Description

Application grouping display method, device and display device

Technical Field

The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of display devices, and in particular, to a method, apparatus and display device for displaying application groups.

Background technique

Some display devices, such as advertising display screens, conference tablets, touch-screen all-in-ones, smart TVs, and commercial displays, usually have multiple display modes, which include signal sources and working modes. Among them, the signal source is used to connect a specified type of video signal externally, which can be at least one of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), AV (Composite Video Interface), VGA (Video Graphics Array), DVI (Digital Visual Interface), DP (DisplayPort), Type-C, digital TV, and broadcast TV. The working mode refers to the scene mode set by the display device for different application scenarios, which can be at least one of office mode, exhibition mode, business mode, entertainment mode, and children's mode.

Each display mode (signal source/mode) corresponds to different application scenarios and occupies different device resources. Therefore, corresponding applications are usually developed for each display mode. There is a corresponding relationship between the application and the display mode. Usually, the application can work and be used normally in the corresponding display mode. In the incompatible display mode, problems such as failure to start, device resource conflicts, program errors, black screen, and inability to connect to the Internet may occur.

In view of this, the relevant technology provides an application grouping display method, which has a built-in application classification list before the display device leaves the factory. The application classification list records the application information that should be displayed in each display mode. When the display device switches to a certain display mode, it is controlled according to the records in the application classification list to only display the applications belonging to the current display mode.

However, this built-in application classification list method can only manage pre-installed applications in groups, and cannot dynamically manage applications installed by users after the display device leaves the factory. Therefore, it may still cause applications that do not belong to the current display mode to be displayed, which has great limitations and affects the user experience.

Detailed ways

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the embodiments of the present application belong. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the embodiments of the present application do not represent any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. "Including" or "comprising" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing in front of the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

Some display devices, such as advertising display screens, conference tablets, touch-screen all-in-ones, smart TVs, and commercial displays, usually have multiple display modes, which include signal sources and working modes. The signal source is used to connect to a specified type of video signal, which can be at least one of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), AV (Composite Video Interface), VGA (Video Graphics Array), DVI (Digital Visual Interface), DP (DisplayPort), Type-C, digital TV, and broadcast TV.

In order to improve the compatibility of the external signal source of the display device, the display device can be set with multiple types of signal sources; in addition, for signal sources with higher application frequency, multiple signal sources of the same type can be set. For example, in this embodiment, the display device includes HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, AV, VGA, digital TV and broadcast TV, a total of 7 signal sources.

The working mode refers to the theme scene mode set by the display device for different application scenarios, and each working mode includes the corresponding display theme and display content. For example, in this embodiment, the display device includes 5 working modes: office mode, exhibition mode, business mode, entertainment mode and children mode.

Among them, the office mode is used for users' office use, displaying commonly used office software, etc.; the exhibition mode is used for content display, full-screen loop display of specified file content; the business mode is for users to launch specified business applications, such as the letter sending application. The entertainment mode is suitable for entertainment scenarios, displaying applications such as videos, music and games, and facilitating users to watch movies, listen to music, play games and other entertainment activities; the children's mode is suitable for scenarios used by children, displaying content suitable for children to use and operate.

In this article, the signal source and display mode are collectively referred to as display mode, that is, the display mode can be both a signal source and an operating mode. The display device is an intelligent device based on an operating system, and the operation and switching of different display modes are controlled by the operating system. The operating system can be an Android system, a Windows system, or a dual system of Android and Windows.

It can be seen from the above description that each display mode (signal source/mode) corresponds to a different application scenario. The operating system of the display device has developed corresponding applications for each display mode. The applications correspond to the display modes. Usually, the applications can work and be used normally in the corresponding display modes. In non-corresponding display modes, problems such as failure to start, device resource conflicts, program errors, black screens, and inability to connect to the Internet may occur. In addition, some debugging applications that debug the display device before leaving the factory may also encounter problems such as device resource conflicts, errors, and black screens when they are started by the user after the display device leaves the factory. There are also some applications that are started based on the display mode switching process. When the application is started again after switching to the corresponding display mode, problems such as device resource conflicts, errors, and black screens may also occur.

For example, a player is required in both the HDMI1 signal source and business model scenarios. If an application designed for the HDMI1 signal source is started in the business model, a black screen will be caused due to the player being preempted.

