And after the kernel is started, loading the Shell and the user camera application. The camera application is compiled into machine code after being started, and a process is formed.
Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, which are an Application (Applications) layer (abbreviated as "Application layer"), an Application Framework (Application Framework) layer (abbreviated as "Framework layer"), an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (abbreviated as "system runtime library layer"), and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

The user may use the display device to view a media asset program provided by a cable television provider. During the peak period, the number of display devices applying for playing the media asset programs is large, so that the load of a display device server is too high, and the issuing of the media asset programs is influenced. To avoid overloading the servers, a content delivery network CDN is typically employed. Different from the distribution network of the cable television provider, the cable television provider is generally used for a server for distributing the content of the local terminal, when the address is local in the received terminal request, the content in the server is issued to the terminal, and when the terminal address is not local, the content is not issued. With the broadcasting and television programs allowed to be distributed in the internet, one way is to still use the internet to set nodes according to the traditional networking structure and set a CDN node for each region. Illustratively, one node in Qingdao city and one node in Jinan city. Another way is to set up a CDN node for a region. Instead, multiple regions share a CDN node. When the CDN distributes radio and television content, since cable providers are different and the asset programs provided by the cable providers are different in different regions, there are multiple types of programs for a CDN node, for example, common asset programs are shared nationwide, and users in each region can view the common asset programs, for example, program resources such as CCTV1 and CCTV2 are available to users nationwide. Some common programs are viewable by users in multiple regions, and program resources such as Shandong satellite television, Shandong movie television and the like are available to users in Shandong province. The local media asset programs are specific in the local domain and can be watched by only the users in the local domain. For example, the program resources of the Qingdao television station, the Qingdao tour, and the like are only available to the users local to Qingdao. However, when a traditional CDN network distributes a media asset, an internet mode is used when a content distribution network is used to distribute the media asset, and generally, personalized distribution is performed with reference to an identifier of a user, terminal version information, and the like, and related information of a local region where the user is located may be ignored.
In addition, in CDN delivery, an initial request of a terminal is not directly sent to a specific CDN server, but a jump link is first obtained from a system provider server, and then a CDN server corresponding to the connection is accessed according to the jump link. In a conventional CDN delivery process, a server returned by a provider generally includes an access address and interface information, and does not carry parameters characterizing terminal characteristics. The gateway of the general server can set the user as an anonymous user and delete the personalized data of the user outside the media asset. For example, the gateway may delete the parameters accessoken, mac, etc., change the model _ id, isHot, forceRefresh to meaningless values, change the customerId to anonymous user id, reserve parameters related to media playback, such as license, appVersion, tabId, sidebarId, customerId, appPackageName, etc., convert the parameters into a CDN domain name, and return the CDN domain name to the terminal jump address. Thus, for any terminal, the interface and content accessed according to the jump address are the same.
A display device includes a display and a controller.
The user can use the display device to search network media resources in some networks for watching, and can also use the display device to watch cable television, namely various media resource programs provided by cable television providers in a local domain. The local domain refers to a region where the display device is located. The asset programs may include common asset programs and local asset programs. For common asset programs, cable providers in other regions may also provide, i.e., users in other regions may also view. For local asset programming, only cable providers of the local domain are available, i.e., only users of the local domain can view the program.
In some embodiments, after the user controls the display device to be powered on, the display device needs to acquire the media asset related information that can be played by the display device, including the network media asset related information and the media asset program related information, and specifically, a user interface that can be displayed by the display device may be acquired, and the user may play different media assets by touching the user interface.
In some embodiments, the display device may retrieve the user interface directly from the server. The server may be a server that manages the display device, such as a gathering server. The server stores various information related to the display device, including media asset related information. The server may generate a user interface based on the media asset related information such that the display device is capable of displaying the user interface.
However, if all the display devices acquire the user interface through the server, the load of the server is greatly increased, and the processing speed of the server is affected. Therefore, a content delivery network CDN may be used to deliver a user interface for a display device.
In some embodiments, the display device may directly obtain, through the content delivery network CDN, a user interface that can be presented, where the user interface may include network asset related information and asset program related information. The user can select to watch the network assets or the assets programs through the user interface.
In some embodiments, the user may send a power-on instruction to the display device, for example, a power-on button of the display device is touched, or a power-on control of the control apparatus controls the display device to be in a power-on state.
