The user can view the application programs already installed on the display device, i.e., the functions supported by the display device, through the application panel. The user may select one of the applications and open it to implement the functionality of the application. It should be noted that, the application installed in the display device may be a system application or a third party application. And the user controls the display device to realize the corresponding function of the application program by starting the application program. Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of an application panel in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 5, the application panel includes three controls, "browser", "cable tv", and "video chat".

In some embodiments, a user may view a media asset program using a display device. It should be noted that, the cable television provider may provide a plurality of media channels to the display device, each media channel may play different media programs, and what media program is played in what time period in each media channel is determined by the cable television provider, and the media program is played in each media channel through a broadcast manner of live stream signals. The display device may obtain different media channels from the cable television provider for viewing by the user.

For live stream signals in media channels, the display device can parse through the ATSC3.0 protocol to be played to the user. ATSC3.0 is the television broadcast ATSC latest digital television standard created by ATSC (Advanced Television System Committee, television systems committee). ATSC3.0 contains about 20 standards that cover various aspects of the system, allowing cable providers to provide customized, dynamic experiences, including dynamic advertisement placement, personalized graphics, and secondary screen application synchronization.

In some embodiments, when a user first uses the display device, if he wants to view the media channels using the display device, he needs to search the media channels to provide the user with various media channels, considering that the display device may not enter relevant information of the media channels.

The display device may have a media asset channel searching function, and the user may input a media asset channel searching instruction to the display device to control the display device to search for a media asset channel. After searching for the media channels, the display device may generate a media channel list and display the media channel list to the user, so that the user selects a certain media channel for viewing.

When watching a media program corresponding to a certain media channel, the user can control the display device to switch and display other media channels by pressing a switching key, such as an up key and a down key, of the control device so as to watch different media programs.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to switch different media channels, the display device may display a media channel interface to the user, where all media channels searched by the display device may be included in the media channel interface, so that the user intuitively determines all media channels, and thus switches.

The user may control the display device to display the media asset channel interface. For example, when a user views a media program being played on a certain media channel, the user may control the display device to call up the media channel interface, so as to select a certain media channel for switching. For another example, the user may control the display device to directly call the media channel interface so as to select a media channel for viewing. The user can control the display device to call out the media information channel interface in the system UI interface of the display device, and can also send a response instruction to the display device by utilizing a preset key on the control device so that the display device calls out the media information channel interface.

Considering that the display device can search the media information channel first and then generate the media information channel interface according to the acquired information to be displayed to the user if the user instructs the display device to display the media information channel interface under the condition that the display device never searches the media information channel, the user can be considered to input the media information channel searching instruction to the display device currently.

In some embodiments, upon receiving the media asset channel searching instruction, the controller 250 of the display device may search the server of the cable television provider for media asset channels, thereby acquiring media asset channels that the display device is capable of displaying.

Specifically, the controller 250 may generate and transmit a media asset channel acquisition request to the server. After receiving the media information channel acquisition request sent by the display device, the server can count the media information channel information of all the media channels, and the media information channel information can include media information channel names and media information channel attribute information of the response media channels. The server may feed back all of the media channel information to the display device.

In some embodiments, cable providers are different considering the different regions in which the display devices are located, resulting in different cable providers providing different media channels. Therefore, when the display device acquires the media information channels, the influence of regional factors can be considered, and the media information channels in the local region can be acquired, so that the situation that the media information channels in other regions are acquired to cause playing failure is avoided.

The controller 250 may acquire network information of the display device when generating the media channel acquisition request. The network information may be an IP address of the display device, capable of representing geographical location information of the display device. The controller 250 may generate a media channel acquisition request carrying network information of the display device and transmit to the server. After receiving the media information channel acquisition request sent by the display device, the server can determine the geographic position information of the display device according to the network information of the display device, so as to determine the target region where the display device is located. The server can acquire the media information channel information corresponding to the target region and send the media information channel information to the display device.

