本发明目的的实现、功能特点及优点将结合实施例,参照附图做进一步说明。The implementation, functional features, and advantages of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments.
具体实施方式detailed description
应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
参照图1,图1为本发明电视应用的控制方法第一实施例的流程示意图。本实施例中,所述电视应用的控制方法包括:Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart diagram of a first embodiment of a control method for a television application according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the control method of the television application includes:
步骤S110,监测当前电视系统中是否存在被激活的电视应用;Step S110, monitoring whether there is an activated television application in the current television system;
本实施例中,需要说明的是,为便于描述,将在网络电视上运行的应用程序统称为电视应用,但电视应用并不限定于只在电视上运行的应用,当然,只要设备的操作系统支持,也可以在相应的其他设备上运行,比如在安卓网络电视上运行的应用程序也可以在安卓手机上运行。In this embodiment, it should be noted that, for convenience of description, an application running on a network television is collectively referred to as a television application, but the television application is not limited to an application running only on a television, of course, as long as the operating system of the device Support, you can also run on other devices, such as applications running on Android Internet TV can also run on Android phones.
由于在不同设备上所运行的应用其所对应的操控方式不同,比如电脑上的应用程序可以直接通过鼠标及键盘进行操控,手机上的应用程序可以通过用户手指的触摸操作进行控制,而电视上的应用程序一般通过遥控设备进行远距离操控,因而电视上的应用程序的控制方式并不一定适用于电脑、手机等设备,但本实施例中并不限定。Since the applications running on different devices have different control modes, for example, the application on the computer can be directly controlled by the mouse and the keyboard, the application on the mobile phone can be controlled by the touch operation of the user's finger, and on the TV. The application is generally remotely controlled by the remote control device. Therefore, the control method of the application on the television is not necessarily applicable to the computer, the mobile phone, etc., but is not limited in this embodiment.
步骤S120,当监测到当前电视系统中存在被激活的电视应用时,获取被激活的所述电视应用的标识;Step S120, when it is detected that there is an activated television application in the current television system, acquiring an identifier of the activated television application;
本实施例中,被激活的电视应用具体是指被选中且启动的电视应用。通过获取电视应用的标识以获知被激活的是哪一个电视应用,其中,电视应用的标识具体用于唯一区别其他应用。比如,QQ应用与微信应用可以通过应用名称或其他方式进行标识区别。在安卓网络电视中,一般通过应用程序的包名进行唯一区分,因此,本实施例中,优选将应用程序的包名作为应用程序的标识。In this embodiment, the activated TV application specifically refers to a selected and activated television application. By identifying the identity of the television application, it is known which television application is activated, wherein the identification of the television application is specifically used to uniquely distinguish other applications. For example, the QQ application and the WeChat application can be distinguished by an application name or other means. In the Android network television, the package name of the application is generally uniquely distinguished. Therefore, in this embodiment, the package name of the application is preferably used as the identifier of the application.
步骤S130,根据所述电视应用的标识,获取与所述电视应用相对应的预设的控制按键信息;Step S130, acquiring preset control button information corresponding to the television application according to the identifier of the television application;
在获得被激活电视应用的标识后,需要进一步获取该电视应用所对应的控制按键信息以便于用户操控。由于不同或不同类型的应用所对应的功能不同,因而相应的控制命令也不同,比如QQ所对应的功能包括输入与删除聊天信息、插入表情、信息发送等;网页浏览器对应的功能包括网址输入、加载网页、上下翻页等;视频播放器所对应的功能包括暂停、播放、快进、后退、下一个等,因此可将应用程序的每一个功能做成相应的控制按键,通过操控控制按键即可执行相应的功能,比如将QQ应用的功能做成输入信息按键、删除信息按键、插入表情按键、信息发送按键等,操控信息发送按键即可将当前输入的信息发送出去。After obtaining the identifier of the activated TV application, the control button information corresponding to the TV application needs to be further obtained for the user to control. Since the functions corresponding to different or different types of applications are different, the corresponding control commands are also different. For example, the functions corresponding to QQ include inputting and deleting chat information, inserting expressions, sending information, etc.; corresponding functions of the web browser include URL input Loading web pages, flipping pages, etc.; the corresponding functions of the video player include pause, play, fast forward, backward, next, etc., so each function of the application can be made into a corresponding control button, by controlling the control button The corresponding functions can be executed, for example, the function of the QQ application is made into an input information button, a delete information button, an emoticon button, an information transmission button, etc., and the information input button can be used to send the currently input information.
可选的,所述控制按键信息至少包括若干控制按键的功能标识以及所述控制按键的功能标识所对应的按键值。Optionally, the control button information includes at least a function identifier of the plurality of control buttons and a button value corresponding to the function identifier of the control button.
