[0002] With the development of communication technology and terminal equipment, the image quality of various audio and video is getting higher and higher, and people are increasingly inclined to watch higher-quality images and videos. However, terminal equipment needs higher-performance hardware support to play higher-quality images, which means that the hardware facilities of terminal equipment need to be updated to meet the terminal equipment's decoding needs for higher-quality images and videos.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not necessarily include all the contents and operations / steps, nor must they be executed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps may also be decomposed, combined or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change according to actual conditions.

[0025] It should be understood that the terms used in this specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. As used in the specification of the present invention and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0026] The embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal device upgrade method, terminal device, control system and storage medium. The terminal device upgrade method can be applied to a terminal device, for example, a set-top box. The terminal device includes electronic devices such as a set-top box, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a personal digital assistant and a wearable device. The set-top box includes a two-way set-top box, a digital set-top box and a network set-top box. It is understandable that the terminal device upgrade method can be applied to a server, for example, a single server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] The following takes the terminal device upgrade method applied to the terminal device as an example to explain the embodiment of the present invention. Mainly, the example is a set-top box, and the implementation process of other terminal devices can refer to the specific implementation steps of the set-top box in the embodiment of the present invention, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated.

[0028] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a process flow of a terminal device upgrade method provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the terminal device upgrading method includes steps S101 to S102.

[0031] Step S101: upgrading the software of the terminal device so that the terminal device after the software upgrade can communicate with the decoding server.

[0032] Generally speaking, a terminal device, such as a set-top box, is used to connect an external signal source and a display device, that is, to obtain video data to be played from the external signal source, decode the video data to be played, and send the decoded video data to the display device, so that the display device can display the decoded video data to the audience. The external signal source is, for example, a broadband network, a cable, a satellite antenna or a terrestrial broadcast, and the display device is, for example, a television, a projector, etc.

[0033] However, as viewers pursue watching higher-resolution video data, the performance of the set-top boxes in many viewers' homes is insufficient and cannot decode higher-resolution video data, resulting in users being unable to satisfy their pursuit of watching higher-resolution video data and poor user experience.

[0034] Based on this, the inventors of the present invention believe that by pre-deploying decoding servers in multiple areas, the decoding servers can be used to assist terminal devices in decoding higher resolution video data, thereby improving the decoding capabilities of the terminal devices and enabling the terminal devices to deliver higher resolution film sources.

[0035] It should be noted that the decoding server is configured with a decoding chip for decoding video data of a preset resolution. For example, the decoding chip of an existing set-top box can decode video data of a 2K resolution, while the decoding chip of the decoding server can decode video data of 4K or 8K, which can significantly improve the ability of the set-top box to display higher resolution sources to the TV. Alternatively, the decoding chip configured by the decoding server can decode at least one video data of a preset resolution, that is, the decoding chip can decode video data of preset resolutions of multiple streams at the same time.

[0036] Exemplarily, the software of the set-top box is upgraded so that the set-top box after the software upgrade can communicate with the decoding server. For example, the software of the set-top box is upgraded to establish a handshake protocol between the set-top box after the software upgrade and the decoding server, and the set-top box after the software upgrade can communicate with the decoding server according to the handshake protocol; or, the communication capability between the set-top box after the software upgrade and the decoding server is enhanced. For example, the software of the set-top box is upgraded to optimize the communication program between the set-top box after the software upgrade and the decoding server, thereby enhancing the communication capability between the set-top box and the decoding server.

[0037] In one embodiment, the step of performing software upgrade on the terminal device includes: obtaining a software upgrade instruction, and downloading a corresponding software data package according to the software upgrade instruction; performing software upgrade on the terminal device based on the software data package. It should be noted that the software upgrade instruction may be sent by a user. For example, the user sends a software upgrade instruction to the set-top box through a remote control, a control on the set-top box, etc.; or, the user triggers the software upgrade instruction of the set-top box connected to the display device by operating the display device. After the set-top box obtains the software upgrade instruction, it downloads the corresponding software data package from the network according to the software upgrade instruction, and installs the software data package, thereby realizing the software upgrade of the set-top box.

[0038] Furthermore, according to the software upgrade instruction, the specific method of downloading the corresponding software data package includes: verifying the permission information carried in the software upgrade instruction, and if the verification is successful, downloading the software data package corresponding to the software upgrade instruction. The permission information includes but is not limited to the user's payment history information, permission level information, and permission remaining time.

[0039] In one embodiment, a user sends a scheduled upgrade instruction to a terminal device, and the scheduled upgrade instruction is used to instruct the terminal device to perform a software upgrade at a preset time. For example, the user controls the set-top box to perform a software upgrade at 8 o'clock in the evening; or, the scheduled upgrade instruction user can also instruct the terminal device to perform a software upgrade after a preset time, for example, the user controls the set-top box to perform a software upgrade after 3 hours. It should be noted that after the terminal device obtains the scheduled upgrade instruction, it downloads the corresponding software data package from the network in advance according to the scheduled upgrade instruction, and installs the software data package when the scheduled upgrade condition is met, thereby realizing the software upgrade of the terminal device.

[0040] In one embodiment, after the decoding server is updated, the terminal device obtains the update information of the decoding server and upgrades the software of the terminal device according to the update information of the decoding server, so that the terminal device after the software upgrade can communicate with the updated decoding server, and then re-establish the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server.

[0041] Step S102: Establishing a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server, so that the terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution.

[0042] Among them, the decoding server can be deployed according to the number of terminal devices. For example, for every one thousand set-top boxes, a decoding server is deployed near the corresponding one thousand set-top boxes, and the one decoding server can meet the decoding needs of the one thousand set-top boxes nearby; or, the decoding server can be deployed according to the area of ​​the region. For example, for every 10 square kilometers of area, a decoding server is deployed in the corresponding area, and the one decoding server can meet the decoding needs of multiple set-top boxes within the area of ​​10 square kilometers. It can be understood that the embodiments of the present invention also include other deployment methods of decoding servers, and the deployment methods of decoding servers in the above embodiments do not represent limitations on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] In one embodiment, when the software upgrade of the terminal device is completed, the terminal device broadcasts a detection data packet; the terminal device receives the response information returned by the decoding server based on the detection data packet; and the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server is established according to the response information. It should be noted that the response information returned by the decoding server carries a decoding server tag, and the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server is established according to the decoding server tag, so that the terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution, thereby enabling the terminal device to play a higher resolution film source.

[0044] Further, according to the response information, a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server is established, including: obtaining the decoding server tag carried in the response information and the tag information of the terminal device; binding the decoding server tag with the tag information of the terminal device to establish a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server. In some embodiments, the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server is saved in a database or a memory of the terminal device, so that the terminal device can quickly call the bound decoding server according to the saved binding relationship.

[0045] In one embodiment, when the software upgrade of the terminal device is completed, the terminal device restarts, and after the restart, obtains the grouping information in the software data packet used for the software upgrade, the grouping information including the label information of the decoding server in the area where the terminal device is located; based on the grouping information, a detection data packet is sent to the decoding server; it is detected whether the terminal device receives the response information returned by the decoding server based on the sent detection data packet; when the response information is detected, a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server is established based on the response information.

[0046] In one embodiment, the terminal device receives multiple response messages. The time point recorded when the terminal device receives each of the response messages is obtained to obtain multiple receiving time points; according to the multiple receiving time points, the target response information is determined from the multiple response messages; according to the target response information, a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server is established. It should be noted that the response information corresponding to the earliest receiving time point among the multiple receiving time points is used as the target response information, and a binding relationship is established between the terminal device and the decoding server corresponding to the target response information, so that the terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution.

[0047] Alternatively, the terminal device receives multiple response messages. Obtain the decoding capability value of the decoding server corresponding to each of the response messages received by the terminal device to obtain multiple decoding capability values; determine the target response information from the multiple response messages according to the multiple decoding capability values; and establish a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server according to the target response information. It should be noted that the response information corresponding to the largest decoding capability value among the multiple decoding capability values ​​is used as the target response information, and a binding relationship is established between the terminal device and the decoding server corresponding to the target response information, so that the terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution.

[0048] Alternatively, the terminal device receives multiple response messages. Obtain the remaining binding capacity of the decoding server corresponding to each of the response messages received by the terminal device to obtain multiple remaining binding capacities; determine the target response information from the multiple response messages based on the multiple remaining binding capacities; and establish a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server based on the target response information. It should be noted that the response information corresponding to the largest remaining binding capacity among the multiple remaining binding capacities is used as the target response information, and a binding relationship is established between the terminal device and the decoding server corresponding to the target response information, so that the terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution. Among them, the remaining binding capacity is the capacity of the terminal device that can be bound by the decoding server. For example, the set-top box receives response information sent by decoding server A, decoding server B and decoding server C respectively, where the maximum binding capacity of decoding server A, decoding server B and decoding server C is 1000, the remaining binding capacity of decoding server A is 500, the remaining binding capacity of decoding server B is 600, and the remaining binding capacity of decoding server C is 400. Then the set-top box can select decoding server B with a remaining binding capacity of 600 as the target decoding server for binding.