In some embodiments, when searching for the media information channel, the display device may search according to the frequency point corresponding to the media information channel. The frequency points are used to represent signal frequency, each media information channel corresponds to a fixed frequency point, and multiple media information channels can also correspond to the same frequency point, for example, one frequency point may have 3 media information channels or 5 media information channels.

The controller 250 may first obtain frequency point information corresponding to the media information channel, including a plurality of searchable frequency points. The controller 250 may transmit a frequency point information acquisition request to the server in consideration of the influence of the geographical factor, and the server may transmit frequency point information of the current geographical area to the display device.

Controller 250 may perform a media channel search based on the bin information. The searching may be performed sequentially on the media information channels corresponding to each frequency point according to a preset sequence, for example, a sequence from small to large frequency values corresponding to the frequency points, so as to obtain all media information channel information in each frequency point.

The controller 250 may send a media channel acquisition request carrying a frequency point value to the server, and the server may send all media channel information corresponding to the frequency point to the display device. The controller 250 may acquire the media information channel information corresponding to the next frequency point again until all the information corresponding to the frequency points are acquired, which indicates that the media channel searching is finished.

In some embodiments, after obtaining the media information channel information, the controller 250 may determine the media channel names corresponding to all the media channels. The controller 250 may generate the media channel interface based on all of the media channel names. FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic diagram of a media asset channel interface in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 6, the media channel interface includes media channel controls corresponding to all media channels searched by the display device. The user may select one of the media channel controls and confirm that the controller 250 may control the display 260 to display the media channel corresponding to the media channel control, thereby enabling the user to view the media program being played in the media channel.

When the user selects a certain media channel for viewing, that is, the user inputs an instruction for playing the media program, the controller 250 may acquire media program data of the media program. Controller 250 may control display 260 to display the media program data, such as displaying the media program full screen.

In some embodiments, in view of the fact that the media channel control presented in the media channel interface does not enable the user to determine the media program being played on that media channel, to enhance the user's use experience, the display device may also present a cable interface to the user so that the user may preview the media program being played on a particular media channel to enable the user to determine whether to view the media channel.

Fig. 7 illustrates a schematic diagram of a cable television interface in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 7, the cable interface includes a preview window and a media channel list. The user may select a particular media channel, such as media channel 1, from a list of media channels on the right side of the cable interface. And the preview window on the left side of the cable television interface can display the media information channel 1 selected by the user for the user to preview. The user can determine the currently selected media program in the media channel according to the preview window, so as to decide whether to watch the media channel. When the user determines that viewing of the media asset channel is desired, the user may click on the preview window and the controller 250 controls the display 260 to display the media asset channel full screen for viewing by the user.

In some embodiments, while playing the asset program in the display device, the user may not want to continue to view the asset program, but rather want to browse the web page resources, such as viewing web assets. At this point, the user may choose to switch the media programs to web pages. For example, the user may control the display device to exit playing the asset program, return to the system main interface, and open the browser, and the user may browse the web page in the browser, or may watch the web asset on demand.

When the display device opens the browser, the browser may run various interactive applications. The interactive application may be a website platform provided by a network provider, and the interactive application itself may be in the form of a web page, and may provide various web pages to the display device. After the browser runs a certain interactive application, the controller 250 may control the display 260 to display the interactive application, that is, display a web page corresponding to the website platform. The user can select a certain network media resource to play in the webpage corresponding to the interactive application.

It should be noted that, considering that when the user controls the display device to switch the media program into the web page, the mode of first exiting the media program and then opening the browser is complicated, in order to facilitate the user operation, the display device in the embodiment of the present application has a web page recommendation function. When a user plays the media information program by using the display device, the display device can display a certain webpage to the user while playing the media information program, so that the user can view the webpage while watching the media information program, the media information program can be conveniently and rapidly switched into various webpages, and the use experience of the user is improved. The display device may be provided with a web page recommendation mode. The user can input a webpage recommendation mode instruction to the display device, namely, an instruction for instructing the display device to display network media details, so as to control the display device to enter a webpage recommendation mode. After the display device enters the web page recommendation mode, the display device may turn on the web page recommendation function to display the details of the web page.

