Description

Offset correction method and device for current playlist of smart television

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of televisions, in particular to an offset correction method and device for a current playlist of an intelligent television.

Background

With the increasing number of smart television users, the demand of the users for video functions is more and more strong. The on-demand content which is widely applied at present cannot meet the increasing video demand of users, and the video demand of the live broadcast or carousel function is gradually increased. Given that the resources of real-time media stream data (e.g., video stream) of a live broadcast or a carousel are limited, which may be generally sourced from a plurality of program source servers distributed in different geographies, when a smart tv user actively selects a certain channel to play, the smart tv carousel application will obtain the corresponding real-time media stream data from the different program source servers. Compared with the on-demand function, the live broadcast or carousel function of the smart television has higher requirements on the real-time performance of the streaming media data, and especially has higher requirements when watching real-time program contents such as sports event rebroadcasting and the like.

In the prior art, a slice file of a live video stream or a carousel video stream needs to be transmitted to a smart television via an HTTP network for playing, during which, transmission time delay generated during network transmission and playing time delay generated in abnormal playing situations such as playing pause during playing are caused. For example, two smart tvs simultaneously play the same channel, such as a real-time "football game" program. After a certain time, the playing schedules of the two televisions may deviate to different degrees, and especially the deviation degree may be larger as the playing time is prolonged. Meanwhile, the two television broadcast contents may have great deviation from the current real-time code stream of the program source server, so that the user watches the live game information no longer in real time but the game information a few minutes ago.

Therefore, the prior art cannot ensure that the current live video streams of different smart televisions and the real-time code stream of the program source server keep a precise synchronous state, so that the experience of smart television users on live video streams with high real-time requirements cannot be met.

wherein, the first four rows represent coding modes; documents suffixed with ". ts" are slide documents such as "20160607T 084833-12-611075.ts," 20160607T084833-12-611076.ts, "and the like; each slice file is provided with the TIME stamp of the slice file, namely the character string at the beginning of EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME, for example, the TIME stamp corresponding to 20160607T084833-12-611075.ts is 2016-08-17T06:38:00Z, and the TIME stamp corresponding to 20160607T084833-12-611076.ts is 2016-08-17T06:38: 10Z. Other matters in the above examples do not relate to the gist of the present invention, and are not described in detail herein.

In this embodiment, after the smart television acquires the current playlist, the actual playing time corresponding to the slice file in the current playlist may be acquired, where the actual playing time refers to the actual time when the smart television plays the slice file. In this embodiment, the current time of the smart television may be used as the actual playing time of the slice file, and in consideration of the network transmission delay between the smart television and the program source server, the time of the network transmission delay is referred to as the synchronization time difference between the smart television and the program source server, so that the sum of the current time of the smart television and the synchronization time difference may also be used as the actual playing time of the slice file. For example, the current time of the smart television is 10:10:20, and the synchronization time difference is 5 seconds, then the actual playing time is 10:10: 25.

As an embodiment, a method for acquiring a synchronization time difference between a local computer and a program source server by an intelligent television specifically includes that the intelligent television sends a request message to the program source server, and records a start time of sending the request message by the intelligent television; then receiving a response message returned by the program source server aiming at the request message, and recording the end time when the smart television receives the response message; and calculating the synchronous time difference between the intelligent television and the program source server according to the starting time and the ending time.

For example, if the local time t1 when the smart television sends the http request message to the program source server is 10:10:10, t1 is the start time; when the smart television receives the response message replied by the program source server, the local time t2 is 10:10:15, and then t2 is the end time; the synchronization time difference is the difference between the start time and the end time, i.e. t2-t1 is 5 seconds, then the synchronization time difference between the smart television and the program source server is 5 seconds. In practical applications, the time of the network transmission delay between the smart television and the program source server may be changed due to a change in the network state, and in order to obtain a more accurate synchronization time difference, the smart television may further average and calculate a final synchronization time difference according to the synchronization time differences calculated several times, or may also average and calculate a final synchronization time difference by weighting. The calculation method of the synchronization time difference is only an exemplary illustration, and is not limited in practical application.

