Description

Hierarchical storage method based on data broadcast data organization
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of digital set top boxes, and particularly relates to a hierarchical storage method based on data broadcast data organization.
Background
DVB Project (Digital Video Broadcasting Project, digital video broadcasting organization) is an industry organization consisting of more than 300 members, which is initiated by a joint expert group consisting of the european telecommunication standardization organization, the european electronic standardization organization and the european broadcasting union. DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting ) is a series of internationally recognized digital television public standards maintained by DVB Project.
The DSM-CC (Digital Storage Media Command and Control, digital storage media command and control extension protocol) is an important component of the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting ) standard. The DSM-CC OC (Object Carousel) is a broadcast service supporting a server to periodically transmit data modules to a user terminal, encapsulates data using a BIOP (broadcast inter-ORB protocol) format, and refers to the encapsulated data as an Object. Wherein the encapsulated data objects are repetitively broadcast in a broadcast data stream. By parsing these objects, it is possible to build a corresponding file directory and parse out the data of the corresponding object of the DSM-CC, such as pictures, texts, etc.
The front end of the data broadcasting network inserts NIT (Network Information Table ), BAT (Bouquet Association Table, service group association Table), PAT (Program Association Table ), PMT (Program Map Table, program map Table), SDT (Service Description Table ), TDT (Time & Date Table), and DSM-CC object carousel information into the transport stream for providing the data broadcasting service.
With the development of digital broadcast television, programs are more and more, the richness of the programs is higher and more, and more multimedia information including multilingual texts, pictures and even audios and videos is carried. The amount of data inserted in the transport stream by the data broadcast network front end is also increasing. In the data broadcasting service, a large amount of DSM-CC data exists, and the actually transmitted file catalogue and the files in the catalogue are respectively stored in different DSM-CC object carousel data. The data broadcast parsing process is complicated because the DSM-CC object carousel is periodically and circularly transmitted in the broadcast data stream. There are two implementations of traditional data broadcast services:
1. the method comprises the steps of receiving and analyzing data broadcast data in real time, filtering and analyzing the data in real time because the data is not prepared in advance, and filtering and storing the data in equipment generally because DSM-CC object carousel data is circularly transmitted in the broadcast data, so that the data acquisition speed is low, the customer experience is poor;
2. the problem of slow data request can be solved by storing all the data broadcast data after receiving and analyzing, and a large space is usually required to be opened up in the memory for receiving the DSM-CC object carousel data, and the corresponding file is stored after analyzing. Since the DSM-CC object carousel data in the conventional data broadcast service is not optimized, all the data needs to be filtered and stored, and both the memory and the storage capacity are required. There are limitations in use on low cost products, which are generally not available.
The low-cost set top box cannot configure a large-capacity memory and storage due to the cost problem, so that data broadcasting cannot be received or all the data broadcasting cannot be stored after receiving and analyzing. The low-cost set-top box cannot support the data broadcasting service due to the limitations, or is unfavorable for the popularization and sales of the product due to poor experience even if the data broadcasting service is supported.
