Meanwhile, it should be understood that the sizes of the respective portions shown in the drawings are not drawn in an actual proportional relationship for the convenience of description.

Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail but are intended to be part of the specification where appropriate.

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any particular value should be construed as merely illustrative, and not limiting. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, further discussion thereof is not required in subsequent figures.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart diagram of an automatic configuration method of an IPTV terminal according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, after the IPTV terminal is powered on for the first time, the IPTV terminal may automatically perform the following steps 102 to 106, thereby automatically completing the initial configuration. In addition, it should be understood that the IPTV terminal is powered on for the first time, which may also be a formatted IPTV terminal that is powered on again.

In step 102, the IPTV terminal acquires a broadband identity (LOID) from the home gateway. Here, the IPTV terminal may be a STB (Set Top Box), a smart tv, a projector, a computer, and the like, and the home gateway may be an optical modem.

In step 104, the IPTV terminal sends a request message to the IPTV network management platform to obtain configuration information associated with the wideband identification code, where the request message includes the wideband identification code.

In some embodiments, the configuration information associated with the wideband identity may be obtained by the IPTV network management platform from a BSS (Business Support System) via the IPTV platform. When a user opens an account in the BSS system, the broadband identification code and the configuration information are correspondingly associated, then the BSS system sends the broadband identification code and the configuration information to the IPTV platform, and then the IPTV platform sends the broadband identification code and the configuration information to the IPTV network management platform. The subsequent IPTV network management platform can inquire the configuration information associated with the broadband identification code according to the broadband identification code sent by the IPTV terminal and send the configuration information to the IPTV terminal.

In some embodiments, the request message further includes a physical Address of the IPTV terminal, for example, a Media Access Control Address (MAC Address). The IPTV network management platform can send the configuration information to the IPTV terminal according to the physical address.

In some embodiments, before the IPTV terminal sends the request message, that is, before step 104, the first network connection may be established with the network side through the default network account.

In step 106, the IPTV terminal performs initial configuration according to the configuration information.

Here, the initial configuration may also be referred to as a zero configuration. According to the content included in the configuration information, the IPTV terminal may perform corresponding initial configuration. For example, where the configuration information includes network account information and a network account password, the initial configuration may include a network connection. For another example, in the case that the configuration information further includes a service account number and a service account number password, the initial configuration may further include service authentication.

In some embodiments, the IPTV terminal may perform network connection according to the configuration information by: the IPTV terminal disconnects the previously established first network connection; after the first network connection is disconnected, the IPTV terminal establishes a second network connection with the network side through the network account and the network account password in the configuration information.

In some embodiments, the IPTV terminal may perform service authentication according to the configuration information by: and after the second network connection is established, the ITPV terminal sends the service account and the service account password to the IPTV platform for service authentication. After the service authentication is passed, the IPTV terminal may send a service request to the IPTV platform, and obtain a corresponding service from the IPTV platform, for example: the IPTV terminal acquires audio, video and other network services from the IPTV platform.

By adopting the automatic configuration method of the IPTV terminal of the embodiment, the IPTV terminal acquires the broadband identification code from the home gateway, directly acquires the configuration information from the IPTV network management platform according to the broadband identification code, and further realizes the initial configuration according to the configuration information. The method not only reduces the capability requirement on the home gateway, but also simplifies the process of acquiring the configuration information, reduces the data interaction among multiple platforms and improves the success rate of automatic configuration of the IPTV terminal.

In some embodiments, the IPTV terminal may obtain the broadband identity from the home gateway as follows. First, the IPTV terminal transmits a first broadcast message requesting a broadband identification code. The home gateway sends a second broadcast message carrying the wideband identification code in response to monitoring the first broadcast message. Then, the IPTV terminal monitors a second broadcast message carrying the broadband identification code. And finally, the IPTV terminal extracts the broadband identification code from the second broadcast message. Here, the connection mode between the IPTV terminal and the home gateway may be a wired connection or a wireless connection.

In some implementations, the first broadcast message and the second broadcast message are UDP (User Datagram Protocol) broadcast messages. An exemplary format of the UDP broadcast message will be described later in connection with fig. 3. In other implementations, the first broadcast message and the second broadcast message may also be broadcast messages for other protocols.

In the above embodiment, by adding the broadcast interface between the home gateway and the IPTV, the IPTV terminal can obtain the broadband identification code from the home gateway only by supporting the sending of the broadcast message and the monitoring of the broadcast message by the home gateway and the IPTV terminal, thereby reducing the capability requirement on the home gateway.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an automatic configuration method of an IPTV terminal according to other embodiments of the present disclosure.

