[0064] In some embodiments, the graphics processor is used to generate various graphic objects, such as at least one of icons, operation menus, and user input command display graphics. The graphics processor includes an operator, which performs operations by receiving various interactive instructions input by the user and displays various objects according to display attributes; and a renderer, which renders various objects obtained based on the operator, and the rendered objects are used to be displayed on the display.

[0065] 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 a standard codec protocol of the input signal, to obtain a signal that can be directly displayed or played on the display device 200.

[0066] 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.

[0068] In some embodiments, the user may input a user command in 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 by inputting a specific sound or gesture, and the user input interface receives the user input command by recognizing the sound or gesture through a sensor.

[0069] In some embodiments, "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. The commonly used form of user interface is the graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operation displayed in a graphical manner. It can be an interface element such as an icon, window, operation area, etc. displayed on the display screen of an electronic device, wherein the operation area may include at least one of the visual interface elements such as icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars, navigation bars, widgets, etc.

[0070] In some embodiments, the user interface 280 is an interface that can be used to receive control input (such as a physical button on the display device body, or other interfaces).

[0071] In some embodiments, the system of the display device may include a kernel, a command parser (shell), a file system, and an application. The kernel, shell, and file system together constitute the basic operating system structure, which allows users to manage files, run programs, and use the system. After power-on, the kernel starts, activates the kernel space, abstracts the hardware, initializes hardware parameters, etc., runs and maintains virtual memory, schedulers, signals, and inter-thread 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 thread.

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the system of the display device may include a kernel, a command parser (shell), a file system, and an application. 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-on, the kernel starts, activates the kernel space, abstracts the hardware, initializes the hardware parameters, and runs and maintains the virtual memory, scheduler, signal, and inter-process communication (IPC). After the kernel starts, the shell and user application are loaded. After startup, the application is compiled into machine code to form a process.

[0073] 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.

[0074] The application layer mainly includes commonly used applications on TV and application frameworks. Common applications are mainly applications developed based on browsers, such as HTML5 APPs and native APPs.

[0075] 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 of these functions (toolbars, status bars, menus, dialog boxes).

[0076] Native apps can support online or offline, message push or local resource access.

[0077] The middleware layer includes various TV protocols, multimedia protocols, system components and other middleware. The middleware can use the basic services (functions) provided by the system software to connect various parts of the application system or different applications on the network, and can achieve the purpose of resource sharing and function sharing.

[0078] The hardware layer mainly includes HAL interface, hardware and driver. Among them, HAL interface is the unified interface for all TV chips to connect, 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, etc.

[0079] Some users hope that the display device has a prompt function. For example, when the focus moves to different display contents, the display device can display different prompt contents. The display contents can be APP icons, function operation areas or playback windows, etc. In order to meet the needs of different users, some display devices are equipped with prompt contents. When the focus moves to the display contents, the display device will display prompt contents related to the display contents. For example, when the focus moves to the APP icon, the prompt content displayed on the display may be "The icon can be moved by dragging". The prior art shows that the prompt content is usually displayed in the form of text, the position of the prompt content is fixed, the display effect is poor, and it is not easy for users to notice.

[0080] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application shows a display device, which includes a display and a controller. The operation process of the display device is explained below with reference to specific drawings.

[0081] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of the interaction between a user and a display device provided in a feasible embodiment. It can be seen that:

[0082] The display executes step S51 to display the display page;

[0083] In the technical solution shown in this embodiment, the display page may include an operation area. In response to a user touching the operation area, the controller controls the display to display content corresponding to the operation area.

[0084] For example, in some feasible embodiments, the operation area may be a video playback control, and in response to a user touching the video playback control, the controller controls the display to display the video corresponding to the playback control. In some feasible embodiments, the operation area may also be an application icon, and in response to a user touching the application icon, the controller controls the display to display the application interface corresponding to the application icon.

[0085] It should be noted that the present embodiment merely introduces several forms of operation areas by way of example. In actual application, the operation areas may be in other forms, and the applicant does not make any excessive limitations here.

[0086] The display page is described below in conjunction with specific drawings. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a display page provided in a feasible embodiment; it can be seen that the display interface includes multiple operation areas, wherein the operation area 61 is a system control, the operation area 62 is a video playback control, and the operation area 63 is an application icon.

[0087] The user executes step S52 to control the focus movement;

[0088] In the technical solution shown in this embodiment, the focus is configured to be controlled to move, wherein there are multiple ways to control the movement of the focus.

[0089] For example, in a feasible embodiment, the user can control the focus movement through the corresponding buttons of the remote control. For another example, in a feasible embodiment, the controller can be installed with a voice assistant APP, and accordingly, the user can control the focus movement through voice.

[0090] It is worth noting that the present embodiment is only an example of several implementation methods of focus-controlled movement. In actual application, the implementation methods of focus-controlled movement may be but are not limited to the above-mentioned methods, and the applicant does not make too many limitations here.

[0091] The following is an explanation of the display page during the focus movement process with reference to specific drawings. Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a display page provided for a feasible embodiment; Figure 7 The center focus moves to the operation area 71 .

[0092] In order to facilitate the user to know the position where the focus moves, the display form of the operation area where the focus is located can be configured to be different from the display forms of other operation areas.

[0093] As a feasible implementation method, please continue to refer to Figure 7 When the focus moves to the operation area 71 , the icon corresponding to the operation area 71 is larger than the icons corresponding to other operation areas.

[0094] As a feasible implementation method, the focus may be displayed on the display in the form of an arrow, and an arrow will appear in the operation area where the focus is located.

[0095] It is worth noting that this embodiment is only an example of introducing several display forms of the operation area where the focus is located that are different from the display forms of other operation areas. In the actual application process, the display form of the operation area where the focus is located that is different from the display form of other operation areas can be but not limited to the above-mentioned several ways, and the applicant does not make too many restrictions here.

