Detailed ways

In the video application, the program for controlling the television program based on the program grading needs to set the play control policy and password for each video application, which causes the user setting operation to be cumbersome and complicated. In addition, the above solution may also have the risk that a malicious video application modifies the play control policy or tests the password to cause the play control policy to fail.

In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a program play control method and terminal applied to a terminal.

In the present disclosure, the play control policy is stored in the terminal, and the terminal is further provided with a rights verification application independent of the video application. The rights verification application can be provided for use by various video applications (such as Internet video applications) installed on the terminal, and the rights verification function for program play is no longer provided by each video application, but the rights verification application provides permission verification. Function, the video music on the terminal can implement the play control of the program based on the stored play control policy and the right verification function provided by the permission verification application. According to the disclosure, on the one hand, the playback control policy is stored in the terminal and is opened for use by each video application, and the user does not have to separately set the playback control policy in each video application, which simplifies the user setting operation; Applying an independent permission verification application can prevent malicious video applications from testing the authorization verification information, thereby reducing the risk of invalidation of the playback control policy and improving security.

Alternatively, the playback control policy can be stored in the operating system of the terminal. Since the security of the operating system is higher than that of the video application, the risk of the malicious application modifying the playback control policy can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the playback control policy being invalid.

The above-described objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the aspects of the appended claims.

The terminal in the present disclosure may be a television set, such as a smart television set, or may be other similar computer equipment having an operating system and playable programs. The program can be understood as a media stream provided by a video application, such as a television, a movie, or other program provided by a video application.

The following embodiments are described by taking a television as an example, but the principles of the following embodiments are also applicable to other types of terminals.

Referring to Figure 1, a schematic diagram of the principles provided by the present disclosure is provided.

As shown in the figure, taking the terminal as a TV as an example, a video application can be installed in the TV, and multiple video applications can be installed (as shown in the video application 1 to video application n, n is an integer greater than 1) ). These video applications can provide programs, such as movies, TV shows, and the like. These video applications can be third party applications. The television has an operating system, including but not limited to Android, Windows, and the present disclosure does not limit the type of operating system.

In the present disclosure, a rights verification application is provided in the television. Optionally, the rights verification application may be set in an operating system, that is, the rights verification application is a system application or a system service. The rights verification application can be preset as part of the operating system before the device leaves the factory, or installed in the TV during the factory upgrade process.

The rights verification application is used for performing rights verification, and the program can be played only after the verification is passed, and if the verification fails, the program is prohibited from being played. Optionally, the rights verification application may compare the rights verification information input by the user with the rights verification information set by the user, and if the two match, the verification passes, otherwise the verification fails.

In the present disclosure, the user is allowed to set the authority verification information, and further, the user is allowed to modify the authority verification information. To ensure security, optionally, the rights verification information can be accessed by the rights verification application, but not by the video application. Optionally, the user-set rights verification information may be stored in a television operating system.

Optionally, the rights verification information may include one or any combination of the following: a character password, a gesture, and biological feature information. The biological characteristic information includes, but is not limited to, a fingerprint, a voice print, and the like, and the disclosure is not limited.

In the present disclosure, a playback control policy is stored in the television operation. Alternatively, for security reasons, the playback control policy can be stored in the operating system. The playback control policy is used to define the programs that need to be controlled for playback. The video application can obtain a playback control policy stored in the television, and based on the policy, determine whether to play control on the program requested to be played.

Optionally, in the present disclosure, the user is allowed to set a play control policy. Further, the user is allowed to modify the playback control policy. The operating system can also provide a default playback control policy.

Optionally, the television can provide a first interface and a second interface. Alternatively, if the playback control policy is stored in the operating system, the first interface may be provided by the operating system. Alternatively, the second interface may be provided by a rights verification application. Optionally, if the rights verification application is set in an operating system of the terminal, the second interface may be provided by an operating system of the terminal. The video application can obtain the stored play control policy through the first interface, and invoke the rights verification application through the second interface. Optionally, the first interface and/or the second interface is an application programming interface (API).

When the user selects a program request to play by using the video application, the video application determines whether to play control on the currently requested program according to the play control policy. If the determination is yes, the permission verification application is invoked, and after the permission verification application is invoked, according to the user input. The permission verification information and the stored permission verification information are used for the authority verification, and the verification result is returned to the video application, and the video application determines whether to play the currently requested program according to the permission verification result.

2 is a schematic diagram of a program play control process applied to a terminal according to the present disclosure, wherein a video application is run in the terminal, a rights verification application is set, and a play control policy is set.

