according to a first aspect of the present application, there is provided a display device including:

a display;

a controller configured to perform:

when a standby instruction is received in the video playing process, starting and operating a first application program to enable a second application program for video playing to pause video playing and control the display equipment to enter a standby state from a current operating state;

when receiving an operation instruction under the condition that the display equipment is in a standby state, the display equipment is recovered to an operation state before entering the standby state from the current standby state, when the display equipment is recovered to the operation state from the current standby state, the first application program is recovered to operate, and when detecting that a laser used for providing a light source for the display is started, the first application program is closed so as to enable the second application program to recover video playing.

According to a second aspect of the present application, there is provided a video playing method applied to a display device, the method including:

According to the technical scheme, in the process of playing the video by the second application program in the display device, if the standby instruction is received, the standby process is not directly executed, but the first application program is started first, so that the second application program is switched from the foreground to the background to run, and the video playing is suspended. Therefore, when the display device receives the running instruction subsequently and recovers from the standby state, the second application program still runs in the background, and the first application program can be closed after waiting for the laser to be started, so that the second application program can not enter the foreground to run to continue playing the video before the laser is started, and the synchronous playing of the video audio and the video picture is realized.

In some embodiments, the system runtime layer provides support for the upper layer, i.e., the framework layer, and when the framework layer is used, the android operating system runs the C/C + + library included in the system runtime layer to implement the functions to be implemented by the framework layer.

In some embodiments, the kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. As shown in fig. 4, the core layer includes at least one of the following drivers: audio drive, display drive, bluetooth drive, camera drive, WIFI drive, USB drive, HDMI drive, sensor drive (such as fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, touch sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), and so on.

In some embodiments, the kernel layer further comprises a power driver module for power management.

In some embodiments, software programs and/or modules corresponding to the software architecture of fig. 4 are stored in the first memory or the second memory shown in fig. 2 or 3.

In some embodiments, taking the magic mirror application (photographing application) as an example, when the remote control receiving device receives a remote control input operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is sent to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the input operation into an original input event (including information such as a value of the input operation, a timestamp of the input operation, etc.). The raw input events are stored at the kernel layer. The application program framework layer obtains an original input event from the kernel layer, identifies a control corresponding to the input event according to the current position of the focus and uses the input operation as a confirmation operation, the control corresponding to the confirmation operation is a control of a magic mirror application icon, the magic mirror application calls an interface of the application framework layer to start the magic mirror application, and then the kernel layer is called to start a camera driver, so that a static image or a video is captured through the camera.

In some embodiments, for a display device with a touch function, taking a split screen operation as an example, the display device receives an input operation (such as a split screen operation) that a user acts on a display screen, and the kernel layer may generate a corresponding input event according to the input operation and report the event to the application framework layer. The window mode (such as multi-window mode) corresponding to the input operation, the position and size of the window and the like are set by an activity manager of the application framework layer. And the window management of the application program framework layer draws a window according to the setting of the activity manager, then sends the drawn window data to the display driver of the kernel layer, and the display driver displays the corresponding application interface in different display areas of the display screen.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the application layer containing at least one application may display a corresponding icon control in the display, such as: the system comprises a live television application icon control, a video on demand application icon control, a media center application icon control, an application center icon control, a game application icon control and the like.

In some embodiments, the live television application may provide live television via different signal sources. For example, a live television application may provide television signals using input from cable television, radio broadcasts, satellite services, or other types of live television services. And, the live television application may display video of the live television signal on the display device 200.

In some embodiments, a video-on-demand application may provide video from different storage sources. Unlike live television applications, video on demand provides a video display from some storage source. For example, the video on demand may come from a server side of the cloud storage, from a local hard disk storage containing stored video programs.

In some embodiments, the media center application may provide various applications for multimedia content playback. For example, a media center, which may be other than live television or video on demand, may provide services that a user may access to various images or audio through a media center application.

