Fig. 1 is a schematic flow diagram of a video distribution method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to a situation where a client selects a video distribution policy according to a user distribution tolerance parameter to distribute a video, and the method may be executed by a video distribution apparatus, and the apparatus may be implemented in a form of software and/or hardware, and optionally, implemented by an electronic device, which may be a client and used in cooperation with a server. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

and S110, responding to the video publishing operation, and acquiring a user publishing tolerance parameter.

The user publishing tolerance parameter refers to the maximum publishing time length acceptable by a user in the video publishing process, and if the maximum publishing time length exceeds the maximum publishing time length, the video publishing experience of the user is influenced, the success rate of video publishing is reduced, and the video contribution amount of the user is reduced. Of course, the user publishing tolerance parameter may also include the tolerance of the user to other dimensions of video publishing, such as the tolerance to video definition. The process of selecting the video distribution strategy according to the tolerance of other dimensions can be analogized to the process of selecting the video distribution strategy according to the tolerance of the distribution time length.

In this embodiment, when a user clicks an upload video button on a client, the client responds to a video publishing operation, acquires an identifier of a user group where the user is located, generates a parameter acquisition request, and sends the parameter acquisition request to a server, so that the server queries the maximum tolerable publishing duration of the user. The client performs login management on the user, so that the identifier of the user group where the user is located can be obtained when the user logs in the client, a parameter obtaining request is generated and sent to the server, and the user release tolerance parameter returned by the server is cached locally.

If all the user release tolerance parameters issued by the server are stored in the local storage of the client in advance, after the user group identification is obtained, the user release tolerance parameters corresponding to the user group identification can be inquired from the local cache.

Optionally, the user release tolerance parameter includes: and integrally issuing the tolerant time length information, or issuing the tolerant time length information by the user group. The overall release tolerance time length information is obtained by calculation according to video release records of a large number of users and represents the video release time length which can be tolerated by the users in a large range; the user group publishing tolerance time length information is calculated according to the video publishing records of a small number of users, and represents the video publishing time length which can be tolerated by the users in a relatively small range.

In the embodiment, the server divides the users logging in the client into two types according to whether the videos are published or not, and for the users who do not publish the videos, the publishing tolerance duration of the user group cannot be accurately estimated according to the historical video publishing records, so that the whole publishing tolerance duration of all the users in the client can be used for replacing the publishing tolerance duration. That is to say, the video distribution duration that most users in the client can tolerate is taken as the distribution tolerance duration of the user who initially distributes the video. For users who have issued videos, the users can be grouped according to preset rules such as video issuing behaviors of the users, each user group comprises at least one user, and then the user group issuing tolerance time of each user group is updated by analyzing historical video issuing records of each user group on the basis of the whole issuing tolerance time. Therefore, the server stores the whole release tolerance duration information and the user group release tolerance duration information corresponding to each user group identifier in advance.

When a client requests a server for a user to issue tolerance parameters, if the server inquires corresponding user group issuing tolerance duration information through a user group identifier, the user group issuing tolerance duration information is returned to the client as the user issuing tolerance parameters; and if the server does not inquire the user group release tolerance time length information corresponding to the user group identification, returning the whole release tolerance time length information as a user release tolerance parameter to the client.

S120, selecting a target video publishing strategy according to the user publishing tolerance parameter; the target video publishing strategy corresponds to the specified video quality.

In this embodiment, a plurality of types of video distribution strategies, such as a timeout optimization strategy, a parallel upload strategy, a video quality strategy, and the like, are set in advance in combination with the user distribution tolerance parameter. After the user release tolerance parameter is determined, a video image quality strategy can be selected according to the user release tolerance parameter to process a video to be released, and a timeout optimization strategy or a parallel uploading strategy can be selected according to needs to be matched with the video image quality strategy for use. In other words, the target video distribution strategy at least comprises a video quality strategy. Each video quality policy corresponds to a specified video quality, for example, 720P, 1080P, or the like.

Optionally, the selecting a target video distribution policy according to the user distribution tolerance parameter includes: determining video uploading duration corresponding to each video image quality strategy according to the video characteristics of the target video to be published and the equipment performance parameters; selecting a video image quality strategy with the video uploading duration being less than the user release tolerance parameter, and adding the video image quality strategy into a candidate strategy set; and taking the video quality strategy with the optimal quality in the candidate strategy set as a target video distribution strategy.

