Abstract

This set-top box (SB) communicates with the video server (VS). SB consists of the user port (UP), the broadcast group administrating module (BGA), the decoding module (DE), the TV signal testing module (TST), the timing module (TM) and the feedback signal generating module (FSG). UP receives the user info (UI). BGA adds SB into the broadcast group (BG) according to UI. DE decodes codes according to the BG residing SB. TST tests whether SB receiving the TV signal. TM counts time according to the preset timing period and generates interruption instruction (II) while time exceeded. FSG generates a feedback signal (FS) depending on II and sends FS to VS. This SB and the FS generating method use timer to generate FS and sends FS back to VS. This makes the service supplier using flexibly the FS to meet user's various requirements.

Consult Fig. 2, be depicted as the module map of set-top box 10 in the embodiment of the present invention.
Set-top box 10 comprises the sternly living module 115 of user interface 101, initialization module 103, broadcasting group management module 105, decoder module 107, TV signal detection module 109, timing module 111, interrupt instruction detection module 113 and feedback signal.
User interface 101 is used to receive user profile.In the present embodiment, user profile comprises: boot-strap information, broadcasting group add information and broadcasting group leave message.
Initialization module 103 is used for according to user profile set-top box 10 being carried out initialization.In the present embodiment, the initialization of set-top box 10 comprises: the media play type is set, viewing area etc. is set, wherein the media play type comprises: and dynamic image expert group (Moving Picture Expert Group, MPEG), H.264 wait.
Broadcasting group management module 105 is used to make set-top box 10 to add broadcasting group or leave broadcasting group according to user profile.Broadcasting group management module 105 can be Internet Group Management Protocol module (Internet GroupManagement Protocol, IGMP module).
Decoder module 107 is used for after set-top box 10 adds broadcasting group the TV signal in this broadcasting group being decoded.
TV signal detection module 109 is used for machines top box 10 and whether receives TV signal.In the present embodiment, whether TV signal detection module 109 works to judge whether set-top box 10 receives TV signal according to decoder module 107, if decoder module 107 operate as normal, then set-top box 10 receives TV signal; Otherwise, represent that then set-top box 10 does not receive TV signal.
Timing module 111 is used for according to the timing of setting time-count cycle, and produces interrupt instruction.Timing module 111 comprises a timer at least, in the present embodiment, comprises first timer 1110 and second timer 1112.
First timer 1110 is used for according to timing first time-count cycle, and produces first interrupt instruction or second interrupt instruction when overtime.In the present embodiment, can be 6 seconds this first time-count cycle.First interrupt instruction is before first timer 1110 has started and second timer 1112 starts, the interrupt instruction that first timer 1110 is overtime to be produced when not receiving TV signal.Second interrupt instruction is after first timer 1110 and second timer 1112 start simultaneously, the interrupt instruction that first timer 1110 is overtime to be produced when not receiving TV signal.
Second timer 1112 is used for according to timing second time-count cycle, and produces the 3rd interrupt instruction when not receiving TV signal in that second timer 1112 is overtime, and wherein this second time-count cycle is greater than first time-count cycle.In the present embodiment, can be 60 seconds this second time-count cycle.
Interrupt instruction detection module 113 is used to detect the interrupt instruction that timing module 111 is produced, and testing result is transferred to feedback signal generation module 115.
