Embodiment Construction

[0013] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0014] After the remote control soft terminal of the smart terminal is turned on, it searches for the corresponding set-top box to be controlled, and obtains the IP address communication port of the set-top box or performs Bluetooth pairing, etc., to provide basic parameters of network connection for subsequent control communication.

[0015] When the remote control soft terminal is turned on, firstly, the local channel list is updated through the SI information obtained by the set-top box.

[0016] Such as figure 1 As shown, there are three main types of control functions: sliding control, traditional button control, and business-defined shortcut control.

[0017] Swipe control: Users only need to swipe their fingers to realize the basic operation of the traditional TV remote control interface. For example, when the user is watching real-time TV, slide the finger do...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for displaying set-top box program information and controlling a set-top box based on an intelligent terminal. The method comprises the following steps: an intelligent terminal such as an IPAD, an iPhone and equipment based on an android platform is used as a remote controller of a cable TV set-top box; a touch screen of the intelligent terminal is used to carry out sliding control of a set-top box menu; the intelligent terminal is used to simulate remote control keys of the set-top box; the intelligent terminal is used to provide set-top box text input; the intelligent terminal and the set-top box carry out EPG information synchronization; the intelligent terminal controls the set-top box through an EPG menu; the intelligent terminal is used to carry out voice inputting; a voice recognition result is displayed at a terminal interface; and multifunctional combined keys are set. According to the method, based on the existing intelligent terminal, a variety of remote control methods for the digital TV set-top box are provided, a user can carry out controlling and information inputting on the set-top box, and great convenience is brought to the operation of the user.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for displaying program information of a cable digital interactive set-top box and controlling the set-top box based on an intelligent terminal, which belongs to the field of cable digital television. Background technique [0002] The interactive TV set-top box is a terminal provided by the cable network operator for the user to receive interactive digital TV services. The user can generally control the set-top box through the remote control and select the service that the user needs. However, the buttons of the general remote control are fixed, and there is a certain number limit. As the interactive TV business becomes more and more abundant, the operation of ordinary remote control buttons will be more complicated, and the number of shortcut keys is limited. At the same time, the text input of ordinary remote control keys is very unchanged, and language input cannot be performed. The traditional button remote control...
