The driving mainly comprises: audio drive, display drive, bluetooth drive, camera drive, WIFI drive, USB drive, HDMI drive, sensor drive (e.g., fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), and power supply drive, etc.

The display device 200 generally has only one device module supporting a play function, such as a display module, and the like, and the module can only control a display layer (for example, a display layer) forming an image interface to display video. Since only one display layer is provided in the display device 200, only one video resource can be supported in the display device 200, that is, the display device 200 can only display the video content currently being played, if the user wants to watch other video content at this time, the display device 200 needs to be controlled to exit the current playing page, and then the video content to be watched is selected to be played again.

Based on the above, the embodiments of the present application provide a two-way video resource playing method and a display device 200, which can play one way of video watched by a user, and simultaneously display the recommended video content of the other way on a screen for the user as preview content, so that the user can watch the two-way video, and the viewing experience of the user is ensured.

As in the previous embodiments, the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application has the controller 250. The controller 250 may obtain multiple video resources, and control the display layer and the rendering layer that form the image interface to display one video resource respectively, so as to realize the display of multiple video resources on the display 260.

Fig. 5 illustrates a control flow diagram of controller 250 according to some embodiments.

As shown in fig. 5, the controller 250 of the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application may obtain, according to the requirement of viewing by the user, a target video resource that the user wants to view. And, the recommended video asset associated with the target video asset is obtained at the same time as the target video asset is obtained, for example, the target video asset is the second set of a certain television series XX, then the recommended video asset associated with the target video asset may be the first set, the third set, the fourth set, and so on of the television series XX.

The controller 250 may then divide at least one video preview area presented in the form of a small window on the image interface displayed on the display 260. FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic diagram of an image interface including a video preview area on the image interface, as shown in FIG. 6, and the video preview area may be divided into small window formations to avoid obscuring the content of a full screen display, in accordance with some embodiments. And displaying a video resource corresponding to the video preview area, wherein the video resource can be a target video resource or a recommended video resource.

The video preview area is divided, and the controller 250 further controls the display layer to display the target video asset and output the audio content of the target video asset, while controlling the rendering layer to display only the recommended video asset. Because the video preview area can display the target video resource and the recommended video resource, the content of the video preview area can be displayed by the display layer or the rendering layer, and the content can be controlled according to the actual requirement of a user, for example, the display layer is controlled to display the target video resource in a full screen mode and play corresponding audio content, and the rendering layer is controlled to display the recommended video resource in the video preview area, or the display layer is controlled to display the target video resource in the video preview area and play corresponding audio content, and the rendering layer is controlled to display the recommended video resource in a full screen mode. In either case, the video assets displayed within the video preview area are typically superimposed over the full-screen played video assets.

When the target video asset and the recommended video asset are displayed on the image interface at the same time, in order to avoid the mutual influence of the audio in the two video assets, the recommended video asset, which is usually the preview content, is only displayed with dynamic video content and not with audio content, and the controller 250 only controls the audio output of the target video asset displayed on the display layer, so in the embodiment of the present application, the target video asset is actually displayed, and the recommended video asset can be understood as being displayed.

As shown in fig. 6, one video preview area may be divided on the image interface, but in some cases, if a recommended video asset associated with a target video asset is acquired relatively more, the number of video preview areas may be increased appropriately.

FIG. 7 illustrates a second schematic diagram of an image interface on which multiple video preview areas, e.g., 3, may be divided, as shown in FIG. 7, according to some embodiments. At this point, each video preview area may still display both the target video asset and the recommended video asset. Likewise, the content displayed in the video preview area may be displayed in a display layer or in a rendering layer, and may specifically be controlled according to the actual requirement of the user.

