CDN Manager和中心 (包括次中心) 流媒体服务器连接到城域 /广域网 的路由器上, 边缘流媒体服务器连接到城域 /广域网和接入网相衔接的边缘路 由器上, 从而形成服务器侧 P2P域, 该服务器侧 P2P域构成基于 P2P的内容 分发网络; CDN Agent与 CDN节点——对应, 连接到边缘流媒体服务器所 连接的边缘路由器上, 用户终端通过接入网与边缘流媒体服务器所连接的边 缘路由器相连接, 从而形成终端侧 P2P 或。 下面对本发明实施例的实现互联网电视媒体交互的系统的各个部分进 行详细说明。 中心流媒体服务器, 用于存储经过分块 (即划分为若干数据块)的媒体 数据, 并且运营商可以对存储的媒体内容指定热度。 以及, 中心流媒体服务 器可以才艮据内容发布的策略将该内容的媒体数据的不同块发送并存储到不同 的边缘流媒体服务器中。 多个边缘流媒体服务器, 其中, 存储有中心流媒体服务器发来的媒体数 据块, 并且根据媒体数据块热度等参数可以实现媒体数据块在边缘流媒体服 务器上的分布式存储, 优选地, 越热门的数据块存储的份数就越多 (便于向 终端提供数据), 反之, 越冷门的媒体数据块存储的份数则越少(能够节省存 储空间), 这种存储方式可以称为对媒体数据的预分布存储(或者叫做内容发 布), 在预分布存储结束后, 系统即可开始进行运营。 边缘流媒体服务器内的媒体数据的分布主要存在以下两种情况: 情况一: 用户终端存储已经点播 /时移过的媒体数据, 由于用户终端的 存储空间有限, 在已经点播 /时移过的媒体数据逐渐增多的情况下, 用户终端 采取先进先出的原则将以前的媒体数据删除; 情况二: 在用户终端开机进行 IPTV业务时, 边缘流媒体服务器向用户 终端发出控制指令, 指令其存储某些媒体数据。 用户终端在获得了一个完整 的数据块后, 向 CDN Agent发出状态报告, 报告自己存储状态的变化。 该状 态 4艮告可以包括所获得的数据块所属的文件名、 数据块编号、 本用户终端的 IP地址等信息。 CDN Manager,主要用于统计并管理服务器侧 P2P域的媒体数据分布情 况, 响应于来自服务器侧 P2P域节点的数据查询请求返回能够提供数据块的 节点列表, 这些节点既可以是中心节点(也可称为中心流媒体服务器), 也可 以是边缘节点 (也可称为边缘流媒体服务器)。 CDN Manager可以向边缘流 媒体服务器发送内容发布的指令, 从而将媒体数据主动发送到边缘流媒体服 务器中。 可选地, CDN Manager和中心流媒体月 务器物理上可以位于同一台 月 务器内, 此时可以将这两者作为两个功能块, 此外, 还可以用两个单独的 月 务器硬件来实现 CDN Manager和中心流媒体服务器。 用户终端 (可以是内置硬盘的 STB (机顶盒), 也可以是安装了相应软 件的 PC等), 其可以基于 P2P方式获取媒体数据块, 并在获取后续数据块的 过程中播放已经获得的数据块, 从而提高用户体验。 CDN Agent, 可用于统计并管理终端侧 P2P域的媒体数据分布情况, 响 应终端侧 P2P 或内用户终端 (例如, STB ) 的发出的数据查询请求, 并返回 能够提供服务的节点列表。 CDN Agent可以向用户终端发送内容发布的指令, 从而将媒体数据主动部署到用户终端中。 如果终端侧 P2P域中没有相应的媒 体数据可以提供服务,则 CDN Agent会触发与其对应的边缘流媒体服务器向 月 务器侧 P2P域请求媒体数据。 可选地, CDN Agent与边缘流媒体服务器物 理上可以位于同一台月 务器内, 此时这两者可以作为两个功能块; 此外, 还 可以用两个单独的月 务器硬件来实现 CDN Agent与边缘流媒体月 务器。 优选地, 本发明实例的实现互联网电视媒体交互的系统还可以包括: 连 接到城或 /广或网路由器上的业务管理系统 (Service Management System, SMS )、 连接到城域 /广域网路由器上的数字版权管理 ( Digital Rights Managements , DRM ) 系统、 连接到城域 /广或网路由器上的电子节目指南 ( Electronic Programmer Guide , EPG ), 其中,
