Description

Business guide synchronization method and system

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method and system for synchronizing service guides. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A mobile TV is a technology for watching audio and video including a television using a mobile phone. The user can obtain program information of the mobile TV through an SG (Service Guide) provided by the mobile TV service platform. The SG provided by the mobile TV service platform is generated based on the service information such as channels, packages, and programs synchronized by the content providing platform. The SG is regenerated after each synchronization of the business information, so that the end user can obtain the latest business guide. The method for synchronizing and generating the service guide is as follows: (1) After receiving the synchronization message, the service synchronization device synchronizes the service information that needs to be synchronized carried in the message to the database according to a predetermined rule, and the service synchronization device will be successful regardless of whether the service is completely synchronized successfully. Notifying all SG generating devices to regenerate the SG by the message distribution device; (2) After receiving the message sent by the service synchronization device, all the SG generating devices start to preempt the database and the magnetic array resources, and firstly grab the resource generating device A. Set the state of the corresponding resource to the locked state, and set the time point at which to start locking the resource, and then start to verify the accuracy of the data in the database through the data detecting device. After the verification, start to take the database data to the memory to generate the SG file according to the predetermined specification, and write After the shared magnetic array is entered, the resource lock state is released after the SG is completed, and the other SG generating device is notified by the message distribution device to update the SG for the SG generated by itself. During the generation of the SG by the generating device A, the generating device B that has not preempted the resource will continuously detect the resource lock state through the timer device, and will not end the detection if it receives the updated SG message sent by the other generating device. To generate the SG, only the SG in the memory is updated to the SG information carried in the message; if it is detected that the resource lock is released before the update SG message is received, or the time interval between the resource lock and the lock exceeds the set duration, The generating device B performs the operation of the generating device A, and also generates the SG. With the increase in the number of cities that have opened mobile TV services, the amount of data for generating all city business guides is getting larger and larger, and the generation time is getting longer and longer. At present, nearly 400 cities in the country have opened mobile TV services, so many cities have business. The guide updates are serially synchronized and generated. Concurrent synchronization and generation are not supported. As a result, the time from the ESG synchronization to the actual delivery of the service guide update to the terminal is longer and the user experience is poor. In addition, the serial synchronization method will also cause some of the service guide information sent from the ESG to be not synchronized in time, resulting in data loss. Moreover, in the process of generating the SG, the generation server may also handle services such as synchronization, terminal requesting SG, and the like. According to the existing processing method, because the generating device that has already seized the resource locks the resource for too long, causing the resource such as the database, the disk, and the memory to be blocked, delaying the response of the server to the user, or not responding to the user request, even worse, even The SG is correctly generated, resulting in the SG being incorrectly acquired by the user so that the correct program cannot be viewed, which seriously affects the user experience. In view of the problem that the SG obtained by the user in the related art is incorrect and the correct program cannot be viewed, an effective solution has not been proposed yet.
