[0052] Various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent elements with the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise specified.

[0053] The word “exemplary” is used exclusively herein to mean “serving as an example, example, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0054] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present disclosure, numerous specific details are given in the following specific embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can also be implemented without certain specific details. In some examples, methods, means, components and circuits well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the subject matter of the present disclosure.

[0055] In the related art, when users watch videos and other content on smart display devices such as smart TVs, in addition to using a remote control to control the playback, they can also control the smart TV through terminals such as mobile phones instead of remote controls. However, in the related art, terminals such as mobile phones can only replace remote controls and cannot simplify operations.

[0056] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display control method and device. After the terminal is connected to the smart display device, the terminal can not only replace the traditional remote control to realize the remote control of the smart display device, but also the user can input some complex information of the smart display device through the terminal, which simplifies the user's operation and realizes the linkage between the small screen of the terminal and the large screen of the smart display device, which facilitates the user's operation and enriches the user's experience.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the display control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes steps S101 to 102. The method is applied to a smart display device, which may be a device with a display screen that a user can use to watch content such as videos, such as a smart TV, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0058] In step S101, the intelligent display device can display the target content, and when determining that the information input condition is met during the display of the target content, determine that the user is required to input information for the target content, and send a control instruction to the terminal connected to the intelligent display device, so that the terminal displays the corresponding input prompt in response to the control instruction, and returns the input information to the intelligent display device based on the detected input operation.

[0059] In step S102, in response to the received input information, display control of the target content is performed.

[0060] In this embodiment, the target content can be a video such as a TV series, a movie, an animation, a short play, a short video, or an audio such as a song or light music, or various graphic information on a software such as a social software, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this. All kinds of content displayed by the smart TV for the user are target content. For simplicity, the following text will not repeat "the content displayed by the smart TV is the target content". Users of these target contents can log in to the corresponding application to watch. In the process of watching, in some cases, the setting of the target content requires the user to input information (that is, the user passively needs to input information, such as answering questions in the video), and sometimes the user may need to actively input information according to their preferences (such as sending barrages). The information input conditions can be set in advance based on these situations where the user needs to actively or passively input information. When the smart display device determines that the information input conditions are met, it adopts a method of sending a control instruction to the terminal connected to the smart display device, so that the terminal can respond to the control instruction to remind the user to input information through the terminal, and then the smart display device performs display control of the target content based on the input information from the terminal.

[0061] In this embodiment, the connection between the smart display device and the terminal may include both being connected to the same local area network, both being connected via Bluetooth, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit the connection method between the smart display device and the terminal. For example, if the smart display device is a smart TV, the terminal connected to the smart TV may be a mobile phone in the same wireless network as the smart TV. Among them, the terminal connected to the smart display device may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0062] In this embodiment, the input information may be text information that needs to be input by the user. Since inputting text information through a remote control in related technologies is relatively complicated and inconvenient to operate, whereas the operation of a user inputting text through a terminal is simple and easy, it is possible to determine that the information input conditions are met when it is determined that the user needs to input text, and determine that the user needs to input information for the target content, and then control the terminal through control instructions to remind the user to input so as to obtain the user's input information.

[0063] In this embodiment, the information input conditions can be pre-set according to the scenarios in which the user needs to input information, the type of target content, etc., and the control instructions that need to be sent for different information input conditions and the input prompts that need to be displayed to the user can be matched and set to simplify the user's operations in the process of controlling the smart display device and inputting information through the terminal, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0064] In this embodiment, the method may include: before step S101, in response to a user operation, controlling the intelligent display device to establish a connection with the terminal, and controlling the terminal to display a corresponding control interface for the user. Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the control interface may include the following controls: an upward control, a downward control, a confirmation control, a left control, a right control, a return control (the terminal can return to the previous interface after the control is triggered), a back control (the terminal can return to the previous interface after the control is triggered), and the like. In the process of watching different target contents, controls such as the upward control, the downward control, the left control, and the right control can be assigned corresponding functions according to the different target contents. For example, if the target content is a video, the upward control and the downward control can be used as a volume plus control and a volume minus control, respectively, and the left control and the right control can be used as a control for playing the previous video and a control for playing the next video, respectively. The type and function of the controls in the corresponding control interface during the display of different target contents, as well as the operation mode of the controls can be set according to the playback control requirements of the actual target content, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0065] To further illustrate the display control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the following is combined with Figure 2-Figure 5 Several examples of "taking a smart TV as a smart display device and a mobile phone as a terminal connected to the smart display device" are shown to schematically illustrate the method.

[0066] In order to meet the viewing needs of users of different age groups, different viewing modes suitable for young people, children and the elderly can be pre-set in the application. Before the user operates the smart TV to open and enter the application to start viewing content, the smart TV will show the user how to watch the content. Figure 2The mode selection prompt is shown to remind the user to select a viewing mode from the available viewing modes as the target viewing mode for subsequent content viewing. The available viewing modes may include standard mode, children's mode and senior mode. The mode selection prompt may include multiple mode controls, and different mode controls correspond to different viewing modes. For example, the mode controls may include standard mode controls, children's mode controls and senior mode controls. In the process of the smart TV showing the mode selection prompt to the user, the terminal may show the user Figure 2 In the control interface shown, the user can issue a user operation for the mode selection prompt by operating the controls in the control interface. For example, the user can adjust the mode control selected in the mode selection prompt by operating the left control and the right control, and then trigger the confirmation control (such as Figure 2 The terminal detects the user operations on the control interface and synchronizes these user operations to the smart TV. Figure 2 As shown, the smart TV can determine the target viewing mode selected in the viewing mode based on the user operation detected from the terminal, and then display the target content according to the target viewing mode. In this process, the target content displayed to the user is selected from the previously displayed mode selection prompt and enters the interface corresponding to the target viewing mode (that is, the homepage or other interface of the application is displayed according to the target viewing mode).

[0067] Among them, after determining that the user has selected the target viewing mode, the smart TV can determine that the mode input condition in the information input condition is satisfied, that is, it is determined that the user needs to input information, and then it can send a mode input instruction (that is, a control instruction) corresponding to the mode input condition to the user. The mode input instruction is used to instruct the terminal to display a mode input prompt to the user, so as to remind the user to input mode-related information through the mode input prompt. That is, the control instruction includes the above-mentioned mode input instruction, the input prompt includes the above-mentioned mode input prompt, and the input information includes mode-related information. In some embodiments, after the terminal receives the mode input instruction, it can Figure 2 The figure shows a user display mode input prompt. Then the terminal responds to the user's input operation for the mode input prompt, determines the mode association information input by the user, and sends the mode association information to the smart TV. After receiving the mode association information, the smart TV can execute the above step S102. Then, step S102 for the mode association information may include responding to the mode association information, such as Figure 2 As shown, the target content is displayed in a manner corresponding to the mode association information.

[0068] In this embodiment, the mode association information that needs to be input by the user can be set accordingly according to the different viewing modes. For example, for the children's mode, the mode association information may include the health-related information such as the age and eye use of the child user set by the user for the child user, and the mode association information may include: the nickname of the child user who watches the content in the children's mode (also known as the baby nickname, etc.), the birthday of the child user, the gender and other basic information related to the child user. For the blacklist of the child user, the user can set the type and duration of the content that the child user is not allowed to view, and one or more specific TV series, movies and other contents that are prohibited from viewing. For the child lock of the child user, the child lock is used to prevent the child user from watching non-children's content, prevent the child user from sharing the location, etc. For the vision protection of the child user, the vision protection can define the sub-viewing time threshold of the child user each time, the daily viewing time threshold, the weekly cumulative viewing time threshold, etc., so that after determining that the viewing time of the child user reaches the above thresholds, the content display for the child user is stopped. A prohibited viewing time period is set for the child user, so that the child user can be prevented from viewing content during the prohibited viewing time period.

