Background technique

Multimedia resources, referred to as media resources, include video, audio, images, etc. that can be played on user terminals. A multimedia asset can be called a media asset item. The media asset platform can provide multiple media asset items for the user terminal. For example, the media asset platform can be maintained through the operation server of display devices such as smart TVs, and displayed through the media asset interface on the display device. Users can select any media asset item in the media asset interface to preview, play and collect through interactive operations.

The media asset platform will update the media asset format according to the operation and maintenance status. With the continuous updating of media capital forms, the same media capital project under different media capital forms can have different media capital information. When a user uses a terminal to play a media asset item, the terminal usually uses the media asset information for detailed display, playback, and collection processing. Therefore, when the media asset format is updated, the terminal may not be able to identify the media asset item based on the old media asset information, resulting in The media asset item is unavailable or the media asset item is missing some information.

For example, if the user can save the media asset item A, then when the media asset item A is subsequently displayed, a favorite mark will be displayed on the display screen corresponding to the media asset item A. However, after the media asset form is updated, because the media asset information of media asset project A may change, the original name of the media asset A project is changed to the new name of media asset B, but the actual content of the two is the same. Then, after the media asset A is updated to the media asset B, the display device cannot recognize the media asset information of the media asset B, so that the media asset B does not have a collection mark, which reduces user experience.

The display device 200 can play media assets online through the server 400 . The server 400 may provide the display device 200 with one or more media asset platforms, and the media platform may include resource content of multiple media asset items, playback links, and other data content related to the media asset. These data can be stored in the server 400. When the display device 200 needs to play the media asset item in the platform, it can request the media asset data corresponding to the media asset item to be played by sending a playback request.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5 , for the children’s media resource project platform, the server 400 can send the media resource information to the display device 200 to display the children’s channel interface on the display device 200. In the children’s channel interface, there can be multiple information suitable for children to watch. media projects, such as cartoons, educational videos, etc. The user can select a media asset item to be played through the children's channel interface, and the display device 200 can send a media asset playback request to the server 400 according to the user's selection. After receiving the media asset play request, the server 400 extracts the media asset data from the children's media asset project platform, and feeds back the media asset data to the display device 200, so that the display device 200 plays the fed back media asset data.

When the display device 200 is playing the media asset item, the display device 200 can obtain the media asset data from the server 400 in real time, and through decoding, rendering and other processing, continuously form the media asset image. Moreover, the display device 200 can also monitor the playing process of the media asset item in real time. When the playing process of the media asset item is interrupted, the display device 200 will automatically record the playing progress of the media asset item to generate a history record. The history record can enable the user to continue playing the media item directly according to the recorded playback progress when playing the media item again, so as to meet the user's need to continue watching.

In order to enable the user to know more information about the playing process, in some embodiments, the display device 200 may firstly display the media asset details interface during the process of playing the media assets. As shown in FIG. 6 , in the media asset details interface, various information related to the media asset to be played may be included, such as media asset type, duration, author, plot introduction, and the like. In the media resource details interface, multiple functional options may also be included, such as playback options, collection options, collection options, and the like. The user can control the playback process of the display device 200 by clicking the corresponding option. For example, the user can control the display device 200 to play the target media asset by selecting the play option. The user may also control the display device 200 to display a plurality of episode options through the selection option, and select a desired episode from the episode options to play. The user can also control the display device 200 to bookmark or cancel the bookmarking of the target media asset item by selecting the bookmark option. When the target media asset item is favorited, the display device 200 may also display the target media asset on the collection interface for the user to choose to play.

For media assets that need to be played online, different display devices 200 or different media asset applications in the display device 200 may have different media asset platforms in the server 400, which are used to provide specific media assets for the display devices 200 connected to the server 400. capital data. The media asset item platform can form different channel interfaces on the display device 200 . For example, the media asset items provided in the children’s channel interface come from the children’s media asset project platform; the media asset items provided in the short video interface come from the short video media asset project platform, etc. The media asset project platform will be operated and maintained by different project parties according to the display device 200 type, media asset data copyright ownership, and application program type. Therefore, the media asset project platform applicable to the display device 200 may be a system platform, that is, a platform developed by the display device 200 or provided by an operator, or a third-party platform, that is, a third-party application program operator or an audio and video website operator provided by the platform.

