Fig. 4 is a software configuration diagram of a display device 200 according to some embodiments of the present application, and in some embodiments, a system of the display device 200 may be divided into three layers, namely, an application layer, a middleware layer, and a hardware layer from top to bottom.

The application layer mainly comprises common applications on the television, and an application framework (Application Framework), wherein the common applications are mainly applications developed based on Browser, such as: HTML5 APPs; native applications (Native APPs);

the application framework (Application Framework) is a complete program model with all the basic functions required by standard application software, such as: file access, data exchange, etc., and the interface for the use of these functions (toolbar, status column, menu, dialog box).

Native applications (Native APPs) may support online or offline, message pushing, or local resource access.

The middleware layer includes middleware such as various television protocols, multimedia protocols, and system components.

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

In some embodiments, the display device 200 may load various applications based on a browser, so that a user browses page information and plays media asset data through the browser-loaded applications.

In integrating the browser application, the application party provides the URL address of the application, and then integrates the application into the browser according to the URL address of the application. In the integration process, some applications may have special parameter configuration requirements, such as font types, frame display, buffer space values, etc., and some display devices 200 may perform parameter configuration in the code according to URL addresses in a hard judgment manner, that is, write parameter configuration information into the code, so that the parameter configuration information in the code is read when the application is loaded.

However, in the above method, when a new application is on line or an existing application needs to update parameters, the display device 200 is required to perform a system upgrade update, such as a code overall upgrade update, which affects the on-line speed of the application in the browser and reduces the processing efficiency of the application.

In order to solve the problems of low online speed and low processing efficiency of an application in a browser, some embodiments of the present application provide a display device 200, where the display device 200 includes at least a display 260, a communicator 220, a detector 230, and a controller 250, where the display 260 is configured to display a user interface, the communicator 220 is configured to establish a communication connection with the server 400, and the detector 230 is configured to detect an update status of a configuration file and/or a cloud application list of the application.

The application aims at configuring each application through the server, generating a configuration file at the server, then sending a file downloading address of the configuration file to the display equipment, downloading the configuration file to the local through the file downloading address by the display equipment, and configuring the browser according to the configuration file, so that the dependence of the display equipment is reduced, and the processing efficiency of the display equipment is improved. In addition, when the application of the server side changes, the changed content can be updated to the display equipment side without updating the whole machine, so that the processing efficiency of the display equipment can be improved.

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present application, the following details of each step are described with reference to some specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a browser configuration method provided in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, a controller 250 in a display device 200 is configured to execute the following steps S1 to S4, which specifically includes:

step S1: in response to the update instruction, the display apparatus 200 generates a target application list.

Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of generating a local application list according to some embodiments of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, before the display device 200 generates the target application list, the following flow needs to be executed. In response to the first power-on instruction of the display apparatus 200, the display apparatus 200 issues a list request instruction to request an application list. In some embodiments, a request instruction of a cloud application list may be sent to the server 400, that is, the cloud, and after the server 400 receives the request instruction, a receipt signal is fed back to the display device 200, and after the display device 200 obtains the receipt signal fed back to the list request instruction, the cloud application list may be downloaded according to the receipt signal, and the downloaded cloud application list is stored locally, so as to generate a local application list.

The cloud application list is generated at the server 400, and in some embodiments, after the server obtains the applications to be deployed, the server may deploy configuration files of each application. A cloud application list may be generated according to the configuration file, where the cloud application list may include a file download address of the configuration file, so that after the server 400 sends the cloud application list to the display device 200, the display device 200 may download each application according to the file download address. When the configuration file and/or the cloud application list change, for example, when a certain application updates, the configuration file changes, when a certain application changes the URL address, the file download address in the cloud application list may change, and when the configuration file and/or the cloud application list changes, an update instruction may be generated, so that the server 400 may send the update instruction to the display device 200, or a reminder pops up at the server 400 end to remind the display device 200 that the application has change information.

It should be noted that, in the process of deploying the respective applications by the server 400, different configurations may be performed for each application. A particular configuration is performed if there is a particular need for an application. For example, some applications may have requirements for font styles, cache space, application rights, such as advertising rights, payment rights, account rights, etc., for which targeted configuration may be performed.

When the configuration file and/or the cloud application list at the server 400 end change, or the display device 200 requests the cloud application list, the server 400 may send the cloud application list to the display device 200, so that the display device 200 generates the target application list in response to the update instruction. It may be understood that the target application list is a set of applications that change in the cloud application list, and the target application list also includes a file download address of an application in the list, where the file download address is a download address corresponding to a configuration file of the application, so that the display device 200 may download a corresponding application according to the download address.

