Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a set-top box control method and a device, which relate to the technical field of a set-top box. The set-top box control method and the device are used for precisely controlling the use region of the set-top box (STB) and preventing the roaming of the STB in the same operation region, wherein the set-top box control method comprises the following steps: obtaining the current position of the set-top box; judging whether the current position of the set-top box is in the set region or not; starting the set-top box for working if the current position of the set-top box is in the set region; and forbidding the work of the set-top box if the current position of the set-top box is not in the set region. The embodiment of the invention can precisely and effectively control the use region of the STB, and can prevent the roaming of the STB in the same operation region.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of set-top boxes, in particular to a method and device for controlling a set-top box. Background technique [0002] A set-top box (Set Top Box, STB) is an information device used to enhance or expand the functions of a TV. The STB can not only receive satellite broadcasts and programs delivered through cables, but also provide additional services, such as on the Internet (Internet) Choose the movie you want to watch, enjoy satellite video on demand (Video On Demand, VOD) service, and conduct e-commerce transactions such as home banking and so on. [0003] As the functions of STB become more and more abundant, operators urgently hope to control the usage area of ​​STB reasonably and effectively, so as to prevent STB from roaming in different usage areas and reduce the operator's potential profit loss. In order to control the use area of ​​STB, a conditional access (Conditional Access, CA) end system is usual...