For another example, both the digital TV signal source and the broadcast TV signal source have digital TV functions, but there are some differences between the two digital TV functions. If the broadcast TV signal source application is run under the digital TV signal source, the device resources that have been initialized by the digital TV signal source may be reinitialized by the broadcast TV signal source application, resulting in a hardware status error of the digital TV signal source.

For another example, in entertainment mode, some applications such as iQiyi and Cloud Video are for private networks, while applications in other display modes are for public networks. If you start applications designed for private networks in the display mode for public networks, even if these applications can run, they will not be able to obtain data and will not work properly because they do not have the support of the radio and television front-end server.

For example, switching to the commercial mode actually starts the Xinfa application, switching to the office mode starts the main launcher application, and switching to the signal source such as HDMI starts the signal source application. These applications are already running when the display mode is switched. If you continue to start them in the application list, a resource conflict error will be reported. For example, start the Xinfa application in the commercial mode, start the main launcher application in the office mode, and start the signal source application in the signal source mode.

It can be seen from the above description that there is a corresponding relationship between applications and display modes. Usually, applications can work and be used normally in corresponding display modes. In non-corresponding display modes, problems such as failure to start, device resource conflicts, program errors, black screens, and inability to connect to the Internet may occur. In order to avoid the above problems, the display device needs to control the current display mode and only display applications corresponding to the display mode, so that the applications can work and be used normally in the corresponding display mode, that is, control the application group display.

In order to realize the grouped display of applications, some related technologies have built-in application classification lists before the display device leaves the factory. The application classification list records the application information that should be displayed in each display mode. According to the records in the application classification list, the display device is controlled to only display the applications belonging to the current display mode when switching to a certain display mode. However, this method of built-in application classification list can only manage pre-installed applications in groups, and cannot dynamically manage the applications installed by users on the display device after leaving the factory. Therefore, it may still cause the display of applications that do not belong to the display mode in the current display mode, affecting the user experience and having great limitations.

In addition, some related technologies perform group management by parsing the information files of applications. However, there are many application providers and it is impossible to unify the expression fields in the information files. Parsing the information files also cannot achieve better group management, which has great limitations.

For example, for the Android system, some related technologies manage applications in groups by parsing the AndroidManifest.xml file of each application. However, since there are often many application providers, it is difficult to unify the expression fields.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an application grouping display method, in which application grouping display method is provided, and application association information is generated according to the user's selection regarding the correspondence between the application and the display mode during the application installation process, and is used to record the correspondence information between the application and the display mode. Therefore, when displaying a certain display mode, the applications belonging to the display mode can be screened out according to the application association information, and then the screened applications are made visible to the user, and other applications are hidden from the user, thereby avoiding the problem of displaying applications that do not belong to the display mode. In addition, the application association information is generated according to the user's selection regarding the correspondence between the application and the display mode during the application installation process, and therefore is applicable to both pre-installed applications and post-installed applications, facilitating dynamic grouping management of applications.

In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

The embodiment of the present application provides an application grouping display method, which is applied to a display system having at least two display modes and at least two application programs. As shown in FIG1 , the application grouping display method includes the following steps:

Step S100: Acquire target display mode and application-related information.

The target display mode is the display mode that needs to be displayed, and can be any one of the display modes listed above.

Application association information is used to record the correspondence between applications and display modes. Applications can correspond to only one display mode, multiple display modes, or no display mode. For example, for file management applications, they can be allowed to be displayed in all display modes, that is, file management applications correspond to multiple display modes. For document editing applications, they can be displayed in office mode, that is, document editing applications only correspond to office mode; debugging applications used for system debugging before leaving the factory, and applications started during the display mode switching process, are not displayed in any display mode, that is, this type of application does not correspond to any display mode.

The application-related information is generated during the application installation process according to the user's selection of the correspondence between the application and the display mode. During the installation process, the application provides the user with an option menu, which includes the display mode in the display device. FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a display mode option menu provided in an embodiment of the present application; the user selects 0, 1, or more than 2 display modes corresponding to the installed application. Based on the user's selection of the display mode, the application-related information is generated.

The applications in the display device include pre-installed applications and post-installed applications. Pre-installed applications are built into the display device before leaving the factory for the normal operation of the display device and the use of users. Post-installed applications are applications installed by users to expand the functions of the display device. The application association information of the pre-installed applications can be stored in the display device during the application installation process after editing; or the application association information can be manually selected one by one during the application installation process.

The application association information of the post-installed application is generated when the application is installed based on the corresponding information between the application and the display mode selected by the user.

