Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for allocating hardware devices in a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. The method for allocating the hardware devices in the terminal can comprise the following steps.
In step 210, a hardware device application request for obtaining a service is obtained when the service in the terminal is triggered.
Wherein the service is used to implement functions in the terminal. In the terminal, when any service is triggered, the request for application of the hardware equipment of the service is acquired. The hardware device application request is used for applying for the required hardware device for the triggered service, and the triggered service can be realized in the terminal through a matching party of the hardware device.
It can be understood that the implementation process of the service in the terminal is an operation process of a corresponding application in the terminal, and in this requirement, a specific function can be output by requiring mutual cooperation of hardware devices. Therefore, there is a need to implement adaptive hardware device allocation in a terminal.
In step 230, the hardware device requesting to start service association is triggered in the terminal.
It should be noted that, first, any service in the terminal has its associated hardware device. When the trigger of the service in the terminal is monitored, the hardware equipment related to the service is started.
Specifically, a hardware device allocation process for a service is requested to initiate by a hardware device application request. In the process, the hardware device associated with the service is firstly allocated to the service, namely the hardware device associated with the service is started.
In step 250, the started hardware device is used as an initial, the hardware device is discovered step by step according to the hardware device link relation conforming to the hardware configuration of the terminal itself to obtain the target device information, and the target device marked in the target device information is allocated to the service.
The terminal is configured with a hardware device link relation, and the link relation of each hardware device is marked step by step in the hardware device link relation according to the distribution requirement of the hardware devices. In the link relationship of the hardware device, there is a target device, that is, a hardware device that is assigned by the upper level and linked in the link relationship of the hardware device.
Therefore, in the hardware device allocation realized by the present disclosure, the hardware device associated with the service is used as the initial, and the hardware device is discovered step by step based on the link relationship of the hardware device, so that the hardware device discovery at multiple stages in the link relationship of the hardware device and the hardware device allocation brought by the discovery are realized.
The multi-level hardware device discovery based on the link relationship of the hardware devices is that the target device obtained by the previous level hardware device discovery is the source device discovered by the current level hardware device.
And distributing the target equipment for the service according to the obtained target equipment information, thereby realizing the distribution of the hardware equipment step by step, forming a hardware equipment chain corresponding to the realization of the service and further finishing the realization of the service in the terminal.
Through the process, the dynamic allocation of the hardware equipment in the terminal is realized, the ordered hardware equipment scheduling is carried out on the service triggered in the terminal, and the smooth realization of the service in the terminal is ensured.
Since the hardware device link relationship is consistent with the configuration of the terminal itself, that is, the hardware device link relationship is the link relationship of the hardware device constructed according to the hardware devices supported by the terminal. Therefore, when the hardware configuration of the terminal changes, the link relation of the hardware device can be dynamically adjusted, so that the implementation of the hardware device allocation in the terminal can be adaptively adapted to the change of the hardware configuration, and for the development period of the terminal, compared with the existing iterative update process of the software version required by the change of the hardware configuration, the cost caused by the change of the hardware configuration is avoided.
FIG. 3 is a depiction of details of step 250, shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 3, in the method for allocating hardware devices in the terminal, step 250 may include the following steps.
In step 251, according to the start of the hardware device associated with the service, a hardware device link relationship that is initial to the started hardware device is correspondingly obtained, and the hardware device link relationship is consistent with the hardware configuration of the terminal itself.
And with the starting of the hardware equipment related to the service, obtaining a hardware equipment link relation taking the hardware equipment as an initial hardware equipment according to the started hardware equipment.
As mentioned above, the link relation of the hardware device is denoted by stages, that is, the link relation formed by other hardware devices linked to a hardware device. Therefore, according to the started hardware device, the other hardware devices linked to the started hardware device can be obtained firstly, and the hardware device discovery of the first level is realized.
In step 253, hardware device discovery is performed step by step according to the link relationship of the hardware devices to obtain target device information, and a hardware device allocation application is sent to the corresponding device management object according to the target devices indicated in the target device information.
