Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. 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.

The present application is mainly directed to a sound and picture synchronization process of a display device having a dual-system and dual-display structure, that is, a display device having a first controller (a first hardware system), a second controller (a second hardware system), a first display, and a second display, and the following first describes details of structures, functions, implementation manners, and the like of the display device having the dual-system hardware structure.

For the convenience of users, various external device interfaces are usually provided on the display device to facilitate connection of different peripheral devices or cables to implement corresponding functions. When a high-definition camera is connected to an interface of the display device, if a hardware system of the display device does not have a hardware interface of a high-pixel camera receiving the source code, data received by the camera cannot be displayed on a display screen of the display device.

Furthermore, due to the hardware structure, the hardware system of the conventional display device only supports one path of hard decoding resources, and usually only supports video decoding with a resolution of 4K at most, so when a user wants to perform video chat while watching a network television, the user needs to use the hard decoding resources (usually GPU in the hardware system) to decode the network video without reducing the definition of the network video screen, and in this case, the user can only process the video chat screen by using a general-purpose processor (e.g. CPU) in the hardware system to perform soft decoding on the video.

The soft decoding is adopted to process the video chat picture, so that the data processing burden of a CPU (central processing unit) can be greatly increased, and when the data processing burden of the CPU is too heavy, the problem of picture blocking or unsmooth flow can occur. Further, due to the data processing capability of the CPU, when the CPU performs soft decoding on the video chat screen, multi-channel video calls cannot be generally implemented, and when a user wants to perform video chat with multiple other users in the same chat scene, access is blocked.

In view of the above aspects, to overcome the above drawbacks, the present application discloses a dual hardware system architecture to implement multiple channels of video chat data (at least one channel of local video).

The concept to which the present application relates will be first explained below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following descriptions of the concepts are only for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the contents of the present application, and do not represent limitations on the scope of the present application.

The component may typically be connected to the electronic device using infrared and/or Radio Frequency (RF) signals and/or bluetooth, and may also include functional modules such as WiFi, wireless USB, bluetooth, motion sensors, etc. For example: the hand-held touch remote controller replaces most of the physical built-in hard keys in the common remote control device with the user interface in the touch screen.

The term "gesture" as used in the embodiments of the present application refers to a user's behavior through a change in hand shape or an action such as hand movement to express an intended idea, action, purpose, or result.

The term "hardware system" used in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a physical component having computing, controlling, storing, inputting and outputting functions, which is formed by a mechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic device such as an Integrated Circuit (IC), a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and the like. In various embodiments of the present application, a hardware system may also be referred to as a motherboard (or chip).

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an operation scenario between a display device and a control apparatus according to an embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, a user may operate the display apparatus 200 through the control device 100.

The control device 100 may be a remote controller 100A, which can communicate with the display device 200 through an infrared protocol communication, a bluetooth protocol communication, a ZigBee (ZigBee) protocol communication, or other short-range communication, and is used to control the display device 200 in a wireless or other wired manner. The user may input a user instruction through a key on the remote controller 100A, voice input, control panel input, or the like to control the display apparatus 200. Such as: the user can input a corresponding control command through a volume up/down key, a channel control key, up/down/left/right movement keys, a voice input key, a menu key, a power on/off key, etc. on the remote controller 100A to control the functions of the display device 200.

The control device 100 may also be an intelligent device, such as a mobile terminal 100B, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, and the like, which may communicate with the display device 200 through a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), or other networks, and implement control of the display device 200 through an application program corresponding to the display device 200. For example, the display device 200 is controlled using an application program running on the smart device. The application may provide various controls to the User through an intuitive User Interface (UI) on a screen associated with the smart device.

For example, the mobile terminal 100B and the display device 200 may each have a software application installed thereon, so that connection communication between the two can be realized through a network communication protocol, and the purpose of one-to-one control operation and data communication can be further realized. Such as: a control instruction protocol can be established between the mobile terminal 100B and the display device 200, a remote control keyboard is synchronized to the mobile terminal 100B, and the function of controlling the display device 200 is realized by controlling a user interface on the mobile terminal 100B; the audio and video content displayed on the mobile terminal 100B may also be transmitted to the display device 200, so as to implement a synchronous display function.

As shown in fig. 1, the display apparatus 200 may also perform data communication with the server 300 through various communication means. In various embodiments of the present application, the display device 200 may be allowed to be in a wired or wireless communication connection with the server 300 via a local area network, a wireless local area network, or other network. The server 300 may provide various contents and interactions to the display apparatus 200.

