Middleware system for realizing interactive increase value traffic based on IP set top box and method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a middleware system for interactive value-added service based on an IP set-top box. A first application layer comprises a signaling service control module and an apolegamic functional module; the signaling service control module provides reversible transmission protocols for information transmission and communication service, and the apolegamic functional module provides functional support for application service. A second application layer builds and processes the messages of the interactive application service; the messages include a message head and a message body; the message head contains message type information, session attribute information and at least one of the following information: equipment attribute information, capacity description information and auxiliary parameter information; the message body includes service logic and / or service content of the application service. A dynamic scalable interface description layer comprises an interface for the second application layer to access to the first application layer. The second application layer acquires corresponding functional supports of the application service from the signaling service control module and the functional module. The invention in addition provides a relevant method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the embedded system field, in particular to the middleware technology used in the set-top box and the method for realizing the interactive value-added service. Background technique [0002] IPTV and digital TV are developing rapidly around the world. In China, major operators are using their own networks to fully promote family digitization. Although the current IPTV or digital TV products are relatively mature, they still have limitations. The current digital TV business is based on the broadcast TV signal network. This one-way network can only provide more channels, quasi-on-demand (broadcast mode) and limited interactive services, and lacks a good profit model. However, the current IPTV products still mainly provide simple real-time on-demand services. However, it is extremely difficult to meet the on-demand needs of a large number of users on the IP network, and the profit model is single. Therefore, it can be seen that ...

Problems solved by technology

This mode is powerful and adaptable, but the development and distribution of application services are more complex and difficult

Another common technology is the development model based on WEB. Because it is based on explanatory data, the development of application services is less difficult, but its functions are limited, and it is difficult to expand. It is difficult to adapt to applications with complex or special requirements for interface styles and interface logic. service requirements, and it is difficult to make application services compatible with different terminal devices at the same time

Although there are middleware products that support these two modes at the same time, they are completely separated and cannot provide more diversified or flexible application implementation methods through complementary advantages, nor can they effectively play the role of explanatory data in application service development