Step S200: Filter out application programs corresponding to the target display mode from the application-related information.

After the target display mode is obtained, the application program corresponding to the display mode can be filtered in the application association information based on the display mode.

Step S300: When the target display mode is displayed, set the corresponding filtered applications to be visible to the user.

When the target display mode is displayed, all the applications corresponding to the target display mode filtered out in step S200 are set to be visible to the user.

It should be noted that what is visible to the user here can be directly displayed in the display area of the display device, or it can be not directly displayed most of the time but in a hidden state and become visible to the user through specified operations, such as pressing the menu button on the remote control to pop up a menu containing a list of applications, and the user can operate the visible applications.

For example, for office mode, children's mode, etc., the corresponding applications can be directly displayed in the display area of the display device. In the digital TV signal source, its main function is to play digital TV, and the display area of the display device is the playback window of the digital TV, so other applications are usually hidden, such as screenshots, screen recording and other applications; however, the user can call up a menu containing a list of applications by operating the remote control, and then find the relevant application in the menu, and start the application to realize the specified function.

It can be known from the above description that in the application grouping display method provided in the embodiment of the present application, application association information is provided in the application grouping display method. The application association information is generated according to the user's selection of the correspondence between the application and the display mode during the application installation process, and is used to record the correspondence information between the application and the display mode. Therefore, when displaying a certain display mode, the applications belonging to the display mode can be screened out according to the application association information, and then the screened applications are made visible to the user, and other applications are hidden from the user, thereby avoiding the problem of displaying applications that do not belong to the display mode. In addition, the application association information is generated according to the user's selection of the correspondence between the application and the display mode during the application installation process, and therefore is applicable to both pre-installed applications and post-installed applications, facilitating the dynamic grouping management of applications and helping to improve user experience.

In some embodiments, the application-related information includes first information related to the display mode and second information related to the application program, wherein the first information includes a mode name (sourcename) and a mode identity (sourceid) corresponding to the display mode.

Table 1 is a display mode ID table provided in an embodiment of the present application;

Table 1

During the installation of the application, a display mode option menu as shown in FIG. 2 will pop up for the user to select, in which options including display modes are displayed, and the user selects the corresponding display mode according to the actual situation. After the selection is completed, the first information including the mode name and the mode identity number can be generated according to the selection result.

For example, when the user selects "office mode", the first information includes: sourceid=1, sourcename=office mode.

The second information related to the application is obtained by parsing the application installation package of the application. The application installation package of the application includes a file for describing the basic information of the application. Therefore, during the installation process of the application, the second information can be obtained by parsing the application installation package of the application. The second information includes an application identity identification number (appid), an application name (appname), an application installation package name (packagename) and version information (version).

An installation record is generated based on the first information and the second information that have been obtained. The installation record corresponds to each installation process of the application. All installation records in the display device are collectively referred to as application-related information. Each installation record can be stored separately in a specified location of the display device, or all installation records can be stored in a file specified by the operating system, such as an XML file or a JSON file. In other words, the application-related information can be multiple files or one file.

In this embodiment, an installation information table for storing application-related information is created, and when an installation record is generated, the installation record is added to the installation information table.

Table 2 is an example of an installation information table provided in an embodiment of the present application:

Table 2

Finally, after obtaining the installation record, the installation record is updated to the installation information table.

It can be known from the description of the installation record and the application association information that the display mode to which an application belongs can be confirmed through a record of the application association information, and the installation record is generated during the installation process of the application.

In some application scenarios, updating the installation record to the installation information table means that the newer installation record corresponding to the same application can replace the older installation record, so that in the application-related information, there is always only one installation record corresponding to the application. In other application scenarios, updating the installation record to the installation information table means that each installation record generated is stored, and the previous installation records are not operated. In this way, there may be multiple installation records corresponding to the application in the application-related information. When screening, the installation record of the same application should select the latest one or the one with the highest version number.

For version updates of existing applications, you can configure to repeat the above steps to generate a new installation record, or you can configure to continue to use the existing installation record without repeating the above steps.

Corresponding to the above embodiment, the generation of the installation record includes:

When installing the application, obtain the application installation package;

Displays an options menu including display modes;

In response to a user's selection of a display mode, generating first information including the display mode;

Parsing the application installation package to obtain second information including application information;

An installation record is formed including the first information and the second information.

In a possible implementation, step S200 may include:

Get the mode identification number of the target display mode;

Parse the application association information and filter the application corresponding to the mode identity number.

