Abstract

The invention relates to a set top box program payment method and a system. A payment descriptor is added to the program EPG information, the payment descriptor is acquired by a set top box, a two-dimensional payment code is generated, payment can be accomplished by a user through only reading the two-dimensional payment code by utilizing a mobile terminal, payment cooperation can be realized without a CA card or a CA system, so no huge maintenance cost is generated during expanding the payment function, the user has no need to re-purchase the set top box, payment can be realized with the set top box without the CA function, fee-based programs can be watched, the system is quite convenient for the user to watch, and user experience is great.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of digital television, in particular to a set-top box program payment method and system. Background technique [0002] With the development of digital TV technology, the system of the set-top box is getting bigger and bigger, and the functions are getting richer. Operators have more and more programs, which makes the management more and more complicated. Many programs need to be paid for viewing, and even Different time periods of the same program may require paid purchases. [0003] At present, the program payment still uses the traditional CA card and the front-end CA system of the operator to pay for the paid program to control whether the user has the right to watch the paid program. In this traditional payment method, if the operator wants to expand the program charging function, the set-top box product must be updated, which will generate a large amount of maintenance costs and the cost of repurchasing the set-...
