A method, system and storage device for realizing remote control of set-top box

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for realizing remote control of a set top box, and a storage device. The method comprises the steps that: a server receives a request for remotely controlling a client side and sent by a mobile terminal; the server judges whether the mobile terminal passes authentication or not; if the mobile terminal passes authentication, the server simulates the operation interface of the client side, and sends the operation interface of the client side to the mobile terminal; the server analyzes a control instruction of the mobile terminal on the operation interface, and sends the control instruction to the client side; and the client side executes the control instruction. According to the method and system for realizing remote control of the set top box, and the storage device disclosed by the invention, the set top box in the client side is remotely controlled through the mobile terminal; therefore, proper television programmes can be provided for special crowds; and the remote control function in a unilateral network is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of remote control, in particular to a method, system and storage device for realizing remote control of a set-top box. Background technique [0002] A digital video conversion box (Set Top Box, referred to as STB), usually called a set-top box or a set-top box, is a device that connects a TV to an external signal source. It can convert compressed digital signals into TV content and display it on the TV. Come out, the signal can come from cable, satellite antenna, broadband network and terrestrial broadcasting. The content received by the set-top box is not only the image and sound that analog TV can provide, but also the ability to receive digital content, including electronic program guides, Internet pages, subtitles, etc. etc., so that users can watch digital TV programs on existing TV sets, and carry out interactive digital entertainment, education and commercialization activities through the network. ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the elderly and children who are not familiar with the operation or control of set-top boxes have special needs for set-top box programs. If the person they ask for help is not around, it is often difficult for the person asking for help to provide them with effective and fast help at this time.

[0004] At present, remote control in the network has become more popular, but the current set-top box network is mostly a one-way network (normal network transmission is two-way transmission, which is equivalent to dialogue, one question and one answer, but some networks do not have two-way functions, such as cable TV networks , the data in this network is the data sent by the server, the client can only receive but not send messages to the server, this network transmission mode becomes a one-way transmission mode, that is, one-way network), so remote interactive control cannot be applied in the one-way field
