Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the actual use of IPTV services, some videos on the IPTV platform EPG do not implement full-broadcast control or half-broadcast control. For example, the small video area on the home page of the EPG is usually used for TV dramas, movies and other new movie recommendations, sports events and other program previews, etc. , EPG often does not implement the corresponding broadcast control logic and UI logic for such video programs, and the user may perform key operations such as fast forward, fast forward, mute, and volume adjustment through the remote control, and these keys will appear unresponsive , and there is no corresponding UI icon display, which brings a very bad experience to the user operation

Embodiment 1

[0062] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the steps of the EPG video playback control method of the set-top box in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] Such as figure 1 Shown, the playback control method of the EPG video of set-top box, this set-top box is installed with the browser software subsystem that is responsible for JS logic execution and execution broadcast control logic, it is characterized in that, comprises the following steps:

[0064] Step S1, setting a set of global playback control flag variables of a specific key in the browser software subsystem and setting it as a false value.

[0065] In the browser software subsystem, set the global playback control flag variable of a group of specific buttons to a false value, which is used to identify whether the EPG has processed the corresponding playback control operation.

[0066] Specifically, in the browser software subsystem on the set-top box side, set the global playback control flag variable ...

Embodiment 2

[0096] This embodiment can further solve the third additional problem: the set-top box side accurately follows the user's playback control operation while displaying the correct playback status, so that the user can know whether the button operation is responded.

[0097] In order to further improve the user experience and ease of use of the set-top box above, this embodiment also has the following step S6 on the basis of embodiment 1:

[0098] Between steps S4 and S5, step S6 is inserted to perform an icon display operation, the browser software subsystem invokes the UI logic and displays the UI icon corresponding to the changed playback state,

[0099] The UI logic is used to call the local UI icon and display and hide the corresponding UI icon according to the actual playback control operation.

[0100] Such as figure 1 As shown, step S6 is an optimization step between step S4 and step S5. In step S4: after the browser software subsystem executes the local broadcast contro...

Embodiment 3

[0102] In step S2 in the above embodiments 1 and 2, the browser software subsystem detects that the loaded EPG page has a video playback response. This embodiment further describes the situation where no video playback is detected:

[0103] Wherein, when the browser software subsystem detects that there is no video playback on the loaded EPG page, no operation is performed, and the corresponding global playback control flag variable corresponding to the pressed button or the button pops up does not change, and all global playback The control flag variable remains false.

Abstract

A method and system for controlling playback of EPG video in a set-top box. The set-top box is installed with a browser software subsystem responsible for JS logic execution and broadcast control logic, including: S1, setting a group of specific buttons in the browser software subsystem for global playback Control the flag variable and set it as a false value; S2, when the remote control button is pressed, if it is full broadcast control or half broadcast control, the browser software subsystem directly calls the corresponding broadcast control logic to perform playback control, and calls these While broadcasting the control logic, the global playback control flag variable corresponding to the button is set to a true value and transferred to S3; S3, when the remote control button pops up and the event is executed, the browser software subsystem judges whether the corresponding global playback control flag variable is True value, if it is a true value, enter S5, otherwise S4; S4, when it is a false value, the browser software subsystem performs local broadcast control logic processing according to the corresponding broadcast control button; S5, the browser software subsystem detects a new EPG loaded, go to S1.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a playback control method and system of a set-top box, belonging to the field of computers. Background technique [0002] With the continuous construction of broadband networks by operators and the rapid increase in broadband speed, IPTV services have developed rapidly across the country in recent years, and the number of IPTV users has exceeded 100 million. The biggest highlight of IPTV business is that it can provide a variety of rich and colorful video programs. Users can use IPTV set-top boxes to watch various videos on the platform side EPG (Electronic Program Guide, electronic program menu), and can fast forward / rewind through the remote control , volume + / -, mute and other playback control operations. [0003] EPG has two methods of video broadcast control, including full broadcast control and half broadcast control. Full broadcast control means that when the IPTV set-top box plays platform-side video programs, it is c...
