Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of television technology, and more particularly to an automatic control method, device, television set, and medium for a television set. Background Technology

[0002] Existing televisions typically include two modes: Home Mode and Shopping Mode. In Home Mode, users can manually adjust the television's operating parameters using a remote control to achieve their desired display effect. In Shopping Mode, the television presents the best display settings that satisfy most users.

[0003] There are two existing methods for entering shopping mall mode on televisions: one is to enter shopping mall mode via a specific button in the television's menu bar; the other is for the operator to manually switch the television to shopping mall mode using the remote control when it is in home mode. As can be seen, both existing methods require manual operation by the user, which is cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an automatic control method for a television set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the automatic control of a television set. The method can be executed by an automatic control device for the television set, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured within the television set. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: S110-S120.

[0030] S110. Obtain the mall startup file from the external device associated with the target TV.

[0031] In this context, "external device" refers to an external storage device that establishes a communication connection with the target television. For example, the external device can be a USB flash drive, hard drive, or other external storage device capable of storing the mall startup file. In this embodiment, the mall startup file refers to a file that can control the target television to automatically switch to mall mode and implement different functions within mall mode. For example, the mall startup file can perform the following functions: automatically modify the configuration parameters of the target television in mall mode; automatically switch the target television to mall mode; automatically update the presentation materials to be displayed in mall mode; or automatically configure the UI interaction format of the presentation materials in mall mode.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the target TV is already powered on, if a user inserts an external device containing the mall's startup file into the target TV, and the target TV detects the insertion, it restarts. During startup, a background service is initiated to automatically scan the external device for the mall's startup file. If the startup file exists, it is identified and read; otherwise, if it does not exist, the TV starts normally and enters home mode. It should be noted that by initiating a background service to automatically scan external devices and determine the presence of the mall's startup file during startup, the efficiency of reading external devices is improved, and the issue of occupying the target TV's application interface is avoided.

[0033] Of course, in actual operation, if the user inserts an external device containing the mall's startup files into the target TV while the target TV is off, the target TV will automatically start a background service when it detects the startup operation to automatically scan the external device for the existence of the mall's startup files.

[0034] S120: Automatically control the target TV to perform corresponding operations based on the target key fields in the mall's startup file.

[0035] The target key fields refer to fields pre-added to the mall startup file based on actual needs and functional adaptation. This can be understood as enabling automatic control of the target TV to achieve different functions through these target key fields. For example, target key fields may include: mode switching fields, presentation material update fields, parameter change fields, and UI interaction form fields. Specifically, the mode switching field automatically switches the target TV to mall mode; the presentation material update field automatically updates the presentation materials on the target TV; the parameter change field automatically changes the configuration parameters of the target TV in mall mode; and the UI interaction form field specifies the form in which the presentation materials are displayed on the target TV screen. For example, the UI display form may include audio, video, scroll bars, animations, etc.

[0036] It should be noted that the parameter change field and the UI interaction form field can be configured by the staff of the store where the target TV is currently located. This allows the staff to adaptively adjust and configure the configuration parameters and UI interaction form in the mall mode according to the actual scenario of the store, so as to better fit the actual use scenario and achieve the best display effect of the target TV.

[0037] In this embodiment, after obtaining the mall startup file, the target key fields in the mall startup file are automatically identified and obtained, and the target TV is automatically controlled to perform the corresponding operation according to the function corresponding to the target key fields.

[0038] The technical solution of this embodiment reads the mall startup file in the peripheral device associated with the target TV and automatically controls the target TV to perform corresponding operations according to the function corresponding to the target key field in the mall startup file, thereby realizing automated control of the target TV without the need for manual operation by the user.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an automatic control method for a television set according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment and, when the target key field in the shopping mall startup file is a mode switching field, it elaborates on the process of automatically controlling the target television set according to the target key field in the shopping mall startup file. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0041] S210. Obtain the mall startup file from the external device associated with the target TV.

[0042] S220. Determine whether the target key field in the mall startup file is the target flag bit.

[0043] It should be noted that when the target key field is a mall mode switching field, whether to switch the target TV's mode can be determined based on whether the target key field is a target flag. This can be understood as the target flag being used to characterize the field controlling the target TV to switch to mall mode.

