The following describes a display device and a third-party data display control method by taking a control scheme and a user interface for realizing third-party data display of the smart television as an example.
Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of data acquisition between a display device and a server according to an embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, in order to improve user experience, a large amount of media operation content is added to a server of a smart television manufacturer, for example, a news recommendation application demotable content preset for a television may be provided by the smart television manufacturer from the server itself or a third party application.
After a user starts an application of the smart television, a first controller of the smart television sends a data request to a server to acquire data; and a second controller of the server judges the user authority according to the type, the area, the brand and the complete machine capability of the intelligent television and different television applications, determines the content which can be obtained by the user, and performs personalized data configuration on the obtained content of the user.
In some embodiments, the display content available to the smart television application may be captured in advance by the server in the cloud of the server according to the corresponding configuration data, and stored in the cloud database of the server, so that the smart television application can access and obtain the display content at any time.
In some embodiments, for some media assets with strong timeliness, such as news delivery, microblog hot spots and the like, live broadcast information, media asset data of the media assets change at any time, the server cloud captures the data and then provides the captured data to the smart television, and content value of the smart television is reduced.
It should be noted that, a part of the media resource server platform providing media resource data in the television Application, or a service provider, is under copyright protection, and sometimes, the server cloud is not allowed to perform data capture and cloud transfer operations in advance or in real time, so that the Application of the smart television needs to obtain data from a third party platform according to API (Application Programming Interface) information and display the data.
In some embodiments, the smart tv terminal may include, for example, a plurality of applications such as Launcher, free, art, search, sport, store, and so on.
For example, after the user starts the ART application, the content displayed on the user interface comprises the content transmitted by the television server and the content provided by the third platform. For example, a third party platform a provides a content in a format a, and a third party platform B provides B content in B format; after the user starts the Search application, the third platform provided content displayed on the user interface of the user may include a third-party platform C providing C content in a C format and a third-party platform D providing D content in a D format. The data formats of the third-party media asset files acquired from different third-party platforms are inconsistent and different, and the intelligent television application has the problems that the formats cannot be supported, the calculation workload is large, and errors easily occur in the self-processing process.
Fig. 6 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a process of processing a third-party asset file for a television application by a display device according to an embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, the display device provided by the present application includes a display, configured to display user interfaces of various television applications, including display content that is sent by a server and can be directly played and a third-party media asset file that is obtained through interface information, where the third-party media asset file may be displayed as, for example, a picture, a video, a text, an audio, and the like.
In some embodiments, the smart television further includes a first controller, and when a user starts the smart television application, the first controller sends a data request to the server through home page loading preset by the television application or loading operation of the user on media asset content.
For example, a user starts a first application news recommendation, a first controller sends a first data request containing an equipment identifier to a server in response to the operation of the user, and the equipment identifier can be used for a second controller of the server to identify the current intelligent television model, the region, the brand, the complete machine capability and the member authority condition of the user to the first application, so as to determine the content which can be issued to a display device by the server. It should be noted that, for different smart television users, the server may issue different media resource contents according to the operation configuration, so as to implement personalized content recommendation.
In some embodiments, when the third party asset file needs to be played and displayed after the first application is started, the API request is sent to the API module. For example, after the first application is started, the first controller sends a first data request to the server; and then the first application receives the media asset data issued by the server, wherein the media asset data comprises interface information and a direct display media asset file. And the first controller of the display equipment can acquire the third-party media asset file corresponding to the third-party format according to the link address contained in the interface information.
An API request sent by a first application of the display equipment loads an API module in the system, and if the API module is loaded successfully, the system carries out a series of processing on the API request by sorting parameters contained in the API request and calling system API service; if the loading of the API module fails, the system immediately ends the API request process to prevent the system from falling into a downtime state and the API request fails.
The API module continues to judge whether the API request supports or not, and if the API module supports a third-party platform pointed by the API, the API module directly initiates a data request to the third-party commercial media asset platform to directly acquire a third-party media asset file; after the API module successfully acquires the third-party media asset file, the module performs data format processing on the third-party media asset files in other formats to convert the third-party media asset files into file formats which can be recognized by current display equipment, and plays and displays the third-party media asset files, wherein the API request is successful.
