FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an architecture of a Web OS device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.
8 is a block diagram based on the runtime of the Web OS device, which can be understood with reference to the layered structure of FIG.
The following description will be made with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG.
Referring to FIG. 8, services and applications and WebOS core modules are included on the system OS (Linux) and system libraries, and communication between them can be done via the Luna-Service bus.
E-mail, contact, calendar, etc. Node.js services based on HTML5, CSS, java script, logging, backup, file notify notify, database (DB), activity manager, system policy, audio daemon (AudioD), update, media server, TV services such as Electronic Program Guide (PVD), Personal Video Recorder (PVR), data broadcasting, voice recognition, Now on, Notification, search, , CP services such as Auto Content Recognition (ACR), Contents List Browser (CBOX), wfdd, DMR, Remote Application, download, Sony Philips Digital Interface Format (SDPIF), PDK applications, , QML applications, etc. And the enyo framework based on the TV UI-related applications and web applications, Luna - made the process via the Web OS core modules, such as the aforementioned SAM, WAM, LSM via the service bus. Meanwhile, in the above, TV applications and web applications may not necessarily be UI-based or UI-related.
CBOX can manage the list and metadata of external device contents such as USB, DLNA, cloud etc. connected to TV. Meanwhile, the CBOX can output a content listing of various content containers such as a USB, a DMS, a DVR, a cloud, etc. to an integrated view. In addition, CBOX can display various types of content listings such as pictures, music, video, and manage the metadata. In addition, the CBOX can output the contents of the attached storage in real-time. For example, when a storage device such as a USB is plugged in, the CBOX must be able to immediately output the content list of the storage device. At this time, a standardized method for processing the content listing may be defined. In addition, CBOX can accommodate various connection protocols.
The SAM is intended to improve module complexity and scalability. For example, the existing system manager processes various functions such as system UI, window management, web application runtime, and UX constraint processing in one process to separate the main functions to solve the large implementation complexity, Clarify the implementation interface by clarifying the interface.
LSM supports independent development and integration of system UX implementations such as card view, launcher, etc., and supports easy modification of product requirements. LSM can make multi-tasking possible by utilizing hardware resources (HW resources) when synthesizing a plurality of application screens such as an application in-app, A window management mechanism can be provided.
LSM supports implementation of system UI based on QML and improves its development productivity. Based on MVC, QML UX can easily construct views for layouts and UI components, and can easily develop code for handling user input. On the other hand, the interface between the QML and the Web OS component is via the QML extension plug-in, and the graphic operation of the application can be based on the wayland protocol, luna-service call, etc. have.
LSM is an abbreviation of Luna Surface Manager, as described above, which functions as an Application Window Compositor.
LSM synthesizes independently generated applications, UI components, etc. on the screen and outputs them. In this regard, when components such as recents applications, showcase applications, launcher applications, etc. render their own contents, the LSM defines the output area, interworking method, etc. as a compositor. In other words, the compositor LSM handles graphics synthesis, focus management, and input events. At this time, the LSM receives an event, focus, etc. from an input manager. Such an input manager may include a HID such as a remote controller, a mouse & keyboard, a joystick, a game pad, an application remote, and a pen touch.
As such, LSM supports multiple window models, which can be performed simultaneously in all applications due to the nature of the system UI. In this regard, it is also possible to provide various functions such as launcher, resent, setting, notification, system keyboard, volume UI, search, finger gesture, Voice Recognition (STT (Sound to Text), TTS LSM can support a pattern gesture (camera, mobile radio control unit (MRCU), live menu, ACR (Auto Content Recognition), etc.) .

FIG. 10 is a view for explaining a media server according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 11 is a view for explaining a configuration block diagram of a media server according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 Is a diagram illustrating a relationship between a media server and a TV service according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The media server supports the execution of various multimedia in the digital device and manages the necessary resources. The media server can efficiently use hardware resources required for media play. For example, the media server requires an audio / video hardware resource for multimedia execution and can efficiently utilize the resource usage status by managing it. In general, a fixed device having a larger screen than a mobile device needs more hardware resources to execute multimedia, and a large amount of data must be encoded / decoded and transmitted at a high speed. On the other hand, the media server is a task that performs broadcasting, recording and tuning tasks in addition to streaming and file-based playback, recording simultaneously with viewing, and simultaneously displaying the sender and recipient screens in a video call And so on. However, the media server is limited in terms of hardware resources such as an encoder, a decoder, a tuner, and a display engine, and thus it is difficult to execute a plurality of tasks at the same time. For example, And processes it.
