[0083] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0084] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0085] The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances. Additionally, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist; for example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0086] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure or the prior art, the technical terms used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below:

[0087] High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a fully digital video and audio transmission interface that can send uncompressed audio and video signals. HDMI can be used in devices such as televisions, set-top boxes, DVD players, personal computers, game consoles, integrated amplifiers, digital audio systems, and Chromecast sticks. HDMI can transmit audio and video signals simultaneously, and both audio and video signals can use the same cable, greatly simplifying system wiring installation.

[0088] With the continuous development of display technology, HDMI has become an increasingly important display port. As the most important video display terminal for home users, televisions currently manufactured all have HDMI input ports to enable the display and playback of HDMI digital signals. For example... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This diagram illustrates an application scenario where a television connects to multiple devices via HDMI in the prior art. The diagram includes a display device 200, a high-density digital video disc (DVD) player 501, a set-top box 502, and speakers 503. (See also...) Figure 2The display device shown has at least one HDMI interface. Specifically, DVD player 501 is connected to display device 200 via HDMI1 interface, set-top box 502 is connected to display device 200 via HDMI2 interface, and audio equipment 503 is connected to display device 200 via HDMI3 interface.

[0089] After the aforementioned devices are connected to the display device 200 as signal source devices via the HDMI interface, in the prior art, the display device 200 will display the channel names of the HDMI input ports in the order of connection time according to factory settings, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an interface for displaying the name of the accessed device in existing technology. Figure 3 The user interface of display device 200 displays the names of the connected devices. Assuming the HDMI2 interface of display device 200 is connected to the signal source device first, followed by the HDMI1 interface, and finally the HDMI3 interface, the user interface displays the channel names of these three HDMI interfaces in the order of connection: HDMI2, HDMI1, HDMI3. However, simply displaying the HDMI interface channel names in the order of connection makes it difficult for users to immediately match each channel name with the corresponding signal source device when repairing or unplugging cables, causing inconvenience for repairs or replacements.

[0090] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a display device and a method for displaying an HDMI channel page. The display device includes at least one HDMI interface and a controller. The controller determines the indicator of the at least one access device based on device information obtained from the at least one HDMI interface, then obtains the configuration order of the at least one HDMI interface, and further controls the display to show the indicator of the at least one access device according to the configuration order, thereby displaying an HDMI channel page. The HDMI channel page includes the indicator of the at least one access device. This method enables the display of the indicator of at least one access device according to the configuration order of the at least one HDMI interface on the hardware, thus facilitating user identification and differentiation of devices connected to the display device via the HDMI interface.

[0091] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the operation scenario of the display device in the embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 4 It includes a control device 100, a display device 200, a smart device 300, a server 400, and at least one access device of the display device 200: a DVD player 501, a set-top box 502, and a speaker 503.

[0092] In some embodiments, a user can operate the display device 200 via a smart device 300 or a control device 100, and the display device 200 can communicate with the server 400. The smart device 300 (such as a mobile terminal, tablet computer, computer, laptop computer, etc.) can also be used to control the display device 200. For example, an application running on the smart device can be used to control the display device 200.

[0093] like Figure 4 As shown, taking the operation of display device 200 via smart device 300 as an example, the application scenarios of the display device provided in this disclosure are explained. The display device 200 is controlled using an application running on smart device 300, for example, using a smart home platform (HomeKit). HomeKit enables the display device 200 to be linked with other smart hardware, thereby enabling manual or voice control of the display device 200, or more complex scene automation and shortcut command control.

