Method, Device for Running Internet Protocol Television Service System, and Internet Protocol Television Service System
First Claim
1. A method for operating an internet protocol television service system, comprising:
- a service control manager receiving a present network electronic programmer guide (EPG) server failure message sent by a content management system, wherein, information of a backup EPG server distributed for the failed present network EPG server is carried in the present network EPG server failure message;
the service control manager sending an obtaining instruction message to the backup EPG server to instruct the backup EPG server to obtain service information of the failed present network EPG server; and
the service control manager, after receiving an obtaining response message sent by the backup EPG server, sending a switching notification to the content management system to instruct the content management system to send internet protocol television service data of the failed present network EPG server through the backup EPG server.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a method, apparatus and system for operating an internet protocol television service system. The present invention relates to communication field, and solves the problem of poor quality of service caused by using a cold backup electronic programmer guide (EPG) server or transferring a user to other EPG server. The method includes: a backup electronic programmer guide (EPG) server receiving an obtaining instruction message sent by a service control manager, wherein the obtaining instruction message instructs the backup EPG server to obtain service information of a failed present network EPG server; the backup EPG server obtaining the service information of the failed present network EPG server according to the obtaining instruction message, and sending an obtaining response message to the service control manager after finishing obtaining the service information.
