With the development of intelligent terminal products and the improvement of the living standard of families, more families have a plurality of household intelligent terminal devices, and the terminal devices can communicate with each other and can also communicate with terminal devices outside a scene based on a wide area network. The screen throwing can be realized when different terminal devices communicate, for example, video playing service on the intelligent television can be relayed to a display screen of the refrigerator, and video playing service on the display screen of the refrigerator can also be relayed to the intelligent television. However, the existing screen-throwing function can only realize the cross-terminal control function of video, and cannot realize control except video service, so the content service relay function is generated.

The display 260 may be at least one of a liquid crystal display, an OLED display, a touch display, and a projection display, and may also be a projection device and a projection screen. The modem 210 receives broadcast television signals through a wired or wireless reception manner, and demodulates audio and video signals, such as EPG data signals, from a plurality of wireless or wired broadcast television signals. The detector 230 is used to collect signals of the external environment or interaction with the outside. The controller 250 and the modem 210 may be located in separate devices, i.e., the modem 210 may also be located in an external device to the main device in which the controller 250 is located, such as an external set-top box.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 controls the operation of the display device and responds to user operations through various software control programs stored on the memory. The controller 250 controls the overall operation of the display apparatus 200. The user may input a user command through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) displayed on the display 260, and the user input interface receives the user input command through the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Alternatively, the user may input the user command by inputting a specific sound or gesture, and the user input interface recognizes the sound or gesture through the sensor to receive the user input command.

In some embodiments, a "user interface" is a media interface for interaction and exchange of information between an application or operating system and a user that enables conversion between an internal form of information and a form acceptable to the user. A commonly used presentation form of the user interface is a graphical user interface (Graphic User Interface, GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations that is displayed in a graphical manner. It may be an interface element such as an icon, a window, a control, etc. displayed in a display screen of the electronic device, where the control may include at least one of a visual interface element such as an icon, a button, a menu, a tab, a text box, a dialog box, a status bar, a navigation bar, a Widget, etc.

Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a software configuration in the display device 200 of some embodiments. As shown in fig. 4, the system is divided into four layers, namely, an application (Applications) layer (abbreviated as "application layer"), an application framework (Application Framework) layer (abbreviated as "framework layer"), a An Zhuoyun row (Android run) layer and a system library layer (abbreviated as "system runtime layer"), and a kernel layer from top to bottom. The kernel layer contains at least one of the following drivers: audio drive, display drive, bluetooth drive, camera drive, WIFI drive, USB drive, HDMI drive, sensor drive (e.g., fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), and power supply drive, etc.

In some embodiments, the common relay component and the at least one content application are configured in an operating system of the terminal device. The content application refers to an application program that can provide content or present content, such as a camera application, a picture resource application, a picture viewing application, a video call application, a video play application, an audio call application, an audio resource application, a map application, a reading application, and the like. The content includes pictures, audio (including call audio, audio files, and live audio streams), video (including call video, video files, live video streams), text, geographic location information, navigation information, and the like. The content presentation includes displaying pictures, geographical location information or navigation information and text, playing video files, video call pictures and live broadcasting room pictures, playing audio files, call sounds and live broadcasting room sounds, etc. The public relay assembly is used for pushing the content presented by any one content application to the external terminal equipment so as to continuously broadcast on the external terminal equipment; and the content playing device is also used for receiving the content pushed by the public relay component on the external terminal equipment and the playing information thereof and continuously playing the content through the content with the capability of playing the content.

In some embodiments, any one of the content applications may push content to other terminal devices that may establish a communication connection through a common relay component, thereby eliminating the need to configure push content functionality on each of the content applications. Any content application can receive the pushing of other terminal equipment to certain content through the public relay assembly so as to connect the capabilities of the content, and therefore the function of receiving the pushing of the content does not need to be configured on each content application. In the content pushing, receiving and continuing process, the common relay module on the terminal device (pushing end device) initiating the relay is responsible for communicating with the common relay module on the terminal device (receiving end device) performing the relay so as to complete the content pushing, receiving and continuing process.