[0044] S230. If the target key field is the target flag bit, automatically control the target TV to switch to mall mode.

[0045] In this embodiment, if the target key field is a target flag bit, the target TV is automatically controlled to switch to mall mode; otherwise, if the target key field is not a target flag bit, the target TV is automatically controlled to maintain the current mode.

[0046] It should be noted that there is no limitation on the representation form of the target flag. It can be represented by a binary flag (for example, the target flag can be 1) or by a field (for example, the target flag can be true).

[0047] The technical solution of this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, automatically controls the target TV to switch to mall mode when the mode switching field in the mall startup file is read, thereby eliminating the need for the user to manually switch modes and improving the mode switching efficiency.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an automatic control method for a television set provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment and, when the target key field in the shopping mall startup file is a demonstration data update field, it elaborates on the process of automatically controlling the target television set according to the target key field in the shopping mall startup file. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0050] S310: Obtain the mall startup file from the external device associated with the target TV.

[0051] S320. Determine the data storage path corresponding to the demo data to be updated based on the target key fields in the mall startup file.

[0052] Here, "demo materials to be updated" refers to new demo materials. In this embodiment, the data storage path refers to the location where the demo materials to be updated are stored on an external device. This can be understood as splitting the demo materials update field to find the data storage path when the target key field is the demo materials update field. In this embodiment, the demo materials update field can be split and searched according to the data storage path format to determine if there is a field in the demo materials update field that matches the data storage path format. If so, that field is used as the data storage path.

[0053] S330. Determine the validity of the demonstration data to be updated in the data storage path.

[0054] In this embodiment, after determining the data storage path, the demo data to be updated in the data storage path is identified and extracted, and the validity of the demo data to be updated is determined.

[0055] In one embodiment, S330 includes S3301-S3302:

[0056] S3301. Determine the data type of the demonstration data to be updated in the data storage path.

[0057] The data type is used to characterize different forms of presentation data to be updated. In this embodiment, the data type may include audio, video, animation, scrollbars, images, and text, etc. In this embodiment, the data format of the presentation data to be updated is obtained to determine the data type of the presentation data to be updated based on the data format. For example, when the presentation data to be updated is a video, its data format can be divided into different categories, such as Microsoft Video, Mobile Video, etc. Similarly, different categories may include different formats; for example, Microsoft Video may include formats such as WMV and ASF; Mobile Video may include formats such as 3GP.

[0058] Of course, the data type of the presentation to be updated can also be determined in other ways. For example, the data type can be determined by the memory size of the presentation. For instance, if the presentation is a video, the memory size will be relatively large; if the presentation is an animation, the memory size will be relatively small.

[0059] S3302. Determine the validity of the demonstration data to be updated based on the matching between the data type and the corresponding preset configuration parameters.

[0060] The preset configuration parameters refer to the configuration parameters corresponding to different data types. For example, preset configuration parameters may include: data format, supported technologies, etc. For example, data format may include: resolution; supported technologies may include: Dolby technology; High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology. In this embodiment, after determining the data type of the presentation data to be updated, the preset configuration parameters corresponding to the data type are searched, and it is determined whether the presentation data to be updated conforms to the preset configuration parameters. If it does, the validity of the presentation data to be updated is valid; otherwise, if the presentation data to be updated does not conform to the preset configuration parameters, the validity of the presentation data to be updated is invalid. For example, assuming the data type of the presentation data to be updated is video, and when the data type is video, its preset configuration parameters are that it only supports Dolby technology. If the presentation data to be updated supports HDR technology, then the presentation data to be updated cannot be played on the target television set, and correspondingly, the validity of the presentation data to be updated is invalid. For example, if the data type of the presentation material to be updated is video, and the default configuration parameters are that it only supports Dolby and HDR technologies, then if the presentation material to be updated supports HDR technology, the presentation material to be updated can be played on the target TV, and correspondingly, the data validity of the presentation material to be updated is valid.

[0061] S340. If the data is valid, automatically update the presentation data on the target television using the presentation data to be updated.