Fig. 7 is a logic diagram illustrating the display device identification interface information according to an embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, the server second controller receives a first data request containing a device identifier sent by the smart television, and determines the media asset data available for the smart television according to the device identifier contained in the request, wherein the media asset data contains directly playable media asset data and media asset data which needs to be acquired by the display device through a third-party platform.
The media asset data determined by the second controller of the server comprises interface information and a directly displayed media asset file, wherein the interface information can comprise a unique identifier of a third-party service provider and a link address, and then the second controller issues the determined media asset data to the corresponding intelligent television.
In some embodiments, the first controller of the smart television receives media asset data which is sent by the server and contains interface information, and the controller can acquire a third-party media asset file in a corresponding third-party format based on a link address contained in the interface information.
In some embodiments, after receiving the media asset data sent by the server, the first controller first determines whether the smart television supports the third-party platform media asset content pointed by the interface information.
For example, the first controller verifies whether the third-party service provider unique identifier (provider) contained in the interface information and the link address (URL) are in a list with third-party application support preset in the smart television.
If the third party application support list comprises the received unique identifier of the third party service provider and the link address, the first controller directly requests data for the first voice through the link address without the need of the first voice for requesting data through the link address.
If the third-party application support list does not contain the received unique identifier of the third-party service provider or contains the received unique identifier of the third-party service provider but does not contain the link address, the intelligent television is judged to have no authority to acquire the media asset content of the third-party platform or to have no authority to acquire part of the media asset content of the third-party platform, and the first controller cancels the third-party media asset file contained in the media asset data sent by the acquisition server.
In some embodiments, for the received API interface information, the first controller first determines whether a third-party application list preset by the system includes a unique identifier of a third-party service provider in the interface information, and if not, ends the process; otherwise, the first controller carries out regular matching on the link address in the interface information, namely the request URL, in a third-party application support list, and if the matching fails, the process is terminated; and if the matching is successful, the first controller acquires the third-party media asset file from the interface information.
Fig. 8 is a logic diagram illustrating that a display device acquires a third-party asset file according to an embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, the first data request sent by the smart television to the server further includes a different request ID. For example, a first application news recommendation, after being launched, may be used to display home page recommendations that may include different categories and thus may be obtained by a number of different request IDs, such as a request ID corresponding to international news and a request ID corresponding to national news.
It can be understood that in this embodiment, different request IDs included in the first data request are issued by the same application at the same time; it is to be understood that, in some embodiments, different request IDs included in the first data request may also be implemented as request IDs from the same application and different in sequence at the time of obtaining by the first controller; it is to be understood that in some embodiments, the different request IDs included in the first data request may also be implemented as request IDs from different applications, the same time of acquisition of the first controller, or different request IDs in sequence.
In some embodiments, in the common data requests sent by the smart television, each data request carries an interface request ID, and the third-party data platform returns the third-party media asset data through the interface request ID. In some embodiments, the interface provided by the third-party data platform supports batch requests, that is, a plurality of interface request IDs can be carried in one data request sent by the smart television to the third-party data platform, so that the number of data requests can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.
In some embodiments, after receiving the first data request which is sent by the first controller of the smart television and contains the device identifier and the different request IDs, the second controller of the server determines the media asset data according to the different request IDs contained therein, where the third party media asset file contains different display contents corresponding to the different request IDs.
For example, the first data request sent by the smart television comprises a plurality of different request IDs, the unique identifiers of the third-party service providers are the same, and the corresponding link addresses are different, so that the smart television is supported to obtain the corresponding content of the corresponding request IDs from the different link addresses.
In some embodiments, after the smart television starts the first voice, the first data request sent to the server by the smart television may include a plurality of data requests. When receiving a first request ID sent by a first application, a first controller temporarily stores the first request ID and starts a timer, and when the timing of the timer is reached, the first controller sends a first data request, wherein the first data request comprises a plurality of request IDs received by the first controller from the first application; then before the timer is not reached, the first controller can also receive a second request ID sent by the first application; and after the timing of the timer is reached, the first controller sends a first data request containing the received first request ID and the second request ID to the server so as to acquire the corresponding third-party media asset file.
