Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the system function block diagrams of the apparatus for adding an audio/video channel to a tv application program self-selection group according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention are shown, in which the figure only lists the core modules related to the first embodiment of the present invention, and the remaining modules are omitted and not depicted. Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a device 10 for adding an av channel to a tv application program self-selection group is a network tv set-top box or a tv stick, and an application program 16 of the present embodiment is executed on the device 10 for adding an av channel to a tv application program self-selection group (a network tv set-top box or a tv stick). In a first embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus 10 for adding video channels to a tv application program self-selection group comprises: one or more processors 12a, memory 14a, applications 16, an operating system 18a, and a network module 20a. Wherein the memory 14a is installed with an operating system 18a and stores an application 16 (i.e., stock quote software or stock exchange software); the processor 12a executes the operating system 18a to manage hardware and software resources of the device 10, and executes a plurality of program instructions contained in the application 16 to implement the following modules in a manner that the hardware and software cooperate: a data transmission module 30, a free stock editing module 32, a free stock quotation module 34 and an audio-visual operation module 36 (shown in fig. 3); the operating system 18a, for example: android TV, tvOS, tizen, webOS, opera TV …, and so on; the network module 20a is used to establish Internet (Internet) network connection, such as: wired broadband, WLAN (Wi-Fi, etc.), mobile communication networks (e.g., 3G, 4G, 5G …), etc. Since the set-top box or the tv stick does not have a display screen, the device 10 for adding video channels to the tv application program self-selection group in this embodiment is connected to the external tv 22, so as to display the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the application program 16 by using the screen 24 a; the speaker 26a is used to emit the sound of the video or audio played by the av playing frame.

Fig. 2 is a functional block diagram of a system according to the second embodiment, and a device 28 for adding an audio/video channel to a tv application program self-selection group, i.e., a smart tv, is different from the first embodiment in that the device 28 of the present embodiment is built with an operating system 18b, a screen 24b and a speaker 26b, so that a graphical user interface of an application program 16 is directly displayed on the built-in screen 24b, and a video or audio sound played by an audio/video playing frame is directly emitted by the built-in speaker 26 b. In addition, the functions of the other modules in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and therefore are not described in detail.

With continued reference to fig. 3, a functional block diagram of the application 16 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: the data transmission module 30, the optional share editing module 32, the optional share quotation module 34 and the video operation module 36, the figure only lists the core modules related to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the rest of the modules are omitted and not depicted.

The data transfer module 30 is used to establish a connection with a server (i.e., a quotation server) to transmit or receive data, such as: upload the self-selected stock list, upload the video and audio download command, receive the quotation information, receive the video (for example, the video file or video stream of the video and audio channel), receive the audio (for example, the audio file or audio stream of the video and audio channel) …, etc. Data received by the data transfer module 30 is temporarily stored in the

memories

14a, 14b. In some embodiments, the server providing the offer information is an offer server, and the server providing the video channel is a video server, which are two independent and different servers or two independent and different server clusters; in some embodiments, the server providing the offer information and the server providing the av channel are the same server, or a cluster of servers.

The self-selected stock editing module 32 adds the financial commodities or the video channels to the self-selected group of the self-selected stock list according to the added self-selected instruction, deletes the financial commodities or the video channels in the self-selected group of the self-selected stock list according to the deleted self-selected instruction, and modifies the financial commodities or the video channels in the self-selected group of the self-selected stock list according to the modified self-selected instruction (for example, modifying the arrangement sequence of the financial commodities or the video channels in the self-selected stock list, modifying the alias of the user-defined video channels, modifying the self-selected group to which the financial commodities or the video channels belong, or modifying the arrangement position of the video channels). The so-called "self-selected stock list" is a list of financial products and video channels that the user selects to pay attention to, and the self-selected stock list may include a plurality of self-selected groups, for example: the user can edit the financial commodities and the video channels (such as adding, deleting and modifying) of any one of the self-selection groups in the self-selection stock list. In some embodiments, the user may also edit the discretionary groups themselves, such as: adding a self-selection group, deleting the self-selection group and modifying the name of the self-selection group. In some embodiments, the list of optional shares is stored in the

