Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202110820749.0 filed on July 20, 2021 and No. 202110823565.X filed on July 21, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of display devices, and in particular, to a display device and a display method for the display device. Background Art

[0004] A user interface is usually used in a display device, so that a user can interact with the display device via the user interface, thereby enabling the user to configure the functions of the display device and perform daily operations. The user interface includes items that can be selected, for example, various controls (such as a progress bar) and menus. The menu of a display device such as a TV may include submenus such as system settings, image quality settings, and audio settings, and the submenus may include multiple different function options.

[0005] In some implementations of menu display, the user interface can usually display the main menu, submenus and their names. The submenus contain function options displayed as specific names, and the function options are usually displayed in the form of a vertical list in the menu. In the main menu interface, the user uses the remote control to operate and switch different submenus to make the user interface display the function options of the submenus. For example, when the user uses the remote control to switch and select multiple function options contained in the submenu, the function options displayed as specific names in the user interface will be displayed in high brightness as they are selected, in anticipation of the user's further confirmation of the setting operation.

[0006] However, with the continuous upgrading of smart TV products and the configuration of various image quality and sound quality improvement technologies, the display efficiency of the traditional menu display interface can no longer meet the current complex and professional functional configuration of TVs. When the functional options contained in the TV menu involve professional parameters and configuration effects that are difficult for ordinary people to identify and understand, it is difficult for users to understand the specific configuration effects only through the names of the menu function options. Users need to repeatedly set and compare multiple functional options to determine the specific functional setting effects expressed by the options; or users need to refer to the manual for comparison and understanding during the process of setting functional options in order to achieve appropriate operations on the options contained in the menu.

[0007] In addition, as users' requirements for resource quality continue to increase, display devices currently provide users with professional parameter setting functions for resources such as Picture and Sound. For example, if users need to adjust the image quality of resources, the display device can provide users with multiple image modes, and different image modes correspond to different quality parameters.

[0008] In the image mode function option, the display device can display all image modes on the image mode page, and then the user can select the mode they need on the image mode page. However, currently on the display device, a common image mode page is configured for all resources, and the parameter values ​​corresponding to each image mode on the image mode page are fixed. If a resource has special display requirements or the user has special display requirements for a resource, it may happen that some of the currently configured fixed image modes will not adapt to the display requirements of the resource, thereby affecting the user's viewing experience. Summary of the invention

[0009] According to one aspect of the present application, a display device is provided, comprising: a display for displaying an image and a user interface; a controller, configured to: display the user interface on the display, the user interface comprising items that can be selected, the items comprising a menu; and when the focus is on an option of the menu, control the user interface to display prompt content corresponding to the option, the prompt content comprising an image for introducing the function of the option and / or text for introducing the function of the option.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present application, the controller can be further configured to: obtain the source information of the target film source currently played by the display device, the source information including the signal source information of the target film source and the type information of the target film source; determine all image modes corresponding to the target film source based on the signal source information and the type information; and display all image modes in the same image mode list.

[0054] In some embodiments, the user input interface may be used to receive a control signal from the control device 100 (eg, an infrared remote controller, etc.).

[0055] See also Figure 4In 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 Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (referred to as "system runtime library layer"), and the kernel layer.

[0056] The embodiments of the present application can be applied to various types of display devices (including but not limited to: smart TVs, LCD TVs, set-top boxes, etc.) The following will take a smart TV as an example to illustrate a display device and a display method for a display device.

[0057] Figure 5A A schematic diagram of a user interface for displaying a graphic style menu according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0058] In some embodiments, the display device provided by the present application includes a display that can be used to display images and a user interface, and the user interface can display items that can be selected, such as various controls (such as a progress bar, etc.) and menus, for controlling the television. The user selects and confirms the options in the television menu through a control device such as a remote control, and can configure the television functions.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the menu in the user interface may include images and / or text, that is, the menu is a menu in a graphic and text style.

[0060] For example, common image menus of smart TVs may include an image effect menu, an image ratio menu, and an image mode menu, etc., and common sound setting menus of smart TVs may include an audio menu, a surround sound menu, etc.

[0061] The display device provided in the present application can be implemented in a specific menu setting interface, and can provide users with a menu display of pictures, texts, or both pictures and texts according to the functions corresponding to the menu setting options, thereby providing users with an intuitive visual and auditory description of the options.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, during the display process, the graphic prompt information of the graphic style menu will change instantly during the focus movement, and automatically adapt to the menu options corresponding to the current focus, so that the user can obtain the specific graphic style summary and introduction of the current option in real time, realizing the display of intelligent menu graphic style, and bringing users a comfortable functional experience.

