Referring to fig. 5 and 6, fig. 5 is an application scenario diagram of a display device according to a feasible embodiment, and fig. 6 is a flowchart of interaction between the display device and a service in the application scenario shown 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 as is conventional in the art, and applicant does not make any limitation here.

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

As a viable embodiment, each time in response to powering on, the controller sends a network channel request to the server;

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

it should be noted that this embodiment is merely illustrative of a few trigger conditions for the trigger control controller to send the network channel request, and in the practical application, the trigger conditions may be, but are not limited to, the above-mentioned several modes, and the applicant does not make any excessive limitation here.

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

In this embodiment, the server collects network channel data once every preset time interval, and stores the network channel data. Each time the 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, the preset time may be 5 seconds in a feasible embodiment.

In the present application, the network channel data includes a network channel name including a name of a network channel searched by a service.

In the application, the network channel name can be used as the unique identification of the network channel, so that each channel has one and only one network channel name.

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

Table 1 provides a list of channels for a feasible embodiment, where the list of channels records network channel names.

TABLE 1

It can be seen that the channel list records network channel names.

The controller is configured to execute step S64 to control the display to present the channel list in response to a user invoking the channel list.

As an implementation manner, after the controller finishes drawing the channel list, the controller may not directly display the channel list, and only in an application scenario that 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 at an upper layer of the currently playing program in a layer manner 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 at the top layer 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 illustrative of two ways of presenting the channel list, and in the practical application process, the way of presenting the program list may be, but is not limited to, the two ways described above, and the applicant does not make any limitation here.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, fig. 7 illustrates a display interface showing a channel list according to one possible embodiment; it can be seen that a plurality of channel names 72 are recorded in the channel list 71, and the channel names are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, so as to facilitate the user to view the network channels that can be received by the display device.

In some feasible embodiments, the channel list further comprises the live channel name, the controller further configured to: and drawing a channel list based on the live channel names.

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

As a feasibility implementation, both network channels and live channels 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 feasible embodiment; it can be seen that the channel names 92 of the network channels and the channel names (not shown) of the live channels can be recorded simultaneously in the channel list 91. As a feasible embodiment, since the channel list corresponding to the channels is drawn in advance, in an application scenario where the network channel and the live channel are recorded in one channel list at the same time, the network channel may be shown 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, where the applicant does not make excessive restrictions.

Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing drawing 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 issued by a server, writing the network channel data into a database so that a user can operate the network channel data recorded in the database according to requirements;

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

the implementation of writing the network channel data into the database may be performed in a data writing manner that is conventional in the art, and the applicant does not make any limitation here.

As one implementation, a user may write multiple copies of the database's network channel data for editing, which may include, but is not limited to: writing, deleting, replacing, etc.

As a feasible embodiment, in order to ensure that the controller can receive as many network channel data servers as possible and send all the network channel data which can be searched to the controller, because the requirements of each user on 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 which is not concerned by the user in the database according to the requirements.

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

It should be noted that this embodiment is merely illustrative of two ways of editing network channel data in a database, and in the practical application process, the way of editing network channel data may be, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned ways, and the applicant does not limit the way too much.

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

In the solution shown in this embodiment, the server issues the latest searched network channel data to the controller every time it receives a network channel data request sent by 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, replaces the stored network channel data with the received network channel data. And the controller redraws the channel list once every time the writing of the network channel data is finished, so that the latest version of the channel list can be called when a user calls the channel list, and the accuracy of the display content of the channel list is further ensured.

As an implementation manner, the network channel data further includes a channel tag, fig. 11 is a flowchart showing a drawing of a channel list according to a feasible embodiment, and the controller is further configured to perform steps S111 to S112:

s111 clusters the network channel data according to the channel label;

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

It should be noted that the present embodiment is merely illustrative of two setting manners of channel tags, and the setting manners of channel tags in the practical application process may be, but are not limited to, the above two setting manners, and the applicant does not make any limitation here.
