Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display devices, and in particular to a display device and a method for activating a do not disturb mode. Background Art

[0002] When using a display device, the user can send control instructions to the display device through a control device such as a touch pad or a remote control, so that the display device performs interactive functions according to the control instructions. When the display device is displaying the playback screen of the media data, it can still receive control instructions input by the user. Therefore, during the playback stage of the media data, the playback of the media data will be interrupted due to the user's accidental touch of the control device.

[0003] In order to alleviate the problem of the display device being terminated due to accidental touching of the control device when playing media data, the display device can be set to a do not disturb mode so that it does not respond to control commands during the process of playing media data. When setting the do not disturb mode, it is necessary to send a control command to the display device to start the do not disturb mode through the control device, and it is also necessary to send a control command to exit the do not disturb mode when shutting it down.

[0004] However, after entering the do not disturb mode, the display device does not respond to the control instructions sent by the control device, so it is difficult for the user to continue to send control instructions to the display device, and the user can only send control instructions to the display device after exiting the do not disturb mode. This results in an increase in the number of operations required to start or exit the do not disturb mode. Summary of the invention

[0069] Figure 2 Some embodiments of the present application provide Figure 1 2 is a block diagram of the hardware configuration of the display device 200.

[0070] In some embodiments, the display device 200 may include at least one of a tuner 210, a communication device 220, a detector 230, a device interface 240, a controller 250, a display 260, an audio output device 270, a memory, a power supply, and a user input interface.

[0071] In some embodiments, the detector 230 is used to collect signals of the external environment or external interaction.

[0072] In some embodiments, the display 260 includes a display function component for presenting a picture, and a driving component for driving an image display. The display 260 is used to receive an image signal output from the controller 250 for display. For example, the display 260 can be used to display video content, image content, and components of a menu control interface and a user control UI interface.

[0073] In some embodiments, the communication device 220 is a component for communicating with an external device or server 400 according to various communication protocol types. The display device 200 may be provided with a plurality of communication devices 220 according to different supported communication modes. For example, when the display device 200 supports wireless network communication, the display device 200 may be provided with a communication device 220 including a WiFi function. When the display device 200 supports Bluetooth connection communication, the display device 200 needs to be provided with a communication device 220 including a Bluetooth function.

[0074] The communication device 220 can enable the display device 200 to communicate with the external device or server 400 by wireless or wired connection. Among them, the wired connection can connect the display device 200 with the external device through components such as data cables and interfaces. The wireless connection can connect the display device 200 with the external device through wireless signals or wireless networks. The display device 200 can establish a connection relationship with the external device directly, or indirectly establish a connection relationship through a gateway, a router, a connection device, etc.

[0075] In some embodiments, the controller 250 may include at least one of a central processing unit, a video processor, an audio processor, a graphics processor, and a power processor, and a first interface to an nth interface for input / output. The controller 250 controls the operation of the display device and responds to the user's operation through various software control programs stored in the memory. The controller 250 controls the overall operation of the display device 200.

[0076] In some embodiments, the controller 250 and the tuner-demodulator 210 may be located in different separate devices, that is, the tuner-demodulator 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.

[0077] 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).

[0078] In some embodiments, the audio output device 270 may be a local speaker of the display device 200, or may be an external audio output device of the display device 200. In particular, for the external audio output device of the display device 200, the display device 200 may also be provided with an external audio output terminal, and the audio output device may be connected to the display device 200 through the external audio output terminal to output the sound of the display device 200.

[0079] In some embodiments, the user input interface 280 can be used to receive instructions from the user input. The user input interface 280 can include at least one of a microphone, a touch panel, a sensor, a remote control, etc. Then the display device 200 can receive the instructions input by the user based on the user input interface 280 to perform interactive functions with the user.

[0080] In order to perform user interaction, in some embodiments, the display device 200 may run an operating system. The operating system is a computer program for managing and controlling hardware resources and software resources in the display device 200. The operating system can control the display device to provide a user interface, for example, the operating system can directly control the display device to provide a user interface, or provide a user interface by running an application program. The operating system also allows the user to interact with the display device 200.

[0081] It should be noted that the operating system may be a native operating system based on a specific operating platform, or a third-party operating system deeply customized based on a specific operating platform, or an independent operating system specially developed for the display device.