EPG能够将 IPTV能够提供的业务有机地进行组织并进行展现,是 IPTV 业务的入口。 用户只有进入了所归属的 EPG 才能浏览并选择播放相应的节 目。 EPG提供了搜索和收藏等功能, 能够为用户提供以个性化的用户体验。
SMS主要用于提供直播时移和 TVOD业务的运营支支撑, 具体功能可 以包括: 内容管理、 EPG管理、 DRM管理、 业务管理、 CP/SP管理、 支付 管理、 用户管理、 认证 4受权、 计费管理、 统计分析、 系统管理、 增值业务管 理的等。 运营支撑系统通过对用户、 业务、 资源的管理, 支持所在的系统成 为可运营的 IPTV业务系统。 用户终端必须要经过运营支撑系统的开户和认 证, 才可以使用本 IPTV的直播时移和 TVOD业务。
DRM系统是实现运营商内容安全分发的支持系统, DRM系统可以包括 媒体数据加密处理、 用户授权处理、 客户端解密处理三个功能实现部分。 只 有在用户获得 4受权后, 才可以解密并观看媒体节目。 为了便于理解本发明实施例的实现互联网电视媒体交互的系统,下面将 对本发明实施例的实现互联网电视媒体交互的系统的具体实现过程进行举例 说明。 当用户终端要进行 IPTV业务时, 需要首先访问 EPG, 浏览系统所提供 的媒体内容。 在终端侧 P2P 域中, 由于用户终端在第一次开机的时候通常都要开始 体验 IPTV业务, 所以无法在终端侧 P2P域内作预分布存储。 当用户终端选 择一个媒体内容观看时, 需要首先向边缘流媒体服务器请求该媒体内容的第 一块数据, 为了尽量减少时延, 在边缘流媒体服务器未达到服务能力的上限 的情况下, 都应当立刻响应用户终端的请求发送媒体数据,。 用户终端在收到 媒体数据以后, 立刻开始播放, 此时用户终端可以开始向本终端侧 P2P 或内 的 CDN Agent发出查询请求, 请求可以提供后续媒体数据块的 CDN节点信 息。 图 2为本发明实施例的实现互联网电视媒体交互的系统中用户终端起始 播放的数据块关系示意图, 如图 2所示, 当前用户终端 (机顶盒 1 ) 正在从 边缘流媒体服务器下载并播放数据块, 并同时从机顶盒 2和机顶盒 3下载数 据块。 响应于来自用户终端的查询请求, CDN Agent可以回应一些可以提供 服务的节点信息,这些节点信息可能是属于本终端侧 P2P域的其它用户终端, 也可能是属于本终端侧 P2P域的边缘流媒体服务器。 用户终端依次向这些节 点发出数据请求, 直到得到服务为止。 如果这些节点都不能提供服务, 则用 户终端需要再向 CDN Agent进行查询。 所以, 随着播放的进行, 在通常情况 下, 用户终端在播放第 N块的时候, 会将第 N+l、 N+2 N + M块存储 在硬盘上, 而它正在接收的媒体数据块可能是 N+M+l、 N+M+2、 .. . , Ν+Μ+Κ 块数据。 图 3为本发明实施例的实现互联网电视媒体交互的系统中用户终端 进入正常播放方式的数据块关系示意图, 如图 3所示, 机顶盒 1 已经获取了 4个数据块,并且正在向机顶盒 4提供下载且播放完成的数据块,同时向 STB 5提供下载完成的第 4个数据块, 此外, 机顶盒 1还正在从机顶盒 2和机顶 盒 3下载数据块。 通过这样将媒体数据分块并尽力获取后续数据的方式,能够使数据块的 下载和播放同时进行, 高效率地为用户提供业务, 从而为用户带来良好的体 验。 