对于控制按键信息的设置方式很多,具体包括两部分:第一部分用于告知用户是何种功能操控;第二部分用于告知电视应用是何种控制指令。因此,对于第一部分,可以通过控制按键的功能标识以告知用户是何种功能操控,该功能标识可以是文字、字母、符号等。比如通过功能的文字描述,例如删除(delete),发送(enter)等,此外,还可以使用相应的标识符号,比如快进采用“
Figure 25ba
Figure 25ba
”表示等。
There are many ways to set the control button information, including two parts: the first part is used to inform the user what kind of function control; the second part is used to inform the TV application what kind of control instruction. Therefore, for the first part, the function identification of the control button can be used to inform the user what function control is, and the function identification can be words, letters, symbols, and the like. For example, through the text description of the function, such as delete (delete), send (enter), etc. In addition, you can also use the corresponding identifier, such as fast forward using "
Figure 25ba
Figure 25ba
"Expression.
而对于第二部分,可以通过与控制按键的功能标识所对应的按键值以告知电视应用是何种控制指令。比如,快进按键所对应的按键值为0X01,暂停按键所对应的按键值为0X03等。此外,还可以采用与控制按键的功能标识所对应的功能函数的入口地址。比如,当用户选择了发送按键时,则通过发送功能函数的入口地址,直接调用发送功能函数将当前编辑的信息发送出去。For the second part, the button value corresponding to the function identifier of the control button can be used to inform the television application what kind of control command is. For example, the button value corresponding to the fast forward button is 0X01, and the button value corresponding to the pause button is 0X03. In addition, the entry address of the function function corresponding to the function identification of the control button can also be used. For example, when the user selects the send button, the currently edited information is directly sent by sending the function function's entry address and directly calling the send function.
步骤S140,根据所述控制按键信息,生成与所述电视应用相对应的控制操作界面以对所述电视应用进行相应控制。Step S140, generating a control operation interface corresponding to the television application according to the control button information to perform corresponding control on the television application.
当获取到当前被激活的电视应用的控制按键信息后,为便于用户与网络电视的人机交互,以便对当前被激活的电视应用进行相应控制,因此,根据获取的控制按键信息,生成相应的控制操作界面,以方便用户更为直观地对当前被激活的电视应用进行控制。After obtaining the control button information of the currently activated TV application, in order to facilitate the user to interact with the network television to control the currently activated TV application, accordingly, according to the acquired control button information, generate corresponding The operation interface is controlled to facilitate the user to more intuitively control the currently activated television application.
需要进一步说明的是,本实施例中,通过控制操作界面对电视应用进行操作控制的方式不限,具体根据实际需要进行设置。比如,对于生成的电视应用的控制操作界面,既可以通过如遥控器以遥控方式进行操作控制,也可以直接通过用户手指触摸控制操作界面的方式进行操作控制。It should be further noted that, in this embodiment, the manner of controlling the operation of the television application by controlling the operation interface is not limited, and is specifically set according to actual needs. For example, for the control operation interface of the generated television application, the operation control may be performed by a remote control method such as a remote controller, or may be directly controlled by a user's finger touch control operation interface.
此外,控制按键信息还可以包括生成控制操作界面的格式参数,比如控制操作界面的颜色、所处当前电视屏幕的位置、各按键的布局等。以及还可以包括对控制操作界面的控制参数,比如,隐藏、显示、拖动、界面的设置菜单等。In addition, the control button information may further include generating a format parameter of the control operation interface, such as controlling the color of the operation interface, the position of the current television screen, the layout of each button, and the like. And may also include control parameters for controlling the operation interface, such as hiding, displaying, dragging, setting menu of the interface, and the like.
本实施例中,通过监控被激活的电视应用,并获取与该被激活的电视应用相对应的控制按键信息,进而可以在电视屏幕上生成与该被激活的电视应用相对应的控制操作界面,因此,用户通过该生成的控制操作界面即可更为简便地对当前的电视应用进行控制操作,提高了用户对电视应用的操控体验,同时,由于本实施例中采用的是动态生成控制操作界面的方式,也即并不需要为每一电视应用设置相应的控制操作界面,因而也相应降低了对电视应用操控方式的开发成本。In this embodiment, by monitoring the activated television application and acquiring control button information corresponding to the activated television application, a control operation interface corresponding to the activated television application can be generated on the television screen. Therefore, the user can control the current TV application more easily through the generated control operation interface, thereby improving the user's control experience on the TV application, and at the same time, the dynamic generation control operation interface is adopted in this embodiment. The way, that is, there is no need to set a corresponding control operation interface for each TV application, thereby correspondingly reducing the development cost of the TV application control mode.