However, the display layer cannot be modified, and the rendering layer (OSD layer) can be edited or modified, so that only one video resource can be displayed on the display layer, and multiple recommended video resources can be displayed on the rendering layer at the same time. On the image interface as shown in fig. 7, the controller 250 may control the display layer to display the target video asset in full screen and output the audio of the target video asset, and simultaneously control the rendering layer to display the recommended video asset in each of the 3 video preview areas, or the controller 250 may control the display layer to display the target video asset in one video preview area and output the audio of the target video asset, and simultaneously control the rendering layer to display the recommended video asset in full screen and display other recommended video assets in the remaining 2 video preview areas. Also, in either case, the video assets displayed within the video preview area are typically superimposed over the video assets that are played full screen.

As can be seen, the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application may display one path of video resource on the display layer, and simultaneously display another path of video resource on the rendering layer, where the other video resource may be recommended content associated with the target video resource on the display layer. And, the image interface of the display device 200 is further provided with a video preview area, and the video preview area does not obstruct the content of the full-screen video resource. Thus, the user can watch the two-way video resource on the display device 200 at the same time, thereby meeting the requirement of previewing other video contents when watching the current video and further ensuring the watching experience of the user.

In some embodiments, the target video resource may be a video signal requested by the controller 250 from the cloud server, and the server may also carry some related recommended video resources while sending back the target video resource.

In some embodiments, the video preview area is typically hidden when the user is watching the target video asset normally, i.e., the target video asset is played full screen without the video preview area superimposed thereon. When the user wants to watch the recommended video asset, the video preview area can be evoked by inputting a preview instruction or the like to the display device 200; and when the user no longer needs to view the video preview area, an exit instruction or the like may be input again to the display device 200, hiding the video preview area again.

Fig. 8 illustrates a second control flow diagram of controller 250 according to some embodiments.

As in the previous embodiments, the target video asset may be displayed either full screen or in the video preview area. Then, in the case that the controller 250 controls the display layer to display the target video asset full screen and controls the audio output of the target video asset, the controller 250 also needs to control the rendering layer to display the recommended video asset in the video preview area, and typically, how many video preview areas can display how many recommended video assets. And, while displaying the video preview area, the user may use the position of the focus selection box on the control display 260 to select recommended video assets in the target video preview area for viewing.

Thus, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the controller 250 also needs to detect the position of the focus selection frame, and in the case that the focus selection frame is not positioned in any video preview area, control the rendering layer to display only the still image content of a certain frame in each recommended video asset in all video preview areas, that is, control all recommended video assets to be in a still state.

Or, in the case that the focus selection frame is positioned in the video preview area, that is, the target video preview area is selected, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display only the dynamic video content of the recommended video assets in the target video preview area without outputting the audio content, and at the same time, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display still image content of a certain frame of each recommended video asset in other video preview areas, that is, only the recommended video assets in the selected target video preview area are dynamically played, and the recommended video assets in the other video preview areas are still in a still state.

It can be seen that, in the control flow shown in fig. 8, in order not to interfere with the user's viewing of the display content in the target video preview area, the controller 250 needs to control the content in the other video preview area to be still, so that only the selected content is dynamically played, and the user can also more intuitively and conveniently see the selected recommended video resource, so that the user's viewing experience is also ensured to a certain extent. Wherein the content displayed at rest may be a still image of a frame in the video asset.

For the case described in the above embodiment, only when the user moves the focus selection frame to the target video preview area, the dynamic video content of the recommended video asset is displayed in the target video preview area without outputting the audio content. In some embodiments, when the user inputs the confirmation instruction to the display device 200 after moving the focus selection frame, the user may consider that the user needs to watch the recommended video resource in the target video preview area in a full screen manner, and at this time, the controller 250 controls the recommended video resource in the target video preview area to be displayed in a full screen manner, and outputs the corresponding audio content. And at this time, the recommended video resource may be displayed full screen, which may be a display layer or a rendering layer.

For example, the display layer is currently playing the content of a first set of television drama YYY full-screen, while the video preview area displays the associated still images of the second, third and fourth sets, respectively. When the user controls the focus selection frame to move to the video preview area of the third set, the dynamic video content of the third set is displayed in the video preview area without outputting the corresponding audio content, and still images are displayed in the video preview areas of the second set and the fourth set. When the user enters and exits the confirmation instruction at the third set, the video content of the third set is displayed on the display 260 in full screen while the corresponding audio content is played.

