Description

Method and device for starting aging test

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of televisions, in particular to a method and a device for starting an aging test.

Background

As is well known, before a television enters a consumer market, a manufacturer of the television needs to perform an aging test on the whole television, hereinafter referred to as an aging test, wherein the aging test time is usually 48 to 72 hours; after the aging test is passed, other subsequent test items can be started, and after all the test items are completed, the television can enter a consumer market for users to purchase.

Generally, the aging test of the whole machine on a test production line is a batch test, and the number of the aging test is dozens of tests, the number of the aging test is thousands of tests, the test quantity is large, and the test time is long. If unexpected power failure occurs during the aging test of the whole machine, the aging test of the whole machine is interrupted. When the test board on the test production line is powered on again, all the televisions on the test board need testers to manually start the whole aging test again. Because the whole machine aging test is large in quantity, if a tester manually starts each television, the test efficiency of a test production line is seriously influenced.

Therefore, how to improve the test efficiency of the aging test is a problem which needs to be solved urgently at present.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a method and a device for starting an aging test, which can improve the test efficiency of the aging test of a complete machine.

In a first aspect, a method for starting a burn-in test is provided, including: reading an aging state variable in a power-on state; when the aging state variable indicates that a first aging test is not completed, the first aging test is started.

The above method may be performed by a terminal device. For example, the terminal device is a television, the application scenario is that a batch of televisions simultaneously perform a whole-machine aging test (i.e., an aging test), and in the process of the batch television aging test, if a test production line is suddenly powered off, all televisions in the aging test on the test production line are subjected to an interruption test. And after the test production line is electrified again, all the televisions on the test production line are in an electrified state. In the power-on state, a monitoring program inside the television system is already started. The monitoring program reads the aging state variable, and if the aging state variable is detected to indicate that the television aging test is not finished, the television is controlled to be switched to a power-on state and a first aging test is started. Therefore, under the condition of unexpected power failure during the aging test of the television, the television can be automatically started and the aging test can be started after being electrified again without any manual participation, so that a large amount of manpower is saved, and the testing efficiency of the aging test is improved.

Optionally, the initiating the first burn-in test includes: acquiring a first execution time and an aging test set time, wherein the first execution time is the executed time of the first aging test; determining a second execution time according to the first execution time and the first aging test setting time, wherein the second execution time is the residual execution time of the first aging test; and executing the first aging test according to the second execution time.

When the television set is powered on again and starts the first aging test when the television set aging test encounters unexpected power failure, the monitoring program in the television set system obtains the aging test time (i.e. a first execution time) which is executed before the power failure (e.g. the first execution time is 13 hours) and the aging test setting time (i.e. the first aging test setting time) which is selected before the power failure (e.g. the first aging test setting time is 24 hours), and determines the remaining execution time (i.e. a second execution time) of the aging test according to the first execution time and the first aging test setting time, e.g. the second execution time is 11 hours (i.e. the difference between the first aging test setting time and the first execution time, e.g. the difference between 24 hours and 13 hours), and the first aging test only needs to be executed again to complete the aging test for 24 hours, and the burn-in test is not required to be executed for 24 hours from zero, so that the problem that the burn-in cannot be continued due to accidental power failure is solved, and meanwhile, the test efficiency of the burn-in test is improved.

Optionally, the aging state variable is an aging time variable, and the aging time variable is used for indicating the aging test set time.

The aging time variable has different states and is used for indicating whether the set time of the aging test is activated or not, and the aging time variable can be multiplexed to indicate whether the first aging state test is finished or not. For example, when the state of the aging time variable is "0", it indicates that the aging test set time is not activated, and at the same time indicates that the first aging test is completed; when the state of the aging time variable is "1", it indicates that the aging test set time is activated, and also indicates that the first aging test is not completed. According to the embodiment, the aging mode variable does not need to be set independently, and the data volume of the execution program of the aging test is reduced.

Optionally, after the first burn-in test is completed, the burn-in state variable is set to a state indicating that the first burn-in test is completed.

After the first aging test is completed, if the television is restarted again, the completion of the first aging test can be determined according to the aging state variable, and the aging test is not required to be performed again. Therefore, the embodiment can avoid the damage of the television after restarting due to the excessive aging test.

Optionally, the method further comprises: determining not to initiate the first burn-in test when the burn-in state variable indicates that the first burn-in test is complete.

If the aging state variable indicates that the first aging test is completed, the television does not need to be subjected to the aging test, so that the television is prevented from being damaged due to the excessive aging test.

Optionally, an aging trigger signal sent by the remote control device is received, where the aging trigger signal is a signal for starting a second aging test mode; and displaying an aging time menu according to the aging trigger signal.

When the television is in the on state, a tester can send an aging trigger signal to the television through a one-key aging button on a remote control device (for example, a remote controller), the aging trigger signal can trigger the television to enter an aging mode and trigger the television to pop up an aging time menu, and the tester can select aging test set time (for example, 24 hours) from the aging time menu according to test requirements. Compared with a method that the aging mode can be entered only by entering a multi-level menu, the aging mode can be conveniently and quickly entered by the aid of the one-key aging button on the remote control device without particularly complex operation, and therefore, operation steps of entering the aging mode are simplified and experience of testers is improved by arranging the one-key aging button on the remote control device.

Optionally, when the aging trigger signal sent by the receiving remote control device is executed before the aging state variable is read, the second aging test is the same as the first aging test; when the aging trigger signal sent by the receiving remote control equipment is executed after the aging state variable is read, the second aging test is different from the first aging test.

Optionally, the aging time menu includes: an aging 24 hours option, an aging 48 hours option, and a custom option.

In a second aspect, an apparatus for initiating a burn-in test is provided that includes means for performing any of the methods of the first aspect.

In a third aspect, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, which stores a computer program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the method of any of the first aspects.

The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including, but not limited to," unless expressly specified otherwise.

The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples.

As is well known, before the television enters the consumer market, the television manufacturer needs to perform a burn-in test on the television, which is typically 48-72 hours. During the burn-in test, if the test production line is suddenly powered off accidentally, the burn-in test is interrupted. When the test production line is powered on again, all the televisions on the test production line need the tester to manually start the aging test again. Because the number of the aging tests is large, if a tester manually starts each television, the testing efficiency of the aging tests is seriously influenced.

In order to improve the test efficiency of the burn-in test, the present application proposes a method for starting the burn-in test, which may be executed by a terminal device, as shown in fig. 1, and includes:

s101, reading the aging state variable in the power-on state.

The method for starting the burn-in test provided by the present application is described below in a television burn-in test scenario, which does not limit an application scenario of the method.

Illustratively, in the process of television burn-in test, if a test production line is suddenly powered off, all the televisions in the burn-in test on the test production line are subjected to test interruption. And after the test production line is electrified again, all the televisions on the test production line are in an electrified state. In the power-on state, a monitoring program inside the television system is already started. At this time, the monitoring program takes an aging state variable, which is used to indicate whether the television aging test is completed. And if the aging state variable is detected to indicate that the television aging test is not finished, controlling the television to be switched to a starting state and starting a first aging test. And if the aging state variable is detected to indicate that the television aging test is finished, not starting the first aging test. The above-mentioned power-on state usually refers to the process that the television key board indicator lamp turns into red after the power plug is plugged into the power socket, and the process time is very short, usually less than one second.

The aging state variables comprise an aging mode variable and an aging time variable, wherein the aging mode variable is used for indicating whether the current television is in an aging mode, and the aging time variable is used for indicating the set time of the aging test. When the television is powered on again, the monitoring program in the television system can judge whether the television completes the first aging test before power failure by detecting the aging mode variable. Of course, the aging mode variable may not be set separately inside the television, and whether the burn-in test is completed before the power-off is determined only by detecting the aging time variable inside the television in the power-on state, without separately setting the aging mode variable, so as to reduce the data amount of the execution program of the burn-in test.

