Description

A kind of device and method of remotely controlling functional interface of set-top box
Technical field
The present invention relates to the set box remote control field, especially relate to a kind of device and method of remotely controlling functional interface of set-top box.
Background technology
Along with the development of digital TV products with popularize, set-top box becomes an indispensable part in people's daily life, and the use of set-top box also becomes the essential daily knowledge that learn of people institute.Because a large amount of appearance of digital to television program have brought more color for people's life, simulated television can only receive tens channels, but Digital Television but is into hundred, have in addition can receive thousands of channels.But this also allows the people that have been accustomed to simulated television in the advanced person and benefit of unlimited pleasantly surprised digitlization life, has also brought new worry to them.The program that the television reception in past arrives is few, and man memory power can also be brought into play reasonable effect, can remember the channel of TV programme, and the time of the program of liking.But when channel reached the receivable quantity of Digital Television, the man memory function substantially just was difficult to finish people's primary demand, so think that channel is many, the situation of seeing the program that oneself is envisioned still less though client also can occur.
And, because development of science and technology, the function that people can realize in little space is more and more, this product of set-top box also under people's effort fast the set and various function, client can spend money still less like this, obtain product with better function, but incident problem allows really also client helpless, the number of keys of remote control machine is directly proportional with the speed that the functional type of set-top box rises.Hold the remote control of dozens or even hundreds of key, contrasting more and more thicker specification, the mood the when user uses is self-evident.The difficult note owing to find it difficult to learn, major part have the set-top box of power substantially also just to be taken as common receiver use.
Certainly, also there are many people to notice this phenomenon, also occurred the invention of some correlation types in succession.As the Shenzhen City Pengying Technology Co., Ltd denomination of invention is that " interactive interface of set-top box and method of operation ", publication number are the Chinese patent application patent of CN1832533, a kind of interactive interface and method of operation of set-top box are disclosed, be used to make the interactive interface more convenient operation of set-top box, comprise search, program browsing and the editor, electronic program guides and the option setup menu hurdle that are arranged on the interface.Characteristics are to utilize menu to access the correlation function operation that key or menu shortcuts are carried out various set-top box.But there is following defective in this invention people from system: the user must know each position, function menu ground, and can remember each button represented meaning under different patterns.The Information of the drop-down menu formula of remote controller operation interface, the space of having limited client's autonomous selection is unfavorable for seeking apace the service content of needs.
As ZTE Co., Ltd's denomination of invention is that " a kind of shortcut system and implementation method that is applied to field of set-top ", publication number are the Chinese patent application patent of CN1941860, shortcut system in a kind of set-top box is disclosed, proposition is provided with shortcut on remote controller, be used for sending key set code the configurable a kind of quick controlled function of each shortcut to set-top box; Set-top box then receives the key set code of described remote controller, and execution and the corresponding function command of described key set code.But there is following defective in this invention people from system: though shortcut system and remote controller key have clear and definite function correspondence, but, numerous meetings of function make the number of keys of remote controller be the rising of exponential curve form, when function arrives certain degree more, its function becomes difficult to achieve, and complicated operation, the function number also is subjected to the remote keying limited in number.The present active demand of client be a kind of they both be familiar with to have used easy to learnly, have the set top box operations mode of strong functions to occur again.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, a kind of device and method of remotely controlling functional interface of set-top box is provided.
One object of the present invention is to provide a kind of device of remotely controlling functional interface of set-top box.
In order to realize this goal of the invention, the technical scheme of employing is:
