Set top box clouded framework based on NFV and service implementation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a set top box clouded framework based on an NFV, and a service implementation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of set top boxes. The set top box clouded framework based on a network function virtualization (NFV) comprises a virtual set top box and a virtual set top box client, wherein the south end of the virtual set top box is connected with the at leastone virtual set top box client, and the north end of the virtual set top box is connected with an integrated video platform and a content distribution network (CDN) platform, and the virtual set top box is used for acquiring a content source requested by the virtual set top box client, and converting the content source into audio and video data; and the virtual set top box client is arranged in areal set top box, and used for accessing the integrated video platform via the virtual set top box, and receiving and displaying the audio and video data sent back by the virtual set top box. According to the framework and service implementation method thereof provided by the invention, through decoupling a service capability and a hardware capability, the virtualization of the service capabilityof the real set top box is implemented, and the high-quality rendering effect can be acquired without changing the hardware of the real set top box; therefore, the burdensome hardware performance requirements are avoided, and the deployment requirements of innovating services of integrated video are met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of converged video technology, in particular to a NFV-based set-top box cloudification framework and a service implementation method. Background technique [0002] With the development of 5G and optical broadband, the popularity of ultra-high-definition video, and the prosperity of Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR) technologies, big video services have become the basic telecom services after voice and data. Realizing large-scale deployment of big video services on an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) or an Internet TV (Overthe Top) set-top box has become a basic requirement for home video services. The high-end application of the big video service determines that the set-top box must have a powerful graphics processing unit (Graphics Processing Unit, GPU) to provide the ultra-high-performance computing capability required by the big video service. However, due to limitations in size, power consumption, he...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to limitations in size, power consumption, heat dissipation, and cost, the existing set-top boxes have serious shortage of GPU computing power, which cannot meet the real-time rendering and interaction requirements of large videos.

However, the high cost and long deployment cycle of developing and deploying new set-top box hardware devices inhibit the innovation speed of big video technology and business