memory

14a, 14b of the

device

10, 28, and the optional shares quotation module 34 generates an optional subscription instruction according to the list of optional shares and uploads the optional subscription instruction to the server. After receiving the self-selected subscription command, the server retrieves the corresponding offer information or the video/audio of the corresponding audio/video channel from the database and transmits the offer information or the video/audio to the

devices

10 and 28. In some embodiments, the optional share list is stored in the server, and the server retrieves the corresponding offer information or the video/audio of the corresponding audio/video channel from the database according to the optional share list and transmits the offer information or the video/audio of the corresponding audio/video channel to the

device

10, 28. The optional stock editing module 32 of the present invention not only allows the user to edit the optional financial commodity by himself (which belongs to the prior art), but also has the more important technical characteristic that the optional stock editing module 32 allows the user to edit the video channel by himself. For example: the user can add the "finance channel 123", the "finance channel 124" and the "investment channel aaa" to the "first optional group", and add the "investment channel bbb" and the "finance channel 125" to the "second optional group", so that the user can directly view the subscribed financial commodities and the video and audio channels in the corresponding optional offer views when switching different optional groups, thereby greatly saving the time of one-level menu (not depicted) operation to find the video and audio channels which are often viewed. In some embodiments, the adding of the video channel to the optional share list is storing a URL corresponding to the video channel; in some embodiments, all the audio/video channels stored in the candidate list are represented by non-duplicate (Unique) identification IDs, and the server further maintains a list to correspond the identification IDs to the URLs of the audio/video channels. In some embodiments, the discretionary share editing module 32 further comprises: receiving an edit location command to edit the financial goods or video channels in the optional group of the optional stock list at the arrangement location of the optional offer view 40, for example: in the optional setup view (not shown) or the optional offer view 40 (shown in fig. 7), the user moves the video playback box 38 (generates an edit position command) with the arrow keys of the remote controller to determine the arrangement position of the video channels in the optional offer view 40.

The optional stock quotation module 34 generates an optional quotation view 40 according to the quotation information of the financial goods corresponding to the list downloaded by the optional group optional server (i.e., quotation server) of the optional stock list and displays the same on the

screens

24a and 24b. The optional offer view 40 includes offer boxes 42 corresponding to the number of financial products in the optional group (i.e., the number of offer boxes 42 in the optional offer view 40 is equal to the number of financial products in the optional group in the optional stock list) and audio/video playing boxes 38 corresponding to the number of audio/video channels (i.e., the number of audio/video playing boxes 38 in the optional offer view 40 is equal to the number of audio/video channels in the optional group in the optional stock list), and the display positions of the offer boxes are automatically adjusted to match the zoom of the audio/video playing boxes 38. The optional quote view 40 of the present invention is used to present the quote information of the optional financial commodity, and further comprises the video/audio playing frame 38 for playing the video or audio of the video/audio channel, so that the user can watch the video (e.g. news of the finance channel, stock opening program … of the investment channel, etc.) or listen to the audio (e.g. listen to the news voice of the finance channel, stock opening voice … of the investment channel, etc.) while paying attention to the quote information in the optional quote view 40. The financial quote information is displayed in quote boxes 42, one for each financial product, and the size of the quote box is the same as the original size of the video/audio playing box 38 (i.e., the size before being magnified and displayed). The video or audio of the video channel is displayed in the video playback frame 38, and one video playback frame 38 corresponds to one of the selected video channels.