In some embodiments, the user may send the web page recommendation mode instructions to the display device by operating a designated key of the remote control. And pre-binding the corresponding relation between the webpage recommendation mode instruction and the remote controller key in the actual application process. For example, a key of a web page recommendation mode is set on the remote controller, when the user touches the key, the remote controller sends a web page recommendation mode command to the controller 250, and at this time, the controller 250 controls the display device to enter the web page recommendation mode. When the user touches the key again, the controller 250 may control the display device to exit the web page recommendation mode.

In some embodiments, the user may send a web page recommendation mode instruction to the display device by way of voice input using a sound collector of the display device, such as a microphone, to control the display device to enter a web page recommendation mode. The display device can be provided with an intelligent voice system, and the intelligent voice system can recognize the voice of the user so as to extract instruction content input by the user.

In some embodiments, the web page recommendation mode instructions may also be sent to the display device when the user controls the display device using the smart device, such as using a cell phone. In the actual application process, a control can be set in the mobile phone, whether to enter the webpage recommendation mode can be selected through the control, so that a webpage recommendation mode instruction is sent to the controller 250, and the controller 250 can control the display device to enter the webpage recommendation mode.

A webpage recommendation mode option can be further set in a UI interface of the display device, and when a user clicks the option, the display device can be controlled to enter or exit the webpage recommendation mode.

In some embodiments, to prevent the user from triggering the web page recommendation mode by mistake, when the controller 250 receives the web page recommendation mode instruction, the display 260 may be controlled to display the web page recommendation mode confirmation information, so that the user performs a secondary confirmation as to whether to control the display device to enter the web page recommendation mode. FIG. 8 illustrates a diagram of display of web page recommendation mode confirmation information in display 260 in some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the user may cause the display device to switch displaying web content, such as sending a web recommendation mode instruction to the display device, while the display device is playing a media program. Because the web page is provided by the interactive application, the interactive application needs to be launched to display the web page. At this time, it can be considered that the user inputs an instruction indicating to start the interactive application.

Interactive application service is one of the cores of ATSC 3.0. The interactive application information is contained in the code stream of the media asset channel, and changes along with the code stream of the media asset channel, and different channels contain different interactive applications, subject to the limitations of ATSC3.0 standard a344 (interactive application protocol) itself.

It should be noted that each media asset channel may be associated with a specific interactive application, for example, media asset channel a may be associated with interactive application a and media asset channel B may be associated with interactive application B. When a certain interactive application needs to be started, the corresponding media information channel needs to be switched to so as to acquire the code stream information of the media information channel; alternatively, when a certain media asset channel is played, if the user instructs to start the interactive application, the interactive application associated with the media asset channel is started.

The association relation between the media asset channel and the interactive application can be pre-stored in a server of the cable television provider, and when the server issues the media asset channel information to the display device, the application information of the interactive application associated with the media asset channel can be sent to the display device together. Therefore, after the user inputs an instruction for playing the media program to the display device, the controller 250 may acquire the application information associated with the media channel corresponding to the media program while acquiring the media program data of the media program. The media asset channel information sent by the server may include both media asset program data and interactive application information.

The interactive application information may be web page information corresponding to the interactive application, and may record a plurality of resource information in the web page, for example, network media information, text information, picture information, and the like. The server may package and transmit the media asset data and the interactive application information to the display device.

After receiving the media asset program information sent by the server, the controller 250 may first control the display 260 to display the media asset program data in full screen to play the media asset program.

After receiving the start instruction of the interactive application, that is, after the user instructs to start the interactive application, the controller 250 may generate an interactive application interface based on the interactive application information and control the display 260 to display the interactive application interface. The interactive application interface may include a media asset display area and a web page recommendation area. The media resource display area can display media resources in a small window mode, can display media resource programs and can also display network media resources. The webpage recommendation area comprises a plurality of webpage controls, each webpage control corresponds to one piece of resource information of a webpage, and the webpage controls can be network media resource controls, text controls or picture controls.

