Description

处理媒体内容的方法、 控制设备、 媒体服务器和媒体播放器 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 尤其涉及通信领域中处理媒体内容的方法、 控制 设备、 媒体服务器和媒体播放器。 背景技术
随着数字家庭的发展, 以及消费电子 (Consumer Electronics, 简称为 "CE") 产品本身的普遍数字化, 家庭中正出现越来越多的数字化的娱乐设 备和家电产品。 将这些家庭网络设备以有线或无线方式连接成家庭网络, 以 实现内容共享或相互控制等功能, 是业界正在构想并努力实现的数字家庭网 络概念。
为了实现各种不同类型家庭设备的互通和控制,越来越多的家庭网络设 备支持通用即插即用 (Universal Plug and Play, 简称为 "UPnP"), 因而家庭 网络设备也可以称为 UPnP设备。 在 UPnP体系中, 用户通过家庭网络中的 控制设备 (Control Point, 简称为 "CP") 实现对家庭设备的控制, CP采用 UPnP协议, 可以通过调用 UPnP设备的相关的控制命令 (Action), 读取家 庭网络中 UPnP设备的状态信息, 并控制 UPnP设备执行相应的操作。
为了实现家庭中各类设备之间的媒体内容共享, UPnP论坛制定了音视 频(Audio/Video,简称为 "AV")标准。该 AV标准中定义了媒体服务器(Media Server,简称为 "MS")用于提供 AV媒体资源;媒体播放器(Media Renderer, 简称为 "MR")用来解码并播放来自 MS的媒体。数字生活网络联盟(Digital Living Network Alliance, 简称为 " DLNA ") 引用了 UPnP AV定义的标准, 并定义了数字媒体服务器 (Digital Media Server, 简称为 "DMS")、 数字媒 体呈现器(Digital Media Renderer,简称为 "DMR")、数字媒体播放器(Digital Media Player, 简称为 "DMP") 等设备类型。
DLNA认证工作组 (Authentication Task Force) 正在进行客户端与服务 器端验证的标准研究工作, 该工作小组研究解决商业视频概要(Commercial Video Profile, 简称为 "CVP")客户端的认证需求, 以达到允许 CVP客户端 播放从 CVP服务器(例如机顶盒)获取的由运营商提供的付费内容的目的。
目前 DLNA认证技术只提出 2-box场景, 即 CP和 MR在同一设备上的 场景, 在这种情况下, 当 CP与认证服务器进行认证后得到令牌 (Token) , 表明该客户端有权限。 而对于 3-box场景, 即 CP和待播放的 MR不为同一 设备的场景, 在这种情况下, 当 CP与认证服务器进行认证得到令牌, 只表 明 CP有权限, 而其他 MR并未进行认证而未知其权限。
因此,如果用户想将目标媒体内容推到其它媒体播放器上播放,一方面, 用户在选择将目标媒体内容推到其它媒体播放器的操作中,用户并不知道哪 些媒体播放器具有播放权限; 另一方面, 由于其它媒体播放器并没有经过认 证, 所选取的媒体播放器可能不能播放用户选取的目标媒体内容。 发明内容

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图, 对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清 楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不是 全部实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造 性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都应属于本发明保护的范围。
图 1示出了根据本发明实施例的处理媒体内容的方法 100^的示意性流程 图, 该方法 100例如可以由控制设备 (CP) 执行。 如图 1所示, 该方法 100 包括:
S110, 向家庭网络中的媒体播放器发送控制命令, 该控制命令用于指示 该家庭网络中的媒体播放器向认证服务器请求认证;
S120, 确定第一内容列表, 该第一内容列表包括通过该认证服务器认证 的媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目;
S130, 向用户显示该第一内容列表;
S140, 根据用户从该第一内容列表中选择播放的目标媒体内容, 以及该 用户选择播放该目标媒体内容的目标媒体播放器, 向该目标媒体播放器发送 该目标媒体内容的通用资源标识符, 以便于该目标媒体播放器获取并播放该 目标媒体内容。