In this embodiment, the video characteristics may be information reflecting the size of the video, such as the code rate and the playing duration of the video, and the device performance parameters may be information including the device coding capability. As shown in fig. 2, after the user selects a target video to be published, video characteristics of the target video and performance parameters of a device processing the target video may be acquired. According to the video characteristics and the equipment performance parameters, calculating the video uploading time corresponding to each video image quality strategy, namely, calculating the time required for transcoding the target video into the video image quality corresponding to each video image quality strategy and uploading. Because the user release tolerance parameter is the maximum release duration acceptable by the user, the successful release of the video can be ensured by using the video quality strategy of which the video uploading duration is less than the user release tolerance parameter, and on the basis, in order to improve the video picture quality, the video quality strategy with the optimal quality can be selected as the target video release strategy.

It should be noted that, since recording a high-definition video has a high requirement on the performance of the device itself, if the performance of the device is poor, the transcoding process of the video is very blocked, and the video uploading time is further prolonged, so that the video uploading time corresponding to each video quality policy needs to be calculated by combining the device performance parameters and the video characteristics.

Optionally, the method further includes: if the user release tolerance parameter is larger than a first threshold value, taking an overtime optimization strategy as a target video release strategy; and if the user release tolerance parameter is smaller than a second threshold value, taking the parallel uploading strategy as a target video release strategy.

In this embodiment, in order to further improve the video publishing success rate, other video publishing strategies may be selected according to the user publishing tolerance parameter, and the video publishing strategies and the selected video quality strategies jointly act on the target video. For users with high release tolerance, that is, users with user release tolerance parameters greater than the first threshold, an overtime optimization strategy can be adopted to further improve the video release success rate. Illustratively, if the original release timeout strategy is that the release duration exceeds 300s, the release failure is returned, and if the user group release tolerance duration is 500s and is greater than the first threshold 400s, the release timeout strategy may be adjusted to be that the release duration exceeds 500s, the release failure is returned. For the users with low release tolerance, namely the users with the user release tolerance parameters smaller than the second threshold, a parallel uploading strategy can be adopted, the network speed and the user group release tolerance duration information are combined, the target videos are released in parallel, the video uploading speed is shortened, the video release duration is reduced, and the video quality is improved.

S130, executing a video publishing process on the target video corresponding to the video publishing operation according to the target video publishing strategy.

In this embodiment, according to the selected video quality policy, corresponding transcoding processing may be performed on the target video to be released, so that the quality of the target video is consistent with the video quality of the selected video quality policy. If a timeout optimization policy is selected, the publication timeout policy may be adjusted according to the timeout time specified in the policy. And if the parallel uploading strategy is selected, the transcoded target video is uploaded in parallel according to a parallel processing mode specified in the strategy.

Optionally, after the video publishing process is executed on the target video corresponding to the video publishing operation according to the target video publishing policy, the method further includes: and storing the video release record of the target video, and updating the overall release tolerance duration information and the user group release tolerance duration information at regular time according to the stored video release record.

In this embodiment, since the user group release tolerance duration may change with changes in time, environment, and other factors, the entire release tolerance duration information and the user group release tolerance duration information need to be updated periodically to maintain the accuracy of the user release tolerance parameter. Based on this, if the client has the capability of calculating the user release tolerance parameter, after the client executes the video release process on the target video, the client stores the video release record of the target video in the local database, and when the release tolerance time update cycle arrives, for example, a month passes since the last time the user release tolerance parameter is calculated, the client acquires the video release record in the specified time period from the local database, and recalculates the whole release tolerance time information and the user group release tolerance time information.

