Embodiment Construction

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] The existing IPTV system adopts the BS architecture, and the browser is the core on the set-top box side. Therefore, this architecture cannot be changed when realizing the video call service, and the hardware capability of the set-top box is relatively limited. Based on the above premise, the inventor set a multi-window set-top box browser in the IPTV set-top box, and controlled the use of the video call service, the display of the service state, and the interaction with other services by adding a defined script to the WEB page displayed in the browser. Between the business logic control and other functions.

[0027] Such as figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic structural diagram of a set-top box browser applying the embodiment of the IPTV video call control method of the present invention. The set-top box bro...

Abstract

The invention relates to an internet protocol television (IPTV) video call control method which comprises the steps that an IPTV set top box receives an operational order input from external and judges whether the operational order is an operational order for a video call service shortcut operational command, a video call window is built in a set top box browser through a window manager if the operational order is the operational order for the video call service shortcut operational command, during building of the video call window, service and service engines which correspond to current service windows are paused, the current service windows are hidden, window statuses of the current service windows and relations among windows are recorded, the operational order received by the video call window informs a video call client-side, a video call request is initiated to a called party according to the received operational order, a received request response informs the set top box browser in an event mode, and the set top box browser informs a page through the event to display the request response. The IPTV video call control method integrates a value added service and a basic service of IPTV video calls and is capable of achieving a smooth handover between services.