[0069] In some embodiments, the mode input prompt can also be as follows Figure 2 The baby growth report for the child user is shown, and the report can be the child user's preferences and viewing behavior summary analyzed based on the child user's viewing habits, so that the user can understand the child user's viewing situation based on the report, and further set and modify the mode association information for the child user.

[0070] It is understandable that corresponding mode association information settings can also be made for the standard mode and the elder mode. For example, the mode association information for the standard mode and the elder mode can also include user basic information, blacklist, mode lock (similar to the child lock mentioned above), vision protection, prohibited viewing time periods and other information, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0071] In this way, users can use the terminal to input mode association information of different viewing modes, which simplifies user operations, improves the convenience of using smart TVs, realizes the linkage between smart TVs and terminals such as mobile phones, and gives users a better interactive experience.

[0072] Correspondingly, the user can also make some other settings related to the content, such as setting the video playback speed, the video and audio playback volume, the brightness of the smart TV, account login, related settings for the first login account, setting the account avatar, etc. The method may also include: if it is determined based on the user operation detected from the terminal that the user needs to make settings, then the setting interface corresponding to the user operation is displayed as the target content, and the setting input condition in the information input condition is determined to be satisfied, and then it is determined that the user needs to input information for the target content; the control instruction includes a setting input instruction corresponding to the setting input condition, the input prompt includes a setting input prompt corresponding to the setting input instruction, and the input information includes the setting information input by the user. Among them, step S102 may include: in response to the setting information, displaying the setting result corresponding to the setting information in the setting interface.

[0073] When users use smart TVs to watch content, they may need to search for their favorite content to watch. In the related art, users need to input search keywords in the following ways: Figure 3 The smart TV can then input text on the input keyboard of the smart TV. Figure 3 The input box shown in the figure displays the search keyword entered by the user, and after the user operates the remote control to confirm the search, the search results corresponding to the search keyword are displayed. However, the text input operation of the user through the remote control is complicated and inconvenient. In the display control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the smart TV includes the following in the target content displayed to the user: Figure 3 In the case of the search control shown, since the smart TV is already connected to the terminal, the user can trigger the search control displayed to the user in the smart TV by operating the control in the control interface displayed to the user by the terminal. When the smart TV determines that the search control is triggered based on the user operation detected from the terminal, Figure 3 As shown, the search interface is displayed as the target content, and the smart TV can determine that the search input condition in the information input condition is satisfied when the search control is triggered, and can execute step S101 to send the search input instruction corresponding to the search input condition as a control instruction to the terminal. After receiving the search input instruction, the terminal can respond to the search input instruction and display the following information to the user: Figure 3 The search input prompt shown is used to remind the user to enter the search keyword according to their own search needs. The search input prompt may include an input keyboard and an input box. The user can use the terminal to operate the input keyboard to enter the search keyword corresponding to the content to be searched (such as Figure 3The search keyword may be the name, type, etc. of the content, and the present disclosure does not limit this. Then, when the terminal detects a confirmation operation for the search keyword, it can send the search keyword as input information to the smart TV. After receiving the search keyword, the smart TV executes step S102. Step S102 for the search keyword may include: responding to the search keyword, Figure 3 The search results corresponding to the search keyword are displayed as new target content. In some embodiments, the terminal can send the search keyword to a server (such as a server of the current application), and then the server sends the search results to the smart TV. After the smart TV receives the search keyword, it displays the search results corresponding to the search keyword from the server as the target content for the user.

[0074] In this way, when users need to search, they can input search keywords through the terminal, use the search interface on the smart TV, and display the search results, which facilitates the user's search, improves the speed and efficiency of the user's content search, and gives the user a better interactive experience.

[0075] Regarding the use of smart TV, users can actually watch videos through smart TV, and during the video watching process, users may participate in the interaction of the video, such as sending barrage, etc. The method may also include: the smart TV Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in the process of controlling the display screen to play the video as the target content, the terminal can be controlled to display the following to the user: Figure 4 The control interface shown corresponds to the video playback, and the bullet screen input control and the bullet screen input box (such as Figure 4 The terminal can generate a bullet screen trigger instruction if it detects a trigger operation on the bullet screen input control, and send the bullet screen trigger instruction to the smart TV. When the smart TV receives the bullet screen trigger instruction, Figure 4 After the terminal detects the trigger operation for the bullet screen input control, it can Figure 4 The figure shows the user showing a bullet screen input prompt, so as to remind the user to input the user bullet screen that he wants to send through the bullet screen input prompt.

