System and method for collecting user information

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for collecting user information. The system comprises: a network manager and a home gateway, wherein the network manager is used for sending a user information collection function starting notice to the home gateway; and the home gateway is used for detecting and collecting user information after receiving the user information collection function starting notice and periodically reporting the collected user information to the network manager. The technical proposal of the invention conveniently realizes the real-time information collection of various kinds of equipment in the home gateway and the overall detection of user preferred services and reports the collected information and the detection result to an operator, thereby facilitating the realization of differentiated services and contributing to business promotion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a system and method for collecting user information. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the Internet and its application technologies, people can use the Internet to develop more and more abundant applications and services. As a portal for home users to access the Internet—the home gateway, it also integrates more and more abundant network application services. In addition to providing users with basic Internet access services, it also provides services such as network video, Internet telephony, and video surveillance; in the home networking around the layout of the home gateway, there are naturally PCs (computers), STBs (set-top boxes), Phone (telephone) and Camera (camera / camera) and other devices of different types and in large numbers. At the same time, it can be expected that with the enrichment of home network services, the type and number of devices...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the currently applied home gateway products do not provide a method for extracting valuable information from various devices in the home network, especially electronic consumer products. spending power and preferences, nor a differentiated understanding of

Since the above-mentioned devices and services cannot be subdivided down to the user level, from an operational point of view, operators cannot know user preferences. Furthermore, operators cannot provide differentiated services and services for different users. For business promotion, only a few business models can be designated for non-targeted marketing promotion, and this kind of promotion is often aimless

Obviously, this status quo cannot adapt to the development of flexible and rapidly developing home network services.

[0004] With the gradual popularization of digital homes, all kinds of home appliances and mobile devices will be further integrated into the home network, requiring more interactions with home gateway devices. and the user's business consumption preference, the home gateway will still stay at the current product positioning, and at the same time, the operator will also lose the powerful business promotion means and differentiated market competitive advantages
