[0020] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0021] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] In traditional IPTV / OTT services, program scheduling is a key link before content is presented to users. It determines which programs viewers can watch and the order and time of these programs. Traditional program scheduling is often based on content lists, but the management and organization of these lists are usually decentralized, and different program types or channels may use different management systems or tools. For example, a carousel channel may have an independent broadcast scheduling management system, while other program lists on the EPG may be handled through column organization, configuration files, etc. However, with the continuous enrichment of IPTV / OTT service content, the content of streaming program scheduling is increasing. Due to the lack of a unified association management platform, the scheduling and distribution of programs has become complicated and disorderly.

[0023] In view of the above problems, this application proposes a program scheduling method, which obtains program content information of different broadcast control platforms, determines the distribution domain of program content based on the program content information, classifies program content based on the distribution domain, generates a program list, and distributes the program list to the corresponding distribution domain. The above method integrates program content information of different broadcast control platforms, determines the distribution domain based on the program content information, efficiently classifies program content, generates a program list and a corresponding program schedule, so as to ensure that the program list can be pushed to the corresponding distribution domain in a timely and accurate manner, and broadcast according to the generated program schedule, thereby solving the complexity and disorder of program scheduling in IPTV / OTT services and improving the orderliness of program scheduling.

[0024] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, etc. The following takes the program scheduling system as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0025] Based on this, the first embodiment proposed in this application provides a program scheduling method, referring to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the program scheduling method includes steps S10 to S40: Step S10, obtaining program content information of different broadcast control platforms.

[0026] It should be noted that the broadcast control platform refers to a system platform responsible for content management, broadcast control and user management. The broadcast control platform contains program content information, including but not limited to program name, type, duration, broadcast time, online and offline status, etc.

[0027] Optionally, by establishing interface connections with different broadcast control platforms, program content information is acquired in real time or at a fixed time, and the acquired program content information is stored in a local database for subsequent processing.

[0028] For example, the data exchange format and interface specifications are determined according to the type of broadcast control platform. The data interface is designed and developed according to the interface specification to obtain program content information from the broadcast control platform in real time or at a fixed time. The acquired data is cleaned and verified to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data, and the cleaned data is stored in the local database for subsequent processing and analysis.

[0029] Optionally, during the data acquisition and storage process, an exception handling mechanism is set to handle abnormal situations such as data acquisition failure and data format error. For example, when the program scheduling system sends a request to the broadcast control platform, if it fails to receive a response within the specified time, or the received response is an error code, it is determined that the data acquisition failed. At this time, the program scheduling system can record the error information and send an alarm notification to the administrator. The administrator can check the network connection, the status of the broadcast control platform, etc. according to the error information to solve the problem. Alternatively, when the program scheduling system receives the program content information returned by the broadcast control platform, if it is found during parsing that the data format does not meet expectations, such as the lack of necessary fields, the field type does not match, etc., it is determined that the data format is wrong. At this time, the program scheduling system can record the error information and try to repair or discard the data. If the data cannot be repaired, the program scheduling system can send an alarm notification to the administrator so that the administrator can understand the problem and take measures.

[0030] Step S20: determining the distribution domain of the program content according to the program content information.

[0031] It should be noted that, in the IPTV system, the distribution domain is used to describe different targets for program content transmission, that is, different operator platforms.

[0032] Optionally, relevant fields in the program content information, such as program type, audience group, etc., are analyzed to determine the distribution domain, and the determined distribution domain information is stored in a local database and associated with the program content information.

[0033] Exemplarily, based on the "Program Type" field in the program content information, the type attribute of each program is determined, such as news, variety shows, movies, TV series, documentaries, etc., and the distribution domain is determined based on the program type. For example, documentaries are distributed to education channels and / or science channels, and variety shows and TV series are distributed to entertainment channels, etc.

[0034] Optionally, the main audience groups of the program, such as children, teenagers, adults, the elderly, and people with special interests, can be determined by combining the program type and other relevant information such as program description, cast, and director information. The distribution domain of the program is determined based on the characteristics of the audience groups. For example, programs for children can be distributed to children's channels or educational platforms; variety shows for adults can be distributed to entertainment channels or social media platforms.

