[0056] Figure 3 Some embodiments of the present application provide Figure 1 The hardware configuration diagram of the control device in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, the control device 100 may include: a controller 110, a communication interface 130, a user input / output interface, a memory, and a power supply.

[0057] The control device 100 is configured to control the display device 200 , and can receive user input operation instructions, and convert the operation instructions into instructions that the display device 200 can recognize and respond to, playing the role of an interactive intermediary between the user and the display device 200 .

[0058] In some embodiments, the control device 100 may be a smart device, for example, the control device 100 may be installed with various applications for controlling the display device 200 according to user needs.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the mobile terminal 300 or other intelligent electronic devices can play a similar function as the control device 100 after installing the application for controlling the display device 200 .

[0060] The controller 110 includes a processor 112, a RAM 113, a ROM 114, a communication interface 130, and a communication bus. The controller 110 is used to control the operation and operation of the control device 100, as well as the communication and cooperation between the internal components and the external and internal data processing functions.

[0061] The communication interface 130 implements communication of control signals and data signals with the display device 200 under the control of the controller 110. The communication interface 130 may include at least one of other near field communication modules such as a WiFi chip 131, a Bluetooth module 132, and an NFC module 133.

[0062] The user input / output interface 140 , wherein the input interface includes at least one of other input interfaces such as a microphone 141 , a touch panel 142 , a sensor 143 , and a button 144 .

[0063] In some embodiments, the control device 100 includes at least one of a communication interface 130 and an input / output interface 140. The control device 100 is configured with a communication interface 130, such as a WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC or other module, and can encode the user input command through the WiFi protocol, Bluetooth protocol, or NFC protocol and send it to the display device 200.

[0064] The memory 190 is used to store various operating programs, data and applications for driving and controlling the control device 100 under the control of the controller. The memory 190 can store various control signal instructions input by the user.

[0065] The power supply 180 is used to provide operating power support for each component of the control device 100 under the control of the controller.

[0066] 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 may provide a user interface (control the display device), allow the user to interact with the display device 200, and support the running of various application programs.

[0067] 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.

[0068] The operating system can be divided into different modules or layers according to the functions implemented, such as Figure 4 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.

[0069] 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.

[0070] 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.

[0071] like Figure 4 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.

[0072] 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.

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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 4As 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.

[0075] 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.

[0076] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, a display device is provided, the display device includes a display 502, a user input interface 504 and a controller 506, wherein:

[0077] The display is configured to display a configuration interface of a smart lock. The smart lock of the display device is used to limit content playback of the display device in a locked state.

[0078] In some embodiments, a display device is an electronic device that can present images, videos, texts, and other content. In some embodiments, a display device mainly refers to a device such as a television that can play various programs. It displays content to users through a display and can be controlled accordingly according to the user's operations and settings. For example, a display device can be a smart TV that has a high-definition display and can receive content from various signal sources, such as cable TV, network streaming media, etc. Users can operate the TV through a remote control or other input device to select different channels, adjust the volume, set various functions, etc. In a home environment, a TV is a common entertainment device that family members can use to watch movies, TV series, news, sports events, and other programs.

[0079] The display is the core component of the display device, responsible for converting electrical signals into visible light images for users to watch. It can use different technologies, such as liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light-emitting diode (OLED), etc. The performance parameters of the display include resolution, color accuracy, contrast, brightness, etc.

[0080] In smart TVs, the display is usually a large screen that can present clear and vivid images. For example, a 4K resolution TV display can display very fine image details, giving users a better viewing experience. When the TV plays a high-definition movie, the display can show the wonderful scenes in the movie in high-definition form, making the user feel as if they are in the scene.

[0081] Smart lock is a functional module for limiting the playback of content on a display device. When the smart lock is in a locked state, the playback content of the display device will be restricted, and the TV screen will usually stop playing and a password will pop up. The smart lock can be automatically controlled according to the time and conditions set by the user. In some embodiments, the smart lock can also allow users to personalize according to different needs. For example, the user can set different smart lock parameters for different family members, or set different locking rules for different program types, which can better meet the personalized needs of users and improve the practicality of smart locks. In a family environment, parents can set strict smart lock parameters for their children to limit the time and content of their children's TV viewing. For themselves, parents can set more relaxed smart lock parameters, or set different locking rules according to different program types. For example, for some programs that are not suitable for children to watch, the smart lock can be set to automatically lock when these programs are played, while for programs suitable for children to watch, no lock can be set. This can better meet the needs of different members of the family, and at the same time, it can better protect the healthy growth of children.

[0082] For example, in a family, if parents want to limit the time and content of their children watching TV, they can use the smart lock function of the display device and set it to a specific time period, such as when the child is doing homework or going to bed at night. The smart lock will automatically lock and prevent the child from watching TV. When the smart lock is locked, the TV screen will stop playing. In some embodiments, the TV can also prompt the user to enter a password to unlock and continue watching. The smart lock function can effectively manage children's TV watching behavior, protect children's eyesight, and effectively manage study time and TV watching time.

