Digital TV set-top box turning-on method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses a digital TV set-top box turning-on method and system. According to the digital TV set-top box turning-on method and system, a set-top box is turned on to achieve initialization of the set-top box firstly, a configuration file is broadcast to a specified channel point and service by a data alternating broadcasting server at the front end, updating of the configuration file is checked by a data alternating broadcasting receiving module, turning-on audio and video data are received by a digital TV receiving module according to the configuration file, audio and video content is displayed through an audio and video display output module, turning-on homepage WEB page data and picture file data are downloaded by an interactive data receiving module and the data alternating broadcasting receiving module, and an audio and video output module stops outputting the turning-on audio and video data and starts to output turning-on homepage images and image files after the turning-on homepage WEB page data and picture file data are downloaded. The digital TV set-top box turning-on method and system has the advantages that the resources of broadcasting channels and interactive channels are fully utilized in the turning-on process of the set-top box, the turning-on efficiency is improved, and two kinds of data are downloaded in parallel within the period during which the turning-on audio and video content is displayed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of interactive digital TV set-top boxes in digital TVs, in particular to an improved digital TV set-top box start-up method and system. Background technique [0002] The interactive digital TV set-top box is a conversion device that converts digital TV signals into analog signals. It decodes and restores digitally compressed image and sound signals into signals that can be played and displayed by ordinary TV sets, and has interactive network functions. The current digital TV set-top box has become an embedded computing device with a complete real-time operating system and powerful CPU computing power, which is used to coordinate and control various hardware facilities of the set-top box and provide various new functions such as interactive network. [0003] At present, the common startup process of interactive digital TV set-top boxes is generally as follows: [0004] Method 1: The start-up audio and video ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. The start-up process does not include the start-up audio and video content, and lacks the function of displaying the start-up audio and video content;

[0006] 2. Failure to make full use of the broadcast channel resources of the set-top box and the data carousel receiving module;

[0007] 3. The boot audio and video content display, the boot home page data download and the picture file data download process are carried out sequentially, and the boot time is long and the efficiency is low;

[0008] 4. Both the home page data and picture file data are downloaded by two-way channels, even if the parallel download is limited by the overall rate of the two-way channels, it will affect the start-up time

[0010] 1. The broadcast channel resources of the set-top box and the data carousel receiving module are not fully and rationally utilized;

[0011] 2. The display of audio and video content at startup, the downloading of homepage data at startup and the downloading of picture file data are carried out sequentially, and the startup time is long and the efficiency is low;

[0012] 3. Both the home page data and picture file data are downloaded by two-way channels, even if the parallel download is limited by the overall rate of the two-way channels, it will affect the start-up time

[0014] 1. The two operations of receiving the startup home page data and related picture file data occupy the two-way channel resources at the same time. Due to the limited bandwidth of the two-way channel, the download speed of both data will be slow and the efficiency will be low

[0015] 2. Failure to make full use of the broadcast channel resources of the set-top box and the data carousel receiving module;
