DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to present the purposes, technical solutions and advantages in the embodiments of the disclosure more clearly, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure as set forth below are described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the disclosure. It is obvious that the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the disclosure, but not all. Based on the embodiments of the disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts are also within the scope of the disclosure.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for online playing a video stream in an embodiment of the disclosure. The method for online playing the video stream in the embodiment is suitable for terminal equipment. The terminal equipment may be a mobile phone, a computer, a game console, an automotive console, a tablet device, a medical equipment, a fitness equipment, a personal digital assistants and the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes following steps S10-S11.

In the step S10, slice data encrypted slice by slice from a server is acquired according to a time parameter of a video slice, and the acquired slice data is decrypted to acquire the video slice.

First, choose kinds of video to play, such as a movie, TV show, variety show, etc., and then use ffmpeg (Fast Forward Mpeg) or another video cutting tool to slice the video to play to acquire a plurality of slices. For example, based on a 60-second video and each of the slices corresponding to 5 second, 12 slice files are generated after slicing. After that, encrypt each of the slices slice by slice. The encrypted slices are formed slice data in order of time, and the slice data is stored in a server for being requested for playing.

The video encrypting operation mainly includes a whole encryption and a partial encryption. According to the method of the embodiment, all the slices of the whole video stream are encrypted, and each of the encrypted slices are stored in the server in order of time.

The terminal equipment acquires the slice data encrypted slice by slice from the server according to the time parameter of the video slice, and decrypts the acquired slice data to acquire the video slice.

In the step S11, the video slice is added to a buffer for online playing.

The acquired video slice is added to the buffer in order of time, and is online played successively in chronological order. The played video may be a whole content or a part content of a movie, TV show, variety show, etc. A point at which starts to play or a point at which stops playing of the video is determined by the user. A start point or a stop point of the video is determined by the user. The buffer is empty when the video is played at the beginning. As the playing progress goes on, data in the buffer is endeavored to be added.

The terminal equipment adds the video slice to the buffer for online playing.

In the embodiment, the terminal equipment acquires the slice data encrypted slice by slice from the server according to the time parameter of the video slice, decrypts the acquired slice data to acquire the video slice, and adds the video slice to the buffer for online playing. Every time when the video is started to play, the time t is set to 0. As the playing progress goes on, the time parameter t is updated, and the slice data is requested for sending. For example, when playing the video at the beginning, the video player requests for one of the slices based on the time parameter t=0, then the backend server returns the first slice. After acquiring the first slice, the video player requests for other slices based on t=1×slice format and t=2×slice format, then the backend server returns the corresponding second and third slices. The video player acquires the slice data and decrypts it. In the process above, the principle of slicing is applied, it is to slice the original video to acquire a plurality of slices, encrypt each of the slices, then decrypt each of the slices and add them to the buffer for online playing. In this way, it is easy to realize the encryption of the video and convenient to switch the code rate and video resolution. The user can encrypt and online play the video stream without purchasing complex commercial digital rights management (DRM).

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the step S10 is further implemented as the flowing steps S100-S103.

In the step S100, a request of the slice data of a video stream is sent to the server.

In the step S101, a preset slice format of the video stream is acquired from the server.

When the server transcodes the whole video file into a slice stream for online playing, the server sets a slice interface, the slice format of the video stream is specified in the slice interface. In the slice format, length of each of the slices may be the same or different. For example, one slice is corresponding to 5 second, or one slice is corresponding to 10 second and so on. The length of each of the slices may be irregular. For example, the first slice is corresponding to 2 second, the second slice is corresponding to 4 second, and the third and other slices are corresponding to 5 second. The examples above are just exemplary explanations for the slice format, but do not limit the scope of application.

In the step S102, the time parameter of the video slice is determined according to the preset slice format and the slice data encrypted slice by slice is acquired from the server.

For example, based on the acquired slice format, if of the first slice is 2 second, the second slice is 4 second, and the third and other slices are 5 second, the time parameters used for acquiring slice data are t=0, t=2, t=6, t=11, t=16 Thus, the slice data is acquired according to the time parameter determined.

In the step S103, the acquired slice data is decrypted to acquire video slice.