[0094] As mentioned earlier, in a smart home application scenario, DVD player 501 is connected to display device 200 via HDMI1, set-top box 502 is connected to display device 200 via HDMI2, and speaker 503 is connected to display device 200 via HDMI3. HDMI1, HDMI2, and HDMI3 interfaces respectively acquire device information from DVD player 501, set-top box 502, and speaker 503, and then determine the indicator for each connected device based on this device information, such as... Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the HDMI channel page in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 Based on the device information of DVD player 501, the indicator for DVD player 501 is determined to be "DVD". Based on the device information of set-top box 502, the indicator for set-top box 502 is determined to be "Set-top box". Based on the device information of speaker 503, the indicator for speaker 503 is determined to be "Speaker". Further, the configuration order of the HDMI interfaces is obtained: HDMI1 interface configuration order is 1, HDMI2 interface configuration order is 2, and HDMI3 interface configuration order is 3. Then, based on the above configuration order, the indicator for at least one connected device is displayed. (Refer to...) Figure 5 As shown, the list of connected devices is as follows: DVD, set-top box, and speakers. This implements the feature of displaying indicators for at least one connected device according to the configuration order of at least one HDMI port on the hardware, thus facilitating user identification and differentiation of devices connected to the display device via the HDMI port.

[0095] In some embodiments, the control device 100 may be a remote control. Communication between the remote control and the terminal device includes infrared protocol communication, Bluetooth protocol communication, and other short-range communication methods, controlling the display device 200 wirelessly or via wired means. Users can control the display device 200 by inputting user commands through buttons on the remote control, voice input, control panel input, etc.

[0096] In some embodiments, the display device 200 may receive instructions not through the aforementioned smart device or control device, but through touch or gestures.

[0097] In some embodiments, the display device 200 can also be controlled in ways other than the control device 100 and the smart device 300. For example, it can be controlled by directly receiving the user's voice commands through a module configured inside the display device 200 for acquiring voice commands, or it can be controlled by receiving the user's voice commands through a voice control device set outside the display device 200.

[0098] In some embodiments, the display device 200 may be allowed to communicate via a local area network (LAN), a wireless local area network (WLAN), and other networks. The server 400 may provide various content and interactive features to the display device 200. The server 400 may be a cluster or multiple clusters, and may include one or more types of servers. Alternatively, it may be a cloud server. The above is merely an example, and no limitation is made in this embodiment.

[0099] Figure 6 This is a hardware configuration block diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 6As shown, the display device includes at least one of a tuner / demodulator 210, a communicator 220, a detector 230, an external device interface 240, a controller 250, a display 260, an audio output interface 270, a memory, a power supply, and a user interface 280. The controller 250 includes a central processing unit, a video processor, an audio processor, a graphics processor, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), and a first to nth interface for input / output. The display 260 can be at least one of a liquid crystal display, an OLED display, a touch display, and a projection display, and can also be a projection device and a projection screen. The tuner / demodulator 210 receives broadcast television signals via wired or wireless reception and demodulates audio and video signals, such as Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data signals, from multiple wireless or wired broadcast television signals. The detector 230 is used to collect signals from the external environment or signals interacting with the external environment. The controller 250 and the tuner / demodulator 210 can be located in different separate devices; that is, the tuner / demodulator 210 can also be located in an external device of the main device containing the controller 250, such as an external set-top box. The external device interface 240 can include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), analog or data high-definition component input interface (component), composite video input interface (CVBS), USB input interface (USB), RGB port, etc. It can also be a composite input / output interface formed by multiple of the above interfaces.

[0100] In some embodiments, the controller 250 controls the operation of the display device and responds to user operations through various software control programs stored in memory. The controller 250 controls the overall operation of the display device 200. The user can input commands through a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on the monitor 260, and the user input interface receives the user input commands through the GUI. Alternatively, the user can input user commands by inputting specific sounds or gestures, and the user input interface receives the user input commands by recognizing the sounds or gestures through sensors.

[0101] In some embodiments, a "user interface" is the medium through which an application or operating system interacts and exchanges information with a user, realizing the conversion between the internal form of information and a form acceptable to the user. A common form of user interface is the graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operation displayed graphically. It can be an icon, window, control, or other interface element displayed on the screen of an electronic device. Controls can include at least one of the following visual interface elements: icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars, navigation bars, and web widgets (widgets).

