[0043] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The step numbers in the following embodiments are only for ease of explanation and do not limit the order of the steps. The execution order of each step in the embodiments can be adapted according to the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0044] It should be noted that although functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the module division in the device or the order in the flowchart. The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and the foregoing drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0045] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0046] The following explains some of the technical terms used in this embodiment.

[0047] IPTV (Interactive Personality TV) is a new way of watching television that is based on broadband high-speed IP networks, uses network video resources as the main body, and uses televisions, personal computers and handheld devices as display terminals. It connects to the broadband network through set-top boxes or computers to realize digital television, time-shifted television and interactive television services.

[0048] APK (Android application package) is an application package file format used by the Android operating system for distributing and installing mobile applications and middleware.

[0049] SDK stands for Software Development Kit, also known as a development kit or development toolkit. An SDK typically consists of one or more software development tools used to help developers create, test, and deploy software applications. SDKs provide basic functions and interfaces, enabling developers to quickly build applications and improve development efficiency. SDKs offer ready-made tools and libraries, simplifying the development process and allowing developers to focus more on implementing business logic. SDKs usually support multiple platforms, such as operating systems, game consoles, and mobile devices, enabling developers to easily develop cross-platform applications. SDKs typically provide detailed documentation and examples to help developers better understand and use the SDK, reducing development difficulty and error rates. SDKs provide testing and debugging tools, enabling developers to better test and debug applications, thereby improving application quality.

[0050] HID (Hardware Instant Address) is a USB-based communication protocol used for data transfer between different devices. It defines a standard data format, command structure, and transmission method, ensuring that input devices from different manufacturers are recognized and compatible with the operating system. Since HID devices are typically connected via a USB interface, they are implemented using this interface. In HID, devices send a series of reports to the computer describing their status and user actions. Based on these reports, the device identifies other devices and responds appropriately to user actions.

[0051] PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet) is a network tunneling protocol that encapsulates the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) within the Ethernet framework. Because it integrates PPP, it provides authentication, encryption, and compression features that traditional Ethernet cannot offer. It can also be used in cable modems and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) systems that provide access services to users via Ethernet. Once the two parties in the connection know each other's MAC addresses, a PPP session is established.

[0052] IPoE (IP over Ethernet) uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) technology as its core and closely integrates with the common RADIUS (Remote User Dial-up Authentication Protocol) to implement a broadband access authentication system that includes IP user session mechanisms, IP data stream hierarchical mechanisms, and IP session authentication and management mechanisms.

[0053] IPoE and PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) are both access authentication technologies, but they differ significantly in their working principles and application scenarios. Traditional PPPoE requires user equipment to install client software, resulting in lower access efficiency and weaker support for multicast performance. In contrast, IPoE does not require client software, offers higher access efficiency, and provides better support for multicast performance, making it suitable for high-bandwidth access methods and diverse internet services.

[0054] The ITV (Internet Television) interface is specifically designed for connecting ITV set-top boxes. The ITV interface is primarily used to connect to ITV network television services. After subscribing to this service, users can watch ITV network television through the ITV port of the optical modem or by connecting to an ITV set-top box.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an IPTV network control system based on a private network connector. The network control system includes a television terminal, a public network terminal, a private network connector, a network device for broadband Internet Audiovisual Service (ITV), and a server for broadband Internet Audiovisual Service (ITV). The private network connector includes one USB port and two network ports. The television terminal includes one USB port and two network ports. The USB port of the private network connector is connected to the USB port of the television terminal. One network port of the private network connector is connected to one network port of the television terminal. The other network port of the private network connector is connected to the network device for broadband Internet Audiovisual Service. The network device for broadband Internet Audiovisual Service is connected to the server for broadband Internet Audiovisual Service. The other network port of the television terminal is connected to the public network.

[0056] See Figure 2 The TV terminal has a soft terminal APK installed, which integrates a private network connector SDK. The TV application runs on this soft terminal. The private network connector's runtime program includes a USB protocol control layer, an MCU OS, a network module, a data storage module, and a version management module. The network module includes IPOE and PPPoE, the data storage module includes a flash data read / write module, and the version management module includes upgrade and recovery functions. The private network connector device communicates and interacts with the TV terminal via the USB protocol.

