[0071] In order to enable ordinary persons in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0072] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0073] In the related art, in the scenario of using a low-bandwidth content distribution network for streaming media data transmission, for the streaming media to be played that is currently needed to be played, usually after the user terminal obtains the streaming media data from the streaming media distribution device of the streaming media distribution node, it sends a verification request to the verification server, and the verification server can return the verification information of the streaming media to be played to the user terminal; after the user terminal obtains the verification information of the streaming media to be played, it uses the verification information of the streaming media to be played to verify the streaming media data obtained from the streaming media distribution device, obtains the verification result, and determines whether to play the streaming media data based on the verification result. It can be understood that the streaming media distribution node can be a node of the content distribution network, and the content distribution network can be a content delivery network (Content Delivery Network PCDN) network based on peer-to-peer (P2P), that is, a PCDN network.

[0074] Among them, the user terminal executes the verification information acquisition process of the streaming media to be played from the verification server only after obtaining the streaming media data of the streaming media to be played, which increases the delay in playing the streaming media data. Especially in the case of poor network environment, the delay in playing the streaming media data will be more serious, resulting in a poor streaming media playback experience for the user.

[0075] In view of the above problems, the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a streaming media playback method, and the application scenarios of the streaming media playback method include but are not limited to: in the distribution scenario of streaming media data based on the PCDN network, after determining the current streaming media to be played, the streaming media data to be played can be obtained; the verification information of the streaming media to be played is searched in the pre-cached verification information set, and the streaming media data to be played is verified according to the verification information of the streaming media to be played, and the verification result of the streaming media data to be played is obtained; when the verification result indicates that the streaming media data to be played has passed the verification, the streaming media data to be played is played. Among them, the verification information set includes the verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media in the play list associated with the user terminal. The verification information of the candidate streaming media that the user needs to play can be pre-cached, and when it is determined to play the current streaming media to be played, the streaming media to be played is directly verified according to the verification information of the pre-cached streaming media to be played, which saves the interaction process between the user terminal and the verification server, reduces the time consumption of playing after obtaining the streaming media data to be played, and improves the user's playback experience.

[0076] In order to implement the above-mentioned streaming media playback method, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a streaming media playback system. Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic architecture diagram of the streaming media playback system. Figure 1 As shown, the streaming media playing system 100 may include a user terminal 110, a streaming media distribution device 120, a verification server 130 and a streaming media server 140. The user terminal 110 is a terminal device used by the user to play streaming media data. The terminal device can play streaming media data through a streaming media application. The streaming media application can be an application specifically used to play streaming media, or a web application. More specifically, the terminal device can be a smart phone, a personal computer, or a tablet computer. The streaming media distribution device 120 is an electronic device of a streaming media data distribution node of a content distribution network. More specifically, the electronic device can be a smart phone, a personal computer, a tablet computer or a server. The verification server 130 is a server that provides verification information of streaming media. The streaming media server 140 is a server deployed by the service provider of the streaming media playing software.

[0077] The user terminal 110 establishes connections with the streaming media distribution device 120, the verification server 130 and the streaming media server 140 through the network to achieve streaming media playback. It should be understood that the verification server 130 and the streaming media server 140 can be a single server or a cluster formed by multiple servers, and the present disclosure does not limit the specific architecture of the verification server 130 and the streaming media server 140.

[0078] Figure 2is a flow chart of a streaming media playback method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the streaming media playing method can be applied to a user terminal, comprising the following steps:

[0079] Step S201, after determining the current streaming media to be played, obtaining the streaming media data to be played;

[0080] Step S202, searching the pre-cached verification information set for the verification information of the streaming media to be played, and verifying the streaming media data to be played according to the verification information of the streaming media to be played, to obtain the verification result of the streaming media data to be played;

[0081] The verification information set includes verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media in the playlist associated with the user terminal;

[0082] Step S203: When the verification result indicates that the streaming media data to be played has passed the verification, the streaming media data to be played is played.

[0083] In summary, the streaming media playback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can, after determining the streaming media to be played, the user terminal does not need to obtain the verification information of the streaming media to be played from the verification server, but instead searches for the verification information of the streaming media to be played in the pre-cached verification information set. During the streaming media playback process, the interaction process between the user terminal and the verification server is omitted, the time of the verification process before playing the streaming media data is saved, and the user's streaming media playback experience is improved; wherein, the pre-cached verification information set includes the verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media in the play list associated with the user terminal, which can reduce the number of interactions between the user terminal and the verification server, saving network resources, and computing power resources of the user terminal and the verification server.

[0084] The following Figure 2 The specific implementation methods of each step in the embodiment shown are described in detail:

[0085] In step S201, after determining the current streaming media to be played, the user terminal obtains the streaming media data to be played.