具体而言, 控制设备可以向家庭网络中的媒体播放器发送控制命令, 以 触发媒体播放器向认证服务器认证; 控制设备由此可以确定包括经过认证的 媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目的内容列表, 从而可以向用户显示该内 容列表; 在用户从该第一内容列表中选择播放的目标媒体内容, 并且用户选 择了播放该目标媒体内容的目标媒体播放器之后, 控制设备可以向目标媒体 播放器发送该目标媒体内容的通用资源标识符, 从而目标媒体播放器可以获 取并播放该目标媒体内容。
因此, 本发明实施例的处理媒体内容的方法, 通过向用户显示的内容列 表包括认证服务器认证的媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目, 使得用户选 择的媒体内容能够由经过认证的媒体播放器播放, 从而能够避免用户选择的 媒体播放器没有权限或没有能力播放媒体内容。
应理解,在本发明实施例中,仅以家庭网络中的应用场景为例进行说明, 并且以家庭网络中的各设备基于 UPnP协议进行通信,但本发明并不限于此。 例如, 家庭网络中的各设备可以基于各种通信系统的通信方法进行通信。
还应理解,该通信系统例如包括:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication, 简称为 "GSM") 系统、 码分多址 (Code Division Multiple Access, 简称为 "CDMA") 系统、 宽带码分多址 (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,简称为 "WCDMA")系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service, 简称为 "GPRS")、 长期演进 (Long Term Evolution, 简称为 "LTE")系统、 LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex, 简称为 "FDD") 系统、 LTE时分双工 (Time Division Duplex, 简称为 "TDD")、 通用移动通 信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System, 简称为 "UMTS")、 全 球互耳关微波接入 ( Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, 简禾尔为 "WiMAX") 通信系统等。
还应理解, 在本发明实施例中, 控制设备与媒体播放器可以属于同一设 备, 即控制设备也是媒体播放器; 当然, 控制设备与媒体播放器也可以分别 属于不同的设备, 本发明并不限于此。 类似地, 在本发明实施例中, 认证服 务器和媒体服务器可以处于同一设备上, 也可以分别属于不同的设备, 本发 明并不限于此。
在 S110中, 控制设备可以向家庭网络中的媒体播放器发送控制命令, 该控制命令用于指示该家庭网络中的媒体播放器向认证服务器请求认证, 从 而触发媒体播放器进行认证。
在本发明实施例中, 控制设备可以向家庭网络中的所有媒体播放器发送 控制命令, 以触发所有的媒体播放器进行认证; 控制设备也可以仅触发家庭 网络中的部分媒体播放器进行认证。 另一方面, 接收到控制设备发送的控制 命令的所有媒体播放器可以都向认证服务器进行认证, 或者仅部分媒体播放 器向认证服务器进行认证, 本发明实施例并不以此为限。
具体而言, 例如, 控制设备 (CP)可以向媒体播放器 (MR)发送基于超文本 传输协议(Hypertext Transfer Protocol, 简称为 "HTTP")的 UPnP控制命令, 例如 CP向 MR发送 StartAuthentictionG命令,以触发 MR向认证服务器进行 认证; MR与认证服务器可以通过建立传输层安全(Transport Layer Security, 简称为 "TLS") 连接, 并使用证书进行相互认证。 通过认证的 MR将会收 到认证服务器发送的令牌, 该令牌可以包括该 MR的认证状态信息, 例如通 过认证或权限信息等; 此外, 认证服务器将会记录通过认证的 MR的信息, 例如记录通过认证的 MR的标识和能力信息等。
在 S120中, 控制设备确定第一内容列表, 该第一内容列表可以包括通 过该认证服务器认证的媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目。即该第一内容 列表包括的媒体内容条目可以由至少一个通过认证的媒体播放器播放。
