Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the overall transition process from analog TV to digital TV, operators and consumers are faced with such a problem: in order for consumers to watch digital TV programs, they must equip each TV with a corresponding set-top box. In the billing mode, each set-top box needs to pay a certain monthly rent separately
This means that consumers may use this method to evade the monthly rental fees generated by the mainframe, which will cause losses to the interests of the operators.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 1, the front end of the system of the present invention mainly includes a customer management system (SMS) and a conditional access system (CAS). First, establish user information and information about the user’s master and slave machines in the SMS, and then send the user information including the STB host information to the CAS through the SMS gateway. After being encrypted by the CAS, the user authorization management information including the STB host information will be sent. (EMM) is sent to the STB sub-machine and stored.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2 , the terminal of the system of the present invention mainly includes a STB host, a remote controller of the host (that is, a learning remote controller) and an STB slave. The STB host is the first STB in the user's home, which can be provided to the user free of charge by the se...

Abstract

This invention provides a binding method for host-sub set of a set-top box incluing: writing in a unique serial number in each unprovided set- top box, defining if a set-top box to be granted is a master or a sub-one and sending a serial number of a binded host and specific information showing that this is a sub-one to a sub-set when it is going to be granted and storing the information in the sub-one, asking a user to activate and verify it each time when turning on the sub-set or after a specific period of time, if the verification is successful, then the sub one works normally, if not, then it asks the user to carry out said activation verification again.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a binding method for a set-top box main unit and an auxiliary unit and a binding system using the method. Background technique [0002] In the overall transition process from analog TV to digital TV, operators and consumers are faced with such a problem: in order for consumers to watch digital TV programs, they must equip each TV with a corresponding set-top box. In the charging mode, each set-top box needs to pay a certain monthly rent separately. Under normal circumstances, consumers are unwilling to pay extra for their second, third or more set-top boxes (hereinafter referred to as auxiliary machines, and the corresponding first set-top boxes are called host machines). monthly rental fee. But the situation is: if the monthly rental fee of its auxiliary machine is exempted, when a home user owns the set-top box host and the auxiliary machine at the same time, the family’s auxiliary machine may be used by other families as t...