[0082] The operating system can be divided into different modules or layers according to the functions implemented, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, namely, the application layer (Applications) layer (referred to as "application layer"), the application framework layer (Application Framework) layer (referred to as "framework layer"), the system library layer and the kernel layer.

[0083] In some embodiments, the application layer is used to provide services and interfaces for applications so that the display device 200 can run applications and interact with users based on the applications. At least one application can be run in the application layer, and these applications can be window programs, system settings programs, clock programs, etc. that come with the operating system; they can also be applications developed by third-party developers. In specific implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples.

[0084] The framework layer provides application programming interfaces (APIs) and programming frameworks for applications. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions. The application framework layer is equivalent to a processing center that determines the actions that applications in the application layer take. Through the API interface, applications can access system resources and obtain system services during execution.

[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the application framework layer includes a view system, managers, content providers, etc., wherein the view system can design and implement the interface and interaction of the application, and the view system includes lists, grids, text boxes, buttons, etc. The manager includes at least one of the following modules: an activity manager for interacting with all activities running in the system; a location manager for providing system services or applications with access to system location services; a package manager for retrieving various information related to the application package currently installed on the device; a notification manager for controlling the display and clearing of notification messages; and a window manager for managing icons, windows, toolbars, wallpapers, and desktop widgets on the user interface.

[0086] In some embodiments, the activity manager is used to manage the life cycle of each application and the usual navigation back function, such as controlling the exit, opening, and back of the application. The window manager is used to manage all window programs, such as obtaining the display screen size, determining whether there is a status bar, locking the screen, capturing the screen, and controlling the display window changes, for example, reducing the display window, shaking the display, distorting the display, etc.

[0087] In some embodiments, the system runtime layer can provide support for the framework layer. When the framework layer is used, the operating system will run the instruction library contained in the system runtime layer, such as the C / C++ instruction library, to implement the functions to be implemented by the framework layer.

[0088] In some embodiments, the kernel layer is a functional layer between the hardware and software of the display device 200. The kernel layer can implement functions such as hardware abstraction, multitasking, and memory management. Figure 3 As shown, the kernel layer may be configured with hardware drivers, and the drivers included in the kernel layer may be at least one of the following drivers: 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.

[0089] It should be noted that the above example is only a simple division of the operating system functions and does not constitute a limitation on the specific operating system form of the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application. Depending on factors such as the function of the display device and the type of operating system, the number of levels and specific level types contained in the operating system may be expressed in other forms.

[0090] like Figure 4 As shown, when a user uses the display device 200, he can input a control instruction to the display device 200 through a control device 100 with buttons such as a remote controller, and the control instruction can be transmitted to the display device 200 by near field communication such as Bluetooth and infrared, so that the display device 200 and the user can perform an interactive function. The key values ​​of the buttons are pre-stored in the display device 200, and the key values ​​are associated with the interactive functions, so that when the display device 200 receives the control instruction, it can perform the interactive function corresponding to the key value in combination with the current application scenario.

[0091] In some embodiments, the user controls the display device 200 to display the playback screen of the media data through a remote control. When the display device 200 displays the playback screen of the media data, the user can continue to adjust the playback screen or switch channels by pressing a channel adjustment button in the remote control, such as a direction key.

[0092] In other embodiments, the user may touch the buttons of the remote control during viewing, which may result in an event of accidentally touching the buttons of the remote control. In the process of touching the buttons of the remote control, the display device 200 will first respond to one of the buttons, thereby interfering with the playback of the media data. Based on the event of accidentally touching the buttons of the remote control, the display device 200 may also switch to other viewing channels or viewing applications, resulting in a poor viewing experience. In addition, in the use scenario of the live broadcast application, the live broadcast is real-time, and after the viewing process is disturbed, it is difficult to go back and watch the part that caused the interference.

[0093] In order to alleviate the interference caused by accidental touch of remote control buttons on the display process of media playback, a do not disturb mode can be set. In the do not disturb mode, the display device 200 can refuse to respond to the control instructions sent by the remote control, thereby alleviating the interference of accidental touch on the display process.

[0094] In some embodiments, a preset button or button group can be used. For example, a preset button group includes a home button and a signal source button. When the user presses the home button and the signal source button at the same time, the display device 200 receives a control instruction and, in response to the control instruction, starts the do not disturb mode, and then no other button instructions are received in the do not disturb mode. However, the user can control the display device 200 to exit the do not disturb mode by pressing the home button and the signal source button again. In this way, the user can control the display device 200 to enter the do not disturb mode during the playback stage of the media data or before the media data is played, so as to alleviate the accidental touch of the remote control to interfere with the display process of the media playback screen.

