Description

Methods, apparatus, devices, media, and products for interacting with television equipment. Technical Field

[0001] The exemplary embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to the field of computers, and particularly to methods, apparatus, electronic devices, computer-readable storage media, and computer program products for interacting with television equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of information technology, various electronic devices can provide people with a variety of services in work and life. For example, electronic devices can have at least one application installed to provide services, and each application can be configured to provide a specific service. Electronic devices can also provide different web pages. For example, electronic devices can provide application web pages. Electronic devices can provide different content to users through web pages. For example, taking a television device as an example, a television device can provide users with multimedia content such as videos, images, image sets, and text through web pages. However, compared to conventional electronic devices with a full keyboard, a television device's remote control has only a few buttons and can only provide limited control functions. Users need to repeatedly press various buttons to move the input focus displayed on the television device. At this point, a simpler and more efficient way to interact with the television device is desired.

[0019] In this document, unless explicitly stated otherwise, performing a step in response to A does not mean that the step is performed immediately after A, but may include one or more intermediate steps.

[0020] It is understood that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and related provisions.

[0021] It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in this disclosure through appropriate means in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and user authorization should be obtained.

[0022] For example, in response to receiving a user's active request, a prompt message is sent to the user to clearly inform the user that the requested operation will require the acquisition and use of the user's personal information, thereby enabling the user to choose whether to provide personal information to the software or hardware such as electronic devices, applications, servers or storage media that perform the operation of the technical solution disclosed herein, based on the prompt message.

[0023] As an optional but non-restrictive implementation, in response to a user's active request, a prompt message can be sent to the user, such as a pop-up window, where the prompt message can be presented in text format.

[0025] Traditionally, electronic devices have a full keyboard (e.g., including 26 letters, other symbols, and control keys), allowing users to interact conveniently with them. However, television remotes typically have only a few buttons and offer limited control functionality. In this case, a "soft keyboard" and input focus can be displayed on the television screen, requiring the user to repeatedly press various buttons to move the displayed input focus. Therefore, a simpler and more efficient way to interact with televisions is desired.

[0026] Embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for interacting with a television device. The method includes: providing a search page for an application on the television device, the television device having a controller for controlling the application page, the search page including a keyboard area, the keyboard area including: a character area including multiple character units for inputting multiple characters respectively; and a control area including multiple control units for controlling at least one input character; in response to determining that an interaction with the controller is for moving the input focus in the search page from the character area to the control area, selecting a target control unit from the multiple control units based on the at least one input character; and setting the input focus to correspond to the target control unit. Various example implementations of this solution are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example Environment

[0028] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented. As shown in Figure 1, the example environment 100 may include a television device 110.

[0029] In this example environment 100, the television device 110 may include a computing unit, which may include at least one application 115. It is understood that although only one application is shown in the figure, there may actually be one or more applications, and if multiple applications are included, these applications may be used to provide different services. Application 115 may include any suitable type of application, including but not limited to content sharing applications, content presentation applications, communication applications, game applications, etc. User 140 may interact with application 115 via television device 110 and / or its attached devices. For ease of description, the process of interacting with the television device is described below using only a content sharing application as an example.

[0030] In some embodiments, application 115 includes a content-sharing application and / or a communication application that communicates with a content-sharing application installed on a computing device (e.g., computing device 160) different from the television device 110. The communication application is used to receive data from computing device 160 in order to transmit the received data to the television device 110. In this case, the television device 110 can receive and display the content projected from the computing device. This can enrich the application scenarios of the television device 110.

[0031] In environment 100 of Figure 1, if application 115 is active, television device 110 can display page 150 to support page interaction through application 115. Page 150 may include various types of pages that application 115 can provide, such as content presentation pages, search pages, search result presentation pages, personal homepages, etc.

[0032] In some embodiments, the television device 110 has a controller 120 (e.g., a remote control). A communication connection exists between the television device 110 and the controller 120, which can be established via wired or wireless means. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, infrared connections, Bluetooth connections, mobile network connections, Universal Serial Bus connections, Wi-Fi connections, etc., and the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this respect.

[0033] The controller 120 has at least one operation control, which can be an actual physical button or a virtual control. For example, the controller 120 may include a display screen, on which at least one operation control may be displayed. The user 140 can interact with the television device 110 by triggering the operation control of the controller 120. For example, the user 140 can control the page 150 presented by the television device 110 by triggering a specific control of the controller 120.

[0034] In some embodiments, the television device 110 can also communicate with the server 130 to provide services to the application 115. A communication connection can be established between the server 130 and the television device 110. This communication connection can be established via wired or wireless means. The server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 130 may include, for example, a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, edge computing node, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc. The server 130 can provide backend services for the application 115 in the television device 110.

[0035] In some embodiments, the television device 110 can communicate with the computing device 160. A communication connection can be established between the television device 110 and the computing device 160, which can be established via wired or wireless means. In some embodiments, both the television device 110 and the computing device 160 may have a communication application installed, enabling them to communicate via this application. The computing device 160 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the computing device 160 may also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0036] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0037] Example Interaction

[0038] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrates an example interaction process according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 2A to 2O illustrate examples 200A to 200O according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. For ease of description, the detailed process of interaction management is described below using a television device placed in landscape mode only as an example. Alternatively and / or additionally, the television device may be placed in portrait mode. It should be understood that the various examples shown in the drawings are merely examples, and various designs may actually exist. For each page in the examples (e.g., other examples besides example 200C in examples 200A to 200O), the various graphic elements in the page may have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more elements may be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements may also be present. Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. The page may be presented on the television device 110. For ease of discussion, examples 200A to 200O will be described with reference to environment 100 of Figure 1.

[0039] In environment 100, television device 110 displays a page 150 of application 115. In some cases, page 150 displayed by television device 110 may be a specific page of application 115 (e.g., a content sharing application). In some embodiments, the page may be the application's search page. The search page includes at least a keyboard area for displaying a soft keyboard. In some embodiments, the search page may also include an input box 210. The input box 210 may be used to display at least one character entered via the keyboard area.

[0040] The keyboard area includes a character area, which includes multiple character units for inputting multiple characters. The keyboard area may also include a control area, which may include multiple control units for controlling at least one input character. In some embodiments, the multiple control units may include a clearing unit for clearing at least one character and a search unit for searching for at least one character. The multiple control units may also include any other suitable control units, which are not limited herein.

[0041] In some embodiments, the search page may further include a search suggestion area 240. The search suggestion area 240 may include suggestion words matching at least one character. These suggestion words may be determined from the historical search records of multiple users (including user 140). Each user's historical search record may indicate at least one search term entered by the user and the number of times each search term was searched, with each search term including at least one character. Search terms including at least one character can be determined from the historical search records of multiple users and identified as suggestion words to be presented in the search suggestion area. For example, if the historical search records include the search terms “APPLE”, “ALICE”, “HAPPY”, and “LUCKY”, and the user entered at least one character, “A”, then the search terms “APPLE” and “ALICE”, which include the character “A”, can be identified as suggestion words.

[0042] In some embodiments, when there are many suggested terms, the suggested terms can be sorted in descending order based on the number of times each corresponding search term is searched by multiple users. Multiple suggested terms can then be presented in the search suggestion area according to the sorting results. It is understood that suggested terms can also be determined based on any other appropriate method, and this disclosure does not limit the method of determining suggested terms.

[0043] In some embodiments, the television device 110 has a first dimension and a second dimension, where the first dimension is greater than the second dimension, and the keyboard area and search suggestion area are presented along the direction of the second dimension. For example, taking the first dimension as a horizontal dimension and the second dimension as a vertical dimension, if the horizontal dimension is greater than the vertical dimension, it can be determined that the keyboard area and search suggestion area are presented along the vertical dimension, for example, in a top-to-bottom order. If the horizontal dimension is less than the vertical dimension, it can be determined that the keyboard area and search suggestion area are presented along the horizontal dimension, for example, in a left-to-right order.

[0044] For ease of description, this article uses the example of the keyboard area and search suggestion area being presented along a vertical dimension. In some embodiments, the keyboard area has a third dimension and a fourth dimension, where the third dimension is greater than the fourth dimension and is parallel to the first dimension. For example, the third dimension can be a horizontal dimension, and the fourth dimension can be a vertical dimension. Therefore, the keyboard area and search suggestion area can be arranged along the smaller dimension, resulting in shorter distances along the smaller dimension and thus fewer interactions and shorter paths for moving the input focus. Setting up the keyboard area and search suggestion area in this way reduces the number of keystrokes required to move the input focus between the two areas, thereby improving interaction efficiency.