For example, after receiving an API1 request 1 sent by a first application, the first controller of the smart television stores the API1 request to a Windows global timer, where the time for reaching is preset to 50ms; before the time 50ms is reached and the end, the first controller receives different requests API1 request 2 and API1 request 3 from the first application, and the first controller updates the interface requests to the global timer; when the timing of the timer is reached, the first controller sends a first data request comprising the API1 request 1, the API1 request 2 and the API1 request 3 to the server; and then the first controller makes a data request from a third-party platform according to interface information contained in the media asset data fed back by the server so as to obtain API1 request 1 data, API1 request 2 data and API1 request 3 data in batch. Therefore, the effects of reducing communication uploading and downloading times, avoiding network congestion and reducing communication delay are achieved.
In some embodiments, when the first application requesting data supports display of a waterfall flow layout page, and when the first controller of the smart television acquires a third-party asset file in a third-party format according to a link address sent by the server, the first controller may acquire different corresponding display contents of different request IDs based on one link address, where the different display contents constitute the third-party asset file. In some embodiments, the third-party data platform may be configured to issue 4 lines at a time in the cloud waterfall stream data issuing; it is understood that the 4 calls issued by the third party platform may be the same interface and include different request IDs. It can be understood that, for the platform supporting waterfall stream data, the instant request data only has one request ID, and the display contents corresponding to a plurality of request IDs may also be obtained, so as to adapt to the effective support of the user in the terminal user interface for the most downstream loading.
Fig. 9 is a logic diagram illustrating a display device converting a format of a third party asset file according to another embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, the first controller of the smart television receives interface information sent by the server, wherein the interface information includes a unique identifier of a third-party service provider and a link address, and the first controller uniformly obtains a third-party media asset file requested by each television application according to the link address in the interface information; and then the first controller controls the third-party media asset file to be converted from the third-party format into the recognizable format of the intelligent television, and controls the user interface to display the third-party media asset file in the recognizable format and the directly displayed media asset file acquired from the server.
Based on the scheme, each television application of the intelligent television does not need to pay attention to which third-party platform the data request comes from and whether each application supports the third-party media asset file of the third-party platform, and the analysis and calculation processes of all the third-party media asset files are processed by the first controller of the intelligent television, and can also be implemented by a specific API module, so that the third-party data can be processed into a uniform format, and the workload of a service module is reduced.
In some embodiments, the smart television may follow the OTA version upgrade to update the capabilities of the whole television. When the third-party media asset file acquired by the first controller is simple data, the first controller can add an analysis rule based on the third-party format of the third-party media asset file to realize format conversion.
For example, inside the API module, a data format converter is implemented, and the data format converter can support two data formats, namely JSON and XML; by the data format converter, the analysis rule can be customized, and one data format can be converted into another customized data format.
For newly added third party interface information or a newly added target data format, format conversion can be realized only by adding a corresponding analysis rule, and the API module does not need to rewrite logic conversion codes. As shown in fig. 9, for raw data from the interface API1, the parser may format the raw data into different target formats 1 and 2 through different rules API1 rule 1 or API1 rule 2. Similarly, fig. 10 is a logic diagram illustrating that a display device according to another embodiment of the present application converts a format of a third party asset file, and for API1 raw data and API2 raw data from different interfaces, a parser may format raw data in different formats into the same target format 1 through the same parsing rule API1 rule 1 or API2 rule 1. It can be understood that the flexibility of implementing the format conversion scheme by adding the conversion logic code is strong, and only a configuration file needs to be added when an interface is added.
In some embodiments, when the third party asset file acquired by the first controller is complex data, the first controller may add conversion logic codes based on the third party format of the third party asset file to implement format conversion. The scheme adopts a hard coding mode, and new conversion logic codes are added every time an interface API module is added. It can be understood that the technical scheme can process various data formats and add individualized processing logic.
In some embodiments, the two schemes may be used in combination for the two data formatting approaches described earlier in this application. For example, for some simple data format conversions, a parser is used for processing; for complex data format processing, an encoding mode is used for processing, for example, pictures with different proportions need to be selected according to different platforms.