[0076] In some embodiments, the bullet screen input prompt may include an input box, a keyboard for inputting text, a selection control for inputting emoticons, etc. When the terminal displays the bullet screen input prompt to the user, the terminal determines the user bullet screen according to the input operation detected for the bullet screen input prompt, and sends the user bullet screen as input information to the smart TV. After receiving the user bullet screen, the smart TV may respond to the user bullet screen from the terminal, such as Figure 4 As shown, the video continues to be played and the user barrage (that is, determined by the terminal based on the detected input operation) is displayed.

[0077] In some embodiments, the barrage input prompt can also be used to remind the user of the playback progress of the video being played on the smart TV, remind the user to turn off / on the barrage in the video, remind the user to adjust the playback speed of the video, remind the user to adjust the clarity of the video, remind the user to select the episode of the video, etc., and corresponding controls can be set for these reminders so that the user can make corresponding adjustments to the video played on the smart TV by operating the corresponding controls.

[0078] Among them, the above-mentioned examples of determining and displaying user barrages for target content can be executed separately, or they can be executed together with the examples described in other examples of this document of "controlling the display of target content based on input information returned by the detected input operation after the terminal displays the corresponding input prompt in response to the control instruction", and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0079] In this way, when users watch videos on smart TVs, they can directly perform operations on the video such as sending barrages through the terminal, which meets the various needs of users during video watching, improves the convenience of using smart TVs, and realizes the linkage between smart TVs and terminals such as mobile phones, giving users a better interactive experience.

[0080] In some scenarios, when a smart TV displays target content for a user, there may be some questions that require the user to answer. Therefore, the time points for these questions and answers can be set in advance to determine the question and answer input conditions. Figure 5 In the process of displaying the target content such as the video shown, if it is detected that the display of the target content reaches the time point where the user needs to ask questions, it can be determined that the question and answer input condition in the information input condition is met, and a question and answer instruction corresponding to the question and answer input condition is sent to the terminal, and the question and answer instruction can carry the target question that the user needs to answer. In some embodiments, the question and answer instruction can also carry alternative answers for the target question that the user can choose. After receiving the question and answer instruction, the terminal responds to the question and answer instruction to display the following to the user: Figure 5The question and answer input prompt shown is used to remind the user to answer the target question. The terminal determines the answer to the target question answered by the user based on the input operation of the user to the question and answer input prompt detected, and sends the answer information formed according to the answer to the smart TV as input information. The answer to the target question determined by the user can be selected from the alternative answers or directly input by the user, which is not limited in the present disclosure. After receiving the answer information, the smart TV executes the above step S102.

[0081] The display control of the target content in response to the reply information in step S102 may include any of the following:

[0082] The subsequent content corresponding to the answer information in the target content is displayed as the new target content. For example, the target content may be a quiz game, and the target question may be the question of each level of the game. The subsequent content corresponding to the game can be determined and displayed to the user based on whether the user's answer information to the target question is the same as the actual correct answer. If the user's answer information to the target question is different from the actual correct answer, the level failure prompt can be displayed to the user as the subsequent content to remind the user that the answer failed and needs to answer the question again; if the user's answer information to the target question is the same as the actual correct answer, the level success prompt can be displayed to the user as the subsequent content to remind the user that the answer is successful and can continue to the next level.

[0083] In the process of displaying the target content, a response reward corresponding to the user's response information to the target question is displayed. The response reward may be points, gifts, etc., which are not limited in the present disclosure. For example, the target content may be a game, and the target question may be a reward question of the game. A corresponding response reward may be generated based on the user's response information to the target question, and then the response reward may be displayed in the game interface.
