In this embodiment, the middleware needs to implement 4 interactive interfaces to implement interaction with the interactive service, including an interface for acquiring middleware information, a screen pushing interface, a receiving interface, and a general message answering interface. After starting, the interactive service uses the HTTP protocol to monitor a fixed monitor port, which in this embodiment is an 8087 port (which may be modified). The signaling platform and the interactive service play a role of a signaling channel and do not contain service logic (function), the service logic is realized by the mobile phone APP and the middleware together, namely the mobile phone APP sends an instruction, and the middleware executes corresponding operation. The interactive access is realized through signaling, the mobile phone APP pushes the interactive instruction to the signaling platform, the signaling platform forwards the interactive instruction to the interactive service of the set top box, and the interactive service sends the instruction to the middleware to control the set top box, so that video screen pushing, remote control operation and the like are realized.

TABLE 1
And step 3, the interactive service reports the itvId, the IP address IP, the port number of the playing port, the version number ver of the middleware and the interactive function instruction set funclist supported by the middleware to the signaling platform.
And 4, the signaling platform establishes a binding relationship among the itvId, the IP address IP, the port of the playing port, the version number ver of the middleware and the interactive function instruction set funclist supported by the middleware.
And step 5, the mobile phone APP determines the function range supported by the set top box according to the version number ver of the middleware or the interactive function instruction set funclist.
In this embodiment, after the signaling platform establishes the binding relationship, the mobile APP acquires information of the bound set top box from the signaling platform through the mobile APP acquisition box end information interface located on the signaling platform by using the itvlid obtained in step 1, where the information includes the IP address IP, the play port number, the version number ver of the middleware, and the interactive function instruction set funclist supported by the middleware. The mobile phone APP determines the available function range through the interactive function instruction set funclist and the version number ver of the middleware, in the embodiment, the judgment is preferentially carried out through the interactive function instruction set funclist, and when the interactive function instruction set funclist is empty, the judgment is carried out through the version number ver of the middleware.
The data received by the mobile phone APP acquisition box side information interface is shown in the following table 2:

The info parameters in table 3 are specifically shown in table 4 below:
Figure BDA0003421124940000073
TABLE 4
After the association among the mobile phone APP, the signaling platform and the set top box is completed, the method of the invention continuously comprises the following steps:
and 6, calling the mobile phone positioned on the signaling platform by the mobile phone APP to send a command to the signaling platform interface to send a push request to the signaling platform, wherein the push request comprises an interaction command and the itvId bound by the mobile phone APP. In this embodiment, the mobile phone APP packages the http request (including the signature) through its own SDK, and sends the interaction instruction to the signaling platform.
In this embodiment, the data received by the mobile phone sending the instruction to the signaling platform interface is as shown in the following table 5:
Figure BDA0003421124940000074
Figure BDA0003421124940000081
TABLE 5
The interactive instruction comprises the function to be executed and the on-demand address information. In this embodiment, the on-demand address information may be a jump URL, or may be a combination of an on-demand content ID and an on-demand play time. The on-demand content ID can also be a live channel number, and when the on-demand content ID is the live channel number, the on-demand playing time can not be transmitted.
The on-demand address information is created by a corresponding mobile phone APP (or a platform corresponding to the mobile phone APP) in a conventional mode through a jump URL, and the jump URL can be a relative address or an absolute address. When the playing address has a determined spelling mode, the mobile phone APP can organize a fixed jump URL, and the spelling of the playing address is used as the jump URL to be uploaded to the signaling platform.
The jump URL (the actual URL of each service EPG page) is a URL composed of the address of the play page plus the necessary parameters. The address of the playing page is divided into an absolute address and a relative address: absolute Address-Address starting with http:/; relative address-at/beginning, is applicable to the condition that the IP address and the playing port of playing are not fixed, and the mobile phone APP can not know the determined IP address and the playing port.
If the playing address does not have a definite spelling specification or a corresponding middleware of the set top box has a special playing mode (for example, a control page address is not simply called, but a method is called, and the like), the mobile phone APP cannot organize a jump URL, the on-demand content ID and the on-demand playing time are provided to a signaling platform as the standby mode, and the corresponding middleware automatically spells according to the parameters after receiving the on-demand content ID and the on-demand playing time.
Step 7, the signaling platform inquires the bound IP address IP, the playing port number port, the version number ver of the middleware and the interactive function instruction set funclist supported by the middleware according to the itvId, and determines whether the functions in the interactive instruction support according to the interactive function instruction set funclist and the version number ver of the middleware: if not, sending an instruction to a signaling platform interface through the mobile phone to return a failure to the mobile phone APP; if yes, sending an instruction to the signaling platform interface through the mobile phone to return success to the mobile phone APP, and entering step 8.
In this embodiment, the data returned to the mobile phone APP by the signaling platform sending the instruction to the signaling platform interface through the mobile phone is as shown in table 6 below:
Figure BDA0003421124940000082
Figure BDA0003421124940000091
TABLE 6
And 8, splicing the IP address IP, the playing port number port and the interaction instruction into an absolute path URL by the signaling platform, calling an interaction interface of the signaling platform and a box-end interaction service at the set top box end by the signaling platform, accessing the interaction service based on the spliced absolute path URL, and forwarding a push request to the specified set top box.
The interface protocol of the interactive interface between the signaling platform and the box-end interactive service is HTTP, the calling method is GET, and the data exchange format is JSON.
The absolute path URL is represented as follows:
http://[IP]:[PORT]/ott/sx2ottcmd=[]
wherein, the IP is an IP address IP bound to the current itvId; the PORT is a playing PORT number bound to the current itvId; the cmd is valid data and a JSON data structure, is transmitted to the set top box by an HTTP GET parameter and is subjected to URLENCE coding, and specifically shown in the following table 7:
Figure BDA0003421124940000092