For convenience of description, the procedure of pushing, receiving and capability connection of the content, which is cooperatively performed by the pushing end device and the receiving end device, will be referred to as a relay procedure. The pushing end device is the terminal device which initiates the content pushing, and the receiving end device is the terminal device which receives the content and relays the pushing end device to continue playing the content even though the content is pushed to the target. Based on the data flow direction, the relationship between the pushing end device and the receiving end device may be described as that the pushing end device pushes a certain content to the receiving end device, and the receiving end device plays the content pushed by the pushing end device in a relay manner. It should be understood that, the terminal device according to the present application may be at least used as a receiving end device to relay and play the content pushed by other terminal devices, such as the smart speaker device to relay and play the song pushed by the mobile phone. The terminal equipment can be used as receiving end equipment and pushing content outwards, for example, a mobile phone pushes current songs to an intelligent sound box for continuous playing, and the mobile phone receives video programs pushed by an intelligent television for continuous playing.

In some embodiments, the capability continuation includes, but is not limited to, at least one of an alarm setting, an image quality parameter setting, a file co-viewing, etc. of a continuation of the media asset (e.g., video continuation, audio continuation, etc.).

Fig. 5 illustrates a software configuration block diagram of a common relay assembly in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 5, the common relay assembly includes an interaction hub module, a status management module, an interface display module, a protocol processing module, and a logic control module.

The interaction center module is used for carrying out interaction on the content application on the local terminal equipment. The interaction center module is internally provided with an SDK (software development kit) for calling each application program, and each application program interacts with the interaction center module by calling the SDK. For example, when a user triggers an operation for transferring the current content to a designated terminal device for playback in the content application, the content application notifies the interactive hub module to send by calling the aforementioned SDK so that the public relay component responds to the operation of the user. For another example, the interaction center module feeds back various status information in the content pushing process to the corresponding content application program.

The state management module is used for managing various state information generated in the process of interacting with other terminal equipment, such as state information representing success or failure of pushing, state information representing abnormal conditions, various notification messages and the like. The management includes, but is not limited to, classification information, discrimination information to make a corresponding process according to the discrimination result, information forwarding, and the like.

And the interface display module is used for displaying interface elements related to the relay flow, such as window objects, tabs, state information prompt boxes and various operable buttons in the user interface.

And the protocol processing module is used for selecting a protocol channel through which the terminal equipment interacts with other terminal equipment according to a preset rule, for example, selecting one of a local area network protocol channel and a wide area network protocol channel, so that the terminal equipment interacts information with other terminal equipment through the channel selected by the protocol processing module.

And the logic processing module is used for executing various logic controls involved in the relay flow, such as logic control under a certain working mode and logic control under the condition of multi-equipment interaction.

In some embodiments, the individual functional modules of the common relay component are deployed at the application layer. In other embodiments, the various functional modules of the common relay component may be deployed across layers, e.g., the interactive hub module and the interface presentation module may be deployed at the application layer, while other modules are deployed at other layers. The present application is not limited thereto. It should be noted that, to implement the content relay function, the common relay component may include more or fewer modules, and is not limited to the software composition and architecture shown in fig. 5. Based on the functions of the public relay assembly according to the embodiment of the application, other components and architectures are designed to belong to the protection scope of the application.

Fig. 6 illustrates a frame diagram of a terminal device content service relay system in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 6, the terminal devices may transfer data through a server, or may directly transmit and receive data between the terminal devices. When the terminal equipment presents a certain content, the relevant information of the content can be pushed to the terminal equipment appointed by the user in response to the control of the user, so that the terminal equipment appointed by the user can continue playing the content according to the relevant information of the content. All terminal devices can be used as pushing terminal devices, namely terminal devices initiating relay, so that the content which is being presented by the terminal devices can be sent to other terminal devices. The terminal device can also be used as a receiving terminal device, namely a terminal device for relay, and can receive the content being presented by other terminal devices. The terminal device can realize the functions through the built-in public relay assembly. The server of the embodiment of the application can be an AIOT (Artificial Intelligence & Internet of Things, artificial intelligence Internet of things) server.

