In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The following describes an application resource sharing method provided in an embodiment of the present application:

turning to fig. 7, a flowchart of application resource sharing in accordance with some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 7. The execution main body of the process shown in fig. 7 may be an application content caching module included in the controller of the display device, and then

As shown in fig. 7, the process may include the following steps:

step 101, obtaining a first application resource data packet carried by a code stream, and analyzing the first application resource data packet to obtain a broadcast application identifier list, an application number and an application resource file.

In this embodiment, the first application resource packet is named for convenience of distinguishing from the following application resource packets, and is not used to limit a certain application resource packet.

In the ATSC3.0 interactive application, a broadcast application may obtain an application resource required by the application from an application resource cache module storing the application resource by sending a resource request to Webserver. Based on this, as an embodiment, in response to an operation of switching channels by a user, a first application resource packet carried by a code stream is acquired.

The controller of the display device may further include an atsc3.0 core module, and as an embodiment, a specific implementation manner of obtaining the first application resource packet carried by the code stream may be: the application cache management module can register a callback function of the arrival of the application resource file with the atsc3.0 core module, so that when a first application resource data packet carried by the code stream arrives, the atsc3.0 core module can download the first application resource data packet and send the first application resource data packet to the application cache management module, and thus, the application cache management module obtains the first application resource data packet carried by the code stream.

The broadcast application identifier in the broadcast application identifier list is an identifier for distinguishing each application.

The number of applications refers to the number of broadcast applications, and the number of applications may be at least one. When the number of the applications is one, the application resource files can be stored in the directory corresponding to the application according to the prior art, so that the application can start the resource files.

The application resource file comprises at least one. When there is one application resource file, it means that each application in the first application resource packet will start the application resource file. When the number of the application resource files is more than one, it indicates that each application in the first application resource packet will start at least one application resource file in the first application resource packet.

Step 102, if the number of the applications is greater than 1, establishing a sharing subdirectory for storing each application resource file and an exclusive subdirectory corresponding to each application in the broadcast application identifier list under a preset memory root directory according to the broadcast application identifier list, so that each application shares the application resource file under the sharing subdirectory through the corresponding exclusive subdirectory.

In this embodiment, if the number of applications is greater than 1, it means that there are a plurality of broadcast applications that may commonly access the same application resource file.

Illustratively, assume that the broadcast application includes application a1, application a2, and application A3, and the application resource files include application resource file B1 and application resource file B2. Then application a1 needs to start the application resource in application resource B1 and the application resource in application resource file B2, application a2 needs to start the application resource in application resource B2, and application A3 needs to start the application resource in application resource B1, which means that both application a1 and application A3 need to start application resource file B1, and both application a1 and application a2 need to start application resource file B2.

As an embodiment, the dedicated subdirectory corresponding to each application may be established according to the unique identifier of each application in the broadcast application identifier list.

In this embodiment, each application in the broadcast application identifier list corresponds to an exclusive subdirectory belonging to the application, but no application resource file is stored under the exclusive subdirectory. Each application resource file is stored in one sharing subdirectory, so that each application accesses the application resource under the application resource file in the sharing subdirectory through the exclusive subdirectory.

The root directory of the memory Cache is a pre-established directory specially used for storing interactive application resources.

As an embodiment, the establishing a shared subdirectory for storing each application resource file and an exclusive subdirectory corresponding to each application in the broadcast application identifier list under the preset memory root directory may be implemented by:

establishing a sharing subdirectory and an exclusive subdirectory corresponding to each application under a preset memory root directory, establishing a lower subdirectory corresponding to each application resource file under the sharing subdirectory, and storing each application resource file under the corresponding lower subdirectory.

In this embodiment, a plurality of subordinate subdirectories exist under one sharing subdirectory, and for each subordinate subdirectory, an application resource file corresponding to the subordinate subdirectory is stored under the subordinate subdirectory, and it can be seen that the number of the subordinate subdirectories and the number of the application resource files are the same, and the subordinate subdirectories and the application resource files are in one-to-one correspondence.

Illustratively, the sharing subdirectory is C, and a lower subdirectory C1 and a lower subdirectory C2 are located under the sharing subdirectory, so that the application resource file a1 is stored under C1, the application resource file a2 is stored under C2, and the path of the application resource file a1 is "C/C1". The path of the application resource file A2 is "C/C2", and therefore, each application resource file corresponds to a unique path for storing the application resource file.

Therefore, in the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, each application resource file corresponds to one path, so that the broadcast application can easily obtain the required application resources from the shared subdirectory through the own exclusive subdirectory.

As an embodiment, a specific implementation manner of creating a lower-level subdirectory corresponding to each application resource file under the sharing subdirectory may include: and according to the relative URI attribute of each application resource file, creating a lower subdirectory corresponding to each application resource file under the shared subdirectory. Therefore, the unique subordinate subdirectory corresponding to each application resource file can be quickly and automatically created.

It should be clear that, there are many specific implementation manners of sharing the application resource file under the sharing subdirectory by the corresponding dedicated subdirectory for each application, which is not limited in this application embodiment, and here, the application provides an implementation manner, which is specifically: and softly linking all subordinate subdirectories under the shared subdirectory and the application resource files under the subordinate subdirectories to the exclusive subdirectories.

The soft link in this embodiment is also called symbolic link, as an embodiment, a command ln-s source dest of the linux system can be used to establish the soft link, and the command can link a source directory or a file to a destdirect directory, so that the source content can be accessed in the destdirect directory, the effect is equivalent to copying, but no space is occupied, and the effect is similar to a shortcut in windows.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 8, the broadcast application identifier list contextIDlist of the application resource Package1 includes application identifiers BaseURIB and BaseURIB, and it can be seen that the number of applications in the application data Package is greater than 1, that is, the application resource files in the Package1 are to be shared by the respective applications corresponding to BaseURIB and BaseURIB, based on which, a shared directory AB of the Package1 is created, and, according to creating the respective dedicated subdirectories corresponding to the respective applications, which are denoted as BaseURIB and BaseURIB, and then, according to the respective relative URI attributes corresponding to the respective application resource files in the Package1, it is assumed that there is only one application resource file in the Package1, and the relative URI attribute of the application resource file is "10/2/main. Html is stored under the subordinate subdirectory, and finally all files under the shared directory AB and the respective corresponding subordinate subdirectories are softly linked into BaseURIA and BaseURIB. Thus, for the application BaseURIA, its Entry Page has a path "BaseURI a/10/2/main. Html, the path of the Entry Page of the application BaseURI B/10/2 in the file system.

As can be seen from this, in the technical solution provided by the flow shown in fig. 7, for the case that multiple applications share the same application resource, that is, the number of applications is greater than 1, a sharing subdirectory for storing each application resource file is established under a preset memory root directory according to the broadcast application identifier list, and each application in the broadcast application identifier list has a corresponding dedicated subdirectory, so that each application shares the application resource file under the sharing subdirectory according to the corresponding dedicated subdirectory. Therefore, the application resource to be started by the application is not required to be stored under the exclusive subdirectory corresponding to each application, but all application resource files are stored under the sharing subdirectory, so that each application accesses the application resource files under the sharing subdirectory shared with the exclusive subdirectory through the exclusive subdirectory of each application, and meanwhile, the situation that each application needs to store the application resource corresponding to the application does not exist. Therefore, by applying the technical scheme provided by the application, the starting speed of the application can be improved on the basis of saving cache space resources.

To this end, the entire flow in fig. 7 has been completed.

After the entire process in fig. 7 has been completed, as an embodiment, when the first application in the first application resource packet is deleted, the method may further include the following steps:

deleting the dedicated subdirectory and the shared subdirectory if it is determined that the application resource file is not shared by the remaining applications in the first application resource packet.

In this embodiment, the first application is merely referred to as a name, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this, and the first application may be any application in the first application resource packet.

The first application may be the application deleted last in the first application resource packet, or may not be the application deleted last in the first application resource packet. In addition, the remaining applications refer to applications other than the first application in the first application resource packet.

When the first application is deleted and the rest of the applications are not sharing the application resource file, it means that each application in the application resource packet is deleted, and here, in order to save the cache space resources, both the sharing subdirectory and the exclusive subdirectory office are deleted.

It should be clear that, if the application resource file is stored under the sharing subdirectory, deleting the sharing subdirectory means deleting all the sharing subdirectory and all the directories or files under the sharing subdirectory, such as the lower subdirectory and the application resource files under each lower subdirectory.

In addition, if the remaining applications are deleted, the exclusive subdirectory corresponding to each of the remaining applications is also deleted, on such a premise, the deletion of the exclusive subdirectory refers to the deletion of the exclusive subdirectory of the first application; if the remaining applications are deleted, the dedicated subdirectories corresponding to the remaining applications are not deleted, and on such a premise, deleting the dedicated subdirectories refers to deleting the dedicated subdirectories corresponding to the applications in the first application resource packet.