When controlling the display 260 to switch from displaying the media asset program full screen to displaying the interactive application interface, the controller 250 may control the media asset program data to be displayed in the media asset display area of the interactive application interface. When the user selects to play a certain network media asset, the media asset display area can be switched from the media asset program to display as the network media asset. FIG. 9 illustrates a schematic diagram of an interactive application interface in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 9, the upper right corner of the interactive application interface is a media resource display area, and when the user instructs the display device to display the media resource recommendation interface while the display device plays the media resource program a, the media resource display area continues to display the media resource program a. The interactive application associated with the media resource channel corresponding to the media resource program A is the interactive application a, and the media resource recommendation interface can also display the webpage content in the interactive application a, including a plurality of webpage controls, such as the webpage content A and the network media resource A-network media resource E.

In some embodiments, the user may perform various interactions with the interactive application interface to select to browse web pages or continue to view the asset program. For example, if the user does not have a need to view a web page and the media asset display area is displaying a media asset program, the user may click on the media asset display area or press the return key of the remote controller and the controller 250 may control the display 260 to re-display the media asset program full screen. The user may also click on a web page control in the interactive application interface, and the controller 250 may control the display 260 to display the web page content corresponding to the web page control.

It should be noted that, because of the one-to-one binding relationship between the media resource channel and the interactive application, when the user uses the display device to play a certain media resource channel, the user may not know what the interactive application corresponding to the media resource channel is, and the content of the interactive application can be determined after the interactive application is started by controlling the display device. Therefore, if the user wants to browse the web pages corresponding to different interactive applications, the user needs to continuously switch media information channels to start the corresponding interactive applications, and the user cannot directly switch the interactive applications, so that the operation is complicated, and the use experience is poor. Meanwhile, when a user wants to start a specific interactive application, the user needs to know the media information channel corresponding to the interactive application, and if the user does not determine the corresponding relation between the media information channel and the interactive application, the user needs to switch the media information channel for multiple times to check a plurality of interactive applications, so that the use experience of the user is seriously affected.

Therefore, the display device provided by the embodiment of the application can acquire the interactive application related information of all the interactive applications which can be started, so that the interactive application condition is displayed to the user, and the user can directly start the interactive application without switching media information channels, so that the user experience is improved.

S1001, responding to a media information channel searching instruction, and acquiring frequency point information corresponding to a media information channel, wherein the frequency point information comprises a plurality of frequency points;

s1002, performing media resource channel searching based on the plurality of frequency points to obtain media resource channel information;

s1003, acquiring a media resource channel list and an interactive application list based on the media resource channel information, and controlling a display to display the media resource channel list; the media resource channel list comprises a plurality of media resource channels, and the interactive application list comprises a plurality of interactive applications;

s1004, responding to a query instruction of the interactive application list, and controlling a display to display the interactive application list;

s1005, in response to a user selection operation of a target interactive application, acquiring interactive application starting information of the target interactive application, and starting the target interactive application based on the interactive application starting information.

Considering that the interactive application information exists in the code stream of the media information channel, the media information channel information needs to be acquired first to acquire the interactive application information. Therefore, the display device can directly acquire the interactive application information of all the interactive applications in the process of searching the media resource channel, but not acquire the interactive application information corresponding to the media resource channel when playing the media resource channel, so that all the interactive application information can be acquired in advance to show the interactive application condition to the user.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may search the media information channel corresponding to each frequency point in turn according to the frequency point information of the media information channel, so as to obtain the media information channel information corresponding to each frequency point.

