具体实施方式detailed description
下面通过具体实施方式结合附图对本发明作进一步详细说明。The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
实施例一：Embodiment 1:
本实提供一种频道管理方法，阐述在完成频道管理时，管理侧执行的步骤请参考图1，包括：The present invention provides a channel management method, and describes the steps performed by the management side when completing channel management, please refer to FIG. 1, including:
S101：向用户侧下发控制信息。S101: Send control information to the user side.
向用户侧下发的控制信息中包括对频道进行播放控制的预设时间参数管理条件，为了实现对观看频道进行管理，可以根据用户需求设置多种预设时间参数管理条件，该预设时间参数管理条件可以包括：频道的观看总时长、单一频道的连续观看时长和频道的观看时段中的至少一个。例如，为了限制少儿只能观看1小时的少儿节目，我们知道即使是少儿频道也会有众多，所以将所有该用户能获取到的少儿频道的观看总时长不超过1小时就是对频道进行播放控制的预设时间参数管理条件；为了保护少儿的眼睛健康，避免长时间连续观看，也可以将预设时间参数管理条件设置成对某个频道的连续观看时长不超过某一固定时长，例如2小时；另外，也可以设置在某段时间内不允许观看，例如，希望少儿在中午12点到2点钟能够午休，不管看电视，则可以将12:00-14:00这个时间段设置为对频道进行播放控制；上述举例中的各种时长或时段也可以根据需求灵活设置。当然，该预设时间参数管理条件还可以包括其他条件(例如：指定某些频道在某个时间段不允许观看)，用于作为是否需要对频道进行控制的依据，控制信息中的预设条件可以包含一种也可以同时包含多种，多种的条件还可以进行逻辑组合，上述的变化都在本发明的保护范围之内。The control information sent to the user side includes preset time parameter management conditions for playing control of the channel. In order to manage the viewing channel, a plurality of preset time parameter management conditions may be set according to user requirements, and the preset time parameter is configured. The management condition may include at least one of a total viewing time of the channel, a continuous viewing time of the single channel, and a viewing period of the channel. For example, in order to limit the number of children's programs that children can only watch for one hour, we know that even there are many children's channels, so the total viewing time of all the children's channels that can be obtained by this user is less than one hour. The preset time parameter management condition; in order to protect the eye health of children and avoid long-term continuous viewing, the preset time parameter management condition may also be set such that the continuous viewing time of a certain channel does not exceed a fixed duration, for example, 2 hours. In addition, it can also be set to not allow viewing for a certain period of time. For example, I hope that children can take a lunch break from 12 noon to 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Regardless of watching TV, the time period from 12:00 to 14:00 can be set to The channel performs playback control; the various durations or time periods in the above examples can also be flexibly set according to requirements. Certainly, the preset time parameter management condition may further include other conditions (for example, specifying that certain channels are not allowed to be viewed in a certain period of time), as a basis for controlling whether the channel needs to be controlled, and a preset condition in the control information. The conditions may be one or more, and a plurality of conditions may be logically combined, and the above variations are all within the scope of the present invention.
S102：接收用户侧上报的频道播放的时间监控信息。 S102: Receive time monitoring information of channel play reported by the user side.