在本发明实施例中, 可选地, 该第一内容列表包括的媒体内容条目表示 通过认证的媒体播放器有权限播放的媒体内容条目, 或表示通过认证的媒体 播放器有权限且有能力播放的媒体内容条目。
在本发明实施例中, 可选地, 该第一内容列表还包括控制设备能够播放 的媒体内容条目。类似地, 控制设备能够播放的媒体内容条目可以表示控制 设备有权限播放的媒体内容条目, 或者可以表示控制设备有权限并且有能力 播放的媒体内容条目。 下文中将结合具体例子描述不同情况下的处理流程, 为了简洁, 在此不再赘述。
在 S130中, 控制设备可以向用户显示该第一内容列表。
具体地, 例如, 控制设备可以在用户界面列表 (UI listing, 其中 User
Interface简称为 "UI")中,确定一个合适的电子节目菜单(Electronic Program Guide, 简称为 "EPG") UI, 并呈现给用户, 该 EPG UI包括该第一内容列 表, 该第一内容列表的内容条目可以包括媒体内容的分辨率和格式信息, 例 如高清(High Definition, 简称为 "HD") /H.264, 标清(Standard Definition, 简称为 " SD") /H.264等。
应理解, 在本发明实施例中, 控制设备可以采用远程用户界面(Remote User Interface, 简称为 "RUI") 的方法, 将确定的 EPG UI显示给用户; 控 制设备也可以采用内容目录服务(Content Directory Service, 简称为 "CDS") 的方法, 显示该 EPG UI; 当然, 控制设备还可以采用其它方法将第一内容 列表显示给用户, 本发明实施例并不限于此。
在 S140中, 控制设备可以根据用户从该第一内容列表中选择播放的目 标媒体内容, 以及该用户选择播放该目标媒体内容的目标媒体播放器, 向该 目标媒体播放器发送该目标媒体内容的通用资源标识符, 以便于该目标媒体 播放器获取并播放该目标媒体内容。
具体而言, 在本发明实施例中, 当第一内容列表包括的媒体内容条目表 示通过认证的媒体播放器有权限且有能力播放的媒体内容条目时, 例如, 在 用户对第一内容列表中的特定内容条目选择 "播放(play to) "按钮后, 控制 设备可以将能够播放与该内容条目相应的目标媒体内容的 MR, 与处于在线 状态的 MR进行匹配,并可以将能播放该目标媒体内容的且仍处于在线状态 的 MR (即最终有效的 MR) 呈现给用户, 使得用户可以进一歩选择播放目 标媒体内容的目标媒体播放器。 应理解, 在本发明实施例中, 当该第一内容列表包括的媒体内容条目表 示通过认证的媒体播放器有权限播放的媒体内容条目时, 控制设备还需要对 媒体播放器的能力进行匹配, 以确定不仅有权限还有能力播放目标媒体内 容, 并且处于在线状态的 MR, 以使得用户最终选择的媒体播放器能够播放 目标媒体内容。
在本发明实施例中, 用户可以从 CP呈现的最终有效的 MR中选择一个 目标媒体播放器来播放目标媒体内容, 在用户确定目标媒体播放器之后, 控 制设备向该目标媒体播放器发送该目标媒体内容的通用资源标识符 (Uniform Resource Identifier, 简称为 "URI"), 例如, CP可以向该目标媒 体播放器发送 setAVTransportURIO和 PlayO指令, 从而目标 MR将与媒体服 务器建立一个安全连接, 例如建立 TLS连接, 并且目标 MR根据接收到的 目标媒体内容的 URI, 向媒体服务器请求目标媒体内容; 媒体服务器通过对 目标 MR的令牌进行检查, 并且确认目标 MR有效后, 可以将目标媒体内容 发送给目标 MR, 从而该目标 MR可以播放用户选择的目标媒体内容, 而不 会出现 MR没有权限播放该目标媒体内容,或 MR没有能力播放该目标媒体 内容等情况。
因此, 本发明实施例的处理媒体内容的方法, 通过向用户显示的内容列 表包括认证服务器认证的媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目, 使得用户选 择的媒体内容能够由经过认证的媒体播放器播放, 从而能够避免用户选择的 媒体播放器没有权限或没有能力播放媒体内容, 由此能够提高用户体验。
下面将结合图 2至图 6, 详细描述控制设备确定第一内容列表的方法。 如图 2所示, 图 1中的 S120即确定第一内容列表, 包括:
S121 , 获取通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识信息, 以及包括媒 体服务器上的部分或全部媒体内容条目的第二内容列表;
S122, 根据该标识信息, 获取该通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的能 力信息;