The controller 250 may obtain the channel linked list SLT corresponding to each frequency point, where the channel linked list includes media information of all media channels corresponding to the frequency point. The media asset channel information may include media asset program information of a media asset channel and interactive application information of an interactive application associated with the media asset channel. The media information program information is information related to the media channel, and may include information such as an IP address and a port number of the media channel, and may also include a link layer signaling table (LinkLocal Signaling, LLS) and a signaling link selection (Signaling Link Selection, SLS). The SLS mainly records the related information of the audio and video data currently played by the media information channel, and the data such as audio and video corresponding to the media information channel can be further acquired through the table; the LLS records the shorthand information of all media information channels, the channel searching process is mainly based on the table, and meanwhile, the IP address and the port number of the media information channels can further query the SLS table.

The interactive application information is information related to the interactive application associated with the media asset channel, and may include entry page location description information (HTML Entry pages Location Description, HELD) of the interactive application. HELD is a descriptive text composed of hypertext markup language (Hyper Text Markup Language, HTML) commands that can be used to describe words, graphics, animations, sounds, tables, links, etc.

The controller 250 may complete the media information channel searching according to the acquired media information channel information to obtain a media information channel list including a plurality of media information channels; the interactive application situation that the display device can start can also be obtained, and can be an interactive application list comprising a plurality of interactive applications.

The controller 250 may parse the media asset channel information to obtain media asset program information and interactive application information. Controller 250 may obtain a media asset channel list based on the media asset program information and may also obtain an interactive application list based on the interactive application information.

The controller 250 may first present the user with a list of media channels, considering that the user is currently instructed to search for media channels. The controller 250 may first obtain a link layer signaling table LLS based on the media asset program information, where abbreviated information of the media asset channel, such as a name and a channel number of the media asset channel, is recorded. The controller 250 may acquire the asset channel names of all asset channels based on the link layer signaling table LLS and generate an asset channel list based on all asset channel names. The media asset channel list may be in the form of fig. 6, and the controller 250 may generate one media asset channel control for each media asset channel and generate the media asset channel list based on all of the media asset channel controls.

In some embodiments, controller 250 may control display 260 to display a list of media asset channels to enable the user to determine what media asset channels the display device is capable of displaying. The user can select any one of the media information channel controls in the media information channel list so as to enable the display device to play the corresponding media information channel. In the embodiment of the application, the media resource channel selected by the user is called a target media resource channel.

In response to the user's selection operation of the target media resource channel, the controller 250 may obtain the service layer signaling table SLS of the target media resource channel based on the media resource program information of the target media resource channel, and because the service layer signaling table records the related information of the audio and video data corresponding to the media resource channel, the data such as the audio and video of the media resource channel may be obtained through the table. Accordingly, the controller 250 may acquire the media asset program data of the target media asset channel, including the video data and the audio data of the currently played media asset program of the target media asset channel, based on the service layer signaling table SLS. The controller 250 may control the display 260 to display the media program data, may cause the display 260 to display the video data, and may cause the audio device of the display device to play the audio data, so that the user may view the target media channel.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may obtain the interactive application condition that the display device is capable of starting according to the interactive application information to generate the interactive application list.

The interactive application information may include a HELD of the interactive application, and the controller 250 may parse the HELD, so as to determine, according to the HELD, the interactive application corresponding to the current media resource channel. The controller 250 may obtain all interactive applications according to the interactive application information corresponding to all media channels.

After determining all interactive applications that the display device is capable of launching, the controller 250 may generate a list of interactive applications. The interactive application list comprises interactive application controls corresponding to each interactive application.

In some embodiments, a user may query the display device for interactive application conditions, and may input instructions to the display device to query the interactive application list. In response to a query instruction for the interactive application list, the controller 250 may control the display 260 to display the interactive application list. FIG. 11 illustrates a schematic diagram of an interactive application list in some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 11, the interactive application list may include all interactive applications that the display device is capable of launching, including interactive application A-interactive application D.

The user can select a certain interactive application control, so as to control the display device to start the interactive application corresponding to the control. In the embodiment of the application, the interactive application selected by the user is called a target interactive application. In response to a user's selection of the target interactive application, the controller 250 may acquire interactive application starting information of the target interactive application and start the target interactive application based on the interactive application starting information.

The interactive application start information is information required for starting the interactive application. The interactive application may include two types, one being a broadband application, which is an interactive application that requires a display device to be able to be started after connecting to a network. The other is a broadcast application, which is an interactive application that the display device can start without connecting to a network.

The interactive applications of different types, whose interactive application start information is different. For broadband applications, the display device may launch the broadband application by accessing the network. The broadband application may correspond to a web portal, which may be a web site link of a web page to which the broadband application corresponds. The controller 250250 may acquire a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a corresponding web page of the broadband application and determine the uniform resource locator as a web page portal of the broadband application. Controller 250 may launch the broadband application by accessing the web portal. I.e. the interactive application start information of the broadband application is a web portal.

For the broadcast application, since it does not require the display device to connect to the network, in order to start the broadcast application, it is required that the display device has a resource file corresponding to the running broadcast application, and the resource file may be an NRT file. The controller 250 may download the resource file and start the broadcasting application according to the resource file, that is, interactive application start information of the broadcasting application is the resource file.

Accordingly, the controller 250 may acquire the interactive application starting information of the target interactive application to start the target interactive application.

In some embodiments, to obtain the interactive application start information, the controller 250 may first obtain the media resource channel corresponding to the target interactive application, and obtain the media resource channel information corresponding to the media resource channel, which is referred to as target media resource channel information in the embodiments of the present application.

Controller 250 may obtain interactive application information for the target interactive application based on the target media asset channel information, which in the embodiments of the present application is referred to as target interactive application information.

The controller 250 may acquire the type of the target interactive application based on the target interactive application information. By parsing the HELD in the interactive application information, the type of interactive application can be determined.

If the type is a broadband application, the controller 250 may acquire a target web portal based on the target interactive application information and determine the target web portal as interactive application launch information.

If the type is a broadcast application, the controller 250 may acquire a target resource file based on the target interactive application information and determine the target resource file as interactive application start information.

Based on the interactive application start information, the controller 250 may start the target interactive application. In some embodiments, the interactive application start information of the interactive application may be stored in advance, considering that it may take a long time to acquire the interactive application start information of the interactive application after the user instructs to start the interactive application.

If the interactive application is a broadband application, the display device can respond to the user instruction faster because the interactive application starting information is a web portal, i.e. a web site link, and the time required for acquiring the web portal is shorter. However, if the interactive application is a broadcast application, the interactive application start information is a resource file, and the controller 250 needs to download the resource file to start the interactive application, however, downloading the resource file may take a long time, resulting in slower response of the display device and reduced use experience of the user. Thus, for broadcast applications, the controller 250 may pre-download its resource files to respond quickly to user instructions.

After the user instructs the display device to play the first media asset channel, the controller 250 may acquire the media asset program data of the first media asset channel and control the display 260 to display the media asset program data so that the user can watch the first media asset channel. Meanwhile, the controller 250 may pre-download a resource file of the broadcasting application, and may pre-store a web portal of the broadband application.

In response to the play command of the first media information channel, the controller 250 may obtain a frequency point corresponding to the first media information channel, which is referred to as a first frequency point in the embodiment of the present application, where the first frequency point is also a frequency point where the display device currently receives a signal. The controller 250 may acquire and store the interactive application start information of the interactive applications corresponding to all media channels in the first frequency point.

The controller 250 may first obtain a channel linked list of the first frequency point, which is referred to as a first channel linked list in this embodiment, where the channel linked list includes media information of all media channels in the first frequency point. The controller 250 may obtain the media program data corresponding to the first media channel and control the display 260 to display the media program data so as to play the first media channel.

The controller 250 may further determine the interactive applications corresponding to all media channels in the first frequency point based on the first channel linked list, which is generally referred to as a first interactive application in the embodiment of the present application, and the controller 250 may obtain first interactive application information of the first interactive application.

