Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of information processing technology, and more specifically, to error correction methods, apparatus, readable storage media, and electronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of interactive network television (CNN) services, the use of content delivery network (CDN) technology for CNN services has become increasingly common. When playing media assets using CNN terminals, various situations can lead to playback anomalies. However, current solutions for playback anomalies primarily address issues with the terminal itself. When media asset data on the CDN is abnormal, such as missing or corrupted content, or node synchronization failures, there is a lack of effective error correction methods. This can result in widespread playback anomalies for users, leading to low efficiency in resolving playback anomalies. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides error correction methods, devices, computer-readable storage media, and electronic devices to solve the problem of low efficiency in solving playback abnormalities caused by abnormal media data in the prior art.

The download link is obtained by the operator's server based on the target error data and the content delivery network's scheduling table, and the target media asset is the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data.

[0022] Based on the error correction notification information, the target media assets and target network nodes are identified;

[0023] If the target media asset is not present at the central network node of the content delivery network, obtain the source media asset corresponding to the target media asset; and update the media asset data in the target network node based on the source media asset.

[0024] If the target media asset exists in the central network node, the media asset data in the target network node is updated based on the target media asset in the central network node.

[0025] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0026] When the error correction notification message carries secondary notification parameters, obtain the source media asset corresponding to the target media asset; and update the media asset data in the target network node based on the source media asset.

[0027] Optionally, after updating the media asset data in the target network node, the method further includes:

[0028] Send a correction completion notification to the operator's server so that the operator's server can verify the correction result based on the correction completion notification.

[0029] According to a third aspect of the present invention, an error correction device is provided, configured in an operator server, comprising:

[0030] The data acquisition module is used to acquire the target error data;

[0031] The link determination module is used to determine the download link of the target media asset in the content delivery network based on the target error data and the scheduling table of the content delivery network; the target media asset is the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data;

[0032] The download processing module is used to download the target media asset based on the download link. In the event of download failure or abnormal playback of the target media asset after download, it sends an error correction notification to the content delivery network so that the content delivery network can perform error correction processing based on the received error correction notification.

[0033] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, an error correction device is provided, configured in a content delivery network, comprising:

[0034] The information receiving module is used to receive error correction notification information sent by the operator server. The error correction notification information is sent by the operator server when the target media asset fails to download based on the download link or when the target media asset plays abnormally after downloading. The download link is obtained by the operator server based on the target error data and the scheduling table of the content delivery network, and the target media asset is the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data.

[0035] The data determination module is used to determine the target media assets and target network nodes based on error correction notification information;

[0036] The error correction module is used to obtain the source media asset corresponding to the target media asset when the central network node of the content delivery network does not have the target media asset; and update the media asset data in the target network node based on the source media asset; and update the media asset data in the target network node based on the target media asset in the central network node when the target media asset exists in the central network node.

[0039] processor;

[0040] Memory used to store processor-executable instructions;

[0041] The processor is used to read executable instructions from memory and execute the instructions to implement the error correction method described above.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the error correction method, apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and electronic device provided by the present invention have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0043] The technical solution of this invention obtains target error data from an operator's server. This target error data indicates an anomaly in the media asset during playback. Then, based on the target error data and the content delivery network's (CDN) scheduling table, the download link for the target media asset within the CDN is determined. The target media asset is the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data. Further, the operator's server downloads the target media asset using this download link. If the download fails or playback anomalies occur after downloading, it indicates an anomaly in the media asset data of the target media asset within the CDN. Therefore, the operator's server sends an error correction notification to the CDN. The CDN promptly becomes aware of the media asset data anomaly through the error correction notification and quickly takes corrective measures, thereby achieving timely processing of abnormal media asset data within the CDN, preventing widespread playback anomalies for users, improving user experience, and increasing the efficiency of resolving playback anomalies.

[0052] The technical solutions of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of these embodiments.

[0053] Explanation of relevant terms:

[0054] Media assets refer to content assets, which can include content assets of various media types, such as text, images, audio, and video. Taking audio and video content assets as an example, these assets can specifically include audio and video data, metadata describing the audio and video data, and copyright information for the audio and video data.

