Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of intelligent communication technology, specifically to WOC device management methods, apparatus, electronic devices, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] With the global rollout of Wireless One Connect (WOC) devices, the number of users of WOC devices is increasing, and multiple WOC display devices and WOC boxes may be working simultaneously in the environment, making the WOC environment more complex.

[0003] The current connection scheme for WOC devices is as follows: the user searches for WOC BOX on the display device and the list of found WOC BOXes and device identifiers is displayed. Then, the user selects the desired WOC BOX to establish a connection.

[0004] However, before the connection is established, users cannot see the signal source of the connected WOC BOX through the display device. Therefore, users must first confirm the signal source of the connected WOC BOX to determine if it is the correct one for them. Furthermore, although users can manually change the device identifier of the WOC BOX, this can lead to confusion when multiple WOC BOXes are present in the application scenario. When not connected to any WOC BOX, the WOC TV can only use the online app.

[0005] Therefore, the relevant implementation schemes cannot achieve WOC device management under the premise of non-sensory control of WOC BOX. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, this application provides a WOC device management method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium, which can automatically manage WOC devices without sensory control of the WOC BOX.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows: In one embodiment, a WOC device management method is provided, applied to the WOC display device in an interconnected cluster including a WOC BOX and a WOC display device; the method includes: In response to receiving the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the WOC display device, and the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source sent by each WOC BOX in the interconnected cluster, connection information of the WOC BOX is generated; the connection information of the WOC BOX includes: the association relationship between the signal source and the WOC BOX, the connection status of the WOC BOX, and the WOC display platform connected to the WOC BOX; The connection status of the WOC BOX is mapped to the connection status of the signal source, and different markers are used to output the signal sources in different connection statuses on the display screen.

[0008] The method further includes: Upon receiving a signal source selected via the display screen, the system determines the WOC BOX containing the signal source based on the WOC BOX's connection information. In response to the WOC BOX being connected to other display devices, the target WOC display device connected to the WOC BOX containing the signal source is determined based on the WOC BOX's connection information, and a WOC BOX release request is sent to the target WOC display device. In response to receiving a consent request message sent by the target WOC display device after releasing the WOC BOX, a connection operation with the WOC BOX is performed.

[0009] The method further includes: In response to receiving a rejection request message from the target WOC display device, and the target WOC display device agreeing to share the currently playing signal source image through the interconnection cluster, the system outputs a rejection message from the target WOC display device, as well as the signal source image. In response to receiving a rejection request message from the target WOC display device, and the target WOC display device does not agree to share the playing signal source image or is not playing the signal source image through the interconnection cluster, a target WOC display device rejection message is output.

[0010] The method further includes: In response to receiving a WOC BOX release request, the device identifier of the WOC display device that sent the release request and the signal source corresponding to the release request are output. If an input consent command is received, the connection with the WOC BOX where the signal source is located is disconnected, and a consent request message is sent to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request; If a rejection command is received, determine whether the signal source is being played. In response to the fact that the signal source is playing, output a request to whether you agree to share the video of the signal source; If an instruction to share the signal source screen is received, a rejection request message is sent to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request, and the signal source screen is shared through the interconnection cluster. If an instruction is received that the user does not agree to share the signal source image, or if the signal source is not being played, a rejection request message is sent to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request.

[0011] The method further includes: In response to the WOC BOX being in a state where no display device is connected, a connection operation with the WOC BOX is performed.

[0012] The method further includes: In response to the WOC BOX being in a connected state, the signal source is played directly.

[0013] The method further includes: Obtain connection recommendation information; wherein, the connection recommendation information is determined by the main WOC device in the interconnected cluster; the connection recommendation information includes the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source; the main WOC device is the WOC BOX or WOC display device in the interconnected cluster; If it is determined that the connection recommendation information is different from the current connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source, then the current connection relationship is updated using the connection recommendation information.

[0014] The generation of the connection recommendation information includes: Acquire monitoring data, wherein the monitoring data includes: time series data of the signal source of the WOC display device in the interconnected cluster within a preset time period; Based on the monitoring data, the time usage result of each signal source is predicted using a preset time prediction model; Analyze the predicted time usage results of each signal source to determine the index values ​​of each indicator corresponding to the usage trend and pattern of the signal source; The WOC BOX allocation value for each signal source is calculated by weighted summation of the index values ​​of each index for each signal source. Connection recommendation information is generated based on the WOC BOX allocation value, the number of signal sources, and the number of WOC BOXes.

[0015] The indicators of the signal source include: Signal source usage time characteristics, signal source type, signal source usage frequency, probability of signal source causing WOC BOX conflict, number of WOC BOX; Among them, the longer the signal source is used, the larger the value of the determined signal source usage time characteristic; The more signal sources of the same type there are, the smaller the value for determining the type of signal source. The more times a signal source is used, the higher the value indicating the frequency of signal source use. The more times and instances of WOC BOX collisions occur, the greater the probability that a given signal source will cause a WOC BOX collision. The more signal sources a WOC BOX is connected to, the smaller the value that determines the number of WOC BOXes; The weight corresponding to the probability of WOC BOX collision is greater than the weight corresponding to the signal source usage time feature and the signal source usage frequency; the weight corresponding to the signal source usage time feature and the signal source usage frequency is greater than the weight corresponding to the signal source type and the number of WOC BOXes.