In some embodiments, in order to increase the amount and types of media resources that the display device 200 can provide, some operators of the display device 200 may also cooperate with third-party platforms to jointly provide a media resource project platform. For example, display device 200 operator H and video website operator Q may be in a cooperative relationship to provide users using display device 200 with a brand new QY children's media resource platform to provide more children's media resource items.

Because the media asset project platform will update the media asset form according to the operation and maintenance status. With the continuous updating of media capital forms, the same media capital project under different media capital forms can have different media capital information. For example, when the display device 200 operation and maintenance provider H switches the form of self-built children's media assets to the form of QY children's media assets, as shown in Figure 7, in the self-built media assets platform, the media of "XX World Season 2" The asset ID is 46170, the name is "XX World Season 2", and the media asset type is 2001 (indicating education). As shown in Figure 8, in the QY children's media platform, the media ID of the media is: 11017041395, the name is "XX World Season 2", and the media type is 1001 (representing video category).

When the user uses the display device 200 to play a media asset item, the display device 200 usually uses the media asset information provided by the media asset platform to perform detailed display, playback, and collection processing, so when the media asset item platform is changed or the version is updated, it may cause the display The device 200 cannot identify the media asset item based on the media asset information provided by the original platform, resulting in the media asset item being unavailable.

For example, when the user uses the self-built children's media asset platform on the display device 200, and executes the collection operation on the media asset A, the "collected" mark can be displayed on the media asset details interface of the media asset A, as shown in FIG. 9 . When the display device 200 updates the media asset platform to the QY children's media asset platform, the media asset item with the same content as the media asset A is the media asset B, but after the display device 200 switches the media asset platform, because the new platform cannot provide The collection status is obtained in the media asset information, therefore, the "collected" mark will not be displayed in the media asset details interface of the media asset B, so that the user needs to repeat the collection operation.

In addition, since the new media asset platform and the old media asset platform provide media asset information independently of each other, when the display device 200 displays the media asset details interface based on the media asset information provided by the new platform, the interaction performed by the user on the media asset details interface Actions also don't map to legacy media assets. For example, when the user selects the cancel collection operation on the media asset details interface corresponding to media asset B, the collection operation corresponding to media asset A cannot be canceled simultaneously, that is, the "collected" collection can still be displayed on the media asset details interface corresponding to media asset A mark.

In order to improve the above problems, some embodiments of the present application provide a media asset mapping method for establishing a mapping relationship between media asset items provided by the new version platform and the old version platform. The media asset mapping method can be applied to a multimedia system composed of a server 400 and a display device 200 .

In order to implement the media asset mapping method, both the server 400 and the display device 200 need to meet specific hardware requirements. That is, the server 400 should at least include a storage module 410 , a communication module 420 and a control module 430 . Wherein, the storage module 410 is used for storing media asset items. The communication module 420 is used to establish a communication connection with the display device 200 . The control module 430 is configured to execute the program steps corresponding to the server 400 side in the media asset mapping method, so as to realize the media asset mapping function.

Similarly, the display device 200 should at least include a display 260 , a communicator 220 and a controller 250 . Wherein, the display 260 is used for displaying a user interface; the communicator 220 is used for establishing a communication connection with the server 400 . The controller 250 is configured to execute the program steps corresponding to the display device 200 side in the media asset mapping method, so as to realize the function of displaying the media asset detail interface.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 10, the media asset mapping method includes the following:

The display device 200 acquires a control instruction input by a user for displaying a media resource details interface. The user can input control instructions based on different interaction methods. In some embodiments, the control instruction for displaying the media asset details interface can be input based on the media asset details options provided in the user interface. For example, as shown in FIG. 11 , in some user interfaces or application interfaces that include a list of media assets, options such as "play", "details" and "not interested" can be set at each media asset item. The user can control the movement of the focus cursor through the control device 100 provided with the display device 200, and select the "details" option in the interface to input a control command for displaying the interface of media resource details.