The media server may be robust in system stability because, for example, a pipeline in which an error occurs during media playback can be removed and restarted on a per-pipeline basis, Even if it does not affect other media play. Such a pipeline is a chain that links each unit function such as decoding, analysis, and output when a media reproduction request is made, and the necessary unit functions may be changed according to a media type and the like.
The media server may have extensibility, for example, adding new types of pipelines without affecting existing implementations. As an example, the media server may accommodate a camera pipeline, a video conference (Skype) pipeline, a third-party pipeline, and the like.
The media server can process general media playback and TV task execution as separate services because the interface of the TV service is different from the case of media playback. In the above description, the media server supports operations such as 'setchannel', 'channelup', 'channeldown', 'channeltuning', and 'recordstart' in relation to the TV service, ',' stop ', and so on, so that they can support different operations for both, and can be processed as separate services.
The media server can control or integrally manage the resource management function. The allocation and recall of hardware resources in the device are performed integrally in the media server. In particular, the TV service process transfers the running task and the resource allocation status to the media server. The media server obtains resources and executes the pipeline each time each media is executed, and permits execution by a priority (e.g., policy) of the media execution request, based on the resource status occupied by each pipeline, and And performs resource recall of other pipelines. Here, the predefined execution priority and necessary resource information for the specific request are managed by the policy manager, and the resource manager can communicate with the policy manager to process the resource allocation, the number of times, and the like.
The media server may have an identifier (ID) for all playback related operations. For example, the media server may issue a command to indicate a particular pipeline based on the identifier. The media server may separate the two into pipelines for playback of more than one media.
The media server may be responsible for playback of the
In addition, the media server may follow the TV restructuring scope of the TV pipeline as a separate service process. The media server can be designed regardless of the TV restructuring scope. If the TV is not a separate service process, it may be necessary to re-execute the entire TV when there is a problem with a specific task.
The media server is also referred to as uMS, i.e., a micro media server. Here, the media player is a media client, which is a media client, for example, a web page for an HTML5 video tag, a camera, a TV, a Skype, a second screen, It can mean a kit (Webkit).
In the media server, management of micro resources such as a resource manager, a policy manager, and the like is a core function. In this regard, the media server also controls the playback control role for the web standard media content. In this regard, the media server may also manage pipeline controller resources.
Such a media server supports, for example, extensibility, reliability, efficient resource usage, and the like.
In other words, the uMS or media server may be a web OS device, such as a resource, such as a cloud game, a MVPD (pay service), a camera preview, a second screen, a Skype, And manage and control the use of resources for proper processing in an overall manner so as to enable efficient use. On the other hand, each resource uses, for example, a pipeline in its use, and the media server can manage and control the generation, deletion, and use of a pipeline for resource management as a whole.
Here, the pipeline refers to, for example, when a media associated with a task starts a series of operations, such as parsing of a request, a decoding stream, and a video output, . For example, with respect to a TV service or an application, watching, recording, channel tuning, and the like are each individually handled under the control of resource utilization through a pipeline generated according to the request .
The processing structure and the like of the media server will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
10, an application or service is connected to a media server 1020 via a luna-to-service bus 1010, and the media server 1020 is connected to pipelines generated again via the luna- Connected and managed.
The application or service can have various clients depending on its characteristics and can exchange data with the media server 1020 or the pipeline through it.
The client includes, for example, a uMedia client (web kit) and a RM (resource manager) client (C / C ++) for connection with the media server 1020.
The application including the uMedia client is connected to the media server 1020, as described above. More specifically, the uMedia client corresponds to, for example, a video object to be described later, and the client uses the media server 1020 for the operation of video by a request or the like.
Here, the video operation relates to the video state, and the loading, unloading, play, playback, or reproduce, pause, stop, Data may be included. Each operation or state of such video can be processed through individual pipeline generation. Accordingly, the uMedia client sends the state data associated with the video operation to the pipeline manager 1022 in the media server.
The pipeline manager 1022 obtains information on resources of the current device through data communication with the
On the other hand, the pipeline manager 1022 requests the
The
In addition, the pipeline may include, for example, a service-based pipeline (its own pipeline) and a URI-based pipeline (media pipeline).