[0055] Interactive network television (Internet Protocol Television, IPTV) is a wired or wireless IP network that provides controlled, manageable, secure transmission with quality of service certification, offering multimedia services including video, audio (including voice), text, graphics, and data. Receiving terminals include television set-top boxes, tablets, mobile phones, mobile TV, and other similar terminals.

[0056] A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is an intelligent virtual network built on top of the existing internet infrastructure, consisting of node servers placed throughout the network. A CDN system can redirect user requests to the nearest service node in real time based on comprehensive information such as network traffic, the connectivity and load of each node, as well as the distance to the user and the response time.

[0057] Please see Figure 1 The diagram shows an application environment of an error correction method according to an exemplary embodiment, including an IPTV terminal 11, an IPTV server 12, a CDN 13, and an operator server 14.

[0058] The IPTV terminal 11 may include terminal devices such as computers, televisions, and set-top boxes, and may also include software with media playback capabilities running on the terminal devices, such as applications. The IPTV terminal 11 has playback capabilities for playing media resources obtained from CDN 13.

[0059] IPTV server 12 is a server corresponding to IPTV terminal 11, providing backend services for IPTV terminal 11, such as providing download addresses for various media assets in the IPTV network.

[0060] IPTV services are delivered using Content Delivery Network (CDN) technology. This involves placing node servers near a group of users. These node servers can send resources to the group of users via multicast. The node servers throughout the IPTV network constitute the CDN 13 within the IPTV network. The CDN 13 can redirect user requests to the network node closest to the user in real time based on comprehensive information such as IPTV network traffic, the connection and load status of each node, as well as the distance to the user and the response time.

[0061] IPTV private network refers to a dedicated network built by operators for distributing IPTV content.

[0062] Specifically, when a user selects media for playback on the IPTV terminal 11, the IPTV terminal 11 receives an operation instruction and, in response to the operation instruction, sends a first playback request to the IPTV server 12.

[0063] IPTV server 12 receives the first playback request, determines the access address of the media asset requested by the user in the CDN based on the media asset identification information carried in the first playback request, and returns the access address to the IPTV terminal.

[0064] IPTV terminal 11 sends a second playback request to CDN 13 based on the received access address.

[0065] According to the scheduling rules, CDN 13 allocates the second playback request to a network node, which then returns a playback data stream to IPTV terminal 11 based on the media asset data stored in its own node.

[0066] IPTV terminal 11 receives the playback data stream and plays the media asset. If the media asset plays normally, there will be no error data. However, there are various playback situations, such as abnormalities in the playback process caused by IPTV terminal 11 or abnormal media asset data in CDN 13. In this case, IPTV terminal 11 will generate error data and send the error data to IPTV server 12 through the IPTV private network.

[0067] Operator Service 14 obtains error data sent via the IPTV private network through legal and formal channels. To determine if there are any anomalies (errors) in the media asset data within CDN 13, Operator Server 14 obtains the target error data. Based on the target error data and the content delivery network's scheduling table, it determines the download link for the target media asset in CDN 13. The target media asset is the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data. Based on the download link, the target media asset is downloaded. In the event of download failure or playback abnormalities after download, an error correction notification is sent to CDN 13.

[0068] Upon receiving an error correction notification, CDN 13 promptly performs error correction processing. This involves identifying the target media asset and target network node based on the notification. If the target media asset is not present at the CDN 13 central network node, the source media asset corresponding to the target media asset is retrieved, and the media asset data in the target network node is updated based on the source media asset. If the target media asset exists at the central network node, the media asset data in the target network node is updated based on the target media asset present at the central network node. By updating the media asset data promptly, abnormal media asset data in CDN 13 is corrected, preventing widespread playback anomalies and quickly resolving playback issues caused by abnormal media asset data in CDN 13, resulting in high efficiency.

[0069] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of the error correction method provided by the present invention. The error correction method provided in this embodiment is applied to, for example... Figure 1 The carrier server 14 includes at least the following steps:

[0070] Step 21: Obtain the target error data.

[0071] The target error data is used to indicate that there are abnormalities in the media assets during playback. Specifically, the target error data is error data with a specific identifier.

[0072] In some embodiments, step 21, obtaining the target error data, includes:

[0073] Step 211: Obtain network data from the interactive network television private network.