参照图2,图2为本发明电视应用的控制方法第二实施例的流程示意图。基于上述实施例,在本实施例中,上述步骤S140之后还包括:Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart diagram of a second embodiment of a control method for a television application according to the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, in the embodiment, after the step S140, the method further includes:
步骤S210,监测所述控制操作界面上是否存在控制按键的选择操作;Step S210, monitoring whether there is a selection operation of the control button on the control operation interface;
本实施例中,对于生成的控制操作界面(可以看成是电视系统中的一个虚拟控制器)的操控方式有多种,例如,当电视系统支持触屏操作时,用户可以直接通过手指触控控制操作界面而进行操作。在网络电视的通常应用场景中,一般用户都是远距离通过遥控器对电视应用进行遥控操作,因此,本实施例中优选通过遥控设备在控制操作界面上进行选择操作,进而实现对当前电视应用的控制操作。也即用户通过遥控设备操控电视系统中的虚拟遥控器(即控制操作界面),然后再通过虚拟遥控器对当前电视应用进行操控。In this embodiment, there are various control modes for the generated control operation interface (which can be regarded as a virtual controller in the television system). For example, when the television system supports the touch screen operation, the user can directly touch the finger. Control the operation interface to operate. In the normal application scenario of the network television, the general user remotely operates the television application remotely through the remote controller. Therefore, in this embodiment, the remote control device is preferably used to perform a selection operation on the control operation interface, thereby implementing the current television application. Control operation. That is, the user controls the virtual remote controller (ie, the control operation interface) in the television system through the remote control device, and then controls the current television application through the virtual remote controller.
需要进一步说明的是,当生成当前被激活的电视应用的相应控制操作界面后,电视系统可以自动激活遥控设备对控制操作界面的操控,也可以通过相应手动操控方式将遥控设备的控制焦点转移到控制操作界面上,从而通过监测控制操作界面上是否存在控制按键的选择操作以判断是否存在对当前电视应用的操控。It should be further noted that, after generating the corresponding control operation interface of the currently activated TV application, the television system may automatically activate the control of the control operation interface by the remote control device, or may transfer the control focus of the remote control device to the corresponding manual control mode. Controlling the operation interface, thereby determining whether there is control of the current television application by monitoring whether there is a control button selection operation on the control operation interface.
步骤S220,当监测到所述控制操作界面上存在控制按键的选择操作时,获取所选择的控制按键的功能标识所对应的按键值;Step S220, when it is detected that there is a selection operation of the control button on the control operation interface, acquiring a button value corresponding to the function identifier of the selected control button;
当监测到控制操作界面上存在控制按键的选择操作时,也即存在对当前电视应用的操控时,获取所选择的控制按键的功能标识所对应的按键值,也即将用户在控制操作界面上的按键操作通过按键值转换为电视应用可以识别的操控指令。When the selection operation of the control button exists on the control operation interface, that is, when there is a manipulation of the current TV application, the button value corresponding to the function identifier of the selected control button is acquired, that is, the user is on the control operation interface. The button operation is converted to a manipulation command recognizable by the television application by the button value.
步骤S230,根据电视系统的按键值分发机制,将获取的按键值发送至所述电视应用以对所述电视应用执行相应的控制操作功能。Step S230: Send the obtained button value to the television application to perform a corresponding control operation function on the television application according to a button value distribution mechanism of the television system.
现有网络电视中,电视系统通常采用按键值分发机制将接收到的用户在遥控设备上的操作按键所对应的按键值上报给当前被激活的电视应用,电视应用接收到上报的按键值后,将根据预先设置的按键值与功能函数的对应关系,调用相应功能函数以执行相应的控制操作功能。比如,电视系统上报给电视应用的按键值为0X01,且该按键值在电视应用中所对应的操作功能为快进,则电视应用在接收到该按键值后,调用快进功能函数,以对当前电视应用执行快进的控制操作。In the existing network television, the television system usually uses the key value distribution mechanism to report the key value corresponding to the received operation button of the user on the remote control device to the currently activated television application, and after receiving the reported key value, the television application receives the reported button value. The corresponding function function is called to perform the corresponding control operation function according to the correspondence between the preset key value and the function function. For example, if the button value reported by the television system to the television application is 0X01, and the operation function corresponding to the button value in the television application is fast forward, the television application, after receiving the button value, invokes the fast forward function to Current TV applications perform fast forward control operations.
