Method for switching between media play devices, and device
View Patent ↗The present invention applies to the field of multimedia communication technologies, and provides a method for switching between media play devices, and a device. The method includes: acquiring and displaying a media play device list on a home area network, and determining a to-be-switched-to media play device according to a user operation; sending a request message that carries a browsing history of a media content page of a media server and device capability information of the to-be-switched-to media play device to a remote user interface server RUI Server; receiving a uniform resource identifier URI of a user interface UI sent by the RUI Server; and sending the URI to the to-be-switched-to media play device, so that the to-be-switched-to media play device displays the UI that includes the browsing history.
1. A method for switching between media play devices, the method comprising:
acquiring and displaying, by a control device, a media play device list on a home area network, and determining a to-be-switched-to media play device according to a user operation;
sending, by the control device, a request message that carries a browsing history of a media content page of a media server and device capability information of the to-be-switched-to media play device to a remote user interface (RUI) server, wherein the device capability information comprises at least one of: a resolution and a screen size;
receiving, by the control device, a uniform resource identifier (URI) of a user interface (UI) sent by the RUI server, wherein the UI is generated by the RUI server according to the browsing history and the device capability information; and
sending, by the control device, the URI to the to-be-switched-to media play device.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before sending, by the control device, a request message that carries a browsing history of a media content page of a media server and device capability information of the to-be-switched-to media play device to an RUI server, the method further comprises:
recording, by the control device, the browsing history; and
acquiring, by the control device, the device capability information.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein recording, by the control device, the browsing history of the media content page of the media server comprises:
recording, by the control device, the browsing history by using a script embedded in a browser.
4. A method for switching between media play devices, the method comprising:
acquiring and displaying, by a control device, a media play device list on a home area network, and determining a to-be-switched-to media play device according to a user operation;
sending, by the control device, a request message that carries device capability information of the to-be-switched-to media play device to a remote user interface (RUI) server, wherein the device capability information comprises at least one of: a resolution and a screen size;
receiving, by the control device, a uniform resource identifier (URI) of a user interface (UI) sent by the RUI server, wherein the UI is generated by the RUI server according to the device capability information; and
sending, by the control device, a browsing history of a media content page of a media server and the URI to the to-be-switched-to media play device, wherein the browsing history is recorded by the control device before the request message is sent.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein before sending, by the control device, a request message that carries device capability information of the to-be-switched-to media play device to a remote user interface server RUI server, the method further comprises:
acquiring, by the control device, the device capability information.
6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein that the browsing history is recorded by the control device comprises:
recording, by the control device, the browsing history by using a script embedded in a browser.
7. A method for switching between media play devices, the method comprising:
receiving, by a to-be-switched-to media play device, a uniform resource identifier (URI) of a user interface (UI) sent by a control device, wherein the UI is generated by a remote user interface (RUT) server according to a browsing history of a media content page of a media server and device capability information of the to-be-switched-to media play device; and
acquiring from the RUI server and displaying, by the to-be-switched-to media play device, the UI that comprises the browsing history according to the URI.
