And after the kernel is started, loading the Shell and the user application program. The application program is compiled into machine code after being started, and a process is formed.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, which are an Application (Applications) layer (abbreviated as "Application layer"), an Application Framework (Application Framework) layer (abbreviated as "Framework layer"), an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (abbreviated as "system runtime library layer"), and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

In some embodiments, at least one application program runs in the application program layer, and the application programs can be Window (Window) programs carried by an operating system, system setting programs, clock programs, camera applications and the like; or may be an application developed by a third party developer such as a hi program, a karaoke program, a magic mirror program, or the like. In specific implementation, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples, and may actually include other application packages, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application program of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions. The application framework layer acts as a processing center that decides to let the applications in the application layer act. The application program can access the resource in the system and obtain the service of the system in execution through the API interface

As shown in fig. 4, in the embodiment of the present application, the application framework layer includes a manager (Managers), a Content Provider (Content Provider), and the like, where the manager includes at least one of the following modules: an activity manager (ActivityManager) is used to interact with all activities running in the system; the Location Manager (Location Manager) is used for providing the system service or application with the access of the system Location service; a Package Manager (Package Manager) for retrieving various information related to an application Package currently installed on the device; a notification manager (notifiationmanager) for controlling display and clearing of notification messages; a Window Manager (Window Manager) is used to manage the icons, windows, toolbars, wallpapers, and desktop components on a user interface.

In some embodiments, the activity manager is to: managing the life cycle of each application program and the general navigation backspacing function, such as controlling the exit of the application program (including switching the user interface currently displayed in the display window to the system desktop), opening, backing (including switching the user interface currently displayed in the display window to the previous user interface of the user interface currently displayed), and the like.

In some embodiments, the window manager is configured to manage all window processes, such as obtaining a display size, determining whether a status bar is available, locking a screen, intercepting a screen, controlling a display change (e.g., zooming out, dithering, distorting, etc.) and the like.

In some embodiments, the system runtime layer provides support for the upper layer, i.e., the framework layer, and when the framework layer is used, the android operating system runs the C/C + + library included in the system runtime layer to implement the functions to be implemented by the framework layer.

In some embodiments, the kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. As shown in fig. 4, the core layer includes at least one of the following drivers: audio drive, display drive, bluetooth drive, camera drive, WIFI drive, USB drive, HDMI drive, sensor drive (such as fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, touch sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), and so on.

In some embodiments, the kernel layer further comprises a power driver module for power management.

In some embodiments, software programs and/or modules corresponding to the software architecture of fig. 4 are stored in the first memory or the second memory shown in fig. 2 or 3.

In some embodiments, taking the magic mirror application (photographing application) as an example, when the remote control receiving device receives a remote control input operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is sent to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the input operation into an original input event (including information such as a value of the input operation, a timestamp of the input operation, etc.). The raw input events are stored at the kernel layer. The application program framework layer obtains an original input event from the kernel layer, identifies a control corresponding to the input event according to the current position of the focus and uses the input operation as a confirmation operation, the control corresponding to the confirmation operation is a control of a magic mirror application icon, the magic mirror application calls an interface of the application framework layer to start the magic mirror application, and then the kernel layer is called to start a camera driver, so that a static image or a video is captured through the camera.

In some embodiments, for a display device with a touch function, taking a split screen operation as an example, the display device receives an input operation (such as a split screen operation) that a user acts on a display screen, and the kernel layer may generate a corresponding input event according to the input operation and report the event to the application framework layer. The window mode (such as multi-window mode) corresponding to the input operation, the position and size of the window and the like are set by an activity manager of the application framework layer. And the window management of the application program framework layer draws a window according to the setting of the activity manager, then sends the drawn window data to the display driver of the kernel layer, and the display driver displays the corresponding application interface in different display areas of the display screen.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the application layer containing at least one application may display a corresponding icon control in the display, such as: the system comprises a live television application icon control, a video on demand application icon control, a media center application icon control, an application center icon control, a game application icon control and the like.

In some embodiments, the live television application may provide live television via different signal sources. For example, a live television application may provide television signals using input from cable television, radio broadcasts, satellite services, or other types of live television services. And, the live television application may display video of the live television signal on the display device 200.

In some embodiments, a video-on-demand application may provide video from different storage sources. Unlike live television applications, video on demand provides a video display from some storage source. For example, the video on demand may come from a server side of the cloud storage, from a local hard disk storage containing stored video programs.