[0095] However, this method requires the user to perform additional operations to control the display device 200 to start or exit the do not disturb mode. In addition, in the do not disturb mode, the display device 200 does not respond to the control instructions sent by the user through the remote control. Therefore, when the user adjusts the playback content and playback parameters, the user needs to control the display device 200 to exit the do not disturb mode before adjusting. Therefore, this method of manually starting the do not disturb mode will increase the number of user operations.

[0096] In order to solve the problem that the user has to operate many times when controlling the display device 200 to start the do not disturb mode, some embodiments of the present application provide a display device 200, which can be based on Figure 5 The system architecture shown and Figure 6 The system architecture timing diagram shown activates or exits the Do Not Disturb mode.

[0097] In such Figure 5 In the system architecture shown, the display layer is used to display prompt information and controls related to the do not disturb mode.

[0098] The business layer is used to identify the remote control buttons and button combinations pressed by the user, and to perform interactive functions based on the identification results. For example, after the user touches the preset button for starting the do not disturb mode, the business layer stops responding to key values ​​other than the preset button to achieve the do not disturb effect. The business layer can also record the user's key press behavior and analyze whether the do not disturb mode needs to be started based on the key press behavior.

[0099] The platform layer is used to provide functional components such as timers to record the judgment cycle of keystroke behavior through timers. The platform layer can be associated with applications such as live broadcast applications that play media data. When such applications are started, they can immediately assist the business layer in determining whether to start the do not disturb mode.

[0100] In some embodiments, the display device 200 includes a display 260, which is configured to display a playback screen of the media asset data. The display device 200 also includes a communication device 220, which is configured to establish a communication connection with the control device 100, and the control device 100 is used to detect the user's key operation on the control key to generate a key instruction. Among them, the control device 100 can be a remote control.

[0101] The display device 200 further includes a controller 250, such as Figure 7 As shown, the controller 250 is configured as follows:

[0102] S100: In response to a play instruction for playing media data, controlling the display to display a play screen of the media data.

[0103] In some embodiments, the user can control the display device 200 to start the live broadcast application and display the playback screen of the media data based on the live broadcast application by pressing a button in the remote control. In addition, when the DND mode is not activated, the display device 200 can still receive and respond to the control instructions input by the user through the control device 100 such as the remote control when the display 260 displays the playback screen of the media data. For example, the user inputs the volume adjustment instruction to the display device 200 by pressing the volume button, and the user inputs the media switching instruction to the display device 200 by pressing the direction key.

[0104] S200: When a first key instruction input by a user through a control device is received, key information of a touched control key is acquired based on the first key instruction.

[0105] In some embodiments, the control device 100 is a remote controller, and in the description of the subsequent embodiments, the control device 100 is described as a remote controller. The first key command is a command input through a non-preset key in the remote controller, and the non-preset key refers to a key and key combination that are not used to trigger the display device 200 to start or exit the do not disturb mode. And, the touch control key refers to the operation of pressing a key in the remote controller.

[0106] When the user inputs the first control instruction to the display device 200 through the remote control, the controller 250 can obtain the key value according to the first key instruction, and determine the key information such as the number of keys, trigger coefficient, and trigger times of the pressed control key corresponding to the first key instruction. In this way, by obtaining the number of keys corresponding to the first key instruction, it can be determined whether to start the do not disturb detection process. The do not disturb detection process refers to the detection process started by the display device 200 after an application with a media asset playback function such as a live broadcast application is started.

[0107] In some embodiments, the controller 250 combines the number of keys corresponding to the acquired first key instruction with the key quantity threshold to start the do not disturb detection process. That is, when the controller 250 receives the first key instruction input by the user through the control device, after acquiring the key information of the pressed control key based on the first key instruction, it also acquires the key quantity threshold. If the key quantity is greater than the key quantity threshold, the key information corresponding to the first key instruction is stored based on the judgment period.

[0108] When the number of keys is greater than the key number threshold, the controller 250 may determine that the first key instruction currently received is input by accidentally touching a remote control key, for example, the first key instruction is generated by pressing 5 keys on the remote control at the same time. The key number threshold may be set in combination with the preset key / key group for activating the do not disturb mode. For example, when the preset key group for activating the do not disturb mode is 2 keys of "home key + signal source key", the key number threshold may be set to 2.

[0109] It is understandable that the key quantity threshold may also be set in combination with the number of combination keys used to trigger the interactive function of the display device 200. For example, during the use of the display device 200, by presetting two keys as a key group for triggering a specific interactive function, the key quantity threshold may be set to 2.

[0110] In this way, the controller 250 can determine whether to start the do not disturb detection process based on the number of keys corresponding to the acquired first key instruction and the key number threshold, and then determine whether to start the do not disturb mode according to the detection result of the do not disturb detection process.

[0111] It should be noted that, when the number of keys is less than or equal to the key number threshold, the controller 250 can execute the corresponding interactive function according to the first key instruction.

[0112] S300: Generate a trigger judgment value according to the key information.

[0113] In some embodiments, the trigger judgment value is the product of the trigger coefficient and the number of triggers within the judgment period. Figure 8As shown, after the number of keys is greater than the key number threshold, the controller 250 can record the key information corresponding to the first key instruction to generate a key record. The controller 250 can calculate the trigger judgment value through the trigger coefficient and the number of triggers stored in the key record, and then determine whether to start the do not disturb mode according to the trigger judgment value.

[0114] It should be noted that the key record can be generated based on the number of keys pressed corresponding to the first key instruction. Then a key record including the number of keys, trigger coefficient, and trigger times is formed. The trigger coefficient is associated with the number of keys. The more keys the first key instruction corresponds to, the higher the possibility of false touches, so the trigger coefficient corresponding to the first key instruction can also be set to a higher value. For example, when the number of keys is more than 5, the trigger coefficient can be set to 4, and when the number of keys is 3, the trigger coefficient can be set to 1.

[0115] In some embodiments, the process of the controller 250 calculating the trigger judgment value and starting the do not disturb mode according to the trigger judgment value is as follows: obtaining the trigger coefficient and the number of triggers corresponding to the first control instruction. Calculating the product of the trigger coefficient and the number of triggers to obtain the trigger judgment value. If the trigger judgment value is greater than or equal to the trigger threshold, controlling the display device to start the do not disturb mode.

[0116] like Figure 7 As shown, the controller 250 obtains the number of keys corresponding to the first control instruction, and can obtain the corresponding trigger coefficient and trigger times according to the number of keys. For example, the number of keys corresponding to the first control instruction is 3, and the controller 250 can obtain the trigger times "1" and the trigger coefficient "1" of the first control instruction with the number of keys being 3 according to the key record. Then the controller 250 can calculate the product of the trigger times and the trigger coefficient to obtain a trigger judgment value of 1. Taking the trigger threshold equal to 4 as an example, if the trigger judgment value is less than 4, the do not disturb mode will not be activated.

[0117] It is understandable that when the controller 250 receives the first control instruction, it calculates the trigger judgment value in combination with the first control instruction and the key record. For example, when the trigger count of the first control instruction with 3 keys in the key record is "1", the controller 250 receives the first control instruction with 3 keys, and at this time, the trigger count of the first control instruction with 3 keys obtained by the controller 250 when calculating the trigger judgment value is "2".

[0118] S400: If the trigger judgment value is greater than or equal to the trigger threshold, start the do not disturb mode.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the trigger judgment value is greater than the trigger threshold, the controller 250 starts the do not disturb mode, that is, controls the display device 200 to operate in the do not disturb mode. After the do not disturb mode is started, the display 260 continues to display the playback screen of the media asset data. At this time, the user inputs the first control instruction through the remote control again, and the controller 250 does not respond to the key instruction when it receives the key instruction again.

[0120] It is understandable that when the display device 200 plays media data after the DND mode is activated, the playback effect will not be affected by the accidental touch of the remote control button, that is, the user's viewing effect will not be affected by the accidental touch of the remote control button. Especially when the viewing scene includes children, even if the children play with the remote control, it will not affect the playback screen of the media data. Therefore, this DND mode can also be called a "child lock", and this method of automatically starting the DND mode based on the statistics of the user's keystroke behavior can reduce the user's keystroke operation, which is conducive to enhancing the user's experience.

