[0072] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0073] Embodiment 1

[0074] The present application provides a set-top box content update method. In the first embodiment of the set-top box content update method of the present application, refer to Figure 1 , the set-top box content updating method comprises:

[0075] Step S10, detecting whether the target application has been installed in the set-top box;

[0076] Step S20, if the target application has been installed in the set-top box, obtaining third-party application data of the target application;

[0077] Step S30, after determining that the third-party application data is local application data, monitoring whether there is application update data in the database of the local application data;

[0078] Step S40: If the application update data exists in the local application data database, the application update data is parsed, and the set-top box content is updated based on the parsed application update data.

[0079] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the target application is a third-party application that has been installed and used in the set-top box, the third-party application data is local application data or network application data determined from the target application, the local application data is data stored locally for the target application, and the application update data is the data content specifically updated by the target application in the database of local application data. The application update data can be parsed by a parser into data in a unified format that can be recognized by the set-top box, wherein the application update data has corresponding parsing tools according to different target applications and different data formats and storage methods, the set-top box update data is data in a unified format that can be recognized and applied by the set-top box, and the set-top box content includes the content in the target application installed in the set-top box and the content in the target application displayed on the desktop of the set-top box.

[0080] Exemplarily, steps S10 to S40 include:

[0081] Determine all applications in the set-top box and determine one of the target applications, detect whether the target application is installed in the set-top box, and when the target application is installed in the set-top box, obtain third-party application data of the target application. If the third-party application data is local application data, determine whether there is application update data in the database of the local application data through a monitoring thread; if there is application update data in the database of the local application data, parse the application update data in the local application data, and update the third-party applications installed in the set-top box and the set-top box desktop content based on the parsed application update data.

[0082] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the third-party application, namely the target application, can store and update the user's historical data when the target application opens the video broadcast. Secondly, the monitoring thread is started in the data monitoring layer to read the database data in the local application data or the cached data of the local application data, and convert them into the content database in a unified format, namely the set-top box update data through the database parser and the json / xml parser respectively. The content database in the set-top box is updated according to the set-top box update data to update and display the set-top box application section data.

[0083] In step S30, the step of monitoring whether there is application update data in the local application data database includes:

[0084] Step S31, monitoring whether the target application is updated through a monitoring thread;

[0085] Step S32: if the target application is updated, it is determined that there is application update data in the local application data database.

[0086] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the set-top box triggers the application monitoring thread on the hour, and the monitoring thread can monitor the local application data of the target application in real time to determine whether the target application is updated. The local application data includes local database data and local cache data.

[0087] Exemplarily, step S31 to step S32 include:

[0088] If it is detected that the target application has been installed or applied in the set-top box, the monitoring thread of the target application is enabled, and the local application data of the target application is obtained by monitoring the monitoring thread to see if it is updated; if it is monitored that the local application data is updated, the application update data corresponding to the target application is extracted from the database of local application data. Since the update status of the local application data is directly monitored by the monitoring thread, the updated content can be obtained at the first time after the target application is updated, thereby improving the speed and frequency of content updates of the set-top box.

[0089] In step S40, the step of parsing the application update data includes:

[0090] Step A10, determining the storage location corresponding to the local application data;

[0091] Step A20, determining a database storage path corresponding to the application update data according to a storage location corresponding to the local application data;

[0092] Step A30: acquiring the application update data in the database of the local application data based on the database storage path, and parsing the acquired application update data.

[0093] Exemplarily, steps A10 to A20 include:

[0094] Determine the storage location corresponding to the local application data of the target application, and determine the database storage path of the application update data according to the storage location, obtain the application update data in the database of the local application data based on the database storage path, and parse the application update data.

[0095] Specifically, the local application data may be one of local database data and local cache data. The local database data is a database file, and the local cache data is a json / xml file, both of which are different formats for storing data.

[0096] In step A30, the step of parsing the application update data includes:

[0097] Step A31, determining the database file and / or cache file corresponding to the application update data;

[0098] Step A32, when there is video-related data in the database file and / or the cache file, traverse all set-top box display data in the video-related data;

[0099] Step A33, determining updated set-top box display data generated from each of the set-top box display data;

[0100] Step A34, parsing the updated set-top box display data.

[0101] In this embodiment, it should be noted that this embodiment is based on a parser, including a database parser and a json / xml parser, and corresponding parsing tools are obtained for different data formats and storage methods of different target applications. The parsers of different applications may be different, but the general process is consistent. If the application update data is a database file, the parser is the database parser corresponding to the target application. If the application update data is a cache file, the parser is the json or xml parser corresponding to the target application. The video-related data is the data in the database that carries the video field, and the set-top box display data is usually the data in the database that carries the set-top box desktop display content field. The database data contains a field indicating an update. If this field is carried, it means that this data has been updated. The specific set-top box update data can be extracted from the updated field. The set-top box update data can include the latest updated data, popular data, and featured data.

