Live programs are an important form of television programs, and can enable viewers to master various information in time. After the user expects to click the live program recommendation entrance, the user can watch the live program. However, live programs have very strong timeliness, and when a user clicks a live program recommendation entry, some live programs may not be started when a data request is made, and live programs may be ended.
Currently, in order to enable a user to sense the progress of a live program in advance, a live zone is usually set in a user interface. And setting a regular refreshing interval in the live broadcast special area, namely regularly updating the latest data and updating the live broadcast program state. Alternatively, the update data is refreshed manually by the user.
However, setting the live zone is a way to refresh data, and cannot update the status of the live program in real time. It is possible that during the waiting refresh interval, the live program has updated status, but the data presented to the user in the live spot has not been updated. This results in the live program status viewed by the user on the user interface being asynchronous with the actual live program status, which ultimately results in poor user experience for the user.
In order to solve the problem, the application provides a display device, and the display device can update the live program state in real time according to the time information of the live program, so that the condition that the live program state checked by a user is not synchronous with the actual live program state is avoided. The display device includes at least a display, a user input interface, and a controller. The user inputs an operation of opening a live program display interface on the display device, for example, a live entry control of a certain platform is selected through a remote controller.
And after receiving the operation of the user, the display equipment generates a control signal for indicating to open the live program display interface. A controller of the display device receives a control signal input from the user input interface indicating opening of the live program presentation interface, and generates a live program data request in response to the user input. And sending the live program data request to a server. And after receiving the live program data request, the server feeds the live program data back to the server.
The specific live program data at least comprises live program display information and live program playing time. The live program display information may include a live program name, a live program display picture, URL (Uniform Resource locator) information of the live program, and the like. The user can know the basic information of the live program through the name of the live program and the display picture of the live program. The URL of the live program may establish a mapping relationship with the live program display picture or with the live program name. The user can obtain the URL of the live program by clicking the name of the live program or the display picture of the live program, and then obtain the playing resource of the live program.
The live program playing time comprises the starting time of the live program and the ending time of the live program, the starting time is used for indicating the time point when the live program starts live broadcasting, and the ending time is used for indicating the time point when the live program ends live broadcasting. The start time precedes the end time. For example, a news lineup has a start time of 19:00 and an end time of 19: 30.
The live broadcast state of the live program can be determined according to the context of the current time and the start time and the end time. And finally, displaying the live program display information in a live program display interface, and displaying a live program state identifier corresponding to the live program state on the live program display information.
Specifically, if the current time is before the start time, which indicates that the current time has not yet reached the start time, it is determined that the live broadcast status of the live broadcast program is not started, and the live broadcast status identifier is an un-started live broadcast status identifier. And if the current time is after the starting time and before the ending time, the current time is more than the starting time but less than the ending time, determining that the live broadcasting state of the live broadcasting program is live broadcasting, and identifying the live broadcasting state as the live broadcasting state. It should be noted that when the user just opens the live program display interface, the live program with the live program end identifier is not displayed. When the server issues the program data, the live program data which is finished live broadcasting is removed. Therefore, when the user just opens the live program display interface, only live programs which are currently live and live programs which do not start live are displayed for the user.
Illustratively, the user interface on the display device shown in fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a live program presentation interface. Live program display information of the live program 1 and the live program 2 is displayed in the live program display interface shown in fig. 5. The server feeds back live program data of the live program 1 and live program data of the live program 2 to the display device, and the live program data both comprise live program display information and live program playing time.
Wherein, the start time of the live program 1 is 14:00, and the end time is 15: 00; the start time of the live program 2 is 14:30, and the end time is 15: 30; the live program 3 starts at 13:30 and ends at 14: 00. And the current time is 14:20, and the current time is after the start time of the live program 1 and before the end time of the live program 1, so that the live state of the live program 1 is live, and the live state identifier of the live program 1 is the live state identifier. For example, in fig. 5, a "live broadcast" mark is additionally displayed on the live program presentation information of the live program 1. The current time is before the start time of the live program 2, so the live program 1 is not started in the live state, and the live program 2 is not started in the live state identifier. For example, in fig. 5, a "not start" mark is additionally displayed on the live program presentation information of the live program 2. The current time is after the end time of the live program 3, so the server does not download the program data of the live program 3 when downloading the live program data, and thus the live program 3 is not displayed on the interface.
In some embodiments, when the live state of the live program is not started, the system may set a timer for the live program, specifically set a live start timer and a live end timer. The live broadcast start timer corresponds to a start time of the live broadcast program, and the live broadcast end timer corresponds to an end time of the live broadcast program.
And if the current time is coincident with the start time, namely the live program starts to be played, the live broadcast start timer sends a start instruction to the controller, and the controller controls the live broadcast state identifier to be updated from the un-started live broadcast state identifier to the live broadcast state identifier according to the start instruction. When the time reaches the start time of the live program, the identifier on the display information of the live program is automatically updated to the identifier in the live state.
And if the current time is coincident with the end time, namely the live program finishes playing, the live program end timer sends an end instruction to the controller, and the controller controls the live program state identifier to be updated from the live program state identifier to the live program end state identifier according to the end instruction. When the time reaches the end time of the live program, the identifier on the display information of the live program is automatically updated to the identifier of the end live program state. Through the embodiment, the start timer and the end timer are set for each live program according to the start time and the end time of the live program, so that the state of the live program can be updated in real time according to the time information of each live program.
Illustratively, in fig. 5, the current time is 14:20 (the time of acquiring program data from the server), the live program 1 is a program being live, and the live status indicator shows an "live" indicator. The live program 2 is a live program that is not started, and the live status flag is displayed as a "not started" flag. At this time, the live program 1 has a live broadcast end timer, and the live program 2 has a live broadcast start timer and a live broadcast end timer. As time advances, if the current time is 14:30, the live program 1 does not reach the end time, so the live end timer for the live program 1 does not start working. And meanwhile, the current time reaches the start time of the live program 2, so that the live program start timer of the live program 2 starts to work and sends a start instruction to the controller. The controller controls the live status flag on the live program presentation information of the live program 2 to be updated from "not started" to "live" according to the start instruction, as shown in the user interface shown in fig. 6. Further, if the current time reaches 15:00, the live program 1 reaches the end time. At this time, the live broadcast end timer of the live broadcast program 1 starts to work, and sends an end instruction to the controller. The controller controls the live program status flag on the live program presentation information of the live program 1 to be updated from "live" to "end" according to the end instruction, as shown in the user interface shown in fig. 7.
In some embodiments, the live program data fed back by the server to the display device is typically a program that is currently live or is about to be live within a preset time threshold. For example, a user opens a certain live platform page, and program data of a live program which is live or is about to be live within 12 hours from the current time is presented to the user, but program data of a live program which is more than 12 hours from the current time is not presented. In this way, too much program data can be prevented from being fed back to the display device, and the presented program data is a program which is live in the near term and is more convenient for the user to view. In some embodiments, some live programs that are more than 12 hours from the current time but are more popular may also be presented to the user. For example, in the live broadcast of a trending event of the olympic games, although the live broadcast start time is more than 12 hours from the current time, the presentation of the program data to the user in advance can further enhance the user viewing experience.
In some embodiments, the server generally configures a larger amount of live program data for the display device, and in order to achieve the purpose of updating the status of the live program in real time, if a live start timer and a live end timer are set for each live program, the number of the set timers is too large. A large burden is finally imposed on the display device terminal, and therefore setting a timer for each live program is not a reasonable solution.
In order to solve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present application, the update time of the live broadcast status identifier of the live broadcast program may be calculated according to the current time, the start time, and the end time, and finally, a live broadcast start timer or a live broadcast end timer is added to the live broadcast program with the shortest update time. That is, the live programs are sorted from small to large according to the time required by the next update, and a timer is only added to the live program which is closest to the update each time. And after the current program regularly receives calls, adding a timer to the next nearest updated live program until the states of all programs are updated.
For example, a live program display interface presents 100 lines of data, each line has 25 programs, and if all programs are in an un-started state and each program has a start timer and an end timer, a total of 5000 timers are required to be set. The improved scheme is that the time length from the current time to the next update (start or end) of each program is calculated according to the current time and the start time and the end time of 2500 programs. And sorting according to the update duration from small to large. The update time of the program to which the timer is added is closest to the current time. One timer per row of data can be added, so that only 100 timers need to be set. Therefore, the improved scheme can greatly reduce the number of timers and reduce the burden of the system.
In some embodiments, a server data request timer may be started if the user leaves the current live programming presentation interface. For example, every 1 hour, the page requests new data from the server. Therefore, the situation that the user frequently advances or retreats the page to cause frequent data request to the server can be avoided. And after the backstage supporter timing time is up, if the server successfully requests new data, stopping the timers of all the existing live programs in the page. According to the new data obtained from the server, the page is re-laid according to the steps of the embodiment, and the corresponding live broadcast state identifier is added and displayed to the live broadcast program presented on the page.
In addition, after the page moves back to the background, the page is opened again next time, and the state update of the existing live program is executed. Specifically, all programs in the page are traversed, and the live program with the live broadcast state of "end" is deleted. Live programs with a live status of "live" may be designated as being prioritized. The live interface with the live status of "not started" is ranked in the following column. If a plurality of live programs which are 'live broadcast' exist, the live program with the shortest next updating time, namely the live program with the shortest distance to the end time is arranged in front of other live programs according to the length of the current time and the end time. Similarly, if there are multiple "not started" live programs, the live program with the shortest next update time, that is, the shortest distance from the start time, is set in front of other live programs according to the length of the current time from the start time.