In the link relationship of the hardware devices, one hardware device serves as a source device and is linked to other hardware devices, namely a target device. Therefore, the hardware equipment discovery can be realized step by the link relation of the hardware equipment and the started hardware equipment, and further target equipment information for marking the target equipment is obtained.
In the step-by-step hardware device discovery, for the obtained target device information, a hardware device allocation application is sent to the corresponding device management object according to the target device indicated by the target device information, so that the target device is allocated for the service through the corresponding device management object.
It should be noted that, in the terminal, a device management object is created for each hardware device, so as to implement control of the hardware device. Each hardware device has a unique corresponding device management object.
And the hardware equipment allocation application is used for allocating the hardware equipment required by the currently triggered service request. Since the device management object is used for controlling the hardware device uniquely corresponding to the device management object, in the process of realizing the hardware device discovery of a level, after the required target device is found for the currently triggered service, the device management object sends a hardware device allocation application to the corresponding device management object, so that the target device can be started.
In step 255, the device management object that receives the hardware device allocation application allocates the target device indicated in the target device information to the service.
The allocation process of the target device is a process of issuing a control instruction to the target device by the device management object which receives the hardware device allocation application to control the operation of the target device.
The control instruction comprises an instruction for initializing the hardware equipment, an instruction for starting the hardware equipment, an instruction for closing the hardware equipment, a setting instruction and the like. Corresponding to a specific hardware device, also includes some characteristic control instructions. For example, for a video output device, a control instruction for adjusting the size of the screen is also included; for the local media device, a control instruction for setting the play speed is also included.
The target device is obtained and controlled step by step through the hardware device discovery and the target device allocation performed in the process, and a hardware device chain formed by the target devices at all levels is formed along with the continuous promotion of the hardware device discovery and the target device allocation performed step by step, wherein the hardware device chain is a hardware resource dynamically allocated for the service and is adaptive to the hardware configuration of the terminal.
FIG. 4 is a depiction of details of step 253, shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 4, in the method for allocating hardware devices in the terminal, step 253 may include the following steps.
In step 2531, source device information is obtained using the currently assigned hardware device as the source device.
Wherein, the currently allocated hardware device refers to a target device allocated for the service through hardware device discovery of the current hierarchy.
That is, the currently allocated hardware device, on the one hand, may be a hardware device associated with a service in an initial stage; on the other hand, in the subsequent stage-by-stage hardware device discovery performed through the link relationship of the hardware device, the target device is found by the previous stage. And the target equipment obtained by searching in the previous level is used as the source equipment discovered by the hardware equipment in the next level.
And obtaining source equipment information by taking the currently allocated hardware equipment as source equipment, wherein the source equipment information marks the source equipment for discovering the hardware equipment.
In step 2533, the target device information corresponding to the source device information is found in the link relationship of the hardware device.
As can be seen from the foregoing description, the link relationship of the hardware device is substantially formed by the link relationship of the source device and the target device. Therefore, the hardware device discovery is to search for the target device in the hardware device link relationship according to the source device indicated in the source device information, and then the target device can be determined, and the target device information indicating the target device is generated.
In step 2535, a hardware device allocation request is sent to the device management object corresponding to the target device information, where the device management object corresponds to the target device indicated in the target device information.
The target device information corresponding to the source device information is obtained through searching, the determined target device can be found by the current hardware device, a hardware device allocation application is sent to a device management object corresponding to the target device information according to the unique corresponding relation between the target device and the device management correspondence, and then the allocation process of the target device is initiated.
Through the above-mentioned process, a hardware device discovery process implemented by one level is provided, and for the link relationship of the hardware device, the hardware device discovery performed by levels will continuously follow the process until the hardware device discovery is completed for the last hardware device in the link relationship of the hardware device, at which time the hardware discovery process implemented by levels can be terminated.
