[0083] Figure 4 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an architecture configuration of an operating system in a memory of a display device 200 according to some embodiments. Figure 4 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 Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (referred to as "system runtime library layer"), and the kernel layer.

[0084] In some embodiments, at least one application is running in the application layer, and these applications can be window programs, system settings programs, clock programs, etc. provided by the operating system, or applications developed by third-party developers. In specific implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples.

[0085] 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.

[0090] Figure 5A A schematic diagram showing a landscape state of the display device in FIG. 1 according to some embodiments; Figure 5B FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a home page when the display device is in a landscape state according to some embodiments. Figure 5A and Figure 5B , the operation mode when the display is in the horizontal state can be the horizontal media viewing mode, and the operation mode when the display is in the vertical state can be the vertical media viewing mode. Figure 5A In the display device 200, the controller 250 ( Figure 5AThe display device 200 (not shown) is further connected to the server 300 for communication and calling the interface of the server 300 to obtain corresponding data. The display 275 in the display device 200 can be fixed and rotated by the self-check 276, and the control component can rotate the plane where the display screen is located and is used to display the user interface.

[0091] In one implementation, the display device 200 includes a rotating assembly 276, which can fix the display device 200 and control the display 275 to rotate under the control of the controller 250 so that the display 275 is in a horizontal state or a vertical state. The horizontal state refers to a state in which the length of the display 275 in the horizontal direction is greater than the length in the vertical direction when viewed from the front of the display 275, and the vertical state refers to a state in which the length of the display 275 in the horizontal direction is less than the length in the vertical direction when viewed from the front of the display 275.

[0092] In one implementation, when the display device is started, it is detected that the current display is in landscape mode, and a request is made to call the interface of the server 300, and a request for obtaining landscape homepage data is sent to the server 300. The server 300 responds to the acquisition request and sends the landscape homepage data to the controller 250. The controller 250 identifies the landscape homepage data and controls the display 275 to display the landscape homepage according to the landscape homepage data. In some embodiments, the display effect of the landscape homepage can be as follows: Figure 5B shown.

[0093] In one implementation, when the display 275 is in the portrait state, in response to the operation instruction, the rotating component is controlled to rotate so that the display 275 is converted from the current portrait state to the landscape state, and a request is made to call the interface of the server 300, and a request for obtaining the landscape homepage data is sent to the server 300. The server 300 responds to the acquisition request and sends the landscape homepage data to the controller 250. The controller 250 identifies the landscape homepage data and controls the display 275 to display the landscape homepage according to the landscape homepage data.

[0094] For example, when a user enters the vertical screen media viewing mode and browses a short video through the vertical screen homepage, the user wants to end the viewing of the short video and wants to watch a TV series. At this time, the user can send an operation instruction to trigger rotation to the controller 250. The controller 250 controls the display 275 to rotate and controls the display 275 to display the horizontal screen homepage. The user displays or searches for the TV series he wants to watch on the horizontal screen homepage.

[0095] In one implementation, after the display device is started, it is detected that the display is in a vertical screen state, and a request is made to call the interface of the server 300, and a request for obtaining vertical screen homepage data is sent to the server 300. The server 300 responds to the data request and sends the vertical screen homepage data to the controller 250. The controller 250 controls the display 275 to display the vertical screen homepage according to the received vertical screen homepage data.

[0096] In one implementation, when the display 275 is in the landscape state, in response to an operation instruction, the display 275 is rotated by the rotating component to convert the current landscape state to the portrait state, and a request is made to call the interface of the server 300, and a request for obtaining the portrait homepage data is sent to the server 300. The server 300 responds to the data request and sends the portrait homepage data to the controller 250. The controller 250 controls the display 275 to display the portrait homepage according to the received portrait homepage data.

[0097] It should be noted that the horizontal screen homepage and the vertical screen homepage are different. In some embodiments, the horizontal screen homepage is mainly used to display horizontal media such as TV series and movies, and the vertical screen homepage is mainly used to display vertical media such as short videos and comics.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the controller 250 can also detect the current rotation state of the display 275, that is, detect whether the current display 275 is in a horizontal or vertical state.

[0099] Usually, users watch horizontal screen media for a long time, so here we will take the initial state of the display 275 being the horizontal screen state as an example. After the display device is turned on, the controller 250 detects the current state of the display 275, that is, determines whether the current state of the display 275 is the horizontal screen state. In response to the display 275 being in the horizontal screen state, the controller 250 calls the interface of the server 300 and sends a request to obtain the horizontal screen homepage data to the server 300. The server 300 sends the horizontal screen homepage data, the controller 250 identifies the horizontal screen homepage data, and controls the display 275 to display the horizontal screen homepage.

[0100] Similarly, if the controller 250 determines that the current state of the display 275 is the portrait state, then in response to the display 275 being in the portrait state, the controller 250 requests to call the interface of the server 300 and sends a request to obtain the portrait homepage data to the server 300. The server 300 sends the portrait homepage data, and the controller 250 controls the display 275 to display the landscape homepage.

[0101] In some embodiments, the operation that triggers the acquisition of the horizontal screen homepage and the vertical screen homepage can also be the user's input operation of returning to the homepage. At this time, the display device processes it in the same way as the TV is started, and it will not be repeated again.