Illustratively, the display device 200 receives software program updates, or accesses a remotely stored digital media library by sending and receiving information, and Electronic Program Guide (EPG) interactions. The servers 300 may be a group or groups, and may be one or more types of servers.

For example, the first display 201 may be used for screen display of conventional television programs, and the second display 202 may be used for screen display of auxiliary information such as notification type messages, voice assistants, and the like.

Alternatively, the content displayed by the first display 201 and the content displayed by the second display 202 may be independent of each other and not affected by each other. For example, when the first display 201 plays a television program, the second display 202 may display information such as time, weather, temperature, reminder messages, and the like, which are not related to the television program.

Optionally, there may also be an association between the content displayed by the first display 201 and the content displayed by the second display 202. For example, when the first display 201 plays a main screen of a video chat, the second display 202 may display information such as an avatar, a chat duration, and the like of a user currently accessing the video chat.

Optionally, part or all of the content displayed by the second display 202 may be adjusted to be displayed by the first display 201. For example, the information such as time, weather, temperature, reminder message, etc. displayed on the first display 201 may be adjusted to be displayed on the first display 201, while other information is displayed on the second display 202.

In addition, the first display 201 displays the multi-party interactive picture while displaying the traditional television program picture, and the multi-party interactive picture does not block the traditional television program picture. The display mode of the traditional television program picture and the multi-party interactive picture is not limited by the application. For example, the position and the size of the traditional television program picture and the multi-party interactive picture can be set according to the priority of the traditional television program picture and the multi-party interactive picture.

Taking the example that the priority of the traditional television program picture is higher than that of the multi-party interactive picture, the area of the traditional television program picture is larger than that of the multi-party interactive picture, and the multi-party interactive picture can be positioned at one side of the traditional television program picture and can also be arranged at one corner of the multi-party interactive picture in a floating manner.

The display device 200, in one aspect, may be a liquid crystal display, an oled (organic Light emitting diode) display, a projection display device; on the other hand, the display device can be a display system consisting of an intelligent television or a display and a set-top box. The specific display device type, size, resolution, etc. are not limiting, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that the display device 200 may be modified in performance and configuration as desired.

The display apparatus 200 may additionally provide an intelligent network tv function that provides a computer support function in addition to the broadcast receiving tv function. Examples include a web tv, a smart tv, an Internet Protocol Tv (IPTV), and the like. In some embodiments, the display device may not have a broadcast receiving television function.

As an embodiment, the camera adopted in the present application may have 1600 ten thousand pixels, so as to achieve the purpose of ultra high definition display. In actual use, cameras higher or lower than 1600 ten thousand pixels may also be used.

After the camera is installed on the display device, the contents displayed by different application scenes of the display device can be fused in various different modes, so that the function which cannot be realized by the traditional display device is achieved.

Illustratively, a user may conduct a video chat with at least one other user while watching a video program. The presentation of the video program may be as a background frame over which a window for video chat is displayed. Pictorially, this function may be referred to as "chat while looking".

Optionally, in the scene of "chat while watching", at least one video chat is performed across the terminals while watching the live video or the network video.

In another example, a user can conduct a video chat with at least one other user while entering the educational application for learning. For example, a student may interact remotely with a teacher while learning content in an educational application. Figuratively, this function may be referred to as "chatting while learning".

The focus object refers to an object that moves between items according to user input. Illustratively, the focus object position is implemented or identified by drawing a thick line through the item edge. In other embodiments, the focus form is not limited to an example, and may be a form such as a cursor that is recognizable by the user, either tangible or intangible, such as in the form of a 3D deformation of the item, or may change the identification of the border lines, size, color, transparency, and outline and/or font of the text or image of the item in focus.

The event transmission system 2914, which may monitor user input for each predefined event or sub-event heard, provides control identifying the event or sub-event directly or indirectly to the interface layout management module 2913.

The interface layout management module 2913 is configured to monitor the state of the user interface (including the position and/or size of the view partition, the item, the focus or the cursor object, the change process, and the like), and according to the event or the sub-event, may perform a modification on the layout of the size and position, the hierarchy, and the like of the view display area, and/or adjust or modify the layout of the size or/and position, the number, the type, the content, and the like of the layout of various items in the view display area. In some embodiments, the layout is modified and adjusted, including displaying or not displaying the view sections or the content of the items in the view sections on the screen.

