Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
Example one
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for collaborative work of a convergence set-top box according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the embodiment is applicable to a situation in which a set-top box system and a PON system in the convergence set-top box operate synchronously, and the method may be implemented by software and/or hardware in the convergence set-top box.
As shown in fig. 1, the cooperative work method of the convergence set-top box specifically includes:
s110, when the PON system enters a sleep state, a sleep broadcast message is sent.
The PON system is a gateway, and when a user sleeping gateway enables the gateway to enter a sleeping state, a broadcast message is sent to inform equipment connected with the gateway that the working state of the gateway changes.
Here, when the PON system enters the sleep state, the network port of the set-top box built in the PON system is kept in the operating state. Namely, when the sleep function of the PON system is processed, the sleep processing of the network port of the built-in set-top box is skipped. Only when the network port is in a normal working state, the communication between the PON system and the set-top box system can be kept.
And S120, when the set top box system receives the dormancy broadcast message, if the set top box system is in the awakening state, switching to the standby state.
Specifically, if the set-top box system is in the wake-up state, the set-top box system is switched from the wake-up state to the standby state after receiving the sleep broadcast message, so that the energy-saving effect is achieved. If the set-top box system is in a standby state, the set-top box system keeps the standby state after receiving the dormancy broadcast message and does not respond to the dormancy broadcast message.
Preferably, the method for fusing cooperative work of set top boxes further includes:
and when the set-top box system is awakened from the standby state, sending TCP awakening request information to the PON system.
The TCP wake-up request message may be a string having a response indication function, which is agreed by both the set-top box system and the PON system. Specifically, the set-top box serves as a TCP client, the PON serves as a TCP server, and a route capable of maintaining communication with the gateway is required at the set-top box. The set-top box system can be linked to the PON system through a route or bridge the PON system. When the set-top box system is connected with the PON system through the route, the PON system allocates an IP address to the set-top box system after being connected with the set-top box system. Thus, the set-top box system may send TCP wake-up request information to the PON system. When the set-top box system is in bridge connection with the PON system, the set-top box system establishes a static route, and then the PON system allocates an IP address to the set-top box system after being connected with the set-top box system. Thus, the set-top box system may send TCP wake-up request information to the PON system.
Further, when the PON system receives the TCP wake-up request message, if the PON system is in a sleep state, the PON system is switched to a working state.
If the PON system is in the dormant state, the PON system is switched to the working state from the dormant state when receiving the TCP wakeup request information. If the PON system is in the awakening state, the PON system keeps the awakening state when receiving the TCP awakening request information, and the response to the TCP awakening request information is not needed.
It should be noted here that, in the case that the user makes the set-top box system stand by, the PON system end still needs to provide other services for the user, so that the PON system and the set-top box system do not need to be considered to be synchronized at this time; when a user wakes up the PON system, the PON system end provides service for the user, and whether the set-top box system needs to enter the wake-up state to provide service is determined by the user, so that the state synchronization of the PON system and the set-top box system does not need to be considered at this time.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, when the PON system enters the sleep state, the sleep broadcast message is sent, when the set top box system receives the sleep broadcast message, if the set top box system is in the wake-up state, the set top box system is switched to the standby state, and when the set top box system is awakened from the standby state, TCP wake-up request information is sent to the PON system, and when the PON system receives the TCP wake-up request information, if the set top box system is in the sleep state, the set top box system is switched to the working state; the problem that when the PON system is dormant, the set top box cannot normally work and is always in a charged state, waste of electric energy can be caused, meanwhile, the problem that a user is easily misled that the set top box is in a fault state is solved, and when the set top box is awakened, if the PON system is still dormant, the user cannot normally access a network to use the set top box is solved, synchronization of a set top box operating system and the PON system in the set top box is achieved, when the PON system enters the dormant state, the set top box system is in a standby state, electric energy consumption is reduced, better experience is provided for the user, the PON system is also ensured to be in the awakened state when the set top box is awakened, and the set top box can normally work.
