It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in this application to describe various information, the information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, the first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted as "when" or "when" or "in response to certainty".

In order to clearly explain the video search method of the present application, the following describes the video search methods performed by the external control device side of the TV and the TV side from a single-sided perspective:

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a video search method applied to an external control device of a television in this application. As shown in Figure 1, the process can include the following steps:

Step 101: Obtain the target voice collected by the microphone after the target application button on the external control device is triggered. The external control device is an external control device of a TV. The external device includes a microphone and an application button. The application button is associated with at least one third-party application.

As an example, the external device may be a remote control or a device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer with a remote control function. When the external device controls the TV, it can be realized through Bluetooth, infrared, or the like.

As an example, the third party in the third-party application is relative to the organization to which the voice search engine built in the TV belongs. Normally, the voice search engine built into the TV is developed by the TV manufacturer. In this case, other video suppliers other than the TV manufacturer can act as a third party. For these third parties, they usually have some specific videos. Before these third parties provide a search interface to the voice search engine set in the TV, the specific videos cannot be searched by the built-in voice search engine in the TV. The applications developed by these third parties can be used as the aforementioned third-party applications, and these third-party applications have embedded search interfaces provided by the third parties, which can search the aforementioned specific videos. For example, the third-party applications may be XX applications developed by XX company, YY applications developed by YY company, and other applications. Correspondingly, the application buttons corresponding to the aforementioned third-party applications refer to XX application buttons, YY application buttons and other buttons. In addition to the aforementioned case where one application button corresponds to a third-party application, one application button can also correspond to multiple third-party applications, for example, one application button is associated with an XX application and a YY application at the same time. It should be noted that which application an application button is specifically associated with can be preset by the TV manufacturer or independently set by the user, which is not specifically limited in this application.

As an example, the method of triggering the target application button in step 101 may be a single click, a double click, a long press, a touch, and so on. According to the different button triggering methods, there are also differences between the corresponding multiple implementation methods of acquiring the target voice through the microphone. Specific examples will be given below, and we will not repeat them here.

Step 102: Generate instruction information according to the target application button and the target voice.

As an example, the instruction information is used to control the TV to start a third-party target application in the third-party application associated with the target application button, and use the target voice to search for the target video in the third-party target application. The instruction information includes two parts. One part is the target button information generated after the target application button is triggered. The target button information is used to control the TV to determine the third-party target application to be started, and the other part is the target collected by the microphone. Voice, which serves as the search content of the search.

There are many ways to generate instruction information. As an example, when the instruction information is generated, the target key information and the target voice may be integrated and then encoded to obtain the instruction information. As another example, it is also possible to further compress the target key information and/or target voice before encoding, so as to reduce the file size of the command information and improve the transmission efficiency.

Step 103: Send the instruction information to the TV to control the TV to start a third-party target application and search for a target video in the started third-party target application according to the target voice, where the third-party target application is the One of the third-party applications associated with the target application button.

In step 103, after the instruction information is sent to the television, the television will determine and start a third-party target application according to the instruction information and at least one third-party application associated with the target application button. Furthermore, after the third-party target application is started, the search interface of the third-party target application is called to search for the target video.

At this point, the process shown in Figure 1 is completed.

It can be seen from the process shown in Figure 1 that in this application, by setting a microphone on the external control device of the TV and an application button associated with at least one third-party application, the target application button can be triggered according to the target application Generate instruction information by pressing the button and the target voice; and send the instruction information to the TV to control the TV to start the third target application determined according to the instruction information and search for the target video in the started third target application . This application avoids the need for a user to manually find and start a specific application when searching for a specific video provided by a supplier of a specific video, and manually complete the search complex operation, which improves the user experience.

The application buttons in the video search method shown in Figure 1 will be described below:

When the external control device is a remote control of the TV, the application key may be a key set on the existing remote control, or a key newly set relative to the existing remote control key.

