Each factory set-top box has some unique data that identifies the identity of the set-top box, such as the set-top box serial number, motherboard number, MAC address, HDCP key, etc. These unique data cannot be obtained from the hardware information, and need to be written and written from the external device. The process of entering data is called the number writing process, and the writing number is an important part of the production process of the set-top box.

The writing number needs to be carried out through the production management system, which is responsible for generating the generation and management of the writing number data. The write number data is first configured and saved in the production database through the production management system. When the number is to be written, the device (the writing device as the server) where the production management system is located is connected with the set-top box (as the client), and the service is run. End and client programs, write numbers according to the write number operation.

Currently, there are two main ways to connect the server to the client: through a serial port connection or through a network connection, so the write number is also divided into a serial number or a network number. However, now both types of writing are single-numbering, that is, one writing operation can only write a number to a set-top box. However, the number of set-top boxes that need to be written in the production process is huge, and the single writing method requires a lot of processing.

Detailed ways

In order to make the objects, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application 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 application and are not intended to be limiting.

1 is a flow chart of a method for writing a set top box in an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps:

S10: Control multiple set-top boxes to establish a connection with the write number server through the wireless network, and the connection successfully controls the write number server to assign a device identifier to each set top box that is successfully connected.

Due to the single write number mode, one write operation can only write a number to a set top box. Each set top box will take a lot of time to write the serial number in series. Therefore, the method of the present application uses the parallel batch write method to perform the write operation on the set top box. Specifically, a plurality of set-top boxes to be written are connected to the write number server through a networking function of the wireless network. Priority is given to connecting multiple set-top boxes to the write number server over the router's wireless network.

Since the load capacity of the write number server is limited, the number of connected set top boxes needs to be limited. Otherwise, the load exceeding the write number server will cause the write number server to be defective. Therefore, the step further includes: determining whether the set top box connected with the write number server is out of load. Limit, if the load limit is exceeded, the batch number of each set-top box is detected, sorted according to the batch time of the write number, and the set-top box according to the sorting exceeding the load limit enters the queue waiting sequence.

In order to be able to clearly manage each set-top box, the device identification is displayed in both the write number server and the set-top box.

In order to manage the device identifier, the step further includes: creating a first list and a second list to store the device identifier, the first list storing all the device identifiers, and the second list storing the device identifiers of the server that has been connected to the write number; When the set top box establishes a connection with the write number server, the write number server searches for the corresponding device identifier from the first list and stores it in the second list. When the set top box is disconnected from the write number server, the write number server is from the second list. Remove the device ID assigned to the set-top box. This makes it clear to manage the set-top box.

S20: Obtain the device identifiers of all the set top boxes, and determine whether the write number data that all the set top boxes need to write is continuous data.

When the set-top box performs the write number operation, if the write number data of the set-top box is continuous data, the write number server performs a write operation on the set-top box, and can directly allocate a continuous write number data to automatically associate with the set-top box. However, it is also possible that the write number data of some set top boxes is non-contiguous on the write number server, then the write number server cannot directly allocate a continuous write number data to automatically associate with the set top box, so the first set of boxes needs to be judged when writing the set top box. Whether the write number data to be written is continuous data, so that different write numbers are used.

S30: If the data is continuous, the server is controlled according to the number N of the set top boxes, and the consecutive N number data is sequentially associated with the set top box device identifier.

If it is continuous data, the method of the present application can adopt the automatic association mode, and the write number server automatically associates the stored consecutive N number of write data according to the number N of the set top boxes, so that each time the number operation is performed, it is not necessary to do each time Both correspond to the correspondence between different devices and write number data, which greatly improves the efficiency of writing numbers.

To prevent omission when the write number server automatically associates the write number data, this step adds a write number indicator to the write number server, stores the last write number, and writes the number of lines in the database of the write number server. When the write number data is automatically associated, according to the value of the write number indicator, the write number data of the next line, combined with the number N of the set top boxes, is automatically associated with the set top box in turn, thus effectively avoiding the omission of the write number data.

S40: If it is not continuous data, the set-top box that finds the non-contiguous data is manually associated, and then controls the write number server to automatically associate the consecutive M number-of-write data with the M set-top box device identifiers according to the number M of the remaining set-top boxes.

