Display device and image mode setting method

Abstract

The invention provides a display device and an image mode setting method. The display device displays a first configuration page and registers a monitoring service in response to a starting operation series for starting and setting a target image mode by a user, and the monitoring service is used for monitoring switching of film source types. And the display device starts a setting process of the image mode in response to a setting operation series of the target image mode set by the user based on the first configuration page. The setting process comprises the steps of configuring a target image parameter corresponding to the target image mode, and switching the first image mode into the target image mode after the configuration of the target image parameter is completed. Before the display device completes the setting process of setting the target image mode, if the display device monitors that the film source type is switched through the monitoring service and the switched film source type does not support the target image mode, a prompt can be timely initiated to ensure the image quality effect of the played film source.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display devices, and in particular to a display device and a method for setting an image mode. Background Art

[0002] A display device refers to a terminal device capable of outputting a specific display image. These devices can include smart TVs, mobile terminals, smart advertising screens, projectors, and other terminal devices. Taking smart TVs as an example, they are based on Internet application technology, feature an open operating system and chip, and possess an open application platform. They enable two-way human-computer interaction and integrate multiple functions, including audio, video, entertainment, and data, to meet the diverse and personalized needs of users.

[0003] A display device can be configured with multiple image modes, each of which corresponds to a set of image parameters, also known as an image parameter group. Thus, when a display device uses an image mode, it actually uses the set of image parameters corresponding to that image mode to achieve the corresponding image quality effect.

[0004] Different video sources require specific image modes to achieve optimal image quality. In other words, different video sources support different image modes. Therefore, if the video source type currently being played on the display device doesn't support the currently applied image mode, the video quality will be affected. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a method for setting a display device and an image mode. Before the display device completes the process of setting the target image mode, if it detects that the source type has switched and the switched source type does not support the target image mode, a prompt can be initiated in time to ensure the picture quality of the played source.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a display device, comprising:

[0007] A display configured to: play a first film source in a first image mode, the first film source corresponding to a first film source type; a memory;

[0008] The controller is configured to: in response to a user initiating a series of startup operations for setting a target image mode, control the display to display a first configuration page, and register a monitoring service, wherein the first configuration page is used to customize the image mode supported by the first film source type, and the monitoring service is used to monitor the switching of the film source type; in response to a user setting a series of setting operations for setting the target image mode based on the first configuration page, start an image mode setting process, the setting process including configuring target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode, and after completing the configuration of the target image parameters, switching the first image mode to the target image mode; wherein before completing the setting process, if the first film source type is monitored to be switched to a second film source type through the monitoring service, obtain a second image mode supported by the second film source type; switch the first image mode to the second image mode, and, if the second film source type does not support the target image mode, control the display to display a prompt message, the prompt message being used to prompt that the second film source type does not support the target image mode.

[0009] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0010] Before completing the process of setting the target image mode, the display device can monitor whether the source type has switched through the monitoring service. If it is detected that the source type has switched and the switched source type does not support the target image mode, a prompt can be issued in time to ensure the image quality of the played source.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, if the second source type does not support the target image mode, the controller controls the display to display prompt information, and is specifically configured to:

[0012] The setting process is terminated, and the display is controlled to display the prompt information; the configured target image parameters are acquired; and the target image mode and the configured target image parameters are stored in the memory in correspondence.

[0013] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0014] Before completing the setup process, if the display device detects a switch in the source type, and the switched source type does not support the target image mode, it can terminate the setup process promptly. This prevents the user from wasting time on setting the target image mode if the target image mode cannot be applied promptly. Furthermore, the display device stores the configured target image parameters and can store the progress of setting the target image mode, making it easier for the user to subsequently set the target image mode based on this progress.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, if the second source type does not support the target image mode, the controller controls the display to display prompt information, and is specifically configured to:

[0016] Keep running the setting process, and after completing the configuration of the target image parameters, keep applying the second image mode and control the display to display the prompt information; obtain the target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode; and store the target image mode and the target image parameters in the memory accordingly.

[0017] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0018] Before completing the setup process, if the display device detects a source type switch that does not support the target image mode, the setup process can continue to run to ensure the continuity of the user's operation to set the target image mode. Furthermore, after completing the configuration of the target image parameters, the image mode will not be switched to ensure the image quality of the currently playing source. Furthermore, the display device can promptly indicate the reason why the target image mode cannot be applied by displaying a prompt message.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, the memory is configured to store available film source types, and the available film source types support a custom image mode;

[0020] The controller controls the display to display a first configuration page in response to a user initiating a series of startup operations for setting a target image mode, and is specifically configured to:

[0021] In response to the first operation in the startup operation series, the first film source type is obtained, wherein the first operation is used to indicate opening a first menu; the first film source type is compared with the available film source type, and based on the comparison result, the display is controlled to display the first menu; when the first menu includes a first menu item and the first menu item is in an available state, in response to the second operation in the startup operation series, the display is controlled to display the first configuration page, wherein the second operation is an operation performed by the user based on the first menu item, and the first menu item is an entrance to set the image mode; wherein, if the comparison result is that the first film source type belongs to the available film source type, the first menu includes the first menu item, and the first menu item is in an available state; if the comparison result is that the first film source type does not belong to the available film source type, the first menu does not include the first menu item, or the first menu includes the first menu item, and the first menu item is in an unavailable state.

