Embodiment 1

[0024] A method for realizing a dynamic menu of a low-profile digital TV set-top box, comprising the following steps:

[0025] Step 1, designing the picture material corresponding to each menu, each said picture material is a static picture or a dynamic picture;

[0026] Step 2. Use picture materials to complete the menu interface;

[0027] Step 3, convert the dynamic picture in the picture material into array data by the picture conversion tool and store it in the set-top box software; one group of array data corresponding to the dynamic picture; the picture conversion tool can be: convert the picture into hexadecimal The bin2txt_v2 tool to control data;

[0028] Step 4, when the set-top box is turned on, the set-top box software allocates a piece of memory space, and the memory space is used for decoding of dynamic pictures; in the described step 4, the size of the allocated memory space is determined by the maximum dynamic picture size in the picture material, for example ...

Embodiment 2

[0032] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the selected menu is highlighted to make it more prominent, so that the user can be more clear about the currently pointed menu.

[0033] The specific implementation method is: in step 5, the menu selected by the user is displayed in a highlighted manner, while the unselected menu is displayed in a non-highlighted manner, and when the menu selected by the user is a dynamic picture, the memory space is initialized and calling a dynamic picture decoding function to decode the array data corresponding to the selected dynamic picture, so as to display the dynamic picture to be selected.

Embodiment 3

[0035] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the menu contains a LOGO (the Chinese name is: logo or trademark, and the logo of the image can make consumers remember the main body and brand culture of the company).

[0036] The specific implementation is: in the step 1, the menu includes a LOGO, and the picture material corresponding to the LOGO is a dynamic picture.

[0037] When the user does not select any menu of the LOGO or the selected menu is a static picture, the LOGO remains dynamically displayed, and the step 5 is specifically:

[0038] When the menu selected by the user is a dynamic picture, initialize the memory space, call the dynamic picture decoding function to decode the array data corresponding to the selected dynamic picture, so as to display the dynamic picture that needs to be selected;

[0039] When the menu selected by the user is a static picture, the memory space is initialized, and the dynamic picture decoding function ...

Abstract

The invention provides a realization method of dynamic menus of a low-configuration digital television set top box. The method comprises the steps that 1, picture materials corresponding to the menus are designed; 2, a menu interface is completed by using the picture materials; 3, dynamic pictures in the picture materials are converted into array data by a conversion tool and stored in set top box software; 4, when the set top box is started, the set top box software allocates an internal memory space used for decoding the dynamic pictures; 5, when the menus selected by a user are the dynamic pictures, the internal memory space is initialized, a dynamic picture decoding function is called to decode the array data corresponding to the selected dynamic pictures, and then the selected dynamic pictures are displayed; and 6, when the user switches the menus, switching of the dynamically displayed dynamic pictures is stopped and Step 5 is performed. The method solves the problem that the user cannot define the current pointed menu due to the simple and single menu of the existing low-configuration set top box.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of digital television, in particular to a method for realizing a dynamic menu of a low-profile digital television set-top box. 【Background technique】 [0002] With the popularization of digital TV sets, TV set-top boxes are gradually becoming popular. There are various types of set-top boxes on the market, and the product prices are mainly divided into high-end and low-end. The so-called high-end is high-end, and its DDR memory is generally above 128M, and the price is relatively high. Generally, the currently pointed menu is displayed in a dynamic manner, which enables the user to distinguish the selected menu more clearly. Low-end set-top boxes, that is, low-configuration, generally have DDR memory below 64MB. Low-end set-top boxes are not only cheap, but also have fewer functions. The menus and other methods are relatively simple and single. Specifies which menu is currently selected. Since the size of the DDR...