[0102] For example, the horizontal screen home page data obtained may be home page navigation data. Figure 5A and Figure 5B The status bar (Top bar) 201 may be provided with weather and time information, and the channel bar (Tab bar) 202 includes various viewing channels, such as: My, Featured, TV series, and Movies, etc., and the current focus in the figure is the Movie channel. The homepage navigation data may include the various channels in the channel bar 202 and the media data under the current focus channel. In the horizontal screen media viewing mode, the display device 200 displays the channel bar 202 and the media data under the current focus channel, such as the current page under the Movie channel.

[0103] Here, in order to optimize the above technical solution, the display device 200 pre-stores a vertical screen navigation ID (identity document). In the data sent by the server 300, the vertical screen navigation ID can be regarded as a special navigation type, and the vertical screen navigation ID is a unique identifier of the vertical screen homepage. For example, the data arranged for the vertical screen homepage may be different for different display devices, different models or different regions, and each type of data arranged for the vertical screen homepage will have a unique identifier, namely the vertical screen navigation ID. In other words, for different display devices in different regions, the corresponding vertical screen navigation ID is different.

[0104] In one implementation, after the server 300 receives the horizontal screen home page data request sent by the controller 250, in addition to feeding back the corresponding horizontal screen home page data to the controller, the vertical screen navigation ID of the vertical screen home page can also be sent to the controller 250 as a special navigation data type. After controlling the display 275 to normally display the horizontal screen home page navigation data, the controller 250 caches the received vertical screen navigation ID locally, and when it is necessary to switch to the vertical screen media viewing mode later, it can be directly used, avoiding the controller 250 specifically obtaining the vertical screen navigation ID from the server 300, thereby improving the subsequent conversion efficiency of the vertical screen media viewing mode.

[0105] Of course, the controller 250 can also request to call the interface of the server 300 separately and send a request to obtain the vertical screen navigation ID. The server 300 responds to the request and sends the vertical screen navigation ID to the controller 250. The controller 250 caches the vertical screen navigation ID received locally.

[0106] In some embodiments, the display device also stores a horizontal screen navigation ID for requesting a horizontal screen homepage. The horizontal screen navigation ID and the vertical screen navigation ID are used in a similar manner and will not be described in detail here.

[0107] The above is an explanation of how the display device 200 normally enters the horizontal screen media viewing mode after being started. When the user needs to enter the vertical screen media viewing mode, the display device 200 needs to be rotated by the rotation component.

[0108] In some embodiments, in order to improve the use function of the display device, a speaker mode can be configured for the display device. The speaker mode is a mode after the screen is turned off. Unlike the normal mode, the TV screen is turned off, but the host is still running. In this speaker mode, the screen can be turned on and off quickly, which improves the user experience.

[0109] In some embodiments, the speaker mode is usually configured in the Flow layer of the system. If a problem occurs in the speaker mode, the entire device needs to be upgraded, which is very inconvenient. To this end, the speaker mode configured in the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention concentrates the main business of the speaker mode in the application layer. If a problem occurs, the application can be upgraded automatically without upgrading the entire device, which is more convenient and efficient.

[0110] Speaker mode means that after the display device is turned off, the controller of the display device is still in operation, so that the display device can still respond to control commands normally and still have voice functions. The display device in speaker mode is used as a smart speaker. Users can enjoy most of the services in ordinary TV mode (except watching videos) in speaker mode, such as services related to voice functions. Display devices entering speaker mode can save power, prevent children from watching TV for a long time and affect their eyesight, and improve user experience.

[0111] In some embodiments, the speaker mode adopted by the display device provided by the embodiment of the present invention has an overall usage process as follows: the user triggers the condition for entering the speaker mode (screen off). Load the transition animation to determine whether the current business scene is a non-interruption scene; if the current business scene is a non-interruption scene, the music will not stop playing (currently non-interruption scenes include QQ Music, Media Center, Hi Music, and music projection applications); if the current business scene is an interruption scene (such as the current scene is the video playback page under JUUI), it is necessary to send a transition broadcast to mute the system sound. Send a broadcast to enter the speaker mode, and other applications cannot make sound when the screen is off (notification center, etc.), and shield buttons (such as settings buttons, data interface buttons). In speaker mode, users can interact with the display device through voice. When other applications need to use the display, exit the speaker mode and turn on the display.

[0112] Figure 6 1 shows an overall architecture diagram of the speaker mode according to some embodiments. Figure 6Among the whole machine applications configured in the display device, the applications that can trigger the display device to enter the speaker mode include but are not limited to: DMP (media center), Hi music, video call, Power button (power button) and voice, etc. In the speaker mode, the shutdown selection interface, long animation, media asset framework, lighting effects and voice skills, etc. can be provided. Among them, the shutdown selection interface depends on the whole machine properties to determine whether the interface needs to be displayed and the options that need to be displayed in the interface.

[0113] When any of the above applications is triggered, the system driver layer can control the Flow lighting effect / screen off / screen on / shutdown interface encapsulation layer. When the shutdown selection interface is presented on the display, the shutdown selection interface displays options such as screen off, shutdown, and restart. The user can trigger one of the options through the remote control to make the display device perform the corresponding function. When it is necessary to display a transition animation, the local display device sends a transition animation and media resource request to the cloud server, and the cloud server returns the corresponding data, including the transition animation and broadcast audio materials, for display on the display.

