Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, limited by the terminal's ability to process media data and network bandwidth conditions, the quality of service of streaming media is often not guaranteed in actual viewing, especially in an open Internet environment, there may often be delays, packet loss, transmission Phenomena such as bit errors occur
However, in the prior art, only the user's initial choice is considered when billing streaming media services, and this billing method is not flexible enough.

Embodiment 1

[0043] In this embodiment, AHS streaming media, and the download of adaptive streaming media data code stream adopts a terminal-driven mode as an example for description. The method includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S201: The server generates an AHS streaming media data code stream and an MPD file. The specific implementation of this step is described in the current 3GPP standard on the AHS technology, which is only briefly described here.

[0045] Assuming that the server generates media data streams of m different qualities, and m is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, the quality of these streams can be denoted as Q0, Q1, Q2,..., Qm-1, respectively. Among them, Q0>Q1>Q2>...>Qm-1. The media data stream of each quality is divided into n segments, where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, and the time lengths of these segments are T0, T1, T2,..., Tn-1. The generated code stream structure can be seen image 3 .

[0046] The generated MPD file can co...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides stream media service billing method, device and system. The method comprises the following steps: the quality price ratios set by media data code streams with different qualities of the same stream media content are acquired, the quality price ratio of the code stream of each quality is determined according to the relation between the real price and the standard price of the data code stream with the quality, and the standard price is the real price of the data code stream with a specific quality of the stream media content; according to the quality of the code stream segment downloaded within each time slice in the stream media content playback process, as well as the quality price ratio, the charge rate for playing the stream media content is determined; according to the obtained charge rate and the standard price, the actual cost for the terminal to play the stream media content is acquired; and billing is carried out for the user according to the actual cost. The billing method provided by the embodiment of the invention is more flexible.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of streaming media, and in particular relates to a charging method, device and system for streaming media services. Background technique [0002] At present, there are more and more streaming media services, such as online music, online video, and digital TV. The current billing method of streaming media services is mainly: pricing streaming media services of a specific quality, users need to pay first before using streaming media services, for example, users need to pay online before watching paid high-definition movies through online video sites5 With a fee of about RMB, you can get a license to watch a specific high-definition movie, and then watch the movie. [0003] However, limited by the terminal’s ability to process media data and network bandwidth conditions, streaming media service quality is often not guaranteed in actual viewing, especially in an open Internet environment, there may often be delays, pa...
