Detailed Description
The invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.
In view of the above technical problems, the present embodiment adds a network element in an IPTV service system: the reservation plan management server is used for processing a reservation recording plan of a user, and meanwhile, the IPTV service system further supports the reservation of the terminal in a mode of continuously broadcasting programs (such as drama serials, art programs and the like), and automatically adds a new single set reservation plan after a new single set of the continuously broadcasting programs is added subsequently.
In this embodiment, a program reservation method is provided, and fig. 1 is a flowchart of a program reservation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following steps:
step S102, a reservation plan management server receives reservation of the STB for continuously broadcasting programs, wherein the reservation plan management server is positioned at a network side;
step S104, the reservation plan management server instructs the STB to add the list set of the continuously broadcast programs in the program list of the service database into the reservation plan;
step S106, the reservation plan management server periodically detects whether a list set of the continuously broadcast programs is added in the program list;
and step S108, in the case that the detection result is yes, the reservation plan management server instructs the STB to add the newly added single set into the reservation plan.
In the embodiment, through the above steps, the reservation plan management server on the network side receives the reservation for the continuously broadcast program from the STB, the reservation plan management server firstly adds the list set of the continuously broadcast program in the existing program list into the reservation plan of the STB, then, the reservation plan management server periodically detects whether a list set of the continuously broadcast programs is added to the program list, if so, the subscription plan management server adds the added singlets to the subscription plan of the STB, therefore, the existing list set of the current program list in the continuously broadcast program is reserved, the list set of the continuously broadcast program which is not added into the program list is reserved, the problem that an IPTV system in the related technology can only record the program in the existing program list is solved, the service types are increased, and the user experience is improved.
As a preferred embodiment, the user may select a mode for reserving the continuous broadcast program, but there is a possibility that a reservation conflict may occur due to restrictions of the user's authority, bandwidth, storage capacity, and the like. At this time, the reservation plan management server may first obtain a list set of continuously broadcasted programs in the program list according to a reservation mode set by the user, then determine whether the obtained list set of continuously broadcasted programs has a reservation conflict, and if the reservation conflict does not exist, the reservation plan management server may instruct the STB to add the list set of continuously broadcasted programs into its reservation plan; if the reservation conflict exists, the reservation plan management server can instruct the STB to still add the single set of the continuously broadcast program into the reservation plan, but because of the permission conflict, the state of the single set can be set to a non-recording state, for example, when the continuous play set is automatically added due to the change of the program list in the background, if the capacity conflict exists, the single set can be automatically set to a non-recording state, because the single set is automatically added according to the recording rule preset by the user, and the user intervention can be not needed; alternatively, in the event of a reservation conflict, the reservation plan management server may also ask the user of the STB whether to confirm the recording, ignore the reservation plan if the user chooses not to record, and instruct the STB to still add the episode of the continuously broadcast program to the reservation plan if the user still chooses to record, but may set the state of the episode to a state of no recording due to the conflict in the user's permissions. That is, in the event that there is a reservation conflict, the singleton may be added to the reservation plan, but recording cannot occur. By the method, the reservation requirement of the user can be met, and the recording of the list set is realized after the user solves the permission conflict. For example, when other single sets which can not be recorded due to conflict are not recorded under the intervention of a user, the occupied capacity of the single sets is released, the reservation server can do conflict calculation again at this time, and if the residual capacity is enough to record the single sets which cannot be recorded, the single sets can be revived, namely the single sets are converted into the recording state from the non-recording state; in summary, the "no recording" status may be set for reviving after the late reservation plan is changed.
Preferably, in consideration of different user preferences, the reservation mode selectable by the user may include at least one of the following four modes: a first mode (which may be referred to as "record first broadcast only", "first-run" mode) that may be used to instruct the reservation plan management server to record only the episode of the first broadcast of the continuously broadcast program in the program; a second mode (which may be referred to as a "record first run or rebroadcast" or "re-run" mode) for indicating that the reservation plan management server may record a episode of the series of first runs or rebroadcasts in the program; a third mode (which may be referred to as "recording only on this channel", "record on this channel" mode) for instructing the reservation plan management server to record only a single set of continuously broadcast programs on the channel of the program list on which the reservation was initiated; a fourth mode (which may be referred to as an "all channels recording" or "record on all channels" mode) for instructing the schedule management server to record a single set of the continuously broadcast programs on all channels in the program schedule that the STB user has permission to view.