In some embodiments, the media center application may provide various applications for multimedia content playback. For example, a media center, which may be other than live television or video on demand, may provide services that a user may access to various images or audio through a media center application.

In some embodiments, an application center may provide storage for various applications. The application may be a game, an application, or some other application associated with a computer system or other device that may be run on the smart television. The application center may obtain these applications from different sources, store them in local storage, and then be operable on the display device 200.

In the process of booting the display device 200, a boot advertisement is generally set, and the system of the display device 200 is prepared in the process of playing the boot advertisement. In general, the display device 200 needs to set a signal source of the display device according to an attribute value of the signal source in the process of playing the power-on advertisement. Thus, after the display device 200 plays the power-on advertisement, the signal source or the interface of the homepage of the display device 200 can be directly displayed.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the content executed at each stage in the system during the current boot advertisement playing process. As shown in fig. 6, at present, the signal source attribute value and the boot advertisement file are both stored in the data partition of the display device 200 system, and since the data partition is a native data resource partition in the system, the data partition needs to be mounted in the late period of the initialization phase after the display device 200 is booted. After the display device 200 mounts the data resource partition, the signal source attribute value is loaded from the data resource partition, then the boot advertisement file is obtained to play the boot advertisement, and in the process of playing the boot advertisement, the signal source is set according to the previously loaded signal source attribute value.

However, after the display device 200 is turned on, a kernel (kernel) start-up phase and an initialization phase need to be performed in sequence, the initialization phase is divided into an early-init (early-init), a middle-init (init) and a late-init (late-init), and each phase needs to take a certain amount of time. The starting playing speed of the start-up advertisement is an important index for measuring the starting-up performance of the display device 200, and the data partition needs to be mounted at the later stage (late-init) of the initialization stage, so that the starting playing time of the start-up advertisement is inevitably at the later stage (late-init) of the initialization stage, the starting playing speed of the start-up advertisement is slower, and the starting-up performance of the display device 200 is reduced.

Based on the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a method for improving boot performance of a display device and a display device, which avoid using a native data partition to store an advertisement resource, and advance acquisition and loading of the advertisement resource to an early stage of an initialization stage, that is, advance to early-init, so that a start-up time of a boot advertisement is reduced, a start-up speed is increased, and boot performance of the display device 200 is improved.

Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for improving the boot performance of the display device 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 7, the method for improving the boot performance of the display device 200 according to the embodiment of the present application includes:

Step S101, an advertisement resource partition is created in the display device 200, where the advertisement resource partition is used to indicate a storage location of a resource on which the boot advertisement is played.

In the embodiment of the application, the advertisement resource partition is created to replace the native data partition of the system, the native data partition must be loaded at the later stage (late-init) of the initialization stage, and the advertisement resource partition can be loaded at any stage, and compared with the data partition, the used stage is not limited to the later stage of the initialization stage.

Starting playing of the boot advertisement depends on the parameter resource and the file resource, the parameter resource is used for representing a signal source attribute value and the like, the file resource is used for representing a boot advertisement file and the like, and in the current boot process of the display device 200, the parameter resource and the file resource are both stored in the data partition.

Step S102, mounting the advertisement resource partition within a first preset time range after the display device 200 is powered on.

As shown in fig. 6, the display device 200 passes through the kernel start phase and the initialization phase after booting, and in order to enable the boot advertisement to be played as early as possible, the mount of the advertisement resource partition should be as early as possible. In the embodiment of the present application, the first preset time range may be used to indicate a time range of a kernel start phase or a time range of an initialization phase early-init (early-init).

It should be noted that, for display apparatuses 200 of different brands or models, the time ranges of the kernel start phase are not necessarily the same, and the time ranges of the early stage, the middle stage and the late stage of the initialization phase are also not necessarily the same, so the first preset time range needs to be determined according to the actually operated display apparatus 200. For example, if the time of the kernel start phase corresponding to a certain brand of display device 200 is 0-3s, if the first preset time range represents the time range of the kernel start phase, the first preset time range may be 0-3 s; for another example, if the time of the kernel start phase corresponding to a certain brand of display device 200 is 0-5s, and the time range of the initialization phase early-init is 6s-9s, the first preset time range may also be set to 6s-7 s. The specific number of seconds listed in the embodiment of the present application refers to the time counted from the time when the display device 200 is turned on, for example, 0 to 3s indicate 0 to 3 seconds after the display device 200 is turned on, and 6 to 7s indicate 6 to 7 seconds after the display device 200 is turned on.