After the display device enters the open state, the user interface may be obtained through the content delivery network CDN. In the process of obtaining the user interface, the controller may command the display to display a preset boot animation. When the user interface is successfully acquired, the controller may not cause the display to display the boot animation, but display the user interface so that the user can view the network asset or the asset program.
In some embodiments, the controller may cause the display to display a user interface. FIG. 5 illustrates a schematic diagram of a user interface in some embodiments. The user interface includes a first navigation bar 500, a second navigation bar 510, a ribbon bar 520, and a content display area 530, the ribbon bar 520 including a plurality of functionality controls such as "view records", "my favorites", and "my applications", among others. The content displayed in the content display area 530 changes according to the selected controls in the first navigation bar 500 and the second navigation bar 510. When the application panel page is applied, the user can click the my application control to input a display instruction for the application panel page to trigger entering the corresponding application panel. It should be noted that the user may also input a selection operation on the functionality control in other manners to trigger entry into the application panel. For example, control is passed to the application panel page using a voice control function or a search function, etc.
In some embodiments, the user may select a control in the second navigation bar 510 to control the display device to enter the interface under the corresponding category to view the network assets. For example, the user may directly select the "movie" entry option, and control the focus cursor to move to the selected "movie" entry option through the control device or the terminal device, thereby triggering the display device to display the "movie interface". FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic view of a display device displaying a "shadow interface" in some embodiments. The 'movie interface' can comprise a plurality of movie classification entry options, such as 'select', 'movie', 'TV play' and 'art-integrated' entry options, and the like, and a user can click on any entry option to trigger the display device to display the corresponding entry interface. For example, clicking on the "movie" portal option triggers the display device to display a "movie" portal interface that includes a plurality of network asset options, such as "movie a," "movie B," and "movie C," among others. The user touches any network media asset option and can trigger the display equipment to display a corresponding 'movie introduction' page. For example, the user touches "movie a" to trigger the display device to display a "movie introduction" page corresponding to "movie a". FIG. 7 shows a "movie introduction" page corresponding to "movie A" in some embodiments, including a "begin play" option and a "return" option, which the user may further select to play "movie A" or return to a previous interface.
In some embodiments, the user may control the display device to enter the cable interface by touching the "channel" control in the first navigation bar 500 to select a specific channel and play the corresponding media asset program for viewing. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a cable interface displayed by the display device in some embodiments, where the cable interface includes a plurality of entry options, a user may select one of the channels, and the controller further controls the display to display a media asset program corresponding to the channel in a full screen for the user to watch.
In some embodiments, for the user interface shown in FIG. 5, the user may select the "My applications" control, thereby triggering the display device to display an application panel. The user can view the applications that the display device has installed, i.e., the functions supported by the display device, through the application panel. FIG. 9 illustrates a schematic diagram of an application panel in some embodiments. The application panel comprises three controls of network media asset, cable television and video chat. The user can control the display equipment to play the network media assets by touching the network media asset control. The user can control the display equipment to play the media resource program by touching the cable television control, and the user can utilize the display equipment to perform the video chat function by touching the video chat control. Other applications, such as "look at mirror" and "game", may also be installed in the display device, and the application that the display device may be installed in the embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited.
When the user touches the network media asset control, the controller can control the display to display the network media asset interface. Figure 10 illustrates a schematic diagram of a network funding interface in some embodiments. The user may select a network asset under a certain asset type for viewing.
When the user touches the 'cable television' control, the controller can control the display of the cable television interface in the display. Fig. 11 illustrates a schematic diagram of a cable television interface in some embodiments. The cable television interface comprises a preview window and a media asset program list. The user may select a particular asset program, such as asset program 1, from the asset program list on the right side of the cable interface. The preview window on the left side of the cable television interface can show the user-selected asset program 1 for the user to preview. The user can touch the preview window, and the controller further controls the display to display the media asset program 1 in a full screen manner for the user to watch.
In some embodiments, it is considered that when the display device in the related art acquires the user interface through the content delivery network CDN, a specific local asset program in a local domain cannot be acquired, which results in poor user experience. The display equipment provided by the embodiment of the application has a local media asset program acquisition function. The display device may be provided with a local media asset program mode, and when the display device acquires a media asset program through the content delivery network CDN, the display device may acquire not only a common media asset program but also a local media asset program.
