Wherein the card update instruction can be served as the downloading instruction, the deletion instruction, the card popping instruction and the like.

Step S22, downloading the new on-line card from the server according to the downloading instruction when the card update instruction is served as the downloading instruction.

Wherein the step S21 and the step S22 can be executed by the interactive framework SDK inside the smart television; particularly, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the card is the plug-in/APK, the new on-line card is downloaded, namely the APK file of the new on-line card is downloaded; particularly, the card is in two states: tape-out (including off-line) and on-line states, wherein the on-line state of the card also depends on modules, the modules include the rotating module, the cable television module, the on-demand module and the like, the card is in the tape-out state when all the modules are tape-out, wherein the card is in the off-line state when all the modules are off-line; and the card is in the on-line state when any one of the modules is on-line.

In addition, the on-line and off-line states of the card can be checked and managed by the operating background which corresponds to the smart television, the operating background is capable of developing the new card according to the operating strategy, configuring the state of the card and the on-line module of the card and modifying the states of cards contained in an on-line card list inside the server and the on-line module to realize that the on-line card list inside the server is maintained according to the operating strategy of the operating background; wherein when the operating background uploads the developed new card to the server according to the operating strategy, the APK file of the new card needs to be uploaded, information, such as the card ID, the card name, the brief card introduction, the card on-line module and card sequencing, also needs to be input, then the “on-line” button or icon and the like of the corresponding card are clicked in the on-line card list of the server so that the uploaded card is formally on-line on the server, and the card name, the card ID, the card downloading address and the like can be given by the on-line card; when the operating background modifies the state of the card to be off-line according to the operating strategy, the “off-line” button or icon and the like of the corresponding card are clicked in the on-line card list of the server so that the card is formally off-line on the server; particularly, when the card is on-line or off-line, the server is capable of recording the uploading time, on-line time and off-line time of the card so as to be convenient for the operating background carrying out inquiry and other operations.

Preferably, when the on-line card list inside the server is changed, namely the new on-line card exists in the on-line card list, the server is capable of immediately notifying the interactive framework SDK by sending the card update instruction, for example, the downloading instruction is sent, the downloading instruction includes new on-line card information, such as the card name and the card ID or the on-line card list; wherein when the downloading instruction includes the new on-line card information, the interactive framework SDK is capable of downloading the corresponding new on-line card from the server according to the downloading instruction, when the downloading instruction includes the on-line card list, the interactive framework SDK is capable of inquiring the on-line card list contained in the downloading instruction, and when the new on-line card which corresponds to the current smart television is found to exist in the on-line card list, the interactive framework SDK is capable of downloading the corresponding new on-line card from the server and capable of regularly updating the local on-line card list of the smart television.

What need to note is that the new on-line card of the server includes a resident card and a pop-up card; the resident card can be called by the users actively from the card list and provide the usage of the interactive function for the users in the program viewing process of the users; the pop-up card is popped up in the program viewing process of the users, and the pop-up card is popped up through the push information of the server, so that the appearance time of the pop-up card on the screen of the smart television can be flexibly configured by the operating background according to the operating strategy; wherein a plurality of resident cards can not only be automatically popped up, but also be called by the users at any time to be viewed or provide the usage of the interactive function for the users; in the step S23, when the card update instruction is served as the downloading instruction, the new on-line resident card is downloaded from the server according to the downloading instruction.

Step S23, checking the integrity of the new on-line card.

Wherein the MD5 value of the APK file of the new on-line card can be checked through the interactive framework SDK to determine whether the APK file of the new on-line card is mistaken or tampered or not, so that the integration of the downloaded APK file is ensured.

Step S24, decompressing the APK file of the new on-line card into a pre-formatted file.

A preset format can be a dex format or other formats capable of being operated by the preset virtual machine (which is any virtual machine) inside the smart television; wherein the step S24 can be executed by the interactive framework SDK inside the smart television.

