However, neither the power cut off nor the infrared power off method can safely save user information
[0007] There is a buffer in the Linux system. When the user is operating the U disk (especially writing operations), some data will be kept in the cache of the Linux system. If the power is directly cut off at this time, this part of the data will be lost
If the user is operating the hard disk, if the power is directly cut off, not only will the data be lost, but after a long time it will cause damage to the hard disk track, resulting in the scrapping of the hard disk

Abstract

The invention provides a method for safely powering off an STB (Set Top Box). The method comprises the following steps of receiving a first power-off command sent by a remote controller by the STB; preserving data information of a user by the STB; judging whether a storage device needs to be connected or not by the STB; switching off a command for operating the storage device by the STB if the STB is connected with the storage device; unloading an external device if the external device exists in the STB; sending a second power-off command to an SCM (Single Chip Microcomputer) by the STB; and safely powering off the STB. Compared with the prior art, the method for safely powering off the STB, provided by the invention, is realized by carrying out communication with the SCM, the safety performance of the STB is increased, data loss caused by direct interruption of power supply cannot be caused, the user information can be safely preserved, or the storage device such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash disk can be safely unloaded.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of digital television, and more specifically, to a method for safely shutting down a set-top box. Background technique [0002] In recent years, China's digital TV industry, especially the cable digital TV industry, has continued to develop rapidly. The digital TV set-top box market has developed simultaneously with the overall conversion of digital TV, and the market size has continued to grow. Therefore, the set-top box is becoming an indispensable household device for more and more users. [0003] A set-top box (STB) is a device that connects your TV to an external signal source. The set-top box can convert the compressed digital signal into the content of the TV program, so that the corresponding TV program can be played on the TV. The digital signal may originate from cable, satellite dish, broadband network or terrestrial broadcast. In addition to receiving images and sounds in TV programs, the set-...