[0083] The configuration interface of the smart lock is the user interface on the display device for setting smart lock parameters. Through the configuration interface of the smart lock, users can easily make various settings, such as setting the lock start time, lock end time, selecting the effective date, turning on the cross-day setting switch, etc. The configuration interface can be displayed through concise and clear controls, which is easy to operate.

[0084] For example, for smart TVs, when users enter the configuration interface of the smart lock, a menu-like interface can be displayed with various options and settings. For example, users can see the clock setting control, which is used to set the specific time; there is also a cross-day setting switch, which is presented in the style of a switch. Users can turn on or off the switch to turn on or off the cross-day setting function. In addition, there may be an area for selecting the effective date. Users can determine on which days the smart lock is effective by checking specific dates or different days of the week. The configuration interface can be arranged and displayed based on user habits and needs, allowing users to quickly and accurately set locking parameters.

[0085] The user input interface is configured to receive a smart lock configuration request input by a user.

[0086] Among them, the user input interface is an interface on the display device for receiving user input, and the user input interface can receive various instructions and setting information input from a remote control, keyboard, touch screen, etc.

[0087] For example, for smart TVs, the most common source of user input commands and setting information is the remote control. Users can operate the TV through the buttons on the remote control, such as selecting channels, adjusting the volume, entering the menu, etc. When setting up a smart lock, users can use the direction keys and confirmation keys on the remote control to navigate the configuration interface, enter time, select options, etc. For example, if the user wants to set the smart lock to start at 8 pm, they can use the number keys on the remote control to enter "20:00", and then press the confirmation key to save the setting. In addition, some smart TVs also support touch screen input, and users can directly click and slide on the screen to operate. For some smart TVs that support voice interaction, smart lock configuration requests can also be entered through voice input.

[0088] The display device also includes a controller, which is the core control unit of the display device and is responsible for processing various input signals, performing logical operations, and controlling the work of other components. In some embodiments, the controller is mainly responsible for responding to smart lock configuration requests, controlling the display to display the configuration interface, and controlling the working state of the smart lock according to the user's setting parameters.

[0089] For example, in a smart TV, the controller is usually a microprocessor or microcontroller. When the user sends a smart lock configuration request through the remote control, the controller receives the request and controls the display to display the configuration interface of the smart lock. Then, the controller performs corresponding processing according to the user's operation on the configuration interface, such as setting time, selecting options, etc. If the user sets the lock start time to be later than the lock end time, and turns on the cross-day setting switch, the controller will control the smart lock to lock the display's playback content across days when the conditions are met. For example, the user sets the lock from 10 pm on Monday to 6 am on Tuesday, and turns on the cross-day setting switch. When the time reaches 10 pm on Monday, the controller will control the smart lock to lock, the TV screen will stop playing, and the password input box will pop up. Until 6 am on Tuesday, the controller will determine whether the unlocking conditions are met based on the change in time. If so, it will control the smart lock to unlock, and the TV screen can be restarted or continued to play when the TV is turned on.

[0090] The controller is configured to perform the following steps 602 to 606:

[0091] Step 602, in response to the smart lock configuration request, control the display to display the configuration interface of the smart lock, the configuration interface includes at least a clock setting control and a cross-day setting switch.

[0092] Among them, the clock setting control is a tool on the configuration interface for setting the start time and end time of the smart lock. It can be in the form of a digital input box, a clock dial, etc., and the user can use this control to easily set the specific time.

[0093] The cross-day setting switch is an option on the configuration interface that determines whether the smart lock is effective during the cross-day time period. When the user turns on the cross-day setting switch, if the lock start time is later than the lock end time, the smart lock will lock the playback content of the display device during the cross-day time period.

[0094] Step 604: In response to the time setting instruction triggered by the clock setting control, the locking start time and locking end time set by the user are displayed.

[0095] The time setting instruction is used to set the lock start time and lock end time. The lock start time and lock end time can be any two time points in a day. The lock start time and lock end time can be set separately. It should be noted that the lock start time can be earlier than the lock end time or later than the lock end time.

[0096] The lock start time is the time point when the smart lock set by the user starts to lock the content played on the display device. This time can be set according to the user's needs. The lock start time can be any time point in the 24-hour system, which can be expressed in hours and minutes. For example, parents do not want their children to watch TV when they do homework at night. They can set the lock start time of the smart lock to 7 pm. When the time reaches 7 pm, if the smart lock is on and other locking conditions are met, the smart lock will lock the content played on the TV. For example, a child is watching TV, and when the time reaches 7 pm, the TV screen will suddenly stop playing, and a prompt message will be displayed to inform the child that the TV has been locked.

[0097] The lock end time is the time point when the smart lock set by the user ends the lock on the display device playing content. Like the lock start time, the lock end time can also be any time point in the 24-hour system, which can be specifically expressed in hours and minutes.