当用户需要跳进时, 若跳到的时刻所对应的媒体数据已经在用户终端的 硬盘上了, 则可以很顺利地继续播放当前跳进到的内容; 同时, 用户也可以 对用户终端硬盘上的媒体数据进行 X倍速的快进操作, 但是, 当跳到的时刻 所对应的媒体数据不在用户终端的硬盘上时, 用户终端需要要立即向 CDN Agent 发起对应的媒体数据的请求, 获取数据并进行播放, 其过程与上述的 播放流程相同。 当用户终端要点播 /时移的媒体数据在终端侧 P2P域内没有存储时, 则 在 CDN Agent收到用户终端的媒体数据的查询请求后,会通知边缘流媒体月 务器从 ^^务器侧的 P2P 域内下载数据。 边缘流媒体^ ^务器首先向 CDN Manager查询可以提供媒体数据的节点列表, CDN Manager会向边缘流媒体 服务器返回该列表, 该列表中可能包括多个提供媒体数据的节点 (这些能够 提供媒体数据的节点至少包括中心流媒体服务器),边缘流媒体服务器会从列 表中选择一个节点并向它请求媒体数据。 优选地, 边缘流媒体服务器同时可 以向多个节点请求多个不同的数据块, 由于服务器之间是基于城域网的数据 传输, 边缘流媒体服务器获得数据的速率要比用户终端播放需要数据的速率 快很多, 可以满足用户终端对媒体数据的需求。 边缘流媒体服务器在获得了 一个完整的数据块后, 就会向 CDN Manager和 CDN Agent发出状态 4艮告, 报告自己存储状态的变化。 该状态报告包括所获得的数据块所属的文件名、 数据块编号、 本边缘流媒体服务器的 IP地址等信息。 每个用户终端都要定期向 CDN Agent 4艮告该终端在本次开机期间对外 提供的数据信息, 以对用户终端的贡献进行统计, 有利于用户终端之间资源 的共享。 当边缘流媒体服务器出现故障,用户终端在得不到它所在的终端侧 P2P 域的边缘流媒体服务器的及时服务时, 则会向 CDN Manager发出请求, CDN Manager将指定一个距离该故障边缘流媒体服务器最近的其它边缘流媒体服 务器为其提供服务, 相当于把这个故障边缘流媒体服务器的所有用户终端归 并到另一个边缘流媒体月 务器的范围内, 扩展这个边缘流媒体月 务器的 P2P 域。 下面结合附图对本发明实施例的实现互联网电视媒体交互的方法进行 详细说明。 图 4 为利用才艮据上述实施例的实现互联网电视媒体交互的系统来实现 TVOD和直播时移电视业务的方法的流程示意图。 如图 4所示, 具体可以包 括如下步骤: 步骤 400: 预先对媒体数据进行预分布存储, 即将预先将经过分块(即 划分为若干数据块) 并由数字版权管理服务器加密的媒体数据存储在中心流 媒体服务器中, 并且由运营商对媒体内容指定其热度。 中心流媒体服务器根 据内容发布的策略将该内容的媒体数据的不同块发送和存储到不同的边缘流 媒体服务器中。 媒体数据块根据其热度等实现在边缘流媒体服务器上的分布 式存储, 优选地, 对热门的数据块进行多份存储, 对冷门的媒体数据块进行 少量的存储。 步骤 401 : 用户终端浏览 EPG, 选择要观看的 TVOD节目 (或者电视 直播时移频道); 步骤 402: 用户终端向所在边缘 P2P 域的边缘流媒体服务器发出点播 TVOD (或者直播时移电视)媒体文件的请求; 步骤 403: 边缘流媒体服务器接收到 TVOD点播(或者直播时移电视 ) 请求后, 立即响应用户终端的请求, 并向其发送目标媒体文件的第一块数据, 用户终端接收到目标媒体文件的第一块数据后, 立即开始播放该媒体文件, 同时执行步骤 404; 步骤 404: 用户终端向所在的终端侧 P2P 或内的 CDN Agent发送查询 请求; 步骤 405: CDN Agent向用户终端返回能够提供后续数据块的 CDN节 点的节点信息列表; CDN节点的信息列表中的节点包括用户终端所在终端侧 P2P 或内的其它用户终端; CDN节点还包括用户终端所在终端侧 P2P 或内的 边缘流媒体服务器, 边缘流媒体服务器排在节点信息列表的最后。 