[0062] In this embodiment, if the validity of the presentation material to be updated is valid, the target television can support the playback of the presentation material to be updated. At this time, the presentation material already stored in the target television can be automatically updated using the presentation material to be updated. Of course, in order to ensure the subsequent restoration of the original presentation material, the already stored presentation material can be retained while updating the presentation material using the presentation material to be updated.

[0063] S350: Automatically saves the presentation data to be updated to the target TV's preset storage space.

[0064] In this embodiment, to ensure that the target television can still function normally using the updated presentation data after the external device is unplugged, the updated presentation data can be automatically stored in the target television's preset storage space. The preset storage space refers to a pre-configured location for storing the updated presentation data. This can be understood as the target television's local storage space.

[0065] The technical solution of this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, can automatically obtain the data storage path according to the demonstration data update field in the mall startup file when the demonstration data update field is read, and determine the validity of the demonstration data to be updated under the data storage path. If the demonstration data to be updated is valid, the demonstration data in the target TV is automatically updated using the demonstration data to be updated, and the demonstration data to be updated is automatically stored in the local storage space of the target TV so that the target TV can still work normally using the demonstration data to be updated after the external device is unplugged.

[0066] In one embodiment, when the data validity is invalid, the automatic control method of the television in this embodiment further includes: automatically displaying an error prompt window on the display interface of the target television; or automatically generating a corresponding error report and transmitting it to an external device. In this embodiment, if the presentation data to be updated does not exist in the data storage path, or if the data validity of the presentation data to be updated in the data storage path is invalid, a corresponding error report can be automatically generated and transmitted to an external device, so that professional technicians can promptly understand the cause of the error through the error report on the external device and modify the presentation data to be updated. Alternatively, an error prompt window can automatically pop up on the display interface of the target television, so that the user can promptly understand that the presentation data to be updated is invalid, avoiding the user mistakenly believing that the external device has a connection failure, thereby avoiding the user's repeated operation of re-plugging the external device into the target television.

[0067] Example 4

[0068] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of an automatic control method for a television set provided in Embodiment 4 of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment and, when the target key field in the shopping mall startup file is a parameter modification field, it elaborates on the process of automatically controlling the target television set according to the target key field in the shopping mall startup file. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0069] S410: Obtain the mall startup file from the external device associated with the target TV.

[0070] S420. Determine the file storage path corresponding to the mall mode parameters based on the target key fields in the mall startup file.

[0071] Here, "shopping mall mode parameters" refers to the operating parameters when the target television is in shopping mall mode. In this embodiment, "file storage path" refers to the location where the shopping mall mode parameters are stored on an external device. This can be understood as splitting the parameter change field to locate the file storage path when the target key field is a parameter change field. In this embodiment, the parameter change field can be split and searched according to the file storage path format to determine if there is a field in the parameter change field that matches the file storage path format. If so, that field is used as the file storage path.

[0072] The parameters for the shopping mall mode can include: Picture Quality (PQ) parameters and Audio Quality (AQ) parameters. For example, PQ parameters can include: brightness, contrast, chroma, and sharpness; AQ parameters can include: sound effects, volume, and sound quality.

[0073] S430. Determine the validity of the files in the store path that contain the mall mode parameters.

[0074] File validity refers to whether the mall mode parameter in the file storage path meets the preset format. For example, the preset format of the mall mode parameter can be JSON format. That is, if the format of the mall mode parameter in the file storage path is JSON format, then the file validity of the mall mode parameter is valid; conversely, if the format of the mall mode parameter in the file storage path is not JSON format, then the file validity of the mall mode parameter is invalid.

[0075] S440. If the document is valid, automatically change the mall mode parameters in the target TV using the mall mode parameters.

[0076] In this embodiment, if the file validity of the shopping mall mode parameters is valid, it can be understood that the target television can support the shopping mall mode parameters in shopping mall mode. Then, the shopping mall mode parameters already configured in the target television can be automatically changed using the shopping mall mode parameters.

