Set top box (STB) and processing method for watching program

Abstract

The invention discloses a set top box (STB) and a processing method for watching a program. The STB comprises a memory module, an identification module and a trigger module, wherein the memory module is used for storing habit pattern data of programs watched by a user; the habit pattern data comprise habit pattern events and corresponding trigger conditions; the identification module is used for identifying whether pattern data of the programs watched by the user currently are matched with the trigger conditions in the habit pattern data stored in the memory module; and the trigger module is used for triggering the habit pattern events corresponding to the matched trigger conditions in accordance with user operations when the identification module identifies that the pattern data of the programs watched by the user currently are matched with the trigger conditions in the habit pattern data stored in the memory module. The method is used to realize the intelligent STB with low cost, and is easy to realize.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of television, in particular to a set-top box and a program viewing processing method. Background technique [0002] With the development of digital broadcasting and television networks, more and more set-top boxes are put on the market. Some set-top boxes can sense user habits and communicate with users in addition to passively receiving user control. For example, the prior art proposes a set-top box, the set-top box automatically detects and identifies the identity of the user through the video acquisition module, retrieves the user's favorite programs and program lists through the information retrieval module, and the set-top box also realizes the automatic presentation of the user's favorite programs and program lists, Among them, the video acquisition module automatically recognizes the user's expression at regular intervals, and the set-top box gives corresponding prompts when it finds that the user is...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the above implementation scheme, in order to realize the automatic recognition of user expressions, the set-top box needs to include a video capture module for real-time user video capture, and the current implementation of the video capture module is generally like a camera, etc., and the cost is relatively high, which may be higher than that of all set-top boxes. Other modules are much higher, which makes the overall implementation cost of the set-top box high; and because the identity recognition and facial expression recognition are greatly affected by external conditions such as light, it is easy to cause inaccurate recognition and high error rates, so that the set-top box cannot accurately perform identity recognition. , expression recognition, which in turn affects the correct retrieval and presentation of user favorite programs and program lists, as well as communication with users, so set-top boxes are poor in realizing user habits and communicating with users
