Description

Information distribution method, information receiving method, device and information sharing system

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to an information publishing method, an information receiving method, an apparatus, and an information sharing system.

Background technique

The development of digital multimedia and networks has enriched the entertainment experience in people's daily lives. The current technology allows people to watch HDTV at home. The source of TV programs may come from digital discs, cable TV, the Internet, etc., and can experience stereo, 5.1-channel, 7.1-channel and even more realistic sound effects, and people can Using PAD (tablet electronic devices), mobile phones to achieve these experiences, related technologies include, people can transfer the playback of digital content between different devices through the network, and control the playback of a device through remote control, gestures, such as control switching Channel, next channel show, etc.

The traditional method of controlling multiple devices is currently controlled by using the respective remote controllers of the devices, and these remote controllers are often not common to each other, and most of the remote controllers do not have network functions, such as a conventional television set. Audio; there are also some remote controls that support the network, such as loading and supporting interworking protocols on devices with computing and networking capabilities (such as cell phones, PADs, in this article, PAD refers to handheld multimedia consumer electronics devices, or devices such as tablets). Software to control another device.

With the development of technology, there are more and more content sharing and transfer requirements between multiple devices. The above control methods are not convenient enough. The performance is: or people need to pick out the corresponding device in a bunch of remote controllers. The remote control constantly changes the remote control as it controls different devices, or can only control the device by operating a PAD, a mobile phone, etc., or a simple gesture to control a single device. In order to use different devices, it is often necessary to learn to use different manipulation tools. People prefer to use simpler, more natural modes of operation to control more devices in a smaller range.

Gesture control is a relatively new way: the camera on one device monitors the gesture and analyzes it, and finally converts it into control of the device; or the user uses the wearable device through the hands, arms, and body. Wearing similar devices such as rings, watches, vests, etc., recognizes user actions and also controls the device.

Related technologies and some products enable people to use gestures to manipulate devices. For example, by adding a camera to a television, collecting and recognizing a person's gestures, and then following a predefined gesture and manipulation command correspondence, the gesture is manipulated to control the television. The operations that have been implemented include changing channels, changing the volume, and so on.

The gesture recognition devices currently on the market and in the laboratory are each equipped with a camera, which often requires input of a "starting indication", such as a specific gesture, or other control commands. When there are many such devices in the home and office scenes, such as TV, set-top box, player, air conditioner, and audio in the home, gesture recognition is supported, and the user controls these devices at the same time. When the "starting instruction" is often switched, the experience is not friendly, or the "starting gesture" is likely to cause confusion in the recognition command input. Because these devices do not publish and share their own location information, recognized location information, and recognized gestures, they only process the recognized gesture commands.

Through the network to transfer control information between different devices, related technologies have been able to achieve mutual discovery and control between devices, such as Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology, which stipulates how to send and receive network messages between devices to achieve discovery and Control, the technology uses the network address and digital code as the identification of the device, which is a kind of machine identification. The final control requires the user to select and operate according to the machine identification of the device.

In view of the fact that different devices in the related art are confusing for gesture recognition information, an effective solution has not been proposed yet.
