Embodiment 1

[0063] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an EPG page playback control method, including:

[0064] S1. Make TS streams according to the layout of the components of each EPG page. Each EPG page presented on the screen needs to correspond to a separate TS stream, and each TS stream contains a navigation information table;

[0065] The EPG system needs to make the TS code stream of the graphic channel according to the layout of each interface component in advance. These individual TS streams may only contain video information but not audio information, and the video information content may also only contain all the component elements corresponding to the EPG interface. The characteristic values ​​of the video information resolution size, encoding format, code rate, frame rate and the number of bytes of the finally generated code stream in the code stream can be flexibly configured in the background of the server according to actual needs.

[0066] Each EPG page p...

Embodiment 2

[0084] The embodiment of the present invention describes the navigation information table in detail. The EPG interface navigation information table provides the coordinates, sizes, and link configuration information of each component element in the currently displayed EPG page. "Navigation information" is defined as a set of descriptions of a set of page components, and may span different networks. Table 1 is a semantic description of an implementation of the navigation information table of the present invention. Of course, for those skilled in the art, based on the enlightenment of this table, there are other semantic descriptions for implementation, which will not be repeated here.

[0086]

[0087]

[0088] Specifically, the definition of each field in the navigation information table is described as follows:

[0089] The table identifier table_id: 0x80, and the table_id of all navigation information table seg...

Embodiment 3

[0104] The embodiment of the present invention provides an EPG page playback control method, including:

[0105] The terminal is powered on and the IPTV platform authentication is started.

[0106] After the STB passes the platform authentication, the authentication platform issues the streaming media address of the EPG homepage.

[0107] The set-top box tries to use the streaming media address to play the video, and parses the component element description information in the navigation information table in the TS stream.

[0108] After the set-top box successfully plays the streaming video, it draws the highlighted focus icon of the default component on the OSD layer according to the description information of the first component element in the parsed navigation information table.

[0109] When the set-top box receives the user's focus movement on the current EPG interface through the remote control buttons, the set-top box first destroys the highlighted focus icon currently displayed ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an EPG page playing control method, which comprises the following steps of: making TS according to a component typesetting layout of each EPG page, and containing a navigationinformation table in each TS; enabling a set top box to play the TS, display an EPG interface, and analyze the navigation information table contained in the TS to obtain the coordinate value of each component in the EPG interface, the size of the component and the playing address of the component needing link skipping; enabling the set top box to draw a highlight focus icon of a default componenton an OSD layer according to parameter information obtained by analyzing the navigation information table; enabling the set top box to receive a control operation of a user, and realize dynamic drawing of an EPG interface focus icon according to parameter information obtained by analyzing the navigation information table; and enabling the set top box to receive the page switching operation of theuser to skip the EPG page. The problem that the special effect display of the EPG interface needs to be supported by a specific browser version is solved, and the EPG content can be displayed only bydecoding and playing the TS by the set top box terminal. The invention also provides a corresponding set top box.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of media playback terminals, and more specifically, relates to an EPG page playback control method and a set-top box. Background technique [0002] The index and navigation of various services provided by the IPTV set-top box are all completed through the EPG (Electrical Program Guide, electronic program guide) system. EPG is actually a portal system of IPTV (Interactive Personality TV). The interface of the EPG system is similar to the WEB page: the EPG interface provides various menus, buttons, links, etc. for users to directly click when selecting different programs The components include all kinds of dynamic or static multimedia content. At present, EPG mainly adopts the B / S (Browser / Server) architecture, and various resources are deployed on the server side, and the terminal requests various EPG resources on the server side through HTTP. The set-top box renders and displays the EPG interface through a buil...