In some embodiments, the control instruction for displaying the media resource details interface can also be input based on the completion of the playback process. That is, the user can control the display device 200 to play the target media asset item through the control device 100 or the communication terminal 300 in combination with the user interface provided by the display device 200, then when the target media asset item is selected for playback, the display device 200 will display the media asset item before playing. Information details interface. For example, the user can control the movement of the focus cursor through the control device 100 supporting the display device 200, and select the "My"-"History"-"XX World Season 2" option in the control home page in order to control the display device 200 to play For the target media asset item, the display device 200 will display the media asset details interface corresponding to "XX World Season 2" after detecting the above-mentioned interaction action input by the user.

Users can input control commands based on different types of interaction. In some embodiments, for a display device 200 that supports touch interactive operations, the user can also control the display device 200 to display a media resource details interface or play target media assets through touch interactive operations. For example, the user can control the display device 200 to display the media resource details interface by selecting the "XX World Season 2" option based on the media resource recommendation interface through touch interaction operations.

In some embodiments, for the display device 200 that supports voice interactive operation, the user can also control the display device 200 to play the target media asset item based on the intelligent voice system. For example, the user can input "XX world season 2", "I want to watch XX world season 2", "play XX world season 2" through the far-field microphone of the display device 200 or the built-in microphone of the control device 100 and other audio content. After receiving the voice content, the intelligent voice system converts the voice into text, and then extracts the semantics through the natural language processing model, thereby generating control instructions according to the semantics, and controlling the display device 200 to display the media resource details interface.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned interaction methods are only examples of many interaction methods, and do not limit the input process of specific control commands. Other input methods that those skilled in the art can think of on the basis of the above-mentioned interaction methods, As well as other input methods adopted to adapt to different interaction strategies of the display device 200, all belong to the protection scope of the present application.

After the user inputs a control instruction for displaying the media resource details interface, the display device 200 may send an operation request to the server 400 in response to the control instruction. Wherein, the operation request is an instruction generated by the display device 200 according to the control instruction for requesting detailed information of media assets. The operation request may be the same as the control instruction, that is, after receiving the control instruction input by the user, the display device 200 directly transmits the control instruction to the server 400 as an operation request. The operation request may also be a new instruction generated by the display device 200 according to the data interaction specification with the server 400 and the control instruction input by the user. Obviously, the operation request needs to include the target media asset item specified in the control instruction to display the media asset detail interface or to play.

For example, when the user inputs a control command by selecting the "XX World Season 2" option on the media asset recommendation interface, and the target media asset item specified in the control command is "XX World Season 2", the display device 200 An operation request may be generated based on "XX World Season 2" and sent to the server 400 .

After receiving the operation request, the server 400 may query the media asset detailed information of the target media asset in response to the operation request. The media asset details information refers to the information that can be displayed on the media asset details interface, and may include the type, duration, author, plot introduction, etc. of the target media asset. The media asset detail information can be stored in the storage module 410 of the server 400 . Since the operation request is used to request the media asset detailed information of the target media asset, after the server 400 receives the operation request, the server 400 can extract the target media asset item from the operation request, and store the target media asset item in the storage module 410 according to the target media asset item. Match media asset details in the media asset database.

In order to facilitate querying the media asset details information, a media asset details database may be maintained in the server 400. The media asset details database may include multiple entries, and each entry corresponds to a media asset item, which can be used to store the media asset item. The corresponding identification number, name, type, duration, author, plot introduction and other information. Among them, some information can be used to uniquely refer to the media asset item. For example, each entry can be set with an identification number corresponding to it. The identification number can be uniformly formulated according to a specific numbering rule as the media asset ID. Then, the entry may include the following information: the media asset ID is 11017041395, the media asset name is "XX World Season 2", the media asset type is video, the duration is 25:00, and the author is ××.