It should be noted that the pushing device and the receiving device may be display devices having both an image display function and an audio output function, such as a television, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a refrigerator smart screen, or devices having only an audio output function but not an image display function, such as a speaker device and a radio. Therefore, the pushing terminal device can push the presented picture content to other terminal devices, and push the audio content, the text content and the like to other terminal devices.

In some embodiments, after the user controls the terminal device to power on, the terminal device may display a user interface. The user interface may be a specific target image, for example, various media materials obtained from a network signal source, including video, pictures and the like. The user interface may also be some UI interface of the terminal device, such as a system recommendation page or the like.

The terminal device may have various functions such as browsing web pages, playing media assets, entertainment games, video chat, etc., thereby providing a variety of services to the user. For example, the user may control the terminal device to play various media assets.

The user can control the terminal device, and by opening a certain application program installed in the terminal device, the user can control the terminal device to realize related functions, for example, the user can control the terminal device to start a player application program. After the player application is started, the terminal device can enable the media asset recommendation page provided by the player application to be displayed in the display. FIG. 7 is a diagram that illustrates a media asset recommendation page in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 7, the media asset recommendation page may include a plurality of video category entry options, where each entry option represents a media asset type, such as "select", "movie", "drama", and "variety" entry options, and the user may click on any entry option to trigger the terminal device to display a corresponding entry interface. For example, clicking on the "movie" portal option triggers the display device to display a "movie" portal interface that includes a plurality of network media asset options, such as "movie A", "movie B", and "movie C", etc. The user may select one of the assets to view.

In the embodiment of the application, the media assets selected by the user are called target media assets, and the user can input a target media asset playing instruction for indicating to play the target media assets to the terminal equipment. In response to the target media asset playing instruction, the controller may control the display to display the target media asset. The controller may obtain media asset data, including video data and audio data, for the target media asset. The controller can control the display to display video data, and simultaneously control the audio equipment of the terminal equipment, which can be built-in audio equipment such as a loudspeaker or external audio equipment such as a sound box to play audio data.

In some embodiments, the user may have a need to relay the target media asset. For example, the user is currently controlling the terminal devices in room a to play the target asset, at which point the user may need to travel to room B and want to control the terminal devices in room B to play the target asset in a relay. Therefore, the user can control the terminal equipment in the room A to transfer the target media asset to the terminal equipment in the room B for relay playing.

In the embodiment of the present application, for the terminal device (push end device) that initiates the relay, the source device is also referred to as the source device. For a terminal device (receiving end device) capable of relaying, the embodiment of the present application is called a relay device.

Fig. 8 is an interactive flow chart of a relay process performed by a terminal device in some embodiments, including the following steps:

s101, responding to a target media asset playing instruction, and controlling a display to display target media assets;

s102, responding to a relay playing instruction, and acquiring a first equipment identifier of terminal equipment and target relay capability information corresponding to a current service;

s103, generating a relay equipment acquisition request based on the first equipment identifier and the target relay capability information, and sending the relay equipment acquisition request to a server;

s104, receiving a relay equipment list sent by the server and controlling a display to display the relay equipment list, wherein the relay equipment list comprises at least one relay equipment;

s105, responding to the selected operation of the user on the target relay equipment, and acquiring media information playing information of target media and a first media license plate;

s106, generating relay playing information based on the media playing information and the first media license plate, and sending the relay playing information to the target relay equipment so that the target relay equipment can relay and play the target media based on the relay playing information.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may play the user-specified target media asset. For example, after the internal controller of the terminal device as the source device responds to the target media asset playing instruction of the user, the internal controller can control the display to display the target media asset.

In some embodiments, the user may control the source device to display the relay device capable of relaying, and after the user selects a certain target relay device, the source device may instruct the target relay device to relay and play the target media asset.

In some embodiments, the user may send a relay play instruction indicating to initiate a relay procedure to the source device, for controlling other terminal devices to relay play the target media asset.