[0035] Optionally, other fields related to the distribution domain, such as program language, regional restrictions, copyright information, etc., can also be analyzed to more accurately locate the distribution scope of the program.

[0036] Exemplarily, distribution rules are set in advance, a mapping relationship between distribution domains and program types, main audience groups or other related fields is established, and a suitable language analysis model is selected to understand and parse the text content in the program content information. Through training, the language analysis model can recognize and extract keywords that match the distribution rules, match these keywords with the distribution rules, and determine the corresponding distribution domain.

[0037] Optionally, the user can specify a distribution domain for the program content, and add a distribution domain identifier to the program content according to the specified distribution domain, so that the program content can be correctly distributed to the corresponding distribution domain according to the distribution domain identifier.

[0038] Step S30: classify the program content based on the distribution domain and generate a program list.

[0039] It should be noted that the program list is a program broadcast plan generated based on program content information and distribution domain information, and the program broadcast plan is distributed to the corresponding distribution domain to achieve orderly broadcast of the program.

[0040] The program content is classified according to the distribution domain information, and a program list is generated according to the classification result, including information such as program name, broadcast time, and broadcast platform, so that after the program list is generated, each transmission platform can distribute the generated program list to the corresponding distribution domain, such as transmitting it to the EPG system of the operator platform through an interface.

[0041] Optionally, the program scheduling system supports operations such as regeneration, editing, and deletion of program schedules. When program content or distribution domain information changes, the program scheduling system can trigger the process of regenerating the program schedule, and allow administrators or relevant personnel to modify the information in the program schedule under specific permissions, such as adjusting the broadcast time, changing the broadcast platform, etc. For programs that have expired or are no longer broadcast, the program scheduling system can delete them from the program schedule to maintain the accuracy and timeliness of the schedule.

[0042] Step S40: determining a program schedule corresponding to the program list according to the program content information.

[0043] According to the program content information, combined with the broadcasting platform's scheduling strategy and audience viewing habits, a program schedule is formulated to ensure that the program can be broadcast smoothly according to the scheduled time sequence and broadcasting platform, while meeting the audience's viewing needs.

[0044] Optionally, a user operation panel is provided, through which the user can intuitively view, edit and adjust the input program schedule.

[0045] For example, the current program schedule is displayed through the user operation panel, including information such as program name, broadcast time, program type, etc., and scrolling, zooming and other functions are provided so that users can view the program schedule of different time periods or different channels. In addition, the functions of adding, deleting and moving programs are also provided. Users can modify the program schedule by clicking, dragging and other operations, or set the repetition rules of the program, such as daily, weekly, etc. The program scheduling system lists all available programs, including information such as program name, introduction, type, duration, etc. Users can select programs from the program library and add them to the program schedule. The program scheduling system can update the program schedule in the display area in real time to reflect the user's modifications, and update the internal data structure of the program schedule based on the user's input.

[0046] Optionally, the program scheduling system monitors conflicts in the program schedule in real time, including time overlap (i.e., two programs are broadcast in the same time period), channel conflict (i.e., the same channel broadcasts multiple programs in the same time period), etc. When a conflict is detected, the program scheduling system warns the user and provides suggestions for resolving the conflict, such as adjusting the broadcast time, changing the channel, etc.

[0047] For example, the broadcasting time of all programs is represented on the timeline, and if multiple programs are broadcast at the same time point, it is marked as a time overlap conflict. Further, based on the timeline, for each program, its broadcasting time and channel are compared with the broadcasting time and channel of other programs. If it is found that there is another program broadcast in the same time period and on the same channel, it is marked as a channel conflict.

[0048] Optionally, the distribution domain includes at least one electronic program guide group, and the program scheduling method further includes: Step S50: determining the electronic program guide group corresponding to the program content information.

[0049] Step S60: classify the program content based on the distribution domain and the corresponding electronic program guide grouping, and generate the program list.