In some embodiments, the user may send the local media asset program mode instruction to the display device by operating a designated key of the remote control. And in the actual application process, the corresponding relation between the local media asset program mode instruction and the remote controller key is bound in advance. For example, a local media asset program mode key is arranged on the remote controller, when a user touches the key, the remote controller sends a local media asset program mode instruction to the controller, and at the moment, the controller controls the display device to enter a local media asset program mode. When the user touches the key again, the controller can control the display device to exit the local media asset program mode.
In some embodiments, the corresponding relationship between the local media asset program mode instruction and the plurality of remote controller keys may also be pre-bound, and when the user touches the plurality of keys bound to the local media asset program mode instruction, the remote controller sends the local media asset program mode instruction. In a feasible embodiment, the keys bound to the local media asset program mode instruction are directional keys (left, down, left, down) in sequence, that is, when the user continuously touches the keys (left, down, left, down) within a preset time, the remote controller sends the local media asset program mode instruction to the controller. By adopting the binding method, the local media asset program mode instruction can be prevented from being sent out due to misoperation of a user. The embodiment of the application is only exemplary in providing several binding relations between the local media resource program mode instructions and the keys, and the binding relations between the local media resource program mode instructions and the keys can be set according to habits of users in the actual application process, so that excessive limitation is not required.
In some embodiments, the user may send a local media program mode instruction to the display device by means of voice input using a sound collector of the display device, such as a microphone, to control the display device to enter the local media program mode. An intelligent voice system can be arranged in the display device, and the intelligent voice system can recognize the voice of the user so as to extract the instruction content input by the user. The user can input a preset awakening word through the microphone so as to start the intelligent voice system, and the controller can respond to the instruction input by the user. And inputting a local media asset program mode instruction within a certain time to enable the display equipment to enter a local media asset program mode. For example, the user may enter "something classmate" to activate the intelligent speech system. And inputting 'entering a local media asset program mode', and realizing sending a local media asset program mode instruction to the display equipment.
In some embodiments, the user may also send the local media asset mode instruction to the display device through a preset gesture. The display device may detect the user's behavior through an image collector, such as a camera. When the user makes a preset gesture, the user may be considered to have sent a local media program mode instruction to the display device. For example, it can be set as: and when the V-shaped characters drawn by the user are detected, judging that the user inputs a local media resource program mode instruction to the display equipment. The user can also send a local media asset program mode instruction to the display device through a preset action. For example, it can be set as: and when the fact that the user lifts the left foot and the right hand simultaneously is detected, the fact that the user inputs a local media asset program mode instruction to the display equipment is judged.
In some embodiments, when the user controls the display device using the smart device, for example using a cell phone, the local asset program mode instruction may also be sent to the display device. In the process of practical application, a control can be set in the mobile phone, and whether to enter a local media asset program mode can be selected through the control, so that a local media asset program mode instruction is sent to the controller, and at the moment, the controller can control the display equipment to enter the local media asset program mode.
In some embodiments, when the user controls the display device using the cell phone, a continuous click command may be issued to the cell phone. The continuous click command refers to: in a preset period, the number of times that a user clicks the same area of the mobile phone touch screen exceeds a preset threshold value. For example: when the user continuously clicks a certain area of the mobile phone touch screen for 3 times within 1s, the user is regarded as a continuous clicking instruction. After receiving the continuous click command, the mobile phone can send a local media asset program mode command to the display device, so that the controller controls the display device to enter a local media asset program mode.
In some embodiments, when the user uses the mobile phone to control the display device, the following may also be set: when detecting that a touch pressure value of a certain area of the mobile phone touch screen by a user exceeds a preset pressure threshold, the mobile phone can send a local media resource program mode instruction to the display device.
A local media resource program mode option can be set in a UI interface of the display equipment, and when a user clicks the option, the display equipment can be controlled to enter or exit the local media resource program mode.
In some embodiments, to prevent the user from triggering the local media asset program mode by mistake, when the controller receives the local media asset program mode instruction, the controller may control the display to display the local media asset program mode confirmation information, so that the user performs secondary confirmation to determine whether to control the display device to enter the local media asset program mode. Fig. 12 is a diagram illustrating the display of local asset program mode confirmation information in the display in some embodiments.
When the display device enters the local asset program mode, a specific local asset program in the local domain can be delivered through the content delivery network CDN. At this time, the user interface delivered by the content delivery network CDN includes not only the network resource related information, but also the related information of the common resource program, and also includes the related information of the local resource program. When the display device does not enter the local media asset program mode, a user interface delivered by the content delivery network CDN may only include network media asset related information and related information of a common media asset program, and a user may select whether to start the local media asset program mode according to his own preference, thereby controlling whether the display device displays a local media asset program specific to a local domain.