The video/audio operation module 36 receives a video/audio play command to play video or audio of a video/audio channel stored in the

memory

14a, 14b, receives a video/audio stop command to stop playing video or audio, receives a video/audio pause command to pause playing video or audio, receives an enlargement command to enlarge the video/audio play frame 38 to be displayed on the

screen

24a, 24b, and receives a restoration command to restore the video/audio play frame 38 to an original size to be displayed on the

screen

24a, 24b. In some embodiments, when the user switches to the optional group corresponding to the optional offer view 40, the audio/video downloading instruction is triggered, and after receiving the audio/video downloading instruction, the audio/video operating module 36 downloads the video or audio corresponding to the audio/video channels in the optional group through the data transmission module 30 and stores the video or audio in the

memories

14a and 14b. Then, in some embodiments, when there is only one av channel in the corresponding self-selection group, the av playback command is directly triggered to play the videos in the

memories

14a and 14b in the av playback frame 38, and the sound of the video (i.e., the audio track in the video) or the audio in the

memories

14a and 14b is played back by the

speakers

26a and 26 b; when the audio without video is downloaded (e.g. by broadcasting a channel), the video frame 38 can be used to display the text information of the currently played audio (e.g. the program name, brief content, and Podcasting information of the video channel). The downloading and playing flow of such embodiments does not require manual operations by the user, such as: and playing the default advertisements, stock disk release, financial news … and other videos of the server. In some embodiments, when there are multiple video channels in the corresponding self-selection group, the video playing command is triggered to play the videos in the

memories

14a and 14b in the all video playing frames 38 in a mute manner, so that the user can preview the videos of all the self-selection video channels in a mute manner. In some embodiments, audio/video operation module 36 further includes: when the focus (onfocus) attribute is obtained, the av playback command is automatically executed to play the video or audio of the corresponding av channel in a "non-silent mode" (i.e. normal volume), for example: when the user operates with an arrow key (not shown) of the remote controller, and the cursor of the remote controller stays in a certain video/audio playing frame 38, the video/audio playing frame 38 obtains the "obtaining focus attribute", and at this time, the video or audio is played at a normal volume (or the mute is cancelled if the original mode is a mute mode). In some embodiments, when the av operation module 36 receives the zoom-in command from the av playing frame 38, the av playing command is automatically executed to play the video or audio of the av channel corresponding to the zoomed-in av playing frame 38 in a non-silent mode (i.e., normal volume). For example: the video of a video channel is originally played in a silent manner by a certain video playing frame 38, and a user operates a remote controller to generate an amplification instruction (for example, pressing a double-click OK button or pressing one of four short-cut keys, not shown in the figure), at this time, the amplified video playing frame 38 is amplified in a fixed ratio (for example, 2 times), and simultaneously plays the video or audio in a normal volume. In some embodiments, the so-called fixed ratio is "2 by 2" times the original size (i.e., the length after magnification is 2 times the original size and the width after magnification is also 2 times the original size); in some embodiments, the so-called fixed ratio is "3 by 3" times the original size (i.e., the magnified length is 3 times the original size and the magnified width is also 3 times the original size). After the audio/video playing frame 38 is enlarged, the optional share quotation module 34 automatically adjusts the display position of the quotation information (i.e., quotation frame) in the optional quotation view 40 to match the enlarged audio/video playing frame 38, so that the quotation information can be prevented from being displayed by the audio/video playing frame 38 in a shielding manner. Similarly, when the av operation module 36 receives the restore command to restore the av playback frame 38 to the original size and display it on the

screens

24a and 24b, the stock quotation module 34 automatically restores the display position of the quotation information (quotation frame 42) in the stock quotation view 40 to match the av playback frame 38 restored to the original size.

