Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

In related technologies, when a user selects a signal channel and watches a TV program searched based on the signal channel, if the TV program is played abnormally, for example, there is no signal or when switching back and forth between whether there is a signal or not, the user usually waits until The TV show is playing normally. However, due to the unpredictable duration of abnormal TV program playback, when the user does not have the patience to wait, he still needs to manually switch to other signal channels through the remote control, which makes the user experience poor.

In view of the problems in related technologies, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for switching TV programs, including: receiving a video signal of a first TV program through an input interface, and determining the playback status of the first TV program, When the playing state of the TV program is an abnormal playing state, the first TV program is switched to the target TV program, and the screen of the target TV program is displayed. Thereby, it is realized that the normal TV program is switched and played when the TV program is played abnormally, which prevents the user from waiting continuously, and improves the user experience.

The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the signal source menu provided by an embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 1, the user presses the signal button on the digital TV remote control, and the signal source menu is displayed on the TV interface. The signal source menu includes multiple Signal sources, such as: Digital Television (DTV), AV, HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, where the DTV signal source includes at least two signal channels. The signal channels can be, for example, DVB-C channels, DVB-S channels, and DTMB channels .

Among them, any channel in the DTV signal source can search for multiple TV programs. The user can select the corresponding signal channel through the TV remote control according to the needs. When the signal channel is selected, the TV interface will play the search based on the signal channel TV show. Exemplarily, after the DVB-C signal channel is selected, a TV program searched based on the DVB-C signal channel is randomly played, and then the user can switch to the TV program of personal preference through the TV remote control.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for switching TV programs provided by an embodiment of the application. The TV program switching method provided in this embodiment can be executed by a TV program switching device that executes the method. The device can be implemented by software/hardware. In this embodiment, the device can be a display device, such as a digital TV. As shown in FIG. 2, the method for switching TV programs provided by the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

S101. Receive a video signal of a first TV program through an input interface, and determine a playing state of the first TV program.

Among them, the DTV signal source includes at least two signal channels, and the signal channels may be, for example, a DVB-C channel, a DVB-S channel, or a DTMB channel. The first TV program may be any type of TV program searched out based on any signal channel, such as news, entertainment, social education, TV drama, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

The input interface is the interface between the video processor of the display device and the monitor. When the screen of the first TV program is displayed on the monitor, the monitor can periodically send the signal of the displayed screen to the video processor, and the video processor receives the The video signal is compared with the preset video signal to determine the playback status of the first TV channel. The playback status includes normal playback status and abnormal playback status. The normal playback status is used to indicate that the signal of the TV program is normal, and the abnormal playback status is used to indicate that the signal of the TV program is abnormal. Generally, signal abnormality includes at least two conditions: for example, no signal, Switch back and forth between no signal.

Exemplarily, when the first TV program has no signal, the word "No Signal" may be displayed on the TV interface. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the TV interface when there is no signal provided by an embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG. 3, The upper left corner of the TV interface can display the TV channel name of the first TV program, for example, CCTV1, the word "No Signal" is displayed in the middle of the TV interface, and the word "No Signal" can be bold and highlighted. Yes, the wording can also be displayed on a scroll to remind the user that the playing state of the first TV program is abnormal. Of course, the display manner of the word "no signal" includes but is not limited to the above manners, which is not limited in this embodiment.

S102: When the playing state of the first TV program is the abnormal playing state, switch from the first TV program to the target TV program, and display the screen of the target TV program.

Usually, the abnormal playing state of TV programs may be caused by factors such as weather and hardware. In this embodiment, in order to avoid the user's continuous waiting problem in the related technical solutions, when the playback state of the first TV program is abnormal, switch from the first TV program to the target TV program, and display the screen of the target TV program , Where the playback status of the target TV program is the normal playback status.

In some embodiments, the method further includes:

Acquire the duration of the first TV program in the abnormal playing state, and when the duration is greater than the first preset duration, control the video processor to switch from the first TV program to the target TV program, and control the display to display the screen of the target TV program.

Exemplarily, the display device has a built-in timer, and when the first TV program is abnormally played, start timing to obtain the length of time that the first TV program is in the abnormally playing state. Or, according to the length of time that the word "no signal" is continuously displayed on the display device, the length of time is the length of time that the first TV program is in no signal.

Among them, the first preset duration is the critical duration, that is, the duration of the TV program in the abnormal playback state is less than the first preset duration, indicating that the TV program may be only temporarily abnormal and can be recovered; the duration of the TV program in the abnormal playback state is greater than the first preset duration. A preset duration indicates that the TV program cannot be restored in a short period of time.

In this embodiment, when the duration of the first TV program in the abnormal playback state is greater than the first preset duration, it indicates that the first TV program cannot be recovered in a short time, and the first TV program is switched to the target TV program. When the time period during which the first television program is in an abnormal playing state is less than the first preset time period, in order to avoid frequent switching that affects the user experience, the television program is not switched.

In some embodiments, the signal channel corresponding to the target TV program and the signal channel corresponding to the first TV program may be the same, such as DVB-C, or different, for example, the signal channel corresponding to the target TV program is DVB-S, the first TV The signal channel corresponding to the program is DVB-C, as long as the signal of the target TV program is normal, and this embodiment does not limit this.

