Detailed Description

In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The present application is not limited to a display device having a dual system and dual display structure as shown in fig. 1 to 7, that is, a display device having a first controller (first hardware system), a second controller (second hardware system), a first display, and a second display, and a display device having a non-dual system, that is, having one controller (hardware system), or having more than two controllers (hardware systems).

In a specific implementation manner of the present application, a display device with dual systems is used to describe the technical solution of the present application. The structure, function, implementation, and the like of the display device having the dual system hardware structure will be described in detail first.

For the convenience of users, various external device interfaces are usually provided on the display device to facilitate connection of different peripheral devices or cables to implement corresponding functions. When a high-definition camera is connected to an interface of the display device, if a hardware system of the display device does not have a hardware interface of a high-pixel camera receiving the source code, data received by the camera cannot be displayed on a display screen of the display device.

Furthermore, due to the hardware structure, the hardware system of the conventional display device only supports one path of hard decoding resources, and usually only supports video decoding with a resolution of 4K at most, so when a user wants to perform video chat while watching a network television, the user needs to use the hard decoding resources (usually GPU in the hardware system) to decode the network video without reducing the definition of the network video screen, and in this case, the user can only process the video chat screen by using a general-purpose processor (e.g. CPU) in the hardware system to perform soft decoding on the video.

The soft decoding is adopted to process the video chat picture, so that the data processing burden of a CPU (central processing unit) can be greatly increased, and when the data processing burden of the CPU is too heavy, the problem of picture blocking or unsmooth flow can occur. Further, due to the data processing capability of the CPU, when the CPU performs soft decoding on the video chat screen, multi-channel video calls cannot be generally implemented, and when a user wants to perform video chat with multiple other users in the same chat scene, access is blocked.

In view of the above aspects, to overcome the above drawbacks, the present application discloses a dual hardware system architecture to implement multiple channels of video chat data (at least one channel of local video).

The concept to which the present application relates will be first explained below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following descriptions of the concepts are only intended to make the contents of the present application more easily understood, and do not represent limitations on the scope of the present application.

The term "module," as used in various embodiments of the present application, may refer to any known or later developed hardware, software, firmware, artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, or combination of hardware and/or software code that is capable of performing the functionality associated with that element.

The term "remote control" as used in the embodiments of the present application refers to a component of an electronic device (such as the display device disclosed in the present application) that is capable of wirelessly controlling the electronic device, typically over a short distance. The component may typically be connected to the electronic device using infrared and/or Radio Frequency (RF) signals and/or bluetooth, and may also include functional modules such as WiFi, wireless USB, bluetooth, motion sensors, etc. For example: the hand-held touch remote controller replaces most of the physical built-in hard keys in the common remote control device with the user interface in the touch screen.

The term "gesture" as used in the embodiments of the present application refers to a user behavior used to express an intended idea, action, purpose, or result through a change in hand shape or an action such as hand movement.

The term "hardware system" used in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a physical component having computing, controlling, storing, inputting and outputting functions, which is formed by a mechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic device such as an Integrated Circuit (IC), a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and the like.

display device

200. For example, the

display device

200 is controlled using an application program running on the smart device. The application may provide various controls to the User through an intuitive User Interface (UI) on a screen associated with the smart device.

For example, the

mobile terminal

100B and the

display device

200 may each be installed with a software application, so that connection communication between the two may be implemented through a network communication protocol, and thus, the purpose of one-to-one control operation and data communication may be implemented. Such as: a control instruction protocol can be established between the

mobile terminal

100B and the

display device

200, a remote control keyboard is synchronized to the

mobile terminal

100B, and the function of controlling the

The application program center can provide and store various application programs. The application may be a game, an application, or some other application associated with a computer system or other device that may be run on a display device. The application center may obtain these applications from different sources, store them in local storage, and then be operable on the

display device

200.

Since the

second controller

310 and the

first controller

210 may have independent operating systems installed therein, there are two independent but interrelated subsystems in the

display device

200. For example, Android (Android) and various APPs may be independently installed on the

second controller

310 and the

first controller

210, and may all implement a certain function, and the

second controller

310 and the

first controller

210 cooperate to implement a certain function.

Fig. 10 is a block diagram illustrating a structure in which a display device presents dual systems and dual screens according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to fig. 10, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes two controllers, which are a second controller and a first controller, respectively, where each controller runs an independent Android system, that is, a system N (a second hardware system) runs on the second controller, a system a (a first hardware system) runs on the first controller, the system N is a master system, and the system a is a slave system.

