All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of an embodiment 1 of a television program control method according to the present invention is shown, where the method is applied to a television program control system, where the system includes a terminal and a television receiver wirelessly connected to the terminal, the terminal and the television receiver may perform data interaction, and the terminal receives audio and video data from the television receiver with a wireless function in a wireless manner, and may also send a corresponding television program control instruction to the television receiver with a wireless function in a wireless manner. The embodiment may specifically include the following steps:

step 101: and the terminal receives a television program control command input by a user on the interactive interface.

In this embodiment, the terminal may be an intelligent terminal device, for example, a tablet computer or a smart phone. An interactive interface containing a control area can be preset on a display interface of the mobile terminal, one or more buttons or links capable of realizing different functions can be preset in the control area, and a user can trigger a television program control instruction by clicking the buttons or the links. The television program control instruction may be a scan instruction for scanning a television channel, a channel selection instruction for selecting a television channel, or other instructions for controlling a television program.

If the television program control instruction is a scanning instruction, when a user presses a scanning platform button, the terminal sends the scanning instruction to the television receiver, after the television receiver receives the scanning instruction, the current content of all channels is scanned, the current television picture of each television channel can be obtained, the subsequent television receiver can send all the current television pictures to the terminal, the terminal can display all the current television pictures, and the user can select a favorite television channel according to the current television picture, namely, the video content of the television channel corresponding to the current television picture is displayed when clicking one current television picture.

It can be understood that the operation of the television receiver to scan the television channels may also be continuously performed in the background while the terminal plays the content of a certain television channel, so that the user can view the current television picture of each television channel at any time, so as to implement the operation of selecting and switching the television channels.

Step 102: and the terminal sends the television program control instruction to the television receiver.

In specific implementation, after receiving a television program control instruction triggered by a user, the terminal can send the television program control instruction to a television receiver in a wireless manner.

Step 103: and the television receiver selects a television receiving channel according to the television program control instruction and returns the received television program information to the terminal.

After receiving a television program control instruction sent by a terminal, a television receiver first selects a television receiving channel according to content indicated by the television program control instruction, for example, if the television program control instruction of a user indicates that the user currently selects the view of the Hunan satellite, the television receiver needs to select the view of the Hunan satellite as a television receiving channel to receive television program information of the view of the Hunan satellite.

Wherein, the television program control instruction may include: a scan instruction to scan a television channel and/or a channel selection instruction to select a television channel.

Step 104: and the terminal realizes the control of the television program by receiving the television program information returned by the television receiver.

The terminal can receive the television program information returned by the television receiver in a wireless mode, so that the control of the television program, such as scanning or channel selection, is realized.

The embodiment of the invention adopts a mode that the terminal and the television receiver wirelessly transmit data, so that even if a user leaves a place provided with the television, the television receiver can be controlled by the terminal to play television programs and the like, and the television programs can be watched by the terminal.

In practical applications, when the tv program control instruction is a scan instruction for scanning a tv channel, as shown in fig. 2, the step 104 may specifically include:

step 201: the method comprises the steps that a terminal receives video content of at least one frame of a plurality of television channels sent by a television receiver; the plurality of television channels are all television channels which are scanned currently by the television receiver or are preset; the video content is an original size television picture or a reduced television picture.

The terminal receives the video content of at least one frame of the multiple television channels transmitted by the television receiver, because the television receiver scans a great number of television channels, preferably, the television receiver may transmit the video content of only one frame to the terminal for each television channel, and of course, the television receiver may also transmit the video content of multiple frames for each television channel, which is not limited in the present invention. The tv channels herein refer to all tv channels currently scanned by the tv receiver, or all tv channels preset on the tv receiver side, for example, tv channels pre-selected by the user among all tv channels that can be received by the tv receiver. Among the selected tv channels, the user may select one of all the scanned tv channels from the tv receiver if there are duplicate channels, or the user may not select some tv channels with poor signal quality, or tv channels that the user does not have interest in, etc. Further, when the television receiver sends the video content of each television channel, the video content of the original size of the television channel can be directly sent to the terminal, and the video content of the original size of the television channel can also be compressed and then sent to the terminal, so that the size of transmission data between the television receiver and the terminal is reduced, and the data transmission is ensured on the basis of occupying smaller bandwidth.

Step 202: and the terminal adaptively adjusts the pictures of the plurality of television channels according to the size of the display screen and displays the adjusted pictures of the plurality of television channels on the display screen in a preset arrangement mode.

After receiving the video content of the television program sent by the television receiver, the terminal can adaptively adjust the pictures of the multiple television channels according to the size of the display screen of the terminal, and then display the adjusted pictures of the multiple television channels on the display screen of the terminal in a preset arrangement mode.

After the terminal displays the adjusted pictures of the multiple television channels on its display screen in a preset arrangement manner in step 202, referring to fig. 3, the method may further include:

step 301: the terminal receives an operation that a user selects a television picture corresponding to one television channel on a display screen to determine the selected television channel as a main channel.