[0063] In some embodiments, the menu includes multiple options. During the display process, when the focus of the user interface is on an option of the menu, the controller can control the user interface to display prompt content corresponding to the option, and the prompt content includes an image for introducing the function of the option and / or text introducing the function of the option.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, when the focus is on the current option (hereinafter also referred to as the "first option"), the controller will control the first option to be displayed in high brightness to prompt the user that the current option has been selected, and the controller will control the user interface to display the first prompt content corresponding to the first option. The first prompt content is used to describe and introduce the functional configuration effect of the first option to help the user decide whether to confirm the first option.

[0065] For example, Figure 5A The audio menu shown in the user interface includes 4 options: dynamic, standard, classical and movie. The current focus of the TV user interface is on the dynamic option position, and the user interface displays the corresponding first prompt content, which is located in the menu interface below all options. Specifically, it is displayed as a picture and a text paragraph covering the upper layer of the picture.

[0066] It can be found that if there is no prompt content, it is difficult for ordinary users to understand the specific meaning of the dynamic options in the corresponding audio menu and the effects after setting them.

[0067] Through the picture of the concert scene in the first prompt content, the user can get an intuitive and visual introduction to the dynamic options in the menu, and the setting effect may be similar to that of a concert scene; through the text paragraph displayed on the picture "suitable settings for enjoying moments such as listening to music, concerts, and watching TV series", it can be clearly indicated to the user that when the user listens to or watches live or recorded concerts, or listens to pop music or watches TV series, they can get a better auditory experience when they choose the dynamic option.

[0068] Such a display method for display devices reduces the difficulty for users to understand functional options, so that users do not need to experience different options one by one and repeatedly compare the differences in corresponding audio effects under different option setting scenarios, thereby allowing users to quickly select the desired function.

[0069] Figure 5B This is a schematic diagram of a user interface for displaying a graphic style menu according to another embodiment of the present application.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the focus in the user interface moves from the first option to the next option (hereinafter also referred to as the "second option"), the controller controls the user interface to display a second prompt content corresponding to the second option.

[0071] The second prompt content may include a second image for visually introducing the function of the second option, and / or a second text briefly introducing the function of the second option. It is understandable that the second prompt content corresponding to the second option may include both images and text, or may only include images or text.

[0072] For example, based on Figure 5A The user operates the user interface in the audio menu, and the user moves the focus from the dynamic option to the movie option. The prompt content below the audio menu in the user interface also changes immediately, from the previous dynamic description image and text paragraph to the movie description image and text paragraph. It can be found that the second prompt content corresponding to the movie option of the audio menu has obviously changed from the first prompt content. The second image is specifically implemented as a picture in this embodiment, and the movie scene shown in the picture can provide the user with a clearer functional effect; the second text is displayed as "suitable for setting when watching a movie", which clearly indicates to the user in text that the audio effect represented by the movie option is suitable for movies or videos with grand scenes.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, the menu is displayed in a graphic style, and introductory text and images corresponding to the options in the menu are presented, thereby enriching the content of the menu, allowing users to quickly select the desired functions, providing users with a better experience.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the focus of the user interface moves from the first option in the menu to the second option, the controller will draw a specific prompt area in the user interface, and during the switching of options, the controller controls the prompt area to switch from displaying the first prompt content to displaying the second prompt content. It should be noted that the prompt area and the menu option are usually set to maintain a relatively fixed position.

[0075] For example, the user interface has Figure 5A Transformed to Figure 5B During the process, the first prompt content and the second prompt content are displayed at the same position on the user interface, that is, the controller instantly displays the corresponding prompt content in a fixed prompt area according to different menu options.

[0076] By setting the prompt area, the display of the prompt content can be kept in a fixed position, thereby improving the regularity and neatness of the TV user interface display.

[0077] In some embodiments, when the second prompt content displayed on the user interface includes a second image and a second text, the controller controls the second text to be displayed over the lower edge of the second image. That is, in this embodiment, the text paragraph is displayed over the second image, and the text paragraph is displayed in the display range of the image, wherein the text paragraph can be configured with different transparencies to display different combination effects, such as Figure 5A , Figure 5B as shown in .

