In some embodiments, "items" may display image thumbnails. For example, when the project is a movie or TV series, the project can be displayed as a poster of the movie or TV series. If the item is music, the poster of the music album can be displayed. For example, when the project is an application, it can be displayed as an icon of the application, or a screenshot of the content of the application captured when the application was executed most recently. For example, when the project is a user's access history, it can be displayed as a screenshot of the content during the most recent execution. "Projects" can be displayed as video clips. For example, the project is a dynamic picture of a video clip of a trailer of a TV or TV series.

Such as: signal source input interface collection, or HDMI interface, USB interface, PC terminal interface, etc.

For example, items 2011-2015 are displayed in the first view display area 201 in FIG. 7a, and resources 1-9 are displayed in the second view display area 202. In some embodiments, each item may include text content and/or an image for displaying thumbnails related to the text content, or video clips related to the text. In other embodiments, each item may be the text or icon of the application.

Each item can have the same size or different sizes. In some implementation examples, the size of the item can be changed.

"Selector" is used to indicate that any item has been selected, such as cursor or focus object. According to the user's input through the control device 100, the cursor is moved on the display device 200 to select or control items. According to the user's input through the control device 100, the movement of the focus object displayed in the display device 200 can be selected to select the control item, and one or more items can be selected or controlled. For example, the user can use the arrow keys on the control device 100 to control the movement of the focus object between items to select and control items.

The focus object refers to the object that moves between items based on user input. For example, as shown in FIG. 7a, a thick line is drawn on the edge of the item to realize or identify the position of the focus object 40. In other embodiments, the focus form is not limited to examples. It can be a tangible or intangible form that can be recognized by the user, such as a cursor, such as a 3D deformation of the item, and the border line and size of the text or image of the focused item can also be changed. , Color, transparency, outline, and/or font.

Bluetooth (Bluetooth) is a wireless technology standard that can realize short-distance data exchange between fixed devices, mobile devices, and building personal area networks (using UHF radio waves in the 2.4-2.485 GHz ISM band). Frequency hopping is one of the most commonly used spread spectrum methods. Its working principle refers to a communication method in which the carrier frequency of the transmission signal of the sender and receiver changes discretely according to a predetermined law, that is, the carrier frequency used in the communication process is subject to pseudo-random changes Code control and random jump.

Figure 7 exemplarily shows an implementation scenario of the present application. In this exemplary implementation scenario, the display device includes a first controller, a first Bluetooth connected to the first controller, a second controller, and a second controller. The second Bluetooth to which the controller is connected. There are multiple communication interfaces or serial ports between the first controller and the second controller, so the two controllers can communicate.

In the implementation scenario shown in FIG. 7, the first controller and the second controller may be the first controller 210 and the second controller 310 shown in FIG. 3, and the first Bluetooth may be the same as the first controller in FIG. The connected Bluetooth communication protocol module 232, the second Bluetooth may be the Bluetooth communication protocol module 332 connected to the second controller in FIG. 3.

In the embodiments of the present application, the Bluetooth connected to the controller is also called a Bluetooth module or a Bluetooth communicator.

In the embodiment of the present application, the controller of the display device refers to the first controller and/or the second controller.

According to FIG. 4, the first controller can run the application program 2912 in the memory 290, and the second controller can run the application program 3912 in the memory 390. In order to facilitate the distinction and description, the application programs run by the first controller are collectively referred to as the first application, and the applications run by the second controller are collectively referred to as the second application.

In some embodiments, the applications included in the first application are all third-party applications, such as game applications such as "Xuanwu" and "The Crew"; the second application includes system settings applications and other preset applications, among which others The preset applications are generally proprietary applications of the display device brand, such as social applications such as "Hi See" pre-installed in the Hisense TV operating system. Among them, the system setting application refers to the utility program used to allow the user to modify the system configuration or function. For example, the user can modify the network connection in the system setting application, including opening, closing, and modifying the connected network. Set system parameters in the application, such as sound parameters, display parameters, etc., and then manage various applications in the system settings application, such as uninstalling, deactivating, and so on.

In the above example, since the first controller and the second controller can communicate, the second application such as the system setting application can also send related instructions to the first Bluetooth, and the first Bluetooth can also execute the result of the instruction The data is returned to the second application.