In order to instruct other terminal devices to perform relay, a relay mode may be set for a pushing end device that initiates the relay, that is, a source device. After the terminal equipment enters the relay mode, other equipment can be indicated as source equipment to relay and play the target media. It should be noted that, after the terminal device enters the relay mode, the terminal device may also be used as a receiving end device for performing the relay, that is, the relay device, and relay play other media resources indicating the relay by the source device. When the user sends a relay play instruction to the terminal device, the terminal device can enter a relay mode.

In some embodiments, the user may send the relay play instruction to the display device by operating a designated key of the remote control. The corresponding relation between the relay playing instruction and the remote controller key is bound in advance in the actual application process. For example, a relay mode key is set on the remote controller, when the user touches the key, the remote controller sends a relay playing command to the controller 250, and the controller 250 controls the display device to enter the relay mode. When the user touches the key again, the controller 250 may control the display device to exit the relay mode.

In some embodiments, the user may send a relay play instruction to the display device by way of voice input using a sound collector of the display device, such as a microphone, to control the display device to enter a relay mode. The display device can be provided with an intelligent voice system, and the intelligent voice system can recognize the voice of the user so as to extract instruction content input by the user.

In some embodiments, the relay play instruction may also be sent to the display device when the user controls the display device using the smart device, such as using a cell phone. In the practical application process, a control can be set in the mobile phone, and whether to enter the relay mode can be selected through the control, so that a relay playing instruction is sent to the controller 250, and the controller 250 can control the display equipment to enter the relay mode.

The relay mode option can also be set in the UI interface of the display device, and when the user clicks the option, the display device can be controlled to enter or exit the relay mode.

In some embodiments, to prevent the user from triggering the relay mode by mistake, when the controller 250 receives the relay playing command, the display 260 may be controlled to display the relay mode confirmation information, so that the user performs a secondary confirmation as to whether to control the display device to enter the relay mode. Fig. 9 illustrates a schematic diagram of relay mode acknowledgement information in some embodiments.

In some embodiments, in the process of playing the target media asset by the terminal device, the user controls to call out the control area through a certain operation or a combination of a plurality of operations. And the control area is used for intensively displaying the user-operable controls, including relay button controls, and the user triggers the terminal equipment to execute corresponding operations by operating a certain control.

FIG. 10 illustrates a schematic diagram of a control region in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 10, the terminal device is playing the target media asset, and the user can control the terminal device to call out the control area to control the playing process of the target media asset. The control area comprises at least one of a relay control, a play list control, a definition control and a recommending function control. The user can trigger the pushing end device to execute corresponding operation by operating a control. For example, when the user selects the "playlist" control, the pusher-side device will display the selection list. The user can input a relay playing instruction by operating the relay control, and the terminal equipment can enter a relay mode. At this time, the current terminal device is used as a source device, and the target media resource which is currently played can be pushed to other terminal devices for relay playing.

In some embodiments, in response to a user's relay play instruction, the terminal device may obtain other terminal devices that may perform the relay, so that the user may select the device to perform the relay process.

The controller may first obtain the device identifier of the terminal device, in this embodiment of the present application, the device identifier of the source device is referred to as a first device identifier, and the controller may also obtain the target relay capability information corresponding to the current service of the terminal device.

The device identification may be used to uniquely identify the terminal device, thereby distinguishing between different terminal devices. Considering that a user can set the device names of the terminal devices by himself, there may be a case that a plurality of terminal devices have the same device name, so in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal devices are not distinguished by the device names, but the device identifier corresponding to each terminal device is generated.

The controller may acquire device information of the terminal device when generating the device identification, the device information may include a device ID of the terminal device, for example, a DeviceID, and may further include a physical address of the terminal device, for example, a MAC address. It should be noted that their DeviceID should be different for different terminal devices, and the MAC address should be different. In consideration of the fact that a technician may mislabel certain device information of two terminal devices when the terminal devices leave the factory, the controller can generate the device identification of the terminal devices based on the device ID and the physical address of the terminal devices to serve as the unique identification of the terminal devices.

The controller can splice the equipment ID and the physical address of the terminal equipment, and the obtained spliced character string is the equipment identifier of the terminal equipment.