[0086] In the disclosed embodiments, the streaming media may be audio, video, or audio and video, and the streaming media data may be audio data, video data, or audio and video data. It can be understood that when the streaming media is audio, the streaming media data is audio data. The current streaming media to be played is the streaming media that needs to be played at the current moment.

[0087] In an optional implementation, after determining the current streaming media to be played, the process of the user terminal acquiring the streaming media data to be played may include: after determining the current streaming media to be played, the user terminal may send a streaming media data acquisition request to a streaming media distribution device, and the streaming media device acquisition request may include address information of the streaming media to be played; after receiving the streaming media data acquisition request, the streaming media distribution device may acquire the streaming media data to be played of the streaming media to be played according to the address information of the streaming media to be played in the streaming media data acquisition request, and send the streaming media data to be played to the user terminal, wherein the address information may be a uniform resource locator (Uniform Resource Locator, URL) of the streaming media.

[0088] In an optional implementation, the process of the user terminal determining the current streaming media to be played may include: determining the current streaming media to be played in response to a currently acquired streaming media playback operation, optionally, if the streaming media playback operation is a click operation on any candidate streaming media among multiple candidate streaming media associated with the user terminal, then the streaming media to be played includes the streaming media selected by the click operation; or, if the streaming media playback operation is a streaming media switching operation, the streaming media to be played is the streaming media that has not been played among the multiple candidate streaming media associated with the user terminal, wherein the multiple candidate streaming media associated with the user terminal may include: multiple candidate streaming media associated with a user account of the user terminal, the multiple candidate streaming media associated with the user account of the user terminal may be determined based on actual needs, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this, for example, the streaming media similar to the streaming media content with the highest playback frequency of the user account is determined as the multiple candidate streaming media associated with the user account of the user terminal; or, randomly selecting multiple streaming media that have been played by the user terminal within a historical period as the multiple candidate streaming media associated with the user account of the user terminal; the streaming media that has not been played among the multiple candidate streaming media may be: the candidate streaming media whose playback order is located after the last played candidate streaming media.

[0089] For example, if the streaming media is audio, the streaming media playback operation can be a click operation on any audio in the audio play list, wherein the play list includes multiple candidate audios associated with the user terminal, and the audio to be played is the audio selected from the multiple candidate audios by the click operation; if the streaming media is a short video, the streaming media playback operation can be a switching operation on the short video, for example, a swipe up operation, and the short video to be played is a short video that has not been played among the multiple candidate short videos associated with the user terminal.

[0090] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the user terminal plays streaming media through a streaming media application. After the streaming media application is started, the user terminal can obtain a playlist associated with the user terminal from a streaming media server in response to the operation of the streaming media application; further, the user terminal can send a second verification information acquisition request to the verification server according to the playlist, and the second verification information acquisition request is used to indicate the acquisition of verification information corresponding to the candidate streaming media in the playlist; according to the verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media in the playlist sent by the verification server, a verification information set is generated; wherein the playlist includes multiple candidate streaming media, and the second verification information acquisition request is used to instruct the verification server to obtain verification information corresponding to the candidate streaming media in the playlist. After the streaming media application for playing streaming media is run, multiple candidate streaming media that can be played by the user terminal can be obtained, and verification information corresponding to the multiple candidate streaming media can be obtained from the verification server, so that each time the candidate streaming media is played, the streaming media data can be directly verified according to the verification information of the pre-cached candidate streaming media, saving the processing time of the verification process before playing the streaming media data, and improving the user's streaming media playback experience.

[0091] In an optional embodiment, the process in which the user terminal obtains a playlist associated with the user terminal from the streaming server in response to the running operation of the streaming application may include: the user terminal may generate a playlist acquisition request based on the user account of the user terminal in response to the running operation of the streaming application, and send the playlist acquisition request to the streaming server. The streaming server may obtain multiple candidate streaming media associated with the user account of the user terminal based on the user account in the playlist acquisition request, and obtain the playlist associated with the user terminal.

[0092] In an optional embodiment, the process of the user terminal sending a second verification information acquisition request to the verification server according to the playlist may include: generating a second verification information acquisition request according to all candidate streaming media in the playlist, and sending the second verification information acquisition request to the verification server; then the process of the user terminal generating a verification information set according to the verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media in the playlist sent by the verification server may include: receiving verification information corresponding to all candidate streaming media in the playlist sent by the verification server, and generating a verification information set according to the verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media. When the streaming media application is started, the verification information of all candidate streaming media associated with the user terminal can be obtained at one time. When the candidate streaming media needs to be played, the user terminal can directly find the verification information of the streaming media to be played and verify the streaming media data to be played, further reducing the number of interactions between the user terminal and the verification server, saving network resources, and computing resources of the user terminal and the verification server.

