[0001] The present invention relates to visual networking technology, and in particular to a streaming media service upgrade method, device, electronic device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Streaming service is a technology that transmits and plays multimedia content such as audio and video in real time through the Internet. Users can listen or watch directly online without downloading the content. This type of service has developed rapidly in recent years with the improvement of Internet bandwidth, the popularization of smart devices and the growth of user demand. The main content types involved include movies, TV series, music, games, network monitoring and live broadcasts.

[0003] Streaming media servers are the link between visual networks and the Internet to realize audio and video transmission services. When current streaming media servers upgrade themselves, they often adjust the system architecture, optimize the transmission protocol, and adjust the data storage structure. This usually leads to video stream interruptions and cloud storage data loss, affecting the real-time nature of the push and cloud storage playback effects. This phenomenon often occurs in video surveillance or security scenarios. When the system pushes video to a streaming media platform or cloud storage, once there are problems with bandwidth, server resources, or protocol compatibility, it is easy to cause problems with fluency and data reliability.

[0056] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] Streaming media services are committed to providing high-definition (4K, 8K) and even 360-degree panoramic or VR videos, while adopting new compression standards (such as H.265 / HEVC and AV1) to improve bandwidth utilization. On a single network platform, the required services, such as high-definition video conferencing, video surveillance, intelligent monitoring analysis, emergency command, digital radio and television, delayed television, online teaching, live broadcast, VOD on demand, TV mail, personalized recording (PVR), intranet (self-organized) channels, intelligent video broadcast control, information release, and dozens of other video, voice, picture, text, communication, data and other services can be achieved through visual interactive devices to achieve high-definition quality video playback.

[0058] Based on the demand for smooth upgrade of streaming media services, the following embodiments of the present invention provide a streaming media service upgrade method, which completely migrates the original streaming media service business to the new streaming media service, so that the streaming media playback service and storage are not interrupted during the streaming media version upgrade process, thereby achieving a smooth service upgrade.

[0059] See also Figure 1An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for upgrading a streaming media service. In this embodiment, a first streaming media service end and a second streaming media service end are used to distinguish between a new version of the streaming media service and an old version of the streaming media service. The method is executed on the first streaming media service end (i.e., the new version of the streaming media service), and includes the following steps:

[0060] Step S110: Loading streaming media source information and streaming media player information from the shared memory.

[0061] In this step, it is considered that the old version of the streaming media service is running in the server, and the source end information and the playback end information of the streaming media are written into the shared memory at this time. At this time, the streaming media source end and the streaming media playback end have established a connection relationship with the old version of the streaming media service, and the streaming media source end pushes the stream to the old version of the streaming media service, and the old version of the streaming media service forwards the acquired streaming media content to the streaming media playback end. When the streaming media service needs to be upgraded, the host can start the new version of the streaming media service at the same time, and the new version of the streaming media service loads the streaming media source end information and the streaming media playback end information from the shared memory, which is used to identify the streaming media source end and the streaming media playback end, and uses the loaded information to connect with the source end and the server end.

[0062] Specifically, in the streaming media server architecture, the use of shared memory can effectively speed up the process of loading streaming media information from the source end and distributing data to the player end. Shared memory allows multiple processes to efficiently share data without having to communicate through sockets or files, thereby improving data access speed and reducing memory copy overhead. Streaming media source information usually includes the path, format, resolution, bit rate, etc. of the streaming media file. The source information can be read by multiple players; streaming media player information usually includes the status of each client, such as playback progress, buffer, connection status, etc.

[0063] In a further embodiment, the first streaming media server (i.e., the new version of the streaming media service) may first request the address of the shared memory from the second streaming media server (i.e., the old version of the streaming media service), and then load the streaming media source information and the streaming media player information according to the shared memory address.

[0064] Step S120: Initiate a first streaming media connection transfer request to the second streaming media server, and receive first transfer confirmation information returned by the second streaming media server.

[0065] Specifically, connection transfer refers to seamlessly switching the client's streaming media connection from one server (e.g., the second streaming media server) to another server (e.g., the first streaming media server). In this embodiment, the first streaming media connection request is used to request the second streaming media server to transfer the connection relationship of the streaming media player, that is, the streaming media player transfers the current connection with the old version streaming media service to the connection with the new version streaming media service. The specific request format is determined by the communication protocol of the server. After the old version streaming media service responds to the transfer request of the new version streaming media service, it can return the corresponding player identifier to the new version streaming media service.

[0066] In a further embodiment, step S120 includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S121. Initiate a streaming media playback connection transfer request to the second streaming media server;

[0068] Step S122: Receive the streaming media player connection identifier returned by the second streaming media server.