Referring to FIG. 10, an application or service including an RM client may not be directly connected to the media server 1020. This is because the application or service may directly process the media. In other words, if the application or service directly processes the media, it may not pass through the media server. However, at this time, uMS connectors need to manage resources for pipeline creation and use. Meanwhile, when receiving a resource management request for direct media processing of the application or service, the uMS connector communicates with the media server 1020 including the
Accordingly, the application or service can respond to the request of the RM client by receiving the resource management of the
On the other hand, the URI-based pipeline is performed through the media server 1020 instead of processing the media directly as in the RM client described above. Such URI-based pipelines may include a player factory, a G streamer, a streaming plug-in, a DRM (Digital Rights Management) plug-in pipeline, and the like.
On the other hand, the interface method between application and media services may be as follows.
It is a way to interface with a service in a web application. This is a way of using Luna Call using the Palm Service Bridge (PSB), or using Cordova, which extends the display to video tags. In addition, there may be a method using the HTML5 standard for video tags or media elements.
And, it is a method of interfacing with PDK using service.
Alternatively, it is a method of using the service in the existing CP. It can be used to extend existing platform plug-ins based on Luna for backward compatibility.
Finally, it is a way to interface in the case of non-web OS. In this case, you can interface directly by calling the Luna bus.
Seamless change is handled by a separate module (eg TVWIN), which is the process for displaying and streamlining the TV on the screen without Web OS, before or during WebOS boot . This is because the boot time of WebOS is delayed, so it is used to provide the basic function of the TV service first for quick response to the user's power on request. In addition, the module is part of the TV service process and supports quick boot and null change, which provides basic TV functions, and factory mode. In addition, the module may also switch from the Non-Web OS mode to the Web OS mode.
Referring to FIG. 11, a processing structure of a media server is shown.
11, the solid line box represents the process processing configuration, and the dashed box represents the internal processing module during the process. In addition, the solid line arrows represent inter-process calls, that is, Luna service calls, and the dotted arrows may represent notifications or data flows such as register / notify.
A service or a web application or a PDK application (hereinafter 'application') is connected to various service processing components via a luna-service bus, through which an application is operated or controlled.
The data processing path depends on the type of application. For example, when the application is image data related to the camera sensor, the image data is transmitted to the camera processing unit 1130 and processed. At this time, the camera processing unit 1130 processes image data of a received application including a gesture, a face detection module, and the like. Here, the camera processing unit 1130 can generate a pipeline through the media server processing unit 1110 and process the corresponding data if the user desires to use the pipeline or the like.
Alternatively, when the application includes audio data, the audio processing unit (AudioD) 1140 and the audio module (PulseAudio) 1150 can process the audio. For example, the
Alternatively, when the application includes or processes (includes) DRM-attached content, the DRM service processing unit 1170 transmits the content data to the DRM service processing unit 1160, and the DRM service processing unit 1170 generates a DRM instance And processes the DRM-enabled content data. Meanwhile, the DRM service processing unit 1160 may process the DRM pipeline in the media pipeline through the Luna-Service bus to process the DRM-applied content data.
Hereinafter, processing in the case where the application is media data or TV service data (e.g., broadcast data) will be described.
FIG. 12 shows only the media server processing unit and the TV service processing unit in FIG. 11 described above in more detail.
Therefore, the following description will be made with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. FIG.
First, when the application includes TV service data, it is processed in the TV service processing unit 1120/1220.
The TV service processing unit 1120 includes at least one of a DVR / channel manager, a broadcasting module, a TV pipeline manager, a TV resource manager, a data broadcasting module, an audio setting module, and a path manager. 12, the TV service processing unit 1220 includes a TV broadcast handler, a TV broadcast interface, a service processing unit, a TV middleware (TV MW (middleware)), a path manager, a BSP For example, NetCast). Here, the service processing unit may be a module including, for example, a TV pipeline manager, a TV resource manager, a TV policy manager, a USM connector, and the like.
In this specification, the TV service processing unit may have a configuration as shown in Fig. 11 or 12, or may be implemented by a combination of both, in which some configurations are omitted or some configurations not shown may be added.
The TV service processing unit 1120/1220 transmits the data to the DVR / channel manager in the case of DVR (Digital Video Recorder) or channel related data based on the attribute or type of the TV service data received from the application, To generate and process the TV pipeline. On the other hand, when the attribute or type of the TV service data is broadcast content data, the TV service processing unit 1120 generates and processes the TV pipeline through the TV pipeline manager for processing the corresponding data via the broadcasting module.
