Fig. 2A is a flow chart of an information sharing method according to an exemplary embodiment. This embodiment takes the application of the information sharing method in the above-mentioned information sharing system as an example for illustration. The information sharing method may include the following step:

Step 201: During the video communication process between the first terminal and the second terminal through the smart set-top box, when the smart set-top box receives an information sharing request sent by the first terminal or a third-party device, obtain the waiting information from the third-party device shared target information.

Wherein, the third-party device is a device locally connected to the smart set-top box through a network connection, and the first terminal is a terminal locally connected to the smart set-top box through HDMI.

It is worth noting that since the connection between the third-party device and the smart set-top box is through a wired or wireless network connection, the use of HDMI between the third-party device and the smart set-top box is avoided, thereby ensuring that devices without HDMI interfaces can also Connecting with the intelligent set-top box increases the applicability of the intelligent set-top box. In addition, since the smart set-top box is connected to the third-party device through a wireless network connection, the distance limitation caused by too short wired cables is avoided, thereby increasing the convenience of using the smart set-top box.

In addition, because the smart set-top box can receive the information sharing request sent by the first terminal, and can also receive the information sharing request sent by the third-party device, therefore, when the smart set-top box receives the information sharing request sent by the first terminal or the third-party device , the manner of acquiring the target information to be shared from the third-party device may include the following two manners.

In the first way, when the intelligent set-top box receives the information sharing request sent by the first terminal, it detects whether to establish a network connection with the third-party device; The device sends an information sharing notification. When the third-party device receives the information sharing notification, it can send the currently displayed information as the target information to the smart set-top box; the smart set-top box can receive the target information sent by the third-party device.

Wherein, the operation of the smart set-top box detecting whether to establish a network connection with a third-party device may be: detecting whether the third-party device has been connected to the local area network currently connected to the smart set-top box, and when it is detected that the third-party device has connected to the smart When the set-top box is currently connected to the local area network, it can be determined to establish a network connection with the third-party device; Internet connection.

It should be noted that the smart set-top box can detect whether the third-party device has connected to the local area network currently connected to the smart set-top through a gateway device or a router, or through other methods. For example, the third-party device sends a broadcast frame, and the smart set-top When the set-top box scans the broadcast frame sent by the third-party device through scanning, it determines that the third-party device has connected to the local area network currently connected to the smart set-top box.

Wherein, the operation of the smart set-top box detecting whether the third-party device has connected to the local area network currently connected to the smart set-top box through a gateway device or a router can refer to related technologies, which will not be repeated in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In addition, after the third playback device acquires the target information, it may send the target information to the smart set-top box in the form of a video stream. Wherein, the format of the target information may be Real-time Transport Protocol (Real-time Transport Protocol, RTP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol, SRTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (Real-time Transport Control Protocol, RTCP) and other formats.

Further, in order to ensure the security of information sharing, before the smart set-top box sends the information sharing notification to the third-party device, it can also perform authentication on the third-party device; when the authentication of the third-party device passes, execute The action of sending information sharing notifications to third-party devices.

Wherein, the operation for the smart set-top box to authenticate the third-party device may include the following three methods.

(1), the smart set-top box sends an authentication notification in a preset encoding format to the third device; when the third-party device receives the authentication notification, it can decode the authentication notification based on the preset decoding format, and based on the decoded The authentication notification sends authentication feedback information to the smart set-top box; when the smart set-top box receives the authentication feedback information sent by the third-party device and the received authentication feedback information is the same as the feedback information corresponding to the authentication notification, it determines that the authentication of the third-party device Authorization passed.

It should be noted that the preset encoding format can be set in advance, for example, the preset encoding format can be H.261, H.263, H.264 and so on. In addition, the preset decoding format corresponds to the preset encoding format, and the preset decoding format can also be set in advance, for example, the preset decoding format can be H.261, H.263, H.264 and so on. In addition, the authentication feedback information may include numbers, account numbers and the like.

