Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the exemplary embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the exemplary embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described exemplary embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

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).

Optionally, the different view display areas are presented with different priorities, and the display priorities of the view display areas are different among the view display areas with different priorities.

Since the a-chip and the N-chip may have independent operating systems installed therein, there are two independent but interrelated subsystems in the display device 200. For example, Android and various APPs can be independently installed on the chip a and the chip N, so that each chip can realize a certain function, and the chip a and the chip N cooperatively realize a certain function.

In the current chat situation, because the sound of the chat in the video window and the sound of the program played by the television are in conflict, when the played sound is not very different, the interaction of the user is interfered, and therefore the user wants to highlight the sound of the chat in the scene.

Therefore, a sound processing method is urgently needed to solve the problem of sound conflict in the scene of chatting while looking, and provide good user experience for users.

In order to solve the foregoing technical problem, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application shows a sound processing method, and specifically, referring to fig. 8, the method shown in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

s101, detecting a chat sound corresponding to the chat application by a second chip;

the chat sound includes: the voice received through the voice entry module of the display device and the opposite-end voice received from the opposite end and required to be output from the speaker, which is output by the chat application.

The detecting of the chat sound corresponding to the chat application comprises: and detecting the sound received by the sound recording module and/or detecting the opposite-end sound output to a loudspeaker by the chat application.

And the chat application outputs the opposite-end sound of the loudspeaker and the sound of the audio and video to the loudspeaker to be played through the loudspeaker at the same time. Therefore, the audio and video sound may interfere with the opposite end sound output to the speaker by the chat application. In this case, it is necessary to reduce the audio and video sounds so that the user can better receive the opposite-end sound output by the chat application to the speaker.

S102 the second chip responds to the input audio and determines the input port of the current audio and video.

And when the second chip detects the chat sound, triggering the second chip to determine the input port of the audio and video at the moment. Wherein, the input port of audio frequency and video includes: the display device comprises a first port connected with the first chip and a second port connected with the exterior of the display device.

And the first port (also referred to as a first port in the application) is connected with the first chip and is used for receiving the sound of the audio and video transmitted by the third-party application installed on the first chip. In a feasible embodiment, the first port connected to the first chip may be a USB port (Universal Serial Bus) or an HDMI port (High Definition Multimedia Interface). And a first port connected with the first chip sends audio and video to the second chip. The HDMI port mainly sends audio and video signals received by a third-party application installed on the first chip to the second chip, and the audio and video signals comprise: network video signals, network audio data, image information collected by a camera, and the like. The signal received by the first chip is transmitted to the second chip through the HDMIO, and it should be noted that in the technical solution shown in the embodiment of the present application, the HDMI port is not open to the user. The USB is mainly used for transmitting the image data of the camera to the second chip through the USB.

And a second port (also referred to as a second port in this application) externally connected to the display device for receiving the audio-video data. In a feasible embodiment, the second chip is connected with the external set-top box through the second port. The second port may be an AV composite Video port, an S-terminal port (independent Video terminal port), a color difference port, a VGA port (Video Graphics Array, Video transmission standard port), a DVI port (Digital Video Interface), an HDMI port, or the like. And audio and video signals received by the external set top box are transmitted to the second chip through the second port.

And responding to the input port connected with the first chip, executing S103, sending feedback information to the first chip by the second chip, wherein the feedback information is used for indicating the first chip to reduce the volume of the audio and video sent to the second chip so as to reduce the output volume of the loudspeaker.

The second chip also comprises a communication port different from the port for inputting the audio and video, and a connecting channel between the first chip and the second chip comprises a first channel passing through the communication port; the sending, by the second chip, the feedback information to the first chip includes: and the second chip sends feedback information to the first chip through the first channel.

The communication interface may be a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter), the first channel is a communication channel formed by connecting UART interfaces, and the second chip sends feedback information to the first chip through the first channel.

The communication interface may also be connected via a network interface. And the second chip sends feedback information to the first chip through the network channel.

And in response to that the input port is a second port, executing S104 to reduce the volume of the received audio and video by a second chip so as to reduce the output volume of the loudspeaker.

Therefore, in the technical scheme shown in the embodiment of the application, the audio and video received by the second chip include the audio and video transmitted by the first chip through the first port and the audio and video transmitted by the external set-top box through the second port. In order to prevent the audio and video sound from influencing the input voice of the user in the process of chatting, the user is required to reduce the audio and video sound in the process of chatting, but the technical scheme shown in the embodiment of the application needs to determine the audio and video source and reduce the audio and video sound in a targeted manner because the number of the video sources is two.

The following describes the method of the embodiment of the present application in detail with reference to specific application scenarios.

In the process that a user watches videos independently, the user selects a corresponding signal source according to the requirement, for example: if the user wants to watch the live television, the second chip signal source can be switched to the second port. At the moment, the second chip receives the audio and video transmitted by the set top box through the second port. For another example, if the user wants to watch the network television, the signal source can be switched to the first port, and at this time, the second chip receives the audio and video transmitted by the first chip through the first port.

And the second chip receives the audio and video in real time under the condition that the user normally watches the video. When the user enters a chat-while-watching scenario (i.e., the communication function is enabled while watching the video), the second chip detects the input audio corresponding to the instant messaging function and input by the microphone. In response to detecting the input audio, the second chip determines an input port of the current audio and video, and meanwhile, receives chat voice information (which may also be referred to as input audio) input by a user.

