Abstract: A system of using a set-top box to obtain ad information includes a remote control, a set-top box, a program system server, and an advertising server. A first ad request corresponding to a target ad is transmitted to the set-top box via the remote control so as to obtain ad information of the target ad. A second ad request corresponding to the first ad request received is produced and transmitted to the program system server by the set-top box. A third ad request corresponding to the second ad request received is produced and transmitted to the advertising server by the program system server. The advertising server obtains a user's contact information and the ad information of the target ad according to the third ad request and transmits the ad information to the user. Hence, the user obtains the ad information of the target ad conveniently by the set-top box.
