In order to solve the problem that the page of the set top box is not dynamically displayed in the prior art, the present invention provides a method and system for realizing dynamic display of an IPTV set top box page. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for implementing dynamic display of an IPTV set-top box page, which includes the following steps:

Step 101: Set a module to set a page dynamic special effect parameter that dynamically displays the page; Usually, the display information of the page is handled by the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) protocol. Therefore, by extending the existing CSS protocol on the HTML page, the page dynamic effect parameter for dynamically displaying the page is added to the CSS protocol. The setting of page dynamic effect parameters can be implemented. Of course, if there are other protocols responsible for the display of the page, then these protocols are extended, and the page dynamic effect parameters are added to these protocols, and the dynamic effect parameters of the page can also be set.

The page dynamic effect parameters include: the type of dynamic display of the page, and the specific parameters of the control page for dynamic display of the type. The types of dynamic display of the page include sliding, fade, transparent, gradient, etc., or user-operator or user-defined display. The specific parameters (hereinafter referred to as specific parameters) for the specific type of dynamic display on the control page are mainly related to the parameters necessary for realizing the dynamic display of the type. Different dynamic display types have different parameters necessary for realizing the dynamic display of the type. Taking the sliding as an example, the following includes: the time required for the entire sliding process, the sliding direction, the pixel value of the single sliding along the sliding direction, the ending coordinate of the X-axis after the sliding of the page is completed, the ending coordinate of the Y-axis after the sliding of the page is completed, The width of the page the page is to slide and the height of the page the page is to slide. Speed or other parameters can be included.

The setup module is used to represent the specific content of the page, and to extend the existing CSS protocol to include the parameters of the page dynamic effects. The parameters of the page dynamic effects determine how the page is displayed in a dynamic manner. The setup module can be on the IPTV system server side or on the set top box side.

Step 102: The browser parsing module parses the page dynamic special parameter when the set top box performs the page display, and obtains the page dynamic display information.

The browser parsing module is used to parse whether the page has a dynamic special effect, parse the page dynamic special effect parameter, and process the page dynamic special effect parameter to obtain the page dynamic display information. Through the set-top box communication mechanism, the page dynamic display information is transmitted to the special effect control module, and the special effect control module is notified to complete the specific special effect action.

The browser parsing module handles the dynamic effect parameter of the page, which means that the type of dynamic display is implemented. The necessary parameters are shown for coordinate calculation and conversion processing. Since the specific parameters are configured, they are all configured in numerical values, such as the direction to the right, the page height of 720, etc., but when the page dynamic display control is controlled by coordinates, therefore, the page dynamic effect parameters need to be calculated. The value of a specific parameter in the coordinate system, which is converted to coordinates. The browser parsing module is set on the set top box side.

Step 103: The special effect control module dynamically displays the information according to the page, and the control page dynamically displays according to the set dynamic display mode.

The special effect control module completes the specific operation of the special effect control according to the instruction of the page parsed by the browser parsing module, that is, dynamically displaying the page according to the coordinate value of the specific parameter obtained after parsing, which is the control core of the whole special effect process. The effect control module is set on the side of the set top box.

Step 104: The display module displays the dynamic display process of the page on the screen, that is: the display module displays the data to be displayed during the dynamic effect of the page to the screen. The display module is set on the side of the set top box.

In addition, since the image processing is performed when the control page of the special effect control module is dynamically displayed according to the set dynamic display mode, for example, image superposition, copying, etc., the above processing takes up a certain amount of CPU usage, and the relative configuration is performed. The lower set-top box CPU, in order to speed up the process of page dynamic effects and improve system performance, the above method can further separately process the image processing operations involved in the page dynamic special effects through the underlying hardware acceleration module. The underlying hardware acceleration module is equipped with an image processing program DSP (Digital Signal Processing), which performs image processing through an image processing program without occupying the CPU of the set-top box. The image processing program may be any image processing software of the prior art, as long as the image can be processed to satisfy the dynamic display of the image. The DSP sets the interface and is connected to the special effect control module to perform image processing on the data. The underlying hardware acceleration module is placed on the set top box side.

As shown in Figure 2, the dynamic display of the page is taken as an example of sliding display, and the detailed steps are as follows: Step 201: Extend the CSS protocol on the HTML page, and add a dynamic effect parameter of the page that dynamically displays the page, as follows:

Meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="slideTrans(Duration=2, Direction=up, perPx=100, Left=0, Top=0, Width=1280, Height=720)"

Where slideTrans indicates that the page is a sliding page;

Duration represents the time required for the entire sliding process, in seconds;

Direction indicates the sliding direction. There are four choices: left, right, up, down; perPx represents the pixel value of a single sliding change along the sliding direction;

Left indicates the end coordinates of the X axis after the page slide is completed;

To indicates the end coordinate of the Y axis after the page slide is completed;

Width indicates the width of the page to be swiped by the page;

Height indicates the height of the page the page is to slide.

Step 202: The browser parsing module parses the page dynamic special effect parameter.

If the content parsed by the browser parsing module into the HTML page has a parameter of slideTrans, it indicates that the page is to be swiped, and the specific parameters of the sliding are parsed, that is, the calculation and conversion on the left side; if the browser parsing module parses to If it is another special effect mode, it will perform other special effects control; if there is no special effect, no special effect control will be performed, and the page will be displayed on the screen according to the normal process.

Step 203, determining whether the page is dynamically displayed, that is, determining whether the content parsed into the HTML page has a parameter of slideTrans, if yes, obtaining the page dynamic display information, and then proceeding to step 204; if not, proceeding to step 206;

Step 204: The special effect control module dynamically displays the information according to the page, and the control page is dynamically displayed according to the sliding manner;

Step 205: The bottom hardware acceleration module performs image processing on the data to be processed according to the requirements of the special effect control module.

Step 206: The display module displays the page content on the screen. If it is displayed dynamically, then The display module displays the data processed by the underlying hardware acceleration module to the screen. If dynamic display is not required, no special effect control is performed, and the page is displayed on the screen according to a normal process.

In the above steps, the special effect control module performs dynamic display control on the page, which is the control core of the entire special effect process. The above process will be described in detail below in conjunction with Figure 3:

Step 301, the sliding starts;

Step 302: Display the page on the starting coordinate, and the coordinates of the starting position are calculated by the sliding parameter transmitted by the page. If a part of the page or the entire area exceeds the screen, the excess portion is not displayed;

Step 303: Calculate the total number of slides of the entire process according to the time required for the entire sliding process, the single sliding pixel value, and the distance between the starting coordinate and the ending coordinate of the sliding;

Step 304: Calculate a time interval of each sliding according to the time required for the entire sliding process and the calculated total number of sliding times;

Step 305: Start a timer, and the timing duration is a time interval of each sliding. Step 306: Calculate a new display position of the page on the screen according to the sliding pixel of each sliding and the display position of the current page on the screen. The coordinates of the new display position cannot exceed the termination coordinates, and if it is exceeded, the new display position coordinates are set to the termination coordinates;

Step 307, using the underlying hardware acceleration module to perform graphic processing on the page content according to the requirements of the special effect control module, thereby speeding up processing and improving system performance;

Step 308, the data processed by the underlying hardware acceleration module is displayed on a new display position of the screen;

Step 309, reducing the total number of slides by one;

In step 310, it is determined whether the total number of slides is 0. If the total number of slides is not 0, it means that the current slide has not ended yet, then the process proceeds to step 305, and the timer is continued. When the time is up, a new one is performed. If the total number of slides is 0, indicating that the page has slipped to the end position, go to step 311; In step 311, the sliding ends.