如图3所示的聊天应用的控制操作界面以及如图4所示的控制操作界面应用场景,本实施例中,用户通过遥控设备即可在生成的控制操作界面进行控制按键的选择操作,当控制操作界面上的相应按键被选择后,当前电视应用即可执行与该被选择的按键所对应的操作功能,进而实现用户对当前电视应用的控制操作。本实施例中,由于直接控制电视应用的控制按键设置于控制操作界面上,也即可以看成是在电视系统中生成了与该被激活的应用相应的虚拟遥控器,用户只需通过手中的实体遥控设备上的少数几个按键即可操作虚拟遥控器上的所有按键,从而无需在遥控设备再增加针对电视应用的实体按键,此外,由于针对每一电视应用都是动态生成相应的虚拟遥控器,因此,不仅在实体遥控设备的设置上改进了操控方式,降低了控制方式的开发成本,同时更进一步在电视应用上也节省了单独为每一应用开发相应的静态快捷按键的成本,从而在网络电视以及电视应用的开发上节省了产品开发成本,同时也方便了用户对电视应用的简便操控,提高了用户对电视应用的使用体验。As shown in FIG. 3, the control operation interface of the chat application and the control operation interface application scenario shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the user can perform a control button selection operation on the generated control operation interface through the remote control device. After the corresponding button on the control operation interface is selected, the current TV application can perform an operation function corresponding to the selected button, thereby implementing the user's control operation on the current TV application. In this embodiment, since the control button for directly controlling the television application is disposed on the control operation interface, it can be regarded as generating a virtual remote controller corresponding to the activated application in the television system, and the user only needs to pass the hand in the hand. A few buttons on the physical remote control device can operate all the buttons on the virtual remote control, so there is no need to add physical buttons for the TV application in the remote control device. In addition, since each TV application is dynamically generated corresponding to the virtual remote control Therefore, not only the control mode of the physical remote control device is improved, the development cost of the control method is reduced, and the cost of developing a corresponding static shortcut button for each application is further saved in the television application, thereby In the development of network TV and TV applications, the product development cost is saved, and the user's simple control of the TV application is facilitated, and the user experience of the TV application is improved.
参照图5,图5为图1中步骤S130的细化流程示意图。本实施例中,上述步骤S130包括:Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the refinement process of step S130 in FIG. In this embodiment, the foregoing step S130 includes:
步骤S1301,根据所述电视应用的标识,向所述服务器发送控制按键信息的获取请求;Step S1301: Send an acquisition request for controlling button information to the server according to the identifier of the television application;
由于每一台网络电视内所安装的电视应用并不一定都相同,同时,网络电视上能够安装的电视应用有成千上万种之多,此外,每天也会有多种不同的新应用上线或者现有应用的新功能更新,因而对于控制按键信息的存放来说,并不能在网络电视出厂时预置于电视机内,因此,本实施例中:Since the TV applications installed in each network TV are not necessarily the same, there are thousands of TV applications that can be installed on the Internet TV. In addition, there are many different new applications coming online every day. Or the new function update of the existing application, so that the storage of the control button information cannot be preset in the television set when the network television is shipped from the factory. Therefore, in this embodiment:
优选将每一电视应用所对应的控制按键信息预先保存在预设服务器上。比如,该服务器可以由提供本发明虚拟遥控器服务的运营商或者该网络电视生产厂商提供。此外,可选的,控制按键信息也可以从服务器上打包下载到网络电视的本地存储器上,并保持与服务器的连接以进行更新。Preferably, the control button information corresponding to each TV application is pre-stored on the preset server. For example, the server may be provided by an operator providing the virtual remote control service of the present invention or the network television manufacturer. In addition, optionally, the control button information can also be packaged and downloaded from the server to the local storage of the network television, and the connection with the server is maintained for updating.
由于控制按键信息保存在服务器上,因此,需要根据被激活电视应用的标识,向服务器发送获取该标识所对应的电视应用的控制按键信息的请求。Since the control button information is saved on the server, it is necessary to send a request for obtaining the control button information of the television application corresponding to the identifier to the server according to the identifier of the activated TV application.
步骤S1302,接收所述服务器所返回的与所述电视应用的标识相对应的控制按键信息。Step S1302: Receive control button information corresponding to the identifier of the television application returned by the server.
当服务器接收到控制按键信息的获取请求后,将以被激活电视应用的标识作为索引,搜索与该标识对应的电视应用的控制按键信息,并将搜索到的对应控制按键信息返回给相应网络电视。After receiving the request for acquiring the control button information, the server searches for the control button information of the TV application corresponding to the identifier by using the identifier of the activated TV application, and returns the searched corresponding control button information to the corresponding network television. .
本实施例中,由于控制按键信息保存在服务器上,因而,即使有新的电视应用上线或者现有电视应用的功能更新,都无需修改网络电视上的控制操作界面,而只需在服务器端重新部署相应的控制按键信息即可,网络电视将根据接收到的新的控制按键信息,生成与当前电视应用匹配的新的控制操作界面,因而,从一定程度上降低了开发成本,同时也增强了控制操作软件的可扩展性。In this embodiment, since the control button information is saved on the server, even if a new TV application is launched or the function update of the existing TV application is updated, there is no need to modify the control operation interface on the network television, but only on the server side. The corresponding control button information can be deployed, and the network television will generate a new control operation interface matching the current television application according to the received new control button information, thereby reducing the development cost to a certain extent, and also enhancing Control the scalability of the operating software.
