Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a first embodiment of an electronic program guide data transmission method according to the present invention, the electronic program guide data transmission method includes the following steps:
step S11: the server acquires EPG data.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the server is connected to the terminal device. The server may be the device shown in fig. 1, or may be another type of device. The terminal device may be the apparatus as described in fig. 1, or may be another type of apparatus. The terminal device may be a smart phone, a television, a set-top box, a router, etc. that can receive EPG data.
EPG data is data related to an EPG, including but not limited to: service data or service data and the like that can be provided to the user, for example, EPG data includes: video information may be provided to the user to enable the user to select a video view of interest based on the video information.
In the embodiment of the invention, the server acquires EPG data.
Step S12: the server generates a DDB based on the EPG data.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after acquiring the EPG Data, the server generates a DDB (Download Data Block) based on the EPG Data, that is, packages the EPG Data into a message field in the DDB, thereby generating the DDB. The EPG data is transmitted by using DDB as a carrier, and thus, more EPG data can be accommodated because DDB can accommodate a larger data volume.
Step S13: and the server sends the DDB to the terminal equipment.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the server generates the DDB carrying the EPG data, the DDB is sent to the terminal equipment, so that the terminal equipment acquires the EPG data from the DDB.
In some embodiments, the server may send the DDBs to the terminal device at intervals of a preset frequency. The preset frequency can be flexibly set according to actual needs.
Step S14: and the terminal equipment receives the DDB sent by the server.
In the embodiment of the invention, the server sends the DDB carrying the EPG data to the terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment receives the DDB carrying the EPG data sent by the server.
Step S15: the terminal device acquires the EPG data from the DDB.
In the embodiment of the invention, the DDB is generated by the server based on the EPG data, so that the terminal equipment analyzes the DDB after receiving the DDB, and can acquire the EPG data from the DDB.
The electronic program guide data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps: the server acquires EPG data, generates DDB based on the EPG data, and sends the DDB to the terminal equipment; in the embodiment of the present invention, the DDB is used as a carrier to transmit the EPG data, and compared with a mode of transmitting the EPG data through an EIT (Event Information Table) Table, the DDB can accommodate a larger data volume, and when the data volumes of the EPG data are consistent, the DDB is used as a carrier to transmit the EPG data, the number of data packets is reduced, thereby reducing the time for encapsulation, transmission, decapsulation, and the like of the data packets in the transmission process of the EPG data, increasing the transmission speed of the EPG data, shortening the user waiting time, and improving the user experience.
Based on the first embodiment, a second embodiment of the electronic program guide data transmission method of the present invention is proposed, in the embodiment of the present invention, step S13 includes: and the server sends the DDB to the terminal equipment based on the TS.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the server transmits the DDB to the terminal device based on the TS (Transport Stream). Since the TS is transmitted based on the TS packets, and the data length of the TS packets is smaller than that of the DDB, the server may generate a plurality of TS packets based on the DDB, and transmit the TS packets to the terminal device, that is, the server may packetize the DDB to obtain a plurality of DDB packets, generate TS packets based on the DDB packets, and transmit the TS packets carrying the DDB packets to the terminal device.
Step S14 includes: and the terminal equipment receives the DDB sent by the server based on the TS.
Since the server transmits the DDB based on the TS, the terminal device receives the DDB transmitted by the server based on the TS. The terminal equipment receives the TS packet which is sent by the server and carries the DDB sub-packet, and obtains the DDB based on the TS packet, namely, the terminal equipment receives the TS packet which is sent by the server and carries the DDB sub-packet, analyzes the TS packet to obtain the DDB sub-packet, and combines the DDB sub-packet to obtain the DDB.
In some embodiments, the server may send the DDB to the terminal device based on the TS through DSMCC (Digital Storage Media Command and Control, Digital Storage Media Command and Control extension protocol); and the terminal equipment receives the DDB sent by the server based on the TS through the DSMCC.
In some embodiments, in order to enable the terminal device to acquire a TS packet carrying EPG data more quickly, step S13 includes:
step S131: and the server generates a plurality of TS packets according to the preset PID, the preset table id and the DDB.
Wherein, the preset PID (packet identifier) and the preset table id (table identifier) can be flexibly set according to actual needs.
The server packetizes the DDB carrying the EPG data to obtain a plurality of DDB packets, and generates a TS packet based on a preset PID, a preset table id and the DDB packets, that is, the packet header of the TS packet includes the preset PID and the preset table id.
Step S132: the server transmits the TS packet to the terminal device.
