Fig. 6a is a flowchart of a service management method of a hybrid set-top box provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The service management method provided in Fig. 6a is the service management method provided in Fig. 5. The service management information is used to guide the hybrid set-top box Concrete implementation when recording TV programs. As shown in Figure 6a, the service management method includes:

Step S201: the hybrid set-top box sends the user identification to the service management device.

As described in the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the user ID may be the user ID sent by the hybrid set-top box when accessing the IP network, or the user ID carried in the service request by the hybrid set-top box, or the user ID carried by the hybrid set-top box in the request User ID sent when business management information.

Step S202: The service management device acquires service management information corresponding to the user identifier according to the user identifier.

Specifically, the service management information may include at least one of a service control policy and a service control instruction based on the service control policy.

In this embodiment, the service control policy includes one or more of the following policies:

1. When the storable space is less than or equal to the space threshold, prompt the user;

2. When the storage space is less than the capacity of the TV program, it is forbidden to record the TV program;

3. When the storage space is less than the capacity of the TV program, the recorded TV program will overwrite the TV program with the earliest storage time;

4. Create recording tasks based on TV programs;

5. When multiple TV programs form a collection, create a recording task with the collection as a unit;

6. Send a recording task creation request to the video management platform, and receive the recording task created by the video management platform according to the recording task creation request;

7. When there are multiple TV programs with the same content, select a TV program from multiple TV programs with the same content to create a recording task;

8. When there are multiple TV programs with the same content, create recording tasks for multiple TV programs with the same content;

9. Create a recording task for a TV program, and the TV program with the same content as the TV program has been deleted;

10. It is forbidden to create recording tasks for TV programs, and TV programs with the same content as TV programs have been deleted;

11. When the TV program is finished playing, delete the TV program.

Specifically, for the first type of service control strategy, the hybrid set-top box first determines the remaining capacity (that is, the storage space) of the hard disk (which can be an internal hard disk or an external hard disk of the hybrid set-top box), which can be obtained by accessing the hard disk; The storage time is compared with the preset space threshold, and the user is prompted when the storable space is less than or equal to the space threshold. For example, the space threshold is 2M, the available storage space is 1M, and 1M<2M, at this time, the action of prompting the user is executed. For another example, the space threshold is still 2M, the storage space of TV programs is 5M, and 5M>2M, and the action of prompting the user is not executed at this time.

In practical applications, the way to prompt the user can be to display a prompt message indicating that the storage space is insufficient on the output page of the Electronic Program Guide (EPG), as shown in Figure 7a; light, as shown in Figure 7b, at this time the user can check the instruction manual of the hybrid set-top box to know that the storage space is insufficient. Furthermore, the method of prompting the user can also be used as a service control strategy. For example, the service control strategy includes displaying a prompt message of insufficient storage space on the output page of the electronic program guide when the storage space is less than or equal to the space threshold, or When the available storage space is less than or equal to the space threshold, the indicator light is on.

Of course, the service control strategy may not include the first point, and at this time, when the storable space is less than or equal to the space threshold, the user is not prompted.

For the second and third business control strategies, the hybrid set-top box first determines the remaining capacity of the hard disk (that is, the storage space) and the capacity of the TV program before recording the TV program. The remaining capacity of the hard disk can be obtained by accessing the hard disk. The capacity of the TV program It can be obtained from the EPG provided by the EPG system; then compare the storable space with the capacity of the TV program. When the storable space is less than the capacity of the TV program, the recording of the TV program can be prohibited, or the recorded TV program can be overwritten The oldest TV show is stored.

In practical applications, when the service control policy is sent to the hybrid set-top box for the first time, the service control policy sent for the first time can include the second and third service control policies at the same time, and the hybrid set-top box will use the second and third types The service control policy is output to the user for selection, and the service control policy (such as the third service control policy) selected by the user is fed back to the service management device, and the service management device deletes the service control policy not selected by the user from the service control policy corresponding to the user ID strategy (the second kind of service control strategy), the service control strategy sent to the hybrid set-top box thereafter includes the service control strategy selected by the user (the third kind of service control strategy) and does not include the service control strategy that the user does not select (the second kind of service control strategy strategy) to meet the individual needs of users.

Furthermore, when the user selects the third service control strategy, when the first service control strategy is executed, the user is further prompted to create a recording service again, which will cause the TV program with the earliest storage time to be overwritten, and the user is advised to watch or clear the stored TV program as soon as possible. space. Specifically, the prompt information can be displayed through the EPG page.

For the 4th, 5th, and 6th business control strategies, the recording task can be created by the hybrid set-top box, or the hybrid set-top box can send a recording task creation request to the video management platform, and then receive the video management platform according to the recording task creation request Created recording tasks. At the same time, because the types of recorded TV programs include movies, TV series, variety shows, etc., wherein TV series usually include multiple episodes of TV programs. Create recording tasks for episodes of TV programs, such as creating a recording task for the first episode "Ode to Joy", creating a recording task for the second episode "Ode to Joy", ..., creating a recording task for the 42nd episode "Ode to Joy" , that is, to create a recording task in units of TV programs; you can also create a recording task for all the TV programs included in the TV series as a whole, such as creating a recording task for 42 episodes of "Ode to Joy", that is, a collection of multiple TV programs. Units create recording tasks.

In practical applications, when a recording task is created in units of collections, according to the TV programs in the EPG in real time, sub-recording tasks are created in units of TV programs under the created recording task to record the TV programs. For example, create a recording task for the 42 episodes of "Ode to Joy", but the current TV program list only has the first episode "Ode to Joy", the second episode "Ode to Joy", ..., the tenth episode "Ode to Joy", then According to the recording task of "Ode to Joy", automatically create a sub-recording task for the first episode "Ode to Joy", automatically create a sub-recording task for the second episode "Ode to Joy", ..., automatically create a sub-recording task for the tenth episode "Ode to Joy" "Create a sub-recording task to realize the recording of the first episode "Ode to Joy" to the tenth episode "Ode to Joy". When the 11th episode "Ode to Joy" and the 12th episode "Ode to Joy" are updated in the electronic program list, then according to the recording task of "Ode to Joy", a sub-recording task will be automatically created for the 11th episode "Ode to Joy". Create a sub-recording task for the 12th episode "Ode to Joy" to realize the recording of the 11th episode "Ode to Joy" and the 12th episode "Ode to Joy".

Similarly, when the service control policy is sent to the hybrid set-top box for the first time, the service control policy sent for the first time may include the fourth, fifth, and sixth service control policies, and the hybrid set-top box will send the fourth, fifth, and sixth service control policies. The fifth and sixth service control strategies are output to the user for selection, and the service control strategy (such as the fourth service control strategy) selected by the user is fed back to the service management device, and the service management device obtains the service control strategy corresponding to the user identification Delete the service control policy that the user does not select (the fifth and sixth service control policies), and then the service control policy sent to the hybrid set-top box includes the service control policy selected by the user (the fourth service control policy) and does not include the user's There are no selected service control strategies (the fifth and sixth service control strategies), which can meet the individual needs of users.

For the seventh and eighth service control strategies, since recorded TV programs are divided according to TV channels and broadcast times, the content of at least one TV program with different TV channels and broadcast times may be the same, such as The 38th episode "Ode to Joy" broadcast on Dragon TV at 09:04 on May 9, 2016, and the 38th episode "Ode to Joy" also broadcast on Dragon TV at 10:27 on May 9, 2016, you can only watch one of them at this time The 38th episode "Ode to Joy" is recorded, that is, a TV program is selected from multiple TV programs with the same content to create a recording task to save storage space; it can also be recorded for each 38th episode "Ode to Joy", namely Create recording tasks for multiple TV programs with the same content.

As another example, combined with business management information, it is also used to guide the hybrid set-top box to download TV programs from the video management platform. If the created download task includes the 38th episode "Ode to Joy", the created recording task also includes the 38th episode "Ode to Joy" , you can combine the download task and the recording task, download the 38th episode "Ode to Joy" from the video management platform and establish an association with the recording task, or record the 38th episode "Ode to Joy" and establish an association with the download task; you can also Both downloaded the 38th episode "Ode to Joy" from the video management platform, and recorded the 38th episode "Ode to Joy".

