streaming service having a type other than a video.

In addition, the cloud streaming server 110 determines whether a streaming pipeline capable of concurrently processing cloud streaming services in parallel has reached the service simultaneous processing limit, and provides the cloud streaming service according to the priority according to the determination result. to provide. In this case, when the streaming pipeline does not reach the service simultaneous processing limit, the cloud streaming service can be directly provided to the terminal device when a service is requested, regardless of priority. In addition, if the number of cloud streaming services that are simultaneously processed in the streaming pipeline is equal to or greater than a preset number of simultaneous processing, it may be determined that the streaming pipeline has reached a service simultaneous processing limit. In this case, the preset number of simultaneous processing may be smaller than the maximum number of simultaneous processing of cloud streaming services in the streaming pipeline.

The terminal devices 120-1, ..., 120-N receive an application execution result screen corresponding to the cloud streaming service from the cloud streaming server 110 and provide it to the user.

Terminal devices 120-1, ..., 120-N are devices that are connected to a communication network and can execute applications based on a cloud computing system, and are not limited to mobile communication terminals, and all information and communication devices and multimedia terminals , A wired terminal, a fixed terminal, and an Internet Protocol (IP) terminal. In addition, the terminal devices 120-1, ..., 120-N are mobile phones, portable multimedia players (PMPs), mobile internet devices (MIDs), smart phones, desktops, and tablet computers, respectively.

It may be different from a network used for each other, or may be the same.

2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a cloud streaming server shown in FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, the cloud streaming server 110 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a receiving unit 210, a service type detecting unit 220, a service priority setting unit 230, and a service providing unit 240.

The receiver 210 receives a service request from a user's terminal device. In order to run an application in the terminal device, the terminal device may require a large amount of storage space and high processing power. Accordingly, after running the application in the cloud streaming server 110, the cloud streaming server 110 may request a service for executing the application in order to receive the compressed driving screen of the application.

The service type detection unit 220 detects the type of cloud streaming service corresponding to the service request. Among the services requested by the cloud streaming server 110, there is a type that responds immediately upon receiving a service request to provide a service, while a type that does not immediately respond even when a service request is received may exist. For example, in the case of games, when a service request is received from a user, the service must be provided immediately, and in the case of playing a video on YouTube, the processing order of the service can be adjusted as long as the setting FPS (frame per second) can be met. There may be room for lowering. Therefore, it is possible to more smoothly operate the cloud streaming server by scheduling the order of processing the service according to the type of cloud streaming service.

In this case, by detecting an OPEN command for setting an audio device in the cloud streaming service, it is possible to detect whether the type of the cloud streaming service is a video. Video may include audio along with video, and in order to support audio in video, it is necessary to set up a device that supports audio. Therefore, you can set a device that supports audio by using commands such as OPEN and CLOSE. For example, by calling and setting a Media Control Interface (MCI) device that supports audio and video playback through the OPEN command and ending the configuration through the CLOSE command, a video file corresponding to the configuration of the MCI device can be played. Therefore, it may be possible to check whether the type of the cloud streaming service is a video through the detection of an OPEN command for setting an audio device.

In this case, when the OPEN command is detected, it is determined that the video is being played, and the type of cloud streaming service may be detected as a video. For example, if an OPEN command for setting an audio device in a specific cloud streaming service is detected, it may be determined that the type of the cloud streaming service is a video file containing audio.

At this time, the OPEN command detected when the service request is not received at the initial execution of the application corresponding to the service request is ignored, and the cloud streaming service type is converted to a video when the OPEN command is detected after receiving the service request. Can be detected. For example, even if the type of cloud streaming service is a game, an OPEN command for setting an audio device may be detected at the beginning of application execution. The detection method according to the present invention is an OPEN command detected after receiving a service request from a user. For commands only, it can be used to detect the type of cloud streaming service as a video. Accordingly, the OPEN command detected when a service request from a user is not received at the initial stage of application execution may be ignored for detecting the type of cloud streaming service.

In addition, even if the cloud streaming service type is game, if an OPEN command to support the audio device is detected after running the application and receiving a service request from the user, the cloud streaming service type is converted to a video for the service request. It can be detected and processed.

In this case, when the Sound Open function is detected in the process of capturing the application corresponding to the service request, the type of the cloud streaming service may be detected as a video. For example, an application provided through a cloud streaming service may be automatically detected whether or not an application is playing a video because it is not produced for cloud streaming. In this case, after the user generates a click event for a service request from the terminal device, the cloud streaming server 110 may detect whether the Sound Open function exists in the process of capturing the application. When the Sound Open function is detected, the type of the cloud streaming service can be classified as a video.

The service priority setting unit 230 gives priority to the cloud streaming service based on the type of the cloud streaming service. As described above, the service requested to the cloud streaming server 110 includes a type of game that must react immediately upon receiving a service request, and a video that can delay processing to some extent until the actual service is provided even when a service request is received. The same type can exist. Therefore, according to the type of service, cloud streaming services that need to be processed immediately are given high priority, and cloud streaming services that do not need to be processed immediately are given a lower priority. It can provide seamless cloud streaming service.

