Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and a system for personalized presentation of a multimedia content assembly, including: presenting, on a server, by using a presentation mode in which one or more presentation layers superimpose, a media content component, and sending signaling information for describing a presentation layer layout to a client; presenting, on the client, a multimedia content assembly in a personalized manner according to the signaling information of the presentation layer. In the present disclosure, a content provider can instruct a user to perform combination presentation on multi-channel content at a client device vendor, and adjust a layout by a reduced update instruction. In addition, the present disclosure provides a media service applicable to a case in which terminal devices are different and user needs are different.

First claim

1 . A method for personalized presentation of a multimedia content assembly, comprising:
providing, on a server, a media content component by using a presentation mode in which one or more presentation layers superimpose; sending signaling information for describing a presentation layer layout from the server to a client device; and presenting, on the client device, a multimedia content assembly in a personalized manner according to the signaling information of the presentation layers.

2 . The method for personalized presentation of the multimedia content assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:
describing the signaling information about the presentation layer layout, wherein the signaling information comprises one or more of a sequence number, a playback device number, a central location and a length and width of a display area, a layer display order, and a fitting type of media content relative to the display area, of each layer, whether the layer can be adjusted, and transparency of the layer.

3 . The method for personalized presentation of the multimedia content assembly according to claim 1 , wherein when the layout needs to be updated, the server is configured to transmit signaling information for updating the presentation layout to the client device.

4 . The method for personalized presentation of the multimedia content assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the signaling information for updating the presentation layout comprises one or more of: deleting a layer, adding a new layer, changing a display order of a layer, changing a display variable of a layer, and informing the client how to change current presentation.

5 . The method for personalized presentation of the multimedia content assembly according to claim 3 , wherein when the layout needs to be updated, the server is configured to instructs the client device to change a current layout by sending change signaling information for describing a presentation layer layout.

6 . The method for personalized presentation of the multimedia content assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:
informing, by the server, the client device of signaling information of a presentation layer that corresponds to consumption and that is of the media content component, and implementing, by the client device, correct presentation after parsing the signaling information.

7 . The method for personalized presentation of the multimedia content assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a descriptor for describing a presentation layer corresponding to media content is located on the server, and the descriptor is configured to describe information comprising a number of a layer of presentation corresponding to the media content, a number of a layer in which presentation to be exchanged, and a number of a layer in which presentation to be copied, and the client device freely replaces or copies a presentation layer by using information about a location at which a media content is replaced and that is informed by the server, or information about a location at which a media content component to be copied and that is informed by the server, and when a tag for indicating whether a layer can be adjusted indicates that the layer can be adjusted, adjusts a display location size, a display order, a fitting manner, or transparency of the layer in a personalized manner, while presentation of other users are not affected.

8 . The server configured to implement the method according to claim 1 , the server comprising:
a signaling configuration interface and generation module, configured to obtain layout information about the presentation layer layout, or layout update information and information corresponding to a content component, and make the obtained information into signaling information; a signaling version management module, configured to manage version numbers of the signaling information, so as to send correct signaling information to a client device; and a signaling sending module, configured to pack the signaling information into a data packet in accordance with a transmission protocol, and send the data packet to a specified client device.

9 . The client device configured to implement the method according to claim 1 , comprising:
a signaling receiving and parsing module, configured to receive a data packet that comprises the signaling information and that is sent by the server, parse the data packet into the signaling information, and check a version number, so as to transfer correct signaling information to a rendering module; and the rendering module, configured to: according to the signaling information transferred by the signaling receiving and parsing module, present each presentation layer based on the layout, and correspondingly display a corresponding media content component and the presentation layer.

10 . The client device according to claim 9 , further comprising a user operation interface module, wherein
the user operation interface module is configured to: according to variable flags that are of the presentation layers and that are in the signaling information, inform a user of types and a range of the presentation layers that are variable, and transfer obtained personalized adjustment command of the user on the presentation layer to the rendering module for related adjustment; and the rendering module is configured to change the presentation layout at any time according to an adjustment command of the user operation interface module.

11 . A system for presenting personalized presentation of a multimedia content assembly, the system comprising, comprising:
a signaling configuration interface and generation module, configured to obtain layout information about the presentation layer layout, or layout update information and information corresponding to a content component, and include the obtained information into signaling information; a signaling version management module, configured to manage version numbers of the signaling information, so as to send correct signaling information to a client device; and a signaling sending module, configured to pack the signaling information into a data packet in accordance with a transmission protocol, and send the data packet to a specified client device a signaling receiving and parsing module, configured to receive a data packet that comprises the signaling information and that is sent by the server, parse the data packet into the signaling information, and check a version number, so as to transfer correct signaling information to a rendering module; and the rendering module, configured to: according to the signaling information transferred by the signaling receiving and parsing module, correctly present each presentation layer based on the layout, and correspondingly display a corresponding media content component and the presentation layer, wherein the server, configured to provide, the media content component by using the presentation mode in which the one or more presentation layers superimpose, and sends the signaling information for describing the presentation layer layout to the client; and the client device, configured to present the multimedia content assembly in a personalized manner according to the signaling information that is of the presentation layers and that is sent by the server side.

12 . A system configured to implement the method according to claim 1 , comprising:
a signaling configuration interface and generation module, configured to obtain layout information about the presentation layer layout, or layout update information and information corresponding to a content component, and make the obtained information into signaling inform