The ninth and tenth service control strategies are further service control strategies when the service control strategy includes the seventh service control strategy. After selecting a TV program from multiple TV programs with the same content to create a recording task, the TV program recorded according to the recording task will be deleted. At this time, you can allow the creation of recording tasks for the unselected TV programs, or prohibit the creation of recording tasks for the unselected TV programs. Create recording tasks for TV shows. For example, the 40th episode of "Ode to Joy" broadcast by Dragon TV at 19:33 on May 9, 2016, the 40th episode of "Ode to Joy" broadcast by Zhejiang Satellite TV at 19:33 on May 9, 2016, Dragon TV in May 2016 The 40th episode "Ode to Joy" broadcast at 09:04 on the 10th, and the 40th episode "Ode to Joy" broadcast on Dragon TV at 10:27 on May 10, 2016. The hybrid set-top box chooses to create a recording task for the 40th episode "Ode to Joy" played by Dragon TV at 19:33 on May 9, 2016 at 12:00 on May 9, 2016, and before 20:24 on May 9, 2016 Completed the recording of the 40th episode "Ode to Joy". The user finished watching the recorded 40th episode "Ode to Joy" at 22:00 on May 9, 2016 and deleted it, and requested to record the TV series "Ode to Joy" at 8:00 on May 10, 2016. At this time, the hybrid set-top box may not Create a recording task for the 40th episode, and you can also start the 40th episode "Ode to Joy" broadcast on Dragon TV at 09:04 on May 10, 2016, and the 40th episode "Happy" broadcast on Dragon TV at 10:27 on May 10, 2016. Choose one to create a recording task in "Ode", you can also create a recording task for Dragon TV's 40th episode "Ode to Joy" broadcast at 09:04 on May 10, 2016, and create a recording task for Dragon TV at 10:27 on May 10, 2016 Play the 40th episode "Ode to Joy" to create a recording task.

Similarly, when the service control strategy is sent to the hybrid set-top box for the first time, the service control strategy sent for the first time may include the seventh and eighth service control strategies at the same time, or include the seventh, eighth, and For the ninth and tenth service control strategies, the hybrid set-top box outputs several service control strategies included in the service control strategy sent for the first time to the user for selection, and the service management device modifies the service control strategy corresponding to the user ID according to the user selection, and thereafter The modified service control strategy is sent to the hybrid set-top box, including the service control strategy selected by the user, so as to meet the personalized requirements of the user.

For the tenth service control strategy, if the user's play record shows that the user only watches all the TV programs once, they can be deleted after the TV programs are played to make full use of the storage space.

Preferably, the business management method may also include:

The service management device obtains feedback information, and the feedback information includes at least one of user identification, service control strategy selected by the user, play record and storage record;

The service management device establishes the corresponding relationship between the user ID and the service control strategy according to the feedback information.

Specifically, as mentioned above, according to the service control strategy selected by the user, the corresponding relationship between the user ID and one of the second and third types of service control strategies can be established, and the user ID and the fourth and fifth types of service control strategies can be established. , and a corresponding relationship between a service control strategy in the sixth type, establish a corresponding relationship between the user identification and a service control strategy in the seventh and eighth types, and establish the corresponding relationship between the user identification and the ninth and tenth types The corresponding relationship of a business control strategy.

Whether to choose the eleventh service control strategy can be determined according to the playback record.

According to the storage record, the capacity of the TV program recorded by the user can be determined, and then the space threshold in the first service control strategy can be set. For example, if the capacity of the TV program recorded by the user is 8M, the space threshold can be set to 10M; if the capacity of the TV program recorded by the user is 2M, the space threshold can be set to 3M.

In practical applications, the feedback information may be obtained by receiving the feedback information sent by the hybrid set-top box, or by reading the stored feedback information previously sent by the hybrid set-top box. Specifically, the information sent by the hybrid set-top box may be sent according to a request sent by the service management device, may also be sent according to an instruction input by a user, or may be sent automatically by the hybrid set-top box. More specifically, the request sent by the service management device may include the aforementioned at least two service control strategies for the user to select, and may also include a storage record acquisition request and the like.

