Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of smart TV compatible transplanted application programs, and in particular to a transplanted application program interface switching method, device and equipment based on a smart TV. Background Art

[0002] As the resolution of Android phones increases, the resolution of corresponding image resources will also increase. Due to the objective factor that the hardware iteration speed of TV devices is slower than that of mobile phones, some Android smart TVs cannot run the ported APP due to low memory during operation, especially when switching to the new interface, problems such as freeze and long loading time will occur.

[0003] Specifically, the hardware configuration of TV devices is usually lower than that of mobile phones. When porting mobile phone applications, such as games, to TV devices, one of the current mainstream methods is to produce additional low-profile resources to reduce the hardware requirements for TV devices.

[0004] The disadvantage of this method is that although it reduces the clarity and resource size to meet the operating scenarios of mid- and low-end TV devices, it will increase the workload of mobile game research and development and the subsequent maintenance costs, resulting in limited coverage of mobile APPs on TV. On the other hand, it will also make it difficult for the ported application to meet the user experience requirements on TV devices. Summary of the invention

[0020] In at least one possible implementation manner, the dynamic resource numbering further includes:

[0021] When reading each resource number in the current interface, determine whether the reading is successful;

[0022] If the reading fails, the unnumbered resources in the current interface will be numbered;

[0040] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar numbers throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be interpreted as limiting the present invention.

[0041] As mentioned above, when a mobile phone or cloud APP needs to be ported to a TV device, due to the small running memory and slow memory reading and writing speed of the TV device, when the interface is switched after the APP is started, the resources of the next interface need to be loaded first before the resources of the current display interface can be released. That is, in the interface switching stage, at least all the resources of the previous and next interfaces must be loaded into the memory. At this time, the running memory of the TV device will reach its peak, resulting in long loading time, black screen, flash back and other problems.

[0042] In view of this, the present invention proposes an embodiment of a method for switching application program interfaces based on a smart TV. Specifically, Figure 1shown, including:

[0043] Step S1: When the TV terminal switches the application program interface, before loading the resource of the interface to be switched, read the resource numbers of the interface before switching and the interface to be switched;

[0044] Regarding the resource number in the interface, in actual operation, there are at least three configuration methods:

[0045] Method 1: The first numbers of all interfaces of the application can be pre-set, and the corresponding second numbers can be set for all resources in each interface, and an index table can be established using the first number and the second number and stored in the TV terminal. In this embodiment, when the application is run, based on the first number of the current interface obtained, the second numbers of all resources in the interface can be obtained by looking up the table.

[0046] Method 2: When the application is run for the first time on the TV, each resource in the current interface is numbered. When switching to the next interface, after releasing the resources of the current interface, the resources of the next interface are loaded and numbered. For example, but not limited to, the resource information of the current interface in the memory can be obtained (achieved by scanning the memory resource path), and then the HashCode ID corresponding to each resource is generated according to the obtained resource information, and saved in the TV; and the resource numbering in all interfaces is completed by analogy. Regarding method 2, it can be pointed out that dynamic numbering is performed during the first operation of the transplanted application on the TV, and in order to avoid memory peak, when switching interfaces, the resources of the interface before switching are first released, and then the resources of the interface to be switched are loaded. Although this process may have certain disadvantages, it can be understood as the first numbering link of the program to ensure that the number can be effectively obtained during the subsequent actual operation of the program.

[0047] Method three: when reading the resource numbers in the current interface, determine whether the reading is successful; if the reading is not successful, it means that some resources in the current interface have not been numbered, so they can be numbered according to the measures mentioned in method two and saved in the TV end; then by analogy, when switching to the next interface, before loading the resources of the next interface, number them based on the mechanism of whether the resource number is read successfully, and then release the resources of the previous interface and load the resources of the current interface (that is, the next interface mentioned above) to complete the interface switching. It should also be pointed out here that method three can be used both when running the application for the first time and in the subsequent actual running of the application. Especially for the latter, for example, when randomly generated resources appear, the flexibility of method three can be reflected.

[0048] Step S2, compare the resource numbers of the interface to be switched with the resource numbers of the interface before switching (that is, the previous interface of the interface to be switched); (Those skilled in the art can understand that the interface before switching does not exist for the first interface, so this embodiment does not target the loading process of the first interface) In actual operation, before performing the comparison operation, the resource numbers of the interface before switching and the interface to be switched can be sorted in a unified format or order so as to efficiently and accurately complete the subsequent comparison processing.

[0049] Step S3, retaining the corresponding resources in the pre-switching interface with the same comparison result in the storage unit of the TV end, and releasing other resources in the pre-switching interface; (when the comparison result indicates that there are no identical resources, all resources of the switcher interface are released).

[0050] Step S4, only load the corresponding resources in the to-be-switched interface with different comparison results into the storage unit; (when the comparison result representation is missing, that is, there are no other different resources in the to-be-switched interface except the resources that are the same as the interface before switching, then this step does not load the actual resources).

[0051] Step S5: Complete interface switching based on the reserved resources and the loaded resources.

[0052] In summary, the main design concept of the present invention is to give corresponding numbers to all resources in each interface of the application, and to give priority to the resources of the interface before switching in the memory by comparing the difference in the resource numbers before and after when actually running the application, and to propose a mechanism of releasing first and then loading, so as to load specific resources when the interface is switched in a targeted manner, thereby avoiding the situation where repeated loading of resources causes excessive operating burden, and thus reducing the probability of causing the memory on the TV side to reach a peak value and cause a series of problems. When the present invention runs the transplanted application on the TV side, it can significantly reduce the requirements for the peak value of the TV running memory, thereby improving the coverage of the transplanted application on the TV device and meeting the user's experience requirements on the TV side. In addition, it can also greatly reduce the R&D and maintenance costs of the application.

[0056] The pre-switching interface resource processing module 203 is used to retain the corresponding resources in the pre-switching interface with the same comparison result in the storage unit of the TV end, and release other resources in the pre-switching interface;

[0057] A resource loading module 204, used for loading only the corresponding resources in the to-be-switched interface with different comparison results in the storage unit;

[0058] The interface switching module 205 is used to complete the interface switching based on the reserved resources and the loaded resources.
