Embodiment 1

[0063] like figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a kind of EPG page playing control method, comprising:

[0064] S1. Make a TS stream according to the component layout layout 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 prepare the TS code stream of the graphic channel according to the component layout of each interface in advance. These individual TS streams may only contain video information but not audio information, and the content of video information may also only contain all component elements corresponding to the EPG interface. The video information resolution size, encoding format, bit rate, frame rate and other characteristic values ​​in the code stream, as well as the number of bytes of the finally generated code stream, can be flexibly configured in the background of the server according to actual needs. ...

Embodiment 2

[0084] The embodiment of the present invention describes the navigation information table in detail, and the EPG interface navigation information table provides coordinates, dimensions and link configuration information of each component element in the currently displayed EPG page. "Navigation information" is defined as a collection of descriptions for 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 inspiration of this table, there are other implementation semantic descriptions, which will not be repeated here.

[0085] Table 1 Semantic description of navigation information table

[0086]

[0087]

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

[0089] Table identifier table_id: 0x80, the table_id of all navigation information table se...

Embodiment 3

[0104] The embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of EPG page playing control method, comprising:

[0105] Power on the terminal and start IPTV platform authentication.

[0106] After the set-top box passes the platform authentication, the authentication platform issues the streaming address of the EPG home page.

[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 first component element description information 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 button, the set-top box first destroys the highlighted focus icon currently displayed o...

Abstract

The invention discloses an EPG page playback control method, comprising: making TS streams according to the component typesetting layout of each EPG page, and each TS stream contains a navigation information table; a set-top box plays the TS stream and displays an EPG interface, and parses the TS stream The navigation information table contained in the TS stream obtains the coordinate value of each component in the EPG interface, the size of the component, and the playback address where the component needs to be linked and jumped; the set-top box draws the default component on the OSD layer according to the parameter information obtained by parsing the navigation information table. Highlight the focus icon; the set-top box receives the user's control operation, and realizes the dynamic drawing of the focus icon on the EPG interface according to the parameter information obtained by parsing the navigation information table; the set-top box receives the user's page switching operation to jump the EPG page. To solve the problem that the special effect display of the EPG interface requires the support of a specific browser version, the set-top box terminal only needs to decode and play the TS stream to display the EPG content. The invention also provides a corresponding set-top box.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of media playing terminals, and more specifically relates to an EPG page playing control method and a set-top box. Background technique [0002] Various service indexing and navigation provided by the IPTV set-top box are completed through an EPG (Electrical Program Guide, Electronic Program Guide) system. EPG is actually a portal system for IPTV (Interactive Personality TV). The interface of the EPG system is similar to that of the WEB page: the EPG interface provides various menus, buttons, links, etc. for users to directly click when selecting different programs. Components, including various dynamic or static multimedia content. At present, EPG mainly adopts B / S (Browser / Server) architecture, and various resources are deployed on the server side, and terminals request various EPG resources on the server side through HTTP. The set-top box renders and displays the EPG interface through the built-in brows...