[0077] The technical solution of this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, can automatically obtain the file storage path according to the parameter change field when the parameter change field is read in the mall startup file, and determine the validity of the mall mode parameter file under the file storage path. If the mall mode parameter is valid, the mall mode parameter in the target TV is automatically changed using the mall mode parameter, so that the user does not need to manually modify the mall mode parameter, thus improving the efficiency of parameter change.

[0078] In one embodiment, when the file is invalid, the automatic control method of the television in this embodiment further includes: automatically displaying an error prompt window on the display interface of the target television; or automatically generating a corresponding error report and transmitting it to an external device.

[0079] In this embodiment, if the mall mode parameter does not exist in the file storage path, or if the file validity of the mall mode parameter in the file storage path is invalid, a corresponding error report can be automatically generated and transmitted to the external device. This allows professional technicians to understand the cause of the error promptly through the error report on the external device and reconfigure the mall mode parameter. Alternatively, an error message window can automatically pop up on the target TV's display interface, allowing the user to understand that the mall mode parameter is invalid and preventing the user from mistakenly believing that the external device has a connection failure, thus avoiding the need for the user to repeatedly plug the external device back into the target TV.

[0080] Example 5

[0081] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of an automatic control method for a television set according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment uses a USB flash drive as the external device and a target flag bit of 1 corresponding to the marketplace mode as an example to illustrate the automatic control process of the television set. Figure 5 As shown, the automatic control method for the television set in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0082] S510: The target TV starts background services and automatically scans for external USB drives.

[0083] S520: Is the target TV equipped with a USB flash drive containing the store's startup files? If not, proceed to S530; if yes, proceed to S540.

[0084] S530, not entering mall mode.

[0085] S540: Read and identify the target key fields in the mall startup file in the USB flash drive.

[0086] S550. If the mode switching field is read, then execute S560.

[0087] S560: Is the mode switching field 1? If it is 1, then execute S570.

[0088] S570, the target TV is switched to mall mode.

[0089] S580. If the demonstration data update field is read, then execute S590.

[0090] S590: Is the demonstration data to be updated under the data storage path valid? If valid, then execute S5100.

[0091] S5100 automatically stores the presentation data to be updated in the data storage path to the preset storage space, and automatically updates the presentation data of the target TV.

[0092] S5110. If the parameter change field is read, then execute S5120.

[0093] S5120: Is the file storage path valid? If valid, then execute S5130.

[0094] S5130 automatically reads and applies mall mode parameters from the file storage path.

[0095] In this embodiment, the user can insert a USB flash drive containing the mall's startup file into the USB port of the target TV in the store, and then restart the target TV. During the startup process, the target TV starts a background service that automatically scans the USB flash drive for the mall's startup file. If the file is not found, the TV starts normally and enters home mode; if the file is found, the TV reads the target key field from the mall's startup file to determine the operation to be performed based on the target key field. If the mode switching field is read, it is determined whether the mode switching field is 1. If the mode switching field is 1, the target TV is automatically switched to mall mode; otherwise, it is not entered mall mode. If the presentation data update field is read, the data storage path is obtained according to the presentation data update field. Then, it is determined whether the presentation data to be updated exists and is valid in the data storage path. If it exists and is valid, the presentation data to be updated is automatically stored in the preset storage space inside the target TV so that the target TV can still use the presentation data to be updated after the USB flash drive is removed from the target TV. If the parameter change field is read, the file storage path is obtained according to the parameter change field, and the mall mode parameters under the file storage path are obtained. The parameters of the target TV in mall mode are automatically changed according to the mall mode parameters.

[0096] Of course, based on the three functions mentioned above, the target TV can also be customized by adding and adapting key fields in the startup file according to the actual needs of the TV to meet more functions.

[0097] The technical solution implemented here adopts the form of inserting a USB flash drive, which makes it convenient for users to modify and use the data. Furthermore, based on reading the target key fields of the mall startup file, more functions can be expanded according to actual needs, and the identification is also more convenient. In addition, during the process of updating the demonstration data, the demonstration data to be updated can be copied to the preset storage space inside the target TV. Even when the power is off or the USB flash drive is unplugged, the mall mode of the target TV can still work normally, which is closer to the actual use scenario.
