Referring to FIG. 1 , a flowchart of a method for providing a television program by a smart TV according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method may include the following steps:

S101: providing a customized entry of a customized custom channel in a user interface of the smart TV;

In the traditional smart TV usage mode, if a user has a favorite program in different TV channels at different time periods, it is necessary to remember which channel of the favorite program is broadcasted at which time period, or to query through a television program pre-order. In order to ensure that you can watch your favorite TV programs in time. In the method for providing a television program through a smart television provided in the embodiment of the present application, one or more custom channels can be provided in the smart television to collect the channel programs that the user likes, and the time channel in a customized channel is divided. The program that the user likes is broadcasted so that the user does not miss the favorite program. Of course, in a smart TV, the number of the custom channels may be one or multiple, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

A custom portal for customizing custom channels can be provided in the user interface of the smart TV, and the user can enter custom information of the customized program to be customized by customizing the portal. One of the implementation manners is: providing a time selection entry for customizing a customized channel in the user interface, a program type selection entry, and a TV program selection entry, receiving a broadcast time selected by the user through a time selection entry, and selecting an entry selection through the program type. The type of program selected by the user receives the customized program selected by the user through the television program selection portal. Of course, the network connection established between the smart TV and the server can also be used to obtain the program list from the server in real time when the user provides a customized custom customized program of the customized channel through the user interface, and the user selects the corresponding time period through the customized portal. The favorite program broadcasted.

S102: The receiving user customizes customized information of the customized program through the customized portal of the customized channel, and saves the information;

When the user selects a customized custom program through the custom portal of the custom channel, the customized information of the customized custom program can be saved. Specifically, a time selection entry with a customized custom channel, a program type selection entry, and a television program selection entry may be provided in the user interface, the broadcast time selected by the user through the time selection entry is received, and the entry selection is selected by the program type. Program type, matching the program database according to the broadcast time and program type; The television program is matched with the broadcast time and the program type, displayed in the form of a list in the television program selection entry, and the program selected by the user in the list is used as a custom program of the customized channel at the broadcast time.

In addition, when establishing a network connection between the smart TV and the server storing the program database, the broadcast time and the program type selected by the user may also be sent to the server, and the program database in the server may be queried to obtain and broadcast time. The program is matched with the program type, and the result of the inquiry is sent to the smart TV end, and in the smart TV, the time, the program type, and the matched TV program selected by the user are correspondingly stored in the smart TV. Of course, more than two custom channels can be used in the smart TV, which can increase the number of customized programs customized by the user and increase the freedom of customizing the customized program.

After the user customizes the information of a customized program, and saves with the corresponding custom channel, each piece of information may include the program broadcast time, the program type and the specific program information (such as the program name), or the user customizes the self. After defining a plurality of customized programs for a plurality of time periods of the channel, the customized information of the customized program customized in the custom channel and the corresponding customized channel can be saved. Specifically, when saving, the customized information may be stored in a storage device local to the smart TV, or may be stored in the storage space of the user on the server through the network. In the latter mode of storage, users can share the same customized information between different smart TV devices through multiple connected TVs, which is convenient for users to apply.

S103: When the user views the customized channel through the smart TV, provide a corresponding television program according to the customized information.

After the user customizes the favorite custom program through the customized portal to the corresponding custom channel and saves the customized information, when the user watches the customized channel through the smart TV, the smart TV application can provide the corresponding TV according to the customized information. The show was shown to the user.

In addition, due to a certain type of program for a certain period of time, different program sources may be available at the same time, for example, at the same time period, a program source of a plurality of movie types may provide movie viewing. The switching instruction for switching the customized program can be received at any time during the process of playing the customized custom program in the custom channel. The user can switch the currently playing customized program at any time by sending a switching instruction to the smart TV through the control device. At this time, the smart TV application can query the program database again, obtain information of the same type of substitute television program played in the program database at the current time, play the substitute television program in the smart TV according to the information of the substitute television program, or have multiple at the same time. In the case of an alternative television program, an alternative television program can be played on the smart TV according to the user's choice.