After the terminal displays all the television channels, the user may select (for example, by touching or clicking a button) one television screen corresponding to one television channel on the display screen, so as to determine the television channel as the main channel, that is, the television channel currently being watched by the user. At this time, the television channels not selected by other users are all auxiliary channels, and are television channels which can be selected by the user.

Step 302: the terminal transmits the main channel selected by the user to the television receiver.

The terminal sends the main channel selected by the user to the television receiver so that the television receiver can adjust the receiving channel and receive the television program of the main channel from the television station corresponding to the main channel.

Step 303: and the terminal receives and plays the television program information which is transmitted by the television receiver after adjusting the receiving channel and is received from the corresponding television station.

And the terminal receives the television program information which is sent by the television receiver after the television receiver adjusts the receiving channel and is received from the corresponding television station from the television receiver, and plays the television program information.

After the terminal plays the television programs of a plurality of television channels on the display screen, the user can also determine a main channel by selecting the current television picture of any television channel, so that the favorite television programs can be preferentially played on the terminal.

In practical application, the television receiver may have two or more receiving channels, wherein one receiving channel is used for receiving a television program of a main channel and sending the received complete television program content to the terminal; the other one or more channels are used for repeatedly scanning all the currently scanned or preset playable television channels and sending the video content of at least one frame of each playable television channel to the terminal, wherein the video content is an original-size television picture or a reduced television picture; as shown in fig. 4, the step 303 may specifically include:

step 401: the terminal receives complete television program content of a main channel and video content of at least one frame of each playable television channel, which are sent by a television receiver; the playable television channels include a main channel and an auxiliary channel, or the playable television channels include an auxiliary channel.

The television receiver adopts a receiving channel to receive the television program of the main channel and sends the received complete television program content to the terminal, and one or more other channels repeatedly scan all the currently scanned or preset playable television channels and can send the video content of at least one frame of each playable television channel to the terminal, wherein the video content can be an original-size television picture or a reduced television picture. The playable television channel may include a main channel and other auxiliary channels except the main channel, and of course, may also include only other auxiliary channels except the main channel.

Step 402: the terminal plays a first display content and a second display content according to a preset playing mode, wherein the video content of the main channel forms the first display content; the television channel set picture composed of at least one frame of video content of each television channel capable of playing forms the second display content, and the audio content of the main channel forms the terminal audio playing content.

After receiving the complete television program content of the main channel and the television programs of at least one frame of each playable television channel, the terminal plays the video content of the main channel and the television channel set picture consisting of the video content of at least one frame of each playable television channel according to a preset playing mode. The video content of the main channel forms a first display content, a television channel set picture formed by at least one frame of video content of each playable television channel forms a second display content, and the audio content of the main channel forms a terminal audio playing content, namely the television program content currently watched by the user.

In different embodiments, for step 402, specifically, the following steps may be performed: and the terminal plays the first display content on the whole area of the display screen of the terminal.

The terminal can play the television program of the main channel to the maximum, namely, the first display content is played on the whole area of the display screen of the terminal, and at the moment, the second display content is in a hidden state. Then, as shown in fig. 5, after step 402, the method may further include:

step 501: and in response to a switching display request of second display content triggered by a user, arranging and displaying the second display content on the whole area of the display screen.

In the case where the terminal uses all of its display area to play the first display content, a switch button or a switch link, etc. may be provided on the display screen, and the switch button or the switch link may generate an instruction to switch the display request when triggered, so as to switch and display the first display content as the second display content, which may be displayed in an arrangement on the entire area of the display screen because the second display content is video content of a plurality of playable television channels.

It is understood that, because the area size of the display screen of the terminal is limited and the number of playable tv channels in the second display content may be too large, a situation may occur in which the second display content cannot be completely displayed on the whole area of the display screen, and then, as shown in fig. 6, after step 402, the method may further include:

step 601: and responding to a scrolling instruction triggered by a user, and displaying television pictures of other television channels which cannot be displayed on the whole area of the display screen in the playable television channels by the terminal.

A scroll bar may be set on the display screen of the terminal, and if each television channel in the second display content is not completely displayed on the display area, the user may trigger a scroll instruction to cause the terminal to display a television picture of another television channel that cannot be displayed on the entire area of the display screen among the playable television channels.

In different embodiments, all display areas of the terminal may also be divided into a first display area and a second display area, and then the terminal plays the first display content and the second display content according to a preset playing manner in step 402, which may specifically be: and the terminal plays the first display content on the first display area and plays the second display content on the second display area. In general, when the first display area and the second display area exist simultaneously, the area of the first display area may be larger than that of the second display area, so as to facilitate a user to clearly watch a television program of a main channel.

In different embodiments, since the number of playable tv channels may be large, and the second display area may only display a part of the tv picture of the playable tv channel, after the step 402, the method may further include:

step 701: and responding to a scrolling instruction triggered by the user, and displaying the television pictures of other television channels in the playable television channels by the terminal.

In this step, the display screen of the terminal is already divided into two display areas, where the smaller second display area only displays a part of the television pictures of the playable television channels, and then a scroll bar may be set in advance on the display interface of the terminal, and when the user triggers a scroll instruction through the scroll bar, the terminal may be triggered to scroll and display the television pictures of other parts of the playable television channels in the second display area.
