Embodiment 1

[0050] see figure 1 A schematic diagram of the application scenario provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention is shown. The application scenario of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a set-top box and a shared server. When the set-top box receives the request information of the TV program data input by the user, it sends the request information to Shared server, the shared server obtains the TV program data requested by the set-top box from the local search according to the request, and sends the TV program data to the set-top box, wherein the shared server stores the TV program information of many set-top boxes in one area, such as the program name or frequency table information, and maintain communication with multiple program provider servers.

[0051] The method implemented on the STB side is as follows, see figure 2 A flow chart showing the implementation of the TV program search method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention is describe...

Embodiment 2

[0065] The application scenario of this embodiment is the same as the application scenario of Embodiment 1. This embodiment is a method of sharing the server side. image 3 A flow chart showing the implementation of the television program search method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention is described in detail as follows:

[0066] In S301, receiving the TV program data request sent by the set-top box;

[0067] In S302, according to the TV program data request, locally search and acquire the TV program data;

[0068] In this embodiment, the shared server can store TV program data through a distributed physical memory array, so that more data can be processed.

[0069] In S303, send the TV program data to a set-top box.

[0070] In this embodiment, the server can also be used to receive updated TV program information provided by the TV program provider, such as program name or frequency point information, and send the updated TV program information to the set-top...

Embodiment 3

[0074] The application scenario of this embodiment is the same as the application scenario of Embodiment 1. This embodiment is a method of sharing the server side. Figure 4 A flow chart showing the implementation of the television program search method provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention is described in detail as follows:

[0075] In S401, receiving the TV program data request sent by the set-top box;

[0076] In S402, according to the TV program data request, the local search obtains the TV program data, when the local search obtains the TV program data, then execute S403, and when the local search fails to obtain the TV program data, then execute S405.

[0077] In S403, it is judged whether the TV program data is the latest TV program data released by the program operator, if yes, execute S404, and if not, execute S405.

[0078] In this embodiment, it is judged whether the TV program data stored in the sharing server is newer than the TV program data (includ...

Abstract

The invention applies to the technical field of digital television and provides a television program searching method, an STB (Set Top Box) and a shared server. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a television program data request which is inputted by a user; sending the television program data request to the shared server; and receiving the television program data obtained by the shared server through searching according to the television program data request. The television program searching method, the STB and the shared server enable STB users to be free of participating the television program searching process. As long as the STB is connected to the net and a signal line, the STB can lock the frequency and search channels in no need of locking the frequency and searching the channels by the users, and program names and frequency tables can be updated in the fastest way in real time, and programs can be managed, thereby improving the working efficiency of the STB.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of digital television, and in particular relates to a television program search method, a set-top box and a shared server. Background technique [0002] With the popularization and development of terminal technology and network technology, as a media terminal, the set-top box must not only meet the market demand in terms of networking, interactivity, and intelligent trends, but also overcome the unlimited expansion of individual needs and the hardware processing capacity of the set-top box. For this reason, various set-top box manufacturers are also actively seeking various improvements. For example, set-top boxes can integrate functions such as web browsing and streaming media playback. [0003] However, the main functions of the set-top box in the prior art are still functions such as searching programs, managing programs and playing programs. For the traditional satellite set-top box TV program search met...