The terminal device may have a plurality of functions, each of which may correspond to an application scenario, also referred to as a service, such as a service of playing video, playing audio, playing a game, a web page, etc. Different services correspond to different applications, which may correspond to different relay capabilities. In the embodiment of the present application, the relay capability may refer to a capability of executing an operation corresponding to application data of an application program in succession. When content is being presented in the terminal device, the relay capability refers to the capability of an application program to sequentially present the content, such as the type of the content that can be presented, the presentation mode, and the like. Taking a player application as an example, the content presentation capability may be the capability of playing a video file, including various parameters of a playable video file, and the like. When receiving a request of pushing content from a source device, the receiving device continues to play the content through an application program with relay capability conforming to the content. For example, if the relay content is a video, the receiving end device needs to continue playing the video through the video playing application thereon; if the relay content is text, the receiving device may continue to display the text via a text application (e.g., notepad) thereon.

In some embodiments, the relay capability may have different levels, such as primary capability, secondary capability. From the practical functional considerations of the content application, the actual relay capability of the content application may be described by a single level of relay capability or a combination of levels of capabilities. It should be appreciated that the relay capabilities of each application may be customized according to its actual functionality. The data form and the data content of the capacity are not limited in the embodiment of the application. However, it should be noted that the relay capability applied to the terminal device determines what content can be played by the terminal device in a relay manner. That is, the relay capability applied at the terminal device determines the capability of the terminal device to relay other device content. For example, when an application for relaying a certain content is not available on a certain terminal device, the terminal device cannot relay the content, and thus cannot become a relay device for the content. Therefore, when the source device instructs to play the video in a relay manner, the terminal device corresponding to the application program provided with the video playing function can be used as the relay device. When the source device instructs to relay the display text, the terminal device corresponding to the application program having the display text may be used as the relay device.

Therefore, the controller may acquire the relay capability corresponding to the current service of the terminal device, which is referred to as the target relay capability in the embodiment of the present application, for example, the video relay capability, the audio relay capability, and the like, and the controller may generate the target relay capability information.

In some embodiments, the controller may generate the relay device acquisition request based on the first device identification and the target relay capability information. The relay device acquisition request is used for acquiring other terminal devices supporting the target relay capability information, and the controller may send the relay device acquisition request to the server.

After receiving the relay equipment acquisition request, the server can screen out other terminal equipment with target relay capability information, and can also determine the current source equipment according to the first equipment identifier, so that the terminal equipment server which acquires the source equipment and can instruct relay can perform intersection according to the two terminal equipment, and terminal equipment meeting the requirement of the relay source, namely the relay equipment corresponding to the source equipment, can be obtained. The server may generate a list of relay devices and send to the source device to enable the user to select a target relay device.

In some embodiments, the server may pre-count the situations of all terminal devices, for example, the relay capability supported by the terminal device, the device identifier, etc., so that when a certain terminal device sends a relay device acquisition request, the server may directly screen out the corresponding relay device.

All terminal devices can be bound with the server. After the terminal equipment is started, the relevant information of the terminal equipment can be directly sent to the server so that the server can count.

When the terminal equipment is started, the controller can directly acquire the equipment identification of the terminal equipment, and the equipment identification of each terminal equipment can be used as the unique identification of the terminal equipment in the server because the equipment identification of each terminal equipment has uniqueness. The terminal device may send the device identification to the server based on a preset period, i.e. send the device identification to the server every time the preset period elapses. The server may also determine the status of the terminal device according to a preset period. In each preset period, if the server receives the device identifier, the terminal device may be marked as an online device. And if the server does not receive the equipment identification in the preset period, marking the terminal equipment as off-line equipment.

The controller may also generate a request packet based on the wide area network IP address and the device identification to log in to the server itself. The server may parse the request packet to determine a device identification of the terminal device and identify the device as online. If the server still does not receive the request data packet beyond the preset period, the device is identified as being in an offline state. The request packet may be a heartbeat packet, which is a communication packet for informing the local state of the other party between the terminal device and the server at fixed time. For example, the terminal device in the above embodiment sends the heartbeat packet to the server through the wan protocol channel at regular time, so that the server determines the online state of the wan of the terminal device according to the heartbeat packet.

