Referring to fig. 5 and 6, fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating an application scenario of a display device according to a feasible embodiment, and fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating interaction between the display device and a service in the application scenario illustrated in fig. 5;

the controller is configured to perform step S61 of sending a network channel request to the server;

the implementation of sending the network channel request to the server may be implemented by sending the request as is conventional in the art, and the applicant does not make much limitation herein.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the network channel data received by the controller, in some feasible embodiments, the controller may send a network channel request every preset time interval to ensure that the server may send the newly collected network channel data to the controller. The preset time is not limited in this embodiment, and can be set according to the requirement, for example, in a feasible embodiment, the preset time can be 5 minutes.

As a possible embodiment, each time in response to the power-on, the controller sends a network channel request to the server;

as a possible embodiment, the controller sends a network channel request to the server each time in response to an update of the end user license agreement;

as a possible embodiment, the controller sends a network channel request to the server each time in response to a connection of the network;

it should be noted that the present embodiment is merely an exemplary description of several triggering conditions for triggering the controller to send the network channel request, and in the process of practical application, the triggering conditions may be, but are not limited to, the above several ways, and the applicant does not make much limitation herein.

The server performs step S62 of issuing network channel data in response to the network channel request.

In this embodiment, the server collects the network channel data once at preset intervals, and stores the network channel data. Each time network channel data is collected, if the collected network channel data is inconsistent with the stored network channel data, replacing the stored network channel data with the collected network channel data. The preset time is not limited in this embodiment, and may be set according to the requirement, for example, in a feasible embodiment, the preset time may be 5 seconds.

In this application, the network channel data includes a network channel name, and the network channel name includes a name of a network channel searched by the service.

In the present application, the network channel name may be used as a unique identifier of the network channel, and therefore, each channel has one and only one network channel name.

The controller is configured to perform step S63 of drawing a channel list, which is recorded with network channel names, based on the network channel names.

Table 1 provides a channel list with network channel names recorded in the channel list, according to one possible embodiment.

TABLE 1

Serial number	Channel name	Remarks for note
			1	Network channel 1
2	Network channel 2
			3	Network channel 3
4	Network channel 4
			……	……
N	Network channel N

It can be seen that the channel list is recorded with network channel names.

The controller is configured to perform step S64 of controlling the display to present the channel list in response to a user calling the channel list.

As an implementation manner, after the controller finishes drawing the channel list, the channel list may not be directly displayed, and only in an application scenario where the user calls the channel list, the controller controls the display to display the channel list.

As one implementation, the channel list may be presented in a picture layer on the top of the currently playing program, so that the user can see the content (network channel name) presented by the channel list.

As one implementation, the channel list may be presented in a window fashion at an upper level of the currently playing program so that the user can see the content (network channel name) presented by the channel list.

The present embodiment is merely an exemplary way to present two channel lists, and in the process of practical application, the way to present the program list may be, but is not limited to, the above two ways, and the applicant does not make much limitation herein.

The following description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which fig. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display interface with a channel list according to an embodiment; it can be seen that a plurality of channel names 72 are recorded in the channel list 71, and the channel names are arranged from top to bottom in sequence, so that a user can conveniently view network channels that can be received by the display device.

In some possible embodiments, the channel list further includes the live channel name, and the controller is further configured to: and drawing a channel list based on the live channel name.

FIG. 8 illustrates a display interface showing a channel list in accordance with one possible embodiment; it can be seen that a plurality of channel names 82 are recorded in the channel list 81, and the channel names in this embodiment are the channel names of the live channels, and the channel names are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, so that a user can conveniently view the live channels that can be received by the display device.

As a feasible implementation, the network channel and the live channel may be recorded simultaneously with one channel list. Specifically, referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a display interface showing a channel list according to a possible embodiment; it can be seen that the channel list 91 can record the channel name 92 of the network channel and the channel name of the live channel (not shown). As a feasible embodiment, since the channel list corresponding to the channel is drawn in advance, in an application scenario where a network channel and a live channel are recorded in one channel list at the same time, the network channel may be displayed above the live channel in the channel list. As a feasible embodiment, in an application scenario where a network channel and a live channel are recorded in a channel list at the same time, a user may set a display order of the network channel and the live channel, which is not limited by the applicant herein.

Fig. 10 is a flow chart illustrating the rendering of a channel list according to a possible embodiment, the controller being further configured to perform steps S101 to S102:

s101, in response to receiving network channel data sent by a server, writing the network channel data into a database so that a user operates the network channel data recorded by the database according to requirements;

as an implementation manner, the controller may write the network channel data sent by the server into the database, so that the user operates the network channel data recorded in the database according to the requirement;

the network channel data may be written into the database in a manner that is conventional in the art, and applicant does not intend to limit the invention.

As one way to achieve this, the user may edit the network channel data written into the database, and the editing may include but is not limited to: write, delete, replace, etc.

As a feasible embodiment, in order to ensure that the controller can receive as many network channel data as possible, the server sends all the network channel data that can be searched to the controller, and as the requirements of each user for the network channels are different, in order to achieve the personalized configuration of the network channel data, the user can delete some network channel data that are not concerned by the user in the database according to the requirements.