Preferably, in the case that the reservation mode is the fourth mode (i.e., "all channels recording" mode), since there may be a single episode of the continuously broadcast program on a plurality of channels, to avoid conflict, the reservation plan management server may first acquire the single episode of the continuously broadcast program in the program on the channel initiating the reservation, and if the serial number of the single episode of the continuously broadcast program acquired on the channel initiating the reservation is not complete, the reservation plan management server may acquire the single episode missing the continuously broadcast program on all other channels except the channel initiating the reservation that the user of the STB has permission to view. By the method, the user can record all the list sets of the continuously broadcast programs, and can preferentially record the latest list set, so that the user experience is improved.
Preferably, the reservation plan management server may preferentially acquire the missing singlets of the first-played continuous broadcast program when acquiring the missing singlets of the continuous broadcast program on all channels that the user of the STB has permission to view except the channel from which the reservation was initiated. In this way, the user can finish recording the program as soon as possible.
For example, the user initiates a reservation for the three kingdoms singing on the first central channel, but 10 sets of the three kingdoms singing on the first central channel are already broadcast, when the reservation mode selected by the user is the fourth mode, the reservation plan manager firstly acquires all the singles of the three kingdoms singing from the 11 th set on the first central channel, and because the singles are 1 to 10 absent, the reservation plan management server searches whether the 1 to 10 sets of the three kingdoms singing are broadcast on other channels which the user has permission to watch, and selects the 1 to 10 sets of the three kingdoms singing which are broadcast firstly for recording.
Corresponding to the above method, the present embodiment further provides a program reservation apparatus, which is located in a reservation plan management server on a network side, and is used to implement the foregoing embodiment and the preferred embodiment, which have already been described and are not described again.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a location of a subscription server in a system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 6, the subscription server may be located between a front-end processor on a network side and a service database.
Secondly, when the user initiates a recording reservation on the terminal, the reservation is supported in a mode of continuously broadcasting a program (hereinafter, the continuously broadcasting program is described as an example), and the reservation can be selected to record only a first-run or record the first-run or a re-run, or to record only the channel (record on this channel) or all channels (record all channels), and a recording request is sent to the reservation server for processing.
Then, when receiving the recording reservation request of the user in the continuous mode, the reservation server processes the series play set of the existing program list according to the user setting mode:
reserved recording head, replay mode: if the user selects first-run, the reservation server only searches the user-specified series single set in the first broadcast to make a reservation, and the single set after the first broadcast is finished is not processed; if the user selects first-run & re-run, the reservation server firstly searches a user-specified series single set in the first broadcast for reservation, if the first broadcast has already played the single set, the reservation server searches whether a replay exists, and if the replay exists, the reservation server searches the single set reservation that the first broadcast single set fails to reserve in the replay single set;
a reserved recording channel mode: if the user selects the record on this channel, the reservation server only searches the user-specified continuous play set in the channel initiating the reservation to make the reservation, and the unaligned continuous play set is not processed; if the user selects record all channels, the reservation server firstly searches the user-specified series menu set on the channel to make a reservation, and searches the non-searched series menu set on the channel which the user has the right to watch, wherein the first broadcast is the best.
And the reservation server synchronizes the result to the STB after processing the judgment of the related reservation conflict.
Then, the reservation server checks whether the service database has the update of the series playbill set for the user in a series mode, such as daily morning check or timing according to the update time and frequency of the local point program list. When the reservation server finds that the series reserved by the user has a new single set added, the reservation server processes reservation conflict of the new single set, adds the conflict-free new single set into the reservation plan of the user and informs the STB that the reservation plan is updated.
Fig. 7 is a schematic processing flow diagram of series reservation according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 7, the processing flow of series reservation includes the following steps:
step S702, the STB initiates a series reservation;
step S704, after receiving the reservation, the reservation server queries a service DataBase (DataBase, abbreviated as DB) for the single episode of the series playscript;
step S706, DB inquires the list set;
step S708, the DB returns the result of inquiring the reservation list set to the reservation server;
step S710, the reservation server judges the reservation conflict of the inquired result of the reservation list set;
step S712, the reservation server updates the reservation result determined after the reservation conflict judgment to DB;
step S714, the reservation server notifies the STB to update the reservation plan;
step S716, the IPTV portal updates the program list;
step S718, the reservation server detects whether the program list is updated at the specified periodic time;
step S720, the reservation server detects that the program list is updated and acquires the updated program list from the DB;
step S722, the DB returns the updated program list to the reservation server;
step S724, the reservation server makes reservation processing on the newly added list set of the series play;
step S726, the reservation server updates the reservation result to DB;
step 728, the reservation server notifies the STB to update the reservation plan;
in step S730, the STB records.
