Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of video surveillance technology, and specifically provides a video resource processing method, system, device and medium. Background Art

[0002] In video surveillance projects, video is generally collected through video acquisition devices, such as IPC (Internet Protocol Camera), etc. Users generally connect the same IPC to NVR (Network Video Recorder) / DVR (Digital Video Recorder) and video aggregation platform. At the same time, in order to ensure uninterrupted monitoring tasks during the process of video resource integration, NVR / DVR is generally connected to the video aggregation platform. In this case, there are actually two video channels with the same video stream. With the increase of the lower-level platforms of the video aggregation platform and the continuous increase of the level, there may be more and more duplicate video channels.

[0003] Duplicate video channels will bring the following problems: the video aggregation platform sends duplicate recording tasks to the video storage platform, resulting in repeated acquisition of the same video channel, which takes up storage space; users or other systems request to obtain multiple identical video streams from duplicate video channels, wasting network bandwidth and reducing the video distribution capabilities of the video aggregation platform; IPC, NVR / DVR and other devices generally have concurrent output capacity limitations. Some IPCs can only output about 5 video streams at the same time, while earlier models of IPCs can only output 2 video streams at the same time. If video streams from the same video device are pulled simultaneously from duplicate video channels, it is likely that the output capacity of the video output device will reach the upper limit of its concurrent output capacity, further leading to failure to pull video from the video device.

[0004] Accordingly, the art needs a new video resource processing solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0047] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a method for processing video resources according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the video resource processing method in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a video aggregation platform. The video aggregation platform can be connected to multiple front-end devices, and each front-end device can provide video resources to the video aggregation platform through its corresponding video channel. The video resource processing method mainly includes the following steps S101-step S103.

[0048] Step S101: grouping all video channels according to the video resources transmitted by each video channel, wherein the video resources transmitted by video channels in the same video channel group are the same, and the video resources transmitted by video channels in different video channel groups are different.

[0049] In this embodiment, the video resource processing method can be applied to a video convergence platform. The video convergence platform can be connected to multiple front-end devices, and different front-end devices can provide video resources to the video convergence platform through their corresponding video channels. Video channels can be grouped according to the video resources transmitted by each video channel, that is, video channels that transmit the same video resources are divided into the same video channel group, and video channels that transmit different video resources are divided into different video channel groups. Among them, video resources refer to video streams provided by front-end devices. Video convergence platform refers to a management platform for centralized management of video resources and distribution of video streams. Video channel refers to the communication channel between the front-end device and the video convergence platform. The front-end device can transmit video resources to the video convergence platform through this communication channel, and can also receive instructions issued by the video convergence platform through this communication channel, such as instructions to obtain video resources.

[0050] In one implementation, the front-end device may be a video acquisition device, such as an IPC (Internet Protocol Camera); it may be a video recording device, such as an NVR (Network Video Recorder) / DVR (Digital Video Recorder); it may also be a subordinate platform of a video aggregation platform, wherein the subordinate platform may also be a video aggregation platform.

[0051] In one implementation, the video channels transmitting the same video resource may be obtained in a manually specified manner, that is, by manually determining whether the video channels transmit the same video resource.

[0052] In one implementation, the video channel that transmits the same video resource can be automatically identified through the IP (Internet Protocol Address) port, that is, the IP port of the front-end device to which the video resource in the video channel ultimately points is identified, and based on the IP port of the front-end device, the video resources corresponding to the same IP port of the front-end device are determined as the same video resources, and the video channel that transmits the same video resource is further obtained.

[0053] In one implementation, it is possible to determine whether the video resources transmitted by the video channels are the same by using a video acquisition device that acquires the video resources. That is, if the video resources transmitted by the video channels are all from the same video acquisition device, it can be considered that the video resources transmitted by the video channels are the same; if the video resources transmitted by the video channels are from different video acquisition devices, it can be considered that the video resources transmitted by the video channels are different.

[0054] In one implementation, the video resource may include a device identification of a corresponding video acquisition device, and whether the video resources transmitted by the video channels are the same may be determined based on the device identification of the video acquisition device included in the video resource.

[0055] Step S102: Generate virtual channels corresponding to each video channel group according to the video channels in each video channel group.

[0056] In this embodiment, virtual channels corresponding to each video channel group can be generated according to the video channels in each video channel group, that is, video channels transmitting the same video resource can share one virtual channel.

[0057] In one implementation, the unique identifier of the virtual channel may be used to mark the virtual channel, and all video channels in the video channel group corresponding to the virtual channel may be associated through the unique identifier.

[0058] Step S103: In response to the resource processing instruction for the current video channel, resource processing is performed using the virtual channel corresponding to the video channel group where the current video channel is located.

[0059] In this embodiment, after receiving the resource processing instruction of the current video channel, the corresponding resource processing operation can be performed using the virtual channel corresponding to the video channel group where the current video channel is located.

[0060] In one implementation, the original resource processing instruction for the current video channel may be converted into a resource processing instruction for the virtual channel corresponding to the unique identifier according to the unique identifier of the virtual channel included in the current video channel, so as to perform a resource processing operation.

