The present disclosure claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201310646642.4, filed in the Chinese Patent Office on Dec. 4, 2013, and entitled “METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING ROLLING BROADCAST WATERMARK”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The embodiments of present disclosure relate to the field of Internet television play interfaces, and in particular to a method and a system for displaying a rolling broadcast watermark.
In the prior art, Internet television, as an emerging technology integrating the technologies of Internet, multimedia, communication and the like, combines the Internet technology with the television technology, and provides all-round media services for all the terminal users connected to the broadband. The Internet television, combining strong network functions with television clients, not only reserves the visual, intuitive, vivid and flexible characteristics of television, but also has the interactive feature of on-demand acquisition of Internet in the process of integrating two media including television and network, and therefore is a new propagation form synthesizing the advantages of the two media. Thus, users not only can watch programs of program stations, but also can find various desired programs in rich network resources through the Internet function.
At present, a service end of Internet television is provided with multiple different play servers for providing various media services such as video-on-demand, live play, rolling broadcast and the like for a user. In order to improve the user experience, rich video contents such as variety show, news, movies and television plays, songs and the like in the play servers are generally played in different “program stations (or program channels)”, such as a movie station, a news station, a music station and the like; or the service types of different video contents in the play servers are played in different “program stations”, such as a live play station, a rolling broadcast station and the like. Then, the user changes different “program stations” by switching to watch different video programs, thus reserving the traditional television watching habit. When video programs are played, each “program station” has different station logo watermarks, and the user can learn the current channel through the station logo watermark; moreover, the video programs played by different “program stations” display corresponding program information in a mode of different program watermarks, so that the user can learn the current played video program information in time.
However, when video programs are played in the rolling broadcast station, different hot video programs are screened from other “program stations” and played, so that the contents of the video programs are incoherent and jumpy, and the screened video programs of the rolling broadcast station cannot generate corresponding program watermarks and current program information in time. Accordingly, when the user watches a video program in the rolling broadcast station, he cannot learn relevant information of the program.
In view of this, the embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and a system for displaying a rolling broadcast watermark, thus solving the technical problem of displaying a rolling broadcast watermark in a rolling broadcast station.

Moreover, “coupling” herein includes any direct and indirect electrical coupling means. Thus, if a first device is coupled to a second device as mentioned in the context, the first device can be directly electrically coupled to the second device, or indirectly electrically coupled to the second device through other devices or coupling means. Described below in the specification are preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, which are used for describing common principles of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than limiting the scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the appended claims should prevail over the protection scope of the present disclosure.
Step 101, a program having no station logo information in program information played by a rolling broadcast station is detected.
Wherein, the station logo information specifically may be formed by any combination of program station type information, program station identification information and/or program information. Of course, the station logo information may also be formed and displayed in other mode, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
It should be noted that, the service end of an Internet television is provided with a plurality of different program stations for playing video programs with rich contents, meanwhile, the Internet television can play programs in traditional cable television stations or digital television stations. Particularly, the rolling broadcast station also has a corresponding service end (e.g., a rolling broadcast server), which is configured to screen programs in each program station, so that hot video programs in different program stations or television stations can be uninterruptedly played, and a user can watch different rich video programs such as movies and television plays, music, variety show or news and the like in the same channel. However, for the program stations of a non-Internet television service end (e.g., local television stations, digital television stations, network stations and the like in each district), the played programs always have watermark logos corresponding to different station logo information (e.g., some programs have logo pattern watermarks of different program stations, while some programs only have watermarks of program names), which do not conform to uniform watermark logos of program stations in the current Internet television, so that when the programs are screened in the service end of the rolling broadcast station, the watermark logos corresponding to the station logo information in the programs may be filtered. Thus, when the programs are played in the rolling broadcast station, it needs to detect a program having no station logo information in program information corresponding to the programs played by the rolling broadcast station.
Step 102, station logo information of a program station corresponding to the program is looked up and acquired according to the detected program.