[0074] Interactive network television private network, also known as IPTV private network, uses data transmitted via IPTV as network data of the interactive network television private network.

[0075] Specifically, optical mirroring is performed on the data transmitted via the IPTV private network to obtain the network data of the IPTV private network, which contains all the interactive data between the IPTV server and the IPTV terminal.

[0076] Step 212: Identify the target transmission protocol data from the network data.

[0077] Among them, target transmission protocol data refers to network data carrying the target transmission protocol identifier.

[0078] Specifically, a target transmission protocol identifier is pre-specified, and data carrying the target transmission protocol identifier in the network data is filtered out to select the target transmission protocol data.

[0079] In one possible implementation, the target transport protocol is identified by an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) identifier, and the target transport protocol data is HTTP data. When an error occurs during the playback of on-demand content on the IPTV terminal, the IPTV terminal sends HTTP error data to the IPTV server. Therefore, packet capture processing is performed on the acquired network data to extract the HTTP data and obtain the target transport protocol data.

[0080] Step 213: In the target transmission protocol data, identify the target error data that includes the target field identifier.

[0081] The target field is a pre-set parameter used to indicate that the playback abnormality is caused by abnormal media asset data in the CDN.

[0082] Specifically, the target transmission protocol data includes various error data, meaning there are playback errors not caused by abnormal media asset data in the CDN. Therefore, to improve data processing efficiency, the target transmission protocol data is filtered to identify target error data containing the target field identifier. For example, the target field identifier might be set to "errorcode=1003009". Data with the value 1003009 is generated when the IPTV terminal sends HTTP data to the IPTV server when an error occurs during playback. Thus, target error data containing 1003009 is filtered out from the target transmission protocol data.

[0083] Step 22: Based on the target error data and the content delivery network's schedule, determine the download link of the target media asset in the content delivery network; the target media asset is the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data.

[0084] The content delivery network's scheduling table indicates the CDN's scheduling rules. Specifically, it shows the rules by which the CDN allocates network nodes to a user's second playback request after receiving it. The scheduling table determines the network node corresponding to each user's second playback request. Specifically, the CDN's scheduling table is an RR (Round-Robin) scheduling table. RR scheduling means that in a single round-robin request, every request signal receives a response; that is, the CDN responds to every second playback request and allocates a suitable network node for each request.

[0085] The target media asset is the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data. For example, if a user requests media asset A and encounters a playback error, the IPTV terminal sends HTTP data carrying 1003009 to the IPTV server. The operator's server obtains the target error data through optical mirroring and determines the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data, i.e., media asset A.

[0086] The download link of the target media asset in the content delivery network is used to obtain the target media asset in the CDN, providing a prerequisite for verifying whether the media asset data of the target media asset in the content delivery network is abnormal.

[0087] In some embodiments, step 22, based on the target error data and the content delivery network's schedule, determines the download link of the target media asset in the content delivery network, including:

[0088] Step 221: Based on the target error data, determine the user identification information and the access link of the target media asset.

[0089] The user identification information is used to identify the user and distinguish them from other users. Specifically, the user identification information is the user's IP address.

[0090] The access link for a target media asset is the link address that a user uses when accessing on-demand content on a content delivery network.

[0091] For example, the target field is identified as "errorcode=1003009". After obtaining target error data containing 1003009, based on this target error data, the user identifier information 10.161.24.88 and the HTTP link (link address) of the on-demand content accessed by the user in the CDN can be determined as follows:

[0092] http: / / 124.xx.xx.xx:8090 / 000000000006 / ff80808183676ed001836870081003d2 / index.m3u8.

[0093] Step 222: In the scheduling table of the content delivery network, determine the target network node corresponding to the user identification information.

[0094] The target network node is the CDN network node matched for the user's second playback request.

[0095] It should be noted that since the scheduling table of the content delivery network does not change in a short period of time, the scheduling table of the content delivery network is obtained periodically, and the target network node corresponding to the user identification information is determined according to the allocation rules of the network nodes in the scheduling table.

[0096] Step 223: Based on the access link and the target network node, determine the download link of the target media asset in the content delivery network.