[0098] For example, on the configuration interface of a smart TV, the clock setting control may be two numeric input boxes, one for setting the lock start time and the other for setting the lock end time. The user can use the numeric keys on the remote control to enter a specific time, such as "18:00" for 6 p.m. Alternatively, the clock setting control can also be in the form of an analog clock dial, and the user can set the time by dragging the pointer. For example, if the user wants to set the lock start time to 7:30 p.m., he can drag the pointer to the corresponding position. The design of the clock setting control should take into account the user's operational convenience and accuracy, so that the user can easily set the desired time.

[0099] Step 606, when the lock start time is later than the lock end time and the cross-day setting switch is in the on state, control the smart lock to lock the playback content of the display across days.

[0100] Among them, cross-day locking refers to a locking method in which the locking time starts from the locking start time on the first day and lasts to the locking end time on the second day.

[0101] For example, on the configuration interface of a smart TV, the cross-day setting switch can be in the form of a switch. When the user turns on the switch, it means that the cross-day setting function is turned on; when the user turns off the switch, it means that the cross-day setting function is turned off. The cross-day setting switch can also be in the form of a check box. When the user checks this check box, it means that the cross-day setting function is turned on; when the user unchecks it, it means that the cross-day setting function is turned off.

[0102] For example, if the user wants to set the smart lock to lock from 11 pm on Monday to 5 am on Tuesday, the user needs to turn on the cross-day setting switch. In this way, when the time reaches 11 pm on Monday, the smart lock will automatically lock and restrict the playback of TV programs, such as the TV screen showing a pause and a password input box popping up. Even if the time spans 12 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the smart lock remains locked until 5 am on Tuesday. If the user does not turn on the cross-day setting switch, and the set lock start time is later than the lock end time, the smart lock will be locked during the time period of the day and will not take effect across days, such as locking from midnight to 5 am on Monday and from 11 pm to 12 am on Monday, and you can watch TV normally from 5 am on Monday to 11 pm on Monday.

[0103] In the above embodiment, the controller of the display device controls the display to display a smart lock configuration interface including at least a clock setting control and a cross-day setting switch in response to a smart lock configuration request input by the user, so that the user can directly select the lock start time and lock end time and whether cross-day setting is required. Furthermore, the controller displays the lock start time and lock end time set by the user in response to the time setting instruction triggered by the user for the clock setting control, and by adding a cross-day setting switch, it is convenient for the user to conveniently select whether to lock across days through the cross-day setting switch, and then when the lock start time is later than the lock end time and the cross-day setting switch is in the on state, the controller controls the smart lock to lock the playback content of the display across days, and the cross-day locking of the content playback of the display device can be achieved through a one-time setting, which simplifies the lock time setting process and can effectively improve the cross-day locking setting efficiency of the smart lock.

[0104] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to: when the locking start time is later than the locking end time and the cross-day setting switch is in the off state, control the smart lock to lock the playback content of the display in different time periods within the same day.

[0105] The controller determines the relationship between the lock start time and the lock end time, and the state of the cross-day setting switch. If the lock start time is later than the lock end time, and the cross-day setting switch is off, the controller will prepare to control the smart lock to lock the display content in different time periods on the same day.

[0106] When the locking conditions are met, the controller controls the smart lock to lock the display content in different time periods within the same day. Specifically, when the time reaches the lock start time, the smart lock locks the display content, the TV screen stops playing, and a password input box pops up or displays the corresponding lock prompt information. When the time reaches the lock end time, the smart lock unlocks the display content and the TV screen plays again.

[0107] In one embodiment, assume that the user sets the lock start time of the smart lock to 20:00, the lock end time to 7:00, and turns off the cross-day setting switch. From 0:00 to 7:00, the controller determines that the lock condition is met and the TV screen stops playing, and displays a prompt message to inform the user that the TV has been locked and the child cannot continue to watch TV. From 7:00 to 20:00, the TV screen can be played normally. When the time reaches 20:00, the TV screen stops playing again, and the prompt message is displayed again to inform the user that the TV has been locked. The child cannot continue to watch TV until after 24:00.

[0108] Through the above processing method, the controller can conveniently choose to lock the playback content of the display in different time periods on the same day, or to continuously lock the playback content of the display across days based on controlling the opening and closing of the cross-day setting switch. Through the simple setting of the cross-day setting switch, two completely different locking setting methods are realized, which meets the user's needs to lock the playback content of the display device in different scenarios, effectively improves the convenience of the lock setting of the smart lock, and improves the lock setting efficiency.

[0109] In some embodiments, the configuration interface further includes an effective date setting control; the controller is further configured to:

[0110] Displays the target effective date set by the effective date setting control;

[0111] When the lock start time is later than the lock end time and the cross-day setting switch is turned on, the smart lock is controlled to lock the playback content of the display across days, including:

[0112] If the lock start time is later than the lock end time and the switch is set to on across days, the smart lock will be controlled to take effect according to the lock start time on the day before the target effective date and last until the lock end time on the target effective date;

[0113] Alternatively, when the locking start time is later than the locking end time and the switch is set to be on across days, the smart lock is controlled to take effect according to the locking start time on the target effective date and last until the locking end time corresponding to the day after the target effective date.

[0114] The effective date setting control setting is a control displayed on the configuration interface, which is used to set the effective date of the smart lock. Users can use this control to select the days on which the smart lock will take effect. The effective date setting control can take different forms, such as a calendar selector, a drop-down menu, etc.

[0115] For example, on the configuration interface of a smart TV, the effective date setting control may be a week number selector. For example, if the user wants to set the smart lock to take effect on Mondays and Wednesdays, the user can select Monday and Wednesday on the week number selector. Alternatively, the effective date setting control may be a drop-down menu, and the user can select different week number options from the menu, such as "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", etc. In other embodiments, the effective date setting control may be a calendar selector, and the user can select the effective date of the smart lock by clicking on the date on the calendar. In other embodiments, the options of the effective date setting control may be divided into holidays and non-holidays, and the user can select the effective date of the smart lock by clicking on holidays and non-holidays.

[0116] The target effective date is the effective date of the smart lock set by the user through the effective date setting control. The target effective date can be one day or multiple days, depending on the user's settings. Assuming that the user selects Tuesday as the effective date of the smart lock through the effective date setting control, then Tuesday is the target effective date. On this date, the smart lock will lock or unlock the playback content of the smart TV according to the lock start time and lock end time set by the user, as well as the status of the cross-day setting switch.

[0117] In some specific embodiments, an effective date setting control is displayed on the configuration interface of the display device. The effective date setting control can take different forms, such as a weekday selector, a drop-down menu, etc., so that the user can easily set the effective date of the smart lock. The user sets the effective date of the smart lock through the effective date setting control. The user can select one or more days as the target effective date. After the setting is completed, the display device will display the target effective date set by the user.

[0118] When the locking start time is later than the locking end time and the switch is set to the on state across days, the smart lock is controlled to take effect according to the locking start time on the day before the target effective date and lasts until the locking end time of the target effective date.

[0119] When the locking start time is later than the locking end time and the cross-day setting switch is in the off state, the locking period of the smart lock is controlled from midnight of the target effective date to the locking end time, and from the locking start time to midnight of the next day of the target effective date.

[0120] For example, suppose the user sets the lock start time to 10 pm, the lock end time to 6 am, and the target effective date is Tuesday.

[0121] When the cross-day setting switch is turned on, the smart lock will lock the content played on the smart TV at 10 pm on Tuesday. The lock state will last until 6 am on Wednesday, at which time the smart lock will unlock the content played on the TV. In this way, users can realize the cross-day lock function to meet the needs of limiting the content played on the TV during a specific time period.

[0122] If the switch is set to off across days, the lock period of the smart lock will be divided into two parts. The first part is from midnight to 6 am on Tuesday, during which the smart lock will lock the content played on the TV. The second part is from 10 pm to midnight on Wednesday, during which the smart lock will also lock the content played on the TV. In this way, users can realize the function of locking in different time periods on the same day to meet the needs of limiting the content played on the TV in a specific time period.

[0123] In some embodiments, when the smart lock is about to be locked or unlocked, a reminder message can be sent to the user so that the user can prepare in advance. For example, a countdown reminder can be displayed on the TV screen, or a sound can be used to remind the user that the smart lock is about to be locked or unlocked. For example, assuming that the user sets the smart lock locking time to 8 o'clock in the evening, at 7:55 in the evening, a countdown reminder can be displayed on the TV screen, telling the user that the smart lock will be locked in 5 minutes. In this way, the user can complete the current viewing or make other arrangements before locking. In addition, if the display device is associated with other mobile terminals, the reminder message can also be sent to the mobile terminal. For example, when a child is watching TV and the parents are busy with other things, after the mobile terminals such as the parents' mobile phones receive the reminder message, they can directly go over to communicate with the child face to face, let the child do other things, and plan time reasonably.

[0124] In addition, if the user has multiple display devices, the controller can realize the synchronization of effective date settings for multiple devices. After the user sets the effective date and other parameters of the smart lock on one device, these parameters can be automatically synchronized to other devices so that the user can enjoy the same smart lock settings on different devices. For example, the user has a smart TV and a tablet at home, both of which support the smart lock function. The user sets the effective dates of the smart lock on the smart TV to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the lock start time to 7 pm, the lock end time to 9 pm, and chooses to synchronize the smart lock to the tablet. When the user uses it on the tablet, the controller can automatically synchronize the smart lock settings on the smart TV to the tablet, allowing the user to achieve the same smart lock protection on the tablet, which can facilitate users to perform unified settings and management on different devices and improve the user experience.

[0125] In some embodiments, the controller can also intelligently recommend some possible effective dates based on the user's usage habits and historical settings. For example, if the user often sets up the smart lock on weekends, the controller can prioritize weekend dates as recommended effective dates on the configuration interface, which can facilitate users to quickly set up the smart lock and improve user experience.

[0126] In the above embodiments, the display device can combine the effective date to more flexibly control the locking time of the smart lock, meet the user's needs to lock the content played on the display device in different scenarios, improve the convenience of setting the smart lock for one or more effective dates, and improve the efficiency of lock setting.

