Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, there are many disadvantages in the traditional design. For example, the collection of data is concentrated when the user enters the quasi-VOD service, which will lead to: 1. Unreasonable utilization of the processor (CPU); 2. Long waiting time for the user; 3. .Memory space takes up a lot

Embodiment Construction

[0012] refer to figure 1 , is a block diagram of the set-top box 100 and its application environment in the embodiment of the present invention. The STB 100 is connected to the database 301 of the video server 300 for providing Near Video On Demand (NVOD) services. The set top box 100 includes a processor (CPU) 101 , a judging module 102 , a storage module 103 , a receiving module 104 , an analyzing module 105 , a playing module 106 and a timing module 107 .

[0013] The processor 101 is used for controlling and processing various program tasks in the set-top box 100 .

[0014] The judging module 102 is connected to the processor 101 for judging whether the processor 101 is in an idle state. In this embodiment, the idle state means that the usage rate of the processor 101 is less than a preset ratio, for example, the preset ratio is 30%, and when the usage rate of the processor 101 is 25%, the judging module 102 judges that the processor 101 is in the In an idle state, the ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for playing a quasi video-on-demand for a set-top box, which comprises the following steps: judging whether a module judgment processor is in idle state or not; if so, connecting a storage module with a video server, and storing quasi video-on-demand data in a database in the video server, wherein the quasi video-on-demand data comprises an event and time of the quasi video-on-demand; using a receiving module to receive a quasi video-on-demand command inputted by a user; using an analyzing module to analyze the quasi video-on-demand data according to the quasi video-on-demand command and output analyzed contents; and using a playing module to provide quasi video-on-demand service according to the analyzed contents. The method for playing the quasi video-on-demand for the set-top box can store the quasi video-on-demand data when the set-top box is in the idle state, thereby saving the playing time after the user selects the video-on-demand service and simultaneously improving the utilization rate of the processor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a set-top box, in particular to a method for playing Near Video On Demand (NVOD) by the set-top box. Background technique [0002] More and more users choose the Near Video On Demand (NVOD) service when using the set-top box, and the traditional design of the set-top box is: when the user enters the near video on demand, the set-top box starts to send a request to the video server, parse , store the event and time information of all quasi-VOD services, wait for the data to be collected completely, enter the quasi-VOD interface, and collect all data when the user enters the quasi-VOD service. [0003] However, there are many disadvantages in the traditional design. For example, the collection of data is concentrated when the user enters the quasi-VOD service, which will lead to: 1. Unreasonable utilization of the processor (CPU); 2. Long waiting time for the user; 3. . The memory space is larger. [0004] How to solve the abov...
