Detailed Description
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The present application is not limited to a display device having a dual system and dual display structure as shown in fig. 1 to 7, that is, a display device having a first controller (first hardware system), a second controller (second hardware system), a first display, and a second display, and a display device having a non-dual system, that is, having one controller (hardware system), or having more than two controllers (hardware systems).
In a specific implementation manner of the present application, a display device with dual systems is used to describe the technical solution of the present application. The structure, function, implementation, and the like of the display device having the dual system hardware structure will be described in detail first.
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.

The term "hardware system" used in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a physical component having computing, controlling, storing, inputting and outputting functions, which is formed by a mechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic device such as an Integrated Circuit (IC), a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and the like. In various embodiments of the present application, a hardware system may also be referred to as a motherboard (or chip).
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an operation scenario between a display device and a control apparatus. As shown in fig. 1, a user may operate the display apparatus 200 through the control device 100.
The control device 100 may be a remote controller 100A, which can communicate with the display device 200 through an infrared protocol communication, a bluetooth protocol communication, a ZigBee (ZigBee) protocol communication, or other short-range communication, and is used to control the display device 200 in a wireless or other wired manner. The user may input a user instruction through a key on the remote controller 100A, voice input, control panel input, or the like to control the display apparatus 200. Such as: the user can input a corresponding control command through a volume up/down key, a channel control key, up/down/left/right movement keys, a voice input key, a menu key, a power on/off key, etc. on the remote controller 100A to control the functions of the display device 200.
The control device 100 may also be an intelligent device, such as a mobile terminal 100B, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, and the like, which may communicate with the display device 200 through a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), or other networks, and implement control of the display device 200 through an application program corresponding to the display device 200. For example, the display device 200 is controlled using an application program running on the smart device. The application may provide various controls to the User through an intuitive User Interface (UI) on a screen associated with the smart device.
For example, the mobile terminal 100B and the display device 200 may each have a software application installed thereon, so that connection communication between the two can be realized through a network communication protocol, and the purpose of one-to-one control operation and data communication can be further realized. Such as: a control instruction protocol can be established between the mobile terminal 100B and the display device 200, a remote control keyboard is synchronized to the mobile terminal 100B, and the function of controlling the display device 200 is realized by controlling a user interface on the mobile terminal 100B; the audio and video content displayed on the mobile terminal 100B may also be transmitted to the display device 200, so as to implement a synchronous display function.
As shown in fig. 1, the display apparatus 200 may also perform data communication with the server 300 through various communication means. In various embodiments of the present application, the display device 200 may be allowed to be in a wired or wireless communication connection with the server 300 via a local area network, a wireless local area network, or other network. The server 300 may provide various contents and interactions to the display apparatus 200.
Illustratively, the display device 200 receives software Program updates, or accesses a remotely stored digital media library by sending and receiving information, and Electronic Program Guide (EPG) interactions. The servers 300 may be a group or groups, and may be one or more types of servers. Other web service contents such as a video on demand and an advertisement service are provided through the server 300.
The display device 200 includes a first display 201 and a second display 202, wherein the first display 201 and the second display 202 are independent from each other, and the first display 201 and the second display 202 are controlled by different hardware systems respectively.
The first display 201 and the second display 202 may be used to display different screen contents. For example, the first display 201 may be used for screen display of conventional television programs, and the second display 202 may be used for screen display of auxiliary information such as notification type messages, voice assistants, and the like.
Alternatively, the content displayed by the first display 201 and the content displayed by the second display 202 may be independent of each other and not affected by each other. For example, when the first display 201 plays a television program, the second display 202 may display information such as time, weather, temperature, reminder messages, and the like, which are not related to the television program.

Fig. 9 illustrates a schematic diagram of a user interface in the display device 200. As shown in fig. 9, the user interface includes a first view display area 2011 and a second view display area 2021. The first view display area 2011 and the second view display area 2021 have substantially the same function, and only the first view display area 2011 is described in an important manner below. Illustratively, among other things, the first view display 2011 includes layouts for one or more different items. And a selector indicating that the item is selected is also included in the user interface, and a position of the selector is movable by a user input to change a selection of a different item.
A "user interface" is a media interface for interaction and information exchange between an application or operating system and a user that enables the conversion of the internal form of information to a form acceptable to the user. A common presentation form of a user interface is a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations and displayed in a graphical manner. It may be an interface element such as an icon, a window, a control, etc. displayed in the display screen of the electronic device, where the control may include a visual interface element such as an icon, a button, a menu, a tab, a text box, a dialog box, a status bar, a navigation bar, a Widget, etc.
In some embodiments, the first view display area 2011 is a scalable view display. "scalable" may mean that the first view display area 2011 is scalable in size or proportion on the screen, and the items in the first view display area 2011 are scalable in size or proportion on the screen.

Such as: a signal source input Interface set, or a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), a USB Interface, a PC terminal Interface, and the like.
It should be noted that: the view display area may present Video chat project content or application layer project content (e.g., web page Video, Video On Demand (VOD) presentations, application screens, etc.).
A "selector" is used to indicate where any item has been selected, such as a cursor or a focus object. Positioning the selection information input according to an icon or menu position touched by the user in the display 200 may cause movement of a focus object displayed in the display device 200 to select a control item, one or more of which may be selected or controlled.
The focus object refers to an object that moves between items according to user input. Illustratively, the focus object position is implemented or identified by drawing a thick line through the item edge. In other embodiments, the focus form is not limited to an example, and may be a form such as a cursor that is recognizable by the user, either tangible or intangible, such as in the form of a 3D deformation of the item, or may change the identification of the border lines, size, color, transparency, and outline and/or font of the text or image of the item in focus.
The event transmission system 2914, which may monitor user input for each predefined event or sub-event heard, provides control identifying the event or sub-event directly or indirectly to the interface layout management module 2913.