S25, receiving the card list startup instruction, starting the card list; wherein the card list includes the plurality of cards, and each card has the corresponding interactive function.

Wherein the card list is the card APK, the card APK is capable of showing the interactive function entrance of the card, the users can enter the card through the interactive function entrance of the card so as to use the interactive function of the card; wherein in the step S25, after the card list startup instruction is received, the card list can be started through the host program contained in the interactive framework SDK so as to realize that the card list can be automatically operated through the virtual machine without being installed; when the card list is started, the card list acquires the cards to be shown from the cards of the smart television and shows the interactive function entrances of the cards to be shown after being started; and the users can enter the corresponding card by selecting any interactive function entrance.

In addition, according to a module of a program currently viewed by the users, the card list is capable of showing the interactive function entrances of different cards according to the attribute information (including on-line modules of the cards and the like) of the cards; for example, the card list includes an A card, a B card and a C card, wherein the rotating module, the cable television module and the on-demand module are served as the on-line module of the A card, the rotating module and the cable television module are served as the on-line module of the B card, and the on-demand module is served as the on-line module of the C card; when the program currently viewed by the users is on the rotating module or the cable television module, the card list shows the interactive function entrances of the A card and the B card; when the program currently viewed by the users is on the on-demand module, the card list shows the interactive function entrances of the A card and the C card.

Step S26, receiving the user selection instruction, operating the corresponding card contained in the card list through the host program, including:

step S27, loading the pre-formatted file of the corresponding card through a class loader contained in the host program.

Wherein when the preset format is the dex format, the class loader can be in a dexClassLoader class, and the step S24 is carried out before the step S27.

Step S28, calling the pre-formatted file of the corresponding card through a preset agency class contained in the host program.

wherein an agency class DLProxyActivity can be realized in the host program, when the pre-formatted file of the corresponding card is called through the preset agency class contained in the host program, a code contained in the pre-formatted file is necessary to inherit the agency class DLProxyActivity; the code contained in the pre-formatted file is necessary to realize a specific method contained in the agency class DLProxyActivity, thus, when the pre-formatted file of the corresponding card is called through the preset agency class contained in the host program, the agency class DLProxyActivity is capable of replacing the method contained in the code contained in the pre-formatted file; and therefore the agency class DLProxyActivity of the host program is actually called when the pre-formatted file is called by the agency class DLProxyActivity.

Step S29, operating the host program through the preset virtual machine.

Particularly, because the agency class DLProxyActivity is a shell, when the pre-formatted file is called by the agency class DLProxyActivity, the code actually operated by the virtual machine is the code contained in the pre-formatted file so as to realize that the card can be automatically operated without being installed.

Wherein, the step 29 is that the host program is operated through the preset virtual machine, including:

step S291, updating a resource path of the host program into the resource path which corresponds to the pre-formatted file of the corresponding card.

In the step S291, an object actually operated by the virtual machine is not the self pre-formatted file, namely the context of the object actually operated by the virtual machine is the context of the agency class DLProxyActivity, thus, the virtual machine is incapable of directly accessing the resource (such as a picture, a text and the like) path which corresponds to the code contained in the pre-formatted file, and the virtual machine is capable of accessing a resource which corresponds to the code contained in the pre-formatted file after the resource path of the host program is updated into the resource path which corresponds to the pre-formatted file through the step S291.

Wherein the resource path of the host program can be updated into the resource path which corresponds to the pre-formatted file by adopting a reflection technology in the step S291, and a part of program codes which correspond to a specific method are as follows:

- AssetManager assetManager=AssetManager.class.newInstance( );
- Method addAssetPath=assetManager.getClass( ).getMethod(“addAssetPath”, String.class);
  - addAssetPath.invoke(assetManager, dexPath);

The program codes are used for establishing an AssetManager object according to the resource path which corresponds to the pre-formatted file and adding the resource path which corresponds to the pre-formatted file to the AssetManager object.