[0127] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to:

[0128] On the configuration interface of the smart lock, the clock setting control and the effective date setting control are displayed;

[0129] In response to a target effective date setting instruction triggered by an effective date setting control, the target effective date and a switch for setting a cross-day setting for the target effective date are displayed.

[0130] In some specific embodiments, when a user triggers a target effective date setting instruction for an effective date setting control, the controller responds to the instruction and displays the target effective date and a switch for setting a cross-day setting for the target effective date. The target effective date may be displayed in the form of text information, and the switch for setting a cross-day setting may be displayed in the form of a check box or a switch button, etc.

[0131] For example. On the configuration interface of the smart TV, the user clicks the week number selector of the effective date setting control and selects Tuesday as the effective date of the smart lock. At this time, the user's operation will generate a target effective date setting instruction, and the controller will respond to this instruction and display the information that the target effective date is "Tuesday" on the configuration interface. At the same time, the controller will display a cross-day setting switch in the associated area of ​​the target effective date, presented in the form of a switch. The user can choose whether to allow the smart lock to lock across days on Tuesday by turning this switch on or off. If the user checks the cross-day setting switch and the lock start time is later than the lock end time, the controller will control the smart lock to lock across days from Tuesday to Wednesday when the conditions are met; if the user unchecks the cross-day setting switch, the controller will control the smart lock to lock the TV playback content in different time periods on Tuesday according to the locking rules of the same day.

[0132] In the above embodiment, in the configuration interface of the smart lock, the clock setting control and the effective date setting control are displayed synchronously. After the user sets one or more target effective dates, the cross-day setting switch for one or more target effective dates can be further displayed so that the user knows that the cross-day setting switch is for the target effective date, which is convenient for the user to conveniently realize the on-demand setting of the locking effective date and effective time.

[0133] Furthermore, when the user moves the focus to the cross-day setting switch, the controller can also control the display to display the effective period of the cross-day setting switch in the on state or the off state in the form of a chart, so that the user can intuitively and clearly understand the specific effective period of the cross-day setting switch and reasonably set the lock effective date and time.

[0134] In some embodiments, the target effective date is at least one day selected from the number of weeks; the lock start time and the lock end time are repeated every week according to the target effective date;

[0135] The controller is further configured as:

[0136] The control display shows the weekly locking setting result of the smart lock, and the weekly locking setting result is used to show at least one of the locking time period and the non-locking time period of each day of the week.

[0137] In some specific embodiments, the user selects at least one day from the number of weeks as the target effective date through the smart lock configuration interface of the display device, and sets the lock start time and lock end time. These settings can be operated through a remote control, a touch screen, or other input devices. The controller determines the weekly lock setting result based on the target effective date, the lock start time, and the lock end time set by the user. This result includes at least one of the locked time periods and non-locked time periods for each day of the week, such as showing which time periods on which day of the week are locked time periods, or showing which time periods on which day of the week are non-locked time periods, or synchronizing which time periods on which day of the week are locked time periods and which time periods are non-locked time periods.

[0138] For example, if the user sets the target effective date to Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the lock start time is 7pm and the lock end time is 9pm. The weekly lock setting results can be displayed in the form of a chart, with 7pm to 9pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday as the lock period, and the rest of the time as the non-lock period; and Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday all day as the non-lock period.

[0139] In some of the embodiments, the time of each day of the week may be represented by a bar graph or the like, and different colors may be used to identify the locked time period and the unlocked time period in a day, for example, red may be used to represent the locked time period, green may be used to represent the unlocked time period, and the like.

[0140] In the above embodiment, by allowing the user to select the target effective date from the number of weeks and set the lock start time and lock end time, the user can flexibly control the working state of the smart lock according to their own needs. Only need to set the lock time once a week, that is, repeat the effect every week, simplify the setting operation, at the same time, the display shows the weekly lock setting results, so that the user can intuitively understand the working state of the smart lock within a week, conveniently adjust the lock time setting, and improve the setting efficiency.

[0141] Furthermore, based on the lock period and non-lock period displayed for each day of the week, users can also make further detailed adjustments, allowing users to set different lock start times and lock end times for different target effective days to meet more personalized needs. For example, the user clicks on the lock period of a certain day to adjust one or both of the lock start time and lock end time. For example, the user can set a shorter lock time on Monday and Wednesday, and a longer lock time on Friday to meet the different needs of different days. Users can also temporarily adjust the lock settings for a specific day so that users can temporarily change the working status of the smart lock under special circumstances. Users can further set it to take effect only this week. For example, users can temporarily cancel the locking function of the smart lock on a specific day or time period, or extend the locking time, thereby improving the convenience of setting the lock time of the smart lock.

[0142] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to:

[0143] The configuration page displays the effective date setting control and the cross-day setting switch that matches the effective date setting control;

[0144] In response to the on operation of the cross-day setting switch, the effective date setting control is replaced with a first control for setting the cross-day locking effective date and a second control for setting the non-cross-day locking effective date.