In some embodiments, considering equipment security, to avoid that terminal equipment is randomly instructed by other equipment to relay, the terminal equipment can be associated, so that the relay process can be instructed by the associated terminal equipment. The user can log in the user account in the terminal equipment, and the server can correlate the terminal equipment according to the user account information of the terminal equipment.

After the terminal equipment is started, the controller can count the user account information and send the user account information to the server. The server may count the user account information of all the terminal devices, and associate the terminal devices with the same user account, which may be associating the device identifiers of all the terminal devices under the same user account. After receiving the relay equipment acquisition request of the source equipment, the server can analyze the first equipment identification of the terminal equipment, and screen out other terminal equipment corresponding to the equipment identification of the first equipment identification, and the other terminal equipment can be used as the terminal equipment of the source equipment for indicating relay.

The controller may also count the relay capability information of the terminal device, including all the relay capability conditions of the terminal device. The common relay module can scan the relay capability of each application program in the terminal equipment, thereby generating relay capability information. The controller may send relay capability information to the server. After receiving the relay equipment acquisition request of the source equipment, the server can screen out the terminal equipment with the target relay capability information according to the relay capability information of the terminal equipment.

Therefore, the server can screen out the terminal device which can indicate the relay and has the target relay capability information as the relay device of the source device.

In some embodiments, the user may also query the terminal device for other terminal device conditions that may be relayed. The controller may send a device acquisition request to the server, and the server may count other terminal devices associated with the current terminal device, that is, all terminal devices under the user account. The server can also acquire the online condition of each terminal device and send all devices under the user account and the online condition to the current terminal device. The controller may control the display to display the terminal device condition. Fig. 11 illustrates a schematic diagram of a terminal device case interface in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 11, the terminal device case interface includes all terminal devices under the user account and the online case of each terminal device.

In some embodiments, the user may also query the terminal device for the current online terminal device condition, and may send an online device acquisition request carrying the first device identifier to the server. The server may parse the first device identifier, count the online devices associated with the first device identifier, and may also obtain a device identifier of each online device. The server may generate a list of online devices including a second device identification for each online device. The server may send the list of online devices to the current terminal device. The terminal device may display the status of the online device.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may also turn on other terminal device status notification functions. The terminal device may send a presence notification request to the server, and the server may monitor the presence of other terminal devices. When detecting that there is a change of the terminal device from the online state to the offline state, or from the offline state to the online state, the server may notify the current terminal device. At this time, the terminal device may resend the online device acquisition request to the server to update the situation of the online device.

In some embodiments, after determining the online device, the controller may further generate a broadcast packet, where the broadcast packet carries a local area network address of the active device, that is, a local area network IP address, and a first device identifier, where the first device identifier is used to enable a terminal device in the local area network to feed back the reply message. The controller may send the broadcast packet to the lan, where other terminal devices in the lan may obtain the broadcast packet.

For other terminal devices in the local area network, the broadcast packet of the source device may be acquired. The terminal devices may parse the broadcast packet to obtain a local area network IP address and a first device identification. Meanwhile, the terminal devices can acquire their own device identifiers, which are called third device identifiers in the embodiment of the present application. The terminal device may generate reply information according to the third device identifier, and may feed back the reply information to the source device based on the local area network IP address. In the embodiment of the application, other terminal devices in the local area network are called reply devices, and the source device can receive reply information fed back by all the reply devices in the local area network and can respectively analyze the reply information to obtain a third device identifier corresponding to each reply device.

The source device may determine whether the reply devices are online devices. The source device may compare the third device identification with the second device identification of the online device. If a third device identifier is the same as a second device identifier, the reply device corresponding to the third device identifier can be determined to be an online device, and the source device can determine the reply device to be a local area network device. Based on this, each terminal device can determine its own corresponding local area network device.

