Most of the existing video clients have a video caching function, namely, the clients can automatically cache videos watched by users, so that the fluency of the users watching the videos is improved, and the user experience is improved. However, the video caching function does not support video downloading.
For this reason, the video-type client terminal provides an offline viewing function, that is, the client terminal can download and store the video from the server locally for the user to view while offline. However, the downloading of the video supported by the offline viewing function depends on manual downloading by the user and only the currently updated video can be downloaded, and if the video is updated in the early morning, the downloading may not be performed in time, or the user downloads the updated video in the peak time of the network, which may affect the downloading speed.
Therefore, the existing media resource downloading method has the problem of low downloading efficiency.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on this, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a media resource downloading method, which is used to solve the problem of low media resource downloading efficiency in the prior art.
In addition, another object of the present disclosure is to provide a media resource downloading device, which is used to solve the problem of low downloading efficiency of media resources in the prior art.
In order to solve the technical problem, the technical scheme adopted by the disclosure is as follows:
a method of media asset download, comprising: checking whether an album in the configuration file is configured with a reserved downloading identifier or not; requesting corresponding album information from a server according to the album configured with the reserved downloading identifier; creating a downloading task according to the updating progress in the album information; and automatically downloading the updated media resources in the album through the downloading task.
A media asset download device, comprising: an identifier checking unit, configured to check whether an album in the configuration file is configured with a download reservation identifier; the information request unit is used for requesting corresponding album information from the server according to the album configured with the reserved downloading identification; the task creating unit is used for creating a downloading task according to the updating progress in the album information; and the resource downloading unit is used for automatically downloading the updated media resources in the album through the downloading task.
Compared with the prior art, the method has the following beneficial effects:
checking the reserved downloading identification of the album in the configuration file through the operating client, requesting the album information of the album to the server when the album is configured with the reserved downloading identification, and creating a downloading task according to the updating progress in the album information so as to automatically download the updated media resource in the album through the downloading task. That is to say, as long as the album in the configuration file is configured with the download reservation identifier, the running client will acquire the update progress of the album to automatically download the updated media resource in the album, which not only overcomes the defect that only the current updated video can be downloaded in the prior art, but also does not need to rely on the manual download of the user, thereby effectively improving the download efficiency of the media resource.

Furthermore, the present disclosure can be implemented equally as hardware circuitry or hardware circuitry in combination with software instructions, and thus implementation of the present disclosure is not limited to any specific hardware circuitry, software, or combination of both.
Referring to fig. 4, in an exemplary embodiment, a media resource downloading method is applied to the terminal 100 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1, and the media resource downloading method may be executed by a video-class client running in the terminal 100, and may include the following steps:
in step 310, it is checked whether the album in the configuration file is configured with the reserved download identifier.
The video client may be used for the user to request an interested video for online viewing, or for the user to download a favorite video for offline viewing, and accordingly, the configuration file in the video client is used to record configuration information related to the user operation, for example, the configuration information may include a viewing progress of the video requested by the user, a downloading progress of the video downloaded by the user, and the like.
In this embodiment, a video is defined as an album in a configuration file. It should be understood that an album may be a television series containing multiple media assets, or may be a movie having only a single media asset. If the album is a single-album movie, the client need only perform a download once to provide the user with offline viewing functionality. When the album is a multi-album tv series, the client may need to perform multiple downloads in consideration of the update progress of the tv series.
Thus, the so-called scheduled download refers to automatic download of an updated media asset from an album, and in short, when an episode of a television series is updated, the updated episode is automatically downloaded.
In order to provide the reserved downloading function of the album for the user, a reserved downloading inlet is arranged in the client, and the reserved downloading identifier of the album is configured in the configuration file according to the starting operation through the starting operation triggered in the reserved downloading inlet by the user, so that the starting of the reserved downloading function of the album is marked.