Generally, the display device provides a Bluetooth setting interface for the user through an application (such as a system setting application) on the display device, and the user can set or operate the Bluetooth function of the device through the Bluetooth setting interface. As an example, the user can operate the Bluetooth module in the "System Settings" application.

Figure 8a shows a user interface provided by the "System Settings" application. As shown in Figure 8a, the user interface is equipped with operating controls such as "WI-FI", "General Settings", "Bluetooth and Peripherals". The controls in the interface can be controlled by operating the control device. When the user selects and confirms "Bluetooth and Peripherals" by operating the control device, the Bluetooth setting interface shown in FIG. 8b is entered.

On the Bluetooth setting interface shown in Figure 8b, there are displayed two function icons used to characterize the status of the Bluetooth switch. The two function icons correspond to the first Bluetooth and the second Bluetooth. The user can know each of the Bluetooth switch statuses. The current switch mode of Bluetooth (whether it is off or on), the switch mode of Bluetooth can also be switched by operating the corresponding function icon (control) to control the two Bluetooths separately.

Referring to Figure 8a or 9b, it can be seen that in the close range of the display device 200, there are multiple external Bluetooth devices such as a Bluetooth mouse 801, a Bluetooth keyboard 802, a Bluetooth speaker 803, and a Bluetooth game controller 804, among which at least one Bluetooth device has Bluetooth enabled Function, Bluetooth peripherals with Bluetooth enabled continue to send broadcast information based on the frequency hopping principle. The user can select "Scan Device-OFF" and confirm by operating the control device to input a scan instruction, which is used to instruct the Bluetooth module to scan for external Bluetooth devices. In response to the scan instruction input by the user, the controller controls the Bluetooth module to scan the external Bluetooth device. When the Bluetooth module receives the broadcast information from any Bluetooth device, the device is scanned.

When the display shows the Bluetooth setting interface as shown in FIG. 8b, the user can operate the function icon representing the Bluetooth switch state in the interface by operating the control device to input a switching instruction for switching the Bluetooth switch mode. The controller receives a switching instruction instructing to switch the Bluetooth switch mode, and in response to the received switching instruction, switches the switch mode of the corresponding Bluetooth module. For example, the user can operate the function icon corresponding to the first Bluetooth in the Bluetooth setting interface by operating the control device to input an instruction to switch the switch mode of the first Bluetooth, and in response to the instruction, the controller switches the switch mode of the first Bluetooth , Such as switching from on mode to off mode, or from off mode to on mode.

In some embodiments, after the Bluetooth module completes the switch mode switching process, the controller updates the Bluetooth switch state in the Bluetooth setting interface according to the switched switch mode.

However, in the above example, since the user accurately distinguishes the two Bluetooths according to his own needs, it will undoubtedly cause confusion to the user.

Based on this, the present application provides a display device and a method for displaying the Bluetooth switch status of the display device. The execution body of the method includes but not limited to the controller of the display device. The method is intended to display the Bluetooth switch status through a function icon. Characterize at least two switching modes corresponding to Bluetooth, so as to avoid troubles for users.

In addition, in the process of realizing this idea, the inventor found that the time-consuming process of different Bluetooth switching switch modes is not the same. In other words, even in an ideal situation, two Bluetooth devices can receive the switch mode switching command at the same time. It is difficult for the two to complete the handover at the same time when the handover process is started. Therefore, this application also provides a solution for how to update the switch state button for the display solution (that is, one switch state button displays two Bluetooth switch modes).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a display method for displaying the Bluetooth switch state of a display device according to the present application. This embodiment is applied to a display device, and the display device has at least two Bluetooth communicators. As shown in Figure 9, the method may include:

Step 101: Receive an input instruction to present a Bluetooth setting interface.

Step 102: In response to the instruction indicating the presentation of the Bluetooth setting interface, the Bluetooth setting interface is presented on the display. The Bluetooth setting interface includes a function icon for characterizing the status of the Bluetooth switch, and the Bluetooth switch status is associated with at least two Bluetooth communicators. Associated with the switch pattern.

For example, the user can operate the control for entering the Bluetooth setting interface in the system setting application or other application programs by operating the control device, and input an instruction for presenting the Bluetooth setting interface.

As another example, the user may input an instruction to present the Bluetooth setting interface through voice input.

In some embodiments, the switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface includes an on state, an off state, and a switching state, where the on state and the off state are statically displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface, and the switching state refers to the switch state from the on state ( (Or off state) switch to an intermediate state display of off state (on state), the switching state is dynamically displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface, and the switching state is used to prompt the user to show that the device has responded.

