Fig. 8 shows a flowchart of a server-side method for waking up a display device according to an embodiment of the present application.

In step 801, a first SOCKET connection and a second SOCKET connection are created, where the first SOCKET connection is used for data interaction between the server and at least one control terminal, and the second SOCKET connection is used for data interaction between the server and at least 1 display device.

In some embodiments, the control terminal may be a mobile terminal, such as a smartphone. And a plurality of control terminals are simultaneously accessed to the server to check and control the state of the display equipment.

The display device may be specifically a smart television or the like. For example, a plurality of smart televisions are connected to a server through a network, when the smart televisions are in a power-on standby state, the smart televisions are connected to the server through a control terminal, the state of the smart televisions is checked, and then the smart televisions are remotely awakened through an awakening instruction.

The two program components exchange data in the network via a bidirectional communication link, which is called SOCKET. The SOCKET is essentially a programming interface API, and for the encapsulation of TCP/IP, the TCP/IP also needs to provide an interface which can be used by programmers for network development, namely a SOCKET programming interface; HTTP provides a specific form of encapsulating or displaying data; socks provide the ability for network communications.

In some embodiments, the first SOCKET connection is in particular an HTTP type SOCKET connection and the second SOCKET connection is in particular a UDP type SOCKET connection.

After the server is started, respectively creating an HTTP-type SOCKET and a UDP-type SOCKET, wherein the HTTP-type SOCKET is used for interacting with the control terminal and receiving various requests sent to the server by the control terminal; the UDP type SOCKET is used to interact with the display device, record the online and offline of the display device in the network, and send a wake-up instruction or a wake-up data packet to the display device, as shown in fig. 17.

HTTP is a hypertext transfer protocol, a protocol that utilizes TCP to transfer information between two computer devices, or typically a Web server and a client computer device. The client initiates an HTTP request to the Web server using the Web browser, and the Web server sends the requested information to the client. It should be noted that HTTP is a short connection, and the server needs to send back a response when the client sends a request; after the request is over, the connection is actively released, and thus is a short connection. It is common practice not to require any data, but to keep sending requests to maintain connections to the server at intervals. This ensures that the client is "on-line" at the server. The HTTP connection uses a "request-response" method, which not only establishes a connection when requested, but also returns data after the client requests the server.

The short name of UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless transport layer Protocol in OSI (Open system interconnection) reference model, which provides a transaction-oriented simple unreliable information transfer service, and IETF RFC 768 is a formal specification of UDP. The protocol number of UDP in IP packets is 17. Compared with TCP, UDP is safer and faster, and has no handshaking, confirmation, window, retransmission, congestion control and other mechanisms of TCP; UDP is a stateless transport protocol so it is very fast in transferring data. When the network communication speed is required to be as fast as possible, the UDP can be used.

In step 802, the standby heartbeat packet from the display device is analyzed to obtain device information of the display device, and the device information is stored and updated to the online list of the display device.

In some embodiments, for a display device that has entered the standby state, a standby heartbeat packet is sent to the server every time a fixed time interval elapses to indicate that the current state of the display device is a state capable of receiving a wake-up command packet. For example, if the display device is manually turned on and awakened by a user locally, the display device sends an awakened state to the server when the standby heartbeat packet is sent, so as to change the state identifier of the display device at the server; and the control terminal accesses the server and obtains the current state of the display equipment when requesting the online list of the display equipment.

In some embodiments, the server receives the data exchange request through the UDPSOCKET interface, which indicates that the request is a data packet sent by the display device to the server, and further by parsing the data packet, it may be obtained that the display device sending the data has entered a standby state and is in a state of waiting for waking up. The server analyzes the received UDP standby heartbeat data packet, acquires information such as an IP address of the Internet of the display equipment, a port number used for communicating with the server, an ID of the display equipment and the like, uniformly records the information of the display equipment to the server side, and stores the information in an established online list of the display equipment.

The display device online list includes: the status of all display devices connected to the server within the user's right. The states include power ON standby (OFF), Waking up (Waking), and awake state (ON). When the display equipment updates the state of the display equipment by sending the standby heartbeat data packet to the server, the server updates the state of the display equipment in the display list in time at the background, so that the control terminal can obtain real-time and accurate state information of the display equipment for operation and remote awakening when accessing the server to ask for the online list.

