Set-top box comprises that also landing request module and information provides module (figure does not show), land request module and send the request of landing to main control server, main control server the authentication by after User Status is revised as presence, information provides module that good friend's online information is offered the user.
After the user opened set-top box, set-top box sent to main control server earlier and lands request, and authentication is passed through, and main control server is revised as presence with this User Status.If this user has set up good friend group, then main control server can information offers the user with whether the good friend online etc., main control server has been preserved a buddy list for each user, if after detecting good friend in this user's the buddy list and landing, main control server will send the message that the good friend reaches the standard grade to this user, if the good friend is rolled off the production line, main control server sends the message that the good friend is rolled off the production line to this user.The user also can inquire about the online information of current good friend to main control server by STB, if the good friend is not online, can notify the good friend to reach the standard grade by alternate manner.If this user does not set up groups of users, the user sets up a casual user group earlier, and the user can be provided with the password that adds group, if be provided with the password that adds group, then other people could add this group after must inputing password.After group set up, the user just sent message by STB to the good friend, invited the good friend to add group.After adding group, the STB in the group enters focus control mode, and each STB that newly adds access customer at first can inquire about the state of the current STB of group to main control server, then state of oneself and the state of other STB of group is consistent.Each STB can send to main control server with the button of receiving, main control server is broadcast to all STB in the group with the button of receiving, each STB in the group can receive identical button simultaneously like this, and carry out identical order, and can exchange with the member of group at any time when watching program, thereby reach the effect of watching program jointly.
See also Fig. 2, be the structure chart of the system of watching program jointly of another embodiment of the present invention.Each member's of group STB has set up an IP with main control server and has been connected, each member's STB can send to main control server by IP network in real time with user's literal, video or voice data, the literal that main control server sends over each STB, video or audio frequency make up and superpose after be broadcast to each STB in the group.
See also Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, be the flow chart of watching the program method jointly of the embodiment of the invention.The program method of watching jointly of the embodiment of the invention comprises:
Land step: after the user opens set-top box, set-top box sends the request of landing to main control server, authentication is passed through, main control server is revised as presence with this User Status, if this user has set up good friend group, then main control server can information offers the user with whether the good friend online etc., main control server has been preserved a buddy list for each user, if after detecting good friend in this user's the buddy list and landing, main control server will send the message that the good friend reaches the standard grade to this user, if the good friend is rolled off the production line, main control server sends the message that the good friend is rolled off the production line to this user;
Invite step: the user will set up casual user's group message by STB and send to main control server, creates successfully after, main control server will be created success message and send to STB, the user adds the message of group to main control server transmission invitation good friend by STB.After STB receives the invitation message of main control server, STB can eject a dialog box, allow the user select whether to accept the invitation, if the user selects to accept, then STB can send a message of accepting the invitation to main control server, if the user selects refusal, then STB can send the message that a refusal is invited to main control server.Main control server is transmitted group message and invitation message to the STB that is invited the good friend, other STB sends the message that request adds group to main control server, if the user is provided with the password that adds group, then other people could add this group after must inputing password, after the password authentification success, main control server returns to other STB and adds successful message, and sends the message that other STB adds group to STB;
Watch the program step: after adding group, STB in the group enters focus control mode, each member's of group STB has set up an IP with main control server and has been connected, each STB that newly adds access customer at first can inquire about the state of the current STB of group to main control server, then state of oneself and the state of other STB of group are consistent, each STB can be with the button of receiving, user's literal, video or voice data send to main control server, main control server is broadcast to all STB in the group with the button of receiving, the literal that each STB is sended over, video or audio frequency make up and superpose after be broadcast to each STB in the group, each STB in the group can receive identical button simultaneously like this, and carry out identical order, each member's STB can be with user's literal, video or voice data send to main control server in real time by IP network, the literal that main control server sends over each STB, video or audio frequency make up and superpose after be broadcast to each STB in the group.
The system and method for watching program jointly of embodiments of the invention is by setting up groups of users, make the set-top box users that adds groups of users can allow the portrait of diverse geographic location watch program equally jointly in same room and the emotion that raps off, overcome the last obstacle of room and time distance.
