System and method for testing set top box front panels

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for testing set top box front panels. The test system comprises a camera, an automatic test workstation and a database; the database prestores configuration parameters; the set top box comprises a display module and a processor; the automatic test workstation comprises an extracting module and a control module; the display module is controlled by the processor to display strings of nixie tubes and status of indication lamps; the extracting module is used for extracting the configuration parameters; the control module is used for controlling the camera acquiring images of the nixie tubes and the indication lamps; the camera sends the acquired images to the automatic test workstation; the automatic test workstation also comprises a recognition module and a test module; the recognition module is used for recognizing the strings of the nixie tubes and colors of the indication lamps; the test module is used for testing the nixie tubes and the indication lamps. By mean of the system and method, the nixie tubes and indication lamps of set top box front panels can be automatically tested so that problems such as missing measurement in manual observation is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a test system and a test method for the front panel of a set-top box, in particular to a factory automation monitoring system and a test method for the front panel of a TV set-top box. Background technique [0002] When the factory produces TV set-top boxes, it needs to conduct a series of functional tests, including tests on the main board, front panel, and various input and output interfaces before and after assembly to ensure product quality. The most traditional factory testing method is manual testing. Its disadvantage is that in addition to the continuous labor and management costs per piece, there may also be errors such as missing tests and false tests. In order to avoid the problems caused by manual testing, modern factories tend to use automated testing equipment. In the field of set-top box production, methods and devices for factory automated testing have gradually appeared. For example, the Chinese patent CN201120...
