一种网络电视 IPTV的点播方法、装置与系统 本申请要求于 2009 年 12 月 7 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 200910224099. 2、发明名称为 "一种网络电视 IPTV的点播方法、装置与系统" 的中国专利申请的优先权， 其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域， 具体地涉及一种网络电视 IPTV的点播方法、 装置与系统。 背景技术
IPTV (Internet Protocol Television , 网络电视） 业务是一个融合了电信网 通信安全、 广电网信息内容和互联网网络特点的全新业务， 在 ί司一连接中同 时提供语音、 数据、 视频业务， 也就是说， 基于同一物理连接就可以打电话、 上网和看电视， 而且还可以享受更多的数据、 语音和视频的融合 ik务。
IPTV 是以 "电视机-机顶盒"为主要终端设备， 为家庭用户提供包括传 统电视节目在内的互动多媒体服务的宽带增值业务。 随着 IPTV 的建设及发 展， IPTV用户越来越多， 点播内容也越来越受用户的青睐， 但收费模式单一 (用户必须去营业厅交付）、 收看方式单一。
现有技术在数字电视 DTV ( Digitan¾levisio 数字电视） 领域， 由于受 限于 HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coaxial, 光纤同轴电缆混合网）单向网络的限制， 用 户通过 STB ( Set Top Box, 机顶盒） 只能收看到下行的节目， 无法实现用户 的互动。 因此， 为了弥补单向网络的不足， 在 DTV中借用电话或手机短信实 现点播请求， 即^户通过打电话或发短信给广电呼叫中心， 申请点播节目， 当运维人员接收到短信或电话 I吋， 在 DTV~SMS ( Subscriber Management Subsystem, 订户管理子系统） 中进行订购。 然后， DTV系统根据用户请求向 ^户下发点播流信息， 费用扣除在 DTV系统的用户账户中。
发明人在实现本发明的过程中发现， 现有技术至少存在以下不足： 现有 技术仅在数字电视领域中把短信作为数字电视用户点播的互动回传通道， 只 有用户自己为自己点播， 且费用扣除在数字电视系统的个人账户上。 由于只 为用户提供单向数字网络点播的通道， 存在点播方式单一、 收费模式单一、

5105、 从短信网关接收计费装置发送的对应于该扣费请求的扣费响应；
5106、 若扣费成功， 通知 IPTV-MEM根据该点播请求将点播的媒体流推 送至目标机顶盒。
可选地， 本实施例的媒体流可以为影视节目等视频文件。
本发明实施例采用短信方式实现了 IPTV 点播， 并通过移动通信终端付 费， 解决了当前 IPTV付费方式单一问题； 本发明实施例增加了 IPTV点播的 扣费方式， 增强了用户进行 IPTV点播时的交费灵活性， 极大地促进了运营商 业务的推广及新营销方式的开展。 本发明实施例的技术方案可适用于数字电 视领域， 并可把业务扩展到直播节目点播、 增值业务点播内容等方面。
本发明实施例还提供了一种网络电视 IPTV的点播系统。图 2为本发明实 施例系统的组网架构图。 该点播系统包括了 IPTV系统 20的以及移动系统 21 的设备， 本实施例的点播系统主要包括： 短信网关 211、 业务网关 201、 IPTV 媒体娱乐管理中间件 IPTV-MEM202以及计费装置 （如 BOSS) 212； 业务网 关 201连接短信网关 211 以及 IPTV-MEM202; 短信网关 211连接计费装置 212。
首先对 IPTV系统 20和移动系统 21的基本功能进行详细说明。