Because some popular sources may be sudden, such as a sudden hot news event, service The server obtains the release of a movie and TV drama, etc. At this time, the information of these hot program sources can be distributed to the smart TV through the server. When the smart TV application plays the customized custom program in the customized channel, the hot program information sent by the server can be received at any time, and then the hot program information is prompted in the user interface, and after the user confirms that the hot program information is played, The currently played custom program is switched to the hot program corresponding to the hot program information for playing.

In addition, there are some TV programs that are not played in regular time, such as live broadcasts or entertainment programs, which often have extra time; or some network reasons cause the program to be delayed, and these programs are customized. When a custom program is played in a custom channel, it may affect the broadcast time of other programs. Therefore, when the customized custom program in the custom channel is played, the end time of the current program or the start time of the next customized program can be obtained; if the end time of the current program is delayed compared to the predetermined end time, or the next time The start time of the custom program is earlier than the predetermined start time, and the user is prompted; further, according to the user's selection, the current program is continued to be played or switched to the next program. Avoid situations where the user's favorite programs are missing.

In addition, since the time and channel of the TV program provided by the smart TV are often fixed, if the user wants to watch a certain TV series, the fixed channel for playing the TV episode can only be watched at a fixed time, which is inconvenient for the user. Based on this, the receiving user in S102 customizes and saves the customized information of the customized program through the customized portal of the customized channel, which can be implemented in the following manner.

First, the program information of a specific video set that the user clicks on in the on-demand application of the smart TV can be obtained. An application for on-demand of various programs can be provided in a smart TV, such as providing an on-demand operation entry to a video set in a detail introduction page of a video set, or providing an on-demand entry to a video set in a program listing in a program listing. When a user clicks on a particular video set through these on-demand portals in the smart TV application, information about the particular video set being requested can be obtained. For example, get the name of the video set, the background number of the video set, or the server ID of the video set, and so on. The video set mentioned here may include not only a TV episode, but also a recording set, a series of movies, etc., and the video set may be composed of at least two videos arranged in a preset order, and the content of the adjacent videos has continuity.

Then, a corresponding customized channel may be created according to program information of the specific video set, and program information of the specific video set is saved into the customized channel. Wherein the specific channel is available for playing each program in the specific video set.

A custom channel corresponding to the specific video set can be created in the smart TV according to the program information of the specific video set that is requested. This newly created custom channel can be used to play individual programs in a particular video set that the user is ordering, independent of the original channel of the smart TV. Newly created custom The right channel can be named according to the name of the corresponding specific video set. For example, the name of the video set can be directly used as the name of the channel. For example, when the user-on-demand video set "explore", a dedicated channel can be created for the video set, and "Explore" as the name of the channel. Or, it may be named according to the name input by the user. For example, when the user clicks on a certain video set, the operation entry of the channel created for the video set of the on-demand video set may be provided in the user program of the smart TV, when the user inputs the name. After confirmation, the name entered by the user is used as the name of the channel, such as "My Channel 001".

The custom channel can also be added to the channel list of the smart TV.

When the program information of the specific video set requested by the user is obtained, which means that the user has selected a specific video set, a customized channel for playing the video set can be created for the video set to be clicked, and thus, the smart channel can be The custom channel is saved on the TV. Specifically, the channel can be added to the channel list of the smart TV, so that the user can perform operations such as selecting viewing and switching on the channel. In practical applications, one or more such custom channels may be stored in each smart TV, corresponding to a specific video set that one or more users order on-demand in an on-demand application. In addition, for a custom channel for playing each video in a particular video set, the custom channel can also be deleted from the channel list of the smart TV upon receiving an instruction to delete the custom channel.

In this way, a custom channel dedicated to playing a specific video set can be freely customized in the smart TV, and the user can freely and centrally view a specific video set in the customized channel, so that the smart TV plays the video set more personalized. To better meet the user's viewing needs for video collection.

In another implementation manner, the receiving user in S102 customizes and saves customized information of the customized program through the customized portal of the customized channel, and can also be implemented in the following manner.