And a user input interface for transmitting an input signal of a user to the controller or transmitting a signal output from the controller to the user. For example, the control device (e.g., a mobile terminal or a remote controller) may send an input signal, such as a power switch signal, a channel selection signal, a volume adjustment signal, etc., input by a user to the user input interface, and then the input signal is forwarded to the controller by the user input interface; alternatively, the control device may receive an output signal such as audio, video, or data output from the user input interface via the controller, and display the received output signal or output the received output signal in audio or vibration form.

In some embodiments, a user may input a user command on a Graphical User Interface (GUI) displayed on the display 200, 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 receives the user input command by recognizing the sound or gesture through the sensor.

In order to solve the above problem, embodiments of the present application provide a display apparatus including a plurality of displays, illustratively, a first display and a second display.

The display device further includes: a user input interface and a controller;

the user input interface is configured to: receiving a voice instruction input by a user;

a controller configured to: responding to a voice search instruction input by a user, wherein the voice search instruction comprises a voice search statement, and sending a video resource search request corresponding to the voice search statement to a server so that the server determines video resources according to the voice search statement; and calling back the video resource and controlling the first display to display the video resource.

For example, the user may say "i want to see a tai drama" to send a voice search instruction, where the voice search sentence is the text content identified from "i want to see a tai drama". The controller converts the voice search statement into a corresponding video resource search request and sends the video resource search request to the server, and the server searches for the corresponding video resource according to the voice search statement. And the controller calls back the video resource and controls the first display to display the video resource.

Since the voice search sentence spoken by the user is not standard, the server may search for the video resource corresponding to the voice search sentence, which is deviated from the video resource desired by the user. Illustratively, when the voice search sentence is that i want to watch a theatrical, since the video resource related to the theatrical is what i want to watch, but the dimensional information corresponding to the video resource when storing may include thailand and a theatrical, and the same content as that of the thailand and the theatrical does not exist in the theatrical, it may happen that the server cannot accurately search the video resource that i want to watch.

Therefore, the embodiment of the application also sends the dimension information search request corresponding to the voice search statement to the server, so that the server determines the dimension information according to the voice search statement; and calling back the dimension information and controlling a second display to display the dimension information. The dimension information includes a dimension type, which may be, for example, region, category, role, year, etc., and a dimension name, which may be hong kong, inland, comedy, action, director, 90 s, etc., and as shown in fig. 12, the dimension information displayed on the second display includes role: director and director; the generation: the 90 s, 00 s, 10 s, 2019 s; type (2): comedy, action, crime. Specifically, the controller transmits the dimension information to the second display through an RPC (Remote Procedure Call).

Specifically, the dimension information corresponding to the voice search statement is confirmed through the voice search statement, the dimension information is used as a guide for the user to speak the language search statement and is displayed on the second display, at the moment, the user can refer to the dimension information displayed on the second display and speak the voice search statement more standard, and therefore the user can obtain more accurate video resources. It should be noted that the process of sending the video resource search request corresponding to the voice search statement to the server and the process of sending the dimension information search request corresponding to the voice search statement to the server are implemented by using different threads. A first display configured to: displaying the video resource;

a second display configured to: and displaying the dimension information.

In some embodiments, the server includes a search system and a headword management system. A method for voice searching a video resource of a display device, as shown in fig. 10, includes:

the controller responds to a voice search instruction input by a user, sends a video resource search request corresponding to a voice search statement to the search system, and simultaneously sends a dimensionality search request corresponding to the voice search statement to the central word management system. And the searching system determines video resources according to the voice searching statement, and the controller calls back the video resources and controls the first display to display the video resources. And the headword management system determines dimension information according to the voice search statement, and the controller recalls the dimension information and controls the second display to display the dimension information.

In some embodiments, the controller is configured to perform the determining the dimensional information from the voice search statement by:

if the alternative core words exist in the voice search sentence, one main core word is screened out from the alternative core words.

The embodiment of the application further includes a database storing candidate nodes, where the candidate nodes are stored in the database in a tree structure, each candidate node is a set of a plurality of candidate core words with similar meanings, for example, as shown in fig. 11, a movie node is a candidate node, and the candidate node includes, in addition to movies, candidate core words such as videos. For another example, the name node under the movie node is a candidate node, and the candidate node includes a set of candidate core words such as all directors and actors. In fig. 11, for example, the alternative core words in the drama node, the alternative core words in the movie node, and the alternative core words in the sports node are all in parent-child relationship with the alternative core words in the movie node. In another example, there is a parent-child relationship between the candidate core word in the movie node and the candidate core word in the production company node. In addition, the candidate core word of each candidate node comprises a hierarchy, and illustratively, the hierarchy of the candidate core word in the movie node is 0; the hierarchy of the alternative core words in the television drama node, the movie node and the sports node is 1.