Therefore, for the distribution of the hardware equipment in the terminal, the orderly distribution of the hardware equipment can be automatically realized for the service, and the service realization efficiency in the terminal is greatly improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, a description of the details of step 2533 is shown. This step 2533 may include the following steps.
And searching the target equipment in the link relation of the hardware equipment according to the self state of the target equipment marked in the link relation of the source equipment and the hardware equipment marked in the information of the source equipment to obtain the target equipment information corresponding to the information of the source equipment.
In the link relationship of the hardware devices, for the link relationship of the hardware devices of a hierarchy, the source device, the linked target device, and the state of the target device are indicated. The state of the target device itself includes an available state, an unavailable state, and a pending state. In the target device search performed by the hardware device link relationship, the target device marked as the available state needs to be searched, and then the target device information is correspondingly obtained.
For a source device, the number of target devices linked to the source device is one or more than two, and each target device indicates its own status.
In the process of searching for the target device according to the source device indicated in the source device information, if the source device indicated in the source device information cannot be searched for in the current hierarchy in the link relationship of the hardware device, the hardware device enters the first stage to continue searching until the link relationship of the source device indicated in the source device information is searched for.
The target device marked by the target device information is linked to the source device marked by the source device information, and the target device is in an available state.
Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating a method for allocating hardware devices in a terminal according to an example embodiment. As shown in fig. 5, the method for allocating hardware devices in the terminal may include the following steps.
In step 310, hardware support information of the terminal is acquired.
The hardware support information records the hardware capability supported by the terminal, for example, for the local multimedia function, the supported hardware capability may be hardware separation or software separation. For another example, whether the decoding device supports one-way decoding or multi-way decoding, whether the video output device supports one window or multiple windows, and the like.
The hardware support information can be obtained from the driver through an interface function, or can be read from a configuration file preset by the terminal.
On one hand, when the terminal is started, hardware support information is obtained from a driver through an interface function; on the other hand, if the terminal does not support the interface function, the hardware support information is read from the preset configuration file.
The setting can be flexibly set according to the situation in the actual operation process, and is not limited herein.
In an exemplary embodiment, the obtained hardware support information may be in the form of a list.
In step 330, a hardware device link relationship is dynamically generated according to the hardware support information, and the states of the source device, the target device of the source device, and the target device themselves are indicated in the hardware device link relationship.
The state of each hardware device can be known according to the hardware support information, that is, whether the hardware device is available or not, so that a hardware resource link relationship is dynamically generated according to the hardware support information, and the state of the target device is indicated in the hardware device link relationship, so that the target device finally determined by hardware device discovery is enabled, invalid hardware device discovery is avoided, and higher implementation efficiency is ensured.
Optionally, in an exemplary embodiment, step 310 may include: and dynamically updating the state of the target equipment in the link relation of the hardware equipment configured by the terminal according to the hardware support information.
In an exemplary embodiment, the link relationship of the hardware device may be in the form of a list, that is, the link relationship of the hardware device indicated step by step in the link relationship of the hardware device will also be in the form of a list, that is, the link relationship list of a hardware device, that is, the source device, forms the link relationship of the corresponding hardware device in the link relationship of the hardware device.
Therefore, the link relation lists of the hardware devices form the link relation of the whole hardware device.
In an exemplary embodiment, the link relation list of the hardware device is sequentially arranged according to the basic service of the terminal, so as to improve the processing efficiency in the hardware device discovery process.
Through the above process, after the terminal is started, a real-time hardware device link relationship is generated in the memory of the terminal according to the above process, so that the subsequent triggering of any service can be performed through the real-time hardware device link relationship to allocate the hardware device.
According to the distribution method of the hardware equipment in the terminal, the equipment manager is realized for the terminal, the equipment manager can be automatically adapted to different hardware configurations, such as different types of terminals, through the equipment management object and the link state of the hardware equipment in the equipment manager, and the equipment manager can be applied to terminals with various hardware configurations without being changed.
