With the increasing demand of users on application experience, the requirements on various performance indexes of an operating system in the display device are increased, and the setting of a dual system on the display device becomes possible. In dual systems, some applications need to exist in both systems separately in order to perform a specific function. These applications need to interact across the system, work in coordination with each other, and perform tasks together. During interaction, the applications which are matched with each other need to communicate with each other, and exchange information, data and method calls with each other.

For dual-system applications which need to be mutually matched to complete a specific function during upgrading, when the application at the other end starts upgrading, part or all functions of the application at the home end are not available any more, and two applications respectively existing in two systems can not communicate with each other until the upgrading is completed, so that a certain function is coordinately completed. However, when one end of the dual system application is upgraded, the other end of the dual system application cannot know that the end application is being upgraded, and if the user operates the display device to implement a certain function corresponding to the dual system application, a situation that the dual system application cannot respond may occur.

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).

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.

As the use requirements of users change continuously, the system built in the display device and the applications in the system need to be upgraded continuously to meet the requirements of users.

Many functions in the dual system need two chips to be matched and completed, namely, a certain specific function is completed, two mainboards are required to be respectively provided with an apk, and the two apks are matched and completed. In this embodiment, the two chips are a first hardware system (a card) and a second hardware system (N card), respectively. For example, the interface of the wechat internet television function in the display device needs to access data of a video APP and a member center, and the video APP and the member center are configured on the a card, so the interface end of the wechat internet television function is arranged on the a card. The N card is a main network end connected with an external network, the A card is a network connected through network sharing, the mobile phone end needs to push videos at the same network end, and due to network limitation, the push end is configured on the N card. Therefore, in order to complete the function of the WeChat Internet television, the A card and the N card are required to be matched, WechatTV _ A on the A card is mainly responsible for displaying an interface, WechatTV _ N on the N card is mainly used for completing the pushing processing of a mobile phone end, and the result is transmitted to the A end for displaying.

Sometimes, two applications on two chips are needed to cooperate to complete one function in the display device, such as WechatTV _ a on the a card and WechatTV _ N on the N card, and two applications are needed to cooperate to complete the wechat interconnection television function. If the application on one chip is upgraded, the other chip cannot know, for example, if WechatTV _ N is upgraded and the a card is unknown, the user enters the a card and pushes the video on the mobile phone. However, since the push terminal function is implemented in the N card and WechatTV _ N is being upgraded, the push instruction sent by the user cannot be received, and the response to the a-terminal interface cannot be made, so that the user feels that the function is unavailable.

Therefore, in order to enable a user to know the upgrade state when the application on one of the chips is upgraded and to know the upgrade state of the application on the opposite terminal when the application of the dual system is upgraded, and to enable prompt accuracy when the application of the dual system is upgraded, in the embodiment, a dual system upgrade control system is established. The dual-system upgrading control system detects the upgrading state of the dual systems in real time, and displays a corresponding upgrading interface when application upgrading exists in a certain system or when application upgrading exists in both the dual systems so as to prompt a user that the system application does not trigger the application when upgrading, and avoid the situation that the function is unavailable.

As shown in fig. 8, the dual system upgrade control system 500 is connected to the first hardware system 210(a card) and the second hardware system 310(N card), respectively.

When a user clicks a certain application, the user enters a dual-system upgrading control system, the dual-system upgrading control system checks the upgrading state of the application in the dual system, if upgrading exists, an upgrading interface is displayed, and if upgrading does not exist, the user normally enters the application. In order to more clearly illustrate the control of the dual-system upgrade control system on the dual-system application upgrade interface display, the embodiment of the invention provides a control method for the dual-system application upgrade interface display, so as to control the dual-system application upgrade process and avoid confusion.

Specifically, the control method includes the steps of:

When a user clicks a certain application on the display equipment through the remote controller, the dual-system upgrading control system is triggered preferentially, and the dual-system upgrading control system detects the upgrading state of the application in the dual system at the same time, namely the application upgrading information of the first hardware system and the application upgrading information of the second hardware system.

S2, generating a dual-system upgrade list according to the application upgrade information of the first hardware system and the application upgrade information of the second hardware system; the dual system upgrade list includes applications that need to be upgraded in the first hardware system and the second hardware system.

After the dual-system upgrade control system finishes the application upgrade state detection of the dual systems, the applications to be upgraded need to be collected into a dual-system upgrade list, so that the corresponding applications can be upgraded conveniently. At this time, because some applications in the dual system need to cooperate with each other to complete the corresponding functions of the display device, and some applications can be operated independently to realize the corresponding functions of the display device, in order to facilitate the control of the display of the upgrade interface when upgrading the single system application and the dual system application, when establishing the dual system upgrade list, it is necessary to determine whether the application is the dual system application or the single system application, and establish the dual system upgrade list according to the single system application and the dual system application.

The single-system application refers to an application which can realize one function of the display device by independently running in a certain system, and the application is only configured in one system; the dual system application refers to an application that needs to be operated in cooperation with each other to realize one function of the display device, wherein one application is configured in one system and the other application is configured in the other system. The applications to be upgraded in the first hardware system (a card) and the second hardware system (N card) included in the dual system upgrade list may be single system applications or dual system applications.

The dual-system upgrade control system provided in this embodiment summarizes the upgrade status information of the dual-system applications into an upgrade list, determines whether an application in the upgrade list is an application existing in both dual systems, and only puts the application into the final dual-system upgrade list if the application in the upgrade list is not an application existing in both dual systems; on the contrary, if the application is an application existing in both systems, the home terminal and the opposite terminal need to be added to the upgrade list at the same time, and the two applications need to be bound.

FIG. 10 illustrates a data flow diagram for generating a dual system upgrade list according to an embodiment; a flow diagram of a method of generating a dual system upgrade list according to an embodiment is illustrated in fig. 11.

Specifically, referring to fig. 10 and 11, in this embodiment, the dual system upgrade control system generates a dual system upgrade list according to the application upgrade information of the first hardware system and the application upgrade information of the second hardware system according to the following steps:

s21, summarizing the application upgrading information of the first hardware system and the application upgrading information of the second hardware system into an upgrading list; the upgrade list includes applications that need to be upgraded.

After the dual-system upgrade control system finishes detecting the upgrade state of the applications in the dual systems, application upgrade state information of each system is collected, an upgrade list is determined, and the applications in the upgrade list are the applications needing to be upgraded, and can be single-system applications or dual-system applications.

The upgrading list comprises all the applications needing to be upgraded in the dual system, and the applications can be added into the upgrading list after the dual system control system detects the upgrading.

S22, traversing the upgrade list, and judging whether the target application in the upgrade list is a dual-system application; the dual system application refers to an application of a first hardware system and an application of a second hardware system used in cooperation with each other.

And S23, if the target application is a dual-system application, adding the application of the first hardware system and the application of the second hardware system into the upgrade list to form a dual-system upgrade list.

And determining an application needing to be upgraded in the upgrading list as a target application, and judging whether the target application is a dual-system application. And when the target application is judged to be the dual-system application, namely the application exists in the first hardware system and the second hardware system at the same time, adding the application corresponding to the first hardware system and the application corresponding to the second hardware system into the upgrading list so as to obtain the dual-system upgrading list by updating.

The applications which need to be used in cooperation with each other are configured in advance by the system background, and an association relationship is established between the two applications, that is, for example, when it is determined whether the a card application a is a dual-system application, if the application a has an association relationship with the N card application N, it is determined that the application a is a dual-system application, and both the application a in the a card and the application N in the N card are added to the upgrade list. And after finishing judging whether the other applications in the upgrading list are dual-system application processes, obtaining a dual-system upgrading list.

And S24, if the target application is not the dual-system application, adding the target application into the upgrade list to form a dual-system upgrade list.

However, if it is determined that the target application is not a dual-system application but a single-system application, only the application needs to be added to the upgrade list to obtain a dual-system upgrade list. For example, when determining whether the a card application a is a dual system application, if the application a does not have other applications associated therewith, it may be determined that the application a is not a dual system application but a single system application, and at this time, the application a in the a card is added to the upgrade list to obtain a dual system upgrade list.

In this embodiment, the dual-system upgrade list is determined, which of a single-system application and a dual-system application is to be upgraded can be determined, and which of the systems to be upgraded is to be upgraded can be determined, so that the accuracy of the dual-system upgrade control system in controlling the display of the upgrade interface can be ensured.

And S3, generating an upgrade prompt interface when upgrading the application in the dual-system upgrade list according to the user operation instruction.

And the user operates the display equipment to generate a user operation instruction, and the user operation instruction is used for realizing the upgrading process of the application in the dual-system upgrading list. When some application in the display equipment needs to be upgraded, the dual-system upgrade control system generates an upgrade prompt interface and displays the upgrade prompt interface according to an operation object of application upgrade.

And S4, determining a system generating the user operation instruction, and displaying the upgrade prompt interface on the system generating the user operation instruction.