The interface layout management module 2913 is configured to monitor the state of the user interface (including the position and/or size of the view partition, the item, the focus or the cursor object, the change process, and the like), and according to the event or the sub-event, may perform a modification on the layout of the size and position, the hierarchy, and the like of the view display area, and/or adjust or modify the layout of the size or/and position, the number, the type, the content, and the like of the layout of various items in the view display area. In some embodiments, the layout is modified and adjusted, including displaying or not displaying the view sections or the content of the items in the view sections on the screen.
And a user input interface for transmitting an input signal of a user to the controller or transmitting a signal output from the controller to the user. For example, the control device (e.g., a mobile terminal or a remote controller) may send an input signal, such as a power switch signal, a channel selection signal, a volume adjustment signal, etc., input by a user to the user input interface, and then the input signal is forwarded to the controller by the user input interface; alternatively, the control device may receive an output signal such as audio, video, or data output from the user input interface via the controller, and display the received output signal or output the received output signal in audio or vibration form.
In some embodiments, a user may input a user command on a Graphical User Interface (GUI) displayed on the display 200, and the user input interface receives the user input command through the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Alternatively, the user may input the user command by inputting a specific sound or gesture, and the user input interface receives the user input command by recognizing the sound or gesture through the sensor.
FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating a display device presenting dual system dual screens in accordance with an exemplary embodiment; fig. 11 is a block diagram schematically showing the structure of a display device according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to fig. 10 and 11, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes two controllers, which are a second controller and a first controller, respectively, where each controller runs an independent Android system, that is, a system N (a second hardware system) runs on the second controller, a system a (a first hardware system) runs on the first controller, the system N is a master system, and the system a is a slave system.
To enable the capabilities of both systems to be exposed to the user, the display device 200 is configured with dual displays. The dual display includes a first display (small screen) 280 and a second display (large screen) 380, the second display 380 (i.e. the first display 201 in fig. 1) is connected to the second controller 310 (system N) for displaying the display content of each application configured in the system N, providing the main tv service; the first display 280 (i.e., the second display 202 in fig. 1) is connected to the camera and the first controller 210 (system a) for displaying the social ability and the auxiliary information prompt to the user. The system A is provided with an application related to the camera, and the system N is provided with other applications for presenting social ability. The first display may also be connected to the system N, and the system N is configured to control the backlight of the first display to be turned on and off when the first display is connected to the system N.
The first display 280 is communicatively connected to the first controller 210, the first display 280 is configured to display content of a first application, the first application refers to an application configured in the first controller 210; the second display 380 is communicatively connected to the second controller 310, and the second display 380 is configured to display content of a first application or display content of a second application, which is an application configured in the second controller 310.
The system N and the system A are connected through an HDMI interface, and the switching of the system N and the system A interface can be realized. The two systems can be connected through a data path to realize data transmission between the two systems. Because the system N does not provide social ability, the functions of video chat, magic mirror and the like are configured on the system A, when a user conducts video chat, the content of the system A is displayed through a second display (large screen) instead of a first display (small screen); and when the user quits the video chat, the content of the system A is displayed through the first display, and the content of the system N is displayed through the second display.
When the user quits the video chat, the display device provided by the embodiment can coordinate and control the two systems, so that the corresponding application content can be accurately displayed on the large screen and the small screen. For example, if the first display previously displayed the home page of system a, the second display previously displayed a video playback, such as a video played by a media center. At this point, the user triggers the display of the first application to be presented on the second display, for example, launching and displaying a "mirror" application in the first controller on the second display. In this scenario, after the user triggers the return key on the remote control, the second display ends displaying the content of the "look at mirror" application, and displays the application before starting the "look at mirror" application, i.e., the homepage of system a, in the first display; the video playback that was displayed prior to the "mirror" application, i.e., the video played by the media center, is displayed in the second display.
In order to implement the video call function of the display device, the display device provided in this embodiment is further configured with a camera, the camera is configured to collect environment image data, and the camera is connected to the system N by default. In order to realize the coordinated switching of the camera between the system N and the system A, the first controller is configured with a camera switching module, a first development encapsulation module (Framework A) and an HDMI Switch module. The camera switching module is connected with the camera, and the camera switching module is connected to the system N by default, namely the camera is connected to the system N by default. When the application in the first controller needs to call the camera, the camera switching module can switch the camera to be connected with the first controller, and the coordinated switching of the camera between the first controller and the second controller is realized. The first controller is configured to control content display of the first display and switching of the camera, the first development packaging module is used for storing an application starting process list, and first applications started each time in the first controller are stored in the application starting process list according to a time sequence; the HDMI Switch module implements a Switch data interface, for example, connecting a display content output interface of an application in a first controller to a first display, or connecting a display content output interface to a second display in a second controller.
The second controller is configured with a signal source switching module and a second development packaging module (Framework N), the second controller is configured to control content display of the second display, the signal source switching module is configured to switch data interfaces of the first controller and the second controller, when the first application needs to be displayed on the second display, the signal source switching module can switch a currently connected data interface (normally, the data interface of the second controller is connected) to the data interface of the first controller, so that the data interface of the first controller is connected with the second display, and display content of the first application is displayed on the second display; then, when the second application is displayed on the second display, the signal source switching module may switch the currently connected data interface (which may be the data interface of the first controller) to the data interface of the second controller, and establish a connection between the data interface of the second controller and the second display, so that the display content of the second application is displayed on the second display. The second development encapsulation module is used for storing the second application started each time in the second controller according to the time sequence. The first controller and the second controller are communicated with each other, the first display is enabled to accurately display the display content of the first application through coordinated communication, and the second display is enabled to accurately display the display content of the second application or the display content of the first application.