In addition, after the program codes are operated, a Resources object can be established through the AssetManager object, the Resources object is a resource object which corresponds to the pre-formatted file, and the virtual machine is capable of accessing the resource which corresponds to the code contained in the pre-formatted file through the Resources object, so that no difference exists between that the users use the interactive function of the card after the host program is operated by the virtual machine and that the users use the interactive function of the card after the card is installed in the smart television.

Step S210, when the card update instruction is served as the card popping instruction, acquiring the pop-up card and operating the pop-up card through the host program.

Wherein in the step S210, when the card update instruction is served as the card popping instruction, the push information of the server includes card popping, so that the pop-up card can be directly acquired; particularly, the integrity of the pop-up card can be checked and the APK file of the pop-up card can be decompressed into the pre-formatted file before the pop-up card is operated through the host program in the step S210, and the operation of the pop-up card is realized through the step S27, the step S28 and the step S29.

Step S211, when the card update instruction is served as an off-line instruction, deleting the corresponding card according to the off-line instruction.

Wherein when the card is formally off-line on the server, the server is capable of immediately notifying the interactive framework SDK inside the smart television by sending the card update instruction, for example, the deletion instruction is sent, the deletion instruction includes off-line card information, such as the card name and the card ID, and the interactive framework SDK is capable of deleting the corresponding card contained in the card list according to the deletion instruction so as to realize that the interactive card can be flexibly off-line according to the operating strategy of the operating background; wherein the deletion of the corresponding card contained in the card list can be equivalent to the deletion of the APK file of the corresponding card.

Particularly, when the card list is started in the step S25, the interactive framework SDK inside the smart television is capable of managing the interface presentation logic; wherein before the interface presentation of the card list is carried out, the interactive framework SDK firstly determines the module of the program currently viewed by the users and then acquires current program information through broadcast interfaces of the interactive framework SDK with the modules (the rotating module, the cable television module, the on-demand module and the like) and synchronizing module information and the current program information to the resident cards contained in the card list, and the pop-up card is filtered by the interactive framework SDK, the card list shows the interaction functions of different resident cards according to the module information and the module authority of the resident cards to enable the users to know that the interactive functions, which are shown by the card list, of the resident cards are relevant to the currently viewed program, so that the interactive experience of the users is enhanced; in addition, the pop-up card can be operated through the host program of the interactive framework SDK, the interactive function of the pop-up card is directly and automatically shown on the smart television, so that the users can further operate the pop-up card without installing the pop-up card, and the user experience is enhanced.

According to the second embodiment of the present disclosure, after the card update instruction is received, when the card update instruction is served as the downloading instruction, the new on-line resident card (with the interactive function) configured according to the operating strategy of the operating background exists in the server at the time, and the new on-line resident card is downloaded from the server according to the downloading instruction; after the integrity of the new on-line resident card is checked through the MD5 value, the APK file of the new on-line resident card is decompressed into the pre-formatted file, such as a dex format file, after the card list startup instruction is received, the card list is started, and after the user selection instruction is received, the pre-formatted file of the corresponding card is loaded through the class loader contained in the host program, the pre-formatted file of the corresponding card is called through the preset agency class contained in the host program, the host program is operated through the preset virtual machine, the card is operated under the uninstalled condition at the time, and the users can normally use the interactive function of the card; when the card update instruction is served as the card popping instruction, the pop-up card is acquired, the pop-up card is operated through the host program, and the appearance time of the pop-up card on the screen of the smart television can be flexibly configured by the operating background according to the operating strategy; when the card update instruction is served as the off-line instruction, the corresponding card is deleted according to the off-line instruction; thus, the smart television is capable of temporarily enabling a new resident card configured by the operating strategy of the operating background to be on line, showing the pop-up card configured by the operating background according to the operating strategy, enabling the cards (including the resident card and the pop-up card) configured by the operating background according to the operating strategy to be off line and automatically and fast showing the interactive functions of the cards under the condition that the installation operation is not carried out on the cards to be used by the users, so that the interactive experience of the users is effectively enhanced.
