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, the AHS streaming media and the downloading of the adaptive streaming media data code stream adopt the terminal-driven mode as an example for illustration. The method includes the following steps:

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

[0045] Assuming that the server generates media data streams of m qualities, m is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, and the qualities of these streams can be recorded as Q0, Q1, Q2, ..., Qm-1 respectively. Among them, Q0>Q1>Q2>...>Qm-1. The media data code 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 found in image 3 .

Abstract

Provided are a method, device and system for charging for a streaming media service. The method comprises: obtaining the quality price rates set for media data code streams of different qualities in the same streaming media content, the quality price rate of the code stream of each quality being determined by referring to the relationship between an actual price and a standard price of the data code stream of that quality, and the standard price being an actual price of a data code stream of a specific quality in the streaming media content; according to the quality of a downloaded code stream segment in each time segment in the process for broadcasting the streaming media content, and according to the quality price rate, determining a pay rate of broadcasting the streaming media content; according to the obtained pay rate and the standard price, obtaining an actual cost of a terminal to broadcast the streaming media content; and charging a user according to the actual cost. The charging method in the embodiments of the present 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] Currently, there are more and more streaming media services, such as online music, online video, digital TV, etc. The current billing methods for streaming media services are mainly: pricing for streaming media services of a specific quality, and users need to pay before using streaming media services. For example, users need to pay online for 5 For a fee of around RMB, you can then obtain a license to watch a specific high-definition movie, and then watch that movie. [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 ...
