Method for realizing automatic standby function of set-top box

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing the automatic standby function of a set-top box, which is used for realizing the automatic standby of the set-top box when the power is on after a power outage. The method specifically comprises: configuring an infrared sensor in the set-top box and connecting and communicating with a main control, wherein the infrared sensor is used for detecting whether there is a human figure around and notifying the main control of the detection result; a C51 driver program notifies a boot program of its own running state and whether a remote control power-on button information is received; the boot program determines whether to start the automatic standby program, and if the infrared sensor does not detect the human figure around and the boot program does not detect the remote control power-on button information notified by the C51 driver program, the automatic standby program is started at this time; the invention realizes the automatic standby of the set-top box when a power is on again after a power outage and there is no one.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent set-top boxes, in particular to a method for realizing an automatic standby function of a set-top box. Background Art

[0002] The switch operation of the existing set-top box generally has only two types, one is to switch the power supply through the power button set thereon, and the other is to control its standby or startup through a remote controller. The latter is the most commonly used operation mode for users. After the user's set-top box is basically used for the first time, the power button is in the power-on state. Usually, the remote controller is used to standby or start the machine. However, if people suddenly lose power during watching TV programs, or lose power in the middle of the night, or the family goes out after the power outage, they often forget to directly turn off the power of the set-top box. If this power outage is restored, the set-top box will automatically start. If the family goes out, it cannot be processed in time, so that the set-top box is in a working state for a long time, which is easy to accelerate the aging of the set-top box, waste electric energy, and have a fire hazard. And because most TV sets and set-top boxes now have a CEC function, then after the set-top box is started, the TV set will also be awakened by the CEC function, so as to play the set-top box program. If it is a call in the middle of the night, it will be awakened by the sound played by the TV set, and it is also necessary to get up and manually operate the set-top box to shut down. Summary of the invention

[0003] To solve the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for realizing the automatic standby function of a set-top box, which realizes the automatic standby of the set-top box when a power outage and a power supply are restored and no one is present.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for realizing the automatic standby function of a set-top box, which is used to realize the automatic standby of the set-top box when power is restored after a power outage, and specifically comprises the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: configure an infrared sensor in the set-top box and connect it to the main control for communication. The infrared sensor is used to detect whether there is a human figure around and inform the main control of the detection result;

[0006] Step 2: The C51 driver informs the boot program of its running status and whether it has received the remote control power button information;

[0007] Step 3, the boot program determines whether to start the automatic standby program according to the results in step 1 and step 2. If the infrared sensor does not detect any human figure around in step 1, and the boot program does not detect the remote control power button information notified by the C51 driver in step 2, the automatic standby program is started.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step 3, the automatic standby program specifically includes:

[0009] First, turn off the CEC function to prevent the TV from waking up; secondly, record the time and number of times the power is restored; finally, start automatic standby.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0011] The present invention enables the set-top box to automatically go into standby mode when power is restored after a power outage and no one is present, thereby avoiding long-term playback or disturbing users, and bringing a convenient experience to users. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 The figure is a flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] Example

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for realizing the automatic standby function of a set-top box is used to realize the automatic standby of the set-top box when the set-top box is powered on after a power outage, comprising:

[0016] Step S100, the set-top box is equipped with an infrared sensor, which communicates with the main control to detect whether there is a human figure around, and judge that it is not powered on by a human through the power button, because the human powering on through the power button is basically next to the box, and the infrared sensor can detect it;

[0017] Step S200, under normal circumstances, when the remote control power button is used for standby, the C51 driver will still run in the background, so that the user can wake up the set-top box only when the user presses the power button again through the remote control. Therefore, the C51 driver running in the background can receive the power button of the remote control, and can notify the boot program of its own running status. At the same time, the C51 driver will notify the boot program of the status of receiving the power button of the remote control. In this case, when the power is cut off and then restored, the C51 driver is restarted. The boot program can distinguish this situation, so that the automatic standby function in step 300 does not affect the user's normal use of the set-top box. This step is used to determine whether the user uses the remote control to turn on the set-top box under normal use;

[0018] Step S300, if the power is restored after the power outage, during the startup of the set-top box, the boot program detects whether there is a remote control power button notified by the C51 driver. If not, and the infrared sensor does not detect a human figure, the infrared sensor driver informs the box main control. After both conditions are met, during the box startup process, the CEC function is turned off, and the standby function is started. The standby time and standby operation at this time are recorded and written into a certain partition of the flash, which is displayed on a certain UI as the background data of the set-top box, so that the user can observe the time and number of power outages and recovery. The implementation principle of automatic standby is the same as turning off the power by pressing the standby button on the remote control. The user can turn on the power button on the remote control next time when there is power.

[0019] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