[0102] 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), a RAM (random access memory), a ROM (read-only memory), a digital signal processor (DSP) for input / output, a first to an nth interface, a communication bus, etc.

[0103] A CPU (CPU) processor 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 for the display and playback of various audio and video content. A CPU processor can include multiple processors, such as a main processor and one or more sub-processors.

[0104] This disclosure provides a display device, which includes:

[0105] At least one high-definition multimedia HDMI interface is configured to: acquire device information of at least one access device;

[0106] The controller 250 is configured to: determine an indicator of at least one access device based on device information of at least one access device; obtain the configuration order of at least one HDMI interface; and control the display to display the indicator of at least one access device in the configuration order to display an HDMI channel page, the HDMI channel page including the indicator of at least one access device.

[0107] It should be noted that the above-mentioned device includes at least one HDMI interface, as shown in the reference. Figure 6 The HDMI interface in the external device interface 240 of the display device 200 shown has the same or similar function, and will not be described in detail here.

[0108] The aforementioned display device, through a controller, determines the indicator of at least one access device based on device information obtained from at least one HDMI interface. Compared to existing technologies that only display the channel name corresponding to the HDMI interface, this disclosure obtains an indicator that is easier for users to identify and distinguish by processing the device information of the access devices. Then, the configuration order of at least one HDMI interface is obtained, and the indicator of the at least one access device is displayed according to this configuration order. This achieves the display of the indicator of at least one access device according to the configuration order of at least one HDMI interface in hardware, thereby facilitating user identification and differentiation of devices connected to the display device via HDMI interfaces.

[0109] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the software configuration in the display device provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom: the Applications layer (referred to as the "Application Layer"), the Application Framework layer (referred to as the "Framework Layer"), the Android runtime and system library layer (referred to as the "System Runtime Library Layer"), and the kernel layer. The kernel layer contains at least one of the following drivers: audio driver, display driver, Bluetooth driver, camera driver, Wi-Fi driver, Universal Serial Bus (USB) driver, High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) driver, sensor driver (such as fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), and power driver.

[0110] It should be noted that the protection scope of the HDMI channel page display method described in this disclosure is not limited to the execution order of the steps listed in this embodiment. Any solution implemented by adding, subtracting, or replacing steps in the prior art based on the principles of this disclosure is included within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0111] like Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying an HDMI channel page according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes:

[0112] S801. Obtain device information for at least one access device.

[0113] The device information includes at least one of the following: device name, device type identifier, priority, and username.

[0114] In some embodiments, at least one HDMI port in the display device acquires device information from at least one access device. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the display device 200 obtains device information of the DVD player 501 through the HDMI1 interface, obtains device information of the set-top box 502 through the HDMI2 interface, and also obtains device information of the speaker 503 through the HDMI3 interface.

[0115] For example, the display device receives device information from at least one access device as shown in Table 1.

[0116] Table 1

[0117]

[0118] As shown in Table 1 above and Figure 4 As shown, display device 200 obtains device information from connected device DVD player 501 via HDMI1 interface. The device information of DVD player 501 includes device name DVD player, device type identifier CEC, and priority 1. Display device 200 obtains device information from set-top box 502 via HDMI2 interface. The device information of set-top box 502 includes username "Xiao A Set-Top Box". Display device 200 obtains device information from speaker 503 via HDMI3 interface. The device information of speaker 503 includes device name 5282871055 and username "Speaker". The device name 5282871055 can be understood as speaker 503 sending its identity document (ID) as the device name to display device 200.

[0119] It should be noted that CEC refers to Consumer Electronics Control, which means a device that supports Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) functionality. CEC allows a display device to control multiple CEC-enabled devices using a single control device (e.g., a remote control). Examples of CEC devices include DVDs and Chromecast sticks.

[0120] S802. Determine the indication identifier of at least one access device based on the device information of at least one access device.

[0121] The indicator is the identifier of at least one access device that is ultimately displayed in the user interface of the display device. It is used to distinguish each access device, and the user can accurately distinguish different access devices based on the indicator.

[0122] In some embodiments, the device information of at least one access device includes the device name, and the indicator of at least one access device is determined based on the device name. For example, referring to the device information of at least one access device shown in Table 1, the indicator of the device connected through the HDMI1 interface is determined to be a DVD player based on the device name DVD player.

[0123] It should be noted that, due to the special nature of their functions, CEC devices have their names pre-set at the factory for simplicity and ease of user understanding. Therefore, this disclosure provides an implementation method that identifies a CEC device among at least one access device and uses the CEC device's name as an indicator. Specifically, firstly, based on the obtained device information of at least one access device, the device information of each access device is traversed, and a target device type identifier is determined based on the device type identifier of each access device. The target device type identifier indicates that the access device corresponding to the target device type identifier is a CEC device, i.e., the target device type identifier is CEC. If a target device type identifier is determined, the access device corresponding to the target device type identifier CEC is identified, and the device name included in the device information of that access device is used as an indicator for display.

[0124] For example, the device information of at least one access device obtained by the display device is shown in Table 1. After traversing each access device, the CEC device is determined from at least one access device according to the device type identifier CEC - DVD player. Then, the device name of the CEC device DVD player: DVD player is used as the indicator of the access device DVD player.

[0125] In the above embodiments, the target device type identifier (CEC) is determined from at least one access device by using the device type identifier included in the device information sent by the access device. The simple and concise device name of the CEC device is then used as the corresponding indicator for the CEC device, so that the user can understand and identify it.

[0126] In some embodiments, the device information of at least one access device includes a username. First, it is determined whether the access device is a CEC device. If the access device is not a CEC device, but the device information includes a username, the username of the access device is used as the indicator of the access device. For example, referring to Table 1, the access device corresponding to the HDMI3 interface is not a CEC device, but the device information of the access device includes the username "audio". In this case, the username "audio" is used as the indicator of the access device corresponding to the HDMI3 interface.

[0127] In some embodiments, when the device information does not include the device name and username, the channel name of the HDMI interface is used as an indicator of the connected device to avoid situations where a device is connected to the HDMI interface but no display is performed. For example, if a display device is connected to device S via an HDMI4 interface, and the device information sent by device S to the display device via the HDMI4 interface does not include the device name and username, then "HDMI4" is used as the indicator of device S.

[0128] In some embodiments, after obtaining device information for at least one access device, a target HDMI interface is determined from at least one HDMI interface. This target HDMI interface has a corresponding target name to distinguish it from other HDMI interfaces. For example, if the target HDMI interface supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), its target name is ARC. The primary function of Audio Return Channel is to transmit audio signals. On HDMI interfaces supporting ARC, the display device can use ARC to return audio signals to an amplifier or other audio devices supporting ARC via an HDMI cable, thus eliminating the need for additional digital output cables.

[0129] Furthermore, at least one indicator for the access device is determined based on the device information of the access device and the target name. For ease of understanding, the indicator determined based on the access device information is initially referred to as the display identifier. After determining the display identifier based on the access device information, the target name is added to the display identifier as an indicator to indicate that the access device is connected to the display device via an HDMI interface that supports ARC.

[0130] For example, the HDMI3 interface supports the ARC function. Continuing with the previous example, if the indicator of the access device corresponding to HDMI3 is determined to be "Audio", the name "ARC" is added, so the final indicator of the access device corresponding to HDMI3 is "Audio (ARC)". It should be noted that the way to add the ARC identifier is only shown as an example. For example, the way to add the name "ARC" can also be "-ARC", and the position of the "ARC" name can also be after the parent name. There are no specific restrictions on the position and method of adding the "ARC" name, and this disclosure will not elaborate on them here.