The aging time variables comprise an aging 24-hour variable, an aging 48-hour variable and a user-defined time variable, wherein the aging 24-hour variable is used for indicating a tester to select the aging test to set the time to be 24 hours; the aging 48-hour variable is used for indicating a tester to select the aging test to set the time to be 48 hours; the custom time variable is used to instruct the tester to select the custom test setup time.

For example, the aging mode variable is represented by a binary number, for example, when the aging mode variable is set to 1, it represents that the current television is in the aging mode; when the aging mode variable is set to 0, it indicates that the current television set has exited the aging mode. For another example, the aging time variable may be represented by a binary number, and when the aging 24-hour variable is set to 1, it indicates that the 24-hour aging test is performed; when the 24 hour aged variable is set to 0, it indicates a 24 hour aging test is exited. When the aging 48-hour variable is set to 1, it indicates that the 48-hour aging test is performed; when the 48 hour aged variable is set to 0, it indicates that the 48 hour aged test is exited. When the user-defined time variable is set to be 1, representing that the time defined by a tester is executed for carrying out the aging test; and when the self-defined time variable is set to be 0, the aging test is carried out at the time defined by the tester. The three variables of the aging 24-hour variable, the aging 48-hour variable and the user-defined time variable can be simultaneously 0, but the three variables can not be simultaneously 1, and the three variables can not be simultaneously 1 in pairs, namely, a tester can only select one aging test time at a time, and can not simultaneously select more than two aging test times.

For example, before the tester does not enter the aging mode, when the aging mode variable is set inside the television, the aging mode variable is set to 0; when the tester enters the burn-in mode, the burn-in mode variable changes from 0 to 1. For another example, before the tester enters the aging mode, when the inside of the television set is not provided with the aging mode variable but only with the aging time variable, the aging time variable is set to 0, that is, the aging 24-hour variable, the aging 48-hour variable and the custom time variable are all set to 0, and after the tester enters the aging mode, the aging mode variable is changed from 0 to 1; when the tester selects one of the aging 24 hour option, the aging 48 hour option, and the custom option, for example, if the aging 24 hour option is selected, the aging 24 hour variable changes from 0 to 1.

Of course, it is also possible to use a specific identifier to indicate the aging state variable, for example, an aging time variable is taken as an example, and a letter or a symbol is used to indicate that the tester selects the aging test duration to be 24 hours when the aging 24 hour variable is set to a (or, #); when the aging 24-hour variable is set to B (or x), it indicates that the tester has not selected the aging test duration to be 24 hours. The way of representing the aging mode variable and the aging time variable are not described herein again. In summary, the present application does not set any limit on what kind of flag is used to indicate the aging state variable.

Illustratively, receiving an aging trigger signal sent by the remote control device, wherein the aging trigger signal is a signal for starting a second aging test mode; and displaying an aging time menu according to the aging trigger signal. The aging trigger signal is a signal for starting the second aging test mode and is used for triggering the television to enter the second aging test mode. The remote control device is used for sending an indication signal to the television, and the indication signal comprises an aging trigger signal.

The remote control device may be a remote control 202, as shown in FIG. 2, with an aging button 2022 on the remote control 202 for the tester to trigger a second aging test mode. When the tester presses the aging button 2022, the infrared transmitter 2021 of the remote controller 202 transmits an infrared wave signal (i.e., an aging trigger signal) to the television set 201. After the infrared receiver 2012 of the television 201 receives the infrared wave signal, a software system inside the television 201 analyzes the infrared wave signal to obtain a preset key value corresponding to the program of the aging button 2022 inside the television 201, and finally, the software system inside the television 201 controls the television 201 to enter a second aging test mode according to the preset key value. The preset key values correspond to the key values of the aging button 2022 one to one, that is, the key values of the aging button 2022 are well matched with the preset key values in advance.

For example, the television 201 is currently in the power-on state, the display screen 2011 is in the normal display state (for example, the display screen displays a test identifier: @ test), the infrared receiver 2012 receives the infrared wave signal sent by the remote controller 202, the key value of the aging button 2022 is a, the preset key value is B, and when the tester presses the aging button 2022, the infrared transmitter 2021 of the remote controller 202 sends the key value a to the television 201 through the infrared wave signal. A software system inside the television 201 receives the key value a, transcodes the key value a and converts the transcoded key value into a corresponding preset key value B, and finally, the television 201 is controlled to enter a second aging test mode according to the preset key value B.