If the write number data of the set top box is not continuous data, the automatic association method cannot be used for the write number operation. For the set top box of the non-continuous data, the step of the write number data is manually connected. After the non-continuous data is manually associated, the remaining M set-top boxes are automatically associated with the write number data, so that the assignment of the write number data is completed by manual association and automatic association.

After the automatic writing or manual association is associated with the set-top box, the associated writing number data can be simultaneously written into the corresponding set-top box, and the batch writing number is completed, which is fast and convenient, saves a lot of time, greatly improves production efficiency and reduces Cost of production.

Meanwhile, the application also provides a set top box numbering system, as shown in FIG. 2, the system includes:

The wireless connection module 100 controls a plurality of set top boxes to establish a connection with the write number server through the wireless network, and the connection successfully controls the write number server to respectively assign a device identifier to each set top box that is successfully connected.

Due to the single write number mode, one write operation can only write a number to a set-top box. Each set-top box will take a lot of time to write the serial number in series. Therefore, the system of the present application uses the parallel batch write method to write the number of the set-top box. Specifically, the wireless connection module 100 establishes a connection between the plurality of to-be-written number set-top boxes and the write number server through the networking function of the wireless network. Priority is given to connecting multiple set-top boxes to the write number server over the router's wireless network.

Because the load capacity of the write number server is limited, the number of connected set top boxes needs to be limited. Otherwise, the load exceeding the write number server will cause the write number server to be defective. Therefore, the step further includes: the wireless connection module 100 determines that the connection with the write number server is established. Whether the set-top box exceeds the load limit. If the load limit is exceeded, the batch number of each set-top box is detected, and the batch number is sorted according to the batch time of the write number. The set-top box that sorts out the load limit enters the queue waiting sequence.

In order to be able to clearly manage each set top box, the wireless connection module 100 displays the device identification on both the write number server and the set top box.

To better manage the device identifier, the wireless connection module 100 creates a first list and a second list to store the device identifier, the first list stores all device identifiers, and the second list stores the device identifiers that have been connected to the write number server; When the set top box establishes a connection with the write number server, the write number server searches for the corresponding device identifier from the first list and stores it in the second list. When the top set box is disconnected from the write number server, the write number server is from the second list. Delete the device ID assigned to the set-top box. This makes it clear to manage the set-top box.

The data continuous detecting module 200 obtains the device identifiers of all the set top boxes, and determines whether the writing number data that all the set top boxes need to write is continuous data.

When the set-top box performs the write number operation, if the write number data of the set-top box is continuous data, the write-number server controls the write-number operation of the set-top box, and can directly allocate a continuous write number data to automatically associate with the set-top box. However, it is also possible that the write number data of some set top boxes is non-continuous on the write number server, and the control write number server cannot directly allocate a continuous write number data to automatically associate with the set top box, so the first set of boxes needs to be judged when writing the set top box. Whether the write number data to be written is continuous data, so that different write numbers are used.

The automatic association module 300, if it is continuous data, controls the write number server to automatically associate the consecutive N write number data with the set top box device identifier according to the number N of the set top boxes.

If it is continuous data, the method of the present application can adopt the automatic association mode, and the automatic association module 300 controls the write number server to automatically associate the stored consecutive N number of write data according to the number N of the set top boxes, so that the number is written each time. It is not necessary to configure the correspondence between different devices and write number data each time during operation, which greatly improves the efficiency of writing numbers.

In order to prevent omission when the write number server automatically associates the write number data, the auto-association module 300 adds a write number indicator to the write number server, stores the last write number, and writes the number of lines in the database of the write number server. When the write number data is automatically associated, according to the value of the write number indicator, the write number data of the next line, combined with the number N of the set top boxes, is automatically associated with the set top box in turn, thus effectively avoiding the omission of the write number data.

The manual association module 400, if not continuous data, finds the set-top box of the non-contiguous data for manual association, and then controls the write number server to sequentially perform the M number of write number data with the M set-top box device identifiers according to the number M of the remaining set-top boxes. Automatic association.

If the write number data of the set top box is not continuous data, the automatic number association mode cannot be used for the write number operation, and the set top box of the non-continuous data is associated with the write number data by manual association. After the non-continuous data is manually associated, the remaining M set-top boxes are automatically associated with the write number data, so that the assignment of the write number data is completed by manual association and automatic association.

The write number operation module 500 simultaneously writes the write number data associated with the set top box to the corresponding set top box to complete the write number.