In some embodiments, the device information includes information such as an IP address of the display device on the internet, a port number for communicating with the server, and an ID of the display device, and the server records the information of the display device to the server side in a unified manner, and stores an established online list of the display device. When the control terminal remotely selects the display equipment to wake up, the server retrieves the corresponding equipment in the online list of the display equipment according to the display equipment selected in the wake-up instruction sent by the control terminal and the equipment information of the display equipment, so as to ensure that the awakened equipment and the equipment to be wakened selected by the user on the operation interface are the same display equipment.

In step 803, a standby list request is received from a control terminal, and the display device online list is sent to the control terminal.

The control terminal sends a data interaction request to the server through the HTTP-type SOCKET connection, and the server analyzes the URL in the data packet to obtain a standby list request sent by the control terminal. And the server feeds back all the display equipment in the current user authority to the control terminal in a webpage form through the HTTP type SOCKET connection, and the online list is the latest updated list of the server. The online list of the display devices records the current states of all the display devices establishing connection in the current user authority of the server, wherein the states comprise power-ON standby (OFF), Waking-up (Waking), Waking-up state (ON) and the like.

The display equipment online list is displayed on a screen of the control terminal after being received, or is mapped to other display devices which are in network connection with the control terminal, and a user can select and click icons and characters through a user interaction interface of the control terminal, so that the display equipment which needs to be remotely awakened is determined, and a first awakening instruction is sent to the server.

In step 804, the first wake-up instruction from the control terminal is analyzed to obtain device information of the display device to be woken up.

And the control terminal receives the online list of the display equipment, displays the online list on a screen of the control terminal or other display devices establishing network connection with the control terminal and is used for operating a user interaction interface. For example, the icon and the text are selected and clicked, so that a first wake-up instruction is sent to the server.

The display equipment to be awakened is the display equipment which is remotely awakened through the plan selected by the user through the control terminal.

The first awakening instruction comprises equipment information of the display equipment selected by the user at the control terminal. The server is connected through an HTTP-type SOCKET, receives a first awakening instruction sent by the control terminal, and then analyzes the first awakening instruction to obtain the device information of the device to be awakened, which is sent by the user. The device information includes an IP address of the display device on the internet, a port number for communicating with the server, and ID information of the display device.

In step 805, based on the device information, a second wake-up command is sent to the to-be-woken display device through the second SOCKET connection.

The server obtains the device information of the display device to be awakened, such as the ID, the IP address, the port number and the like of the display device, through the steps, and searches in the online list of the display device of the server according to the information to obtain list data consistent with the display device to be awakened.

And according to the display equipment to be awakened, which is retrieved by the server in the online list of the display equipment, sending a second awakening instruction to the IP address and the port where the display equipment is located through a second SOCKET connection, namely a UDP type SOCKET connection, wherein the second awakening instruction is used for starting or awakening the display equipment to be awakened.

It should be noted that the display device to be woken up usually needs to be in a power-on standby state, but the method described in the present application may also be adapted to a technical scheme in which the display device is woken up in a power-off state.

In some embodiments, the server updates the online list of the display device according to the standby heartbeat data packet sent by the display device to change the recording state of the display device.

In some implementations, when the server fails to receive the standby heartbeat packet sent by the display device for a long time, it indicates that the display device has been powered on by other means, for example, by a local manual power-on by the user. And after the preset time threshold value is exceeded, the server deletes the display equipment in the online list of the display equipment. Therefore, the started display equipment can not be displayed on the online list of the display equipment acquired by the control terminal when the control terminal accesses the server.

In some embodiments, the server does not receive the standby heartbeat packet sent by the display device for a long time, indicating that the display device may be in a power-off state. And after the preset time threshold value is exceeded, the server sets the display in the online list of the display equipment and deletes the display, so that the display equipment which is powered off is not displayed in the acquired online list of the display equipment when the control terminal accesses the server.

Fig. 9 shows a schematic diagram of a framework of a server 900 according to an embodiment of the present application.

The server 900 includes a connection creation module 901, a list update module 902, and a server wake instruction module 903.

The connection creating module is configured to create a first SOCKET connection and a second SOCKET connection, wherein the first SOCKET connection is used for the server to perform data interaction with at least one control terminal, and the second SOCKET connection is used for the server to perform data interaction with at least 1 display device; .

The specific operations related to the connection creating module 901, the list updating module 902 and the server wake-up instruction module 903 are already described in the steps of the method corresponding to fig. 8, and are not described herein again.

Fig. 10 shows a flowchart of a method for waking up a display device according to an embodiment of the present application.

In step 1001, a standby heartbeat packet is sent to the server via the second SOCKET connection.

