Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. . Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The media asset management method of the present invention can be used for media asset management of a broadcast control backend management platform. For convenience of description, the following embodiments take the media asset management of an interactive Internet TV IPTV backend management platform as a specific example to illustrate. It can be understood that this method can also be used in OTT or other broadcast control systems.

Figure 1 is one of the flow charts of a media asset management method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, it includes the following steps:

Step 110: Create a content provider list, which includes multiple content provider information.

Specifically, the products provided by the Content Provider (CP) include various media contents such as text, images, audio and video. In a broadcast control system, there are multiple content providers at the same time, and the content provided by different content providers is independent and different. The content provider list fields may include: unit name, unit abbreviation, unit ID, unit status, authorized operator, authorized platform, creation date, and creator ID. Among them, the unit status includes: enabled and inactive. The enabled unit can enter the following step 120. The inactive unit means that it is still in the unit qualification review state and cannot upload any media information. The authorized operator indicates which service provider the content provider's content has been authorized to. One content provider can authorize content to multiple service providers at the same time. China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom can all serve as service providers for broadcast control. Provide services to systems and end users. The authorized platform is the subordinate operating platform of the authorized operator. For example, the authorized operator is China Mobile and the authorized platform is Guizhou Mobile. Determining the authorized platform also determines the transmission format of the data. The preferred data will be distributed according to the C2 standard. transmission. The creation date is the date the content provider was added to the list. The creator can be the administrator of the broadcast control background management platform. The administrator can be one or more operators. The operator of the content is distinguished by the creator ID, and the responsibility is assigned to each person.

Step 120: Inject the first media asset information into the content providers in the content provider list.

Specifically, all content providers whose unit status is enabled in the content provider list can inject the first media asset information through the broadcast control background management platform. Optionally, the content provider logs in through the account and password given by the administrator. You can then modify it. After logging in to the broadcast control background management platform, you can upload relevant media information in the preset format. Content providers can only browse, upload, delete, and disable their own uploaded media information on the broadcast control background management platform.

Preferably, the first media asset information includes: title, program, medium, picture, column, and relationship according to a preset format. Among them, the title sequence is the basic introduction of the TV series or movie. A program is an episode of a movie or TV series. The medium is the specific video played under a certain episode of a movie or TV series. The pictures are stills, posters, and pictures of the program posted below. The relationship is the connection between different contents. For example, the relationship between the title and the program is an episode of a certain TV series.

In a preferred solution, step 120 also includes:

Determine whether the first media asset information meets the preset standards

If not, the first media asset information is arranged according to the preset standard.

Specifically, the preset standards can be formulated based on management needs and playback needs, such as whether the first media asset information is tagged, whether the copyright source is identified, whether restricted and exempt resources are identified, whether the information content is compliant, and if the initial first media information injected is The data does not meet the above preset standards and needs to be reorganized before use.

Step 130: Create a service provider list, which includes multiple service provider information.

Specifically, in the broadcast control service, the service provider (SP) is responsible for transmitting the media information provided by the content provider to the end user for visual display. The first media asset information of one content provider can be authorized to multiple service providers at the same time. The first media asset information of multiple content providers can be authorized to the same service provider. The first media asset information of a content provider can be authorized to multiple service providers at the same time. Licensed in whole or in part to service providers. The service provider list fields may include: unit name, unit abbreviation, unit ID, unit status, creation date, and creator ID. The status of the unit includes: enabled and inactive. The enabled unit can browse and manage authorized first media information on the broadcast control background management platform. The inactive unit means that it is still in the unit qualification review state and cannot perform any management or operation. . The creation date is the date the service provider was added to the list. The creator can be the administrator of the broadcast control background management platform. The administrator can be one or more operators. The operator of the content is distinguished by the creator ID, and the responsibility is assigned to each person.

Step 140: Determine whether to authorize the first media asset information to the service providers in the service provider list.

Specifically, after the content provider injects the first media asset information, each piece of content under the title, program, media, picture, and column of the first media asset information will generate a unique code. The method of authorizing the first media information to the service provider can be divided into partial authorization and full authorization.

When the first media asset information is partially authorized, multiple unique codes of the first media asset information that require partial authorization are associated with the service provider. After the authorization is passed, the service provider can assign the first media asset corresponding to the multiple unique codes. Media asset information management.