参照图6,图6为本发明电视应用的控制装置第一实施例的功能模块示意图。本实施例中,所述电视应用的控制装置包括:Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of functional modules of a first embodiment of a control apparatus for a television application according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the control device of the television application includes:
电视应用监测模块110,用于监测当前电视系统中是否存在被激活的电视应用;The television application monitoring module 110 is configured to monitor whether there is an activated television application in the current television system;
本实施例中,需要说明的是,为便于描述,将在网络电视上运行的应用程序统称为电视应用,而并不限定于只在电视上运行的应用,当然,只要设备的操作系统支持,也可以在相应的其他设备上运行,比如在安卓网络电视上运行的应用程序也可以在安卓手机上运行。In this embodiment, it should be noted that, for convenience of description, an application running on a network television is collectively referred to as a television application, and is not limited to an application running only on a television. Of course, as long as the operating system of the device supports, It can also be run on other devices, such as an app running on an Android network TV. It can also be run on an Android phone.
由于在不同设备上所运行的应用其所对应的操控方式不同,比如电脑上的应用程序可以直接通过鼠标及键盘进行操控,手机上的应用程序可以通过用户手指的触摸操作进行控制,而电视上的应用程序一般通过遥控设备进行远距离操控,因而电视上的应用程序的控制方式并不一定适用于电脑、手机等设备,但本实施例中并不限定。Since the applications running on different devices have different control modes, for example, the application on the computer can be directly controlled by the mouse and the keyboard, the application on the mobile phone can be controlled by the touch operation of the user's finger, and on the TV. The application is generally remotely controlled by the remote control device. Therefore, the control method of the application on the television is not necessarily applicable to the computer, the mobile phone, etc., but is not limited in this embodiment.
应用标识获取模块120,用于当监测到当前电视系统中存在被激活的电视应用时,获取被激活的所述电视应用的标识;The application identifier obtaining module 120 is configured to acquire an identifier of the activated television application when it is detected that an activated television application exists in the current television system;
本实施例中,被激活的电视应用具体是指被选中且启动的电视应用。应用标识获取模块120通过获取电视应用的标识以获知被激活的是哪一个电视应用,其中,电视应用的标识具体用于唯一区别其他应用。比如,QQ应用与微信应用可以通过应用名称或其他方式进行标识区别。在安卓网络电视中,一般通过应用程序的包名进行唯一区分,因此,本实施例中,优选将应用程序的包名作为应用程序的标识。In this embodiment, the activated TV application specifically refers to a selected and activated television application. The application identifier obtaining module 120 obtains the identification of the television application to know which television application is activated, wherein the identifier of the television application is specifically used to uniquely distinguish other applications. For example, the QQ application and the WeChat application can be distinguished by an application name or other means. In the Android network television, the package name of the application is generally uniquely distinguished. Therefore, in this embodiment, the package name of the application is preferably used as the identifier of the application.
按键信息获取模块130,用于根据所述电视应用的标识,获取与所述电视应用相对应的预设的控制按键信息;The button information obtaining module 130 is configured to acquire preset control button information corresponding to the television application according to the identifier of the television application;
在获得被激活电视应用的标识后,按键信息获取模块130需要进一步获取该电视应用所对应的控制按键信息以便于用户操控。由于不同或不同类型的应用所对应的功能不同,因而相应的控制命令也不同,比如QQ所对应的功能包括输入与删除聊天信息、插入表情、信息发送等;网页浏览器对应的功能包括网址输入、加载网页、上下翻页等;视频播放器所对应的功能包括暂停、播放、快进、后退、下一个等,因此可将应用程序的每一个功能做成相应的控制按键,通过操控控制按键即可执行相应的功能,比如将QQ应用的功能做成输入信息按键、删除信息按键、插入表情按键、信息发送按键等,操控信息发送按键即可将当前输入的信息发送出去。After obtaining the identifier of the activated TV application, the button information acquiring module 130 needs to further obtain the control button information corresponding to the TV application to facilitate user manipulation. Since the functions corresponding to different or different types of applications are different, the corresponding control commands are also different. For example, the functions corresponding to QQ include inputting and deleting chat information, inserting expressions, sending information, etc.; corresponding functions of the web browser include URL input Loading web pages, flipping pages, etc.; the corresponding functions of the video player include pause, play, fast forward, backward, next, etc., so each function of the application can be made into a corresponding control button, by controlling the control button The corresponding functions can be executed, for example, the function of the QQ application is made into an input information button, a delete information button, an emoticon button, an information transmission button, etc., and the information input button can be used to send the currently input information.
可选的,所述控制按键信息至少包括若干控制按键的功能标识以及所述控制按键的功能标识所对应的按键值。Optionally, the control button information includes at least a function identifier of the plurality of control buttons and a button value corresponding to the function identifier of the control button.
对于控制按键信息的设置方式很多,具体包括两部分:第一部分用于告知用户是何种功能操控;第二部分用于告知电视应用是何种控制指令。因此,对于第一部分,可以通过控制按键的功能标识以告知用户是何种功能操控,该功能标识可以是文字、字母、符号等。比如通过功能的文字描述,例如删除(delete),发送(enter)等,此外,还可以使用相应的标识符号,比如快进采用“
Figure 25ba
Figure 25ba
”表示等。
There are many ways to set the control button information, including two parts: the first part is used to inform the user what kind of function control; the second part is used to inform the TV application what kind of control instruction. Therefore, for the first part, the function identification of the control button can be used to inform the user what function control is, and the function identification can be words, letters, symbols, and the like. For example, through the text description of the function, such as delete (delete), send (enter), etc. In addition, you can also use the corresponding identifier, such as fast forward using "
Figure 25ba
Figure 25ba
"Expression.
