Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Such as figure 1 As shown, it is the processing flow chart of the set-top box after receiving the data. After the set-top box receives the external program EPG information, it starts to check whether it is connected to the smart TV. If the connection is successful, it will transmit the program EPG information to the smart TV through the data cable. TV, the smart TV checks and analyzes the data, stores the data in the smart TV after the data is received, and produces an application icon on the display of the smart TV at the same time, and the icon can be controlled by external commands.

[0018] Such as figure 2 As shown, when the application icon appears on the display of the smart TV, the TV program can be selected through the remote control. Click the icon, and the display will display all previously stored program EPG information. Through various operation...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling an STB through a smart TV. The STB and the smart TV are connected through a data line, the STB transmits program information to the smart TV through the data line, the smart TV keeps the information, and a program list of the smart TV is controlled through a remote control to complete control of the STB. According to the method, the remote control is used for controlling the smart TV and the STB simultaneously, resources are integrated, the cost is saved, and the usage is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control method, in particular to a method for controlling a set-top box through a smart TV. Background technique [0002] The use of traditional set-top boxes is generally controlled and practical separately from the TV. The display of the TV is used as the display screen of the content of the set-top box, and is connected through an AV interface or an HDMI interface. When completing the operation of the set-top box, you need to use the infrared remote control that matches the set-top box itself, and at the same time, you need to use the remote control that matches the TV to control the TV, and you need two remote controls to complete the entire TV signal. play. Compared with users, the two remote controllers are practical, inconvenient to operate, and inconvenient to keep; for equipment manufacturers, the two remote controllers obviously increase the production cost and waste resources. Contents of the invention [0003]...