Illustratively, after the tester enters the second aging test mode through the aging button 2022 on the remote controller 202, the television 201 will pop up the aging time menu 301, as shown in fig. 3, the aging time menu 301 includes an aging 24 hours option, an aging 48 hours option and a custom option, where the aging 24 hours option means that it takes 24 hours to perform one aging test; the 48-hour aging option means that 48 hours are required for performing one aging test; the user-defined option means that a tester can set the aging test time according to the aging test requirement. When the tester does not need to set the burn-in test time, it can return through the return button in fig. 3.

The traditional approach to enter the burn-in mode is generally two: as shown in fig. 4, the first method is to enter the aging mode through a multi-level menu, specifically, after the television is turned on, the television needs to enter a first-level menu, a second-level menu and the like first to select and confirm the aging mode and then enter the aging test, and after the aging test is finished, the television is powered off and is off; the second method is to enter the aging test by creating an aging test file, specifically, a tester first creates a specific file, and the specific file is used for starting the television to enter an aging mode; the tester moves the specific file into the root directory of the peripheral (such as a USB flash disk); the peripheral is inserted into the Television through a Universal Serial Bus (USB) of the Television (Television), and each Television on a test production line is inserted with one peripheral, which is obviously extremely complicated for batch tests; and after all the televisions are plugged with the peripheral, powering on all the televisions, entering an aging mode by all the televisions, and powering off all the televisions after the aging test is finished.

Compared with the traditional aging mode entering mode, the method for entering the aging mode by setting the (one-key) aging button 2022 on the remote control device (for example, the remote controller 202) provided by the application is as shown in fig. 5, that is, after the television is turned on, a tester triggers the television to enter the aging mode by pressing the aging button 2022 on the remote controller 202, then selects the aging time according to the aging test requirement (for example, the aging test time is selected for aging for 24 hours as shown in fig. 6), finally, the aging test is performed according to the selected aging test time, and after the aging test is finished, the television is powered off. The method not only simplifies the operation step of entering the aging mode, but also improves the experience of testers.

For example, in a state where the television 201 is turned on, after the tester enters the second aging test mode through the aging button 2022 on the remote controller 202, the television 201 pops up the aging time menu 301 for the tester to select the aging test setting time, as shown in fig. 6, if the tester selects the aging 24 hour option (i.e. the aging test setting time is 24 hours) using the cursor 601, the program inside the television 201 changes only the aging 24 hour variable from 0 to 1, and starts to execute the second aging test, which is executed for 24 hours; and the aging 24-hour variable and the user-defined time variable are kept to be 0, because the tester can only select one aging test set time each time, and the variables corresponding to the other unselected aging test set times are kept unchanged. The initial values of all the aging time state variables are set to 0, and only the variable corresponding to the aging test set time selected by the tester (for example, the aging 24-hour variable corresponding to the aging 24-hour option selected by the tester) is changed from 0 to 1. It should be noted that the processing method for the tester to select the 48-hour aging option or the custom option (for example, custom aging for 36 hours) is the same as the processing method for the tester to select the 24-hour aging option, and details thereof are not repeated here.

If the tester selects the second aging test to be executed for 24 hours, the second aging test is started to be executed, and at this time, a certain position of a display screen of the television (for example, the upper right corner of the display screen or the lower right corner of the display screen) displays the current time of execution of the second aging test, and the current time is used for recording the time of execution of the second aging test. The initial value of the current time variable corresponding to the current time is set to 0, when the second aging test starts to execute, the current time variable is changed from 0 to 1, and the current time variable is not changed from 1 to 0 until the second aging test finishes.