In some embodiments, after the source device sends the relay device acquisition request to the server, the server may feed back a relay device list, which includes a number of relay devices. The controller may control the display to display a list of relay devices. Fig. 12 illustrates a schematic diagram of a relay device list in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 12, the target media is played in the display, and the relay device list includes terminal devices A, B, C, D, which can be used as relay devices. The display may also display some additional user guidance options and guidance information. For example, the user may operate "? The control triggers and enters a relay function introduction page which is at least used for displaying introduction information of a relay function, such as a relay operation mode. In addition, the guiding information of 'pressing the confirmation key force and pressing the menu key adjustment sequence' can be displayed, the guiding information is used for reminding a user, the relay process can be triggered by operating the confirmation key on the remote controller under the condition that a certain equipment option is selected, and the display sequence of the equipment options in the relay terminal equipment list can be adjusted by operating the menu key on the remote controller. And a switch button for 'continuing playing of original equipment' is also displayed, and when the switch button is operated by a user to be turned on, the public relay assembly continues to play the content after pushing the content to the relay equipment. When the user operates to close the switch button, the public relay component can exit the content application on the home terminal device to end playing the content after pushing the content onto the relay device. Or when the user operates to close the switch button, if the relay of the relay equipment fails, the user can continue playing the content or end playing the content by selecting to play the content on the local equipment.

In some embodiments, the user may select a relay device in the relay device list to relay to play the target media asset, which is referred to as a target relay device in the embodiments of the present application. In response to a user's selection of a target relay device, the controller may obtain media asset playing information of a target media asset and a first media asset license plate.

The media asset playing information can comprise the media asset name and the media asset playing progress of the target media asset, and the media asset playing progress can comprise the current playing selection condition and the playing time length information of the target media asset.

The license plate of the media resource refers to license plate information corresponding to a film source of the target media resource, and is used for representing a media resource provider, for example, the name of the media resource provider. Each terminal device is typically provided with a fixed license plate, so that the license plate corresponding to the terminal device can be obtained from the system configuration of the terminal device.

The controller can generate relay play information based on the media play information and the first media license plate and send the relay play information to the target relay device to instruct the target relay device to relay play the target media.

Before sending the relay play information, the controller may detect whether the target relay device is a local area network device of the source device. If yes, the relay playing information can be directly sent to the target relay equipment based on the local area network channel, and if not, the relay playing information can be sent to the server first and then sent to the target relay equipment by the server.

In some embodiments, for the target relay device, after receiving the relay playing information sent by the source device, the relay playing information may be parsed to obtain the media playing information and the first media license plate.

Considering that the license plate of the target relay device may be different from the first license plate of the source device, the target license cannot be directly played. Therefore, the target relay equipment can firstly acquire the media resource license plate information supporting playing of the target relay equipment, and the controller can inquire the media resource license plate information in the system configuration of the target relay equipment.

If the media resource license information contains the first media resource license, it indicates that the media resource license corresponding to the target relay device and the source device are the same, and the target media resource can be directly played. At this time, the controller may acquire an application program supporting the license plate of the first media asset, which is referred to as a first application program in the embodiment of the present application, and may control the first application program to play the target media asset in a relay manner based on the media asset playing progress. The first application program can search the target media asset according to the media asset name of the target media asset, and can determine the current selection condition and the playing time length of the target media asset according to the media asset playing progress, so that the target media asset can be played in a relay mode.

After the target relay equipment plays the target media resource in a relay way, a relay success prompt message can be sent to the source equipment. After receiving the relay success prompt message, the source equipment can stop playing the target media asset.

If the first license plate is not contained in the license plate information, the target relay equipment and the source equipment are indicated to be different in corresponding license plates, and at the moment, the target license cannot be directly played. The target relay device can generate a target media resource acquisition request, wherein the target media resource acquisition request carries media resource license plate information and media resource names. The target relay device can send the target media resource acquisition request to the server, and the server can inquire about related media resource conditions, generate feedback information and send the feedback information to the target relay device. The target equipment can relay and play the target media according to the feedback information sent by the server.

In some embodiments, the server may search for the target asset-related resource after receiving the target asset acquisition request sent by the target relay device. Because the media resource license information of the target relay device does not contain the first media resource license, the target relay device cannot play various media resource corresponding to the first media resource license, and at this time, the server can acquire media resources which can be played by the target relay device, namely media resource corresponding to the media resource license information.