In this case, a priority of a cloud streaming service having a video type may be given lower than a priority of a cloud streaming service having a type other than a video. For example, a cloud streaming service of a type such as a game can provide a service to users more quickly by giving a higher priority than a video.

The service provider 240 determines whether a streaming pipeline capable of concurrently processing cloud streaming services in parallel has reached the service simultaneous processing limit, and provides a cloud streaming service according to the priority according to the determination result. .

A pipeline is a data processing process that can be used by optimizing the central processing unit of a computer, and is a method in which one processor is divided into several subprocessors with different functions, and each subprocessor processes different data at the same time. For example, computer instructions generally go through four stages of retrieval, analysis, content retrieval, and execution. If the pipeline method is not applied, the computer processor has no choice but to process the instructions one by one in the order in which they are input. However, in the pipeline method, instructions can be processed in parallel, which can speed up processing. Accordingly, by applying such a pipeline to the cloud streaming server 110 to process the cloud streaming service in parallel step by step, the service speed of the cloud streaming server 110 may be improved.

Even in such a streaming pipeline, there is a limitation in that the service can be processed at the same time, and if the service processing is performed to exceed this limit, the performance of the corresponding processing section may be degraded or a bottleneck may occur. Therefore, if a bottleneck occurs, the efficiency of the entire system can be degraded. Therefore, if the streaming pipeline is expected to reach the service simultaneous processing limit, the number of cloud streaming services to be processed can be reduced to prevent the bottleneck. . In this case, it is possible to reduce the number of services to be processed immediately by using the priority given to the cloud streaming service.

In this case, when the streaming pipeline does not reach the service simultaneous processing limit, regardless of the priority, the cloud streaming service can be provided directly to the terminal device when a service is requested. Even if the priority of the cloud streaming service received by the user is low, if there is enough room to process the service in the streaming pipeline, the service can be provided by immediately processing it according to the priority without delaying the processing.

In this case, if the number of cloud streaming services that are simultaneously processed by the streaming pipeline is equal to or greater than a preset number of simultaneous processing, it may be determined that the streaming pipeline has reached the service simultaneous processing limit.

In this case, the preset number of simultaneous processing may be smaller than the maximum number of simultaneous processing of cloud streaming services in the streaming pipeline. For example, if the reference value for predicting the limit of the streaming pipeline is set to the maximum number that can simultaneously process cloud streaming services in the streaming pipeline, a bottleneck may occur simultaneously with the prediction. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the bottleneck from occurring simultaneously with prediction by setting a preset number of simultaneous processing, which is a reference value for predicting the bottleneck, less than the maximum number that can simultaneously process cloud streaming services in the streaming pipeline. In addition, the preset number of simultaneous processing may be freely set by the administrator of the cloud streaming server 110.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a service processing method according to a cloud streaming service type according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a service processing method according to a cloud streaming service type according to an embodiment of the present invention receives a service request from a user terminal device (S310). In order to run an application in the terminal device, the terminal device may require a large amount of storage space and high processing power. Accordingly, after running the application in the cloud streaming server, in order to receive the compressed driving screen of the application, a service for executing the application may be requested from the cloud streaming server.

In addition, the service processing method according to the cloud streaming service type according to an embodiment of the present invention detects the type of cloud streaming service corresponding to the service request (S320). Among the services requested by the cloud streaming server, there are types that respond immediately upon receiving a service request to provide a service, while there may be types that do not require immediate response even when a service request is received. For example, in the case of games, when a service request is received from a user, the service must be provided immediately, and in the case of playing a video on YouTube, the processing order of the service can be adjusted as long as the setting FPS (frame per second) can be met. There may be room for lowering. Therefore, it is possible to more smoothly operate the cloud streaming server by scheduling the order of processing the service according to the type of cloud streaming service.

In this case, by detecting an OPEN command for setting an audio device in the cloud streaming service, it is possible to detect whether the type of the cloud streaming service is a video. Video may include audio along with video, and in order to support audio in video, it is necessary to set up a device that supports audio. Therefore, you can set a device that supports audio by using commands such as OPEN and CLOSE. For example, by calling and setting a Media Control Interface (MCI) device that supports audio and video playback through the OPEN command and ending the configuration through the CLOSE command, a video file corresponding to the configuration of the MCI device can be played. Therefore, it may be possible to check whether the type of the cloud streaming service is a video through the detection of an OPEN command for setting an audio device.

In this case, when the OPEN command is detected, it is determined that the video is being played, and the type of cloud streaming service may be detected as a video. For example, if an OPEN command for setting an audio device in a specific cloud streaming service is detected, it may be determined that the type of the cloud streaming service is a video file containing audio.