First, search keywords and search results for the user to search for television programs in the search application of the smart TV can be obtained. When using the search application of the smart TV, the user can input a specific keyword to query, for example, input a movie title, a director or an actor name, etc., and the search application of the smart TV can query the program database according to the keyword input by the user. The television program provided related to the keyword input by the user, the television program mentioned herein may be a program provided by a broadcast television network, or may be a network television program provided by an internet content service provider. In the search-related programs related to keywords, there are often multiple results. Among these searched programs, users often want to watch multiple programs, even all programs, but the search results are unstable. Different search results may search for different programs. In the embodiment of the present application, search keywords and search results for searching for television programs in the search application may be obtained, and the search results may be added to a customized one. In the channel. When the user searches for a program through the search application of the smart TV, The search result includes at least one television program information corresponding to the search keyword, television program information such as the name of the television program, the background number of the television program, or the server identification of the television program, and the like.

Then, a corresponding custom channel may be created according to the search keyword and the search result, and the program information in the search result is saved in the custom channel.

A corresponding custom channel can be created according to the search keyword and the search result, and the program information in the search result is saved in the custom channel. This newly created custom channel can be used independently of other channels of the Smart TV to specifically play the TV show video in the search results when the user searches using the search application. The newly created custom channel can be named according to the search keyword input by the user during the search process. For example, when the user inputs the keyword “甄嬛传” for program search, a dedicated specific channel can be created for each television program in the search result. And the keyword "甄嬛传" as the name of the channel. Or it may be named according to the name entered by the user. For example, when the user searches for a certain keyword, a specific specific channel may be created for each television program in the search result, when a specific channel is created for each television program in the search result. The operation entry of the custom named frequency band is provided in the user interface of the smart TV. When the user inputs the name and confirms, the name entered by the user is taken as the name of the channel, for example, "My Channel 002".

The custom channel can then be added to the channel list of the smart TV.

When the search keywords for searching for the television program in the search application and the search results are obtained, an independent channel can be created for each television program in the search result, and the channel is saved in the smart TV. Specifically, the custom channel can be added to the channel list of the smart TV, so that the user can perform operations such as selecting viewing and switching on the channel. In practical applications, users often use the search application of the smart TV and use different search keywords. Therefore, in a smart TV, one or more of the above-mentioned custom channels can be stored, and the user uses the search application process. Enter a search keyword, or search results obtained when multiple search keywords are entered multiple times. In addition, for a custom channel for playing each television program in the search result, the custom channel can also be deleted from the channel list of the smart TV when receiving the instruction to delete the custom channel.

In this way, a customized channel dedicated to playing each TV program corresponding to the search keyword in the search result can be freely customized in the smart TV, and the customized search result is played through the customized channel when the user views the customized channel. In each of the TV programs, the various TV programs searched by the user can be played in a centralized manner through a customized channel, so that the manner in which the smart TV plays the TV program is more personalized, thereby better satisfying the user's viewing requirements for the television program.

In addition, users may interrupt at any time during the process of watching the program because they need to handle other things. For the viewing of the video set, in the conventional way of providing the program, since the playing of the program does not stop, such interruption often causes the omission of the drama or the episode, and in the method provided by the embodiment of the present application, it may also be In the process of defining a program to be played in the channel, if a playback interrupt operation command is received, the interrupt information of the current program can be saved to the program information. The interrupt information may include a sequence number of the current program, and/or a play progress, and the like. For example, when playing a program in a custom channel, because the user is busy with other transactions, the user needs to turn off the smart TV or put the smart TV into the standby state, after receiving the shutdown or entering the standby command (shut down or enter the standby command can see As a playback interrupt operation command, the sequence number of the currently played program and the playback progress can be recorded, and the specific program information can be recorded in the foregoing program information. In this way, when the user turns on the computer again, or switches to the customized channel to view the program, the program can be continuously viewed from the last interrupted time point in the customized channel according to the recorded interruption information, for example, according to the saved corresponding program. The sequence numbering, and/or playback progress, is performed to avoid the omission of the plot, and also saves the user's operation time for finding the interruption time point. Specifically, it can also provide a certain length of time to look back, for example, when the user last viewed the fifth episode of the video set, and interrupted at the 32nd minute, the video can be played again from the fifth of the video set. The episode begins to play in the 30th minute to help the user review and connect the story, avoiding the sudden abrupt play from the point of the last interruption.
