The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

The flowchart shown in the drawings is only an example, and does not necessarily include all contents and operations/steps, nor does it have to be executed in the described order. For example, some operations/steps can also be decomposed, combined or partially combined, so the actual execution order may be changed according to actual conditions.

It should be understood that the terms used in this specification of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. As used in this disclosure and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

The present disclosure provides a terminal device upgrade method, terminal device, control system and storage medium. The terminal device upgrade method can be applied to terminal devices, such as set-top boxes. Terminal devices can include electronic devices such as set-top boxes, mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, desktop computers, personal digital assistants, and wearable devices. Set-top boxes may include two-way set-top boxes, digital set-top boxes, network set-top boxes, and so on. It can be understood that the terminal device upgrade method of the present disclosure can be applied to servers, such as a single server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers, and the present disclosure does not specifically limit it.

The following takes the terminal device upgrade method applied to the terminal device as an example to explain the present disclosure. In the example, the terminal device may be a set-top box, and the implementation process of other terminal devices can refer to the specific implementation steps in the example of the set-top box, which will not be repeated in this disclosure.

Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the case of no conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a terminal device upgrade method provided by the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device upgrade method provided by the present disclosure includes step S101 to step S102.

In step S101, the software of the terminal device is upgraded, so that the terminal device after the software upgrade can communicate with the decoding server.

A terminal device such as a set-top box can be used to connect an external signal source and a display device, that is, the terminal device can be used to obtain video data to be played from an external signal source, decode the video data to be played, and decode the decoded video data Send to the display device for the display device to display the decoded video data to the audience for viewing. The external signal source can be a broadband network, cable, satellite antenna or terrestrial broadcasting, etc., and the display device can be a TV, a projector, etc.

With the pursuit of viewers to watch higher-resolution video data, the performance of the set-top boxes in many viewers’ homes is insufficient and unable to decode higher-resolution video data, resulting in users not being satisfied with watching higher-resolution video data. The user experience is not good.

Based on this, the inventor of the present disclosure believes that by pre-deploying decoding servers in multiple regions, the decoding servers are used to assist terminal devices in decoding higher-resolution video data, thereby improving the decoding capabilities of terminal devices and enabling terminal devices to deliver Higher resolution film source.

It should be noted that the decoding server may be configured with a decoding chip for decoding video data with a preset resolution. For example, the decoding chip of the existing set-top box can decode 2K resolution video data, and the decoding chip of the decoding server can decode 4K or 8K video data, which can significantly improve the set-top box to deliver higher resolution to the TV. Rate of film source capabilities. Alternatively, the decoding chip configured by the decoding server can decode at least one video data with a preset resolution, that is, the decoding chip can decode video data with a preset resolution of multiple streams at the same time.

Exemplarily, the software of the set-top box is upgraded, so that the set-top box after the software upgrade can communicate with the decoding server. For example, the software of the set-top box can be upgraded to establish a handshake protocol between the software-upgraded set-top box and the decoding server, and the software-upgraded set-top box can communicate with the decoding server according to the handshake protocol; or, the software can be upgraded The communication capability between the later set-top box and the decoding server is enhanced. For example, by upgrading the software of the set-top box, the communication program between the upgraded set-top box and the decoding server can be optimized, thereby enhancing the communication capability with the decoding server.

The step of upgrading the software of the terminal device may include: obtaining a software upgrade instruction, and downloading a corresponding software data package according to the software upgrade instruction; and upgrading the software of the terminal device based on the software data package. It should be noted that the software upgrade instruction may be sent by the user. For example, the user can send a software upgrade instruction to the set-top box through the remote control, the controls on the set-top box, etc.; or, the user can trigger the software upgrade instruction of the set-top box connected to the display device by operating the display device. After obtaining the software upgrade instruction, the set-top box downloads the corresponding software data package from the network according to the software upgrade instruction, and installs the software data package, thereby realizing the software upgrade of the set-top box.

Further, the step of downloading the corresponding software data package according to the software upgrade instruction includes: verifying the authority information carried in the software upgrade instruction, and if the verification is passed, downloading the software data package corresponding to the software upgrade instruction. The authority information includes, but is not limited to, the user's payment history information, authority level information, and authority remaining time.

