Embodiment Construction

[0010] The set-top box of the present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0011] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a set-top box in the present invention. The set-top box 10 is connected with a TV 20 to realize data transmission, and a remote controller 30 remotely controls the start-up and shutdown of the set-top box 10 and the TV 20 . The set-top box 10 includes a cold start mode and a warm start mode. The cold start mode is a low power consumption mode, the cold start time is t, and the start speed is relatively slow. The hot start mode is a high power consumption mode, and its start-up speed is relatively fast.

[0012] The set-top box 10 includes an audio receiving unit 12 , a timing unit 14 and a control unit 16 . The television 20 includes an audio output unit 22 . In this embodiment, both the set-top box 10 and the television set 20 also include other elements, but these...

Abstract

The invention relates to a set top box with an electricity saving function and a starting method of the set top box. The set top box comprises a hot starting mode and a cold starting mode, wherein the cold starting mode has a cold starting time, the set top box is connected with a television set, and a remote controller realizes the remote end control on the set top box and the television set in mutual connection. The method comprises the following steps that: the set top box and the television set are simultaneously turned on; the timing is started; the timing is stopped after audio signals of the television set are received; the waiting time from the timing starting to the timing stopping is obtained, and whether the waiting time is greater than or equal to the cold starting time of the set top box or not is judged; if the waiting time is greater than or equal to the cold starting time, the next starting enters the cold starting mode; and if the waiting time is smaller than the cold starting time, the next starting enters the cold starting mode. The starting mode of the set top box is selected according to the starting speed of the television set.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a set-top box, and more specifically, to a set-top box and a starting method thereof. Background technique [0002] The existing set-top box has two start-up modes in the standby state: a cold start mode (suspend mode) and a warm start mode (sleeping mode). The cold start mode is a low power consumption mode, and it takes about 15 seconds to start, and the start speed is relatively slow. The hot start mode is a high power consumption mode, and it takes about 3 seconds to start up, and the start-up speed is relatively fast. Usually the user all manually selects to enter the cold start mode or the hot start mode to start the set-top box, yet, when the user selects to enter the cold start mode, the time for watching TV programs may be longer; when the user selects to enter the hot start mode, the set-top box Startup is faster, but the TV may be slower to start up and waste power from the set-top box.