[0057] See Figure 3This invention provides an IPTV network control method based on a private network connector. The private network connector connects the television terminal and the network equipment for the broadband internet audio-visual service. The network equipment for the broadband internet audio-visual service connects to the server of the broadband internet audio-visual service. The television terminal is connected to a public network. The network control method is applied to the television terminal and includes:

[0058] S110, Application starts, sends a device information acquisition command to the private network connector to obtain the device information of the private network connector;

[0059] S120. Send an online command to the private network connector according to the device information, so that the private network connector can send the account information of the TV terminal to the server of the broadband Internet audio-visual service for authentication through the network equipment of the broadband Internet audio-visual service, and obtain the authentication result of the account information of the TV terminal.

[0060] S130. Obtain the authentication result of the account information on the TV terminal, and control the network connection between the TV terminal and the private network connector and the public network based on the authentication result; wherein the TV terminal maintains a network connection with either the private network connector or the public network.

[0061] Specifically, firstly, after the application on the TV's soft terminal is activated, the TV sends a device information acquisition command to the private network connector to obtain the device information of the private network connector. The device information represents the relevant information for establishing a connection between the private network connector and the TV. Then, the TV sends an online command to the private network connector based on the device information. After receiving the online command, the private network connector sends the TV's account information to the server of the broadband internet audio-visual service for authentication through the network equipment of the broadband internet audio-visual service. The server of the broadband internet audio-visual service then returns the authentication result of the TV's account information, which includes whether the authentication passed or failed. The server of the broadband internet audio-visual service stores account information of multiple TVs. Finally, the TV receives the authentication result of the TV's account information sent by the private network connector and controls the network connection between the TV, the private network connector, and the public network based on the authentication result. The TV maintains a network connection with one of the private network connectors or the public network, while disconnecting from the other.

[0062] It should be noted that the account information on the TV can be stored internally by the private network connector or sent by the TV. The account information on the TV is determined according to the actual application and includes, but is not limited to, the account name and password.

[0063] See Figure 4 Based on the authentication results, control the network connection between the TV terminal and the private network connector and the public network, including:

[0064] S131. If the authentication result is successful, control the TV terminal to disconnect from the public network and control the TV terminal to establish a network connection with the private network connector.

[0065] S132. If the authentication result is that the authentication fails, control the TV terminal to disconnect the network connection from the private network connector and control the TV terminal to establish a network connection with the public network.

[0066] Specifically, if the authentication result is successful, it means that the account information on the TV is correct. First, the TV is disconnected from the public network, and then the TV is connected to the private network connector. If the authentication result is unsuccessful, it means that the account information on the TV is incorrect. First, the TV is disconnected from the private network connector, and then the TV is connected to the public network.

[0067] Optionally, the network control method further includes:

[0068] S140. Application shutdown: Send a disconnect command to the private network connector based on the device information to disconnect the private network connector from the network connection of the TV.

[0069] Specifically, after the application on the soft terminal is closed, it sends a disconnect command to the private network connector based on the device information. After receiving the disconnect command, the control module of the private network connector disconnects the network connection between the private network connector and the TV.

[0070] Optionally, the network control method further includes:

[0071] S111. If the application is launched for the first time, the account information input interface on the TV is displayed, and the account information on the TV is obtained through the input interface.

[0072] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 After the software terminal on the TV is correctly installed, when the software terminal APK application is opened for the first time, the application will pop up configuration data such as dialing method, network settings, IPTV account and password input boxes. The configuration data will be sent to the control module of the private network connector via USB, including account information and command information. Currently supported commands include account information acquisition, network online, network offline, heartbeat packet retention, set / get configuration and acquisition of user information, and upgrade command for firmware upgrade.

[0073] See Figure 8This invention provides an IPTV network control method based on a private network connector. The private network connector connects the television terminal and the network equipment for broadband internet audio-visual services. The network equipment for broadband internet audio-visual services connects to the server for broadband internet audio-visual services, and the television terminal connects to a public network. The network control method is applied to the private network connector and includes:

[0074] S210: Obtain the device information acquisition instruction sent by the TV terminal, and send the device information of the private network connector to the TV terminal according to the device information acquisition instruction;

[0075] S220. Obtain the online instruction sent by the TV terminal, and according to the online instruction, send the account information of the TV terminal to the server of the broadband internet audio-visual service through the network equipment of the broadband internet audio-visual service for authentication, and obtain the authentication result of the account information of the TV terminal.