[0097] Specifically, the target network node is identified as the node IP. Using the node IP and access link of the target network node, the download link of the target media asset in the content delivery network is constructed.

[0098] For example, if the target network node's IP address is determined to be 43.181.160.98, the access link can be converted using this IP address to:

[0099] http: / / 43.181.160.98:8090 / 000000000006 / ff80808183676ed001836870081003d2 / index.m3u8 is the download link for the target media asset on the content delivery network.

[0100] Step 23: Based on the download link, download the target media asset. If the download fails or the target media asset plays abnormally after downloading, send an error correction notification to the content delivery network so that the content delivery network can perform error correction processing based on the received error correction notification.

[0101] Specifically, after obtaining the download link, the target media asset is downloaded using that link. The following scenarios may occur during the download of the target media asset:

[0102] Scenario 1: The carrier server is unable to download the target media asset using the download link, indicating that the target media asset does not exist in the target network node. Therefore, an error correction notification is sent to the CDN in a timely manner so that the CDN is aware of the abnormal media asset data in the target network node.

[0103] Scenario 2: The operator's server downloads the target media asset using the download address, performs a playback test on the target media asset, and the playback test result is normal. In this case, it indicates that the error reported by the user is a playback abnormality caused by a network problem, and the content is ignored, and the process ends.

[0104] Scenario 3: The operator's server downloads the target media asset using the download address and performs a playback test on the target media asset. During the playback test, a playback anomaly occurs, indicating that the media asset data in the CDN is abnormal. Therefore, an error correction notification is promptly sent to the CDN so that the CDN is aware of the abnormal media asset data in the target network node, such as missing or corrupted media asset data.

[0105] In one possible application scenario, such as Figure 3 As shown, the IPTV terminal is a set-top box terminal, the IPTV server is the XX server-side platform, and the operator's server is the local platform server. The set-top box terminal transmits and interacts with the XX server-side platform via the IPTV private network.

[0106] The local platform server performs optical mirroring on the interactive data in the IPTV private network to obtain optical data, which is the network data.

[0107] The local platform server extracts the player error data 1003009, which is the target error data.

[0108] The local platform server matches the CDN node information (i.e., the target network node) carried in the target error data with the CDN node information of the current user request, based on the CDN's RR scheduling rules, i.e., the scheduling table.

[0109] The local platform server determines the download link based on the target network node and the access link requested by the current user.

[0110] The local platform server downloads the media assets from the CDN using the download link. If the download fails, it indicates that the media asset data is missing, and an error correction notification is sent to the CDN. If the download succeeds, the device is played locally using a set-top box. If playback is successful, it indicates that the reported error was a false alarm, and the error is ignored, or the user's network problem is identified. If playback fails, it indicates that the media asset data is abnormal, such as an abnormal segment, and an error correction notification is sent to the CDN so that the CDN can perform error correction processing, such as re-importing the media asset data from the target network node.

[0111] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0112] Step 24: In response to receiving the error correction completion notification from the content delivery network, download the target media asset based on the download link.

[0113] Specifically, after receiving the error correction completion notification from the CDN, the operator's server verifies the error correction result to confirm that there are no abnormalities in the media asset data in the target network node of the CDN. That is, it downloads the target media asset again according to the download link.

[0114] Step 25: In the event of download failure or abnormal playback of the target media asset after download, send a correction notification message to the content delivery network again. The correction notification message sent again carries secondary notification parameters.

[0115] Specifically, if the target media asset fails to download or plays abnormally after downloading, it indicates that CDN error correction has failed. The operator's server sends an error correction notification to the CDN again, and carries secondary notification parameters in the resent error correction notification so that the CDN knows that the error correction processing of the target network node has failed and that timely error correction processing is required again.

[0116] Step 26: If the download is successful and the target media asset plays normally, end the process.

[0117] Specifically, if the target media asset is successfully downloaded and plays normally during playback testing, it indicates that CDN error correction is successful, and the process ends at this point.