[0096] In response to the focus moving to the operation area, the controller executes step S53 to configure a prompt slider, wherein the prompt slider is used to display prompt content related to the operation area;

[0097] In this embodiment, the configuration of the prompt slider can be implemented in a configuration manner commonly used in the art, and the applicant does not make too many limitations here.

[0098] As a feasible real-time method, the prompt content of the prompt slider can be fixed content.

[0099] In order to enhance the user experience, in the technical solution shown in this embodiment, when the focus moves to the operation area, the controller controls the display to display prompt content, wherein the prompt content is related to the operation area.

[0100] As a feasible embodiment, the operation area is a video playback control, and the corresponding prompt content can be a series of content related to the video playback control, such as an introduction to the playback content corresponding to the playback control, actor information, director information, etc.

[0101] As a feasible embodiment, the operation area is an application, and the corresponding prompt content may be a series of application-related content such as an introduction to the application operation and an introduction to the application content.

[0102] It is worth noting that this embodiment is only an example of introducing several prompt contents. In the process of actual application, the prompt content can be configured according to the needs, and all the contents that can serve as prompts can be used as prompt contents, and the applicant does not make too many restrictions here.

[0103] In the technical solution shown in this embodiment, the prompt content is displayed in the form of a prompt slider. When the focus moves to the operation area, the prompt slider can be drawn from the edge of the display. The prompt slider is further described below in conjunction with specific drawings.

[0104] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a display page provided for a feasible embodiment; Figure 8 The focus moves to the operation area 81. The controller controls the display to display a prompt slider. Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, a prompt slider 82 is drawn from the right edge of the display, and the prompt slider 82 displays the content “Edit by Control”.

[0105] Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of a display page provided for a feasible embodiment; Fig. 9 The focus moves to the operation area 91. The controller controls the display to display a prompt slider. Fig. 9In the illustrated embodiment, the prompt slider 91 is drawn from the right edge of the display, and the prompt slider 92 displays the content "Press control to delete".

[0106] It is worth noting that Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The display contents of the two prompt sliders are merely exemplarily shown. In actual application, the prompt contents of the prompt sliders may be but are not limited to the above two modes, and the applicant does not make too many limitations here.

[0107] S54 controls the display to display the prompt slider, and the prompt slider extends from the edge of the display to the center of the display.

[0108] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In the illustrated embodiment, during the display of the prompt slider, the prompt slider slides from the right edge of the display to the center of the display.

[0109] It is worth noting that Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The two methods of sliding out the prompt slider are merely exemplarily shown. In actual application, the methods of sliding out the prompt slider are not limited to the above two methods, and the applicant does not make too many limitations here.

[0110] As a feasible embodiment, the prompt slider may include a fixed end and a movable end; during the display of the prompt slider, the fixed end is fixed to the edge of the display, and the movable end is moved toward the center of the display.

[0111] In the technical solution shown in this embodiment, the length of the prompt slider is related to the prompt content, and the width of the prompt slider can be a fixed value or can be adapted to the width of the prompt content.

[0112] In the application scenario where the width of the prompt slider is a fixed value, if the prompt content requires a larger space to display, the corresponding prompt slider is drawn longer; if the prompt content requires a smaller space to display, the corresponding prompt slider is drawn shorter. In the technology shown in this embodiment, during the display of the prompt slider, the fixed end is fixed to the edge of the display, and the sliding end is drawn toward the center of the display. The drawn length of the prompt slider is adapted to the prompt content, that is, the prompt slider can just accommodate the prompt content.

[0113] As a feasible embodiment, the fixed end is in a right angle shape. In the technical solution shown in this embodiment, the fixed end of the prompt slider is in a right angle shape, so that the prompt slider can better fit the edge of the display, without light leakage and other problems, and the user experience is better.

[0114] As a feasible embodiment, the mobile terminal is in an arc shape. In the technical solution shown in this embodiment, the mobile terminal is in an arc shape. The arc design is more likely to attract the user's attention, and at the same time, it makes it easier for our eyes to adapt to the changes in lines and information, and there is a good smooth transition in the visual experience.

[0115] In order to further attract the user's attention to the prompt slider, the background of the prompt slider can be different from the background of the operation area. As a feasible embodiment, the background of the prompt slider can be displayed in a gradient manner, for example, a gradient gray can be used. The background of the prompt slider is displayed in a gradient manner so that the entire prompt slider can better attract the user's attention.

[0116] In some feasible embodiments, in order to further enhance the user experience, this embodiment also shows a display method of the prompt slider. For details, please refer to Fig.10 . Fig.10 This is a flow chart showing a display method of a prompt slider according to a feasible embodiment. It can be seen that in response to the focus moving to the operation area, the controller is further configured to execute steps S101 to S103.

[0117] S101 reads the display content of the operation area;

[0118] There are many ways to implement reading display content.

[0119] As an implementable manner, the controller may store the display content of the operation area in advance, and when the focus moves to the operation area, the controller may directly retrieve the display content corresponding to the operation area.

[0120] As an implementable manner, the controller may directly identify the display content of the operation area.

[0121] This embodiment is only an exemplary introduction to two implementation methods of reading display content. In actual application, the implementation method of reading display content may be but is not limited to the above two methods. The applicant does not make too many restrictions here.

[0122] S102 retrieves prompt content corresponding to the displayed content;

[0123] The technical solution shown in this embodiment stores the correspondence between the display content and the prompt content in advance. In response to completing the reading of the display content, the controller retrieves the corresponding prompt content according to the pre-stored correspondence between the display content and the prompt content.

[0124] S103: configuring the prompt slider according to the prompt content, wherein the stroke length of the prompt slider is related to the prompt content.