In order to ensure that an application configured in a first controller can call a camera, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, where a first controller determines whether a camera needs to be used according to an application started by a current display device, and when the camera needs to be used, a camera switching module is controlled to switch the camera from being connected to a second controller to the first controller, and after the application in the first controller calls the camera, the camera switching module is controlled to switch the camera from being connected to the first controller to the second controller, so as to implement real-time switching of the camera along with the started application, so that the application on two systems flexibly calls the camera, and further ensure that the camera can be coordinately switched between the two systems.
Fig. 12 is a first flowchart illustrating a dual system camera switching control method according to an exemplary embodiment; fig. 13 is a first data flow diagram illustrating a dual system camera switching control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Specifically, referring to fig. 12 and fig. 13, in the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, when performing the coordinated switching of the cameras, the second controller is configured to execute the method steps shown in fig. 12:
and S11, receiving an application starting instruction for starting the specified application.
And the user selects a designated application on the second display through the remote controller to start, generates an application starting instruction and sends the application starting instruction to the second controller, and the second controller controls the starting of the designated application according to the application starting instruction.
And S12, responding to the application starting instruction, judging the application type of the designated application, wherein the application type is used for representing whether the designated application is a first application or a second application, and whether the designated application is an application needing to be displayed on the first display or an application needing to be displayed on the second display.
Since the second controller is connected to the camera by default, in order to determine whether the camera needs to be switched, the method adopted in this embodiment is to determine whether the designated application is an application that needs to be displayed on the second display and belongs to the first controller.
Therefore, after receiving the application start instruction, the second controller needs to determine the application type of the designated application, that is, whether the designated application belongs to the first application in the first controller or the second application in the second controller, and whether the designated application needs to be displayed on the first display or the second display.
Specifically, the application type includes an application source and a presentation requirement, and, when the application type of the specified type is determined, the second controller is further configured to perform the following steps:
and step 121, responding to the application starting instruction, and acquiring the package name of the specified application.
And step 122, determining an application source and a presentation requirement of the specified application based on the package name of the specified application, wherein the application source is used for representing whether the specified application belongs to the first controller or the second controller, and the presentation requirement is used for representing whether the display content of the specified application needs to be displayed on the first display or the second display.
The second controller can obtain the package name of the specified application according to the application starting instruction, and the package name can determine the name of the specified application. Since the application package name is named by the controller and the presentation display to which the application belongs, the application source and the presentation requirement of the specified application can be determined according to the package name.
For example, the package name format may be "specify application name.
And S13, when the designated application is judged to be the first application and needs to be displayed on the second display, generating a corresponding first HDMI switching identifier, and sending the corresponding first HDMI switching identifier to the first controller, so that the first controller switches the camera based on the first HDMI switching identifier.
If the second controller determines that the type of the specified application is the first application and the application which needs to be displayed on the second display according to the packet name of the specified application, at this time, because the application started by the user is the application in the first controller and the application needs to be displayed on the second display, the HDMI Switch module of the first controller needs to control the HDMI data interface of the first controller to be switched, so that the HDMI Switch module of the first controller connects the display content output interface of the specified application in the first controller to the second display, and the data interface is switched.
At this time, the second controller generates a first HDMI switching identifier corresponding to the application type of the specified application, where the first HDMI switching identifier is used to indicate that the first controller needs to switch the HDMI data interface and output the HDMI data interface to the second display.
If the second controller determines that the designated application is not the first application belonging to the first controller and is not an application that needs to be displayed on the second display, the HDMI data interface in the first controller does not need to be switched, in which case the second controller will not generate the first HDMI switch identifier.
When the second controller determines that the first controller needs to switch the HDMI data interface, the corresponding first HDMI switching identification needs to be sent to the first controller, if the first controller receives the first HDMI switching identification, the fact that the appointed application needs to use the camera is indicated, the camera can be judged to need to be switched, and the camera and the second controller are connected to be connected with the first controller.
Fig. 14 is a second flowchart illustrating a dual system camera switching control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Specifically, referring to fig. 14, in the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, when performing the coordinated switching of the cameras, the first controller is configured to execute the steps of the dual-system camera switching control method shown in fig. 14:
and S21, receiving an application starting instruction which is sent by the second controller and carries the first HDMI switching identifier.
S22, responding to the application starting instruction carrying the first HDMI switching identification, and generating a first switching instruction.
After receiving the first HDMI switching identifier sent by the second controller, the first controller can determine that the camera needs to be switched, and generate a first switching instruction, wherein the first switching instruction is used for switching the connection between the camera and the second controller to the connection between the camera and the first controller.
If the designated application is a first application that is not attributed to the first controller and is not an application that requires display on the second display, then the second controller will not generate the first toggle identification. Therefore, the first controller does not receive the first switching identifier, and at this time, it indicates that the camera does not need to be switched, and the first controller does not need to control the switching of the camera, and the default connection between the camera and the second controller is maintained.
And S23, sending the first switching instruction to the camera switching module, wherein the camera switching module is used for responding to the first switching instruction to switch the connection of the camera from the second controller to the first controller.
The first controller sends the first switching instruction to the camera switching module, and the camera switching module controls the connection state of the camera, namely the second controller which is connected currently is switched to be connected with the first controller.
After the first controller establishes connection between the camera and the first controller based on the first switching instruction, the first controller can respond to the first HDMI switching identifier, switch the HDMI interface of the first controller to establish communication connection with the second display, and further realize that the display content of the specified application is output to the second display through the HDMI interface for display.
And S24, detecting whether the camera connected with the first controller is in a to-be-called state or not according to a preset detection rule.
The first controller needs to initialize the camera after the camera switching module is called to switch the camera to the first controller, so as to ensure that the camera can be called.
For this reason, in this embodiment, in order to ensure that the camera can be specified to be called by the application, it is required to detect whether the camera is in a to-be-called state through an initialization process, that is, whether the camera is available according to a preset detection rule. The current camera is a camera connected to the first controller through a switching operation.
In one possible specific implementation, the preset detection rule includes a preset detection duration, and in this embodiment, the preset detection duration may be set to 200ms for one detection.
