With the popularity of the Internet of Things, smart home technology, etc., device-to-device co-operation technology has gradually been valued, and technologies related to TV set-top boxes that have penetrated into each home have also developed rapidly.

In related applications of set-top boxes, several known technologies have been implemented for controlling set-top boxes through smart phones. However, on the contrary, if the user only watches the program in front of the TV and the mobile device happens to be away Surrounding, or placed elsewhere, the above situation prevents users from real-time understanding of what is happening on mobile devices, which is obviously a major problem for modern people who rely heavily on mobile phones and mobile devices.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, it is necessary to develop a technology that can process transactions on mobile devices in real time through the set-top box.

The present invention provides a system for controlling a mobile device through a set-top box, which mainly includes the following modules: a mobile message sub-module, which is set on a mobile device owned by a user, which can Transmits the status of the application on the mobile device to a database storage, such as the number of seconds or number of uses of the application; an analysis server, which is used to execute a behavior analysis algorithm, The behavior analysis algorithm is used to analyze information such as the used state of the application on the mobile device stored in the database to obtain the respective dependency weight values of the applications, and according to the order of the dependency weight values, The highly dependent application is selected as a notification set, and the analysis server transmits the selected notification set to the mobile message submodule on the mobile device, so that the mobile message submodule starts to collect information about the notification set. Application-linked data.

A device information sub-module is set on a set-top box owned by the user, and the set-top box is connected to the display device setting, so that the user can watch TV programs or video screens, and the device information sub-module can receive Application-related data about the notification set transmitted by the mobile message sub-module, and dynamically presenting the application-related data on the display device connected to the set-top box, so that users can understand the notification set in real time And the device information sub-module can further receive feedback commands initiated by the user for the applications in the notification set through the set-top box, and transmit the feedback instructions to the mobile message sub-module, so that The mobile message sub-module drives the mobile device to execute the user's feedback instruction, and the mobile message sub-module can present the result of the feedback instruction executed on the mobile device on the display device connected to the set-top box, so that the user You can understand the effect of its operation on mobile devices.

The mobile message sub-module transmits the selected application-related data of the notification set to the device message sub-module set on the set-top box; 5. through the device message sub-module Dynamically presenting the application association data of the notification set on the display device connected to the set-top box, wherein the device information submodule is based on the function type of the application in the notification set to Relevant data is classified and displayed on the display device connected to the set-top box. For example, the user can switch to the message notification interface on the display device through the remote control to read the dynamics of the applications in the notification set; 6. Information through the device The submodule receives the feedback command initiated by the user for the application in the notification set from the set-top box, and transmits the feedback command to the mobile message submodule. For example, the user can notify the message on the display device through the remote control. Input feedback commands in the interface to respond to the dynamics of the applications in the notification collection; 7. Make the mobile device through the mobile message sub-module Command line user feedback;. The apparatus 8 through the submodule message back to the instruction execution result of the mobile device is presented on a display device coupled to the set-top box.

In the above method for controlling a mobile device through a set-top box, the behavior analysis algorithm is extremely important, and it is used to find out that the user has a higher interest or relatively important application or application-related information, and The behavior analysis algorithm includes at least the following steps: 1. Calculate the ratio of seconds used (CS) in the cycle of an application. The calculation method of the ratio of seconds used in the cycle can be: , among them, Is used to indicate the number of seconds that the application runs in a set period, and It is used for the total execution seconds of the entire application in the set period. Therefore, the use of the seconds ratio (CS) in an application period means that the number of executions of the application in a set period is compared to the setting. The ratio of the total execution times of the overall application in the cycle; 2. Then, for the same application, calculate the ratio of the number of times of use in the cycle, and the calculation method of the ratio of the number of times of use in the cycle (UT) can be: ,among them, Is used to indicate the number of times the application is executed in a set period, and It is the total number of executions of the entire application within the set period. Therefore, the usage ratio (UT) in an application period represents the number of executions of the application in a set period compared to the setting. The ratio of the total number of executions of the overall application in the cycle; 3. Calculate the dependency weight value of the application, that is, multiply the ratio of the number of seconds in the cycle (CS) and the ratio of the number of times in the cycle (UT) by the application The result of the option weight value of the previous week, where the cycle weight value represents a preset value that the user assigns different degrees of weighting to each cycle, however, the sum of the weighting values of the cycles in the cycle weight value must equal one, The calculation method of the dependency weight value is a value obtained by juxtaposing CS and UT as a column vector, and then multiplying the row vector by the weighted value of each period. The calculated dependency weight value represents the user's response to the The importance or dependence of the application.

After the behavior analysis algorithm repeatedly calculates the dependency weight value of each application on the mobile device, then it is necessary to select a number of applications with the highest user dependency, and only need to decrease each application based on the dependency weight value. After sorting, a plurality of presets are selected as the notification set, and the notification set may be set to have an upper limit value to prevent the amount of messages to be notified to the user from being too complicated.

However, in addition to this, the present invention allows users to customize application delivery rules, that is, users can choose important and urgent applications by themselves must be selected into the notification set so that users will not miss the Information about some applications.
