Figures 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 4 is a block diagram of another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The following examples are only used to illustrate the possible implementation aspects of the present invention, but they are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention, and are described first.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3, which show a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The set-top box game interactive system of the present invention includes a set-top box 1 and at least one interactive device 3. In this embodiment, the set-top box game The interactive system includes a plurality of the interactive devices 3.

The set-top box 1 includes a housing 12, and a first processing unit 11 is provided in the housing 12, and the first processing unit 11 is for communication connection with a first display device 2 (a television in this embodiment), The first processing unit 11 transmits and displays a first content screen 21 on the first display device 2.

Each of the interactive devices 3 includes a second processing unit 31, a second display device 32, and a second input device 33. The first processing unit 11 is in communication with the second processing units 31, and the second processing unit 31 A second content screen 36 is transmitted and displayed on the second display device 32, and the second processing unit 31 calculates and processes the command input by the second input device 33 and displays it on the second display device 32 and transmits it to the second display device 32. One processing unit 11.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, each of the interactive devices 3 includes a mobile device 34, the second processing unit 31 is provided in the mobile device 34, the mobile device 34 includes a touch screen 35, and the touch screen 35 is provided with There are the second display device 32 and the second input device 33, and commands can be input by touching the touch screen 35.

Preferably, the first processing unit 11 and each of the second processing units 31 communicate with each other via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi wireless network or infrared wireless transmission. In this embodiment, the Bluetooth is used for communication.

Wherein, the set-top box 1 and the interactive devices 3 both have a game APP 41, and the game APP 41 of the interactive devices 3 is matched with the game APP 41 of the set-top box 1. Furthermore, the game APP 41 is a board game game, the first content screen 21 is a seabed 42 of a board game game, and the second content screen 36 of each interactive device 3 is a card set 43 of each player. , The first content screen 21 will not reveal each The second content screen 36 of the interactive device 3. For example, in this embodiment, the game APP 41 is a mahjong board game, the first content screen 21 is the seabed 42 of the mahjong game, and the second content screen 36 of each interactive device 3 is the mahjong tiles held by each player Therefore, the interactive devices 3 cannot know each other's mahjong tiles in the hands of the interactive device 3, and the first content screen 21 only displays the mahjong tiles that the interactive devices 3 have played, which can be used by others Fair game viewing conditions to improve game fairness and play excitement, so the set-top box game interactive system can improve the use of the set-top box 1, and make the set-top box 1 more than just watching TV programs. .
