METHOD, SERVER AND USER TERMINAL FOR PROVIDING AND ACQUIRING MEDIA CONTENT

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, a server, and a user terminal for providing and acquiring media content. The providing method includes: receiving a file segment acquiring request sent by a user terminal, where the file segment acquiring request is generated and sent by the user terminal according to an identifier of the user terminal and a media segment description file that is acquired in advance, and the media segment description file includes a storage address and an embedded identifier of each media file segment that is divided from media content; and providing the user terminal with a media file segment that corresponds to the file segment acquiring request and is embedded with the identifier of the user terminal. In the technical solution of the present invention, a server no longer processes media content in real time and responds to an acquiring request of a user terminal, thereby reducing concurrent load of the server and reducing concurrent bandwidth occupied by media content distribution.