[0121] In some embodiments, the do not disturb mode can also be started manually, that is, the controller 250 is further configured to: when receiving a second key instruction input by the user through the control device, obtain the key value of the pressed control key based on the second key instruction. If the key represented by the key value is the same as the preset key, the do not disturb mode is started.

[0122] It should be noted that the second button instruction is an instruction input through a preset button in the control device 100. The preset button here refers to a button or a button group used to start the do not disturb mode, such as a combination of a home button and a signal source button. After the display 260 displays the playback screen of the media data, the user can press the home button and the signal source button in the remote control at the same time to start the do not disturb mode of the display device 200.

[0123] It is understandable that after the do not disturb mode has been activated, the user can press the preset button again to make the display device 200 exit the do not disturb mode.

[0124] When receiving the second key command, the controller 250 can obtain the key value corresponding to the second key command, and confirm whether the key pressed by the user is the same as the preset key according to the key value. When the key pressed by the user is the same as the preset key, the do not disturb mode is started. It can be understood that the do not disturb mode of the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application can be started manually, and can also be automatically started by the controller 250 according to the user's key behavior record, which is conducive to enriching the applicable scenarios of the do not disturb mode. Based on the method of automatically starting the do not disturb mode according to the user's key behavior, the do not disturb mode will not be started when watching the playback screen of the media data, and then the playback volume and other parameters of the media data can be adjusted through the remote control, without the need to exit the do not disturb mode first and then adjust the playback parameters, which is conducive to improving the flexibility of the do not disturb mode.

[0125] In some embodiments, a dedicated control can be set for the do not disturb detection mode as a start and stop switch of the do not disturb detection mode. In this way, the user can control whether the display device 200 needs to start the do not disturb mode according to the user's key record by operating the control. That is, before the controller 250 controls the display to display the playback screen of the media data in response to the user's playback instruction of the media data, it is also configured to:

[0126] In response to a call instruction input by a user for calling a control menu, the display is controlled to display the control menu. A change operation performed by a user on the preset control is detected. When it is detected that the user performs a first change operation on the preset control, a do not disturb detection mode is started. The first change operation is used to change the display state of the preset control from a closed state to an activated state. When it is detected that the user performs a second change operation on the preset control, the do not disturb detection mode is exited; the second change operation is used to change the display state of the preset control from an activated state to a closed state.

[0127] It is understandable that when using live broadcast applications or similar media playback applications, users can set the playback parameters and personalized functions of the display device 200 in advance through the control menu, such as whether to start the do not disturb mode based on the user's key behavior.

[0128] like Fig. 9As shown, in some embodiments, the control menu includes a preset control corresponding to the do not disturb detection mode, and the display state of the preset control includes a first state and a second state. Among them, the first state is used to characterize the start of the do not disturb detection mode, and the second state is used to characterize the exit from the do not disturb detection mode. In the embodiment of the present application, the shape of the preset control is not limited, and the first state and the second state of the preset control can be clearly distinguished. In this way, through the association of the preset control with the do not disturb detection mode, the user can call the control menu and perform a change operation on the preset control in the control menu, so that the display device 200 can automatically start the do not disturb mode based on the user's key behavior on the basis of starting the do not disturb detection mode.

[0129] Taking the initial state of the preset control corresponding to the do not disturb detection mode in the display device 200 as the first state as an example, in some embodiments, when the controller 250 receives a control instruction input by the user to the display device 200 for switching the preset control from the first state to the second state, the do not disturb detection mode can be turned on. That is, the display device 200 can determine whether the do not disturb mode needs to be started according to the user's key behavior. In this way, the controller 250 of the display device 200 can start the do not disturb mode when the user's key behavior meets the conditions for starting the do not disturb mode.

[0130] In other embodiments, the controller 250 may turn off the do not disturb detection mode when receiving a control instruction input by the user to the display device 200 for switching the preset control from the second state to the first state. In this way, when the controller 250 of the display device 200 receives a control instruction input by the user, the do not disturb mode will not be activated according to the key behavior of the user.

[0131] It is understandable that the user can call the control menu according to his or her needs after the display device 200 is started, and perform operations on the preset controls associated with the do not disturb detection mode in the control menu, which can improve the flexibility of using the do not disturb mode.