To enable the capabilities of both systems to be exposed to the user, the display device is configured with dual displays. The dual display includes a first display (small screen) 280 and a second display (large screen) 380, the second display 380 (i.e. the

first display

201 in fig. 1) is connected to the second controller 310 (system N) for displaying the display content of each application configured in the system N, providing the main tv service; the first display 280 (i.e., the

second display

202 in fig. 1) is connected to the camera and the first controller 210 (system a) for displaying the social ability and the auxiliary information prompt to the user. The system A is provided with an application related to the camera, and the system N is provided with other applications for presenting social ability. The first display may also be connected to the system N, and the system N is configured to control the backlight of the first display to be turned on and off when the first display is connected to the system N.

The system N and the system A are connected through an HDMI interface, and the switching of the system N and the system A interface can be realized. The two systems can be connected through a data path to realize data transmission between the two systems. Because the system N does not provide social ability, the functions of video chat, magic mirror and the like are configured on the system A, and when a user conducts video chat, the content of the system A is displayed through the second display (large screen) instead of the first display (small screen).

When the user quits the video chat, the display device provided by the embodiment can coordinate and control the two systems, so that the corresponding application content can be accurately displayed on the large screen and the small screen. For example, if the first display previously displayed the home page of system a, the second display previously displayed a video playback, such as a video played by a media center. At this point, the user triggers the display of the first application to be presented on the second display, for example, launching and displaying a "mirror" application in the first controller on the second display. In this scenario, after the user triggers the return key on the remote control, the second display ends displaying the content of the "look to the mirror" application, and the first display displays the application before starting the "look to the mirror" application, i.e., the home page of system a; the video playback that was displayed prior to the "mirror" application, i.e., the video played by the media center, is displayed in the second display.

Therefore, in order to implement the coordinated display of the large and small double screens of the double-system display device after the application returns, the embodiment of the invention provides the display device, when a certain application which is being displayed executes a return instruction to exit, the two systems can be controlled to respectively acquire the application contents which are already displayed before the application is started, and the previously displayed contents are displayed in the corresponding display again, so that the coordinated display of the large and small double screens of the double systems after the application returns is implemented, and the corresponding application contents can be accurately displayed on the display.

FIG. 12 is a flow chart illustrating a method of controlling return of a dual system size dual screen application in accordance with an exemplary embodiment; a data flow diagram illustrating a control method for dual system size dual screen application return in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is shown in fig. 13. To this end, to implement the coordinated display of the dual-system application dual displays when an application returns, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, which includes a first display, a second display, a first controller, and a second controller. The first controller is configured to execute the control method for returning the dual-system-size dual-screen application shown in fig. 12 and 13, and specifically includes the following steps:

s11, receiving an exit event broadcast generated by the first application in response to a return instruction for ending the display of the display content of the first application.

When the display content of the application (first application) in the first controller that has been started has been presented in a certain display, for example, the display content of the first application has been displayed on the second display or has been displayed on the first display. If the user wants to quit the first application, the user can trigger the remote controller to generate a return instruction and send the return instruction to the first application. After receiving the return instruction, the first application does not immediately call the logic of the first controller for processing the return instruction, but generates an exit event broadcast and sends the exit event broadcast to the first controller.

When an application in the first controller (system a) that is being displayed exits, an ACTION (exit event broadcast) broadcast is sent as: com.sense.tv.action.sil _ BACK _ EVENT is broadcast to the first controller. This ACTION broadcast represents the application to exit and return to the last application. The exit event broadcast is used for identifying that the first application needs to perform an exit operation so as to inform the first controller of preparation for content to be displayed on the first display and the second display respectively after the application returns.

Since the display device provided in this embodiment needs to display the display content of the previous application on the corresponding display after a certain application is exited, the first controller is notified to prepare to search for and acquire the display content of the previous application, and meanwhile, the first controller communicates with the second controller to notify the second controller to prepare the same.

And S12, responding to the exit event broadcast, acquiring information of the specified application, and sending the information of the specified application to the second controller, wherein the specified application refers to the last application displayed before the first application is displayed in the first controller.

After receiving the exit event broadcast sent by the first application, the first controller needs to acquire the information of the last application. For this purpose, the first controller calls the first development encapsulation module, searches the last application before the first application is started, namely the specified application, in the application starting process list stored in the first development encapsulation module, and acquires the information of the specified application.