Whether the first preset time range represents the time range of the kernel starting stage or the time range before the initialization stage, the mounting operation of the advertisement resource partition can be placed in a period of time before the display device 200 is turned on, and is not performed in the later stage of the initialization stage.

Step S103, reading the resource for playing the boot advertisement from the advertisement resource partition within a second preset time range in the initialization stage of the display device 200; the first preset time range is set before the second preset time range.

The second preset time range should also be in the early stage of the initialization stage, so as to obtain the boot advertisement resource in the early stage of the initialization stage, and still taking the foregoing as an example, the time range of the early-stage (early-init) of the initialization stage is 6s-9s, then the first preset time range may be set to 6s-7s, and the second preset time range may be set to 8s-9 s.

After the advertisement resource is acquired, the display device 200 can immediately play the advertisement, so that the start-up of the start-up advertisement can be ensured to be ahead of the early stage of the initialization stage, and compared with the start-up time of the start-up advertisement of the current display device 200, the start-up time of the start-up advertisement in the embodiment of the application is shorter. The turn-on performance of the display apparatus 200 is better.

Further, since the time ranges of the sum stages of the display apparatuses 200 of different brands or different models are not necessarily the same, the second preset time range also needs to be determined according to the actually operated display apparatus 200.

If the first preset time range represents the time range of the kernel starting phase, the second preset time range may be a time range from the beginning of the initialization phase, that is, a time range in the early period of the initialization phase; if the first predetermined time range represents a time period of the initialization phase from the start, the second predetermined time range may be a time period of the initialization phase later than the first predetermined time range. The second predetermined time range is a time range in the early period of the initialization phase, regardless of whether the first predetermined time range represents a time range in the kernel startup phase or a time range in the early period of the initialization phase. Further, the start-up advertisement of the display device 200 is ensured to be started in the early stage of the initialization stage, and the start-up time is reduced.

The advertisement resource partition comprises parameter resources and file resources, wherein the parameter resources further comprise signal source attribute values. The start-up advertisement can be played only after the signal source attribute value is obtained, and therefore, reading the signal source attribute value is a necessary condition for starting the advertisement. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the step S103 further specifically includes the following steps:

Step S201, reading a signal source attribute value from the advertisement resource partition within the second preset time range; the signal source attribute value is used to represent a parameter resource on which the signal source of the display apparatus 200 is set.

Because the second preset time range is in the early stage of the initialization stage, the loading process of reading the signal source attribute values from the advertisement resource partition is advanced from the original later stage to the early stage, and the reading speed of the signal source attribute values is improved.

Step S202, reading an advertisement file from the advertisement resource partition under the condition of acquiring the attribute value of the signal source; the advertisement file is used for representing file resources depended on when the starting-up advertisement is played.

The current display device 200 needs to read the signal source attribute value at the later stage of the initialization stage, then reads the advertisement file, and plays the corresponding advertisement according to the advertisement file. At this time, the start time of the power-on advertisement is about 10 s. In the embodiment of the application, the mounting of the advertisement resource partition and the reading of the advertisement resource are advanced, so that the starting time of the starting-up advertisement can be reduced to about 9 s.

In some embodiments, after the advertisement file is read, a corresponding boot advertisement needs to be played according to the advertisement file; and then, in the process of playing the boot advertisement, setting a corresponding signal source according to the signal source attribute value.

Generally, the signal source of the display device 200 is set during the playing process of the power-on advertisement, so that the content of the signal source can be displayed immediately after the advertisement is played. For example, the signal source attribute value obtained by the display device 200 is 513, and the signal source corresponding to 513 is dtv, then in the playing process of the power-on advertisement, the signal source is set to dtv, and the interface of the dtv can be seen on the display device 200 after the power-on advertisement is played.

As can be seen from the above, the method for improving the boot performance of the display device according to the embodiment of the present application can separately create a partition for storing the advertisement resource, and mount the advertisement resource partition first after the display device 200 is booted, so that the display device 200 can acquire the resource in the advertisement resource partition in the early stage of the initialization phase. The display device 200 is prevented from relying on the native data partition of the display device 200 system to save resources, so that the display device 200 can only obtain advertisement resources at the later stage of the initialization stage. According to the technical scheme, the acquisition of the advertisement resources and the playing of the startup advertisement can be completed in the early stage of the initialization stage of the display device 200, so that the startup time of the startup advertisement is shorter, the startup speed is higher, and the startup performance of the display device 200 is improved.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating content executed at each stage in a system during a boot advertisement playing process according to an embodiment of the present application. As described in the above embodiment, if the first preset time range represents the time range of the kernel start phase, as shown in fig. 8, the kernel start phase is actually earlier than the initialization phase, and at this time, the second preset time range represents a time range from the beginning of the initialization phase of the display device 200, that is, represents the previous period of the initialization phase.