Further, the feedback information may also include total storage space, occupied storage space, recording tasks, recorded TV program information, recording status, etc., which is not limited in the present invention.

Correspondingly, the service control instruction may include one or more of the following instructions:

The user is prompted;

The recording of television programs is prohibited;

Overwrite the recorded TV program with the TV program with the earliest recording time;

Create recording tasks in units of TV programs;

Create recording tasks based on a collection of multiple TV programs;

Send a recording task creation request to the video management platform. The video management platform creates a recording task according to the recording task creation request. The video management platform is used to provide TV programs to the hybrid set-top box through the IP network;

Select a TV program from multiple TV programs with the same content to create a recording task;

Create recording tasks for multiple TV programs with the same content;

Create recording tasks for TV shows;

It is prohibited to create recording tasks for TV shows;

Delete TV shows.

Specifically, when the service management information includes a service control instruction, this step 302 may include;

The hybrid set-top box sends status information to the service management device, and the status information includes one or more of user identification, storable space, capacity of TV programs, storage records, and play records;

The service management device generates a service control instruction in combination with the status information and the service control policy.

Understandably, sending the service control instruction to the hybrid set-top box can prevent the hybrid set-top box from judging the service control policy and status information, and speed up the processing speed of the hybrid set-top box.

Specifically, when the user adopts the first type of service control strategy, if the available storage space is less than or equal to the space threshold, a service control instruction including prompting the user is sent.

When the user adopts the second service control strategy, if the storage space is less than the capacity of the TV program, then send a service control instruction including prohibiting recording of the TV program.

When the user adopts the third kind of service control strategy, if the storage space is smaller than the capacity of the TV program, then send the service control command including overwriting the recorded TV program with the TV program with the earliest storage time.

When the user adopts the fourth service control strategy, send a service control instruction to create a recording task in units of TV programs.

When the user adopts the fifth service control strategy, send a service control instruction to create recording tasks in units of collections.

When the user adopts the sixth service control strategy, send a service control instruction to send a recording task creation request to the video management platform.

When the user adopts the seventh service control strategy, if there are multiple TV programs with the same content, send a service control command to select a TV program from the multiple TV programs with the same content to create a recording task.

When the user adopts the eighth service control strategy, if there are multiple TV programs with the same content, send a service control command to create recording tasks for the multiple TV programs with the same content.

When the user adopts the ninth service control strategy and sends a service control command to create a recording task for a TV program, the TV program with the same content as the TV program has been deleted.

When the user adopts the tenth service control strategy, it sends a service control instruction prohibiting creating a recording task for a TV program, and the TV program with the same content as the TV program has been deleted.

When the user adopts the eleventh service control strategy, if there is a TV program that has been played, a service control instruction to delete the TV program is sent.

Correspondingly, the hybrid set-top box can directly execute the service control instruction after receiving it.

Step S203: the service management device sends the service management information corresponding to the user identifier to the hybrid set-top box through the IP network.

Step S204: The hybrid set-top box records TV programs according to the service management information.

In a specific implementation, when the service management information includes a service control policy, this step 304 may include:

The hybrid set-top box obtains status information, which includes one or more of storage space, capacity of TV programs, storage records, and play records;

The hybrid STB matches the state information with various service control strategies corresponding to the user ID, and executes the matched service control strategy when the state information matches the service control strategy.

For example, if the service control information includes the above-mentioned first service control strategy and the space threshold is 2M, and the hybrid set-top box obtains a 1M storage space, then the hybrid set-top box determines that it meets the first service control strategy (the storage space is less than or equal to the space threshold) , so implement the first service control strategy (prompt the user).

It is understandable that when the service control policy is delivered to the hybrid set-top box, the hybrid set-top box usually saves the hybrid set-top box. If the hybrid set-top box is offline later, it can use the saved service control policy to guide the recording business, so as to ensure that the hybrid set-top box can also record the business when it is offline. Take control.