[0114] When controlling the display device to enter the speaker mode by voice, the user inputs a voice command, such as "enter the speaker mode". At this time, the display device responds to the voice command and displays the transition animation on the display. The transition animation is a picture displayed randomly, and the picture displayed each time is different. During the display of the transition animation, a voice broadcast will also be made. The content of the voice broadcast is related to how to use voice commands in the speaker mode, such as the voice broadcast content "The screen is about to turn off, you can wake me up by the method shown in the picture."

[0115] The cutscene animation has a display time limit. When the cutscene animation starts, the countdown is displayed synchronously. The countdown can be set to 5 seconds, which can be determined according to the content of the broadcast. It supports background operation and operates each series of machines separately to improve the user experience. In addition, the broadcast sound supports voiceprints. Users can customize the broadcast sound in Settings->AI->Voice Broadcast Sound. For example, the broadcast sound can be male Mandarin, female Mandarin, female Cantonese, female Sichuan dialect, male Hunan dialect, etc.

[0116] Figure 7 A flow chart showing a display device entering a speaker mode according to some embodiments is shown; Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the effect of presenting a screen-off option on a shutdown selection interface according to some embodiments. Figure 7The main ways to enter the speaker mode (screen off) are the Power button, voice, speaker screen saver, Hi Music / DMP screen off, etc. When controlling the display device to enter the speaker mode, you need to enable the standby selection option in the system settings in advance, such as the "screen off" option. When the user triggers the Power button, the shutdown selection interface is started. At this time, the shutdown selection interface displays options such as "screen off", "power off", "restart", and "art gallery". See Figure 8 , the user can select the "off screen" option through the remote control to put the display device into speaker mode.

[0117] When entering the speaker mode, the display device determines whether the current business scene is a business non-interruption scene. If not, for example, if the current scene is the homepage or the TV is playing a video, the current business needs to be interrupted by transitioning. At the same time, the transition animation page is started, the countdown begins, and a voice broadcast is performed. When it is necessary to enter the speaker mode, the screen off interface is called to turn off the screen. Business non-interruption scenes usually refer to music playback scenes, and other scenes can be business interruption scenes.

[0118] When the user uses voice / speaker screen saver to make the display device enter speaker mode, the above steps are not relied on, and the display device can be directly put into speaker mode by voice. If the user controls the display device to enter speaker mode by Hi Music or DMP screen off, since Hi Music turns off the screen to listen to music and the media center (DMP) turns off the screen to listen to music, the current business is not interrupted, so the screen can be directly turned off.

[0119] After the display device turns off the screen, you can set the screen-off property synchronously, that is, set the system property value to 1, indicating that it has entered the speaker mode; set the system property value to 0, which means that it has not entered the speaker mode and is in the screen-on state. When judging whether a transition is needed, it depends on the current business scenario. If the current business scenario is a business-uninterrupting scenario, there is no need to transition and the screen is turned off directly; if the current business scenario is a business-interrupting scenario, a transition is required, and the screen is turned off after the transition is completed. The transition operation refers to the action of the application switching the data interface, such as cutting off the playing video.

[0120] In some embodiments, when the display device needs to exit the speaker mode, the application that triggers the exit of the speaker mode (screen opening) needs to send a screen opening broadcast.

[0121] Fig. 9 FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a display device exiting speaker mode according to some embodiments. Fig. 9, applications that trigger exiting speaker mode (screen opening) include but are not limited to infrared voice, back key, home key, power key; voice; push to light up the screen; one-touch play; video call, etc. After receiving the screen opening broadcast, the speaker mode application determines whether the current scene is a business non-interruption scene; if it is a business non-interruption scene, set the current mode to normal TV mode; if it is a business interruption scene, it is necessary to send a transition broadcast, pull up the network TV mode, and display the network TV homepage. Send a broadcast to notify each application that the speaker mode has been exited, call the screen opening interface, and control the display to open the screen.

[0122] In some embodiments, when the display device enters the speaker mode, the display is in the off state; and if the normal TV function of the display device is to be used again, the display device needs to exit the speaker mode and control the display to be in the on state. The difference between the display device entering the speaker mode and exiting the speaker mode is only that the on / off state of the display is different, and the other states are the same, for example, the host is always in the running state and can respond to control instructions normally.

[0123] Normally, if the display device has entered the speaker mode, at this time, the user connects other external devices through the HDMI interface of the display device, such as an external set-top box. In order to facilitate the display of the set-top box content on the display device in the speaker mode, the user needs to manually control the display device to exit the speaker mode, and then switch the data interface. The connection between the display device and the external device can be established before it can be used. Obviously, this operation process is cumbersome and affects the user experience.

[0124] Therefore, in order to realize the rapid start of the content of the external device by the display device, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, which is configured to execute a method for rapid start of playback in the speaker mode, so that when the display device is in the speaker mode, a one-touch playback service is configured for the display device, that is, when the display device is connected to an external device, the user does not need to manually exit the speaker mode of the display device, and the display device can automatically exit the speaker mode, switch the data interface, and directly start the external device, so as to display the content of the external device in a timely manner on the display. It can be seen that the process does not require user operation, the display device can be automatically executed, the process is relatively simple, and the user experience is good.

[0125] In some embodiments, a touch-and-play service is configured for a display device to enable rapid start of content playback. This service can be configured in a normal display device (used in landscape mode) or in a display device with a rotation function (used in landscape or portrait mode).

[0126] In some embodiments, the one-touch broadcast service is configured in a normal display device. When the display device in speaker mode is connected to an external device, the display device can automatically exit the speaker mode, light up the display, and automatically switch the data interface. The external device is directly started by switching the data interface, so that the content of the external device is displayed in the display in a timely manner.

