Abstract

A video optimisation system and method. When the video optimisation system receives an access request sent by a client for a source video resource, the video optimisation system determines that at least one transcoding video resource corresponding to a video resource is cached in a video cache system. According to a current network congestion state, the video optimisation system determines, from within the source video resource and the at least one transcoding video resource, a transcoding video resource capable of transmission at the current network congestion state, and sends the obtained transcoding video resource to the client. The video optimisation system thus sends transcoding video resources having different bit rates to the client on the basis of different network congestion states, i.e. when network congestion is severe, a transcoding video resource having a low bit rate is sent, and when the network congestion state is light, a transcoding video resource having a high bit rate is sent. A smoother video resource can thus be provided to the client, and user experience is also improved.

Description

When the terminal sends a video access request to a video provider, the video optimization system The video access request will also be obtained. The video optimization system first matches the cache system to match whether there is a video resource corresponding to the access request. If there is a video resource in the cache system, the video optimization system will directly read the video from the cache system.

detailed description

When the client initiates a video access request to the video service provider that provides the video service, the video optimization system will also receive the video access request, and the video optimization system first queries the cache system whether the video resource that the user needs to access is cached. When the video resource is cached in the system, the video optimization system directly reads the video resource from the cache system and forwards the video resource to the client; if the video resource does not exist in the cache system, the video optimization system acquires the video resource from the network server. Video resources, and forward the obtained video resources to the client.

Therefore, the video optimization system in the above solution can only send the source video resources provided by the network server to the client. In the case of serious network congestion, the video optimization system can only send the source video file to the client, which will result in a video optimization system. The video resource transfer between the client and the client is slower and cannot even be transmitted.

In order to solve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present invention, a video optimization system is provided, including a determining module, a processing module, and a sending module, and a determining module, configured to determine a cache when receiving an access request of a video resource sent by the client. At least one transcoded video resource corresponding to the requested source video resource is cached in the system, and is used for determining, in the source video resource and the at least one transcoded video resource, the transcoded video resource that is supported in the previous network congestion state, and sending A module for sending the determined video resource to the client. The video optimization system can provide the client with video resources that use the network congestion state based on different network congestion states, for example, providing a low-code rate transcoding video resource when the congestion state is severe, and providing when the network congestion state is not serious. The high-rate transcoded video resource or the source video resource not only makes full use of the network resources, but also enhances the user experience.

The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below through the drawings and specific embodiments, and should be considered The technical features in the embodiments of the present invention and the embodiments are merely illustrative and not limiting of the technical solutions of the present invention.

Embodiment 1:

The embodiment of the present invention further provides a video optimization system, as shown in FIG. 2, which is a schematic structural diagram of a video optimization system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system includes:

The determining module 201 is configured to: when receiving the access request of the source video resource sent by the client, determine that at least one transcoded video resource corresponding to the requested source video resource is cached in the cache system;

The processing module 202 is configured to determine, in the source video resource and the at least one transcoded video resource, a transcoded video resource that supports transmission in a previous network congestion state;

The sending module 203 is configured to send the obtained transcoded video resource to the client.

Specifically, when the video optimization system receives the video access request from the client, the determining module 201 in the video optimization system first determines whether the video resource is cached in the cache system, where the video resources cached in the cache system are The possibility, for example, may be a source video resource, that is, a video resource that has not undergone transcoding, and may of course be a source video resource and a transcoded transcoded video resource.

If the video resource corresponding to the video access request of the client is the source video resource in the cache system, the video optimization system can only return the source video resource to the client;

If the video resource corresponding to the video access request of the client is a transcoded video resource in the cache system, the video optimization system may select to return the transcoded video resource to the client, and the specific selection manner is as follows:

Manner 1: If there is only one type of transcoded video resource cached by the cache system, the video optimization system will obtain the current network congestion status between the client and the client. When the network congestion is not serious, the source video resource is returned to the client. If the network congestion status is serious, the transcoded video resource corresponding to the source video resource is returned to the client.

Manner 2: If the cached video resources cached by the cache system include multiple types, for example, the transcoded video resources include the following three types:

a transcoded video resource having a resolution of 240P, a frame rate of 25, a codec format of H264, and a code rate of 322 kpbs;

Transcoding with resolution 360P, frame rate 25, codec format H264, code rate 732kpbs Frequency resource

a transcoded video resource having a resolution of 480P, a frame rate of 25, a codec format of H264, and a code rate of 1205 kpbs;

In this case, the video optimization system needs to determine which type of transcoded video resource to send. At this time, the video optimization system will acquire the current state of network congestion, and the processing module 202 in the video optimization system will acquire all the transcoded video resources. a code rate corresponding to each transcoded video resource, determining, in each of the obtained code rates, a code rate that is transmitted in a current network congestion state, and determining a location in the at least one transcoding resource based on the determined code rate. The transcoded video resource corresponding to the code rate is used as a transcoded video resource that supports transmission in a pre-network congestion state.

