The embodiment of the application can be applied to various types of display devices (including but not limited to smart televisions, liquid crystal televisions and the like). The following describes a display device, a server, and a dynamic control method for displaying a channel list, taking a control scheme and a user interface for realizing channel list display by interaction of an intelligent television and the server as examples.
Fig. 5A is a schematic diagram of a user interface of a smart tv channel list display according to an embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, when the television is powered on in the live mode, the first controller of the television may obtain a local channel list for live broadcast, and the local channel list may be displayed on a user interface for user operation, as shown in fig. 5A. The user can perform page turning and switching operations on the channels contained in the local channel list through the remote controller.
In some embodiments, after acquiring the local channel list, the first controller sends an optimization request instruction to the server, where the optimization request instruction also carries the local channel list acquired by the first controller.
After the television is turned on, the local channel list acquired by the first controller includes a live channel 1, a live channel 2, a live channel 3, a live channel 4, a live channel 5, a live channel 6 and channels included in subsequent pages.
In the usual case, the television will default to playing live channel 1 after startup. Assuming that the live channel 4 is the channel with the highest viewing frequency, it is practical for the user to adjust the channel arrangement order in the list, so as to simplify the user operation and optimize the television channel list display.
The optimization request command sent by the first controller can be used for enabling the server side to determine an optimized channel list according to the local channel list contained in the command.
Correspondingly, the second controller of the server receives the optimization request instruction sent by the smart television, and determines the optimized channel list according to the local channel list carried by the optimization request instruction.
For example, the second controller of the server parses the local channel list to obtain all channel data, and then arranges the local channel list according to the currently configured operation rule to generate the optimized channel list. The operation rule may be configured to include, but is not limited to, modifying a channel number, modifying a channel name, reordering channels, deleting a channel, adding a network channel (IP channel), and the like.
In some embodiments, the optimized channel list is generated based on the local channel list, and the channel sequence in the local channel list is regenerated at the server side according to the daily viewing habits of the user or the optimization requirements of the manufacturer.
For example, the first 6 channels of the local channel list, whose initial sequence user interfaces are shown in fig. 5A, are sequentially arranged from the live channel 1 to the live channel 6;
the optimized channel list determined based on the local channel list through the processing of the second controller of the server is shown in fig. 5B, and the sequence of the first 6 channels is rearranged and displayed as: live channel 4, live channel 5, live channel 6, and live channel 1, live channel 2, live channel 3.
And the first controller of the intelligent television receives the optimized channel list sent by the server and displays the optimized channel list as a new channel list on a television user interface.
In some embodiments, the optimized channel list determined from the local channel list may also display more functionality controls. For example, in the optimized channel list shown in fig. 5B, compared to the local channel list shown in fig. 5A, an edit button is additionally displayed, and the user may modify the channel names in the optimized channel list; a collection button is additionally displayed, and a user can collect a specific channel to quickly switch; a screening button is additionally displayed, so that a user can perform classified display in a plurality of channels according to screening conditions; the homepage button is additionally displayed, so that the function of quickly switching to the system homepage can be realized.
In some embodiments, optimizing the local listings may also increase the identification of live channels to distinguish between network channels and ad spots to help the user quickly navigate from the channel listings.
It should be noted that, in a general case, after the user operates the smart television to perform channel search, and the television generates the local channel list, the first controller sends an optimization request instruction including the local channel list to the server at this time, so as to obtain the optimized channel list and display the optimized channel list on the local television screen. Or after the intelligent television is started up every time, the first controller actively acquires the effective local channel list stored in the local and sends an optimization request instruction containing the local channel list to the server. I.e., starting the television, and searching for a channel may trigger the first controller to send an optimization request command to the server, as shown in fig. 6A.
In some embodiments, the first controller further adds the signal strength parameter corresponding to the channel included in the local channel list to the optimization request command before sending the optimization request command to the server.
After receiving the optimization request instruction containing the local channel list and the signal light parameters, the second controller of the server compares the signal intensity parameter corresponding to each channel in the local channel list with a preset intensity threshold value to detect the television channel with poor playing quality and delete the television channel from the generated optimization channel list. Specifically, the method may be operated to add the corresponding channel to the optimized channel list when the signal strength parameter corresponding to the channel is greater than or equal to the strength threshold.
For example, after the smart television is turned on or a channel is searched, the first controller first reads a local channel list of the current television to obtain content information of all channels; wherein, each channel can use three flag bits of service ID, network ID and transport stream ID to distinguish and confirm the unique confirmation; meanwhile, the first controller can also obtain the information of signal quality, signal strength and the like of each channel; after reading the complete local channel list, the first controller encodes information such as numbers, channel names, signal strength parameters and the like of all channels and sends the encoded information to the cloud server; the cloud server analyzes the received data to obtain remote local channel list data of the television end; the second controller of the server reintegrates the data of the local channel list according to the currently set scheduling rule; if the signal intensity parameter of the live channel 1 is lower than the intensity threshold, the optimized channel list determined by the server does not display the live channel 1 any more; the second controller of the server issues the scheduled optimized channel list to the smart television, and the user interface display of the smart television is shown in fig. 5F.