[0127] In some embodiments, the one-touch broadcast service is configured in a display device with a rotation function. When a display device in speaker mode is connected to an external device, the display device can automatically exit the speaker mode, the display screen turns on, and the data interface is automatically switched to directly start the external device by switching the data interface. When the display display state required by the external device is inconsistent with the current display state of the display of the current display device, the display is automatically rotated to the display display state required by the external device, and the content of the external device is promptly displayed on the display after the display state is rotated.

[0128] Fig.10 A flowchart of a method for quickly starting playback in speaker mode according to some embodiments is shown. An embodiment of the present invention provides a display device that can be used in a normal display device (the display is in a horizontal screen state), the device comprising: a display configured to present a user interface; a controller connected to the display, Fig.10 When the method for quickly starting playback in the speaker mode is shown, the controller is configured to perform the following steps:

[0129] S11. In response to an access notification generated when an external device is connected, determine whether the display device is in a speaker mode, where the speaker mode refers to a mode in which a controller of the display device is in an operating state and a display is in an off-screen state.

[0130] The display device is equipped with multiple HDMI interfaces, which are used to connect the display device to other external devices so that the content provided by the external devices can be displayed on the display. The external devices include but are not limited to set-top boxes, game consoles, etc.

[0131] Since the display of the display device is in the off state when entering the speaker mode, if a notification that the display needs to be called is generated at this time, the display needs to be controlled to be turned on so that the content of the called display can be displayed on the display. When the display device is operating normally, the display is in the on state. If a notification that the display needs to be called is generated at this time, the content of the called display can be directly displayed on the display.

[0132] Therefore, after any external device is connected to the display device through the HDMI interface, the one-touch broadcast service is triggered. At this time, an access notification is generated, which can indicate the current content that needs to be called to display on the display. The display device responds to the access notification to determine whether the display device is in the speaker mode, that is, to determine whether the current use state of the display is the screen-on state or the screen-off state, so as to execute the corresponding one-touch broadcast service.

[0133] After the access notification is generated, in order to accurately determine whether the content of the external device can be directly and timely displayed on the display, it is necessary to first determine whether the local end is in the speaker mode. To this end, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps when determining whether the display device is in the speaker mode:

[0134] Step 111: Obtain the system property value of the display device.

[0135] Step 112: If the system property value is 1, it is determined that the display device is in speaker mode.

[0136] Step 113: If the system property value is 0, it is determined that the display device is not in speaker mode.

[0137] Based on the content of the above embodiment, whether the local end is in the speaker mode can be determined by obtaining the local end system property value (sys.tvbox.state). If the local end system property value sys.tvbox.state is 1, it is determined that the local end is in the speaker mode. If the local end system property value sys.tvbox.state is 0, it is determined that the local end is not in the speaker mode.

[0138] S12. If the display device is in speaker mode, obtain the target physical channel to which the external device is connected, switch the data interface to the target physical channel, and control the display to turn on the screen, so that the display device exits the speaker mode and displays the content of the external device on the display through the target physical channel.

[0139] When the display device enters the speaker mode and connects to an external device through the HDMI interface, in order to facilitate the display of the content of the external device, it is necessary to switch the data interface of the display device to the connection interface of the external device. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the insertion status information of the external device. The insertion status information includes which physical channel the external device connected to the display device is located, such as HDMI1, HDMI2, etc.

[0140] When the display device enters the speaker mode, the target physical channel to which the external device is connected is determined. Since the data interface of the display device is located at the internal interface when it is operating normally, in order to display the content provided by the external device, it is necessary to transition the data interface source to the target physical channel where the external device is located.

[0141] For example, if the target physical channel to which the external device is connected is HDMI1 of the display device, the data interface of the display device is switched to HDMI1.

[0142] After the data interface of the display device is switched to the target physical channel through the transition and the switch is successful, a display screen opening notification is generated to control the display screen to open. At this time, the display device exits the speaker mode. Since the display of the display device is in the off-screen state when it is in the speaker mode, when the display device exits the speaker mode, the display usage state is switched from the off-screen state to the on-screen state. When the display screen is on, the content of the external device can be displayed on the display through the target physical channel.

[0143] It should be noted that when connecting an external device, the data interface of the display device must be switched first, and after the switch is successful, the display screen can be turned on. This is to prevent the screen from flickering after the display is turned on if the data interface has not been switched successfully, which will cause a poor user experience. Therefore, after the data interface is switched, the screen can be turned on, and the display can directly display the content output by the switched data interface, without flickering, and providing a good user experience.

[0144] Fig.11 FIG. 4 shows a scene diagram of fast start of playback in speaker mode according to some embodiments. Fig.11 , the display of the display device is in landscape mode, and when the display device is in speaker mode, the display is in off-screen mode. When the display device is connected to an external device such as a set-top box, the one-touch broadcast service is triggered, and the data interface of the display device is switched to the target physical channel (such as HDMI1). After the switch is successful, the screen is turned on again. At this time, the display is in on-screen mode, the display device exits speaker mode, and synchronously displays the content provided by the set-top box.