When the first media asset information is the full authorization method, the unit ID of the content provider can be directly associated with the service provider. After the association, the service provider can all the first media asset information under the unit ID of the content provider. to manage.

Step 150: If yes, generate second media asset information based on the first media asset information.

Specifically, after the service provider's unit status in the service provider list is enabled, optionally, the service provider enters the broadcast control background management platform according to the account and password provided by the administrator of the broadcast control background management platform, and uses the platform to , the service provider can browse and organize the authorized first media asset information.

Arrange the first media asset information into matching columns, set the display permissions and display order of the columns, and generate the second media asset information. In a specific example of an IPTV broadcast control system, when a user watches a program through a terminal device, it is displayed in the form of an Electronic Program Guide (EPG). Therefore, the first media information needs to be arranged according to the column position of the electronic program menu. The EPG can have multiple columns, and multiple programs can be associated under the columns. According to the content attributes of the EPG column, the title of the first media information is Associated with the relevant EPG column. Since the title of the play has been associated with media, pictures, programs, etc. in the related content, the title of the play is associated with the EPG column. The specific content under the EPG column is also associated. All authorized first After the association of media asset information is completed, second media asset information that can be displayed through EPG is generated.

Step 160: Send the second media asset information to the service provider platform.

Specifically, the service provider platform obtains the second media asset information and the permission to add, update and recycle the second media asset information. The service provider platform is a downstream platform of the broadcast control backend management platform. The service provider platform can manage the distributed second media asset information and control the EPG content that is ultimately displayed on the user terminal. Preferably, when the second media asset information is issued, the program list and the second media asset information are issued at the same time, and the program list includes the program play name and time of the second media asset information.

In a preferred solution, in order to prevent the service provider from performing misoperations on the downstream platform and causing problems on the EPG content display page, as shown in Figure 2, after step 120, it also includes:

Step 210: Create a special information list. The fields of the special information list include: information name, information ID, and information type.

After step 150 it also includes:

Step 220: Determine whether the information ID of the second media asset information is in the special information list;

If not, execute step 160.

Specifically, the information types include: columns, programs, titles and subsets, and the information ID of the special information is consistent with the unique code of the special information in the first media asset information. The information in the special information list is information that cannot be delivered temporarily. When it can be delivered, the information will be removed from the special information list.

Before sending the second media asset information, the information ID of the special information is compared with the information IDs of all the second media asset information in sequence, or the information ID of the second media asset information is compared with the information IDs of all the special information in sequence. Comparison. If the comparison results show the same information ID, the content under the information ID will not be delivered. Content under the message ID that does not appear in the special message list is delivered normally.

In another preferred solution, in order to manage and deliver special information more accurately, step 210 also includes:

The fields in the special information list also include the restriction type. Restriction types include: restriction on recycling, restriction on new addition, restriction on update.

After step 220, it also includes:

If the information ID of the second media asset information is in the special information list.

Configure the delivery attributes of the second media asset information according to the restriction type to generate the third media asset information.

Distribute third-party media information to the service provider platform.

Specifically, after step 220 is executed, if the information ID of the second media asset information belongs to the special information ID, the third media asset information is generated according to the restriction type and the second media asset information, and the third media asset information includes the second media asset The content of the information and the operation permissions. When the operation permissions are to limit recycling, the content of the second media information cannot be deleted through the service provider platform. In a specific example, when the column included in the third media information is the root column, the root column needs to be added to the special information list, and the restriction type is restricted recycling, because when the root column is accidentally deleted, all programs under the root column displayed by the user on the terminal device cannot be displayed normally. By adding a restriction type field to the field of the special information list, more refined and flexible management of media asset information that needs to be distributed but cannot be fully delegated for operation is achieved.

The media asset management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention creates a service provider list. After the content provider injects the media asset information, it first authorizes the media asset information to the corresponding service provider. The service provider can first authorize the media asset information on the background management platform. Operate and manage authorized media asset information so that the operation and management authority is clear. It is no longer necessary to select a service provider platform during the final delivery. This simplifies the media asset information delivery process and avoids errors in delivering information. By setting The restriction type of special information enables flexible delivery and management of media asset information with restricted permissions.
