Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an operation scenario between a display device and a control apparatus according to an embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, a user may operate the display apparatus 200 through the smart device 300 or the control device 100.
In some embodiments, the control apparatus 100 may be a remote controller, and the communication between the remote controller and the display device includes an infrared protocol communication or a bluetooth protocol communication, and other short-distance communication methods, and controls the display device 200 in a wireless or wired manner. The user may input a user instruction through a key on a remote controller, voice input, control panel input, etc., to control the display apparatus 200.
In some embodiments, the smart device 300 (e.g., mobile terminal, tablet, computer, laptop, etc.) may also be used to control the display device 200. For example, the display device 200 is controlled using an application program running on the smart device.
In some embodiments, the display device 200 may also be controlled in a manner other than the control apparatus 100 and the smart device 300, for example, the voice command control of the user may be directly received by a module configured inside the display device 200 to obtain a voice command, or may be received by a voice control device provided outside the display device 200.
In some embodiments, the display device 200 is also in data communication with a server 400. The display device 200 may be allowed to be communicatively connected through a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and other networks. The server 400 may provide various contents and interactions to the display apparatus 200. The server 400 may be a cluster or a plurality of clusters, and may include one or more types of servers.
In some embodiments, the display device may directly enter a display interface of a signal source selected last time after being started, or a signal source selection interface, where the signal source may be a preset video-on-demand program, or may be at least one of an HDMI interface, a live tv interface, and the like, and after a user selects different signal sources, the display may display contents obtained from different signal sources.
In some embodiments, a signal source entered by the display device after being started is a live television interface, and the display device may acquire live streaming data of a default channel of the live television interface from the server and then play the live streaming data, where the default channel may be a channel that is watched by the user last time.
In some embodiments, the live channel may be a movie live channel, and the server may program a plurality of movies for the movie live channel, so that the movies are played in sequence on the movie live channel. However, some movies require higher equipment capability, which causes some movies with lower configuration or lower software version to be jammed or even failed to play when playing movie, and affects the physical examination of the user. The device capabilities may include, among other things, configuration parameters of the television, such as resolution, range of speakers, etc.
In order to solve the problems, when the server issues live broadcast stream data to the display equipment, the server can screen live broadcast media assets and only sends the media assets which are supported to be played by the display equipment.
In some embodiments, the server interacting with the display device may be referred to as a terminal-oriented server, and in addition to the terminal-oriented server, the server on the display device side includes an operation server, a media resource library, a device capability library, and other servers. The operation server is used when an operator arranges live broadcast media resources for each live broadcast channel; the media asset library is a server for storing media asset information, and the media asset information can comprise equipment capacity required by media assets; the equipment capability library is used for storing equipment capability information of each type of television, wherein the television can jointly determine the type according to the model version and the software version of the live television interface, and if the model versions of the two televisions are the same and the software versions of the live television interfaces are also the same, the two televisions can be considered to be of the same type and have the same equipment capability.
In some embodiments, the servers facing the terminal server, the operation server, the media asset library, the device capability library, and the like may also be implemented on one device, or may also be implemented on multiple devices, which is not limited in this application.

TABLE 1
Referring to table 1, the device capability information may include parameters such as whether the device is a 4K asset, whether the device is a DRM asset, whether the device is a 3D asset, and whether the device is a dolby asset, where the parameters are determined by a model version and a software version, False indicates no, and True indicates yes.
The meanings of table 1 are: the television with the model version of TV1.0 and the software version of 01.102.139 does not support the playing of 4k media assets, DRM media assets, 3D media assets and 1080p media assets.