As in the previous embodiments, after the user selects the target video preview area and confirms, the controller 250 may control the display layer to display the recommended video resources in the target video preview area in a full screen manner, or may control the rendering layer to display the recommended video resources in the target video preview area in a full screen manner. Meanwhile, on the basis of the recommended video resources played in a full screen mode, the user can further call out the video preview area to display other recommended video resources. And, the recommended video resource is displayed in full screen and the corresponding audio content is output.

Fig. 9 illustrates a third control flow diagram of controller 250 according to some embodiments.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9, the controller 250 may continue to control the display layer to display the recommended video assets in the target video preview area full screen and output the corresponding audio content. Then at this time, the recommended video asset to be displayed may be regarded as the target video asset described in the foregoing embodiment, and the remaining video assets including the target video asset in the foregoing embodiment are regarded as recommended video assets, and the controller 250 continues to control the rendering layer to display the recommended video asset in the current video preview area.

For example, FIG. 10 illustrates a display schematic of a video asset according to some embodiments. As shown in fig. 10, when the user selects and confirms the video content of the third set of the tv series YYY in the target video preview area, the controller 250 controls the display layer to display the dynamic video content of the third set in full screen, and simultaneously outputs the corresponding audio content. When the user selects to view the preview content again, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display the video assets of the remaining first, second and fourth sets in each video preview area, and determines in which video preview area only the dynamic content of the video assets is displayed by the rendering layer according to the position of the focus selection frame. Wherein video content of the first set of previous recommended video assets is the current target video asset and video content of the third set of previous target video assets is the current recommended video asset.

Fig. 11 illustrates a fourth control flow diagram of controller 250 according to some embodiments.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 11, the controller 250 may also continue to control the rendering layer to display the recommended video assets in the target video preview area full screen and output the corresponding audio content. Because the display layer can only play one video asset at a time, the controller 250 will continue to control the display layer to display one recommended video asset in one video preview area, and continue to control the rendering layer to display other recommended video assets in other video preview areas. Also, it should be noted that only the recommended video assets displayed in the display layer are dynamic video content, while the recommended video assets in the other video preview areas displayed by the rendering layer are just still images of a certain frame.

In addition, in the case that the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to play the recommended video resources in the target video preview area in a full screen manner and output the corresponding audio, the controller 250 controls which video resource in the video preview area is displayed by the display layer according to the position of the focus selection frame controlled by the user, and the rest of video preview areas not positioned by the focus selection frame are displayed by the rendering layer.

For example, FIG. 12 illustrates a second display schematic of a video asset according to some embodiments. As shown in fig. 12, when the user selects and confirms the video content of the third set of the tv series YYY in the target video preview area, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display the video content of the third set in full screen, and simultaneously outputs the corresponding audio content. When the user selects to view the preview content again, if the focus selection frame is positioned to the second video preview area, the controller 250 controls the display layer to display the dynamic video content of the second set in the second video preview area without outputting the corresponding audio content thereof; at the same time, the controller 250 continues to control the rendering layer to display still images of the first set in the first video preview area and to display still images of the fourth set in the third video preview area. Wherein video content of the first set of previous recommended video assets is the current target video asset and video content of the third set of previous target video assets is the current recommended video asset.

From the foregoing, it can be seen that a full-screen video asset can be displayed by either a display layer or a rendering layer, and a target video asset can also be switched between the display layer and the rendering layer. In either case, two paths of dynamic video resources can be played on the display device 200 at the same time, and the two paths of video play are not affected by each other, so that the watching requirement of a user can be met.