[0049] In one embodiment, after establishing the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server, the following steps may be further included: obtaining the decoding capability value of the bound decoding server; obtaining corresponding film source push information according to the decoding capability value of the bound decoding server, and saving the film source push information. The film source push information includes a plurality of film sources corresponding to the decoding capability values.

[0050] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the set-top box 10 obtains the decoding capability value of the bound decoding server 20 as 4.0, and the decoding capability value of 4.0 indicates that the decoding server can decode the film source with 4K resolution. The set-top box 10 reports the decoding capability of the current set-top box 10 supporting 4K resolution to the service server 30, and the service server 30 pushes the film source channel information and film source program information with 4K resolution to the set-top box 10. The set-top box 10 saves the film source channel information and film source program information with 4K resolution pushed by the service server 30 to the memory, so that after the display device is turned on, the film source channel information and film source program information with 4K resolution pushed by the service server 30 can be delivered to the display device for the user to select and play.

[0051] In one embodiment, if the terminal device does not receive a response returned by the decoding server based on the broadcast detection data packet, the decoding capability value of the terminal device is obtained; based on the decoding capability value of the terminal device, film source push information is obtained, wherein the film source push information includes multiple film sources corresponding to the decoding capability value of the terminal device.

[0052] Alternatively, the terminal device is bound to the decoding server. When an abnormality is detected in the bound decoding server, the source push information including multiple corresponding decoding capability values ​​is obtained according to the decoding capability value of the terminal device. For example, the 8K program of a certain operator in a certain city is unable to play the source of the 8K program due to an abnormality in the decoding server. In order not to affect user use, the abnormal decoding server is disconnected from the bound set-top box, and the set-top box reports the decoding capability value of the set-top box to the service server. The service server no longer pushes 8K programs, but pushes the source corresponding to the decoding capability value of the set-top box, such as pushing 4K programs. After the abnormal decoding server completes the repair of the problem, the set-top box re-establishes the connection with the decoding server, and the service server re-pushes the 8K program to the user. Advantageously, when an abnormality occurs in the bound decoding server, the software version of the set-top box does not need to be changed, and the abnormality can be repaired without affecting user use.

[0053] In one embodiment, after establishing a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server, it also includes: when receiving a playback request for video data of a preset resolution, generating a video data decoding request according to the playback request; sending the video data decoding request to the bound decoding server, so that the bound decoding server obtains the corresponding video data based on the video data decoding request, and decodes the video data, and sends the decoded video data to the terminal device; the terminal device obtains the decoded video data sent by the bound decoding server, and outputs the decoded video data. It should be noted that the decoded video data can be in the form of a video stream or multi-frame image data. Without replacing the hardware part of the terminal device, the decoding capability of the terminal device is greatly improved, so that the terminal device can deliver higher resolution video data.

[0054] Among them, when the terminal device is an electronic device with a display screen, such as a mobile phone or a smart TV, the decoded video data is output through the carried display screen; when the terminal device is an electronic device without a display screen, such as a set-top box, a smart refrigerator, or a smart controller, the decoded video data is sent to the electronic device with a display screen so that the electronic device with a display screen outputs the decoded video data.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a scenario for implementing the terminal device upgrade method provided in this embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the user sends a playback request for video data of a preset resolution to the set-top box 10 through the display device 40. When the set-top box 10 receives the playback request, it generates a video data decoding request according to the playback request, and sends the generated video data decoding request to the bound decoding server 20, so that the bound decoding server 20 obtains the corresponding video data from the network based on the video data decoding request, decodes the video data, and sends the decoded video data to the set-top box 10. The set-top box 10 then delivers the decoded video data sent by the bound decoding server 20 to the display device 40, so that the display device 40 can display the decoded video data for the user to watch.

[0056] The terminal device upgrade method provided in the above embodiment upgrades the software of the terminal device so that the terminal device after the software upgrade can communicate with the decoding server, and then establishes a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server, so that the terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution. Without replacing the hardware part of the terminal device, the decoding capability of the terminal device is greatly improved, so that the terminal device can play a higher resolution film source. At the same time, the hardware cost and time cost of upgrading the terminal device are greatly reduced, which can increase the user's on-demand volume of ultra-high-definition resolution images and videos, and increase the operator's playback efficiency.

[0057] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic block diagram of the structure of a terminal device provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the terminal device 200 includes a processor 201 and a memory 202, and the processor 201 and the memory 202 are connected via a bus 203, such as an I2C (Inter-integrated Circuit) bus.