FIG. 13 illustrates a flow diagram for a display device to obtain a user interface in some embodiments.
In some embodiments, when the display device enters the boot-up stage, the controller may first obtain the region information related to the local region, where the display device is located.
Specifically, the controller may send a region information acquisition request to the server to acquire region information of a target region where the display device is located. The target territory where the display equipment is located is provided with a cable television provider, and the cable television provider can provide a plurality of media asset programs, including shared media asset programs and local media asset programs which are local and unique.
The region information acquisition request carries network information of the display device. The network information may be an IP address of the display device, which can represent geographical location information of the display device.
After receiving the region information acquisition request sent by the display device, the server can determine the geographical position information of the display device according to the network information of the display device, namely determine the target region where the display device is located.
The server may store region information for each region in advance. Further, the server may directly determine the region information of the target region.
The zone information of the target zone may comprise a plurality of parameters, such as: area code, provincial code, regionCode, and internet service provider code, ispCode. The area code refers to a city code of a city where the target region is located, and each city has a specific area code thereof for distinguishing different regions. The provincial code regionCode refers to a provincial code of a province to which the target region belongs. It should be noted that, for some special regions, such as the prefecture city, which have only provincial codes, there is no regional code, and the special regions can be distinguished according to the provincial codes and other regions. The internet service provider code ispCode refers to an individual code corresponding to a cable provider of a target region, each cable provider having its specific internet service provider code.
After receiving the region information acquisition request sent by the display device, the server can determine the region information of the target region where the display device is located, and send the region information to the display device, so that the display device can acquire local media resource programs corresponding to the region information according to the region information, namely the local media resource programs which can be provided by a cable television provider in the local region.
In some embodiments, after receiving the region information sent by the server, the display device may obtain, according to the region information, a user interface including information related to the local media asset program through the content delivery network CDN, so as to display the user interface.
In some embodiments, the display device may first establish a connection with the content distribution network system, which may be through a gateway. Specifically, the display device may first send an access address acquisition request to the gateway to acquire an access address of the content distribution network system.
The gateway can be provided with a content distribution network switch, and when the content distribution network switch is turned on, the gateway can search the content distribution network system corresponding to the local domain and acquire the access address of the content distribution network system.
After obtaining the access address of the content distribution network system, the gateway may send the access address to the display device, so that the display device can directly establish a connection with the content distribution network system.
In some embodiments, when the gateway does not turn on the content distribution network switch, the gateway does not acquire the access address of the content distribution network system. Or when the content distribution network system corresponding to the local domain may have a fault or some content distribution network systems cannot be opened, the gateway cannot acquire the access address of the content distribution network system.
At this time, the gateway sends the prompt information which is not acquired to the content distribution network system to the display device, and the display device can directly acquire the user interface from the server.
In some embodiments, the server determines and feeds back the location information of the terminal, which may improve the performance of the entire system, for example, a large china area may set a CDN node for the east china area, a CDN node for the north china area, and a CDN node for the east china area. If the terminal does not determine the user address, the requested CDN node may be randomly allocated, and the CDN node may obtain data from the server to update the local storage of the CDN node when the local storage does not have content corresponding to the request. This results in regional data for each region being present in each CDN node. For example, there is regional data in the east china node below south china. However, the server performs regional identification, and may configure a CDN access address corresponding to a region for a request corresponding to a regional parameter by identifying the regional parameter in the user request when feeding back the CDN node. And randomly configuring a CDN access address for a request which does not contain the regional parameters. Illustratively, if the regional parameter included in the terminal request is Shanghai city, the access address for accessing the east China CDN node is fed back according to the regional parameter.
In some embodiments, after receiving the access address of the content distribution network system sent by the gateway, the display device may establish a connection with the content distribution network system according to the access address, and obtain a user interface containing the relevant information of the local media asset program from the content distribution network system.
In some embodiments, it may be provided that: one content distribution network system is provided in each of the regions. That is, for the target zone, a content distribution network system may be set up for distinguishing from other zones. All display devices in each local domain can acquire the user interface through the content distribution network system in the local domain without acquiring the user interface from the server, thereby reducing the load of the server. It should be noted that the content distribution network system in the target domain may only serve the display device in the local domain, and may acquire the local media asset programs in the target domain, but may not acquire the local media asset programs in other domains, that is, the content distribution network system may only acquire the user interface corresponding to the local domain.