[0045] In some embodiments, the search page may also include a recommendation area. The recommendation area may include at least one recommended object within the application. At least one recommended object may include at least one suggestion word, at least one user, at least one content item, etc. The at least one suggestion word may be a search term with a high search volume corresponding to multiple users. The at least one user may be a user whose number of followers or whose work has been interacted with (likes, comments, favorites, etc.) more than a threshold. The at least one content item may be a content item posted by a specific user (e.g., a user with a number of followers exceeding a threshold, a user followed by 140 users, etc.), a content item whose number of interactions exceeds a threshold, etc. In this document, "content item" may include one or more types of content, such as videos, images, GIFs, image sets, audio, text, or combinations thereof, etc. It is understood that at least one recommended object may also include any other object, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0046] As shown in Figures 2A and 2B, Examples 200A and 200B illustrate two examples of a search page. Examples 200A and 200B include an input box 210, a keyboard area, a search suggestion area 240, and a recommendation area 250. The keyboard area includes a character area 220 and a control area 230. The recommendation area 250 includes at least one recommended object from the application. In Example 200A, the titles of at least one recommended object are displayed in a list format.

[0047] In Example 200B, at least one recommended object is at least one content item. Control area 230 includes a clear unit and a search unit. In some embodiments, in response to a user interaction instruction to input characters via character area 220, input box 210 may display at least one input character (e.g., the character “XXXX” shown in the figure), and a cursor “|” after the currently input character. This cursor may indicate that a character is being entered. Input focus may be displayed on the page; for example, the character “A”, a prompt in search suggestion area 240, or a recommended object in the recommendation area may be displayed in a highlighted manner (e.g., highlight, shadow, large font, etc.) to indicate input focus. In Example 200B, the content of at least one recommended object is displayed as a thumbnail.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in Example 200A, the character area 220 includes a backspace unit (also referred to as a delete unit) 221, which, in response to being triggered, deletes a character in the input box 210 that is preceding the cursor (e.g., the cursor "|"). The difference between the backspace unit 221 and the clear unit is that the backspace unit 221 is only used to clear the most recently entered character, while the clear unit clears all characters that have been entered at once.

[0049] The controller 120 of the television device 110 includes vertical and horizontal control keys to control the direction of input focus movement. The vertical control keys include an up key and a down key, and the horizontal control keys include a left key and a right key. In some embodiments, the controller 120 may also include other control keys, such as a back key, a power key, an OK key, etc. This disclosure does not limit the specific control keys included in the controller 120. As shown in FIG2C, Example 200C illustrates an example of the controller 120. Example 200C includes an up key 201, a down key 204, a left key 202, and a right key 203. Example 200C may also include an OK key 205 and a back key 206.

[0050] User 140 can interact with controller 120 by triggering different control keys. Interaction with controller 120 can be used to move the input focus on the search page. In some embodiments, when inputting characters through character area 220, the input focus can be a character unit in the character area, the character at the input focus is entered, and the entered character is displayed in input box 210. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a trigger operation on the down key 204 of controller 120, the input focus on the search page is moved down. When the input focus is located at the lower edge of character area 220, the down-moving operation can move the input focus from character area 220 to control area 230.

[0051] In some embodiments, the television device 110 may, in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the down arrow 204 in the vertical control keys) on the controller 120, determine that the interaction is for moving the input focus on the search page from the character area 220 to the control area 230. The television device 110 may, in response to determining that the interaction with the controller 120 is for moving the input focus on the search page from the character area to the control area, select a target control unit from a plurality of control units (e.g., a clear unit and a search unit) based on at least one character entered (i.e., at least one character currently presented in the input box 210), and set the input focus to the corresponding target control unit.

[0052] Television device 110 can, for example, determine the user's interaction intent based on at least one input character, and select a target control unit from multiple control units based on the interaction intent. Interaction intents include clearing intents and / or searching intents. It is understood that if the interaction intent is determined to be a clearing intent, the clearing unit is selected as the target control unit; if the interaction intent is determined to be a searching intent, the searching unit is selected as the target control unit. Therefore, by determining the interaction intent, the appropriate control unit can be selected automatically, which improves the convenience and efficiency of the user in selecting the control unit.

