[0049] 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 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] Currently, common TV sets and set-top boxes in households usually need to be controlled separately using multiple remote controllers, or one remote controller switches to control the TV set and the set-top box separately, which causes complexity and inconvenience in user operation.

[0051] To this end, the present application provides an integrated control solution for a television and a set-top box, which can control the television and the set-top box through a single remote control, so that the remote control can achieve seamless interaction and information sharing with the television and the set-top box.

[0052] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for controlling a television set and a set-top box in an integrated manner. Figure 1 As shown, applied to a television, the method includes:

[0053] Step S11: receiving a control signal sent by a remote controller, and determining a control target corresponding to the control signal.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, a transmitter module is integrated inside the remote control, and the user issues commands by using the remote control, such as switching channels, adjusting volume, etc. The remote control encodes these commands and then sends the encoded control signals to the TV via infrared or wireless signals.

[0055] It should be noted that, since the present invention can realize the joint control of the television and the set-top box through a single remote controller, the remote controller integrates the function buttons of the television and the set-top box at the same time. Figure 2 The above is an exemplary functional block diagram of a remote control. In addition to the traditional buttons, the remote control has a new custom button. The custom button can be programmed as a macro button. When the user presses the custom button, the TV displays the macro programming editing interface. For example, a custom button can be pressed to directly turn on channel 05, volume 50, and brightness 50.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the remote control sends a control signal to a television set, and the television set receives the corresponding control signal. The television set determines the control type of the control signal through a defined communication protocol, that is, determines the current control type by determining the control target corresponding to the control type.

[0057] Step S12: If the control signal is used to control the television, a first control instruction is determined according to the control signal, and the first control instruction is executed.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, if the control target is a television, the control signal is a control signal for controlling the television. After receiving the control signal, the television will process the control signal by itself because the control signal is for controlling the television.

[0059] The receiving module inside the TV decodes the control signal, identifies the user's instruction, and executes the first control instruction determined according to the current control signal, thereby realizing control of the TV.

[0060] Step S13: If the control signal is used to control a set-top box, data conversion is performed on the control signal to generate a second control instruction, and the second control instruction is sent to the set-top box through a universal multimedia interface so that the set-top box executes the second control instruction.

[0061] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, a GPMI (Generic Peripheral Management Interface) interface is integrated on the TV and the set-top box. If the control target is a set-top box, the control signal is a control signal for controlling the set-top box. The control signal is forwarded to the set-top box for processing via GPMI.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, a GPMI communication protocol is defined, and the control signal is converted into a second control instruction that can be forwarded between the TV set and the set-top box, and the second control instruction is sent to the set-top box using the GPMI interface. The set-top box receives the corresponding instruction through the GPMI interface, decodes and parses the second control instruction, and then executes it, thereby realizing the control of the set-top box. In this way, through GPMI communication, the TV set and the set-top box can quickly and stably transmit information to each other.

[0063] like Figure 3 The figure shows an exemplary schematic diagram of an integrated remote control system for a TV and a set-top box based on GPMI communication, which introduces a new GPMI communication protocol to achieve data transmission and control command interaction between the remote control and the TV and the set-top box. Figure 4 The figure shows a specific system operation flow diagram. After the user uses the remote control to send a control signal, the control signal is judged by the TV; if it is a TV control command, the TV response signal is processed by itself; if it is a set-top box control command, the command is forwarded to the set-top box through GPMI, and the set-top box response signal is processed. Finally, after executing the corresponding control command, the corresponding control result is displayed on the TV. In this way, the TV and the set-top box are controlled by a single remote control, so that the remote control can interact seamlessly with the TV and the set-top box and share information. While improving the user's operating convenience, the number of remote controls and receivers is reduced, which reduces the user's learning cost.

[0064] The present application provides an integrated control method for a television and a set-top box, which is applied to a television, and includes: receiving a control signal sent by a remote control, and determining a control target corresponding to the control signal; if the control signal is used to control the television, determining a first control instruction according to the control signal, and executing the first control instruction; if the control signal is used to control the set-top box, performing data conversion on the control signal to generate a second control instruction, and sending the second control instruction to the set-top box through a universal multimedia interface so that the set-top box executes the second control instruction.

[0065] The beneficial technical effects of the present application are as follows: after the TV receives the control signal sent by the remote control, it determines the corresponding control type; if it is a control signal for controlling the TV, the TV processes the control command by itself; if it is a control signal for controlling the set-top box, after the control signal is processed, the control command is forwarded to the set-top box for processing through the universal multimedia interface. It can be seen that after the introduction of the new universal multimedia interface communication protocol, the integrated control of the TV and the set-top box is realized. The user only needs to use one remote control to control the TV and the set-top box, avoiding the confusion caused by multiple remote controls. In addition, the remote control can seamlessly interact and share information with the TV and the set-top box, improving the user's operating convenience, while reducing the number of remote controls and the number of receivers, and reducing the user's learning cost.

[0066] In a specific implementation, the user issues a third control instruction using a remote controller, and the remote controller encodes the instruction to generate a control signal. Specifically, the control signal is packaged by using a first packet header, a first length, a control type, a first command, a first data, and a first checksum.

[0067] Table 1 shows the control signal packaging method:

[0068] Table 1

[0069]

[0070] Further, such as Figure 5 The figure shows a flow chart of receiving a control signal through a TV. When the TV receives the control signal, it determines whether the packet header is correct. When the packet header is correct, it finds the check code at the end of the packet according to the field corresponding to the packet length for local check; when the local check is consistent with the check code of the received packet, it reads the command code therein, reads the data according to the command code, determines the control target corresponding to the control signal, and identifies the specific instructions therein. Specifically, the process of receiving the control signal sent by the remote control and determining the control target corresponding to the control signal specifically includes the following steps:

[0071] receiving a control signal generated by encoding the third control instruction by the remote controller, and decoding the control signal to determine a first packaging mode of the control signal;

[0072] When it is determined that the first packet header is correct based on the first packet grouping mode, locating the first checksum according to the first length, and performing local verification using the first checksum;

[0073] After the local verification is passed, the control target corresponding to the control signal is determined according to the control type.

[0074] It should be noted that the present invention develops corresponding control logic and software algorithms so that when a button is pressed on the remote control, it can identify and send control instructions to the corresponding device. In the first group package mode, commands and data have different combinations, and different combinations are used to represent different control instructions. Table 2 shows different command and data combinations:

[0075] Table 2

[0076]

[0077] The input source can be switched to any terminal connected to the TV, and the remote control commands can control the corresponding terminal devices according to different input sources.

[0078] In a specific implementation, if the control signal is used to control the TV, the combination of the first command and the first data in the control signal is determined; the first control instruction is determined according to the combination, and the first control instruction is executed. It can be seen that when the control signal is used to control the TV, the control signal is parsed to determine the combination of the command and data fields therein, and then the specific control instruction is determined; the TV processes it according to the specific control instruction. It can be understood that when the control target is a TV, the third control instruction is the same as the first control instruction.

[0079] In a specific implementation manner, if the control signal is used to control a set-top box, the process of performing data conversion on the control signal to generate a second control instruction specifically includes:

[0080] If the control signal is used to control a set-top box, the third control instruction obtained after decoding the control signal is encoded into a target data format adapted to the universal multimedia interface, so as to generate the second control instruction based on the target data format.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, after the TV parses the signal, if it needs to control the set-top box (for example, switch to a specific channel), the instruction therein is encoded into a data format suitable for the GPMI communication protocol. Specifically, the second control instruction is packaged by using a second packet header, a second length, a custom protocol version, a target device address, a second command, a second data, and a second checksum.

[0082] Table 3 shows the packaging method of the second control instruction:

[0083] Table 3

[0084]

[0085] The device address is used to identify the recipient of the message, and the device determines whether to receive and process the message based on it. The custom protocol version can specify the protocol version used by this message. If the version upgrade function is expanded and the protocol is upgraded in the future, the device can determine compatibility based on the protocol version.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, the TV sends the second control instruction to the set-top box through the GPMI interface. Figure 6 The figure shows a flow chart of processing the second control instruction. After the TV receives the remote control signal data sent by the remote control, it determines whether the signal type is to control the TV. If so, the corresponding signal command segment is directly executed according to the specific instruction determined after parsing; otherwise, the control target is determined to be a set-top box by the signal type. Further, the MAC (Media Access Control Address) address of the set-top box is obtained to determine the device address corresponding to the target device in the bus. Then, the second control instruction is encoded according to the packaging method, and the instruction is forwarded through the GPMI interface. It should be pointed out that in the process of forwarding the instruction, if the timeout instruction is not responded, the data is resent until the instruction is responded.

[0087] Furthermore, the set-top box receives the second control instruction sent by the TV through the GPMI interface, and the set-top box parses the instruction and performs a corresponding operation (for example, switching channels, playing videos, etc.). Specifically, the process of sending the second control instruction to the set-top box through the general multimedia interface so that the set-top box executes the second control instruction specifically includes the following steps:

[0088] Sending the second control instruction to the set-top box through a universal multimedia interface, so that the set-top box decodes the second control instruction to determine a second packaging mode of the second control instruction;

[0089] When it is determined based on the second packet grouping mode that the device address of the set-top box itself is consistent with the target device address in the second control instruction, locating the second checksum according to the second length through the set-top box, and performing local verification using the second checksum;

[0090] After the local verification is passed, the second control instruction is executed through the set-top box according to the second command and the second data.

[0091] like Figure 7The figure shows the parsing process of the set-top box receiving the message. First, the GPMI is initialized to determine whether the GPMI bus is open; after the GPMI bus is opened, it is determined whether data is received on the GPMI bus; when data is received, the second control instruction is parsed, the packet header (message header) is parsed, the device address in the message, that is, the address of the set-top box contained in the message is determined, and the address is matched and judged with the actual device address of the device, and the length of the message is further obtained when they are consistent; the check code at the end of the packet is found according to the message length for local verification; when the local verification passes, the command and data in the packet are obtained according to the second packet grouping method, and the response packet is grouped according to the current command and data, and then the response packet is sent through the GPMI bus, and the corresponding command is executed according to the response packet through the set-top box.

[0092] In a feasible implementation, the set-top box needs to provide feedback after executing the control command and display the corresponding control result through the TV. Therefore, the set-top box and the TV can also transmit other audio, video and communication data through GPMI. Specifically:

[0093] The command operation result transmitted back in the form of audio and video after the set-top box executes the second control command is obtained through the universal multimedia interface to obtain audio and video data, and the audio and video data is displayed in the form of animation.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the GPMI interface not only transmits control commands, but also transmits audio and video data at the same time. The set-top box transmits the command operation results back to the TV through audio and video data for display. The TV receives the audio and video data and displays the corresponding content on the screen.

[0095] Specifically, the audio and video data is packaged by using a third packet header, a third length, a custom protocol version, a target device address, a data format, a data type, a third data, and a third checksum. Table 4 shows the package method of the audio and video data:

[0096] Table 4

[0097]

[0098] like Figure 8The figure shows the interactive flow diagram of the audio and video data transfer between the TV and the set-top box and the corresponding display control results through the TV. If the control signal is used to control the TV, the TV processes it by itself and displays the corresponding control results through the TV. That is, if the TV responds, the TV calls the built-in UI (UserInterface) to generate audio and video data, obtains the audio and video data of the program played on its own TV, and uses a stereo algorithm to display the animation in three dimensions on the upper screen after fusing it with the audio and video data of the remote control. If the set-top box responds, communication is carried out through GPMI, and further judgment is made on whether the data type is a remote control animation according to the packaging method of the audio and video data; if so, the validity of the data is further judged; if the data is valid, the audio and video data of the remote control is further obtained, and then the audio and video data of the set-top box remote control is merged with the audio and video data played on the TV itself, and finally the animation is displayed in three dimensions on the upper screen using a stereo algorithm.

[0099] Specifically, the process of displaying the audio and video data in the form of animation includes: determining remote control animation data and program data according to the data type; fusing the remote control animation data with the program data to generate fused data, and displaying the fused data in the form of animation using a stereo algorithm. It can be seen that the remote control instructions will eventually be displayed in the form of animation, which reduces the user's learning cost and the complexity of operation, and optimizes the user experience.

[0100] Correspondingly, the embodiment of the present application also discloses a TV set and set-top box integrated control device, see Fig. 9 As shown, the device is applied to a television set, and comprises:

[0101] The signal receiving module 11 is used to receive a control signal sent by the remote controller and determine a control target corresponding to the control signal;

[0102] A television control module 12, configured to determine a first control instruction according to the control signal and execute the first control instruction if the control signal is used to control the television;

[0103] The set-top box control module 13 is used to perform data conversion on the control signal to generate a second control instruction if the control signal is used to control the set-top box, and send the second control instruction to the set-top box through a universal multimedia interface so that the set-top box executes the second control instruction.

[0104] Among them, for more specific working processes of the above-mentioned modules, please refer to the corresponding contents disclosed in the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0105] It can be seen that the above scheme of this embodiment is applied to a television, including: receiving a control signal sent by a remote control, and determining a control target corresponding to the control signal; if the control signal is used to control the television, determining a first control instruction according to the control signal, and executing the first control instruction; if the control signal is used to control a set-top box, performing data conversion on the control signal to generate a second control instruction, and sending the second control instruction to the set-top box through a universal multimedia interface so that the set-top box executes the second control instruction.

[0106] The beneficial technical effects of the present application are as follows: after the TV receives the control signal sent by the remote control, it determines the corresponding control type; if it is a control signal for controlling the TV, the TV processes the control command by itself; if it is a control signal for controlling the set-top box, after the control signal is processed, the control command is forwarded to the set-top box for processing through the universal multimedia interface. It can be seen that after the introduction of the new universal multimedia interface communication protocol, the integrated control of the TV and the set-top box is realized. The user only needs to use one remote control to control the TV and the set-top box, avoiding the confusion caused by multiple remote controls. In addition, the remote control can seamlessly interact and share information with the TV and the set-top box, improving the user's operating convenience, while reducing the number of remote controls and the number of receivers, and reducing the user's learning cost.