FIG. 13 illustrates a third schematic view of an image interface, according to some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the display layer may also directly display the target video resource obtained by the controller 250 in a video preview area and output corresponding audio content at the same time, where the controller 250 may control the rendering layer to display the dynamic video content of a recommended video resource in full screen without outputting the audio content according to the requirement of the user or the preset condition of the display device 200. In this case, a video asset whose display layer is displayed in a certain video preview area may be regarded as a target video asset, and video assets in other video preview areas as well as video assets displayed in full screen may be regarded as recommended video assets. It can be seen that two paths of dynamic video contents can be simultaneously displayed on the display device 200 at this time.

For example, as shown in fig. 13, when the user wants to watch the movie "XXXX", the video asset acquired by the controller 250 regarding the movie "XXXX" may include a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, a fourth portion, and so on of the movie "XXXX". If the controller 250 controls the display layer to display the dynamic video content and the output corresponding audio content of the first portion of the movie "XXXX" in the first video preview area, the first portion is the target video resource, and the other second portion, the third portion, and the fourth portion are the recommended video resources. The controller 250 may control the rendering layer to display the dynamic video content of the second portion full-screen without outputting the audio content, and simultaneously control the rendering layer to display only the still image content of a certain frame in the third portion video and the still image content of a certain frame in the fourth portion video in the second and third video preview areas, respectively. At this time, the display device 200 may display the first video content of the movie "XXXX" and simultaneously display the second video content, so as to meet the requirement of the user for previewing the second video content in advance.

Fig. 14 illustrates a fifth control flow diagram of controller 250 according to some embodiments.

In the above embodiment, which video preview area displays the target video asset may be determined according to the position of the focus selection frame controlled by the user. Further, as shown in fig. 14, the controller 250 needs to detect the position of the focus selection frame on the display 260 in the case where the rendering layer displays only the dynamic video content of one recommended video asset full-screen without outputting the audio content. And when the focus selection frame is positioned in a certain video preview area, determining the video preview area as a target video preview area, and controlling the display layer to display the dynamic video content of the corresponding video resource and the corresponding audio output in the target video preview area, wherein the video resource displayed in the target video preview area is the target video resource.

At the same time, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to continue displaying still image content of a frame in other recommended video assets in other non-located video preview areas. And, the target video asset and other recommended video assets displayed in the above embodiments are all displayed superimposed on the recommended video asset displayed in full screen, as shown in fig. 13.

In some embodiments, when the user inputs a confirmation instruction to the display device 200 after moving the focus selection frame, the user may consider that the user needs to watch the target video resource in the current target video preview area, and the controller 250 may control the target video resource in the target video preview area to be displayed in full screen and output the corresponding audio content. At this time, the target video resource may be displayed full screen, and may be a display layer or a rendering layer.

Also, in some embodiments, the user may continue to call out the video preview area to display other recommended video assets over the target video asset displayed full screen.

If the controller 250 continues to control the display layer to display the target video asset in the target video preview area in full screen, then the controller 250 needs to continue to control the rendering layer to display the recommended video asset in the current video preview area when the user needs to preview the video content again.

For example, fig. 15 illustrates a third display schematic of a video asset according to some embodiments. As shown in fig. 15, when the user selects the first part of the movie "XXXX" in the video preview area by locating the focus selection frame and confirming, the controller 250 may control the display layer to display the target video asset full screen and output the corresponding audio content, and when the user needs to watch the video preview area again, control the rendering layer to display the still images of the second part, the third part and the fourth part in each video preview area, and determine in which video preview area only the dynamic content of the video asset is displayed by the rendering layer according to the location of the focus selection frame.

Or, if the controller 250 continues to control the rendering layer to display the target video assets in the target video preview area in full screen and output the corresponding audio content, when the user needs to preview the video content again, since the display layer can only play one video asset at a time, the controller 250 will control the display layer to display one recommended video asset in one video preview area without outputting the corresponding audio content, and continue to control the rendering layer to display other recommended video assets in other video preview areas. Likewise, only the recommended video assets displayed in the display layer are dynamic video content, while the recommended video assets in the other video preview areas displayed by the rendering layer are just still images of a certain frame.