In some embodiments, an application center may provide storage for various applications. The application may be a game, an application, or some other application associated with a computer system or other device that may be run on the smart television. The application center may obtain these applications from different sources, store them in local storage, and then be operable on the display device 200.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

As described above, the display device includes: a display, a controller coupled to the display. In the present embodiment, the controller is configured to perform: when a standby instruction is received in the video playing process, starting and operating a first application program to enable a second application program for video playing to pause video playing and control the display equipment to enter a standby state from a current operating state; when receiving an operation instruction under the condition that the display equipment is in a standby state, the display equipment is recovered to an operation state before entering the standby state from the current standby state, when the display equipment is recovered to the operation state from the current standby state, the first application program is recovered to operate, and when detecting that a laser used for providing a light source for the display is started, the first application program is closed so as to enable the second application program to recover video playing.

Correspondingly, the embodiment also provides a method for realizing the corresponding operation of the processor. Please refer to fig. 6, which is a flowchart illustrating a video playing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 6, the process may include the following steps:

step 101, when a standby instruction is received in the video playing process, starting and running a second application program to enable the first application program for video playing to pause video playing and control the display equipment to enter a standby state from the current running state;

in this embodiment, the second application may be any local application capable of playing video, such as youtube application, Tencent video application, and so on. As to which application program the second application program is and which video the second application program plays specifically, the determination may be made according to practical situations, and the application does not specifically limit the second application program and the video played by the second application program.

In contrast to the aforementioned second application, the first application refers to one of other applications that are local except for the second application.

Optionally, the first application may be an existing application that does not automatically play audio or video after being started, such as an application of a notepad, weather, and the like, but the first application is started and enters a foreground to operate, so that an interface displayed on the display is changed, that is, an original interface of the second application is switched to an interface of a notepad, weather, and the like, so that a user mistakenly thinks that the display device is abnormal, and the user experience is poor.

Optionally, the first application program may also be a newly developed application program, and the application program does not have a video playing function and an interface of the application program is completely black, compared with the existing application program. The reason why the interface of the application program is set to be completely black is that the display of the display device is firstly turned off when the display device enters the standby state from the power-on state, and then the display device gradually enters the standby state. Therefore, the interface of the first application program is set to be completely black, so that the effect that the display is in a black screen state can be simulated after the first application program is started and runs in the foreground, a user can mistakenly think that the display equipment is executing a normal process of entering a standby state from a starting state, and the user experience is further improved.

The application running in the foreground is an application whose interface is displayed on the display of the display device, can be viewed by the user, and is running. There are also applications that run in the background as opposed to applications that run in the foreground. Here, an application running in the background refers to an application whose interface is not displayed on the display of the display device, cannot be seen by the user, and is in a suspended running state.

As one example, there are multiple implementations for launching and running the second application. As one implementation, the first application may be launched according to a locally stored android application APK corresponding to the first application.

Alternatively, the APK of the first application may be stored in the present display device in advance. When the first application program needs to be started, the APK consistent with the file name can be found locally according to the file name of the pre-stored APK of the first application program, and then the APK is used for starting the first application program.

It should be noted that, when the first application includes a plurality of displayable interfaces, the interface used by the first application for displaying may be set by the Activity name. For example, an Activity name corresponding to the interface for display may be configured in advance, and when the first application program is started, the corresponding interface is selected according to the Activity name and displayed on the display.

It can be seen from the above step 101 that, after receiving the standby instruction, the display device does not directly execute the process of entering the standby state from the power-on state, but starts the first application program and controls it to run in the foreground first, and since only one application program can run in the foreground at the same time, the second application program can automatically enter the background to run and enter the pause running state after controlling the first application program to run in the foreground, so that the video played before is also stopped to be played. And then, executing the process of entering the standby state from the power-on state so as to enable the display equipment to enter the standby state.

