Realizing method of STB (Set Top Box) database and STB

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a realizing method of an STB (Set Top Box) database. The realizing method of the STB database comprises the following steps of obtaining a database document needed by an STB during the operation; uniformly coding the database document according to a preset coding regulation, and transforming the coded database document into a preset data format; and storing the database document which is transformed into the preset data format. The embodiment of the invention also discloses the STB. By adopting the invention, an obtained database document can be uniformly coded and transformed into data with the same data format so as to be stored in the database, and the unification of all the information in the database document in the STB database on the coding mode and the data format is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of set-top box databases, in particular to a method for realizing a set-top box database and a set-top box. Background technique [0002] The development of the current set-top box industry is quite mature, and manufacturers add more and more functional modules to the set-top box. It has entered an era of modular development, and requires high independence, functionality, and portability of functional modules, but Generally, set-top box manufacturers pay too much attention to module upgrades and functional requirements, while ignoring the back-end database of the set-top box. [0003] At present, most set-top box manufacturers do not have a unified database model when designing databases. The definition of the database is relatively random, and the data is simply stored in the flash memory to plan a data area, and then directly enter the two-dimensional table of the relevant information in various data formats Stored...

Problems solved by technology

Two-dimensional tables such as antenna information two-dimensional table, satellite information two-dimensional table, frequency point information two-dimensional table, program information two-dimensional table and system configuration information two-dimensional table included in the database file in the set-top box database are in data format and encoding method Due to the differences between the two-dimensional tables, such as the large difference between the system configuration information and the program list information, this causes confusion in the management of the database in the flash memory and reduces the overall performance of the set-top box.

At the same time, due to the differences between the various two-dimensional tables, there are also differences between the set-top box platforms, resulting in relatively large differences in the interfaces for calling the database in the upper layers of different set-top boxes, resulting in long software development cycles, poor maintainability, and low usability.