The designated application is an application in the first controller, the first controller sends the acquired information of the designated application to the second controller, so that the second controller judges whether the designated application is an application needing to be displayed on the first display or an application needing to be displayed on the second display, and display content of the designated application is displayed on an accurate display.

Another flow chart of a control method for return of a dual system size dual screen application in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is illustrated in fig. 14. To this end, to implement the coordinated presentation of the dual-system application on the display upon application return, the second controller is configured to execute a control method of dual-system-size dual-screen application return shown in fig. 14, the method including the steps of:

and S21, receiving information of the designated application sent by the first controller, wherein the designated application is the last application displayed before the first application is displayed in the first controller.

And S22, inquiring whether the specified application exists in a second display list based on the information of the specified application, wherein the second display list comprises the second application and the first application needing to be displayed on the second display.

And after receiving the information of the designated application sent by the first controller, the second controller calls a second development packaging module, a second display list is also stored in the second development packaging module, and all application names which need to be displayed on the second display in the first controller and the second controller, such as package names of the second application and the first application which needs to be displayed on the second display, are stored in the second display list.

The information for specifying the application includes a specified application package name for uniquely identifying a launch type of the specified application, i.e., whether the specified application is to be displayed on the first display or the second display, and the second display list includes each application package name to be displayed on the second display.

In the display device provided in this embodiment, the second controller queries whether a specified application exists in the second display list according to the name of the specified application package, and if so, indicates that the specified application exists in the second display list, that is, the specified application needs to be displayed on the second display; if the application does not exist, the second display displays the specified application in the list, namely the specified application needs to be displayed on the first display.

A flow diagram of a method of querying a second display list for the presence of a specified application in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is illustrated in fig. 15. Specifically, referring to fig. 15, when the display apparatus inquires whether a specified application exists in the second display list, the second controller is further configured to:

s221, matching the specified application package name with each application package name in the second display list.

S222, if one application package name is consistent with the specified application package name in the second display list, determining that the specified application exists in the second display list.

And S223, if any application package name does not exist in the second display list and is consistent with the specified application package name, determining that the specified application does not exist in the second display list.

The second display list comprises a plurality of application package names which can be displayed on the second display, the specified application package names are matched with the plurality of application package names which can be displayed on the second display, and if a certain application package name is consistent with the specified application package name, the specified application exists in the second display list, namely the specified application needs to be displayed on the second display; if any application package name does not accord with the specified application package name, the second display displays the specified application in the list, namely the specified application needs to be displayed on the first display.

And S23, generating an HDMI switching identifier corresponding to the query result, wherein the HDMI switching identifier is used for representing whether the display content of the specified application needs to be displayed on the first display or the second display.

And after inquiring whether the specified application is the application needing to be displayed on the second display or not, the second controller generates a corresponding HDMI switching identifier according to different inquiry results so as to represent whether the display content of the specified application needs to be displayed on the first display or the second display.

In one possible specific implementation manner, in the display device provided in this embodiment, when the HDMI switch identifier is generated, the second controller is further configured to:

step 2311, based on the information of the specified application, if the query in the second display list results in the absence of the specified application.

Step 2312, according to the query result without the specified application, an HDMI switching identifier is generated, and the HDMI switching identifier is used for representing that the display content of the specified application needs to be displayed on the first display.

When the second controller inquires in the second display list according to the information of the specified application, if the inquiry result shows that the specified application does not exist, the specified application needs to be displayed on the first display. Therefore, the second controller generates a corresponding HDMI switching identifier according to the query result without the specified application so as to control the HDMI Switch module to connect the HDMI output interface to the first display, and the current HDMI switching identifier can realize the display content of the specified application to be displayed on the first display.

In another possible specific implementation manner, in the display device provided in this embodiment, when generating the HDMI switch identifier, the second controller is further configured to:

step 2321, based on the information of the designated application, if the query result in the display list of the second display is that the designated application exists;

step 2322, according to the query result with the specified application, an HDMI switch identifier is generated, and the HDMI switch identifier is used for representing that the display content of the specified application needs to be displayed on the second display.

When the second controller inquires in the display list of the second display according to the information of the specified application, if the inquiry result indicates that the specified application exists, the specified application needs to be displayed on the second display. Therefore, the second controller generates a corresponding HDMI switching identifier according to the query result of the specific application, so as to control the HDMI Switch module to connect the HDMI output interface to the second display, and the current HDMI switching identifier can realize the display content of the specific application to be displayed on the second display.