[0118] In the above embodiment, target error data is obtained through the operator's server. This target error data indicates an anomaly in the media asset during playback. Then, based on the target error data and the content delivery network's (CDN) scheduling table, the download link for the target media asset in the CDN is determined. The target media asset is the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data. Further, the operator's server downloads the target media asset according to the download link. If the download fails or playback of the target media asset is abnormal after download, it indicates an anomaly in the media asset data of the target media asset in the CDN. Therefore, an error correction notification is sent to the CDN. The CDN promptly becomes aware of the media asset data anomaly through the error correction notification and quickly takes relevant measures to correct the error. This achieves timely processing of abnormal media asset data in the CDN, preventing widespread playback anomalies for users, improving user experience, and increasing the efficiency of resolving playback anomalies.

[0119] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of the error correction method provided by the present invention, applied to a content delivery network, and includes at least the following steps:

[0120] Step 41: Receive error correction notification information sent by the operator server. The error correction notification information is sent by the operator server when the download of the target media asset fails or the target media asset plays abnormally after downloading, based on the download link. The download link is obtained by the operator server based on the target error data and the scheduling table of the content delivery network, and the target media asset is the user-on-demand content corresponding to the target error data.

[0121] Step 42: Based on the error correction notification information, determine the target media asset and the target network node.

[0122] Specifically, the error correction notification information carries relevant parameters of the target media asset and the target network node, such as the media asset identifier information of the target media asset and the node IP of the target network node.

[0123] Step 43: If the target media asset does not exist in the central network node of the content delivery network, obtain the source media asset corresponding to the target media asset; and update the media asset data in the target network node based on the source media asset; if the target media asset exists in the central network node, update the media asset data in the target network node based on the target media asset in the central network node.

[0124] In this context, the central network node of the content delivery network is the superior node of the target network node. The media asset data stored in the target network node is related to the media asset data stored in the central network node. Therefore, the CDN first determines whether the target media asset exists in the central network node.

[0125] If the target media asset is not present at the central network node, the source media asset corresponding to the target media asset is retrieved, and the media asset data in the target network node is updated using the source media asset. The source media asset, or original media asset data, is typically stored on a separate server, the injection server. Specifically, the source media asset is retrieved again from the injection server, and after retrieval, the retrieved source media asset is synchronized to the target network node based on its IP address.

[0126] If the target media asset exists in the central network node, the media asset data in the target network node is updated based on the target media asset in the central network node. Specifically, based on the node IP of the target network node, the media asset data of the target media asset in that node IP is first deleted, and then the target media asset in the central network node is resynchronized to that target network node.

[0127] In some embodiments, after updating the media asset data in the target network node, the method further includes:

[0128] Step 44: Send a correction completion notification to the operator's server so that the operator's server can verify the correction result based on the correction completion notification.

[0129] Specifically, after completing error correction, the CDN sends an error correction completion notification to the operator's server. The operator's server verifies the error correction result based on the received notification. That is, in response to receiving the error correction completion notification from the CDN, the operator's server downloads the target media asset based on the download link. If the download fails or the target media asset exhibits playback abnormalities after download, the operator's server resends the error correction notification to the CDN, this time carrying secondary notification parameters. If the download is successful and the target media asset plays normally, the process ends. Thus, by sending an error correction completion notification to the operator's server, it is possible to confirm whether the corrected media asset data has been restored to normal, effectively resolving playback abnormalities caused by abnormal media asset data.

[0130] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0131] Step 45: If the error correction notification information carries secondary notification parameters, obtain the source media asset corresponding to the target media asset; and update the media asset data in the target network node based on the source media asset.

[0132] Specifically, if the error correction notification information carries secondary notification parameters, it proves that the target network node has been corrected, but the media asset data error of the target network node has not been effectively resolved. Therefore, regardless of whether the target media asset exists in the central network node, the source media asset is directly obtained from the injection server, and the media asset data in the target network node is updated based on the source media asset, so that the media asset data error of the target network node can be effectively corrected.

[0133] In the above embodiments, after receiving the error correction notification information, the CDN promptly identifies the target media asset and the target network node in the error correction notification, and updates the media asset data in the target media asset data differently according to the different status information of the target media asset data in the central network node, so as to effectively and timely handle the errors in the media asset data in the target media asset data, avoid large-scale user playback anomalies, and achieve high efficiency in resolving playback anomalies.

[0134] Exemplary device
