Application interface display method and set-top box

Abstract

The invention relates to an application interface display method and a set-top box. The present invention creates a ring cache to first transfer and cache the interface display application and interface display data submitted by the application, and then continuously obtains the latest interface display application in the ring cache through monitoring, and calls the UpdateScreen operation to execute the latest interface display application in one execution After the execution is completed, only the latest interface display application will be executed next time, while the interface display application waiting in line during the last display process will not be executed, and the interface display application during the UpdateScreen operation display process will be ignored, thereby avoiding queuing The waiting interface shows that there are too many applications and it takes a long time to be executed. It solves the problem of serious lag caused by too many applications displayed on the waiting interface, which greatly ensures the smoothness of the application interface display and greatly improves User experience satisfaction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to an application interface display method and a set-top box. Background technique [0002] At present, when the set-top box displays the application interface, it mainly adopts the method of direct submission and waiting for display, that is, the application directly calls the UpdateScreen operation of the driver layer (updates the application image or interface to the display), and then waits for the UpdateScreen operation to complete before the previous interface is displayed. The next interface will be displayed. [0003] Usually, the UpdateScreen operation takes about 50ms to execute once, and the application generally calls this operation directly, and each execution will directly take up about 50ms of the application. If the application operates slower than this time, the sluggishness will not be seen. However, if the application interface display performs rapid change and update,...

Problems solved by technology

However, if the application interface display performs rapid change and update, and the application operation speed is higher than 50ms, the UpdateScreen operation will be called continuously. Since the UpdateScreen operation is exclusive (only one application is allowed to call at the same time), this will cause queued calls on the application interface display. The UpdateScreen operation phenomenon occurs, that is, the application interface display freezes, resulting in slow response of user operations

Especially when a multi-threaded application calls the UpdateScreen operation at the same time, the display of the application interface is particularly obvious and serious, which greatly affects the smoothness of the application interface display and directly leads to a decrease in user experience satisfaction.
