Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of set-top box technology, specifically to a multi-functional collaborative control smart set-top box and method. Background Technology

[0002] With the deep integration of digital television technology, internet technology, and artificial intelligence technology, users' demands for home entertainment terminals have evolved from simply playing television programs to a comprehensive service demand integrating video-on-demand, intelligent interaction, multi-terminal linkage, smart home control, and network services. Currently, most smart set-top boxes on the market suffer from problems such as limited functionality, poor interactive experience, weak multi-device collaboration capabilities, sluggish control system response, and poor compatibility, failing to meet users' core demands for diversified, intelligent, and convenient home entertainment and control. Simultaneously, the widespread adoption of 5G networks and the emergence of new content formats such as ultra-high-definition video and AR / VR place higher demands on the hardware performance, software compatibility, and stability of the control system of smart set-top boxes. Based on this, the development of a "method supporting multi-functional smart set-top boxes and control systems" was initiated to create a smart set-top box and its supporting control system that integrates multi-scenario functions, possesses efficient control capabilities, and is compatible with multiple terminals and protocols, filling the gaps in existing products, improving user experience, and adapting to the trend of home intelligence development. However, existing smart set-top box products still have many technical defects, failing to meet users' diversified needs, with various functions being fragmented and unable to form an integrated solution.

[0003] Patent CN108259960 discloses a system for simultaneously controlling a set-top box and a smart TV. This solution enables collaborative control of both devices, simplifying the user's operation process by unifying the control device and solving the cumbersome problem of users having to operate two separate remote controls in traditional scenarios.

[0004] However, this solution has obvious technical limitations: the coverage of collaborative control is extremely narrow, supporting only set-top boxes and smart TVs, and cannot be adapted to the large number of heterogeneous smart home devices in the home scenario, nor can it meet the collaborative management and control needs of multiple types of devices; the solution only focuses on local device control and does not involve data cloud and remote operation and maintenance functions, and cannot realize remote management of devices and cloud interaction of data, resulting in serious lack of functional scalability.

[0005] Patent CN107529076B discloses a method, system, and storage device for remote control of a set-top box. This solution enables remote control of the set-top box, supports maintenance personnel to operate the set-top box remotely, reduces the cost of on-site maintenance to a certain extent, and solves the problem of low efficiency in traditional set-top box maintenance requiring on-site manual operation.

[0006] However, this solution also has significant drawbacks: it focuses on a single maintenance target, only remotely controlling the set-top box itself, and cannot perform unified remote maintenance on various terminal devices connected to the set-top box, nor can it achieve full lifecycle management of heterogeneous terminals in the home; the solution does not perform lightweight processing on the transmitted data, and a large amount of raw data is directly transmitted and uploaded, resulting in excessive network bandwidth consumption, high pressure on cloud storage, high data transmission latency, and inability to achieve efficient data uploading and interaction to the cloud.

[0007] Patent CN120856592A discloses a home cloud computing method and system based on a set-top box. This solution uses the set-top box as a home edge node, which is responsible for receiving the operating data of smart home appliances and interacting with the cloud computing management server. It establishes a dynamic uploading mechanism for home appliance data, which improves the efficiency of cloud processing of home data to a certain extent.

[0008] However, this solution still has many shortcomings: it does not perform lightweight processing on the uploaded data, and uploading the raw data directly leads to excessive network bandwidth consumption and large transmission latency, especially when multiple devices upload data concurrently, which can easily cause network congestion; the solution does not achieve collaborative control of multiple devices and remote operation and maintenance throughout the entire lifecycle, and cannot achieve integrated integration of various functions, so users still need to deploy additional devices to realize collaborative control and operation and maintenance functions, which increases the user's deployment costs and complexity.

[0009] In summary, existing smart set-top boxes often only have a single function, and these functions are isolated from each other, failing to form an integrated solution. This forces users to deploy multiple devices to achieve the corresponding functions, increasing user costs and deployment complexity. Furthermore, it fails to achieve synergy between the functions and cannot fully leverage the set-top box's role as a core node in the home. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a multi-functional collaborative control smart set-top box, including a housing 1, a support component 2 installed at the bottom of the housing 1, and a main control module 3, a multi-protocol access module 4, a power supply module 5, a data lightweight processing module 6, a remote operation and maintenance module 7, a collaborative control module 8, and a multi-link communication module 9 installed inside the housing 1.

[0040] The multi-protocol access module 4 is electrically connected to the main control module 3. The power supply module 5 is electrically connected to the main control module 3, the multi-protocol access module 4, the data lightweight processing module 6, the remote operation and maintenance module 7, the collaborative control module 8, and the multi-link communication module 9. The data lightweight processing module 6 is connected to the main control module 3. The remote operation and maintenance module 7 is connected to the main control module 3. The collaborative control module 8 is connected to the main control module 3. The multi-link communication module 9 is connected to the main control module 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the hardware module of the smart set-top box with multi-functional collaborative control is specifically designed as follows: The main control module 3 uses a high-performance processor with ARM Cortex-A76 architecture, with a main frequency of up to 2.0GHz. It integrates the national cryptographic SM4 security encryption module, and is equipped with 4GB LPDDR4X memory and 64GB eMMC storage chip to meet the needs of multi-task parallel processing and data caching. It can ensure that the CPU utilization rate is ≤50% and the memory usage is ≤60% under full load, and the continuous fault-free operation time is ≥1000 hours.

[0042] The multi-protocol access module 4 integrates a Modbus / Profinet industrial bus interface, a Wi-Fi 6 RF module, a Bluetooth 5.2 module, a Gigabit Ethernet interface, and an HDMI 2.1 interface. It can simultaneously support the access of 32 heterogeneous terminal devices, including smart lights, air conditioners, temperature and humidity sensors, smart TVs, and speakers. It supports hot-swapping of devices, and the automatic identification time of connected devices is ≤1 second.

[0043] The lightweight data processing module 6 integrates a dedicated data processing DSP chip, which can realize parallel data preprocessing. For structured data such as temperature, humidity and equipment status, it adopts the LZ4 lossless compression algorithm, and for unstructured data such as audio, video and logs, it adopts the H.265 adaptive lossy compression algorithm, dynamically adjusting the compression ratio to achieve a high compression rate and ensure the accuracy of core data transmission.

[0044] The remote operation and maintenance module 7 integrates a status monitoring unit, which can collect parameters such as CPU usage, memory usage, operating temperature and working status of set-top boxes and access terminals in real time. It supports remote SSH login, remote parameter configuration, OTA program upgrade and remote fault reset. It also supports local storage and cloud synchronization of operation and maintenance logs, with a log storage capacity of up to 100,000 records, which greatly shortens the fault detection and response time.

[0045] The collaborative control module 8 integrates a scene strategy parsing unit, with 12 built-in default scene strategies such as movie watching, sleep, and leaving home. It also supports user-defined scene strategies and can automatically generate collaborative control commands for multiple devices based on a single user command. For example, when a user triggers the movie watching mode, it can automatically send commands to turn off the living room lights, dim the TV brightness to 70%, turn on the audio equipment, and switch the air conditioner to comfort mode, achieving one-click scene linkage.

[0046] The multi-link communication module 9 integrates a 5G module, a 4G module, a Wi-Fi module, and a wired Ethernet module. It monitors the signal strength, transmission rate, and packet loss rate of each link in real time. When the packet loss rate of the current link exceeds 5% or the transmission rate is lower than 10Mbps, it automatically switches to other available links. The link switching response time is ≤200ms, and there is no data loss during the switching process, ensuring the continuity of communication.

[0047] The support assembly 2 includes a base 10, with a rotating component 11 fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 10. The upper end of the rotating component 11 is rotatably connected to a connector 13 via a damping shaft 12. Two sliders 14 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the connector 13. Two guide rails 15 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1. The two sliders 14 are respectively inserted into the two guide rails 15. An anti-slip pad 16 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the base 10. In use, the support assembly 2 is installed by inserting the sliders 14 into the two guide rails 15. By deflecting the connector 13 and the rotating component 11, the height and orientation of the set-top box can be flexibly adjusted, improving the flexibility of the set-top box and allowing the bottom of the set-top box to be suspended, thus improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the set-top box.

[0048] The multi-protocol access module 4 supports at least one of the following communication protocols: Modbus, Profinet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, Ethernet, and HDMI-CEC. It can simultaneously connect no fewer than 30 heterogeneous terminal devices and supports hot-swapping of devices, thereby increasing the number of multi-terminal connections to the set-top box.

[0049] The adaptive compression processing of the data lightweight processing module 6 uses a lossless compression algorithm for structured data and a lossy compression algorithm for unstructured data, which greatly improves the data compression rate, reduces data transmission latency after lightweighting, and improves the accuracy of core data transmission.

[0050] The remote operation and maintenance module 7 is connected to the operation and maintenance log storage unit 17, and the operation and maintenance log storage unit 17 is connected to the cloud synchronization unit 18, which can significantly reduce the fault response time.

[0051] The rotating component 11 includes a mounting cylinder 19 fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 10. The inner wall of the mounting cylinder 19 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 20 via a bearing. The upper end of the rotating shaft 20 is fixedly connected to a support frame 21. The damping shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 21. By rotating the rotating shaft 20 relative to the mounting cylinder 19, the set-top box can be driven to deflect, thereby allowing for flexible adjustment of the orientation of the set-top box.

[0052] A control method for a multi-functional collaborative control smart set-top box includes the following steps: S1. Automatically identify and connect heterogeneous terminal devices in the home network through a multi-protocol access module 4, and establish a device list and communication connection; S2. Preprocess the collected terminal device operation data and set-top box local data through a data lightweight processing module 6, remove abnormal and duplicate data, and adaptively compress the data according to the data type to obtain lightweight data; S3. Upload the lightweight data to the cloud platform through a multi-link communication module 9, and simultaneously receive maintenance instructions or control instructions issued by the cloud; S4. Perform remote status monitoring, parameter configuration, program upgrade, or fault handling on the set-top box and connected terminal devices according to the maintenance instructions from the cloud, and issue multi-channel alarms when a fault is detected through a remote maintenance module 7; S5. Generate collaborative control instructions according to user instructions or preset scenario strategies through a collaborative control module 8, and issue them to the corresponding terminal devices to achieve multi-device linkage control and status synchronization.

[0053] In step S2, data cleaning includes removing abnormal data that exceeds the normal range and removing duplicate data whose time interval is less than a preset threshold.

[0054] In S4, the multi-channel alarm push includes at least one of SMS, APP push and WeChat messages.

[0055] In S5, state synchronization includes updating the device status information of the set-top box in real time when the status of the control terminal device changes, and synchronizing it to the cloud platform to ensure consistency of status across multiple terminals.

[0056] In this embodiment, the specific process of the multi-functional collaborative control method is as follows: Step 1: After the set-top box starts, the multi-protocol access module 4 starts scanning, automatically identifying heterogeneous terminal devices in the home network. It can complete the access of a large number of devices in a short time, establish a device list and corresponding communication connections, and support hot-swapping of devices. When a new device is connected, it automatically completes identification and connection. Step 2: In the data acquisition stage, the set-top box collects the operating data of all terminal devices once per second, as well as the local operating parameters. The data lightweight processing module 6 first cleans the data, removing abnormal data that exceeds the normal range and duplicate data with an interval of less than 500ms. Then, it compresses the data according to the data type. Structured status data is compressed without loss, and unstructured log data is compressed adaptively. Finally, the 10MB of original data is compressed to 3MB, with a compression rate of 70%. Step 3: In the cloud-edge interaction phase, the multi-link communication module 9 detects that the current Wi-Fi link signal strength is good. It then uses the Wi-Fi link to upload lightweight data to the cloud platform in just 80ms, far below the preset 100ms threshold. Simultaneously, it receives commands from the cloud. When the user leaves, the Wi-Fi link is interrupted, and the module automatically switches to the 4G link in 150ms, with no data loss during the switch. Step 4: In the remote operation and maintenance phase, maintenance personnel issue commands through the cloud platform to remotely configure the set-top box parameters and adjust the operating parameters of one of the air conditioning units. During this process, the module detects that the operating temperature of one of the temperature and humidity sensors is too high and immediately sends alarms to the user and maintenance personnel via APP push and WeChat messages, with an alarm response time of 300ms. Simultaneously, the fault log is synchronized to the cloud. Step 5: In the collaborative control phase, the user sends a viewing mode command via mobile phone. The collaborative control module 8 parses the command, automatically matches the corresponding scene strategy, generates the corresponding collaborative control command, and sends it to the lighting, TV, audio and air conditioning equipment respectively. The status adjustment of all devices is completed within 1 second. At the same time, the status of all devices is synchronized to the local and cloud to ensure that the status of mobile phone, set-top box and cloud is completely consistent.

[0057] Working Principle: After the set-top box starts up, the multi-protocol access module 4 begins scanning, automatically identifying heterogeneous terminal devices in the home network. It can quickly connect a large number of devices, establishing a device list and corresponding communication connections, supporting hot-swapping of devices. When a new device connects, it automatically identifies and connects. The set-top box collects operating data from all terminal devices and local operating parameters every second. The lightweight data processing module 6 first cleans the data, removing abnormal data exceeding the normal range and duplicate data with intervals less than 500ms. Then, it compresses the data according to its type: structured status data uses lossless compression, and unstructured log data uses adaptive compression, ultimately compressing 10MB of original data to 3MB, achieving a compression rate of 70%. The multi-link communication module 9 detects that the current Wi-Fi link signal strength is good and uses the Wi-Fi link to upload lightweight data to the cloud platform. The upload time is only 80ms, far below the preset 100ms threshold. Simultaneously, it receives instructions from the cloud. When the user leaves, the Wi-Fi link is interrupted, and the module automatically switches to the 4G link in 150ms, with no data loss during the switch. Maintenance personnel remotely configure the set-top box parameters and adjust the operating parameters of one of the air conditioning units by issuing commands through the cloud platform. During this process, the module detects that the operating temperature of one of the temperature and humidity sensors is too high and immediately sends alarms to the user and maintenance personnel via APP push and WeChat message. The alarm response time is 300ms, and the fault log is synchronized to the cloud. The user sends a command to enter the movie viewing mode via mobile phone. The collaborative control module 8 parses the command, automatically matches the corresponding scene strategy, generates corresponding collaborative control commands, and sends them to the lighting, TV, audio, and air conditioning equipment respectively. The status adjustment of all devices is completed within 1 second, and the status of all devices is synchronized to the local and cloud to ensure that the status of the mobile phone, set-top box, and cloud is completely consistent.