The Param parameter fields contained in table 7 are shown in table 8 below:

Figure BDA0003421124940000094
Figure BDA0003421124940000101
TABLE 9
Step 9, the interactive service starts a monitoring service APK, and starts an HTTP Server in the monitoring service APK to monitor the push request forwarded by the signaling platform on the monitoring port (in this embodiment, the 8087 port). The monitoring service APK has the system authority of the set-top box operating system.
Step 10, the interactive service analyzes the effective data in the push request forwarded by the signaling platform, and obtains the function to be executed and the on-demand address information contained in the effective data.
Step 11, the interactive service calls a URL push interface provided by the middleware, and sends the on-demand address information to the middleware in a broadcast mode, where the data format is shown in table 10 below:
Figure BDA0003421124940000102
watch 10
The processing logic of the middleware for the on-demand address information is as follows:
1. if the jumpURL is not empty, namely a jump URL exists, only the jump URL corresponding to the jumpURL is processed, the middleware directly jumps according to a direct address corresponding to the jump URL or completes the played IP address IP and the played port number into an absolute path for jumping.
2. If jumpURL is empty, that is, there is no jump URL, the middleware plays according to the respective playing specifications through the values of action field and content field.
The on-demand address information is in a broadcasting form, a return value is not needed, the middleware receives the on-demand address information for processing, and a processing result can be displayed from a screen. Meanwhile, based on the consideration of user experience, the middleware can also regularly return a playing state (such as buffering/playing/encountering errors and the like) to the interactive service through the universal message interaction interface, and the interactive service can uniformly process the returned message.
The interactive service calls a general message interactive interface provided by the middleware, interacts with the middleware in a broadcast mode, sends the functional message to be executed to the middleware, and receives the message returned by the middleware. Specifically, the middleware receives a broadcast event transmitted by the interactive service, and analyzes data processing. After the middleware process is completed, a broadcast of the process result is sent to the interactive service.
In the above process, when any one of the mobile phone APP, the signaling platform, or the set top box requests another party for service, the service request data sent by the service requesting party to the service requested party includes the current timestamp time and the signature verification parameter sign. And the service requesting party adopts the service provided by the service requested party to be called only after the service requested party completes the signature verification on the service request based on the signature verification parameter sign.
The signature verification parameter sign is an encryption string and is generated in the following format: the key, the current server time, the parameter names and their values contained in the service request arranged according to the alphabetical order are combined, and the different fields are spaced by a separator (in this embodiment &). And after merging, carrying out md5 encryption to obtain an encrypted string, wherein the encrypted string is the signature verification parameter sign.
Such as: the current server time is 20111020135535, if the parameters of the original request are: if itvlid is 123 and cmd is abc, the encryption string is generated in the following manner:
assuming that the key is "be 36dd6f5733fa09d1349c53cf 28281337330217840", the separator is "&", the last part of the encryption string is "time &" + server time + "&" + key:
