Information source management method and system for a smart TV

Abstract

The present invention discloses a source management method and system of a smart television. The method is used for managing sources used by applications of a smart television operating system, and comprises the steps that an application source management list of pre-stalled applications of a television is first established, and a corresponding label of a newly-installed application is added to a configuration file of the system so as to indicate a source required to be used by the application; a system application package management procedure acquires the newly-installed application and source information thereof from the configuration file and writes the application and the source information thereof into the application source management list; a smart television application retrieves from the application source management list when being started, and is started after the source of the source information is switched if the source information of the smart television application exists, and an operating system default source is adopted otherwise. According to the method, source information of the smart television applications is stored into the source management list, and switching of sources is realized according to using source information stored in the list during start, thereby realizing uniform management of system sources, and avoiding the situation where one application program operates under different sources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a smart TV, in particular to a method and system for managing information sources of a smart TV. Background technique [0002] In recent years, smart TVs have developed extremely rapidly, and the applications on smart TVs have been continuously enriched with the development of the Android system. Due to the needs of different applications, smart TVs have many sources, such as HDMI (high-definition multimedia signal), ATV (radio frequency Analog TV signal), DTV (digital TV signal), VGA (Video Graphics Array), etc. These sources provide multiple input channels and also provide users with multiple access methods. The Android operating system carried by smart TVs contains a variety of system functions and rich and colorful application scenarios, which may cause conflicts with TV sources. [0003] Assuming that the current TV source is ATV, there is an application to be started (for example, using multi-screen interaction t...

Problems solved by technology

The Android operating system on smart TVs contains a variety of system functions and rich and colorful application scenarios, which may cause scene conflicts with TV sources.

[0003] Assuming that the current TV source is ATV, there is an application to be started (for example, using multi-screen interaction to push a video to play), but the operating environment of the application requires an application source, which is characterized by the color of the application scene 1. For the sound in the application scenario, if the source is not switched, after entering the player to play the video, the sound of the video and the TV sound of the ATV will be mixed together, resulting in confusion of the TV signal output, which is obviously not the desired result of the user; and This problem can be solved by switching the signal source after the application enters, but in this way, the operation of switching the signal source must be added in each application, which has two disadvantages: 1. It adds a lot of repetitive work; 2. The current manufacturer The provided switching source interface is not uniform, each application must maintain multiple versions, and this is just to switch the source
