System and method for implementing information service based on interactive television platform

Abstract

The invention provides a system and a method for realizing information service, which are based on an interactive television platform. The invention relates to the field of interactive television information service, in particular to the realization of television short message and television mail service. By combining the internet technology on a computer terminal with the DVB broadcasting technology applied to the digital television field in a seamless manner, the invention can enable the system to provide the two-way information service which is similar to sending a short message with a cell phone and sending an e-mail on a television terminal for an interactive television user. The invention is characterized in that system information is published by adopting a method which combines a broadcasting mode and a user inquiry mode and is based on a digital television. A notification message is subjected to TS packaging in accordance with the DVB norm, and is broadcast in various frequencies of the entire network. A TS information stream includes addressing information and message notification information about a set-top-box. Built-in software in the set-top-box terminal captures the TS information stream in real time, filters and parses the addressing information, and extracts message notification information belonging to the software. An 'information service platform' obtains the user's name, the address, the user type, the state, the user identification, the set-top-box number, and the Email account number. An 'Email acquisition engine' polls incoming Emails to the user periodically in accordance with a POP protocol, and acquires and stores the Emails in a current Email list of an Email server. A television short message is received and transmitted not only through transmission among set-top-boxes within a network but also through internetwork transmission between set-top-boxes and other operators. An internetwork short message is subjected to protocol conversion.
