Embodiment
Technical scheme provided by the invention is: utilize server and STB terminal interactive mode, finish design of VOD player interface and playing flow control by server end, behind the VOD player interface of revising the renewal of the page server end on the server, transfer of data after server end will upgrade is to STB terminal, and STB terminal is finished renewal to the VOD player according to the data that receive.
In order to make purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer,, the present invention is further elaborated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explanation the present invention, and be not used in qualification the present invention.
Mutual between described set-top box of the embodiment of the invention and the server, set-top box is to the server requests data, and the request of server responder top box is with the Version Control information of VOD player, XML document and interface file data send to set-top box, and set-top box is finished renewal after receiving data.
As shown in Figure 1, store Version Control information and data file in the storage system of server.Data file comprises XML (Extensible Markup Language autgmentability identifiable language) document and VOD player interface file data, and XML document has wherein been described information such as VOD player interface file name, interface display coordinate and commands for controlling information.When the user finishes the player interface exploitation on PC after, generate standard x ML document, replace original XML document and player interface file in the server, simultaneously the Version Control information in the updated stored system.
When starting, passes through set-top-box system to server requests Version Control information, server is given set-top box with the Version Control feedback information, set-top box compares the Version Control information of server feedback and the Version Control information of its storage, if both differences are then to server requests XML document and VOD player interface file data.Server is to set-top box feedback XML document and VOD player interface file data, and set-top box receives after the data its preservation; If both are identical, show and do not have new player data, set-top box will be to server requests XML document and VOD player interface file data, then directly from the document storage system of set-top box (in the permanent memory rod) read XML document and VOD player interface file data.
Set-top box receives after the XML file and VOD player interface file data of redaction, according to these data its VOD player interface is upgraded.As shown in Figure 2, set-top box VOD player is mainly by three most compositions: bottom control system, middleware part and playing flow system.
The bottom control system is made up of document storage system and command control system, set-top box is saved in the document storage system after server receives XML file and VOD player interface file (as image data), storage medium is ROM and permanent memory rod, the fileinfo that receives is saved in the permanent memory rod, realizes the power down preservation.
As mentioned above, behind the set-top box electrifying startup to server requests Version Control information, and the Version Control information of server feedback and the Version Control information of its storage compared,, and the data that receive are kept in the permanent memory rod of document storage system to server requests VOD player interface file data and XML document if both are inconsistent; If both are identical, show and do not have new player data, set-top box will be to server requests XML document and VOD player interface file data, then directly from document storage system (in the permanent memory rod) read XML document and VOD player interface file data.
XML document and VOD player interface file data upgrade finish after, set-top box need be according to its VOD player interface of new Data Update, at this moment, set-top box reads XML document from its document storage system, and XML document sent to middleware, start the XML resolver resolves XML document in the middleware, and the data structure that will resolve is kept among the ROM of document storage system.
Also comprise browser in the middleware except the XML resolver, browser is as VOD player interface show tools, and the device interface image can correctly display the play according to the player interface information that XML document is described.Browser reads XML data structure information and VOD player interface file data (as image data) from the ROM of document storage system, be used for interface display.
Middleware is finished the VOD player interface and is shown that starting playing flow afterwards realizes the VOD order program service.The command control system of bottom control system sends to middleware with order, realize the VOD service broadcast, time-out, F.F., rewind down, drag and operation such as stop, middleware reads the XML data structure according to different command to document storage system, finishes corresponding player interface operation and VOD play operation according to the XML document descriptor.
Embodiment of the invention flow chart specifically comprises following step as shown in Figure 3:
1, the user finishes renewal to the set-top box VOD player data by webpage making, generate XML document and VOD player interface file data and will upgrade after related data be stored in the server, upgrade the version control information simultaneously;
2, during set-top-box opening to the Version Control information of server requests VOD player;
3, server responder top box request sends to set-top box with Version Control information;
4, set-top box compares the Version Control information of reception and the Version Control information of its storage, if both are inconsistent, change step 5, otherwise directly read XML document and VOD player interface file data from the permanent memory rod, changes step 7;
5, set-top box is to server requests XML document and VOD player interface file data;
6, server is to set-top box feedback XML document and VOD player interface file data, and set-top box receives after the data its preservation;
7, set-top box analyzing XML file is preserved the data structure that parses;
8, set-top box shows the VOD player interface according to data structure that parses and VOD player interface file, and starts playing flow;
9, set-top box according to instruction realize the VOD service broadcast, time-out, F.F., rewind down, drag and operation such as stop.
The described system construction drawing of the embodiment of the invention as shown in Figure 4, comprise server and set-top box, wherein store the data of the VOD player after the renewal in the storage system of server, comprise VOD player version information, XML document and interface file, XML document comprises VOD player interface file name, interface display coordinate and control information.
When set-top box during to the version information of server requests VOD player, server feeds back to set-top box with the version information of its storage, set-top box is passed over the version information of server feedback and the version information of its storage, if both are inconsistent, then further to the XML document and the interface file of server requests VOD player, server is transferred to set-top box with the XML document and the interface file of its storage, and set-top box receives the back and preserves, and finishes the renewal to its VOD player.
As mentioned above, the upgrade job of set-top box VOD player interface and control flow is finished by server end, the user is as long as finish page animation as required, set-top box is obtained VOD player interface and control flow after the renewal from server, thereby finish the renewal of its VOD player, because the maturation of webpage making technology, cost of manufacture is very low, therefore greatly reduces cost and the workload that the set-top box VOD player interface is upgraded; In addition, the user also can embed some value-added services according to the needs of oneself in player.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, not in order to restriction the present invention, all any modifications of being done within the spirit and principles in the present invention, is equal to and replaces and improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