A flowchart of a method of detecting whether a camera is available according to an exemplary embodiment is illustrated in fig. 15. Referring to fig. 15, in detecting whether the camera is available, the first controller is further configured to:
s2411, calling a camera service, and inquiring a camera ID list according to a preset detection time length.
S2412, if the information of the camera connected with the first controller exists in the camera ID list, determining that the camera is in a to-be-called state.
When the first controller initializes the cameras, the cameras which complete the initialization process are stored in a camera ID list, and the serial numbers of the cameras which complete the initialization process are stored in the camera ID list. If the serial number of a certain camera is located in the camera ID list, the fact that the camera has completed initialization processing can be determined, namely the camera is in a to-be-called state, and the fact that the camera is available is determined.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the first controller calls a camera service, and the camera service is used to manage information of the camera. The camera service acquires the camera ID list and queries the camera ID list according to a preset detection duration, for example, the camera ID list may be queried within 200 ms.
The information of the camera can be represented by the serial number of the camera, and if the serial number of the camera which is in a connection state with the first controller exists in the camera ID list of the camera service, the camera is determined to be in a to-be-called state.
In another possible embodiment, when the display device detects the usage status attribute of the camera, the adopted preset detection rule may include a preset detection duration and a preset detection number. The preset detection times refer to the maximum detection times for detecting the use state attribute of the camera.
Fig. 16 is a flowchart illustrating another method of detecting whether a camera is available according to an exemplary embodiment. Specifically, referring to fig. 16, in the present embodiment, in detecting whether the camera is available, the first controller is further configured to:
s2421, calling a camera service, and inquiring a camera ID list according to a preset detection time length.
S2422, counting the cycle detection times when the camera ID list is inquired.
And S2423, if the circulating detection times exceed the preset detection times, determining that the camera is in a to-be-called state.
In this embodiment, the first controller calls the camera service cycle detection camera ID list according to a preset detection duration, for example, 200 ms. After the first detection is completed in 200ms, the second detection is performed, and so on.
In order to ensure that the camera which is connected with the first controller can be called by specified applications in time, the first controller counts the number of times of loop detection, when the number of times of loop detection exceeds the preset number of times of loop detection, the camera is determined to be in a state to be called, and the loop detection process can be finished.
For example, the preset detection times can be set to 3 times, and if the cycle times when the camera service circularly detects the camera ID list exceeds 3 times, it is determined that the camera is in a to-be-called state.
The two methods for detecting whether the camera is available provided in the above embodiment are merely exemplary examples, and in practical applications, other methods may also be used to detect whether the camera is available, and this embodiment is not particularly limited.
And S25, if the camera is in a to-be-called state, establishing connection between the specified application and the camera, and displaying the display content of the specified application on the second display corresponding to the first HDMI switching identifier.
And after the camera is judged to be in a state to be called, the camera is connected with the specified application, so that the specified application is communicated with the camera, the camera is called by the specified application, and the specified application is started. And displaying the display content of the specified application on a second display corresponding to the first HDMI switching identifier while the specified application calls the camera.
After the second controller judges that the designated application needs to be displayed in the second display, the first display does not need to provide social contact capability, and then can enter a standby state, namely the backlight of the first display can be turned off. The backlight of the first display is controlled by a second controller of the second controllers, and thus, the first display is communicatively coupled to the second controller. At this time, in performing turning off the first display backlight, the second controller is further configured to perform the following method:
step 501, receiving a first display backlight closing instruction sent by a first controller, where the first display backlight closing instruction is used to close the backlight of a first display in the first controller.
Step 502, in response to the instruction to turn off the first display backlight, turning off the first display backlight in the first controller.
After the first controller receives the application starting instruction which is sent by the second controller and carries the first HDMI switching identifier, the first display does not need to display relevant information of the specified application, and therefore the first controller can generate an instruction for closing the backlight of the first display and send the instruction to the second controller. The second controller receives and responds to the instruction of closing the first display backlight, and the second controller closes the first display backlight.
And after the backlight of the first display is closed, the first controller continues to execute the processes of camera switching and HDMI interface switching. In this embodiment, the timing when the second controller executes the instruction to turn off the backlight of the first display is prior to the process that the second controller calls the signal source switching module to switch the signal source and displays the display content of the designated application in the second display, and the effect of turning off the backlight first is presented, so that the situation that the backlight of the first display is turned on all the time to affect the visual effect of the user and the experience is poor in the process of switching the signal source and displaying the display content of the designated application is avoided.
To realize the display content of the designated application to be displayed in the second display, the second controller needs to call a content presentation application (LiveTV) to perform the display content presentation, and to this end, the second controller is further configured to:
step 601, starting a content display application, and generating a display interface in the second display, wherein the display interface of the content display application is used for displaying the display content of the designated application.
Step 602, calling the data interface switched by the first controller based on the first HDMI switching identifier, and presenting the display content of the designated application in the display interface corresponding to the second display.
A content presentation application (LiveTV) is configured in the second controller and is started by the second controller. And the content display application is opened to provide a display interface and is displayed in the second display, and the display content of the specified application is presented in the display interface.
And the second controller starts the content display application after sending the application starting instruction to the first controller so as to generate a display interface in the second display.
After the data interface of the first controller is switched to the HDMI interface by the first controller according to the interface switching identifier carried in the application starting instruction, the second controller calls the HDMI interface of the first controller, and the display content of the specified application is output to the second display through the HDMI interface and is presented in the display interface.
Specifically, when the second controller calls the switched data interface of the first controller to display the display content of the specified application, the second controller is further configured to:
step 701, calling a signal source switching module, and switching a signal source of the second controller to an HDMI interface of the first controller, where the HDMI interface is used to transmit display content of a specified application in the first controller.
When the data interface between the two controllers is switched, the switched data interface is an HDMI interface. And after the data interface of the first controller is switched to the HDMI, the first controller waits to be called.