In some embodiments, the switch state displayed on the Bluetooth setting interface is consistent with the switch mode of Bluetooth. Among them, the Bluetooth switch mode includes an on mode and an off mode. When the Bluetooth is in the on mode, it means that the Bluetooth function is turned on, and when the Bluetooth is in the on mode, it means that the Bluetooth function is turned off.

For the display device with at least two Bluetooth modules as shown in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the respective switch states of the two Bluetooth switch modes can be displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface. In other embodiments, , You can display the corresponding switch states of the two Bluetooth switch modes in the Bluetooth setting interface.

As an example of the above-mentioned first display mode, Figure 8b shows a Bluetooth setting interface provided by the system setting application. The Bluetooth setting interface includes two switch state buttons, one of which is used to characterize the switch mode of the first Bluetooth. The second is used to characterize the switch mode of the second Bluetooth. Although in this way, the two Bluetooth switch modes can be accurately displayed, in actual applications, it is easy to cause the user to choose the trouble, that is, it is difficult for the user to select the correct Bluetooth switch to control the corresponding Bluetooth switch according to actual needs. Switch mode, and the above-mentioned second display mode can solve this problem.

As an example of the above second display mode, as shown in 11 exemplarily shows another Bluetooth setting interface, in the Bluetooth setting interface only includes a switch state button, the Bluetooth switch state represented by the switch mode of each Bluetooth Connect, that is, jointly determined according to the switch mode of each Bluetooth.

In specific implementation, when an instruction for presenting the Bluetooth setting interface is received, the current switch mode of each Bluetooth is queried; then it is judged whether the current switch mode of each Bluetooth is the on mode; if so, the display including the on state The Bluetooth setting interface, that is, the on state is displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface; if not, the Bluetooth setting interface including the off state is displayed, that is, the off state is displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface.

Taking the situation involving two Bluetooths in the scenario of this embodiment as an example, the relationship between the switch status displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface and the switch mode of each Bluetooth can be as shown in Table 1:

Table 1

First Bluetooth-Switch Mode Second Bluetooth-switch mode Switch status displayed open open open open turn off turn off turn off open turn off turn off turn off turn off

Step 103: Receive an inputted instruction to switch the switch mode of the Bluetooth communicator.

Step 104: In response to the switching instruction, determine the target Bluetooth, and send the switching instruction to the target Bluetooth, so that the target Bluetooth switches the switch mode.

In this embodiment, the user can check the currently displayed switch state through the presented Bluetooth setting interface to learn the switch mode corresponding to the switch state. Furthermore, users can switch the Bluetooth switch mode according to actual needs. For example, when the displayed switch state is on, the user can input a switching instruction by operating the function icon representing the Bluetooth switch state in the Bluetooth setting interface to switch the Bluetooth from the current on mode to the off mode.

In some embodiments, the Bluetooth setting interface viewed by the user is the interface shown in FIG. 10. In these embodiments, if the controller receives a switching instruction instructing to switch the Bluetooth switch mode, it needs to determine the target Bluetooth to send the switching instruction to the target Bluetooth.

In specific implementation, it is determined whether the current switch mode of each Bluetooth is consistent with the target mode. If not, the Bluetooth is the target Bluetooth, and the target Bluetooth needs to switch its current switch mode to the target mode, where the target mode corresponds to the switching instruction The switch mode.

Taking the situation involving two Bluetooth as an example, the method of determining the target Bluetooth by comparing the current switch mode and the target mode can be shown in Table 2:

Table 2

It can be seen that in some cases, the number of target Bluetooth is one, and in other cases, the number of target Bluetooth is multiple.

It should be noted that in the case where the Bluetooth setting interface is the interface provided by the second controller and the target Bluetooth includes the first Bluetooth, the second controller receives the switching instruction and uses RPC (Remote Procedure Call Protocol) to change The switching instruction is sent to the first controller, and then the switching instruction is sent to the first Bluetooth through the first controller.

In the same way, when the Bluetooth setting interface is the interface provided by the first controller and the target Bluetooth includes the second Bluetooth, the first controller receives the switching instruction, and sends the switching instruction to the second controller through RPC, and then The switching instruction is sent to the second Bluetooth through the second controller.