The current time may be expressed in time-minutes or only in hours or minutes or seconds. For example, the display format for representing the current time in time-minutes is 08: 30: 40 (i.e., 8 hours, 30 minutes, 40 seconds); the display format of the current time is 14h (namely 14 hours) when the current time is represented by hours; the display format of the current time when the current time is expressed in minutes is 235min (namely 235 minutes); the display format for the current time in seconds is 3600s (i.e., 3600 seconds). Taking the current time in hours and seconds as an example, the second aging test is executed for every second, the current time is increased by one second, and at the same time, the second is immediately saved by the software system inside the television. When the current time is increased to the set time for the aging test, for example, the set time for the aging test is 24 hours (i.e., 1440 minutes), and the current time is 1441 minutes), that is, the current time is greater than the set time for the aging test, the current time variable corresponding to the current time is changed from 1 to 0. The specific position of the current time displayed on the display screen of the television and the display format of the current time are not limited in any way.

And if no power failure fault occurs in the process of the second aging test, the second aging test is executed for 24 hours and then is finished. After the second aging test is finished, information that the second aging test is finished is displayed on the display screen 2011 of the television 201, as shown in fig. 7, or the television 201 is switched to a standby state after the second aging test is finished.

Illustratively, the second aging test is the same as the first aging test when the aging trigger signal sent by the receiving remote control device is executed before the aging state variable is read; the second aging test is different from the first aging test when the aging trigger signal transmitted by the receiving remote control device is executed after the aging state variable is read. For example, in a state where the television is turned on, the television receives an aging trigger signal transmitted by the remote control device, and enters a second aging test. In the process of the second aging test, if the power failure of the television suddenly occurs, the television determines whether the second aging test is finished before the power failure according to the aging state variable after being powered on again. Specifically, a monitoring program in the television system reads an aging state variable, if the aging state variable indicates that the second aging test is not completed before the power failure, a software system in the television controls the television to directly enter a power-on state after being powered on again, and enter a first aging test, the first aging test continues to execute the second aging test after the second aging test is executed when the power failure occurs, and obviously, the first aging test and the second aging test which are re-entered after the power failure are the same test.

For another example, when the television encounters a power-off failure during the second aging test, and the television is powered on again and in a power-on state, the monitoring program within the television system detects that the aging state variable indicates that the second aging test has been completed. At this time, if the tester wants to perform the aging test on the television again, the tester can transmit the aging trigger signal to the television again through the remote control device, and the television enters the aging mode again according to the received aging trigger signal to perform the aging test for the first time. Therefore, after the television is powered on again, the aging test (namely the first aging test) is re-entered according to the aging trigger signal sent by the remote control equipment, and the test is not the same as the test in which the television enters the second aging test according to the aging trigger signal sent by the remote control equipment before power failure.

Illustratively, after the first burn-in test is completed, the burn-in state variable is set to a state indicating that the first burn-in test is completed. For example, when the first burn-in test is completed, the burn-in state variable changes from 1 to 0, indicating that the first burn-in test is completed. If the first burn-in test is not complete, the burn-in state variable is always 1. Thus, the aging state variable may be used to indicate whether the first aging test is complete.

For example, if an aging mode variable is set inside the television, the aging mode variable changes from 0 to 1 after the television enters the aging mode. If the tester selects the age 24 hour option, the age 24 hour variable changes from 0 to 1. When the television set performs aging for 24 hours, the aging mode variable is changed from 1 to 0, and the aging 24-hour variable is changed from 1 to 0. The treating method of the aging test method for 48 hours selected by the tester is the same as the aging test method for 24 hours selected by the tester. For the aging test method of the self-defined option selected by the tester, the tester needs to set the aging test time, for example, after the tester enters the aging mode, the variable of the aging mode changes from 0 to 1, and if the tester has the self-defined aging test time of 36 hours, the variable of the self-defined time changes from 0 to 1; after the television set 201 performs the burn-in test for 36 hours, the burn-in mode variable is changed from 1 to 0, and the custom time variable 1 is changed to 0.

If the aging mode variable is not set in the television, after the television enters the aging mode, the aging time variable changes from 0 to 1, which indicates that one of the aging 24-hour variable, the aging 48-hour variable and the custom time variable in the aging time variable changes from 0 to 1, specifically which variable changes from 0 to 1, depends on which aging test setting time the tester selects, for example, if the tester selects the aging test setting time to be 24 hours, the aging 24-hour variable changes from 0 to 1. When the television set 201 is aged for 24 hours, the variable of aging for 24 hours is changed from 1 to 0, and the aging test is ended.

