The method further includes processing the service information from the server by the digital television reception terminal.
The method further includes exchanging data with the wireless terminal to perform once or several times data interactions through the wireless transceiving module by the digital television reception terminal.
The method further includes processing the received service request by the wireless terminal.
The method further includes feeding processing results back to the wireless terminal by the server after processing the service request.
The method further includes a step of: pushing service data to the digital television reception terminal by the server after the step of transmitting the service request received from the wireless transceiving module to the server by the wireless terminal.
The technical effect of the present invention is: the present invention provides a digital cable television system for data interaction via wireless terminal, the digital television reception terminal can exchange data with the wireless terminal to achieve data interaction by means of setting the wireless transceiving module to the digital television reception terminal, further enabling to achieve bidirectional access functionality between the server and the unidirectional digital television reception terminal, so that users can enjoy on-demand, time-shift, application downloads, online games and other services, and the cable operators can reduce the costs that the unidirectional digital cable television networks are transformed into bidirectional digital cable television networks. The present invention also provides a method of data interaction via wireless terminal, the method is carried on and realized based on the interaction between the wireless terminal and the digital television reception terminal and the transmission of data over the wireless network, enabling to achieve bidirectional interaction effect between the digital television reception terminal and the server through the unidirectional digital cable television network.
