Method and system for implementing stream medium service

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method and a system for realizing streaming media service in a network. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: streaming media content providing devices are classified as various grades according to service performance; a cache region in streaming media content consumption equipment is divided into different subregions, wherein, the playing time of streaming media content in a first subregion is longer than or equal to the minimum time for ensuring that the streaming media content consumption equipment plays continuously under the condition of network transmission; a streaming media content providing device, which is classified as grade one in service performance, is then requested for streaming media content in the first subregion; and streaming media content providing devices of other grades are requested for streaming media content in the other subregions. By applying the technical scheme provided by the invention, the quality of the streaming media service can be prevented from being affected by the instability of the streaming media content providing devices, and at the same time, the pressure on management of the streaming media content providing devices, such as a server terminal, can be dispersed effectively, so that the purpose of relieving the pressure on management and transmission of the server terminal can be achieved without affecting the quality of the streaming media service.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network communication, in particular to a method and system for realizing streaming media service in the network.