In some embodiments, the device capability information is stored in a collection. Illustratively, this set is referred to as a first set, denoted Fdev. The corresponding first set of table 1 is: fdev1080 p. For a display device A which does not support 4k play, DRM play, 3D media asset play, Dolby View media asset and 1080p media asset, the corresponding set of device capability information is FdevDRM, 3D, dolby view, 1080 p. For a display device B supporting 4k play, DRM play, 3D media asset play, Dolby View media asset and 1080p media asset, the corresponding set of device capability information is Fdev{4k, DRM, 3D, dolby view, 1080p }. It can be seen that, for different display devices, the parameter items in the set corresponding to the device capability information may be different, where the parameter items are elements in the set, such as 4k, DRM, 3D, dolby view, 1080 p. In some embodiments, the content of the asset data in the asset library is as shown in table 2:
TABLE 2
| Name of field | Field description | Examples of field values |
| media_id | Media asset ID | 50001001 |
| media_name | Name of media asset | “A” |
| duration | Duration of media asset play | 60min |
| url | Media asset playing address | xxxxx |
| is_4k | Whether 4k media asset | True |
| is_drm | Whether DRM media assets | False |
| is_3d | Whether 3D media asset | True |
| Is_dolby_vision | Whether Dolby view media assets | False |
| … | … | … |
Referring to table 2, the device capability requirement information may include parameters such as whether the device capability requirement information is a 4K asset, whether the device capability requirement information is a DRM asset, whether the device capability requirement information is a 3D asset, and whether the device capability requirement information is a dolby asset, where the asset ID is an asset identifier, False indicates no, and True indicates yes.
The meanings of table 2 are: the asset ID is 50001001, the asset name is 'A', the duration of playing the asset is 60 minutes, the playing address of the asset is xxxxx, the asset is 4k asset, and is 3D asset, not Dolby View asset.
In some embodiments, the device capability requirement information is stored in a set. Illustratively, this set is referred to as a second set, denoted Freq. The corresponding second set of table 2 is: freq4k, 3D. As can be seen, the corresponding second set of Table 2 is a subset of display device B, i.e.
The media assets corresponding to table 2 can be successfully played if being played on the display device B, and will fail to be played if being played on the display device a.
In some embodiments, an operator may create a live channel through the operation server, and when creating the live channel, may specify the media assets to be selected for the live channel, and may subsequently update the media assets to be selected. The media assets to be selected are live media assets which can be selectively played in the live channel, all the media assets to be selected can be played in the live channel for the display equipment with higher configuration, and the media assets to be selected with lower requirements can be selectively played in the live channel for the display equipment with lower configuration.
Illustratively, a method for creating a live channel is as follows: an operator creates a live broadcast channel on an operation server through an OP page, configures the name of the channel as a science fiction movie channel, configures the live broadcast start time of the channel as XX month XX 08:00 in XX year and the end time as XX month XX20:00 in XX year. The operator sets the asset IDs of the 8 movies in the to-be-selected channel asset list of the live channel, and after the configuration is completed, the operation server can generate and display a channel identifier, i.e., a channel ID, of the live channel.
In some embodiments, the operation server generates a resource pool to be selected according to the information of the live channel input by the user and the channel identifier of the live channel, and stores the resource pool according to the channel identifier of the live channel.
In some embodiments, the candidate resource pool may include contents as shown in table 3:
TABLE 3
Referring to table 3, the resource pool to be selected may include a channel ID of a live channel, a channel name, a channel play start time, a channel play end time, and a channel candidate list, where the channel ID is a channel identifier, the channel candidate list is live data to be selected, and the channel ID, the channel name, the channel play start time, and the channel play end time are live configuration data.
The meanings of table 3 are: the channel ID is 10001 of live broadcast channel, the channel name is "science fiction movie channel", the channel is configured to start playing from XX month XX day 08:00 of XX year and finish playing from XX month XX day 20:00 of XX year, and the asset ID of all the assets to be selected of the channel is 50001001,50001002,50001003,50001004,50001005,50001006,50001007,50001008.
In some embodiments, after configuring a live channel, an operator may continue to configure the resource pool to be selected of the next live channel.
After the operator configures the resource pool to be selected of a live channel, if the user starts playing the live channel, the terminal-oriented server can screen the media resources which are supported to be played by the terminal equipment for the terminal equipment of the user from the resource pool to be selected.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a method for starting a live channel according to some embodiments, where the method is used for a terminal-oriented server, as shown in fig. 2, the playing method may include the following steps:
step S110: and receiving a live channel play starting request from the display equipment, wherein the live channel play starting request comprises a channel identifier and an equipment capability identifier of the display equipment.