若该时间监控信息包括：根据所述时间参数管理条件对应需要采集的实际频道观看时间参数，该实际频道观看时间参数为根据预设时间参数管理条件对各个观看频道进行监控得到的时间监控信息。当预设时间参数管理条件为频道的观看总时长，则该实际频道观看时间参数为各频道的观看时长；当预设时间参数管理条件为单一频道的连续观看时长，则该实际频道观看时间参数为各频道的观看时长；当预设时间参数管理条件为频道的观看时段，则该实际频道观看时间参数为各频道的观看时刻。例如，当采用上述实例中限制少儿只能观看1小时的少儿节目，使用对少儿频道观看时长不超过1小时作为预设时间参数管理条件，则此时，该实际频道观看时间参数就是各频道的观看时长。当采用上述对某频道连续观看时长不超过2小时作为对频道进行播放控制的预设时间参数管理条件，此时，该实际频道观看时间参数就是各频道的观看时长。当采用上述将12:00-14:00这个时间段内不允许观看某一频道或者所有频道作为对频道进行播放控制的预设时间参数管理条件，则此时该实际频道观看时间参数就是各个频道的观看时刻。If the time monitoring information includes: an actual channel viewing time parameter that needs to be collected according to the time parameter management condition, the actual channel viewing time parameter is time monitoring information obtained by monitoring each viewing channel according to the preset time parameter management condition. When the preset time parameter management condition is the total viewing duration of the channel, the actual channel viewing time parameter is the viewing duration of each channel; and when the preset time parameter management condition is the continuous viewing duration of the single channel, the actual channel viewing time parameter For the viewing time of each channel; when the preset time parameter management condition is the viewing period of the channel, the actual channel viewing time parameter is the viewing time of each channel. For example, when the child program in which the child can only watch for 1 hour is used, and the viewing time of the child channel is less than 1 hour as the preset time parameter management condition, the actual channel viewing time parameter is the channel. Watch time. When the continuous viewing time of a channel is not more than 2 hours as the preset time parameter management condition for playing control of the channel, the actual channel viewing time parameter is the viewing time of each channel. When the above-mentioned time period of 12:00-14:00 is not allowed to view a certain channel or all channels as a preset time parameter management condition for playing control of the channel, the actual channel viewing time parameter is the respective channel at this time. Watching moments.
另外，对于获取该时间监控信息可以根据预先设定的时间周期，每隔固定时长接收一次，例如，每隔5分钟接收一次；其次，为了更准确的监控频道观看情况，还可以在周期接收的基础上设定当发生切换频道的时候也会接收该时间监控信息。In addition, the time monitoring information can be received once every fixed time period according to a preset time period, for example, every 5 minutes; secondly, in order to more accurately monitor the channel viewing situation, it can also be received in a period. Based on the setting, the time monitoring information is also received when the switching channel occurs.
若该时间监控信息包括：对实际频道观看时间参数进行统计分析的结果满足所述预设时间参数管理条件时，生成的频道锁定请求；该频道锁定请求为将根据预设时间参数管理条件对各个观看频道进行监控得到的实际频道观看时间参数进行处理后产生的控制请求，该处理过程在用户侧完成，包括对实际频道观看时间参数根据预设时间参数管理条件进行统计分析，将统计分析的结果与预设时间参数管理条件进行对比，判断是否满足预设 时间参数管理条件，当满足时，生成该频道锁定请求。If the time monitoring information includes: a channel lock request generated when the result of the statistical analysis of the actual channel viewing time parameter satisfies the preset time parameter management condition; the channel locking request is to be based on the preset time parameter management condition The control request generated after the actual channel viewing time parameter obtained by monitoring the channel is processed, the processing is completed on the user side, and the actual channel viewing time parameter is statistically analyzed according to the preset time parameter management condition, and the result of the statistical analysis is performed. Compare with preset time parameter management conditions to determine whether the preset is met The time parameter management condition, when satisfied, generates the channel lock request.
S103：根据时间监控信息产生并向用户侧下发频道锁定信号。S103: Generate and send a channel lock signal to the user side according to the time monitoring information.