Referring to fig. 4, an overview view 44 of an embodiment of the present invention is shown on screen 24a or screen 24b. The overview view 44 of an embodiment of the present invention can be used to view quote information for the same type of financial product (e.g., cement industry, food industry, chemical industry …, etc., not shown in the drawings), or to view video and audio (e.g., legend) for the same type of audio/video channel. The illustration of fig. 4 is an overview view 44 of "patron channels" listing all of the patron channels available for viewing and subscription by the user, and this illustration merely marks the audiovisual playback box 38 in plain text with different patron channel names. In some embodiments, the overview view 44 of the AV channel is to automatically play all videos directly in a mute manner for the user to preview part of the content of the AV channel in the AV play box 38. The user can select the desired audio/video channel by manipulating the arrow keys (i.e., up, down, left, and right keys, not depicted) of the remote control (or by manipulating the remote control with a touch pad or touch screen), and the selected audio/video frame 38 is displayed with a highlight (Highlighted) effect, or a "cursor box" is displayed on the outer layer of the "watch aaa" audio/video frame 38 as shown in the upper left corner of the figure. After selecting an audio/video channel, the user can select a corresponding fast key by using a remote controller, for example: double-click OK button is connected to amplify (generate amplification instruction) the AV channel. The invention is convenient for users to quickly check interesting video and audio channels in the future, and the users can directly use the remote controller to generate a new optional instruction to add the video and audio channels into an optional group, for example: one of the four-color shortcut keys of the remote controller is pressed (a new optional command is generated), and then an optional group to be added is selected according to a prompt (not shown in the figure) on a screen.

Referring to fig. 5, a first schematic diagram of the optional offer view 40 and the audio/video playing frame 38 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown on the screen 24a or the screen 24b. The optional offer view 40 of the present embodiment is illustrated as providing an offer box 42 of a corresponding quantity (i.e., the number of offer boxes 42 equals the quantity of financial commodities in the optional group of the optional stock list) to display offer information for the optional financial commodities. Each quotation box 42 correspondingly displays a financial commodity, and the illustration is a financial commodity in taipei stock market in china as an example, for example: the invention relates to a method for processing a Chinese file, which comprises the steps of weighting index (weighting index of Chinese Taipei stock market), platform index near (index futures of Chinese Taipei stock market), platform mud, medium steel and honghai …, and the like. And, the legend also has a corresponding number of audiovisual playback boxes 38 to display the audiovisual channels that the user has selected. The illustration assumes that the user has added two AV channels "finance 123" and "patronage aaa" to "discretionary group one" through the operation of the add-on-pick command of FIG. 4, and the original size AV playback box 38 of the present embodiment is the same size as the quotation box 42. The video playback frame 38 of this embodiment enables the user to watch or listen to the video channel played by the video playback frame 38 while watching the offer information of the financial product in the optional offer view 40. When the video/audio playing frame 38 plays audio without video images (e.g. news audio of a financial channel, stock market opening audio), the video/audio playing frame 38 only needs to display simple audio-related text information (not depicted), and thus the video/audio playing frame 38 only needs to be displayed in the original size in the view. The cursor box in the legend stays in the bid box 42 for the "weighted finger".

Referring to fig. 6, a second schematic diagram of a selective offer view 40 and an audio/video playing frame 38 according to an embodiment of the invention. When the user is viewing the optional quote view 40, if the video played by the video playback box 38 is exactly the content that the user is interested in, the user can operate the cursor frame to move to the video playback box 38 by the arrow key of the remote controller (the remote controller of the network television set-top box or the remote controller of the smart television, not depicted), and then enlarge the video playback box 38 by the shortcut key (for example, one of the four shortcut keys, pressing the enlargement instruction) to watch the video content. In the optional group one of the legend, because two video and audio channels are set, in some embodiments, videos of the two video and audio channels are played simultaneously in a mute mode; in some embodiments, the video is played only when the cursor frame is moved to one of the av playing frames 38 (the onfocus attribute is obtained); in some embodiments, the audio/video channel that was originally played in a mute mode is played at a normal volume (i.e., mute-canceled) when the cursor frame is moved to the audio/video playing frame 38.

Referring to fig. 7, a third schematic diagram of the offer view 40 and the audio/video playing frame 38 according to an embodiment of the present invention illustrates that after the offer frame 42 or the audio/video playing frame 38 obtains the onfocus attribute, the user can edit the arrangement position of the offer frame 42 or the audio/video playing frame 38 by pressing a shortcut key (e.g., one of the four-color shortcut keys, not shown in the figure) of the remote controller; then, move the quotation box 42 or the video/audio playing box 38 by the arrow key; finally, the arrangement position of the latest quotation box 42 or the video playing box 38 can be stored in the optional stock list by pressing the OK button of the remote controller.

