Preferred embodiment of the invention

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for supporting an interactive chat while playing a program using the mobile TV terminal of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a description will be given of a processing flow for supporting an interactive chat function in a mobile phone television broadcast using the mobile terminal according to the present invention:

Step 110: The user starts the mobile TV client.

Step 120: Receive a CMMB television signal, and after decrypting and decoding, perform normal mobile TV program playback;

Step 130: When the user wants to chat with other client users, start the chat function of the mobile TV client. After receiving the user command, the chat sub-module sends a request for obtaining a user list to the system, to request the system to obtain the current viewing of the same TV. a list of other users of the program;

The chat function of the mobile TV client can be started by designing a button on the mobile TV broadcast interface, or by designing a shortcut key for this function on the mobile phone keyboard. Open the chat function The chat sub-module is launched.

Step 140: Receive a list of other users that are sent by the system to watch the same TV program. The mobile TV client may extract the currently viewed same TV program from the system side to the other user information list in the program header information structure sent by the mobile TV client. The other user list, the user information includes the television program information currently viewed by the user, and the mobile TV client extracts a list of other users currently watching the same television program.

The client list includes a user identifier of a user watching the same television program (for example, a personalized name set by the user), and the identifier may be a user name used by the user in the user authentication process before viewing the mobile TV program. Each user identifier corresponds to a network-wide unique identifier, so that a connection can be established with the client through the PS network during the interaction. The network-wide unique identifier can be composed of the terminal identifier and the user identifier.

Step 150: The local user selects a user who wants to interact from the client list, and the chat Tianzi module sends a chat request to the mobile TV client of the user;

The chat sub-module sends a chat request to another mobile TV client through the PS network.

Step 160: Receive a response from the client of the other party. If the peer mobile TV client rejects the chat request, the process ends. If the peer mobile TV client accepts the chat request, the next step is performed;

If the peer mobile TV client rejects the chat, it can also return to step 150, and the user can reselect other users who want to interact.

Step 170: The chat sub-module of the mobile TV client performs an activation operation of a PDP (Packet Data Protocol) link, and prepares to use the PS data link to transmit the chat data. The CMMB-based mobile TV program data is broadcasted by the broadcast network. The bearer and interactive chat information data can be carried by the PS (Packet Switch) data network. The different bearer networks can effectively solve the requirements of mobile TV broadcast and interactive chat concurrent.

Step 180: The chat sub-module of the local end interacts with the chat sub-module of the opposite end, and displays the chat content on the mobile TV client of the two parties. The chat content interaction includes: encoding and packaging the chat information acquired in real time through the network. Send, and obtain data from the network side, then perform the unpacking and decoding operation to decompose the chat content. Considering that the screen size of the mobile TV is limited, the chat window can be placed on one side of the TV program window, such as the left side or the right side, in order to minimize the influence on the user watching the TV.

When either party wants to end the chat, the chat can be ended by the button displayed on the mobile TV client chat interface. At this time, the chat sub-module sends a command to end the chat to the chat sub-module of the opposite end to end the chat session.

When a user in the chat process wants to switch channels, the chat sub-module will prompt the user that the chat process will be terminated. If the user confirms, the command to cut off the data link is sent, the chat process is terminated, and the other channels are switched. .

The mobile phone TV client of the present invention comprises a mobile phone television data transceiver sub-module, a display sub-module, a chat sub-module and an input sub-module, wherein:

The mobile phone television data transceiver sub-module is configured to receive the mobile phone television signal for playing, the client list sent by the receiving system is sent to the chat sub-module, and the receiving chat content sent by the target client is sent to the display sub-module, and between the receiving and transmitting users Chat content;

A display sub-module for displaying mobile TV program content, displaying a list of other users currently watching the same television program, and displaying the chat content.

The chat sub-module is configured to, after receiving the command for the user to initiate the interactive chat function, request the system to obtain another user list that currently watches the same television program, and receive a list of other user information in the program header information structure sent by the system, and extract the The other user list currently watching the same television program is sent to the display sub-module display; and is used to send a chat request to the peer selected by the user, and when the peer user returns a response to accept the chat request, activate the PDP link, and use The PS data link performs the transmission of the chat data; the chat sub-module is further configured to: when the user wants to end the chat, send a command to end the chat to the chat sub-module of the opposite end, end the chat process; and when the user wants to switch channels Sending a prompt message to the user, after the user confirms to terminate the chat, sending a command to cut off the data link, terminating the chat process, and switching to another channel;

The input sub-module, the user performs selection of the target client and input of the chat content. The mobile phone television client of the present invention further includes a mobile phone television data encryption and decryption sub-module and a mobile phone television data encoding and decoding sub-module, wherein the privacy setting is required in the transmission of the data, wherein

Mobile TV data transceiver sub-module, used for encrypted chat sent by the received target client The content is sent to the mobile TV data encryption and decryption sub-module for data decryption, and the chat content input by the local end encrypted by the mobile TV data encryption and decryption sub-module in the client is sent to the target client;

The mobile TV data encryption and decryption sub-module is configured to decrypt the encrypted chat content of the received target client and the mobile TV data, and send the decrypted data to the mobile TV data encoding and decoding sub-module for decoding, and the mobile TV The chat content input by the data encoding and decoding sub-module is encrypted and sent to the mobile phone television data transceiving sub-module;