For example, when the authentication feedback information sent by the third-party device is the number 7, and the feedback information corresponding to the authentication notification is the number 7, since the authentication feedback information sent by the third-party device is the same as the feedback information corresponding to the authentication notification, therefore , the smart set-top box may determine that the authentication of the third-party device passes.

For the operation of the third-party device decoding the authentication notification in a preset decoding manner, reference may be made to related technologies, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, when the smart set-top box receives the authentication feedback information sent by the third-party device and the received authentication feedback information is different from the feedback information corresponding to the authentication notification, it determines that the authentication of the third-party device fails.

It should be noted that when the authentication of the third-party device fails, the smart set-top box may also send first prompt information to the third-party device, and the first prompt information is used to prompt the third-party device that the authentication fails . Wherein, the first prompt information may be in the form of ringing, vibration, voice or text.

(2), the smart set-top box can detect whether the third-party device can log in to the user account currently logged in by the smart set-top box, and when it is detected that the third-party device can log in to the user account, it is determined that the authentication of the third-party device is passed ; When it is detected that the third-party device cannot log in to the user account, it is determined that the authentication of the third-party device has not passed.

Specifically, the smart set-top box can send a device authentication request to the server of the user account, and the device authentication request carries the device identifier of the third-party device and the user account, and when the server of the user account receives the device authentication request, it can obtain The device IDs of other devices that are currently logged into the user account, and determine whether there is a device ID of the third-party device in the obtained device ID. For the second prompt information of the user account, when the device identification of the third-party device does not exist, the third prompt information that the third-party device cannot log into the user account is sent to the smart set-top box. When the smart set-top box receives the second prompt information, it determines that the authentication of the third-party device passes; when the smart set-top box receives the third prompt information, it determines that the authentication of the third-party device fails.

It should be noted that the device identifier is used to uniquely identify the device, and the device identifier can be set in advance, for example, the device identifier can be the MAC (Media Access Control, Media Access Control) address, factory serial number, etc. of the device.

In addition, the server can not only obtain the device identifier currently logged into the user account, but also obtain the device identifier logged into the user account from historical records.

(3), the smart set-top box can receive the first authentication information sent by the first terminal, and receive the second authentication information sent by the third-party device, and when the first authentication information is the same as the second authentication information, determine the third-party device The authentication of the third-party device passes; when the first authentication information is different from the second authentication information, it is determined that the authentication of the third-party device fails.

It should be noted that, the first authentication information is input to the first terminal by the user through a specified operation, and the second authentication information is also input to the third-party device by the user through a specified operation, and the specified operation can be a click operation, a slide operation, etc. operations, voice operations, and more.

In the second way, when the smart set-top box receives an information sharing request sent by a third-party device, it authenticates the third-party device; when the authentication of the third-party device passes, it sends an information sharing request to the third-party device. notification, so that the third-party device sends the currently displayed information as the target information to the smart set-top box; and receives the target information sent by the third-party device.

It is worth noting that when the smart set-top box obtains the target information to be shared from the third-party device through the above two methods, the smart set-top box can send the information to the third-party device based on the hypertext transfer protocol (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, HTTP) Information Sharing Requests. That is, the format of the information sharing request can be an HTTP request format. For example, referring to FIG. ) and subject.

Step 202: the smart STB sends the target information to the first terminal and the server.

Wherein, since the first terminal can be a TV with functions of collecting video data and audio data, and the smart set-top box can be connected to the first terminal through HDMI. Therefore, the smart set-top box can directly send the target information to the first terminal.

In addition, since the first terminal can also be collectively referred to as a camera, a microphone, and a television, the smart set-top box sends the target information to the first terminal, that is, the smart set-top box sends the target information to the TV.

Furthermore, since the first terminal can perform video communication with the second terminal through the smart set-top box, generally, a video communication application is installed in the smart set-top box, and the first terminal can communicate with the second terminal through the video communication application installed in the smart set-top box. The terminal performs video communication. Therefore, when the smart set-top box receives the target information, it can send the target information to the server corresponding to the video communication application.

