FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY
The present disclosure relates to Internet data processing technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for controlling publication of network media information.
Network media information is information that is published on the Internet using various display forms (for example, a web page or a client interface) and is in a digital form. Generally, network media information corresponds to a destination web page; and by clicking the network media information, a user can jump to the corresponding destination web page, and content of the destination web page is displayed to the user. How to effectively deliver and display network media information to specific audience and effectively manage the displayed information is a field on which the Internet technology industry currently focuses attention.
Display processing technologies of network media information develop rapidly in recent years, and have already been applied to many industry fields. For example, in the field, of display processing of an Internet advertisement, the Internet advertisement is network media information. A major technology among the display processing technologies of network media information is a technology for controlling publication of network media information.
In a system for controlling publication of network media, information, by submitting a specific quantity of electronic certificates to the publication control system by using an electronic payment system, a user can obtain a service, provided by the publication control system, of publishing corresponding network media information. The electronic certificate is an electronic exchange tool, that is, an electronic payment certificate, which is, for example, in the form of a digital currency or an electronic card. In addition, in the publication control system, quantities of deducted electronic certificates required for publishing network media information are different. A quantity of deducted electronic certificates required for publishing network media information is a parameter based on which exchange between an action of publishing the network media information and electronic certificates is performed (“exchange parameter” for short), and is generally, for example, a price for publishing the network media information,
In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a method, an apparatus, and a system for controlling publication of network media information, which can improve usage of a network resource corresponding to a target network media information display position,
A method for controlling publication of network media information includes:
sending a competition request message to more than one publishing party, the competition request message including a request duration, and the request duration being less than or equal to as total duration of a target display position:
receiving competition reply messages returned by the more than one publishing party; and determining, according to the competition reply messages, whether corresponding publishing parties participate in competition, competition durations of participating in the competition, and competition exchange parameters;
selecting, according to the competition durations and the competition exchange parameters from the publishing parties that participate in the competition, a group of publishing parties whose competition duration sum is less than or equal to the total duration of the target display position and whose competition exchange parameter sum is a maximum value; and sending network media information of the selected publishing parties to the target display position for publishing.
An apparatus for controlling publication of network media information includes:
a competition request module, configured to send a competition request message to more than one publishing party, the competition request message including a request duration, and the request duration being less than or equal to a total duration of a target display position;
a competition reply module, configured to receive competition reply messages returned by the more than one publishing party, and determine, according to the competition reply messages, whether corresponding publishing parties participate in competition, competition durations of participating in the competition, and competition exchange parameters;
a competition computation module, configured to select, according to the competition durations and the competition exchange parameters from the publishing parties that participate in the competition, a group of publishing parties whose competition duration sum is less than or equal to the total duration of the target display position and whose competition exchange parameter sum is a maximum value; and
a publishing module, configured to send network media information of the selected publishing parties to the target display position for publishing
A system for controlling publication of network media information includes a front end display apparatus, the foregoing apparatus for controlling publication of network media information, and a publishing party apparatus;
the front end apparatus being configured to: send a network media information display request to the publication control apparatus when a target display position is opened, receive network media information published by the publication control apparatus, and display the received network media information at the target display position; and
the publishing party apparatus being configured to: receive a competition request message from the publication control apparatus; perform computation according to competition computation logic set by the publishing party apparatus, to determine whether to participate in competition, a competition duration of participating in the competition, and a competition exchange parameter; and return, to the publication control apparatus, a competition reply message that carries information indicating whether to participate in the competition, the competition duration of participating in the competition, and the competition exchange parameter.
By using the method for controlling publication of network media information according to the embodiments of the present invention, a competition duration that can be selected by a publishing party is not necessarily as total duration of a target display position, and is as part or even a small part of the total duration, thereby greatly reducing a probability of giving, up competition by a single publishing party. The present disclosure further combines more than one publishing party that participates in the competition, and publishes a corresponding set of network media information at the target display position. In this way, a probability of displaying network media information at the target display position is greatly increased, and a vacancy rate of a network resource corresponding to the display position is reduced, that is, usage of the network resource is improved, so that the network resource can be fully utilized for the network media information. The network resources include, but are not limited to: resources such as computation, storage, and bandwidth of various computing devices and related devices on which network operation relies, which are, for example, central processing unit (CPU) consumption, memory consumption or bandwidth transmission consumption.