In addition, in the case that the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display the recommended video resources in the target video preview area in a full screen manner, the controller 250 controls which video preview area displays the dynamic content of the video resources according to the position of the focus selection frame controlled by the user, and the rest of the video preview areas not positioned by the focus selection frame display the still image by the rendering layer.

For example, fig. 16 illustrates a fourth display schematic of a video asset according to some embodiments. As shown in fig. 16, after the user selects the first part of the movie "XXXX" in the video preview area by locating the focus selection frame and confirming, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display the target video resource full screen and output the corresponding audio content, and when the user needs to watch the video preview area again, if the location of the focus selection frame is in the first video preview area, the controller 250 controls the display layer to display the dynamic video content of the second part of the movie "XXXX" in the first video preview area without outputting the audio content, and at the same time, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display the static images of the third part and the fourth part in the second and third video preview areas, respectively.

Whether the controller 250 controls the display layer to display the target video resource selected by the user and output the corresponding audio content in a full screen manner, or controls the rendering layer to display the target video resource and output the corresponding audio content in a full screen manner, when the user calls out the video preview area again, the display method of the recommended video resource can refer to the content in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be described herein.

Therefore, in the case that the rendering layer directly displays the recommended video resource acquired by the controller 250 in full screen, the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application can also achieve the purpose of simultaneously playing two paths of dynamic video resources, and the playing of the two paths of videos is not affected, so that the viewing requirement of the user can be met.

FIG. 17 illustrates a fourth schematic diagram of an image interface, according to some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the controller 250, upon requesting the target video asset from the server, the server will send the target video asset, the recommended video asset, and a recommended image of the target video asset, such as a poster image, etc., to the controller 250 together. In this case, the controller 250 may control the rendering layer to display the recommended image full-screen, and control the display layer to display the target video asset in one video preview area and control the corresponding audio output, while controlling the rendering layer to continue to display the recommended video asset in the other video preview area. Likewise, the target video asset and the recommended video asset displayed on the image interface are all displayed superimposed on the recommended image.

For example, as shown in fig. 17, when the user wants to watch program AA, the video resource acquired by the controller 250 about program AA may include the first, second, third, and program poster of program AA. The controller 250 may control the rendering layer to display the poster image of the program "AA" in full screen, and if the controller 250 controls the display layer to display the dynamic video content and the output corresponding audio content of the first period of the program "AA" in the first video preview area, the first period is the target video resource, and the other second period and the third period are the recommended video resource, which are also displayed by the rendering layer.

In addition, the controller 250 controls which video asset in the video preview area is specifically displayed by the display layer according to the position of the focus selection frame controlled by the user, the video asset displayed by the display layer may be regarded as a target video asset, and the video asset displayed by the rendering layer may be regarded as a recommended video asset. Likewise, only the target video asset displayed by the display layer may be output with audio content while displayed, while the recommended video asset may only display silent still or moving images by the rendering layer.

Fig. 18 illustrates a sixth control flow diagram for controller 250 according to some embodiments.

In some embodiments, where the rendering layer displays the recommended image full screen, as shown in fig. 18, the controller 250 also needs to detect the location of the focus selection frame on the display; when the focus selection frame is positioned in a certain video preview area, the video preview area is determined to be a target video preview area, then the controller 250 controls the display layer to display the dynamic video content of the video resource in the target video preview area and output the corresponding audio content, and at the same time, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display only the dynamic video content of the corresponding recommended video resource but not the audio content of the corresponding recommended video resource in the next video preview area of the target video preview area, and controls the rendering layer to continue to display only the still image content of a certain frame in the corresponding recommended video resource in other video preview areas.

