[0032] In the present disclosure, with respect to the hardware of the set-top box, selecting high-performance hardware components is the key to ensuring stable operation of the system and efficient data processing.

[0033] On the one hand, set-top boxes often need to process data from multiple sensors and devices and perform real-time analysis or forwarding.

[0045] Cost-effectiveness: Under the premise of ensuring performance requirements, select cost-effective chips to effectively control project costs.

[0046] On the other hand, the set-top box needs to connect to a variety of external devices, so the selection of the motherboard needs to consider its rich interface, including HDMI interface for high-definition video output, USB interface for data transmission and expansion, Ethernet port for network connection, audio interface to support audio input and output, etc. These interfaces not only ensure the compatibility of the set-top box, but also provide a basis for its flexible application in the set-top box system.

[0047] Specifically, in the selection of motherboards for set-top boxes or other devices in the system to which the set-top boxes belong, the key factors can be summarized as follows: Chipset: The chipset of the motherboard is the core, which determines the CPU type that the motherboard can support, the upper limit of memory speed, and available expansion slots, etc. Therefore, you need to choose a chipset that is compatible with the processor.

[0048] CPU socket: According to the selected processor type (such as different series of Intel or AMD), determine the corresponding CPU socket type on the motherboard to ensure that the processor can be installed and work correctly.

[0049] Memory support: Check the memory type (such as DDR3, DDR4, etc.) and maximum memory capacity supported by the motherboard, which directly affects the system's multitasking capabilities and response speed.

[0056] Heat dissipation design: Good heat dissipation design can ensure the stability and life of the motherboard and its components under long-term operation, including heat sinks, fan connectors, etc.

[0057] In addition, the set-top box needs to store system files, applications, and a large amount of data from other devices. Therefore, it is crucial to install the appropriate amount of memory and storage hard disk. Sufficient storage space can ensure smooth operation of the system while meeting the needs of data storage and backup.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The present invention is a flowchart of a set-top box adaptation method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising the following steps: Step S11: Perform external device detection on the set-top box to determine the target external device connected to the set-top box.

[0059] Step S12: Obtain device information of the target external device.

[0060] Step S13: Determine the target adaptation parameters of the set-top box according to the device information.

[0061] Step S14: configuring the set-top box and / or the target external device according to the target adaptation parameters, so as to complete the adaptation connection between the set-top box and the target external device.

[0062] Through the above technical solution, the set-top box is firstly detected for external devices, the target external device connected to the set-top box is determined, and then the device information of the target external device is obtained, and the target adaptation parameters of the set-top box are determined according to the device information. Finally, the set-top box and / or the target external device can be configured according to the target adaptation parameters to complete the adaptation connection between the set-top box and the target external device. In this way, by introducing the automated external device detection and adaptation parameter determination process, not only the time for manual configuration of the user is significantly shortened, the adaptation efficiency between the set-top box and the diversified external devices is greatly improved, but also the user can easily achieve fast and accurate adaptation connection without professional skills. This method can intelligently identify and be compatible with devices manufactured by different manufacturers, effectively overcome the compatibility problems caused by differences in hardware interfaces, software and operating systems, make the application scenarios of the set-top box more extensive, and further improve the user's satisfaction and overall experience. At the same time, the automated adaptation process greatly reduces the compatibility problems caused by improper configuration, ensuring that users can enjoy a more stable and smooth audio-visual enjoyment. In addition, this change also simplifies the configuration process, reduces the user's operating burden, and makes the entire use process more convenient and efficient. In addition, the intelligent adaptation mechanism can automatically adjust parameters according to external device information, reducing the failure rate and maintenance requirements, thereby effectively controlling maintenance costs. With the continuous advancement of technology, this method can also support emerging devices and formats through software upgrades, effectively extending the service life of set-top boxes and promoting the continuous development of smart home and multimedia entertainment.

[0063] For example, when the set-top box is powered on, a series of critical operations may be immediately performed to ensure its normal operation and compatibility with external devices.

[0064] First, the user provides the necessary power supply to the set-top box by turning on the power switch or ensuring that the device is properly connected to the power supply. This is the first step in the set-top box startup process, allowing it to start receiving power and prepare to enter the working state. Immediately after the power is turned on, the set-top box automatically performs POST (Power-On Self-Test, hardware self-test), which is designed to verify the status and connection of all internal hardware components. POST ensures that all necessary hardware is ready, without failure or damage, laying the foundation for the subsequent startup process.

