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 exemplary embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and 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, multiple paths of 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 first chip firstly decodes and processes the received audio and video data to obtain audio data and video data. In response to the audio data being in the AC4 format, the first chip sends the audio data to the second chip through the network port and sends the video data to the second chip through the second port. Otherwise, the first chip sends the audio data and the video data to the second chip through a second port.

The first chip further 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; and the first chip sends an audio code stream corresponding to the audio data to the second chip through the first channel.

It should be understood that the terms "first," "second," "third," and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances and can be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein with respect to the embodiments of the application, for example.

Furthermore, the terms "comprises" and "comprising," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or device that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to those elements explicitly listed, but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such product or device.

Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit the same; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and these modifications or substitutions do not depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