In some embodiments, each time interval elapses, the display device entering the standby state sends a standby heartbeat packet to the server through the second SOCKET connection, that is, the UDP type SOCKET connection, where the standby heartbeat packet is used to indicate that the current state of the display device is a state capable of receiving the wake-up command.

In some embodiments, the standby heartbeat packet is used to indicate that the current state of the display device is a receivable wake-up command packet state. For example, the display device is turned on manually by a user locally, and the display device sends its awakened state to the server through a standby heartbeat packet, so as to change the state identifier of the display device on the server. When the control terminal accesses the server to request the online list of the display device, the accurate current state of the display device is obtained, as shown in fig. 17.

In some embodiments, the display device sends a data exchange request to the server through the UDPSOCKET interface, and the server obtains that the display device sending data has entered a standby state and is in a state of waiting for waking up by parsing the data exchange request.

The server analyzes the UDP standby heartbeat data packet displayed and sent, acquires information such as an Internet IP address of the display equipment, a port number used for communicating with the server, an ID of the display equipment and the like, uniformly records the information to the server, and establishes an online list of the display equipment for storage.

In some embodiments, the display device updates the status of the devices in the online list of the display device by sending a standby heartbeat packet to the server to update its status identifier at the server. When the control terminal accesses the server to ask for the online list, the real-time and accurate state information of the display equipment can be obtained, and operation and remote awakening are carried out.

In some embodiments, the device information of the display device may be obtained by parsing the standby heartbeat packet. The control terminal remotely selects the display equipment to be awakened and operates; the server retrieves the corresponding equipment in the online list of the display equipment through the equipment information of the display equipment to be awakened selected from the awakening instruction sent by the control terminal, so as to ensure that the awakened equipment and the equipment selected by the user on the operation interface of the control terminal are the same display equipment.

In step 1002, a second wake-up command is received from the server, and a wake-up logic is executed to power on.

The server analyzes the first awakening instruction sent by the control terminal to obtain the equipment information of the display equipment to be awakened. For example, the ID, the IP address, or the port number of the display device, etc., are retrieved in the online list of the display device according to the device information, so as to obtain list data of the display device to be woken up. And according to the retrieved display equipment in the online list of the display equipment, the server sends a second awakening instruction through a second SOCKET connection, namely a UDP type SOCKET connection, according to the IP address and the port number of the display equipment, wherein the second awakening instruction is used for starting or awakening the display equipment to be awakened.

And the display equipment to be awakened receives a second awakening instruction from the server through a second SOCKET connection, namely a UDP type SOCKET connection, and executes the awakening logic to start.

It should be noted that the display device to be woken up usually needs to be in a power-on standby state, but the method of the present application may also be adapted to a technical scheme in which the display device is woken up in a power-off state.

In some embodiments, the display device has completed the power-on operation through the second wake-up instruction, and the display device will not send the standby heartbeat data packet to the server after the power-on, so as to reduce network data traffic and reduce machine aging and attenuation; after the preset time threshold is exceeded, the server deletes the started device from the online display device list, and when the control terminal accesses the server, the acquired online display device list does not display the started device, as shown in fig. 17.

Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating a frame of a display device 1100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

The display device 1100 includes a display device data transmission module 1101 and a display device wake-up instruction module 1102.

The display device data sending module is configured to send a standby heartbeat data packet of the display device to a server through the second SOCKET connection; the display device wake-up instruction module is configured to receive a second wake-up instruction from the server and execute a wake-up logic power-on.

The specific operations related to the display device data sending module and the display device wake-up instruction module have been described in the steps of the method corresponding to fig. 10, and are not described herein again.

Fig. 12 shows a flowchart illustrating a terminal control method for waking up a display device according to an embodiment of the present application.

In step 1201, a standby list request is sent to the server over the first SOCKET connection.

The method comprises the steps that a control terminal initiates a connection request to a server through a first SOCKET connection, namely an HTTP type SOCKET connection, the server establishes a TCP connection with the control terminal after receiving the connection request, and places a newly generated SOCKET in a detection queue of the server, wherein the SOCKET is used for completing data transmission between the control terminal and the server in the subsequent steps.

A remote display device in a network is awakened to be powered on by operating the control terminal. The control terminal sends URL data to the server through HTTP type SOCKET connection; the URL data is parsed by the server to obtain a standby list request sent by the control terminal, as shown in fig. 17.