And S24, sending the HDMI switching identifier to the first controller, so that the first controller displays the display content of the specified application on the display corresponding to the HDMI switching identifier.

The second controller sends the HDMI switching identifier generated according to different query results to the first controller, so that the first controller can control the HDMI Switch module to Switch the output interface according to the HDMI switching identifier, and connect the switched output interface to the corresponding display, thereby realizing the display of the display content of the designated application.

And S13, receiving an HDMI switching identifier generated by the second controller after inquiring whether the designated application exists in a second display list according to the information of the designated application, wherein the second display list comprises the second application and the first application which needs to be displayed on the second display, and the HDMI switching identifier is used for representing whether the display content of the designated application needs to be displayed on the first display or the second display.

The first controller receives the HDMI switching identifier sent by the second controller, and the HDMI switching identifier can be used for identifying which display the output interface of the HDMI Switch module needs to be switched to, so that whether the display content of the specified application is displayed on the first display or the second display is realized, and the display content of the specified application can be accurately displayed on the corresponding display.

And S14, ending the display of the display content of the first application, acquiring the display content of the specified application, and displaying the display content of the specified application on the display corresponding to the HDMI switching identifier.

And immediately responding to the return instruction to close the Activity interface after the first controller receives the HDMI switching identifier, namely ending the display of the display content of the first application. At this time, the first controller automatically acquires the display content of the designated application and displays the display content on the display corresponding to the HDMI switch identifier.

A flow diagram of a method of displaying display content of a specified application in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is illustrated in fig. 16. In one embodiment, referring to fig. 16, when the display device controls the corresponding display to display the display content of the specific application, the first controller is further configured to:

s1411, when the designated application is an application displayed on the first display and the HDMI switching identifier represents that the display content of the designated application needs to be displayed on the first display, acquiring a current HDMI output identifier corresponding to the display content of the first application when the display content of the first application is displayed, wherein the HDMI output identifier is used for representing whether the display content of the first application is displayed on the first display or the second display.

In this embodiment, if the specified application is an application that needs to be displayed on the first display, it is indicated that the HDMI Switch identifier generated by the second controller needs to control the output interface of the HDMI Switch module to Switch to the first display. At this time, in order to accurately determine whether the HDMI output interface currently connected to the first application needs to perform switching, that is, whether the HDMI output interface is switched to the first display (if the display content of the first application is being displayed on the first display, the HDMI output interface does not need to perform switching), it is necessary to obtain the current HDMI output identifier when the first application displays the content on a certain display, so as to determine whether the HDMI output interface of the first application is currently connected to the first display or the second display.

And S1412, judging whether the HDMI switching identifier is consistent with the current HDMI output identifier.

S1413, if the HDMI switching identifier is inconsistent with the current HDMI output identifier, displaying the display content of the designated application on the first display corresponding to the HDMI switching identifier.

When determining whether the HDMI output interface currently connected to the first application needs to be switched to the first display, the determination method adopted in this embodiment is to compare the HDMI switch identifier (corresponding to the designated application) with the current HDMI output identifier (corresponding to the first application).

Since the HDMI switch identifier may indicate that the output interface of the designated application should be connected to the first display, if the HDMI switch identifier is not consistent with the current HDMI output identifier, that is, the display being displayed by the first application is not consistent with the display to be displayed by the previous application, it indicates that the display content of the first application is being displayed on the second display.

At this time, the first controller needs to switch the HDMI output interface from the second display to the first display according to the HDMI switching identifier, and display the display content of the designated application on the first display, so that the display content in the first controller is output to the first display and displayed after the first application returns to the execution.

After a first application displayed in a second display is exited, the first display displays the display content of the designated application, and in this case, the second display also displays the display content of the application that was launched before the first application was displayed.

Fig. 17 is a flowchart illustrating a content display method of controlling the second display according to an exemplary embodiment. To this end, referring to fig. 17, in the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, when the second display is required to display a certain content, the second controller is further configured to:

s25, finding a previous application displayed on the second display, wherein the previous application is the last application displayed on the second display before the first application is displayed.

S26, acquiring the display content of the previous application after the display of the display content of the first application is finished, and displaying the display content of the previous application on the second display.

The second controller receives the information of the designated application sent by the first controller, executes and judges the starting type of the designated application, calls the second development packaging module, and acquires the application displayed before the first application is displayed, namely the prior application, from a second application list which is stored in the second controller according to the time sequence and is started each time.

