[0067] In some embodiments, the tuner-demodulator 210 receives broadcast television signals via wired or wireless reception, and demodulates audio and video signals, such as EPG data signals, from a plurality of wireless or wired broadcast television signals.

[0068] In some embodiments, the communicator 220 is a component used to communicate with external devices or servers using various communication protocols. For example, the communicator may include at least one of a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, a wired Ethernet module, or other network communication protocol chip or a near-field communication protocol chip, as well as an infrared receiver. The display device 200 can use the communicator 220 to send and receive control signals and data signals with the control device 100 or the server 400.

[0069] In some embodiments, detector 230 is used to collect signals from the external environment or external interactions. For example, detector 230 may include a light receiver, such as a sensor for collecting ambient light intensity; or an image collector, such as a camera, for collecting external environmental scenes, user attributes, or user interaction gestures; or a sound collector, such as a microphone, for receiving external sounds.

[0070] In some embodiments, the external device interface 240 may include, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following: a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI), an analog or digital high-definition component input interface (component), a composite video input interface (CVBS), a USB input interface (USB), an RGB port, etc. It may also be a composite input / output interface formed by multiple of the above interfaces.

[0071] In some embodiments, the controller 250 and the tuner 210 may be located in different separate devices, that is, the tuner 210 may also be located in an external device of the main device where the controller 250 is located, such as an external set-top box.

[0072] In some embodiments, controller 250 controls the operation of the display device and responds to user operations via various software control programs stored in memory. Controller 250 controls the overall operation of display device 200. For example, in response to receiving a user command to select a UI object for display on display 260, controller 250 may perform operations related to the object selected by the user command.

[0073] In some embodiments, the object may be any selectable object, such as a hyperlink, an icon, or other operable control. Operations associated with the selected object include: displaying a page, document, or image connected to the hyperlink, or executing a program corresponding to the icon.

[0074] In some embodiments, the controller includes at least one of a central processing unit (CPU), a video processor, an audio processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), RAM Random Access Memory (RAM), ROM (Read-Only Memory, ROM), a first interface to an nth interface for input / output, a communication bus (Bus), etc.

[0075] The CPU is used to execute operating system and application instructions stored in memory, as well as various interactive instructions received from external input, to execute various applications, data, and content, ultimately displaying and playing various audio and video content. The CPU can include multiple processors, such as a main processor and one or more sub-processors.

[0076] In some embodiments, a graphics processor is configured to generate various graphical objects, such as at least one of icons, operation menus, and graphics displayed in response to user input commands. The graphics processor includes an arithmetic unit that performs operations based on various user input interactive commands and displays various objects according to display attributes; and a renderer that renders the various objects generated by the arithmetic unit. The rendered objects are then displayed on a display.

[0077] In some embodiments, the video processor is used to receive an external video signal and perform at least one of the following video processing operations, such as decompression, decoding, scaling, noise reduction, frame rate conversion, resolution conversion, and image synthesis, according to the standard codec protocol of the input signal, to obtain a signal that can be directly displayed or played on the display device 200.

[0078] In some embodiments, the video processor includes at least one of a demultiplexing module, a video decoding module, an image synthesis module, a frame rate conversion module, and a display formatting module. The demultiplexing module is used to demultiplex the input audio and video data stream. The video decoding module is used to process the demultiplexed video signal, including decoding and scaling. The image synthesis module, such as an image synthesizer, is used to superimpose and mix the GUI signal generated by the graphics generator according to user input or itself with the scaled video image to generate an image signal for display. The frame rate conversion module is used to convert the input video frame rate. The display formatting module is used to receive the frame rate converted video output signal and change the signal to conform to the display format signal, such as outputting an RGB data signal.

[0079] In some embodiments, the audio processor is used to receive an external audio signal, perform decompression and decoding according to the standard codec protocol of the input signal, and perform at least one of noise reduction, digital-to-analog conversion, and amplification processing to obtain a sound signal that can be played in a speaker.

[0080] In some embodiments, the user may input a user command through a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on the display 260, and the user input interface receives the user input command through the graphical user interface (GUI). Alternatively, the user may input a user command through a specific sound or gesture, and the user input interface may recognize the sound or gesture through a sensor to receive the user input command.

[0081] In some embodiments, a "user interface" is a medium interface for interaction and information exchange between an application or operating system and a user, which realizes the conversion between the internal form of information and the form acceptable to the user. A common form of user interface is a graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations that is displayed in a graphical manner. It can be an interface element such as an icon, window, or control displayed on the display screen of an electronic device, where a control can include at least one of a visual interface element such as an icon, button, menu, tab, text box, dialog box, status bar, navigation bar, or widget.

[0082] In some embodiments, the user interface 280 is an interface for receiving control input (eg, a physical button on the display device body, or other interfaces).