[0069] For example, taking the RTSP protocol as an example, the RTSP protocol is used to control multimedia stream transmission between the client and the server. After the second streaming media server receives the transfer request from the first streaming media server, it returns the RTSP file descriptor to it. The program can directly operate the operating system resources (such as network sockets) to control the sending and receiving of data.

[0070] Step S130: Establish a connection with the streaming media player terminal according to the first transfer confirmation information and the streaming media player terminal information.

[0071] In this step, the new version of the streaming media service constructs a connection object based on the acquired streaming media player connection identifier and streaming media player information, and establishes a mapping relationship with the streaming media player. At this time, the connection between the streaming media player and the streaming media service has been updated to the new version of the streaming media service, but the streaming media source still maintains a connection relationship with the old version of the streaming media service, that is, the collected streaming media is still pushed to the old version of the streaming media service. In order to ensure that the streaming media service is not interrupted, it is necessary to construct a streaming media back-source object so that the new version of the streaming media service can go back to the old version of the streaming media service to pull the streaming media content and forward it to the player until the streaming media source connection is transferred to the new version of the streaming media service.

[0072] In a further embodiment, step S130 includes the following steps:

[0073] Step S131. Establishing a connection with the streaming media player terminal according to the streaming media player terminal connection identifier and the streaming media player terminal information, so that the streaming media content played by the streaming media player terminal is obtained from the first streaming media server;

[0074] Step S132: Establish a streaming media routing connection, and forward the streaming media content from the second streaming media server to the streaming media player for playback.

[0075] In this step, the first streaming media server constructs a streaming media back-source object for back-source pulling the stream to the second streaming media server. The back-source object initiates a streaming media communication request to the second streaming media server, pulls the video stream from the second streaming media server, and caches it to the first streaming media server. The first streaming media server forwards the received content to the playback end in real time and saves it in the local cache so that it can be directly provided next time.

[0076] Step S140: Initiate a second streaming media connection transfer request to the second streaming media server, and receive second transfer confirmation information returned by the second streaming media server.

[0077] In this embodiment, the second streaming media connection request is used to request the second streaming media service end to transfer the connection relationship of the streaming media source end, that is, the streaming media source end transfers the current connection with the old version streaming media service to the connection with the new version streaming media service. The specific request format is determined by the communication protocol of the server end. After the old version streaming media service responds to the transfer request of the new version streaming media service, it can return the corresponding source end identifier to the new version streaming media service.

[0078] In a further embodiment, step S140 includes the following steps:

[0079] Step S141. Initiate a streaming media source terminal connection transfer request to the second streaming media server;

[0080] Step S142: Receive the streaming media source connection identifier returned by the second streaming media server.

[0081] Specifically, after receiving the transfer request from the first streaming media server, the second streaming media server returns the source file descriptor to the first streaming media server, and the program can directly operate the operating system resources (such as network sockets) to control the sending and receiving of data.

[0082] Step S150: Establish a connection with the streaming media source end according to the second transfer confirmation information and the streaming media source end information, and complete the streaming media service upgrade.

[0083] In this step, the new version of the streaming media service constructs a connection object based on the acquired streaming media source connection identifier and streaming media source information, and establishes a mapping relationship with the streaming media source. At this time, the connection between the streaming media source and the streaming media service has been updated to the new version of the streaming media service. At this point, both the streaming media source and the streaming media player have transferred the connection to the new version of the streaming media service, and can stop pulling streaming media from the old version of the streaming media service.

[0084] In a further embodiment, step S150 includes the following steps:

[0085] Step S151. Establishing a connection with the streaming media source according to the streaming media source information and the streaming media source connection identifier, so that the streaming media content collected by the streaming media source is directly pushed to the first streaming media server;

[0086] Step S152: close the streaming media routing connection with the second streaming media server, stop forwarding the streaming media content from the second streaming media server, and complete the streaming media service upgrade.

[0087] Specifically, after stopping the old version of the streaming media server, the host points the soft link of the program instance of the second streaming media server to the program instance of the first streaming media server, thereby completing the streaming media service upgrade.

[0088] The above embodiment describes the streaming media service upgrade method provided by the present invention from the perspective of a new version of the streaming media server. Two streaming media servers are deployed on the streaming media host. When one of the streaming media services is running and needs to be upgraded, the second streaming media service is started. The connection transfer between the streaming media player and the streaming media source is completed through the interaction of the two streaming media services, thereby achieving the continuity of streaming media playback during the streaming media service upgrade process. There is no need to interrupt the streaming media service program. The streaming media service upgrade process is smooth and uninterrupted, effectively improving the user experience.