The standby list request includes at least an ID, status information, etc. of the display apparatus. The ID of the display device is used for the server and the control terminal to distinguish different display devices. The state information includes: power ON standby (OFF), awake (Waking), and awake state (ON).

The power-on standby mode indicates that the display equipment is in a state of power-on waiting for awakening, and the display equipment can be started at any time when receiving an awakening instruction; the waking state is an operation stage performed after the display device receives the waking instruction, generally, after the display device is successfully started up or fails to start up, the feedback result information is sent to the server and further forwarded to the control terminal, and a user can obtain a waking operation result of the display device; the wake-up state indicates that the display device is successfully woken up after receiving the wake-up instruction and is in a power-on state.

In step 1202, the online list of display devices sent by the server is received and displayed on a screen of the control terminal.

The control terminal receives feedback information from the server through a first SOCKET connection, i.e. an HTTP type SOCKET connection, the feedback information being directed to a standby list request sent by the control terminal to the server.

The method comprises the steps that a control terminal receives a display device online list which is from a server and can be accessed by a user in user authority at the current time, and the display device online list is fed back to the control terminal in a webpage format; the control terminal then displays it on a control terminal screen, or maps to other display devices that establish network connections with the control terminal.

Fig. 13, 14 and 15 show schematic diagrams of operation interfaces of the control terminal according to the embodiment of the application.

And the user selects and clicks the icon and the character through a user interaction interface of the control terminal, so that the display equipment needing to be remotely awakened is determined and selected, and a first awakening instruction is sent to the server.

With continued reference to fig. 13, the display device lists the 3 display devices that have established a connection with the server at the current time in an online list, where:

the ID column indicates ID information of the display device, and the ID information is a data string type.

The STATUS column indicates STATUS information of the display device, and the STATUS information in the figure is all in a power-on standby (OFF) state, indicating that 3 display devices are all in power-on standby, and can receive a wake-up command and perform wake-up operation at any time. In some embodiments, the state information may also be awake (Waking) and/or awake state (ON).

The OP column represents an operation button of the user interaction interface. In this embodiment, the operation button is a wakeup button (wakeup); in some embodiments, the operation buttons are not limited to the same button names and button icons as those shown in the present embodiment.

In step 1203, a display device to be woken up is selected based on the display device online list, and a first wake-up instruction is sent to the server.

A user operates the online list of the display device through an operation of the user interaction interface performed by the control terminal on the control terminal or a screen thereof, or on another display device that establishes a network connection with the control terminal, for example, selects and clicks an icon and a character, so as to send a first wake-up instruction to the server, as shown in fig. 13 and 14.

Fig. 14 shows a screen display of the control terminal after the wake-up button of fig. 13 is clicked in the embodiment of the present application.

The display device shown in the second row has its status information column changed from the previous OFF state to the Waking state, indicating that the display device being wakened is performing the remote wake-up operation.

Fig. 15 shows a screen display of the control terminal after the wake-up button of fig. 13 is clicked in the embodiment of the present application.

The state information of the display device shown in the second row changes from Waking to ON in fig. 14, which indicates that the display device that has been wakened up is already in the power-ON state and wakening up is successful.

The first awakening instruction comprises device information of the display device to be awakened, which is selected by the control terminal. The control terminal is connected through an HTTP-type SOCKET and sends a first awakening instruction to the server; and after receiving the first awakening instruction, the server analyzes the first awakening instruction to obtain the equipment information of the display equipment to be awakened. The device information includes an internet IP address of the display device, a port number for communicating with the server, and ID information of the display device, etc.

In some embodiments, the control terminal screen is configured to present an online list of display devices; then, a user selects a wakeup button representing equipment needing to be awakened through clicking or other modes of operation on an interactive interface; and then the control terminal sends the first wake-up instruction to the server. The wake button may be implemented, in some implementations, by a java script program.

Fig. 16 shows a frame diagram of a control terminal 1600 according to an embodiment of the present application.

The control terminal 1600 includes a control terminal data transmitting module 1601 and a data receiving module 1602.

The control terminal data sending module is configured to send a standby list request to the server through a first SOCKET connection; and selecting the display equipment needing to be awakened based on the received online list of the display equipment, and sending a first awakening instruction to the server. The data receiving module is configured to receive the online list of the display devices sent by the server and display the online list of the display devices on a screen of the control terminal.

It should be noted that specific operations related to the control terminal data sending module and the data receiving module have been described in the method steps corresponding to fig. 12, fig. 13, fig. 14, and fig. 15, and are not described again here.