[0053] Regarding the specific method for determining the interaction intent, in some embodiments, the interaction intent can be determined using a machine learning model based on at least one input character. This machine learning model can be trained using multiple historical user inputs and corresponding interaction intents. The machine learning model can be based on any suitable model architecture, including but not limited to Transformer models, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), etc. For example, the model input can be determined based on at least one character, and the interaction intent corresponding to that at least one character can be determined by feeding the model input to the trained machine learning model.

[0054] In some embodiments, the interaction intent can also be determined based on the length of at least one input character (i.e., the number of characters included in at least one character). For example, a length threshold can be obtained in advance. The interaction intent can be determined based on the comparison between the length of at least one character and the length threshold. For example, if the length of at least one character reaches the length threshold, the interaction intent corresponding to at least one character can be determined to be a search intent. If the length of at least one character does not reach the length threshold, the interaction intent corresponding to at least one character can be determined to be a clear intent.

[0055] In some embodiments, the interaction intent can also be determined based on the semantics of at least one input character. For example, if at least one character is a complete word or sentence, that is, if at least one character has complete semantics, then the interaction intent corresponding to at least one character can be determined to be a search intent. If at least one character does not have complete semantics, then the interaction intent corresponding to at least one character can be determined to be a clear intent.

[0056] In some embodiments, the interaction intent corresponding to at least one character can also be determined based on whether at least one character has a corresponding object. For example, if it is determined that at least one character indicates a user's name or the name of a content item, then the interaction intent corresponding to at least one character can be determined to be a search intent. It is understood that this disclosure can use any appropriate method to determine the interaction intent, and this disclosure does not limit the specific method of determining the interaction intent.

[0057] In some embodiments, the target control unit can be highlighted on the search page. For example, the target control unit can be highlighted, enlarged, changed color, or flashed to highlight it on the search page. As shown in Figure 2D, Example 200D illustrates an example of a search page. In Example 200D, in response to determining that the interaction intent corresponding to at least one entered character (e.g., “Alice”) is a search intent, the search unit is determined to be the target control unit. The search unit can be selected as the target control unit and the input focus set to correspond to the target control unit, in response to determining that the interaction with controller 120 is used to move the input focus from the character area to the control area on the search page. In Example 200D, the search unit can be highlighted to indicate that the search unit is the target control unit and the input focus. In some embodiments, if the input focus is the search unit, at least one character in input box 210 can be determined as the word to be searched.

[0058] In some embodiments, in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the down arrow 204 in the vertical control keys) on the controller 120, it can be determined that the interaction is for moving the input focus on the search page from the control area 230 to the search suggestion area 240. In response to determining that the interaction is for moving the input focus on the search page from the control area 230 to the search suggestion area 240, it can be determined that the input focus should be selected from at least one suggestion word in the search suggestion area 240. The input focus is also the currently selected suggestion word.

[0059] For example, if the interaction is used to move the input focus from the control area 230 to the search suggestion area 240, the first suggestion word in the search suggestion area 240 (i.e., the suggestion word displayed at the top) can be identified as the input focus. In this case, in response to receiving an interaction with the down arrow key 204, the second suggestion word in the search suggestion area 240 (e.g., suggestion word 241 in example 200E shown in FIG. 2E) can be identified as the input focus. Thus, by triggering the control key of the controller, a suggestion word can be selected as the input focus from at least one suggestion word in the search suggestion area 240. It can be understood that the suggestion word corresponding to the input focus in the search suggestion area 240 is also the word to be searched.

[0060] It is understandable that if the suggested words in the search suggestion area 240 are selected as the input focus, the vertical dimension is smaller, thus requiring fewer interactions. This allows users to select the input focus with fewer interactions, thereby improving user interaction efficiency.

[0061] In some embodiments, in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the right arrow key 203 in the horizontal control keys) on the controller 120, it can be determined that the interaction is for moving the input focus on the search page from the input box 210, the keyboard area, the search suggestion area 240, to the recommendation area 250. If the recommendation area 250 includes at least one recommended object that is at least one title (refer to Example 200A), in response to determining that the interaction is for moving the input focus on the search page to the recommendation area 250, it can be determined that the input focus should be determined among the at least one title included in the recommendation area 250. The input focus is also the currently selected title.

