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).

and sending an application starting message to the second chip through RPC communication, wherein the application starting message is configured to enable the second chip to start the application corresponding to the package name after receiving the application starting message.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein if the application operation message is an application start message, the installation location of the application is the first chip, and the executing the operation instruction corresponding to the application operation message comprises:

and starting the application corresponding to the application starting message.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein if the application operation message is an application deletion message, the installation location of the application is the second chip, and the step of sending the application operation message to the second chip comprises:

sending an application-delete message to the second chip via RPC communication, the application-delete message configured to: and after receiving the application deletion message, the second chip executes the unloading logic and deletes the database and the cache of the application.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein if the application operation message is an application deletion message, the installation location of the application is the first chip, and the executing the operation instruction corresponding to the application operation message comprises:

the uninstall logic, the database and cache of applications corresponding to the delete and delete messages are executed, and the icon of the application corresponding to the delete message is applied on the control elimination screen.

7. A display device, characterized in that the display device comprises:

a screen;

a second chip;

a first chip located between the second chip and the screen, the first chip configured to:

receiving an application operation message input by a user, wherein the application operation message comprises an application starting message or an application deleting message, and the application operation message is input by triggering a control at a focus position on a screen;

determining an installation position of an application corresponding to the application operation message;

if the installation position is the second chip, sending an application operation message to the second chip so that the second chip executes an operation instruction corresponding to the application operation message;

and if the installation position is the first chip, executing an operation instruction corresponding to the application operation message.

8. The display device according to claim 7, wherein the determining of the installation position of the application corresponding to the application operation message comprises:

determining a packet name corresponding to the application operation message according to the application operation message;

and searching the installation position of the application corresponding to the package name by using all prestored application data.

9. The display device according to claim 7, wherein if the application operation message is an application start message, the installation location of the application is the second chip;

sending an application operation message to the second chip is:

and sending an application starting message to the second chip through RPC communication, wherein the starting message is configured to enable the second chip to start the application corresponding to the package name after receiving the application starting message.

10. The display device according to claim 7, wherein if the application operation message is an application start message, the installation location of the application is the first chip;

the executing the application operation message corresponds to the operation instruction as follows: and starting the application corresponding to the application starting message.