而对于第二部分,可以通过与控制按键的功能标识所对应的按键值以告知电视应用是何种控制指令。比如,快进按键所对应的按键值为0X01,暂停按键所对应的按键值为0X03等。此外,还可以采用与控制按键的功能标识所对应的功能函数的入口地址。比如,当用户选择了发送按键时,则通过发送功能函数的入口地址,直接调用发送功能函数将当前编辑的信息发送出去。For the second part, the button value corresponding to the function identifier of the control button can be used to inform the television application what kind of control command is. For example, the button value corresponding to the fast forward button is 0X01, and the button value corresponding to the pause button is 0X03. In addition, the entry address of the function function corresponding to the function identification of the control button can also be used. For example, when the user selects the send button, the currently edited information is directly sent by sending the function function's entry address and directly calling the send function.
控制界面生成模块140,用于根据所述控制按键信息,生成与所述电视应用相对应的控制操作界面以对所述电视应用进行相应控制。The control interface generating module 140 is configured to generate a control operation interface corresponding to the television application according to the control button information to perform corresponding control on the television application.
当按键信息获取模块130获取到当前被激活的电视应用的控制按键信息后,为便于用户与网络电视的人机交互,以便对当前被激活的电视应用进行相应控制,因此,控制界面生成模块140根据获取的控制按键信息,生成相应的控制操作界面,以方便用户更为直观地对当前被激活的电视应用进行控制。After the button information acquisition module 130 obtains the control button information of the currently activated TV application, in order to facilitate the user's interaction with the network television to control the currently activated TV application, the control interface generation module 140 is controlled. According to the obtained control button information, a corresponding control operation interface is generated to facilitate the user to more intuitively control the currently activated TV application.
需要进一步说明的是,本实施例中,通过控制操作界面对电视应用进行操作控制的方式不限,具体根据实际需要进行设置。比如,对于生成的电视应用的控制操作界面,既可以通过如遥控器以遥控方式进行操作控制,也可以直接通过用户手指触摸控制操作界面的方式进行操作控制。It should be further noted that, in this embodiment, the manner of controlling the operation of the television application by controlling the operation interface is not limited, and is specifically set according to actual needs. For example, for the control operation interface of the generated television application, the operation control may be performed by a remote control method such as a remote controller, or may be directly controlled by a user's finger touch control operation interface.
此外,控制按键信息还可以包括生成控制操作界面的格式参数,比如控制操作界面的颜色、所处当前电视屏幕的位置、各按键的布局等。以及还可以包括对控制操作界面的控制参数,比如,隐藏、显示、拖动、界面的设置菜单等。In addition, the control button information may further include generating a format parameter of the control operation interface, such as controlling the color of the operation interface, the position of the current television screen, the layout of each button, and the like. And may also include control parameters for controlling the operation interface, such as hiding, displaying, dragging, setting menu of the interface, and the like.
本实施例中,通过电视应用监测模块110监控被激活的电视应用,并通过应用标识获取模块120与按键信息获取模块130获取与该被激活的电视应用相对应的控制按键信息,进而控制界面生成模块140可以在电视屏幕上生成与该被激活的电视应用相对应的控制操作界面,因此,用户通过控制界面生成模块140生成的控制操作界面即可更为简便地对当前的电视应用进行控制操作,提高了用户对电视应用的操控体验,同时,由于本实施例中采用的是动态生成控制操作界面的方式,也即并不需要为每一电视应用设置相应的控制操作界面,因而也相应降低了对电视应用操控方式的开发成本。In this embodiment, the activated television application is monitored by the television application monitoring module 110, and the control button information corresponding to the activated television application is acquired by the application identifier acquiring module 120 and the button information acquiring module 130, thereby controlling the interface generation. The module 140 can generate a control operation interface corresponding to the activated television application on the television screen, so that the user can control the current television application more easily by controlling the control operation interface generated by the interface 140. The user's control experience on the TV application is improved. At the same time, since the method for dynamically generating the control operation interface is adopted in the embodiment, it is not necessary to set a corresponding control operation interface for each TV application, thereby correspondingly reducing The development cost of the TV application control method.