The user can send a regular upgrade instruction to the terminal device. The regular upgrade instruction can be used to instruct the terminal device to upgrade the software at a preset time. For example, the user can control the set-top box to upgrade the software at 8 o'clock in the evening; or the regular upgrade instruction can also instruct the terminal The device upgrades the software after a preset time. For example, the user can control the set-top box to upgrade the software after 3 hours. It should be noted that after the terminal device obtains the timing upgrade instruction, it downloads the corresponding software data package from the network in advance according to the timing upgrade instruction, and installs the software data package when the timing upgrade conditions are met, thereby realizing the software upgrade of the terminal device .

After the decoding server is updated, the terminal device can obtain the update information of the decoding server, and upgrade the software of the terminal device according to the update information of the decoding server, so that the terminal device after the software upgrade can communicate with the updated decoding server , In turn, the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server can be re-established.

In step S102, a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server is established, so that the terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution.

The decoding server can be deployed according to the number of terminal devices. For example, one decoding server can be deployed near each thousand set-top boxes, that is, one decoding server can meet the decoding needs of one thousand set-top boxes nearby; or, the decoding server can be deployed according to the area of the area. For example, for every area of 10 square kilometers apart, one decoding server is deployed in the area, that is, one decoding server can meet the decoding needs of multiple set-top boxes in an area of 10 square kilometers. It is understandable that there may also be other ways to deploy the decoding server, and the above-mentioned deployment ways of the various decoding servers do not represent a limitation on the protection scope of the present disclosure.

After the software upgrade of the terminal device is completed, the terminal device can broadcast the detection data packet; receive the response information returned by the decoding server based on the detection data packet; and establish the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server according to the response information. It should be noted that the response information returned by the decoding server can carry the decoding server tag, and the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server can be established according to the decoding server tag, so that the terminal device can call the bound decoding server to Set the resolution of the video data to be decoded, so that the terminal device can put a higher resolution film source.

Further, the step of establishing a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server according to the response information includes: obtaining the decoding server label and the label of the terminal device carried in the response information; binding the label of the decoding server and the terminal device to Establish a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server. The binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server can be stored in the database or the memory of the terminal device, so that the terminal device can quickly call the bound decoding server according to the stored binding relationship.

When the software upgrade of the terminal device is completed, the terminal device can be restarted, and after the restart, the grouping information in the software data package used for software upgrade is obtained. The grouping information includes the label of the server decoded in the area where the terminal device is located; according to the grouping information , Send the detection data packet to the decoding server; detect whether the response information returned by the decoding server based on the sent detection data packet is received; and when the response information is detected, establish the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server according to the response information.

The terminal device can receive multiple response messages. According to the time point when the terminal device receives each response information, multiple receiving time points can be obtained; according to the multiple receiving time points, target response information is determined from the multiple response information; and the terminal is established according to the target response information The binding relationship between the device and the decoding server. It should be noted that the response information corresponding to the earliest receiving time point among the multiple receiving time points can be used as the target response information, and the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server corresponding to the target response information can be established. The terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution.

Alternatively, when the terminal device receives multiple response information, it may obtain the decoding capability value of the decoding server corresponding to each received response information to obtain multiple decoding capability values; according to the multiple decoding capability values, The target response information is determined from the multiple response information; and the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server is established according to the target response information. It should be noted that the response information corresponding to the largest decoding capability value among the plurality of decoding capability values may be used as the target response information, and the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server corresponding to the target response information may be established. The terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution.

Alternatively, when the terminal device receives multiple response messages, it can obtain the remaining binding capacity of the decoding server corresponding to each received response information to obtain multiple remaining binding capacities; according to the multiple remaining binding capacity Determine the target response information from the plurality of response messages with a fixed capacity; and establish a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server according to the target response information. It should be noted that the response information corresponding to the most remaining binding capacity among the plurality of remaining binding capacities may be used as the target response information, and the binding between the terminal device and the decoding server corresponding to the target response information can be established Relationship, so that the terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution. The remaining binding capacity may be the capacity remaining capable of binding the terminal device of the decoding server. For example, the set-top box receives the response information sent by the decoding server A, the decoding server B, and the decoding server C. The maximum binding capacity of the decoding server A, the decoding server B, and the decoding server C can be 1000, and the remaining binding capacity of the decoding server A It can be 500, the remaining binding capacity of decoding server B can be 600, and the remaining binding capacity of decoding server C can be 400, then the set-top box can select decoding server B with a remaining binding capacity of 600 as the target for binding.