In this embodiment, when the dual-system upgrade control system displays the upgrade prompting interface, the display is performed based on the system operated by the user requesting application upgrade, that is, based on the system for generating the user operation instruction, the upgrade prompting interface is displayed on the system for generating the user operation instruction. The user operation instruction refers to an instruction for controlling the application to be upgraded.

A flow diagram of a method of displaying an upgrade prompt interface according to an embodiment is illustrated in fig. 12.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 12, the present embodiment determines a system that generates a user operation instruction, and displays the upgrade prompt interface on the system that generates the user operation instruction according to the following method:

and S41, detecting the user operation instruction and judging whether the user operation instruction acts on the first hardware system or the second hardware system.

The control basis of the dual-system upgrading control system on the upgrading prompt interface is a generation system of the user operation instruction, so that after the dual-system upgrading control system receives the user operation instruction, whether the user operation instruction acts on the first hardware system or the second hardware system needs to be judged, and the system capable of being used for displaying the upgrading prompt interface is accurately determined.

And S42, if the user operation instruction acts on the first hardware system, displaying an upgrade prompt interface on the first hardware system.

And S43, if the user operation instruction acts on the second hardware system, displaying the upgrade prompting interface on the second hardware system.

When the dual-system upgrading control system judges that the user operation instruction acts on the first hardware system, the dual-system upgrading control system controls an upgrading prompt interface to be displayed on the first hardware system; and if the user operation instruction is judged to act on the second hardware system, controlling an upgrade prompt interface to be displayed on the second hardware system. That is to say, which system receives the user operation instruction, which system displays the upgrade prompt interface, and the display of the upgrade prompt interface is controlled according to the standard, so that confusion is avoided.

Whether the single-system application is upgraded or the double-system application is upgraded, the upgrade prompting interface is displayed on the system generating the user operation instruction so as to regularly display the single-system application upgrade and the double-system application upgrade and ensure the accuracy of upgrade prompting.

For example, when the user upgrades the application by operating the a card, if the application is an a card application, the upgrade prompt interface is displayed on the a card. And if the application is the N-card application, sending an upgrading instruction to the N card by the A card to upgrade the application N, and displaying an upgrading prompt interface on the A card. If the application is that the application A and the application N are upgraded simultaneously, at the moment, the A card sends an upgrading instruction to the N card so as to upgrade the application A and the application N simultaneously, and the upgrading prompting interface is displayed on the A card because the instruction for upgrading the dual systems simultaneously is sent by the A card.

For another example, when the user upgrades the application by operating the N card, if the application is an a card application, the upgrade prompt interface is displayed on the N card. And if the application is the N-card application, sending an upgrading instruction to the A card by the N card to upgrade the application A, and displaying an upgrading prompt interface on the N card. If the application is that the application A and the application N are upgraded simultaneously, the N card sends an upgrading instruction to the A card so as to upgrade the application A and the application N simultaneously, and the upgrading prompt interface is displayed on the N card because the instruction for upgrading the dual systems simultaneously is sent by the N card.

No matter the single system application is upgraded or the double system application is upgraded, in the upgrading process, the upgrading prompt interface is always displayed on the system generating the user operation instruction. In order to upgrade the dual-system applications simultaneously and synchronously display the upgrade progress, the states of the application a and the application N are kept consistent to ensure that the user can smoothly start the corresponding applications, in this embodiment, the upgrade process is completed for both the applications of the two systems according to the termination display of the upgrade prompt interface.

For example, when the dual-system application is upgraded simultaneously, the application a and the application N download corresponding upgrade files simultaneously, and when the two systems are downloaded successfully, the installation state is entered. If one end fails to download, the download fails, and after the other end finishes downloading, a download failure prompt is given, and the upgrade is terminated. And similarly, when the upgrade file is installed for upgrading, if the two ends are installed successfully at the same time, the application is upgraded successfully, the display of the upgrade prompt interface is stopped, and the upgraded application is pulled up. If one end fails to be installed, the other end prompts the installation failure after the installation is finished. If the installation process of the dual-system application upgrade fails, the version of the application to be upgraded needs to be backed back to the version before the upgrade, so as to ensure that the application can still be used with another application.

Therefore, the upgrade interface control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

and S50, when the application in the dual-system upgrading list is upgraded, canceling the upgrading prompt interface displayed on the system acted by the user operation instruction.

