Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the exemplary embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the exemplary embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described exemplary embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

For the convenience of users, various external device interfaces are usually provided on the display device to facilitate connection of different peripheral devices or cables to implement corresponding functions. When a high-definition camera is connected to an interface of the display device, if a hardware system of the display device does not have a hardware interface of a high-pixel camera receiving the source code, data received by the camera cannot be displayed on a display screen of the display device.

Furthermore, due to the hardware structure, the hardware system of the conventional display device only supports one path of hard decoding resources, and usually only supports video decoding with a resolution of 4K at most, so when a user wants to perform video chat while watching a network television, the user needs to use the hard decoding resources (usually GPU in the hardware system) to decode the network video without reducing the definition of the network video screen, and in this case, the user can only process the video chat screen by using a general-purpose processor (e.g. CPU) in the hardware system to perform soft decoding on the video.

The soft decoding is adopted to process the video chat picture, so that the data processing burden of a CPU (central processing unit) can be greatly increased, and when the data processing burden of the CPU is too heavy, the problem of picture blocking or unsmooth flow can occur. Further, due to the data processing capability of the CPU, when the CPU performs soft decoding on the video chat screen, multi-channel video calls cannot be generally implemented, and when a user wants to perform video chat with multiple other users in the same chat scene, access is blocked.

In view of the above aspects, to overcome the above drawbacks, the present application discloses a dual hardware system architecture to implement multiple channels of video chat data (at least one channel of local video).

The event transmission system 2914 may be implemented within the operating system 2911 or within the application 2912. In some embodiments, an aspect is implemented within the operating system 2911, while implemented in the application 2912, for listening for various user input events, and will implement one or more sets of predefined operations in response to various events referring to the recognition of various types of events or sub-events.

Since the functions of the operating system 3911 of the a chip are similar to those of the operating system 2911 of the N chip, reference may be made to the operating system 2911 for relevant points, and details are not repeated here.

As shown in fig. 6b, the application layer of the display device contains various applications that can be executed at the display device 200.

The N-chip application layer 2912 may include, but is not limited to, one or more applications such as: a video-on-demand application, an application center, a game application, and the like. The application layer 3912 of the a-chip may include, but is not limited to, one or more applications such as: live television applications, media center applications, and the like. It should be noted that what applications are respectively contained in the a chip and the N chip is determined according to an operating system and other designs, and the present invention does not need to make specific limitations and divisions on the applications contained in the a chip and the N chip.

The live television application program can provide live television through 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.

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.

The media center application program can provide various applications for playing multimedia contents. 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.

The application program center can provide and store various application programs. 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 a display device. The application center may obtain these applications from different sources, store them in local storage, and then be operable on the display device 200.

As shown in fig. 7, the a chip and the N chip may be connected, communicated and powered through a plurality of different types of interfaces. The interface type of the interface between the a chip and the N chip may include a General-purpose input/output (GPIO) interface, a USB interface, an HDMI interface, a UART interface, and the like. One or more of these interfaces may be used for communication or power transfer between the a-chip and the N-chip. For example, as shown in fig. 7, in the dual hardware system architecture, the N chip may be powered by an external power source (power), and the a chip may not be powered by the external power source but by the N chip.

Besides the interface for connecting with the N chip, the a chip may further include an interface for connecting other devices or components, such as an mipi (mobile industry processor interface) interface for connecting a Camera (Camera), a bluetooth interface, a USB interface, and the like shown in fig. 7.

Similarly, in addition to the interface for connecting with the N chip, the N chip may further include an VBY interface for connecting with a display screen tcon (timer Control register), and an i2S interface for connecting with a power Amplifier (AMP) and a Speaker (Speaker); and an IR/Key interface, a USB interface, a Wifi interface, a bluetooth interface, an HDMI interface, a Tuner interface, and the like.

In one embodiment, the user can also conduct video chat while watching live video. For an N-chip, it can provide a device for live tv through an HDMI2.0 external set-top box shown in fig. 7, and therefore, the N-chip is generally used to present live video.

The live television is directly decoded by the set top box or the radio and television, and hardware decoding resources of N chips are not occupied, so that data received by the hardware resources of the N chips can be decoded by the cameras when the live television is watched and video chat is carried out.

In one embodiment, the user can conduct video chat while watching the network video. In such a scenario, the network or third party application provides video-on-demand whose data requires hardware decoding resources to decode. While data received from the camera also requires hardware decoding. Therefore, if an application scene of performing video chat while watching a network video is desired, data received by the camera and the network video resource need to be decoded on two chips respectively.

