Set-top box configuring method, device and system

Abstract

The invention relates to a set-top box configuring method, device and system. The method comprises the following steps: receiving configuration information sent by a background server of a set-top box console, wherein the configuration information comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for visiting a web server, and the URL comprises user account information; downloading the set-top box configuration data and an application software for a terminal, wherein the set-top box configuration data corresponds to the user account information and the application software for the terminal corresponds to the operating system of the terminal; running the application software for the terminal to obtain the Bluetooth device identification of the set-top box from the set-top box configuration data; searching and linking the set-top box corresponding to a Bluetooth device by utilizing the Bluetooth device identification; and sending the set-top box configuration data to the set-top box so that the set-top box can be configured by utilizing the set-top box configuration data. The automatic configuration of the set-top box is realized, and the configuration cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to set-top box technology, in particular to a method, device and system for configuring a set-top box. Background technique [0002] An Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) set-top box (Set Top Box, STB) is an essential device for watching IPTV. However, IPTV STB has many configuration items, and these configuration items need to be configured after the STB is started to realize TV playback or other functions. [0003] However, for ordinary users, it is too professional to configure the STB through the STB interface, and for the operator to send a special person to configure the STB at home, the cost is too high. Therefore, there are currently two configuration methods for IPTV STBs: one is to use the terminal network management to realize automatic configuration, the STB first connects to the network, configures the terminal network management IP, and after access authentication, the terminal network management issues the configu...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] There are at least the following defects in the prior art: the configuration range is limited by the former method

The latter method is costly and difficult to maintain and manage

If not all users have the same STB configuration, the operator needs to write to the U disk when sending the STB, which cannot be made in advance uniformly, and the operation is troublesome when opening an account

During the user's use, the user's own modification of the configuration is confusing. If he wants to restore the initial configuration, he needs to find the U disk, and the U disk may be lost.