The server 400 may perform matching of media asset detail information, such as media asset ID, media asset name, etc., according to the identification information corresponding to the target media asset item specified in the operation request. For this reason, in some embodiments, after receiving the operation request, the server 400 can extract the media resource ID: 11017041395 from the operation request, and perform matching in the database of the server 400 according to the media resource ID, and determine that the media resource ID is included. is an entry of 11017041395, so that the media asset detailed information corresponding to the media asset ID is obtained in this entry.

While acquiring the detailed information of the media assets, the server 400 may also detect the mapped media assets that are associated with the target media assets. Wherein, the mapped media asset refers to the media asset whose content is the same or substantially the same as the target media asset, but provided by another media asset platform that is different from the platform corresponding to the target media asset. In some embodiments, the target media assets are media assets provided by the new version platform and the mapped media assets are media assets provided by the old version platform. Wherein, the new version platform is the media asset platform after the display device switches the platform from the old version platform. For example, media asset A and media asset B with the same video content have an associated relationship, where media asset A is a media asset provided by a self-built media asset platform, and media asset B is a media asset provided by a QY media asset platform. When the user operation request requests the media asset detailed information of the media asset B, the server 400 may detect that the media asset A has an association relationship with the media asset B, that is, the media asset A is a mapped media asset of the media asset B.

Apparently, the server 400 may implement different control modes according to the detection result of the mapped media assets. That is, as shown in FIG. 12 , in some embodiments, when the server 400 detects that there is no associated mapped media asset for the current target media asset, it indicates that the target media asset is a media asset provided separately by the platform of the new version. There is no media asset with the same content on the platform. Therefore, the media asset detail interface can be displayed directly according to the target media asset detail information, that is, the server 400 only feeds back the media asset detail information to the display device 200 .

And when the server 400 detects that the current target media asset has an associated mapping media asset, it indicates that the old version platform can provide the media asset item with the same content as the current target media asset, so the media asset details of the current target media asset item are displayed. Information, the operations performed by the user based on the old version of the platform can be synchronized to the current media asset item, such as collection, playback progress, etc. For this reason, the server 400 may extract the information related to the mapped media assets while acquiring the detailed information of the media assets. Because the mapped media assets are usually the media assets provided by the old version of the platform, as the platform version is updated, they will be replaced media assets, so the extracted parameters related to the mapped media assets can be called the replaced media assets parameters.

In order to determine the mapped media assets with which the target media assets have an association relationship, the database in the server 400 may add items related to the mapped media assets. For example, the database list may include a "replace-media" parameter column for recording each A mapping media asset associated with a target media asset. Then, when the display device 200 requests the media asset detailed information of the media asset B, the server 400 can find the mapped media asset A in the database list according to the media asset ID of the media asset B. And extract the replaced parameters according to the mapped media asset A, including whether it is favorited, playing progress, etc.

After obtaining the media asset detailed information and the replaced parameters, the server 400 may add the replaced media asset parameters to the media asset detailed information according to the preset data parameter structure, so as to generate replacement information. Since the replacement information formed by adding includes the parameters of the replaced media assets, and the parameters of the replaced media assets are generated according to the related operations of the mapped media assets, therefore, the replaced media assets parameters include the mapped media assets that are associated with the target media assets The information, that is, the media asset detail information after adding the replaced media asset parameters to the media asset detail information, also includes the mapped media asset information.

Wherein, the replacement information may be used to generate the media asset details interface by using the replacement information instead of the media asset detail information after the server 400 adds the replaced media asset parameters to the mapped media asset information to generate the replacement information. As shown in Figure 13, in some embodiments, the server 400 can generate replacement parameters according to a specific data structure, that is, when adding the replaced media asset parameters for the media asset detailed information, the server 400 can first obtain the mapped media asset information, and then Source information is extracted from the mapped media asset information, where the source information includes the media asset ID of the mapped media asset, the type of the media asset, the mapping direction, and the operation data. After extracting the source information, the server 400 can combine the source information into the replaced media asset parameters according to the preset data structure, so as to write the replaced media asset parameters into the media asset detailed information.

