Method, device and system for controlling multimedia data playing of set-top box

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention disclose a method, a device and a system for controlling multimedia data playing of a set-top box, and relate to the field of digital communication. The method, the device and the system are used to manage and control custom multimedia data intercut by a set-top box without affecting the playing of non-custom multimedia data. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a preset user identity corresponding to a set-top box; extracting and storing custom multimedia data matching the user identity according to the user identity; and when a preset playing time is up, making the set-top box intercut the stored custom multimedia data according to preset playing rules, wherein the custom multimedia data is extracted from a collection of custom multimedia data carried in a signal flow issued by a head-end server or extracted from a collection of custom multimedia data preset in a temporary cache region of the set-top box. The problems in the prior art are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of digital communication, in particular to a method, device and system for controlling a set-top box to play multimedia data. Background technique [0002] With the development of digital technology, users' demand for product customization is getting higher and higher. At present, digital set-top boxes (also referred to simply as set-top boxes) are widely used in hotels or other public places. Different hotels or customers have different customization requirements for the boot-up video, boot-up image or inserted video implanted through the set-top box. Therefore, In the development process of the set-top box, it is necessary to develop the firmware of the general version of the whole network according to the regulations of the broadcasting and television operators before leaving the factory, and burn it into the single-chip microcomputer inside the set-top box; then, after the customer provides the video or After ima...

Problems solved by technology

However, since the whole network data is delivered in the form of broadcast, it cannot be customized and broadcasted individually. Therefore, once the whole network is upgraded, the customized implanted video or image will also be cleared. Therefore, once the set-top box is upgraded on the whole network, It is necessary to re-burn the customized version of the firmware into the single-chip microcomputer inside the set-top box. It can be seen that the management and maintenance methods of the set-top box in the prior art are more cumbersome, and customized services cannot be realized.