[0083] In some embodiments, the system of the display device may include a kernel, a command parser (shell), a file system, and applications. The kernel, shell, and file system together form the basic operating system structure, which allows users to manage files, run programs, and use the system. After power is turned on, the kernel starts, activates kernel space, abstracts hardware, initializes hardware parameters, runs and maintains virtual memory, schedulers, signals, and inter-process communication (IPC). After the kernel starts, the shell and user applications are loaded. After startup, the application is compiled into machine code to form a process.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the display device system can include a kernel, a command parser (shell), a file system, and application programs. The kernel, shell, and file system together form the basic operating system structure, allowing users to manage files, run programs, and use the system. After power is applied, the kernel boots up, activates kernel space, abstracts hardware, initializes hardware parameters, and runs and maintains virtual memory, a scheduler, signals, and inter-process communication (IPC). After the kernel boots up, the shell and user applications are loaded. After booting up, the application is compiled into machine code, forming a process.

[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, the system of the display device is divided into three layers, namely the application layer, the middleware layer and the hardware layer from top to bottom.

[0086] The application layer mainly includes commonly used applications on the TV and the application framework. Common applications are mainly browser-based applications, such as HTML5 apps, and native apps.

[0087] The Application Framework is a complete program model that has all the basic functions required by standard application software, such as file access, data exchange, etc., as well as the user interfaces for these functions (toolbars, status bars, menus, dialog boxes).

[0088] Native apps can support online or offline, message push or local resource access.

[0089] The middleware layer includes various TV protocols, multimedia protocols, and system components. Middleware uses the basic services (functions) provided by system software to connect various parts of the application system or different applications on the network, enabling resource and function sharing.

[0090] The hardware layer mainly includes the HAL interface, hardware, and drivers. The HAL interface is a unified interface for all TV chips, and the specific logic is implemented by each chip. Drivers mainly include: audio driver, display driver, Bluetooth driver, camera driver, WiFi driver, USB driver, HDMI driver, sensor driver (such as fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), and power driver.

[0091] Display devices 200 are becoming increasingly versatile and support more and more functions. To help users better understand the functions of display devices 200, manuals have become an essential part of display devices 200. Traditional manuals are paper manuals that come with the device. However, due to the cost, environmental concerns, and storage limitations of paper manuals, electronic manuals are increasingly being used to replace paper manuals. Electronic manuals are built into the display device, making them easy to store and reducing maintenance costs after development.

[0092] However, the electronic manual needs to be displayed on the display device 200. After reading the introduction to a certain function in the electronic manual, if the user wants to set up or use it immediately, they need to completely close the manual page first and then find the corresponding function page on the display device 200. Then, if the user wants to read the electronic manual again to learn about the next function, they need to reopen the manual page and find the location they last browsed. It can be seen that when reading the electronic manual, the user cannot experience a specific function in real time and needs to constantly open and close the manual page. In addition, the user needs to remember the operating steps of the manual page in order to successfully experience a certain function after closing the manual page. It can be seen that the current display method of this electronic manual is relatively complicated and affects the user experience.

[0093] Based on the above, the present invention provides a method for displaying an electronic manual on a display device and a display device 200. This method can directly control the display device 200 to display the corresponding function settings page based on the current function introduction page, eliminating the need for the user to exit the entire electronic manual and then navigate to the corresponding function settings page to perform operations. This method can make the electronic manual display more comprehensive, avoid excessive user operations, and ensure a good user experience.

[0094] As described in the above embodiment, the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application has a controller 250. The controller 250 can receive control instructions input by the user to the display device 200, and control the display 260 to display the corresponding page according to the control instructions.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, the user may input control instructions to the display device 200 by pressing a button on a remote control, inputting voice control instructions through the remote control, or directly inputting voice control instructions to a display device equipped with a voice receiving module.

[0096] Figure 5 A schematic diagram illustrating a content page of an electronic instruction manual according to some embodiments is shown.

[0097] The display device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with an electronic manual. There are also several function options on the page of the electronic manual. Figure 5For example, a page in the electronic manual displays "Connection," "Establishing a Wired In...", "Establishing a Wireless...", "Connecting Bluetooth...", "Using HDMI & CEC," "Connecting a Digital Audio...", "Connecting an AV device...", and "Connecting USB Devices." Users can select a desired option to read its description.

[0098] Figure 6 A control flow diagram of the controller 250 according to some embodiments is shown.

[0099] like Figure 6 As shown, the user can input a function selection instruction for selecting a target function option to the controller 250 of the display device 200, and then the controller 250 controls the display 260 to display the target function introduction page corresponding to the target function option in the electronic manual in response to the function selection instruction.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, each function option in the electronic manual will correspond to a function introduction page, which is used to show the user the setting path of the function, how to use the function, how to set it up, or what specific functions can be achieved. Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a function introduction page according to some embodiments is shown. Figure 5 If the target function option "Establishing a Wireless..." is selected on the content page shown, the controller 250 will control the display 260 to display the following Figure 7 The target function introduction page of "Establishing a Wireless Internet Connection" is shown in FIG. In addition, the target function page also has a jump option for jumping to the corresponding function setting page, such as Figure 7 The option button shown as a finger icon is usually set in the path information position on the function introduction page, such as Figure 7 The "Network->Network Configuration" path shown in the figure is the path to find the wireless network configuration page, and there is a finger icon on the path.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, for the function options that can be set, the following information will be displayed on the corresponding function introduction page: Figure 7 The jump option shown is associated with the function setting page corresponding to the function option to which this page belongs. For example, Figure 7 The jump option shown in the figure is associated with the "Network Configuration" function setting page, that is, the wireless network settings can be achieved on the "Network Configuration" function setting page.