In the embodiment of the present application, the standby state may refer to an STR standby state. The following describes a process of entering the STR standby state from the power-on state (i.e. the current operating state of the display device) by taking the STR (Suspend to ram, also called memory standby mode) standby state as an example:

for example, a user may input a standby instruction to the display device in the power-on state by pressing a power key on the control device, and after receiving the standby instruction, the display device stores, by the FrameWork layer and in response to the standby instruction, running state information of each application program and each hardware (including a laser) into a memory (e.g., a RAM), releases a hardware resource being used (e.g., a display, a hard disk, an external device, etc.), and freezes each application program (the application program enters the Freeze state); the power supply module controls the power supply circuit to power down other hardware except the RAM and the MCU, namely the power supply circuit is controlled to only keep supplying power to the RAM and the MCU; and transmitting the off-screen broadcast to turn off the display. At this point, the display device enters the STR standby state.

It should be noted that, before the application running in the foreground enters the Freeze state, STR _ RESUME broadcast is registered in the display device, so that when the display device returns from the standby state to the previous running state, the STR _ RESUME broadcast may be sent to each application based on the registered STR _ RESUME broadcast, so that the application originally running in the foreground is switched from the Freeze state to the running state and runs in the foreground.

So far, the description of the flow of the display device entering the STR standby state from the power-on state is completed.

Step 102, when receiving an operation instruction under the condition that the display device is in the standby state, restoring the current standby state to the operation state before entering the standby state, restoring the first application program to operate when the display device is restored to the operation state from the current standby state, and closing the first application program when detecting that a laser used for providing a light source for the display is started, so as to restore the video playing of the second application program.

The following describes a flow of entering the display device from the STR standby state to the power-on state (i.e. recovering to the operation state of the display device before standby) by taking the STR standby state as an example:

for example, a user may input a power-on instruction from standby to power-on to a display device in an STR standby state by pressing a power key on a control device, and when the display device receives the power-on instruction, the FrameWork layer reads the running state information of each hardware (including a laser) and each application program from the memory in response to the power-on instruction, and performs hardware initialization based on the read running state information of the hardware; the power supply module controls the power supply circuit to supply power to each hardware, starts the operating system program to restore to the state before suspension, and enables each application program to restore to the operating state before the Freeze state based on the operating state information of each application program; and sending a bright screen broadcast to cause the display to light. At this point, the display device enters a power-on state.

So far, the description of the flow of the display device entering the power-on state from the STR standby state is completed.

As can be seen from the above-described process of the display device entering the power-on state from the STR standby state (i.e., resuming to the running state of the display device before standby), after the display device resumes to the running state of the display device before standby, the application running in the foreground is still the first application, while the second application is still running in the background, and the video played by the second application before the display device enters the standby state is still in the pause state. Because the starting time required by the laser in the starting process is long, after the display equipment enters the starting state, the laser is still in the starting process, but because the second application program still runs in the background, no video is played at this time, and the problem that only the audio of the video can be played but the picture of the video cannot be played naturally does not occur.

Although controlling the first application program to run in the foreground can ensure that the video played by the second application program is in a pause state in the starting process of the laser, the first application program cannot be controlled to run in the foreground without limitation. Thus, upon determining that the laser has completed booting, the first application running in the foreground may be closed, causing the second application running in the background to switch to the foreground and continue playing video that was previously paused. Because the laser is started up, the second application program is controlled to continue playing the video at the moment, and the synchronous playing of the audio and the picture of the video can be ensured. The following description will describe how to determine that the laser has completed the startup in step 102, and will not be described here again.

The flow shown in fig. 6 is completed.

How the determination of the laser complete activation in step 102 is described in detail below in three different implementations.

As a first implementation manner, it may be determined that the laser is started up when the duration of time after the display device is restored from the current standby state to the operating state exceeds a first set duration.

In this implementation, a duration threshold may be preset as the first set duration. The first set time period here needs to be set according to the start time period of the laser in the display device, and the first set time period needs to be equal to or slightly longer than the start time period of the laser. For example, if the starting time of the laser is 15 seconds, the first set time is 15 seconds at the shortest, so as to ensure that the laser has been started after the first set time.

In this implementation manner, when the display device is restored from the standby state to the operating state before the standby state, a pre-configured timing function may be called to time the operating duration of the display device after being restored to the operating state before the standby state. When the operation time length is equal to the first set time length, it can be determined that the laser in the display device is started up.