The following describes the present disclosure in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
In a current system for controlling publication of network media information, there appears a technical solution in which network media information that undergoes competition is published at a target display position. The “undergoing competition” refers to that for a certain target display position, real-time competition computation is performed on exchange parameters of network media information provided by multiple publishing parties, and network media information with a maximum exchange parameter of network media information is selected and published at the target display position. For example, in the field of Internet advertisement application, real-time competition computation performed on advertisement exchange parameters provided by multiple publishing parties is also generally referred to as “real time bidding” (RTB).

determining, by the real-time competition computation system 101 after receiving the competition reply, a winning publishing party according to real-time competition computation logic set by the real-time competition computation system 101; and returning data of network media information of the winning publishing party to the video playback page or the video playback client for display.
As shown in
In view of this,
Step 301: Send a competition request message to more than one publishing party, where the competition request message includes a request duration, and the request duration is less than or equal to a total duration of a target display position:
This step may be triggered in the following condition: when a user opens a display terminal having a network media information display position with a specified playback duration, the display terminal sends a network media information display request, where the network media information display request includes information such as an identifier of a target display position and a total duration of the target display position. In the present disclosure, after the network media information display request is received, a procedure of the present disclosure is triggered to perform real-time computation and publish corresponding network media information. Therefore, the publication control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is also a real-time competition computation system.
Certainly, in another embodiment of the present invention, before the display terminal initiates the display request, the publication control apparatus may actively initiate execution of this method, that is, the publication control apparatus performs computation to obtain network media information that needs to be displayed at each target display position; and after the display terminal sends the display request, sends the network media information that needs to be displayed at the target display position to the display terminal for display.
The display terminal may be implemented by using a dedicated client, for example, a video playback client plays a video having a network media information display position; and may also be implemented by using a network browser, for example, a network browser is used to open a video web page having a network media information display position.
In the present disclosure, the network media information display position with a specified playback duration may have various forms, for example, may be a graphical display position with a specified display duration (for example, 30 seconds), such as a banner, and may also be a pre-roll display position with a specified display duration. Certainly, the network media information display position may also be of other network media information display forms such as flash, a text title, and scrolling information.
In this embodiment of the present invention, when a user opens a web page or starts a client, where the web page or the client carries a code of such a network media information display position, the publication control method of the present disclosure is triggered.
For example, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when a user starts a display terminal having a pre-roll network media information display position with a specified playback duration, the display terminal sends a network media information display request to the apparatus for controlling publication of network media information according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the request includes information about a target display position, and the information about the target display position may include an ID and a total duration of the target display position, or the information about the target display position may only include an ID of the display position, so that the publication control apparatus of the present disclosure queries a display position database according to the ID of the display position to obtain a corresponding total duration, where the total duration is a total duration of playing the pre-roil network media information. After receiving the network media information display request from the network media information display terminal, the publication control apparatus of the present disclosure triggers sending of the competition request message to more than one publishing party.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, before the competition request message is sent, the method may further include: determining a publishing party to which the competition request message is sent and a request duration corresponding to the publishing party, where the request duration is less than or equal to the total duration of the target display position.
That is, publishing parties of different types may be preset for different target display positions; and in the present disclosure, specific publishing parties to which the competition request message is sent need to be determined according to a target display position and preset information. In addition, each publishing party corresponds to one request duration, and request duration corresponding to different publishing parties may be the same or different. A specific determining manner may be pre-determined according to a reference parameter of a publishing party. For example, the reference parameter of the publishing party may be credit information; and in the present disclosure, a length of a request duration corresponding to the publishing party may be determined according to the credit of the publishing party. A higher credit indicates a longer length, but a request duration cannot exceed the total duration of the target display position,
In the present disclosure, the publishing party specifically refers to a publishing party competition computation server, and may also be referred to as a publishing party apparatus; and in this embodiment, a publishing party is short for the publishing party competition computation server.
After receiving the competition request message from the publication control apparatus, the publishing party competition computation server performs computation according to competition computation logic set by the competition computation server, to determine whether to participate in a current competition; if yes, determines a competition duration and a competition exchange parameter; and returns a competition reply message that carries the competition duration and the competition exchange parameter to the publication control apparatus.
The competition duration refers to a duration for which network media information of a current publishing party is published at a target display position once this publishing party is selected.
The competition exchange parameter refers to a quantity of electronic certificates expected to be deducted during current publication of network media information, that is, a parameter based on which exchange between an action of publishing the network media information and electronic certificates is performed; for example, in the Internet advertisement field, the parameter generally refers to a price for publishing an advertisement. In the embodiments, an exchange parameter is short for an electronic certificate exchange parameter. An electronic certificate is an electronic exchange tool, that is, an electronic payment certificate, for example, a digital currency or an electronic card.
Step 302: Receive competition reply messages returned by the more than one publishing party; and determine, according to the competition reply messages, whether corresponding publishing parties participate in competition, competition durations of participating in the competition, and competition exchange parameters.
The received competition reply message includes information indicating whether a publishing, party participates in the competition; and if yes, further includes a determined competition duration and as determined competition exchange parameter.
For example, assuming that n publishing parties reply with effective competition reply messages, where an effective competition reply message refers to that a publishing party participates in as current competition, and the competition reply message includes a competition duration and a competition exchange parameter that are determined by the publishing party, the a publishing parties that participate in the competition determine to competition durations, which are separately C1, C2, . . . , Cn; and correspondingly, there are n competition exchange parameters, which are separately P1, P2, . . . , Pn.
In an embodiment, after the receiving competition reply messages returned by the more than one publishing party; and determining, according to the competition reply messages, whether corresponding publishing parties participate in competition, competition durations of participating in the competition, and competition exchange parameters, the method further includes: modifying, according to specified secret bidding competition logic, a competition exchange parameter corresponding to each publishing party. A modification manner may be as follows:
dividing the competition exchange parameter of each publishing party that participates in the competition by a competition duration of the publishing party, to obtain a competition exchange parameter per unit time of the publishing party, that is Pi/Ci, where i is a serial number of the publishing party, Pi is a competition exchange parameter, and Ci is a competition duration.
Modification is performed by using the following formula for each publishing party that participates in the competition:
Wi=min{Ci×Hi, Pi}, where Wi is a competition exchange parameter obtained after modification, where
i is a serial number of the current publishing party, and Hi=max{Qi, Ki}, where a method for determining Qi is: selecting competition exchange parameters per unit time that are less than the competition exchange parameter per unit time of a current publishing party from competition exchange parameters per unit time of all the publishing parties that participate in the competition, and selecting a maximum competition exchange parameter per unit time as Qi from the selected competition exchange parameters per unit time; and a method for determining Ki is: selecting a minimum competition exchange parameter per unit time as Ki from the competition exchange parameters per unit time of all the publishing parties that participate in the competition,
After the foregoing modification, the n competition exchange parameters P1, P2, . . . , Pn are modified to W1, W2, . . . , Wn.
In secret bidding competition logic, for Internet advertisements, the competition exchange parameter may be a bid of a publishing party, and the competition exchange parameter obtained after modification may also be referred to as a winner competition exchange parameter.
For example, in a video advertisement display request, a total duration of a target display position is 45 seconds, and a bottom price for 15 seconds is 7 yuan. Competition durations and bids in collected competition reply messages that are returned after competition computation servers of external publishing parties participate in competition computation specifically include:
publishing party A: 15 seconds, and a bid of 7 yuan publishing party B: 30 seconds, and a bid of 18 yuan; and
publishing party C: 15 seconds, and a bid of 8 yuan; publishing party D: 15 seconds, and a bid of 10 yuan.
