Detailed Description
The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
Before introducing the method, the apparatus, the system, the storage medium, and the electronic device for monitoring content of a television media provided by the present disclosure, an application scenario of each embodiment of the present disclosure is first introduced.
The embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to content monitoring of television media, and in order to meet monitoring requirements in relevant scenes, multiple set top boxes of a cable television generally need to be equipped, and for different monitoring requirements, the types and the number of the set top boxes may also have corresponding differences. For example, each set-top box may correspond to a media content to be monitored, and each set-top box channel needs to be adjusted to a corresponding program channel to be monitored during specific monitoring. In some scenarios, when the monitoring requirement changes or the set-top box enters a sleep state, the set-top box needs to be adjusted manually to meet the monitoring requirement, but this way also causes the monitoring cost to rise, and meanwhile, the situation that the monitoring data is lost due to manual misoperation also easily occurs.
To this end, the present disclosure provides a content monitoring method for a television media, which is applied to a content monitoring device, the content monitoring device is in communication connection with a set top box, and with reference to a flowchart of the content monitoring method for the television media shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
s11, responding to the received monitoring instruction sent by the monitoring platform, and judging whether the set top box is in a dormant state.
It should be appreciated that the set-top box may indicate that a standby state is to be entered after a certain period of no operation has elapsed (e.g., hours or tens of minutes). Or, the set-top box may prompt to enter the standby state for protection or power saving purposes in a specific time period (for example, 3 am, 4 am, etc.), and at this time, if a corresponding operation is not performed, the set-top box may enter the standby state, so that monitoring cannot be performed.
And S12, if the set top box is in the dormant state, sending a wake-up instruction to the set top box to wake up the set top box.
The content monitoring device may include various signal generators, such as an infrared signal generator, a radio frequency signal generator, and the like, to meet the requirements of various set-top boxes for the type of control signal. For example, the content monitoring device may include a bluetooth module for transmitting a corresponding bluetooth control signal to satisfy the set top box that needs the signal as a bluetooth signal.
Further, for the wake-up instruction, the wake-up instruction may be locally stored by the content monitoring device. For example, the content monitoring device may locally save a control instruction set for each set-top box, and upon receiving the monitoring instruction, retrieve the wake-up instruction by looking up the locally stored instruction set.
And S13, acquiring the video content played by the set top box to obtain video content data.
For example, the content monitoring device may send a signal acquisition request to the set-top box and receive a video signal returned by the set-top box in response to the signal acquisition request.
And S14, monitoring the content of the video content data according to the monitoring identification data to obtain monitoring result data.
The monitoring identification data may be a set of content features to be monitored, such as a channel identification, image information of an advertisement start time point, image information of an advertisement end time point, and the like.
Taking advertisement monitoring as an example, the content acquisition device may sample a video signal sent back by the set top box to obtain image data of the video signal. And matching the image data with image information of an advertisement starting time point and image information of an advertisement ending time point of the advertisement to be monitored through an image recognition algorithm SDK (Software Development Kit) in the content acquisition device, wherein if the matching is successful, the advertisement is indicated to be played.
And S15, sending the monitoring result data to the monitoring platform.
By adopting the technical scheme, the content monitoring device can firstly judge the state of the corresponding set top box when receiving the monitoring instruction, and can activate and awaken the set top box in the dormant state by sending the awakening instruction, so that the problem that the set top box in the dormant state cannot monitor the content is solved, and the long-time continuous monitoring can be realized. Moreover, the workload of related personnel is reduced in such a way, namely, the related personnel do not need to manually wake up the set top box in the dormant state. In addition, for the set top box which is not dormant, the content monitoring device can also obtain the video content played by the set top box to obtain the video content data. And sending monitoring result data obtained by monitoring the content of the video content data according to the monitoring identification data to the monitoring platform. That is to say, through above-mentioned technical scheme, monitoring platform can realize monitoring remotely, automaticly to promote the efficiency of content monitoring, reduce monitoring cost.
In a possible implementation manner, the content monitoring apparatus may further add corresponding time information to the monitoring result data when performing content monitoring on the video content data according to the monitoring identification data and obtaining the monitoring result data. In the above advertisement monitoring, for example, when the image information at the start time of the target advertisement is matched from the video signal, the content monitoring apparatus may record and store the time when the image information at the start time of the target advertisement is matched into the monitoring result data. Therefore, after receiving the monitoring result data, the monitoring platform can also generate a playing time table corresponding to the advertisement according to the monitoring result data, and determine whether the playing state of the advertisement meets the requirement by comparing with an expected playing time table.
In some scenarios, the monitoring requirement of the monitoring platform may also change, and at this time, the content played by the set top box needs to be adjusted according to the monitoring requirement. Therefore, in an embodiment, the monitoring instruction includes a media source, and the step S13 includes:
if the set top box does not play the video of the media source currently, sending a play control instruction to the set top box for controlling the set top box to play the video of the media source;
sending a video stream request to the set top box;
and receiving video stream data returned by the set top box according to the video stream request, wherein the video content data comprises the video stream data.
Similarly, if the content currently played by the set top box is a video of the media source, the content monitoring device may send a video stream request to the set top box, and receive video stream data returned by the set top box according to the video stream request.
By the method, when the monitoring requirement of the monitoring platform changes, the content played by each set top box can be directly adjusted through the content monitoring device, so that the effect of remotely and automatically monitoring the content is realized, and the monitoring cost is saved.