According to the foregoing description, the display device is a smart device based on an operating system, wherein the operating system may be an Android system, a Windows system, or a dual system of Android and Windows.

Taking the Android system as an example, FIG3 is a flowchart of application installation in the Android system in the related art. As shown in FIG3, application installation in the Android system can be implemented in the following four ways: PackageManagerService installation, application store installation, ADB installation, and PackageInstaller.apk installation. Since the ADB installation method cannot update the configuration file, the Android system cannot implement group management of applications by setting the configuration file.

FIG4 is a flowchart of the installation of an Android system application provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG4, in the embodiment of the present application, the process of generating an installation record is located before the actual installation of the application, and the installation of the application is improved through the installation record, thereby achieving the purpose of application classification. Accordingly, the installation process of the application corresponding to the application grouping display method includes: obtaining an application installation package; generating the installation record; and executing the installation step.

In a possible implementation, the installation information table is stored in the database of the Android system, and the installation information table is processed using the ContentProvider component in the Android system. ContentProvider is an important component in the Android system, used for data sharing between different applications. ContentProvider uses URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) to identify the data to be accessed, and implements operations on shared data through the add, delete, modify, and query methods of ContentResolver; it can also monitor data by registering ContentObserver.

In the above-mentioned display device with multiple display modes, each display mode occupies different device resources, but the device resources between different display modes may be partially the same. Therefore, when switching between display modes quickly, different display modes will occupy device resources and produce a black screen, resulting in a poor user experience.

For example, a player is required in both HDMI1 signal source and business model scenarios. When switching between HDMI1 signal source and business model quickly, the player resources may be occupied. Therefore, the implementation of application grouping must ensure the reasonable allocation of resources.

In view of this, in the application grouping display method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a resource management method is also provided, in which only one application is allowed to operate on a certain resource at the same time, thereby ensuring that resources are mutually exclusive when the display mode is switched quickly, and ensuring that the display device will not have black screen or other crash problems due to resource preemption.

In a possible implementation manner, the application group display method further includes:

When an application needs to use a target resource, it sends a request to the resource management queue;

Allocate target resources to applications in sequence according to the order in the resource management queue.

After adopting the above method, the applications in each display mode no longer use resources directly, but send resource requests to the resource management queue when they need to use the target resources. Then the resource manager process will query the queue status of the resource management queue in real time, and allocate the target resources to the corresponding applications according to the application sorting of different target resources in the resource management queue, ensuring that only one application is allowed to operate on a certain resource at the same time, thereby achieving application grouping while ensuring reasonable allocation of resources and avoiding resource grabbing.

FIG5 is a schematic diagram of a resource allocation scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG5 , in an application scenario, the entertainment mode includes applications 1 to 6, the business mode includes applications 7 to 12, and the HDMI1 signal source includes applications 13 to 18.

At a certain moment, the entertainment mode sends a request message for resource A from application 1 to the resource management queue, and sends a request message for resource B from application 2 to the resource management queue; then, the business mode sends a request message for resource B from application 9 to the resource management queue, and sends a request message for resource C from application 10 to the resource management queue; then, the HDMI1 signal source sends a request message for resource A from application 15 to the resource management queue, and sends a request message for resource C from application 16 to the resource management queue.

At this time, the resource management queue is formed according to the request order: application 1 requests resource A, application 2 requests resource B, application 9 requests resource B, application 10 requests resource C, application 15 requests resource A, and application 16 requests resource C. According to the queuing situation in the resource management queue, the resource management allocates resource A to application 1 in the entertainment mode and application 15 in the HDMI1 signal source in sequence; allocates resource B to application 2 in the entertainment mode and application 9 in the business mode in sequence; allocates resource C to application 10 in the business mode and application 16 in the HDMI1 signal source in sequence. In this way, only one application is allowed to operate on a certain resource at the same time, and while realizing application grouping, it also ensures reasonable allocation of resources to avoid the situation of grabbing resources.

It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present application can be performed by a single device, such as a computer or server. The method of this embodiment can also be applied to a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In the case of such a distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only perform one or more steps in the method of the embodiment of the present application, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the described method.

It should be noted that some embodiments of the present application are described above. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recorded in the claims can be performed in an order different from that in the above embodiments and still achieve the desired results. In addition, the processes depicted in the accompanying drawings do not necessarily require the specific order or continuous order shown to achieve the desired results. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are also possible or may be advantageous.
