Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of network control and service, in particular to content publishing and information pushing. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of traditional Internet, users connect to the network in a wired manner through network cables. Such a connection mode is easy to manage centrally because the address of each user is relatively fixed, whether it is the network IP address or the address of the user in reality. For example, computers in school dormitory areas can provide different types of network services with different permissions to students of different grades and can also push different content to the network.

[0003] With the progress of the network and the popularity of mobile devices, smart phones, tablets, notebook computers and other portable mobile devices also access the network in the form of 4G, 5G and WIFI. Administrators need to push content to mobile devices through a wireless management system.

[0004] A Chinese patent document with publication number CN201310065301.8 discloses an information pushing system and an information pushing method. The information pushing system can be applied to mobile terminals and includes a pushing server that can push information text to a client to facilitate the announcement of group information.

[0005] However, this technical solution has certain defects. On the one hand, the pushing objects cannot be distinguished. Different objects cannot be distinguished in a centralized, efficient and low-cost manner, so that different objects are pushed different content information. On the other hand, in addition to information pushing, different adaptability management cannot be performed on different groups of people, and different groups of people cannot be provided with different functional services.

[0033] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of embodiment 1.

[0034] Embodiment of the present application

[0035] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The present embodiment is only an explanation of the present application, and is not a limitation of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make modifications to the present embodiment without creative contribution after reading the present specification, but as long as the modifications are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the patent law.

[0037] Embodiment 1, a regional content distribution method based on 5G edge computing, first enters S01, a regional division step. In this step, a 5G network is divided into different network single areas according to the geographical area as the standard by the network manager's will. For example, Figure 1 as shown, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a whole 5G network, and each oval dotted area in the figure is a single network single area, which is called single area 1, single area 2 and single area 3 from left to right.

[0038] In actual operation, the network manager submits an application for zoning requirements to the network operator, for example, an enterprise responsible for network management network services submits an application for zoning requirements to a 5G network operator such as China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom, and according to the wishes of the enterprise, the network operator divides the network into single zone 1, single zone 2, and single zone 3. For example, a school becomes single zone 1, a mall becomes single zone 2, and a residential area becomes single zone 3. That is, users in this area use mobile phones and other portable smart terminals to access the Internet through mobile networks (such as 5G), and are all connected to the single zone 3 network.

[0039] Then enter S02, node building step. In this step, two types of nodes need to be established, namely control nodes and operation nodes. The actual form of these two types of nodes is software, which is written by software personnel using programming languages in existing technologies, such as C, JAVA, C#, VB, etc. However, the number, arrangement position, and function of the two types of nodes are different.

[0040] The number of control nodes can be small, and in this embodiment, only one control node can be provided in the area. However, each network single zone is equipped with an operation node. As shown in Figure 1 Single zone 1, single zone 2, and single zone 3 are respectively equipped with operation node 1, operation node 2, and operation node 3.

[0041] In terms of spatial position, the operation node is closer to the corresponding network single zone. In this embodiment, the operation node program is installed in the edge computing node, and the edge computing node is a physical server provided by the network operator. The edge computing node is located near the base station of the network operator in terms of geographical position. For example, Figure 1 Operation node 1 in is installed in a physical server next to the operator's base station near the school.

[0042] The control node is different, and the control node can be installed on the cloud, that is, on the cloud server, and it is not required to be close to the geographical position of any network single zone in terms of geographical position.

[0043] Then enter S03, control node configuration step; the network management personnel edit the configuration file of the control node, and the configuration file contains the service type data of the operation node. Specifically, the control node has the management function of each operation node, and needs to configure the allowed service type of each operation node. For example, the service type of operation node 1 corresponding to the school as single zone 1 is the ordinary information browsing service type. The service type of operation node 2 corresponding to the mall as single zone 2 is the game application service type in addition to the ordinary information browsing service type. The service type of operation node 3 corresponding to the residential area as single zone 3 is the live application service type in addition to the information browsing service type and the game application service type.

[0044] In this step, there are also some other setting steps for the control node. For example, setting the storage and monitoring content of the control node. That is, setting which types of important data the control node needs to store and which contents need to be monitored in real time. In actual application, the control node often needs to monitor and store the health indicators of each operation node to facilitate network early warning and network maintenance.

[0045] Then enter S04, the operation node configuration step. The control node sends the configuration file to each operation node correspondingly, and each operation node automatically obtains its service authority according to the obtained configuration file. At this point, the slicing of the 5G network corresponding to each physical area is completed, and the network service type allowed by each single area is also specified, that is, the system for distributing the content of the entire 5G edge computing area is established.

[0046] At this time, it enters the formal use stage of the system, that is, S05, the content sending step.

[0047] In the formal use stage of the content distribution system, the control node sends specific service content data to each operation node. For example, the corresponding information browsing content is sent to the operation node 1, and the smart devices such as mobile phones, tablets and the like in all single areas 1 that access the Internet through 5G perform information interaction with the operation node 1. Similarly, the control node sends the data corresponding to the game content to the operation node 2 and the operation node 3, and sends the data corresponding to the live content to the operation node 3.

[0048] In this way, on the one hand, the network service type supported by each network single area is managed individually, such as the single area where the school is located does not support game services. On the other hand, since the information browsing content is also received by each single area from the data sent by the control node, the push information sent by the control node can also be managed by partition. For example, the control node can send the push information of this week's public class to all network devices in the partition 1 through the operation node 1, without the need to send to all partitions 1, 2 and 3.

[0049] Moreover, the content distribution system and the content distribution method rely on the 5G network platform, and the 5G network has strong bearing capacity for terminal devices in a unit area, and reduces the connection delay between the terminal devices and the operation nodes.

[0050] Embodiment 2, on the basis of embodiment 1, further has the functions of position recognition and automatic allocation. Specifically, when a new network terminal uses the 5G network, the control node recognizes its corresponding geographical position. When the geographical position itself exists a single area, the network terminal naturally communicates with the operation node corresponding to the single area. If the position does not exist a single area at this time (for example, the network management device of the single area is in a maintenance state), the control node allocates the nearest operation node to provide network communication service for the network terminal.

[0051] Embodiment 3, on the basis of embodiment 1, further has the functions of position recognition and single area switching.

[0052] When a user walks from single area 1 to single area 3, the control node can recognize the change of the geographical position information of the network terminal, and prompt the user whether to switch the single area 1 providing network service to single area 3. If the user agrees to switch, the user can receive the information push content corresponding to single area 3, and can use the network service type in single area 3. If the user does not agree to switch, the user continues to interact with operation node 1, and the push content received and the network service obtained do not change, but the time delay will be increased due to the long-distance cross-single-area communication.
