Embodiment Construction

[0041] The method and system described in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] First, the method for expanding the functions of the network TV terminal based on software described in the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail, including the following steps:

[0043] Step A: In the browser of the Internet TV terminal, set the function expansion module of the Internet TV terminal through software;

[0044] Step B: calling the IPTV terminal expansion module to expand the functions of the IPTV terminal.

[0045] The IPTV terminal extension module includes: an IPTVAbility object (IPTV terminal capability object) and / or an IPTVInterface object (IPTV terminal interface object). The device capability of the IPTV terminal can be expanded through the IPTVAbility object, and the interface provided by the IPTV terminal to the EPG can be simplified through the IPTVInterface ob...

Abstract

The invention discloses a software-based method and system for extending a web television terminal, which includes: extending modules by equipping software with web television terminal functions in the browser module of the web television terminal; using the extending module of the web television and implementing extension to the functions of the web television terminal. The method and system of the invention is capable of describing the equipment capability of an IPTV terminal clearly, which is beneficial for the extendibility and self-adaptability of the system; the method integrates the access type of the IPTV terminal, which gives the IPTV terminal interchangeability and reduces the reliability of the system equipment and the terminal equipment, helping the upgrading and popularizing of the IPTV system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of IPTV (Internet TV) system, in particular to a method and system for expanding the function of an Internet TV terminal based on software Background technique [0002] In the current IPTV system, STBs (set-top boxes) cannot be interchanged arbitrarily, that is, a specific STB can only be adapted to a specific IPTV system. The main reason for this situation is that: the device capabilities of the set-top box are different from the sets of operation interfaces of the set-top box. [0003] The difference in device capabilities of the set-top boxes lies in the differences in the support levels of the set-top boxes for the types of media played. Due to market and cost factors, it is impossible for set-top boxes to support all existing media types; due to the development of technology, new media types will continue to emerge, and new media types cannot be supported by current set-top boxes. The above re...