It can be understood that the optimization request instruction is further configured to enable the server to determine, according to the signal strength parameter included in the optimization request instruction and a preset strength threshold, a live channel that can be reserved in the optimization channel list in the local channel list, so as to implement an effect that a channel with a poor signal is removed is displayed in the channel list, so as to improve effective operation of a user when switching channels.
In some embodiments, the optimization request instruction sent by the smart television may be further used to enable the optimized network channel determined by the server to include the network channel and the advertisement space.
Due to the combination of the smart television and the internet technology, content resources which can be provided for users by service providers are increasing, and the operation requirements of television content become more important and necessary.
The display of the local channel list is determined by a live broadcast signal source connected with a television, the television cannot be used for personalized configuration independently, and content resources provided by a service provider are generally required to be displayed on a separate application page.
In the display device provided by the application, through interaction between the smart television and the server, contents such as network channels and advertisement spots provided by a service provider can be displayed on a television channel list.
For example, before the smart television local channel list is processed by the server, the first 6 channels in the sequence are live channels 1 to 6 in sequence; after the first controller sends an optimization request instruction to the server and the optimization request instruction is processed, the optimization channel list acquired again by the smart television comprises the network channel 1, the network channel 2 and the advertisement space which are added by an operator according to the configuration rule; and the operator can flexibly configure the positions of the network channels and the advertisement spots in the optimized channel list, as shown in fig. 5C and fig. 6A.
It can be understood that when the operation scheme of the service provider is adjusted, the operation configuration rule of the server only needs to be modified, and when the television requests the server again, the optimized channel list arranged according to the latest strategy can be obtained, so that the purpose of dynamically configuring the television channel list by the cloud is achieved.
It is understood that the configuration rule policy that the server second controller may adopt for generating the optimized channel list according to the local channel list included in the optimization request instruction includes, but is not limited to: increasing network channels, decreasing live channels, changing channel order, changing channel list display effects, etc.
The content operator at the cloud configures a channel list arrangement rule according to the operation requirement, the optional operation comprises channel number reallocation, channel name modification, channel deletion, list reordering, and definition of a signal intensity threshold value and a signal quality threshold value of a normally watched channel, and meanwhile, the operator can also configure whether an IP channel needs to be added according to the requirement.
Fig. 5D is a schematic diagram of a user interface of a smart tv channel list display according to another embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, when the smart tv is reset or not used for the first time, the content of the local channel list is empty, as shown in fig. 5D.
The first controller adds the local channel list with empty content to an optimization request instruction and sends the optimization request instruction to a server; under the condition that effective content cannot be played locally by the intelligent television, the second controller of the server controls the optimized channel list to contain all network channels or advertisement space content which can be acquired by user rights, so that the user television can be indirectly switched from a live television to the network television, the intelligence of the television is improved, the user experience is improved, and the problem that the television cannot be watched before channel searching is carried out is solved.
After the server issues the determined optimized channel list to the smart television, the network channels in the optimized channel list can be played through network connection on the user interface of the local television after receiving the confirmation operation of the user, as shown in fig. 5E.
It can be seen that with conventional television, television cannot be viewed by tuning or channel listings until the live television signal is poor or no channel search is performed at all. The dynamic control of the display device on the channel list display can realize the requirement that a user can still realize television watching under the scene that the live television signal is poor and the channel is not searched, so that the television is more intelligent, the requirement on the user operation is lower, and the capability of a service provider on the television content resource allocation is also improved.
In some embodiments, the technical scheme provided by the application supports a user to watch (IP) network channel functions without searching channels, and when an operator configures an IP channel, the user can watch the IP channel even if the user does not search channels, so that the dependence on a direct broadcast signal is reduced.
When the television does not search channels, the channel list data is empty, and when the cloud server receives the empty list, the configured operating IP channels can be directly inserted into the empty list to obtain a new channel list only containing the IP channels, and then the list data is sent to the television end for display, so that the function of watching the IP channels without searching channels can be realized, as shown in fig. 6B.
In some embodiments, the server provided by the present application may further configure different channel list operation rules according to a model, a market, and a brand.
According to different operation requirements, cloud operators can configure different arrangement rules according to different dimensions such as models, markets, brands and the like, a television can carry information such as the models, the markets, the brands and the like of the television when uploading a local channel list, and a cloud server can implement and apply different channel list arrangement rules according to the information to realize the difference and the flexibility of channel list determination.
For example, the configuration of the IP channel may not be performed on the low-end television, so as to avoid that the normal play of the IP channel cannot be completed due to insufficient support of the television capability, thereby bringing a bad use experience to the user.