根据监控信息产生并向用户侧下发锁定信号包括根据监控信息产生锁定信号和将产生的锁定信号下发给用户侧。当在步骤S102中接收到的时间监控信息包括各个频道的实际频道观看时间参数时，根据时间监控信息产生并向用户侧下发频道锁定信号的过程如下：Generating a lock signal according to the monitoring information and transmitting the lock signal to the user side includes generating a lock signal according to the monitoring information and transmitting the generated lock signal to the user side. When the time monitoring information received in step S102 includes the actual channel viewing time parameter of each channel, the process of generating a channel locking signal according to the time monitoring information and transmitting the channel locking signal to the user side is as follows:
对实际频道观看时间参数进行统计分析，其中统计分析过程包括：当预设时间参数管理条件为频道的观看总时长，实际频道观看时间参数为各频道的观看时长，其中统计过程包括对各个频道的观看总时长进行计算，值得注意的是“各个频道”为预设时间参数管理条件中包括的频道；例如，使用对少儿频道观看时长不超过1小时作为预设时间参数管理条件，少儿频道可能包括一个或者多个，此时，进行统计时只统计预设时间参数管理条件中包含的所有频道所对应的观看总时长。当预设时间参数管理条件为单一频道的连续观看时长，实际频道观看时间参数为各频道的观看时长；其中统计过程包括对各个频道的连续观看时长进行统计，同理，此处的“各个频道”为预设时间参数管理条件中包括的频道。当预设时间参数管理条件为频道的观看时段，实际频道观看时间参数为各频道的观看时刻，其中统计过程包括对各个频道的观看时刻进行统计，同理，此处的“各个频道”为预设时间参数管理条件中包括的频道。Performing statistical analysis on the actual channel viewing time parameter, wherein the statistical analysis process includes: when the preset time parameter management condition is the total viewing time of the channel, and the actual channel viewing time parameter is the viewing duration of each channel, wherein the statistical process includes The total duration is calculated. It is worth noting that “each channel” is the channel included in the preset time parameter management condition; for example, the viewing time of the juvenile channel is less than 1 hour as the preset time parameter management condition, and the juvenile channel may include One or more. At this time, only the total viewing duration corresponding to all channels included in the preset time parameter management condition is counted when performing statistics. When the preset time parameter management condition is the continuous viewing duration of the single channel, the actual channel viewing time parameter is the viewing duration of each channel; wherein the statistical process includes counting the continuous viewing duration of each channel, and similarly, the “each channel” here "The channel included in the condition is managed for the preset time parameter. When the preset time parameter management condition is the viewing period of the channel, the actual channel viewing time parameter is the viewing time of each channel, wherein the statistical process includes counting the viewing time of each channel, and similarly, the “each channel” here is a pre- Set the channel included in the time parameter management condition.
完成对实际频道观看时间参数进行统计分析之后，将该统计分析的结果与预设时间参数管理条件进行比对判断该统计分析结果是否满足所述预设时间参数管理条件，当满足预设时间参数管理条件的时候，产生并向用户侧下发频道锁定信号。例如，使用对所有少儿频道观看时长不超过1小时作为预设时间参数管理条件，统计结果为观看所有少儿频道的总时长为1小时1分钟，此时，就满足了该预设时间参数管理条件，产生并向用户侧 下发频道锁定信号。如果判断不满足，则不下发频道锁定信号。After performing statistical analysis on the actual channel viewing time parameter, comparing the statistical analysis result with the preset time parameter management condition to determine whether the statistical analysis result satisfies the preset time parameter management condition, and when the preset time parameter is met When the condition is managed, a channel lock signal is generated and sent to the user side. For example, if the viewing time of all the children's channels is less than 1 hour as the preset time parameter management condition, the statistical result is that the total duration of viewing all the children's channels is 1 hour and 1 minute, and at this time, the preset time parameter management condition is satisfied. Generated and directed to the user side The channel lock signal is issued. If the judgment is not satisfied, the channel lock signal is not issued.
若在步骤S102中接收到的时间监控信息包括：对实际频道观看时间参数进行统计分析的结果满足所述预设时间参数管理条件时，生成的频道锁定请求，当收到该锁定信号证明用户侧已经达到临界条件，管理侧只需要产生并向用户侧下发频道锁定信号即可。The time monitoring information received in step S102 includes: when the result of the statistical analysis of the actual channel viewing time parameter satisfies the preset time parameter management condition, the generated channel locking request, when receiving the locking signal, proves that the user side The critical condition has been reached, and the management side only needs to generate and send a channel lock signal to the user side.
