Set top box file sharing method and system

Abstract

The invention provides a set top box file sharing method and system which are suitable for the technical field of set top boxes. The set top box file sharing method comprises the steps of enabling a first set top box to upload a file identification of a shared file and a first set top box identification to a server, enabling the server to store the corresponding relation between the file identification and the first set top box identification which are uploaded by the first set top box, when the server receives a file obtaining request which contains a second set top box identification and a file identification and is sent by a second set top box, enabling the server to obtain the first set top box identification corresponding to the file obtaining request according to the corresponding relation between the file identification and the first set top box identification, enabling the server to send the file obtaining request to the first set top box corresponding to the first set top box identification, and enabling the first set top box to transmit a file corresponding to the file identification in the file obtaining request to the second set top box according to the file obtaining request. According to the set top box file sharing method and system, the file is not required to be uploaded to and stored in the server, the file is directly obtained from the set top box terminal, and therefore the data pressure of the server is relieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of set-top boxes, and in particular relates to a set-top box file sharing method and system.