In some embodiments, after receiving a live channel start request, the terminal-oriented server extracts a channel identifier and a device capability identifier of the display device from the live channel start request.
Step S120: and responding to the broadcast starting request of the live broadcast channel, and acquiring live broadcast data to be selected corresponding to the channel identification, wherein each channel identification corresponds to a set of live broadcast data to be selected, and the live broadcast data to be selected comprises a plurality of media asset identifications.
In some embodiments, the terminal-oriented server may obtain, according to the channel identifier, a media resource pool of a live channel corresponding to the channel identifier from the operation server. The media resource pool comprises live broadcast data to be selected and live broadcast configuration data, the live broadcast data to be selected comprises a channel data list to be selected, the channel data list comprises media resource identifiers of a plurality of media resources to be selected, and the live broadcast configuration data comprises a channel ID, a channel name, channel playing start time and channel playing end time.
Step S130: and matching the equipment capacity information corresponding to the equipment capacity identification with the equipment capacity requirement information corresponding to each media asset identification, and screening the media asset identification successfully matched with the equipment capacity requirement information from the live broadcast data to be selected.
In some embodiments, the matching of the device capability identifier and the media asset identifier means that the device capability information corresponding to the device capability identifier is successfully matched with the device capability requirement information corresponding to the media asset identifier, where the successful matching may mean that the second set corresponding to the media asset identifier is a subset of the first set corresponding to the device capability identifier.
The device capabilities of display device a are: if _4K ═ False, If _ drm ═ True, If _3d ═ True, and If _ dolby _ vision ═ False, that is, display device a does not support 4K, does not support dolby, as long as the candidate assets do not require 4K and dolby, such candidate assets can be played on display device a.
That is, the display device a can support playing the following properties of the media assets:
(1)is_4k＝False、is_drm＝True、is_3d＝True、Is_dolby_vision＝False；
(2)is_4k＝False、is_drm＝False、is_3d＝True、Is_dolby_vision＝False；
(3)is_4k＝False、is_drm＝True、is_3d＝False、Is_dolby_vision＝False；
(4)is_4k＝False、is_drm＝False、is_3d＝False、Is_dolby_vision＝False。
if the media asset to be selected requires one or two items of 4k and the Dolby view, the media asset to be selected cannot be played on the display device A.
In some embodiments, the terminal-oriented server obtains the device capability information of the display device from the device capability library according to the device capability identifier in the broadcast start request of the live channel, and obtains the first set.
In some embodiments, the operation server stores the device capability requirement information of each media asset to be selected, and the terminal-oriented server may obtain the device capability requirement information of each media asset to be selected from the operation server to obtain the second set.
In some embodiments, only the media asset identifier and the media asset name of each media asset to be selected are stored in the operation server, and the terminal-oriented server can acquire the equipment capacity requirement information of each media asset to be selected from the media asset library according to the media asset ID.
In some embodiments, after acquiring the device capability requirement information of each media asset to be selected and the device capability information of the display device, the terminal-oriented server can match the device capability information with the device capability requirement information, if the matching is successful, the media asset identifier is reserved, and if the matching is failed, the media asset identifier is removed.
Referring to fig. 3, which is a schematic flow chart of a method for screening candidate assets according to some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, the method may include the following steps:
step S301: and inquiring the first media asset to be selected.
In some embodiments, the terminal-oriented server may obtain the asset identifier of the first to-be-selected asset from a channel to-be-selected asset list in the live to-be-selected data. Illustratively, referring to Table 3, the asset identifier of the first candidate asset is 50001001.
Step S302: and inquiring the required equipment capability of the current media assets to be selected.
In some embodiments, the terminal-oriented server may obtain, from the media asset identifier, the device capability requirement information corresponding to the media asset identifier from the media asset repository. The device capability requirement information represents the device capability required by the media assets to be selected.
Step S303: and judging whether the display equipment supports the equipment capacity required by the media assets to be selected.
In some embodiments, if the first set corresponding to the current candidate asset is the same as the second set corresponding to the display device, the device capability required by the display device to support the candidate asset is represented.
In some embodiments, if the first set corresponding to the current candidate asset is a subset of the second set corresponding to the display device, the device capability required by the display device to support the candidate asset is represented.