It should also be noted that the Bluetooth-related data transmitted between the first controller and the second controller in the present application can be forwarded through the aforementioned RPC, which will not be described in detail below.

Step 105: Monitor the broadcast information of the target Bluetooth in the process of switching the switch mode.

After the target Bluetooth receives the switching command, it will execute the process of switching the switch mode. In the prior art, for dual-mode Bluetooth, the process of switching the switch mode generally includes four stages.

In the process of switching from the open mode to the closed mode, the four stages are as follows:

The first stage: STATE_ON→STATE_TURNING_OFF;

The second stage: STATE_TURNING_OFF→STATE_BLE_OFF;

The third stage: STATE_BLE_OFF→STATE_BLE_TURNING_OFF;

The fourth stage: STATE_BLE_TURNING_OFF→STATE_OFF.

In the process of switching from closed mode to open mode, the four stages are as follows:

The first stage: STATE_OFF→STATE_BLE_TURNING_ON;

The second stage: STATE_BLE_TURNING_ON→STATE_BLE_ON;

The third stage: STATE_BLE_ON→STATE_TURNING_ON;

The fourth stage: STATE_TURNING_ON→STATE_ON.

In the process of performing switch mode switching, the target Bluetooth will send corresponding broadcast information to inform the upper layer of relevant information after each stage.

The embodiment of this application monitors whether each target Bluetooth has responded to the switching instruction or has completed the switching mode by monitoring the broadcast information sent by each target Bluetooth during the switch mode switch, thereby updating the switch status displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface .

In addition, in order to be able to increase the update speed of the Bluetooth setting interface, to make the user’s experience more friendly, and to quickly identify abnormal situations, such as abnormal Bluetooth functions, loss of information, etc., in some preferred embodiments of the application, the monitoring is preset Duration: Monitor the target Bluetooth broadcast information during the monitoring duration. When the monitoring time reaches the monitoring duration, the monitoring is stopped, and based on the results monitored during the monitoring duration, a judgment is made whether there is an abnormality, and the normal flow or the flow corresponding to the abnormal situation is executed according to the judgment result.

Step 104: Update the Bluetooth switch status displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface according to the broadcast information.

As mentioned earlier, the target Bluetooth will send corresponding broadcast information after each stage is completed during the switch mode switching process. For easy distinction, the embodiment of the application collectively refers to the broadcast information sent by the target Bluetooth when the switch mode is switched as the first broadcast information, that is, the broadcast information sent by the target Bluetooth in the first stage of the switch mode switching process; The broadcast information sent after the switching of the switch mode is completed is collectively called the second transmission information, that is, the broadcast information sent by the target Bluetooth in the fourth stage of the switch mode switching process.

In a possible implementation, if the number of target Bluetooth is 1, then when the target Bluetooth completes the switch mode switch, the switch state displayed on the Bluetooth setting interface is updated. If the number of target Bluetooth is greater than 1, then each When the target Bluetooth has completed the switch mode switch, then update the switch state displayed on the Bluetooth setting interface. Then, in this implementation, due to the difference in the length of time required for different Bluetooth to perform the switch mode, and the delay caused by the switching instruction and the transmission process of the broadcast information between the two hardware systems, the implementation is updated. The switching speed is too slow, which affects the user's experience, for example, it will cause the user to misunderstand that Bluetooth is not responding.

In order to enable the Bluetooth setting interface to be updated in time to quickly respond to user operations, in a preferred implementation, when the first broadcast information of at least one target Bluetooth is monitored, the current switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is changed Update to the switching state; when the second broadcast information sent by each target Bluetooth is monitored, the current switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is updated to the target state. The target state refers to the switch state corresponding to the switching instruction. If the currently displayed switch state is the on state, the target state is the off state, and if the currently displayed switch state is the off state, the target state is the on state. The switching state refers to an intermediate state display in the process of switching the switch state from the current state (open state or closed state) to the target state (closed state or open state). The switching state is dynamically displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface to remind the user The display device has responded.

As an example, Figure 11 shows a Bluetooth settings interface provided by the system settings application. In the Bluetooth settings interface, the currently displayed switch state is the switching state. Through the dynamic circular icon indicating the switching state, the user can know the display The device is currently switching the Bluetooth switch mode.

