Abstract

The present invention relates to a high picture quality video streaming service method and system. The high picture quality video streaming service system according to the present invention includes: a content server for generating a first encoding video by encoding an original video with at a constant bit rate, generating a second encoding video by encoding the original video by using 1/N of the length of a first encoding video Group Of Pictures (GOP) and 1/N of a frame rate with constant Quantization Parameters, generating a streaming video by using the first encoding video and the second encoding video, and downloading the first encoding video and transmitting the streaming video in real time; and a user terminal for downloading and playing the first encoding video, or generating and playing a video for playback by recombining frames of the first encoding video and frames of the streaming video.

Claims (17)

1. A user terminal, comprising:

a video download unit for downloading a first encoding video;

a video streaming unit for receiving a streaming video in real time;

a playback video generation unit for generating a video for playback using the first encoding video and the streaming video; and

a video playback unit for playing the first encoding video or playing back the video for playback

wherein the user terminal generating the video for playback by recombining frames of the first encoding video and frames of the streaming video and

wherein the first encoding video is encoded at a constant bit rate, the streaming video having a 1/N of a frame rate of the first encoding video,

wherein the user terminal communicates with a content server which predicts structural similarity values and generates the preliminary streaming video by selecting the frame of the first encoding video or the second encoding video based on both difference between the predicted structural similarity values and threshold.

2. The user terminal of claim 1 , wherein the playback video generation unit compares frames of the first encoding video with frames of the streaming video, selects a frame of the first encoding video if the frame of the first encoding video is included only in the first encoding video, selects a frame of the streaming video if the frame of the streaming video is included in the first encoding video and the streaming video, and generates the video for playback by recombining the selected frames.

3. A high picture quality video streaming service method of a user terminal, comprising:

(a) downloading a first encoding video and receiving a streaming video in real time;

(b) generating a video for playback using the first encoding video and the streaming video; and

(c) playing back the video for playback,

wherein the step (c) comprises generating the video for playback by recombining frames of the first encoding video and frames of the streaming video and

wherein the first encoding video is encoded at a constant bit rate, the streaming video having a 1/N of a frame rate of the first encoding video,

wherein the user terminal communicates with a content server which predicts structural similarity values and generates the preliminary streaming video by selecting the frame of the first encoding video or the second encoding video based on both difference between the predicted structural similarity values and threshold.

4. The high picture quality video streaming service method of claim 3 , wherein the step (b) comprises comparing frames of the first encoding video with frames of the streaming video, selecting a frame of the first encoding video if the frame of the first encoding video is included only in the first encoding video, selecting a frame of the streaming video if the frame of the streaming video is included both in the first encoding video and the streaming video, and generating the video for playback by recombining the selected frames.
