In some embodiments of the present application, the server obtains the recommended volume value of the set top box by counting an average value of the volume values reported by the set top boxes of the related users or the strongly related users. In particular, it can be based on the formula
Calculating to obtain a recommended volume value of the set top box, wherein in a formula: n is the number of relevant or strongly relevant users found by the server, v i And reporting the volume value for the set top box of the ith relevant user or the strong relevant user.
In some embodiments of the application, the obtained recommended volume value may be used as a target volume value of the set-top box, and then when the server obtains the recommended volume value of the set-top box, the recommended volume value of the set-top box is returned to the set-top box, and the set-top box adjusts the volume value of the set-top box according to the received recommended volume value.
For example, in some embodiments of the present application, since the set-top box is installed for the first time or used for the first time after restoring the factory value, the set-top box is bound with the display device, and when receiving a film source playing instruction, in response to the film source playing instruction, the set-top box sends a volume request to the server, where the volume request includes set-top box information, a film source path, display device information, and a current volume value of the display device, and in the volume request, no set-top box reports the volume value; the server acquires the first use of the set top box after the set top box is installed for the first time or the factory value is restored through the volume value reported by the inorganic set top box in the volume request, and then the recommended volume value obtained by the method can be used as the set top box target volume value to be returned to the set top box; and the set top box adjusts the volume value of the set top box according to the received recommended volume.
In some embodiments of the present application, the server may further determine a target volume value of the set-top box by combining the obtained recommended volume value, the reported volume value of the set-top box, and the current volume value of the set-top box. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: respectively calculating a first difference value delta V between the recommended volume value of the set top box and the current volume value of the set top box 1 And a second difference between the reported volume value of the set top box and the current volume value of the set top boxValue Δ V 2 (ii) a If the first difference value is Δ V 1 Is greater than or equal to a first volume threshold V 1 Or a second difference value DeltaV 2 Is greater than or equal to a second volume threshold V 2 Then, the target volume value of the set-top box can be determined according to the obtained recommended volume value and the reported volume value of the set-top box.

But when the first difference value deltaV 1 Is less than a first volume threshold V 1 And the second difference value DeltaV 2 Is less than a second volume threshold V 2 In the process, the current volume value of the set-top box is not required to be adjusted, the server does not perform the calculation to determine the target volume value of the set-top box, and the server returns the target volume value of the set-top box or a field for preventing the set-top box from adjusting the volume value.
In the embodiment of the application, when the set top box plays a film source, the set top box needs to report the volume value of the set top box playing the film source to the server, and the volume value is used for providing a sample for playing the film source, so that the server updates the set top box reported volume value stored in the server; such as periodically reporting the volume value of the set-top box during the playing of the film source. In some embodiments of the present application, the volume value of the set top box may be reported when the film source is played to the first threshold time, so that the server updates the volume value reported by the set top box stored in the server; and the server receives the volume value of the set top box when the film source is played to the first threshold time, and updates the set top box reported volume value stored in the server according to the volume value.
In some embodiments of the present application, if the set-top box receives the volume adjustment instruction during the playing process of the film source, the set-top box reports the volume value of the set-top box after waiting for the second threshold time for the film source to be played, so that the server updates the set-top box reported volume value stored in the server, which is used to ensure that the volume value of the set-top box in the sample provided by the set-top box is closer to the volume value specifically used by the user.
In the embodiment of the application, when the set top box reports the volume value, the set top box stores the reported volume value, and updates the set top box reported volume value stored in the set top box according to the reported volume value, so that the set top box reported volume value stored in the set top box is the latest reported volume value. When the set top box is used for the first time after being installed for the first time or the factory value is restored, the set top box reports the sound volume value to the server in the sound volume request sent by the set top box, and then the server recognizes the first use of the set top box after being installed for the first time or the factory value is restored by recognizing the sound volume value reported by the set top box in the sound volume request.
In some embodiments of the present application, in order to meet the requirements of a user, when the volume value of the set top box is adjusted, the volume value of the display device needs to be adjusted, and therefore in the embodiments of the present application, the server further determines a target volume value of the display device according to the set top box information, the film source path, the current volume value of the set top box, the display device information, and the current volume value of the display device, and then sends the determined target volume value of the display device to the set top box and the display device through the set top box, so that the display device automatically adjusts the volume value according to the received target volume value of the display device. Therefore, when the film source is played through the set-top box, the display device can send the current volume value of the display device to the set-top box, and the set-top box receives the current volume value of the display device.

Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the film source played by the display device is not a set-top box on-demand resource, and therefore when the film source is directly played through the display device, the display device sends a display device volume request to the server in response to a play instruction of the film source, where the display device volume request includes display device information, a film source path, a display device reported volume value, and a display device current volume value. The server receives the volume request of the display equipment, determines a target volume value of the display equipment according to the information of the display equipment, the film source path, the current volume value of the display equipment and the reported volume value of the display equipment, and sends the determined target volume value of the display equipment to the display equipment. And the display equipment receives the target volume value of the display equipment returned by the server, and adjusts the volume value of the display equipment according to the received target volume value of the display equipment.