When the data received by the camera is subjected to hardware decoding by the N chip, the A chip can be used for carrying out hardware decoding on the video on demand. Therefore, the A chip is used for storing and running the third-party video-on-demand application in the setting of the application program. As shown in fig. 7, the HDMI line between the a chip and the N chip is used to transmit video on demand or data of a third party application. Wherein the HDMI cable is not visible to a user.

Therefore, the hardware configuration shown in fig. 7 can realize one of the scenes of video chat while watching live television and video chat while watching network television, and the hardware decoding capabilities of the a chip and the N chip are not affected.

In addition, as shown in fig. 7, there may be a USB cable as a connection between the a chip and the N chip, and the USB cable is used to transmit the video data received by the camera to the N chip for hardware decoding and presentation on the display. Of course, the USB cable is only an example of a data connection method, and there may be another alternative data connection method between the a chip and the N chip. The end of the chip A is connected with a camera, and the connection between the chip A and the camera can be through an MIPI interface or a USB interface.

In the scene of performing video chat while network chat, the on-demand resource of the third-party video application in the A chip is transmitted to the N chip through the HDMI line and finally displayed on the display. The data of the camera received by the chip A is transmitted to the chip N through the USB line, and is displayed on the display after being decoded.

Since the a chip and the N chip may have independent operating systems respectively installed therein, there are two independent but interrelated subsystems in the display device 200. For example, Android (Android) and various APPs can be independently installed on the chip a and the chip N, so that each chip can realize a certain function, and the chip a and the chip N cooperatively realize a certain function.

A schematic view of a user interface in a display device 200 according to an exemplary embodiment is illustrated in fig. 8 a. As shown in fig. 8a, the user interface includes a plurality of view display areas, illustratively a first view display area 201 and a second view display area 202, wherein the second view display area includes a layout of one or more different items. And a selector in the user interface indicating that the item is selected, the position of the selector being movable by user input to change the selection of a different item.

It should be noted that the multiple view display areas may present display screens of the application programs. For example, the first video display area 201 can present video chat project content, wherein the first video display area 201 includes a local view display area displaying local camera acquisition data and a remote view display area, and the second view display area 202 can present application layer project content (e.g., live video, web video, VOD presentation, application screens, etc.).

As with fig. 8b, in some embodiments, the user may close the video content of the local view display, leaving only the remote video data of the first remote view display and the content of the third view display. In this case, it is detected that the user closes the local view display area, and the camera is automatically closed. In the alternative, the motor is lowered to the initial position.

Optionally, with regard to fig. 8a and 8b, there is a priority difference in the presentation of the different view display areas, and the display priority of the view display areas is different between the view display areas with different priorities. For example, the local view display area 2011 and the remote view display area 2012 have higher priority than the second view display area 202, and when the user uses the acquisition selector and the screen switching in the second view display area 202, the screen display of the first view display area 201 is not obstructed; and when the size and position of the third view display area are changed according to the selection of the user, the size and position of the first view display area 201 and the second view display area 202 are not affected.

The display screens of the same priority level can also be presented, at this time, the selector can switch between the first view display area and the second view display area, and when the size and the position of the first view display area are changed, the size and the position of the second view display area can be changed along with the change.

As one example, the first and second view display areas may present video chat project content and the second view display area may present application layer project content (e.g., live video, web video, VOD presentations, application screens, etc.).

9-10, in some embodiments, when a user opens the video chat application, a video chat interface is presented in the first view display area, and the second view display area can access the external device via HDMI2.0 to present live content; when receiving an instruction to switch to the on-demand video input by the user, the second view display area presents the on-demand content through the second controller connected by the HDMI 1.0.

As shown in fig. 11a and 11b, cameras are mounted on the a chip, and some applications used for the cameras are stored in the a chip and other applications used for the cameras are stored in the N chip. Therefore, the dual chips need to realize sharing of the cameras.

In some embodiments, the a-chip is connected to a camera of the physical MIPI interface. In other embodiments, the camera may also be a camera with interfaces such as USB. A node of/dev/video 0 is provided at the a-chip and is used to indicate the camera input interface on the a-chip.

When the camera related application software on the A chip needs to open the camera, the node of the/dev/video 0 of the A chip is opened. The image with determined resolution is collected, for example, the image with 1080P resolution is collected and then transmitted to the N chips for presentation through the USB connecting wire or other connecting wires.

When the camera-related application software of the N-chip is used for the physical camera of the a-chip, the a-chip may be regarded as a camera connected through a USB interface, the a-chip may be regarded as a slave device (USB camera device), and the N-chip may be regarded as a master device (USB camera host).

A and N are connected through a physical USB line, so that a USB camera device is identified to be accessed on an N chip, and a/dev/video 0 node is generated on the N chip, but because the N capacity is limited, the A end needs to firstly carry out H264 coding or use other coding modes, then the coded data is transmitted to the N, and the N end displays an image after decoding.

