At the same time, it is necessary to let dozens of people, hundreds of people or even tens of thousands of people watch videos on the Internet at the same time. In addition to the bandwidth limitation of the network, the use of the storage device (7◦) mechanical hard disk to complete this work is - Very severe test, the delay or the situation of crashing is often inevitable, which seriously affects the quality of viewing. Most of the current improvement methods are to provide a very high-order mechanical hard in the storage device (70). Dish, but this method requires a very high cost, and can not completely solve the system bottleneck problem. What's more, the traditional server and storage device used in this method is difficult to achieve widespread deployment due to its high cost and complicated transportation. Service use The goal is to easily generate traffic that should be avoided on the long-distance backbone of the network. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a reasonable cost and smoother transmission of a movie to enhance viewers' viewing. The playback system and method of the quality film and television program. The step of playing the film and television program is as follows: the user uses the user terminal device to select the movie to be watched through the network to browse the play menu of the portal platform. The at least one storage device and the at least one temporary server group can be managed, and whether the movie has been clicked and stored in the temporary storage port 337309 is stored in the memory medium as a storage medium. If the temporary storage computer directly provides the video through the network, it is searched for whether there is a temporary storage computer in the temporary storage device group. If yes, the portal platform is from the database. Find the video that the user clicked on and indicate the memory: The completed temporary storage computer is extracted from the storage device into its memory, and then the network is provided for the use. Old. If "°. No", the portal will look for the temporary storage === whether there is an idle temporary storage computer. If "Yes", delete the idle = temporary storage of the movie, and the storage platform will be stored by the portal. Equipment, find out the video that the user has requested and instruct the temporary storage computer to extract it into the reader, and then provide it to the user through the network. For example, if the user is located in the database of the storage device, The video 2 that is ordered is directly provided to the user, and a "temporary storage full busy" flag is generated in the system to remind the system administrator.

Moreover, the storage device can temporarily store the video that the user clicks on the temporary storage computer of the temporary storage server group, so that the memory of the temporary storage money has a fast storage and retrieval speed and can provide multiple people. At the same time, it does not affect the speed, so that the video transmission can be smoothed by a large number of users without delay, thereby improving the quality and quality. Furthermore, by using the temporary storage function of the temporary storage material, the storage device can prevent the transmission of the video from being delayed without using a very high-order hardware device, thereby reducing the cost. [Embodiment] Please refer to the first figure to indicate that the player of the movie program of the present invention 8 丄 337309 method has the following steps: a. The user can use the user terminal device to route an entry menu through the network. Click on the video you want to watch; 堑2 ° Xuan entrance platform will judge whether the film has been on-demand and stored in a brain; in the server group, the memory is used as a storage medium - a temporary storage: this direct The movie is empty: temporarily looking for whether there is memory in the temporary carrier group, then the video of the storage device is found in a storage device database and temporarily stored in the memory is empty. Temporarily stored over the network to provide to the user; f (10) in the 'transmission temporary i2 brain such as "No" to find out whether there is idle e-buy in the temporary fleet of vehicles such as "Yes" Electricity =:: Γ again, user _ two and temporary storage of electricity, and then through the axis to the user. Second no" is generated in the system day - "temporary computer is busy" ml storage equipment The database identifies the shards that the user has requested and provides them directly to the user. In the above embodiment, the user can further use the user setting and the related information to store the portal platform into the storage library and make the movie and related materials appear in the play 9 1337309 menu for other uses. Point, choose to watch. Tian Ran can also set up the storage device and the temporary storage group in different geographical locations as needed. The platform can manage the storage devices and the temporary storage group II to make the storage devices or The temporary storage device group can be targeted to the user through the nearby network. Please refer to the second figure, a video program playing system capable of performing the above method, which includes a client (1) and a provider (2), wherein: the client (1)' includes multiple users. The terminal device (丄〇), the remote user terminal device (i 0) can be selected and received through the network (5). Xuan provides (2) the film 'and provides the film and related materials to the provider; 'Children's provider (2), including a storage device (2), a temporary storage device group (3) and An entrance platform (4〇). The storage device (20) has a storage unit (2) and a management unit (2 2), and the storage unit (2^ has at least one mechanical hard disk for storing a large number of administrators to input movies and user transmissions The incoming video and control unit (2 2) organizes the videos into a database to manage the output of the videos. The riding server group (3 〇) has a plurality of temporary storage computers (3 workers). The (4), computer (3 US uses memory as a storage medium for temporary storage: "The film indicated by Li early (22), and when the temporary storage computer (η) is idle, the movie of 5 has been recalled It can be deleted, and the temporary storage month (3 1 ) is obtained from the network using the memory of the memory and the video shown in 1337309 for the convenience of the servo software and for temporarily storing the management unit. The navigation platform (40) has an access interface (4 1 ) and a processing module (4 2). The access interface (4 1 ) has a play menu (4 3 ) and a storage menu (4 servants of the play menu (43) including all the videos in the database of the storage device (20) Weighing and related content, we can provide each user terminal device (1〇) of the client (1). Click the storage menu (4 4) to select each user terminal device (i 〇) to access the network (5). Transfer the movie and related materials to the storage unit (21) of the storage device (2) and use the management unit (22) to integrate the video and related materials of the user into the database and include In the play menu (4 3), the play menu (4 3) and the save menu (4 4) are used to distinguish the videos into various types for the user to select and store. • The processing module ( 4 2) has a recording unit (4 5 ) and an operation unit (4 6 ) for recording a temporary storage computer selected by each user and temporarily stored in the temporary storage group The movie in the movie f 'the computing unit (4 6) can determine whether the movie selected by the user is not present in the recording unit (4 5 ), whether the temporary storage server group (3 〇) has a memory Is the temporary temporary storage computer (3 workers) and the temporary storage server group (3 0) whether there is an idle temporary storage computer (3丄) to Decide to provide the video by one of the temporary storage computers (3 )) or the storage device (2 0). 1337309 Make the mechanical hard disk (20) user The on-demand video::::Save device; 3〇>:^ The 4 body has the advantages of saving and fetching speed without affecting the speed, so that it can be used for a large number of users.