And the second controller stops displaying the display content of the first application, acquires the display content of the prior application and displays the display content on the second display, so that the display content in the second controller is output to the second display and displayed after the first application returns to the execution.

Since the backlight of the first display is in an off state when the first display is not used, the backlight of the first display needs to be turned on again after the first controller completes the switching of the HDMI output interface and displays the display content of the designated application. Specifically, in performing turning on the first display backlight, the first controller is further configured to: and sending a first display backlight starting instruction to the second controller, wherein the first display backlight starting instruction is used for the second controller to start the backlight of the first display in the first controller.

Since the backlight of the first display is controlled by the second controller, the first display is now in communicative connection with the second controller. Thus, the second controller is further configured to: receiving a first display backlight starting instruction sent by a first controller, wherein the first display backlight starting instruction is used for starting the backlight of a first display in the first controller; and in response to the instruction for starting the first display backlight, starting the backlight of the first display in the first controller.

The first controller needs to turn on the backlight of the first display again for the user's viewing convenience after outputting the display contents of the designated application to the first display. Therefore, a first display backlight starting instruction is generated by the first controller and sent to the second controller, and the second controller receives and responds to the first display backlight starting instruction to start the backlight of the first display, so that a user can view the display content of the specific application displayed in the first display.

In this embodiment, the first controller presents a "back-on backlight" effect in a process that the first controller outputs the display content of the designated application to the first display after the timing of sending the instruction to turn on the backlight of the first display, so as to avoid that the first display is preferentially turned on, and at this time, the display content of the designated application is not yet displayed in the first display, so as to avoid that the blank display is seen by the user.

As can be seen, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for outputting the HDMI of the current system a to the second display, and returning to the application scene that the system a needs to display on the first display. In this scenario, when the control method for returning the dual-system large and small dual-screen applications is executed, after the first application responds to the return instruction, the first controller may obtain the display content of the specified application displayed before the first display and display the display content on the first display, and the second controller may obtain the display content of the previous application displayed before the second display displays the first application and display the display content on the second display, so that the coordinated display of the dual-system applications on the dual-display during the return of the applications is realized, and the large and small dual-screens can accurately display the corresponding application content.

For example, in a scenario where the HDMI of the current system a (first controller) is output to a large screen (second display), and it is necessary to return to an application that the system a needs to display on a small screen (first display):

currently, a large screen of a television displays video playing (such as a media center plays video), and a small screen displays time weather (a homepage of a system A). The user has started an application (first application) that needs to be displayed on the large screen in system a, such as: after looking into the mirror, press the remote control return key:

firstly, after receiving a return key, the mirror application of the system A does not call the processing return logic of the system A, but sends SILO _ BACK _ EVENT (exit EVENT) broadcast to the first controller, and after receiving the return key, the first controller inquires that the last application (appointed application) is the homepage of the system A according to an application starting process list stored in the first development and encapsulation module, and sends the name information of the application package to the second controller. And after receiving the request, the second controller searches whether the request is in a display list of the second display or not according to the application package name, obtains a query result that the homepage of the system A is not in the list, and generates an HDMI switching identifier for identifying that the HDMI Switch module in the first controller needs to be switched to the small screen.

Then, the second controller sends the generated HDMI switch identifier to the first controller through the data path, and at the same time, the second controller queries the last application (previous application) in the system N as the media center. After receiving the HDMI switching identifier, the first controller firstly ends the current Top activity of the system a, and then the system automatically pulls up the previous application (system a homepage), then judges whether the HDMI switching identifier is the same as the current HDMI output identifier, and if not, switches the HDMI output interface to the HDMI connected to the small screen according to the HDMI switching identifier, so as to display the system a homepage (designated application) on the small screen (first display), and meanwhile, the second controller also ends the Top activity (mirror) of the current system N, returns to the previous application (media center), and displays the media center (previous application) on the large screen (second display). And finally, the first controller informs the second controller to turn on the small-screen backlight.

FIG. 18 is a flow chart illustrating another method of displaying display content for a specified application in accordance with an illustrative embodiment; another data flow diagram illustrating a control method for dual system size dual screen application return in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is shown in fig. 19. Another embodiment of the present application provides a display device, which is different from the method shown in fig. 16, that is, in another specific embodiment, referring to fig. 18 and 19, when performing display of display content of a specified application, the first controller is further configured to:

s1421, when the designated application is an application that needs to be displayed on the second display and the HDMI switching identifier indicates that the display content of the designated application needs to be displayed on the second display, acquiring a current HDMI output identifier corresponding to the display of the first application, where the HDMI output identifier is used to indicate whether the display content of the first application is being displayed on the first display or the second display.