As shown, the process can include:

S201: The video application running on the terminal receives a program play instruction, and the program play instruction includes information associated with the program requested to be played.

The information related to the program requested to be played included in the program play instruction may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following information: an address of the program, a name of the program, a video application from which the program is derived, and a program. The content type and the like are not limited in this disclosure.

In this step, when the user selects the program provided by the application through the video application and operates the “play” button, the operating system generates a program play instruction, and sends the program play instruction to the video application. The program play command is used to request playback of the selected program.

S202: The video application reads a preset play control policy in the terminal.

S203: The video application determines whether to perform play control on the requested program according to the content attribute of the requested program and the read play control policy. If it is determined that the playback control is performed on the requested program, the process proceeds to S204, and otherwise proceeds to S206.

In the present disclosure, optionally, the content attribute of the program may include one of the following attributes:

- The program rating to which the content of the program belongs. For example, the program rating may be divided into an unrestricted level and a restricted level according to the content of the program. Further, the restricted level may further include a plurality of sub-levels. Different playback rights can be set corresponding to different ratings. The present disclosure does not limit the program rating method.

- The video application from which the content of the program is sourced.

- The type of content of the show. For example, the type of content of the program can be divided into children's programs, adult programs, and the like. Of course, it can also be divided from other angles, such as animation, variety shows, and the like.

- The source of the content of the program. The signal source may include but is not limited to: ATV (Analog TV), DTV (Digital TV), HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), AV component, VGA (Video Graphics Array, video graphics array), etc.

- The channel used for the content of the program.

The above merely exemplifies several attributes of the content of the program, and the present disclosure does not limit the content attributes of the program.

In the present disclosure, a flexible playback control strategy can be provided based on the content attributes of the program.

For example, the play control strategy and the corresponding play control decision method may include one of the following:

(1) A playback control policy is defined according to the program hierarchy to which the content of the program belongs.

Different program ratings can correspond to different playback control strategies. For example, for a non-restricted program, its corresponding playback control policy can be set to: no playback control. For another example, for a program of a restricted level, the corresponding playback control policy may be set to: perform playback control. The program of the non-restricted level is generally suitable for watching by any age group, and no playback control is required; the program of the restricted level is usually only suitable for a specific group of people (such as an adult or a charging user), and needs to be played and controlled.

Correspondingly, if the program grading to which the program to be played belongs belongs to the program grading defined by the playback control policy and the playback control is required, the decision is made to perform playback control on the requested program.

(2) Define a playback control strategy based on the video application from which the content of the program originates.

Different video applications can correspond to different playback control strategies. For example, for a video application that specifically provides a children's program, the corresponding playback control policy may be set to: no playback control is provided for the program provided by the video application. For another example, for a video application that provides a restricted program, its corresponding playback control policy can be set to: play control on a program originating from the video application.

Correspondingly, if the video application from which the content of the requested program is derived belongs to a video application defined by the playback control policy that needs to be played back, it is determined that playback control of the requested program is required.

(3) Define a playback control policy according to the type of content of the program.

The content of different types of programs may correspond to different playback control strategies. For example, for a children's program, the corresponding playback control policy can be set to: no playback control. For the variety show, the corresponding play control strategy can be set to: play control.

Correspondingly, if the content type of the program requested to be played belongs to a program type defined by the playback control policy that needs to be played and controlled, it is decided that playback control of the requested program is required.

(4) Define a playback control strategy based on the source of the content of the program.

Programs of different signal sources may have different playback control strategies.

Correspondingly, if the signal source of the content of the requested program belongs to a signal source defined by the playback control policy that needs to be played back, it is determined that playback control of the requested program is required.

(5) The playback control policy is defined according to the channel used by the content of the program.

Programs of different channels may have different playback control strategies. For example, for a channel for playing a children's program, the corresponding play control policy may be set to: no play control. For another example, for a channel for playing a variety show program, the corresponding play control policy may be set to: play control.

Correspondingly, if the channel used for the content of the program to be played belongs to a channel defined by the playback control policy that needs to be played, the decision is made to perform playback control on the requested program.

Optionally, the play control policy may be defined according to various attributes of the content of the program, and accordingly, when the play control decision is made, the decision is also made according to various attributes of the content of the program, for example, in a video application according to the content of the program. And an example of the program hierarchy definition playback control policy to which the program content belongs, the play control strategy is: if the video application from which the content of the program is derived is a video application specifically for providing children's programs, no playback control is performed; otherwise, the program needs to be followed. The program to which the content belongs is hierarchically controlled for playback. Correspondingly, if the content of the program requested to be played is derived from the video application dedicated to the children's program, the playback control may be performed; if the content of the requested program is derived from other video applications, and the content of the program is unrestricted Level, there is no need to play control; if the content of the program requested to be played is derived from other video applications, and the content of the program belongs to the restricted level, then the program needs to be played and controlled.