S104：接收用户侧的解锁验证信息并核对所述解锁验证信息是否正确，若是，则执行步骤S105。S104: Receive unlocking verification information of the user side and check whether the unlocking verification information is correct. If yes, execute step S105.
向用户侧下发了频道锁定信号后，可能会接收到用户侧上报的解锁验证信息，该解锁验证信息包括用户提供的解锁信息，该解锁信息用来解除当前对频道的锁定，在管理侧保存有各个用户正确的解锁信息，在接收到解锁验证信息后，会将用户提供的解锁信息与管理侧保存的正确的解锁信息进行比对看起是否是正确的解锁信息，如果比对结果为是，则执行S105，若不是，则保持对对应频道的锁定。After the channel lock signal is sent to the user side, the unlocking verification information reported by the user side may be received. The unlocking verification information includes unlocking information provided by the user, and the unlocking information is used to unlock the current channel, and is saved on the management side. The correct unlocking information of each user is obtained. After receiving the unlocking verification information, the unlocking information provided by the user is compared with the correct unlocking information saved by the management side to see if it is the correct unlocking information. If the comparison result is yes. Then, S105 is executed, and if not, the lock on the corresponding channel is maintained.
S105：向用户侧下发解锁信号。S105: Send an unlock signal to the user side.
管理侧将用户提供的解锁信息与自身保存的该用户的信息比对得到结果后，如果比对结果是用户提供的解锁信息是正确的解锁信息，就会向用户侧下发解锁信号，该解锁信号表示可以解除当前对节目的锁定。After the management side compares the unlock information provided by the user with the information of the user saved by the user, if the comparison result is that the unlock information provided by the user is the correct unlocking information, the unlocking signal is sent to the user side, and the unlocking is performed. The signal indicates that the current lock on the program can be released.

For example, the prompt interface can be displayed, and if you want to continue watching, please input the unlock information. You can also display a variety of tips full of human care, etc., no more explanation here.
在频道锁定之后，若用户希望继续观看锁定的频道，则需要对该频道进行解锁，此时会向管理侧上报解锁验证信息，该解锁验证信息里面包含用户侧提供的解锁信息，在管理侧保存有各个用户正确的解锁信息，在接收到解锁验证信息后，会将用户提供的解锁信息与管理侧保存的正确的解锁信息进行比对看起是否是正确的解锁信息，如果比对结果判断出该解锁信息是正确的解锁信息，就会向用户侧下发解锁信号，表示可以解除当前对节目的锁定，用户接收到该解锁信号后就可以完成对当前频道锁定的解除，在下一个锁定周期到达时可以继续自由观看。After the channel is locked, if the user wants to continue to watch the locked channel, the channel needs to be unlocked. In this case, the unlocking verification information is reported to the management side, and the unlocking verification information includes the unlocking information provided by the user side, and is saved on the management side. The correct unlocking information of each user is obtained. After receiving the unlocking verification information, the unlocking information provided by the user is compared with the correct unlocking information saved by the management side to see if it is the correct unlocking information. If the comparison result is judged, The unlocking information is the correct unlocking information, and the unlocking signal is sent to the user side, indicating that the current locking of the program can be released. After receiving the unlocking signal, the user can complete the unlocking of the current channel and arrive in the next locking period. You can continue to watch freely.
另外，如果用户没有提供解锁信息或者提供的解锁信息是不正确的， 那么会保持锁定状态，运营商在设计的时候可以根据需要设定更新时间，每当到达更新时间就自动解除锁定，例如，将更新周期设置为每天，那么如果无论有没有提供正确的解锁信息，只要新的一天到达，都会自动执行解锁，用户又可以随意观看任何频道，并再重复上述整个过程。In addition, if the user does not provide the unlock information or the provided unlock information is incorrect, Then it will remain locked. The operator can set the update time according to the needs when designing. It will be unlocked automatically whenever the update time is reached. For example, if the update cycle is set to daily, then if the correct unlock information is provided, As soon as the new day arrives, the unlock will be automatically performed, and the user can watch any channel at will and repeat the above process.