Fig. 7 is a schematic flow chart of generating a target application list according to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 7, in some embodiments, the target application list may be generated as follows. First, the display device 200 reads the update status of the configuration file and/or the cloud application list to determine the change condition of the configuration file and/or the cloud application list at the server 400. If the configuration file and/or the cloud application list change, the display device 200 downloads the cloud application list again. That is, as soon as the configuration file and/or the cloud application list at the server 400 is detected to change, the display device 200 downloads the cloud application list again, so as to ensure that the cloud application list downloaded by the display device 200 is up-to-date when the configuration file and/or the cloud application list change. After the local application list has been generated and downloaded to the latest cloud application list, the latest cloud application list and the local application list may be compared to generate the target application list.

Fig. 8 is a schematic flow chart of comparing a cloud application list and a local application list according to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 8, in some embodiments, the cloud application list and the local application list may be compared as follows. It should be noted that, the display device 200 traverses the cloud application list and the local application list, where the cloud application list is the latest local cloud application list downloaded by the display device 200 after detecting that the configuration file of the server 400 and/or the cloud application list changes, and the content contained in the latest local cloud application list is completely consistent with the cloud application list. The local application list is a list of applications stored locally before updating. For example, in fig. 8, the cloud application list contains application 1 and application 2 … … application n, where n is a positive integer, and the local application list contains application 1 and application 2 … … application m, where m is a positive integer, and it is understood that m and n may be the same or different. When m and n are the same, the cloud application list in the server 400 is the same as the local application list stored locally, and it may be determined that the application deployed in the server 400 is not updated or has no newly added application. When m and n are different, it indicates that the cloud application list in the server 400 is different from the local application list stored locally, it may be determined that the application deployed in the server 400 has an update or has a new application, and then the updated or new specific application may be found by comparing.

After traversing the cloud application list and the local application list downloaded to the local, the display device 200 may screen out a change list that exists in the cloud application list and does not exist in the local application list, which may be understood that the change list is the changed content, and then may generate a target application list according to the change list, which may be understood that the target application list is a set of changed and newly-added applications.

Step S2: the display device 200 downloads the configuration file of the application according to the file download address.

In the above embodiment, the target application list includes the file download address, which is the download address corresponding to the configuration file of the application, so that the display device 200 can download the configuration file of the corresponding application according to the download address.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 may download the configuration file of the application according to the following. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a profile downloading process provided in some embodiments of the present application, and as shown in fig. 9, the display device 200 may download a profile by: the display apparatus 200 traverses the target application list so that the file download address of the application can be acquired, and the display apparatus 200 can download the configuration file of the application according to the file download address. Meanwhile, in order to store the downloaded configuration file locally, the display device 200 may also set a storage directory of the configuration file, such as the folder 111 under the D-disc in fig. 9, so that the display device 200 may download the configuration file into the storage directory, that is, the folder 111, according to the file download address, for the browser to read and call the configuration file under the folder when configuring.

Step S3: the display device 200 parses the configuration file, generates a parsed file, and configures a browser according to the parsed file.

In some embodiments, after the display device 200 downloads the configuration file, the configuration file may be parsed, and a parsed file may be generated according to the result of the parsing, and finally, the browser may be configured according to the parsed file. The configuration file includes at least one configuration item, and the step of generating the parsing file by the display device 200 in executing the parsing configuration file may be implemented as follows. The display device 200 traverses the configuration file and then reads the configuration items in the configuration file, which may include a set of various configurations for the application, such as a configuration including various fields, etc., parses the configuration items to generate a parsed file based on the results of the configuration items.

Step S4: in response to launching the application, the display device 200 controls the browser to display a display page generated from the configuration file.

After the display device 200 configures the browser according to the parsed file, the browser may display a display page generated according to the configuration file after receiving a start instruction to start the application. It should be noted that, when the configuration file and/or the cloud application list of the server 400 are not changed, that is, when the deployed application of the display device 200 is not changed, the browser may directly start the display page corresponding to the application after receiving the start instruction for starting the application. When the configuration file and/or the cloud application list of the server 400 change, a target application list is generated, and it can be understood that the applications in the target application list are the set of each application that changes. In response to starting an application in the target application list, the display device 200 may read a configuration file corresponding to the changed application, reconfigure the browser according to the changed configuration file, that is, dynamically manage the configuration of the browser in the display device 200, and then control the browser to display a display page generated according to the latest configuration file.