When the N-chip camera related application software uses the camera, the node of N chip/dev/video 0 is turned on. In order to enable the N chip/dev/video 0 node to receive data received by the camera sent by the a chip, a virtual camera, i.e., a gadget camera, needs to be implemented at the a chip end. To implement a gadget camera, an uvc-gadget (USB video class) application is implemented as a driver on the A-chip.

In the UVC-gadget application, firstly, the output node of the/dev/video X needs to be virtualized in the A chip, then UVC EVENTs need to be initialized, namely, the probe and the comet of UVC _ device are filled, setup, data, stream and streamoff of UVC EVENTs are registered in the driver through VIDIOC _ SUBSCRIBE _ EVENT, then the UVC EVENTs are circularly processed, the data taken from the A/dev/video 0 is output to the/dev/video X, and then the data is transmitted to the N through the USB bus.

Fig. 12 is a flowchart of invoking camera data acquisition by the N-chip of the camera sharing control.

The uvc-gadget application on the a-chip reads the data of the MIPI camera from the a-chip node video0 through, for example, a V4L2 interface, and then transmits the data to the N-chip through the USB bus.

Wherein, (V4L 2 is an abbreviation of Video4Linux2 (Video for Linux two), and is a kernel driver related to Video equipment in Linux, and V4L2 is an API interface for acquiring picture, Video and audio data under a Linux operating system, and is mainly used for acquiring a USB camera.

For the N chip, A is equivalent to a USB camera device, data of the MIPI camera scalp of the A chip can be read normally by reading/dev/video 0 of the N chip, if the N chip is limited in capacity, video data can be cut in advance according to the requirement of the N end, and the camera data capable of being processed on the N end can be transmitted.

In general, the V4L2 specifically includes: secondly, applying for a plurality of frame buffer areas for video acquisition, and mapping the frame buffer areas from a kernel space to a user space, so as to facilitate an application program to read/process video data; thirdly, queuing the applied frame buffer area in a video acquisition input queue, and starting video acquisition; fourthly, the driver starts the collection of the video data, the application program takes out the frame buffer area from the video collection output queue, after the processing is finished, the frame buffer area is put into the video collection input queue again, and continuous video data are collected in a circulating and reciprocating mode, and fifthly, the video collection is stopped.

The double hardware system chips share one camera, and in order to avoid the situation that when the N chip uses the camera, the A chip calls the camera again, the application discloses a distribution method for calling the camera.

Fig. 13 is a logic flow diagram when the N chip of the camera sharing control calls the camera.

In an embodiment, when no application occupies the camera currently, the camera application is opened at the N-chip end, and a flag bit is written on the a-chip in a dual-system communication manner (the attribute value sys.camera.nova _ used is recorded in the camera node currently used on N), so as to flag that the camera node Video0 is currently used by N. Such as sys.camera.nova _ used = 0. When the N chip does not use the camera, a marking position is reset at A, and the current N is marked without using any camera node, wherein sys.camera.nova _ used = -1;

similarly, when the camera application is opened on the a-chip, a flag bit is written on the a-chip (the current camera node used on N is stored as the attribute value sys.camera.am _ used), which marks that the current a is using the camera node Video0, such as sys.camera.am _ used = 0; when the release camera is closed, the flag bit is reset, and the flag indicates that the current A does not use any camera node, and sys.

FIG. 14 is a logic flow diagram of a camera sharing control chip A calling a camera;

if the application on the N chip is opened and uses the camera, when the application on the A chip is opened and uses the camera, and when the application on the A chip calls a frame layer interface of the camera, a frame layer of the camera can firstly take out a value in an attribute sys.camera.nova _ used of the camera to obtain an occupied camera node usedcamerarid, and the camera is prompted to be occupied at present.

When the chip A is connected with an external camera through an external USB interface. When the camera is opened and used again by the application on the chip A and the application on the chip A calls a frame layer interface of the camera, the frame layer of the camera firstly takes out a value in the attribute sys.camera.nova _ used of the camera to obtain a camera node used Camera Id which is occupied, the IDs of the camera nodes opened by the application in the chip A are compared, and if the IDs are the same, the camera is prompted to be occupied currently; instead, the camera to which the designated camera Id is applied is allowed to be opened. If the Camera is not specified when the application A calls the Camera, the framework layer can open the rear Camera by default, the list of the ID of the whole Camera needs to be traversed at the moment, if the current used Camera Id is rear, the next rear Camera can be searched, and if the current used Camera Id is not found, the occupation of the Camera to be opened at present is prompted; if a new rear camera is found, the newly found rear camera is opened.