参照图7,图7为本发明电视应用的控制装置第二实施例的功能模块示意图。本实施例中,所述电视应用的控制装置还包括:Referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of functional modules of a second embodiment of a control apparatus for a television application according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the control device of the television application further includes:
按键选择监测模块150,用于监测所述控制操作界面上是否存在控制按键的选择操作;The button selection monitoring module 150 is configured to monitor whether there is a selection operation of the control button on the control operation interface;
本实施例中,对于生成的控制操作界面(可以看成是电视系统中的一个虚拟遥控器)的操控方式有多种,例如,当电视系统支持触屏操作时,用户可以直接通过手指触控控制操作界面而进行操作。在网络电视的通常应用场景中,一般用户都是远距离通过遥控器对电视应用进行控制操作,因此,本实施例中优选通过遥控设备在控制操作界面上进行选择操作,进而实现对当前电视应用的控制操作。也即用户通过遥控设备操控电视系统中的虚拟遥控器(即控制操作界面),然后再通过虚拟遥控器对当前电视应用进行操控。In this embodiment, there are various control modes for the generated control operation interface (which can be regarded as a virtual remote controller in the television system). For example, when the television system supports the touch screen operation, the user can directly touch the finger. Control the operation interface to operate. In the normal application scenario of the network television, the general user controls the television application remotely through the remote controller. Therefore, in this embodiment, the remote control device is preferably used to perform a selection operation on the control operation interface, thereby implementing the current television application. Control operation. That is, the user controls the virtual remote controller (ie, the control operation interface) in the television system through the remote control device, and then controls the current television application through the virtual remote controller.
需要进一步说明的是,当生成当前被激活的电视应用的相应控制操作界面后,电视系统可以自动激活遥控设备对控制操作界面的操控,也可以通过相应手动操控方式将遥控设备的控制焦点转移到控制操作界面上,从而通过按键选择监测模块150监测控制操作界面上是否存在控制按键的选择操作以判断是否存在对当前电视应用的操控。It should be further noted that, after generating the corresponding control operation interface of the currently activated TV application, the television system may automatically activate the control of the control operation interface by the remote control device, or may transfer the control focus of the remote control device to the corresponding manual control mode. The control operation interface is configured to monitor whether there is a control button selection operation on the control operation interface by the button selection monitoring module 150 to determine whether there is manipulation of the current television application.
按键值获取模块160,用于当监测到所述控制操作界面上存在控制按键的选择操作时,获取所选择的控制按键的功能标识所对应的按键值;The button value obtaining module 160 is configured to acquire a button value corresponding to the function identifier of the selected control button when the selection operation of the control button exists on the control operation interface;
当按键选择监测模块150监测到控制操作界面上存在控制按键的选择操作时,也即存在对当前电视应用的操控时,按键值获取模块160获取所选择的控制按键的功能标识所对应的按键值,也即将用户在控制操作界面上的按键操作通过按键值转换为电视应用可以识别的操控指令。When the button selection monitoring module 150 detects that there is a selection operation of the control button on the control operation interface, that is, when there is a manipulation of the current television application, the button value acquisition module 160 acquires the button value corresponding to the function identifier of the selected control button. That is, the key operation of the user on the control operation interface is converted into a manipulation instruction recognizable by the television application through the key value.
按键值发送模块170,用于根据电视系统的按键值分发机制,将获取的按键值发送至所述电视应用以对所述电视应用执行相应的控制操作功能。The button value sending module 170 is configured to send the obtained button value to the television application to perform a corresponding control operation function on the television application according to a button value distribution mechanism of the television system.
现有网络电视中,电视系统通常采用按键值分发机制将接收到的用户在遥控设备上的操作按键所对应的按键值上报给当前被激活的电视应用,电视应用接收到上报的按键值后,将根据预先设置的按键值与功能函数的对应关系,调用相应功能函数以执行相应的控制操作功能。比如,通过按键值发送模块170上报给电视应用的按键值为0X01,且该按键值在电视应用中所对应的操作功能为快进,则电视应用在接收到该按键值后,调用快进功能函数,以对当前电视应用执行快进的控制操作。In the existing network television, the television system usually uses the key value distribution mechanism to report the key value corresponding to the received operation button of the user on the remote control device to the currently activated television application, and after receiving the reported key value, the television application receives the reported button value. The corresponding function function is called to perform the corresponding control operation function according to the correspondence between the preset key value and the function function. For example, if the button value reported by the button value sending module 170 to the TV application is 0X01, and the operation function corresponding to the button value in the TV application is fast forward, the TV application calls the fast forward function after receiving the button value. Function to perform fast-forward control operations on current TV applications.
如图3所示的聊天应用的控制操作界面以及如图4所示的控制操作界面应用场景。本实施例中,用户通过遥控设备即可在生成的控制操作界面进行控制按键的选择操作,当控制操作界面上的相应按键被选择后,当前电视应用即可执行与该被选择的按键所对应的操作功能,进而实现用户对当前电视应用的控制操作。The control operation interface of the chat application shown in FIG. 3 and the control operation interface application scenario shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the user can perform a control button selection operation on the generated control operation interface by using the remote control device. When the corresponding button on the control operation interface is selected, the current television application can execute the corresponding button corresponding to the selected button. The operational functions, in turn, enable the user to control the current television application.