[0076] S230. Send the authentication result of the account information on the TV terminal to the TV terminal so that the TV terminal can control the network connection between the TV terminal and the private network connector and the public network according to the authentication result; wherein the TV terminal maintains a network connection with either the private network connector or the public network.

[0077] Specifically, firstly, the control module of the private network connector receives a device information acquisition command sent by the TV terminal, and sends the device information of the private network connector to the TV terminal according to the device information acquisition command. Then, the private network connector receives an online command sent by the TV terminal, and sends the TV terminal's account information to the network device of the broadband internet audio-visual service according to the online command. The network device of the broadband internet audio-visual service sends the TV terminal's account information to the server of the broadband internet audio-visual service for authentication. The server of the broadband internet audio-visual service sends the authentication result of the TV terminal's account information to the private network connector through the network device of the broadband internet audio-visual service. Finally, the private network connector sends the authentication result of the TV terminal's account information to the TV terminal, so that the TV terminal can control the network connection between the TV terminal and the private network connector and the public network according to the authentication result. The TV terminal maintains a network connection with either the private network connector or the public network.

[0078] Optionally, the network control method further includes:

[0079] S221. Obtain and save the account information from the TV terminal.

[0080] After receiving the account information sent by the TV, the private network connector stores it in the device through the data storage module, ensuring data integrity. Upon receiving the online command, the control module of the private network connector checks if the current dialing method and account information exist. If they do, the connector automatically establishes a network connection with the TV and uses the existing account information to make the dialing connection. If they do not exist, the control module notifies the soft terminal to pop up a window for inputting the username, password, and dialing method.

[0081] Optionally, the network control method further includes:

[0082] S240. Obtain upgrade instructions and upgrade files, and upgrade the private network connector according to the upgrade instructions and upgrade files.

[0083] The private network connector receives upgrade commands and upgrade files from the TV terminal, and then upgrades itself according to these commands and files. Similarly, the TV terminal can also restore the firmware of the private network connector.

[0084] See Figure 9 This paper illustrates the process of IPTV network control based on a private network connector using a specific embodiment.

[0085] First, the user opens the soft terminal on the TV. The TV sends a device information retrieval command to the private network connector. The private network connector then sends device information to the TV, such as SN (Serial Number), MAC (Media Access Control Address), STBID (Set-top Box Identifier), and CTEI (Terminal Product Number). The TV then sends an online command to the private network connector based on the device information. Upon receiving the online command, the private network connector checks if the TV has account and password information. If not, it retrieves the account and password information through the TV's input interface. The private network connector then uses PPPoE / IPoE to dial into the ITV server via the ITV network device. The ITV server authenticates the dial-up connection and sends the authentication result back to the private network connector. The private network connector forwards the authentication result to the TV. The TV then controls the network connection between the TV, the patented connector, and the public network terminal based on the authentication result.

[0086] Implementing this embodiment of the invention has the following beneficial effects: In this embodiment, the dedicated network connector connects the TV terminal and the network equipment of the broadband internet audio-visual service. The network equipment of the broadband internet audio-visual service connects to the server of the broadband internet audio-visual service, and the TV terminal connects to the public network. After the application is started, the TV terminal sends a device information acquisition command to the dedicated network connector to obtain the device information of the dedicated network connector, and sends an online command to the dedicated network connector according to the device information. The dedicated network connector sends the account information of the TV terminal to the server of the broadband internet audio-visual service through the network equipment of the broadband internet audio-visual service for authentication, and obtains the authentication result of the account information of the TV terminal. The TV terminal receives the authentication result of the account information of the TV terminal sent by the dedicated network connector, and controls the network connection between the TV terminal and the dedicated network connector and the public network according to the authentication result. The TV terminal maintains a network connection with one of the dedicated network connector or the public network, thereby realizing automatic switching between the TV terminal and the IPTV dedicated network or the public network, simplifying the operation steps and improving the switching speed.

Furthermore, as is known to those skilled in the art, communication media typically contain computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in modulated data signals such as carrier waves or other transmission mechanisms, and may include any information delivery medium.

[0097] Specifically, see Figure 11The computer device 1100 may include an RF (Radio Frequency) circuit 1110, a memory 1120 including one or more computer-readable storage media, an input unit 1130, a display unit 1140, a sensor 1150, an audio circuit 1160, a short-range wireless transmission module 1170, a processor 1180 including one or more processing cores, and a power supply 1190, among other components. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 11 The device structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the electronic device and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0098] RF circuit 1110 can be used for receiving and transmitting signals during information transmission or calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and hands it over to one or more processors 1180 for processing; additionally, it transmits uplink data to the base station.

Although Figure 11 RF circuit 1110 is shown, but it is understood that it is not a necessary component of device 1100 and can be omitted as needed without changing the nature of the invention.

[0100] Input unit 1130 can be used to receive input numerical or character information, and generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical, or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function control. Specifically, input unit 1130 may include touch-sensitive surface 1131 and other input devices 1132. Touch-sensitive surface 1131, also known as a touch display screen or touchpad, can collect touch operations by the user on or near it (such as operations by the user using a finger, stylus, or any suitable object or accessory on or near the touch-sensitive surface 1131), and drive the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. Optionally, touch-sensitive surface 1131 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the user's touch position and the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, sends it to processor 1180, and can receive and execute commands from processor 1180. In addition, the touch-sensitive surface 1131 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. Besides the touch-sensitive surface 1131, the input unit 1130 may also include other input devices 1132. Specifically, other input devices 1132 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control buttons, power buttons, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, and a joystick.

[0101] Display unit 1140 can be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user, as well as various graphical user interfaces for controlling 1100. These graphical user interfaces can be composed of graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof. Display unit 1140 may include display panel 1141, optionally configured as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), etc. Further, touch-sensitive surface 1131 may cover display panel 1141. When touch-sensitive surface 1131 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to processor 1180 to determine the type of touch event. Subsequently, processor 1180 provides corresponding visual output on display panel 1141 according to the type of touch event. Although in Figure 11 In this embodiment, the touch-sensitive surface 1131 and the display panel 1141 are implemented as two separate components to realize input and output functions. However, in some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface 1131 and the display panel 1141 can be integrated to realize input and output functions.

[0102] The computer device 1100 may also include at least one sensor 1150, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Specifically, the light sensor may include an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. The ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1141 according to the ambient light level, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1141 and / or backlight when the device 1100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, a gravity acceleration sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in various directions (generally three axes). When stationary, it can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity and can be used for applications that recognize the phone's posture (such as landscape / portrait switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition-related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc. Other sensors that the device 1100 may be equipped with, such as a gyroscope, barometer, hygrometer, thermometer, and infrared sensor, will not be described in detail here.

[0103] Audio circuitry 1160, speaker 1161, and microphone 1162 provide an audio interface between the user and device 1100. Audio circuitry 1160 converts received audio data into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to speaker 1161, where they are converted into sound signals for output. Conversely, microphone 1162 converts collected sound signals into electrical signals, which are received by audio circuitry 1160, converted back into audio data, and then processed by processor 1180 before being transmitted via RF circuitry 1110 to another control device, or output to memory 1120 for further processing. Audio circuitry 1160 may also include an earphone jack to facilitate communication between peripheral headphones and device 1100.

[0104] The short-range wireless transmission module 1170 can be a WIFI (wireless fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, or infrared module, etc. Device 1100 can transmit information with the wireless transmission module installed on the battle equipment via the short-range wireless transmission module 1170.

[0105] Processor 1180 is the control center of device 1100. It connects various parts of the control device via various interfaces and lines. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in memory 1120, and by calling data stored in memory 1120, it performs various functions of device 1100 and processes data, thereby providing overall monitoring of the control device. Optionally, processor 1180 may include one or more processing cores; optionally, processor 1180 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor, wherein the application processor mainly handles the operating system, user interface, and applications, and the modem processor mainly handles wireless communication. It is understood that the aforementioned modem processor may not be integrated into processor 1180.

[0106] The device 1100 also includes a power supply 1190 (such as a battery) to power various components. Preferably, the power supply can be logically connected to the processor 1180 through a power management system, thereby enabling functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system. The power supply 1190 may also include one or more DC or AC power supplies, recharging systems, power fault detection circuits, power converters or inverters, power status indicators, and other arbitrary components.

[0107] Although not shown, device 1100 may also include a camera, Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.
