Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the prior art, in order to control the viewing of IPTV programs, the IPTV system usually sets a password for the program, or classifies the program, and realizes the corresponding access authority of the user to the program according to the password or program level, and restricts some home users. (such as children's) access, this method requires the support of the content platform, operation platform, etc. in the system platform
In the digital TV system, it is also possible to control access to programs in the client, such as STB, by using the "permit / prohibit" method for certain program channels, thereby restricting home users' access to programs. This control is actually through whether It is realized by allowing the physical frequency band where the program is received, and cannot be used in an IPTV system based on IP technology, nor can it flexibly control the viewing time
[0006] As mentioned above, in the prior art, the control of TV program viewing is achieved by setting passwords for the programs or grading the programs, which requires the support of the system platform, and cannot flexibly control the access time of the programs, and cannot realize multi-category users in the family. different viewing rights of the

example 2

[0088] The modification of user permissions is as follows: high-level users can modify the permissions of low-level users to extend or shorten the viewing time period, but the extended time period cannot exceed the maximum time period owned by the high-level user. For example, Example 2: As described in the previous Example 1, user B already has the viewing authority to program P, and the viewing time period is (t2, t3), user A can modify the time period, but after modification The time period cannot exceed the authority owned by user A, that is, the time period (t1, t4) cannot be exceeded.

example 3

[0089] The deletion of user rights is as follows: high-level users can delete the rights of low-level users. For example, Example 3: As described in the previous Example 1, user B already has the viewing authority of program P, and the viewing time period is (t2, t3), user A can delete the authority of user B, and user B loses After the authorization, the program P cannot be watched within the time period (t2, t3).

[0090] The following takes the assignment of program viewing rights for each user as an example to illustrate the specific implementation process of high-level user rights management for low-level users, as shown in FIG. 4 . FIG. 4 is a schematic flow diagram of user assignment authority in an embodiment of the present invention, and the flow includes the following steps:

[0091] Step 401, the high-level user selects the low-level user through the interactive interface displayed on the TV device, and sends the order of viewing authority assignment to the STB via...

example 4

[0101] In addition, the system can also automatically sort out user permissions. For example, in an application environment with many users, the permission information of a certain user may be modified by multiple high-level users, and the modified permissions may overlap. At this time, if the user requests to access a program with overlapping permissions, the system will increase the burden on the system due to the user's multiple permissions for the program when judging the user's permissions, reducing the system's work efficiency and wasting power consumption. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, after each user's authority changes, the system can automatically arrange program-related authority for the user, and merge repeated authority, such as merging of time slots. For example, Example 4: As described in the previous Example 1, user B already has the viewing authority to program P, and the viewing time period is (t2, t3), and now user C also assigns ano...

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method for implementing TV program viewing based on users, comprising: setting user authentication information to authenticate user ID entering TV program; setting user right information to control the TV program the authenticated user can acess and the TV program viewing time length. Based on users, it controls TV program access and corresponding access time at client ends, and implements program viewing differentiation of different users at the same home and flexibly controls the TV programs watched by different members and program viewing implementation, having user graded management mechanism, able to reasonably manage all domestic users and able to be conveniently arranged in various TV systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to TV program viewing control technology, in particular to a user-based control method for realizing TV program viewing. Background technique [0002] Convergence is the main theme of the future development of the telecommunications industry and even the information industry. Interactive Internet TV (IPTV) is an important entry point to realize the integration of the telecommunications network, computer network and cable TV network. Its broadband service model will form a very promising industry. [0003] IPTV is a broadband IP network that integrates Internet, multimedia, communication and other technologies to provide home users with a variety of services including digital TV, live TV, time-shifted TV, video on demand (VOD), and online games. The brand-new technology of interactive service, its client is: (1) the combination of computer, (2) set-top box (STB, Set Top Box) and common TV equipment. [0004] User surveys show that...