It should be noted that, the content monitoring apparatus may also include multiple signal generators simultaneously, and is in communication connection with multiple set top boxes, in this case, if the set top box does not currently play the video of the media source, the sending a play control instruction to the set top box includes:
judging whether a target set top box corresponding to the media source plays a video of the media source currently or not according to the corresponding relation between the media source and the set top box prestored in the content monitoring device;
and if the target set-top box does not play the video of the media source currently, sending a play control instruction to the target set-top box.
In addition, in an embodiment, the sending a play control instruction to the target set top box includes:
and sending the play control instruction to the target set-top box according to the corresponding relation between the set-top box and the instruction configuration information prestored in the content monitoring device and the instruction configuration information corresponding to the target set-top box.
The instruction configuration information includes a control instruction of the set-top box and a mapping relation between generation rules of the control instruction.
For example, the command configuration information may include a control signal type required by each set-top box, such as an infrared signal, a bluetooth signal, a 2.4g signal, and the like. In an embodiment, the instruction configuration information may further include control instruction information and an encoding manner of a corresponding control instruction, so that the content monitoring apparatus can generate the corresponding control instruction by searching the control instruction information and the encoding manner of the corresponding set top box, and implement control of the corresponding set top box through the control instruction.
It should be noted that, for the command configuration information, in a possible implementation, the command configuration information is obtained by the content monitoring apparatus by learning the control command of the remote controller of each set-top box.
Specifically, referring to a block diagram of a content monitoring device shown in fig. 2, the content monitoring device may include a coding learning module 201, a communication module 202, an MCU 203 (Microcontroller Unit), a signal transmitter 204, and a memory 205. The code learning module 201 may capture a control signal of a remote controller of each set top box through a sensor module, and perform code learning. The code learning module 201 may further send the learned signal codes to the MCU 203, and the MCU 203 stores the signal codes in the memory 205 to obtain the instruction configuration information.
In another possible implementation, the instruction configuration information may also be sent by the monitoring platform to the content monitoring device.
For example, when the system is initialized, the monitoring platform may register each content monitoring device, determine a set top box corresponding to each content monitoring device and a signal form, a signal encoding form, and a signal encoding protocol required by each set top box, and obtain corresponding instruction configuration information. In this way, for a content monitoring device in a monitoring environment that is difficult to operate, the monitoring platform can remotely send the corresponding instructional configuration information to the content monitoring device. Correspondingly, taking fig. 2 as an example, the content monitoring apparatus may receive the instruction configuration information through the communication module 202, send the instruction configuration information to the MCU 203, analyze the instruction configuration information by the MCU 203, and store an analysis result in the memory 205.
Optionally, the monitoring identification data pre-stored by the content monitoring apparatus includes a station caption feature image and an advertisement feature image, and referring to a flowchart of a content monitoring method for television media shown in fig. 3, the method includes:
s31, responding to a received monitoring instruction sent by a monitoring platform, and judging whether the set top box is in a dormant state;
s32, if the set top box is in a dormant state, sending a wake-up instruction to the set top box to wake up the set top box;
s33, acquiring video content played by the set top box to obtain video content data;
s34, judging whether an icon matched with the station caption feature image exists on a video picture corresponding to the video content data;
s35, if the video picture corresponding to the video content data has the icon matched with the station caption characteristic image, determining that the video content acquired by the content monitoring device is the video content played by the appointed monitored television station;
s36, under the condition that the video content acquired by the content monitoring device is determined to be the video content played by the television station appointed to be monitored, determining whether the television station plays the advertisement matched with the advertisement characteristic image or not and the playing time information of the advertisement according to the advertisement characteristic image to obtain the monitoring result data;
and S37, sending the monitoring result data to the monitoring platform.
Still taking fig. 2 as an example, the MCU 203 may sample the video signal of the set-top box to obtain the video content data. The MCU 203 may also invoke an image recognition algorithm SDK in the memory 205 to match the sampled signal with a signature image (which may be stored in the memory 205, the memory 205 being shown for illustration only and may include one or more storage medium/media) to determine whether the video content being played belongs to the video content played by the tv station designated for monitoring.
Similarly, in the case that the video content acquired by the content monitoring device is determined to be the video content played by the television station appointed to be monitored, whether the television station plays the advertisement matched with the advertisement characteristic image or not and the playing time information of the advertisement can be determined according to the advertisement characteristic image by the method, so as to obtain the monitoring result data.
By adopting the technical scheme, the content monitoring device can firstly judge the state of the corresponding set top box when receiving the monitoring instruction, and can activate and awaken the set top box in the dormant state by sending the awakening instruction, so that the problem that the set top box in the dormant state cannot monitor the content is solved, and the long-time continuous monitoring can be realized. Moreover, the workload of related personnel is reduced in such a way, namely, the related personnel do not need to manually wake up the set top box in the dormant state. In addition, for the set top box which is not dormant, the content monitoring device can also obtain the video content played by the set top box to obtain the video content data. And comparing the video content data with pre-stored station caption characteristic images and advertisement characteristic images to obtain monitoring result data, and sending the monitoring result data to the monitoring platform. That is to say, through the technical scheme, the monitoring platform can realize remote and automatic monitoring, and realize the purpose of automatically recording the playing condition of the media content, namely automatically monitoring.
