Method and device for reserving storage space

Abstract

The invention discloses a storage space reserving method and device. The storage space reserving method includes the steps that service contents downloaded in advance are determined according to weights of the service contents, a storage space is reserved for the service contents downloaded in advance, and the service contents are downloaded into the reserved storage space in advance according to the priorities of the weights of the service contents from high to low. According to the storage space reserving method and device, the service contents are downloaded into the reserved storage space in advance according to the weights of the service contents and the priorities, therefore, waiting time of content service switching is shortened, promotion of the preprocessing capacity of a terminal is enhanced, the friendliness of user interaction is further enhanced, the low delay requirement is met, and the use requirements of users are met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of storage, in particular to a method and device for reserving storage space. Background technique [0002] As information technology applications become more and more extensive, various network services, including Internet services and communication services, are increasingly connected with people's lives, such as video-on-demand services, interactive game services, web browsing, video communication services or instant messaging. Business, etc. will also enter the ordinary family. In the process of implementing these services, it is usually necessary to interact with users, and users can choose different contents in these services.

The process of the existing interactive on-demand service is that the user browses the current program, switches the channel, and the set-top box and the server perform a new custom connection, and at the same time buffer the flow of the switched program. In the prior art, the on-demand connection needs to be re-connected during the switching process. After the download service is successful, it will cause the user to wait for a long time before the on-demand service content can be presented to the user, and the waiting time for different service on-demand is different. For those on-demand services that require high delay, it should be reduced latency

[0003] Therefore, in the prior art, after the user selects the content and then connects to the network to download the content, the user needs to wait for a long time to see the downloaded business content, resulting in an increase in dissatisfaction during use.