S123 , 根据该能力信和该第二内容列表, 确定该第一内容列表。
例如, 可根据能力信息, 通过对该第二内容列表进行匹配, 确定该第一 内容列表。
具体而言, 在 S121 中, 控制设备可以向媒体服务器获取通过认证服务 器认证的媒体播放器的标识信息, 控制设备也可以向媒体播放器获取各媒体 播放器的认证状态信息, 并由此获取通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标 识信息, 下文中将结合图 5和图 6分别进行详细描述。 应理解, 控制设备还 可以通过其它方法获取通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识信息, 本发 明实施例并不限于此。
还应理解,控制设备可以获取所有通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的 标识信息, 也可以仅获取部分通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识信 息, 本发明实施例并不限于此。
在 S121 中, 控制设备可以向媒体服务器请求获取第二内容列表, 该第 二内容列表可以包括媒体服务器上的全部媒体内容条目, 也可以仅包括媒体 服务器上的部分媒体内容条目, 本发明实施例并不限于此。
例如, CP可以向媒体服务器发送 getUI https请求,媒体服务器对 CP身 份进行确认后, 可以向 CP发送用户界面列表(Ul listing), 该用户界面列表 可以包括 CP能兼容的全部或部分 UI, 该 UI可以包括媒体服务器上所有或 部分媒体内容的列表。
在 S122中, 控制设备根据该通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识 信息, 可以向通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器请求其能力信息。
例如, CP可以在获得通过认证服务器认证的 MR的标识信息之后, 向 通过认证服务器认证的 MR发送 getProtocolInfoO指令,接收到该指令的 MR (即通过认证服务器认证的 MR)可以将其能力信息返回给 CP,媒体播放器 的能力信息例如可以包括媒体格式、 传输协议等。
在 S123 中, 控制设备可以根据该通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的 能力信息, 通过对该第二内容列表进行匹配, 确定第二内容列表包括的媒体 内容条目中,通过认证服务器认证服务器认证的媒体播放器能够播放的媒体 内容条目, 由此可以确定该第一内容列表。
例如, 控制设备可以通过将媒体播放器支持的媒体格式, 与媒体内容条 目包括的格式信息等进行匹配, 对第二内容列表进行过滤, 从而确定第一内 容列表。 应理解, 控制设备可以采用其它参数进行匹配操作, 本发明实施例 并不限于此。
应理解, 在本发明各实施例中, 在第一内容列表还包括控制设备能够播 放的媒体内容条目时, 控制设备还需要结合控制设备的能力信息, 对第二内 容列表进行匹配,以确定包括控制设备能够播放和 /或通过认证服务器认证的 MR能够播放的媒体内容条目的第一内容列表。
因此, 本发明实施例的处理媒体内容的方法, 通过向用户显示的内容列 表包括认证服务器认证的媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目, 使得用户选 择的媒体内容能够由经过认证的媒体播放器播放, 从而能够避免用户选择的 媒体播放器没有权限或没有能力播放媒体内容。
图 3示出了根据本发明实施例的确定第一内容列表的方法的另一示意性 流程图。 如图 3所示, 图 1中的 S120即确定第一内容列表, 包括:
5124, 向媒体服务器发送第一列表请求;
5125, 接收该媒体服务器根据该第一列表请求发送的该第一内容列表, 该第一内容列表包括所有通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器中的至少一个 媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目。