In some embodiments, if the first set corresponding to the current candidate asset is different from the second set corresponding to the display device, and the first set corresponding to the current candidate asset is not a subset of the second set corresponding to the display device, it indicates that the display device does not support the device capability required by the candidate asset.
Step S304: if yes, adding the current media assets to be selected into the slice arrangement time sequence table.
In some embodiments, if the display device supports the device capability required by the media asset to be selected, the piece-ordering table may be sorted, and the identifier of the media asset to be selected may be added to the piece-ordering table, where the channel playing start time and the channel playing end time in the piece-ordering table are obtained according to table 3.
Step S305: and judging whether the next media asset to be selected exists.
Step S306: and if the next media resource to be selected exists, processing the next media resource to be selected.
In some embodiments, if there is a next candidate asset, the process returns to step S303 to start processing the next candidate asset.
Step S140: and generating live broadcast channel data containing the channel identification and the screened media asset identification.

Step S150: and feeding back the live channel data to the display equipment.
In some embodiments, after the terminal-oriented server feeds back the live channel data to the display device, the display device may start playing the media assets of the live channel.
To further explain the interaction between the display device and the terminal-oriented server and the interaction between the terminal-oriented server and other servers in the above process, fig. 4 shows a schematic view of the play-out timing of the live channel according to some embodiments. As shown in fig. 4, if a terminal user starts playing a live channel on the terminal device, or the display device enters a default live channel after being turned on, the display device may generate a live channel start-play request and send the live channel start-play request to the terminal-oriented server. The broadcast request of the live channel may include a channel identifier and a device capability identifier of the display device, where the device capability identifier may include a model version and a software version shown in table 1.
In some embodiments, after receiving the live channel start request, the terminal-oriented server may extract the channel identifier and the device capability identifier from the live channel start request. And acquiring the equipment capacity information of the display equipment from the equipment capacity library according to the equipment capacity identification. And acquiring a media resource pool corresponding to the channel identifier from the operation server according to the channel identifier.
In some embodiments, the result returned by the operation server is:

In some embodiments, after the terminal-oriented server acquires the resource pool corresponding to the channel identifier, a program _ list (scheduling schedule) may be generated, where the initial scheduling schedule is empty, that is, the program _ list [ ].
In some embodiments, the terminal-oriented server may extract a resource identifier of each to-be-selected resource from a resource pool, then obtain resource information of the to-be-selected resource corresponding to the resource identifier from a resource pool, obtain a device capability required by the to-be-selected resource according to the resource information, compare the device capability required by the to-be-selected resource with a device capability of a display device, if the device capability required by the to-be-selected resource is consistent with the device capability of the display device, confirm that the display device can play the to-be-selected resource, if one or more parameters are inconsistent, confirm that the display device cannot play the to-be-selected resource, filter the to-be-selected resource, and continue to process the next to-be-selected resource.
Therefore, each media resource to be selected is processed in a circulating mode, the media resource to be selected supported by the display device can be screened out from the media resource pool finally, and the screened media resource to be selected can be called target media resource.
The screening process of the media assets to be selected is further described below by taking the example that the display device a supports the playing of part of the media assets to be selected and the display device B supports the playing of all the media assets to be selected, respectively.
In some embodiments, for the display device a, the terminal-oriented server performs screening processing on the media assets to be selected one by one according to the order of the channel media asset list to be selected.

program_list＝[
[
{media_id:50001002，start_time:XX/XX/XX 08:00,end_time:XX/XX/XX09:00}
]
in the slicing schedule, the start _ time is the time when a to-be-selected asset starts playing, the start _ time of the to-be-selected asset added to the slicing schedule is configured to be the same as the start _ time of the live channel, the start _ time of the to-be-selected asset added to the slicing schedule is configured to be the same as the end _ time of the to-be-selected asset in the slicing schedule, and the end _ time of each to-be-selected asset is the start _ time of the to-be-selected asset plus the duration of the to-be-selected asset.
For the candidate media assets with media asset identification numbers of 50001003-50001008, the processing process can refer to the process.
