Abstract

The invention discloses a method and apparatus for a set top box to read an external connection storage device. The method comprises: the set top box receiving a multimedia application starting command input by a user, wherein the set top box is connected with the external connection storage device; the set top box reading a database which is corresponding to the external connection storage device and is stored in a data buffer area, wherein the database corresponding to the external connection storage device comprises file information of a multimedia file in the external connection storage device, and the file information comprises the path and name of the multimedia file; the set top box outputting the file information to a television; the set top box receiving a multimedia file play command input by the user; and the set top box controling the television to play the multimedia file specified by the multimedia file play command. By using the method and apparatus, the speed of the set top box in reading the multimedia file of the external connection storage device is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of smart TVs, in particular to a method and device for a set-top box to read an external storage device. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology, smart set-top boxes have gradually entered the home. People can connect mobile storage devices to the set-top box, watch video programs, browse photos, listen to music, etc. through high-definition TV, and enjoy the visual impact brought by the large screen and high-definition. The current common solution to display the multimedia files on the mobile storage device on the TV is: after the mobile storage device is inserted into the set-top box, when the user needs to browse or play multimedia files, the set-top box traverses all the files of the mobile storage device and records all multimedia files, and then output to the TV screen. [0003] In the prior art, when multimedia files are displayed on the TV through a set-top box, the traversal of the m...