IPTV系统 20的主要功能是： 为 STB用户提供直播、 点播、 增值业务等 流媒体服务。 具体地， STB204, 用于通过 EPG (电视节目指南） 203页面向 用户展示影片的内容、 描述、 提示等信息； EPG203 , 用于接收 STB204的用 户对感兴趣或期望点播的影片的选择， 并将 STB204 的点播请求发送到 IPTV-MEM (Media Entertainment Management, 媒体娱乐管理中间件） 202; IPTV-MEM202 , 用于接收 EPG203发送的点播请求， 并进行用户鉴权、 内容 鉴权、计算需要扣除的费用等业务处理， 当 IPTV-MEM202对用户及点播影片 内容鉴权通过后， 向 IPTV用户的 STB204发送点播的影片， 使 IPTV用户可 以在 STB204上收看点播的影片。 移动系统 21的主要功能是：提供手机用户话音、短信、彩信等移动服务。 具体地，移动通信终端 213，用于接收用户指令，向移动系统的 ISMG (Internet Short Message Gateway, 互联网短信网关） 发送短信、 彩信或增强型短信。
ISMG211 , 用于接收用户通过移动通信终端发送的短信， 并根据用户发送的 号码进行短信的转发； BOSS系统用于实现移动终端的计费等功能。
为了增加点播的支付方便性及扩大 ^户点播的适应性， 从而提升用户的 A PU值， 本实施例的系统增加一个 IPTV业务网关来完成 ΐΡΊΎ系统与移动 短信平台的对接。 在实际应用中， 业务网关 201可以位于 IPTV系统 20中或 移动系统 21中， 或者为这两个系统之外的一个独立设备。 通过该 IPTV业务 网关， 用户能够通过短信息向自己或好友推荐点播影片， 并可以从用户的手 机账户中扣费。本实施例的系统增加了用户 IPTV点播的灵活性及娱乐性， 并 实现了 IPTV点播内容的差异化运营。
下面详细描述增加了业务网关之后， 本实施例系统各个部分的功能。 本实施例的业务网关 201，用于从短信网关 211接收移动通信终端 213发 送的点播请求； 将该点播请求发送给 IPTV-MEM202, 以触发 IPTV-MEM202 对该点播请求进行鉴权； 若鉴权通过， 接收 IPTV-MEM202 发送的对该移动 通信终端 213的扣费请求； 将该扣费请求通过短信网关 211发送至计费装置 212；从短信网关 211接收计费装置 212发送的对应于该扣费请求的扣费响应； 若扣费成功， 通知 IPTV-MEM202 根据该点播请求将点播的媒体流推送至目 标机顶盒 204。
本实施例的短信网关 211，用于将移动通信终端 213的点播请求转发给业 务网关 201 ; 将业务网关 201发送的扣费请求转发给计费装置 212; 并将计费 装置 212发送的扣费响应转发给业务网关 201。
IPTV-MEM202,用于对点播请求进行鉴权；若鉴权通过， 向业务网关 201 发送扣费请求； 接收扣费响应； 若扣费成功， 则根据点播请求将点播的媒体 流推送至目标机顶盒 204。 可选地， 本实施例的 IPTV-MEM202 , 还用于在鉴权通过之后， 向目标机 顶盒发送点播媒体流的提示信息； 接收目标机顶盒根据提示信息发送的确认 收看响应； 如果确认收看， 则向业务网关发送扣费请求。
图 3为本实施例的业务网关的功能框图。 图 3显示了业务网关的内部结 构及其与外部系统的连接关系。
如图 3所示， IPTV业务网关包括： 接口适配层和逻辑应用层。
IPTV业务网关把对外接口封闭在一个接口适配层中， 便于后续的扩展及 开放。 上述对外接口可以包括例如与短信网关、 彩信网关、 增强短信网关的 接口， 也可以包括与 IPTV系统之间的内部协议接口。 即上述接口依次为处于 接口适配层中的： SMS ( Short Messaging Service , 短信服务） 接口、 MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service , 多媒体信息月艮务） 接口、 EMS (Enhanced Message Service, 增强型短消息服务） 接口和 IPTV接口。
