Implementation method of multi-data source information browser in set-top box

Abstract

The invention provides an implementation method of a multi-data source information browser in a set-top box, which comprises the following steps: A) designing types and routes of information service content data sources supported by the browser according to the actual needs; B) designing address naming conventions and addressing protocol and rules for each data source route; C) designing different address prefixes for representing the different source routes of data; D) leading a user or an operator to set start entry address at the first startup of the browser; E) leading the browser to obtain and analyze a page and further show information service content after obtaining the address of the page; and F) well setting the entry address of the next page and repeating the step E) when the skip between the pages is initiated during the user interaction process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control method, in particular to a method for realizing a multi-data source information browser in a set-top box. Background technique [0002] In the era of digital TV, information content service is the most important value-added service. The browser is an important component for receiving, parsing and presenting information service content, and there are many ways to apply it. In one-way applications, data broadcasting is an important way to provide information service content and has been widely used. Its general implementation method is: use data or object carousel technology to periodically broadcast and send the information service content in the broadcasting network at the front end of the system broadcasting. The terminal device receives and analyzes these data through the information browser, presents the broadcast content in the form of pictures or text, and provides the necessary operation and interaction functi...

Problems solved by technology

[0012] 3. Existing browsers cannot support two data source modes at the same time, or cannot support flexible switching between the two working modes, that is, if a link address in a page from TS stream points to an Internet address, then it cannot Switch from the working mode of the radio network to the Internet working mode; similarly, if there is a connection address in a page originating from the Internet that points to a certain page of the data broadcast in the TS stream, it cannot switch from the Internet working mode to the radio and television In network mode

As a result, the data sources between the Internet and the broadcasting network are fragmented and cannot be integrated

[0013] It can be seen that the working mode of existing browsers splits the sources of multiple data, resulting in the inability to integrate and utilize information service content from multiple sources, and there is no way to use some information service content on the resources of the set-top box itself.
