In an embodiment of the present invention, the BBS300 may be specifically implemented as an SPS (Service Process System) of an IT System, and is configured to distribute Service provisioning parameters of the work order Service to the ITMS platform 400, the ITV platform 800, and the RADIUS platform 700.

In one embodiment of the invention, RADIUS platform 700 may be implemented as 163 backend.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an interactive television service provisioning method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Preferably, this embodiment can be executed by the interactive television service provisioning system of the present invention. The functions of each component device included in the interactive television service provisioning system in the embodiment of fig. 3 are further described below with reference to the embodiment of fig. 4.

The method for opening the interactive television service in the embodiment of fig. 4 may include the following steps:

step 401, after CRM (Customer Relationship Management platform) accepts the successful request of the user to open the ITV service, BBS300 sends the service opening parameter to ITMS platform 400, ITV platform 800, and RADIUS platform 700.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, step 401 may specifically include:

step 4011, the ITMS platform 400 receives a first service provisioning parameter sent by the BBS300, where the first service provisioning parameter includes a user line logic identifier (logic ID), a broadband account, and an interactive television access account.

Step 4012, the RADIUS platform 700 receives a second service provisioning parameter sent by the BBS300, where the second service provisioning parameter includes a user line logic identifier, an interactive television access account, and an interactive television service account.

Step 4013, the ITV platform 800 receives a third service provisioning parameter sent by the BBS300, where the third service provisioning parameter includes a user line logic identifier, a broadband account, an interactive television access account, and an interactive television service account.

Step 402, the ITV platform 800 actively pushes the third service provisioning parameter sent by the BBS300 to the set-top box network management platform 200.

Step 403, the STB network management platform 200 returns the successful receiving information to the ITV platform 800; and forming a user opening information table, and merging the user opening information table into a library for storage, wherein the user opening information table comprises logic ID, ITV service account number and ITV access account number.

In step 404, the home gateway 500 must first complete the connection with the ITMS platform 400, activate the ITMS service, and bind the user logical ID successfully, and only the home gateway 500 that successfully activates the ITMS service can report an activation event to wait for the set-top box to access the ITV dedicated port (e.g., LAN 2).

In step 405, when the powered-on set-top box successfully accesses the home gateway 500 that provides the ITMS service (for example, the set-top box accesses an ITV service dedicated interface, such as a LAN2 port), the set-top box 100 will trigger the following actions, for example:

step 4051, the home gateway 500 is triggered to report the "X _ CT-COM STBMAC" event to the ITMS platform 400 (i.e., step 406).

In step 4052, the set-top box 100 applies for obtaining the temporary management IP address of the STB network management platform from a BRAS/DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server using the default unified preconfigured account/password.

Step 4053, the set-top box 100 initiates an MAC address learning mechanism to obtain MAC address information of the physical port of the interactive home gateway.

Step 4054, the set-top box 100 initiates registration to the STB network manager to request to issue service provisioning configuration through the temporary IP address, which carries the learned home gateway MAC address and the set-top box MAC address.

Step 406, when the home gateway 500 detects that the ITV dedicated interface has access to the set-top box 100, the home gateway 500 is triggered to report the "home gateway MAC address + logical ID" (i.e., "X _ CT-COM STBMAC" reporting event) to the ITMS platform 400 through the TR069 channel.

Step 407, when receiving the report event of "X _ CT-COM STBMAC", the ITMS platform 400 extracts the content reported by the home gateway 500 and the IT system user information (first service activation parameter), to form a user information correspondence table including "home gateway MAC address + logical ID + broadband account + ITV access account"; and the user information corresponding table is actively pushed to the STB network management platform 200.

Step 408, the STB network management platform 200 returns the successful receiving information to the ITMS platform 400, and stores a user information corresponding table of "home gateway MAC address + logical ID + broadband account + ITV access account".

In step 409, the STB network management platform 200 queries, according to the home gateway MAC address reported by the set-top box 100, the user information table "home gateway MAC address + logical ID + broadband account + ITV access account" pushed by the ITMS platform 400 and the user provisioning information table "logical ID + ITV service account + ITV access account" pushed by the ITV platform 800, and with the home gateway MAC address as an index, successfully associates which home gateway 500 the set-top box 100 requesting provisioning of the service is hung down under, and the user line logical ID, ITV service account, and ITV access account to which the set-top box belongs. Therefore, the number of passwords corresponding to the logical ID, the ITV service account and the ITV access account can be inquired to 163 background (RADIUS platform 700).

In step 410, the RADIUS platform 700 returns the password (i.e., the interactive tv access password and the interactive tv service password) corresponding to the queried ITV account to the STB network management platform 200.

In step 411, after acquiring the service provisioning account information of the subscriber line, the STB network management platform 200 writes back the default ITV access account/password of the set-top box, and issues the ITV service account/password, completes the binding relationship between the MAC address of the set-top box and the ITV service account, notifies the set-top box 100 to restart, and verifies the ITV service after the restart is successful.

In step 412, the STB network management platform 200 returns the line to which the user corresponding to the user information table "home gateway MAC address + logic ID + broadband account + ITV access account" belongs, and the set-top box service issues a successfully configured status value to the ITMS platform 400.

The embodiment of the invention solves the problem that the association relation of the user line where the set top box is positioned can not be identified when the set top box opens the ITV service in the passive optical network.

The embodiment of the invention utilizes the set top box to reversely learn the MAC address accessed to the home gateway, thereby effectively avoiding and filtering the following problems: in the prior art, because a home gateway actively learns the method of accessing the device, the possibility of frequent reporting and false reporting of the service opening event message caused by learning the MAC address of the device except the set top box, such as a PC, a router and the like, may exist, and the processing burden of an upper-layer IT service system is caused.

The embodiment of the invention is based on that the set top box learns the MAC address of the home gateway, and the MAC address is used as a system for connecting two sets of service opening systems in series, thereby providing a unique basis, being capable of searching out the user line to which the opened set top box belongs and the service account and the password which need to be issued, and further realizing the whole IT process and the construction automation. The embodiment of the invention has the advantages of plug and play and no need of manual intervention.