It can be seen that, in the technical solution provided in this embodiment of the application, when the first application in the first application resource packet is deleted and the application resource file is not shared by the remaining applications in the first application resource packet, the dedicated subdirectory and the shared subdirectory are deleted, which can further save cache space resources.

After all the processes in fig. 7 have been completed, as another embodiment, after each application shares an application resource file under the above-mentioned sharing subdirectory through the corresponding exclusive subdirectory, the following steps may be further included:

when it is determined that a second application resource packet carried by a code stream is the first application resource packet, if the first application resource packet has a deleted second application, restoring the previously deleted exclusive subdirectory corresponding to the second application, so that the second application shares an application resource file under the shared subdirectory according to the corresponding exclusive subdirectory.

In this embodiment, the second application resource packet is named for convenience of description, and is not specific to a fixed application resource packet.

The second application resource packet and the first application resource packet may be the same resource packet or may not be the same resource packet. When the data packets are the same resource data packet, as an embodiment, the application deleted from the first application resource data packet may be determined by comparing the first application resource data packet with the second application resource data packet, for example, comparing the broadcast application identifier list in the first application resource data packet with the broadcast application identifier list in the second application resource data packet.

When the second application is deleted, the dedicated subdirectory corresponding to the second application is also deleted, and therefore, in this embodiment, the previously deleted dedicated subdirectory corresponding to the second application needs to be recovered.

It should be clear that, if there is no deleted second application in the first application resource packet, each application in the second application resource packet may access the application resource file under the shared subdirectory in the first application resource packet according to the dedicated subdirectory corresponding to each application in the first application resource packet.

It can be seen that, in the technical solution provided in this embodiment of the application, when it is determined that the second application resource packet carried by the code stream is the same resource packet as the first application resource packet, if the first application resource packet has a deleted second application, it is not necessary to establish a path for each application and application resource file in the second application resource packet again, but only the deleted dedicated subdirectory corresponding to the second application is recovered, so that each application in the second application resource packet can quickly start an application resource file to be started by each application, and further the starting speed of the application can be further increased.

Referring to fig. 9, a flow diagram of a caching method according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 9. The execution subject of the flow shown in fig. 9 may be the display device described above.

As shown in fig. 9, the process may include the following steps:

step 201, obtaining a first application resource packet carried by the code stream, and analyzing the first application resource packet to obtain a broadcast application identifier list, an application number and an application resource file.

Step 202, if the number of the applications is greater than 1, establishing a sharing subdirectory and an exclusive subdirectory corresponding to each application under a preset memory root directory according to the broadcast application identifier list, creating a lower subdirectory corresponding to each application resource file under the sharing subdirectory, storing each application resource file under the corresponding lower subdirectory, and softly linking all the lower subdirectories under the sharing subdirectory and the application resource files under each lower subdirectory to each exclusive subdirectory.

Step 203, when the first application in the first application resource packet is deleted, and if it is determined that the application resource file is not shared by the remaining applications in the first application resource packet, deleting the dedicated subdirectory and the shared subdirectory.

And 204, when it is determined that the second application resource packet carried by the code stream is the first application resource packet, if the first application resource packet has a deleted second application, restoring the previously deleted exclusive subdirectory corresponding to the second application, so that the second application shares the application resource file under the shared subdirectory according to the corresponding exclusive subdirectory.

It can be seen that in the technical solution provided by the flow shown in fig. 9, the dedicated subdirectory corresponding to each application does not need to store the application resource to be started by the application, but all the application resource files are stored in the shared subdirectory under the lower subdirectory corresponding to each application resource file, so that each application accesses the application resource file under the shared subdirectory sharing the soft link with the dedicated subdirectory through its own dedicated subdirectory. Therefore, the situation that each application needs to store the application resource corresponding to the application does not exist, and thus, after the application resource file is stored according to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the application only needs to quickly start the application resource to be started by the application under the soft-linked shared subdirectory through the corresponding exclusive subdirectory. Meanwhile, under the condition that all applications in the first application resource packet are deleted, the dedicated subdirectory and the shared subdirectory are deleted, so that the buffer space resources can be further saved, and meanwhile, under the condition that the application resource packet identical to the previous application resource packet is obtained, the deleted dedicated subdirectory corresponding to the previous deleted application is only recovered without establishing a path for all applications and application resource files in the new application resource packet, so that all applications in the new application resource packet can quickly start the application resource files to be started, and further the starting speed of the applications can be further improved.

To this end, the entire flow in fig. 9 has been completed.
