Abstract
Present application discloses a method for switching an audio/video (AV) application, an apparatus and a smart TV. The method includes: receiving an instruction for switching to a target AV application; starting a preset intermediate interface and setting a AV application currently in use to be a background program, where a resource occupied by the intermediate interface is less than a resource occupied by the target AV application; and when the intermediate interface has been completely loaded, triggering the AV application, which has been set to be a background program, to release an AV decoder.
Claims17
A method for switching an audio/video (AV) application, comprising:
- receiving an instruction for switching to a target AV application;
- starting a preset intermediate interface and setting an AV application currently in use to be a background program, wherein a resource occupied by the intermediate interface is less than a resource occupied by the target AV application;
- triggering, in response to the intermediate interface has been completely loaded, the AV application, which has been set to be the background program, to release an AV decoder;
- and
- instructing the target AV application to send a playback instruction to the AV decoder if the AV decoder is in an unoccupied state;
- wherein the resource occupied by the intermediate interface being less than the resource occupied by the target AV application comprises:
- the intermediate interface does not utilize the AV decoder, and/or the intermediate interface contains less interface content than the target AV application.
An apparatus for switching an audio/video (AV) application, comprising:
- a memory, a communication port and a processor, wherein the memory stores instructions, the processor is coupled with the memory and configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory, and the processor is configured to:
- receive an instruction for switching to a target AV application via the communication port;
- start a preset intermediate interface and set a AV application currently in use to be a background program, wherein a resource occupied by the intermediate interface is less than a resource occupied by the target AV application;
- in response to the intermediate interface has been completely loaded, trigger the AV application, which has been set to be a background program, to release an AV decoder;
- and
- instruct the target AV application to send a playback instruction to the AV decoder if the AV decoder is in an unoccupied state;
- wherein the resource occupied by the intermediate interface being less than the resource occupied by the target AV application comprises:
- the intermediate interface does not utilize the AV decoder, and/or the intermediate interface contains less interface content than the target AV application.