For example, the operator of the server 400 can pre-set the replacement information structure of "media resource B (QY media resource platform video) details + replaced media resource A (self-built media resource platform course) parameters", namely: "replace_media_relation", Include the following parameter segments, such as "id" to indicate the ID of the media asset, and a "long" value can be used, such as 46170 to indicate the mapping of the media asset A; it also includes "content_type" to indicate the type of the media asset, and the "integer" parameter can be used to indicate various media assets Type, such as 1001 for video media assets and 2001 for educational media assets. And "direction" represents the mapping direction, you can use "integer" to represent the mapping direction, that is, 0 represents the from source, and 1 represents the to conversion target.

Therefore, when the server 400 generates replacement information based on the target media asset B and the mapped media asset A, the replaced parameters added for the target media asset B may be: "replace_media_relation": "id": 46170, media asset A; "content_type ": 2001, educational media assets; "direction": 0.

In addition to the above-mentioned replaced media asset parameter parameters used to represent the association relationship, the media asset information added to the media asset detailed information may also include other related information used to characterize the operations performed by the user on the mapped media asset. For example, a "mapping From Infos" parameter item can be added to the media asset details information, and the parameter item can indicate the product type through "product Code", that is, the "integer" parameter indicates the product type, such as 1 for film and television, and 21 for children's . You can also use "sceneCode" to indicate the scene type, that is, "string" indicates the scene type, such as license video for children's videos, video for children's courses, etc. You can also use "result Code" to indicate the operation result, that is, the "integer" of the parameter item indicates the operation result, such as 0 indicates that the operation is successful, 1 indicates that the operation failed, 3 indicates that migration occurred, etc.

After adding the replaced media asset parameters to the media asset detailed information according to the above data structure to generate the replacement information, the server 400 may return the replacement information to the display device 200 . The display device 200 displays the media resource details interface according to the replacement information. Since the displayed media asset details interface is generated based on the replacement information, and the replacement information includes content related to mapped media assets, the media asset details interface also includes mapped media assets information.

For example, when the user uses the display device 200 to collect media asset A during the self-built media asset platform, after the media asset platform version is updated to the QY media asset platform, the user controls the display device 200 to request the media asset details interface of media asset B , the server 400 may write the operation result corresponding to the bookmarked media asset A into the media asset detail information of the media asset B, generate replacement information, and send the replacement information to the display device 200 . After receiving the replacement information, the display device 200 may extract the content in the replacement information, and generate a media resource details interface according to the extracted content. Since the replacement information includes the collection operation result of media asset A, when the media asset details interface of media asset B is displayed, the collection option in the interface is directly displayed as "collected" to realize media asset association mapping.

It can be seen from the above technical solution that the media asset mapping method provided by the above embodiment can let the server 400 query the media asset detailed information and map the media asset when the display device 200 requests the media asset details interface of the target media asset, and provide the media asset detailed information Add the replaced media asset parameters related to the mapped media asset, so that the target media asset can inherit the relevant parameters of the mapped media asset, and realize the preservation of collection operations, playback progress and other data. Therefore, the user does not need to repeatedly perform operations on media assets of the same content, thereby improving user experience.

Due to the large number of display devices 200 connected to the server 400, and different display devices 200 have different hardware configurations, some display devices 200 only support the old version of the media asset platform, and some display devices 200 support the old version of the media asset platform It also supports the new version of the media assets platform. The purpose of the above-mentioned media asset mapping method is to provide relevant content recorded by the old version platform in the same content media asset item provided by the new version platform when different versions of the media asset platform are switched. That is, the media asset mapping method is only applicable to the display device 200 that supports both the old version platform and the new version platform.

