Audio-visual entertainment device combined with access control identity verification

This creation is related to audio-visual entertainment devices, especially an audio-visual entertainment device that can determine its open function according to the user's identity.

According to the press, many people have audio-visual entertainment devices, such as set-top boxes, which can receive audio-visual entertainment signals for viewing entertainment. However, the content of the film is all-encompassing, and not all users of all ages are suitable for viewing. Therefore, there is currently a grading system for the film, which is based on the content of the film to determine the age level suitable for viewing, in order to avoid the exposure of users of lower ages. Inappropriate content such as violence and pornography.

Even if there is a grading system for the movie, the user can still view all the video content as soon as the user opens the audio-visual entertainment device, and the audio-visual entertainment device cannot recognize the user, so it is difficult to prevent the users of the lower ages from deliberately touching or mistaking. Therefore, a conventional method is to lock the code of the restricted-level movie, which must be decoded by the decoder to be viewed. However, the decoder is not difficult to obtain, and the audio-visual entertainment device still cannot recognize whether the user who uses the decoder is suitable for watching the program.

Another conventional method is to set the user's account password on the audio-visual entertainment device. After the device is turned on, the user must first pass the verification to view the higher-level movie. This is a better way to isolate, but each time you open the AV entertainment device, you need to enter the account password once to log in, which is the inconvenience.

In view of this, how to improve the above problems is the primary issue that the creative office wants to solve.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an audio-visual entertainment device that combines access control verification, which can identify the user's identity through the access control system, and then open different functional items for individual users, thereby implementing user grading to avoid user contact. The leapfrog audio and video content. On the other hand, after the identity is automatically recognized by the access control system, the audio-visual entertainment device only opens the function items available for the identity, and the access procedures such as inputting the account password can be omitted, thereby improving the convenience of use.

For the purpose of the foregoing, the present invention provides an audio-visual entertainment device combined with access control verification, which comprises: an access control verification unit for recognizing the identity of the user and outputting the recognized identity information; The unit includes a television and a set-top box connected to the television, wherein the set-top box is provided with a receiving unit, a database unit and a control unit, and the receiving unit is configured to electrically connect the access control verification unit to receive The identified identity information, the database unit compares and logs the identity information, and the control unit determines the functional items that can be opened by the set-top box according to the identity information after the login.

In an embodiment, the access control verification unit uses the magnetic card sensing, the fingerprint registration, the iris login, or the face login to identify the user.

In an embodiment, the information is transmitted between the access control verification unit and the set-top box by using a wireless network.

The above objects and advantages of the present invention are not to be understood in detail from the detailed description and the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which shows a video entertainment device combined with the access control identity verification provided by the present invention, which includes an access control verification unit 1 and an audio and video playback unit, wherein the audio and video playback unit has a television 2 and a The set-top box 3 is connected to the television 2, and the set-top box 3 is used for receiving and decoding a digital video program signal, and is played by the television 2.

The access control verification unit 1 is disposed at an entrance and exit of the location where the video playback unit is located, and is used to identify the identity of the user entering the location. The user must first verify that the identity is entered by the access control verification unit 1. In this embodiment, the access control verification unit 1 performs identity identification of the user by using magnetic card sensing, fingerprint registration, iris registration, or face registration. The access control verification unit 1 is provided with a transmitting unit for converting the identified identity information into a wireless signal and transmitting.

As shown in FIG. 2, the set-top box 3 is provided with a receiving unit 31, a database unit 32 and a control unit 33, and has an application program 34 (APP) built therein for overall operation. The receiving unit 31 is configured to receive the identity information recognized by the access control identity verification unit 1, and the information is transmitted between the two through the wireless network. The database unit 32 can compare the received identity information with its internal data, wherein the internal data of the database unit 32 is information pre-registered by the user, including the identity and the function of the set-top box 3 The information of the item, when the comparison result of the received identity information meets one of the registration information, the database unit 32 will confirm the login and notify the control unit 33. The control unit 33 determines the functional items that the set-top box 3 can be opened according to the registered identity information; in other words, the function items that each user can use the set-top box 3 may be different.

For example, an adult user and a minor user are provided, both of which are registered on the database unit 32; and a user who is not registered with the database unit 32. In the first case, after the adult user recognizes the identity via the access control verification unit 1, the set-top box 3 receives the identity information through the receiving unit 31, and compares and logs in the database unit 32 to confirm that it has Using the authority of all the function items of the set-top box 3, the control unit 33 opens all the functional items of the set-top box 3 for use by the adult user. In the second case, after the minor user recognizes the identity through the access control verification unit 1, the set-top box 3 receives the identity information through the receiving unit 31, and compares and registers with the database unit 32 to confirm the identity. Only having the right to use the function items of the set-top box 3, for example, the restricted-level movie is not allowed, the control unit 33 only opens a part of the authorized function items of the set-top box 3 for use by the underage user.

However, in the third case, an unregistered user wants to enter the location where the video playback unit is located, and can enter the location through the identity verification of the access control verification unit 1, but the set-top box 3 receives the identity. After the information, the matching login information cannot be compared in the database unit 32, so the control unit 33 will not open any functional items of the set-top box 3.

By the above structure, the above-mentioned structure is combined with the access control system of the set-top box 3 and the place, so that the set-top box 3 can provide different use items according to different users, thereby preventing the user from deliberately contacting or accidentally touching the program content of the unsuitable age. In addition, for an adult user who has full access to the set-top box 3, the access verification unit 1 can automatically perform the process of identity verification without having to enter an account password or the like on the set-top box 3. Programs that increase the ease of use.

However, the above description of the embodiments is merely illustrative of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Therefore, the replacement of equivalent elements should still be within the scope of the present invention.

In summary, it can be made clear to the skilled person that the creation can achieve the aforementioned objectives, and it has already met the requirements of the Patent Law and submitted an application according to law.