步骤 406: 用户终端根据接收到的节点信息列表向其中节点依次发出数 据下载请求, 直到得到数据下载服务为止; 用户终端在下载得到新的数据块 后, 向 CDN Agent发送状态 4艮告。 如果节点信息列表中的所有节点都不能提供数据下载服务,则用户终端 重新向 CDN Agent发出查询请求。 步骤 407: 用户终端依次播放已下载的数据块。 其中, 在上述步骤 405中, 当 CDN Agent无法在本终端侧 P2P 或内查 找到能够提供目标媒体文件的后续数据块的节点时, 则通知边缘媒体服务器 从服务器侧 P2P域内下载目标媒体文件, 具体地, 边缘媒体服务器从服务器 侧 P2P域内下载目标媒体文件步骤过程如下: 边缘流媒体月^务器向 CDN Manager发送查询请求;
CDN Manager向边缘流媒体服务器返回能够提供目标媒体文件的节点 信息列表; 节点信息列表中的节点至少包括中心流媒体服务器, 且排在节点 信息列表的最后; 节点信息列表中的节点至少包括服务器侧 P2P域内的其它 边缘媒体服务器; 边缘流媒体服务器根据节点信息列表同时向其中多个节点请求,并下载 目标媒体文件的后续数据块, 并将下载下来的后续数据块依次发送给用户终 端; 这里, 边缘流媒体服务器在下载得到新的数据块后, 会向 CDN Manager 和 CDN Agent分别发送状态 4艮告。 步骤 405中, 当用户执行跳进操作时, 如跳进位置所在的数据块已经下 载, 则立即播放该数据块; 若兆进位置所在的数据块还未下载, 则用户终端 从边缘流媒体服务器下载并播放该数据块, 同时, 重新执行步骤 404至步骤 406 , 然后, 用户终端依次播放已经下载的位于跳进位置之后的后续数据块。 综上所述,本发明实施例提供了一种实现互联网电视媒体交互的系统及 方法, 通过在城域或广域实施基于 P2P的内容分发措施, 减轻了对中心服务 器的压力, 通过在接入网内实施 P2P, 减轻了边缘流媒体服务器的压力; 同 时, 通过边缘流媒体服务器在两个 P2P域中分别承担数据传输任务, 减少了 对专用于媒体分发的基础实施的要求; 此外, 本发明还能够利用较少的建设 成本为大量用户提供高质量的 IPTV时移电视和 TVOD业务, 并且, 本系统 的部署是可以跨城域甚至广域的, 同时, 本系统具有良好的可扩展性, 用户 数量越多, 所部署的服务器所受的压力就越小, 从而能够解决相关技术中 IPTV系统提供录播和时移电视等业务时业务质量差、系统建设成本昂贵及可 扩展性差的问题。 显然, 本领域的技术人员应该明白, 上述的本发明的各模块或各步骤可 以用通用的计算装置来实现, 它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上, 或者分布 在多个计算装置所组成的网络上, 可选地, 它们可以用计算装置可执行的程 序代码来实现, 从而, 可以将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行, 或 者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块, 或者将它们中的多个模块或步骤制 作成单个集成电路模块来实现。 这样, 本发明不限制于任何特定的硬件和软 件结合。 以上所述, 仅为本发明较佳的具体实施方式, 但本发明的保护范围并不 局限于此, 任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本发明揭露的技术范围内, 可 轻易想到的变化或替换, 都应涵盖在本发明的保护范围之内。 因此, 本发明 的保护范围应该以权利要求书的保护范围为准。
