3. Jumping and/or accessing the corresponding application in the smart display device and the corresponding media subscription resource according to the parsed data and instructions of the uplink, for example, the background service module interprets the instruction of ordering a certain movie, and can open The file of a movie stored in the smart display device or the corresponding APP to access the streaming media play address of the movie for playing;

4. Open an application programming interface to a predetermined application to implement deep customization of interactive functions;

5. The remote server is docked through the network, so that the remote server interacts with and updates the data content, operation instructions, and storage information in the smart device.

Specifically, in the above steps, the pseudo code of the API interface of the display device is defined as follows:

CONTROLL_CMD = 0; MESSAGE_MSG = 1;

GAME = 0; FILM = 1; CARTOON = 2; ENTERTAIMENT = 3;

Struct char *information{

Int contentID;

Char *cpVendor;

Char *contentInfor;

};

smartTvSmartware(int messageType,char *information){

If(0 == CONTROLL_CMD){Execute control commands, drive LED lights, etc.}

Else if(1 == MESSAGE_MSG){

Switch(information.contentID)

{

Case GAME: start the game; break;

Case FILM: playing a movie; break;

Case CARTOON: play a cartoon; break;

Case ENTERTAIMENT: play entertainment program; break;

Break;

}}

The data storage field definition of the system according to the present invention is as shown in Figure 4, in which the start character, the manufacturer information, the content type of the interaction, the ID of the tag element (e.g., card ID), the user ID associated with the tag element, and the interaction are defined. Custom data area for content. In a specific embodiment, the storage space is defined as 1024 bytes, and the value definition of the specific field can be referred to FIG. The data in the custom data area is more important, generally the encrypted data. After the background service module parses the data, it can obtain instructions to trigger the corresponding application to run (see steps 3 and 4 above). When it is necessary to rewrite the interactive data of the tag component, the system can select the full or incremental write mode according to the problem of the read and write time and the actual needs. Therefore, in such a data field definition manner and a rewriting manner, the background service module can parse the interaction data stored in the various tag components, so as to obtain the manipulation instructions, the content information, and various interactions in the interaction process in a secure and reliable manner. Enter permission information.

5a to 5d are schematic diagrams showing a preferred application scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention. The smart device can include a base for placing one or more items. As shown on the right side of Figure 5a, the items that integrate the tag elements include dolls, cards, media tickets, cell phones, wearable devices, or any portable item.

As shown in FIG. 5b, if a movie, an advertisement, or a homepage of an operating system is currently being played, and the doll or card of the corresponding game is placed on the base, the content of the smart display device is quickly switched to the corresponding game screen without using the remote control. Go to the game hall and find this game, then click to open. At the same time, the corresponding virtual character in the game can be interacted with the real doll. For example, when attacked, the instruction module of the smart device can issue an alarm light and an alarm sound in advance.

As shown in FIG. 5c, although the smart display device is playing a music advertisement or displaying the home page of the operating system, the user only needs to put the video card pre-stored the movie content desired or the movie ticket in which the tag component is embedded on the base. The display device will quickly switch to the video screen that the user wants to watch, such as playing a movie. Children who don't know the word don't have to use the remote control or trouble parents to help operate the smart display device. Old people, people with disabilities, etc. can also easily switch to the TV program they want to watch.

As shown in Figure 5d, after the parents get home from work, they can interact with the base that opens the NFC function. The system according to the present invention can identify parent users and obtain parental rights for content management of the smart display device. Then open the parent management interface to display the access records of each family member. Parents can also use the cradle to rewrite the new media to the card and hand it to the child, so as to constrain the child's playing content. Preferably, the parent can also log in to the system according to the present invention to directly modify the playing content of the card owned by the child, so that the child's card directly functions as the user's identification.

The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and as long as it achieves the technical effects of the present invention by the same means, it should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