[0061] Based on the above steps S101-S103, the present invention groups all video channels according to the video resources transmitted by each video channel, divides the video channels transmitting the same video resources into the same video channel group, divides the video channels transmitting different video resources into different video channel groups, and generates virtual channels corresponding to each video channel group according to the video channels in each video channel group, and performs resource processing using the virtual channel corresponding to the video channel group where the current video channel is located according to the resource processing instruction of the current video channel. Through the above configuration, the present invention can merge repeated video resources in the video aggregation platform through virtual channels, avoid the video aggregation platform repeatedly executing resource processing instructions when responding to resource processing instructions for the same video resource, resulting in repeated occupation of storage space, wasting network bandwidth, and the problem that the concurrent output capacity of the front-end device reaches the upper limit, and can realize flexible acquisition of video resources, and different front-end devices providing the same video resources can also back up each other, increasing the robustness of the video aggregation platform.

[0062] The step S103 is further described below.

[0063] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, the resource processing instruction may be an instruction for obtaining a real-time video stream of a video resource, and step S103 may further include steps S10301 to S10303:

[0064] Step S10301: Determine whether other video channels in the virtual channel are transmitting real-time video streams; if so, jump to step S10302; if not, jump to step S10303;

[0065] Step S10302: directly obtain the real-time video stream being transmitted by other video channels;

[0066] Step S10303: Acquire a real-time video stream through any video channel in the virtual channel.

[0067] In this embodiment, the resource processing instruction can be an instruction for obtaining a real-time video stream of a video resource. According to the instruction for obtaining a real-time video stream of a video resource, it can be determined whether other video channels in the corresponding virtual channel are transmitting real-time video streams. If other video channels are transmitting real-time video streams, the real-time video streams being transmitted by other video channels can be directly obtained; if no video channel in the virtual channel is transmitting real-time video streams, the real-time video stream can be obtained through any video channel in the virtual channel. Through the above configuration, when obtaining a real-time video stream, it is possible to first determine whether other video channels in the virtual channel are transmitting real-time video streams. If so, the real-time video stream being transmitted can be directly obtained, thereby avoiding the waste of network bandwidth caused by repeatedly obtaining the same real-time video stream, reducing the distribution capacity of the video aggregation platform, and the front-end device reaching the output capacity limit due to the simultaneous acquisition of the real-time video stream of the same front-end device from multiple video channels, further resulting in the failure of the subsequent task of obtaining the real-time video stream of the front-end device.

[0068] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, after step S10303, step S103 may further include the following steps S10304-S10305:

[0069] Step S10304: determine whether the real-time video stream is successfully acquired through any video channel; if so, complete the resource processing instruction of the current video channel; if not, jump to step S10305;

[0070] Step S10305: Continue to obtain the real-time video stream through the next video channel in the virtual channel until the real-time video stream is successfully obtained or the real-time video stream is not successfully obtained through all video channels in the virtual channel.

[0071] In this embodiment, after executing step S10303, it can be determined whether the real-time video stream is successfully obtained through any video channel. If so, the resource processing instruction of the current video channel is completed; if not, the real-time video stream can be continuously obtained through the next video channel in the virtual channel until the real-time video stream is successfully obtained, or the real-time video stream is not obtained through all video channels in the virtual channel. Through the above configuration, each video channel in the virtual channel can back up each other, and the front-end device can be flexibly selected to obtain the real-time video stream, which increases the robustness of the video aggregation platform.

[0072] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, the resource processing instruction may be an instruction for obtaining video recording information of a video resource, and step S103 may further include steps S10306 and S10307:

[0073] Step S10306: Determine whether the front-end device corresponding to the video channel in the virtual channel has stored the video information. If yes, jump to step S10307;

[0074] Step S10307: Obtain the video information stored in the front-end device.

[0075] In this embodiment, the resource processing instruction can be an instruction to obtain the video recording information of the video resource. According to the instruction to obtain the video recording information of the video resource, it can be determined whether the front-end device corresponding to each video channel in the virtual channel corresponding to the video group where the current video channel is located has stored the corresponding video recording information. If so, the video recording information can be directly obtained from the front-end device that stores the corresponding video recording information. Through the above configuration, the video recording information of the video resource does not need to be stored repeatedly, saving the video storage space of the video aggregation platform and the front-end device.

[0076] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, the resource processing instruction may be an instruction to record the video resource, and step S103 may further include steps S10308 to S10310:

[0077] Step S10308: Determine whether other video channels in the virtual channel are recording video resources; if so, jump to step S10309; if not, jump to step S10310.

[0078] Step S10309: no longer recording the video resource transmitted by the current video channel according to the resource processing instruction;

[0079] Step S10310: Record the video resource transmitted by the current video channel according to the resource processing instruction.