Specifically, if the number of target Bluetooth is 1, when the first broadcast information sent by the target Bluetooth is monitored, the current switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is updated to the switching state, and the target is monitored. When the second broadcast message is sent by Bluetooth, the current switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is updated to the target state. If the number of target Bluetooth is greater than 1, when the first broadcast information sent by any one of the target Bluetooth is monitored, the current switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is updated to the switching state, and when each target Bluetooth is monitored When the second broadcast information is sent, the current switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is updated to the target state.

Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of an implementation scenario of an embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 12, first, the system setting application sends a switch mode switching instruction to the first Bluetooth and the second Bluetooth. After receiving the switching instruction, the first Bluetooth and the second Bluetooth execute the switch mode switching process respectively, and at different times Send broadcast information to the system settings application one after another. When the system setting application obtains the first broadcast information, no matter which Bluetooth is sent, the switch status displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface will be updated to the switching state, until the second broadcast information sent by two Bluetooth is received. Update the switching status displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface to the target status.

With this implementation method, the Bluetooth setting interface can be updated in time to quickly respond to user operations through the Bluetooth setting interface, making the user experience more friendly.

It should be noted that, in the case of preset monitoring duration, the monitoring processes involved in the above embodiments are all performed within the preset monitoring duration. If the broadcast information of the target Bluetooth is not received within the listening time period, it can be regarded as an abnormal situation, and an abnormal situation processing procedure needs to be executed.

Specifically, the abnormal situation may be that at least one target Bluetooth fails to send the first broadcast information or the second broadcast information within the listening period. For example, in the case where the number of target Bluetooth is 1, the target Bluetooth does not send the first broadcast information. One broadcast information or no second broadcast information. In the case where the number of target Bluetooth is greater than 1, any one of the target Bluetooth does not send the first broadcast information or does not send the second broadcast information. Wherein, not sending the first broadcast information means that the target Bluetooth has not responded to the switch mode switching instruction or has not received the switch mode switching instruction, and not sending the second broadcast information means that the target Bluetooth has not completed the switch mode switching or the switch failed.

In view of the above abnormal situation, the switch mode switching instruction can be re-sent to the target Bluetooth that has not sent broadcast information, and continue to monitor the target Bluetooth during the next monitoring period, so as to solve the abnormality caused by the instruction loss. If within another monitoring time period, the aforementioned target Bluetooth that continues to be monitored still does not send the first broadcast message or the second broadcast message, the current switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is kept unchanged.

It should be noted that in this implementation, the switch mode switching instruction can be re-transmitted to the Bluetooth target that did not send the first broadcast information or the second broadcast information every other listening time period, until the preset number of transmissions is reached, or until it reaches The preset duration. If the first broadcast information and the second broadcast information sent by the target Bluetooth are successively monitored before the preset number of sending times or the preset duration is reached, the corresponding step of updating the Bluetooth setting interface is performed.

By adopting this implementation method, it is possible to quickly identify the abnormality of the Bluetooth in the switch mode switching process, and give the user a correct prompt through the Bluetooth setting interface, instead of making the user wait forever.

In addition, if the switching instruction indicates to turn on Bluetooth, it specifically includes the three situations shown in Table 3 below:

table 3

In the above scenario 1, if the second Bluetooth is abnormal, that is, the opening fails, after determining that the second Bluetooth fails to be opened, the first Bluetooth is turned off, and the switch state in the Bluetooth setting interface is kept unchanged.

In the above scenario 2, if the first Bluetooth is abnormal, that is, the opening fails, after determining that the first Bluetooth fails to be opened, the second Bluetooth is turned off, and the switch state in the Bluetooth setting interface is kept unchanged.

In case 3 above, if the first Bluetooth and/or the second Bluetooth are abnormal, that is, the opening fails, after determining that the first Bluetooth and/or the second Bluetooth fails to be turned on, turn off the successfully opened Bluetooth (the first Bluetooth or the second Bluetooth). 2. Bluetooth), and keep the switch status in the Bluetooth setting interface unchanged.

By adopting this implementation method, it is possible to prevent Bluetooth from working without the user's knowledge, thereby avoiding unexpected situations in which Bluetooth peripherals reconnect.

In another embodiment, when an abnormal situation of a target Bluetooth switch failure occurs, while keeping the switch state displayed on the Bluetooth setting interface unchanged, a message to prompt the user of the switch failure is generated and popped up on the Bluetooth setting interface To prompt the user.
