Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of digital television broadcasting system of the present invention.
Embodiment
Based on the demand (telecommunication) service of IPQAM, implementation be with IP network as mutual signalling path, and with the cable network qam mode as the audio/video program downlink data channel.Because this mode, the downstream tones video data is to be modulated at a certain frequency, with the mode of DVB regional broadcast to the set-top box place of request program, therefore be in other set-top box in this requesting area by the specific frequency of search, can search for and watch the video-audio program of other user's program requests.
As shown in Figure 1, digital television broadcasting system of the present invention comprises main EPG (Electronic ProgramGuide, electronic program guides) server 10, program request management server 11, video server 12, switch 13, hub 14, IPQAM modulating device 15, multiplexer 16, frequency mixer 17, distributor 18, cable TV network 19 and is connected to a plurality of sectorization broadcasts station of cable TV network (the first sectorization broadcast station 20, the second sectorization broadcast station 30).Connect set-top box such as bi-directional set- top box 21,22 on the first sectorization broadcast station 20.Main EPG server 10 is used to generate the EPG program guide.Video server 12 is used to provide the request program video.IPQAM modulating device 15 is used for video-audio program is modulated to a certain data channel.Program request EPG server 11 is used for real-time update and shares request program information.
Based on above-mentioned digital television broadcasting system, the present invention realizes that bi-directional set-top box is shared and watches that the method for mutual request program comprises the steps:
Step 1: during two-way interactive set-top box request request program, other bi-directional set-top box sends the invitation of watching request program jointly in the one's respective area.
Whether bi-directional set-top box during request program, increases by two information in request in demand signalling: invite other set-top box to watch jointly and preengage the program request time.The program request initiator is in order to allow more user accept the invitation, and can be arranged on certain hour after the current time reservation program request time, such as after 10 minutes, in this time of 10 minutes, other user inquirings can add wait to being about to request program.Operator can take preferential policy to give encouragement on rate in order to carry out the mode of this resource-sharing.Such as film program request needs 4 yuan, watches jointly when the program request promoter selects to invite other users, and when having the user to add, then the required expense of program request promoter is reduced to 2 yuan, and operator can also collect 2 yuan expense to the user that adding is watched.Like this, when the number of users of watching film jointly increased, the return rate that resource drops into had just improved in operator, and the user has also reduced expense, belongs to doulbe-sides' victory.
Step 2: the invitation that the program request management server sends according to set-top box generates the shared IP Information On Demand that carries area I D, for inquiry in real time of other set-top box and selection.
