Embodiment Construction

[0034] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] Such as figure 1 Shown is the working flow chart of the present invention.

[0036] Step 1: The set-top box stores the TV program received from the program source in the memory, and then takes out the TV program from the memory to play;

[0037] Step 2: When the user needs to leave halfway while watching TV through the set-top box, in order not to miss the exciting program during the time away, he can press the pause button on the remote control, and the set-top box will receive the program pause command and stop taking out the TV from the memory At the same time, the TV programs received from the program source are still stored in the memory, that is, the set-top box starts recording TV programs and saves the recorded data in the memory;

[0038] Step 3: After the user comes back, press the OK button to continue playing, the...

Abstract

The invention relates to the related technical field of set-top boxes, in particular to a method for ensuring the continuous playing of a program by the set-top box and the set-top box. The method comprises that: the set-top box stores the television program received from a program source into cache equipment, and then extracts the television program for play from the cache equipment; when receiving a program playing halting command, the set-top box stops extracting the television program from the cache equipment, and simultaneously stores the television program received from the program source into the cache equipment; and when receiving a program playing continuing command, the set-top box plays the television program according to a playing continuing strategy. By the method and the set-top box, a memory of the set-top box is fully utilized, and the additional overhead of a hard disk, a server or the like is not required to be increased; and simultaneously, the continuity of the program is ensured by adopting an accelerating playing method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the related technical field of set-top boxes, in particular to a method for the set-top box to ensure continuous broadcasting of programs and the set-top box. Background technique [0002] At present, a set-top box equipped with a personal video recorder (personal video recoder, PVR) can realize program playback; a two-way set-top box can also realize program playback with a time shift function. The set-top box with PVR needs to add a hard disk to use, and the cost is relatively high. Another kind of set-top box that realizes recording is a two-way set-top box, which needs a network server at the front end, and the recording and saving of data are all set on the network server. However, because the front end needs to build a server, the cost is relatively high. [0003] And its biggest shortcoming of existing one-way set-top box is: can only play the program that front-end sends continuously, can't replay, just can't see agai...