[0016] The step of generating connection recommendation information based on the WOC BOX allocation value, the number of signal sources, and the number of WOC BOXes includes: Arrange the signal sources in descending order of their corresponding WOC BOX assignment values; If there is a signal source whose WOC BOX allocation value is greater than the preset value, allocate a separate WOC BOX for the signal source whose WOC BOX allocation value is greater than the preset value; For signal sources whose WOC BOX allocation value is no greater than the preset value, the remaining WOC BOXes are allocated in a load-balanced manner according to the order of WOC BOX allocation values ​​from largest to smallest.

[0017] In another embodiment, a WOC device management apparatus is provided, applied to the WOC display device in an interconnected cluster including a WOC box and WOC display devices; the apparatus includes: The receiving unit is used to receive the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the WOC display device, and the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source, sent by each WOC BOX in the interconnected cluster. A generation unit is used to generate connection information for the WOC BOX and map the connection status of the WOC BOX to the connection status of the signal source. The connection information of the WOC BOX includes: the association between the signal source and the WOC BOX, the connection status of the WOC BOX, and the WOC display platform connected to the WOC BOX. The output unit is used to output different labels on the display screen for signal sources in different connection states.

[0018] In another embodiment, an electronic device is provided, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements a WOC device management method when executing the program.

[0019] In another embodiment, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, implements a WOC device management method.

[0020] As can be seen from the above technical solution, by establishing an interconnected cluster for the WOC BOX and WOC display devices in the above embodiments, each WOC display device can generate WOC BOX connection information when it receives the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the WOC display device, as well as the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source, sent by each WOC BOX in the interconnected cluster. The connection status of the WOC BOX is mapped to the connection status of the signal source, and different markers are used to output different connection statuses of the signal sources on the display screen. This method can automatically manage WOC devices without requiring any sensory control of the WOC BOX. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe the order or sequence of objects. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating how users perceive signal sources in existing technologies. Figure 1 This includes the perceived content before the user connects to the WOCBOX, and the perceived content after connecting to the WOCBOX. Figure 1The example uses 3 WOC BOXes and 9 signal sources. Specifically, the signal sources connected to WOC BOX 1 (identified as 11111) are Source A, Source B, and Source C; the signal sources connected to WOC BOX 2 (identified as 22222) are Source D, Source E, and Source F; and the signal sources connected to WOC BOX 3 (identified as 33333) are Source G, Source H, and Source I.

[0027] Users cannot obtain information about the signal sources connected to a WOC BOX through the WOC display device; for example, for WOC BOX 1, identified as 11111, it is unknown whether the signal sources connected to it are Source A, Source B, and Source C. Therefore, the WOC display device cannot determine which WOC BOX to establish a connection with.

[0028] Therefore, the relevant technical solutions cannot yet achieve the connection between the WOC display device and the target signal source under the premise of non-sensory control of the WOC BOX.

[0029] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this application provides a method for managing WOC devices. By establishing an interconnected cluster between WOC BOXes and WOC display devices, each WOC display device can generate connection information for its WOC BOX upon receiving connection information between itself and a signal source from other WOC BOXes in the interconnected cluster. The connection status of the WOC BOX is mapped to the connection status of the signal source, and different markers are used to output different connection statuses of the signal sources on the display screen. This method enables automatic management of WOC devices without requiring any sensory control of the WOC BOXes.

[0030] In this embodiment, an interconnection cluster is established before connecting WOC devices. This interconnection cluster includes a WOC box and WOC display devices. In this embodiment, it is applied to a duplex WOC environment; therefore, the interconnection cluster includes at least one WOC box and multiple WOC display devices. The WOC display devices and WOC boxes communicate with each other within this interconnection cluster, enabling interconnection between the WOC display devices and WOC boxes before establishing a SoftAP Wi-Fi connection.

[0031] See Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of an interconnected cluster in an embodiment of this application. The interconnected cluster is illustrated by two WOCBOXes and two WOC display devices. WOC BOX 1 can communicate with WOC display device 1 and WOC display device 2; WOC BOX 2 can communicate with WOC display device 1 and WOC display device 2; WOC display device 1 can communicate with WOC BOX 1, WOCBOX 2, and WOC display device 2; and WOC display device 2 can communicate with WOC BOX 1, WOC BOX 2, and WOC display device 1.

[0032] In this interconnected cluster, a master WOC device is selected. In this embodiment, it is mainly used to collect monitoring information and generate connection recommendation information. The specific implementation will be described similarly below. The master WOC device can be a WOC box or a WOC display device in the interconnected cluster. In specific implementation, the selection of a WOC box or a WOC display device as the master device is determined based on the main location of the system. Here, the main location refers to the device where the main functions are deployed. That is, if the main functions are deployed in a WOC box, a WOC box is selected as the master device; if the main functions are deployed in a WOC display device, a WOC display device is selected as the master device. As for the specific implementation of which WOC box or WOC display device is selected as the master WOC device from among multiple WOC boxes, this embodiment does not impose restrictions. It can be implemented by configuration or by selecting the device communication in the interconnected cluster according to a certain function.

[0033] In this embodiment of the application, a WOC display device is selected as the main device as an example, such as... Figure 2 Taking WOC display device 1 as an example; the implementation process of selecting WOC BOX as the main device is similar to that of selecting WOC display device as the main device, and will not be described in detail in the embodiments.

[0034] Once the interconnected cluster is established, each WOC BO can periodically send its connection relationship with the WOC display devices and its connection relationship with the signal source to all WOC display devices in the interconnected cluster. Alternatively, it can send this information only when the connection relationships change. The period can be set according to the actual application scenario; for scenarios where connection relationships change frequently, a shorter period can be set; otherwise, a longer period can be set.

[0035] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the WOC device management process in an embodiment of this application. The specific steps are as follows: Step 301: In response to receiving the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the WOC display device, and the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source sent by each WOC BOX in the interconnected cluster, generate the connection information of the WOC BOX; the connection information of the WOC BOX includes: the association relationship between the signal source and the WOC BOX, the connection status of the WOC BOX, and the WOC display platform connected to the WOC BOX.

[0036] When the WOC Manager of each WOC display device receives the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the WOC display device, as well as the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source sent by the WOC BOX in the interconnected cluster, it parses and saves it as the connection information of the WOC BOX. The connection status of the WOC BOX includes: connection status with other display devices, no connection status with display devices, and connection status completed. The connection status with other display devices indicates that the WOC BOX containing the signal source is establishing a connection with other display devices. In this case, selecting the signal source will send a WOC BOX release request message to the WOC display device connected to the WOC BOX containing the signal source.

[0037] "No display device connection" means that the WOC BOX containing the signal source has not established a connection with any display device. In this case, selecting the signal source will automatically connect the WOC display device to the WOC BOX and play the signal source.

[0038] "Connection complete" means that the signal source connected to the WOC BOX has completed the connection with the WOC display device. In this case, the signal source can be played directly.

[0039] Step 302: Map the connection status of the WOC BOX to the connection status of the signal source, and use different markers to output the signal sources in different connection statuses on the display screen.

[0040] When mapping the connection status of the WOC BOX to the connection status of the signal source, each WOC display device will map the connection status of the WOC display device to the WOC BOX and the connection status of the signal source to be displayed, and output different markers on the display screen for the signal source with different connection statuses.

[0041] The specific mapping can be as follows: the connection status of a WOC BOX is mapped to the status of the signal source corresponding to the WOC BOX being connected to another display device and cannot be directly connected for playback. The status of the signal source corresponding to the WOC BOX is displayed through a first mark to indicate that it cannot be played directly. This can give the user a reminder so that the user can decide whether to select the signal source. The "No Display Device Connection" status in the connection status of a WOC BOX is mapped to the status of the signal source corresponding to that WOC BOX as "No Display Device Connection," indicating that the signal source has not been selected but can be directly selected to establish a connection for playback. The status of the signal source corresponding to that WOC BOX is displayed through a second marker, indicating that a direct connection can be established for playback. The "completed connection" status in the connection status of a WOC BOX is mapped to the status of the signal source corresponding to that WOC BOX, indicating that the WOC BOX corresponding to that signal source has established a complete connection with this display device and can be played directly. The status of the signal source corresponding to that WOC BOX is displayed through a third marker, indicating that the signal source can be played directly.

[0042] Among them, the first, second and third tags are different from each other, and a certain type of tag can be canceled, so as to be able to distinguish the three different connection states.

[0043] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the status of the signal source on the WOC display device in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 Taking the display interface showing 5 signal sources as an example, namely signal source 1, signal source 2, signal source 3, signal source 4 and signal source 5, with the first marker being a red border, the second marker being a blue border, and the third marker being a black border; among them, signal source 1 is marked with a red border to indicate that the signal source is connected to other display devices, signal source 2 is marked with a blue border to indicate that the signal source is connected, and signal sources 3, 4 and 5 are marked with black borders to indicate that the signal source is not connected to any display device.

[0044] In this embodiment, by establishing an interconnected cluster for the WOC BOX and WOC display devices, each WOC display device can generate connection information for its WOC BOX upon receiving connection relationships between itself and other WOC BOXes, as well as connection relationships between its WOC BOX and signal sources from the interconnected clusters. The connection status of the WOC BOX is then mapped to the connection status of the signal sources, and different markers are used to output different connection statuses on the display screen for each signal source. This method enables automatic management of WOC devices without requiring any sensory control of the WOC BOXes.

[0045] In specific implementation, after the interconnection cluster is established, the connection information message of WOC BOX is broadcast for the first time; when the connection information of WOC BOX is broadcast again in subsequent times, it can be a periodic broadcast or when there are changes in the relevant information of WOC BOX (information of signal source, information of WOC BOX, and connection status of WOC BOX). The specific timeframe can be determined according to the actual usage. In this embodiment, periodic broadcast is used as an example.

[0046] This application embodiment also adds a function to obtain connection recommendation information. When using this function, connection recommendation information can be obtained, and the connection recommendation information can be used to configure or update the association between WOC BOX and signal source. In specific implementation, whether this function is used is determined by the user.

[0047] If this function is needed, connection recommendation information can be obtained, which is determined by the master WOC device in the interconnected cluster; the recommendation information includes the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source; If the connection recommendation information is determined to be different from the current connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source, the current connection relationship is updated using the connection recommendation information; otherwise, the connection relationship is not updated.

[0048] In practice, the connection recommendation information can be obtained and stored by the main WOC device and directly obtained by each WOC display device, or the connection recommendation information can be generated based on the collected monitoring information when the WOC display device needs to obtain it. There are no restrictions on this implementation.

[0049] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of the main WOC device obtaining connection recommendation information in an embodiment of this application. The specific steps are as follows: Step 501: Obtain monitoring data, which includes: time series data of signal sources of WOC display devices in the interconnected cluster within a preset time period.

[0050] The WOC display device in the interconnected cluster monitors the playback signal source, obtains monitoring data, and sends the data it monitors to the main WOC device.

[0051] The main WOC device stores the monitoring data received from each WOC display device. When connection recommendation information needs to be obtained, it cleans the monitoring data within the relevant time period, deleting outliers and missing values, such as signal source data used for less than 1 minute; and performs preprocessing operations on the monitoring data.

[0052] Since the monitoring data is collected and stored as time series data in the form of WOC display device + time period + signal source, when using the preset time prediction model in this application embodiment for prediction, the monitoring data needs to be converted into a data format suitable for the preset time prediction model. For example, if the preset time prediction model is based on DCRNN, then the processed monitoring data needs to be converted into matrix data using a sliding window method, and then input into the preset time model for time prediction.

[0053] Step 502: Based on the monitoring data, predict the time usage result of each signal source using a preset time prediction model.

[0054] In this embodiment, the preset time prediction model uses the Diffusion Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (DCRNN) model as an example. DCRNN combines the advantages of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), enabling it to better handle complex temporal and spatial data. This DCRNN model extracts features from temporal and spatial data through convolutional layers, then captures the dependencies in the temporal data through recurrent layers to generate hidden states. Finally, the output layer transforms the hidden states into output results, predicting the time usage of each signal source.

[0055] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the timing usage result of a predicted signal source in one embodiment of this application. Figure 6 The document describes the usage of six signal sources (DTV, Apple TV, PS5, XBOX, LG TV, and Blu-ray Player) between Time 1 and Time 8. Figure 6 The data shows that DTV, Apple TV, and PS5 experience frequent conflicts during use; XBOX, LG TV, and Blu-ray Player also experience frequent conflicts during use.

[0056] Step 503: Analyze the predicted time usage results of each signal source, and determine the index values ​​of each indicator corresponding to the usage trend and mode of the signal source.

[0057] The metrics in this step include: signal source usage time characteristics, signal source type, signal source usage frequency, probability of signal source causing WOC BOX conflict, and number of WOC BOXes; Among them, the longer the signal source is used, the larger the value of the determined signal source usage time characteristic; The more signal sources of the same type there are, the smaller the value for determining the type of signal source. The more times a signal source is used, the higher the value indicating the frequency of signal source use. The more times and instances of WOC BOX collisions occur, the greater the probability that a given signal source will cause a WOC BOX collision. The more signal sources a WOC BOX is connected to, the smaller the value that determines the number of WOC BOXes; The weight corresponding to the probability of WOC BOX collision is greater than the weight corresponding to the signal source usage time feature and the signal source usage frequency; the weight corresponding to the signal source usage time feature and the signal source usage frequency is greater than the weight corresponding to the signal source type and the number of WOC BOXes.

[0058] For example, the weight corresponding to the signal source usage time feature is set to 20%, the weight corresponding to the signal source type is set to 10%, the weight corresponding to the signal source usage frequency is set to 20%, the probability of the signal source causing a WOC BOX conflict is set to 40%, and the weight corresponding to the number of WOC BOXes is set to 10%. This is just an example. The specific settings should be made according to the specific application scenario. There are no restrictions on this here.

[0059] Step 504: Calculate the WOC BOX allocation value for each signal source by weighted summation of the index values ​​of each index for each signal source.

[0060] Since this is a weighted summation calculation, the values ​​of each indicator are normalized to avoid inaccuracies caused by excessive differences due to different measurement standards.

[0061] The larger the value of the time characteristic of the determined signal source, the larger the calculated WOC BOX allocation value; The smaller the value of the identified signal source type, the smaller the calculated WOC BOX allocation value; The higher the value of the frequency used by the signal source, the higher the calculated WOC BOX allocation value; The higher the probability that a given signal source will cause a WOC BOX collision, the higher the calculated WOC BOX allocation value will be. The smaller the value that determines the number of WOC BOXes, the smaller the calculated WOC BOX allocation value.

[0062] Among them, signal sources with larger WOC BOX allocation values ​​are given priority in WOC BOX allocation.

[0063] Step 505: Generate connection recommendation information based on the WOC BOX allocation value, the number of signal sources, and the number of WOC BOXes.

[0064] The specific implementation of generating connection recommendation information based on the WOC BOX allocation value, the number of signal sources, and the number of WOC BOXes in this step includes: Arrange the signal sources in descending order of their corresponding WOC BOX assignment values; If there is a signal source whose WOC BOX allocation value is greater than the preset value, allocate a separate WOC BOX for the signal source whose WOC BOX allocation value is greater than the preset value; For signal sources whose WOC BOX allocation value is no greater than the preset value, the remaining WOC BOXes are allocated in a load-balanced manner according to the order of WOC BOX allocation values ​​from largest to smallest.

[0065] If a signal source has a very large WOC BOX allocation value, then a separate WOC BOX needs to be allocated to that signal source. If not, the WOC BOX is allocated in descending order using a load-balanced approach. This load balancing not only involves balancing the quantity and time of the WOC BOX, but also trying to avoid WOC BOX conflicts.

[0066] See Figure 7 , Figure 7 In response to Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the signal time usage result allocation WOC BOX. Figure 7 Taking the case where the assigned value of a WOC BOX without a signal source is no greater than a preset value as an example, there are six signal sources and three WOC BOXes. Based on the number of signal sources and WOC BOXes, each WOC BOX is assigned two signal sources. Then, the process is iterated according to the sorting results. Each iteration determines the starting point as the primary target. The two-dimensional feature vectors abstracted from subsequent secondary targets are mapped onto the primary target to reduce WOC BOX conflicts while meeting the optimal load requirement. Primary and secondary targets that meet the standard do not participate in subsequent iterations. After all iterations are completed, if WOC BOX conflicts cannot be avoided, the mapping with the smallest conflict period is selected. Figure 7DTV, Apple TV, and PS5 often conflict during use, so these three signal sources should ideally not be assigned to the same WOC BOX. Similarly, XBOX, LG TV, and Blu-ray Player also frequently conflict during use, so these three signal sources should also ideally not be assigned to the same WOC BOX. Based on these principles, WOC BOX 1 is assigned to DTV and Blu-ray Player, WOC BOX 2 to Apple TV and XBOX, and WOC BOX 3 to PS5 and LG TV. The final mapping result will then generate connection recommendation information.

[0067] At this point, connection recommendation information is generated based on the currently acquired monitoring data. Since the generation of this connection recommendation information takes into account the usage of relevant signal sources in the previous period, it can avoid WOC BOX conflicts as much as possible based on the usage situation, thereby avoiding frequent switching of signal source connections and improving user experience.

[0068] In a dual WOC (Wide Optical Container) scenario, multiple users may simultaneously connect different signal sources to the same WOC box, leading to WOC box conflicts. See also... Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a diagram illustrating a WOC BOX conflict. Figure 8 User A is connected to Source A via WOC BOX. When User B and User A want to view the content of Source B, Source A, or Source C through different WOC display devices, a WOC BOX conflict will occur when User B selects Source B, Source A, or Source C because Source A, Source B, and Source C are all connected to the same WOC BOX.

[0069] It is evident that the relevant implementation schemes cannot automatically connect the WOC display device to the WOC BOX where the signal source is located while handling WOC BOX conflicts.

[0070] The process of resolving WOC BOX conflicts in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] See Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a WOC device connection process in the event of a WOC BOX conflict, as illustrated in an embodiment of this application. The specific steps are as follows: Step 901: Receive the signal source selected via the display screen, and determine the WOC BOX where the signal source is located based on the WOC BOX connection information.

[0072] For a WOC display device, it will receive the signal source input by the user through a selection method.

[0073] The connection information of the WOC BOX includes the association between the signal source and the WOC BOX, the connection status of the WOC BOX, and the WOC display platform connected to the WOC BOX. Therefore, this connection information can be used to determine the WOC BOX where the signal source is located, the connection status of the WOC BOX, and the WOC display platform connected to the WOC BOX.

[0074] Step 902: In response to the WOC BOX being connected to other display devices, determine the target WOC display device connected to the WOC BOX where the signal source is located based on the WOC BOX connection information, and send a WOC BOX release request to the target WOC display device.

[0075] Upon receiving a WOC BOX release request, the target WOC display device outputs the device identifier of the WOC display device that sent the release request, as well as the signal source corresponding to the release request; The output here is the device identifier of the WOC display device that sent the release request, as well as the signal source corresponding to the release request, displayed on the screen of the target WOC display device, so that the user of the target WOC display device can determine whether to agree to release the WOC BOX.

[0076] If the target WOC display device receives the user's consent command, it disconnects from the WOC BOX where the signal source is located and sends a consent request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request. Step 903: In response to receiving the consent request message sent by the target WOC display device after releasing the WOC BOX, perform the connection operation with the WOC BOX.

[0077] The signal source connection operation here means that the WOC display device establishes a connection with the WOC BOX where the signal source is located. After the connection is completed, the WOC display device can control the playback of the signal source.

[0078] The specific connection process involves the WOC display device using the WOC BOX connection control module to establish a connection between the existing Wi-Fi module and the WOC BOX. Once the connection is complete, the WOC display device can control the playback of the signal source.

[0079] In this embodiment, by establishing an interconnected cluster between the WOC BOX and the WOC display device, each WOC display device can obtain the connection information of the WOC BOX. When selecting a signal source on a WOC display device, the connection status of the selected signal source's WOC BOX can be determined based on the WOC BOX's connection information. When the connection status is connected to another display device, a WOC BOX conflict is determined, and the target WOC display device connected to that WOC BOX is identified. A WOC BOX release request is sent to the target WOC display device. Upon receiving an agreement request message from the target WOC display device after releasing the WOC BOX, the connection operation with the signal source is executed. This method can automatically establish a connection between the WOC display device and the WOC BOX containing the signal source while handling WOC BOX conflicts.

[0080] See Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of another WOC device connection process in the case of WOC BOX conflict in this application embodiment. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1001: Receive the signal source selected via the display screen, and determine the WOC BOX where the signal source is located based on the WOC BOX connection information.

[0081] For a WOC display device, it will receive the signal source input by the user through a selection method.

[0082] The connection information of the WOC BOX includes the association between the signal source and the WOC BOX, the connection status of the WOC BOX, and the WOC display platform connected to the WOC BOX. Therefore, this connection information can be used to determine the WOC BOX where the signal source is located, the connection status of the WOC BOX, and the WOC display platform connected to the WOC BOX.

[0083] Step 1002: In response to the WOC BOX being connected to other display devices, determine the target WOC display device connected to the WOC BOX containing the signal source based on the WOC BOX connection information, and send a WOC BOX release request to the target WOC display device.

[0084] Upon receiving a WOC BOX release request, the target WOC display device outputs the device identifier of the WOC display device that sent the release request, as well as the signal source corresponding to the release request; The output here is the device identifier of the WOC display device that sent the release request, as well as the signal source corresponding to the release request, displayed on the screen of the target WOC display device, so that the user of the target WOC display device can determine whether to agree to release the WOC BOX.

[0085] If the target WOC display device receives the input consent command, it disconnects from the WOC BOX where the signal source is located and sends a consent request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request; If the target WOC display device receives the input rejection command, it determines whether a signal source is being played. In response to a currently playing signal source, output a request asking whether you agree to share the signal source's video feed; If the target WOC display device receives an instruction to agree to share the signal source screen, it sends a rejection request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request, and shares the signal source screen through the interconnection cluster. If the target WOC display device receives an instruction not to share the signal source screen, or is not playing a signal source, it sends a rejection request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request.

[0086] Step 1003: In response to the consent request message sent by the target WOC display device after releasing the WOC BOX, perform the connection operation with the WOC BOX. End this process.

[0087] The signal source connection operation here means that the WOC display device establishes a connection with the WOC BOX where the signal source is located. After the connection is completed, the WOC display device can control the playback of the signal source.

[0088] The specific connection process involves the WOC display device using the WOC BOX connection control module to establish a connection between the existing Wi-Fi module and the WOC BOX. Once the connection is complete, the WOC display device can control the playback of the signal source.

[0089] Step 1004: In response to receiving the rejection request message from the target WOC display device, and the target WOC display device agreeing to share the currently playing signal source image through the interconnect cluster, output the target WOC display device rejection message and the signal source image. End this process.

[0090] When the WOC display device is playing the signal source, the signal source image can be shared through the interconnect cluster. When other signal sources are playing, the signal source image of the signal source will not be shared.

[0091] Step 1005: In response to receiving a rejection request message from the target WOC display device, and the target WOC display device does not agree to share the playing signal source image or the non-playing signal source image through the interconnection cluster, output a target WOC display device rejection message.

[0092] In this embodiment, by establishing an interconnected cluster between the WOC BOX and the WOC display device, each WOC display device can obtain the connection information of the WOC BOX. When selecting a signal source on the WOC display device, the connection status of the selected signal source's WOC BOX can be determined based on the WOC BOX's connection information. If a WOC BOX conflict is determined based on the status, the target WOC display device connected to that WOC BOX is identified, and a WOC BOX release request is sent to that target WOC display device. Upon receiving an agreement request message from the target WOC display device after releasing the WOC BOX, the connection operation with the signal source is executed. Upon receiving a rejection request message and sharing the screen, the screen of the signal source is directly shared. This method can automatically establish a connection between the WOC display device and the WOC BOX containing the signal source while handling WOC BOX conflicts.

[0093] See Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the WOC device connection process in an embodiment of this application. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1101: Receive the signal source selected via the display screen, and determine the WOC BOX where the signal source is located based on the WOC BOX connection information.

[0094] For a WOC display device, it will receive the signal source input by the user through a selection method.

[0095] The connection information of the WOC BOX includes the association between the signal source and the WOC BOX, the connection status of the WOC BOX, and the WOC display platform connected to the WOC BOX. Therefore, this connection information can be used to determine the WOC BOX where the signal source is located, the connection status of the WOC BOX, and the WOC display platform connected to the WOC BOX.

[0096] Step 1102: In response to the WOC BOX being connected to other display devices, determine the target WOC display device connected to the WOC BOX where the signal source is located based on the WOC BOX connection information, and send a WOC BOX release request to the target WOC display device.

[0097] Upon receiving a WOC BOX release request, the target WOC display device outputs the device identifier of the WOC display device that sent the release request, as well as the signal source corresponding to the release request; The output here is the device identifier of the WOC display device that sent the release request, as well as the signal source corresponding to the release request, displayed on the screen of the target WOC display device, so that the user of the target WOC display device can determine whether to agree to release the WOC BOX.

[0098] If the target WOC display device receives the input consent command, it disconnects from the WOC BOX where the signal source is located and sends a consent request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request; If the target WOC display device receives the input rejection command, it determines whether a signal source is being played. In response to a currently playing signal source, output a request asking whether you agree to share the signal source's video feed; If the target WOC display device receives an instruction to agree to share the signal source screen, it sends a rejection request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request, and shares the signal source screen through the interconnection cluster. If the target WOC display device receives an instruction not to share the signal source screen, or is not playing a signal source, it sends a rejection request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request.

[0099] Step 1103: In response to the consent request message sent by the target WOC display device after releasing the WOC BOX, perform the connection operation with the WOC BOX. End this process.

[0100] The signal source connection operation here means that the WOC display device establishes a connection with the WOC BOX where the signal source is located. After the connection is completed, the WOC display device can control the playback of the signal source.

[0101] The specific connection process involves the WOC display device using the WOC BOX connection control module to establish a connection between the existing Wi-Fi module and the WOC BOX. Once the connection is complete, the WOC display device can control the playback of the signal source.

[0102] Step 1104: In response to receiving the rejection request message from the target WOC display device, and the target WOC display device agreeing to share the currently playing signal source image through the interconnect cluster, output the target WOC display device rejection message and the signal source image. End this process.

[0103] When the WOC display device is playing the signal source and agrees to share the signal source screen, the signal source screen can be shared through the interconnect cluster; If the signal source is not currently playing, or if the signal source is currently playing but you agree to share it, then the signal source's video will not be shared.

[0104] Step 1105: In response to receiving a rejection request message from the target WOC display device, and the target WOC display device disagrees with sharing the currently playing signal source image or a non-playing signal source image through the interconnect cluster, output a target WOC display device rejection message. End this process.

[0105] Step 1106: In response to the WOC BOX's connection status being "no display device connected," perform a connection operation with the WOC BOX. End this process.

[0106] The signal source connection operation here means that the WOC display device establishes a connection with the WOC BOX where the signal source is located. After the connection is completed, the WOC display device can control the playback of the signal source.

[0107] Step 1107: In response to the WOC BOX's connection status being "connection complete", the signal source is played directly.

[0108] In this embodiment, by establishing an interconnected cluster between the WOC BOX and the WOC display device, each WOC display device can obtain the connection information of the WOC BOX. When selecting a signal source on the WOC display device, the connection status of the WOC BOX containing the selected signal source can be determined based on the WOC BOX connection information. If a WOC BOX conflict is determined based on the status, the target WOC display device connected to that WOC BOX is identified, and a WOC BOX release request is sent to the target WOC display device. Upon receiving a consent request message from the target WOC display device after releasing the WOC BOX, the connection operation with the signal source is executed. If a rejection request message is received and the screen is shared, playback proceeds directly. If no WOC BOX conflict is determined based on the status, the connection is directly established or the signal source is played. This method can automatically establish the connection between the WOC display device and the WOC BOX containing the signal source while handling WOC BOX conflicts.

[0109] This application embodiment achieves seamless user control of the WOC BOX in a WOC environment. Users do not need to know the specific WOC BOX to obtain information about available signal sources in the current environment through the WOC display device. They can automatically connect or switch WOC BOXes by simply using a remote control or touchscreen to control the signal source. Simultaneously, a preset time prediction model is used to generate a connection scheme more suitable for personalized WOC BOXes and signal sources, enabling the handling and avoidance of WOC BOX conflicts and maximizing the utilization efficiency of dual WOC devices and signal sources.

[0110] Compared to existing WOC connection solutions, which require users to manually select a specific WOC box to connect to the display device, and where the signal source of the connected WOC box cannot be determined by the display device until the connection is complete, thus failing to handle WOC box conflicts and requiring users to frequently switch signal sources and WOC box connections, this application's embodiment significantly improves the user experience. Furthermore, in the case of dual WOC devices, this application's embodiment offers greater advantages and comfort compared to traditional WOC connection methods.

[0111] This application embodiment constructs an interconnected cluster of WOC display devices and WOC BOXes, sharing the signal sources connected to each BOX on each WOC display device; at the same time, the WOC Manager module on the WOC display device manages, schedules, and optimizes the connection of the signal sources connected to each WOC BOX, enabling the WOC display device to interact directly with the signal source without further processing of the BOX connection, thereby simplifying user operation and improving connection flexibility and reliability.

[0112] The WOC Manager system on WOC display devices is compatible with all types of wireless display devices, including TVs, monitors, projectors, etc. Furthermore, the connection method between the wireless display device and the wireless WOC BOX does not affect the operation of this system: if the core of the playback system is located on the WOC display device, this system can be set on the WOC display device; if the core is located on the WOC BOX, this system can be set on the corresponding WOC BOX.

[0113] In a home environment, due to the alternating and frequent use of signal sources by multiple users, problems such as the inability to know the signal source before connecting to the WOC BOX and the need for users to manually plug and unplug the signal source connection cable to the appropriate WOC BOX when a WOC BOX conflict occurs can all be solved by applying the WOC device connection method provided in the embodiments of this application, which greatly improves the user experience of using wireless display devices.