Before an IPTV terminal is turned on for the first time to implement an automatic configuration process, a user needs to open an account in a BSS system, and create a new wideband identification code and configuration information associated with the wideband identification code. For example, a new broadband identification code (e.g., 1234567890), a network account number (e.g., [email protected] iptv. gd) and a network account password (e.g., 888888), a business account number (e.g., 123) and a business account password (e.g., 777777). The BSS system synchronizes the information, such as the wideband identification code (e.g., 1234567890) and the configuration information associated with the wideband identification code (e.g., 1234567890), to the IPTV platform. The IPTV platform then synchronously sends the broadband identifier (e.g., 1234567890) and the configuration information associated with the broadband identifier (e.g., 1234567890) to the IPTV network management platform.

In step 202, the IPTV terminal establishes a first network connection with the network side through the default network account. For example, the STB establishes a first network connection with the network side by sending a default network account number (e.g., gdipv.gd) and a default network account password (password) to a BRAS (Broadband Remote Access Server).

In step 204, the IPTV terminal sends a first broadcast message requesting a broadband identification code to the home gateway. For example, the STB sends a first UDP broadcast message to the optical modem requesting a wideband identification code.

In some embodiments, step 204 and step 202 may be performed simultaneously.

In step 206, the home gateway transmits a second broadcast message to the IPTV terminal in response to the first broadcast message of the IPTV terminal. For example, the optical modem listens to a first UDP broadcast message sent by the STB requesting the wideband identification code, and sends the wideband identification code (e.g., 1234567890) to the IPTV terminal via a second UDP broadcast message.

In step 208, the home gateway sends a request message to the IPTV network management platform.

In some embodiments, the IPTV terminal sends a request for obtaining the configuration information to an IPTV network management platform. And after receiving the request, the IPTV network management platform sends a request response to the IPTV terminal. And after receiving the request response, the IPTV terminal sends parameter information to the IPTV network management platform, wherein the parameter information comprises a broadband identification code and an MAC address of the IPTV terminal.

For example, the STB sends a boot0 request to the IPTV network management platform via the TR069 protocol. The boot0 requests the network management platform of IPTV to obtain configuration information when the STB is started for the first time to perform initial configuration. In response to the boot0 Request, the IPTV network management platform sends a Get Parameter Value Request (Get Parameter Value Request) to the STB. In Response to the request for obtaining the Parameter Value, the STB sends a Response (Get Parameter Value Response) to the IPTV network management platform. Here, the parameter information carried in the response to obtain the parameter value may include, for example: hardware version (e.g., V1.0), software version (e.g., V2.0), IP address of STB (e.g., 10.22.19.23), MAC address of STB (e.g., 00-28-F8-3D-7A-AC), STB ID (e.g., 12300012300028F83D7AAC), broadband identification code (e.g., 1234567890), and URL (uniform resource locator) address (e.g., 127.0.0.1) used by a subsequent STB to establish a connection with the IPTV network management platform, etc. The URL address can also be understood as the IP address of the IPTV network management platform. In some implementations, the STB can subsequently establish a connection with the IPTV network management platform through the URL address. In other implementation manners, the IPTV network management platform determines whether the load of the server corresponding to the URL address is greater than a preset load; if yes, sending a new URL address to the STB, and subsequently establishing connection between the STB and the IPTV network management platform through the new URL address.

In step 210, the IPTV network management platform sends the configuration information associated with the wideband identification code to the IPTV terminal.

For example, the IPTV network management platform queries the configuration information associated with the broadband identifier (e.g., 1234567890) according to the broadband identifier (e.g., 1234567890), and then sends the information such as the network account number (e.g., [email protected] IPTV. gd), the network account password (e.g., 888888), the service account number (e.g., 123), and the service account password (e.g., 777777) to the STB according to the MAC address (e.g., 00-28-F8-3D-7A-AC) of the STB. The STB may store the configuration information in a configuration file.

In step 212, the IPTV terminal establishes a second network connection with the network side.

For example, after disconnecting the first network connection, the STB establishes a second network connection with the network side by sending a network account number (e.g. [email protected] iptv.gd) and a network account number password (e.g. 888888) to the BRAS.

In step 214, the IPTV terminal performs service authentication.

For example, after the STB reestablishes the second network connection with the network side, the STB sends the service account (123) and the service account password (777777) to the IPTV platform for service authentication.

By adopting the automatic configuration method of the IPTV terminal of the embodiment, the IPTV terminal acquires the broadband identification code from the home gateway, directly acquires the configuration information from the IPTV network management platform according to the broadband identification code, and further realizes the initial configuration according to the configuration information. The method not only reduces the capability requirement on the home gateway, but also simplifies the process of acquiring the configuration information, reduces the data interaction among multiple platforms and improves the success rate of automatic configuration of the IPTV terminal.