[0080] In this embodiment, the resource processing instruction can be an instruction to record a video resource. According to the instruction to record a video resource, it can be determined whether other video channels in the virtual channel are recording the video. If so, the video resource transmitted by the current video channel can be stopped from being recorded; if not, according to the instruction to record a video resource, the video resource transmitted by the current video channel can be recorded. Through the above configuration, when receiving an instruction to record a video resource, only one video channel in the virtual channel needs to be recorded, which avoids the situation where the same video resource is recorded repeatedly, saves video storage space, and also reduces the pressure on the front-end device that executes the instruction to record the video resource.

[0081] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the above steps S101 to S103, after step S102, the present invention may further include the following steps S104 to S105:

[0082] Step S104: Generate a unique identifier for each virtual channel respectively;

[0083] Step S105: Associating each video channel in each video channel group with a unique identifier of a virtual channel corresponding to each video channel group.

[0084] In this embodiment, after generating the virtual channels corresponding to each video channel, the unique identifiers of the virtual channels can be generated respectively, and each video channel in each video channel group is associated with the unique identifiers of the virtual channels corresponding to each video channel group. That is, the unique identifiers can be used to determine which video channels are associated with the virtual channels corresponding to the unique identifiers.

[0085] In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, before step S101, the present invention may further include the following steps S106 and S107, and through steps S106 and S107, it is determined whether the video resources transmitted by each video channel are the same:

[0086] Step S106: for any two video channels in the video channel, in the communication direction of transmitting the video resource from the video channel to the video aggregation platform, respectively obtain the first front-end device that is in communication connection with the front-end device corresponding to each video channel;

[0087] Step S107: If the first front-end devices that are connected to the front-end devices corresponding to the two video channels are the same, it is determined that the video resources transmitted by the two video channels are the same.

[0088] In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the first front-end devices connected to the two video channels are the same based on the first front-end device that each video channel connects to in the direction of transmitting video resources from the video channel to the video convergence platform. If they are the same, it can be determined that the video resources transmitted by the two video channels are the same. For example, IPC1 is connected to NVR1 and the video convergence platform respectively, and NVR1 is also connected to the video convergence platform. Then, two video channels are formed on the video convergence platform: one video channel is a channel for transmitting video resources from IPC1 to the video convergence platform, and the first front-end device that communicates and connects with the front-end device IPC1 corresponding to this video channel is the front-end device IPC1 corresponding to this channel itself; the other channel is a channel for transmitting video resources from NVR1 to the video convergence platform, and the first front-end device that communicates and connects with the front-end device NVR1 corresponding to this video channel is IPC1. It is possible to determine whether the video resources transmitted by the two video channels are the same based on whether the first front-end devices that communicate and connect to the two video channels in the communication direction of transmitting video resources from the video channels to the video convergence platform are the same.

[0089] In one embodiment, please refer to the attached Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of establishing a virtual channel according to an implementation method of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the main steps of establishing a virtual channel include:

[0090] Step S201: Select a repeated video channel.

[0091] In this embodiment, the method described in step S201 is similar to the method described in the aforementioned step S101, and for the sake of simplicity, it will not be repeated here.

[0092] Step S202: Establish a virtual channel.

[0093] In an implementation manner, the method described in step S202 is similar to the method described in the aforementioned step S102, and for the sake of simplicity of description, it is not repeated here.

[0094] In one embodiment, see the attached Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of obtaining a real-time video stream according to an implementation of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the step of acquiring the real-time video stream (step S203) may include:

[0096] In this implementation, an instruction to obtain a real-time video stream of a video resource may be received.

[0097] Step S2032: Determine whether a real-time video stream is being transmitted in the virtual channel; if so, end; if not, jump to step S2033.

[0098] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the real-time video stream is being transmitted in the virtual channel. If so, the instruction to obtain the real-time video stream is not executed, and the step of obtaining the real-time video stream is ended. If not, the process jumps to step S2033.

[0101] Step S2034: Determine whether the real-time video stream is obtained successfully; if so, end; if not, jump to step S2033.

[0102] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the real-time video stream is successfully obtained through the video channel selected in step S2033. If so, the step of obtaining the real-time video stream can be ended. If not, the process can continue to jump to step S2033 and select the next video channel in the virtual channel to obtain the real-time video stream.

[0103] In one embodiment, see the attached Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of recording a video resource according to an implementation of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the step of recording the video resource (step S204) may include:

[0104] Step S2041: determine whether the video channel has a unique identifier of a virtual channel; if so, jump to step S2042; if not, jump to step S2043.

[0105] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the video channel has a unique identifier of the virtual channel, that is, whether the video channel is associated with the virtual channel through the unique identifier of the virtual channel. If so, jump to step S2042; if not, jump to step S2043.

[0106] Step S2042: Select the virtual channel corresponding to the unique identifier, and jump to step S2043.

[0107] In this embodiment, if the video channel is associated with a virtual channel, the virtual channel corresponding to the unique identifier may be selected according to the unique identifier, and the process jumps to step S2043.

[0108] Step S2043: Video recording.

[0110] In one embodiment, see the attached Figure 5 , Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of obtaining video recording information of a video resource according to an implementation of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the step of obtaining the video recording information of the video resource (step S205) may include:
