Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, relate in particular to a kind of program request/live changing method, program request/live television service system, the method and set-top box of the request program request/live switching for set-top box for program request/live television service system.
Background technology
Demand (telecommunication) service, the system that is meant requires to carry out a kind of business that audio/video flow is play according to the broadcast program of unique user, the user can carry out alternately with system, and the broadcast by remote controller control program suspends, stops, operations such as F.F., rewind down, recovery broadcast.
Live broadcast service, be meant the while to the identical audio/video flow of a plurality of user's active push, the user can only watch program, can not control the broadcast of program, the user promptly uses remote controller that set-top box is switched to this channel using broadcasting service to go to toward needing to add certain broadcasting channel.
Switching between demand (telecommunication) service and the live broadcast service is meant that the user is watching request program but to want to see live program temporarily or watching programme televised live but to want to see the program request program temporarily, thereby the switching of carrying out between request program and programme televised live.
At present a kind of typical implementation structure of IPTV is as shown in Figure 1: the user use a teleswitch (1) operate, remote controller (1) and set-top box (2) radio communication, set-top box (2) links to each other with stream media system (3), from stream media system (3) request program, set-top box (2) links to each other with television set (4) by analog audio-video line (5), and television set (4) is used for the program that demonstration and player top box (2) are asked from stream media system (3).In set-top box (2), store Electronic Program Guide (EPG), in television set (4), show.When the user will watch program request or programme televised live, just by using a teleswitch at the enterprising line operate of EPG of demonstration.EPG is made up of a plurality of the rendition lists, generally is divided into multistage catalogue, and numerous program classifications is placed under the different directories, makes things convenient for the user to leaf through and searches.
The option that " program request " and " live " generally arranged on the EPG menu interface, the user goes up corresponding button by pressing remote controller (1), there is the corresponding instruction modular converter remote controller (1) inside, it converts the action that the user presses respective keys to corresponding instruction, launch by the reflector in the remote controller (1), receive by the receiver in the set-top box (2), receiver in the set-top box (2) receives the processing unit that sends set-top box inside after this instruction to, thereby send next step the menu interface that commands for controlling television set (4) display enters " program request " accordingly or " live ", if user's choosing is " live ", just need input to want the channel of seeing, if user's choosing is " program request ", will successively enter the catalogue of request program, and know to find the request program of wanting.According to prior art, if the user wants to switch to request program when watching programme televised live, need to release earlier programme televised live, enter the EPG menu interface, select " program request " option then, successively enter the catalogue of request program, play up to finding request program; Equally, when the user is watching request program, want to switch to programme televised live from request program, also to withdraw from request program earlier, enter the EPG menu interface, select " live " option, enter direct broadcast band, operate bothers very much, needs repeatedly press the button of remote controller.
Therefore, lack in the prior art a kind of make the user can be only on remote controller by a key, just can switch to programme televised live, or switch to request program from programme televised live from request program.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, one of purpose of the present invention provides a kind of technology, it make the user can be only on remote controller by a key, just can switch to programme televised live, or switch to request program from programme televised live from request program.
Solution of the present invention is: a kind of program request/live changing method for program request/live television service system, and it comprises:
Remote controller converts the input on the program request/live switching input block of remote controller to instruction and is transmitted into set-top box;
Set-top box judge current just in program request still just live;
If judge currently just in program request, then set-top box switches to the setting direct broadcast band to the stream media system request; If judge current just live, then set-top box switches to the request program of setting to the stream media system request under the situation of the request program that setting is arranged, and switches to the request program interface to the stream media system request under the situation of the request program that does not have to set;
Stream media system switches according to the request of set-top box.
By top method, when the user after the selection of having carried out program request/live switching on the remote controller, set-top box is received this instruction, if judge current just in program request, then switch to a direct broadcast band that configures and need not get back to the selection that the EPG menu interface carries out trouble to the stream media system request, if and judge current just live, then under the situation of the request program that setting is arranged, switch to the request program of setting and need not get back to the EPG menu interface and carry out reselecting of trouble, only under the situation of the request program that does not have to set, switch to the request program interface to the stream media system request to the stream media system request.Like this, it make the user can be only on remote controller by a key, just can switch to programme televised live, or switch to request program and need not get back to the EPG menu interface from programme televised live from request program.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, if described judge current just in program request then set-top box switches to the step of setting direct broadcast band to the stream media system request finishes by following: if judge currently just in program request, then set-top box is directly switch to the specific channel of predefined acquiescence to the stream media system request.That is to say, at this channel that is transformed into from program request to live process is default setting, such as being defaulted as channel 1 or 0, the user is dissatisfied behind this channel can change channel voluntarily if be converted to, but this mode still goes successively to select to economize some times than getting back to the EPG menu interface.
According to another embodiment of the invention, if described judge current just in program request then set-top box switches to the step of setting direct broadcast band to the stream media system request finishes by following: " channel of watching recently " pointer is set, prepare in the instruction of program request/live switching that set-top box response receives to the stream media system request of sending will be current live switch to program request before, renewal " channel of watching recently " pointer is in progress direct broadcast band; Receive the instruction of program request/live switching and judge the current sowing time of putting and work as set-top box, check whether " channel of watching recently " pointer is empty, if for sky then switch to the channel of " channel of watching recently " pointed, if for empty then switch to the specific channel of predefined acquiescence to the stream media system request to the stream media system request.
In this mode, last user can be noted from the live direct broadcast band of seeing a sowing time that changes into, get back to again from program request specifically then and just get back to originally from the live direct broadcast band of seeing a sowing time that changes into when live, because this direct broadcast band more likely is that the user wants to see than default channel, therefore, when the user exactly wants to get back to originally from live when changing the direct broadcast band of seeing a sowing time into, just need not change platform again, saved user's time again, made the user get back to live can getting back on the channel of wanting as far as possible to see afterwards.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, if described judge current just in program request then set-top box switches to the step of setting direct broadcast band to the stream media system request finishes by following: " favorite channel " pointer is set, should can be provided with in electronic program guide interface in advance by " favorite channel " pointer, and setting " channel of watching recently " pointer, prepare in the instruction of program request/live switching that set-top box response receives to the stream media system request of sending will be current live switch to program request before, renewal " channel of watching recently " pointer is in progress direct broadcast band; Receive the instruction of program request/live switching and judge the current sowing time of putting and work as set-top box, check whether the user is provided with " favorite channel " pointer, if be provided with " favorite channel " pointer then switch to the channel of " favorite channel " pointed to the stream media system request, if " favorite channel " pointer be not set then check whether " channel of watching recently " pointer is empty, if for sky then switch to the channel of " channel of watching recently " pointed, if for empty then switch to the specific channel of predefined acquiescence to the stream media system request to the stream media system request.
In this mode, be provided with " favorite channel " pointer, when the user changes into when live from program request, preferably get back to favorite channel, because being user's most probable, favorite channel wants the channel seen, if there is not favorite channel, select successively again " channel of watching recently " and " default channel ", like this, reduced the user again and changed the possibility of changing platform when live into from program request, make user's button as few as possible, saved user's time.
In a kind of preferred implementation, if described judging currently just having the request program that switches to setting under the situation of request program of setting to the stream media system request in live then set-top box, and the process that switches to the request program interface to the stream media system request under the situation of the request program that does not have to set is finished by following: " request program of watching recently " pointer is set, prepare in the instruction of program request/live switching that set-top box response receives to the stream media system request of sending current program request is switched to live before, renewal " request program of watching recently " pointer is in progress request program ID; And receive the instruction of program request/live switching and judge current just when live when set-top box, check whether " request program of watching recently " pointer is empty, if for sky then switch to the request program of " request program of watching recently " pointed, if for empty then switch to the request program interface of Electronic Program Guide to the stream media system request to the stream media system request.
In this mode, can change last user into seen when live request program from program request notes, then specifically from live get back to again just to get back to a sowing time originally from program request change the request program of being seen when live into, because the user changes into from program request and is just seeing this program when live, so its probably to be the user return again back most likely wanted to see program, therefore, reduced the probability of after the user returns again, changing platform once more.
In another embodiment, if described judging currently just having the request program that switches to setting under the situation of request program of setting to the stream media system request in live then set-top box, and the process that switches to the request program interface to the stream media system request under the situation of the request program that does not have to set is finished by following: " request program of watching recently " pointer is set, prepare in the instruction of program request/live switching that set-top box response receives to the stream media system request of sending current program request is switched to live before, renewal " request program of watching recently " pointer is in progress request program ID and playing progress rate; And receive the instruction of program request/live switching and judge current just when live when set-top box, check whether " request program of watching recently " pointer is empty, if for sky then switch to this playing progress rate of this request program of " request program of watching recently " pointed, if for empty then switch to the request program interface of Electronic Program Guide to the stream media system request to the stream media system request.
That is to say, " request program of watching recently " pointer has not only been put down in writing the user and has been changed the request program of watching when live into from program request, but also put down in writing the playing progress rate of this program, like this, when the user comes back to a sowing time, can directly inject this playing progress rate place of this program, save the time that the user seeks this playing progress rate again again.
" favorite channel " in the respective embodiments described above, " channel of watching recently ", " request program of watching recently " pointer can be in set-top box, also can be in stream media system.