[0050] It should be noted that the electronic program guide group refers to a set of terminal devices or user groups that receive program content divided according to specific rules.

[0051] Based on the original distribution domain, the program content is further classified according to the distribution domain information such as program type, audience group, etc. and the electronic program guide grouping rules such as geographic location, user interests, etc., and the program content is matched with the specific distribution domain and electronic program guide grouping to ensure that the program can be accurately delivered to the target audience. Based on the classification results, a program form containing information such as program name, broadcast time, broadcast platform, and target electronic program guide grouping is generated.

[0052] Optionally, establish a data interface or data sharing agreement with each broadcast control platform, and regularly obtain the latest program content information from the broadcast control platform, including program name, broadcast time, program type, program introduction, etc. Clean the collected program content information, remove duplicate, invalid or erroneous information, and format the program content information. Perform a detailed analysis of the pre-processed program content information, extract key information such as program type, theme, keywords, etc., and match the program content information with the established classification standards based on the extracted key information.

[0053] For example, according to the requirements of the data sharing agreement, set the plan and frequency of data acquisition, such as obtaining the latest program content information from each broadcast control platform at 1 a.m. every day. Use Python and other programming languages ​​to write data capture scripts, and use the data interface to capture the latest program content information from the broadcast control platform, including program name, broadcast time, program type, program introduction, etc. Use Pandas and other libraries to read, process and analyze data, use data cleaning functions to remove duplicate program content information, and identify and process invalid or erroneous program content information, such as deleting null values ​​and correcting incorrect time formats. Use natural language processing technology to perform text analysis on program introductions and extract key information, such as program type, theme, keywords, etc. According to business needs, formulate program classification standards corresponding to the electronic program guide grouping, match the extracted key information with the formulated classification standards, and assign program content information to the corresponding classification.

[0054] Optionally, the terminal devices or user groups receiving the program content can be divided according to geographical locations such as cities, regions, etc. to form different electronic program guide groups, and program content that conforms to local culture and interests can be pushed to users in different regions to improve user satisfaction and ratings.

[0055] Optionally, by analyzing the viewing history and preferences of users, users are divided into different interest groups to form electronic program guide groups, and personalized push strategies are formulated for different electronic program guide groups, such as push time, push frequency, push method, etc.

[0056] Exemplarily, an in-depth analysis is conducted on the user's historical viewing records, interactive behaviors such as likes, comments, shares, and search records to explore the user's interest preferences. Based on the analysis results, the user's interests are divided into different categories, such as movies, TV series, variety shows, animation, sports, etc., and further subdivided into specific subcategories such as science fiction movies, costume dramas, outdoor adventure variety shows, etc. Users with similar interests are divided into the same group to form an electronic program guide grouping based on user interests, and the program content is classified according to the electronic program guide grouping to form a program list.

[0057] Optionally, the program content may be divided according to the type of device receiving the program content, such as smart phones, televisions, tablet computers, etc., to form electronic program guide groups, and the format and playback effect of the program content may be optimized for different device types to improve the user experience.

[0058] In this embodiment, by integrating program content information from different broadcast control platforms and using automated tools to determine distribution domains based on content characteristics and target audiences, the solution can efficiently classify program content and generate program schedules. Subsequently, through a precise distribution mechanism, it is ensured that the program schedule can be pushed to the corresponding distribution domain in a timely and accurate manner, thereby improving program scheduling efficiency and user experience.

[0059] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can refer to the above introduction, and will not be repeated later. Figure 2 Before step S40, the program arrangement method further includes steps S70 to S80: Step S70, obtaining the validity period and / or repetition period of the program list.

[0060] It should be noted that the validity period of a program list refers to the time period from the release of the list to its expiration. During this time period, the program content in the list should be played at the scheduled time and in the scheduled manner. The repetition period of a program list refers to the repeated playback mode of the program list or some of the program content therein within a certain period of time. For example, some popular programs may be repeated once or more per week or month. After the program list is distributed to the distribution domain, its validity period and repetition period are managed to ensure that the playback plan of the program content meets the predetermined requirements, while improving the utilization rate of program resources and the user's viewing experience.