At this time, the OPEN command detected when the service request is not received at the initial execution of the application corresponding to the service request is ignored, and the cloud streaming service type is converted to a video when the OPEN command is detected after receiving the service request. Can be detected. For example, even if the type of cloud streaming service is a game, an OPEN command for setting an audio device may be detected at the beginning of application execution. The detection method according to the present invention is an OPEN command detected after receiving a service request from a user. For commands only, it can be used to detect the type of cloud streaming service as a video. Accordingly, the OPEN command detected when a service request from a user is not received at the initial stage of application execution may be ignored for detecting the type of cloud streaming service.

In addition, even if the cloud streaming service type is game, if an OPEN command to support the audio device is detected after running the application and receiving a service request from the user, the cloud streaming service type is converted to a video for the service request. It can be detected and processed.

In this case, when the Sound Open function is detected in the process of capturing the application corresponding to the service request, the type of the cloud streaming service may be detected as a video. For example, an application provided through a cloud streaming service may be automatically detected whether or not an application is playing a video because it is not produced for cloud streaming. In this case, after the user generates a click event for a service request from the terminal device, it is possible to detect whether the Sound Open function exists in the process of capturing the application in the cloud streaming server. When the Sound Open function is detected, the type of the cloud streaming service can be classified as a video.

In addition, the service processing method according to the cloud streaming service type according to an embodiment of the present invention gives priority to the cloud streaming service based on the cloud streaming service type (S330). As described above, the service requested to the cloud streaming server has a type such as a game that must react immediately upon receiving a service request, and a type such as a video that can delay processing to some extent until the actual service is provided even when a service request is received. Can exist. Therefore, according to the type of service, cloud streaming services that need to be processed immediately are given high priority, and cloud streaming services that do not need to be processed immediately are given a lower priority. It can provide seamless cloud streaming service.

In this case, a priority of a cloud streaming service having a video type may be given lower than a priority of a cloud streaming service having a type other than a video. For example, a cloud streaming service of a type such as a game can provide a service to users more quickly by giving a higher priority than a video.

In addition, the service processing method according to the cloud streaming service type according to an embodiment of the present invention determines whether a streaming pipeline capable of concurrently processing cloud streaming services in parallel has reached the service simultaneous processing limit, and the determination result In accordance with the priority, a cloud streaming service is provided (S340).

A pipeline is a data processing process that can be used by optimizing the central processing unit of a computer, and is a method in which one processor is divided into several subprocessors with different functions, and each subprocessor processes different data at the same time. For example, computer instructions generally go through four stages of retrieval, analysis, content retrieval, and execution. If the pipeline method is not applied, the computer processor has no choice but to process the instructions one by one in the order in which they are input. However, in the pipeline method, instructions can be processed in parallel, which can speed up processing. Therefore, it is possible to improve the service speed of the cloud streaming server by applying such a pipeline to the cloud streaming server to process the cloud streaming service in parallel step by step.

Even in such a streaming pipeline, there is a limitation in that the service can be processed at the same time, and if the service processing is performed to exceed this limit, the performance of the corresponding processing section may be degraded or a bottleneck may occur. Therefore, if a bottleneck occurs, the efficiency of the entire system can be degraded. Therefore, if the streaming pipeline is expected to reach the service simultaneous processing limit, the number of cloud streaming services to be processed can be reduced to prevent the bottleneck. . In this case, it is possible to reduce the number of services to be processed immediately by using the priority given to the cloud streaming service.

In this case, when the streaming pipeline does not reach the service simultaneous processing limit, regardless of the priority, the cloud streaming service can be directly provided to the terminal device when a service is requested. Even if the priority of the cloud streaming service received by the user is low, if there is enough room to process the service in the streaming pipeline, the service can be provided by immediately processing it according to the priority without delaying the processing.

In this case, if the number of cloud streaming services that are simultaneously processed by the streaming pipeline is equal to or greater than a preset number of simultaneous processing, it may be determined that the streaming pipeline has reached the service simultaneous processing limit.

In this case, the preset number of simultaneous processing may be smaller than the maximum number of simultaneous processing of cloud streaming services in the streaming pipeline. For example, if the reference value for predicting the limit of the streaming pipeline is set to the maximum number that can simultaneously process cloud streaming services in the streaming pipeline, a bottleneck may occur simultaneously with the prediction. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the bottleneck from occurring simultaneously with prediction by setting a preset number of simultaneous processing, which is a reference value for predicting the bottleneck, less than the maximum number that can simultaneously process cloud streaming services in the streaming pipeline. In addition, the preset number of simultaneous processing can be freely set by the administrator of the cloud streaming server.

The cloud streaming server determines whether an OPEN command for setting an audio device is detected in order to determine whether the cloud streaming service corresponding to the user's service request is a video (S425).

If the OPEN command is not detected as a result of the determination in step S425, it is detected that the type of the cloud streaming service is not a video (S430).

If the OPEN command is detected as a result of the determination in step S425, the type of the cloud streaming service is detected as a video (S440).

After that, the cloud streaming server gives priority according to the detected type of cloud streaming service (S450).
