Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Network live streaming processes involving multiple terminals are unstable due to network fluctuations and audio/video source issues, leading to delays and stream pushing blocking.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for managing network live streaming data by determining a target port based on media content features, using a multipoint control device to receive and push stream pushing data from multiple data sources, ensuring optimal adaptation and stability in the live streaming process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If stream pushing is performed for multiple terminals with different network conditions, then content richness is improved, but network stability deteriorates causing delays and blocking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by determining different target ports for different data sources based on their specific network conditions and media content features. Each data source receives customized port assignment rather than uniform treatment, allowing optimal adaptation to individual network characteristics while maintaining overall system stability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the port parameter dynamically based on media content features and network conditions. By selecting appropriate target ports according to specific data source characteristics, the system adapts parameter settings to resolve the contradiction between handling diverse content and maintaining stability
2Device complexity
If a single target port is used for all data sources, then device complexity is reduced, but media content adaptation deteriorates causing network delays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by determining the target port before actual stream pushing begins. The multipoint control device receives the stream pushing parameter, determines the appropriate target port in advance based on media content features, and then uses this pre-determined port for data transmission, avoiding delays during the streaming process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where the multipoint control device acts as a mediator between data sources and the live streaming system. This intermediary determines optimal target ports based on media content features, resolving the conflict between simplicity and adaptation efficiency
Data Source
AI summary
A method for managing network live streaming data and a related apparatus, device and storage medium, the method includes: a stream pushing request transmitted by a data access device is received; a stream pushing parameter set based on a media content feature of stream pushing data from multiple data sources in the data access device is determined; a target port is then determined according to the stream pushing parameter; the stream pushing data transmitted by the data access device is further received through the target port; and the stream pushing data is pushed to a live streaming device, so that the live streaming device plays media content data in a network live streaming process. In this way, a process of combining media content of multiple terminals and performing network live streaming is implemented.