[0131] In some embodiments, to better correspond the HDMI interface with the access device, this disclosure provides an implementation method in which the HDMI channel name is used as the parent name and the indicator is used as the child name, and the parent name and child name of the access device will be displayed simultaneously thereafter.

[0132] For example, if the device connected via the HDMI3 interface is identified as "Audio (ARC)" and designated as a sub-name, with "HDMI3" as the parent name, the final display will be: "HDMI3; Audio".

[0133] S803, Obtain the configuration order of at least one HDMI interface.

[0134] Among them, the configuration order of at least one HDMI interface is the same as the order of the HDMI interfaces on the display device hardware, such as... Figure 2 As shown, at least one HDMI interface is: HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3. The order of the HDMI interfaces on the display device hardware is: HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3. Therefore, the configuration order of at least one HDMI interface is "HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3".

[0135] S804. Control the display to display the indication identifier of the at least one access device in the configured order to display the HDMI channel page.

[0136] The HDMI channel page includes an indicator for at least one connected device, which can be displayed in a list format.

[0137] In some embodiments, after determining the indicator identifiers of at least one access device, these indicator identifiers are sorted according to a configuration order, thereby enabling the display of the indicator identifiers of at least one access device to maintain consistency with the HDMI interface on the display device hardware.

[0138] Following the previous example, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the HDMI channel page in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 ,like Figure 9 As shown, after determining that the indicator of at least one access device is "HDMI1; DVD player", "HDMI2; Mini A set-top box", "HDMI3 (ARC); audio", the indicator of the above-mentioned at least one access device is displayed in the configuration order "HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3", so as to clearly show that each access device is connected to the display device through the corresponding HDMI interface.

[0139] In some embodiments, after determining the indicator identifier of at least one access device, based on the acquired device information of at least one access device, wherein the device information of the third access device includes a specified order position, firstly, a first order of the indicator identifiers of other access devices excluding the third access device is determined according to the configuration order of at least one HDMI interface; then, based on the specified order position of the third access device, the first order is adjusted to obtain a second order, and further, the display is controlled to display the indicator identifiers of at least one access device according to the second order.

[0140] For example, as shown in Table 1 above, the device information of the DVD player includes a specified sequence position "1", indicating that the indicator for setting up the DVD player is placed at the top of all the indicator indicators of the connected devices. After determining the indicator of at least one connected device, firstly, according to the configuration order of the HDMI interfaces, the indicator of the connected device corresponding to HDMI2, "Set-top Box A", and the indicator of the connected device corresponding to HDMI3, "Audio", are determined, resulting in a first order: Set-top Box A, Audio; furthermore, according to the specified sequence position "1" for "DVD player", a second order is obtained: DVD player, Set-top Box A, Audio.

[0141] In some embodiments, after the display device displays the indicator identifiers of at least one access device according to the configuration order of at least one HDMI interface, it can receive a renaming operation from the user for the indicator identifier of the second access device through a user input interface. The controller of the display device, in response to the renaming operation, determines to rename the indicator identifier of the second access device, wherein the renaming operation instructs the indicator identifier of the second access device to be modified to the target identifier. In response to the renaming operation, the display device updates the indicator identifier of the second access device displayed on the HDMI channel page to the target identifier; that is, it still displays the target identifier of the second access device according to the configuration order of the HDMI interfaces corresponding to the second access device.

[0142] For example, Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the HDMI channel page in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 ,like Figure 10As shown, after displaying the indicator of at least one access device on the HDMI channel page, the display device first receives a selection operation from the user on the current HDMI channel page indicator "Set-top Box" via the user input interface, indicating that the user needs to perform a corresponding operation on the second access device corresponding to that indicator. Then, it receives a rename operation from the user for the second access device, instructing the rename operation to change the current indicator of the second access device to "Small B Set-top Box". The display device's controller responds to the rename operation by changing the current indicator of the second access device from "Set-top Box" to "Small B Set-top Box". Following the second position in the configuration order of the HDMI interface corresponding to the second access device, "Small B Set-top Box" is displayed in the second row of the access list.