[0062] As shown in Example 200F, in response to an interaction that moves the input focus to the recommendation area 250, the first title in the recommendation area 250 (i.e., the title 251 displayed at the top) can be identified as the input focus. In this case, in response to receiving an interaction with the down arrow key 204, the second suggestion word in the search suggestion area 240 can be identified as the input focus. Thus, by triggering a control key on the controller 120, a suggestion word can be selected as the input focus from at least one suggestion word in the search suggestion area 240. It can be understood that the suggestion word corresponding to the input focus in the search suggestion area 240 is also the word to be searched.

[0063] In some embodiments, after determining the word to be searched (i.e., at least one character in the input box 210, a suggestion word in the search suggestion area 240, or a title in the recommendation area 250), a search can be performed in response to receiving an interaction with the confirm key 205 on the controller 120. The television device 110 can update the search page to display search results matching the word. For example, the search results can be displayed on the current level of the page, for example, by entering and displaying them from the right side of the page via animation. Compared to existing technologies that display search results on secondary pages, displaying search results on the current page can reduce page depth and avoid the resource overhead of loading lower-level pages. Furthermore, the waiting delay of exiting a lower-level page and returning to the upper-level page can be avoided.

[0064] Referring to Figure 2G, Example 200G illustrates an example of an updated search page. The updated search page shown in Example 200G presents a search box 212 and search results corresponding to the searched term (e.g., at least one character or suggestion word). The search box 212 is used to present the searched term. In some embodiments, the search results include a target user corresponding to the searched term and at least one content item corresponding to the searched term.

[0065] In some embodiments, the target user should be a verified user whose name matches the searched term (e.g., the user's name includes the searched term, the user's description includes the searched term, the user's tags include the searched term, etc.). Verified users may be, for example, users from specific organizations or users with a certain number of followers. In some embodiments, Example 200G includes region 260, which is used to present the target user's user information (which may include the user's avatar, user name, user description, etc.) and at least one content item posted by the target user. Example 200G may also include region 270, which is used to present at least one content item corresponding to the searched term, which may be a content item posted by a user other than the target user. In some embodiments, the at least one content item presented in region 270 may also include a content item posted by the target user.

[0066] The input focus in the updated search page can indicate the content to be presented. In some embodiments, such as Example 200G, the input focus can default to the user information of the target user in area 260. In Example 200G, in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the right arrow key 203 in the horizontal control keys) on the controller 120, based on the direction of the control key (e.g., the direction "right"), referring to Example 200H shown in FIG2H, the first content item among at least one content item located to the right of the target user's user information is determined as the input focus.

[0067] In Example 200G or Example 200H, in response to receiving an interaction with the back key 206 or the left key 202 in the controller 120, Example 200I, as shown in FIG2I, is presented, illustrating an example of a search page. In Example 200I, the input focus corresponds to the clearing unit in the control area 230. As shown in Example 200I, the recommendation area 250 may include search results matching the searched term. The search results included in the recommendation area 250 of Example 200I may, for example, be at least a portion of the search results shown in Example 200G. In this way, the left side of the page presents an area for adjusting the search term, and the right side of the page presents the search results.

[0068] In some embodiments, in Example 200G or Example 200H, the search page can also be updated in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the down arrow 204 in the vertical control keys) on the controller 120. The updated search page is shown in Example 200J as shown in Figure 2J, where the target user in the search results is hidden. Example 200J includes areas 270 and 280, where area 280 is used to present user information corresponding to the searched term. The user information can correspond to at least one user. Here, the username of at least one user can include the searched term, the user description information of at least one user can include the searched term, or the user tags of at least one user can include the searched term, etc. In Example 200J, the input focus can be the first content item in area 270. It can be understood that in Example 200J, the search page shown in Example 200G can be presented in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the up arrow 201 in the vertical control keys) on the controller 120.

[0069] In Example 200J, the page can be updated based on the direction of the control key (e.g., the "right" direction) in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the right arrow key 203 in the horizontal control keys) on the controller 120. Referring to Example 200K shown in Figure 2K, the content item to the right of the content item currently corresponding to the input focus (i.e., the first content item in Example 200J) (i.e., the second content item) is determined as the new input focus. In some embodiments, the content item corresponding to the input focus is set to be fixedly displayed at the top (e.g., the leftmost) of region 270. In this case, in response to the input focus switching from the first content item to the second content item, the first content item is hidden, and region 270 can display the second content item and other content items after the second content item. It can be understood that if the input focus is switched to the third content item, region 270 can display the third content item and other content items after the third content item.