It should be noted that, after the smart set-top box sends the target information to the first terminal, the first terminal may perform the following step 203, after the smart set-top box sends the target information to the server. The server may perform the operation of step 204 described below.

Step 203: When the first terminal receives the target information sent by the smart set-top box, display the target information.

It should be noted that since the first terminal receives the target information during video communication, the screen of the first terminal can not only display the target information, but also display the information between the first terminal and the target. The video communication interface for video communication between the second terminals, and the video communication interface and the interface displaying target information can be displayed on the screen according to the modes of large and small windows, up and down split screens, and the like.

For example, referring to FIG. 2C , on the screen of the first terminal, two interfaces A and B may be displayed, wherein interface A is an interface for displaying target information, and interface B is an interface for displaying a video communication interface.

It should be noted that since the third-party device sends the target information to the smart set-top box in the form of a video stream, and the smart set-top box does not perform other processing on the target information, but only forwards the target information, therefore, The target information received by the first terminal is also in the form of a video stream. That is, two video streams can be displayed on the first terminal, the first is a video stream in which the first terminal performs video communication with the second terminal, and the other is a video stream formed by the target information.

Step 204: When the server receives the target information sent by the smart set-top box, it sends the target information to the second terminal, and the second terminal displays the target information.

Wherein, since the first terminal usually performs video communication with the second terminal through the video communication application installed in the smart set-top box, the server can obtain the user account of the second terminal currently performing video communication with the first terminal, based on the The user account of the second terminal sends the target information to the second terminal, so that the second terminal displays the target information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the smart set-top box can be connected to a third-party device through a wired or wireless network connection, and when the first terminal performs video communication with the second terminal through the smart set-top box, when the information sharing request is received , the smart set-top box can authenticate the third-party device, and when the authentication of the third-party device passes, the smart set-top box can obtain the target information from the third-party device, thus ensuring the sharing of target information and related information device security. After the smart device obtains the target information from the third-party device, it can send the target information to the first terminal and the server, and the server can send the target information to the second terminal, and the first terminal and the second terminal The target information can be displayed, thereby realizing information sharing. Since the target information is transmitted in the form of video streams when sharing information through the above method, the smart set-top box plays the role of transferring the target information without decoding the target information, avoiding the problem of target information caused by decoding errors. Damaged or missing information ensures the integrity of the information, thereby improving the efficiency of information sharing.

The information sharing method provided by the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to various application scenarios, and the systems to which the information sharing method is applied are also different according to different application scenarios. For example, FIG. 2D is a schematic structural diagram of a video conference system according to an exemplary embodiment. The video conference system includes: a first terminal 1 , a second terminal 2 , a smart set-top box 3 , a third-party device 4 and a server 5 .

The third-party device 4 and the smart set-top box 3 are locally connected through a wired or wireless network connection, the smart set-top box 3 is connected to the first terminal 1 through HDMI, and the smart set-top box 3 and the second terminal 2 are connected to each other respectively. Server connection, wherein, the second terminal 2 can be a terminal such as a smart TV, a computer, a tablet computer, a mobile terminal, etc., and the third-party device 4 can be a device such as a computer, a tablet computer, a mobile terminal, etc. .

The third-party device 4 takes the information displayed on the current screen as the target information, and sends the target information to the smart set-top box 3 in the form of video stream. After receiving the target information, the smart set-top box 3 forwards the target information to the first terminal 1 and the server 5, the first terminal 1 receives and displays the target information, and the server 5 receives the target information and sends the target information The target information sent by the server 5 is sent to the second terminal 2. Correspondingly, the second terminal receives and displays the target information sent by the server 5.

Wherein, for the specific implementation process involved here, reference may be made to the corresponding implementation process in the embodiment of FIG. 2A above, and details will not be repeated here.

In addition, similar to the system provided in FIG. 2D, in another possible implementation, the information sharing method can also be applied to a distance education system.
