Embodiment

In order to make the object of the invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer,, the present invention is further elaborated below in conjunction with for example.Should be appreciated that described hereinly, and be not used in qualification the present invention for example only in order to explaining the present invention.

The present invention realizes the technological invention of smart mobile phone with software mode realization remote control IPTV STB under integration of three networks background.

The mobile phone terminal, STB of in Fig. 1, having described different home are connected with central server through the internet, acquisition domestic consumer's information (such as the IP address, port information port etc.), interconnected between realization mobile phone terminal and family's STB.

Interconnected used plug-in unit between intelligent mobile phone terminal and the STB has been described in Fig. 2; Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) is mounted in the plug-in unit in the STB, and RemoteControlServer module and RemoteControl (GUI) module is mounted in the plug-in unit in the smart mobile phone.

Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module): be responsible for being connected to central server; Obtain smart mobile phone user's internet-ip address and port information (port information); Be connected with smart mobile phone with interface message according to the IP address then, and the message and the response message of response smart mobile phone.

Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module): be responsible for smart mobile phone user's internet-ip address and port information (port information) are registered to central server; Wait for the Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) of STB, the connection of RemoteControl (GUI) module then, and transmit two informations between the module.

RemoteControl (GUI) module: be responsible for being connected to Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module); And accept user's operation; Convert instruction to and send to Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module), after the message that receives the STB response, show different interfaces according to different state; Such as current be movie; Mobile phone interface is exactly that the interface of a film remote control comprises broadcast, time-out, F.F., rewind down etc., if current be the news list page, mobile phone interface is upper and lower, left and right, ok, page up, one page etc. down.

The present invention is with android mobile phone remote android STB, and realization android mobile phone is controlled the application (EPG, valued added applications or the like) on the android STB.Hardware: any android mobile phone, any android STB; Software: android2.x system; Network: the android mobile phone is supported gprs or wifi, and the android STB is supported wired internet or wifi agreement: the http agreement; Application scenarios: be applicable to any android2.x mobile phone and android2.x STB (being not limited to TV), can remote control operate in any application on the android2.x STB.Remote control STB in cell phone intelligent terminal provides very friendly with interactive effect, and the user can utilize the own individual smart mobile phone of being familiar with to operate the TV STB.

The soft remote controller of smart mobile phone starts IP address, the port information (Port) of back to its soft remote control web service of central server registration; STB poll central server obtain behind the IP address, port (Port) information of the web service on the smart mobile phone with smart mobile phone on the web service set up that http is long to be connected; The user comes the web service on smart mobile phone to send operational order through the interface of the soft remote controller of operative intelligence mobile phone; STB was accepted and is handled the operational order that comes from smart mobile phone asynchronously, issues state synchronization message with the http mode and give the soft remote controller of smart mobile phone through long connection of http, and the state synchronization message that comes from STB, the straighforward operation interface of upgrading the user are accepted and handled to the soft remote controller of smart mobile phone asynchronously through long connection of http.Basic performing step is following:

(1) load Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) in the STB start-up course, Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) is to the corresponding Long-distance Control information on services of this user of central server poll;

(2) the soft remote control application module of user's operative intelligence handset starting; After Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module) in the said soft remote control application module is activated; To register this user's Long-distance Control information on services to central server, like IP address, port information;

(3) after STB Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) obtains this user's Long-distance Control information on services through poll; Set up long (comet http), the wait remote manipulation instruction of being connected of http through Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module) on wireless route and the smart mobile phone; And Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) will stop the poll to central server, obtain the current application state and through the http request current application state synchronization message on the STB will be handed down to Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module) from current application;

(4) after Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module) listens to the application state synchronization message; Give Long-distance Control subscriber interface module (RemoteControl (GUI) module) with the current application state transfer on the STB, Long-distance Control subscriber interface module (RemoteControl (GUI) module) is showed different straighforward operation interfaces according to the different conditions of application responds; The variation of remote control interface; Such as current be movie; Mobile phone interface is exactly that the interface of a film remote control comprises broadcast, time-out, F.F., rewind down etc., if current be the news list page, mobile phone interface is upper and lower, left and right, ok, page up, one page etc. down.

(5) user's operative intelligence mobile phone remote control subscriber interface module (RemoteControl (GUI) module), Long-distance Control subscriber interface module (RemoteControl (GUI) module) is uploaded to Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module) with remote manipulation instruction;

(6) after Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module) listens to remote manipulation instruction; Through Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) and long connection of the http between the Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module) remote manipulation instruction being passed to Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module); Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) is mutual with current application, and current application responds remote manipulation instruction, also through Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) the more recent application state synchronization message is handed down to Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module);

(7) after Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module) listens to the application state synchronization message; Give Long-distance Control subscriber interface module (RemoteControl (GUI) module) with the current application state transfer on the STB, Long-distance Control subscriber interface module (RemoteControl (GUI) module) upgrades the straighforward operation interface according to the application state synchronization message;

(8) after the user operates its smart mobile phone and withdraws from soft remote control application program; Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module) is stopped; Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) on the STB can't issue the application state synchronization message to Long-distance Control service module (RemoteControlServer module), and Long-distance Control service end interface module (RemoteControlService module) will be initiated poll again to central server.