Optionally, the video application may obtain a play control policy according to the first interface provided by calling the terminal, and then determine whether to perform play control according to the play control policy and the content attribute of the program to be played.

S204: The video application invokes the permission verification application and obtains the permission verification result returned by the permission verification application.

The rights verification application is configured to obtain the rights verification information input by the user, verify the rights verification information, and return the rights verification result.

Specifically, in some embodiments, after the rights verification application is invoked, the following operations may be performed: prompting the user to input the rights verification information; obtaining the rights verification information input by the user, and verifying the rights verification information input by the user and the operating system The stored permission verification information is compared, and the authority verification result is obtained according to the comparison result. If the authorization verification information input by the user matches the authority verification information stored in the terminal, the verification is passed, otherwise the verification fails.

Optionally, the rights verification information may include one or any combination of the following: a character password, a gesture, and biological feature information. The biological characteristic information includes, but is not limited to, a fingerprint, a voice print, and the like, and the disclosure is not limited. Depending on the authorization verification information, the authorization verification method is also different. For example, if the authority verification information is a password, the authority verification application can provide a password input interface for displaying, prompting the user to input a password, and receiving the password input by the user through the user interface, and then saving the password entered by the user with the operating system. The password is compared and the verification result is obtained. For another example, if the authority verification information is a voiceprint, the authority verification application can provide a user interface, prompting the user to read the text prompted in the user interface, collecting the voice of the user through the sound collection device, and performing voiceprint extraction, and then operating. The voiceprints pre-stored in the system are compared to obtain verification results.

Optionally, in some embodiments, after the rights verification application is invoked, the rights verification information input interface may be displayed, and the rights verification information input by the user through the rights verification information input interface is obtained. For example, taking the authorization verification information as an example of the password, the permission verification application can cause the television to display a password input interface on the screen thereof, and the user inputs the password input box provided in the user interface through a soft keyboard on the remote controller or the television screen. Password, which enables local authority verification.

Optionally, in another embodiment, after the rights verification application is invoked, the rights verification application may instruct the electronic device associated with the terminal to obtain the rights verification information input by the user, and receive the user input sent by the electronic device. Permission verification information. For example, if the authority verification information is a password and the terminal is an example of a mobile phone, the association between the mobile phone and the television may be set in advance, for example, the parent's mobile phone is associated with the television. The authority verification application can send an indication message to the associated mobile phone through the television to instruct the mobile phone to display a password input interface, and the user inputs a password in the password input box provided by the user interface, and sends the password to the authority verification application through the mobile phone. This enables remote permission verification.

Optionally, the rights verification information may be set according to multiple levels of authority. For example, C1, C2, and C3 are included from low to high according to the program rating, and corresponding password 1, password 2, and password 3 can be set accordingly. If the password entered by the user matches the password 1, only the program with the program rating C1 can be played, and the program with the program rating C2 and C3 cannot be played; if the password entered by the user matches the password 2, the program can be played as C1 and The program of C2, but the program whose program rating is C3 cannot be played; if the password input by several users matches the password 3, the programs whose programs are classified into C1, C2 and C3 can be played.

Optionally, the video application may invoke the permission verification application by calling the second interface, and obtain the permission verification result returned by the permission verification application.

S205: The video application performs playback control on the requested program according to the permission verification result.

In this step, if the authority verification is passed, the process proceeds to S206, and the requested program is played; if the authority verification fails, the process proceeds to S207, the program requested to be played is abandoned, and the prompt information is further outputted, indicating that the playback is prohibited. the reason.

S206: The video application plays the program requested to be played.

S207: The video application abandons playing the program requested to be played.

In the present disclosure, the play control policy is stored in the terminal, and can be provided to each video application installed on the terminal, and the terminal is also provided with a rights verification application for the independent and video application, so that the video application is no longer provided by each video application. The rights verification function of the program is played, but the rights verification function is provided by the rights verification application, and the video application on the terminal can implement the play control of the program based on the play control policy stored in the terminal and the rights verification application provided in the terminal. According to the present disclosure, on the one hand, the playback control policy is stored in the terminal and is opened for use by each video application, and the user does not have to separately set the playback control policy in each video application, which simplifies the user setting operation; on the other hand, it is independent of The video application's permission verification application provides permission verification function, which can prevent malicious video applications from testing the authorization verification information, thereby reducing the risk of invalidation of the playback control policy and improving security.
