Embodiment 1

[0039] In order to better understand the present invention, this embodiment first explains several terms.

[0040] The home network in this embodiment refers to a network composed of IPTV terminal devices connected to an IPTV server through a home gateway in a family. See figure 1 as shown, figure 1 STB set-top box 1, STB set-top box 2, master DVR set-top box, other independent DVR set-top boxes n and mobile terminals represented by mobile phones constitute the home network in this embodiment through the home gateway connected to the IPTV server. Each of the above-mentioned terminals is an IPTV terminal device in the home network.

[0041] Please refer to figure 2 As shown, the bandwidth control method of the home network in this embodiment includes:

[0042] Step 201: setting a bandwidth usage list containing the current bandwidth usage information of the home network on the IPTV terminal device of the home network;

[0043] Step 202: After receiving the first bandwidth...

Embodiment 2

[0068] This embodiment discloses a kind of IPTV terminal equipment, and this IPTV terminal equipment can be STB set-top box, DVR set-top box or mobile terminal; Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, it includes: a resource application module, a resource management module, an information sending module and an information receiving module; wherein,

[0069] The resource application module is used to send a bandwidth application request to the resource management module before opening the IPTV service that needs to occupy the bandwidth, and the bandwidth application request includes the required bandwidth of the IPTV service;

[0070] The resource management module is used to set the bandwidth usage list, the bandwidth usage list contains the usage information of the current bandwidth of the home network to which the IPTV terminal device belongs; and after receiving the bandwidth application request, judge the current remaining bandwidth of the home network according to the bandwidt...

Embodiment 3

[0082] In order to better understand the present invention, the present application will be further described below by taking a specific home network as an example.

[0083] See Figure 7 As shown, the home network in this embodiment includes a master DVR set-top box (DVR HUB), an independent DVR set-top box (Non DVR, referred to here as a slave DVR set-top box) and a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone. The master DVR set-top box is the master terminal device in the home network; the slave DVR set-top box and the mobile terminal are slave devices. Both the main DVR set-top box and the slave DVR set-top box have IPTV components and DVR components, and each functional module (collectively referred to as a bandwidth conflict management module) for recording management and realizing bandwidth resource management shown in Embodiment 2 is provided in the DVR component; Playing / recording module: There is a UI browsing program information / push / video playing module in the mobile ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a bandwidth control method, an IPTV terminal device and a communication system, and dynamically maintains a bandwidth usage list of home network bandwidth resource usage on the IPTV terminal device of the home network; before the IPTV terminal device starts an IPTV service that requires bandwidth, Obtain the bandwidth required by the IPTV service; calculate the current remaining bandwidth of the home network according to the locally maintained bandwidth usage list and determine whether the bandwidth required by the IPTV service is satisfied, if so, the bandwidth application for the IPTV service is successful, and the service can be started ; At the same time, the IPTV terminal updates the bandwidth usage list, and sends a first bandwidth update notification for notifying the same update to other IPTV terminal devices in the home network. Therefore, when an IPTV terminal in a home network needs to start an IPTV service that occupies bandwidth, it can first apply for bandwidth locally, and only start the service when the application is successful, thus avoiding bandwidth resource conflicts to a large extent.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a bandwidth control method, an IPTV terminal device and a communication system. Background technique [0002] IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is a system that uses broadband network as a medium to transmit TV information. It integrates Internet, multimedia, communication and other technologies, and provides home users with services including live video, recording, on-demand, information browsing, online games, New technologies for interactive services such as voice communication, distance education, telemedicine, and e-commerce. A set-top box is an IPTV terminal device placed in a user's home. The set-top box is connected to the network through ADSL or LAN, and the user side is connected to the TV set, and has standardized universal input and output interfaces. Support two-way symmetrical or asymmetrical communication services. It undertakes the forwarding of information ...