In the embodiment of the present application, the specific process of determining whether there is a candidate core word in a voice search sentence includes: and judging whether the same words in the voice search sentences as the alternative central words in the database exist or not.

And if the same words in the voice search sentences and the alternative central words in the database exist, screening out a main central word from the alternative central words corresponding to the voice search sentences.

The controller is further configured to execute the determining dimensional information from the voice search statement by:

and if the same words in the alternative central words in the database do not exist in the voice search sentence, determining the dimension information according to a first preset rule. For example, the first preset rule may select dimension information with a high frequency for the frequency of searching all dimension information in a period of time, and display the dimension information on the second display, as shown in fig. 12.

In some embodiments, the controller is configured to perform the following steps of screening out a main headword from the candidate headwords:

and if the number of the alternative central words is one, determining that the alternative central word is the main central word. For example, if the candidate headword is a planet, then the planet is determined to be the primary headword.

And if the number of the candidate central words is two and parent-child relations exist between the candidate central words, determining the high-level candidate central word in the two candidate central words as the main central word. For example, the candidate core words are mons and western speeches, and referring to fig. 11, the candidate core words in the movie nodes in the database include western speeches, the candidate core words in the name nodes below the movie nodes include mons, and the mons is determined as the main core word because of the paternal relationship between the mons and the western speeches, the level of the mons is 2, and the level of the western speeches is 1.

And if the number of the candidate central words is two and parent-child relations do not exist between the candidate central words, determining the candidate central word with a low level in the two candidate central words as the main central word. For example, the candidate core words are majoram and yaoming, referring to fig. 11, the candidate core words in the movie nodes in the database include majoram, the candidate core words in the name node of motgxing include yaoming, and since there is no father-son relationship between majoram and yaoming, the level of majoram is 1, and the level of yaoming is 2, it is determined that majoram is the main core word. Therefore, the dimension information corresponding to the searched main headword can be close to the dimension information corresponding to the video resource required by the user.

If the number of the alternative core words is three or more, if the relationship among the alternative core words has a parent-child relationship, determining that the high-level alternative core word in the alternative core words with the parent-child relationship is a secondary core word;

if the hierarchy of the secondary central word is different from that of other alternative central words, determining the alternative central word or the secondary central word with low hierarchy as the main central word;

and if the hierarchy of the secondary central word is the same as that of other alternative central words, determining the main central word according to a second preset rule.

For example, the candidate core words are jiang, mahonia and yaoming, and referring to fig. 11, the candidate core words in the name node in the drama node include jiang, the candidate core words in the movie node include mahonia and westerns, and the candidate core words in the name node below the movie node include sunrise. The description uses the mons as the secondary word because of the parent-child relationship between them and the western grand. And because the level of the sung speed is 2 and the level of the Jiangshan is 2, the main central word is determined according to a second preset rule at the moment. In this embodiment of the application, the second preset rule may be that the candidate headword and the secondary headword with high search frequency are used as the main headword. For example, Jiangsan has a search frequency of 100 and a search frequency of a sunstar chi of 2000, and the sunstar chi is determined as the main core word.

In some embodiments, dimension information is determined based on the primary headword. Specifically, each main headword has corresponding dimension information. Take a circumcision as an example: when the planet is taken as the main headword, the dimension information is shown in table 1.

In some embodiments, the controller is configured to perform the controlling the second display to display the dimension information according to the following steps:

arranging the dimension information according to a third preset rule; and controlling the second display to display the arranged dimension information.

Specifically, since the amount of the dimension information may be large, the dimension information cannot be displayed on the second display in its entirety. According to the embodiment of the application, in order to enable the dimension information displayed on the second display to be more accurate and provide help for the user, the dimension information is rearranged. The third preset rule may be that the frequency of searching the dimension information in a period of time, that is, the heat degree of the dimension information, rearrange the dimension information according to the heat degree of the dimension information, and display the rearranged dimension information on the second display from high to low according to the heat degree. In this way, the accuracy of the user's search results may be improved.
