Abstract

An OSD subject file obtaining method and providing method, a digital television, a cloud sever and a OSD subject file updating system, by which the digital television obtains OSD subject files in real time from the cloud server through network. The OSD subject file obtaining method includes transmitting, by a digital television, to a cloud server a request instruction to access an OSD subject file library; accessing, by the digital television, the OSD subject file library on the cloud server through a link path established for the digital television by the cloud server according to the request instruction; selecting, by the digital television, at least one OSD subject file from the OSD subject file library; and obtaining, by the digital television, the OSD subject file selected by the digital television based on access path generated by the cloud server for each OSD subject file selected by the digital television.

First claim

1 . A method for obtaining an On-Screen Display (OSD) subject file, comprising:
transmitting, by a digital television, to a cloud server a request instruction to access an OSD subject file library; accessing, by the digital television, the OSD subject file library on the cloud server through a link path established for the digital television by the cloud server according to the request instruction; selecting, by the digital television, at least one OSD subject file from the OSD subject file library; and obtaining, by the digital television, the OSD subject file selected by the digital television based on access path generated by the cloud server for each OSD subject file selected by the digital television.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the digital television comprises a master and a remote controller, and said transmitting, by a digital television, to a cloud server a request instruction to access an OSD subject file library comprises:
the master receiving an instruction to obtain the OSD subject file transmitted by the remote controller; and the master transmitting the request instruction to access the OSD subject file library to the cloud server in response to the instruction to obtain the OSD subject file.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the digital television comprises a master and a remote controller, and said selecting, by the digital television, at least one OSD subject file from the OSD subject file library comprises:
the master receiving a determination instruction transmitted from the remote controller; and the master transmitting a message for selecting the at least one OSD subject file from the OSD subject file library to the cloud server according to the determination instruction.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , said obtaining, by the digital television, the OSD subject file selected by the digital television based on the access path generated by the cloud server for each OSD subject file selected by the digital television comprises:
downloading, by the digital television, the OSD subject file through the access path generated by the cloud server for each OSD subject file selected by the digital television; and storing the downloaded OSD subject file to the digital television itself or to a storage device connected to the digital television.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the digital television comprises a master and a remote controller, and said storing the downloaded OSD subject file to the digital television itself or to the storage device connected to the digital television comprises:
the master receiving a storage instruction transmitted from the remote controller; the master storing the downloaded OSD subject file locally or to the storage device connected to the master according to the storage instruction.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving, by the master, an OSD subject file browsing instruction transmitted from the remote controller and browsing the OSD subject files stored locally or in the storage device connected to the master according to the OSD subject file browsing instruction; and receiving, by the master, an OSD subject file updating instruction, selecting an OSD subject file to be updated from the OSD subject files stored locally or in the storage device connected to the master according to the OSD subject file updating instruction, and using the OSD subject file to be updated as a current OSD subject file of the digital television.

7 . A method for providing an OSD subject file, comprising:
establishing, by a cloud server, a link path for a digital television according to an access request to access an OSD subject file library received from the digital television; generating, by the cloud server, a access path for each OSD subject file selected by the digital television according to an OSD subject file selecting instruction transmitted from the digital television through the link path; transmitting, by the cloud server, the access path to the digital television through the link path, so as to instruct the digital television to obtain the selected OSD subject files based on the access path.

8 . A digital television, a master of which comprises:
a requesting module, configured to transmit to a cloud server a request instruction to access an OSD subject file library; an accessing module, configured to access the OSD subject file library on the cloud server through a link path established for the digital television by the cloud server according to the request instruction; a selecting module, configured to select at least one OSD subject file from the OSD subject file library; and an obtaining module, configured to obtain the selected OSD subject file based on access path generated by the cloud server for each selected OSD subject file.

9 . The digital television according to claim 8 , further comprising a remote controller, wherein the remote controller is configured to transmit an instruction to obtain the OSD subject file to the master, and
the requesting module is particularly configured to: receive the instruction to obtain the OSD subject file transmitted by the remote controller; and transmit the request instruction to access the OSD subject file library to the cloud server in response to the instruction to obtain the OSD subject file.

10 . The digital television according to claim 8 , further comprising a remote controller, wherein the remote controller is configured to transmit, to the master, a determination instruction to instruct the master to transmit, to the cloud server, a message for selecting at least one OSD subject file from the OSD subject file library, and
the selecting module is particularly configured to:
receive the determination instruction transmitted from the remote controller; and
transmit the message for selecting the at least one OSD subject file from the OSD subject file library to the cloud server according to the determination instruction.

11 . The digital television according to claim 8 , the obtaining module is particularly configured to:
download the OSD subject file based on the access path generated by the cloud server for each OSD subject file selected by the digital television; and store the downloaded OSD subject file locally to the master or to a storage device connected to the master.

12 . The digital television according to claim 11 , further comprising a remote controller, wherein the remote controller is configured to transmit to the master a storage instruction for instructing the master to store the downloaded OSD subject file locally to the master or to a storage device connected to the master; and
the obtaining module, when storing the downloaded OSD subject file locally to the master or to the storage device connected to the master, is in particular configured to: receive the storage instruction transmitted from the remote controller; and store the downloaded OSD subject file locally to the master or to the storage device connected to the master according to the storage instruction.

13 . The digital television according to claim 11 , further comprising a remote controller, wherein the remote controller is configured to transmit to the master an OSD subject file browsing instruction and an OSD subject file updating instruction,
wherein the master further comprises an updating module which is configured to:
receive the OSD subject file browsing instruction transmitted from the remote controller and browsing the OSD subject files stored locally in the master or in the storage device connected to the master according to the OSD subject f