[0093] In an optional embodiment, the process of the user terminal sending a second verification information acquisition request to the verification server according to the playlist may include: generating a second verification information acquisition request according to the third part of the candidate streaming media in the multiple candidate streaming media, and sending the second verification information acquisition request to the verification server; then the process of the user terminal generating a verification information set according to the verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media in the playlist sent by the verification server may include: receiving the verification information corresponding to the third part of the candidate streaming media in the playlist sent by the verification server, and generating a verification information set according to the verification information corresponding to the third part of the candidate streaming media. When the streaming media application is started, the verification information of some of the streaming media in all the candidate streaming media associated with the user terminal can be obtained first. In the scenario where the user has not completely played all the candidate streaming media in the playlist, the number of interactions between the user terminal and the verification server is reduced, while saving the storage resources of the user terminal.

[0094] In an optional embodiment, the process of a user terminal generating a second verification information acquisition request based on a third part of candidate streaming media among multiple candidate streaming media may include: randomly selecting a preset number of candidate streaming media in the playlist to obtain the third part of candidate streaming media, and generating a second verification information acquisition request based on the third part of candidate streaming media. Among them, the preset number can be determined based on actual needs, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the preset number can be 5. The verification information of some streaming media among all candidate streaming media associated with the user terminal can be quickly obtained, while reducing the number of interactions between the user terminal and the verification server and saving the storage resources of the user terminal, so that after the streaming media application is started, a candidate streaming media can be selected from the randomly selected preset number of candidate streaming media for playback, thereby improving the streaming media playback efficiency after the streaming media application is started, and further improving the user's streaming media playback experience.

[0095] In an optional implementation, the playlist sent by the streaming media server also includes play order information of multiple candidate streaming media. The play order information of the multiple candidate streaming media can be determined by the streaming media server based on the recommendation coefficient of each candidate streaming media, wherein the recommendation coefficient of the candidate streaming media can be determined based on the similarity between the candidate streaming media and the user's historically played streaming media. The similarity can be the streaming media content similarity or the streaming media attribute information similarity, etc. The present disclosure embodiment is not limited to this. It can be understood that the higher the similarity between the candidate streaming media and the user's historically played streaming media, the higher the recommendation coefficient of the candidate streaming media; the higher the recommendation coefficient of the candidate streaming media, the higher the playback order of the candidate streaming media.

[0096] Among them, the process of the user terminal generating a second verification information acquisition request according to the third part of the candidate streaming media among the multiple candidate streaming media may include: obtaining the playback order information of each candidate streaming media in the playlist; based on the playback order information, determining the candidate streaming media located at the first playback position and at least one second target candidate streaming media as the third part of the candidate streaming media, and the second target candidate streaming media is the candidate streaming media whose playback order is located after the candidate streaming media at the first playback position among the multiple candidate streaming media in the playlist. The number of second target candidate streaming media can be determined based on actual needs, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the number of second target candidate streaming media can be 3; when the streaming media application is started, when determining the playback order information of multiple candidate streaming media included in the playlist, the verification information of some candidate streaming media including the candidate streaming media at the first playback position among the multiple candidate streaming media can be obtained preferentially, and the number of interactions between the user terminal and the verification server can be reduced, and the storage resources of the user terminal can be saved, so that after the streaming media application is started, the candidate streaming media that the user is interested in can be played preferentially, thereby increasing the user's residence time in the streaming media application.

[0097] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the playlist may contain address information of multiple candidate streaming media. The verification information acquisition request sent by the user terminal to the verification server carries the address information of the candidate streaming media. The verification server can determine the verification information of the candidate streaming media based on the address information of the candidate streaming media.

[0098] In step S202, the user terminal may search for verification information of the streaming media to be played in the pre-cached verification information set, and verify the streaming media data to be played according to the verification information of the streaming media to be played to obtain a verification result of the streaming media data to be played.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the verification information set includes verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media in a playlist associated with a user terminal; wherein the verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media in the playlist may include verification information of all candidate streaming media in the playlist associated with the user terminal; the verification information corresponding to each candidate streaming media in the playlist may also include verification information of the first part of candidate streaming media in the playlist associated with the user terminal, wherein the verification information corresponding to the first part of candidate streaming media is the verification information of part of the candidate streaming media obtained when the user terminal obtained verification information of part of the candidate streaming media last time.

[0100] In an optional implementation, the verification information set pre-cached in the user terminal may include: verification information of all candidate streaming media in a playlist associated with the user terminal, and the process of the user terminal searching for verification information of the streaming media to be played in the pre-cached verification information set may include: searching for verification information of the streaming media to be played in the verification information of all candidate streaming media.