Or if the client cannot calculate the user release tolerance parameter, the client sends the video release record of the target video to the database of the server for storage after executing the video release process on the target video, so that the server obtains the video release record in the specified time period from the database when the release tolerance time update cycle is reached, and recalculates the whole release tolerance time information and the user group release tolerance time information.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the disclosure, the user release tolerance parameter is obtained by responding to the video release operation; selecting a target video publishing strategy according to the user publishing tolerance parameter; the target video publishing strategy corresponds to the specified video quality; according to the target video publishing strategy, a video publishing process is executed on the target video corresponding to the video publishing operation, the problem of low video publishing success rate caused by long video uploading time is solved, the video quality and uploading time of the video to be published are balanced according to the user publishing tolerance parameter, and the video publishing success rate is improved.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of another video publishing method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, where the embodiment of the present disclosure is suitable for a situation where a server returns a user publishing tolerance parameter to a client to select a video publishing policy for video publishing, and the method may be executed by a video publishing apparatus, and the apparatus may be implemented in a form of software and/or hardware, and optionally implemented by an electronic device, and the electronic device may be a server and is used in cooperation with the client. As shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

s310, receiving a parameter acquisition request sent by a client in response to a video publishing operation, and inquiring a user publishing tolerance parameter corresponding to the parameter acquisition request.

The parameter obtaining request is generated by the client according to the identification of the user group where the user is located after the user clicks an upload video button on the client or logs in the client, and is used for obtaining the tolerance parameter issued by the user of the user group to the server. The user release tolerance parameter refers to the maximum video release duration acceptable by a user, and when the maximum video release duration exceeds the maximum video release duration, the release enthusiasm of the user is consumed, so that the user may interrupt video release or quit the client, and the video release is failed.

Optionally, the receiving client, in response to a parameter obtaining request sent by a video publishing operation, queries a user publishing tolerance parameter corresponding to the parameter obtaining request, and includes: determining a user group identifier according to the parameter acquisition request; inquiring a release tolerance time list, and acquiring user group release tolerance time information matched with the user group identification as a user release tolerance parameter; and if the user group release tolerance time length information matched with the user group identification does not exist in the release tolerance time length list, taking the whole release tolerance time length information as a user release tolerance parameter.

In this embodiment, the server calculates in advance the entire distribution tolerance duration information corresponding to all users who have distributed the video at the client and the user group distribution tolerance duration information of each user group, and establishes a distribution tolerance duration list according to each user group identifier and the corresponding user group distribution tolerance duration information. After receiving a parameter acquisition request sent by a client, analyzing the parameter acquisition request according to a specified format to acquire a user group identifier. And then, inquiring a release tolerance time length list by using the user group identification, and judging whether the release tolerance time length list has user group release tolerance time length information matched with the user group identification.

If the user group publishing tolerance time length exists, the user group publishing tolerance time length information is calculated according to the recent video publishing record of the user group, and can be used as a user publishing tolerance parameter to represent the tolerance of the user to the video publishing time length. If the user group release tolerance duration information corresponding to the user group identification does not exist in the release tolerance duration list, it indicates that the user has not released the video at the client, and at this time, the video release duration which most users in the client can tolerate is used as the maximum release duration which can be accepted by the user for primarily releasing the video, that is, the whole release tolerance duration information recently calculated by the client is used as the user release tolerance parameter.

And S320, returning the user release tolerance parameter to the client so that the client selects a target video release strategy according to the user release tolerance parameter and executes a video release process on a target video to be released.

In this embodiment, after the server determines the user release tolerance parameter of the user, the server returns the information to the client that sends the parameter acquisition request, so that the client determines the maximum video release duration that the user can tolerate according to the information, and selects a video quality policy with the optimal video quality as the target video release policy from a plurality of video quality policies in which the video release duration is less than the user release tolerance parameter. The target video distribution strategy corresponds to the specified video quality. Or, the overtime optimization strategy or the parallel uploading strategy can be selected according to the tolerance parameter issued by the user and used together with the video image quality strategy.

S330, receiving and storing a target video release record sent by the client, and updating the user release tolerance parameter at regular time according to the video release record.

In the embodiment, after the client executes the video publishing process on the target video, the video publishing record of the target video is sent to the server, the server stores the video publishing record into the database, when the updating period of the user publishing tolerance parameter is reached, the video publishing record in the specified time period is obtained from the database, and the whole publishing tolerance duration information and the user group publishing tolerance duration information of each user group are recalculated to keep the accuracy of the user publishing tolerance parameter.

Optionally, updating the user release tolerance parameter at regular time according to the video release record, including: responding to the parameter timing updating request, acquiring all video publishing records in a first preset time period, and calculating publishing duration information of each successfully published video; calculating the release success rate corresponding to the release time length information of each successfully released video, and adding the release time length information with the release success rate larger than a specified threshold value into a first set; and taking the maximum value of the release duration information in the first set as the whole release tolerance duration information.

