Abstract
A control method of a streaming service server is disclosed. The control method includes the steps of receiving a first quality segment of a plurality of quality segments for a specific content from a user terminal device and, when the requested first quality is not the lowest quality, And controlling to provide a streaming service based on whether or not a session is formed for the user.
Description
The present invention relates to a streaming service server and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a streaming service server capable of providing a stable dynamic adaptive streaming service and a control method thereof.
In recent years, users' satisfaction has increased due to the increase of the internet speed, that is, the transmission bandwidth (which means that the amount of data to be transmitted is increased). Such rapid development of the Internet related technology, the Internet has become possible to view and listen to the combined multimedia of videos through on-line search. His representative is the multimedia streaming service.
In this case, streaming is performed in such a manner that audio data or video data (moving image data) having a large size are not entirely downloaded and executed but are transmitted in real time in succession to a plurality of files.
In order to listen to or display such audio files or video files in a streaming format, various application software must be embedded in the client (or user) terminal device. In other words, for audio streaming / video streaming, an audio streaming application such as a real audio player or a multimedia streaming application such as a windows media player should be embedded.
Such a streaming application is a multimedia plug-in that supports audio / video streaming in real time in real time, and is an additional application program that can operate based on a web browser.
Examples of the services that can be supported through the above-mentioned multimedia streaming include real-time broadcast service such as sports, news, live concerts, etc., Video On Demand (VOD) Many internet service businesses such as movie theaters are emerging one after another.
Streaming service is influenced by network bandwidth, which is the biggest disadvantage. Since it requires a more powerful PC, it has a limit of limited service. Recently, however, Internet access lines are expanding rapidly and PCs are becoming more sophisticated. This problem is gradually disappearing.
In addition, it is necessary to develop an adaptive streaming technology capable of providing contents of appropriate quality in a flexible network environment in order to secure such a shortcoming. A representative service of this technology is the MPEG DASH service.
MPEG DASH is an adaptive video streaming technology using HTTP standardized by MPEG. The basic components of DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) technology are MPD and segment. MPD (Media Presentation Description) is data in XML format for providing information on media for the purpose of providing a streaming service, and a segment refers to a data unit of the smallest unit capable of representing media data in the MPD. DASH technology is constructed based on the structure that MPD and segment are transmitted from the HTTP server to the user terminal device.
However, it is difficult to provide high-quality streaming service to all users requesting high-quality streaming service in a limited network environment. Therefore, there is a need for a technology that can provide continuous streaming service to the user even if quality is deteriorated.
In addition, because the criteria for analyzing MPD differs for each MPEG DASH Player of Client, there is a delay depending on the network condition or it is difficult to stably guarantee the data loss rate.
In recent years, Scalable Video Coding (SVC) has been developed which supports spatial, image quality (SNR) and temporal scalability with a goal of high coding efficiency compared to the independent coding scheme. The SVC decodes only the highest layer to be decoded, and the lower layers employ a single loop decoding method that decodes only the minimum information required for inter-layer prediction, thereby reducing the amount of computation and memory usage.
In other words, in order to stream the UHD-like highest quality SVC composed of a plurality of layers including Base Layer, Enhancement Layer 1, and Enhancement Layer 2, not only the highest quality Enhancement Layer 2 but also Base Layer, Enhancement Layer 1, in need. Using this SVC, the streaming server has higher cache efficiency, so it can be more effective for data transmission than non-scalable.
However, if the base layer of the lowest quality is not ensured due to the characteristics of the SVC, even if the enhancement layers are transmitted, a normal screen can not be reproduced.