[0078] In some embodiments, when the second prompt content displayed on the user interface includes a second image and second text, the controller can also control the second text to be displayed in a peripheral position of the second image, for example, on the bottom, right, left, or top of the image to display different combination effects.

[0079] In some embodiments, the second prompt content displayed on the user interface may include a second image and a second text, and the controller controls the second text and the second image to be displayed as a list in a menu of the user interface.

[0080] For example, Figure 5B In the audio menu, the four options and the second prompt content are displayed in a list vertically to suit the user's usual viewing habits.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second image included in the second prompt content can be implemented as a picture, animation, short video, audio, etc., and through multimedia methods, the function and effect mapped by the second option of the menu can be introduced more intuitively and vividly.

[0082] Figure 5C This is a schematic diagram of a user interface for displaying a graphic style menu according to another embodiment of the present application.

[0083] In some embodiments, when the focus of the menu in the user interface moves from the first option to the second option, the second prompt content may only include a second image for intuitively introducing the function of the second option.

[0084] For example, based on Figure 5C The surround sound setting menu shown includes concert, movie, and off options, with the current focus on the movie option. The corresponding prompt content displayed in the current user interface is an image introduction. It can be seen from the picture that compared to a TV that is not equipped with surround sound, the prompt content image at this time shows multiple pronunciation identifiers, including sound emitted toward the left and right sides of the TV, and sound emitted toward the front of the TV panel; based on the current prompt content, the user will understand in an intuitive and visual dimension that after the movie option is configured, the TV's surround sound will add 4 channels.

[0085] In some embodiments, based on Figure 5CThe user controls the focus from the movie option to the concert option, and the second prompt content of the user interface is immediately displayed as Figure 5D As shown in the figure, in the concert sound effect settings, the intuitive and visual introduction of the picture has two fewer channels compared to the movie option. Through this graphic style menu display solution, users can very intuitively and vividly understand the difference between concert and movie surround sound configurations.

[0086] In some embodiments, based on Figure 5D The user controls the focus from the concert option to the close option, and the second prompt content of the user interface is immediately displayed as Figure 5E As shown in the figure, after the off option is selected, the prompt content displayed in the user interface has 2 fewer channels compared to the picture of the concert option. It can be understood that in the off mode, the TV will not display surround sound.

[0087] According to the embodiments of the present application, by displaying the above graphic style menu, the user can realize an intuitive comparison of the functional effects of multiple options in the menu, thereby improving the accuracy and convenience of operations in human-computer interaction.

[0088] Fig. 5F A schematic diagram of a user interface for displaying a graphic style menu according to another embodiment of the present application.

[0089] In some embodiments, the user interface displays second prompt content corresponding to the second option. When the second prompt content only includes the second text, the controller controls the second text in the user interface to be displayed between the menu name and the option.

[0090] In some embodiments, the controller can also control the second option to be displayed in high brightness in the user interface, and control the font of the menu name to be larger than the font of the option and the second text, so that the user can quickly identify the prompt content corresponding to the option in multiple lines of text.

[0091] For example, in the TV user interface, users can enter the image effect setting menu through the path of settings, images, and image effects. When the focus is on vivid, a prompt text paragraph will be displayed below the menu name, "Suitable settings for watching movies in daytime and bright living room environments." This explicit method allows users to quickly and accurately obtain the functional effects corresponding to the options, as well as the option configuration scenarios.

[0092] It can be understood that the meaning of the specific image effect of the corresponding option is presented to the user in text form under the title of the image effect setting page, which is convenient for the user to understand. After the focus moves, the corresponding text information changes in real time, so that the option prompt information changes in real time with the focus, ensuring the real-time and reliability of the function.

[0093] In some embodiments, image settings and sound settings are the most commonly used menu setting options for smart TVs, which mainly provide users with the most intuitive parameter adjustment settings for visual and auditory effects, greatly affecting the user experience. The display method of the graphic style menu provided by the present invention can provide users with three styles of menu display methods: graphic, text, and graphic and text in the setting interface of a specific function according to the function of the setting menu;

[0094] At the same time, the menu display prompt information in graphic style will change during the focus movement process, and automatically adapt to the options corresponding to the current focus, so that users can get a specific graphic style summary and introduction of the current option in real time, realizing the display of intelligent menu graphic style, bringing users a comfortable functional experience.

