System and method for remotely controlling set-top box

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for remotely controlling a set-top box. The system comprises a television set-top box and a family network domain, wherein the television set-top box receives programme signals of various types, which are provided by operators; the home network domain comprises a home gateway, a television set-top box and a signal transformation device, wherein the television set-top box is connected with the signal transformation device and inputs programme signals to the signal transformation device, a mobile terminal accesses the home gateway through a mobile network and logs on after being verified by the home gateway, the programme signals sent by the signal transformation device are received by the mobile terminal, and the signal transformation device transforms remote control commands sent by the mobile terminal to infrared control signals which can be received and identified by the television set-top box so as to remotely control the mobile terminal of the television set-top box. The invention has the advantage that television programmes of a home television set-top box can be televiewed through a common mobile terminal provided with client-side software, thereby televiewing high-definition digital television programmes anywhere and anytime, and the television set-top box programmes are controlled by the mobile terminal.