In the embodiment, the slice format of the video stream is acquired first, because it is beneficial to acquire the slice data fast. Especially when dealing with a video stream with different lengths of slices, it is more beneficial to request the server for the slice data fast and accurately.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the step S102 is further implemented as the following steps S1020-S1021.

In the step S1020, a slice amount for continuous requests is determined according to a preset buffer time of the buffer and the preset slice format.

For example, if the preset buffer time is 15 second and the preset slice format is 5 second, the slice amount for continuous requests is 3, that is, to successively request for the slice data corresponding to t=0, t=5, t=10, and add the requested slice data to the buffer. The examples above are just exemplary explanations for the slice amount for continuous requests, but do not limit the scope of the disclosure.

In the step S1021, the slice data encrypted slice by slice is acquired from the server according to the slice amount.

For example, if the slice amount is 3 and the preset slice format is 5 second, the slice data encrypted slice by slice and acquired successively from the server is corresponding to t=0, t=5, t=10. The examples above are just exemplary explanations for the slice data acquired successively, but do not limit the scope of disclosure.

In the embodiment, the slice data to be acquired successively is determined according to the buffer time and the slice format. It is beneficial to acquire buffer data faster, and shorten the waiting time from loading to online playing the video. Thus, improve the user's watching experience.

In an embodiment, the method further includes the following steps S12-S13.

In the step S12, the time parameter closest to a target timing of an adjusting operation for playing progress is determined when the adjusting operation for the playing progress is detected.

When the user performs the adjusting operation for the playing progress(seek operation), the video player clears the buffer first, and determines a key time point closest to the target timing to send a plurality of requests, the number of the requests to send is determined according to the slice amount for continuous requests. For example, the number of the requests is 3.

For example, when the user performs the seek operation by using the progress bar of the video player and dragging the progress bar to 26 second, the terminal equipment deals with the corresponding timing. In detail, the terminal equipment determines a multiple of the slice format closest to the time point. For example, when the slice format is 5 second, the time parameter closest to 26 second is t=25.

In the step S13, the slice data from the server is acquired according to the closest time parameter.

For example, if the time parameter closest to 26 second is t=25, the slice data of time parameter t=25 is acquired from the server.

In the embodiment, the user can achieve the operations of fast forward online playing, fast rewind online playing and online playing based on a specific time, etc. Thus, the embodiment meets the requirements of real-time performance and manipulability, etc.

In an embodiment, the step S13 is further implemented as the following steps S130-S132.

In the step S130, the buffer is cleared.

Before the step of acquiring the slice data from the server according to the closest time parameter, all the data in the buffer are cleared to facilitate the placement of the acquired slice data.

In the step S131, the slice data from the server is acquired according to the closest time parameter, and decrypt the acquired slice data to acquire the video slice corresponding to the closest time parameter.

In the step S132, the video slice corresponding to the closest time parameter is added to the buffer.

In the embodiment, before the step of acquiring the slice data corresponding to the time parameter closest to the target timing, the buffer is cleared. It is beneficial for fast buffering the slice data starting form the time parameter closest to the target timing, shortening the waiting time from loading to online playing the video, and the user's watching experience is improved.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a method for online playing a video stream in an embodiment of the disclosure. The method for online playing the video stream in the embodiment is suitable for a server. The method includes the following steps S20-S22.

In the step S20, slice data encrypted slice by slice of a video slice is stored.

All the video slices of the video stream have been encrypted slice by slice and been stored in the server in order of time.

In the step S21, a request for acquiring the slice data is received from a client, the request includes a time parameter of the video slice.

The request for acquiring the slice data includes a flag of the video stream. The server determines the video stream requested by the client according to the flag. The request for acquiring the slice data further includes the time parameter of the requested video slice of the video stream. The first time parameter of the video slice is set to 0. The time parameters of the follow-up other slices are determined according to the slice formats(time lengths of the slices). For example, if time length of each of the video slices is 5 second, the time parameters of the video slices are t=0, t=5, t=10 The server determines the slice data requested by the client according to the time parameters.

In the step S22, the slice data encrypted slice by slice is sent to the client for online playing in the client.

The slice data of the video slice corresponding to the time parameter is sent to the client, and the client decrypts the slice data slice by slice to acquire the video slice for online playing.