In some embodiments, it may be set that a plurality of regions share one content distribution network system. The content distribution network system can only serve the display devices in the regions and can acquire the user interfaces corresponding to the regions.
In some embodiments, the regional parameters carried by the request to access the china CDN node may characterize the terminal as shanghai city, or nanjing city. The CDN node can filter according to the regional parameters and feed back the user interface below which the CDN node is corresponding to.
In some embodiments, if the CDN node does not include a user interface corresponding to the regional parameter, which may carry the regional parameter, the user interface corresponding to the regional parameter is requested from the server to be fed back to the terminal and cached locally.
In some embodiments, the controller may generate the first acquisition solution based on zone information of the target zone. Specifically, the first obtaining request may carry region information of the target region, so as to request the content distribution network system for a user interface corresponding to the target region. The user interface corresponding to the target region may include the related information of the network media asset, the related information of the common media asset program, and the related information of the local media asset program. Namely, the user interface corresponding to the target region can enable the user to watch the network media assets, the common media asset programs and the local media asset programs.
After generating the first acquisition request, the controller may send the first acquisition request to the content distribution network system to request a user interface corresponding to the target geographic area.
In some embodiments, after receiving the first obtaining request carrying the region information of the target region sent by the display device, the content distribution network system may further obtain a user interface corresponding to the target region. Fig. 14 illustrates a flow diagram for the content distribution network system to obtain a user interface corresponding to the target zone in some embodiments.
Specifically, the content distribution network system may be provided with a user interface database in advance. The user interface database may store a plurality of user interfaces that have been acquired by the content distribution network system. It should be noted that, when the content distribution network system serves only one region, only the user interface corresponding to the region is stored in the user interface database of the content distribution network system. When the content distribution network system can serve a plurality of regions, the user interface database of the content distribution network system can have user interfaces corresponding to the plurality of regions.
Each time a user interface is retrieved by the content distribution network system, the user interface may be stored in a user interface database. Meanwhile, the corresponding relation between each user interface and the region information of the corresponding target region can be stored. In the embodiments of the present application, the first corresponding relationship refers to such a corresponding relationship, that is, the first corresponding relationship refers to: and the corresponding relation between the region information of the regions and the user interfaces corresponding to the regions.
Table 1 illustrates a first correspondence stored in the user interface database in some embodiments.
TABLE 1 first correspondence
Target area User interface Region information
A User interface 1 LA
B User interface 2 LB
C User interface 3 LC
D User interface 4 LD
E User interface 5 LE
F User interface 6 LF
Wherein a total of 6 user interfaces are stored in the user interface database. The user interface 1 corresponds to the area a, and the area information of the area a is LA. The user interface 2 corresponds to the region B, and the region information of the region B is LB. By analogy, the first corresponding relation of all the user interfaces can be determined.
The content distribution network system may search for a user interface corresponding to the region information using the user interface database. Specifically, the user interface query model may be generated according to the first correspondence in the user interface database. The first correspondence may be queried by the model. For example, the region information sent by the display device may be input into the user interface query model, so as to obtain the user interface corresponding to the region information.
If the content distribution network system searches the user interface corresponding to the region information in the user interface database, the user interface can be directly sent to the display device. The user interface is the user interface corresponding to the target region.
If the content distribution network system does not search the user interface corresponding to the region information in the user interface database, it indicates that the region information is sent to the content distribution network system for the first time, and the content distribution network system cannot directly determine the related information in the target region corresponding to the region information. Therefore, the content distribution network system needs to further acquire a user interface of the target region according to the region information.
In some embodiments, when the content distribution network system does not search the user interface corresponding to the region information in the user interface database, the content distribution network system needs to further obtain the user interface corresponding to the target region. Specifically, the content delivery network system may obtain the user interface corresponding to the target area where the content delivery network system is located according to the server.
The content delivery network system may generate a second acquisition solicitation based on the regional information of the target region. Specifically, the second obtaining request may carry region information, so as to request a user interface corresponding to the target region from the server. And the content distribution network system sends the second acquisition request to the server so as to acquire the user interface corresponding to the target region according to the server.
In some embodiments, when a second acquisition request sent by the content distribution network system is received, the server may generate a user interface corresponding to the target region according to the region information carried in the second acquisition request. Fig. 15 illustrates a flow diagram for the server to generate a user interface corresponding to the target zone in some embodiments.
