The Design And Implementation Of Interactive Multimedia Service Management System For Intelligent Set-Top Boxes

The country-driven triple play is a unified information and communication network which composed by telecommunications networks,radio networks and computer communication networks and this three are permeable and compatible. At that condition, The set-top box has become a control terminal to online databases of movies, multimedia events and so on. The consumer can not dominate television program as their own preferences and the set-top box can not load any content or applications. The smart set-top box can browse web, playback video and movie, chat online, play games, watch movies and other entertainment activities on TV. It connects to the network via network cable or wireless and users can choose any television program according to their own preferences and also install the application. On the basis of their own telecommunications network, the Telecommunications operators integrate a variety of resources and inherit and develop the original system for interactive multimedia services to build a new interactive multimedia services management system. This new system give more emphasis on the integration of services and strengthen and improve the management of content and applications. It serve the majority of users with a wealth of business, secure payment methods through its entire.life cycle which from access, audit, released to withdraw.The multimedia service management system is a engine and relying for all kinds of service and a supporter for the interactive multimedia services. It implements the access to content and applications and the management of accessed content and applications and then publishes them to users. Content providers and application developers can carry out various types of multimedia services which based on triple play and manage all aspects of the entire business value chain by deploying a complete professional interactive multimedia services management platform. On this basis, the new system can finally evolve a interactive multimedia service system by broadcasting the obtained result to other extending area. At the same time, voice, pictures, video can be sent as a carrier through the interactive multimedia platform and the platform can bring traditional business innovation space for telecommunications operators, provide entertainment activities and other value-added services for users and promote the improvement of communication information services.Firstly, this paper introduces the background and the development status of multimedia services as well as tremendous changes brought about by triple play. Secondly, it introduces the concepts and features of smart set-top boxes as well as key technologies involved in the system’s realization, including Struts, Spring and Hibernate framework and role-based access control conceptual model and the relevant technology of Oracle database. Analyze the business requirements of the system and provide an outline design and detailed design according to the system’s specific functions and finally realize it. Finally, design test cases and verify system relevant functions by carrying out unit testing and integration testing.
