The invention relates to a method for controlling
relay in alternative multi-view-point video flow media service, which belongs to the technical field of
multimedia data transmission. The method mainly comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out the
time synchronization between users and a
server, wherein the
server enables the users who watch the same view-point to build a view-point inner
overlay network, all the view-point inner
overlay networks together build an
overlay network between the view-points, when the users watch multi-view-point video programs, the equal overlay networks are added on the two levels,
key frame data in the multi-view-point programs is averagely divided into a plurality of
key frame data segments and are respectively transferred to audiences who watch the different view-points, all the audiences mutually exchanges the
key frame segments of their own, and the bandwidth spending of the
server during the transmission process is reduced according to the transmission condition of the current data. The method reduces the dependence to the bandwidth resource of the server during the view-point switching process according to the neighbor node bandwidth resources, reduces the intermediate section during the view-point switching process, speeds up the switching speed of the view-points, improves the
service quality and increases the watching experience of users.