[0101] In an optional implementation, the verification information set pre-cached in the user terminal may include: verification information of the first part of candidate streaming media in the playlist associated with the user terminal, then the process of the user terminal searching for verification information of the streaming media to be played in the pre-cached verification information set may include: searching for verification information of the streaming media to be played in the verification information of the first part of candidate streaming media.

[0102] The user terminal verifies the streaming media data to be played according to the verification information of the streaming media to be played, and the process of obtaining the verification result of the streaming media data to be played can be implemented based on a verification algorithm, and the verification algorithm can be a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) algorithm, such as: CRC32 algorithm.

[0103] In an optional implementation, there is a situation where the verification information of the first part of the candidate streaming media in the pre-cached playlist in the user terminal does not include the verification information of the streaming media data to be played. Before verifying the streaming media data to be played according to the verification information of the streaming media to be played and obtaining the verification result of the streaming media data to be played, the user terminal can also: send a first verification information acquisition request to the verification server when the verification information set does not include the verification information of the streaming media data to be played; receive the verification information of the second part of the candidate streaming media sent by the verification server, and update the verification information set according to the verification information of the second part of the candidate streaming media to obtain an updated verification information set; search for the verification information of the streaming media to be played in the updated verification information set. Among them, the first verification information acquisition request is used to indicate the acquisition of the verification information of the second part of the candidate streaming media, and the second part of the candidate streaming media includes the streaming media to be played. During the streaming media playback process, when it is determined that the verification information does not include the verification information of the streaming media data to be played, the verification information of the candidate streaming media that the user terminal needs to play can be obtained in batches from the verification server, reducing the number of interactions between the user terminal and the verification server while saving the storage resources of the user terminal.

[0104] In an optional implementation, before the user terminal sends a first verification information acquisition request to the verification server, the user terminal may also: obtain the playback order information of each candidate streaming media in the playlist; based on the playback order information of each candidate streaming media, determine the streaming media to be played and at least one first target candidate streaming media as the second part of the candidate streaming media, wherein the first target candidate streaming media is a candidate streaming media whose playback order is after the streaming media to be played among the multiple candidate streaming media in the playlist; the number of the first target candidate streaming media may be determined based on actual needs, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the number of the first target candidate streaming media may be 3. During the streaming media playback process, the verification information of some candidate streaming media including the current streaming media to be played among the multiple candidate streaming media may be obtained preferentially, and the number of interactions between the user terminal and the verification server may be reduced, and the storage resources of the user terminal may be saved, so that after the streaming media playback process, the candidate streaming media that the user is interested in may be played preferentially, further improving the user's residence time in the streaming media application.

[0105] For example, after the streaming media application is started, the playlist associated with the user terminal obtained by the user terminal includes 12 candidate streaming media, and the playlist contains the playback order information of the 12 candidate streaming media. The user terminal can first obtain the verification information of the first 4 candidate streaming media. When the streaming media to be played is the second candidate streaming media, the verification information of the second candidate streaming media can be directly obtained from the pre-cached verification information set, and the second candidate streaming media data can be verified; when the streaming media to be played is the fifth candidate streaming media, since the pre-cached verification information set does not contain the verification information of the fifth candidate streaming media, it is necessary to obtain the verification information of the fifth to eighth candidate streaming media from the verification server, and update the verification information set.

[0106] In step S203, when the verification result indicates that the streaming media data to be played has passed the verification, the streaming media data to be played is played.

[0107] In an optional implementation, when the verification result indicates that the streaming media data to be played has passed the verification, the process of playing the streaming media data to be played may include: decoding the streaming media data to be played to play the streaming media content corresponding to the streaming media data. If the streaming media to be played is a video or an audio and video, the decoded streaming media data to be played is used to render the display interface of the user terminal to play the video screen corresponding to the streaming media data to be played.

[0108] In a streaming media playback method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, the streaming media playing method may include the following steps:

[0109] Step S301, after determining the current streaming media to be played, obtaining the streaming media data to be played;

[0110] Step S302, determining whether the pre-cached verification information set contains verification information of the streaming media to be played;

[0111] Step S303, when the pre-cached verification information set includes the verification information of the streaming media to be played, searching the pre-cached verification information set for the verification information of the streaming media to be played;

[0112] Step S304: When the pre-cached verification information set does not include the verification information of the streaming media to be played, a first verification information acquisition request is sent to the verification server;

[0113] Step S305, receiving the verification information of the second part of the candidate streaming media sent by the verification server, and updating the verification information set according to the verification information of the second part of the candidate streaming media to obtain an updated verification information set; and searching the verification information of the streaming media to be played in the updated verification information set;

[0114] Step S306, verifying the streaming media data to be played according to the verification information of the streaming media to be played, and obtaining the verification result of the streaming media data to be played;

[0115] Step S307: When the verification result indicates that the streaming media data to be played has passed the verification, the streaming media data to be played is played.
