wherein the play plan comprises playback window information and play order information of each multimedia file in the display terminal; and

generating the data to be displayed according to the play plan, the multimedia file corresponding to the play plan, and the first verification image that are received comprises:

generating the data to be displayed according to display region information and display order information of each multimedia file in the display terminal, the multimedia file corresponding to the play plan, and the first verification image, so as to allow the display terminal to perform display according to the playback window information and the play order information of each multimedia file in the display terminal in response to the data to be displayed.

2 . The multimedia broadcast monitoring method of claim 1 , wherein generating the first verification image of the play plan by the image generation algorithm according to the pre-generated first identification image and the configuration information of the display terminal comprises:

generating the first identification image according to the first identity authentication information;

processing the first identification image according to the number of pixels corresponding to a specific area of a pre-generated transparent image to obtain a first target identification image;

encoding display information of all pixels of the first target identification image to obtain first encoded data; and

replacing display data of corresponding pixels in the specific area of the transparent image with the first encoded data to generate the first verification image.

3 . The multimedia broadcast monitoring method of claim 2 , after generating the first identification image according to the first identity authentication information, further comprising:

generating the transparent image according to resolution information of the display terminal; wherein resolution of the transparent image is the same as resolution of the display terminal.

4 . The multimedia broadcast monitoring method of claim 2 , wherein the transparent image has a central area and an edge area surrounding the central area; and the specific area is the edge area.

5 . The multimedia broadcast monitoring method of claim 2 , wherein when the number of the pixels in the specific area is greater than the number of pixels in the first target identification image, replacing the display data of the corresponding pixels in the specific area of the transparent image with the first encoded data to generate the first verification image comprises:

replacing display data of other pixels than the corresponding pixels of the first target identification image in the specific area of the transparent image with second encoded data while the display data of the corresponding pixels in the specific area of the transparent image are replaced with the first encoded data, so as to obtain the first verification image.

6 . The multimedia broadcast monitoring method of claim 2 , wherein a step of analyzing the display image to determine whether the display image of the display terminal is correct comprises:

analyzing the display image to obtain an identification image actually displayed by the display terminal;

processing the identification image actually displayed, and obtaining the second identification image according to resolution information of the first identification image;

comparing the second identification image with the first identification image, and determining that the display image is wrong if the second identification image is not consistent with the first identification image;

acquiring the second identity authentication information according to the second identification image if the second identification image is consistent with the first identification image; and

comparing the second identity authentication information with the first identity authentication information to determine whether the display image is correct.

7 . The multimedia broadcast monitoring method of claim 6 , wherein processing the identification image actually displayed, and obtaining the second identification image according to the resolution information of the first identification image comprises:

processing the identification image actually displayed according to the number of the pixels corresponding to the specific area of the transparent image to obtain a second target identification image;

determining whether target encoded data obtained by encoding display information of all pixels in the second target identification image exist;

decoding the target encoded data to obtain decoded data if it is determined that the target encoded data obtained by encoding the display information of all pixels in the second target identification image exist; and

generating the second identification image according to the resolution information of the first identification image and the decoded data.

8 . The multimedia broadcast monitoring method of claim 7 , wherein encoding the display information of all pixels of the first target identification image to obtain the first encoded data comprises:

sequentially encoding the display information of all pixels of the first target identification image in a first preset order to obtain the first encoded data; and

processing the identification image actually displayed according to the number of the pixels corresponding to the specific area of the transparent image to obtain the second target identification image comprises:

sequentially assembling display data of all pixels in the identification image actually displayed in the first preset order according to the number of the pixels corresponding to the specific area of the transparent image, so as to obtain the second target identification image.

9 . The multimedia broadcast monitoring method of claim 6 , wherein replacing the display data of the corresponding pixels in the specific area of the transparent image with the first encoded data to generate the first verification image comprises:

sequentially replacing the display data of the corresponding pixels in the specific area of the transparent image with the first encoded data in a preset order to generate the first verification image; and

analyzing the display image to obtain the identification image actually displayed by the display terminal comprises:

sequentially extracting the display data of the corresponding pixels in the specific area of the display image in the preset order, and obtaining the identification image actually displayed by the display terminal according to the extracted display data.

10 . The multimedia broadcast monitoring method of claim 1 , wherein while the display image is analyzed, the method further comprises:
