Description

Application software acceleration method and display device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to an application software acceleration method and a display device.

Background

In the display device with the Android system architecture, each application software start independently occupies a memory space, and as the starting time increases, the number of the application software starts increases, the situation that the system memory is occupied too much by irrelevant applications or services can be generated, so that the problem that the memory requested by the application software currently used by a user is insufficient. The intuitive feel of the user is that the user is stuck in operating the application software. For example, in a display device with a low memory (e.g. 1.5G), when the display device continuously opens a plurality of large applications and runs for a period of time, and then plays a 4K video film source by using one of the applications, the application may have problems of operation jamming, slow opening, UI jamming, menu jamming, and the like.

For the display device with insufficient memory, in order to solve the problem of application software operation jamming, generally, a piece of application software, such as a system acceleration tool, a memory cleaning assistant, etc., is installed in the display device, and the system memory is released by means of cleaning the system cache, ending the background application software, notifying a user to manually uninstall the application software, or disabling the application software which is started up and started up, etc.

However, the operation of releasing the system memory of the display device with the optimization tool is basically performed after the user perceives that the system is stuck, and when the user has seriously influenced the interaction behavior of the user by using the application software, the user needs to manually use some optimization tools in the display device to release the system memory. Moreover, the optimization effect generated by the optimization operation can only be maintained for a period of time, and then the user needs to start the optimization tool for optimization from time to time. It can be seen that, in the current display device, the mode of implementing memory release by installing an optimization tool requires a high frequency of user operations, and the optimization effect is not ideal.

In some embodiments, the system may include a Kernel (Kernel), a command parser (shell), a file system, and an application program. The kernel, shell, and file system together make up the basic operating system structure that allows users to manage files, run programs, and use the system. After power-on, the kernel is started, kernel space is activated, hardware is abstracted, hardware parameters are initialized, and virtual memory, a scheduler, signals and interprocess communication (IPC) are operated and maintained. And after the kernel is started, loading the Shell and the user application program. The application program is compiled into machine code after being started, and a process is formed.

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 the display device 200 with the Android system architecture, each application software start independently occupies a memory space, and as the starting time increases, the number of the application software starts increases, which may cause a situation that the system memory is occupied too much by irrelevant applications or services, thereby causing a problem that the memory requested by the application software currently used by a user is insufficient. The intuitive feel of the user is that the user is stuck in operating the application software. For example, in the display device 200 with a low memory (e.g. 1.5G), when the display device 200 continuously opens a plurality of large applications and runs for a period of time, and then plays a 4K video film source by using one of the applications, the application may have problems of operation jamming, slow opening, UI jamming, menu jamming, and the like.

For the display device 200 with insufficient memory, in order to solve the problem of application software operation jamming, generally, a piece of application software, such as a system acceleration tool, a memory cleaning assistant, etc., is installed in the display device 200, and the system memory is released by means of cleaning the system cache, ending the background application software, notifying the user to manually uninstall the application software, or disabling the application software which is started up and started up.

However, the operation of releasing the system memory of the display device 200 with the optimization tool installed is basically performed after the user perceives that the system is stuck, and when the user has seriously affected the user's interaction behavior by using the application software, the user needs to manually use some optimization tools in the display device 200 to release the system memory. Moreover, the optimization effect generated by the optimization operation can only be maintained for a period of time, and then the user needs to start the optimization tool for optimization from time to time. It can be seen that, in the current display device 200, the way of implementing the memory release by installing the optimization tool requires a high frequency of user operations, and the optimization effect is not ideal.

Based on the above, the application software acceleration method and the display device are provided in the embodiments of the present application, in the display device 200, there are three aspects of operations for accelerating the application software, as shown in fig. 6, the system service is optimized and accelerated in the boot stage of the display device 200, the application software is over-frequency started and accelerated in the startup stage of the application software, and the application software is run and accelerated in the running stage of the application software. The display device 200 does not need to be additionally provided with an optimization tool, the starting condition, the application software starting condition or the running condition of the display device 200 can be automatically detected, different acceleration operations can be automatically performed at different stages, and the optimization tool is prevented from being frequently operated by a user.