Illustratively, in the process of the burn-in test of the television 201, a specific burn-in test method is as follows: the display screen 2011 of the television 201 may display one picture at a certain time interval, for example, five pictures in total, and the display order is white screen 801, green screen 802, blue screen 803, black screen 804 and red screen 805, as shown in fig. 8, the pictures are switched every 5 seconds, the white screen 801 displays 5 seconds and is switched to green screen 802, the green screen 802 displays 5 seconds and is switched to blue screen 803, and so on, until the cycle of displaying 5 seconds and red screen 805 is completed; the red screen 805 displays 5 seconds to switch to the white screen, and the next cycle is started; and continuously and repeatedly displaying the five pictures in the whole aging test process.

If a software fault occurs in the television 201 during the aging test, for example, a screen splash appears on the display screen 2011 of the television 201 or the television is halted, it indicates that the software fault occurs in the television 201. The display 2011 of the television 201 is shown to be blurred, which means that the display 2011 displays spots similar to mosaics. When the television 201 has a software failure, the tester needs to access the flash disk to the television 201 and let the television 201 enter the aging mode again. When the television 201 has the software fault during the re-aging test, the software program inside the television 201 automatically creates an error log (debug) file on the flash disk, and reproduces the location information and the content information of the software fault. For example, when the television 201 has a screen splash phenomenon, specifically, when the current time of the display screen 2011 is 8 hours, 46 minutes and 23 seconds, and a picture of the white screen 601 is displayed, a black patch similar to a mosaic suddenly appears on the white screen 601, and the black patch is blocked on the picture of the white screen 601 and does not continue to switch other pictures, as shown in fig. 9; or, if the television 201 crashes suddenly, whether the screen splash fault or the crash fault occurs, the flash disk is accessed to the television 201, and the television 201 enters the aging test again. When the television 201 has the software fault (for example, a screen is lost or a dead halt) during the re-aging test, the software system inside the television 201 automatically creates an error log (debug log) file in the flash disk, and records the location information and the content information of the software fault in the error log file.

For the batch aging test of the television, a tester can find that the television has software faults in the following two ways, namely, in the first way, if the display screen of the television has a screen splash phenomenon in the aging test process of the television, the television can be clamped at the screen splash position at the moment and does not continue the aging test; secondly, in the aging test process of the television, if the television is halted, a watchdog program in the television can force the television to restart and enter a common tester mode instead of the aging mode, and if a tester finds that a certain television is currently displayed as the tester mode, software faults of the television in the previous aging test process are shown.

S102, when the aging state variable indicates that the first aging test is not finished, starting the first aging test.

Illustratively, if an unexpected power failure occurs in the process of the first aging test, all the televisions on the test production line interrupt the aging test. And when the test production line is electrified again, all the televisions on the test production line are in an electrified state. In the power-on state, the television detects whether the aging state variable indicates that the first aging test is not complete. If the monitoring program in the television system detects that the aging state variable is 1, it indicates that the first aging test is not completed before the power is off. At this time, a software system in the television controls the television to start up, and automatically enters an aging mode to perform a first aging test.

Illustratively, initiating a first burn-in test comprises: acquiring a first execution time and a set time of the aging test, wherein the first execution time is the time when the first aging test is executed; determining a second execution time according to the first execution time and the first aging test setting time, wherein the second execution time is the residual execution time of the first aging test; and executing the first aging test according to the second execution time. When the television is powered off accidentally in the first aging test process, after a tester powers on the television again, a monitoring program in a system of the television can automatically detect an aging state variable when the television is in a power-on state, and whether the first aging test of the television is finished before the power-off state is determined according to the aging state variable.