The server can analyze the target media resource acquisition request to obtain the media resource license plate information and the media resource name. The server can search all the media resource corresponding to the media resource name according to the media resource name, and check whether the media resource corresponding to the media resource license plate information exists. When the target medium resource is provided by a medium resource provider exclusively, the target medium resource corresponds to only one medium resource license plate. When the target asset is not provided exclusively, the target asset corresponds to a plurality of asset license plates. The server can acquire the media resource corresponding to the media license plate which can be played by the target relay equipment.

In some embodiments, the server may generate the asset resource information if the target asset corresponding to the asset license plate information is searched. The media resource information may be a terminal play string, where the terminal play string carries a media license plate and a media play content information string, where the media play content information string includes details of the media play, such as a skip and play link. The server may send the asset information to the target relay device.

The target relay device can analyze the media resource information to obtain the media playing address and the second media license plate.

The controller can acquire a second application program supporting the second media asset license plate and control the second application program to relay play the target media asset based on the media asset play address and the media asset play progress. The second application program can acquire the media asset data of the target media asset according to the media asset playing address, and can play the target media asset according to the media asset playing progress.

After the target media asset is successfully played, the target relay equipment can send relay success prompt information to the source equipment.

In some embodiments, if the target media asset corresponding to the media asset license plate information is not searched, for example, the target media asset is provided for a certain media asset provider alone, and the server cannot provide the target media asset to the target relay device, the server may generate search failure information and send the search failure information to the target relay device.

After receiving the search failure information, the target relay equipment cannot acquire a playable target media resource in the network, and can request the target media resource from the relay source. The target relay device may send a media asset acquisition request to the source device.

After receiving the media asset acquisition request sent by the target relay device, the source device can provide playing data of the target media asset for the target relay device. The source device may continue to play the target asset first.

The source device may detect whether the target relay device is a local area network device. If yes, the media data of the target media can be cached. The source device can send the cached media data to the target relay device based on the local area network channel so as to be played by the target relay device. If not, the source device can stop the relay process and inform the user of the relay failure in consideration of the playing fluency of the target media asset.

After receiving the media asset data, the target relay device can control the third application program to play the media asset data. Because the media data is the data cached by the source equipment and is not influenced by the media license plate, the media data can be directly played. The third application may be a system player of the target relay device.

In some embodiments, the source device may affect the user's use experience if the source device's display continues to display the target asset, taking into account that the user may have a need to control the source device as the source device continues to play the target asset. Thus, the controller may detect whether the system of source devices is configured with multiple presentation windows.

If the source equipment is configured with multiple windows, the controller can move the playing window of the target media asset to other windows outside the current display window of the display for display and set the player to mute. At this time, the user cannot see the target media asset.

If the multi-window configuration does not exist, the controller sets the target media asset to be displayed in a floating window mode and is placed in a certain area of the current window, for example, the lower right corner position is displayed, and therefore the influence of the target media asset on a user is small.

In some embodiments, the source device may also send the asset data to the server first, and then the server sends the asset data to the target relay device.

In some embodiments, when the relay is successful, both the source device and the target relay device may display relay success information. Fig. 13 illustrates a relay scenario diagram in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 13, the source device is a bedroom television, and the target relay device is a second floor living room television. The target relay device can display a prompt message with the content of 'played by the relay bedroom television', and the source device can display a prompt message with the content of 'played by the second-floor living room television'.

In some embodiments, a prompt message may also be displayed when the target relay device determines that relay is available. During the display of the alert message or within a preset time, the user may cancel the relay by some action. And if a cancel command input by a user is received during the display of the prompt message or in a preset time, executing the step of canceling the relay. And if the target relay equipment starts playing the target media asset when receiving the input cancellation command, ending playing.

Fig. 14 illustrates a schematic diagram of a target relay device displaying relay cues in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 14, a prompt message with a content of "about to relay bedroom television content play, stop by pressing any key, relay immediately by pressing the confirm key" is displayed on the user interface, and a visual prompt "5" of countdown progress is displayed on one side of the prompt message.
