Method for inputting characters into intelligent set top box through mobile terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for inputting characters into an intelligent set top box through a mobile terminal. The method comprises the following steps that the intelligent terminal is bounded and connected with the intelligent set top box through a wireless network, the same-screen service and the remote controller input method service are started at the same time, and a text input interface of the set top box is displayed at the intelligent terminal through the same-screen service; a user clicks an interface text input box at the intelligent terminal and the intelligent terminal sends a click event to the set top box; the set top box responds to the click event and sends a remote controller input method request to the intelligent terminal; the intelligent terminal responds to the request and calls the input method from the intelligent terminal to input characters; the input characters and the cursor position information are sent to the set top box through the remote controller input method service; the set top box receives the characters and the cursor position information, the characters and the cursor position information are displayed in the text input box, and then the characters are input to the set top box. According to the method, the user uses the intelligent terminal to input the characters into the set top box through software, the input function is enhanced, and remote control is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an intelligent set-top box, in particular to a method for inputting characters to the intelligent set-top box by using an intelligent terminal. Background technique [0002] With the development of "triple play", set-top boxes have developed from traditional standard-definition and high-definition set-top boxes to intelligent set-top boxes. Smart set-top boxes are no longer limited to watching traditional TV programs, and can even browse Internet information, share and watch audio and video content directly on the TV. [0003] However, due to size limitations, the remote control of a traditional smart set-top box usually only has a numeric keypad and can only input numbers from 0 to 9. To input complex characters, it is necessary to pop up a virtual input method on the screen of the set-top box and move the cursor through the remote control.

[0003] However, due to size limitations, the remote control of a traditional smart set-top box usually only has a numeric keypad and can only input numbers from 0 to 9. To input complex characters, it is necessary to pop up a virtual input method on the screen of the set-top box and move the cursor through the remote control. To select a character for input, often in order to input a character, the remote control needs to move the cursor many times, and it is more complicated to input a character string or Chinese characters. When users experience web surfing, information editing, and entertainment on the smart set-top box, this input method It has been unable to provide users with good interaction and experience, seriously affecting the use of smart set-top boxes by users