After establishing the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server, the following steps may be further included: obtaining the decoding capability value of the bound decoding server; and obtaining the corresponding piece source push information according to the decoding capability value of the bound decoding server , And save the source push information. The video source push information may include multiple video sources corresponding to the decoding capability value.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2, the set-top box 10 obtains the decoding capability value of the bound decoding server 20, for example, 4.0. The decoding capability value of 4.0 may indicate that the decoding server can decode 4K resolution film sources. The set-top box 10 reports to the service server 30 that the current set-top box 10 supports the decoding capability of 4K resolution, and the service server 30 can push the 4K resolution film source channel information and the film source program information to the set top box 10. The set-top box 10 saves the 4K resolution film source channel information and film source program information pushed by the business server 30 to the memory, so that the 4K resolution film source channel information and film source program information pushed by the business server 30 after the display device is turned on Put it on the display device for the user to choose and broadcast.

If the terminal device does not receive the response returned by the decoding server based on the broadcast detection data packet, the terminal device's decoding capability value is obtained; and the source push information is obtained according to the terminal device's decoding capability value. The source push information may include the corresponding terminal device Multiple source of decoding capability value.

Alternatively, in the case of a binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server, when an abnormality of the bound decoding server is detected, the push of multiple video sources including the corresponding decoding ability value can be obtained according to the decoding ability value of the terminal device information. For example, due to an abnormality in the decoding server of a certain 8K program, the display device cannot play the source of the 8K program. In order not to affect the user's use, the abnormal decoding server is disconnected from the bound set-top box, and the set-top box reports the set-top box to the service server. For decoding capability value, the service server no longer pushes 8K programs, but pushes the source corresponding to the decoding capability value of the set-top box, for example, pushes 4K programs. When the abnormal decoding server completes the problem repair, the set-top box re-establishes the connection with the decoding server, and the service server pushes the 8K program to the user again. Advantageously, when an abnormality occurs in the bound decoding server, the software version of the set-top box does not need to be changed, so that the abnormality can be repaired without any sense without affecting the user's use.

After establishing the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server, it may also include: when a playback request for video data with a preset resolution is received, generating a video data decoding request according to the playback request; sending the video data decoding request to The bound decoding server, so that the bound decoding server obtains the corresponding video data based on the video data decoding request, decodes the video data, and sends the decoded video data to the terminal device; and obtains the bound decoding server to send The decoded video data, and output the decoded video data. It should be noted that the decoded video data can be expressed in the form of a video stream or multi-frame picture data. Without replacing the hardware part of the terminal device, the decoding capability of the terminal device can be greatly improved, so that the terminal device can deliver higher-resolution video data.

When the terminal device is an electronic device that carries a display screen, such as a mobile phone or a smart TV, the decoded video data can be output through the carried display screen; when the terminal device is an electronic device that does not carry a display screen, such as a set-top box, a smart refrigerator, or a smart controller At this time, the decoded video data can be sent to the electronic device carrying the display screen, so that the electronic device carrying the display screen can output the decoded video data.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a scenario for implementing the terminal device upgrade method provided by the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the user sends a playback request of video data with a preset resolution to the set-top box 10 through the display device 40; when the set-top box 10 receives the playback request, it generates a video data decoding request according to the playback request, and combines the generated video data The decoding request is sent to the bound decoding server 20, so that the bound decoding server 20 obtains corresponding video data from the network based on the video data decoding request, decodes the video data, and sends the decoded video data to the set-top box 10 ; The set-top box 10 delivers the decoded video data sent by the bound decoding server 20 to the display device 40 for the display device 40 to display the decoded video data for the user to watch.

According to the terminal device upgrade method provided in the present disclosure, the software of the terminal device is upgraded so that the terminal device after the software upgrade can communicate with the decoding server, and then the binding relationship between the terminal device and the decoding server is established, so that The terminal device can call the bound decoding server to decode the video data of the preset resolution. Without replacing the hardware part of the terminal device, the decoding capability of the terminal device is greatly improved, so that the terminal device can release higher-resolution film sources. At the same time, it greatly reduces the hardware cost and time cost of updating terminal equipment, can increase the amount of users' demand for ultra-high-definition resolution images and videos, and increase the broadcast efficiency of operators.