[0145] In some embodiments, when the display device enters the speaker mode, it is necessary to determine whether a service interruption scenario needs to be executed based on the current service scenario of the display device. If service interruption needs to be executed, a transition needs to be executed and the data interface needs to be switched to suspend the current service. If service interruption is not required, no transition is required, no data interface needs to be switched, and the current service does not need to be suspended. Then, when the display device exits the speaker mode, before the display turns on the screen, it is also necessary to determine whether a transition is required based on the service scenario of the display device, or whether only the screen opening process needs to be executed.

[0146] To this end, in this process, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps when controlling the display to turn on the screen:

[0147] Step 121: Receive a notification that the data interface has completed switching, and obtain a service scenario when the display device enters the speaker mode.

[0148] Step 122: If the business scenario is a business non-interruption scenario, control the display to turn on the screen.

[0149] When an external device is connected to a display device in speaker mode, the data interface needs to be switched first, and the screen opening operation can be performed after the switching is successful. Therefore, when the display device completes the data interface switching, a notification of the completion of the data interface switching will be generated synchronously.

[0150] After receiving the notification, the service scenario when the display device enters the speaker mode is obtained. If the service scenario is a service-uninterrupted scenario, it means that when entering the speaker mode, the display device did not perform a transition, did not switch the data interface, and the service was not suspended. Therefore, when exiting the speaker mode, the display device does not need to perform a transition, does not need to switch the data interface, and the service is always running.

[0151] When the business scenario is determined to be a business non-interruption scenario, only the screen needs to be turned on without switching the data interface. Therefore, the screen-on interface can be called to switch the display's usage state from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, and the system property value sys.tvbox.state in the speaker mode is set to 0, and the display device exits the speaker mode.

[0152] In some embodiments, when an external device is connected, the display device does not enter the speaker mode, and the display device is in normal use. Therefore, when an external device is connected, the content of the external device can be directly displayed on the display.

[0153] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to: if the display device is not in speaker mode, obtain the target physical channel to which the external device is connected, switch the data interface to the target physical channel, and display the content of the external device on the display through the target physical channel.

[0154] When the display device is connected to an external device, it is determined whether the display device is in speaker mode. When the display device is not in speaker mode, the display is in an open screen state and the display device operates normally. At this time, the data interface can be directly switched, that is, the data interface of the display device can be switched to the target physical channel where the external device is located through transition. After completing the data interface switching, the content of the external device can be directly displayed on the display through the target physical channel.

[0155] It can be seen that an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, in which the display device is in a horizontal screen state, and a touch-to-play service is configured for the display device. When an external device is connected, the touch-to-play service is triggered to determine whether the display device is in speaker mode. When in speaker mode, first switch the data interface to the target physical channel where the external device is located to directly start the external device; when the switch is completed, notify the display to turn on the screen, and the display device automatically exits the speaker mode to display the content provided by the external device on the display in the turned-on state, thereby realizing the rapid start of the content of the external device. This process does not require user operation, and the display device can execute automatically. The process is relatively simple and the user experience is good.

[0156] In some embodiments, when executing the fast start of display content, in addition to being applied to the display device provided in the aforementioned embodiments, it can also be applied to a display device with a rotation function. When executing the method of fast start in speaker mode, the difference between the two is that when it is detected that the display device is connected to an external device, it is also necessary to detect whether the current display state of the display is consistent with the target display state required by the external device. If it is inconsistent, the display rotation process needs to be executed.

[0157] Fig.12 Another flowchart of a method for quickly starting playback in speaker mode according to some embodiments is shown. An embodiment of the present invention provides a display device that can be used in a display device with a rotation function (the display is in a horizontal or vertical state), the device comprising: a display configured to present a user interface; a rotation component, the rotation component is used to rotate the display so that the display state of the display is in a horizontal or vertical state; a controller connected to the display and the rotation component respectively, when executing Fig.12 When the method for quickly starting playback in the speaker mode is shown, the controller is configured to perform the following steps:

[0158] S21. When the display device is in speaker mode, in response to an access notification generated when an external device is connected, the data interface is switched to the physical channel where the external device is located, and the display is controlled to turn on the screen, and the display device exits the speaker mode. The speaker mode refers to a mode in which the controller of the display device is in operation and the display is in an off state.

[0159] The display device is equipped with multiple data interfaces, including an HDMI interface, which is used to connect the display device to other external devices so that the content provided by the external devices can be displayed on the display. The external devices include but are not limited to set-top boxes, game consoles, etc.

[0160] Since the display of the display device is in the off state when entering the speaker mode, if a notification that the display needs to be called is generated at this time, the display needs to be controlled to be turned on so that the content of the called display can be displayed on the display. When the display device is operating normally, the display is in the on state. If a notification that the display needs to be called is generated at this time, the content of the called display can be directly displayed on the display.

[0161] Therefore, after the display device is connected to an external device and triggers the touch-and-play service, it is necessary to first determine whether the display device is in speaker mode, that is, to determine whether the current usage status of the display is on or off, in order to execute the corresponding touch-and-play service.

[0162] After the access notification is generated, in order to accurately determine whether the content of the external device can be directly and timely displayed on the display, it is necessary to first determine whether the local end is in the speaker mode. To this end, the controller is further configured to determine whether the display device is in the speaker mode as follows:

[0163] Step 2111: Obtain the system property value of the display device.

[0164] Step 2112: If the system property value is 1, it is determined that the display device is in speaker mode.

[0165] Step 2113: If the system property value is 0, it is determined that the display device is not in speaker mode.

