Method generating object property related to user interface

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for generating object properties related to a user interface of a digital display device. The method comprises the following steps: editing the user interface via a development tool to generate editing results; checking the editing results according to the checking condition of the development tool to judge whether the user interface matches with the hardware configurations of the digital display device, wherein the checking condition is that the user interface matches with the hardware configurations of the digital display device; generating the object properties of the user interface according to the editing results; and storing the object properties of the user interface in a description file.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a display device, in particular to a digital display device and a development tool thereof. Background technique [0002] In the field of digital display devices (such as digital display devices, LCD monitors, and LCD TVs), since the functions of the digital display devices themselves are quite complicated, the industry must also design a corresponding user interface (User Interface, UI). ), for example: visual control adjustment function (on screen display, OSD). The microprocessor (micro-processor) (or microcontroller micro-controller) (for example: Intel 8051 series) in the digital display device reads and executes the firmware (firmware) stored in the memory, and through the user's operation The OSD can be presented on the digital display device to allow consumers to set the digital display device through the OSD, such as adjusting the brightness of the digital display screen, the color of the digital display device, and t...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] This approach is also quite inconvenient in debugging; for example, because the program source code 100 of the user interface needs to be debugged / modified There may often be more than one part. If the firmware designer cannot handle these errors at one time, then the firmware designer must recompile the source code 100 after each debugging to verify whether the source code 100 written is correct.

In other words, in the process of debugging, all the source code 100 will be compiled repeatedly, and this is not a very efficient thing

And the modified source code 100 may affect other functions due to incorrect modification, so the whole function must be verified once, and the verification of the whole function is also a time-consuming work

[0008]In addition, digital display devices often have some hardware limitations. Therefore, firmware designers must develop their firmware in accordance with hardware limitations, lest the hardware of digital display devices cannot Support for developed firmware

However, the firmware designer is not necessarily the hardware developer of the digital display device, which means that the firmware designer is not necessarily very familiar with its hardware limitations, which also makes firmware development more difficult

As a result, it not only consumes a lot of time, but also reduces the efficiency of firmware development

[0009] In addition, since digital display devices have various sizes and resolutions, each size or resolution must be matched with an OSD of appropriate size. In other words, even The entire function of the digital display device and the OSD are the same, but because the size of the display screen is different, the appearance and size of the OSD must also be adjusted appropriately