Step 202, traversing the slice files in the current playlist and judging whether the current playlist has failed slice files according to the actual playing time corresponding to the slice files;

after the time playing time corresponding to the slice file is obtained, the smart television may traverse the slice file in the current play list according to the time playing time, as an embodiment, the current play list may include the slice file and a timestamp of the slice file, where the timestamp is effective playing time set for the slice file by the program source server. The smart television can further compare the time stamp of the slice file with the actual playing time, and if the time stamp of the slice file is earlier than the actual playing time, the slice file is a failed slice file.

For example, the actual playing time of the smart television is 10:10: 25; if the time stamp of the slice file is 10:10:15, the slice file is considered to be invalid because the time stamp 10:10:15 of the slice file is earlier than the actual playing time 10:10: 25; if the time stamp of the slice file is 10:10:35, the slice file is considered valid because the time stamp of the slice file is 10:10:35 later than the actual playing time 10:10: 25.

Since the current playlist in the prior art only contains the slice files and does not have timestamps corresponding to the slice files, the smart television cannot determine the effective playing time of the slice files in the current playlist after acquiring the current playlist, and therefore the current playlist can only be played according to the local current time, which results in that whether the slice files are invalid or not cannot be determined. Each slice file in the current play list has a corresponding time stamp, which can represent the effective play time of the slice file, so that the invalid slice file can be screened out by comparing the actual play time with the time stamp, and the offset correction of the video stream is realized. In addition, as the time stamp is set for the slicing file by the program source server, and the time stamps of the same slicing file received by different intelligent televisions are the same, the invention can ensure that the synchronous playing of the video can be realized by comparing the same time stamp by different intelligent televisions.

Step 203, if there is a failed slice file, deleting the failed slice file from the current playlist, and updating the tag value of the current playlist.

After the current playlist is traversed to obtain the failed slice file, the failed slice file can be deleted from the current playlist. Since the playlist changes after deleting the expired slice file, the tag value of the current playlist can be updated. The method and the device can correct the playing of the live video stream by deleting the invalid slice file, thereby ensuring the synchronous playing of the live video streams of different players and the program source server.

As an embodiment, the smart television updates a tag value of a current playlist, which mainly refers to updating an EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY tag in the playlist, where the tag is used to indicate different encodings of a slice file of the current playlist and a slice file of a previous playlist, and if the slice file of the current playlist changes, parameter values of the tag, such as encoding parameters, file formats, and other parameters, need to be reinitialized.

As an embodiment, in order to better correct the current playlist, an update flag may be added to the playlist, and the attribute of the update flag includes updated and non-updated, for example, 0 may be used to indicate updated and 1 may be used to indicate non-updated. After obtaining the current playlist, the channel proxy service layer may further determine whether the tag value of the current playlist needs to be updated according to the update flag of the previous playlist; for example, if the attribute value of the update flag is 0, the update is not necessary, and if the attribute value of the update flag is 1, the update is necessary. If the current playlist needs to be updated, the channel proxy service layer may update the tag value of the current playlist, and the update method of the tag value may refer to the tag value update method in the previous embodiment. After the tag value is updated, the attribute of the update flag may be set to be updated in the current playlist.

As an embodiment, a specific method for updating a tag is as follows:

Because the encoding mode of the media stream is not changed, the original encoding mode is still used; but a hop label needs to be added at the updated position: # EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY, and update flag is added: True/False, or 0/1, where True or 0 may represent updated and False or 1 may represent not updated; here, by way of example only, the update flag may be replaced by other indicia and may be placed elsewhere.