[0065] Once the hardware self-test is successfully completed, the set-top box's BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) or the more modern UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) firmware will take over the boot process and load the operating system pre-installed on the device. This step is the key transition from the hardware level to the software level of the set-top box, allowing users to start using the various features and services provided by the set-top box.

[0066] With the operating system successfully loaded, the set-top box will start the device detection initialization process.

[0067] In a possible manner, performing external device detection on a set-top box to determine a target external device connected to the set-top box includes: Get the interface connection status of the target interface of the set-top box; Determine the target external device connected to the set-top box according to the interface connection status; The target interface includes one or more of an HDMI interface, a USB interface, an AV interface, and a network interface.

[0068] For example, first, the set-top box system can poll or actively detect the connection status of all its target interfaces (including one or more of the HDMI interface, USB interface, AV interface, and network interface). Specifically, it can be done by reading hardware registers, sending query commands, or checking physical connection signals (such as voltage changes). After obtaining the connection status of each interface, the set-top box needs to analyze this information to determine the currently connected target external device.

[0069] For example, for a USB interface, the set-top box can read the descriptor information of the USB device, which uniquely identifies the type of device connected. For HDMI and AV interfaces, the type of connected device can be indirectly inferred through signal characteristics (such as resolution, color format). Then confirm whether the identified device is compatible with the set-top box, including supported formats, protocols, etc. Once the device type and compatibility are determined, the set-top box can configure relevant parameters as needed, such as video output resolution, audio output format, etc., to ensure optimal compatibility and performance. After completing the external device detection, the set-top box can feedback the detection results to the user through the user interface (such as display, remote control indicator) or network connection (such as sending notifications to applications). This helps users understand the status of the currently connected device and perform corresponding operations or configurations.

[0070] Specifically, for the HDMI interface, it is possible to detect whether there is an HDMI signal input, which can be achieved through the specific pin status of the HDMI interface or the internal circuit detection. For the USB interface, it is possible to check whether there is a device connected to the USB interface, and the connected USB device can be identified through the enumeration process of the USB bus. For the AV interface (including composite video, component video, etc.), it is possible to detect whether the video and audio signal lines are connected, which can be determined by detecting the signal level or impedance change. For the network interface, it is possible to check whether there is a physical connection (such as the plug-in status of the Ethernet cable) and the network connection status (such as whether the IP address is successfully obtained).

[0071] The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit the specific method of acquiring the interface connection status of the target interface of the set-top box and determining the target external device connected to the set-top box according to the interface connection status.

[0072] In a possible manner, the target external device is one or more of the following devices: Display devices, audio devices, control devices, network devices, and USB devices; Display devices include monitors and HDMI converters, audio devices include sound systems, control devices include remote controls, keyboards and mice, network devices include routers and optical modems, and USB devices include USB flash drives, mobile hard drives, USB cameras and USB game controllers.

[0073] For example, in the external device detection of the set-top box, when it is determined that the target external device is one or more of a display device, an audio device, a control device, a network device, and a USB device, the detection and identification process can be specifically performed for the characteristics of these devices.

[0074] Among them, the audio system may include speakers, headphones, audio receivers, digital-to-analog converters, audio interface converters, audio matrices, audio analyzers, professional audio equipment, sound bars, wireless headphones / speakers, and assistive listening devices.

[0075] During the detection process, the set-top box can use a variety of technologies and methods to ensure accurate identification and configuration of these external devices. For example, the device manager of the operating system can be used to list the connected devices, or the detailed information of the device can be obtained by sending a specific query command. In addition, the firmware or software of the set-top box itself can also be used to optimize the performance and compatibility of the device. The present disclosure embodiment does not specifically limit the detection and identification method of each specific device.

[0076] It is worth noting that the target external device described in the present disclosure includes any one or more devices that can be connected to the set-top box to realize corresponding functions, and the target interface can be any one or more wired and / or wireless interfaces corresponding to the target external device, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations on this.

[0077] In a possible manner, after completing the adaptation connection between the set-top box and the target external device, the method further includes: Real-time monitoring of the device status of the target external device and the connection status between the set-top box and the target external device; When the device state of the target external device and / or the connection state between the set-top box and the target external device changes, performing external device detection on the set-top box to determine the first target external device so as to complete the adaptation connection between the set-top box and the first target external device; The first target external device refers to a target external device connected to the set-top box after a device state and / or a connection state between the set-top box and the target external device changes.

[0078] For example, after the adaptation connection between the set-top box and the target external device is completed, in order to ensure the stability and continuity of the system, a series of subsequent operations may be implemented, including real-time monitoring and dynamic response.

