Method and system for hotel room internet film and television on demand

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for hotel room internet film and television on demand. The method comprises the following steps: a center server periodically issues a film and television on-demand content through a network; a hotel image (buffer) server is connected with the center server and other image (buffer) servers so as to update the film and television on-demand content through a point-to-point technology and form an on-demand list; and the hotel image server is configured in a hotel, and is connected with a user terminal through a high-speed local area network for receiving an on-demand service request of the user terminal. According to the invention, local on-demand is realized through synchronizing the film and television on-demand content of the center server by the hotel image server, and the direction of an on-demand address is switched between the hotel image server and the center server, thus saving bandwidth and improving user experience.