[0022] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0023] When displaying the first menu, the display device dynamically displays the first menu item to ensure the validity of the corresponding operation of the user setting the target image mode.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first menu includes a first menu item and the first menu item is in an available state, the controller controls the display to display the first configuration page in response to the second operation in the series of startup operations, and is specifically configured to:

[0025] In response to the second operation, an event type corresponding to the second operation is obtained, the event types including adding an image mode and reconfiguring an existing customized image mode; according to the event type, the display is controlled to display a first preview page, the first preview page including a preview screen for displaying the picture quality effect of the first image mode; in response to user confirmation of starting the operation of setting the image mode, the display is controlled to display the first configuration page; wherein, if the event type is adding an image mode, the display is controlled to display the first preview page; if the event type is reconfiguring an existing customized image mode, the display is controlled to display a second preview page, and in response to user confirmation of the operation of reconfiguring the image mode, the display is controlled to display the first preview page, wherein the second preview page includes a preview screen for displaying the picture quality effect of a third image mode, and the third image mode is the existing customized image mode to be reconfigured.

[0026] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0027] The display device can set the target image mode by adding an image mode or reconfiguring an existing customized image mode, and based on the different methods of setting the target image mode, before entering the first configuration page, that is, before starting to set the target image mode, the corresponding preview page is displayed with different strategies, so as to display the picture quality effects corresponding to the image mode that will affect the user's customized needs through these preview pages, so as to improve the effectiveness of the user's setting of the target image mode.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the controller initiates an image mode setting process in response to a series of setting operations by a user to set the target image mode based on the first configuration page, and is specifically configured to:

[0029] In response to the third operation in the series of setting operations, the target image parameters indicated by the user are configured for the target image mode; in response to the fourth operation in the series of setting operations, the first image mode is switched to the target image mode, and the target image mode is stored in the memory; wherein, if the event type is the reconfiguration of an existing customized image mode, the controller also deletes the third image mode from the memory in response to the fourth operation.

[0030] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0031] After confirming the application of the target image mode, the display device can store the target image mode to record the target image mode as a usable custom image mode, which can ensure that the target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode have all been configured and the user's recognition of the target image mode.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the first configuration page includes at least one configuration item, each of the configuration items has at least one sub-configuration item, each of the configuration items corresponds to a preset image parameter group, each of the preset image parameter groups includes image parameters belonging to the same category, and different preset image parameter groups include image parameters belonging to different categories; each of the sub-configuration items corresponds to the preset image parameter group corresponding to the configuration item, and the sub-configuration items of the same configuration item have different values for at least one image parameter in the preset image parameter group;

[0033] The controller, in response to the third operation in the series of setting operations, configures the target image parameters indicated by the user for the target image mode, and is specifically configured to:

[0034] In response to the user selecting a target sub-configuration item from the sub-configuration items of each of the configuration items, image parameters in the preset image parameter group corresponding to each of the target sub-configuration items are obtained; and the image parameters in the preset image parameter group corresponding to each of the target sub-configuration items are configured for the target image mode.

[0035] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0036] By combining image parameters belonging to the same category into a preset image parameter group, the number of preset image parameter groups can be effectively controlled. Since each preset image parameter group corresponds to a configuration item, the number of configuration items can be effectively controlled. Thus, by setting the target image mode through each configuration item, the number of configuration items required can be effectively reduced, minimizing the number of user interactions.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the controller, in response to the third operation in the series of setting operations, configures the target image parameters indicated by the user for the target image mode, and is specifically configured to:

[0038] In response to the third operation, the screen status of the first configuration page is obtained; according to the screen status, the target image parameters are configured for the target image mode, and the display is controlled to display a target preview page; wherein, if the screen status is a full-screen status, after completing the configuration of the target image parameters, the display is controlled to display the target preview page, the target preview page includes a preset demonstration example for displaying the picture quality effect of the target image mode, and the media type of the preset demonstration example is consistent with the media type of the first film source; if the screen status is a non-full-screen status, in the process of configuring the target image parameters for the target image mode, each time the configuration of one target image parameter is completed, the display is controlled to update and display the target preview page, the target preview page including the picture of the first film source played using each of the configured target image parameters.