[0132] In some embodiments, the controller 250 can detect whether the do not disturb mode is activated when the display 260 displays the playback screen of the media asset data. Then, when the do not disturb mode is activated or exited, different processing strategies are adopted for the key commands input by the user through the remote control. That is, after the controller 250 controls the display to display the playback screen of the media asset data in response to the playback command for playing the media asset data, it is further configured to:

[0133] Detect the running state of the do not disturb mode. If the do not disturb mode is in the start state, when receiving the first key command input by the user through the control device, continue to play the media data and do not respond to the first key command. If the do not disturb mode is in the exit state, when receiving the first key command input by the user through the control device, perform the target operation corresponding to the first key command.

[0134] In some embodiments, the operating status of the do not disturb mode can be determined by reading the identification bit corresponding to the do not disturb mode. For example, when the identification bit corresponding to the do not disturb mode is read as "1", it is determined that the do not disturb mode is in the start-up state; when the identification bit corresponding to the do not disturb mode is read as "0", it is determined that the do not disturb mode is in the exit state.

[0135] In some embodiments, the controller 250 detects that the do not disturb mode is activated when the display 260 displays the playback screen of the media data. Therefore, when the controller 250 receives the first key command input by the user through the remote control, it continues to play the media data and does not respond to the first key command to ensure the user's viewing experience.

[0136] In other embodiments, the controller 250 detects that the DND mode is in the exit state when the display 260 displays the playback screen of the media data. Therefore, when the controller 250 receives the first key instruction input by the user through the remote control, it will execute the target operation corresponding to the first key instruction.

[0137] In this way, after a live broadcast application is started, or after other applications for displaying the playback screen of media data are started, the method of detecting whether the do not disturb mode is activated is beneficial for the display device 200 to promptly adopt an appropriate response strategy for the key commands input by the user according to the user's key behavior during the playback of media data, thereby improving the user's viewing experience.

[0138] In some embodiments, after the user changes the preset control of the do not disturb detection mode in the control menu to the first state by calling the control menu, the controller 250 can also determine whether to start the do not disturb detection function in combination with the running state of an application for playing media data, such as a live broadcast application. Fig.10 As shown, the controller 250 is configured as follows:

[0139] Detect the running state of the playback application used to play the media asset data. If the running state of the playback application is foreground running, then upon receiving a first key instruction input by the user through the control device, execute the step of acquiring key information of the touched control key based on the first key instruction. If the playback application is in the running state of background running, then upon receiving a first key instruction input by the user through the control device, execute the target operation corresponding to the first key instruction.

[0140] Taking the live broadcast application as an example, it can be understood that when the display 260 displays the playback screen of the media data based on the live broadcast application, the running state of the live broadcast application is foreground running. When the display 260 does not display the playback screen of the media data, the running state of the live broadcast application is background running. In the scenario where the live broadcast application is running in the background, the controller 250 determines that the user is adjusting the playback parameters of the display device or performing other operations, so the process of do not disturb detection is not executed, and when the user enters the first key instruction, the target operation corresponding to the first key instruction is executed.

[0141] It is understandable that when the live broadcast application is in the background running state, the controller 250 does not record the user's key behavior during the period of the live broadcast application running in the background, so as to prevent interference with the user's operation of adjusting the parameters of the display device 200. For example, when the user needs to start a specific function of the display device 200 by continuously pressing the remote control button, pausing the detection of the user's key behavior can ensure that the specific function is triggered smoothly.

[0142] When the controller 250 detects that the running state of the live broadcast application is foreground operation, it starts the do not disturb mode detection function, that is, when the display 260 displays the playback screen of the media data, it always keeps detecting the user's key pressing behavior, and then starts the do not disturb mode in time when the user accidentally touches the event, so as to ensure the user's viewing experience.

[0143] In some embodiments, when executing the do not disturb detection function, the controller 250 determines whether to start the do not disturb mode based on the trigger coefficient and trigger threshold recorded in the key record. When generating the key record, the controller 250 can update the key record periodically to improve the tolerance rate for accidental false touch events. That is, the controller 250 is also configured to:

[0144] A timer is set, and the timer is used to record the cycle time. When the cycle time reaches the cycle threshold, if the product of the trigger coefficient and the trigger number is less than the trigger threshold, the key quantity information and the trigger information stored in the judgment period are deleted, and the cycle time recorded by the timer is reset.

