The invention will now be described in detail in conjunction with the preferred embodiments and embodiments.

The preferred embodiment proposes a method and system for customizing dynamic modification of the set top box application interface and business process in real time by the user by simply dragging and clicking on the screen of the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal in the present invention is not limited to a smart phone, but may be other terminal devices such as a Pad.

An application editing module is deployed on the mobile terminal, and the module can display the interface style and layout of the current application. The user can manually drag and click on the terminal screen to control the style and layout of the control and the specific business operations corresponding to each control. edit. And generate corresponding description files according to the interface and business operations edited by the user. The mobile terminal can also select a target set top box that needs to update the interface and business process.

The mobile terminal is connected to the application server, sends the edited corresponding description file to the application server, and specifies the target set top box that needs to update the application version. A compiling module is deployed on the application server, and after obtaining the corresponding description file, a new version of the application is automatically compiled according to the same. Then notify the target set-top box to download the updated application file.

The target smart set-top box is interconnected with the application server via a network. The set-top box downloads a new version of the application from the application server to cover the old version of the application on the set-top box, launching and displaying the new application.

The preferred embodiment changes the implementation of the application interface and services by dynamically interpreting the configuration file. The set-top box obtains the updated complete application. The application (using the Android system's APK application as an example) is free to install and deploy on the corresponding smart set-top box, upgrade and replace, open and close the application in a standard way, and apply the package. Good performance; faster than dynamically interpreting configuration files.

The steps of the preferred embodiment are as follows:

Step 1: The mobile terminal connects to the application server through the network, and obtains an interface and an operation description file corresponding to the current set top box application on the server.

Step 3: The user opens the application editing module on the mobile terminal, adjusts the position and size of the interface control by manually dragging and dropping on the screen, adjusts the skin and texture of the interface control, and edits buttons and the like according to common operations such as clicking and long pressing. Business operations (such as adding a new poster image, and specifying that the remote control determines that the poster image is selected and the application jumps to the "Latest Movies of the Week" column). After the user completes the editing, a description file of the edited application interface and business operations is generated.

Step 4: The mobile terminal initiates a network request, and sends the updated description file and the image required for the interface display to the application server through the network link.

Step 5: After receiving the updated description file and the image file, the application server overwrites the file into the code folder corresponding to the application, and compiles the entire code to generate a new version (higher version number) application. The application server then notifies the one or more target set-top boxes of the specified range that the corresponding application has a new version to be upgraded according to the settings of the mobile terminal or the update policy deployed by itself.

Step 6. The set top box is connected to the application server to determine whether the application version number on the server is higher than the version number of the local application of the set top box. If the version number on the server side is higher, download the updated version of the application.

Step 7. After the new version of the set-top box is downloaded to the set-top box, replace the original application file. Restart the app and show the new interface style through the TV screen.

Compared with other video viewing experience sharing methods, the preferred embodiment has the advantage that the user can modify his own set top box application interface in real time and dynamically, and reposition the business logic of the set top box application. It's no longer just the user of the application, but the designer of the application that really becomes the WYSIWYG, adjusts and modifies its own set-top box application. Moreover, the user of the mobile terminal can simultaneously update the interface and service operation of the specified one or more target set top boxes at a time.

The present invention further provides another preferred embodiment, the mobile terminal is a big screen smart phone, the set top box is an Android set top box; the mobile phone and the application server are connected through a wide area network (public network); the application server and the set top box are through a private network (such as an IPTV private network) or The WAN (public network) is connected. In this embodiment, the IPTV private network is taken as an example. The mobile phone and the set-top box may not communicate with each other.

An OTT video client application has been deployed on the smart set-top box to display the video programs provided on the media content server side. In this embodiment, the mobile client is used to dynamically customize and update the interface of the set top box video application.

As shown in FIG. 7, the application server spans two network planes of a public network and an IPTV private network; and the mobile phone and the application server exchange and file through HTTP messages. Delivery; the application server interacts with the set-top box through TCP messages and transfers files via the ftp protocol.

FIG. 8 is a timing diagram of dynamically setting a set top box application using a mobile terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the implementation steps are as follows:

Step S801: The mobile phone client initiates an Http request to the application server, and requests a current description file of the current set top box video application interface and operation.

Step S802: The mobile client downloads the latest xml description file from the management server by using an Http GET method.

Step S803: The mobile phone client (application editing module) displays the style and layout of each control component in the edit mode according to the acquired set top box video application interface description file, and correspondingly controls the remote control button selection response of each control and the operation logic. .

Step S804: The user adds a picture display control by dragging on the screen of the mobile phone, and sets the skin map of the control as a latest movie poster picture. The control's remote control button selection response is defined by clicking and selecting to jump to the "This Week's Latest Movie" video section page.

Step S805, the mobile phone client application editing module generates an xml description file of the current edit according to the modification made by the user, where the type and ID of the newly added picture control are defined in the description file; the coordinate value and the size of the top left corner are used to describe the The position and size of the control; save the image path and name of the skin map of the control; and specify the response of the remote control button selection in the description file: Jump to the Activity of "This Week's Latest Movie".

Step 806: The mobile client encapsulates the generated xml description file with the newly added movie poster image, and uploads it to the application server by using the Http POST method.

Step S807, the application server side deploys a compilation module and source code of the application. After receiving the changed files (changed description files and new image files), the application server replaces the files in the original code, and triggers the automatic compilation script to compile and generate a new version (the version number is automatically accumulated). Apk application file.

Step S808: The application server notifies one or more target set-top boxes according to the target set-top box selected by the mobile phone client or the set-top box update policy deployed by the server, the application file is updated, the software version needs to be upgraded, and the current application is included in the notification message. Software version number.

Step S809: After receiving the notification message that the software version needs to be updated and upgraded, the target set-top box compares with the version number of the local application. If the version number of the new version is higher than the version number of the local application, the set top box upgrade module accesses the specified ftp address of the application server, downloads the updated application installation file, and replaces the original application installation file of the set top box.

Step S810, after completing the step S809, the set-top box video application is restarted to display the new interface, and the new control "This week's latest movie" is displayed in the set-top box video application, using the set-top box remote control to select the control and click the "confirm" button. The application interface jumps to the "New Movies of the Week" section.

Since the application server compiled in the present invention generates a complete APK application, it has good encapsulation and greatly improves the scalability of the system.