[0166] In the process of determining whether the display device is in the speaker mode, the contents of steps 111 to 113 provided in the aforementioned embodiment may be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0167] After any external device is connected to the display device through the HDMI interface, an access notification is generated, which can represent the current content that needs to be called to display on the display. When an external device is connected through the HDMI interface, in order to facilitate the content display of the external device, it is necessary to switch the data interface of the display device to the connection interface of the external device. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the insertion status information of the external device. The insertion status information includes which physical channel the external device connected to the display device is located, such as HDMI1, HDMI2, etc.

[0168] Therefore, when the display device is in speaker mode, the display device responds to the access notification and determines the target physical channel for the external device to access. Since the data interface of the display device is located at the internal interface when it is operating normally, in order to display the content provided by the external device, it is necessary to switch the data interface to the target physical channel where the external device is located through transition.

[0169] After the data interface of the display device is switched to the target physical channel through the transition and the switch is successful, a display screen opening notification is generated to control the display screen to switch the display usage state from the off state to the on state. At this time, the display device exits the speaker mode, the display screen turns on, and the content of the external device can be displayed on the display through the target physical channel.

[0170] It should be noted that when connecting an external device, the data interface of the display device must be switched first, and after the switch is successful, the display screen can be turned on. This is to prevent the screen from flickering after the display is turned on if the data interface has not been switched successfully, which will cause a poor user experience. Therefore, after the data interface is switched, the screen can be turned on, and the display can directly display the content output by the switched data interface, without flickering, and providing a good user experience.

[0171] In some embodiments, when the display device enters the speaker mode, it is necessary to determine whether a service interruption scenario needs to be executed based on the current service scenario of the display device. If service interruption needs to be executed, a transition needs to be executed and the data interface needs to be switched to suspend the current service. If service interruption is not required, no transition is required, no data interface needs to be switched, and the current service does not need to be suspended. Then, when the display device exits the speaker mode, before the display turns on the screen, it is also necessary to determine whether a transition is required based on the service scenario of the display device, or whether only the screen opening process needs to be executed.

[0172] To this end, in this process, the controller is further configured to:

[0173] Step 2121: Receive a notification that the data interface has completed switching, and obtain a business scenario when the display device enters the speaker mode.

[0174] Step 2122: If the business scenario is a business non-interruption scenario, control the display to turn on the screen.

[0175] In the process of switching the display's usage status to the open screen status, reference may be made to the contents of steps 121 to 122 provided in the aforementioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0176] S22: If the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device, control the rotation component to rotate the display to the target display state, and present the content of the external device on the display after the display state is rotated.

[0177] After the display device performs the screen opening operation, the display will not immediately display the content of the external device on the display, but it needs to determine whether the current display state of the display can support the display of the content provided by the external device.

[0178] In some embodiments, when the display device switches the data interface, the content provided by the external device can be displayed after the data interface switching is completed. However, in a display device with a rotation function, the display state required by the content of the external device may be inconsistent with the current display state of the display, for example, the display of the content of the external device requires the display to be in a horizontal state, while the actual display is in a vertical state.

[0179] In this case, normal content display cannot be achieved, or when the content of the external device is displayed on the display in the vertical screen state, the content is tilted, which is not convenient for users to view. Therefore, in order to display the content of the external device normally, it is necessary to determine whether the current display state of the display is consistent with the target display state required by the external device.

[0180] When controlling the display to open the screen, if it is determined that the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device, it means that the display state of the display needs to be switched, that is, the rotating component is controlled to rotate the display to the target display state. At this time, the content displayed by the rotated display is in a normal state, and the content of the external device is presented in the display after the display state is rotated. The user can view the content in the display at a normal visual angle, and the user experience is good.

[0181] In some embodiments, when the display needs to be rotated, when the display state of the display rotates to the target display state, a content display notification is generated. In response to the content display notification, the display device activates the external device to display the content of the external device on the rotated display.

[0182] In some embodiments, situations where the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device include: when the external device displays content, the display is required to be in a horizontal state, but the actual display is in a vertical state; and when the external device displays content, the display is required to be in a vertical state, but the actual display is in a horizontal state.

[0183] Therefore, when the controller executes the step of controlling the rotating component to rotate the current display state of the display to the target display state if the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device, the controller is further configured as follows:

[0184] Step 221: If the current display state of the display is the portrait state, and the target display state required by the external device is the landscape state, a display rotation notification is generated.

[0185] Step 222: In response to the display rotation notification, control the rotation component to rotate the display state from the portrait state to the landscape state.

[0186] In a scenario where the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device and the display needs to be rotated, if the content of the external device requires the display to be in landscape mode, but the actual display is in portrait mode, the display needs to be rotated, thus generating a display rotation notification.

[0187] In response to the display rotation notification, the display device sends a control instruction to the rotation component, so that the rotation component triggers the rotation of the display, so that the display state of the display rotates from the current portrait state to the landscape state. The rotation direction of the display can be counterclockwise or clockwise, which is not specifically limited here.

[0188] After rotation, the display is in landscape mode. At this time, the data interface of the display device has already been switched. Therefore, the content of the external device can be displayed on the display in landscape mode, and the user can directly view the content.

[0189] Fig.13 A scene diagram showing a rotating display in speaker mode according to some embodiments is shown. Fig.13 As shown in (1), the display of the display device is in the portrait mode. When the display device is in the speaker mode, the display is in the off state. When the display device is connected to an external device such as a set-top box, the one-touch broadcast service is triggered, and the data interface of the display device is switched to the target physical channel (such as HDMI1). After the switch is successful, the screen is turned on again. At this time, the display is in the on state, and the display device exits the speaker mode.

[0190] Before displaying the contents of the set-top box on the display, if the display needs to be in landscape mode when displaying the contents of the set-top box, the display needs to be rotated. At this time, call the rotation component to control the display to rotate its display state from portrait mode to landscape mode. Fig.13 As shown in (2), the display is in the state of rotating. At this time, the data interface of the display device is switched and the display is in the open screen state.

[0191] See also Fig.13 As shown in (3), after the display has completed its rotation, the current display state (horizontal screen state) of the display is consistent with the target display state (horizontal screen state) required by the set-top box. The content of the set-top box can be displayed on the display in the horizontal screen state through the HDMI1 interface, and the user can directly watch the content provided by the set-top box.

[0192] In some embodiments, when the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device and the display needs to be rotated, if the content of the external device requires the display to be in portrait mode, but the actual display is in landscape mode, then the display needs to be rotated, and thus a display rotation notification is generated.

[0193] The display device responds to the display rotation notification and sends a control instruction to the rotation component, so that the rotation component triggers the rotation of the display, so that the display state of the display is rotated from the current horizontal screen state to the vertical screen state.

[0194] After rotation, the display is in portrait mode. At this time, the data interface of the display device has already been switched. Therefore, the content of the external device can be displayed on the display in portrait mode, and the user can directly view the content.

[0195] Fig.14 Another scenario diagram of rotating the display in speaker mode according to some embodiments is shown. Fig.14 As shown in (1), the display of the display device is in the horizontal screen state. When the display device is in the speaker mode, the display is in the off screen state. When the display device is connected to an external device such as a gaming device, the one-touch play service is triggered, and the data interface of the display device is switched to the target physical channel (such as HDMI1). After the switch is successful, the screen is turned on again. At this time, the display is in the on screen state, and the display device exits the speaker mode.

[0196] Before displaying the content of the game device on the display, it is determined that the display needs to be in a vertical state when displaying the content of the game device, and the display needs to be rotated. At this time, the rotation component is called to control the display to rotate its display state from a horizontal state to a vertical state. Fig.14 As shown in (2), the display is in the state of rotating. At this time, the data interface of the display device is switched and the display is in the open screen state.

[0197] See also Fig.14 As shown in (3), after the display completes the rotation, the current display state (portrait state) of the display is consistent with the target display state (portrait state) required by the gaming device, and the content of the gaming device can be displayed on the display in the portrait state through the HDMI1 interface, and the user can directly watch the content provided by the gaming device, such as the game interface.

[0198] In some embodiments, the rotation process of the display takes about 10 seconds. Since the display is controlled to turn on during the rotation process, at this time, since the content of the external device has not yet been displayed in the display, it is very easy to cause a screen flicker phenomenon. Therefore, in order to prevent the screen flicker phenomenon from being seen by the user, a transition animation interface can be displayed in the display when the display rotates to cover the display that is not currently displaying any content.

[0199] To this end, when displaying the cutscene interface on the display when the display is rotated, the controller is further configured to:

[0200] Step 23: When the display is rotated to the target display state, media asset data is obtained.

[0201] Step 24: Generate a transition animation interface based on the media asset data, and display the transition animation interface on the display that is in the rotating process.

[0202] When the display needs to be controlled to rotate the display state, that is, when it rotates from the current display state to the target display state, media data can be obtained to display the transition animation interface. The media data can be the default data stored in the local cache or the real-time data stored in the server.

[0203] When obtaining media data, the display device can directly retrieve the corresponding media data from the local cache, or send a data request to the server to request the server to send the media data required for the current process. The media data can be a random background image, which is used to introduce the steps of how to use voice commands to operate the display device in speaker mode. The media data can also be an image in the form of a deep link. Clicking the image can directly access the details page of the content shown in the image.

[0204] After the media data is obtained, the transition animation interface can be generated. At the initial moment when the rotation component is called to control the display to start rotating, the transition animation interface is displayed on the display in the rotating process to prevent the screen flashing phenomenon generated during the display rotation from being seen by the user.

[0205] The display effect diagram of the cutscene interface can be referred to Fig.13 Zhong (2) and Fig.14The content shown in (2). When the display device in speaker mode is connected to an external device, the touch-to-play service is triggered, and the data interface of the display device is switched to the target physical channel (such as HDMI1). After the switch is successful, the display turns on. Before displaying the content of the external device on the display, if it is determined that the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device, the display needs to be rotated. At this time, the rotation component is called to control the display state of the display to rotate toward the target display state, and at the same time, the transition animation interface is displayed on the display. After the display completes the rotation, the display of the transition animation interface is canceled, and at the same time, the content of the external device is displayed on the rotated display through the target physical channel.

[0206] In some embodiments, the cutscene interface is only displayed during the display rotation process. Therefore, after the display is rotated to the target display state, the cutscene interface can be canceled, and the content of the external device can be displayed on the rotated display.

[0207] In some embodiments, when a display device in speaker mode is connected to an external device, it is necessary to determine whether the current display state of the display is consistent with the target display state required by the external device. If it is detected that the current display state of the display is consistent with the target display state required by the external device, at this time, there is no need to control the rotation of the display, and the external device can be directly started to display content.

[0208] Therefore, in this scenario, the controller is further configured to: if the current display state of the display is consistent with the target display state required by the external device, not control the rotating component to rotate the display state of the display, and display the content of the external device on the display.

