Problems solved by technology

However, the common set-top box UI (User Interface, user interface, also known as man-machine interface) must be adjusted through software upgrades. If an accident occurs during the process and the upgrade fails, the set-top box may not work properly; With the expansion of the market, the workload of version maintenance will continue to increase. The existing UI software does not separate the link management module from the menu module, which undoubtedly increases the maintenance burden of R&D personnel.

Embodiment Construction

[0013] A set-top box user interface link management method of the present invention is to separate the user operation interface switching, assign a state ID to each user software operation interface, and point to some fixed static forms or run some specific state IDs through the state ID. Operation function, switching between various operation interfaces is actually transformed into switching between state IDs.

[0014] see figure 1 As shown, it specifically includes the following three steps:

[0015] 1. Initialization step: Initialize the depth of the menu state, automatically locate a default state ID, and enter the corresponding function interface function of the ID;

[0016] 2. State change steps: If the user has input a specific execution command, or the timer has sent a request, or other processes have started related operations, after changing the next execution state ID and exiting from the function interface, the program will respond and Set the next execution stat...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for managing an interface link for a set-top box user. A user operation interface is switched to be independent, and a state ID is allotted to each user software operation interface; and some fixed static forms are appointed by the state IDs or some concrete operations function are run, therefore, the switching among all operation interfaces is practically converted into the switching among the state IDs. The invention can reduce the code quantity and the working amount for the development and the maintenance of continuously added software versions.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to a set-top box, in particular to a user interface link management method of the set-top box, which belongs to the field of digital television equipment. 【Background technique】 [0002] In recent years, with the promotion of cable digital TV, cable digital TV set-top boxes have gradually entered thousands of households. During the use of set-top boxes, with the continuous popularization of cable digital TV and the continuous increase of value-added services, the menu structure will inevitably become more complicated. A shortcut. At the same time, users will inevitably put forward new requirements for menu structure and function settings during use, and radio and television operators must constantly adjust to meet users. However, the common set-top box UI (User Interface, user interface, also known as man-machine interface) must be adjusted through software upgrades. If an accident occurs during the process and the upgrade fai...