Alternatively, a json (JavaScript standard object notation) file or a file created in c is processed by a TV broadcast handler and transmitted to a TV pipeline manager through a TV broadcast interface to generate and process a TV pipeline. In this case, the TV broadcast interface unit may transmit the data or the file that has passed through the TV broadcast handler to the TV pipeline manager based on the TV service policy and refer to it when creating the pipeline.
On the other hand, the TV pipeline manager can be controlled by the TV resource manager in generating one or more pipelines according to a TV pipeline creation request from a processing module in a TV service, a manager, or the like. Meanwhile, the TV resource manager can be controlled by the TV policy manager to request the status and allocation of resources allocated for the TV service according to the TV pipeline creation request of the TV pipeline manager, and the media server processing unit 1110 / 1210) and uMS connectors. The resource manager in the media server processing unit 1110/1210 transmits the status of the current TV service, the allocation permission, etc. according to the request of the TV resource manager. For example, if a resource manager in the media server processing unit 1110/1210 confirms that all the resources for the TV service have already been allocated, the TV resource manager can notify that all the resources are currently allocated. At this time, the resource manager in the media server processing unit, together with the notify, removes a predetermined TV pipeline according to a priority or a predetermined criterion among the TV pipelines preliminarily allocated for the TV service, And may request or assign generation. Alternatively, the TV resource manager can appropriately remove, add, or control the TV pipeline in the TV resource manager according to the status report of the resource manager in the media server processing unit 1110/1210.
Meanwhile, the BSP supports, for example, backward compatibility with existing digital devices.
The TV pipelines thus generated can be appropriately operated according to the control of the path manager in the process. The path manager can determine and control the processing path or process of the pipelines by considering not only the TV pipeline but also the operation of the pipeline generated by the media server processing unit 1110/1210.
Next, when the application includes media data, rather than TV service data, it is processed by the media server processing unit 1110/1210. Here, the media server processing units 1110 and 1210 include a resource manager, a policy manager, a media pipeline manager, a media pipeline controller, and the like. On the other hand, the pipeline generated according to the control of the media pipeline manager and the media pipeline controller can be variously generated such as a camera preview pipeline, a cloud game pipeline, and a media pipeline. On the other hand, the media pipeline may include a streaming protocol, an auto / static gstreamer, and a DRM, which can be determined according to the control of the path manager. The specific processing in the media server processing units 1110 and / or 1210 cites the description of FIG. 10 described above, and will not be repeated here.
In this specification, the resource manager in the media server processing unit 1110/1210 can perform resource management with, for example, a counter base.
Hereinafter, a data processing method in a variable-type digital device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As used herein, a variable digital device refers to a digital device operated in a planar mode of a flat screen and in a variable mode for screen variable between a flat screen and a curved screen. In the present specification, the variable mode may mean a curved screen state. In other words, the variable digital device refers to a digital device that supports both a flat screen and a curved screen.
Various embodiments for a variable mode and UI / UX and variable mode operation therefor are described in this specification so that a user can more easily and conveniently use the variable digital device. On the other hand, the variable mode operation can be performed manually or automatically at the digital device according to the user's request according to the setting.
13 and 16 are diagrams showing digital devices of a flat screen and a curved screen.

Referring to Fig. 16, a part of the left and right edges of the flat screen is curved (A) at a predetermined curvature. As described above, when the curved screen is used, the left and right corner portions curved in comparison with the flat screen correspond to the viewing direction of the user, thereby enhancing the immersion feeling of digital device use as a whole.
FIG. 14 illustrates a variable mode menu according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 15 illustrates input means for the variable mode menu access and variable mode control according to an embodiment of the present invention.
For example, the variable mode menu call shown in FIG. 14 may be performed through the

FIG. 18A shows levels according to the number of viewers, and FIG. 18B shows levels according to viewing distances. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. 18A and 18B can be referred to in the variable mode menu configuration or both of them in combination.
Referring to FIG. 18A, a total of five levels from
Referring to FIG. 18B, the number of people can be calculated assuming that the viewing distance is, for example, 3.2 m. For example,
In the above, the viewing distance may be adjusted by adding or subtracting 1m, for example, from 3.2m as the viewing distance. In this case, the first level may be about 6 persons in case of 2.2m, and about 3 persons in case of 4.2m. As shown in the remaining levels, the appropriate number of people can be adjusted according to the adjusted viewing distance.
