Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a multimedia streaming service method and system.

Background

In the current live broadcast scenario, for example, in the link of optimizing streaming and playing, the http dns service has become indispensable, but the current live broadcast scenario all needs to integrate the http dns interface on the client (for example, the APP end and the Web end) so as to access the http dns server, which results in a large modification and development cost for the client.

Moreover, if the live broadcast platform is large and needs to access multiple commercial Content Delivery Networks (CDN), modification and development are required on the client for multiple times, and each modification and development process needs development version support, so that the release cost is high, and therefore, the integration of the http DNS interface on the client can increase the extra overhead of the client, especially the APP end, and also increase the burden of a low-configuration mobile phone user.

Aiming at the problem that the development cost and the maintenance cost on the client are higher due to the fact that the http dns interface is integrally arranged on the client in the existing multimedia streaming service method, an effective solution is not provided at present.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application provides a multimedia streaming service method and a multimedia streaming service system, which are used for at least solving the technical problem that the development cost and the maintenance cost on a client are higher due to the fact that an http dns interface is integrated on the client in the existing multimedia streaming service method.

According to an aspect of an embodiment of the present application, there is provided a multimedia streaming service system including: a source station; at least one edge node, said edge node communicatively coupled to said source station; at least one multimedia service device, said multimedia service device comprising an http dns interface, said multimedia service device for managing the playing of multimedia streams and requested access by http dns; at least one http dns service device for providing domain name resolution service.

According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present application, there is also provided a multimedia streaming service method, including: the multimedia streaming service system receives a request message sent by at least one terminal through an http dns interface of at least one multimedia service device; responding to the request message, the multimedia stream service system allocates a corresponding IP address to the at least one terminal.

According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present application, there is also provided a computer system, including: a processor; and a memory, connected to the processor, for providing instructions to the processor for processing the following processing steps: receiving a request message sent by at least one terminal through an http dns interface of at least one multimedia service device; and responding to the request message to allocate a corresponding IP address for the at least one terminal.

In the embodiment of the application, a multimedia streaming service system receives a request message sent by at least one terminal through an http dns interface of at least one multimedia service device in a manner of locally integrating the http dns interface in the multimedia service device; responding to the request message, the multimedia stream service system allocates a corresponding IP address to the at least one terminal.

It is easy to note that, since the multimedia service device is locally integrated with the http dns interface, the multimedia streaming service system, after receiving a media asset service request from a terminal through the http dns interface of at least one multimedia service device, allocates a corresponding IP address to the at least one terminal in response to the media asset service request, so as to implement media streaming between the terminal and the CDN source station.

Therefore, the purposes of reducing the development cost and the maintenance cost of the client are achieved, the client overhead is reduced, the technical effect of providing a simpler and more efficient HTTP DNS service for a user is achieved, and the technical problem that the development cost and the maintenance cost on the client are higher due to the fact that the http DNS interface is integrally arranged on the client in the existing multimedia stream service method is solved.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of this application and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

First, some terms or terms appearing in the description of the embodiments of the present application are applicable to the following explanations:

http dns service: the traffic scheduling solution based on the Http protocol and the domain name resolution replaces the existing DNS protocol based on UDP, the domain name resolution request is directly sent to the Http DNS server, and the problems of abnormal LocalDNS resolution and inaccurate traffic scheduling can be solved due to the bypassing of the LocalDNS of an operator.

And the media asset server refers to a media asset management server of a live broadcast platform and can uniformly manage the broadcast of live broadcast, a stream pushing address and the http dns request access.

The push flow may refer to a process of transmitting the content packaged in the acquisition stage to the server.

The pull stream may refer to a process in which a server has live content, establishes a connection with the server according to a protocol type (RTMP, RTP, RTSP, HTTP, or the like), receives data, and pulls the content.

A content delivery network CDN source station, for example, a live CDN source station, may be configured to receive and store a media stream sent by a media stream sending end, and a media stream receiving end may further pull the media stream from the CDN source station.

The CDN edge node may be, but is not limited to, a live CDN edge node, and may facilitate the terminal to access the CDN source station nearby, shorten a time delay for accessing the media stream, and improve efficiency of media stream transmission between the terminal and the CDN source station.