In this embodiment, when the user release tolerance parameter update time is reached, all video release records in the latest month can be obtained from the database for the whole release tolerance duration information, and the records are divided into successfully released videos and unsuccessfully released videos. And calculating the time difference between the moment when the video is successfully published and the moment when the user clicks the publishing button as publishing duration information of each successfully published video. And calculating the time difference between the video unsuccessfully published buried point and the time when the user clicks the publishing button as publishing duration information of each unsuccessfully published video. The embedded point where the video is not successfully published can be the time when the client exits or the time when the background is switched from the client. And for the distribution time length t of each successfully distributed video, counting the total number m1 of the successfully distributed videos with the distribution time length equal to t and the total number m2 of the successfully distributed videos and the unsuccessfully distributed videos with the distribution time length equal to t, and taking the ratio of m1 to m2 as the distribution success rate corresponding to the distribution time length t. And adding the publishing duration information corresponding to the publishing success rate which is greater than the specified threshold value p into the first set, and selecting the maximum value of the publishing duration from the first set as the whole publishing tolerance duration information.

The first preset time period may be one month, or 2 months, or other time periods. The specified threshold may be a large value, such as 80%, to ensure that all publication durations in the first set are approximately sufficient to meet the publication tolerances of all users. When the overall release tolerance duration information is selected, the maximum value of the release duration in the first set is not limited to be selected, and the minimum value of the release duration or other release durations can be selected according to needs.

Optionally, updating the user release tolerance parameter at regular time according to the video release record, including: responding to the parameter timing updating request, respectively acquiring all video release records of each user group in a second preset time period, and forming a second set corresponding to each user group; for each second set, calculating the waiting time length information of each unsuccessfully issued video and the issuing time length information of each successfully issued video; for each second set, taking the minimum value of the waiting time length information as a lower limit of the tolerance time length, and forming a third set by the release time length information smaller than the lower limit of the tolerance time length; and taking the maximum value of the release duration information in each third set as the user group release tolerance duration information of each user group.

In this embodiment, when the user distribution tolerance parameter update time is reached, in order to update the user group distribution tolerance duration information, all video distribution records in the last month may be acquired from the database for each user group, so as to form a second set. For each second set, according to the formula: the video publishing time length is equal to the time when the video is successfully published, and the time when the user clicks the publishing button; the waiting time of the unsuccessfully issued videos is the time of quitting the client (or the time of switching the background from the client), and the time of clicking the issuing button by the user, and the waiting time information of each unsuccessfully issued video and the issuing time information of each successfully issued video are calculated. Because the waiting time of the video which is failed to be published may be the publishing time which cannot be tolerated by the user, the minimum value of the waiting time of the video which is not successfully published can be used as the lower limit of the user tolerance time, namely T _{Lower limit of tolerated duration} Min { the waiting duration for unsuccessful release of video }. Therefore, all the publication duration information smaller than the lower limit of the user tolerance duration is the publication duration which can be tolerated by the user, and the maximum value of the publication duration in the publication duration information can be selected as the publication tolerance duration information of the user group, namely T _{User group publication tolerance duration} Max { t | t ∈ release duration for which video has been successfully released, and t<T _{Lower limit of tolerated duration} }。

If the database has no video publishing record of the user group in the last month or only a few video publishing records which are failed to publish in the last month, the video publishing records before the user group can be continuously obtained, and the publishing tolerance duration information of the user group is calculated. Or, it is not necessary to calculate the user group publishing tolerance time length information of the user group, and the whole publishing tolerance time length information is subsequently used as the user group publishing tolerance time length information. The second preset time period may be the same as or different from the first preset time period.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, a parameter acquisition request sent by a client in response to a video publishing operation is received, a user publishing tolerance parameter corresponding to the parameter acquisition request is inquired and returned to the client, so that the client selects a target video publishing strategy for specifying video quality according to the user publishing tolerance parameter and executes a video publishing process on a target video to be published; the method comprises the steps of receiving and storing target video release records sent by a client, updating user release tolerance parameters at regular time according to the video release records, solving the problem of low video release success rate caused by long video uploading time, helping the client to balance the video quality and uploading time of the video to be released by accurately calculating the user release tolerance parameters, and improving the video release success rate.
