Multi-device synchronous playing method and display device

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-device synchronous playing method and a display device. The method comprises the steps: for an anchor device end, receiving a synchronization request sent by a slave playing device after starting to play a target video; in response to the synchronization request, collecting playing progress information of the target video, and synchronously sending the playing progress information to each slave playing device, so that the slave playing devices adjust the target video played at the home terminal to the playing progress the same as the playing progress of the anchor device according to the playing progress information; wherein the anchor device and each slave device are included in a set of devices needing synchronous playing. According to the method and the device, the playing progress of each slave playing device to the target video is uniformly coordinated and controlled by utilizing the public main playing device in the device set, so that multi-device video synchronous playing without HDMI device connection is realized, and the popularization and the use in each scene are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of display devices, in particular to a multi-device synchronous playback method and a display device. Background technique [0002] In some application scenarios, there may be a need for multiple display devices to play the same video synchronously. For example, in a TV store, the merchant hopes that multiple TV devices in the store will simultaneously broadcast the same brand promotion video and display the same video simultaneously in real time. The video frame screen can provide consumers with a neat, unified and shocking demonstration effect, so as to attract news people to stop and watch the video, which is conducive to promoting product transactions. [0003] At present, HDMI devices are generally used for split-screen connection and synchronous output of video signals, that is, HDMI devices have multiple output ports, and multiple display devices are connected to the output ports of HDMI devices respectively, s...

Problems solved by technology

However, HDMI devices are generally expensive, and the update and maintenance costs are high, so they cannot be widely used. In addition, once the HDMI device is not updated in time, it will not be compatible with the display device of a higher system version, resulting in the display device not being able to play HDMI output video signals normally.
