Processing method and apparatus for misoperation, and display device

Abstract

A misoperation processing method includes determining, in response to triggering a misoperation cancellation step, display status information of a display device. The display status information is stored in a data storage area of the display device before the misoperation occurs. The method also includes restoring a display status of the display device that existed before the misoperation occurred based on the determined display status information.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 201510472357.4 filed on Aug. 4, 2015, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND[0002]Embodiments of the present invention relate to a misoperation processing method and apparatus, and a display device.[0003]When a user employs display devices, for example, a television (TV) set, he / she might accidentally make a misoperation with a remote controller and send the television unintended signals. For example, if the user sends a signal or selects a channel by misoperation in which the TV set searches channels, it will take a long time to wait for the TV set to complete the search of all channels because there are quite a lot channels for the TV set. At this time, if the user presses a return key, the channel of the TV set would stay at the channel being searched. And, there are many channels that have not been searched and those channels would ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a method, apparatus, and display device for quickly cancelling and restoring the display status of a display device that has made a misoperation, such as accidentally touching a button or swiping through a gallery of images. The method involves pre-storing the display status information of the display device in a data storage area and then restoring the display status based on this information when the misoperation is canceled. This allows for quicker restoration of the display device to its original state before the misoperation occurs, improving the user experience. The method also includes evaluating whether to enter a mode of misoperation cancellation based on the user's input. Overall, the invention provides a faster and more efficient way to manage misoperations on display devices.

Problems solved by technology

When a user employs display devices, for example, a television (TV) set, he / she might accidentally make a misoperation with a remote controller and send the television unintended signals.

For example, if the user sends a signal or selects a channel by misoperation in which the TV set searches channels, it will take a long time to wait for the TV set to complete the search of all channels because there are quite a lot channels for the TV set.

And, there are many channels that have not been searched and those channels would not be stored in the TV set because the search does not complete.

It might be difficult for the users who are unfamiliar with the operation of the TV set to restore the TV set.

However, the return key can merely be used to let a sub-menu return to the higher level menu but cannot cause a display screen restore to the display status before the user misoperation.