[0039] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0040] The display device can use different objects to display the preview effect of the target image mode based on the first configuration page in different screen states. Among them, for the first configuration page in full-screen state, the display device can use preset demonstration samples for display, and by using preset demonstration samples whose media type matches the first film source for display, it can ensure that the displayed image quality effect is closer to the actual effect of playing the first film source in the target image mode. For the first configuration page in non-full-screen state, the display device can directly display the picture of the first film source as a sample, and can display the image quality effect of the configured target image parameters in real time.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, after configuring the target image parameters for the target image mode according to the screen state and controlling the display to display the target preview page, the controller is further configured to:

[0042] In response to a comparison instruction input by the user, a recorded original image mode is obtained, wherein the original image mode is recorded when the display of the first preview page is detected, and the original image mode is an image mode corresponding to the image quality effect displayed in the first preview page; and a preview screen for displaying the image quality effect of the original image mode is displayed in the target preview page.

[0043] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0044] The display device can respond to the user's comparison instruction and re-display the image quality effect of applying the original image mode, so that the user can more quickly compare the image quality effects of using the original image mode and the target image mode, so that the user can set the target image mode more accurately.

[0045] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for setting an image mode, applied to a display device according to any one of the first aspects, wherein the display device plays a first film source in a first image mode, and the first film source corresponds to a first film source type;

[0046] The method includes: in response to a user initiating a series of startup operations for setting a target image mode, displaying a first configuration page, and registering a monitoring service, wherein the first configuration page is used to customize the image mode supported by the first film source type, and the monitoring service is used to monitor the switching of the film source type; in response to the user setting a series of setting operations for setting the target image mode based on the first configuration page, starting an image mode setting process, the setting process including configuring target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode, and after completing the configuration of the target image parameters, switching the first image mode to the target image mode; wherein before completing the setting process, if the monitoring service monitors that the first film source type is switched to the second film source type, obtaining the second image mode supported by the second film source type; switching the first image mode to the second image mode, and, if the second film source type does not support the target image mode, displaying a prompt message, the prompt message being used to prompt that the second film source type does not support the target image mode.

[0047] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0048] Before completing the process of setting the target image mode, the display device can monitor whether the source type has switched through the monitoring service. If it is detected that the source type has switched and the switched source type does not support the target image mode, a prompt can be issued in time to ensure the image quality of the played source.

[0077] The display device 200 may provide a broadcast receiving television function, and may also additionally provide an intelligent network television function with a computer support function, including but not limited to network television, smart TV, Internet Protocol television (IPTV), etc.

[0078] Figure 2 Some embodiments of this application provide Figure 1 2 is a block diagram of the hardware configuration of the display device 200.

[0079] In some embodiments, the display device 200 may include at least one of a tuner 210, a communication device 220, a detector 230, a device interface 240, a controller 250, a display 260, an audio output device 270, a user input interface 280, a memory, and a power supply.

[0080] In some embodiments, the communication device 220 is a component for communicating with an external device or server 400 according to various communication protocol types. The display device 200 can be provided with multiple communication devices 220 depending on the supported communication methods. The communication device 220 can enable the display device 200 to communicate with the external device or server 400 through wireless or wired connections.

[0081] In some embodiments, the detector 230 is used to collect signals from the external environment or from interactions with the external environment.

[0082] In some embodiments, the device interface 240 is used to access an external device.

[0083] In some embodiments, the controller 250 is used to control the overall operation of the display device 200. The controller 250 may include at least one of a central processing unit (CPU), a video processor, an audio processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), a power processor, and first to nth interfaces for input / output. The controller 250 controls the operation of the display device 200 and responds to user operations through various software control programs stored in the memory.

[0084] In some embodiments, the controller 250 and the tuner 210 may be located in different separate devices, that is, the tuner 210 may also be located in an external device of the main device where the controller 250 is located, such as an external set-top box.

[0085] In some embodiments, the display 260 is configured to receive and display image signals outputted from the controller 250. The display 260 may include a display functional component for presenting images and a driving component for driving image display.

[0086] In some embodiments, the user may input a user command through a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on the display 260 , and the user input interface 280 may receive the user command through the GUI.

[0087] In some embodiments, the audio output device 270 may be a local speaker of the display device 200 or an external audio output device of the display device 200 .

[0088] In some embodiments, the user input interface 280 may be configured to receive instructions from a user.

[0089] To facilitate user interaction, in some embodiments, the display device 200 may run an operating system. An operating system is a computer program used to manage and control the hardware and software resources of the display device 200. The operating system can control the display device to provide a user interface. For example, the operating system can directly control the display device to provide a user interface, or it can provide a user interface by running an application program. The operating system also allows the user to interact with the display device 200.