Taking the terminal as an example of an intelligent television, and combining a specific application scene, a method for distributing hardware equipment in the terminal is described. In this application scenario, a description will be made from a specific implementation perspective of hardware device allocation in the smart television.
After the intelligent television is started, an initialization process of the device manager is carried out, in the process, the hardware support information of the intelligent television is obtained, and a real-time hardware device link relation is dynamically generated in the memory according to the hardware support information.
That is, the device manager is responsible for maintaining the link relationship of the hardware devices, i.e. the link relationship list of the hardware devices, and sorting the link relationship list, i.e. the link relationship of the whole hardware device is formed.
For the dynamic generation of the link relationship of the hardware device, the specific implementation process can be shown as the following description:
the state of each hardware device is obtained according to the hardware support information or static configuration to dynamically generate a link relationship list of each hardware device, for example, in the process, the link relationship list of the multimedia device shown in table 1 is generated.
TABLE 1 Link relationship List for multimedia devices
Similarly, for the smart tv supporting hardware separation, the generated link relation list of the multimedia device is shown in table 2, that is:
table 2 link relation list of multimedia device supporting hardware separation
For the smart tv supporting software separation, the generated link relation list of the multimedia device is shown in table 3, that is:
table 3 link relation list of multimedia device supporting software separation
In addition to this, a link relation list of the splitter device and a link relation list of the decoder will be generated, as shown in table 4 and table 5 in detail.
Table 4 link relation list of splitter devices
TABLE 5 Linked relationship List of decoders
At this time, the device manager sorts the obtained three link relationship lists, that is, the link relationship list of the multimedia device, the link relationship list of the splitter, and the link relationship list of the decoder according to the basic service, that is, the link relationship list of the multimedia device- "the link relationship list of the splitter-" the link relationship list of the decoder ", that is, the link relationship of the hardware device maintained by the device manager, and in the hardware device discovery, the three lists are respectively used as three levels to realize the level-by-level hardware device discovery.
When a user initiates local multimedia playing, namely a local multimedia playing service in the smart television is triggered, the application of the local multimedia playing service is realized, namely the multimedia player applies for allocating hardware resources to the device manager, namely a hardware device application request of the service is sent.
Through the application request of the hardware equipment, the local multimedia equipment associated with the local multimedia playing service is started at first.
Allocating a hardware device of a next hierarchy according to the local multimedia device, for example, for a smart television supporting hardware separation, determining that the hardware device of the next hierarchy is a separator 0 according to table 2; for a smart tv that supports only software separation, the hardware device of the next level is determined to be decoder 0 according to table 3.
At this time, a hardware device allocation application is transmitted to the corresponding device management object, so that the device management object issues a control instruction to the corresponding hardware device, and the allocation of the hardware device is further realized.
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating operation of a device manager in accordance with an example embodiment. As shown in fig. 6, device manager 400 includes a local media device management object 410, a recorded media device management object 420, a streaming media device management object 430, a splitter device management object 440, a decoder device management object 450, a video output device management object 460, and an audio output device management object 470.
Where local media device management object 410 corresponds to local media device 510, recorded media device management object 420 corresponds to recorded media device 520, streaming media device management object 430 corresponds to streaming media device 530, splitter device management object 440 corresponds to splitter 540, decoder management object 450 corresponds to decoder 550, video output device management object 460 corresponds to video output device 560, and audio output device management object 470 corresponds to audio output device 570.
When any device management object receives the hardware device allocation application, it will issue a control instruction to the corresponding hardware device as indicated in fig. 6.
The device management object at the next stage also executes similar logic until the audio output device management object 470, so as to prepare the relevant resources for the implementation of the local multimedia playing service, i.e. forming a logical channel as indicated by an arrow in fig. 6, specifically the hardware device chain shown in fig. 7 and 8, for example, for supporting hardware separation, the hardware device chain supporting local multimedia hardware separation shown in fig. 7 is formed; for supporting software separation, a chain of hardware devices will be formed that supports local multimedia software separation as shown in fig. 8.