[0061] Optionally, a program list management page is designed, which includes two main modules: validity period setting and periodic setting. Among them, the validity period setting module provides a date selector or a time period selector, allowing the user to select a specific date or time period as the validity period of the program list. The periodic setting module provides options for users to select periodic settings, such as daily, weekly (you can select a specific day of the week), monthly (you can select a specific date or periodic days, such as the 1st and 15th of each month), etc. After the user completes the setting, click the Submit button to send the setting request to the back-end service layer. The back-end service layer receives the setting request from the front end, parses the validity period and periodic setting information in the request, and saves the validity period and periodic settings to the corresponding program list record.

[0062] Optionally, if a periodic program list is set, a timed task scheduling may be triggered to generate and distribute the periodic program list according to the periodic setting.

[0063] For example, first configure the scheduled task according to the periodic settings. For example, if a program list is set for every Monday, then the task will be triggered to generate and distribute the program list every Monday. When the scheduled task is triggered, the corresponding program list information is read from the database, a new program list instance is generated according to the periodic settings, and the newly generated program list instance is checked to see if it is still within the validity period. If it is within the validity period, it is distributed to the specified distribution domain. At the same time, the program scheduling system can record the task execution log for subsequent tracking and troubleshooting.

[0064] Optionally, the user is allowed to dynamically adjust the validity period and repetition period of the program list through the program list management page based on factors such as the popularity of the program content, user feedback, etc. For example, if a popular TV series is widely praised after its first broadcast, its validity period can be extended and the number of repetitions can be increased.

[0065] Step S80: If the program list is within the validity period and / or the repetition period, the step of determining the program schedule corresponding to the program list according to the program content information is performed.

[0066] During the validity period or repetition period, a detailed program schedule is generated based on the program content information in the program list, such as program name, broadcast time, broadcast platform, etc. This schedule specifies when and where each program is broadcast, as well as the duration of the broadcast. The program schedule is a specific embodiment of the program broadcast plan, which ensures that the program content can be broadcast according to the scheduled time and method. By generating a program schedule, the program scheduling system can achieve precise control over the program broadcast process.

[0067] Optionally, the program content information includes the program playing time, and step S80 includes step S81: Step S81, generating a program schedule according to the program playing time.

[0068] It should be noted that the program playing time refers to the time from the start to the end of the program playing, for example, 1 hour and 30 minutes. Among them, the program schedule includes the program playing time period, and the program playing time period is less than or equal to the playing time period. The playing time period refers to the time range occupied by the program during the playing process, which is composed of the playing start time and the playing end time. The purpose of generating a program schedule based on the program playing time is to ensure that each program can be played correctly within the predetermined time range, while avoiding time conflicts and improving the playing efficiency.

[0069] For example, the start time and end time of the program are calculated based on the broadcast time and broadcast duration of the program, and the broadcast time period of each program is arranged in chronological order to ensure that the broadcast time periods in the program schedule do not overlap and avoid time conflicts. The generated program schedule is verified, and the broadcast order is adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure that the broadcast duration of all programs is less than or equal to the broadcast time period of the program in the distribution domain or the electronic program guide group to which it belongs. If the duration information of some programs is missing or inaccurate, the user can also manually adjust the broadcast duration of the program through the program list management page.

[0070] In this embodiment, by accurately managing the validity period and repetition period of the program list, it is possible to ensure that the program content is played at the scheduled time and in the scheduled manner, while improving the utilization rate of program resources. Users can dynamically adjust the validity period and repetition mode of the program through the program list management page, such as extending the validity period or increasing the number of plays according to the popularity of the program. In addition, the program scheduling system can generate a detailed program schedule based on the broadcast time and duration of the program, avoid time conflicts, and achieve precise control of the program broadcast process, thereby optimizing the user's viewing experience.