After generating the TS packet, the server sends the TS packet to the terminal device, so that the terminal device receives the TS packet carrying the EPG data based on the preset PID and the preset table id to acquire the EPG data.
In this case, step S14 includes:
step S141: and the terminal equipment receives the TS packet which is sent by the server and comprises the preset PID and the preset table id.
Because the EPG data is packaged in the TS packet comprising the preset PID and the preset table id, the terminal equipment receives the TS packet comprising the preset PID and the preset table id from the TS transmitted by the server.
Step S142: and the terminal equipment obtains the DDB based on the TS packet.
After receiving the TS packet comprising the preset PID and the preset table id, the terminal equipment acquires the DDB carrying the EPG data based on the TS packet. That is, the terminal device parses the DDB packets from the TS packets including the preset PID and the preset table id, and merges the DDB packets to obtain the DDB carrying the EPG data.
The electronic program guide data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the invention is based on the DDB carrying the EPG data transmitted by the TS, and further, when the DDB carrying the EPG data is transmitted by the TS, the server generates a plurality of TS packets according to the preset PID, the preset table id and the DDB and sends the TS packets to the terminal equipment, so that the terminal equipment can more quickly find the TS packets carrying the EPG data according to the preset PID and the preset table id, thereby acquiring the EPG data and improving the speed of acquiring the EPG data.
Based on the first and second embodiments, a third embodiment of the electronic program guide data transmission method of the present invention is provided. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for transmitting epg data according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, step S14 includes: and the terminal equipment receives the DDB sent by the server at the preset time.
The preset time can be flexibly set according to actual needs. In some embodiments, the preset time may be set according to the number of users online, the remaining available bandwidth, etc., for example, in one example, since the number of users online is small, the available bandwidth is large, the preset time may be set to flow 2 point, 3 point in the morning, etc.
In order to avoid the situations that the number of users on line is large, links are jammed, and the time for acquiring EPG data is too long, in the embodiment of the invention, terminal equipment receives DDB sent by a server at preset time.
After step S15, the electronic program guide data transmission method further includes the steps of:
step S16: the terminal device stores the EPG data to a preset area.
The preset area can be flexibly set according to actual needs.
After the EPG data is acquired from the DDB, the EPG data can be stored in the preset area, so that when the EPG data needs to be displayed subsequently, the EPG data can be directly acquired from the preset area to be displayed, thereby improving the response speed.
In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal equipment acquires the EPG data from the DDB in the preset actual receiving server-sent DDB carrying the EPG data, and stores the EPG data in the preset area, so that the condition that the EPG data cannot be received due to link congestion can be avoided, and the EPG data can be directly acquired from the preset area to be displayed when the EPG data needs to be displayed, thereby improving the response speed and reducing the waiting time of a user.
Based on the third embodiment, a fourth embodiment of the electronic program guide data transmission method of the present invention is proposed. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a fourth embodiment of the method for transmitting epg data according to the present invention. In this embodiment of the present invention, before step S14, the method for transmitting electronic program guide data further includes the following steps:
step S17: and when the preset time of the terminal equipment is up, judging whether the terminal equipment is in a starting state or not.
In order to avoid that a user occupies bandwidth and affects the user to watch videos when receiving the DDB to acquire EPG data in the using process, the terminal device may first determine whether the terminal device is currently in a power-on state when a preset time is reached.
Step S18: if not, the terminal device is powered on to execute step S14.
If the terminal equipment is not in the starting state, the terminal equipment is indicated that the user does not use the terminal equipment currently, and the receiving of the DDB does not affect the use of the user, so that the terminal equipment is started to receive the DDB sent by the server.
In order to save power consumption, the terminal device can enter a standby state after being powered on, and receives the DDB sent by the server in the background.
In some embodiments, if the terminal device is in the power-on state when the preset time is reached, the terminal device may receive, when receiving the power-off instruction, the DDB carrying the EPG data sent by the server, obtain and store the EPG data from the DDB, and then power off the terminal device.
After step S16, the electronic program guide data transmission method further includes the steps of:
step S19: the terminal equipment is closed.
And after the EPG data is acquired and stored in the preset area, the terminal equipment is closed to save power consumption.
In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal equipment is started to receive the DDB carrying the EPG data when the terminal equipment is in the power-off state within the preset time, so that the receiving of the EPG data is prevented from influencing the service currently used by a user, and the user experience is improved.
A fifth embodiment of the electronic program guide data transmission method of the present invention is proposed based on the fourth embodiment. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a fifth embodiment of the method for transmitting epg data according to the present invention. In this embodiment of the present invention, after step S19, the method for transmitting electronic program guide data further includes the following steps:
