Problems solved by technology

[0007] During the playback process, sometimes the user needs to locate a certain moment of the media file through the control bar to play. Due to the characteristics of streaming media transmission, it is likely that the location the user locates has not been downloaded yet, and the system will need to re-download the moment from the server. Start video data, and re-buffer, which will cause a long delay
[0008] In addition, the more important problem is that when faced with a playback progress bar that has no information related to on-demand media files except the time, the user can only locate his target position based on his feeling.
This will result in users sometimes relocating to pinpoint a specific location
This will be a rather unnecessary operation that affects the user experience. If the above-mentioned need to re-buffer occurs during positioning, the user experience will be greatly affected

Embodiment Construction

[0036] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] This embodiment is aimed at the VOD on-demand service of IPTV, and some known technologies of IPTV that do not involve the implementation process of the present invention will not be described in detail here.

[0038] Figure 1 mainly describes 4 parts:

[0039] Part 1 is the background part of the IPTV system, which is responsible for processing the source video 11 of the on-demand program and generating the picture files needed in the method of the present invention. The main logical structural components of this part will be introduced below.

[0040] The central device in the backstage of the IPTV system is the media processing server 12, which mainly includes two logical structural function modules, namely a video encoding / compression module 13 and an auxiliary positioning picture production module 14.

[0041] In a traditional VOD...

Abstract

A method for precisely positioning play progress in IPTV includes packing up a numbers of frame pictures at each interval on appointed time interval from program source, sending information as of these programs to EPG system server after said frame pictures are processed and compressed, setting said information in corresponding program and using it as part of program information, finding out a numbers of frame pictures in EPG program information at the same time section with time as cursor-pointed when cursor controlled by user is moved on play progress column after program is on-demand by user then displaying said pictures on screen.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of Internet TV, and in particular relates to a method for providing one or several frames of pictures at intervals for an on-demand program in IPTV to help users locate and jump to a target location for viewing more accurately. Background technique [0002] IPTV, a TV system based on IP network. IPTV utilizes the infrastructure of broadband Internet and uses home TV sets and computers as the main terminals to provide users with various digital media services including TV programs and their value-added services. [0003] Live video, time-shifted TV and video on demand are the three key services of IPTV. It is generally believed in the prior art that a large-scale commercial IPTV video-on-demand service is suitable for using a streaming media solution combined with CDN content distribution technology. [0004] Streaming Media refers to the transmission of media files using streaming technology in the network...