[0209] The situations in which the current display state of the display is consistent with the target display state required by the external device include: the situation in which the display is required to be in a horizontal state when displaying content of the external device, and the actual display is also in a horizontal state; and the situation in which the display is required to be in a vertical state when displaying content of the external device, and the actual display is also in a vertical state.

[0210] At this time, there is no need to rotate the monitor. When the display device in speaker mode is connected to an external device, the touch-to-play service is triggered. After controlling the monitor to turn on the screen, the external device is directly started to display the content of the external device on the monitor.

[0211] Fig.15 Schematic diagram showing a scenario in which the display does not need to be rotated in speaker mode according to some embodiments. Fig.15As shown in (1), the display of the display device is in the portrait mode. When the display device is in the speaker mode, the display is in the off state. When the display device is connected to an external device such as a gaming device, the data interface of the display device is connected to the target physical channel (such as HDMI1). After the switch is successful, the screen is turned on again. At this time, the display is in the on state and the display device exits the speaker mode.

[0212] Before displaying the content of the gaming device on the display, it is determined that the display needs to be in a vertical position when displaying the content of the gaming device, and then the display does not need to be rotated. Fig.15 As shown in (2), the content of the gaming device can be directly displayed on the monitor in the vertical screen state through the HDMI1 interface, and the user can directly watch the content provided by the gaming device, such as the game interface. Since the monitor does not need to be rotated during this process, there is no need to display the cutscene animation interface on the monitor.

[0213] In some embodiments, if the display of the display device is in landscape mode, the display is in the off state when the display device is in the speaker mode. When the display device is connected to an external device such as a set-top box, the data interface of the display device is connected to the target physical channel (such as HDMI1), and the screen is turned on after the switch is successful. At this time, the display is in the on state, and the display device exits the speaker mode.

[0214] Before displaying the contents of the set-top box on the display, it is determined that the display needs to be in a horizontal state when displaying the contents of the set-top box. In this case, the display does not need to be rotated. For the effect diagram, see Fig.11 As shown, the contents of the set-top box can be directly displayed on the monitor in the horizontal screen state through the HDMI1 interface, and the user can directly watch the contents provided by the set-top box. Since the monitor does not need to be rotated in this process, there is no need to display the transition animation interface on the monitor.

[0215] It can be seen that an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, in which the display of the display device can be in a horizontal screen state or a vertical screen state, and a one-touch play service is configured for the display device with a rotation function. When the display device is in the speaker mode, if an external device is connected, the one-touch play service is triggered, and the data interface is first switched to the target physical channel where the external device is located to directly start the external device; when the switching is completed, the display is notified to turn on the screen, and the display device automatically exits the speaker mode. If it is detected that the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device, the rotation component is controlled to rotate the display to the target display state. After the rotation is completed, the content provided by the external device is displayed on the display after rotation and in the open screen state, so as to realize the rapid start of the content of the external device. This process does not require user operation, and the display device can be executed automatically. The process is relatively simple and the user experience is good.

[0216] Fig.10 A flow chart of a method for quickly starting playback in speaker mode according to some embodiments is shown. Fig.10 The present application also provides a method for quickly starting playback in speaker mode, which is executed by the controller in the display device provided in the above embodiment, and the method includes:

[0217] S11, in response to an access notification generated when an external device is connected, determining whether the display device is in a speaker mode, wherein the speaker mode refers to a mode in which a controller of the display device is in an operating state and a display is in an off-screen state;

[0218] S12. If the display device is in speaker mode, obtain the target physical channel to which the external device is connected, switch the data interface to the target physical channel, and control the display to turn on the screen. The display device exits the speaker mode and displays the content of the external device on the display through the target physical channel.

[0219] Fig.12 Another flow chart of a method for quickly starting playback in speaker mode according to some embodiments is shown. Fig.12 The present application also provides a method for quickly starting playback in speaker mode, which is executed by the controller in the display device provided in the above embodiment, and the method includes:

[0220] S21, when the display device is in the speaker mode, in response to an access notification generated when the external device is connected, switching the data interface to the physical channel where the external device is located, and controlling the display to turn on the screen, and the display device exits the speaker mode, wherein the speaker mode refers to a mode in which the controller of the display device is in an operating state and the display is in an off state;

[0221] S22: If the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device, control the rotating component to rotate the display to the target display state, and present the content of the external device on the display after the display state is rotated.

[0222] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the embodiment of the present invention provides a method and a display device for quickly starting broadcasting in speaker mode. When an external device is connected, it is determined whether the display device is in speaker mode. When in speaker mode, the data interface is first switched to the target physical channel where the external device is located to directly start the external device; when the switch is completed, the display is notified to turn on the screen, and the display device automatically exits the speaker mode to display the content provided by the external device in the display in the open screen state, so as to realize the rapid start of the content of the external device. In addition, when the display device in speaker mode is connected to an external device, if it is detected that the current display state of the display is inconsistent with the target display state required by the external device, the rotating component is controlled to rotate the display to the target display state. After the rotation is completed, the content provided by the external device is displayed in the display in the rotated and open screen state, so as to realize the rapid start of the content of the external device. It can be seen that the method and the display device can trigger a touch-to-play service when the display device in speaker mode is connected to an external device. The process does not require user operation, the display device can be automatically executed, the process is relatively simple, and the user experience is good.
