s101: sending a scheduling table acquisition request to a server;
a scheduling table is prestored in the server, and the scheduling table is a time table which is made for the live programs and is related to the interaction information.
The schedule can be edited manually or automatically generated by the server according to preset rules.
In one example, the server obtains program guide information of the current day or preset days from an electronic program guide system (epg system), and the operator designs corresponding scheduling of the interactive information according to the obtained program guide information to form a scheduling table of the interactive information.
The set-top box can determine the interactive information corresponding to the program and present the interactive information to the user by using the schedule when the program is live, so that the set-top box needs to send a schedule acquisition request to the server to acquire the corresponding schedule.
S102: receiving a scheduling list returned by the server in response to the scheduling list acquisition request;
after receiving a schedule acquisition request sent by the set-top box, the server returns the corresponding schedule to the set-top box, and the set-top box receives the schedule.
In an example, after receiving a schedule table acquisition request sent by a set-top box, a server searches a corresponding schedule table according to the schedule table acquisition request, and then returns the searched schedule table to the set-top box.
S103: sending an interactive information acquisition request to the server at a preset time according to the schedule;
after receiving the scheduling list returned by the server, the set top box can send an interactive information acquisition request to the server at a preset time according to the scheduling list.
For example, the central 5 sets of television stations play a pre-selection game of european cup france at 20: 00-21: 30 of the time of day, the scheduled time set for the program in the schedule table is 20:00, and the set-top box sends an interactive information acquisition request to the server according to the schedule table when the time reaches 20:00, so as to acquire the interactive information to be presented to the user at 20: 00.
In an example, the schedule further includes a program start time and a program end time, and the predetermined time is the program start time, or the program end time, or any time between the program start time and the program end time.
In another example, there may be multiple scheduled times for the same program.
For example, for a program played at the time of the day from 20:00 to 21:30, the first predetermined time may be 20:00, the second predetermined time may be 21:30, and the third predetermined time may be any time between 20:00 and 21: 30.
S104: and receiving the interactive information returned by the server in response to the interactive information acquisition request.
After receiving an interactive information acquisition request sent by the set-top box at a preset time, the server returns interactive information corresponding to the interactive information acquisition request to the set-top box.
For example, for a france european cup pre-selection game played by 5 sets of central television stations at 20: 00-21: 30 of the time of the day, after receiving an interactive information acquisition request sent by the set-top box at 20:00 of a preset time, the server returns interactive information containing competition result guessing and voting to the set-top box, so that the set-top box presents a competition result guessing and voting interface to a user, and an interactive process between a television program and the user is realized.
In yet another example, the interactive information may include questionnaires, interactive quizzes, guesses, votes, advertising interactions, merchandise links, and the like.