As a feasible embodiment, in order to achieve personalized configuration of network channel data, a user may add some identifiers to the channel data according to needs, so as to facilitate the user to identify corresponding channel data, for example, in some feasible embodiments, the user may add a definition identifier to the network channel data, and the definition identifier may also be drawn in a channel list in a subsequent channel list drawing process, so that the user may hit the definition of a program played by a network channel in the channel list.

It should be noted that, this embodiment merely describes two editing manners of the network channel data in the database by way of example, and in the process of practical application, the editing manners of the network channel data may be, but are not limited to, the above several manners, and the applicant does not make much limitation herein.

S102, in response to completion of writing of the network channel data, draws a channel list based on the network channel name.

In the solution shown in this embodiment, each time the server receives a network channel data request sent by the controller, the server sends the recently searched network channel data to the controller. The controller judges whether the received network channel data is consistent with the network channel data stored in the database every time the controller collects the network channel data, and if the received network channel data is inconsistent with the stored network channel data, the controller replaces the stored network channel data with the received network channel data. And each time the controller responds to the completion of the writing of the network channel data, the controller redraws the channel list once again so as to ensure that the user can call the channel list of the latest version when calling the channel list, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the content displayed by the channel list.

As an implementation manner, the network channel data further includes a channel tag, fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating drawing a channel list according to a possible embodiment, and the controller is further configured to execute steps S111 to S112:；

s111, clustering the network channel data according to the channel labels;

in this embodiment, the channel tag is used to record a category to which the network channel belongs, where the category may be, but is not limited to, children, music, sports, and the like. As an implementation manner, the channel tag may be preset by a server, and the server may configure the channel tag for the network channel data corresponding to the network channel according to a program type played by the network channel. As an implementation manner, the channel tag operator sets the channel tag, and then the server directly encapsulates the channel tag set by the third party operator in the network channel data.

It should be noted that, this embodiment merely describes two setting manners of the channel tag by way of example, and in the process of practical application, the setting manners of the channel tag may be, but are not limited to, the two setting manners described above, and the applicant does not make much limitation herein.

The implementation manner of clustering the network channel data according to the channel labels may adopt a data clustering manner that is customary in the art, and the applicant does not make much limitation here.

S112 draws a sub-channel list based on the clustered network channel data, where each type of the network channel data corresponds to one sub-channel list.

Table 2 provides a sub-channel list for recording programs of the children class for a possible embodiment.

Referring still to fig. 19, as a possible embodiment, the user can control the display to show the programs broadcast on the network channel in a future period of time or the programs broadcast on the network channel in a past period of time through the time control 193.

Generally, the playing mechanism of the live channel is different from the playing process of the network channel, and the playing process of the live channel is as follows: the broadcast signal is directly played, and the playing process of the network channel is as follows: the third-party application needs to be opened, and then the third-party application plays the audio and video data through the player of the browser. When the third-party application is started, the current window of the display device is converted into the display window of the third-party application from the window for displaying the channel list, so that the user cannot perform any operation on the channel list, and the user experience is poor.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the display device shown in the above embodiments is further optimized in the embodiments of the present application, and the following describes an operation process of the display device with reference to specific drawings.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart of an operation of a display device provided according to a possible embodiment, wherein the display device includes at least a display and a controller, and the controller is configured to perform steps S201-S204;

s201 controls the display to show the channel list.

S202, responding to the channel switching operation of the user on the channel list, and judging whether the switched channel is a network channel;

there are various ways in which a user can switch channels on the channel list.

For example, as a feasible implementation manner, the channel list includes a plurality of program controls, each of the program controls includes a network channel name corresponding to a network channel, and a user can control a focus to move among the program controls through a remote controller, so as to implement channel switching. And the switched channel is a network channel corresponding to the program control touched by the user.

The embodiment merely describes an implementation manner of switching channels on the channel list, and other manners of switching channels on the channel list may be adopted in the process of practical application. The applicant hereby does not make any undue restrictions. If the switched channel is a network channel, S203 sends a start instruction to the player to enable the player to play network audio and video data, where the network audio and video data is audio and video data corresponding to the network channel.

In the solution shown in this embodiment, the network channel data may include a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the network channel playing program.

The implementation mode of playing the network audio and video data by the player can be that after the player is started, the controller calls corresponding network audio and video data at a corresponding position of the server based on the URL, and then the controller sends the called network audio and video data to the started player, so that the player can play the network audio and video data.

As a feasible embodiment, the controller sends a start instruction to the player once in response to a channel switching operation of the user on the channel list, and if the player is in an on state, the player ignores the start instruction, and if the player is in an off state, the player is started.

And if the switched channel is a live channel, S204 plays audio and video data of the live channel.

According to the technical scheme, the live channel and the network channel are fused in the channel list, under the condition that the display displays the channel list, if the channel switched by the user is the network channel, the controller directly controls the player to start by sending the starting instruction instead of starting the player through the third-party application, the player opened in the process is not managed as an application any more, therefore, the operation window of the display is still the corresponding window in the channel list, the user can still know the network channel and the live channel which can be received by the display equipment through the building block list, and can watch the program played by the network channel, and the user experience is good.