[0145] Among them, the first control is a control for setting the effective date of the cross-day lock when the user turns on the cross-day setting switch. The default effective date contained in the first control is the same as the target effective date configured by the effective date setting control. The second control is a control for setting the effective date of the non-cross-day lock when the user turns on the cross-day setting switch. The default effective date contained in the second control is empty. Both the first control and the second control can be presented in ways such as a week number selector, a drop-down menu, etc.

[0146] In some embodiments, on the configuration page of the smart TV, the controller displays an effective date setting control in a preset area, which may be in the form of a week number selector. At the same time, a cross-day setting switch is displayed in the associated area, which may be in the form of a switch. The user can select the effective date of the smart lock by clicking the week number selector, such as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The user can also decide whether to allow the smart lock to be locked across days by turning on or off the cross-day setting switch.

[0147] When the user turns on the cross-day setting switch, the controller responds to this operation and replaces the effective date setting control with a first control for setting the cross-day locking effective date and a second control for setting the non-cross-day locking effective date.

[0148] For example, the user turns on the cross-day setting switch on the configuration page. At this time, the controller will immediately replace the effective date setting control with the first control and the second control. The first control displays the target effective date (such as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) previously selected by the user, and marks these dates for cross-day lock settings. There is no default selected date on the second control, and the user can use this control to select which dates to set for non-cross-day lock settings.

[0149] In some embodiments, when the user turns on the cross-day setting switch, the controller can also display an operation prompt on the configuration page to tell the user how to use the first control and the second control to respectively perform the cross-day locking and non-cross-day locking settings. The operation prompt can be presented in the form of text descriptions, icon prompts, or animation demonstrations, which reduces user confusion and erroneous operations and improves the convenience of user operations.

[0150] Through the above embodiment, when the user turns on the cross-day setting switch, the controller replaces the effective date setting control with the first control and the second control, which are respectively used to set the cross-day locking effective date and the non-cross-day locking effective date. The user can realize the difference setting of different days in the same week with simple operation, and turn on the cross-day effectiveness function on some effective dates, and turn off the cross-day effectiveness function on some effective dates, which further improves the flexibility of the setting. Users can choose different effective dates for locking settings according to different situations, and enhance the user experience by providing flexible setting methods and simplified operation procedures. Users can easily set the effective date and locking method of the smart lock according to their needs, and can intuitively see the setting results, which improves the convenience of user operation.

[0151] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to:

[0152] In response to an effective date setting operation triggered for any of the first control and the second control, when the set latest effective date is the same as the effective date included in another setting control, the same effective date in the other setting control is removed.

[0153] The latest effective date is the latest effective date set by the user through the effective date setting operation. For example, if the user has selected Tuesday as the effective date for the cross-day lock in the first control, and then selected Thursday as the effective date for the cross-day lock, then Thursday is the latest effective date.

[0154] In some specific embodiments, when the user performs an effective date setting operation on the first control or the second control, the controller will respond to this operation. The controller will determine whether the latest effective date set by the user is the same as the effective date included in the other setting control. If the two are the same, the controller will remove the same effective date in the other setting control. This ensures that the effective dates in the two setting controls are not repeated and avoid conflicts; if they are different, the controller does not perform any operation.

[0155] In some embodiments, when the controller removes the same effective date in another setting control, it can provide a prompt message to the user to inform the user of the change of the effective date. The prompt message can be presented in the form of a pop-up window, a sound prompt, or text displayed on the configuration interface.

[0156] In the above embodiment, when the latest effective date set by the user is the same as the effective date contained in another setting control, the same effective date in the other setting control is removed to avoid conflicts in effective dates. This ensures that the locking rules of the smart lock are clear and unambiguous, and the same date will not be set as both a cross-day locking effective date and a non-cross-day locking effective date. By avoiding conflicts in effective dates and improving the accuracy of settings, the user experience is enhanced. Users can more easily set the effective date of the smart lock without worrying about conflicts or errors. At the same time, the prompt information also makes it easier for users to perform setting operations, improving the efficiency and convenience of settings.

[0157] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to:

[0158] Display the cross-day effective period of the first effective date contained in the first control, and display the non-cross-day effective period of the second effective date contained in the second control;

[0159] When there is an overlap between the effective time period that spans across days and the effective time period that does not span across days, the overlapping time period is displayed as the effective time period.

[0160] The first effective date included in the first control refers to the date selected by the user through the control for cross-day locking. For the first effective date included in the first control, that is, the specific locking time period of the cross-day locking effective date, this time period spans two different dates.

[0161] The second effective date included in the second control refers to the date selected by the user through the control for non-cross-day locking. For the second effective date, that is, the specific locking time period of the non-cross-day locking effective date, this time period is within the same date.

[0162] The overlap period is the time period when the cross-day effective period and the non-cross-day effective period overlap. Assume that the cross-day effective period of the first effective day (cross-day lock effective day) is from 10 pm on Tuesday to 10 am on Wednesday, and the non-cross-day effective period of the second effective day (non-cross-day lock effective day) is from 7 am on Wednesday to 10 pm. Then the period from 7 am on Wednesday to 10 am is the overlap period.