Fig. 19 is a view for explaining a variable mode configuration similar to Fig. 18;
FIG. 19A assumes a screen size of 1,218 mm, or 55 inches, when the screen of the digital device is plane, and an average viewing distance of 2.5 to 3.5 meters.
19B shows that the optimum curvature of the curved screen can be determined by referring to the number of viewers and the viewing distance with respect to the following screen size, in the variable mode, referring to FIG. 19A. For example, if the screen size is 42 inches, the number of viewers is about 2.4, and the viewing distance is about 2.2 meters, about 4700R can be provided with the optimum curvature. Here, the optimal curvature may be calculated as viewing distance * (screen width size + interval between viewers) / screen width size. For example, a curvature of 2560 mm * (1218 mm + (2.4 persons -1)) / 1218 mm is 4848 R, and a curvature of about 5000 R can be calculated with an optimum curvature. In the above, the average viewing distance is assumed based on THX (sound related standard), SMPTE (broadcasting standard body), the average of recommended distance of Japan Ergonomics Society, and the like. In the above example, the interval between viewers is about 800 mm, which is assumed based on a general movie theater-to-audience distance. In addition, the average number of viewers is assumed to be 2.4.
20 and 28 are views showing a screen configuration in a variable mode operation according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 20 may be a screen configuration upon changing the curvature according to the level selected in FIG.
Referring to FIG. 20, a UI for changing a mode from a flat screen to a curved screen with a specific curvature is configured. The UI is configured in various ways, for example, to guide the user to recognize that the screen is variable.

In the above description, each of the UIs has been described individually, but each UI may be provided by appropriately combining two or more of them. Also, although not shown or described, the guide data that can identify the variable or variable degree may be configured in various forms and may be combined with the above-described contents as appropriate.
FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a screen configuration upon completing the variable mode according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
FIG. 21 shows a UI for guiding the variable curvature when it is finally changed to the requested curvature.
In FIG. 21A, a guide UI called 'Smart Curved' is provided at the
Here, the text data 'Smart Curved' may be changed into various text data indicating a variable end. In addition, the variable UI may be provided in various forms different from those shown.
Although FIGS. 21A and 21B have been described in terms of the UI provided at the completion or end of the variable mode, they may alternatively be provided to indicate that the variable mode operation is completed before the completion of the variable mode.
21A and 21B, although the variable UI is provided at the bottom of the screen center and the upper right of the screen, the variable UI is not fixed to the corresponding area or position but may be provided at another area or position, Or may continue to move.
In addition, when the variable UI shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B indicates completion of the variable mode, it is automatically implemented on the screen when an arbitrary confirmation key signal is received or a predetermined time elapses.

23 and 24 are diagrams for explaining a variable mode menu configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention.
23 and 24 can replace the
Any one or any combination of Figs. 23A-23J may be provided in place of the
Fig. 23A is provided with menu items showing the maximum curved level from the plane level. Between the plane level and the maximum curved level, menu items may be provided that indicate one or more curved levels.
23B and 23C are similar to Fig. 23A for example, but Fig. 23A shows the menu items displaying numerically curved levels between the plane level and the maximum curved level, 23C), and provides a selection convenience of the user or the like.
23A to 23C, although three curved levels are provided similarly to FIG. 17 for the sake of convenience between the plane level and the maximum curved level, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in Fig. 23E, only one half curved level menu item exists, or only a plane and a maximum curved level exist, and there may not be another curved level, as shown in Fig. 23H. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23E, an optimal curved level menu item may be provided between the plane level and the maximum curved level instead of the half curved level. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 23A to 23C, 23E, 23G, and 23H, it is possible to configure not only a predetermined level but also a bar shape as shown in FIG. 23J so that all levels between the maximum curved level in the plane can be selected, It is also possible to use the mode convenience.
23D provides genre level menu items, for example, between a plane level and a maximum curved level, or without a plane level and a maximum curved level, so that when a specific genre level menu item is selected, Level to a low level. For example, in the case of the personalized variable mode, the user-level menu items are provided, and the preset user-level menu items are provided with a predetermined curve You can also apply de-level. In this case, the user can be recognized by referring to the log-in data of the user, the sensing information such as the gesture, voice, fingerprint, camera, and the like.
In addition, the variable mode application may be such that the
Fig. 24 will be described with reference to Fig. 22 for convenience.
24A shows a menu screen in which the variable mode UI can select the left curved area, the center area, and the right curved area.