As shown in fig. 8, in the first preset time range, the advertisement resource partition is mounted in the kernel start-up phase, then in the second preset time range of the initialization phase, the signal source attribute value is read from the advertisement resource partition first, after the signal source attribute value is obtained, the start-up advertisement playing operation is started, at this time, the advertisement file needs to be read from the advertisement resource partition first, the corresponding start-up advertisement is played according to the advertisement resource, and then the signal source is set according to the signal source attribute value in the process of playing the start-up advertisement.

The method for mounting the advertisement resource partition at the kernel starting stage and acquiring the signal source attribute value and the advertisement file at the early stage of the initialization stage can advance the step of reading the resource to the early stage of the initialization stage, and improve the starting speed of the startup advertisement.

However, the method described above has certain drawbacks, for example, if the advertisement resource partition is damaged, the kernel cannot be run by mounting the damaged advertisement resource partition during the kernel booting stage, and thus the display device 200 cannot be powered on. Therefore, in another embodiment of the present application, the mounting of the advertisement resource partition may be performed in an early stage of the initialization phase. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating executed contents at various stages in a system during a process of playing a boot advertisement according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9, the advertisement resource partition is mounted within a first preset time range after the initialization phase of the display device 200 is started, and at this time, the first preset time range represents a time range from the start of the initialization phase, that is, a previous period of the initialization phase.

As shown in fig. 9, the advertisement resource partition is mounted at an early stage of the initialization stage, then, in a second preset time range at the early stage of the initialization stage, the signal source attribute value is read from the advertisement resource partition first, after the signal source attribute value is obtained, the playing operation of the start-up advertisement is started, at this time, the advertisement file needs to be read from the advertisement resource partition first, the corresponding start-up advertisement is played according to the advertisement resource, and finally, the signal source is set according to the signal source attribute value in the process of playing the start-up advertisement.

In the method shown in fig. 9, the advertisement resource partition is mounted to the early stage of the initialization phase, and then the signal source attribute value is loaded, so that the playing operation of the boot-up advertisement can be started. Compared with the method shown in fig. 8, the method can reduce the starting time of the boot advertisement to about 9 s. However, the method shown in fig. 9 can reduce the influence of the damaged advertisement resource partition more than the method shown in fig. 8, and can ensure that the display device 200 can be normally powered on.

In addition, during the operation of the system after the display device 200 is powered on, a Mount all command is usually used to Mount each partition in the display device system. The system is usually started after the kernel is started, and Mount all is a command for automatically mounting each partition when the system is started. Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a Mount partition sequence of Mount commands according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 10, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a Mount command of Mount all may also be used to Mount an advertisement resource partition first in an initialization stage after a kernel is started, and then Mount other partitions in sequence.

The boot advertisements in the foregoing embodiments may be divided into picture advertisements and video advertisements. Whether the advertisement is a picture advertisement or a video advertisement, the advertisement file is stored in the advertisement resource partition. The advertisement resource partition is also established in the system, and the system establishes a corresponding file storage position for the advertisement resource partition. The method in the embodiment of the application uses the advertisement resource partition which is different from the data partition, so that the storage position of the advertisement file can be changed from the original/data/local/misc to the current/booted/local/misc.

As can be seen from the foregoing, in the current boot advertisement playing of the display device 200, since the data needs to be mounted and distinguished in the later stage of the initialization stage, the advertisement file and the signal source attribute value can only be obtained in the later stage of the initialization stage, and thus the boot advertisement playing time of the display device 200 is long, and the boot performance of the display device 200 is poor. The start-up time of the currently marketed display device 200 is 10s in some cases, and 11s or more than 11s in some cases. The method of the embodiment of the application can independently create a partition for storing the advertisement resource, and mount the advertisement resource partition first after the display device 200 is started, so that the display device 200 can acquire the resource in the advertisement resource partition in the early stage of the initialization stage, the starting time of the starting advertisement is shorter, the starting speed is higher, and the starting performance of the display device is improved. The display device 200 is prevented from relying on the native data partition of the display device 200 system to save resources, so that the display device 200 can only obtain advertisement resources at the later stage of the initialization stage. In the actual operation process, the method of the embodiment of the application is adopted to play the startup advertisement, so that the starting time of the startup advertisement can be reduced to about 9 s.
