Problems solved by technology

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, some set-top boxes remind users through the traditional standby screen method, that is, after the set-top box enters the standby state, it will continuously output video images with a small power to remind the user. The huge energy consumption caused by turning off the TV, but due to the energy consumption caused by the video output of the set-top box in the standby state, in the case of large-scale use and long-term standby, the accumulated energy consumption is also very huge
On the other hand, some high-end TVs can intelligently detect whether there is a video signal at the port connected to the set-top box to automatically trigger the TV’s standby screen or enter the standby state. very few users

Embodiment 3

[0046] The flow of the method for realizing the standby notification of the set-top box in the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Such as figure 2 Shown is one embodiment which more fully implements the invention. Wherein, the implementation process of the set-top box standby prompt of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 1. Turn on the set-top box;

[0048] Step 2. The set-top box initiates a standby prompt screen update request to the management system through the screen update module;

[0049] Step 3. The management system responds to the update request and returns the latest prompt screen information;

[0050] Step 4. The set-top box compares the latest prompt screen information returned with the local prompt screen information: if there is no need to upgrade and update, directly enter the subsequent boot process; if an upgrade is required, download new prompt screen information to the m...

Abstract

The invention provides a set-top box standby reminding device and a method thereof; before a set-top box enters a standby state, a reminding picture which is output by the set-top box for a period of time reminds a user to timely turn off a TV set, so as to prevent energy waste caused by the forgetting of the user to turn off the TV set. The invention also adopts a timing method, so that the set-top box is automatically turned off after the standby reminding is displayed for a period of time, thereby preventing the energy waste caused by the continuous output of a standby picture.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of set-top boxes, in particular to a device and method for a set-top box standby prompt. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of digital TV, more and more users are watching TV programs and enjoying diversified multimedia information in the combination mode of TV and set-top box. In this mode, when users finish watching, they need to turn off the TV respectively Enter the standby state with the set-top box, otherwise it will cause unnecessary waste of energy. [0003] At present, when the user turns off the set-top box through the remote control, the set-top box stops the output of audio and video, enters the standby state, and the TV has no sound and displays a black screen. At this time, because the user cannot clearly recognize that the TV is still on, the user often forgets to turn off the TV machine. Taking the 36-inch flat-panel TV commonly used in households as an example, the power c...
