Geographic position obtaining method and device

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a geographic position obtaining method and relates to the field of communication. The method comprises the steps of sending a first message for establishing connection with a network access server to the network access server; receiving a second message fed back by the network access server and obtaining a target position code carried in the second message; obtaining configuration information corresponding to the target position code according a pre-stored corresponding relationship between the configuration information and the position code, wherein the configuration information at least comprises an address of a business server; and accessing the business server according to the address of the business server. According to the method, the problem that the convenience is low in a mode of artificially selecting the business server for a set top box is solved; and the effect of automatically selecting the business server by the set top box and improving the convenience is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and device for acquiring a geographic location. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of information technology and the Internet, the Internet TV (English: Internet Protocol Television, referred to as: IPTV) industry continues to expand in the domestic market, and the set-top box plays an extremely important role as an IPTV terminal device. [0003] Since different cities may have different service servers providing corresponding services for the set-top box, after the user starts the set-top box, it is necessary to manually select the service server of the set-top box according to the geographic location of the set-top box. [0004] But usually the user does not know the corresponding relationship between the geographic location of the set-top box and the service server, so it is often necessary for the installer to come to the door to select the ser...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] In the geographic location acquisition method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal obtains the target location code corresponding to the geographic location where the terminal is located from the network access server, and obtains the corresponding target location code according to the corresponding relationship between the pre-stored configuration information and the location code. According to the configuration information of the configuration information, access to the service server according to the address of the service server carried in the configuration information, because the terminal can automatically access the service server corresponding to the target location code according to the target location code, which solves the problem of manually selecting the service server for the set-top box. The problem of poor performance; achieved the effect that the set-top box automatically selects the service server and improves the convenience