[0145] In some embodiments, the controller 250 can set a timer after the application for playing media data is started, so as to record the time of the key cycle through the timer. When the cycle time reaches the cycle threshold, the controller 250 can calculate the trigger judgment value corresponding to the number of keys according to the number of keys. And when the trigger judgment values ​​are all less than the trigger threshold, the key information within this timing cycle is deleted, and the cycle time recorded by the timer is reset.

[0146] It is understandable that the controller 250 will start the do not disturb mode when the trigger judgment value calculated at any time within the timing period is greater than or equal to the trigger threshold. In this way, the user's behavior can be judged in a timely manner according to the key instructions input by the user. In addition, the problem of erroneous activation of the do not disturb mode due to the accumulation of false touch events due to the long recording period can be alleviated by updating the timing period.

[0147] like Fig.11 As shown, when the controller 250 starts or exits the do not disturb mode, it can control the display 260 to display a prompt box to prompt the user of the operating status of the display device 200 through the prompt box, and prompt the user how to operate based on the operating status of the display device 200. Among them, the controller 250 is also configured as follows:

[0148] The display is controlled to display a first prompt box, wherein the first prompt box includes first prompt information and second prompt information. Upon receiving a second key instruction input by the user through the control device, the do not disturb mode is exited, and the display is controlled to display a second prompt box. The second prompt box is used to prompt the user that the display device exits the do not disturb mode.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first prompt information is used to prompt the user that the display device starts the do not disturb mode, and the second prompt information is used to show the user the operation method of making the display device exit the do not disturb mode. When the controller 250 starts the do not disturb mode, it can control the display 260 to display the first prompt box. The first prompt box may include the first prompt information and the second prompt information, so that the user can be reminded in time that the display device 200 enters the do not disturb mode by displaying the first prompt box, such as "the do not disturb mode is activated". And the user is prompted by the second prompt information how to control the display device 200 to exit the do not disturb mode, such as "exit the do not disturb mode by pressing the signal source key and the home key". Among them, the first prompt information and the second prompt information can be displayed in parallel, displayed in turn, displayed in a variety of ways such as a marquee according to actual needs, so as to fully prompt the user of the current operating status of the display device 200.

[0150] In other embodiments, the display device 200 is already in the do not disturb mode. After receiving a control instruction input by the user to cancel the do not disturb mode, the controller 250 can display a second prompt message, such as "Do not disturb mode has been exited", and then prompt the user through the second prompt message that the display device has exited the do not disturb mode.

[0151] It should be noted that by setting a prompt box, the user can fully understand the operating status of the DND mode during the DND mode activation / deactivation process of the display device 200, and how to operate the DND mode, which is conducive to improving the convenience of user operation and user experience.

[0152] Based on the above display device 200, some embodiments of the present application also provide a method for starting a do not disturb mode, including:

[0153] In response to a play instruction for playing the media data, displaying a play screen of the media data;

[0154] When receiving a first key instruction input by a user through a control device, key information of a touched control key is acquired based on the first key instruction; the key information includes the number of keys, a trigger coefficient, and the number of triggers; the trigger coefficient is associated with the number of keys; the first key instruction is an instruction input through a preset key in the control device;

[0155] Generate a trigger judgment value according to the key information, wherein the trigger judgment value is the product of the trigger coefficient and the trigger number within a judgment period;

[0156] If the trigger judgment value is greater than or equal to the trigger threshold, the do not disturb mode is started; wherein, the do not disturb mode is used to continue to display the playback screen of the media data and not respond to the first key instruction when receiving the first key instruction input by the user through the control device.

[0157] It can be seen from the above technical content that the present application provides a display device and a method for starting a do not disturb mode. The display device displays a playback screen of media data in response to a playback instruction. When a first key instruction input by a user through a control device is received, key information of a control key in the control device is obtained. And a trigger judgment value is calculated based on the trigger coefficient and the number of triggers in the key information. When the trigger judgment value is greater than or equal to the trigger threshold, the do not disturb mode is started. The display device continues to display the playback screen of media data in the do not disturb mode but no longer responds to the first key instruction. The display device can enter the do not disturb mode by itself by obtaining the key information of the touched control key, which can improve the flexibility of the use of the do not disturb mode and reduce the user's key operations.

[0158] Similar parts between the embodiments provided in this application can be referenced to each other. The specific implementation methods provided above are only a few examples under the general concept of this application and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of this application. For those skilled in the art, any other implementation methods expanded based on the scheme of this application without creative work belong to the protection scope of this application.