Different programs are transmitted in a mode of data stream during playing, the data stream corresponding to a program includes corresponding program information including name, resolution and code stream magnitude of the program as well as name and play address of the corresponding program station (the play address of a network station is the domain name of the service end corresponding to the network station), and with regard to a program having no station logo information, a corresponding program station needs to be looked up on the basis of the name or play address information of the corresponding program station in the program information, and then the station logo information of the corresponding program is queried through the corresponding query port in the program station.
Step 103, the station logo information is watermarked, and when a program of the program station is played, the station logo information having a watermark is displayed in a specific area along with the program of the program station.
Regarding step 103, the watermark of the station logo information may be displayed in multiple modes, and the scope or position of the specific area for displaying the watermark may also be displayed in multiple modes. The watermark and the specific area for watermark display can be set by a corresponding service end of the rolling broadcast station or set by a user. Of course, the watermark of the station logo information and the specific area for displaying the watermark can be adjusted in other mode, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
Step 201, a program having no station logo information in program information played by a rolling broadcast station is detected.
In step 201, the station logo information specifically may be formed by any combination of program station type information, program station identification information and/or program information.
Specifically, when a program played in the rolling broadcast station is detected, a play thread corresponding to the rolling broadcast station is detected, wherein the play thread may be the one at the bottom layer of an Internet television system, and the play thread converts data stream (a transmission form of video, formed in the transmission process) transmitted from the service end of the rolling broadcast station through a corresponding play interface into a video program for playing. Different video programs have corresponding program information (the program information is generated during transcoding of the video programs), and corresponding program information can be extracted by detecting the data stream transmitted in the play interface of the play thread, so that the program having no station logo information in the program information can be specifically detected.
Step 202, different program station addresses corresponding to different programs are looked up according to the detected program, and corresponding station logo information is acquired according to the program station address. Wherein, the program station address specifically includes a play address or a domain name.
Step 202 is specifically: URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) of different program stations corresponding to different programs are looked up according to the detected program, and corresponding station logo information is downloaded according to the URL of the program station.
Different program stations are set in different servers (the program stations of the service end of Internet television may be set in the same server, which is not limited herein), then the address of the corresponding program station or the domain name of the server thereof can be extracted from the program information corresponding to the program, namely, URL, and the station logo information of the corresponding program is acquired through a corresponding query port in the program station.
It should be noted that, each program station has a unique URL, and accurate access and query can be performed after the URL is found.
Step 203, the station logo information is watermarked, and when a program of the program station is played, the station logo information having a watermark is displayed in a specific area along with the program of the program station.
Wherein, in step 203, after the station logo information is watermarked, it specifically can be bound with the corresponding program, of course, it can also adopt a code embedding mode or the like, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
Step 203 is specifically: when a program of the program station is played, the station logo information having a watermark and formed by any combination of program station type information, program station identification information and/or program information is displayed in a specific area along with the program of the program station in a scroll mode.
More specifically, the watermark of the station logo information may be displayed in multiple modes, e.g., a scroll bar mode, that is, the watermark of the station logo information is displayed in a scroll bar mode at the upper or lower part of a screen or at a position not influencing the watching experience of a user. Of course, in order to better improve the watching experience of the user, intermittent display may also be adopted, that is, after the watermark of the station logo information is displayed for a period of time, the watermark is concealed. Wherein, the display modes of the watermarks of different station logo information may be set by a user, e.g., customizing the position of a scroll bar, customizing the time interval of intermittent display and the like.
Meanwhile, the range or position of the specific area for displaying the watermark may also be displayed in multiple modes, e.g., the specific area is set to be oblong, square or other geometrical figure, and then the watermark of the station logo information can only be displayed in the specific area in an oblong or square mode.
It should be noted that, after the watermark of the station logo information is generated, the watermark including program station type information, program station identification information and/or program information in the station logo information is dynamically displayed, wherein the dynamic display specifically may be scroll display, gradient alternate display, turnover display and/or other display mode with a dynamic display effect.
In addition, step 203 of performing watermarking process on the station logo information specifically includes: embedding the station logo information into data stream formed by the program in a code form, adjusting the color transparency of the station logo information, and then binding the station logo information with the corresponding program.