[0070] In some embodiments, in Examples 200J or 200K, in response to receiving an interaction with the back key 206 or the left key 202 in the controller 120, Example 200L, as shown in FIG2L, is presented, illustrating an example of a search page. In Example 200L, the input focus corresponds to the clear unit in the control area 230. As shown in Example 200L, the recommendation area 250 may include at least one content item from the search results and user information corresponding to the searched term. The search results included in the recommendation area 250 of Example 200L may, for example, be at least a portion of the search results and user information shown in Example 200J. It is understood that in Example 200L, in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the up key 201 in the vertical control keys) of the controller 120, the search page shown in Example 200I may be presented.

[0071] In some embodiments, in Example 200J or Example 200K, the search page may also be updated in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the down arrow 204 in the vertical control keys) on the controller 120. The updated search page is shown in Example 200M as shown in Figure 2M, where the search results are hidden. Example 200M includes area 280. In Example 200M, the input focus can be the first user information in area 280. It is understood that in Example 200M, the search page shown in Example 200J may be presented in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the up arrow 201 in the vertical control keys) on the controller 120.

[0072] In Example 200M, the page can be updated based on the direction of the control key (e.g., the "right" direction) in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the right arrow key 203 in the horizontal control keys) on the controller 120. Referring to Example 200N shown in Figure 2N, the user information located to the right of the user information currently corresponding to the input focus (i.e., the first user information in Example 200M) (i.e., the second user information) is determined as the new input focus. In some embodiments, the user information corresponding to the input focus is set to be fixedly displayed at the beginning (e.g., the leftmost) of area 280. In this case, in response to the input focus switching from the first user information to the second user information, the first user information is hidden, and area 280 can display the second user information and other user information following the second user information. It can be understood that if the input focus is switched to the third user information, area 280 can display the third user information and other user information following the third user information.

[0073] In some embodiments, in Examples 200M or 200N, in response to receiving an interaction with the back key 206 or the left key 202 in the controller 120, Example 200O, as shown in FIG2O, is presented, illustrating an example of a search page. In Example 200O, the input focus corresponds to the clear unit in the control area 230. As shown in Example 200O, the recommendation area 250 may include user information corresponding to the searched term. The search results included in the recommendation area 250 of Example 200O may, for example, be at least a portion of the search results and user information shown in Example 200M. It is understood that in Example 200O, in response to receiving an interaction with a control key (e.g., the up key 201 in the vertical control keys) of the controller 120, the search page shown in Example 200L may be presented.

[0074] Therefore, in response to the search for a word (characters or suggestion words in the input box), the search results can be displayed by updating the search page without switching pages. This avoids page switching, making content changes smoother and improving the efficiency of user interaction and search result retrieval.

[0075] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, a television device may include, for example, at least one of the following: a smart television, a set-top box, or a projection television. For example, a smart television, set-top box, or projection television may have a computing device on which an application can be installed. This application can be controlled using the controller of the television device to perform the methods described above.

[0076] It should be understood that although the above example uses a landscape TV setup to describe the interaction management process, alternatively and / or additionally, the TV can be positioned in portrait mode. In this case, the two dimensions of the TV will be reversed, and the display positions of various areas on the page can differ. For example, the keyboard area could be located in the upper left corner of the page, the search suggestion area in the upper right corner, and the recommendation area at the bottom. Alternatively and / or additionally, the keyboard area can be arranged vertically, meaning the height of the keyboard area is greater than its width. This ensures less horizontal movement and shorter keystroke paths.

[0077] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the television device can be fixed to a rotatable stand. The orientation of the television device can be detected, and the layout of various areas on the page can be determined based on this orientation. Specifically, if the television device is in landscape orientation, it can be determined that the horizontal dimension of the television device is greater than its vertical dimension. In this case, the keyboard area and search suggestion area can be arranged along the vertical dimension, with the larger dimension of the keyboard area parallel to the larger dimension of the television device. Alternatively and / or additionally, if the television device is in portrait orientation, it can be determined that the horizontal dimension of the television device is less than its vertical dimension. In this case, the keyboard area and search suggestion area can be arranged along the horizontal dimension, with the larger dimension of the keyboard area parallel to the larger dimension of the television device. In this way, the layout of the page can be dynamically adjusted based on the orientation of the television device, thereby reducing the path length of the input focus when moving the page and improving interaction efficiency.
