Description

Invention name: control method and system of set top box

Technical field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and system for controlling a set top box.

Background technique

[0002] Set-top boxes are commonly used devices in the home, and existing set-top boxes have smart set-top boxes and non-smart set-top boxes. For set-top boxes, the data of existing set-top boxes is updated over a period of time, and the control of existing set-top boxes Mainly for remote control, this is no problem for young people, but this operation is not convenient for the elderly. For the elderly, the contact with electronic devices is late, and for electronic devices. Unskillful operation, in addition, due to the problem of presbyopia in the elderly, the font of the buttons on the remote control is not too clear, so there is an urgent need for a set-top box device technology that adapts to the control of the elderly.

[0003] An object of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling a set top box, which aims to solve the problem that the prior art scheme is inconvenient for the elderly.

Problem solution

Technical solution

[0004] In one aspect, a method for controlling a set top box is provided, and the method includes the following steps:

[0005] 101. Obtain location information of a current display interface of the television and a current icon;

[0006] 102. Display a remote controller image on the television and highlight the position of the predicted manipulation button.

[0007] Optionally, after the step 102, the method further includes:

[0008] A program shortcut channel is set for the highlighted control button, and the end point of the shortcut channel is displayed on the TV.

[0009] In another aspect, a set top box is provided, and the set top box includes:

[0010] a location obtaining unit, configured to acquire location information of a current display interface of the television and the current icon;

[0011] a display unit, configured to display a remote controller image on the television, and highlight the position of the predicted manipulation button [0012] Optionally, the display unit is further configured to set a program shortcut channel for highlighting the predicted manipulation button, and display an end point of the shortcut channel on the television.

Advantageous effects of the invention

Beneficial effect

[0013] In the embodiment of the present invention, the technical solution provided by the present invention provides a method for controlling a set top box, which displays an image of a remote controller and a pressed button position on a screen, which has a navigation function, so that it has an elderly person. The advantage of easy handling.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

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.

[0017] A specific embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a set top box. The method is as shown in FIG. 1 and includes the following steps:

[0018] 101. Obtain location information of a current display interface of the television and a current icon.

[0019] 102. Display a remote controller image on the television and highlight the position of the predicted manipulation button.

[0020] The method provided by the present invention highlights the image of the remote controller and the position of the predicted operation button. Since the image is displayed on the television, the image thereof is much larger, and in this case, the presbyopia of the elderly can be seen very clearly. In addition, since the predicted position of the manipulation button is highlighted, the elderly can directly manipulate according to the predicted manipulation button.

[0021] Optionally, the foregoing method may further include:

[0022] A program shortcut channel is set for the highlighted control button, and the end point of the shortcut channel is displayed on the television. [0023] This method can be used to control the television very conveniently. For example, the programs that the elderly generally watch are TV dramas or children's programs, and the above-mentioned shortcut channel is established, which can avoid complicated operations, and can also quickly facilitate the elderly to watch TV.

[0024] A specific embodiment of the present invention further provides a set top box, as shown in FIG. 2, the set top box includes:

[0025] The location obtaining unit 201 is configured to acquire location information of the current display interface of the television and the current icon. [0026] The display unit 202 is configured to display a remote controller image on the television and highlight the position of the predicted manipulation button.

[0027] Optionally, the set top box may further include:

[0028] The display unit 202 is further configured to set a program shortcut channel for highlighting the predicted manipulation button, and display the end point of the shortcut channel on the television.

The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and any modifications, equivalents, and improvements made within the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the present invention. Within the scope of protection of the invention.