For example, when the network congestion status is serious, the processing module 202 selects 322 kpbs among the three code rates of 1205 kpbs, 732 kpbs, and 322 kpbs, and then determines the transcoded video resource corresponding to the code rate, that is, has a resolution of 240P, Transcoding video resources with a frame rate of 25, a codec format of H264, and a code rate of 322 kpbs can ensure that the transcoded video resources can be smoothly transmitted to the client when the network is heavily congested by selecting a transcoded video resource with a low bit rate. The ability to view the video of the process while also ensuring the quality of the video resources.

If the network congestion status is not serious, the video optimization system will determine a high-code rate transcoded video resource, that is, a transcoded video having a resolution of 480P, a frame rate of 25, a codec format of H264, and a code rate of 1205 kpbs. The resource then sends the high-rate video resource to the client; of course, when the network congestion status is not serious, the source video resource can also be directly sent to the client.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, when the video optimization system obtains the video resource access request from the client, it is determined whether at least one transcoded video resource corresponding to the video resource is cached in the cache system, and at least the video resource corresponding to the cached system is cached in the cache system. When transcoding a video resource, the video optimization system determines, according to the current network congestion status, the transcoded video resource that can be smoothly transmitted in the current network congestion state in the source video resource and the at least one transcoded video resource, and acquires The transcoded video resource is sent to the client, so that the video optimization system dynamically adjusts the video resource sent to the client based on different network congestion states, that is, when the network congestion is severe, the low-rate transcoded video resource is sent. When the network congestion status is light, the high-rate transcoded video resource or the source video resource is sent, so that the video optimization system can smoothly transmit the video resources required by the user to the client under the premise of ensuring the video quality, thereby improving The user experience.

Embodiment 2:

In the embodiment of the present invention, the video buffer system supports transcoding video resources of different code rates, and the present invention is implemented as shown in FIG. 3, in order to enable the video optimization system to provide the client with a transcoded video resource that supports different network congestion states. A schematic diagram of a structure of a video caching system, the video caching system includes:

The management module 301 is configured to obtain the source video attribute information of the cached source video resource, and determine at least one destination video attribute information according to the source video attribute information of the source video resource, where the destination video attribute information is obtained by transcoding the source video resource. Video attribute information of the destination video;

The sending module 302 is configured to send the source video resource and the source video attribute information and the at least one destination video attribute information to the transcoding system;

The cache module 303 is configured to receive at least one transcoded video resource obtained by transcoding the source video resource according to the source video attribute information and the at least one destination video attribute information returned by the transcoding system, and receive the at least the received video resource A transcoded video resource is cached, wherein different transcoded video resources are supported for transmission in different network congestion states.

Further, in order to ensure that the video resources with higher client request frequency can be cached into the video cache system in time, the video cache system needs to cache the video resources with higher frequency of the client request, specifically, in the video cache system. The total number of access requests for each video resource will be counted. If the total number of access requests for a video resource exceeds a preset threshold, the video cache system will send the video resource acquisition request to the network server, and receive the video returned by the network server. After the resource is cached, the video resource is cached, and the cached video resource is the source video resource.

After the video cache system caches the video resources returned by the network server, the management module 301 calculates the total number of accesses of each of the source video resources of the cached video resources. If there is a source video resource whose total number of access requests exceeds the threshold, then The source video resource is used as a source video resource that can be transcoded. For example, the total number of access requests of a certain source video resource is 550, and the threshold set in the management module 301 is 500. When frequently requested, the management module 301 will generate a transcoding task for video transcoding of the source video resource.

Based on the transcoding task, the management module 301 will obtain and obtain source video attribute information of the source video resource. The source video attribute information here must include at least a code rate, that is, 1367 kpbs. Of course, the source video attribute information may further include one of video resolution, format, frame rate, and coded format. Or several types, for example, the video attribute information of the source video resource may be: resolution 720P, frame rate 25, video format FLV, code rate 1367 kbps.

After the management module 301 obtains the source video attribute information of the source video resource, the management module 301 acquires a rating parameter that characterizes the quality of the video resource by the user, and determines a video attribute that represents the video resource attribute corresponding to the rating parameter that is greater than the equal threshold. Information, and the determined video attribute information is used as the destination video attribute information. For example, the management module 301 retrieves a user experience quality (English: Quality of Experience, QoE) model that stores user experience parameters, and stores a correspondence between user experience quality and video attribute information in the QoE model, such as Table 1 shows:

Table 1

The higher the experience score is, the better the user experience is, and each user experience corresponds to the video attribute information. Each of the experience scores in Table 1 corresponds to three video attribute information, for example, the corresponding video attribute information of 4.0. It includes:

Resolution 240P, frame rate 25, code format H264, code rate 322kpbs;

Resolution 360P, frame rate 25, code format H264, code rate 732kpbs;

Resolution 480P, frame rate 25, code format H264, code rate 1205kpbs.

After the management module 301 obtains the source attribute information of the source video resource, the at least one video attribute information with the experience score greater than or equal to 4.0 may be determined as the target view based on the QoE model. Frequency attribute information.

For example, the source video attribute information acquired by the management module 301 is: resolution 720P, frame rate 25, code format H264, code rate 1367kpbs, based on the data recorded in the QoE model, the user experience score is 4.0 in the QoE model. The video attribute information is as follows:

Resolution 240P, frame rate 25, code format H264, code rate 322kpbs; or

Resolution 360P, frame rate 25, code format H264, code rate 732kpbs; or

Resolution video attribute information of resolution 480P, frame rate 25, codec format H264, code rate 1205kpbs, of course, in the actual application, one of the destination video attribute information may be selected, or two or more may be selected. This is not limited in the embodiment of the invention.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the user's experience with the video resource, the selected target video attribute information is the highest user experience score, such as the video attribute information corresponding to 4.0 in Table 1, but in actual The application may select video attribute information corresponding to different experience scores according to different application scenarios, for example, the destination video attribute information corresponding to the experience score of 3.5 may be selected.

Based on the content described above, after acquiring the source video attribute information of the source video resource, the management module 301 can determine at least one destination video attribute information based on the source video attribute information.

After the management module 301 obtains the source video resource and the at least one destination attribute information, in order to ensure the security of the system, of course, to ensure the stability of the entire system, the transcoding system needs to authenticate the video cache system, so the management module 301 will The authentication request carrying the identification information of the video caching system is sent to the video transcoding system, where the identification information may be, but is not limited to, the IP address of the video caching system, and the video transcoding system receives the authentication request carrying the identification information. Then, the video transcoding system matches the identification information in the authentication request with the pre-stored identification information. If the video transcoding system matches, the video transcoding system sends the response information of the successful authentication to the management module 301.

After the authentication is successful, the management module 301 will notify the sending module 302 of the video caching system.

The sending module 302 will apply to the video transcoding system for transcoding resources. Simply speaking, it is determined whether the video transcoding system can provide sufficient transcoding resources to transcode the source video resources, so the sending module 302 will transcode. The system sends a transcoding request for applying the transcoding resource, and the source video attribute information and the at least one destination video attribute information are carried in the transcoding request.

The transcoding system passes the source video attribute information in the transcoding request and at least one destination video genus Sexual information can determine whether there are enough transcoding resources to transcode the source video resources.

If the sending module 302 receives the response information that the transcoding system returns the application for the transcoding resource failure, the sending module 302 is in a waiting state, that is, the source video resource in the buffer module 303 is not sent to the video transcoding system. This avoids the problem that the video buffering system blindly transmits the source video resources to the transcoding system, which causes the processing pressure of the transcoding system to increase, or causes the video transcoding system to be abnormal.

If the sending module 302 receives the response information of the transcoding resource application successfully returned by the video transcoding system, the sending module 302 sends the source video resource buffered in the buffer module 303 to the video transcoding system, so that the video transcoding system can Transcoding based on source video resources.

After the transcoding of the video transcoding system is completed, at least one transcoded video resource after the transcoding is completed is sent to the video buffer system, and after the buffering module 303 in the video caching system receives the transcoded video resource, it will receive At least one transcoded video resource is cached.

After the cache module 303 successfully caches the transcoded video resource, the cache module 303 sends a cached success message to the video transcoding system to enable the video transcoding system to determine to complete the video transcoding based on the information. At the same time, the cache module 303 notifies the management module 301 to delete the previously established transcoding task. Of course, the untranscoded source video resource is also saved in the cache system.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the source video resource that is cached in the video cache system is frequently accessed, the video cache system acquires source video attribute information of the source video resource and at least one destination video attribute corresponding to the source video resource. And transmitting the source video resource, the source video attribute information, and the at least one destination video attribute information to the video transcoding system, and then receiving at least one transcoded video resource returned by the video transcoding system, where the code rate of the transcoded video resource is less than The code rate of the source video resource, and finally the video buffer system will cache the transcoded video resource, thereby realizing the buffering of the transcoded video resources of different code rates by the video caching system, and improving the utilization of the video caching system.

Further, since the video buffer system caches transcoded video resources of different code rates, the video buffer system can provide transcoded video resources of different code rates for the video optimization system, so that the video optimization system can cache according to the current network congestion status. The system selects the transcoded video resource suitable for transmission in the current network state and sends it to the client. Under the premise of ensuring the video quality, the video transmission fluency between the video optimization system and the client is improved, and the user's Use experience.

Embodiment 3:

A video transcoding system is also provided in the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a video transcoding system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The video transcoding system includes:

The transcoding management module 401 is configured to receive the source video resource to be transcoded and the source video attribute information corresponding to the source video resource and the at least one destination video attribute information that are sent by the cache system;

The transcoding module 402 is configured to transcode the source video resource into at least one transcoded video resource based on the source video attribute information and the at least one destination video attribute information;

The sending module 403 is configured to send the at least one transcoded video resource to the cache system.

First of all, in the video transcoding system in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the stability and security of the system, the cache system needs to be authenticated before transcoding, so the source code is received in the transcoding management module 401. Before the attribute information and the destination attribute information, the transcoding management module 401 further receives the authentication request sent by the cache system, where the authentication request carries the identification information of the cache system, which may be, but is not limited to, an IP address.

If the identification information does not match the pre-stored identification information in the video transcoding system, the video transcoding system will not provide a transcoding service for the caching system.

If the identification information matches the pre-stored identification information in the video transcoding system, the transcoding management module 401 of the video transcoding system returns the response information of the successful authentication to the cache system.

Due to the limited processing capability of the video transcoding system, before the video transcoding, the video caching system needs to apply for transcoding resources to the video transcoding system, so the video caching system sends the response information to the video transcoding system based on the successful response information. Applying a transcoding request for transcoding resources, the transcoding request carries source video attribute information of the source video resource to be transcoded and at least one destination video attribute information.

After receiving the transcoding request, the transcoding management module 401 in the video transcoding system determines the code rate of the source video resource from the source video attribute information, and determines, from the at least one destination video attribute information, each video attribute information. The code rate, for example, the code rate in the source video attribute information is 1367kpbs, and the destination attribute information has three in total, and the corresponding code rates are: 1205kpbs, 732kpbs, 322kpbs.

Based on the obtained code rate, the video transcoding system determines that the source video resources with a code rate of 1367 kpbs need to be transcoded into transcoded video resources with a code rate of 1205 kpbs, 732 kpbs, and 322 kpbs, respectively. Under such preconditions, the transcoding management module 401 will statistically calculate whether the transcoding resource that can be used in the current transcoding system can complete the transcoding task. If the transcoding task cannot be completed, the transcoding management module 401 will A wait instruction is generated and sent to the cache system to instruct the video cache system to wait for video transcoding.

If the transcoding management module 401 determines that the current transcoding resource can complete the transcoding task, the transcoding management module 401 generates a response message indicating that the transcoding resource application is successful, and sends the response information to the video buffer system.

The video caching system will send the source video resource to be transcoded to the video transcoding system based on the response information.

After the transcoding management module 401 receives the source video resource to be transcoded, the transcoding management module 401 transfers the source video resource to the transcoding module 402, and the transcoding module 402 will be based on the source video resource and the source video resource of the source video resource. The information and at least one destination attribute information are transcoded, and the video resource after transcoding by the video transcoding system has the destination video attribute information, as follows:

The source video attribute information of the source video resource is: resolution 720P, frame rate 25, video format FLV, and code rate 1367 kbps.

The destination video attribute information is:

Resolution 240P, frame rate 25, code format H264, code rate 322kpbs;

Resolution 360P, frame rate 25, code format H264, code rate 732kpbs;

Resolution 480P, frame rate 25, code format H264, code rate 1205kpbs.

The final transcoding system transcodes the source video resource to:

a transcoded video resource having a resolution of 240P, a frame rate of 25, a codec format of H264, and a code rate of 322 kpbs;

a transcoded video resource having a resolution of 360P, a frame rate of 25, a codec format of H264, and a code rate of 732 kpbs;

A transcoded video resource having a resolution of 480P, a frame rate of 25, a codec format of H264, and a code rate of 1205 kpbs.

After the transcoded video resource is obtained, the obtained at least one transcoded video resource is sent to the video cache system for buffering by the sending module 403.

When the video transcoding system receives the response information returned by the video buffer system to characterize the cache success Thereafter, the video transcoding system will determine that the transcoding is complete and delete the transcoding task.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the video transcoding system transcodes the source video resource into at least one transcoded video resource, each transcoded video resource, based on the source video resource, the source video attribute information, and the at least one destination video attribute information sent by the cache system. Each has a destination video attribute information, such as transcoding the source video resource into a plurality of transcoded video resources having different code rates, and finally the video transcoding system sends all the transcoded video resources to the video buffer system for caching, so The video transcoding system implements transcoding of multiple video attributes of the source video resource, and the video transcoding system also implements video transcoding of multiple bit rates.