[0071] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 3 After step S81, the program arrangement method further includes steps S82-S83: Step S82: If the program playing time is less than the program playing time period, determine a supplementary program according to the time difference between the program playing time period and the program playing time.

[0072] Step S83, adding the pre-broadcast program to the program list.

[0073] It should be noted that the filler program is an additional program content specially selected to fill the remaining time in the broadcast time period due to insufficient broadcast time of the original program. By adding the filler program, it can be ensured that the broadcast time period can be filled even if the original program is not broadcast for a long enough time, thus maintaining the continuity and attractiveness of the broadcast.

[0074] For example, the broadcast time period and broadcast duration of each program are first determined, and then the difference between the total duration of the broadcast time period and the broadcast duration of the program, i.e., the time difference, is calculated. According to the size of the time difference, a suitable program is selected from the pre-prepared pre-broadcast program library. The pre-broadcast program can be a short video, an advertisement, a trailer, a related program clip, etc. The selected pre-broadcast program is inserted into the program schedule, and the program list is updated to reflect the addition of the pre-broadcast program and the new broadcast schedule.

[0075] Optionally, fixed pre-broadcast programs are pre-set for specific time periods or program types, or pre-broadcast programs are dynamically selected based on the size of the time difference and the current playback environment such as viewer preferences, program types, etc.

[0076] For example, various types of pre-broadcast programs are collected and classified, such as entertainment, education, advertising, etc., and their duration and applicable scenarios are marked. The audience's preference information for pre-broadcast programs is collected through questionnaires, social media interactions, audience feedback, etc., and the audience data is analyzed to evaluate the audience's preference scores for different types of pre-broadcast programs, and the pre-broadcast programs are selected according to the preference scores.

[0077] In this embodiment, the playback efficiency is optimized by intelligently adding pre-broadcast programs. When the program playback time is not long enough to fill the scheduled playback time period, the program scheduling system will automatically calculate the time difference and select suitable programs from the pre-broadcast program library to fill the gap. This dynamic filling strategy not only maintains the continuity of the playback, but also enhances the audience's viewing experience. By analyzing audience preferences and program types, the program scheduling system can select pre-broadcast content that is more in line with the audience's taste, such as short videos, advertisements, or trailers, thereby improving audience satisfaction and program attractiveness.

[0078] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, in the fourth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 4 After step S40, the program arrangement method further includes steps S90 to S100: Step S90: In response to the submission of the program form, the publishing domain field and the electronic program guide grouping field of the program form are obtained.

[0079] Step S100: if the publishing domain field and the electronic program guide grouping field both meet the preset rules, and the submission time is within the validity period and / or the repetition period, the program form is submitted to the review end for review.

[0080] When the user or the program scheduling system triggers the submission action of the program form, the program scheduling system starts to process the request, parses the release domain field and the electronic program guide group field in the program form, obtains their values, and verifies whether the values ​​of the release domain field and the electronic program guide group field meet the requirements according to the preset rules. At the same time, the program scheduling system checks whether the submission time is within the validity period of the form and whether it meets the requirements of the repetition period. If all verifications pass, the program scheduling system executes the submission action, distributes the program form to the specified distribution domain, and publishes it through the specified electronic program guide. If the verification fails, the program scheduling system returns an error message, prompting the user or the program scheduling system administrator to make corrections. By verifying key information such as the release domain field, the electronic program guide group field, and the submission time, it can be ensured that the submission action of the program form meets the business rules and technical requirements, and prevents resource waste and playback confusion caused by incorrect submission.

[0081] Optionally, the program scheduling system verifies the field values ​​of the program form one by one according to a preset rule library to perform compliance checks. Alternatively, preset templates are provided for different types of program forms, and when submitting a form, the user or program scheduling system administrator selects a corresponding template to fill in and submit.