IPTV业务网关与短信网关之间采用标准的 SMS协议进行互联、 与彩信 网关之间采用标准的 MMS协议进行互联、与增强 ISMG网关之间采用标准的 EMS协议进行互联， 完成信息系统的短信、 彩信、 EMS的信息接收与发送。 业务网关与 IPTV-MEM 之间采用短信点播 SOAP ( Simple Object Access Protocol, 简单对象访问协议） 协议互联， 完成点播请求信息、 扣费请求信息 的转发。
IPTV业务网关对外接口中的 IPTV接口为 SOAP接口， 其包括：
1、 点播请求接口
接口方式： 业务网关至 MEM, 异歩消息；
请求输入： 序列号、 手机号码、 用户 ID [允许为空]、 内容 ID;
响应： 消息发送结果；
2、 扣费请求接口
接口方式： MEM至业务网关， 同歩消息；
请求输入： 序列号、 手机号码、 用户 ID [允许为空]、 内容 ID、 费用； 响应： 扣费结果、 序列号、 手机号码、 扣费金额；
3、 对账接口
接口方式： SOAP+FTP (File Transfer Protocol, 文件传输协议）； 请求输入： 开始序列号、 结束序列号、 文件名称、 总笔数、 总金额； 响应： 对账结果、 不平笔数。
对账接口，主要用于实现 IPTV系统与移动系统之间的对账过程。对账时， 可能存在不平 （不一致） 的账务信息， 故需明确不一致的笔数， 两边确认后 的不一致的信息被提取出来， 即 IPTV-MEM生成的账单与 BOSS系统的扣费 记录进行对比， 看两个系统对费用处理是否一致， 如不一致， 则将不一致的 信息提取出来以进行单独人工处理。
逻辑应用层包括： 消息通讯模块， 用于完成标准协议与私有协议的通讯 处理， 标准协议指 SMS协议、 MMS协议和 EMS协议， 私有协议指 SOAP协 议； 消息管理模块， 用于完成对外与对内消息队列的管理， 防止消息的丢失 及异常； 对账管理模块， 用于完成用户点播的对账处理， 包括对 IPTV系统内 部用户的点播记录与移动系统之间的扣费记录进行对账处理。
以下对本实施例的一种网络电视 IPTV的点播系统的工作过程进行说明： 当用户用手机向指定号码发送点播短信时， ISMG接受到用户的点播短 信， 根据发送号码把点播信息转发给本发明实施例的 IPTV业务网关， IPTV 业务网关调用 "点播请求接口"请求 IPTV-MEM进行点播用户、 点播内容的 合法性检查， 例如， 检查用户是否存在、 用户状态是否正常， 内容是否存在、 内容状态是否正常等， 如果合法， 则 IPTV-MEM通过 EPG向用户提示点播确 认信息。 当 IPTV用户在 STB上确认点播收看时， IPTV-MEM调用 "扣费请 求接口" 申请从上述手机上扣除此次点播的费用。
IPTV业务网关根据 IPTV-MEM发送的扣费请求，令移动 ISMG根据签订 的协议， 向移动 BOSS发送点播扣费请求， 从发送点播请求的用户手机账户 中扣除本次点播的费用。 当 IPTV-MEM获知移动 BOSS扣费成功后， 则通过 EPG向 IPTV用户推 送点播的媒体流。
本实施例的系统， 通过采用短信方式实现了 IPTV点播， 并通过采用移动 通信终端付费， 解决了当前 IPTV交付方式单一问题； 同时， 本发明实施例拓 展了 IPTV的点播方式， 实现了 IPTV跨用户点播， 可以扩展到 IPTV用户之 间的 STB点播， 不仅能为自己点播， 也能为别人点播； 由于采用了以上技术 方案， 本发明实施例 2增加了 IPTV实现点播的扣费方式， 增强了用户进行 IPTV点播时的交费灵活性， 极大地促进了运营商业务的推广及新营销方式的 开展。
本实施例还提供了一种网络电视 IPTV的点播方法。该方法实现了跨用户 点播。 图 4为本实施例的一种网络电视 IPTV的点播方法的流程图。如图 4所 示， 该方法包括：
S40K 从短信网关 211接收移动通信终端 213发送的点播请求， 该点播 请求中包含了需要点播的内容标识和对方的机顶盒标识；
S402、将该点播请求发送给 IPTV-MEM202, 以触发 IPTV-MEM202对该 点播请求进行鉴权；