[0102] Exemplarily, steps A31 to A34 include:

[0103] Determine the database file and / or cache file corresponding to the application update data; filter out the video-related data in the database file and / or cache file, and traverse all the set-top box display data in the video-related data; determine the updated set-top box display data in each set-top box display data; and parse the updated set-top box display data.

[0104] Specifically, Figure 3 The Mango TV parser is used to illustrate the code flow of the parser. After obtaining the installation path of Mango TV, it detects whether the target database file exists. If so, it loads the database data, and detects whether the vii deo_channe l field (video-related data) exists in the database. The field value is read, and the launcher_main field (set-top box display data) is traversed. If the renewal content is detected (an update is generated), each field is parsed by the corresponding parser, and each field is stored as updated data or selected data.

[0105] The set-top box content updating method further includes:

[0106] Step B10, when it is detected that the set-top box plays a video broadcast, extracting video information corresponding to the video broadcast;

[0107] Step B20, storing the video information as user history data;

[0108] Step B30: updating the set-top box content based on the user historical data.

[0109] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the video broadcast is the broadcast played by the set-top box when playing broadcast television, and corresponding video information including broadcast program related information can be obtained from the video broadcast.

[0110] Exemplarily, steps B10 to B30 include:

[0111] When it is detected that the set-top box plays a video broadcast, the video information corresponding to the video broadcast is extracted; the video information is stored as user history data, and the user history data is stored in the content database of the set-top box to update the set-top box content according to the user history data, and improve the source and way of set-top box update.

[0112] The embodiment of the present application provides a set-top box content update method, which detects whether a target application has been installed in the set-top box; if the target application has been installed in the set-top box, obtains third-party application data of the target application; after determining that the third-party application data is local application data, monitors whether there is application update data in the database of the local application data; enables the set-top box to quickly receive update information after an update occurs; obtains application update data corresponding to the target application from the local application data; if the application update data exists in the database of the local application data, parses the application update data, and updates the set-top box content based on the parsed application update data, which is compatible with data of multiple applications in multiple formats; updates the set-top box content according to the set-top box update data, greatly reducing the workload of operators, and after implementation, most of the recommended data of third-party applications can be generated in real time by the data monitoring system without the need for operator processing, while increasing the update frequency and timeliness of data content.

[0113] Embodiment 2

[0114] Further, refer to Figure 4 Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in another embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. On this basis, after step S10, after the step of detecting whether the target application has been installed in the set-top box, it also includes:

[0115] Step C10, if the target application is not installed in the set-top box, obtaining network update data of the target application through a preset data update interface;

[0116] Step C20: updating the set-top box content based on the network update data.

[0117] After step S10, after the step of detecting whether the target application has been installed in the set-top box, the method further includes:

[0118] Step D10, if the target application is not installed in the set-top box, crawling network update data of the target application through a preset application update website;

[0119] Step D20, updating the set-top box content based on the network update data.

[0120] In this embodiment, it should be noted that, to determine the target application that needs to be updated in the set-top box, when the user has not installed the target application or the target application cannot be locally parsed due to permission issues or compatibility issues, the network data monitoring method is used to update it. Among them, some third-party application background servers provide a preset data update interface. In this case, only the data monitoring background needs to update the data according to the data update interface; and when some third-party application backgrounds do not provide such an interface or there are other problems that cannot obtain the corresponding data, we use the data crawler method to directly crawl the official website data for update. The interface update method requires the target application to provide a corresponding preset data update interface, and the crawler update method requires the target application to provide a corresponding application update website, that is, the official website.

[0121] Exemplarily, the steps include:

[0122] When the target application is not installed in the set-top box, if it is detected that the target application has an interface update method or a crawler update method, the preset data update interface or application update website corresponding to the target application is obtained; the network update data of the target application is obtained from the data update interface or the application update website; the set-top box update data is stored in the content database and the set-top box content is updated to ensure comprehensive content coverage.

[0123] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, when the section of the target application needs to be updated, a request is made to update the target application, and it is detected whether the target application has a data interface update method or a web crawler method. If there is a data interface update method, a data update interface callback is registered. If there is a web crawler method, data is crawled from the official website; the update information of the target application is obtained, the set-top box update data is constructed according to the update information, the set-top box update data is stored, and the section of the target application in the set-top box content is updated.

[0124] An embodiment of the present application provides a set-top box content update method with network monitoring, that is, if the target application is not installed in the set-top box, the network update data of the target application is obtained through a preset data update interface; the set-top box content is updated based on the network update data; if the target application is not installed in the set-top box, the network update data of the target application is crawled through a preset application update website; the set-top box content is updated based on the network update data, and as much content as possible is supported through network monitoring under local monitoring and updating, which can also ensure the comprehensiveness of content coverage.