The triggering of the communication function may be in response to the activation of a wakeup word, for example, a user may speak a wakeup word before activating the chat function, and the communication function is activated. The second chip starts to receive the chat voice information input by the user or the chat voice information of the user sent by other terminals. The triggering of the communication function may also be in response to a communication function initiated by a user via a remote control. For example, if the user wants to chat, the user presses a corresponding key on the remote controller, and at this time, the remote controller sends a chat start signal to the second chip. The second chip starts to receive chat voice information input by a user or chat voice information sent by other terminals.

The second chip, in response to detecting the input audio, determines a port to which a signal source of audio data is connected. In the technical solution shown in the embodiment of the present application, the port connected to the audio/video signal source may be a first port connected to the first chip, or may be a second port connected to an external electromechanical box.

(1) And if the signal source is connected with the second port, the second chip reduces the volume of the received audio and video.

Specifically, the process of turning down the volume of the wired audio data is as follows: the second chip reduces the front-end gain value of the second port.

The gain value is the degree to which the current, voltage or power of an electrical component, circuit, device or system is increased. The gain is reduced, and the current, voltage or power of the electrical element, circuit, equipment or system is reduced. Specifically, when the second chip reduces the gain value of the front end of the second port, the decibel value of the audio and video output by the second chip is reduced correspondingly. At the moment, the user carries out video chat, and the sound of the audio and video does not generate certain interference to the user.

Optionally, the embodiment of the present application shows that the technical solution further includes a fault tolerance mechanism. For example, if the user has finished the chat state, the video sound of the tv is always in a low decibel state, which may cause a bad experience for the user. According to the technical scheme shown in the embodiment of the application, the second chip counts the time length of the chat voice message which is not received in real time, and if the time length is greater than the preset time threshold, the fact that the user finishes the chat state is proved. In this case, the second chip recovers the input amplitude of the signal source, i.e. the gain value of the front end of the second port is adjusted back to the default value.

The technical scheme shown in the embodiment of the application can judge whether the user finishes the chat state in a polling mode. Specifically, the second chip judges whether the second chip has chat voice information input every a first preset time interval, and if the results of two polling times are that the chat voice information is not received, the second chip proves that the user carelessly sends a chat starting signal or the user finishes the chat state. At this time, the second chip recovers the input amplitude of the signal source, i.e., the gain value at the front end of the second port is adjusted back to the default value.

(2) If the signal source is connected with a port connected with a first chip; the second chip sends feedback information to the first chip, and the feedback information is used for indicating the first chip to reduce the volume of the audio and video sent to the second chip.

The following is a detailed description of how the first chip adjusts the volume according to the volume-down feedback information after receiving the feedback information.

In a feasible embodiment, when a user watches a network television, the first chip receives APP transmission audio and video data in real time, wherein the audio and video data comprise original audio and video data, and the first chip generates processed audio data after performing audio mixing processing on the original audio data and sends the processed audio data to the second chip.

Specifically, the original audio data transmitted by the APP needs to be processed on the first chip in a series of processes to generate processed audio data, and the specific processing process refers to fig. 9. As shown in fig. 9, the network video App writes original audio data into the AudioMixer through the AudioTrack port to mix, and performs algorithm mixing according to the decibel value (Db) of the original audio data sent by the App and the track volume default gain value, the stream volume alias default gain value, and the master volume default gain value corresponding to the App in the AudioMixer mixing process. The adjusted processed audio data is sent to the hardware device for output through the AudioHAL layer.

According to the technical scheme, the decibel value of the processed audio data can be reduced before the processed audio data are transmitted to the second chip.

Specifically, if the first chip receives the volume-down feedback information sent by the second chip, the first chip directly adjusts the corresponding parameter according to the volume-down feedback information. Wherein turning down the volume feedback information comprises: one or more combinations of a track volume adjusting gain value, a stream volume alias adjusting gain value and a master volume adjusting gain value; the track volume adjusting gain value is smaller than the track volume default gain value, and the track volume adjusting gain value is smaller than the track volume default gain value; the stream volume adjustment gain value is smaller than the stream volume default gain value; the stream volume alias adjustment gain value is smaller than the stream volume alias default gain value; the master volume adjustment gain value is less than the master volume adjustment gain value.

In the technical scheme shown in the embodiment of the application, the first chip is an Android system, wherein each APP installed in the first chip supports 10 StreamType in the Android system, and each StreamType corresponds to one stream volume and each stream volume can adjust the volume value of the audio data corresponding to the stream volume by adjusting the gain value.

Alternatively, 10 streams may be divided into groups according to the relevance of the stream volumes. A specific grouping rule may be that streams belonging to the same group have the same alias (alias). Each set of streams corresponds to one volume adjustment slider having one stream volume alias. The adjustment of the volume value of the audio data corresponding to the stream volume alias can be realized by adjusting the gain value of the stream volume alias.

Each APP corresponds to one track volume, and the adjustment of the volume value of the audio data corresponding to the APP is realized through the adjustment of the gain value of the track volume.

In the embodiment of the present application, the setting of the master volume gain value is equivalent to the common setting of the stream volume gain value and the track volume gain value. The master volume gain value can be written into the sound card to control the volume of all sounds. It is also possible not to write into the sound card but to influence all the volumes as a multiplier factor.
