Description

 Title: Invention Name: Data Loading Method and System for Set Top Box Technical Field

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

 Background technique

 [0002] Set-top boxes are commonly used devices in the home. The existing set-top boxes have smart set-top boxes and non-smart set-top boxes. The existing set-top boxes are usually loaded by pre-downloading after playing, that is, after playing video, except that the download is being In addition to the played video file, the unplayed file is also preloaded. Although this method can make the playback very smooth, it has higher requirements on the network speed and wastes bandwidth.

 technical problem

 An object of the present invention is to provide a data loading method for a set top box, which aims to solve the problem of high network speed requirement and waste of bandwidth in the prior art solution.

 Problem solution

 Technical solution

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

[0005] 101. Determine a name of the video information that the user clicks;

 [0006] 102, comparing the name of the video information with the name of the history to determine whether there is a correlation; [0007] 103, if there is relevance, start preloading the video information being played, if there is no association, Only the video information within the set threshold period is loaded.

[0008] Optionally, the method further includes:

 [0009] If there is no correlation, detecting the playing time of the current video, for example, if the playing time exceeds the playing threshold, then the video information being played is preloaded. This setting is for pre-loading when the user sees a new program for a certain period of time.

 [0010] Optionally, comparing the name of the video information with the name of the history record to determine whether the association is related specifically includes:

[0011] extracting the subject name of the video information and the subject name of the history record, if the subject name is consistent, determining the relevance, and determining that there is no association if the subject name is inconsistent. [0012] In another aspect, a set top box is provided, and the set top box includes:

[0013] a name unit, configured to determine a name of the video information that the user clicks;

 [0014] comparing the name of the video information with the name of the history to determine whether there is relevance

[0015] The loading unit, if there is an association, starts to preload the video information being played, and if there is no association, only the video information in the set threshold period is loaded.

[0016] Optionally, the set top box further includes:

 [0017] The inter-turn unit is configured to detect, if there is no correlation, detecting the playing time of the current video, such as pre-loading the video information being played, if the playing time exceeds the playing threshold.

[0018] Optionally, the comparing unit is specifically configured to extract the subject name of the video information and the subject name of the history record, and if the subject name is consistent, determine the relevance, and if the subject name is inconsistent, determine that there is no association. .

 Advantageous effects of the invention

 Beneficial effect

 In the embodiment of the present invention, the technical solution provided by the present invention provides a data loading method of a set top box, which determines whether to start loading by pre-determining whether it is a normal viewing video, so it has the advantage of not wasting bandwidth.

 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0022] 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.

[0023] A specific embodiment of the present invention provides a data loading method of a set top box, which is shown in FIG. Including the following steps:

 [0024] 101. Determine a name of the video information that the user clicks;

 [0025] 102. Compare the name of the video information with the name of the history record to determine whether there is an association; [0026] 103. If there is an association, start to preload the video information being played, if there is no association, Only the video information within the set threshold period is loaded.

[0027] The method provided by the present invention determines whether pre-loading is performed by the association between the name and the historical information, so that the effect is that when the user selects the video program, the bandwidth can be wasted excessively, thereby achieving bandwidth saving. purpose.

[0028] Optionally, the foregoing method may further include:

 [0029] If there is no correlation, detecting the playing time of the current video, for example, if the playing time exceeds the playing threshold, the video information being played is preloaded. This setting is for pre-loading when the user sees a new program for a certain period of time.

 [0030] Optionally, comparing the name of the video information with the name of the history to determine whether the association is related may include:

 [0031] extracting the subject name of the video information and the subject name of the history record, if the subject name is consistent, determining the relevance, and determining that there is no association if the subject name is inconsistent.

[0032] For example, in the history record, "Transformers 2" is the main name of the "Transformers"

》 , If you are playing Transformers 4, judge the subject name "Transformers" to be consistent and pre-load.

 [0033] A specific embodiment of the present invention further provides a set top box, as shown in FIG. 2, the set top box includes:

[0034] a name unit 201, configured to determine a name of the video information that the user clicks;

 [0035] the matching unit 202 compares the name of the video information with the name of the history to determine whether the association is related;

 [0036] The loading unit 203, if there is association, starts to preload the video information being played, and if there is no association, only the video information in the set threshold period is loaded.

[0037] The system provided by the present invention determines whether pre-loading is performed by the association between the name and the historical information, so that the effect is that when the user selects the video program, the bandwidth can be wasted excessively, thereby achieving bandwidth saving. purpose. [0038] The inter-turn unit is configured to detect, if there is no correlation, detecting the playing time of the current video, for example, if the playing time exceeds the playing threshold, then starting to preload the video information being played. This setting is for pre-loading when the user sees a new program for a certain period of time.

Optionally, the comparing unit 202 is specifically configured to extract the subject name of the video information and the subject name of the history record, and if the subject name is consistent, determine the relevance, and if the subject name is inconsistent, determine that there is no association.

 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.