According to the method provided by the embodiment, whether the single-system application is upgraded or the double-system application is upgraded, the standard for displaying the upgrade prompt interface is a system for generating the user operation instruction, that is, the standard for starting to display the upgrade prompt interface is an action system for judging the user operation instruction. And when the upgrade prompt interface is terminated to be displayed, the upgrade of the application is finished. The standards for terminating the display of the upgrade prompt interface are different for single-system application upgrade and double-system application upgrade.

Taking the application in the dual system upgrade list as a single system application as an example, the single system application refers to an application of a first hardware system or an application of a second hardware system that are used independently, for example, only the application a of the a card is upgraded, or only the application N of the N card is upgraded.

In this embodiment, when the application in the dual-system upgrade list is upgraded, canceling the upgrade prompt interface displayed on the system acted by the user operation instruction includes:

s511, judging whether the application upgraded in the dual-system upgrading list is the application of the first hardware system or the application of the second hardware system.

S512, if the application to be upgraded in the dual-system upgrading list is the application of the first hardware system, the upgrading prompt interface displayed on the system acted by the user operation instruction is cancelled when the application upgrading of the first hardware system is completed.

S513, if the application to be upgraded in the dual-system upgrading list is the application of the second hardware system, the upgrading prompt interface displayed on the system acted by the user operation instruction is cancelled when the application upgrading of the second hardware system is completed.

When the display of the upgrade prompt interface is terminated, the basis for terminating the display is to determine whether the upgrade of the application being upgraded is completed, so that it is necessary to determine on which system the upgrade application is located.

For example, the application being upgraded is application a, and it is first determined whether application a is an application configured on an a card (first hardware system) or an application configured on an N card (second hardware system). And if the application a is configured on the A card, monitoring the upgrading progress of the application a on the A card by the dual-system upgrading control system. And when the application a finishes the application upgrading and succeeds, the upgrading prompting interface on the system with the upgrading prompting interface is displayed. The system for displaying the upgrade prompt interface may be determined according to the method provided in the foregoing embodiment, that is, the system for generating the user operation instruction displays the upgrade prompt interface, and the system may be an a card or an N card.

And if the application a is configured on the N card, monitoring the upgrading progress of the application a on the N card by the dual-system upgrading control system. And when the application a finishes the application upgrading and succeeds, the upgrading prompting interface on the system with the upgrading prompting interface is displayed.

Taking the example that the application in the dual system upgrade list is a dual system application, the dual system application refers to an application of a first hardware system and an application of a second hardware system that are used in cooperation with each other, for example, an application a on an a card and an application N on an N card that have an association relationship.

s520, if the application to be upgraded in the dual-system upgrading list is dual-system application, the upgrading prompt interface displayed on the system acted by the user operation instruction is cancelled when the application of the first hardware system and the application of the second hardware system are upgraded.

When the dual-system application is upgraded, the applications matched with each other on the A card and the N card are in the upgrading process, and at the moment, the upgrading prompt interface is displayed according to the system generating the user operation instruction. When the display of the upgrade prompting interface is terminated, the upgrade of the dual-system applications is completed and succeeded according to the display, so that the problem that the application versions are unmatched due to the fact that one application is upgraded successfully and the other application is upgraded unsuccessfully is avoided, and the realization of the corresponding functions of the display equipment is influenced.

Therefore, the dual-system upgrading control system monitors the upgrading progress of the application A on the card A and the application N on the card N at the same time, and cancels the display of the upgrading prompt interface when the application A and the application N are upgraded.

Therefore, the method provided by the embodiment considers the upgrading state of the dual-system application at the same time, ensures the upgrading state to be synchronous, and avoids the situation that the whole dual-system application upgrading process is disordered and difficult to control. And corresponding different standards are adopted when the upgrade prompting interface is displayed and the display is stopped when the dual-system application is upgraded, so that the upgrade prompting interface is ensured to be displayed without errors.

As can be seen from the foregoing technical solutions, in the control method for displaying an application upgrade interface of a dual system provided in the embodiments of the present invention, a dual system upgrade control system is set in a dual system, and the dual system upgrade control system detects application upgrade information of a first hardware system and application upgrade information of a second hardware system in real time, and generates a dual system upgrade list for implementing synchronous upgrade of a single system application or a dual system application. And when the application of the dual-system upgrading list is upgraded according to the user operation instruction, displaying an upgrading prompt interface on the system generating the user operation instruction. Therefore, when the dual-system application is upgraded, the dual-system upgrading control system can regularly control the upgrading prompt interface to be displayed on the system generating the user operation instruction, so that the upgrading prompt interface can accurately prompt the upgrading state of the dual-system application, and prompt confusion is avoided.