For this, as shown in FIG. 14 , in some embodiments, after receiving the operation request sent by the display device 200, the server 400 can detect the support status of the old and new versions of the display device 200, that is, when querying the media After providing the detailed information, the server 400 may extract the identification information of the display device 200 from the operation request. The identification information of the display device 200 refers to information capable of identifying the display device 200 , including a device name, a mac address, a network address, and the like. The server 400 can send an identification information acquisition command to the display device 200 when the display device 200 is connected for the first time, and the display device 200 will feed back information such as the device name, mac address, and network address to the server 400 after receiving the identification information acquisition command. In order to enable the server 400 to store the identification information of the display device 200 . When detecting the associated media asset item of the target media asset item, the server 400 may directly extract the identification information of the current display device 200 from the stored data.

After obtaining the identification information, the server 400 may query the model version of the display device 200 according to the identification information. Obviously, different display devices 200 may belong to the same model version, and the corresponding platform support conditions are usually the same. For example, the identification information obtained by the server 400 can be: XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX, that is, the mac address, then the server 400 can query the model version of the display device 200 according to the identification information after obtaining the identification information , ie: 65E3X-PRO××UI12.1.

After querying the model version, the server 400 can extract the operation and maintenance update plan of the current version to detect the media asset platform supported by the model version, that is, to determine whether the media asset platform supported by the current model version is the original version platform or a new version platform. When the application version of the current model supports switching to the new version platform, it means that the current display device 200 supports the media asset mapping method to display the media asset details interface, so it can be performed to add the replaced media asset parameters and follow-up steps for the media asset details information to complete the media asset mapping mode. Resource mapping operation.

In some embodiments, when it is determined through the identification information of the display device 200 that the application version of the current model supports switching to the new version platform, the server 400 may also map the media assets in the old version before adding the replaced media asset parameters to the media asset detailed information If the online status of the mapped media assets on the old version platform is online, that is, the mapped media assets have not been offline or filtered on the old version platform, the server 400 can still pass through the old platform After obtaining the mapped media asset information, you can continue to add the replaced media asset parameters for the media asset detail information.

If the online status of the mapped media asset in the old version platform is offline, that is, the mapped media asset has been offline or filtered, the server 400 can no longer display it in the new version of the media asset details interface through the media asset mapping method The content corresponding to the old version, so the server 400 can update the media asset content of the old version to the new version of the media asset content by means of media asset migration, that is, the server 400 can generate media asset migration information, and send the media asset to the display device 200 transfer information, so that the display device 200 displays the detailed information of media assets according to the migration identifier. Wherein, the media asset migration information includes a migration identifier set according to a preset migration data structure.

In some embodiments, when the application version of the current model does not support switching to the new version platform, the server 400 can also detect the online status of the mapped media assets on the old version platform, and display the final media asset details interface according to the online status. That is, if the model version does not support the new version platform, since the display device 200 cannot obtain the relevant data of the target media asset item from the new version platform, in order to ensure the correct operation of the playback process, the server 400 can obtain the mapped media asset on the old version platform. If the online status of the target media asset is online, that is, the mapped media asset project is not offline or filtered in the old version platform, you can extract the media asset details of the mapped media asset in the old version platform, and then submit the The display device 200 feeds back the media asset details of the target media asset.

After receiving the media asset details information, the display device 200 can perform interface rendering according to the media asset details data provided by the platform of the old version. Because the same media assets have different media asset details information on the old version platform and the new version platform, the display device 200, for the media asset item of the same content, the media asset detailed information obtained based on the old version platform and the media asset detailed information obtained based on the new version platform There may be some discrepancies in media asset details. Therefore, there are some differences in the media asset detail interface rendered by the display device 200 according to the media asset detail information. For example, the two media asset projects "XX World Season 2" and "XX World Season 2" with the same video content have different names and types of media assets. The type is 2001 education; and the type of media assets on the QY platform is 1001 video.

And if the online status of the target media asset is offline or filtered, that is, the display device 200 can no longer obtain data related to the media asset project through the old version of the media asset platform, so the server 400 can feed back the offline message to the display device 200 , so that the display device 200 can display a prompt message or a prompt interface according to the offline message.

