Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to specific examples. The following examples are illustrative only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention. The examples, where specific techniques or conditions are not indicated, are to be construed according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the art or according to the product specifications.
The invention provides a method for identifying and changing frequency points and updating programs of a set top box, which can automatically update programs according to satellite data change, automatically search new program frequency points when the program frequency points change, reduce software update and improve user experience.
In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention adopts the following general ideas:
according to the invention, the automatic function is opened through the menu, if the automatic function is opened, the set top box can regularly, quickly and automatically acquire the key data of the satellite at the back, and whether the satellite program is updated or the frequency point of the program is changed is judged according to the comparison of the related data stored in the current set top box, so that whether the user updates or prompts the frequency point change that the program needs to be searched again is prompted, the frequency point does not need to be updated again by updating software, convenience, quickness and clearness are realized, and the user experience is ensured.
In order to better understand the technical solution, the technical solution will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 1, the method for identifying and changing a frequency point and updating a program of a set top box specifically includes the following steps.
And S0, adding a control unit for judging whether to open the automatic search function on the menu of the set-top box, and setting timing.
And S1, starting the timing setting of the automatic searching unit of the set-top box, and sending an instruction for starting the background automatic scanning to acquire the satellite program information when the set time is reached.
S2, when the main thread receives the instruction of automatically scanning and obtaining the satellite program information, the background fast scanning is carried out to obtain the satellite program list data, and the satellite program list data is compared with the program list data in the storage area: when the version number of the satellite program list data is consistent with the version number of the program list data in the storage area and the version number of the satellite program list data has a background mark, sending an ending instruction; and when the version number of the satellite program list data is not consistent with the version number of the program list data in the storage area and the version number of the satellite program list data has a background mark, sending an updating processing instruction to prompt a user to search again for updating.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the background flag is 1, which indicates that the background scanning is performed; the background flag is 0, which means that background scanning has not been performed.
And S3, prompting the user whether to search again for updating according to the comparison result.
S4, if the set-top box does not receive the re-searching instruction sent by the user, namely the ending instruction is sent, the set-top box keeps the original state and the program list and does not carry out updating processing; if the set-top box receives the re-searching instruction, the set-top box performs fast searching (Fastscan, a kind of program searching based on the frequency point of the satellite frequency converter) according to the original program frequency point stored in the storage area.
And S5, processing the searched satellite program list data and updating the program list in the storage area when the search is successful, sending a search failure prompt and repositioning the DiSEqC position according to the satellite angle when the search is failed, and re-searching a new satellite frequency point according to the Original Network ID and the Transport Stream ID.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the search failure of the present invention may be understood as: the frequency point corresponding to the program list data in the storage area is inconsistent with the frequency point corresponding to the satellite program list data, namely the satellite program frequency point is updated, a new satellite frequency point appears, and the program frequency point in the local storage area of the set top box needs to be automatically changed correspondingly.
And S6, when a new satellite frequency point is found, storing the new satellite frequency point in a storage area, then searching again according to the stored new satellite frequency point, and returning to S5 for judging again.
It can be understood that the method of the invention checks the frequency points one by one under the satellite of Fastscan until finding a new correct satellite frequency point, stores and updates the frequency point, and searches programs again.
The method for identifying and changing the frequency points of the set top box and updating the programs can automatically update the programs according to the satellite data change, automatically search new program frequency points when the program frequency points change, reduce software updating and improve user experience.
Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is understood that the embodiments are illustrative and not restrictive, that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