Whether the user selects to perform the reserved downloading aiming at the album can be known by checking whether the album in the configuration file is configured with the reserved downloading identification, so that the automatic downloading of the updated media resource in the album is facilitated. The check can be performed by setting a timer in the client for timing check, or can be selected to be performed only in the off-network peak period (for example, 12 am). It should be noted that the albums in the configuration file are represented in the form of identifiers, for example, an album with a certain name is represented by the identifier a.
In step 330, the corresponding album information is requested from the server according to the album configured with the reserved download identifier.
The server provides a query interface to enable the client to acquire album information of the album configured with the reserved download identification through the query interface after the album configured with the reserved download identification is checked in the configuration file.
Specifically, a media asset library is provided in the server, and album information of each album is stored in the media asset library for the client to query. The album information may include an album name, a number of album sets, an update progress of the album, a finalization state of the album, and the like.
The client initiates a query request to the server according to the album configured with the reserved downloading identification, so that the server searches the album information corresponding to the album in the media resource library according to the album initiating the query request, and then returns the album information of the searched album to the client through the server.
And step 350, creating a downloading task according to the updating progress in the album information.
As described above, the album information may include an update progress of the album, where the update progress may be that the media resource in the album is updated to several sets, or that the media resource in the album is updated to the several sets.
After the server obtains the update progress of the album, the client knows the update condition of the media resources in the album, and further can create a downloading task according to the update progress of the album. For example, if the media asset in the album has been updated, a download task is created for the updated media asset. Otherwise, if the media resources in the album are not updated, no download task is created.
In step 370, an automatic download of the updated media assets from the album is performed via a download task.
Specifically, through the created download task, the client initiates a download request of the updated media resource to the server, and the server responds to the download request to establish a download link between the client and the server, so as to transmit the updated media resource to the client through the download link.
After the automatic downloading is finished, the client receives and stores the updated media resources locally for the user to watch offline.
Through the process, the automatic downloading of the updated media resources is realized, namely, the client can actively inquire the album information to obtain the updating progress of the album, and actively initiate a downloading request for updating the media resources to the server according to the updating progress, so that the automatic downloading can occur at any time period without depending on the manual downloading of the user.
On the other hand, the media resource updating time period is usually non-network peak time periods such as morning, the updated media resource can be automatically downloaded as long as the client is in the running state, and the updated media resource is to be watched offline when the user is idle, so that the downloading and the watching of the user are not influenced by the network environment, the media resource downloading efficiency is effectively improved, the watching and downloading fluency is improved, and the user experience is improved.
Referring to fig. 5, in an exemplary embodiment, before step 310, the method as described above may further include the steps of:
and step 410, monitoring to obtain a reserved downloading starting instruction triggered and generated by a reserved downloading inlet in an album adding and downloading interface.
As described above, the client is provided with a download reservation entry to provide the user with a download reservation function, the download reservation entry may be provided in the album download addition interface to provide the user with a download reservation function for each album, and may also be provided in the client main interface to provide the user with a uniform download reservation function, that is, the client will automatically download updated media resources from all albums as long as the user selects the download reservation function.
In this embodiment, the download reservation entry is set in the add-download interface of the album. Through the setting, the user can only select the interested album to perform the reserved downloading, so that the operation flexibility of the reserved downloading function is improved, the user experience is improved, and the local storage space of the client cannot be excessively occupied.
Further, the reserved download entrance may be a reserved download option set in the add-download interface, or may be a reserved download button set in the add-download interface. And the client side is intercepted to obtain a reserved download opening instruction through the opening operation triggered by the user in the reserved download entrance.
Taking the reserved downloading inlet as a reserved downloading option for explanation, if a user wants to start the reserved downloading function, the user performs a checking operation on the reserved downloading option, and the client can monitor through the checking operation to obtain a corresponding checking instruction, which is a reserved downloading starting instruction.
After the client monitors and obtains the reserved downloading starting instruction, the reserved downloading identifier can be configured for the album in the configuration file through the reserved downloading starting instruction, so that the follow-up check of the reserved downloading identifier for the album is facilitated.
And 430, configuring a reserved downloading identifier for the album in the configuration file through the reserved downloading starting instruction.
Referring to fig. 6, in an exemplary embodiment, before step 410, the method as described above may further include the following steps:
It should be appreciated that the client will only add a display of the download interface for the album if the user has a download need for the media assets in the album. Further, since the reserved download refers to automatic download of updated media resources in the album, if the media resources to be downloaded by the user are completely updated, that is, the album is finished, the client does not need to display the reserved download entry in the add-download interface of the album.
Therefore, before the adding and downloading interface of the album is displayed, the ending condition of the album needs to be known.
Specifically, when the client plays the media resource of the album, if the user wants to download the media resource of the album, the click operation is triggered on a download entrance in the media play interface, the client monitors to obtain a user addition download instruction through the click operation, and then a query request of the album information is initiated to the server according to the user addition download instruction so as to obtain the ending condition of the album for the display of a subsequent addition download interface.
In step 530, album information returned by the server in response to the query request is received.
After receiving the query request, the server searches the album information in the media resource library, and returns the searched album information to the client, so that the client knows the ending condition of the album according to the received album information.
In step 550, when the ending status in the album information indicates that the album is not ended, the add-download interface is displayed, and the reserved download entry is displayed in the displayed add-download interface.
As described above, the album information may include the album finalization status, which indicates the finalization of the album. For example, the ending status may be specifically indicated by information carried in a field, if the information carried in the field is 1, the album is ended, and if the information carried in the field is 0, the album is not ended.
After the ending state in the album information is acquired, the client displays a corresponding adding and downloading interface according to the indication of the ending state.
And if the ending state of the album information indicates that the album is not ended, displaying an adding and downloading interface comprising a reserved downloading inlet so as to provide the user with an automatic downloading function of updating the media resources in the album through the reserved downloading inlet.
On the contrary, if the ending state of the album information indicates that the album is ended, an adding and downloading interface which does not contain the reserved downloading entry is displayed. It should be appreciated that, since the album is finished, the list of albums shown in the generated add-download interface contains the complete episode, i.e., lists all media assets available for download, so as to provide the user with the function of manually downloading the media assets.
Through the process, the client only displays the reserved downloading entry in the adding and downloading interface when the album is not finished, so that unnecessary interference on a user without potential reserved downloading requirements is avoided, and the user experience is improved.
Referring to FIG. 7, in an exemplary embodiment, step 350 may include the steps of:
As mentioned above, the update schedule may be that the media resource in the album is updated to several sets, or that the media resource in the album is updated to several sets.
Taking the update set number of the update progress indication media resource as an example for explanation, the update progress may be specifically represented by information carried in a field, if the information carried in the field is 0, it indicates that the media resource is not updated, and if the information carried in the field is 2, it indicates that the media resource is updated and 2 sets are updated.
Therefore, after the server acquires the updating progress, whether the media resources in the album are updated or not can be judged according to the indication of the updating progress.
Further, referring to fig. 8, in an exemplary embodiment, step 351 may include the following steps:
at step 3511, a check is made to see if the update progress exceeds the historical progress of the album.
In this embodiment, the update progress indicates that the media resource is updated to the set number. The updating progress is specifically represented by information carried in the field, and if the information carried in the field is 10, the updating progress indicates that the media resource is updated to the 10 th set.
The historical progress of the album is stored in a configuration file and is used for reflecting the current updating condition of the media resources. Specifically, each time the client acquires the album information, the update progress in the album information is used to acquire the update condition of the current media resource, and the historical progress of the album is acquired by storing the update progress in the configuration file.
By comparing the updating progress with the historical progress of the album, the latest updating condition of the media resource can be obtained. If the update progress is matched with the historical progress of the album, step 3513 is performed to determine that the media resources in the album are not updated, otherwise, if the update progress exceeds the historical progress of the album, step 3515 is performed to determine that the media resources in the album are updated.