[0089] See also Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a streaming media service upgrade method. This embodiment describes the method from the perspective of an old version of the streaming media service. A first streaming media service end and a second streaming media service end respectively distinguish between a new version of the streaming media service and an old version of the streaming media service. The method is executed on the second streaming media service end (i.e., the old version of the streaming media service), and includes the following steps:

[0090] Step S210: Receive a first streaming media connection transfer request from a first streaming media server, and return first transfer confirmation information to the first streaming media server.

[0091] In this step, the second streaming media server is the streaming media service currently connected to the source end and the playback end of the streaming media. When the streaming media service needs to be upgraded, the server host will start a new version of the streaming media service. At this time, the link relationship of the streaming media is still that the streaming media source end pushes the stream to the old version of the streaming media service. The old version of the streaming media service forwards the acquired streaming media content to the streaming media playback end. When the streaming media service is upgraded, the new version of the streaming media service loads the streaming media source end information and the streaming media playback end information from the shared memory to identify the streaming media source end and the streaming media playback end, and uses the loaded information to connect to the source end and the server end.

[0092] Specifically, connection transfer refers to seamlessly switching the client's streaming media connection from one server (e.g., the second streaming media server) to another server (e.g., the first streaming media server). In this embodiment, the first streaming media connection request is used to request the second streaming media server to transfer the connection relationship of the streaming media player, that is, the streaming media player transfers the current connection with the old version streaming media service to the connection with the new version streaming media service. The specific request format is determined by the communication protocol of the server. After the old version streaming media service responds to the transfer request of the new version streaming media service, it can return the corresponding player identifier to the new version streaming media service.

[0093] In some embodiments, step S210 includes the following steps:

[0094] Step S211. Receive a streaming media playback connection transfer request initiated by the first streaming media server;

[0095] Step S212: Return the streaming media player connection identifier;

[0096] Step S213: Establish a streaming media routing connection with the first streaming media server, and send streaming media content to the first streaming media server.

[0097] Specifically, the old version of the streaming media service responds to the connection transfer request of the new version of the streaming media service, initiates a communication connection to the new version of the streaming media service, and sends a streaming media player connection identifier. After the connection of the streaming media player is transferred to the new version of the streaming media service, the connection between the streaming media player and the streaming media service has been updated to the new version of the streaming media service, but the streaming media source still maintains a connection relationship with the old version of the streaming media service, that is, the streaming media it collects is still pushed to the old version of the streaming media service. In order to ensure that the streaming media service is not interrupted, the new version of the streaming media service needs to construct a streaming media return source object so that the new version of the streaming media service returns to the old version of the streaming media service to pull the streaming media content and forward it to the player until the streaming media source connection is transferred to the new version of the streaming media service. The return source object initiates a streaming media communication request to the second streaming media service end, pulls the video stream from the second streaming media service end, and caches it to the first streaming media service end. The first streaming media service end forwards the received content to the player end in real time and saves it in the local cache so that it can be directly provided next time.

[0098] Step S220: Receive a second streaming media connection transfer request initiated by the first streaming media server, and return second transfer confirmation information.

[0099] In this step, the second streaming media connection request is used to request the second streaming media server to transfer the connection relationship of the streaming media source, that is, the streaming media source transfers the current connection with the old version streaming media service to the connection with the new version streaming media service. The specific request format is determined by the communication protocol of the server. After the old version streaming media service responds to the transfer request of the new version streaming media service, it can return the corresponding source end identifier to the new version streaming media service.

[0100] In a further embodiment, step S220 includes the following steps:

[0101] Step S221. Receive a streaming media source terminal connection transfer request initiated by the first streaming media server;

[0102] Step S222. Return the streaming media source connection identifier;

[0103] Step S223: Stop sending streaming media content to the first streaming media server.

[0104] Specifically, after the second streaming media server receives the transfer request from the first streaming media server, it returns the source file descriptor to it. After the connection of the streaming media source is transferred to the new version of the streaming media service, it will stop pushing the stream to the old version of the streaming media service, that is, the second streaming media server will no longer receive the streaming media content pushed by the source. The first streaming media server will close the return-to-source object and stop pulling the stream from the second streaming media server. The second streaming media server can stop sending streaming media content to the first streaming media server.

[0105] The above embodiment describes the streaming media service upgrade method provided by the present invention from the perspective of an old version of the streaming media server. Two streaming media servers are deployed on the streaming media host. When one of the streaming media services is running and needs to be upgraded, the new version of the streaming media service is started. The connection transfer between the streaming media player and the streaming media source is completed through the interaction of the two streaming media services, thereby achieving the continuity of streaming media playback during the streaming media service upgrade process. There is no need to interrupt the streaming media service program. The streaming media service upgrade process is smooth and uninterrupted, effectively improving the user experience.

