Set-top box and method for using set-top box for realizing business transactions

Abstract

The invention relates to a set-top box and a method for using the set-top box for realizing business transactions. The set-top box comprises a fingerprint input prompt module, a fingerprint scanning module, a feature code extraction module, a set-top box common part and a drive module. The method comprises: the set-top box transmits business request information sent by a user to a background system; the set-top box prompts the user to input fingerprint information; the set-top box scans fingerprints of the user to obtain the fingerprint information of the user; the set-top box extracts feature codes from the fingerprint information and sends the feature codes to the background system; and the background system carries out interaction with the set-top box according to the feature codes for completing the corresponding business operation. The complexity of the use of the set-top box is greatly reduced by scanning the fingerprint information of the user, obtaining the feature codes in the fingerprint information and using the feature codes as user authority information for business transactions. Furthermore, the user does not need to set user name or password, thereby avoiding the use of the user name and the password and greatly improving the safety degree of the set-top box.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to television technology, in particular to an easy-to-use and high-safety set-top box and a method for using the set-top box to realize business transactions. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of television technology, the functions of television sets are constantly being expanded. A set-top box is a household appliance that expands the functions of a TV. [0003] Such as figure 1 As shown, the existing set-top box generally has functional modules such as CPU 1, analog audio and video and network input and output interfaces (i.e. I / O port) 2, decoding and playing module 3, memory 4, infrared remote control interface 5, etc., for ease of description , these components are collectively referred to as set-top box common component 0. The set-top box is placed on the TV. When a user watches a TV program through a set-top box, at first the user authority information such as user name and password is input thro...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor found at least the following problems in the prior art: as the services displayed in the background of the set-top box continue to enrich, such as web browsing, online transactions, etc., users need to set more permission information to use these services

In the prior art, the user authority information of the set-top box is input through the keyboard of the remote controller, which greatly increases the complexity of using the set-top box; and the user name and password are easily lost and stolen, which greatly reduces the security of the set-top box
