Embodiment 1

[0041] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for channel preview, which can be implemented jointly by the network TV and the background server, such as figure 1 As shown, the processing flow at the IPTV side may include the following steps:

[0042] Step 101, the Internet TV receives a channel preview instruction, and starts the preview TV wall.

[0043] Step 102, during the process of starting the preview video wall, the IPTV sends an image acquisition request to the background server, and the background server acquires the image frame of the live video stream currently playing on at least one channel, and sends it to the IPTV.

[0044] Step 103, the IPTV receives the image frame of the live video stream currently played by at least one channel sent by the background server.

[0045] In step 104, the IPTV displays the received image frames in the display partitions in the preview video wall while displaying the preview video wall.

[0046] Such as figu...

Embodiment 2

[0052] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for previewing channels, which can be implemented jointly by the network TV and the background server. IP TV can be connected to the network through a network cable or wirelessly based on its own integrated network function; IP TV can also be connected to a TV box, and the network function can be realized through the TV box. The Internet TV may preferably be a smart TV, and the smart TV may be equipped with an operating system and may install various applications. The background server may be the background server of the preview video wall application in the Internet TV, and the background server may provide background services for the system functions of the Internet TV, and may also provide background services for one or more applications in the Internet TV.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method, a device and a system for performing channel surfing, and belongs to the technical field of electronics. The method includes that a network television receives a channel surfing instruction, and starts a surfing television wall; in the process of starting the surfing television wall, the network television sends an image acquisition request to a background server, and the background server acquires image frames of currently played live video streaming of at least one channel and sends the image frames to the network television; the network television receives the image frames, of the currently played live video streaming of the channels, sent by the background sever; and the network television displays the received image frames in display partitions in the surfing television wall while displaying the surfing television wall. By adoption of the method, the device and the system, channel selecting efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electronic technology, in particular to a method, device and system for previewing channels. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of network technology and electronic technology, Internet TV has been gradually popularized and developed, and has become a new common way for people to watch TV. Internet TV is a TV with the function of obtaining live video streams of various TV channels from resource servers through the Internet. [0003] Internet TV generally has the function of "preview TV wall (or TV wall for short)".