In the embodiment of the present application, the display device 200 refers to an intelligent device such as a smart phone, a smart television, a personal computer, and a tablet computer, in which various application software can be installed.

The display device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a display 275 and a controller 250, where the controller 250 may receive a power-on instruction of the display device 200, control the display device 200 to be powered on, and perform optimization and acceleration on system services in a power-on phase of the display device 200. The power-on instruction of the display apparatus 200 may be issued by a user, for example, if the user wants to watch a television, the user presses a switch button of a remote controller, which may be regarded as issuing the power-on instruction, or the user controls the television to be powered on by voice, which may also be regarded as issuing the power-on instruction.

The system service refers to some application software and processes running in the display device 200, and when the controller 250 accelerates the system service, the system service may be accelerated separately for the application software running after the display device 200 is powered on, or accelerated separately for the service processes running after the display device 200 is powered on, or accelerated for both the application software and the service processes running after the display device 200 is powered on.

In some embodiments, in response to a display device power-on instruction, the controller 250 may detect power-on self-start software in the display device 200 in response to a display device power-on instruction in a case where application software running after the display device 200 is powered on is accelerated; in the case where the power-on self-start-up software is not a system application of the display apparatus 200, the power-on self-start-up software is disabled.

The system applications are application software inherent in the system of the display device 200, that is, some application software carried by the display device 200, and most of the application software is essential for the system operation of the display device 200, so that the application software is not optimized in the embodiment of the present application.

The boot self-starting software refers to some application software that is automatically started and run along with the boot of the display device 200. Generally, in order to ensure the normal operation of the display device 200 system, some system applications must have a function of starting and self-starting, but some application software except the system applications automatically start at the time of starting, which occupies more system memory and causes waste of memory space. To solve this problem, the controller 250 needs to disable the application software that is booted up and does not belong to the system application, so as to release more system memory while ensuring the normal operation of the display device 200.

In some embodiments, in response to a display device power-on instruction, the controller 250 may detect a currently running system service process in the display device 200, in case that the service process running after the display device 200 is powered on is accelerated; in the case where the system service process is not the core service process of the display apparatus 200, the system service process is disabled.

The core service process is a process necessary to support the operation of the display device 200. Most of these core service processes are essential for the display device 200 system to operate, and therefore, for such processes, optimization processing is not performed in the embodiment of the present application. And some system service processes except the core service may have or may not have the implemented function or role for the display device 200, so the controller 250 may disable such system service processes, and release more system memory under the condition that the display device 200 is ensured to operate normally.

In some embodiments, for the case that the application software and the service process running after the display device 200 is powered on are accelerated together, the controller 250 may detect the power-on self-starting software in the display device 200 and the currently running system service process at the same time, then disable the power-on self-starting software if the power-on self-starting software is not the system application of the display device 200, and disable the system service process if the system service process is not the core service process of the display device 200. In the method, under the condition of forbidding the startup self-starting software, some useless system service processes are further forbidden, and more system memories are released.

After the display device 200 is turned on, if the user wants to open some application software, the controller 250 needs to respond to an application software start instruction, and if the application software is the core software in the display device 200, perform overdrive start acceleration on the application software.

The core software refers to necessary application software or main application software that supports the operation of the display device 200. And, the overdrive acceleration means that the application software is started using the maximum processing frequency of the processor of the display device 200, which enables the application software to be started quickly.

Further, in some embodiments, the controller 250 may detect whether the application software is the core software in response to the application software start instruction, and set the processing frequency of the display apparatus 200 to the highest frequency in the case that the application software is the core software; then, the processor 250 is controlled to operate at the highest frequency within the overclocking time of the application software, and the processor frequency is set to the initial frequency again after the overclocking time of the application software is ended.

The above-mentioned overclocking time of the application software is a period of time from the start of the application software to the stable operation of the application software, and usually, the overclocking times of different application software are different and are approximately in the range of 3-5s, so the controller 250 needs to acquire the overclocking time of the application software which needs to be started currently, and in this time, the processor is controlled to operate at the highest processing frequency, thereby increasing the starting speed of the application software.

