Embodiment 1

[0049] Compared with the database matching search method, this embodiment provides a search engine-based IPTV system solution, uses the search engine to locate programs, arranges the returned program collections according to the matching degree, and has the function of pushing hot programs related to this type of program .

[0050] Figure 5 It is a structural block diagram of an IPTV system based on a search engine according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as Figure 5 As shown, the IPTV system may include: a terminal module 502, a set-top box information processing module 504, a program search module 506, a program sorting module 508, an index library 510, a multimedia service module 512, a multimedia program source 514 and an index module 516. Each module is described in detail below.

[0051] The terminal module 502 is used for playing, displaying and controlling multimedia information, and receiving user input information, for example, program retrieval condit...

Embodiment 2

[0070] This embodiment provides a retrieval scheme for multimedia programs, such as Figure 5 As shown, the relationship between the modules is described as follows:

[0071] (1) Terminal module 502

[0072] Receive user input, for example, a TV remote. The input information includes IPTV system settings, program playback control, program retrieval conditions, etc.

[0073] Send the user input information to the STB module.

[0074] Receiver top box feedback signal, information prompt function, program display function, etc.

[0075] (2) Set-top box module 504

[0076] Responsible for receiving the input information of the terminal module, transmitting the feedback information of the search module, and transmitting the multimedia program playback information provided by the multimedia service module;

[0077] Record user program retrieval behavior, complete user behavior analysis, and initiate push program retrieval request when user program retrieval; forward user progra...

Embodiment 3

[0109] In this example, the user initiates a program retrieval request, the search engine executes the retrieval task and returns the program list, and then the user selects the appropriate program content for on-demand viewing.

[0110] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the processing process of the retrieval method according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the specific processing process includes the following steps:

[0111] In step S802, the STB module receives the retrieval condition input by the terminal module. For example, the user wants to watch Jackie Chan's movie, and enters the retrieval condition "25" on the TV remote control.

[0112] Step S804, the set-top box module forwards the retrieval condition to the search engine module. At the same time, the set-top box module analyzes the user's preferences for watching movies, and initiates a push program retrieval request, for example, "historical drama", "25".

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for searching multi-media programs. The method comprises the following steps of receiving a request for the multi-media programs sent by a terminal, wherein the types of the multi-media programs include at least one of film and television programs, songs, games and recorded videos, and the request for the multi-media programs comprises program key words at least in one type of Chinese characters, letters and numbers; and searching the multi-media programs matched with the program key words from a data source corresponding to the types of the program key words, and sending the searched multi-media programs matched with the program key words to a display device of the terminal. By means of the method and device for searching the multi-media programs, flexibility and searching efficiency of a system are improved, and user experience is further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a multimedia program retrieval method and device. Background technique [0002] Under the background of the integration strategy of the three networks (telecom network, computer network and cable TV network), Interactive Personality TV (Interactive Personality TV, referred to as IPTV) provides users with high-quality digital media services through the IP network. Compared with the previous cable TV, users no longer passively receive programs, but can choose to play their favorite programs. At the same time, IPTV also provides users with various types of interactive programs, such as interactive games and video conferences. [0003] The implementation of IPTV mainly uses TV and set-top box as terminal equipment, combined with background server to provide media services. At present, one of the main services of the IPTV system is to provide video program on-demand services, and the progr...