[0163] In some specific embodiments, the controller displays the cross-day effective time period of the first effective date contained in the first control, and displays the non-cross-day effective time period of the second effective date contained in the second control. These effective time periods can be displayed on the configuration interface in the form of charts, timelines, etc., so that the user can intuitively understand the lock time periods of different effective dates.

[0164] The controller continuously monitors the cross-day effective period of the first effective day and the non-cross-day effective period of the second effective day to determine whether there is an overlapping period. When an overlapping period is detected, the controller keeps displaying the overlapping period as the effective period. During the overlapping period, the smart lock will lock the TV playback content according to the corresponding locking rules; if there is no overlapping period, the controller does not perform any special processing.

[0165] In some of the embodiments, in the locked period display chart, the overlapping periods can be distinguished by displaying different colors, so that the user can intuitively know whether there are overlapping periods through the locked period display chart, which is convenient for the user to adjust the settings.

[0166] In the above embodiment, the controller controls the display to display the cross-day effective period of the first effective day and the non-cross-day effective period of the second effective day, and keeps displaying the overlapping time periods as effective periods, thereby clarifying the locking rules of the smart lock, handling the problem of overlapping time periods, enhancing the user experience, and further improving the convenience of operation.

[0167] In some embodiments, the controller is further controlled to: determine the unlocked day in a week based on the cross-day locking effective date contained in the first control and the non-cross-day locking effective date contained in the second control; when the effective time period of the day before the cross-day locking effective date is an unlocked day, set the effective time period of the previous day to an invalid time period.

[0168] Among them, the unlocked day in a week refers to a day in a week that is neither a day for locking across days nor a day for locking across days. On these days, the smart lock will not lock the content played on the TV.

[0169] For a multi-day lock effective date, if the lock start time is the day before the multi-day lock effective date, then the lock time period of the day before is the effective time period of the previous day. Suppose the user sets a multi-day lock on Tuesday, the lock start time is 10 pm on Monday, and the lock end time is 6 am on Tuesday. Then the time period from 10 pm on Monday to midnight on Tuesday is the effective time period of the previous day.

[0170] In some specific embodiments, the controller determines an unlocked day in a week based on the cross-day locking effective date included in the first control and the non-cross-day locking effective date included in the second control. For the cross-day locking effective date, the controller checks whether the previous day's effective period is on an unlocked day. If the previous day's effective period is on an unlocked day, the controller sets the previous day's effective period as an ineffective period. During the ineffective period, the smart lock will not lock the TV playback content.

[0171] In the above embodiment, by determining the unlocked day and setting the effective time period on the day before the cross-day locking effective day as the ineffective time period when it is an unlocked day, more flexible locking time control is achieved and the convenience of smart lock setting is improved.

[0172] In some specific application embodiments, taking the parental lock module of the TV software architecture as an example, the function of the parental lock module is to prevent children from watching TV programs with a certain restriction level. Whenever the set effective time is reached, the TV screen will stop broadcasting and a password will pop up. As time goes by, if the current time does not match the effective time period, the TV screen will be replayed. On the current TV platform, if the user has the need to lock within a time period that spans days, for example, the user wants to lock from 16:00 every Monday night to 8:00 on Tuesday morning, it is necessary to set it on Monday and Tuesday respectively. The operation process is complicated, and the setting logic of the current TV platform is difficult to implement. In view of this situation, the present application provides a method that can flexibly select whether the effective time period spans days, which can be applied to display devices such as TVs to meet the user's locking requirements for different days and time periods.

[0173] The system structure of the display device is as follows Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the system architecture consists of three layers:

[0174] 1. Display layer, responsible for the display part, including the options in the smart lock configuration menu: "Start time", "End time", "Number of week (target effective date)", "Cross-day setting switch", and the display of the bar chart adapted to the "Cross-day setting switch" option;

[0175] 2. Business layer: This layer provides business support for the display layer and can provide data support for refreshing the bar chart of the display layer after the user moves the focus to the "cross-day setting switch" or clicks the option;

[0176] 3. Platform layer: This layer is mainly responsible for saving the "start time", "end time" and "week number" status set by the user, and provides an HSP interface for the business layer to read.

[0177] The system architecture runs inside the LiveTV app. The design of the architecture is to ensure that the view is separated from the data when it is presented. Therefore, each layer must complete the above independent work and also complete the overall function through interaction. For example: in addition to obtaining the effective time settings from the business layer, the display layer will also save the user's settings for "start time", "end time", and "number of weeks (target effective date)" to the platform layer through the business layer; the business layer will read the user settings for the effective time saved by the platform layer, and combine the status of the "cross-day setting switch" of the current display layer to calculate the length and color of each segment in the corresponding bar chart, and rely on the controls of the display layer to display the effect.