In addition, the abnormal playback status is used to indicate that the signal of the TV program is abnormal, and the signal abnormality includes at least two situations: no signal, and switching back and forth between whether there is a signal or not. Exemplarily, when the first TV program has no signal, the first preset duration may be, for example, 30s, and when the first TV program is switched between the presence or absence of a signal, the first preset duration may be, for example, 120s, because: The probability of the signal returning to normal when the TV program is switched back and forth between the presence and absence of a signal may be greater than the probability of the signal returning to normal when there is no signal. Therefore, the first preset duration set when the first TV program is switched between the presence and absence of a signal, It may be greater than the first preset duration set when the first television program has no signal. In this embodiment, the specific value of the first preset duration is not limited, and it may be determined according to actual conditions.

The method for switching TV programs provided by this embodiment includes: receiving a video signal of a first TV program through an input interface, and determining the playback status of the first TV program, and when the playback status of the first TV program is an abnormal playback status, from The first TV program is switched to the target TV program, and the screen of the target TV program is displayed. Thereby, it is realized that the normal TV program is switched and played when the TV program is played abnormally, which prevents the user from waiting continuously, and improves the user experience.

S205: If there is a TV program with a normal signal in the target subprogram list, switch the first TV program to a TV program with a normal signal.

First obtain the first TV channel name of the first TV program, the first TV channel name may be CCTV1, for example; then determine whether there is a target subprogram list in the cross program list, where the TV channel name of each TV program in the target subprogram list and The first TV channel name has the same specific field; if there is a target subprogram list in the cross program list, it is further judged whether there is a normal signal TV program in the target subprogram list, and if there is a normal signal TV program in the target program list, then Switch the first TV program to the TV program with normal signal.

Determine whether there are TV programs with normal signals in the target subprogram list, including:

After obtaining the target subprogram list, the digital TV background obtains the playback status of each TV program in the target subprogram list, and the realization process of obtaining the playback status of the TV program is similar to step S11, and will not be repeated here. The normal play state is used to indicate that the signal of the TV program is normal. If there is a TV program with a normal signal, the first TV program is switched to a TV program with a normal signal.

Exemplarily, the first TV program is a TV program in the first program list, the TV channel name of the first TV program is CCTV1, and the target subprogram list includes CCTV1 and CCTV1 HD in the first program list, and the second program The CCTV1 and CCTV1 in the list are high-definition.

Then determine whether there are TV programs with normal signals in CCTV1 HD in the first program list, and CCTV1 and CCTV1 HD in the second program list. If the TV program signals corresponding to CCTV1 and CCTV1 HD in the second program list are normal, then Switch the first TV program to the TV program whose TV channel name is CCTV1 or CCTV1 HD in the second program list.

In some embodiments, step S205 specifically includes the following steps:

S2051. If there is a high-definition TV program among TV programs with normal signals, push a verification notification to the user.

In this embodiment, the TV programs of digital TV include high-definition TV programs and standard-definition TV programs. For example, CCTV1 is standard-definition TV programs, and CCTV1 high-definition means high-definition TV programs. Generally, the picture quality of high-definition TV programs is clearer than that of standard-definition TV programs. , HD is mostly an encrypted charging channel, and user permissions need to be verified.

If there are high-definition television programs in the television programs with normal signals, the verification information is pushed to the user to determine whether the user has the right to watch the high-definition program.

Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the authorization verification interface provided by an embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 5, if there is a high-definition TV program in a normal signal TV program, the authorization verification prompt is pushed to the user, and the authorization verification prompt is used to prompt the user to input watching The account and password of the HD program. Generally, the authorization verification prompt includes at least an account input box and a password input box.

S2052. Obtain verification information input by the user based on the verification notification, where the verification information includes a verification account and a verification password.

S2053. Switch the first TV program to the high-definition TV program according to the verification information.

S2054. If there is no high-definition television program in the television programs with normal signals, switch the first television program to the standard-definition television program.

Specifically, if the verification information input by the user based on the verification notification is correct, that is, the user has the right to watch a high-definition program, the first television program is switched to the high-definition television program. Exemplarily, the first TV program is switched to CCTV1 HD. If the verification information is wrong, then it is switched to CCTV1. Similarly, if CCTV1 HD does not exist in the target TV program with a normal signal, the first TV program is switched to CCTV1.

S206: If the target subprogram list does not exist in the cross program list, switch the first TV program to any program with a normal signal.

In this embodiment, if the target subprogram list does not exist in the cross program list, that is, the cross program list is traversed and no target subprogram list with the same specific field as the TV channel name of each TV program in the first TV program is found, Then switch the first TV program to any program with normal signal, for example: programs in third-party video applications or historically watched programs, where historically watched programs are generally cached locally, and programs in third-party video applications are generally It is obtained through the Internet.

Of course, users can also switch programs that have been watched in history, or switch programs in third-party video applications according to personal preferences. This embodiment does not limit this.

The method for switching TV programs provided in this embodiment includes: performing a program search operation based on a first signal source, obtaining a first program list of the first signal source, and performing a program search operation based on a second signal source to obtain a second signal source According to the second program list of the first program list and the second program list, the cross program list is obtained, and then the first TV channel name of the first TV program is obtained. If there is a target subprogram list in the cross program list, determine the target subprogram Whether there is a TV program with normal signal in the list, if there is a TV program with normal signal in the target subprogram list, switch the first TV program to a TV program with normal signal, if there is no target subprogram list in the cross program list, the first TV program A TV program is switched to any program with a normal signal.

By establishing a cross program list, when the first TV program is abnormal, the target subprogram list corresponding to the first TV program can be obtained according to the cross program list, so as to switch the first TV program to any signal in the target subprogram list.