The updated playlist is as follows.

it can be seen that the updated playlist retains two slice files of 20160607T084833-12-611078.ts and 20160607T084833-12-611079.ts, an update mark "True" is added to the identifier at extinnf: 10.000 of the slice file to represent that the slice file is updated, and a jump tag "# EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY" is added before 20160607T084833-12-611078.ts to indicate that the slice file of the current playlist has changed to generate a slice file with a discontinuous timestamp, the parameter value of the tag needs to be reinitialized, if the jump tag is not added, a situation of flashing or instantaneous black screen due to discontinuous slice file occurs, so after the playlist is updated, the tag needs to be updated, thereby ensuring that the video is normally played.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following describes the solution of the present invention in detail with reference to fig. 3a and 3 b.

FIG. 3a is a flow chart of offset correction processing for a current playlist according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which includes;

step 301, acquiring a current play list from a program source server, and turning to step 302;

in this embodiment, the smart tv may obtain a current playlist from the program source server through an http request, where the current playlist is shown as playlist 1 in fig. 3b, where the current playlist includes a tag value and a slice file, i.e., TS files 1-6.

Step 302, judging whether the current playlist needs to be updated, if so, turning to step 303; if not, go to step 304;

the smart television judges whether the current playlist needs to be updated according to the update flag of the previous playlist, for example, when the update flag is 1, the current playlist needs to be updated, and when the update flag is 0, the current playlist does not need to be updated.

Step 303, updating the tag value of the current playlist, and turning to step 304;

when the updating is needed, the smart television can update the EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY label in the current playlist, and the parameter value of the label is initialized again.

Step 304, obtaining the actual playing time, and turning to step 305;

and when the updating is not needed, directly acquiring the synchronous time difference between the intelligent television and the program source server, and taking the sum of the synchronous time difference and the current time as the actual playing time. The synchronous time difference obtained by the intelligent television is assumed to be 5 seconds, and the current local time of the intelligent television is 2017-01-20T10:10: 20; the actual playing time of the slice file of the current playlist is 2017-01-20T10:10: 25.

Step 305, judging whether the slice file is invalid, if so, turning to step 306; if not, go to step 307;

each slice file in the current playlist has a corresponding timestamp, for example, as shown in table 1:

slice file	Time stamp
		1.ts	2017-01-20T10:10:00
2.ts	2017-01-20T10:10:10
		3.ts	2017-01-20T10:10:20
4.ts	2017-01-20T10:10:30
		5.ts	2017-01-20T10:10:40
6.ts	2017-01-20T10:10:50

TABLE 1

And comparing the actual playing time of the slice file with the time stamp of the actual playing time, wherein the slice file with the time stamp being earlier than the actual playing time is a failure slice file. For example, the timestamps of 1.ts, 2.ts, and 3.ts are 2017-01-20T10:10:00, 2017-01-20T10:10:10, 2017-01-20T10:10:20, respectively, earlier than the time play time 2017-01-20T10:10:25, so 1.ts, 2.ts, and 3.ts are invalid; and the time stamps of other slice files are not earlier than the playing time, and the slice files are effective.

Step 306, deleting the invalid slice file, updating the tag value of the current playlist, and ending;

the smart television deletes all the invalid slice files to obtain an updated playlist, as shown in the playlist 2 in fig. 3b, where the playlist 2 includes valid slice files, i.e. 4.ts, 5.ts, and 6. ts. While updating the tag value of the playlist.

And 307, analyzing the slice file for playing, and ending.

And analyzing the effective slice file for playing for the user to watch.

Therefore, the invention can achieve the purpose of approximately synchronizing the real-time video streams of different intelligent televisions with the program source server.

Based on the same conception, the invention also provides an offset correction device for the current play list of the intelligent television, which can be realized by software or hardware or a combination of the software and the hardware. Taking software implementation as an example, the offset correction device for the current playlist of the smart television is a logical device, and is formed by reading a corresponding computer program instruction in a memory and then operating through a CPU of a device where the offset correction device is located.