The signal source switching module is used for switching the signal source (data interface) in the display equipment, so that the second controller controls the signal source switching module to switch the signal source of the second controller where the target display is located to the HDMI of the first controller, and the HDMI of the first controller transmits the display content of the designated application.
In the process of switching the signal source by the signal source switching module, although the switching process is short, a blank space appears in the second display. Therefore, in order to avoid displaying the switching state on the second display in a flashing manner, a default interface can be generated and displayed on the second display in the signal source switching process, and the signal source callback process is blocked. And after the signal source switching is completed, synchronously displaying the display interface of the second display and the display content of the designated application.
And step 702, receiving the display content of the specified application transmitted by the HDMI interface, and presenting the display content in the display interface corresponding to the second display.
After the signal source switching module completes the switching of the signal source and the HDMI of the first controller is connected with the second display, the second controller can receive the display content of the designated application in the first controller transmitted through the HDMI. At this time, the second controller has opened the content presentation application and generated the presentation interface in the second display, and thus, the display content of the specified application can be presented in the presentation interface.
In the display device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when the dual-system camera is switched and controlled, the second controller determines the application type of the started designated application, and if the designated application is the first application and needs to be displayed on the second display, the corresponding first HDMI switching identifier is generated and sent to the first controller. The first controller receives the first HDMI switching identification, the fact that the camera needs to be switched can be judged, a first switching instruction is generated immediately, and the first switching instruction is sent to the camera switching module, so that the connection of the camera is switched to the first controller through the second controller. And then detecting whether the camera connected with the first controller is in a to-be-called state or not according to a preset detection rule, if so, establishing connection between the specified application and the camera, and displaying the display content of the specified application on a second display corresponding to the first HDMI switching identifier. Therefore, the display equipment can realize the coordination switching of the camera between the two systems when the application in the first controller is started and the display is needed on the second display.
For example, in a scenario where the camera is switched to the first controller: take the example of starting the designated application "look at the mirror" of the first controller in the display device. After receiving an application starting instruction for starting the mirror-looking application, the second controller determines that the mirror-looking application is an application which is in the first controller and needs to be displayed on the second display, generates a first HDMI switching identifier, and sends the first HDMI switching identifier to the first controller. The first controller generates a first switching instruction according to the first HDMI switching identifier, and switches the camera to be connected with the first controller; the second controller is then notified to turn off the backlight of the first display. And after the backlight of the first display is turned off, the first controller outputs the HDMI interface of the first controller to the second display. And then, circularly detecting whether the camera is in a to-be-called state or not according to the preset detection duration of 200ms, and if the number of circulation times in the detection process exceeds the preset detection number of times or the camera is in the to-be-called state, establishing connection between the camera and the specified application to realize the starting of the specified application. At this time, the second controller starts a Live TV (content presentation application), switches the HDMI interface connection of the signal source and the first controller, and displays the display content of the "look at the mirror" application in the second display. Therefore, when the application in the first controller is started and the application displayed on the second display is needed, the camera switching module is controlled to switch the connection between the camera and the second controller to the first controller.
When the designated application started in the display device is an application configured in the first controller and the application needs to be displayed on the second display, the designated application needs to use the camera, at this time, the first controller controls the camera switching module to switch the connection between the camera and the second controller to the first controller, and the display content of the designated application is displayed on the second display (large screen). If the designated application is finished to be used, namely after the user clicks the remote controller to control the designated application to return to exit, the HDMI interface of the first controller needs to be switched to the first display (small screen), and at the moment, after the first controller returns from the designated application, the first display needs to call the display content of the previous application started before the designated application is started to display. If the previous application is an application that does not require the use of a camera, the camera will then switch back to the second controller by connecting to the first controller.
Therefore, in this scenario, according to the display device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, after the first controller returns from the designated application to the previous application, the camera is also switched back to the second controller by the first controller, so as to implement coordinated switching of the camera.
Fig. 17 is a third flowchart illustrating a dual system camera switching control method according to an exemplary embodiment; fig. 18 is a second data flow diagram illustrating a dual system camera switching control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to fig. 17 and 18, the display device provided in the present embodiment, when implementing the coordinated switching of the cameras, the first controller is configured to execute the following steps:
s31, receiving an exit event broadcast generated by the designated application in response to an application return instruction generated by the designated application when returning to the previous application.
When the display content of the application (specified application) in the first controller that has been started has been presented on the second display. If the user wants to quit the appointed application, the user can trigger the remote controller to generate a return instruction and send the return instruction to the appointed application. After receiving the return instruction, the designated application does not immediately call the logic of the first controller for processing the return instruction, but generates an exit event broadcast and sends the exit event broadcast to the first controller.
Upon exit of a specified application in a first controller (system a) that is displaying in a second display, an exit event broadcast is sent as: com.sense.tv.action.sil _ BACK _ EVENT is broadcast to the first controller. This ACTION broadcast represents an application to exit and return to the previous application. The exit event broadcast is used for identifying that the designated application is to perform an exit operation so as to inform the first controller of preparation for content to be displayed on the first display and the second display respectively after the application returns.
Since the display device provided in this embodiment needs to display the display content of the previous application on the corresponding display after a certain application is exited, the first controller is notified to prepare to search for and acquire the display content of the previous application, and meanwhile, the first controller communicates with the second controller to notify the second controller to prepare the same.
And S32, responding to the exit event broadcast, acquiring the information of the prior application, and sending the information of the prior application to the second controller.
The previous application refers to a last application displayed before the designated application is displayed in the first controller. After receiving the exit event broadcast sent by the designated application, the first controller needs to acquire the information of the previous application. For this purpose, the first controller calls the first development encapsulation module, searches the last application before the specified application is started, namely the previous application, in the stored application starting process list, and acquires the information of the previous application.
