Method, device and system for configuring set-top box

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method, a device and a system for configuring a set top box. The method comprises: receiving configuration information sent by a daemon server of a set top box console, the configuration information comprising a uniform resource locator (URL) for accessing a web server, and the URL comprising user account information; downloading, from a Web server corresponding to the URL, set top box configuration data corresponding to the user account information and terminal application software corresponding to an operating system of a terminal; obtaining a Bluetooth device identifier of a set top box from the set top box configuration data by running the terminal application software; searching, by using the Bluetooth device identifier, for the set top box corresponding to the Bluetooth device identifier and linking the set top box; and sending the set top box configuration data to the set top box, so that the set top box performs configuration by using the set top box configuration data. Therefore, 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 interactive Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) set-top box (SetTopBox, STB) is an essential device for watching IPTV television. However, there are many configuration items in IPTVSTB, and these configuration items need to be configured after STB starts 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 IPTVSTB: 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...

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.
