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 resources in the system and obtain the services 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 (Activity Manager) is used for interacting 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 (Notification Manager) 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 some scenarios, if a user wants to continue to watch a certain broadcast television program or review a certain broadcast television program, the user needs to remember the program name of the broadcast television program, then switch the signal source of the display device from the broadcast signal channel to the network signal channel through a series of operations, so that the display device displays the network television page, and then search the network resource of the broadcast television program on the network based on the search function provided by the network television page through a series of operations and with the program name of the broadcast television program as a search keyword. Therefore, the process needs a great number of user operations, is difficult to operate, is not suitable for all users, and is not favorable for user experience.

To solve the above problem, in some embodiments, when playing a broadcast television program, the display device obtains the network playing information of the target program by running a specified service in the background, and stores the network playing information, such as obtaining the network playing information of the last program, the current program and/or the next program played. The user can instruct the display device to display the network playing information of the target program through preset user input when the display device plays the broadcast television program, the display device displays the network playing information of the target program stored in advance after receiving the preset user input, and the network playing information is used for showing the network resource condition of the target program to the user, such as program updating progress, and also can be used for enabling the display device to jump to a network playing page corresponding to the target program according to a playing address contained in the network playing information, and the user can continue to watch or review the broadcast television program on the network playing page.

In some possible implementations, the display device obtains the program name of the target program from the received broadcast signal by running a specified service in the background, for example, obtaining an EIT table from the received broadcast signal and directly obtaining the program name of the target program from the EIT table, or obtaining an SDT table from the received broadcast signal, obtaining a current channel name from the SDT table, searching a program list of a current channel according to the current channel name, and obtaining the program name of the target program from the program list. And then, acquiring the network playing information of the target program from the network server according to the program name of the target program.

In some embodiments, in order not to affect the user's viewing of the broadcast television program (i.e., the program content displayed based on the data received by the broadcast signal channel), the display device continues to play the broadcast television program while displaying the network play information corresponding to the target program in response to the preset user input.

Fig. 6 is a depiction of one possible user interface presented in some embodiments by the present application, particularly a broadcast television program picture displayed by received data based on a broadcast signal. As shown in fig. 6, the current channel is "beijing satellite television", and the current program is "song by song (15)". When the broadcast television program is played, a user may input a preset user input in various forms such as a key, voice, or gesture, for example, pressing a "right" direction key on a remote controller to instruct a display device to display network playing information corresponding to a current program.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a possible user interface shown in some embodiments of the present application, which is specifically a user interface displayed when preset user input is received while the broadcast television program shown in fig. 6 is played. As shown in fig. 7, in the user interface, the broadcast television program is continuously played in the video playback window 710, a program option bar 720 is displayed on the upper layer of the video playback window, and network playback information of the current program, i.e., "song", is displayed in the program option bar 720.

In some embodiments, the network playing information corresponding to the target program includes a program picture (e.g., a cover picture, a thumbnail of a program poster) and a program name of the target program, and may further include update progress information of the target program on the network, such as an update to the episode. Referring to fig. 7, in the program option bar 720, a program picture of the current program "song" is displayed, a program name "song" is displayed on the upper layer of the program picture, and network update progress information "35 album" is displayed above the program name. Through the program option bar, the user can know the network resource condition of the program, such as whether the program can be played on the network, updated to the episode on the network, and the like.

The above example shows a possible implementation scenario of a target program, specifically a current program played by a display device. It should be understood that the target program may also be the last program played by the display device and/or the next program to be played.

In some embodiments, after the display device starts to play the broadcast television program, it may only obtain the network playing information corresponding to the current program, and if the network playing information corresponding to the current program is successfully obtained, after receiving a preset user input, only display the network playing information corresponding to the program.

In other embodiments, after the display device starts playing the broadcast television program, it may acquire network playing information corresponding to a plurality of programs, where the plurality of programs may include a plurality of historical programs and/or a plurality of future programs, such as a last program, a current program, a next program, and the like, played by the display device. And after receiving the input of the preset user, preferentially displaying the network playing information corresponding to the current program. For example, if the network playing information of the current program and the other programs is acquired, the network playing information of the current program and the other programs is displayed at the same time when the preset user input is received, and if the network playing information of the current program is not acquired and the network playing information of the other programs is acquired, the network playing information of the other programs is displayed when the preset user input is received.
