Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to a method for playing content on a terminal display screen, as well as the terminal and intelligent playback system. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, videos are often played synchronously on various display screens and other terminals in shopping malls and other venues to facilitate advertising or product display.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, the playback process on current display screens is typically managed and controlled centrally by an administrator. This includes uploading resources to create playlists for playback, such as videos, PowerPoint presentations, advertisements, or product demonstrations. The entire playback process is controlled by the administrator, who also uploads resources, making it impossible to adjust in a timely manner to meet user needs. Furthermore, traditional methods result in low utilization rates for display screens, and the promotional costs for users on these screens are relatively high.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a playback method and terminal for a terminal display screen to improve the utilization rate of the display screen and thus better meet the user's needs is a technical problem that this invention urgently needs to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings or deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to provide a playback method and terminal for a terminal display screen, so as to improve the utilization rate of the display screen and thus better meet the user's usage needs.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a method for playing content on a terminal display screen, comprising:

[0007] According to the preset time period allocation rules, the playback time of the area to be played is divided into several playback time periods;

[0008] Each playback period should be linked to at least one independently controlled playback account;

[0009] Based on the playback account, a corresponding list of resources to be played is obtained, and the corresponding resources are played. Each resource is uploaded to the terminal through the corresponding playback account, and a corresponding resource list is generated.

[0010] Furthermore, preferably, the step of binding each playback period to at least one independently controlled playback account includes:

[0011] Bind the area to be played to multiple preset and independent playback accounts;

[0012] Based on the preset permission allocation rules, set the priority and playback permissions for each playback account;

[0013] Based on the preset binding rules and the priority of the playback account, the corresponding playback time period is bound respectively.

[0014] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the step of binding corresponding playback time periods according to preset binding rules and the priority of the playback account includes:

[0015] Based on preset usage efficiency rules, set the efficiency level for each playback period;

[0016] Based on the efficiency level, the playback account corresponding to the priority will be bound to the playback time period.

[0017] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the step of binding corresponding playback time periods according to preset binding rules and the priority of the playback account includes:

[0018] Determine whether the number of playback accounts bound to the area to be played is less than or equal to the number of playback time slots to be bound;

[0019] If so, according to the priority order of the playback accounts, different preset playback time periods will be bound in sequence;

[0020] If not, the higher-priority playback account will be bound to the corresponding playback time slot, and the lower-priority playback account will be bound to the unbound playback time slot, until all unbound playback time slots are bound, at which point the binding operation will end.

[0021] Furthermore, preferably, after the step of binding each playback period to at least one independently controlled playback account, the method further includes:

[0022] According to the preset screen allocation rules, the display area of ​​the terminal is divided into at least two independent playback areas.

[0023] Each area to be played is bound to its corresponding playback account.

[0024] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the step of dividing the display area of ​​the terminal into at least two independently playable areas according to a preset screen allocation rule includes:

[0025] Determine if the number of playback accounts bound to the currently selected playback area is greater than 1;

[0026] If yes, then determine whether the selected area to be played is in a playing state; otherwise, continue to determine the next area to be played until the loop ends.

[0027] If not, determine whether the currently described playback area is bound to the first playback account;

[0028] If the corresponding first playback account has been bound, determine whether the first playback account has authorized the unbinding permission;

[0029] If authorized, the binding will be removed, and according to the preset allocation rules, the non-playing area to be played will be bound to the backup second playback account to play the corresponding resources.

[0030] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the step of unbinding if authorized, and binding the non-playing area to a backup second playback account according to a preset allocation rule to play the corresponding resource includes:

[0031] Unbind the first playback account from the area that is not in a playback state;

[0032] Bind the second playback account to the area that is not in a playback state and is yet to be played;

[0033] Determine if the number of the second playback accounts is greater than 1;

[0034] If so, the playback order of each second playback account is determined according to the set priority order of each second playback account or a random allocation algorithm, so as to play the corresponding resources until the first playback account is activated. Then, the second playback account and the non-playing state waiting area are unbound, and the first playback account and the non-playing state waiting area are rebound.

[0035] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the step of binding each playback area to its corresponding playback account includes the following steps before proceeding:

[0036] Determine whether the playback accounts bound to different playback areas within the same time period are the same;

[0037] If so, continue to determine whether each area to be played is located in an adjacent playback area that can form a rectangle;

[0038] If so, the various areas to be played will be merged into one playback interval until the playback interval is bound to two different playback accounts, at which point the playback interval will be re-divided into the initially set areas to be played.

[0039] Further, preferably, the resource is a video file or a still image file.

[0040] This application also provides a terminal, including: a processor and a display screen electrically connected to the processor; wherein the processor is configured to execute the playback method of the display screen of the terminal to play a corresponding resource list on the playback area of ​​the display screen.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the display screen playback method, terminal, and intelligent playback system provided in this application can improve the utilization rate of the display screen, thereby better meeting the user's usage needs. Attached Figure Description

[0048] Figure 6 : A schematic diagram of the division of the area to be played in the first embodiment of the present invention; Detailed Implementation

[0049] The following will further explain the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of the present invention.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a playback method for a terminal display screen, which can be applied to video playback on one or more terminals. The playback method for the display screen includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S10: Divide the playback time of the area to be played into several playback periods according to the preset time period allocation rules;

[0053] Step S20: Bind each playback period to at least one independently controlled playback account;

[0054] Step S50: Obtain the corresponding list of resources to be played according to the playback account, and play the corresponding resources. Each resource is uploaded to the terminal through the corresponding playback account, and a corresponding resource list is generated.

[0055] The above steps allow the display screen to independently divide playback time slots according to needs and bind different independent playback accounts. This enables better time-sharing rental of playback time slots, allowing different users to independently upload or update the resources they need to play through their playback accounts, generate playlists, and loop playback within the corresponding playback time slots. Therefore, the entire process does not require unified uploading or adjustment by the administrator, which can attract more users and reduce rental costs. Thus, it not only facilitates user operation but also improves the utilization rate of the display screen, thereby better meeting user needs.

[0056] Furthermore, this method significantly reduces rental costs for users because the playback time for each rented account is limited, thereby attracting more users to invest.

[0057] Furthermore, preferably, the step of binding each playback period to at least one independently controlled playback account, i.e., step S20, includes:

[0058] Step S201: Bind the area to be played to multiple preset and independent playback accounts;

[0059] Step S202: Set the priority and playback permissions for each playback account according to the preset permission allocation rules;

[0060] Step S203: Bind the corresponding playback time period according to the preset binding rules and the priority of the playback account.

[0061] By following the steps above, multiple different and independent playback accounts can be bound to the playback area. By setting the priority of each playback area and matching the playback time slots corresponding to each playback area according to the corresponding binding rules, conflicts that may occur when two accounts are bound to the same playback time slot during the matching and binding process can be avoided, thereby improving the matching efficiency and meeting user needs, such as the allocation of playback time slots for users with different benefits, or the situation where different accounts used by the same user are repeatedly bound. This can handle the binding situation when there are a large number of users.

[0062] Obviously, it should be noted that this embodiment can also be implemented manually, binding corresponding playback accounts and playback time periods sequentially according to the priority of the playback accounts to meet diverse user needs. Playback permissions include the permission to customize and modify the content of uploaded resources. These permissions are obtained by binding corresponding authorization commands to different priorities. For example, based on priority levels, this embodiment has three levels of playback accounts: first-level, second-level, and third-level playback accounts, with priority decreasing sequentially. When the authorization command is 0, it is a first-level authorization command, allowing customization and modification of the uploaded resource content; when the authorization command is 1, it is a second-level authorization command, allowing customization and modification of the uploaded resource content; and when the authorization command is 2, it is a third-level authorization command, allowing customization and modification of the uploaded resource content. The first-level authorization command can be bound to any priority playback account, the second-level authorization command can be bound to the next lower priority playback account (e.g., second-level and third-level playback accounts), and the third-lower priority playback account (e.g., third-level playback account). This method facilitates the allocation and automatic control of permissions for content published by playback accounts at different levels. By authorizing different levels of users—for example, within the same group—to manage and allocate permissions for playback accounts corresponding to superior and subordinate departments, superior departments can control the playback accounts of each level of department, while subordinate departments only have the authority to control playback accounts independently controlled by each department or those controlled by the next lower level department. This allows for the publication of content from different brands, such as the company brand and the product brands of sub-departments. The entire process can be completed without administrator intervention, with users allocating and deciding permissions themselves.

[0063] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the step of binding the corresponding playback time slots according to the preset binding rules and the priority of the playback account, i.e., step S203, includes:

[0064] Step S2031: Set the efficiency level for each playback period according to the preset usage efficiency rules;

[0065] Step S2032: Based on the efficiency level, bind the playback account with the corresponding priority to the playback time period.

[0066] Through the above steps, playback time slots of equal efficiency level and equal priority can be bound together. This facilitates automatic filtering and binding, improves binding efficiency, meets the usage needs of users with higher priority, makes the rental of playback time on the display screen more reasonable, and better protects the usage rights of users using the playback account. For example, this embodiment only uses three efficiency levels for illustration. PM 6:01~8:00 is the first playback time slot, PM 12:01~1:00 is the second playback time slot, and AM 0:01~2:00 is the third playback time slot, with the efficiency level decreasing sequentially for each playback time slot. The first-level playback account is bound to the first playback time slot, the second-level playback account is bound to the second playback time slot, and the third-level playback account is bound to the third playback time slot. Obviously, it should be noted that each playback period in this embodiment can consist of one playback duration or two interval playback durations, such as the playback duration from 6:01 PM to 8:00 PM and the playback duration from 9:01 PM to 10:00 PM, so as to bind the same playback account to two interval playback periods. Furthermore, the playback duration of each playback period is not limited to the above division method, and can also be divided according to other division methods.

[0067] In another preferred embodiment, the step of binding corresponding playback time periods according to preset binding rules and the priority of the playback account, i.e., step S203, includes:

[0068] Step S203a: Determine whether the number of playback accounts bound to the area to be played is less than or equal to the number of playback time slots to be bound;

[0069] Step S203b: If so, bind different preset playback time periods in sequence according to the priority order of the playback accounts.

[0070] Step S203c: If not, bind the higher priority playback account to the corresponding playback time period, and then bind the lower priority playback account to the unbound playback time period, until all unbound playback time periods are bound, and then end the binding operation.

[0071] This step enables automatic matching of playback accounts and playback time slots, without being limited by the number of playback accounts bound to a playback area. During the process of binding playback accounts to a playback area, there is no need to compare and calculate the number of playback accounts and the number of playback time slots corresponding to that playback area, which improves matching efficiency and facilitates management.

[0072] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the step of binding each playback period to at least one independently controlled playback account, i.e., before step S10, further includes:

[0073] Step S5: According to the preset screen allocation rules, divide the display area of ​​the terminal into at least two independent playback areas;

[0074] Step S6: Bind each playback area to the corresponding playback account.

[0075] By dividing the playback area into multiple playback zones and binding each zone to a corresponding playback account, it facilitates the rational allocation and utilization of the screen, especially on large screens, enabling simultaneous display and playback of resources from multiple users. For example, Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the playback area can be divided into four playback areas, such as playback area 1a, playback area 1b, playback area 1c, and playback area 1d. Obviously, the playback area in this embodiment can also be limited to four, five, or other numbers, and the size of each playback area can be the same or different to meet the actual needs of playback area division. Especially for irregularly shaped screens, they can be divided into playback areas of different sizes. Specific limitations and further details will not be provided here.

[0076] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, after step S20, the method further includes:

[0077] Step S303: Determine whether the number of playback accounts bound to the currently selected playback area is greater than 1;

[0078] Step S304: If yes, determine whether the selected area to be played is in a playing state; otherwise, proceed to step S309: continue to determine whether the next selected area to be played is in a playing state, until the loop determination ends.

[0079] Step S305: If not, determine whether the currently playing area is bound to the first playback account; otherwise, proceed to step S309.

[0080] Step S306: If the corresponding first playback account has been bound, determine whether the first playback account has authorized the unbinding permission;

[0081] Step S307: If authorized, the first playback account is unbound from the area to be played, and the area to be played that is not in a playback state is bound to the second backup playback account according to the preset allocation rules to play the corresponding resources; otherwise, proceed to step S309.

[0082] This step allows for the full utilization of the time gaps where playback accounts bound to the designated playback area fail to upload resources in a timely manner or need to change resources, thus missing the corresponding playback time slots. After authorization, the unused playback time can be rented out to a second playback account that requires short-term rental. The second playback account can then promptly utilize the unused playback time slots in the designated playback area to play the corresponding resources for product or campaign promotion. Simultaneously, this method reduces the rental time and costs for both the first and second playback accounts, effectively sharing costs and time to save time and money.

[0083] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first playback account and the second playback account can be the same user or different users.

[0084] Further, preferably, the resource is a video file or a still image file.

[0085] Furthermore, preferably, the terminal is a smart display screen or a digital display screen, used to display advertisements or promotional videos, etc.

[0086] Example 2

[0087] This embodiment also provides a terminal, including: a playback method using a display screen of the terminal executing the above embodiment 1.

[0088] The above steps allow the display screen to independently divide playback time slots according to needs and bind different independent playback accounts. This enables better time-sharing rental of playback time slots, allowing different users to independently upload or update the resources they need to play through their playback accounts, generate playlists, and loop playback within the corresponding playback time slots. Therefore, the entire process does not require unified uploading or adjustment by the administrator, which can attract more users and reduce rental costs. Thus, it not only facilitates user operation but also improves the utilization rate of the display screen, thereby better meeting user needs.

Different geographical locations can refer to the same residential area or shopping mall within different administrative regions, or they can be different locations within the same administrative region, such as different residential areas or shopping malls in the southeast, northwest, or other directions. Further specific limitations and elaborations will not be made here.
