The hardware or software architecture in some embodiments may be based on the description in the foregoing embodiments, and in some embodiments may be based on other similar hardware or software architectures, which may implement the technical solutions of the present application.

Based on the above-described display device 200, after start-up, a recording may be made based on PVR technology for a program that is being played or is about to be played. A display effect schematic of program recording according to some embodiments is schematically shown in fig. 5. As shown in fig. 5, after the user triggers the corresponding screen recording function, the display device 200 may display, through a display control, that the screen recording is being performed at this time and that the progress of the screen recording is performed on the user interface of the currently playing media asset. Currently, the recording of programs in the display device 200 is usually implemented by connecting a mobile hard disk or a built-in hard disk to the display device 200, and storing the recorded programs in the hard disk.

In some embodiments, the same user may configure multiple display devices 200, for example, the user may configure one display device 200 in each of a living room and a bedroom, and the user may want to record a program while watching the program in the bedroom through the display device 200, and then find that the display device 200 in the bedroom is not connected to an external hard disk, and the display device in the living room is connected to the hard disk, then the user may only abandon recording, or open the display device to the living room for recording. In a further alternative, the user may find that the previously recorded program is in the living room's display device when he wants to watch the recorded television program in the bedroom. The user can only walk to the living room to view the program or forego viewing. In addition, if external hard disks are added to all the display devices 200, the cost is increased, and meanwhile, because recorded programs cannot be shared, programs recorded by the living room display device cannot be watched in a bedroom, and the use is inconvenient. Above, make the user experience effect not good. In order to improve the experience effect of a user, some embodiments of the present application provide a display device, an intelligent device, and a program recording control method.

The following describes the program recording control process provided in some embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A flow chart of a program recording control method according to some embodiments is schematically shown in fig. 6. The present application provides in some embodiments a display device 200 comprising a display 260 and a controller 250, the controller 250 being communicatively coupled to the display 260, the controller being configured to perform the process of program recording control in fig. 6.

Referring to fig. 6, the program recording control process is as follows:

s601: and responding to the input recording instruction, and detecting the starting-up state of the main recording equipment, wherein the main recording equipment and the display equipment are connected in the same local area network, and the storage capacity of the main recording equipment is larger than the preset storage capacity.

In some embodiments, when a user wants to record a program played in the display device 200, a recording instruction may be input to the display device 200 to record the corresponding program. In one implementation, a user may select a recording control on a display device via a directional button and a confirm button on a remote control. In another implementation, the user may also issue a recording instruction through voice control, for example, the user continues to input "record currently playing program" to the display device 200 after inputting a wake-up word to the display device 200.

For convenience of description, for a plurality of display devices configured by a user, the plurality of display devices are connected in the same local area network, and for an external mobile hard disk or an internal hard disk, that is, a display device with a storage capacity greater than a preset capacity is called a main recording device. Of course, the main recording device may have one or more. That is, the main recording device is connected to the mobile hard disk, and can record programs and store the recorded programs.

In some embodiments, a device type conversion control is provided in the display device 200, and after the user selects the device type conversion control in the display device to which the mobile hard disk is connected, the display device 200 is converted into a main recording device. The primary recording device may be shut down from the network streaming service to facilitate sharing of recorded programs by other display devices 200.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 may receive a user input of a discovery device operation, e.g., turning on a device discovery switch in the display device. After receiving the generating device operation, the display device 200 transmits a broadcast message for discovering the main recording device within the local area network. The display device previously converted into the main recording device may respond and feed back a response message thereto.

In some embodiments, after receiving the response message fed back by the main recording device according to the broadcast message, the display device 200 controls the display 260 to display a device list, where the device list includes at least one main recording device. A display effect diagram of a device list page according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 7. In the device list, the device name, MAC address, device status, and the like of the main recording device scanned by the display device 200 are shown. The operation options may also be set in the device list, so that after receiving the operation of the user, the corresponding main recording device is remotely controlled to be turned on or off.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 receives a selection operation of a main recording device in the device list, which is input by a user, and stores the main recording device corresponding to the selection operation. Here, for multiple main recording devices, in one implementation, a user may set one of the main recording devices as a default device, and then preferably uses the default device to perform operations such as recording a program. In another implementation, when the recording operation is subsequently performed, a list of the main recording devices stored is displayed in the display device 200, and the user decides which main recording device to use.

S602: when the main recording device is detected to be started, the recording instruction is sent to the main recording device, so that the main recording device carries out corresponding recording according to the recording instruction.

In some embodiments, after receiving the recording instruction, the display device 200 detects that the state of the main recording device is the on state, and then the display device 200 may directly send the recording instruction to the on main recording device. The main recording device can perform corresponding recording after receiving the recording instruction. Here, the recording instruction may be a real-time recording instruction or a scheduled recording instruction. For example, the real-time recording instruction may include a field of an address of a program to be recorded, an identification representing an immediate recording screen, etc., and the scheduled recording instruction may include a field of an address of a recorded program, a start time of a recorded program, etc.

In some embodiments, the main recording device detects whether the recording instruction is a real-time recording instruction or a scheduled recording instruction after receiving the recording instruction. If the real-time recording instruction is the real-time recording instruction, searching the program according to the address of the program to be recorded and immediately starting recording. If the program is the scheduled recording instruction, searching the program according to the address of the program to be recorded and recording according to the time of the recorded program.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 may control the main recording device to stand by after the recording of the main recording device is completed, or control the main recording device to continue to control the main recording device to keep the background on state after the recording is completed.

S603: when the main recording equipment is detected to be not started, if the recording instruction indicates real-time recording, starting temporary recording according to the recording instruction, and sending a wake-up instruction to the main recording equipment; and when a starting signal fed back by the main recording equipment is received, the temporary recording content and the recording instruction are sent to the main recording equipment, so that the main recording equipment carries out corresponding recording according to the recording instruction and based on the temporary recording content.

In some embodiments, after receiving the recording instruction, the display device 200 detects that the state of the main recording device is an un-powered state, and the display device 200 needs to determine whether the recording instruction is a real-time recording instruction at the same time. If the recording instruction currently input by the user is a real-time recording instruction, the display device 200 searches for the program according to the address of the program to be recorded and immediately performs temporary recording. It is to be noted that, here, it is considered that the storage capacity of the display device that performs the temporary recording of the program is small. Of course, if the storage capacity of the display device is greater than the preset storage capacity, normal recording may be directly started.

In some embodiments, when the display device 200 initiates the temporary recording, a Wake-up instruction is sent to the main recording device, e.g., the display device 200 controls the main recording device to boot up in the background through WOL (Wake On LAN-LAN Wake-up). After the main recording device is awakened to start, a start-up signal is fed back to the display device 200, so that the display device 200 can determine that the main recording device is started in the background.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 sends the previously temporarily recorded content and recording instructions to the main recording device after waking up the main recording device. The main recording device searches for the program according to the address of the program to be recorded, determines the recording progress of the program to be recorded according to the temporary recording content, and based on the current recording progress, the main recording device 200 continues recording. The main recording device combines the received temporary recorded content with the content recorded by itself.

In some embodiments, when the display device 200 detects that the main recording device is not turned on and detects that the recording instruction indicates that recording is scheduled, the display device 200 may send a wake-up instruction to only the main recording device, without having to start temporary recording.
