HTTP real-time streaming-based multimedia content providing method and device, and terminal device

[0032] figure 1 It is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing multimedia content based on HTTP real-time streaming according to Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure. In the client side where multimedia content is provided, such as image 3 The shown device executes the method for providing multimedia content based on HTTP real-time streaming in Embodiment 1.

[0033] refer to figure 1 , in step S110, sending a download request of the multimedia content to the server.

[0034] It should be noted that the download request of the multimedia content may include an Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol, IP) address, etc., a Uniform Resource Locator (Uniform Resource Locator, URL) for identifying the multimedia content to be downloaded, and the like.

[0035] In step S120, a list of content segments corresponding to the requested multimedia content is received from the server.

[0036] Here, the server may be a node server of a content distribution network (CDN). In addit

[0043] figure 2 is a flow chart showing a method for providing multimedia content based on HTTP real-time streaming according to Embodiment 2 of the present disclosure, and the embodiment can be regarded as figure 1 Another specific implementation scheme of . available in as Figure 4 The method is executed on the shown device for providing multimedia content based on HTTP real-time stream.

[0044] In step S210, periodically send a point-to-point resource request to the server, and receive the point-to-point resource information returned by the server.

[0045] Here, the point-to-point resource request may include information of local multimedia content, and the information of point-to-point resource may include information of a terminal device having the multimedia content.

[0046] In the first embodiment above, it is illustrated that the client A establishes a P2P connection with the client B, and then downloads each content segment of the multimedia content from the clie

[0066] Based on the same technical idea, image 3 It is a logical block diagram showing an apparatus for providing multimedia content based on HTTP real-time stream according to Embodiment 3 of the present disclosure. It can be used to implement the flow of the method for providing multimedia content based on HTTP real-time stream as described in the first embodiment.

[0067] refer to image 3 , The apparatus for providing multimedia content based on HTTP real-time streaming includes: a request receiving module 310 and a data sending module 320 .

[0068] The request receiving module 310 is configured to receive a download request of multimedia content sent by the terminal device.

[0069] The data sending module 320 is configured to send the data of the multimedia content to the terminal device at a code rate lower than a normal code rate if the server is in an overloaded state.

[0070] The device for providing multimedia content based on the HTTP real-time stream provided