Specifically, the server may obtain, according to the region information, media asset program information corresponding to the target region, where the media asset program information refers to related information of all media asset programs that can be provided by a cable television provider in the target region, and may include common media asset programs and local media asset programs that can be provided by the cable television provider.
In some embodiments, when media asset program information corresponding to a target region is obtained, the server may determine the target region where the display device is located according to the region information. Further, the server may obtain, from the cable provider in the target area, information related to all of the media programs that the cable provider can provide.
In some embodiments, the server may obtain the information according to a media asset database preset in the server.
Specifically, the server may be provided with a media asset database. The server can store the media asset program information of each region into the media asset database, and can also store the corresponding relation between the region information of each region and the media asset program information of each region. In the embodiments of the present application, the second correspondence is referred to as such a correspondence.
Specifically, the server may first obtain, from the cable provider in each region, the media asset programs that can be provided by each cable provider, and generate corresponding media asset program information. The server can store the media asset program information of each region in the media asset database, and can also generate a second corresponding relation between the region information of each region and the media asset program information of the region, and store the second corresponding relation and the second corresponding relation in the media asset database.

A total of 6 asset program information are stored in the user interface database. The region information of the region a is LA, and the corresponding media asset program information includes media asset programs a1, a2 and A3. The region information of the region B is LB, and the corresponding media asset program information comprises media asset programs B1 and B2. The region information of the region C is LC, and the corresponding media asset program information comprises media asset programs C1, C2 and C3.

And according to the media asset database, determining the second corresponding relation of all the media asset program information.
In some embodiments, the asset program information may be directly represented in the form of the common asset program and the local asset program. Table 3 illustrates a second correspondence stored in the asset database in some embodiments.

C G1、G2、G3 C1、C2、C3 LC
D G1、G2、G3 D1、D2 LD

F G1、G2 F1、F2 LF
Taking the region a as an example, the region information of the region a is LA, the common media resource programs include G1, G2 and G3 in the corresponding media resource program information, and the local media resource programs include a1 and a 2. And determining the second corresponding relation of each piece of media resource program information according to the media resource database.
In some embodiments, the server may search the media asset database for media asset program information corresponding to each region information. Specifically, the media asset program information query model may be generated according to the second correspondence in the media asset database. The second correspondence can be queried through the model. For example, the region information sent by the content distribution network system may be input into the media asset program information query model, so as to obtain the media asset program information corresponding to the region information.
In some embodiments, after obtaining the media asset program information corresponding to the region information, the server may generate a user interface corresponding to the target region according to the media asset program information.
It should be noted that the user interface may include network assets and asset programs. Therefore, the server can acquire the related information of the network media assets while acquiring the media asset program information corresponding to the target region according to the region information. Specifically, the server may directly obtain the network media asset information in the network.
After all the media asset program information and the network media asset information are obtained, the server can generate a user interface according to the network media asset information and the media asset program information.
In some embodiments, the server may be pre-provisioned with user interface templates. The user interface template can be divided into a network media resource area and a media resource program area, and the media resource program area can be further divided into a common media resource program area and a local media resource program area. FIG. 16 illustrates a schematic diagram of a user interface template in some embodiments.
The server can respectively add corresponding information to the user interface template according to the network media asset information and the media asset program information, so that a user interface corresponding to the target region is generated.
In some embodiments, it may be set to: their user interface templates are the same for the same model of display device. In the server, each user interface template can correspond to one display device model, so that the same user interface of the same model of display device is realized, and the user interfaces of different models of display devices are different.
Specifically, when the display device sends an access address acquisition request to the gateway, some display device parameters of the display device may be sent to the gateway together, where the display device parameters may include a display device ID. The display device ID is typically a 32-bit ID, the first 24 bits indicating the version number of the display device, i.e. the model number of the display device, and the last 8 bits indicating the display device specific native code. Therefore, the version number of the display device, that is, the model corresponding to the display device, can be determined according to the display device ID.
The gateway may further be capable of tuning parameters of the display device. For example, some useless parameters are deleted and the display device ID is adjusted. When the display device ID is adjusted, the gateway can change all the last 8 bits of the display device ID to 0, so that only version number information is reserved in the adjusted display device ID, and the subsequent content distribution network system and the server can directly identify the model information of the display device to directly acquire the user interface template corresponding to the model, thereby reducing the calculation amount of the server and reducing the load.