For example, FIG. 19 illustrates a fifth display schematic of a video asset according to some embodiments. As shown in fig. 19, when the user controls the focus selection frame to move to the first video preview area, the first-period video content of the program AA is the target video resource, and the controller 250 needs to control the display layer to display the first-period dynamic video content in the video preview area and output the corresponding audio content; meanwhile, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display only the dynamic video content of the second period in the second video preview region without outputting the corresponding audio content, and the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to continue to display the still image of the third period video in the third video preview region. Then, if the user controls the focus selection frame to move to the second video preview area, the second-period video content of the program AA is the target video resource, and the controller 250 needs to control the display layer to display the second-period dynamic video content in the second video preview area and output the corresponding audio content; meanwhile, the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to display only the dynamic video content of the third period in the third video preview area without outputting the audio content, and the controller 250 controls the rendering layer to continue to display the still image of the first period video in the first video preview area.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may also detect whether a confirmation instruction is input by the user in the case where the focus selection frame is positioned to the target video preview area; and under the condition that the user inputs a confirmation instruction, controlling the rendering layer or the display layer to display the dynamic video content of the target video resource in the target video preview area in a full screen mode and outputting corresponding audio content. And, the manner of controlling the rendering layer to display the target video resource in a full screen manner or controlling the display layer to display the target video resource in a full screen manner may refer to the content in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein again.

Therefore, in the case that the rendering layer directly displays the recommended image acquired by the controller 250 in full screen, the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application can also achieve the purpose of simultaneously playing two paths of dynamic video resources, and the playing of the two paths of videos is not affected, so that the viewing requirement of the user can be met.

In addition, in some embodiments, since the screen space of the display 260 is limited in size, the number of video preview areas that can be displayed is also limited, and when the size of the video preview area is set to be large, fewer video preview areas may be set, and when the size of the video preview area is set to be small, more video preview areas may be set. The number of video preview areas displayed on the image interface as exemplified in the foregoing embodiments is merely an example, and in actual practice, the number of video preview areas may be set according to the specific needs of the user.

Also, in some embodiments, the controller 250 may only acquire the target video resources that the user wants to watch, but not acquire the associated recommended video resources, and at this time, the controller 250 may prompt the user that there is no recommended content currently when the user calls out the video preview area, and so on.

Fig. 20 illustrates one schematic view of a video preview region according to some embodiments, and fig. 21 illustrates a second schematic view of a video preview region according to some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the transparency of the area where all the video preview areas are located may be adjustable, as shown in fig. 20, all the areas within the dashed box may be regarded as the area where the video preview areas are located, and the transparency of the area other than the video preview area for displaying the video resource within the dashed box may be set to 0%, as shown in fig. 20, when the dashed box completely obscures the content of the lower full screen display. As shown in fig. 21, the transparency of the area other than the video preview area in the dashed box may be set to be 0-100%, so that the area other than the video preview area in the dashed box does not completely block the content of the lower full screen display. In practice, the transparency of the region in the video preview region may be set to other values according to the user's needs.

Fig. 22 illustrates a schematic diagram of the location of a video preview zone in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 22, the video preview area may also be displayed in a vertical arrangement on the left side of the image interface without obscuring the major portion of the full screen display content, see specifically (a) in fig. 22; or a vertical arrangement is shown on the right side of the image interface, see in particular fig. 22 (b); or in a lateral arrangement at the upper part of the image interface, see in particular fig. 22 (c). The case where the video preview area on the image interface is located at the bottom of the image interface as exemplified in the foregoing embodiment is merely an example, and the position of the video preview area may be set according to the specific needs of the user in actual cases.

In addition, it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the rendering layer, i.e. the OSD layer, may include several sub-layers, such as OSD1, OSD2, OSD3, etc., so that the controller 250 may control the rendering layer to display the full-screen content and display the content in several video preview regions simultaneously.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application may display one path of video watched by the user, and simultaneously display the recommended video content of the other path on the screen for the user as the preview content, so that the user can watch the two paths of videos. The video resource image interface displayed in the display device 200 may include a rendering layer and a display layer that are overlapped with each other, and since the display layer can only play one video, the rendering layer is controlled to play another video resource, so that the content played by the two-way video resource can be presented on the image interface, and the purpose of playing the two-way video resource on the display device 200 is also achieved. Visible. The user can watch two normally played video contents on the display device 200 at the same time, so that the viewing experience of the user is ensured.
