Drawings

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for dynamically expanding device capabilities according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed Description

In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantageous effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular internal procedures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

The main idea of the method for dynamically expanding the equipment capability is that when the equipment end encounters the problem that the current capability cannot be solved, the problem is described and submitted to a server with stronger capability, the server finds a solution and sends the solution to the equipment, and the equipment presents the solution.

As shown in fig. 1, a method for dynamically expanding device capability includes the following steps:

step 100, processing data by the equipment, judging whether the data to be processed exceeds the support range of the equipment, and describing problems by the equipment;

step 200, the equipment uploads the described problems to a server;

step 300, the server processes the obtained solution and transmits the solution to the equipment;

in step 400, the device presents the results of the solution according to the solution.

Further, step 100 specifically includes:

step 101, identifying a file format of data to be processed;

step 102, judging whether a decoding algorithm with a built-in file format exists in the equipment;

103, when judging that the equipment does not have a decoding algorithm of a file format, judging that the data to be processed exceeds the support range of the equipment;

step 104, the device generates a code describing the problem according to the file format of the data to be processed and the specific data content of the data to be processed. The coding of the device description problem is arranged to be expressed in the form of binary data or addresses, such as URIs.

In step 100, the data in different formats has different determination methods: taking a browser as an example, when the browser receives file data sent by a server, the browser knows that the file data is a picture through MIME type, the data format is acquired through the head of the data and is in an svg format, but the browser does not have a decoding algorithm of an internal svg, and the browser can judge that the file data is unsupported data; for another example, when the browser displays a text, by determining the encoding of the text, it can be determined that the text exceeds the supportable character set, and thus it is determined that the text is beyond the support range of the device.

When the device is processing data, it is perceived that the data to be processed is beyond the supported range, including but not limited to, for example, unsupported character sets, picture formats (e.g., svg vector graphics), unsupported files (e.g., doc documents), unsupported audio-visual containers or formats (e.g., aac, mp 4).

In step 100, describing the question may be accomplished by describing a question category and data, where the question category is accomplished by a set communication protocol, and the communication protocol described for the question between the server and the device is set, for example, id ═ 1 may be defined to represent display text, id ═ 2 may represent playing video, id ═ 3 may represent display pictures, and the like. The data can be expressed in various ways, for example, the text is binary coded data, which can be unicode or utf 8; the picture may be binary encoded data, or a url address of the picture source, etc.

The question categories include, but are not limited to:

display_paragraph,

show_image,

play_Media

open_file

step 300, the server processes the obtained solution and transmits the solution to the device, which specifically includes:

step 301, the server decodes the codes describing the problem;

step 302, finding a solution;

step 303, then compiling the solution into a code that the device can decode;

step 304, the code is sent to the device.

In step 300, the server obtains a solution through processing, where the processing mode can be selected according to specific situations, and some problems can be solved through the existing capability of the server, such as picture format decoding, dot matrix information of characters, and the like. With the application, some requests related to the knowledge question and answer can be processed, and answers of the knowledge question and answer, such as listening to songs, recognizing songs, connecting poems and the like, can be found through methods such as a web crawler and the like. After finding a solution, the solution is described by processing the categories and data. Treatment categories include, but are not limited to:

display_paragraph,

show_image,

play_Media

open_file

the data may be expressed in the form of binary data or addresses (such as URIs). The data may be coded graphics corresponding to the character string, characters contained in the file, transcoded pictures or audio/video.

Specific examples are as follows:

taking the example of a browser in an intelligent television displaying a web page, the current browser only supports limited centralized texts (such as chinese-english), and when the web page contains hebrew texts:

(Chinese means: two-point meeting in the afternoon)

Typically the web page will be displayed as a messy code □ □ □ □ □ □. Then, at the display location, the user may be allowed to request the cloud server to help process the content into normally displayable content, such as clicking a messy code (or optionally requesting the cloud service after a selectable list appears after clicking), and the device may compile the messy code into a problem description to be coded and send to the cloud server:

Type＝display_paragraph

Data＝EE939FD79ED7A4D792D7A920D791D7A9D7AAD799D799D79D20D790D7 97D7A820D794D7A6D794D7A8D799D799D79D

the coding mode can be provided according to the lattice information of the characters, and can also be directly replaced by bitmap.

After receiving the question, the cloud server finds out the lattice data of the corresponding characters according to the question category and data (each character uses the corresponding lattice information, which is standard (related to the font)), and then describes the scheme and sends the scheme to the device:

Type＝display_paragraph

data is dot matrix Data corresponding to characters or bitmap capable of being displayed

The device will present the scenario after receiving the scenario description: and removing the displayed messy codes, and converting the dot matrix data into a bitmap frame for displaying.

The method for dynamically expanding the device capability of the embodiment can be applied to the processing of character messy codes, pictures, audio and video, and the processing mode is roughly as follows:

regarding the problem of character scrambling, it should be realized according to the above example. Specifically, the device provides a specific character code (Unicode or Utf8), and the server queries lattice information corresponding to the coded character from a font library according to the character code and returns the lattice information to the device;

regarding the processing of pictures: the method comprises the steps that the device sends original picture data to a server (the data head comprises an information header which can identify picture related information such as coding mode, width and the like, the content is standard and related to a specific picture format such as gif and jpg. -), the server identifies a coding format according to the picture data and the header information of the data, and then decodes the coding format into bitmap data to be transmitted to the device;

with respect to the audio data: the same picture also transmits the original data to the server, the head of the original data contains audio information (such as coding format aac, mp3, wav and the like, channel number), the server decodes the coded audio data into general pcm data (can be played without decoding) according to the codec protocol according to the received data, and sends the pcm data to the equipment;

regarding video data, as with audio data: the device sends the data to the server, and the server processes the encoded (mpeg2, mp 4..) video data into bitmap data frames which can be not encoded according to a standard protocol, and can also convert the video data into a universal simple video encoding format based on the consideration of the transmission data amount, and transmit the video data to the device, such as an mp 2 format.

The method for dynamically expanding the equipment capability of the embodiment of the invention sets a communication protocol through equipment and a server, judges whether data to be processed exceeds the range supported by the equipment, then sends the problem category and the data code to the server, the server selects a corresponding solution, codes the solution and sends the solution to the equipment, and the equipment presents the solution, so that the equipment capability is expanded, the problem that the function of the existing electronic equipment is greatly limited due to resource limitation is improved, the information transfer between the equipment is automatically solved, and the service capability of the equipment is dynamically adjusted by means of the existing capability of the equipment.