According to the secret bidding, competition logic, an average hid per second of each publishing party can be obtained by pre-computation as follows:
publishing party A: 7/15 yuan per second, and publishing party B; 9/15 yuan per second; and
publishing party C: 8/15 yuan per second, and publishing party D: 10/15 yuan per second,
Ranking is performed as follows: D>B>C>A; and bids of the publishing parties after modification can be computed, which are also referred to as transaction prices for charging, and are respectively as follows:
transaction price for charging publishing party A=7/15×15=7 yuan;
transaction price for charging publishing party B 8/15×30=16 yuan;
transaction price for charging publishing party C 7/15×15=7 yuan; and
transaction price for charging publishing party D 9/5×15=9 yuan.
By modifying, according to the foregoing secret bidding competition logic, the competition exchange parameters of the publishing parties that participate in the competition, competition enthusiasm of the publishing parties can be improved, and more publishing parties participate in the competition for the target display position, thereby reducing a vacancy rate of the target display position, and further improving usage of a network resource.
Corresponding to the foregoing secret bidding logic, the competition exchange parameters returned by the publishing parties that participate in the competition may also be directly used without modification; and this manner is referred to as opened bidding logic.
Certainly, in addition to the secret bidding logic, other competition logic may also be used to modify the competition exchange parameters of the publishing parties that participate in the competition.
Step 303: Select, according to the competition durations and the competition exchange parameters (which refer to competition exchange parameters obtained after modification herein and hereinafter if the foregoing competition exchange parameters are modified) from the publishing parties that participate in the competition, a group of publishing parties whose competition duration sum is less than or equal to the total duration of the target display position and whose competition exchange parameter sum is a maximum value.
Assuming that the competition exchange parameters in this step are modified, in this step, selection from the publishing parties that participate in the competition needs to be performed according to the n competition durations C1, C2, . . . , Cn and the n competition exchange parameters W1, W2, . . . , Wn. In this case, a problem to be solved is essentially converted to how to select some publishing parties from the n publishing parties that participate in the competition, to satisfy the conditions that a competition duration sum of the selected publishing parties is less than or equal to the total duration of the target display position, and a competition exchange parameter sum of the selected publishing parties is a maximum value among values of all combinations. This is a typical knapsack problem. A combination that satisfies the foregoing conditions may be selected by using a traverse and exhaustion approach, and may also be solved by using a dynamic programming approach.
In a preferred embodiment, the publishing party combination that satisfies the foregoing conditions may be solved by means of dynamic programming, and specific solving processing is as follows:
For the n publishing parties a1 to an that participate in the competition, selection for each publishing party can only be 0 or 1 (that is, the publishing party is not selected or is selected); therefore, the problem is converted into searching for a 0/1 integer sequence x1 to xn, where xi=0 or xi=1.
Assuming that x1 to xi is an optimal candidate combination selected from i publishing parties a1 to ai that participate M the competition, where xi=0 or xi=1, x1 to x(i−1) must be an optimal candidate combination selected from publishing parties a1 to a(i−1).
F[i][j] is set as the maximum value of the competition exchange parameter sum that can be obtained when publishing parties in an integer sequence x1 to xi are selected from the publishing parties al to ai that participate in the competition and a competition duration sum of the selected publishing parties does not exceed j, where i≧1 and 0≦j≦the total duration of the target display position.
A decision is made according to whether the ith publishing party that participates in the competition is selected or not; and F[i][j] can be computed by using F[i−1][j], which is shown in the following formula (I):
when (j<Ci), F[i][j]=F[i−1][j], and the ith publishing party is not selected; and when
F[i−1][j] represents a maximum value of a competition exchange parameter sum of selected publishing parties, where the maximum value is obtained after some publishing parties are selected from first (i−1) publishing parties that participate in the competition and a competition duration sum of the selected publishing parties is j.