First, the implementation of the application button as a newly set button on the remote control will be described:

As an example, the application button is newly set on the remote control based on an associated third-party application. In the case that the application button is a newly set button, the application button is added on the basis of not modifying the original button of the remote control, and the function of the application button is independent of the function of the set button of the remote control. The remote controller as shown in 2A in FIG. 2 includes a plurality of newly set application buttons 2A-1 and microphones 2A-2. The multiple newly set application buttons 2A-1 are specifically 5 buttons marked with XX, YY, CC, DD and general search words. Among them, the application button with XX is associated with XX application, the application button with YY is associated with YY application, the application button with CC is associated with CC application, and the application button with DD is associated with DD application. It should be noted that there may be no correspondence between the logo on the button and its associated third-party application. For example, the icon of the third-party application can be set on the application button as the logo, or the icon of the third-party company or Other arbitrary icons are set on the application buttons, and this application does not limit them. It is understandable that, in order to distinguish different third-party applications and use application buttons reasonably, when the number of application buttons is greater than or equal to the number of third-party applications, different application buttons can be set to associate with different third-party applications. Of course, it is also possible to set the application buttons to be associated with multiple third-party applications according to the user's own settings or when the number of application buttons is less than the number of third-party applications. As shown in Figure 2, different from the aforementioned four application buttons, the control device in Figure 2 is also provided with an application button marked with the word "universal search". In this example, the button is set to be associated with multiple third-party applications, such as Multiple third-party applications in the above 4 third-party applications, or multiple other third-party applications installed in the associated TV, such as the associated XX application and YY application, or the VV video application and NN installed in the associated TV Video application. In the case that the application button is associated with all third-party applications in the TV, only one application button can also be set on the remote control to realize the search for the target video in different third-party applications. It should be noted that the number of application buttons can be flexibly set by the TV manufacturer according to specific needs, and third-party applications associated with the application buttons can be flexibly set by the TV manufacturer according to specific needs or can be set independently by the user.

As another example, at least one application key newly set on the remote control based on each third-party application may be further set in a designated area on the remote control. For example, the designated area setting can be on the upper or lower part of the remote control. Taking the designated area as the upper part of the remote control as an example, the remote control shown in Figure 2B 2B includes multiple application buttons 2B-1 and microphone 2B-2, and multiple application buttons 2B-1 are correspondingly set on the remote control. The upper part. Taking the designated area as the lower part of the remote control as an example, the remote control shown in Figure 2C, which includes multiple application buttons 2C-1 and microphone 2C-2, and multiple application buttons 2C-1 are correspondingly set on the remote control The lower part.

The above describes how the application button is a newly set button on the remote control.

Secondly, the implementation of the application buttons as the buttons that have been set on the remote control will be described:

In the case that the application button is a button that has been set on the remote control, two different triggering methods need to be set for the button, so that the application button can be used as an application button or a set button on the remote control under different triggering methods.

As an example, the application button is a button that has been set on the remote control, and when the button is triggered for the first duration, it serves as an application button and is associated with at least one third-party application. When the key is triggered for a time period that does not reach the first time period, the key is used as a key set on the remote control to perform the original function. Based on this, when determining whether a button on the remote control is specifically an application button or an original button, it can be implemented in the manner shown in FIG. 3: Step 104, when it is detected that a button on the external control device is triggered, acquire that the button is triggered Step 105, if the duration is greater than or equal to the first duration, determine that the button is the target application button. For example, when the Tencent Video application button is a volume up button that has been set on the remote control, and the first time duration set for the button is 2 seconds, long press the button for 2 seconds or more than 2 seconds, Then the button is used as a Tencent Video application button. When the button is pressed for less than 2 seconds, the button is used as the original volume up button for increasing the volume of the TV. It should be noted that, during specific implementation, the first duration can be set to other durations such as 1 second or 3 seconds according to actual needs, and this application is not specifically limited.

As another example, the application button is a button that has been set on the remote control. When the button is triggered in the first trigger mode, it serves as an application button and is associated with at least one third-party application; When the trigger mode is triggered, it is used as a key set on the remote control to perform the original function of the key. In this example, the first trigger mode may be single-click, and the second trigger mode may be double-click. That is, when the application button is clicked, the button is used as the application button, and when the button is double-clicked, the button is used as the button that has been set on the remote control. It should be noted that the single-click and double-click are only used to illustrate how to distinguish the functions of the application button when the application button is a button that has been set on the remote control, and is not specifically limited. In specific implementation, the first triggering party and the second triggering mode can be specifically set according to actual needs, and the difference between the first triggering party and the second triggering mode can realize the distinction between the key functions.

The implementation of the application buttons as the buttons that have been set on the remote control has been described above.

The following will describe in step 101: how to obtain the target voice collected by the microphone after the target application button on the external control device is triggered.

As an example, the acquisition of the target voice in step 101 can be implemented in the manner shown in Fig. 4:

Step 1011: Acquire voices collected by the microphone during the process of triggering the target application button and/or within a set time period after being triggered;

Step 1012: Determine the collected voice as the target voice.

There are three implementation methods in this example, which will be described separately below.