After obtaining the access address of the content distribution network system, the gateway may generate access information according to the access address and the adjusted parameters of the display device, and send the access information to the display device together. The display device may further access the content distribution network system according to the access information, thereby sending the first acquisition request and the adjusted display device parameter to the content distribution network system.
The content distribution network system may transmit the adjusted display device parameters of the display device to the server together when transmitting the second acquisition request to the server.
In the server, each user interface template may correspond to a display device model. Specifically, each user interface template may correspond to an ID. The server can directly determine a user interface template corresponding to the ID according to the adjusted display equipment ID sent by the content distribution network system, and generate a user interface corresponding to the target region according to the user interface template.
In some embodiments, after generating the user interface corresponding to the target zone, the server may send the user interface to the content distribution network system.
After receiving the user interface, the content distribution network system can determine a first corresponding relationship between the user interface and the region information of the target region, and store the user interface and the corresponding first corresponding relationship into a user interface database together, so that the corresponding user interface can be directly searched in the following process according to the region information of the target region.
It should be noted that, each time the content distribution network system acquires a user interface, the first corresponding relationship between the user interface and the user interface may be stored in the user interface database. When the same display device or other display devices in the same region, that is, display devices having the same region information, send the first acquisition request again to acquire the user interface, the content distribution network system may directly search the user interface in the user interface database without acquiring the user interface again by the server, which may greatly reduce the load of the server.
In some embodiments, after receiving the user interface sent by the server, the content delivery network system may further generate the user interface and a corresponding relationship between the display device model and the region information, and store the corresponding relationship in the user interface database. When the content distribution network system receives a first acquisition request and display device parameters sent by the display device, the content distribution network system can acquire a corresponding user interface according to the region information and the display device parameters in the user interface database, namely, determine a unique user interface according to the version information and the region information of the display device, and send the unique user interface to the display device.
In some embodiments, when the display device does not enter the local asset program mode, the local asset program specific to the local domain cannot be acquired, but in order to enable the user to normally view the assets, the display device may acquire the user interface in the current situation through the content distribution network system. It should be noted that the user interface obtained in the present case includes the related information of the network media asset and the related information of the common media asset program, but does not include the related information of the local media asset program.
Specifically, the display device may send a request for acquiring the user interface to the content distribution network system, where the request does not carry the region information. The content distribution network system may continue to send the request to retrieve the user interface to the server. The server can obtain the related information of the common media asset program and can obtain the network media asset information in the network at the same time. Wherein, the related information of the shared medium resource program can be stored in the medium resource database in advance. Further, the server can generate a user interface according to the related information of the common media asset program and the network media asset information and send the user interface to the content distribution network system. The content distribution network system stores the user interface and sends the user interface to the display device. The display device may display the user interface.
In some embodiments, after the display device sends the region information acquisition request to the server, the server may not be able to feed back the region information, for example, the current load of the server is high, which results in no response to the request of the display device. In this case, the display device acquires the region information, but it is still necessary to acquire the user interface in order to allow the user to normally use the display device. At this time, the display device may acquire a user interface that does not contain the local asset program to the content distribution network system. The specific obtaining method is the same as the obtaining method when the display device does not enter the local media asset program mode, and details are not described here.
In some embodiments, after obtaining the user interface corresponding to the target zone, the content distribution network system may send the user interface to the display device.
Further, the controller may control the display to display the user interface. The user interface comprises network media asset related information, related information of common media asset programs and specific local media asset programs of regions where the display equipment is located. The user may view the assets by touching the user interface.
An embodiment of the present application further provides a user interface obtaining method, as shown in fig. 17, including the following steps:
step 1701, the display device sends a region information acquisition request carrying network information to the server.
Step 1702, in response to the region information obtaining request sent by the display device, the server sends the region information of the target region corresponding to the network information to the display device.
Step 1703, the display device sends a first acquisition request carrying the region information to the content distribution network system.
Step 1704, in response to the first obtaining request sent by the display device, the content distribution network system sends a second obtaining request carrying the region information to the server.
Step 1705, in response to the second acquisition request sent by the content distribution network system, the server acquires the media asset program information corresponding to the target region according to the region information. And generating a user interface corresponding to the target region according to the media asset program information, and sending the user interface to the content distribution network system.
Step 1706, the content delivery network system sends the user interface to the display device.
And step 1707, displaying, by the display device, a user interface corresponding to the target region.