[0178] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 As shown, a "cross-day setting switch" switch item is provided. One function of this option is: when the user moves the focus to this option, the segmented bar chart on the left can display the locked time period for each day of the week. For example, green can represent unlocked time, and red can represent locked time period.

[0179] The added "Cross-day setting switch" is in the off state by default, so the start and end times set by the user are only effective on the selected days of the week. In this state, select the effective days as "Monday", "Thursday", "Friday", and "Sunday". The above settings allow children to watch TV programs only during fixed time periods of the day, preventing children from watching TV programs too early or too late when unattended.

[0180] If you keep the effective time period of the parental lock unchanged, select Tuesday as the effective day, and turn on the "cross-day setting switch", the final effective time period will be: from 16:00 on Monday night to 8:00 on Tuesday morning. The effect is as follows Fig. 9 shown.

[0181] like Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, after turning on the "Switch for cross-day settings" switch, a "Do not allow cross-day effective dates" option will be added to the right menu, and the original "Target effective date" option will be displayed as an "Allow cross-day effective date" option. The new options here are different from the original options as follows:

[0182] The original "Target Effective Date" option is used to set the number of days that require cross-day effectiveness after the "Cross-day Setting Switch" is turned on; the newly added "Do not allow cross-day effective dates" option after the "Cross-day Setting Switch" is turned on is used to set the number of days that do not need to be effective across days; the "Allow cross-day effective dates" option and the newly added "Do not allow cross-day effective dates" option can both be used to set the effective dates for the seven days of the week. When the same effective date as the "Allow cross-day effective dates" option is set in the newly added "Do not allow cross-day effective dates" option, the day in the "Allow cross-day effective dates" option will be unchecked, and vice versa.

[0183] like Fig.10 As shown, the lock start time is 16:00 and the lock end time is 8:00. If Tuesday is selected in "Allow cross-day effective date" and "Do not allow cross-day effective date" option is selected as "Thursday", there will be two locking states in a week: cross-day locking and intra-day locking. The specific locking time is: Monday 16:00 to Tuesday 8:00, Thursday 0:00 to 8:00 and 16:00 to 24:00.

[0184] In addition, if you keep Tuesday selected in "Allow cross-day effective date" and set it to only on Tuesday in "Do not allow cross-day effective date" option, Tuesday will be unselected in "Allow cross-day effective date" option. The final effect is as follows: Fig.11 shown.

[0185] For the case where the days of effectiveness across days are adjacent to the days of effectiveness within one day, such as Fig.12 As shown in the figure, the lock start time is 16:00, the lock end time is 8:00, and Tuesday is selected in "Allow cross-day effective date". In the "Do not allow cross-day effective date" option, select Monday and Wednesday, and the corresponding effective time periods are: 0:00 to 8:00 and 16:00 to 24:00 on Monday, 16:00 to Tuesday 8:00, and 0:00 to 8:00 and 16:00 to 24:00 on Wednesday. It can be seen that the time period from 16:00 to 24:00 on Monday is locked twice and will still be in the locked state. In addition, from this Fig.12 As can be seen, if neither the "Do not allow cross-day effective dates" option nor the "Allow cross-day effective dates" option is selected and the adjacent days are not set to cross-day effective dates, the entire day on Thursdays and Sundays will be in an unlocked state.

[0186] Finally, for the case where the start and end times are set to 0:00-24:00 and the target effective date is selected as seven days a week, regardless of whether the "Switch for setting across days" is turned on, each day will be marked as locked in the bar chart on the left.

[0187] The interaction process between the user and the display device, such as Fig.13For the "Multi-day setting switch" option in the smart lock configuration menu, the selection and click actions can be distinguished. The specific steps are as follows:

[0188] like Fig.14 As shown, if the user moves the focus to the "Cross-day setting switch" option in the smart lock configuration menu, the system will display a bar chart of the locked time periods for each day of the week on the left according to the selection status of the "Cross-day setting switch". If the user then clicks on this option and switches the status of the "Cross-day setting switch", the system will recalculate the locked time periods for each day and refresh the bar chart on the left.

[0189] The icon corresponding to "Tuesday" consists of three bar graphs with a total length of 24. These three bar graphs can adapt to the corresponding colors according to the start time, end time, cross-day setting switch, cross-day effective date allowed, and cross-day effective date not allowed set by the user. The specific matching rules are as follows: Fig.15 As shown in the table below. After determining the lengths and corresponding colors of the three bar graphs for each day, the lock status of the seven days of the week can be plotted simultaneously using bar graphs.

[0190] The calculation logic of the length of the three-segment bar chart every day and the color matching rules can be expressed in the following table:

[0191] 1) If the start time is less than the end time, select Allow cross-day effective date or Do not allow cross-day effective date;

[0192]

[0193] 2) The start time is less than the end time, and the option is not selected in the Allow cross-day effective date or Do not allow cross-day effective date;

[0194]

[0195] 3) Start time > end time, and Tuesday is selected as the effective date for allowing cross-days;

[0196]

[0197] 4) Start time > end time, cross-day effective date is not allowed, Tuesday is selected;

[0198]