[0102] like Figure 6 As shown, after the user inputs a page jump instruction for selecting a jump option to the controller 260, the controller 250 will continue to respond to the page jump instruction and control the display 260 to superimpose the target function setting page corresponding to the jump option on the current target function introduction page.

[0103] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the function setting page according to some embodiments is shown. As described in the above embodiment, for example, the user Figure 7 If the jump option is selected on the function introduction page shown, the controller 250 will control the display 260 to display the following Figure 8 The function setting page of "Network Configuration" shown in the figure is:

[0104] As can be seen, in the display device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, each specific function introduction page in the electronic manual is associated with a corresponding function setting page. When the user is viewing a function introduction in the electronic manual, the display device 200 can be directly controlled to display the corresponding function setting page based on the current function introduction page, avoiding the user having to exit the entire electronic manual and then find the corresponding function setting page step by step to operate. This approach can make the display content of the electronic manual more comprehensive, avoid the user from having to perform excessive operations, and ensure a good user experience.

[0105] Figure 9 A second control flow diagram of the controller 250 is shown according to some embodiments.

[0106] Typically, before selecting a function option, the user needs to control the display device 200 to display the content page of the electronic manual. Figure 9As shown, the user first inputs a page display instruction to display device 200 to open the electronic manual. In response to the page display instruction, controller 250 controls display 260 to display the contents page of the electronic manual. The user then selects a target function option on the contents page and inputs a function selection instruction to display device 200. In response to the function selection instruction, controller 250 controls display 260 to display the target function introduction page. Finally, the user selects a jump option on the function introduction page and inputs a page jump instruction to display device 200. In response to the page jump instruction, controller 250 controls display 260 to display the corresponding target function settings page.

[0107] Figure 10 A third control flow diagram of the controller 250 is shown according to some embodiments.

[0108] As described in the above embodiment, the jump options on the function introduction page are associated with the corresponding function setting page. In some embodiments, the path information of each function setting item page can be pre-established in the display device 200. For example, for the function setting item "Network Configuration" described in the above embodiment, the corresponding path information "Network->Network Configuration" is established. Then, the identification number is used to Figure 7 The jump options shown in are associated with the path information, and each jump option corresponds to a unique identification number.

[0109] like Figure 10 As shown, the controller 250 obtains the identification number corresponding to the jump option on the target function introduction page in response to the page jump instruction input by the user; then, the controller 250 obtains the path information corresponding to the identification number for opening the target function setting page; finally, the controller 250 controls the display 260 to display the corresponding target function setting page according to the path information.

[0110] To facilitate the display of the target function settings page, it is typically superimposed on the target function introduction page of the electronic manual. The transparency of the target function settings page can be set according to actual circumstances. Furthermore, to facilitate the user's viewing of the electronic manual again, the controller 250 can control the display 260 to exit the current settings page at any time and continue displaying the contents of the electronic manual.

[0111] Furthermore, in some embodiments, when the user no longer needs to view the current target function setting page, a return instruction for exiting the current target function setting page can be input to the display device 200, and the controller 250 controls the display 260 to continue displaying the target function introduction page in response to the return instruction.

[0112] In the above embodiment, the controller 250 can associate the function options described in the electronic manual with the function setting page, so that the user can easily call up the function setting page to set the function when viewing the function introduction of the electronic manual. However, the setting items other than the target function setting items on the target function setting page displayed by the display 260 can also be freely viewed by the user. For example, Figure 8 In addition to the target function setting item "Network Configuration", it also includes setting items such as "Internet Connection (Network Connection)", "Wake on Wireless Network (Wireless Network Wake-up)", and "Wake on LAN (Local Area Network Wake-up)".

[0113] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the user can also select other setting items on the current setting page, and then input a setting item selection instruction to the display device 200. In response to the setting item selection instruction, the controller 250 controls the display 250 to display the setting pages corresponding to other function setting items other than the target function setting item on the target function setting page.

[0114] As can be seen from the above, the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application can associate a specific function introduction page in the electronic manual with a function setting page corresponding to the function, and in response to each control instruction input by the user, display the corresponding function introduction page in the electronic manual and the function setting page in the display device 200. When the user is viewing a function introduction in the electronic manual, the display device 200 can be directly controlled to display the corresponding function setting page based on the current function introduction page, avoiding the user from exiting the entire electronic manual and then stepping through the corresponding function setting page to operate. This approach can make the display content of the electronic manual more comprehensive, avoid the user from having to perform too many operations, and ensure the user experience.