[0114] In a shopping mall environment, there are numerous signal sources. Connecting these requires a large number of WOC boxes, which adds significant workload and complexity for users to determine which WOC box contains their desired signal source. However, by using the WOC device connection method provided in this application, users can quickly locate the required signal source and automatically connect and play it. Furthermore, the conflict avoidance optimization of the WOC device connection method provided in this application results in a better user experience with numerous signal sources, relieving users of manual effort.

[0115] In practical applications, if the main body implementing the relevant functions is a WOC BOX, then the relevant implementations in the embodiments of this application can also be implemented on the WOC BOX, which will not be described one by one here.

[0116] All of the above-mentioned optional technical solutions can be combined in any way to form optional embodiments of this disclosure, and will not be described in detail here.

[0117] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a WOC device management device, applied to a WOC display device in an interconnected cluster including a WOC box and WOC display devices.

The sending unit 1205 is used to send a WOC BOX release request to the target WOC display device; The processing unit 1206 is used to perform a connection operation with the WOC BOX when the receiving unit 1201 receives the consent request message.

[0119] In another embodiment, The receiving unit 1201 is further configured to receive a rejection request message; Output unit 1203 is configured to, in response to receiving a rejection request message from the target WOC display device and the target WOC display device agreeing to share the currently playing signal source image through the interconnection cluster, output a target WOC display device rejection message and the signal source image; and in response to receiving a rejection request message from the target WOC display device and the target WOC display device disagreeing to share the currently playing signal source image or not currently playing the signal source image through the interconnection cluster, output a target WOC display device rejection message.

[0120] The method further includes: In another embodiment, The receiving unit 1201 is further configured to receive WOC BOX release requests, consent instructions, and rejection instructions; The output unit 1203 is further configured to, in response to receiving a WOC BOX release request, output the device identifier of the WOC display device that sent the release request, and the signal source corresponding to the release request; The sending unit 1205 is further configured to disconnect from the WOCBOX where the signal source is located if it receives an input consent instruction, and send a consent request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request; The processing unit 1206 is further configured to, if it receives an input rejection instruction, determine whether a signal source is currently playing; in response to the fact that a signal source is currently playing, output a request to agree to share the signal source screen; if it receives an instruction to agree to share the signal source screen, send a rejection request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request, and share the signal source screen through the interconnection cluster; if it receives an instruction not to agree to share the signal source screen, or if a signal source is not currently playing, send a rejection request message to the WOC display device that sent the WOC BOX release request.

[0121] In another embodiment, The processing unit 1206 is further configured to perform a connection operation with the WOC BOX in response to the WOC BOX being in a state where no display device is connected.

[0122] In another embodiment, The processing unit 1206 is further configured to directly play the signal source in response to the WOC BOX's connection status being completed.

[0123] In another embodiment, the device further includes: The acquisition unit 1207 is used to acquire connection recommendation information; wherein, the connection recommendation information is determined by the main WOC device in the interconnection cluster; the connection recommendation information includes the connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source; the main WOC device is the WOC BOX or WOC display device in the interconnection cluster; The determining unit 1204 is further used to determine whether the connection recommendation information is the same as the current connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source; The processing unit 1206 is further configured to update the current connection relationship using the connection recommendation information if it is determined that the connection recommendation information is different from the current connection relationship between the WOC BOX and the signal source.

[0124] In another embodiment, the generation of connection recommendation information includes: Acquire monitoring data, which includes: time-series data of signal sources of WOC display devices in the interconnected cluster within a preset time period; Based on monitoring data, the time usage results of each signal source are predicted using a preset time prediction model; Analyze the predicted time usage results of each signal source to determine the index values ​​of each indicator corresponding to the usage trend and pattern of the signal source; The weighted summation of the index values ​​of each index for each signal source is used to calculate the WOC BOX allocation value for each signal source. Connection recommendation information is generated based on the WOC BOX allocation value, the number of signal sources, and the number of WOC BOXes.

[0125] The indicators of the signal source include: Signal source usage time characteristics, signal source type, signal source usage frequency, probability of signal source causing WOC BOX conflict, number of WOC BOX; Among them, the longer the signal source is used, the larger the value of the determined signal source usage time characteristic; The more signal sources of the same type there are, the smaller the value for determining the type of signal source. The more times a signal source is used, the higher the value indicating the frequency of signal source use. The more times and instances of WOC BOX collisions occur, the greater the probability that a given signal source will cause a WOC BOX collision. The more signal sources a WOC BOX is connected to, the smaller the value that determines the number of WOC BOXes; The weight corresponding to the probability of WOC BOX collision is greater than the weight corresponding to the signal source usage time feature and the signal source usage frequency; the weight corresponding to the signal source usage time feature and the signal source usage frequency is greater than the weight corresponding to the signal source type and the number of WOC BOXes.

[0126] Connection recommendations are generated based on the WOC BOX allocation value, the number of signal sources, and the number of WOC BOXes, including: Arrange the signal sources in descending order of their corresponding WOC BOX assignment values; If there is a signal source whose WOC BOX allocation value is greater than the preset value, allocate a separate WOC BOX for the signal source whose WOC BOX allocation value is greater than the preset value; For signal sources whose WOC BOX allocation value is no greater than the preset value, the remaining WOC BOXes are allocated in a load-balanced manner according to the order of WOC BOX allocation values ​​from largest to smallest.