[0095] In some embodiments, the graphic-text menu display method provided by the present application can realize the display of graphics, text, and graphic-text styles of related function menus. When the user enters the settings page, the smart TV will automatically change the display style of the settings menu according to the current scene, and present the specific functional features of the option in focus in the current menu to the user in the form of graphics and text, so that the user can make specific choices.

[0096] At the same time, after the user moves the focus, the menu information in the relevant graphic style will be updated in real time, which is convenient for the user to obtain the current menu information in real time and accurately, and select the best parameter options, providing users with an intelligent, convenient and instant graphic style menu display solution. This solution not only makes it convenient for users to view the graphic information of the menu, but also enhances the intelligence of the product, improves the interactive experience of the product, and improves the user experience of the product.

[0097] In the embodiments of the present application, a function is also provided in which the display device can implement the image mode selected by the menu.

[0098] For example, as users' requirements for resource quality continue to increase, the display device 200 provides users with professional parameter setting functions for resources such as Picture and Sound. For example, if a user needs to adjust the image quality of a resource, the display device 200 can provide the user with multiple image modes, and different image modes correspond to different quality parameters.

[0099] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of an image mode page with a fixed image mode in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the image mode page only has image mode adjustments that can be adapted to all resources, such as vivid, standard, energy saving, game, sports, daytime theater, nighttime theater, etc., that is, when the user watches each resource and needs to adjust the mode of the resource, the display device 200 will display the following Figure 6The image mode page shown. If a resource has special display requirements or a user has special display requirements for a resource, it may happen that the currently configured fixed image mode does not adapt to the display requirements of the resource. This affects the user's viewing experience. The display device 200 can display all image modes on the image mode page, and the user can select the mode he needs on the image mode page.

[0100] However, in Figure 6 On the display device 200 shown, a common image mode page is configured for all resources, and the parameter values ​​corresponding to the various image modes on the image mode page are fixed.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, a display device 200 is also provided, which can provide and display different image modes for different signal sources and different types of film sources, instead of using one or several fixed image modes to adapt to all film sources, thereby ensuring that the image display quality of the film source can meet the viewing needs of the user.

[0102] The display device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application first needs to configure the corresponding image modes for the film sources of different signal sources and different types of film sources. For example, the Dolby type film sources provided by different signal sources can correspond to the Dolby Vision IQ mode, Dolby Vision dark mode and Dolby Vision custom mode, etc.; the HDR (High-Dynamic Range) type film sources provided by different signal sources can correspond to the HDR vivid mode, HDR standard mode, HDR theater mode, etc.; the SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) type film sources provided by the network application signal source and the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) signal source can correspond to the vivid mode, standard mode, energy-saving mode, sports mode, daytime theater mode, nighttime theater mode, etc. In addition, different image modes have their own image quality parameters.

[0103] After configuring various alternative image modes, the display device 200 can play the content of the target film source according to the user's selection. When the user needs to change the image mode of the target film source, the user can input an image mode display instruction to the display device 200. After receiving the instruction, the display device 200 can select all the image modes corresponding to the target film source from the various image modes that have been configured. Then, these image modes are displayed in turn on the image mode list for the user to select. After the user selects the target image mode, the display device 200 can adjust the image quality of the target film source according to the image quality parameters corresponding to the target image, so as to meet the user's viewing needs.

[0104] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 The flowchart of the display device 200 displaying the image mode according to some embodiments is shown. In the display device 200, the controller 250 specifically performs the processing of the display device 200. When displaying the image mode, the controller 250 can be configured as follows: first, obtain the source information of the target source currently played by the display device 200, wherein the source information includes the signal source information of the target source and the type information of the target source. Then, determine all the image modes corresponding to the target source according to the signal source information and the type information. Finally, display all the image modes in the same image mode list.

[0105] For example, when the source information of the target source being played by the display device 200 is of Dolby type, after receiving the image mode display instruction input by the user, the display device 200 can obtain the Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Vision Dark, Dolby Vision Custom and other modes corresponding to the Dolby type source, and display these modes in the image mode list. Figure 8 , Figure 8 Schematic diagram of a list of image modes corresponding to Dolby type film sources according to some embodiments.

[0106] When the source information of the target source being played by the display device 200 is of the HDR 10+ type, the display device 200 can obtain modes such as HDR 10+ Vivid, HDR 10+ Standard, and HDR10+ Theater after receiving the image mode display instruction input by the user, and display these modes in the image mode list. Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of an image mode list corresponding to an HDR 10+ type film source according to some embodiments.