The first controller sends the acquired information of the specified application to the second controller, so that the second controller judges the application type of the previous application, namely judges whether the previous application is an application needing to be displayed on the first display or an application needing to be displayed on the second display, further judges whether the previous application needs to use a camera or not, and displays the display content of the previous application on an accurate display.
Fig. 19 is a fourth flowchart illustrating a dual system camera switching control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to fig. 19, in order to implement the coordinated switching of the dual-system cameras, the second controller needs to determine the application type of the previous application, and for this purpose, the second controller is configured to:
and S41, receiving information of a previous application sent by the first controller, wherein the previous application is the last application displayed before the appointed application is displayed in the first controller.
And S42, judging the application type of the prior application based on the information of the prior application, wherein the application type is used for representing whether the prior application is a first application or a second application and whether the prior application is an application needing to be displayed on a first display or an application needing to be displayed on a second display.
The second controller receives the information of the prior application sent by the first controller to judge the application type of the prior application. In this embodiment, since the previous application is an application in the first controller, here, it is only necessary for the second controller to determine whether the previous application needs to be displayed in the first display or the second display.
When the display requirement of the prior application is judged, the query can be carried out in the display list of the second display. The second display list stores all application names required to be displayed on the second display in the first controller and the second controller, for example, package names of the second application and the first application required to be displayed on the second display. The second display list is stored within the second development package module.
Therefore, after receiving the information of the designated application sent by the first controller, the second controller calls the second development packaging module to acquire the display list of the second display. The information of the previous application comprises a name of a previous application package, the name of the package is used for uniquely identifying the starting type of the previous application, namely whether the previous application needs to be displayed on the first display or the second display, and the display list of the second display comprises the name of each application package needing to be displayed on the second display.
In the display device provided in this embodiment, the second controller queries whether a previous application exists in the second display list according to the name of the previous application package, and if so, it indicates that the previous application exists in the second display list, that is, the previous application needs to be displayed on the second display; if the application does not exist, the fact that the prior application does not exist in the display list of the second display is indicated, namely the prior application needs to be displayed on the first display.
And S43, when the previous application is judged to be the first application and needs to be displayed on the first display, generating a corresponding second HDMI switching identifier, and sending the second HDMI switching identifier to the first controller.
If the second controller judges that the type of the prior application is the first application and the application which needs to be displayed on the first display is determined according to the information of the prior application, at this time, after the specified application returns, the prior application called by the first controller is the application in the first controller, and the application needs to be displayed on the first display, so that the HDMI data interface of the first controller needs to be controlled to be switched, and the HDMI Switch module of the first controller connects the display content output interface of the prior application in the first controller to the first display, so that the data interface is switched.
At this time, a second HDMI switching identifier corresponding to the application type of the previous application is generated by the second controller, and the second HDMI switching identifier is used for representing that the first controller needs to switch the HDMI data interface to output to the first display.
And if the second controller judges that the prior application is the application needing to be displayed on the second display, the HDMI data interface in the first controller does not need to be switched, and the connection of the HDMI data interface of the first controller to the second display is continuously maintained.
When the second controller determines that the first controller needs to switch the HDMI data interface, the corresponding second HDMI switching identification needs to be sent to the first controller, if the first controller receives the second HDMI switching identification, the situation that the camera is not needed to be used in the prior application is shown, the camera can be judged to need to be switched, and the camera and the first controller are connected to be switched to be connected with the second controller.
And S33, receiving a second HDMI switching identifier generated after the second controller judges the application type of the prior application according to the information of the prior application.
S34, acquiring information of the camera connected with the first controller based on the second HDMI switching identifier, and detecting whether the camera is in an occupied state.
The first controller receives a second HDMI switching identifier sent by the second controller, which indicates that the previous application needs to be displayed on the first display and does not need to use a camera, so that the first controller needs to switch the camera, that is, after the camera needs to be switched, the connection between the second controller and the camera needs to be established, and the default connection state of the camera is recovered. If the camera is called by other applications after exiting from the connection with the designated application, at this time, the connection between the camera and the second controller cannot be realized.
When whether the camera is in an occupied state or not is detected, the first controller calls a camera service to acquire information of the camera which is in a connection state with the first controller.
Fig. 20 is a flowchart illustrating a method of detecting whether a camera is in an occupied state according to an exemplary embodiment. Specifically, referring to fig. 20, the present embodiment provides the display apparatus, when detecting whether the camera is in an occupied state, the first controller is further configured to:
and S341, after receiving the second HDMI switching identifier, acquiring a camera application list and camera attributes connected with the first controller, wherein application information needing to use a camera is stored in the camera application list.
And S342, judging whether any application occupies the camera or not based on the camera attribute and the camera application list.
And S343, if any application does not occupy the camera, determining that the camera is not in an occupied state.
After receiving the second HDMI switching identifier, the first controller determines that the camera needs to be switched, and therefore when the camera service is called to determine whether the camera is occupied, the first controller needs to acquire the camera application list and the attribute of the camera in a connection state with the first controller. The camera application list can be stored in the camera service, and application information needing to use the camera is stored in the camera application list.
The camera attribute may be set when the camera is called, for example, if the camera is called by some application, the attribute of the camera may be set to sys. If the application disconnects from the camera, the camera attribute is set to sys.
Therefore, the camera attribute and the camera application list are compared, if the camera occupied by any application does not exist in comparison, the camera can be determined not to be in the occupied state, and at the moment, the camera is in the idle state, can be switched and is connected with the second controller.
Fig. 21 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining whether an application occupies a camera according to an exemplary embodiment. Specifically, referring to fig. 21, in particular, the display device provided in this embodiment, when determining whether there is an application occupying camera, the first controller is further configured to:
s3421, acquiring the current attribute value of the camera attribute.
The camera attribute is set by the application package name calling the camera, if a certain application calls the camera, the camera attribute is the package name of the application, and if the certain application is not called by any application, the camera attribute is null. Thus, the current attribute value may include an application package name and a null value.
