Playing on demand system for video

Abstract

The invention discloses a (hotel, community or family) video-on-demand system. The video-on-demand system comprises a center server, a node server and a user terminal, wherein the center server is used for storing video information; the node server is used for establishing communication with the center server through a network so as to obtain at least one part of the video information and generating a programme list according to the video information; the user terminal is used for reading the programme list and displaying the programme list through display equipment; and when a user orders a corresponding programme, the user sends a video-on-demand request to the node server, reads corresponding decoded video information and plays the information through the display equipment. In the video-on-demand system, as each (hotel, community or family) node server is connected with the center server through the wide area network, thereby realizing network operation of the whole video-on-demandsystem. The video-on-demand system can carry out programme distribution and management through the network, thereby making the distribution and management operation simple and feasible and also improving efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of video-on-demand, in particular to a video-on-demand system. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, most hotel video-on-demand systems are independently set up by each hotel, and the distribution of video programs needs to be copied manually through mobile storage devices. Very cumbersome. [0003] On the other hand, the transmission of video programs in the existing on-demand system is mostly based on P2P technology, which requires a storage device to be set on the last-level terminal playback device to read the program content from the upper-level device. In this way, The addition of storage devices greatly increases the cost. At the same time, due to the disordered way of P2P technology, it will lead to network congestion among network operators and slow down the overall download speed. [0004] In addition, in the existing network on-demand system, the video information itself is carried out in the f...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the prior art, most hotel video-on-demand systems are independently set up by each hotel, and the distribution of video programs needs to be copied manually through mobile storage devices. very cumbersome

[0003] On the other hand, the transmission of video programs in the existing on-demand system is mostly based on P2P technology, which requires a storage device to be set on the last-level terminal playback device to read the program content from the upper-level device. In this way, The addition of storage devices greatly increases the cost

At the same time, due to the disordered way of P2P technology, it will cause network congestion among network operators and cause the overall download speed to slow down.

[0004] In addition, in the existing network on-demand system, the video information itself is in the form of plain text without encryption. In this way, it can be copied arbitrarily during the process of storage and transmission, which is not conducive to the protection of copyright.