本实施例中,由于直接控制电视应用的控制按键设置于控制操作界面上,也即可以看成是在电视系统中生成了与该被激活的应用相应的虚拟控制器,用户只需通过手中的实体遥控设备上的少数几个按键即可操作虚拟遥控器上的所有按键,从而无需在遥控设备再增加针对电视应用的实体按键,此外,由于针对每一电视应用都是动态生成相应的虚拟遥控器,因此,不仅在实体遥控设备的设置上改进了操控方式,降低了控制方式的开发成本,同时更进一步在电视应用上也节省了单独为每一应用开发相应的静态快捷按键的成本,从而在网络电视以及电视应用的开发上节省了产品开发成本,同时也方便了用户对电视应用的简便操控,提高了用户对电视应用的使用体验。In this embodiment, since the control button for directly controlling the television application is disposed on the control operation interface, it can be regarded as that a virtual controller corresponding to the activated application is generated in the television system, and the user only needs to pass the A few buttons on the physical remote control device can operate all the buttons on the virtual remote control, so there is no need to add physical buttons for the TV application in the remote control device. In addition, since each TV application is dynamically generated corresponding to the virtual remote control Therefore, not only the control mode of the physical remote control device is improved, the development cost of the control method is reduced, and the cost of developing a corresponding static shortcut button for each application is further saved in the television application, thereby In the development of network TV and TV applications, the product development cost is saved, and the user's simple control of the TV application is facilitated, and the user experience of the TV application is improved.
参照图8,图8为图6中按键信息获取模块的细化功能模块示意图。本实施例中,所述按键信息获取模块130包括:Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a refinement function module of the button information acquisition module in FIG. In this embodiment, the button information acquiring module 130 includes:
按键信息请求单元1301,用于根据所述电视应用的标识,向所述服务器发送控制按键信息的获取请求;The button information requesting unit 1301 is configured to send an acquisition request of the control button information to the server according to the identifier of the television application;
由于每一台网络电视内所安装的电视应用并不一定都相同,同时,网络电视上能够安装的电视应用有成千上万种之多,此外,每天也会有多种不同的新应用上线或者现有应用的新功能更新,因而对于控制按键信息的存放来说,并不能在网络电视出厂时预置于电视机内,因此,本实施例中:Since the TV applications installed in each network TV are not necessarily the same, there are thousands of TV applications that can be installed on the Internet TV. In addition, there are many different new applications coming online every day. Or the new function update of the existing application, so that the storage of the control button information cannot be preset in the television set when the network television is shipped from the factory. Therefore, in this embodiment:
优选将每一电视应用所对应的控制按键信息预先保存在预设服务器上。比如,该服务器可以由提供本发明虚拟遥控器服务的运营商或者该网络电视生产厂商提供。此外,可选的,控制按键信息也可以从服务器上打包下载到网络电视的本地存储器上,并保持与服务器的连接以进行更新。Preferably, the control button information corresponding to each TV application is pre-stored on the preset server. For example, the server may be provided by an operator providing the virtual remote control service of the present invention or the network television manufacturer. In addition, optionally, the control button information can also be packaged and downloaded from the server to the local storage of the network television, and the connection with the server is maintained for updating.
由于控制按键信息保存在服务器上,因此,按键信息请求单元1301需要根据被激活电视应用的标识,向服务器发送获取该标识所对应的电视应用的控制按键信息的请求。Since the control button information is saved on the server, the button information requesting unit 1301 needs to send a request for obtaining the control button information of the television application corresponding to the identifier to the server according to the identifier of the activated TV application.
按键信息接收单元1302,用于接收所述服务器所返回的与所述电视应用的标识相对应的控制按键信息。The button information receiving unit 1302 is configured to receive control button information corresponding to the identifier of the television application returned by the server.
当服务器接收到控制按键信息的获取请求后,将以被激活电视应用的标识作为索引,搜索与该标识对应的电视应用的控制按键信息,并将搜索到的对应控制按键信息返回给按键信息接收单元1302。After receiving the request for acquiring the control button information, the server searches for the control button information of the television application corresponding to the identifier by using the identifier of the activated TV application, and returns the searched corresponding control button information to the button information receiving. Unit 1302.
本实施例中,由于控制按键信息保存在服务器上,因而,即使有新的电视应用上线或者现有电视应用的功能升级更新,都无需修改网络电视上的控制操作界面,而只需在服务器端重新部署相应的控制按键信息即可,网络电视将根据接收到的新的控制按键信息,生成与当前电视应用匹配的新的控制操作界面,因而,从一定程度上降低了开发成本,同时也增强了控制操作软件的可扩展性。In this embodiment, since the control button information is saved on the server, even if a new TV application is launched or the function of the existing TV application is updated and updated, there is no need to modify the control operation interface on the network television, but only on the server side. Redeploy the corresponding control button information, and the network TV will generate a new control operation interface matching the current TV application according to the received new control button information, thereby reducing the development cost to a certain extent, and also enhancing Control the scalability of the operating software.
