Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia application (APP) resource allocation schemes in multi-view scenarios often lead to resource allocation conflicts, resulting in screen blackouts and poor flexibility and expansibility of multi-view functions.

Innovation Solution

A multi-view resource allocation method and apparatus that determines the resource type for an application based on the current view mode, either single-view or multi-view, by querying a preset mapping relationship between display sub-regions and resource types, thereby avoiding resource conflicts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If APPs autonomously determine resources to be used according to pre-configured resource types, then APPs can independently apply for resources, but resource allocation conflicts occur in multi-view scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAPP autonomous resource selectionVSAvoidresource allocation conflict
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device acts as an intermediary between APPs and resources. Instead of APPs directly selecting resources without consideration of current system state, the terminal device mediates the resource allocation process by determining the appropriate resource type based on the current view mode (single-view or multi-view), thereby preventing conflicts while maintaining APP autonomy in resource requests

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by having the terminal device check the current view mode before allocating resources. The terminal device provides feedback information about the current state (single-view or multi-view mode) to determine which resource type should be allocated, ensuring that APPs receive resources appropriate to the current system state and preventing allocation conflicts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If fixed resource types are assigned to display sub-regions, then resource allocation is simplified, but flexibility and expansibility of multi-view functions are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation simplicityVSAvoidmulti-view function flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static fixed resource assignment to dynamic resource allocation. Instead of permanently binding specific resource types to specific display sub-regions, the terminal device dynamically determines which resource type (main or sub-resource) should be allocated to which APP based on the current view mode and display sub-region configuration, enabling flexible multi-view functions while maintaining allocation simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A multi-view resource allocation method includes based on determining that an application (APP) of a terminal device is started, determining, by the terminal device, a resource type allocated for the APP on the basis of a current view mode that is a single-view mode or a multi-view mode, and the resource type being a main resource or a sub-resource; and acquiring, by the APP, a corresponding resource according to the allocated resource type.