It can be seen from the above technical solution that in the above embodiment, the server 400 can detect information such as the mapped media asset item, the model version of the display device 200, and the online status, so that the server 400 can judge the current display device 200 according to the detection result. Whether the media asset project needs to be mapped to media assets, and according to different judgment results, implement the corresponding information delivery method to meet the user's playback needs.

Since the media asset mapping method provided in the above embodiment can include related content such as collection operations and playback progress in the old version platform in the media asset details interface provided by the new platform after the media asset platform is switched, these contents It can also be continuously updated according to the interactive operations performed by the user based on the media resource details interface. For example, the user can click on the favorite option again in the media asset details interface displaying the "Favorites" option to control the cancellation of favorites, and the status of the favorite option in the media asset details interface will be changed from "Favorites" to "Favorites". At the same time, the corresponding operation can be recorded again by the server 400, and the storage state can be updated, so as to meet the application of the subsequent media asset mapping method.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15 , in some embodiments, the server 400 may also acquire the interaction request input by the display device in real time after the display device 200 displays the media resource details interface. The interaction request can also be input to the display device 200 through the control device 100 , touch interaction, voice interaction and other means provided in the above embodiments.

The display device 200 then generates an interaction request according to the user's interaction action and the specific screen layout state in the currently displayed user interface, and sends the interaction request to the server 400 . For example, when the user interaction action is to click the favorite option in the user details interface, the display device 200 may determine the user's interaction content according to the click action and the state that the favorite option in the currently displayed media resource details interface is "favorite". is "Unfavorite", thus generating an interaction request containing the interactive content "Unfavorite".

After receiving the interaction request sent by the display device 200, the server 400 may respond to the interaction request, extract specific content of the interaction from the interaction request, and calculate an interaction result according to the interaction content. For example, when the interaction content included in the interaction request is "unfavorite", the server 400 may change the corresponding parameter value in the collection-related data entry from "1 (favorite)" to "0 (unfavorite)" according to the interaction content. Collection)" to get the corresponding interaction result.

After calculating the interaction result, the server 400 also modifies the replaced media asset parameter according to the interaction result, that is, modifies the replaced media asset parameter in the replacement information, so that the replaced media asset parameter is changed to a parameter value suitable for the interaction result , and then send the modified media asset parameters to the display device 200 to update the operation identifier in the media asset details interface. For example, change the collection option display content from "Favorite" to "Favorite" in the media asset details interface. At the same time, the server 400 can also store the modified parameters of the replaced media assets for subsequent calling.

Based on the above media asset mapping method, in some embodiments of the present application, a server 400 is also provided, including a storage module 410 , a communication module 420 and a control module 430 .

Obtaining an operation request input by the display device for displaying a media resource details interface;

In response to the operation request, query the media asset detailed information of the target media asset;

Adding a replaced media asset parameter to the media asset detail information to generate replacement information, the replaced media asset parameter including mapping media asset information associated with the target media asset;

Returning the replacement information to the display device, so that the media asset details interface displayed on the display device includes the mapped media asset information.

In order to enable the server 400 to implement the media asset mapping method provided in the above embodiments, in some embodiments, based on the system software architecture of the server 400, multiple functional modules may be configured in the server 400, and each functional module may be dedicated to for processing specific data. For example, the server 400 may be configured with a terminal-oriented module for exchanging instructions and data with the display device 200; a content module for adding replaced media asset parameters for the media asset item; The project establishes an association relationship, and transmits the association relationship to the content module, so that the content module can write the replaced media asset parameter into the media asset parameter; the basic business module is used to determine the platform support information of the display device 200 .

Based on the above functional modules, the server 400 can call each functional module to display the media asset details interface when the display device 200 plays the media asset item. For example, as shown in Figure 17, after the display device 200 requests the media asset B details page in the QY media asset platform, the server 400 can first call the basic business module to obtain the model version capability. If the model version capability of the current display device 200 is To support the new version of the platform, the terminal module will feed back the request for the detailed information of media asset B to the content module, so as to trigger the content module to detect whether media asset B is available in the QY media asset platform, and if it is available, then detect whether media asset B exists Media asset A with an associated relationship. And after it is determined that there is an associated media asset A, the associated relationship information compiled by the operation module is obtained to obtain the parameters of the replaced media asset.

The content module then adds the replaced media asset parameters to the media asset details corresponding to the media asset B, generates replacement information, and feeds it back to the terminal-oriented module, and then calculates and processes the replacement parameters for the terminal-oriented module to generate data that can be recognized by the display device 200 Feedback is given to the display device 200, so that the display device 200 can display the interface of media resource details.

In cooperation with the server 400 provided in the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 18 , in some embodiments, a display device 200 is also provided, including: a display 260 , a communicator 220 and a controller 250 . Wherein, the display 260 is configured to display a user interface, including a history record interface; the communicator 220 is configured to establish a communication connection with the server 400; the controller 250 is configured to perform the following program steps:

sending an operation request to the server in response to the control instruction;

Receiving the replacement information returned by the server for the operation request, the replacement information is generated by adding the replaced media asset parameters to the media asset detail information, and the media asset detail information is the target obtained by the server according to the query of the operation request Media asset information; the replaced media asset parameters include mapping media asset information associated with the target media asset;

Controlling the display to display a media asset details interface according to the replacement information, the media asset details interface including the mapped media asset information.

It can be seen that the display device 200 provided in the above embodiment can trigger the server 400 to feed back replacement information by sending an operation request to the server when the user controls it to display the media asset details interface, and render and generate a media asset details interface for display according to the replacement information. Since the replacement information includes information related to mapping media assets, the displayed media asset details interface can display information such as operation records based on the old version of the media asset platform.

For example, when the user collects and maps the media asset "Media Asset A" based on the old version of the media asset platform, and requests to display the media asset details interface of the target media asset "Media Asset B" that is associated with "Media Asset A", the display device 200 From the replacement information field fed back by the server 400, according to the tag of the replaced media asset in the added field "replace_media_relation", the operation data of the replaced media asset can be obtained, so that in the displayed media asset details interface "media asset B "Favorites tab is also in the "Favorites" state.

In order to enable the media asset details interface displayed by the display device 200 to include the operation data of the replaced media asset, in some embodiments, the display device 200 can also automatically update with the server 400 through a specific synchronization trigger mechanism. For example, when the display device 200 is turned on each time, the display device 200 can synchronize the operation data related to the user's history record and collection record with the server 400 through the synchronization program built in the operating system, and obtain the operation data from the old version of the media asset platform and cache. And, when the user controls the display device 200 to display the media asset details interface, then according to the tag of the replaced media asset in the field "replace_media_relation" read in the replacement information, go to the cache to find the historical operation corresponding to the replaced media asset, Then modify the content in the media asset details interface according to these historical operations, that is, add the media asset collection mark, or set the playback start time of the current media asset according to the playing history time point of the mapped media asset.

In some embodiments, the replacement information may not directly contain the operation data of the mapped media asset, and the relevant operation data is still stored in the old version of the media asset platform. After the display device 200 obtains the replacement information, the display device 200 can first read the replacement information, and then send a query request to the server 400 corresponding to the old version of the media asset platform according to the data content related to the mapped media assets recorded in the replacement information, thereby Operational data is obtained in server 400 .

For example, when the display device 200 requests the media asset details interface of "Media Asset B" in the QY media asset platform according to the method provided in the above embodiment, the display device 200 can obtain the replacement information from the server 400 through the method provided in the above embodiment Finally, according to the mark of the replaced media asset in "replace_media_relation", that is, the identification information such as the media asset name and media asset ID of "Media Asset A" in the self-built media asset platform, go to the server 400 to request the operation data, and the server 400 then After receiving the request, query operation data such as whether to collect or not, play progress, etc. in the self-built media asset platform, and then feed back the queried operation data to the display device 200, so that the display device 200 can correspond to the media asset details interface according to the operation data Adjustment of option content.