[0079] Specifically, the status of the connected target external device can be continuously monitored, such as power status, working mode, performance parameters, etc. This can be achieved by reading the status information of the device, sending query commands, or monitoring specific signals of the device. At the same time, the physical connection status between the target external device can also be monitored, including whether the interface connection is stable, whether the signal transmission is stable, etc. This helps to promptly discover and solve connection problems, such as looseness, disconnection, or signal interference.

[0080] When the device status of the target external device or the connection status between the set-top box and the target external device is detected to have changed, the set-top box should immediately trigger the corresponding detection mechanism. Such changes may include the device being turned off or restarted, the connection being disconnected or reconnected, and the device performance being degraded.

[0081] After detecting the status change, the external device detection is performed again. This process is similar to the detection process during the initial connection, but can focus on confirming the currently connected device and its status. Then, based on the results of the re-detection, the adaptation connection between the set-top box and the target external device is updated to ensure compatibility and stability between the set-top box and the target external device.

[0082] During the process of adapting the connection update, notifications can also be sent to the user through the user interface (such as a display screen, indicator light, or sound prompt). These notifications may include changes in connection status, updates to device types, performance optimization prompts, etc., so that the user can understand the current system status.

[0083] For subsequent troubleshooting and performance analysis, the set-top box can also record all log information related to the connection and adaptation of external devices. Among them, these log information may include connection time, disconnection time, device type, state change, error code, etc.

[0084] This technical solution ensures that the connection between the set-top box and the target external device is always kept in the best state through real-time monitoring and dynamic response, thereby improving the stability of the system and user experience.

[0085] In a possible manner, the target adaptation parameters of the set-top box are determined according to the device information, including: Send a parameter acquisition request to the target external device; If the target external device supports parameter query in response to the parameter acquisition request, the parameters received from the target external device are determined as target adaptation parameters; If the target external device does not support parameter query in response to the parameter acquisition request, a query is performed based on a preset database to determine the target adaptation parameters.

[0086] For example, the set-top box may first attempt to establish communication with the target external device and send a parameter acquisition request. The purpose of this request is to inquire about the specific configuration or parameters that the target external device supports so that the set-top box can adjust its settings accordingly. If the target external device supports the parameter query function and successfully receives the request from the set-top box, it will feed back the corresponding parameters to the set-top box based on its own configuration and capabilities. When the set-top box receives these parameters, it can verify and confirm to ensure that the received parameters are valid and applicable to the currently connected device. Once the verification is passed, these parameters are determined as the target adaptation parameters of the set-top box.

[0087] If the target external device does not support the parameter query function, or fails to respond to the set-top box's request for some reason (such as device failure, abnormal communication problems, etc.), the set-top box will take an alternative solution. At this time, the set-top box will turn to its internal preset database or configuration file that contains adaptation parameter information for a variety of common external devices. By querying the database for data that matches or is most similar to the target external device, a set of available adaptation parameters is determined. It is worth noting that this set of parameters may not be completely the optimal settings for the current device, but in most cases it can ensure basic compatibility and functionality.

[0088] The database described in the present disclosure may be determined according to the usage pattern by analyzing the device type and adaptation parameters of the target external device used by the user in the past. When performing a query, a fuzzy matching algorithm may be used to find the closest device model based on a partial match of the name, model, or other attributes of the target external device. In addition, when the adaptation parameters cannot be automatically determined, the user may be requested to provide their past experience or preferences. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this.

[0089] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, all actions to obtain signals, information, parameters or data are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where they are located, and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device, equipment, system or database.

[0090] In a possible manner, the target adaptation parameters of the set-top box are determined according to the device information, including: Determine similar devices to the target external device based on the device information; Get configuration parameters of similar devices; According to the configuration parameters, the target adaptation parameters are determined.

[0091] For example, similar devices can be devices with similar characteristics and capabilities to the target external device, determined based on manufacturer, model series, main specifications and functions, etc. Therefore, the core characteristics and capabilities of the target external device can be analyzed based on the device information, and then devices similar to the target external device can be searched in the internal database of the set-top box or external resources, and then the configuration parameters of the similar devices can be obtained.

[0092] Because there may be slight differences between similar devices, the set-top box needs to filter out the configuration parameters that best match the target external device, and select the parameter set that is closest to or compatible with the target device. Based on the filtered configuration parameters, the set-top box will determine the final target adaptation parameters. These parameters should be able to guarantee the compatibility and performance between the set-top box and the target external device to the greatest extent. Of course, the configuration parameters obtained can also be directly determined as the target adaptation parameters according to the actual application situation, and the disclosed embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0093] It should be understood that in the present disclosure, the set-top box can be configured only according to the target adaptation parameters, the target external device can be configured only according to the target adaptation parameters, and both the set-top box and the target external device can be configured according to the target adaptation parameters to complete the adaptation connection between the set-top box and the target external device. The object of configuration can be determined according to the actual application scenario, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit it.

[0094] In a possible manner, the target adaptation parameters of the set-top box are determined according to the device information, including: Determine one or more of a device identifier, a device attribute, a device type, and a device series of the target external device according to the device information; Input one or more of a device identifier, a device attribute, a device type, and a device series into a pre-trained parameter prediction model to obtain an adaptation prediction parameter of the target external device; According to the adaptation prediction parameters, the target adaptation parameters of the set-top box are determined.

[0095] For example, first, relevant information of the target external device may be collected based on the device information, including but not limited to: Device identifier: A code or logo that uniquely identifies a device, such as a device serial number, MAC address, or model number.

[0096] Device attributes: Information that describes the basic characteristics and capabilities of a device, such as manufacturer, operating system version, and hardware specifications.

[0097] Device type: such as smart TV, game console, projector, etc., indicating the category to which the device belongs.

[0098] Device family: A specific series or product line to which a device of a certain brand belongs.

[0099] The collected relevant information is then preprocessed in a standardized manner, and the preprocessed device identifier, device attributes, device type, device series and other information are used as input and sent to the pre-trained parameter prediction model to obtain the predicted adaptation parameters output by the parameter prediction model.

[0100] The parameter prediction model may be trained based on a large amount of historical data and actual adaptation situations to learn the complex relationship between different device characteristics and set-top box adaptation parameters.

[0101] Finally, the target adaptation parameters of the set-top box can be determined based on the adaptation prediction parameters output by the model, combined with the actual application scenarios and user preferences, etc. This may involve some manual judgment or fine-tuning to ensure that the final adaptation solution meets the technical requirements and provides the best user experience.

[0102] In a possible way, after determining the target adaptation parameters, you can test and verify them in the actual environment to ensure that these parameters can indeed effectively adapt to the target external device, and adjust them if necessary. By continuously collecting feedback and performance data, you can continuously optimize the model and improve the accuracy and efficiency of adaptation.

[0103] In a possible manner, configuring the set-top box and / or the target external device according to the target adaptation parameter to complete the adaptation connection between the set-top box and the target external device may include: Perform display and audio settings on the set-top box according to the target adaptation parameters. Specifically, the display output can be adjusted according to the target adaptation parameters to ensure compatibility with the connected display device. The audio output can be adjusted according to the target adaptation parameters to match the connected audio device.

[0104] You can also set the settings for the input device. This can be done based on the device specifications, ensuring that the adjustments meet the physical and technical limitations of the device.

[0105] Set according to user preferences to meet the operating habits and needs of different users, and adjust parameters according to specific application scenarios to maximize device performance. Set according to compatibility to avoid conflicts between devices and systems and ensure stable operation. Set according to performance requirements to ensure that the device can run smoothly under the adjusted parameters. Set according to feedback loops to continuously optimize and adjust through user feedback and system monitoring. Set according to preset configurations to quickly adapt to specific applications or games using existing optimization solutions.

[0106] The specific adjustment process may include: (1) Device identification: Accurately identify the type and characteristics of the connected device to provide a basis for subsequent adjustments.

[0107] (2) Parameter adaptation: Intelligently select or calculate appropriate parameter values ​​based on device specifications and usage scenarios.

[0108] (3) Application settings: Apply the adjusted parameters to the device to ensure that the device works as expected.

[0109] (4) User interface feedback: Provide an intuitive interface to let users understand the current configuration and support users to make fine adjustments.

[0110] (5) Continuous monitoring: Real-time monitoring of system performance and user operations to promptly identify and resolve problems.

[0111] (6) Dynamic optimization: Automatically or prompt users to make necessary adjustments based on monitoring results and user feedback.

[0112] (7) Adjustment completed: When all parameters reach the optimal state and the user is satisfied, the adjustment process ends.

[0113] For example, in the present disclosure, if an unrecognizable device or adaptation fails during the adaptation process, a clear error message can be immediately displayed on the client to help users quickly locate the problem. The error log is recorded in detail, including the time of occurrence, error type, device information, etc., so that technicians can analyze the cause and fix the problem later. At the same time, a detailed user manual and online help resources can also be provided to guide users to correctly connect the device and efficiently use the set-top box adaptation function.