First, how to obtain the voice collected by the microphone when the target application button is triggered is described. The process of triggering the target application button refers to the process from after the user triggers the target application button to the user stopping triggering the target application button. Specifically, after the user triggers the target application button, the microphone will start to collect the user's voice. When the user completes the voice input, the triggering of the target application button can be stopped, and accordingly, the microphone will also stop the voice collection. By manually controlling the duration of the microphone's voice collection, the microphone's collection duration can be flexibly increased or decreased according to the duration of the target voice.

Secondly, how to obtain the voice collected by the microphone within the set time period after the target application button is triggered is described. The setting time can be pre-set by the manufacturer when the remote control leaves the factory, or it can be set by the user. Specifically, after the user triggers the button of the target application, the microphone will start to collect the user's voice, and stop collecting the user's voice when the collection time reaches the set duration. It should be noted that the setting duration corresponding to each application button can be set independently, and the setting duration can be set according to the search restriction of the third-party application corresponding to the button or the user’s search habits, etc. This application does not Specific restrictions.

Finally, how to obtain the target voice when the above two implementation methods coexist is described. When the above two implementations coexist, there will be two situations in which the process of triggering the target application button exceeds or does not exceed the predetermined duration. Since most search engines themselves impose restrictions on the duration of a single input voice, such as a maximum of 20 seconds of voice input, the preset duration can be set to the maximum duration restricted by the search engine. Based on this, when the process of triggering the target application button does not exceed the predetermined time period, the voice of the microphone during the process of triggering the target application button is acquired. When the process of triggering the target application button exceeds the predetermined time period, the voice collected by the microphone within the set time period is acquired. This allows the user to complete the voice collection when the voice input is completed when inputting a short voice, instead of waiting for the collection time to reach the preset time, and when the user input voice exceeds the voice length limited by the search engine, it can also be Stop the continued collection of subsequent voices in time.

The foregoing describes how to obtain the target voice collected by the microphone after the target application button on the external control device is triggered in step 101.

The video search method of this application will be described below from the TV side.

Fig. 5 is a flow chart of a video search method applied to TV in this application. As shown in Figure 5, the method includes:

Step 201: Receive instruction information sent by an external control device, where the instruction information carries target key information and target voice information, wherein the target voice information carries target video keywords, and the external control device can control the TV;

As an example, after the TV receives the instruction information, it can obtain the target button information and the target voice information by parsing the instruction information. The target video keywords included in the target voice information can be the video name of the video, the limited range of the video, or which videos are searched in which application. For example, when the target video keyword is the video name, it can be "Once Upon a Time in America" or "Let the bullet fly", etc. When the target video keyword is a limited range of the video, it can be "the best Oscar film in the past 10 years" or "the film directed by Zhang Yimou", etc. When the target video keyword is to search which videos in which application, it may be "search for funny videos in YY application" or the like.

Regarding the generation process of the instruction information, please refer to the description of the relevant content on the side of the external control device of the TV, which will not be repeated here.

Step 202: Determine and start the third-party target application from the third-party applications associated with the target application button according to the instruction information, and search for the started third-party application according to the target video keywords in the target voice information The target video.

In step 202, there are many ways to determine the third-party target application, which will be described in detail below, and will not be repeated here.

In step 202, searching for the target video in the started third-party application according to the target voice information can be implemented in many ways. As an example, a voice search interface of a third-party application can be called to search for target voice information to obtain a target video. As another example, searching for a target video in a started third-party application according to the target voice includes: parsing the target voice information to obtain the target video keywords; and by calling the search interface of the third-party application and The target video is searched for according to the target video keyword. In this example, first perform voice recognition on the target voice information to obtain the target video keywords in text form. Then call the text search interface of the third-party application to search the target video keywords in the text form to obtain the target video.

At this point, the process shown in Figure 5 is completed.

It can be seen from the process shown in Figure 5 that in this application, the TV is configured to automatically start a third-party target application according to the command information after parsing the command information, and control the third-party target application to search for target voice information In order to obtain the target video, it solves the problem that the existing TV can only realize the one-key voice search of its built-in general search engine, but cannot realize the one-key voice search for third-party applications.

The following describes how to determine the third-party target application from the third-party applications associated with the target application button in step 202 according to the instruction information.

As an example, the determination of the third-party target application from the third-party applications associated with the target application button according to the instruction information can be implemented in the manner shown in FIG. 6: Step 2021, find all the applications from the generated button application association table. The third-party application corresponding to the target key information; step 2022, the found third-party application is determined as the third-party target application. Table 1 is an exemplary key application association table, in which application key information and third-party applications corresponding to the application key information are pre-recorded. The application key information can be one or more of numerical values, letters, and character strings. The application key information in Table 1 uses numerical values as an example.