[0106] In order to further illustrate the streaming media service upgrade method of the present invention, a specific scenario will be described in detail below.

[0107] participate Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the camera is used as the streaming media source end, and the client is used as the streaming media playback end. Two streaming media services are deployed in the host, namely, streaming media 1 and streaming media 2. Streaming media 1 is the old version of the streaming media service, and streaming media 2 is the upgraded new version of the streaming media service. The streaming media service and the client use the RTSP protocol to control media stream transmission.

[0108] like Figure 4 As shown, it illustrates the information interaction process before and after the streaming media service upgrade.

[0109] In the initial stage of service deployment, the camera initiates a login request to streaming media 1, streaming media 1 records the camera login information to the shared memory, the client initiates an RTSP connection request to streaming media 1, and streaming media 1 writes the RTSP connection information to the shared memory.

[0110] The interactive process before upgrading includes the following steps:

[0111] Step S401: The camera initiates a login request to the streaming media 1.

[0112] Step S402: Streaming media 1 records camera login information.

[0113] Step S403: Streaming media 1 writes the camera login information into the shared memory and returns login response information to the camera.

[0114] Step S404: The client initiates an RTSP live broadcast request to the streaming media 1.

[0115] Step S405: Streaming media 1 records RTSP live broadcast information.

[0116] Step S406: Streaming media 1 writes RTSP live broadcast information into the shared memory.

[0117] Step S407: Streaming media 1 sends a streaming instruction to the camera.

[0118] Step S408: The camera returns a streaming response to the streaming media 1.

[0119] Step S409: Streaming media 1 updates the camera information to the shared memory and sets the camera state to the streaming state.

[0120] Step S410: The camera pushes the video stream to the streaming media 1.

[0121] Step S411. Streaming media 1 forwards the RTSP video stream to the client.

[0122] When starting the streaming media service upgrade, the host starts the program instance of streaming media 2. After the streaming media 2 program instance is started, it loads the camera status information and RTSP live broadcast information from the shared memory. Streaming media 1 sends the RTSP connection file descriptor of the outgoing stream to streaming media 2, which is taken over by streaming media 2. Since the camera is still pushing the stream to streaming media 1 at this time, in order to prevent the media stream from being interrupted, streaming media 2 will go back to the source to streaming media 1 to pull the stream; streaming media 1 sends the camera connection file descriptor of the outgoing stream to streaming media 2, which is taken over by streaming media 2. The connection between the camera and streaming media 1 is transferred to streaming media 2. At this time, streaming media 2 directly receives the media stream from the camera and forwards it to the client. At this point, the connection between the client and the camera is transferred to streaming media 2. Streaming media 2 closes the connection back to streaming media 1. After all outgoing stream services are transferred from streaming media 1 to streaming media 2, the streaming media 1 program is stopped and the streaming media 2 program file is overwritten to the original position of streaming media 1.

[0123] like Figure 5 As shown, the interactive process when the streaming media service is upgraded includes the following steps:

[0124] Step S501. Streaming media 2 loads RTSP live broadcast information and camera status information from the shared memory.

[0125] Step S502: Streaming media 2 initiates an RTSP live connection transfer request to streaming media 1.

[0126] Step S503: Streaming media 1 returns a transfer confirmation response to streaming media 2.

[0127] Step S504: Streaming media 1 initiates a Unix domain socket connection request to streaming media 2 and sends an RTSP file descriptor.

[0128] Step S505. Streaming media 2 receives the RTSP file descriptor from streaming media 1, and constructs an RTSP connection object, establishes a mapping relationship with the client, and constructs an RTSP back-to-source object for back-to-source streaming media 1 to pull the stream. At this time, the RTSP connection established between the client and streaming media 1 is transferred to streaming media 2.

[0129] Step S506: Streaming media 2 pulls the stream back to the source of streaming media 1 to ensure that the media stream is not interrupted.

[0130] Step S507: Streaming media 1 returns the RTSP stream to streaming media 2.

[0131] Step S508: Streaming media 2 forwards the RTSP video stream to the client.

[0132] Step S509: Streaming media 2 requests streaming media 1 to transfer the camera push streaming connection.

[0133] Step S510. Streaming media 1 initiates a Unix domain socket connection request to streaming media 2, and sends a file descriptor for establishing a connection with the camera.

[0134] Step S511. Streaming media 2 receives the camera connection file descriptor from streaming media 1, constructs a camera connection object, and establishes a mapping relationship with the camera. At this time, the connection established between the camera and streaming media 1 is transferred to streaming media 2.

[0135] Step S512: The camera pushes the video stream to the streaming media 2.