For example, if an aging mode variable is set inside the television, the monitoring program will first detect whether the aging mode variable in the aging state variable is 1, and if the aging mode variable is 1, it indicates that the first aging test is not completed. If the monitoring program detects that the first burn-in test is not completed, the monitoring program reads the time (i.e., the first execution time) that the first burn-in test has been executed currently before the power-off, and determines the remaining burn-in test time (i.e., the second execution time) according to the first execution time and the first burn-in test setting time. And then, the software system controls the television to start and automatically enters an aging mode. At this time, the first burn-in test can be ended only by executing the first execution time and then executing the second execution time. For example, if the tester selects the first set time of the burn-in test to be 24 hours (i.e., 24 hours of burn-in), and the monitoring program detects that the first execution time is 12 hours, 30 minutes and 0 seconds, the remaining second execution time is determined to be 11 hours, 30 minutes and 0 seconds according to the 24 hours of burn-in and the first execution time selected by the tester. When the television detects that the first burn-in test is not complete, 11 hours, 30 minutes and 0 seconds are left until the burn-in test is completed. At this moment, the software system controls the television to start up, automatically enters an aging mode, executes the first aging test from the 12 th hour, 30 minutes and 0 seconds, and executes the first aging test for 11 hours, 30 minutes and 0 seconds without executing the first aging test again for 24 hours from zero, so that the problem that the aging cannot be continued due to accidental power failure is solved, and meanwhile, the test efficiency of the aging test is improved.

For another example, if the aging mode variable is not set inside the television, the monitoring program may detect the aging time variable, and if one of the aging 24-hour variable, the aging 48-hour variable, and the custom time variable in the aging time variable is 1, for example, if the aging 24-hour variable is 1, it indicates that the tester selects the aging test setting time to be 24 hours. Taking the example that the tester selects 24 hours of aging, the specific process of starting the first aging test by the software system is described, and the processing mode that the tester selects 48 hours of aging and defines the aging time is similar, which is not illustrated here.

Specifically, if the tester selects the first burn-in test setting time to be 24 hours (i.e., 24 hours of burn-in), and the monitoring program detects that the first execution time is 10 hours, 30 minutes and 0 seconds, it is determined that 13 hours, 30 minutes and 0 seconds (i.e., the second execution time) remain according to the 24 hours of burn-in and the first execution time selected by the tester. When the television is powered on, the monitoring program detects that the first burn-in test is not completed, and 13 hours, 30 minutes and 0 seconds are left until the first burn-in test is completed. At this time, the software system controls the television to start, automatically enters an aging mode, executes a first aging test from the 10 th hour, 30 minutes and 0 seconds, and executes the second aging test for 13 hours, 30 minutes and 0 seconds to complete the first aging test. Since the aging time variable has different state variables (i.e., the aging 24-hour variable, the aging 48-hour variable, and the custom time variable), the aging time variable can be used to indicate whether the aging test setting time is activated or not, and the aging time variable can be multiplexed to indicate whether the first aging state test is completed or not. For example, when all the state variables of the aging time variables are '0', indicating that the aging test setting time is not activated, and simultaneously indicating that the first aging test is completed; when the state of any one variable in the aging time variables is 1, the aging test set time is activated, and the first aging test is not completed. According to the embodiment, the aging mode variable does not need to be set independently, and the data volume of the execution program of the aging test is reduced.

Illustratively, after the first burn-in test is completed, the burn-in state variable is set to a state indicating that the first burn-in test is completed. After the first burn-in test is completed, the internal software system of the television resets the burn-in state variable to 0 (i.e., 0 indicates that the first burn-in test is completed). If the television is restarted again, the first aging test can be determined to be completed according to the aging state variable, and the aging test does not need to be carried out again. Therefore, the embodiment can avoid the damage of the television after restarting due to the excessive aging test.

Illustratively, the first burn-in test is determined not to be initiated when the burn-in state variable indicates that the first burn-in test has been completed. After the television is powered on again due to unexpected power failure in the first aging test process, if the monitoring program in the television system detects that the aging state variable is set to the state indicating that the first aging test is completed (namely, the aging state variable is set to 0), the television will not automatically enter the aging mode and continue to perform the first aging test, so that the television is prevented from being damaged due to excessive aging test.