The controller 250 may acquire the portal page position description information HELD of the first interactive application based on the first interactive application information. The controller 250 may parse the HELD to obtain a type of the first interactive application.

If the type is a broadband application, controller 250 may obtain the first web portal based on the HELD, which may record a web site link for the broadband application. Controller 250 may determine the first web portal as interactive application launch information for the first interactive application.

If the type is a broadcast application, the controller 250 may acquire the first resource file based on the first interactive application information. For a broadcast application, its interactive application information may include S-TSID (service-based transport session description) information from which a resource file of the broadcast application may be acquired. That is, the controller 250 may download a first resource file of the first interactive application based on the S-TSID information and determine the first resource file as the interactive application start information of the first interactive application.

The controller 250 may store the interactive application starting information of the first interactive application to a preset database, and when the user instructs to start a certain first interactive application, the controller 250 may directly obtain the interactive application starting information from the database to start the first interactive application.

Therefore, when a user indicates to play a certain media resource channel, the display device can acquire the interactive application starting information of the interactive applications corresponding to all the media resource channels under the frequency point corresponding to the media resource channel, and the resource file is pre-downloaded, so that the user instruction can be responded quickly when the user indicates to start the interactive applications.

In some embodiments, the user may switch to other media channels for viewing during the process of viewing the media channels, and the controller 250 may detect the frequency point condition of the two media channels, so as to determine whether the resource file needs to be pre-downloaded.

When the user instructs the display device to switch the first media information channel to the second media information channel, that is, the user inputs an instruction for switching to play the second media information channel, the controller 250 may obtain a frequency point corresponding to the second media information channel, which is referred to as a second frequency point in this embodiment.

If the first frequency point is the same as the second frequency point, the first media resource channel and the second media resource channel belong to the same frequency point, and the resource file of the first interactive application corresponding to the first frequency point is pre-downloaded before, and the interactive application corresponding to the second media resource channel is also a first interactive application, so that the interactive application starting information is stored in the database, and the resource file does not need to be downloaded again at the moment.

If the first frequency point is different from the second frequency point, the first media resource channel and the second media resource channel belong to different frequency points. The controller 250 has already downloaded the resource file of the first interactive application corresponding to the first frequency point, but has not yet downloaded the resource file of the second interactive application corresponding to the second frequency point, and at this time, needs to continue downloading the resource file under the second frequency point.

The controller 250 may update the second frequency point to the first frequency point, and re-download the resource file corresponding to the new first frequency point, which is not described in detail.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may also select whether to obtain interactive application start information for all interactive applications, depending on the current memory condition of the display device.

In the process of searching the media information channel, after acquiring the media information channel information and analyzing the media information channel information, the controller 250 may acquire the current memory of the display device.

If the current memory is greater than the preset memory threshold, the controller 250 may acquire the type of the interactive application based on the interactive application information. The controller 250 may obtain interactive application start information for different types of interactive applications. For broadband applications, controller 250 may obtain web page portals based on the HELD and determine to launch information for the interactive application. For broadcast applications, the controller 250 may download a resource file based on the interactive application information and determine to launch information for the interactive application. The controller 250 may store the interactive application starting information of all the interactive applications to a preset database.

If the current memory is less than or equal to the preset memory threshold, in order to ensure that the display device operates normally, the controller 250 may not acquire the interactive application start information, wait until the user instructs to start the interactive application, and acquire the interactive application start information again, or may pre-download the interactive application start information under the frequency point of the media asset channel being played.

In some embodiments, when acquiring the interactive application start information of the target interactive application, the controller 250 may first detect whether the interactive application start information is already stored in the preset database.

If the interactive application starting information of the target interactive application exists in the database, the interactive application starting information can be directly acquired.

If the interactive application start information of the target interactive application does not exist in the database, the controller 250 may acquire the interactive application start information again, and specific steps are not described herein.