F[i−1][j−Ci]+Wi represents a sum of a maximum value of a competition exchange parameter sum of selected publishing parties and a competition exchange parameter of the ith publishing party, where the maximum value is obtained after some publishing parties are selected from first (i−1) publishing parties that participate in the competition and a competition duration sum of the selected publishing parties is j−Ci. F[i][j] obtained when the ith publishing party is traversed is determined according to whether the ith publishing party that participates in the competition is selected or not, and then a competition duration sum j of selected publishing parties and a maximum value among competition exchange parameter sums of all candidate publishing party combinations can be obtained. In addition, selection conditions of all candidate publishing party combinations a1 to ai are recorded in the computation process. In this way, publishing parties that can be selected to obtain the maximum value of the competition exchange parameter sum can be known.
An example is used below for description:
For example, in a video advertisement display request, a total duration of a target display position is 20 seconds. Competition durations and bids in collected competition reply messages that are returned after competition computation servers of external publishing parties participate in competition computation specifically include:
publishing party A: 5 seconds, and a bid of 5 yuan; publishing party B: 10 seconds, and a bid of 12 yuan; and
publishing party C: 4 seconds, and a bid of 3 yuan: publishing party D: 15 seconds, and a bid of 16 yuan.
An initial value F[0][j] is 0. 1≦i≦4 and 0≦j≦20. Starting from i=0 and j=0, traverse computation is performed according to the foregoing formula (1) on selection conditions of the publishing parties that participate in the competition, and in this way, values of F[i][j] shown in Table 1 can be computed; and selection information of the publishing parties a1 to ai that participate in the competition is recorded during each computation, that is, values of x1 to xi are determined, where a value is 0 if a publishing party is selected; otherwise, the value is 1.
The maximum value of F[i][j] is selected from the foregoing traverse computation results, and corresponding i and j are determined, where as shown in Table 1, the maximum value is 21, and corresponding i and j are respectively 4 and 20; and selected publishing parties corresponding to the maximum value are determined according to the recorded selection information as a selection result, and the selection result is then output. For example, values of x1 to xi herein may be (1, 0, 0, 1), which indicates that publishing party A and publishing party D are selected as selected publishing parties and are processed in subsequent steps, and a maximum value of a competition exchange parameter sum of the selected publishing parties is 21 (F[4][20]).
It is assumed that the total duration of the target display position is 20 in the above example liar ease of description. In practice, a playback duration of network media information may be 60 seconds or any other value; and a duration of network media information for which a bid is made may also be a more standard value such as 5 seconds, 10 seconds, or 15 seconds.
Step 304: Send network media information of the selected publishing parties to the target display position for publishing.
In this step, in a specific method, the network media information of the selected publishing parties may be sent, according to display durations, to the target display position for publishing, where a display duration of network media information of each publishing party is a competition duration in a competition reply message returned by the publishing party.
More specifically, the publication control apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention may return a list of the network media information of the selected publishing parties to a display terminal, where the list includes content of and a competition duration corresponding to each piece of the network media information; and the display terminal sequentially displays corresponding network media information at a target display position according to the competition duration of each piece of the network media information. For example, according to the foregoing example, publishing party A and publishing party D are selected, and competition durations of publishing party A and publishing party D are respectively 5 seconds and 15 seconds; and in this way, the display terminal sequentially displays, at the target display position, that is, in the pre-roll, network media information of publishing party A for 5 seconds and network media information of publishing party D for 15 seconds.
Further, after the network media information of the selected publishing parties is sent to the target display position for publishing and displaying, the method may further include: charging a selected publishing party according to a competition exchange parameter of the corresponding publishing party. For example, publishing party A and publishing party D are finally selected in the foregoing example; and then, a total charged price is 5+16=21 yuan.
Memory 806 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid state memory devices; and, optionally, includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, one or more optical disk storage devices, one or more flash memory devices, or one or more other non-volatile solid state storage devices.