S3422, if the current attribute value is the application package name, judging whether the application package name in the camera attribute is matched with the application package name in the camera application list.
The camera application list stores each application package name that needs to use the camera application. When the camera service detects that the current attribute value of the camera is the application package name, comparing the application package name in the camera application list with the application package name corresponding to the current attribute value.
If the application package name corresponding to the current attribute value is consistent with one of the application package names in the camera application list in comparison, it is indicated that a certain application needing to use the camera occupies the camera; if the application package name corresponding to the current attribute value is inconsistent with any application package name in the camera application list, it indicates that the camera is not called by an application needing to use the camera, and the camera is in an idle state.
S3423, if the application package name in the camera attribute is matched with the application package name in the camera application list, determining that the camera is in an occupied state.
And calling a camera service by the first controller to judge that the application package name in the camera attribute is matched with the application package name in the camera application list, determining that the camera is in an occupied state, and at the moment, switching operation cannot be performed on the camera.
S3424, if the current attribute value is a null value, determining that the camera is not in an occupied state.
When the camera service detects that the current attribute value of the camera is a null value, the camera is not connected with any application configured by the two controllers, namely the camera is determined not to be in an occupied state, and at the moment, the camera can be switched.
And S35, generating a second switching instruction when the camera is not in an occupied state, and sending the second switching instruction to the camera switching module, wherein the camera switching module is used for responding to the second switching instruction to switch the connection of the camera from the first controller to the second controller.
When the first controller detects that the camera is not in an occupied state, a second switching instruction is immediately generated, the second switching instruction is used for switching the connection between the camera and the first controller to the connection between the camera and the second controller, and the default connection state between the camera and the second controller is recovered.
If the second controller judges that the prior application is the application in the first controller and does not need to be displayed in the second display, the first controller receives the second HDMI switching identifier, at the moment, the prior application does not need to use the camera, so that a second switching instruction is generated and sent to the camera switching module, the camera switching module controls the connection state of the camera, namely, the first controller which is connected at present is switched back to be connected with the second controller.
And if the second controller determines that the previous application is an application that needs to be displayed on the second display, that is, an application that needs to use the camera, the second controller will not generate the second switching flag. Therefore, the first controller cannot receive the second switch identifier, which means that the HDMI interface of the first controller does not need to be switched, and the camera does not need to be switched. Therefore, the first controller does not need to control the switching of the camera, and the connection between the camera and the first controller is maintained.
After the designated application in the first controller returns, the second controller determines that the previous application in the first controller does not need to be displayed in the second display, and therefore, the HDMI interface of the first controller needs to be switched back to be connected with the first display to display the display content of the previous application in the first display. To this end, in order to ensure that the display content of the previous application can be accurately displayed in the corresponding display, in the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, when performing the presentation of the display content of the previous application, the first controller is further configured to:
step 1201, obtaining a current HDMI output identifier corresponding to the display content of the specified application when displaying, where the HDMI output identifier is used to represent whether the display content of the specified application is being displayed on the first display or the second display.
Step 1202, judging whether the second HDMI switching identifier is consistent with the current HDMI output identifier.
Step 1203, if the second HDMI switch identifier is not consistent with the current HDMI output identifier, displaying the previously applied display content on the first display corresponding to the second HDMI switch identifier.
In this embodiment, if the previous application is an application that needs to be displayed on the first display, it is indicated that the second HDMI Switch identifier generated by the second controller needs to control the output interface of the HDMI Switch module to be switched to the first display. At this time, in order to accurately determine whether the HDMI interface currently connected to the designated application needs to perform switching, that is, whether the HDMI interface is switched to the first display, it is necessary to obtain a current HDMI output identifier when the designated application displays content on a certain display, so as to clearly specify whether the HDMI output interface of the designated application is currently connected to the first display or the second display.
When determining whether the HDMI output interface currently connected to the designated application needs to be switched to the first display, the determining method adopted in this embodiment is to compare the second HDMI switch identifier (corresponding to the previous application) with the current HDMI output identifier (corresponding to the designated application).
Since the second HDMI switch identifier may indicate that the output interface of the previous application should be connected to the first display, if the second HDMI switch identifier is not consistent with the current HDMI output identifier, that is, the display being displayed by the designated application is not consistent with the display to be displayed by the previous application, it indicates that the display content of the designated application is being displayed on the second display.
At this time, the first controller needs to switch the HDMI output interface from the second display to the first display according to the second HDMI switch identifier, and display the previously applied display content on the first display, so that the designated application outputs the display content in the first controller to the first display and displays the display content after executing the return.
After the designated application displayed in the second display is exited, the first display displays the display content of the previous application, and at this time, the second display also displays the display content of the application that was started before the designated application was displayed. To this end, in the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, when it is ensured that the display content exists in the second display, the second controller is further configured to:
step 1301, searching the previous application displayed on the second display, wherein the previous application refers to the application displayed before the designated application is displayed in the second display.
Step 1302, after the display of the display content of the designated application is finished, acquiring the display content of the previous application, and displaying the display content of the previous application on the second display.
The second controller receives the information of the prior application sent by the first controller, judges the starting type of the prior application, calls the second development packaging module, and acquires the last application displayed before the appointed application is displayed in a second application list which is stored in the second controller according to the time sequence and is started each time.
And the second controller stops displaying the display content of the specified application, acquires the display content of the last application and displays the display content on the second display, and after the specified application returns to execute, the display content in the second controller is output to the second display and displayed.
Since the backlight of the first display is in an off state when the first display is not used, the backlight of the first display needs to be turned on again after the first controller completes the switching of the HDMI output interface and displays the previously applied display content. Specifically, in performing turning on the first display backlight, the first controller is further configured to: and sending a first display backlight starting instruction to the second controller, wherein the first display backlight starting instruction is used for the second controller to start the backlight of the first display in the first controller.