[0082] In this embodiment, by verifying the publishing domain of the program form and the grouping field of the electronic program guide, it is ensured that they comply with the preset rules, and at the same time, it is checked whether the submission time is within the validity period or repetition period of the program form. This process helps to maintain the standardization of program broadcasting and avoid broadcast confusion caused by illegal submission. If all conditions are met, the program scheduling system will execute the submission action and correctly distribute the program form to the specified distribution domain and electronic program guide, thereby ensuring the timely and accurate broadcast of the program content. This method improves the efficiency and accuracy of program management and reduces the waste of resources caused by incorrect submission.

[0083] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, in the fifth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 5 After step S100, the program arrangement method further includes steps S110 to S120: Step S110: If the review is passed, the program list is sent to the transmission platform.

[0084] Step S120: sending the program list to the corresponding distribution domain and / or the electronic program guide group based on the transmission platform.

[0085] It should be noted that the transmission platform refers to the platform responsible for broadcasting the program content in the order of the program schedule, such as a TV station, online platform, streaming media service, etc.

[0086] For example, when the program form is successfully submitted, the program form is sent to the review end, which can be an internal system, a third-party review service, or a person with review authority. The review end reviews the program content in the program form to ensure that its content complies with laws, regulations, ethical standards, and business requirements. During the review process, the program content can be classified, rated, edited, or deleted. The reviewer can perform "pass" and "reject" operations. If the review is passed, the review end will approve the program form and send the program form to the transmission platform. The transmission platform prepares and broadcasts the program content according to the sequence and schedule of the program form. If the review is not passed, the review end will reject the program form and provide modification suggestions or reasons.

[0087] Optionally, based on the approved program list content, identify key information such as the type of program, target audience group, etc., and determine the distribution domain and electronic program guide group to which the program list should be distributed based on these key information and in comparison with the preset distribution strategy and grouping rules. According to the distribution domain and electronic program guide group, configure corresponding transmission parameters, such as target address, port number, transmission protocol, encryption method, etc. On the operation interface of the transmission platform, select the configured transmission task, submit the program list, start the transmission process, and send the program list to the corresponding distribution domain and / or the electronic program guide group.

[0088] Optionally, regardless of whether the program list is within the validity period and / or repetition period, the user or administrator can recycle the program list. After recycling, the original program list will immediately become invalid and will no longer be played. The program scheduling system can record the recycling time, recycling reason and other key information of the program list for subsequent analysis and improvement.

[0089] Optionally, after the program list expires, the program scheduling system automatically updates the relevant records and status to ensure that subsequent operations no longer reference the program list. At the same time, it can remind users or administrators to create or modify new program lists in a timely manner to ensure the continuity and stability of playback.

[0090] In this embodiment, the review by the audit end ensures that the program complies with laws, regulations and business requirements, thereby improving the safety and reliability of program broadcasting. If the review fails, the audit end will provide feedback so that necessary modifications can be made to the program form to maintain the continuity and stability of the broadcast.

[0091] For example, to help understand the implementation process of the program scheduling method obtained by combining this embodiment with the above-mentioned embodiment 1, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 A brief flowchart of a program scheduling method is provided, specifically: Create a new program form based on the program content information, determine the distribution domain of the program form and specify the electronic program guide group, then set the validity period of the program form, which can be a specific date or time period, and specify the repetition period of the program form. After that, the program list in the program form can be edited, supporting the introduction of new programs and adjusting the order of facility programs, which refers to the program schedule. After editing the program list, perform a compliance check on the publishing domain, electronic program guide group, validity period and / or repetition period, etc. If the check fails, continue to edit the program form, save the program form after the check passes, upload the program form for review before publishing, and continue to edit the program form if the review fails, and output the program form after the review passes. Among them, the program form output supports providing a data interface, which can realize real-time request for program form data, and also supports program form data distribution. It can be connected to downstream systems such as transmission platforms through interface specifications, and also supports exporting program forms, which can generate static data files in multiple formats.

[0092] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 The data flow diagram of the program scheduling system in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the program scheduling system can receive program content data from the broadcast control platform through work order synchronization or content data docking, and can also obtain program content data through the data request interface of the transmission platform. The program schedule generated by the program scheduling system can be sent to the transmission platform or the sent program schedule can be recovered from the transmission platform.