In this embodiment, if the specified application is an application that needs to be displayed on the second display, it is indicated that the HDMI Switch identifier generated by the second controller needs to control the output interface of the HDMI Switch module to Switch to the second display. At this time, in order to accurately determine whether the HDMI output interface currently connected to the first application needs to perform switching, that is, whether the HDMI output interface is switched to the second display (if the display content of the first application is being displayed on the second display, the HDMI output interface does not need to perform switching), it is necessary to obtain the current HDMI output identifier when the first application displays the content on a certain display, so as to determine whether the HDMI output interface of the first application is currently connected to the first display or the second display.

S1422, judging whether the HDMI switching identifier is consistent with the current HDMI output identifier.

S1423, if the HDMI switching identifier is consistent with the current HDMI output identifier, displaying the display content of the designated application on the second display corresponding to the HDMI switching identifier.

When determining whether the HDMI output interface currently connected to the first application needs to be switched to the second display, the determination method adopted in this embodiment is to compare the HDMI switch identifier (corresponding to the designated application) with the current HDMI output identifier (corresponding to the first application).

Since the HDMI switch identifier may indicate that the output interface of the designated application should be connected to the second display, if the HDMI switch identifier is identical to the current HDMI output identifier, that is, the display being displayed by the first application is identical to the display to be displayed by the previous application, it indicates that the display content of the first application is being displayed on the second display.

At this moment, the first controller needs to switch the identifier according to the HDMI without switching the HDMI output interface, the connection between the HDMI output interface and the second display is maintained, the display content of the designated application is displayed in the second display, and the display content in the first controller is continuously output to the second display and displayed after the execution of the first application returns.

After the first application displayed in the second display is quitted, the second display displays the display content of the designated application, and at the moment, the first display is still in the backlight-off state, and the content of any application does not need to be displayed.

Therefore, the display device provided by the embodiment of the invention is suitable for outputting the HDMI of the current system A to a large screen and returning to the application scene which needs to be displayed on the large screen by the system A. In this scenario, when the control method for returning the dual-system large and small dual-screen applications is executed, after the first application responds to the return instruction, the first controller may obtain the display content of the specified application displayed before the first display and continue to display the display content on the second display, and the first display may be kept in a historical state, such as a backlight-off state, so as to achieve coordinated display of the dual-system applications on the dual-display when the applications return, and ensure that the large and small dual-screens can accurately display the corresponding application content.

For example, when the HDMI of the current system a (first controller) is output to a large screen (second display), and it is necessary to return to a scene of an application that the system a needs to display on the large screen (second display):

at present, a large screen of a television displays 'looking into a mirror', and a user presses a return key of a remote controller after starting a 'family photo album'. Wherein the mirror and home album applications are both applications in the first controller that need to be displayed on the second display.

Firstly, after receiving a return key, the family photo album application in the system A does not call the system A processing return logic, but sends SILO _ BACK _ EVENT (exit EVENT) broadcast to the first controller, and the first controller inquires that the last application (the appointed application) is a mirror according to an application starting process list stored in the first development packaging module after receiving the SILO _ BACK _ EVENT, and sends the application package name information to the second controller. And the second controller searches whether the current HDMI Switch module is in the second display list or not according to the application package name after receiving the current HDMI Switch module, obtains a query result of the mirror application in the list, and generates an HDMI Switch identifier for identifying that the HDMI Switch module in the first controller needs to be switched to a large screen.

Then, the second controller sends the generated HDMI switching identifier to the first controller through the data path, after the first controller receives the HDMI switching identifier, the current Top Activity of the system A is firstly ended, then the system automatically pulls up the last application (home album), and then judges whether the HDMI switching identifier is the same as the current HDMI output identifier, if so, the operation of switching the HDMI output interface is not needed, so that the display content of the home album application is continuously displayed on the second display.

As can be seen from the foregoing technical solutions, in the display device provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the control method for returning a dual-system-size dual-screen application is executed, wherein the first controller is configured to receive an exit event broadcast generated when the first application responds to a return instruction, acquire information of a specific application, and send the information to the second controller; the second controller inquires whether the designated application exists in a display list of the second display according to the information of the designated application and then generates an HDMI switching identifier; the first controller ends the display of the display content of the first application and displays the display content of the specified application on the display corresponding to the HDMI switching identifier.
