Alternatively, said mail reception unit is followed post office protocol (POP3) and is received said bill mail.
Alternatively, said STB identifier medium access control (MAC) address that is STB.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
In the e bill system based on STB of the embodiment of the invention; The operation support module derives the bill information that includes the STB identifier; Mail sending module generates corresponding bill mail and sends; This bill mail is sent to the STB with this STB identifier, thereby has realized the specific aim delivery of bill, compares with the papery bill and has reduced cost.Compare with e bill,, saved the process that e-mail messages is collected because the bill mail of the embodiment of the invention directly sends according to the STB identifier based on terminal, more simple and targeted.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the general structure block diagram based on the e bill system of STB of the embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is the detailed block diagram of the e bill system of the embodiment of the invention.
Embodiment
Often adopt the papery bill in the prior art or based on the e bill of terminal, cost is higher, perhaps need be equipped with relevant hardware equipment and network and connect, and also depend on the collection of user profile based on the e bill of terminal.
In the e bill system based on STB of the embodiment of the invention; The operation support module derives the bill information that includes the STB identifier; Mail sending module generates corresponding bill mail and sends; This bill mail is sent to the STB with this STB identifier, thereby has realized the specific aim delivery of bill, compares with the papery bill and has reduced cost.Compare with e bill,, saved the process that e-mail messages is collected because the bill mail of the embodiment of the invention directly sends according to the STB identifier based on terminal, more simple and targeted.
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment and accompanying drawing the present invention is described further, but should limit protection scope of the present invention with this.
Fig. 1 shows the general structure block diagram based on the e bill system of STB of present embodiment, mainly comprises: operation support module 11, mail sending module 12, STB 13 and the televisor 14 that links to each other with STB 13.
Concrete, operation support module 11 derives the bill information that includes the STB identifier termly with predetermined frequencies; Mail sending module 12 generates the bill mail based on this bill information and it is sent; STB 13 with corresponding set-top box identifier receives corresponding bill mail from mail sending module 12, and the STB identifier that is promptly comprised in the bill mail is identical with the STB identifier of the STB 13 that receives this bill mail.
In one embodiment; Operation support module 11 can be integrated on the server of CATV operator with mail sending module 12; The TV programme of operation support module 11 through customization, channel etc.; Regularly (like every month, per season) generate the bill information of CATV, directly comprised STB identifier (like the MAC Address of STB) and the current amount of money detail that should pay the fees of user of the presently used STB of user etc. in this bill information.Mail sending module 12 generates the bill mail with the STB identifier as the sign (for example can be used as addresses of items of mail) of sending, and sends it to corresponding set-top box 13 according to the content of bill information.
The STB identifier carries out because the generation of whole e bill and process of transmitting are based on; Do not need to gather specially user's information such as address, EMAIL address; But directly send on the STB 13 according to the STB identifier; Process of transmitting is simple more, targeted, and the user needs only purchase or used STB 13, and server can automatically send to the bill mail on the STB 13; Even if user's resettlement, the situations such as transfer of STB 13 have taken place, also can't influence the delivery of bill.
Fig. 2 shows the detailed block diagram of the e bill system of present embodiment, and wherein mail sending module 12 specifically comprises bill resolution unit 121 and mail generation unit 122; STB 13 comprises mail reception unit 131, bill display unit 132, bill reminding unit 133 and bill payment unit 134, is described in detail and explains in the face of each module down.
Concrete; Operation support module 11 can export to the bill information that regularly generates in the preset file directory; Bill resolution unit 121 can be monitored this document catalogue; When detecting new bill information derivation, this bill information is resolved, confirm the STB identifier that wherein comprises.For example, operation support module 11 can generate this bill information corresponding to this STB 13 according to information such as the program of STB 13 current customized, channels, wherein can comprise the MAC Address of STB 13.
The STB identifier (like MAC Address) that mail reception unit 131 has according to himself receives corresponding bill mail from mail sending module 12.The user can check the bill mail that receives through built-in browser or other suitable modes of operation on the STB 13; And send query requests through modes such as clicks; Bill display unit 132 is based on user's query requests; The bill mail is presented on the televisor 14 that links to each other with STB 13, makes the user to check own current bill content through televisor 14.
In the present embodiment, mail reception unit 131 can trigger bill reminding unit 133 and generate the mail reminder mark when receiving new bill mail, is set to " very " like a certain mark.This mail reminder mark further triggers bill display unit 132 and on televisor 14, exports the mail reminder signal.The mail reminder signal can comprise to be reminded icon and/or reminds the tinkle of bells etc., and for example, bill display unit 132 can be in the upper right corner of televisor 14, the lower right corner etc. ejected and reminded icon, and can send the prompting the tinkle of bells simultaneously.Whether bill reminding unit 133 is optional certainly, also can be had by user's active inquiry in other embodiments and receive new bill mail.
After the user had checked new bill mail, bill reminding unit 133 can be eliminated the mail reminder mark, as this mail reminder mark is set to " vacation " by " very ".
In addition; The user can go out Payment Request through embedded type browser sending in the process of checking the bill mail, request is paid to current bill of checking; Bill payment unit 134 links to the paying server 15 of STB 13 couplings and pays when receiving this Payment Request.Preferably; Can comprise the bill number information in the bill information that operation support module 11 derives; This bill number information is passed in the bill mail with other information in the bill information in the lump; When receiving user's Payment Request, bill payment unit 134 can be sent to paying server 15 with this bill number information.Paying server 15 can be according to its corresponding information such as payment of bill number information inquiry, so that accomplish payment process.
Certainly, also can comprise corresponding secure verification module in the STB 13, with the security of the process of guaranteeing payment.
Server as operator; Operation support module 11 can " congenitally " be known the STB identifier of each STB 13; Thereby can directly targetedly bill be sent to STB 13 according to the STB identifier, and needn't gather user's destination address.
Need to prove, though be that bill with CATV is that example describes in the present embodiment,, this e bill system also can extend to other bills, for example bills such as water, electricity consumption is sent to user's STB through such scheme.
Though the present invention with preferred embodiment openly as above; But it is not to be used for limiting the present invention; Any those skilled in the art are not breaking away from the spirit and scope of the present invention; Can make possible change and modification, so protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the scope that claim of the present invention was defined.