As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the display device 200 provided in the foregoing embodiments may implement dynamic management of application configuration of a browser, and dynamically update application configuration of a browser at a display device side when detecting that a configuration file and/or a cloud application list at a server side changes by deploying each application configuration at the server side, so that updating and upgrading of an overall code at the display device side may be reduced, and problems of slow online speed and low processing efficiency of applications in the browser are solved.

In order to facilitate further understanding of the technical solutions in the foregoing embodiments of the present application, a method for configuring a browser is further described below with reference to some specific examples.

In some embodiments, the server 400 may configure different configuration items for different applications at the cloud end, so as to reduce the number of code upgrades of new applications at the display device end by configuring the different configuration items at the cloud end, i.e. the server end. In some embodiments, the configuration item may be a collection of launch items at the time of application launch in the browser, which may be a json format file. For example, it may be an attachment to appin_config. Referring to table 1, table 1 is a field and a field description corresponding to some example startup items included in a cloud configuration item, when the cloud configures the startup items of each application, each field in the configuration item may be extended, and after the extension and the configuration are completed, a configuration file may be formed in the cloud. In this way, the display device may download the configuration file from the cloud.

The fields in table 1 are only exemplary, and are not limited to the contents of the fields in table 1, and may be set according to practical situations, which is not limited to this application.

Table 1: some example startup items included in cloud configuration items correspond to fields and field descriptions

In this way, by configuring each application at the cloud, different applications can be correspondingly expanded, and compared with the code form, the mode does not need to modify or completely update the code at the display equipment end, and only needs to be set in advance at the cloud. When the cloud end changes, the display equipment end can download the updated part, and the browser is configured according to the latest configuration file, so that code upgrading is not required to be executed due to the change of the newly added application or part of the application.

To configure various applications in the browser, a variety of functional modules may be deployed in the display device 200. Fig. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of functional modules deployed by a display device according to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 10, in some embodiments, a download module, a UI interface module, an application management module, a browser engine module, and a browser application module may be deployed in the display device 200. The download module is used for downloading an application list and/or a configuration file, the UI interface module is used for starting each application and sending starting information to the application management module, the application management module is used for scheduling the starting and exiting of the application and the like, the starting information is sent to the browser engine module from the UI interface module, the browser engine module is used for analyzing and configuring the starting information, the results after starting and configuring are sent to the browser application module, and the browser application module displays an application interface according to the configuration results.

With continued reference to fig. 10, in some embodiments, after completing configuration of each application and generating a configuration file and a cloud application list, the server 400 may notify the download module of the display device 200, and when the configuration file and/or the cloud application list change, the server 400 may generate an update instruction, and send the update instruction to the download module of the display device 200, or wait for the download module to detect the update instruction. After detecting the update instruction, or after receiving the update instruction sent by the server 400, the downloading module downloads the latest cloud application list, generates a target application list, downloads the latest application configuration file according to the target application list, and stores the configuration file in a designated directory, for example, stores the configuration file in the folder 111. Meanwhile, the display device 200 may set a naming rule for the configuration file, and the downloaded configuration file may be named according to the designated naming rule and then stored in the display device 200. After the download module of the display device 200 downloads the latest configuration file, the UI interface module reads the configuration file and transmits the configuration information to the browser engine module through the application management module. After receiving the configuration file, the browser engine module can analyze the relevant configuration information in the configuration file, set relevant parameters and the configuration information to the browser kernel, enable the browser configuration to be effective, and realize dynamic management of the browser application configuration. Thus, when the display device 200 starts an application, the browser application module displays an application interface configured according to the latest configuration file.

In the above embodiment, the cloud application list includes the file download address of the configuration file, for example, the file download address may be configured in a field, and the field includes the URL address of the application configuration, and when the download module downloads the application list, the file download address is obtained. The download module downloads the configuration file to the local according to the file download address, the UI interface module reads the latest configuration file content when starting the application and sends the relevant configuration information to the browser, so that the latest configuration file can be used as a data basis when starting the application, and the whole machine is not required to realize code upgrading.

In some embodiments, the application configuration comprises a rights configuration. For example, permission fields in table 1 may perform permission configuration, may perform permission configuration for payment of the whole machine, advertisement, account, and the like, and preset when the cloud executes application configuration. Therefore, when the browser calls the application, the application can be checked with preset authorities, so that the application without authorities can be prevented from calling authorities such as complete machine payment, and the safety of equipment application is ensured.