[0143] In some embodiments, when at least one access device is connected to the display device via at least one HDMI interface, the display device displays an indicator of the at least one access device through steps S801 to S804 described above. The at least one HDMI interface of the display device receives video data and corresponding audio data sent by the at least one access device. First, the controller of the display device controls the display screen to display the video data sent by the at least one access device in a split-screen manner. Specifically, the video data sent by the at least one access device is displayed in a split-screen manner according to the configuration order of the at least one HDMI interface.

[0144] For example, such as Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the split-screen display interface of the display device in this embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 The display device 200 receives video data 1 sent by the access device 501 corresponding to the HDMI1 interface and video data 2 sent by the access device 502 corresponding to the HDMI2 interface. The configuration order of the two HDMI interfaces is HDMI1, HDMI2. The display device 200 controls the display to be divided into display area C1 and display area C2. According to the configuration order of the HDMI1 and HDMI2 interfaces, the video data is displayed sequentially from left to right, that is, video data 1 is displayed in display area C1 and video data 2 is displayed in display area C2.

[0145] In some embodiments, when a display device receives multiple video data streams and corresponding audio data via an HDMI interface for multi-channel projection, if the audio data is played simultaneously after receiving multiple video data streams and their corresponding audio data, there is a problem of noisy sound, making it difficult for the user to clearly hear the audio content output by the display device. This disclosure provides an implementation method where, after the display device receives multiple video data streams and their corresponding audio data via an HDMI interface, it only outputs the video data and not the corresponding audio data. When the display device displays an indicator of at least one access device, the user input interface of the display device receives a selection operation input by the user. If the selection operation instructs the user to select a target access device, the controller of the display device responds to the selection operation by outputting the audio data corresponding to the video data sent by the target access device. Specifically, the controller of the display device determines the output progress of the audio data corresponding to the video data based on the playback progress of the video data corresponding to the target access device, thereby ensuring audio-visual synchronization in multi-channel projection scenarios.

[0146] For example, such as Figure 12 As shown, Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the split-screen display interface of the display device in this embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 The display device 200 receives video data 1 and audio data 3 from the access device 501 via the HDMI1 interface, and video data 2 and audio data 4 from the access device 502 via the HDMI2 interface. It initially displays video data 1 and video data 2 in split-screen mode, without outputting the corresponding audio data 3 and audio data 4, which can be understood as muting. After the user selects the indicator "Little A Set-Top Box" for the access device 502 on the touchscreen display, the display device 200 outputs the audio data 4 sent by the access device 502. Furthermore, based on the current playback progress of 60% for the video data sent by the access device 502, it determines to start playback from 60% of the audio data's progress, thus maintaining consistency with the current video playback progress and ensuring audio-visual synchronization.

[0147] In some embodiments, the display device can output audio data corresponding to the video data through the access device corresponding to the HDMI interface, such as... Figure 13 As shown, Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the split-screen display interface of the display device in this embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3After the display device 200 determines that it will output the audio data 4 corresponding to the video data 2 sent by the second access device 502, the controller of the display device 200, upon determining that the HDMI interface—HDMI3 interface supporting ARC function is connected to the access device 503, sends the audio data 4 corresponding to the video data 2 of the second access device 502 to the access device 503 through the HDMI3 interface, so that the access device 503 can output the audio data 4.

[0148] In summary, the HDMI channel page display method provided in this disclosure first determines the indicator of the at least one access device based on the device information obtained from at least one HDMI interface, then obtains the configuration order of the at least one HDMI interface, and further controls the display to display the indicator of the at least one access device according to the configuration order, thereby displaying the HDMI channel page, which includes the indicator of the at least one access device. This achieves the display of the indicator of at least one access device according to the configuration order of the at least one HDMI interface on the hardware, thus facilitating user identification and differentiation of devices connected to the display device via the HDMI interface.
