Method, device, and system for controlling IPTV (internet protocol television) content reporting configuring updates

摘要

The present invention relates to the multimedia field, and discloses a method, a device, and a system for controlling content report behavior. The method includes: receiving a request for subscribing to a configuration update notification, in which the request is sent by the terminal or the media control function, and a configuration update request that is sent by an SCF and carries the new content report configuration information, and sending a configuration update notification message to the terminal or the media control function, where the configuration update notification message carries the new content report configuration information or acquiring information thereof. The method of the present invention avoids using the message body of the SIP message to transmit the content report configuration information, is compliant and compatible with logic for processing a SIP INFO message specified in the RFC 2976.

主权项

1. A method for controlling content report behavior, comprising performing by a Service Control Function (SCF) device having at least a processor executing program codes stored in a memory of the SFC device, which configure the SFC device to perform the following operations:
collecting current content reporting from a terminal or a media control function (MCF) device, wherein the current content reporting comprises user's current content consumption statistics and accounting information on an existing channel or program; wherein the current content reporting is in response to detecting a request to switch to user's new content consumption from the existing channel or program to another channel or another program in the terminal or the MCF device; generating a session initiation protocol SIP message to update new content report configuration information, wherein a preset parameter in a header field of the SIP message carries the new content report configuration information; and sending the SIP message to the terminal or the media control function (MCF) device in order that the terminal or the MCF device implements updated content reporting for the SCF device according to the new content report configuration information.
