Detailed ways

The present invention will be described in further detail below in combination with specific implementation methods and accompanying drawings.

Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 schematically shows a virtual environment architecture according to an embodiment of the present invention. The virtual environment includes a host and several virtual machines running on the host. The operating system running on the host is called The host operating system is used to manage virtual machines and allocate and schedule host resources for virtual machines, such as CPU, memory, and storage. In some virtual environments, the system that performs the functions of the host operating system is called virtual machine monitoring Device, also called Hypervisor. The operating system running on the virtual machine is called a guest operating system. Since the virtual machines are independent of each other, the guest operating systems on the virtual machine can be of various types and do not interfere with each other. In this embodiment, where The guest operating system on a virtual machine is Windows XP, and another virtual machine is equipped with a small operating system, which only includes a browser, a wired Internet access module and a wireless Internet access module. The host is equipped with a TV playing device, such as a TV card. The user can watch TV through the first virtual machine.

In a virtual environment, the host assigns an internal IP address to each virtual machine through NAT port mapping, and the virtual machines share and use the network resources of the host through the assigned IP address. Between the host and the virtual machine or between the virtual machines, the TCP protocol can be used to establish a connection relationship and realize data communication.

Please refer to FIG. 2 . FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of a device for realizing coexistence of television broadcasting and forums in a virtual environment according to the present invention. A first virtual machine 20 and a second virtual machine 30 run on a host 10, the host 10 includes a main display screen 11 and a virtual machine monitor 12, the first virtual machine 20 includes a first display Window 21, a first application program loaded on the first virtual machine 20, in this embodiment, the first application program is a TV module 22, and the second virtual machine 30 includes a second display window 31. A second application program is loaded on the second virtual machine 30. In this embodiment, the second application program is a browser module 32, and the first display window 21 and the second display window The window 31 is used for displaying on the main display screen 11 .

Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 . FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 schematically show the status that the first display window 21 and the second display window 31 are displayed on the main display screen 11 . Generally speaking, the first display window 21 is displayed on the main area of the main display screen 11, and the second display window 31 is displayed on the main display screen 11 with a sign 311, and the user clicks on the sign 311 to expand The second display window 31 occupies about half of the area of the main display screen 11 , which is smaller than the area occupied by the first display window 21 of the main display screen 11 . If the user does not want to view the content of the second display window 31 , he can click the sign 311 to hide the second display window 31 .

Referring to Fig. 5, the preferred embodiment of the present invention realizes the coexistence method of television broadcasting and forums in a virtual environment comprising the following steps:

In step S501, the virtual machine monitor 12 displays the TV program played by the TV module 22 on the first display window 21 after the TV module 22 is turned on by the user;

In step S502, the virtual machine monitor 12 searches for a forum website corresponding to the TV channel from the wired or wireless network according to the TV channel on the TV module 22, for example, what is played is NBA basketball on the CCTV-5 channel Competition, the virtual machine monitor 12 searches the forum website corresponding to the channel according to the CCTV-5 channel;

In step S503, the virtual machine monitor 12 opens the forum webpage corresponding to the forum website in the browser module 32 of the second virtual machine 30, and the number of messages on the forum webpage can be displayed on the mark 311;

In step S504, the virtual machine monitor 12 expands the second display window 31 according to the user's click on the mark 311. At this time, the user can see the content of the forum webpage, for example, the above-mentioned CCTV -The forum website of channel 5, after clicking, the second display window 31 presents the discussion area of the current NBA game in the inside, and the user can check other people's messages for the NBA game being played, and also can input their own opinions. Since the second display window 31 occupies half of the area of the main display screen 11, the user can watch other people's comments or post comments while watching the game.

In the above embodiment, if the user changes the TV channel, the virtual machine monitor 12 updates the corresponding forum web page according to the new TV channel.

For those skilled in the art, other corresponding changes or adjustments can be made according to the inventive solution and inventive concept of the present invention combined with the actual needs of production, and these changes and adjustments should all belong to the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