In some embodiments, when each application is deployed, the cloud end may configure configuration information of the application on a content delivery network (Content Delivery Network, CDN), and when the cloud end sends the application information to the display device, the cloud end may carry a file download address of the CDN file. For example, the cloud end may configure the browser application parameters in a CDN file manner, and when an application update or a display device side issues a list request instruction, send the CDN file and a file download address to the display device 200. After receiving the CDN file and the file download address, the display device 200 may download the configuration file according to the file download address, and store the configuration file locally. For example, the downloaded configuration file is file a, and after the downloading is completed, file a is stored in a local designated directory. The browser engine module analyzes the application configuration information of the file A and sets related parameters. Meanwhile, whether the file A has authority setting or not can be judged, and if the file A does not have authority setting, the browser application module can directly start the application. If the authority is set, the configuration information of the file A is transmitted to the UI interface module through the application management module, the UI interface module executes the operation of the authority setting such as payment login and the like according to the configuration information, and the operation result of the UI interface module is returned to the browser engine module through the application management module. And after receiving the operation result of the UI interface module, the browser engine module sends the operation result to the browser application module, and finally, the browser application module executes a corresponding flow according to the operation result.

When configuring the browser according to the configuration file, the configuration file needs to be stored in a designated readable directory, and a certain naming rule can be set. It should be noted that, when the display device 200 locally stores a configuration file of an application, the browser may display a corresponding display page according to the configuration file. However, when the application is updated, the latest configuration file needs to be downloaded, and after the configuration file is downloaded, the browser can be configured according to the latest configuration file, and the latest display page can be displayed. Therefore, in some embodiments, the display device 200 may also monitor the download status of the configuration file of the application in the target application list, and determine the display page of the browser according to the download status.

Fig. 11 is a flowchart of displaying a corresponding display page according to a download status according to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 11, where in some embodiments, the download status of the configuration file may include a download complete status and a download incomplete status. The display device 200 may present different display modes according to different download states of the configuration file, first, it may determine whether the configuration file is downloaded, and then determine whether the configuration file is empty under a preset storage directory, so as to perform different display according to different situations, which will be described below.

In some embodiments, if the download status of the configuration file is the download completion status, the display device 200 controls the browser to display a display page generated according to the downloaded configuration file, and the display page at this time is a display page generated according to the latest configuration file.

In some embodiments, if the download status of the configuration file is in an incomplete download status and the current configuration file is not empty, which indicates that the configuration file before update exists in the directory corresponding to the configuration file and the latest configuration file has not been downloaded, the display device 200 controls the display 260 to display the first prompt window. Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of a first prompt window provided by some embodiments of the present application for controlling display pop-up of a display device, as shown in fig. 12, for example, the content of the prompt of the first prompt window may be "the latest configuration file has not been downloaded yet" to prompt the user that some functions of the current application are not available, but since the application has a previous configuration file, the application may be opened, that is, the display device 200 controls the browser to display a display page generated according to the current configuration file, that is, the configuration file before updating.

In some embodiments, if the download status of the configuration file is in a download incomplete status and the current configuration file is empty, which indicates that the application may be a newly added application, and no configuration information of the application is yet available in the display device 200, when the download of the configuration file is incomplete, a display page cannot be generated, and the display device 200 controls the display 260 to display the second prompt window. Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of a second prompt window provided by some embodiments of the present application and controlling a display to pop up, as shown in fig. 13, when downloading of a configuration file of a new application is not completed, the display device 200 may control the browser not to display a display page, for example, the content prompted by the second prompt window may be "the configuration file of the new application is not yet downloaded and cannot display page information", so as to prompt the user that some functions of the current application are temporarily unavailable. It is easy to understand that when the download state of the configuration file is changed from the incomplete state to the download completed state, the display device 200 may control the browser to directly display the display page of the application.

In some embodiments, if the download status of the configuration file is updated from the download incomplete status to the download complete status, indicating that the configuration file has been downloaded, the display apparatus 200 may read the target application list and insert the application in the target application list into the local application list to update the local application list. In this way, the target application list is a set of changed or newly added applications, and after the set of changed or newly added applications is inserted into the local application list, the local application list includes the original application which is not updated, the updated application and the newly added application, and after the set of changed or newly added applications is inserted, the local application list is consistent with the cloud application list of the server 400, so that each application in the display device 200 is guaranteed to be in the latest state, that is, the dynamic configuration of each application in the browser is completed.

It should be noted that, the above is only exemplified by browser configuration, and the configuration flow of the application in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to browser application, but may be other local applications, which is not specifically limited to this application.