Since the backlight of the first display is controlled by the second controller, the first display is now in communicative connection with the second controller. Thus, the second controller is further configured to: receiving a first display backlight starting instruction sent by a first controller, wherein the first display backlight starting instruction is used for starting the backlight of a first display in the first controller; and in response to the instruction for starting the first display backlight, starting the backlight of the first display in the first controller.
The first controller needs to turn on the backlight of the first display again for the user's viewing convenience after outputting the display contents of the previous application to the first display. Therefore, the first controller generates a first display backlight starting instruction and sends the first display backlight starting instruction to the second controller, and the second controller receives and responds to the first display backlight starting instruction to start the backlight of the first display, so that a user can view the display content of the specific application displayed in the first display.
In this embodiment, the first controller outputs the display content of the previous application to the first display after the first controller sends the backlight turning-on instruction of the first display, so as to present a "backlight turning-on-back" effect, thereby avoiding the situation that the first display is preferentially turned on but the display content of the previous application is not displayed in the first display at this time, and avoiding the blank display from being seen by the user.
As can be seen, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for outputting to the second display through the HDMI interface of the current first controller, and returning to the scene of the application to be displayed on the first display in the first controller. In this scenario, when the dual-system camera switching control method is executed, the first controller receives an exit event broadcast generated after the return of the specified application to acquire information of the previous application. And when the second controller judges that the application type of the prior application is the application needing to be displayed in the first display according to the information of the prior application, generating a second HDMI switching identifier and sending the second HDMI switching identifier to the first controller. And after receiving the second HDMI switching identifier, the first controller detects whether the camera is in an occupied state, and generates a second switching instruction when the camera is not in the occupied state so as to switch the connection of the camera from the first controller to the second controller. Therefore, after the display equipment exits the designated application, when the display content calling the prior application is judged to be displayed on the first display, the camera can be coordinated and switched between the two systems.
For example, in a scenario where HDMI of the current system a (first controller) is output to a large screen (second display), and needs to return to an application that the system a needs to display on a small screen (first display), and switch the camera back to the second controller:
at present, the large screen of the television displays video playing (such as playing video by a media center), and the small screen displays time weather (a homepage of a system A). The user has started an application (first application) that needs to be displayed on the large screen in system a, such as: after looking into the mirror, press the remote control return key:
firstly, after receiving a return key, the mirror application of the system A does not call the processing return logic of the system A, but sends SILO _ BACK _ EVENT (exit EVENT) broadcast to the first controller, and the first controller inquires that the last application (the previous application) is the homepage of the system A according to an application starting process list stored in the first development and encapsulation module after receiving the SILO _ BACK _ EVENT, and sends the name information of the application package to the second controller. And after receiving the application packet name, the second controller judges that the previous application does not need to be displayed in the second display according to the application packet name, and then generates a second HDMI switching identifier for identifying that the HDMI Switch module in the first controller needs to be switched to a small screen.
Then, the second controller sends the generated second HDMI switch identifier to the first controller through the data path, and meanwhile, the second controller queries the last application in the system N as the media center. After receiving the second HDMI switching identifier, the first controller determines that camera switching is required, the current Top Activity of the system A is ended first, then the system automatically pulls up the previous application (system A homepage), then whether the second HDMI switching identifier is the same as the current HDMI output identifier is judged, if not, the HDMI output interface is switched to the HDMI connected with the small screen according to the second HDMI switching identifier so as to display the system A homepage (previous application) on the small screen (first display), and then the first controller informs the second controller to turn on the small screen backlight.
The first controller calls a camera service to detect whether the camera is occupied, namely whether an application occupies the camera is judged according to the camera application list and the camera attribute, if the attribute value is control, it is determined that no application occupies the camera, then a second switching instruction is generated, and the camera switching module is controlled to switch the camera to be connected with the second controller. At the same time, the second controller also ends the Top availability of the current system N, returns to the previous application (media center), and displays the media center on a large screen (second display). Therefore, after the appointed application exits, when the display content for calling the prior application is judged to be displayed on the first display, the camera switching module is controlled to switch the connection between the camera and the first controller to the second controller.
It can be seen that according to the foregoing embodiments, whether the first controller needs to switch the camera is determined according to whether the first controller receives the HDMI switch identifier sent by the second controller, for example, if the first controller receives the first HDMI switch identifier, it indicates that the application in the first controller needs to use the camera. At this time, the camera switching module is controlled to switch the camera from the connection with the second controller to the connection with the first controller. If the first controller receives the second HDMI switching identifier, the fact that the camera is not needed by the application in the first controller is shown. At this time, the camera switching module is controlled to switch the camera from being connected with the first controller to being connected with the second controller. Therefore, the display device provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize timely switching of the camera following the started application, so as to ensure that the application can call the camera in time.
As can be seen from the foregoing technical solutions, in the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, when the second controller determines that the designated application is the first application and needs to be displayed on the second display, the second controller generates the first HDMI switching identifier and sends the first HDMI switching identifier to the first controller; the first controller generates a first switching instruction after receiving the first HDMI switching identifier and sends the first switching instruction to the camera switching module so as to switch the connection of the camera from the second controller to the first controller. After the appointed application exits, the first controller acquires information of a previous application and sends the information to the second controller, and when the second controller judges that the previous application is the first application and needs to be displayed on the first display, the second controller generates a second HDMI switching identifier and sends the second HDMI switching identifier to the first controller; and the first controller generates a second switching instruction after receiving the second HDMI switching identifier and sends the second switching instruction to the camera switching module so as to switch the connection of the camera back to the second controller. Therefore, according to the display device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first controller controls the camera switching module according to whether the HDMI switching identifier is received, so that the camera is switched in real time along with the started application, the application on the dual systems can flexibly call the camera, and the camera can be further ensured to be coordinately switched between the two systems.