Referring to fig. 8, a fourth schematic view of the optional offer view 40 and the av playing frame 38 according to an embodiment of the present invention illustrates that the user displays a certain av playing frame 38 in the optional offer view 40 in an enlarged manner (for example, the user uses a remote controller to operate a "double click OK button" to generate an enlargement instruction). The video operation module 36 receives the zoom instruction, zooms the video playing frame 38 at a fixed ratio, and notifies the optional share quotation module 34, so that the optional share quotation module 34 readjusts the arrangement of the quotation frame 42 to prevent the quotation information from being shielded by the zoomed video playing frame 38. The illustration is to move the three price boxes 42 originally located next to the original size av playback box 38 in fig. 7 to the next row for display. The legend is magnified at a fixed scale of "2 by 2" (i.e., approximately 4 original sized video playback boxes 38). If the user wants to restore the video playback frame 38 to the original size, the user can operate the remote controller (for example, "double click OK button" to generate the restoration instruction, or press one of the four-color shortcut keys), and the method can revert to the method shown in FIG. 5. In other embodiments, the operation of the embodiment is the same as that of the embodiment, which is enlarged by a fixed ratio of "3 times 3" (not shown), and thus, the description is omitted.

Referring to fig. 9, a fifth schematic diagram of the optional quote view 40 and the video/audio playing box 38 according to an embodiment of the present invention illustrates that in this embodiment, when the video/audio playing box 38 is enlarged, the window may be set to a "movable" attribute, and the user may use the arrow keys on the remote controller to arbitrarily move the enlarged video/audio playing box 38. In this embodiment, when the enlarged video playback frame 38 is moved to a new position, the other quotation frames 42 and the video playback frame 38 are rearranged to prevent the quotation information from being hidden by the enlarged video playback frame 38.

In some embodiments, the enlarged video playback box 38 also has an "Always-On-Top" attribute. In such embodiments, the other of the quotation boxes 42 and the AV play box 38 are hidden from view, and thus, need not be rearranged.

Step S105: and downloading the quotation information of the corresponding financial commodity according to the self-selected stock list. Assuming that the user switches to the optional quote view 40 by operating the remote controller, the optional share quote module 34 downloads the quote information of the corresponding financial goods through the data transfer module 30 according to the list of the optional shares, and stores the quote information into the

memories

14a and 14b.

Step S106: a resulting discretionary offer view 40 is displayed on

screens

24a, 24b. After downloading the quote information of the corresponding financial commodity, the optional share quote module 34 generates an optional quote view 40, where the optional quote view 40 includes an audio/video playing box 38 corresponding to the number of audio/video channels in the optional group and a quote box 42 corresponding to the number of the financial commodity in the optional group. Each of the selected channels corresponds to an audio/video playing box 38, each of the selected financial products corresponds to a quotation box 42, and the quotation boxes have the same size as the original size of the audio/video playing box 38, as shown in fig. 5.

The operation method of the present invention can be interchanged between step S105 and step S106, and in some embodiments, when the user selects to switch to the optional offer view 40 by operating the remote controller, step S105 is executed first and then step S106 is executed, that is, the offer information is downloaded first and then the optional offer view 40 is generated; in some embodiments, when the user selects to switch to the optional offer view 40 by operating the remote controller, step S106 is executed first and then step S105 is executed, that is, the optional offer view 40 is generated first (at this time, no offer information exists in the view, only a blank table is displayed, and is not depicted), then the offer information is downloaded, and the display of the optional offer view 40 is updated after the download.

Step S107: the AV channel is downloaded from the server and played in the AV playback frame 38. In some embodiments, after the user switches to the optional offer view 40 (i.e., the optional offer view 40 is displayed on the

screens

24a and 24 b), the video and audio download instruction is automatically triggered, and after receiving the video and audio download instruction, the video and audio operation module 36 automatically downloads the video and audio of all the optional video and audio channels through the data transmission module 30 and stores the video and audio in the

memories
