Automatic shutdown method using video monitoring

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic shutdown method using video monitoring. A device used for the automatic shutdown method using the video monitoring comprises a video image acquiring unit used for obtaining image information of ambient environment, a video image data processing unit used for performing digital processing on acquired video images and generating decision judgment data, and an analytical judgment and control unit used for judging whether automatic shutdown conditions exist or not and transmitting a shutdown instruction or a standby instruction. The analytical judgment and control unit automatically starts video image acquiring and data processing through a timer in due time, and through analysis of processed results and other information, the analytical judgment and control unit transmits the shutdown instruction or stops the video image acquiring or the data processing in due time. The automatic shutdown method using the video monitoring can be applied to TV sets or set top boxes or other audio-and-video playing devices, the functions of acquiring video images and processing data are added on the basis of traditional playing devices, when the situation that the playing devices are not used for a long time is monitored, standby or shutdown action is performed on the TV sets or the set top box devices, and the automatic shutdown method using the video monitoring is not only energy-saving and environment-friendly, but also favorable for prolonging service life of electric appliances.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a television set and a set-top box, in particular to a method for automatically shutting down the television using video monitoring. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of society, many elderly people currently live relatively lonely lives, spending more and more time watching TV every day, and sleepy elderly people often fall asleep while watching TV; due to the increasing work intensity in modern society, Many young users often fall asleep inadvertently while lying in bed watching TV; due to various external reasons, the TV and set-top box may automatically turn on, all of which may cause the TV and set-top box to work for a long time and no one appreciates it. [0003] Since televisions and set-top boxes are high power consumption devices, the above phenomenon will not only cause waste of electric energy, but also challenge the service life of electrical appliances. At present, although the TV and ...

[0002] With the continuous development of society, many elderly people currently live relatively lonely lives, spending more and more time watching TV every day, and sleepy elderly people often fall asleep while watching TV; due to the increasing work intensity in modern society, Many young users often fall asleep inadvertently while lying in bed watching TV; due to various external reasons, the TV and set-top box may turn on automatically

[0003] Since TVs and set-top boxes are high-power-consuming devices, the above phenomenon will not only cause waste of electric energy, but also pose a challenge to the service life of electrical appliances.

At present, although the TV and the set-top box have a timer automatic shutdown function, they need to be set every time they are turned on, the operation is cumbersome, and the practicability is poor; the patent application number 201020266851.8 proposes a sleep monitoring for detecting human biological signals function of the automatic shutdown device, the applicability has not yet been verified