At step 3513, it is determined that the media assets in the album have not been updated.
When it is determined that the media assets in the album are updated, i.e., the update progress exceeds the historical progress of the album, for example, the update progress is the media assets updated to the 10 th set, and the historical progress of the album is the media assets updated to the 6 th set.
At this time, the historical progress of the album cannot accurately reflect the current updating situation of the media resource, so the historical progress of the album is updated, that is, the updating progress is stored as the historical progress of the album.
Referring to fig. 9, in an exemplary embodiment, the method as described above may further include the steps of:
As mentioned above, since the reserved download refers to the automatic download of the updated media resource from the album, if the media resource to be downloaded by the user is completely updated, that is, the album is finished, the client does not need to configure the reserved download identifier for the album in the configuration file.
Therefore, after the automatic downloading of the updated media resources is completed each time, the finishing condition of the album is inquired first.
Specifically, after receiving a query request sent by a client, the server searches corresponding album information in the media resource library according to the query request, and returns the searched album information to the client, so that the client knows the completion condition of the album.
In step 630, the reserved download id of the album is deleted in the configuration file according to the ending status in the album information.
As described above, the ending status can be specifically represented by the information carried in the field, if the information carried in the field is 1, the album is ended, and if the information carried in the field is 0, the album is not ended.
After the ending state in the album information is acquired, the client side judges whether the reserved downloading identification needs to be configured for the album according to the indication of the ending state.
And if the ending state in the album information indicates that the album is not ended, keeping the reserved downloading identification of the album in the configuration file.
And if the ending state in the album information indicates that the album is not ended, deleting the reserved downloading identification of the album in the configuration file.
Through the process, the client automatically closes the reserved downloading function, the client is prevented from requesting the server for the album information according to the album configured with the reserved downloading identification after the album is finished, and the downloading task is created according to the album information, so that the client and the server can avoid processing unnecessary tasks, and the processing efficiency of the client and the server is improved.
Of course, in other application scenarios, the client is also provided with a function of manually closing the reserved download for the user. For example, when the user wants to close the reserved downloading function, the user can directly trigger the closing operation in the reserved downloading entry shown in the adding downloading interface, and can cancel the reserved downloading function in the album downloading interface, so that the client deletes the reserved downloading identifier of the album in the configuration file.
Taking a video client running in the terminal 100 shown in fig. 2 as an example, a media resource downloading method will be described with reference to a specific application scenario. For example, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a specific implementation of a method for downloading a media resource in an application scenario.
As shown in fig. 10, after the client executes step 713, it will check whether the album is configured with the reserved download id in the configuration file in two cases, i.e. step 707 and step 714.
Wherein, the client configures the reserved downloading identifier for the album in the configuration file by executing steps 701 to 705. Only when the album is not finished, the add-download interface including the download reservation option is displayed, so that the download reservation function for updating the media resource in the album is started by the user checking the download reservation option, step 705. Otherwise, if the album is finished, the add download interface not including the download reservation option is displayed, step 703. Of course, if the user does not check the reserved download option or does not confirm the check of the reserved download option, the reserved download function for updating the media resource in the album cannot be started, i.e., step 704.
Further, by executing step 706, the client will record the historical progress of the album, so as to be able to subsequently know the current update condition of the album.
If the album is configured with the reserved downloading identifier, the client can complete the automatic downloading of the updated media resource in the album by executing steps 708 to 709. Otherwise, if it is checked that the album does not configure the reserved download identifier, step 715 is executed to end the reserved download.
In addition, the closing of the reserved download function may be manually closed by the user by performing step 712, or may be automatically closed by the client by performing steps 710 to 711.
Through the process described above, the client allows the user to turn on the reserved download function for a tv series being broadcast. As long as the client runs, the episode of the television series update can be automatically downloaded and stored in the local through the client so as to be watched by the user at leisure, and the method is not limited by the network environment of the user.