In the embodiment, the principle of slicing is applied, it is to slice the original video to acquire a plurality of slices, encrypt each of the slices, and then send the slice data corresponding to the time parameter to the client according to the request from the client. In this way, it is easy to realize the encryption of the video and convenient to switch the code rate and video clarity. The user can encrypt and online play the video stream without purchasing complex commercial DRM.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the step S20 is further implemented as the following steps S201-S202.

In the step S201, the video slice is encrypted slice by slice.

The server slices a original video file to generate the video stream including the plurality of video slices, and encrypts all the video slices respectively by using a preset encryption algorithm to acquire the slice data encrypted slice by slice.

The server may encrypt all the video slices respectively by using the same encryption algorithm, and the client may perform corresponding decryption to acquire each of the video slices for online playing. Or, for the purpose of being corresponding to different permission of the clients, the server may encrypt the video slices by using different encrypting algorithm. For example, the first 50 slices are encrypted by using the first encrypt algorithm encrypt, the subsequent 500 slices are encrypted by using the second encrypt algorithm encrypt. The client is preset to be able to decrypt the slice data encrypted by the first encrypt algorithm, but unable to decrypt the slice data encrypted by the second encrypt algorithm. After acquiring the corresponding authorization from the server, the client is able to decrypt the slice data encrypted by the second encrypt algorithm. In this way, the other part of the video stream is related to different copyright restriction. After the client pays for the copyright of the video stream, the client acquires the corresponding authorization from the server to decrypt the slice data encrypted by the second encrypt algorithm. Thus, it facilitates the copyright management of the video service provider's video resources.

In the step S202, the slice data encrypted slice by slice of the video slice is stored.

In the embodiment, the server slices and encrypts the original video file, and locally stores the slice data encrypted slice by slice.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the step S20 is further implemented as the following steps S203-S204.

In the step S203, the slice data encrypted slice by slice of the video slice is received.

The video stream is sliced and encrypted slice by slice by another terminal equipment or another server, like the computer or transcoding server, etc., by which the editorial staff of video service provider use. The video slice may be encrypted slice by slice by the same encrypt algorithm. Or, the video slice may be encrypted slice by slice by using different encrypting algorithms. In this way, different copyright restrictions related to the different parts of the video stream are achieved.

The server receives the slice data encrypted slice by slice and uploaded by the other terminal equipment or the other server.

In the step S204, the slice data encrypted slice by slice of the video slice is stored.

In the embodiment, the server stores the slice data encrypted slice by slice and uploaded by the other terminal equipment or the other server. The operations of slicing the original video file and encrypting slice by slice the original video file may be finished by the other terminal equipment or the other server, In order to achieve balance of loading and prevent excessive pressure in the server.

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the step S21 is further implemented as the following steps S211-S213.

In the step S211, the request for acquiring the slice data of the video stream is received from the client.

The corresponding the slice data of the video stream is requested according to a video stream flag. For example, a channel flag, program flag and file name, etc.

In the step S212, a preset slice format of the video stream is returned to the client.

When the server slices the original video file, the server usually set a slice interface, the slice interface includes the preset slice format. In the slice format, length of each of the slices may be the same or different. For example, one slice is corresponding to 5 second, or one slice is corresponding to 10 second, and so on. The length of each of the slices may be irregular. For example, the first slice is corresponding to 2 second, the second slice is corresponding to 4 second, and the third and other slices are corresponding to 5 second. The server returns the preset slice format corresponding to the video stream to the client.

In the step S213, the request for acquiring the slice data is received from the client based on the time parameter determined by the client according to the preset slice format.

The request received by the server includes the time parameter determined according to the preset slice format. For example, if the acquired preset slice format of the first slice is 2 second, the acquired preset slice format of the second slice is 4 second, and the acquired preset slice formats of the third and other slices are 5 second, the time parameter used for acquiring slice data are t=0, t=2, t=6, t=11, t=16 Thus, the slice data is acquired according to the time parameter determined.

In the embodiment, the slice format of the video stream is acquired first, because it is beneficial to acquire the slice data fast. Especially when dealing with the video stream with different lengths of slices, it is more beneficial to request the server for the slice data fast and accurately.