After the application software is started, the operation stage is entered, and at this time, the controller 250 needs to accelerate the operation of the application software, so that the application software is more flow-processed in the operation process, and the problem of unsmooth operation is avoided. The running acceleration is mainly embodied in the aspects of clearing cache of the display equipment, clearing useless processes, searching and killing application processes and the like.

Moreover, after the application software is started, the controller 250 needs to detect whether the time interval between the current start of the application software and the previous running acceleration of the application software exceeds a preset time interval, and if not, the application software is used more frequently by a user, for example, the user opens the same application software for multiple times in a short time, at this time, because the time interval between the last opening of the application software and the last opening of the application software is short, the problem of waste of processor resources and the like caused by running acceleration for multiple times in a short time is avoided, and the controller 250 does not perform running acceleration again on the application software running under the condition; and when the time interval exceeds the preset time interval, the running of the application software is accelerated. The preset time interval in the embodiment of the present application may be set to 20s, or may be set more specifically according to the use condition of each application software, and is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may clear the cache data of all the application software in the display device 200 during the running process after the application software is started, so as to release more memory and increase the running speed of the application software.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may further clean the processes in the background task list of the display device 200 during the running process after the application software is started, so as to release the memory occupied by the processes in the background task list and provide the running speed of the application software.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may further establish a process white list or a process black list, and then determine, in an operation process after the application software is started, whether a process currently running in the display apparatus 200 exists in the process white list or the process black list, so as to determine whether the process needs to be prohibited. The process blacklist stores some processes which occupy a large memory, or some processes which are not allowed to run in the display device 200, or some processes which are used with a low frequency in the display device 200, and the like; and the process white list stores some protected processes or some processes necessary to support the display device 200 to operate, etc.

Controller 250 may force the processes that exist in the process blacklist to stop so as not to consume too much memory. And the process existing in the process white list cannot be interfered, so that the process in the process white list can be normally executed.

In addition, processes which do not exist in the process white list or the process black list may also exist in the display device 200, and if the processes belong to the system process, the controller 250 may still not interfere with the processes, so as to ensure normal execution of the processes, and further ensure normal operation of the display device 200; however, if these processes are non-system processes, controller 250 still needs to force them to stall to free up more memory.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the controller 250 may further detect the memory usage of the display device 200 at regular intervals in the running process after the application software is started; this certain time may be set to 10 minutes or may be set according to the actual use of the display device 200, and is not particularly limited herein. Then, under the condition that the remaining memory of the display device 200 is lower than a preset threshold, detecting whether the running process in the display device 200 exists in a process blacklist or whether the running process exists in a process whitelist; and in the case that the process exists in the process blacklist or the process is a non-system process which does not exist in the process blacklist or the process white list, forcibly stopping the application process.

In some embodiments, for detecting whether the application software is the core software and detecting whether the system service process is the core service process, corresponding white lists may be respectively established for the core software and the core service in advance, and further, the controller 250 may detect whether the application software is the core software by determining whether the application software is in the software white list, or may detect whether the system service process is the core service process by determining whether the system service process is in the process white list. The process white list may be the process white list mentioned in the foregoing embodiment, or may be another process white list separately established.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may further clear the cache data of all the application software in the display device 200 again when the remaining memory of the display device 200 is lower than the preset threshold; and/or cleaning up processes in the background task list of the display device 200. And in addition, the process or the application software process in the process white list or the software white list is not interfered, and the normal operation of the process or the application software process is ensured.

According to the contents of all the foregoing embodiments, in the display device 200, there are three aspects of operations for accelerating the application software, which are respectively performing optimization acceleration on system services at the boot stage of the display device 200, performing over-frequency startup acceleration on the application software at the startup stage of the application software, and performing operation acceleration on the application software at the operation stage of the application software. Furthermore, an optimization tool does not need to be additionally installed in the display device 200, and the controller can automatically detect the startup condition, the application software startup condition or the running condition of the display device 200, so that different acceleration operations can be automatically performed at different stages, and the user is prevented from frequently operating the optimization tool.