A first implementation of how it is determined that the laser has completed startup in step 102 is described in detail above.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flowchart of a second implementation of the above step 102 provided in some embodiments of the present application.

Referring to fig. 7, the process may include the following steps:

step 201, periodically checking whether a configured laser flag bit is a first value, where the first value is used to indicate that the laser is started up.

Before the step 201 is executed, a flag (denoted as a laser flag) may be configured for the laser in advance. When the laser has completed its startup, the laser will set the laser flag to a first value, such as 1. When the laser is turned off, the laser modifies the laser flag from a first value to a second value, such as 0.

As an example, in this step 201, periodically checking whether the configured laser flag bit is the first value may be implemented by a timer.

Optionally, after the display device is restored from the standby state to the operating state before the standby state, a timer may be started, where a timing duration of the timer is a time interval of the periodic detection, for example, 100 milliseconds. When the timer passes the timing duration, the self timing duration is reset and the operation of checking whether the laser flag bit is the first value is triggered.

Step 202, if the flag bit of the laser is checked to be a first value, it is determined that the laser is started.

This step 202 is performed on the premise that the laser flag is checked to be the first value.

If the laser flag is detected to be the first value, indicating that the laser has been started, the laser flag may be checked, i.e. the timer started in step 201 is turned off.

In one example, to avoid that the timer started after the display device is restored from the standby state to the operating state before the standby state for the previous time is not normally turned off, and thus there are a plurality of timers which frequently trigger the operation of checking whether the laser flag is the first value, it may be checked whether there is a currently started timer immediately before the timer is started after the display device is restored from the standby state to the operating state before the standby state for the current time. If so, the timer may be determined to be a timer that was not previously normally closed, and thus the timer may be restarted after being closed.

A second implementation of how it is determined in step 102 that the laser has completed startup is described in detail above.

Based on this implementation, can be comparatively timely detect that the laser instrument has accomplished the start-up, like this, broadcast video that can be comparatively quick shortens user's latency, improves user experience.

As a third implementation manner, when the duration of the display device after returning from the current standby state to the operating state exceeds a second set duration, if any instruction is received, it may be determined that the laser is started, and the second set duration is less than the first set duration.

In this implementation, a duration threshold may be preset as the second set duration. The second set time period here needs to be set according to the start-up time period of the laser in the display device, and may be appropriately shorter than the start-up time period of the laser. For example, if the laser is activated for 15 seconds, the second time period may be 10 seconds, 13 seconds, etc. That is, the second set time period is shorter than the first set time period.

In addition, in this implementation, a response flag bit (for example, may be named as isacepttkey flag bit) may be configured in advance. Here, the value of the response flag may be a third value, such as false, or a fourth value, such as tune. Wherein the third value is used to instruct the display device to refrain from responding to any received instruction. I.e. the second flag is the second value, the user cannot use the control means to perform any operation on the display device. And the fourth value is used for indicating that the display equipment receives any instruction and determining that the laser is started. That is, the second flag is the fourth value, and it is determined that the laser has been activated no matter which specific command is received by the display device.

In this implementation, the value of the response flag is the third value by default. After the display device is in the operating state before the standby state is recovered to the standby state, the display device needs to go through a second set time length first, and then the display device modifies the response flag bit from the third value to the fourth value. Since the user hardly sends the instruction to the display device continuously, the display device usually receives the instruction sent by the user after a second set time period after the operation state before the standby state is recovered to the standby state from the standby state, and the laser is basically started.

As described above, since the value of the response flag can determine what operation is performed by the display device after receiving the instruction, the display device first detects the value of the response flag after receiving the instruction. When the response flag bit is detected to be a third value, the response is prohibited when the duration of the display device after the current standby state is recovered to the running state does not exceed the second set duration. And when the instruction is received and the response flag bit is detected to be a fourth value, the laser can be determined to be started completely.

The above description details how the determination of the laser complete activation in step 102.

This completes a detailed description of three implementations of how the determination of laser complete activation in step 102 above is made.