In some embodiments, after the user opens the live program page, a request for live program data is sent to the server, and a request for non-live program data is also sent to the server. And the server feeds back the non-live program data according to the non-live program data request. The non-live program data includes non-live program presentation information but does not include a start time and an end time. Therefore, the mixed arrangement mode of live programs and non-live programs can be realized. After the user opens the live program page, the user can watch not only live programs but also non-live programs. For example, the non-live program may be highlight video content of some live programs with higher popularity. The non-live program may be arranged after the live program. And the live program status identification is not displayed on the non-live program. Therefore, the user can judge whether the current program is the live program by checking whether the live program state identifier is displayed on the program display information.
The implementation manner of the above embodiment is as follows: after the display device sends a request for live program data to the server, the playing time of the live program sent by the server is fields of StartTime (start time) and EndTime (end time). Respectively, for indicating the relative time from the data request period to the start and end of the live program, the unit may be seconds. The StartTime and EndTime fields specify values greater than or equal to 0. Here, relative time is used, not absolute time, because the time of the display device may be inaccurate. Such as time, is not a synchronization time obtained from the network, but is a time set by itself. And the time zones vary from place to place around the world, and time zone conversion needs to be considered if absolute time is used.
In addition, whether the current program is a live program or not can be judged according to the StartTime field and the EndTime field, and further the state of the live program can be judged. The absence of both the StartTime and EndTime fields is a non-live program. There is no StartTime field and there is an EndTime field for live programs that are in the live. While there is a StartTime field and theoretically there is no program of this type where there is no EndTime field. The StartTime and EndTime fields are both present for the live program not started.
An embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying a live program status, such as a signaling diagram shown in fig. 8, where the method includes:
step one, receiving a control signal which is input from a user input interface and indicates to open a live program display interface, responding to the user input, generating a live program data request, and sending the live program data request to a server.
And step two, the server feeds back the live program data according to the live program data request. The live program data at least comprises live program display information and live program playing time. The live program playing time comprises a start time and an end time, the start time is used for indicating a time point when the live program starts live broadcasting, the end time is used for indicating a time point when the live program finishes live broadcasting, and the start time is before the end time.
And step three, determining the live broadcast state of the live broadcast program according to the context of the current time, the start time and the end time, displaying live broadcast program display information in a live broadcast program display interface, and additionally displaying a live broadcast state identifier corresponding to the live broadcast state on the live broadcast program display information.
The method provided by the embodiment can update the state of the live program in real time according to the time information of the live program, and avoids the condition that the live program state checked by the user is not synchronous with the actual live program state, so that the use experience of the user is improved.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, the present application further provides a live program state initialization method, as shown in the flowchart of the live program state initialization method shown in fig. 9, the method includes:
step S101, after acquiring program data from a server, starting program data initialization.
Step S102, if the StartTime field exists in the program data, indicating that the live program has not started yet, the time of the next state update of the live program depends on the StartTime field, and an up (not started) field is added in the data of the live program. If the program data does not have a StartTime field and an EndTime field, indicating that the live program is live, the time of the next status update of the live program depends on its EndTime field, and a live field is added to the data of the live program. If neither the StartTime field nor the EndTime field exists in the program data, it indicates that the program is not a live program.
And S103, sequencing the live programs from short time to short time according to the time required by next state updating of each live program, and deriving a live program queue in a state to be updated according to the sequenced live programs. In the process of initializing the live programs, the live programs can be sequentially inserted into isolated positions according to the arrangement from small to large of the time required by updating. Therefore, after the data initialization is completed, the ordered live program arrays are obtained, and the interface display efficiency is improved.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, the present application further provides a live program status real-time updating method, such as the live program status real-time updating method shown in fig. 10, where the method includes:
step S201, obtaining a program queue to be updated after data initialization is completed, and starting live program state updating.
Step S202, if the queue length of the program to be updated is less than or equal to 0, the updating of all the program states is finished, and the updating is finished.
Step S203, if the length of the program queue to be updated is greater than 0, the state that the programs still need to be updated is indicated. A timer is started for the program closest to the update time.
And step S204, if the state of the current program is the non-starting state, adding a starting timer for the program. When the current time reaches the start time, the start timer is started to update the state of the program from the up state to the live state, and the program is deleted from the queue to be updated. And taking EndTime of the program as the next updating time, and reinserting the EndTime into the queue to be updated according to the size rule.
And step S205, if the current program is in the live broadcasting state, adding an end timer for the program. And after the current time reaches the end time, starting an end timer to update the state of the program from the live state to the end state, and deleting the program from the queue to be updated.
After the steps, the updating of all program states is finished until the length of the program queue to be updated is less than or equal to 0, and the updating is finished.
