Embodiment Construction

[0012] see figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of a device (such as a television 10 ), which can be operated by a full-featured remote control 14 or a simple remote control 12 . A user interface 24 (such as a menu) is activated on the television 10 . A full-featured user interface can be activated by the full-function controller 14, and a simple user interface can be activated by the simple remote control 12.

[0013] The simple remote control includes buttons 16 for the user to perform limited settings on the TV 10, and the limited settings may include channel selection, volume control, sound quality adjustment, picture brightness, picture contrast and so on. The simple remote control 12 also includes a reset button 18 for resetting the TV 10 to a preset default setting (such as a factory setting). The reset key 18 can be used, for example, when some settings are modified by the full-function remote controller 14, and the user may wish to restore them to the factory settings....

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for providing an optimal user interface, and a device thereof. The device comprises a simple remote controller used for entering a simple user interface in which the user is allowed to adjust limited adjustable menu systems, and a full function remote controller used for entering a full function user interface in which the user is allowed to adjust all adjustable menu systems. The simple remote controller and the full function remote controller send separately different identifying codes to the device that determines which user interface to be enabled according to the different identifying codes. The technical proposal of the invention provides a user with an optimal user interface even with a single machine type and satisfies acceptance abilities of different users.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a user interface technology, in particular to a device and method for providing an optimal user interface. Background technique [0002] As televisions and their user interfaces become more and more complex, users need to face one selection menu after another for controlling picture, sound, parental control, time, parameter and variable setting, etc. Many users want to be able to control every aspect of their TV's performance and welcome the option. However, the multitude of settings, most of which do not need to be changed, can be daunting and confusing to many other users. [0003] One way to solve the above problem is to produce different models, some with complex user interfaces (to cater to TV fans), and others with simple user interfaces. But the problem with this approach is that there must be specific supply chains, stores, user menus, and manufacturing processes for these redundant models. [0004] Another method to...