例如, 控制设备可以向媒体服务器请求第一内容列表, 媒体服务器可以 根据控制设备的请求, 以及媒体服务器记录的或获取的通过认证服务器认证 的媒体播放器的标识信息和能力信息,通过对媒体服务器上的媒体内容条目 进行匹配, 确定第一内容列表, 该第一内容列表可以包括所有通过认证服务 器认证的媒体播放器中的至少一个媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目。 应理解, 在本发明实施例中, 如果媒体服务器没有记录通过认证服务器 认证的媒体播放器的标识信息和 /或能力信息,或者媒体服务器不能获取到通 过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识信息和 /或能力信息,那么控制设备在 向媒体服务器请求第一内容列表时, 可以携带全部或部分通过认证服务器认 证的媒体播放器的标识信息和 /或能力信息。
图 4示出了根据本发明实施例的确定第一内容列表的方法的再一示意性 流程图。 如图 4所示, 图 1中的 S120即确定第一内容列表, 包括:
5126, 获取通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识信息;
5127, 根据该标识信息, 向媒体服务器发送第二列表请求, 该第二列表 请求包括指定的通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识信息;
5128, 接收该媒体服务器根据该第二列表请求发送的该第一内容列表, 该第一内容列表包括该指定的通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器中的至少 一个媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目。
具体地, 控制设备可以向媒体服务器获取通过认证服务器认证的媒体播 放器的标识信息, 控制设备也可以向媒体播放器获取各媒体播放器的认证状 态信息, 并由此获取通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识信息, 下文中 将结合图 5和图 6分别进行详细描述。控制设备向媒体服务器发送的第二列 表请求中, 可以包括指定的通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识信息, 还可以包括指定的通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的其它信息,例如能力 信息等, 从而媒体服务器可以确定包括指定的通过认证服务器认证的媒体播 放器中的至少一个媒体播放器能够播放的媒体内容条目的第一内容列表。
类似地, 应理解, 在本发明实施例中, 在第一内容列表还包括控制设备 能够播放的媒体内容条目时, 媒体服务器还需要结合控制设备的能力信息, 以确定包括控制设备能够播放和 /或通过认证服务器认证的 MR能够播放的 媒体内容条目的第一内容列表。还应理解, 如果媒体服务器没有记录控制设 备的能力信息时, 控制设备可以在向媒体服务器发送第二列表请求中, 携带 控制设备的能力信息, 或者媒体服务器通过其它方法获取控制设备的能力信 息, 本发明实施例并不限于此。
在本发明实施例中, 当媒体服务器确定该第一内容列表并发送给控制设 备时,如果采用 RUI的方法向用户显示第一内容列表, 则媒体服务器可以在 该第一内容列表中直接标注媒体内容对应可播放的 MR的标识 (ID) 信息, 从而 CP在用户选择播放目标媒体内容时, 可以直接根据第一内容列表中对 应可播放的 MR信息, 向用户显示这些 MR的名称或标识。 即在本发明实施 例中, 可选地, 第一内容列表包括能够播放媒体内容条目且通过认证服务器 认证的媒体播放器的标识信息。
在本发明实施例中, 可选地, 该第一内容列表的媒体内容条目的内容说 明包括能够播放该媒体内容条目且通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标 识信息。 例如, 在采用 CDS 的方法向用户显示第一内容列表时, 媒体服务 器可以将通过认证服务器认证的 MR的信息与 CDS中的内容信息进行匹配, 匹配通过认证服务器认证的 MR所能播放的内容条目, 对于每一个内容条 目, 若存在能播放该内容条目的 MR即有效 MR (每一个内容条目对应的有 效 MR可能是一个, 也可能是多个), 媒体服务器便可以将这些有效 MR作 为该内容条目的一个新增属性元素, 增加到该内容条目的的内容说明中, 即 媒体服务器可以在第一内容列表的媒体内容条目的内容说明中, 直接标注能 够播放该媒体内容条目且通过认证服务器认证的媒体播放器的标识信息。
具体而言, 例如, 可以对 CDS (Content Directory Service) 进行扩展, 在 CDS中的内容说明中新增一个名称为 possibleMediaRenderer的属性元素, possibleMediaRenderer表示可以播放该内容的通过认证服务器认证的 MR, 其示例如下所示:
<contentl>
<item sourceID="0000000000000010">
