Video service platform management method and apparatus {METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING VIDEO SERVICE PLATFORM}

It relates to a method and apparatus for managing a video service platform. Specifically, it relates to a method and apparatus for providing an administrator portal system for interlocking management of a video service platform.

The contents described in this part merely provide background information on the present embodiment and do not constitute prior art.

Due to the development of wired and wireless communication technologies, various image service platforms have been implemented in modern times.

In particular, with the development of streaming services, video service platforms are forming an unprecedented economic scale. Major companies are providing their own video service platforms. Even if they do not have their own video service platform, companies that provide video services through video service platforms provided by other companies are increasing.

However, from the point of view of those who want to provide video services through video service platforms provided by other companies, they must use the interface provided by the video service platform owner, so it is necessary to provide video services that reveal the characteristics of the third party system to users of the third party system. There are issues that are difficult to provide.

In certain cases, multitasking and parallel processing can be advantageous. Further, the separation of various system components in the embodiments described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all embodiments, and the program components and systems described may generally be integrated together into a single software product or packaged into multiple software products. You have to understand that you can.

Specific embodiments of the subject matter described herein have been described. Other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims. For example, the actions recited in the claims can be performed in a different order and still achieve desirable results. As an example, the processes depicted in the accompanying drawings do not necessarily require the specific depicted order or sequential order in order to obtain desirable results. In certain implementations, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous.

The present description presents the best mode of the invention and provides examples to illustrate the invention and to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the invention. The specification thus prepared does not limit the invention to the specific terms presented. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above-described examples, a person skilled in the art may make alterations, changes, and modifications to the present examples without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be determined by the described embodiments, but by the claims.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for managing a video service platform, and more particularly, provides an open manager API to a third party system so that the third party system can provide its own service without accessing a service portal, and an open event By using a delivery mechanism, it is possible to provide monitoring for external systems without setting inter-system interworking standards.

Therefore, the present invention can contribute to the development of related industries through the provision of a method and apparatus for managing a video service platform, and has industrial applicability because it is not only sufficiently commercially available or commercially viable, but also realistically and clearly practicable.