Table 1 Key application association table

应用按键信息Application key information	第三方应用third-party usage	应用按键信息Application key information	第三方应用third-party usage
001001	YY应用YY application	002002	ZZ应用ZZ application
003003	DD应用DD application	004004	CC应用CC application

The corresponding records in Table 1 include application key information and third-party applications. For example, when the target application key information is 001, it can be found in Table 1 that the third-party application corresponding to the target key information is the YY application, and the YY application is determined as the third-party target application.

As another example, on the premise that the triggered target application button is associated with multiple third-party applications, the target voice information needs to further carry the target application information, so that the TV can use the carried target application information to determine the third-party target application Based on this, the third-party target application is determined from the third-party applications associated with the target application button according to the instruction information, which can be implemented in the manner shown in FIG. 7: Step 2023, according to the target application information carried by the target voice information A third-party application matching the target application information is determined among the multiple third-party applications associated with the target application button; step 2023, the determined third-party application is determined as the third-party target application.

As an example, the target application button may be associated with multiple third-party applications. For example, the button may be associated with all third-party applications installed on the TV or two or three third-party applications. For example, the button marked with a general search word shown in FIG. 2 can be used as a target application button associated with multiple third-party applications. When the target application button is associated with multiple third-party applications, the target voice information needs to include the third-party application information associated with the button. For example, the target voice information carries information such as "YY" or "YY application". Third-party application information serves as a necessary condition for determining the third-party target application. After that, among the multiple third-party applications associated with the target application button, it is determined whether there is a third-party application matching the third-party application information, and if there is, the matching third-party application is determined as the third-party target application. For example, if the target application button is associated with the YY application and the ZZ application, the matching third-party application can be determined as the YY application based on the "YY application" information carried in the target voice information, and the YY application can be determined as the third-party target application .

In this example, one application button can be configured to associate multiple third-party applications. When there are many third-party applications installed on the TV, or when the external control device is limited in size, it is difficult to accommodate many third-party application buttons. Searching for the target video in a third-party application not only saves the volume of the external control device, but also enables the user to easily search in each application when multiple third-party applications are installed on the TV, which improves the user experience.

The above describes how to determine the third-party target application from the third-party applications associated with the target application button in step 202 according to the instruction information.

In this application, once the target video is searched in the third-party application in step 202, it can be displayed or played, as described in detail below:

As an example, after step 202, the method further includes: displaying or playing at least one video in the searched target video set.

First, it describes how to display at least one video in the searched target video set. After completing the search, a target video set including at least one target video will be obtained. It can directly display the target video collection obtained by the third-party target application after searching, and can also display the target video collection according to the corresponding configuration of the user in advance, such as displaying only 3 target videos and only displaying target videos that can be played for free , Display only the target videos within the last 3 months or display the target videos after sorting them according to the degree of correlation between the target videos and the keywords of the target videos, etc.

Secondly, it describes how to play at least one video in the searched target video set. Generally, when users search for a target video, their ultimate goal is to play the target video. Based on this, this example will automatically select one of the target videos to play after searching for the target video set. It can select the target video ranked first in the search results for playback, select the target video with the highest definition for playback, Select the target video with the most clicks for playback, or select the most relevant target video for playback according to the degree of correlation between each target video in the target video set and the target video keywords. By automatically selecting a target video from the target video set for playback, it is not necessary for the user to manually select a target video and perform playback after obtaining the target video set, which improves the user experience.

Corresponding to the foregoing embodiment of the video search method applied to the external control device of a television, the present application also provides an embodiment of the control device.

As an example, different application buttons are associated with different third-party applications.

As an example, the control device is a remote control of the TV; the application button is newly set on the remote control based on an associated third-party application.

As an example, the application keys newly set on the remote control based on the associated third-party application may be set in a designated area on the remote control.

As an example, the application button is a button that has been set on the remote control. When the button is triggered for the first duration, it serves as an application button and is associated with at least one third-party application; based on this, the processing The module 303 is also configured to: when it is detected that a button on the external control device is triggered, obtain the duration of the button being triggered; if the duration is greater than or equal to the first duration, determine that the button is the target application button .

As an example, the microphone 302 collecting the target voice after the target application button is triggered includes: collecting the voice collected during the process of the target application button being triggered and/or within a set time period after being triggered; the voice to be collected Determined as the target voice.
