Problems solved by technology

[0006] Due to the limited energy of the infrared carrier, generally the signal transmission can only be carried out within the effective range of about 10 meters, and the control distance is short
[0007] 2. Limited usage scenarios
[0009] 3. Manufacturers need to additionally produce remote control transmitter hardware
[0010] In order to build a control system, manufacturers need to produce remote control hardware, which increases production costs
[0011] 4. Users need additional storage and carry transmitter hardware
[0013] 5. Not economical and environmentally friendly enough
[0018] 2. Harsh conditions of use
[0019] 2.1 It is required that the controlled terminal equipment such as TV or TV set-top box must be in the same wireless local area network as the control terminal equipment, which creates a certain operating threshold for users;
[0020] 2.2 The user is required to install the application program developed by the manufacturer to complete the control task on his control device;
[0021] 3. There are strict requirements on the control terminal equipment, and it is difficult to guarantee that any device used by the user can complete the control; the control terminal equipment must support the application program provided by the manufacturer. For example, the mobile phone of the user using the iOS operating system will not be able to use the manufacturer as Android. The control terminal application program developed by the operating system;
[0022] 4. High manufacturing cost
[0024] 5. The use distance is limited
[0025] Due to the use of wireless local area network WIFI technology, the control distance achieved by this technical solution cannot exceed the distance covered by wireless local area network technology (generally no more than 100 meters)

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method and device for wireless control over a network television terminal. The method includes the steps that a selection instruction of a specified function is received; according to the selection instruction, pairing information is generated; address identification of the network television terminal is obtained; the pairing information and the address identification are sent to a server; a control instruction sent by the server is received in a responding mode. According to the embodiment, the characteristic that a network television or a network television set top box is naturally kept being connected with a network can be effectively utilized, and a connecting relation and a controlling relation are established between a networking device and the network television or the television set top box with a web page as a medium.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the technical field of IPTV, and in particular to a method for wirelessly controlling an IPTV terminal, an IPTV terminal, a networking device, a server and a device. Background technique [0002] With the advent of the Internet age, Internet TV and Internet TV set-top boxes have emerged as the times require. Their appearance has brought a brand-new TV viewing method to people, changed the previous passive TV viewing mode, and realized TV based on the Internet. A convenient way to watch and stop as you go. [0003] At present, in the Internet TV and Internet TV set-top box industry, the infrared remote control system (IR Remote Control) is mainly used for wireless control through infrared signal carrier to realize remote control of TV or set-top box equipment. The infrared remote control system generally includes two parts: Transmitting unit and receiving unit. The main component of the transmitting u...