[0090] The operating system may be a native operating system based on a specific operating platform, or a third-party operating system deeply customized based on a specific operating platform, or an independent operating system specially developed for the display device 200 .

[0091] The operating system can be divided into different modules or layers according to the functions implemented, e.g. Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the system can be divided into four layers, from top to bottom, namely the application layer (referred to as "application layer"), the application framework layer (referred to as "framework layer"), the system runtime layer and the kernel layer.

[0092] In some embodiments, the application layer is used to provide services and interfaces for applications so that the display device 200 can run applications and interact with users based on the applications.

[0093] The framework layer provides applications with an application programming interface (API) and programming framework. The application framework layer includes predefined functions. The application framework layer acts as a processing center, determining the actions taken by applications in the application layer. Through the API, applications can access system resources and services during execution.

[0094] In some embodiments, the system runtime layer can provide support for the framework layer. When the framework layer is used, the operating system will run the instruction library contained in the system runtime layer, such as the C / C++ instruction library, to implement the functions to be implemented by the framework layer.

[0095] In some embodiments, the kernel layer is a functional layer between the hardware and software of the display device 200. The kernel layer can implement functions such as hardware abstraction, multitasking, and memory management.

[0096] It should be noted that the above example is only a simple division of the operating system functions and does not constitute a limitation on the specific operating system form of the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application. Depending on factors such as the function of the display device and the type of operating system, the number of levels and specific level types contained in the operating system may be expressed in other forms.

[0097] The display device 200 can be configured with multiple image modes, each of which corresponds to a set of image parameters, also referred to as an image parameter group. Thus, when the display device 200 uses an image mode, it actually uses the set of image parameters corresponding to that image mode to achieve the corresponding image quality. Thus, the user can adjust a set of image parameters at once by simply indicating the image mode to be applied.

[0098] The image modes pre-configured in the display device 200 may be referred to as basic image modes. In some embodiments, basic image modes may be categorized based on function, applicable scenarios, and the like. For example, based on applicable scenarios, basic image modes may include movie mode, sports mode, and game mode. The image quality corresponding to movie mode is suitable for playing movies, the image quality corresponding to sports mode is suitable for playing sports programs, and the image quality corresponding to game mode is suitable for playing games.

[0099] Image parameters are parameters related to image quality, such as brightness, resolution, clarity, contrast, color, etc.

[0100] In some embodiments, the image parameters may be classified according to categories that affect the image quality. For example, the categories may include brightness, color temperature, color, clarity, etc.

[0101] The video sources played by the display device 200 may correspond to different video source types. For example, the video source types may include Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), High Dynamic Range (HDR), HDR10+, Dolby Vision, etc.

[0102] Different video source types need to be played in a specific image mode to achieve optimal image quality. In other words, different video source types support different image modes. Based on this, if the video source type currently being played by the display device 200 does not support the currently used image mode, the video source's image quality will be affected.

[0103] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a display device 200. Before completing the setting process of setting the target image mode, if the display device 200 detects that the film source type has switched and the switched film source type does not support the target image mode, it can initiate a prompt in time to ensure the picture quality of the played film source.

[0104] When playing a first source corresponding to a first source type, the display device 200 automatically selects a first image mode to be applied, where the first image mode is an image mode supported by the first source type. The first image mode can be a basic image mode or a user-defined image mode.

[0105] Figure 4 The flowchart of a display device 200 playing a first source provided in an embodiment of the present application includes the following specific steps:

[0106] Step S401 : in response to an instruction to play a first film source, obtaining a first film source type corresponding to the first film source.

[0107] In some embodiments, the instruction to play the first source may be a power-on instruction, an instruction to play a specified signal source, an instruction to play a network program, etc.

[0108] The display device 200 can determine the corresponding source type by analyzing the received source signal.

[0109] Step S402: Acquire a first image mode supported by a first source type.

[0110] In some embodiments, the display device 200 may store a first correspondence between each source type and the supported image mode in a memory, wherein one source type may support one or more image modes, that is, one source type may have a first correspondence with at least one image mode.

[0111] In one implementation, the display device 200 may store and manage the first correspondence through a configuration file in a memory, and manage the first correspondence in the configuration file by writing and deleting, that is, managing the support relationship between the source type and the image mode.

[0112] The display device 200 can read the first correspondences from the configuration file and determine a first image mode having a first correspondence with the first source type.

[0113] Step S403: Switch the image mode to the first image mode to play the first film source in the first image mode.

[0114] In some cases, if the first image mode includes an image mode, the first source is played in the image mode.

[0115] In some cases, if the first image mode includes multiple image modes, the current film source is played in one of the multiple image modes. The one image mode can be a default image mode for the first film source type, an image mode used when the first film source was last played, a random image mode from the multiple image modes, or an image mode selected by the display device 200 based on current playback conditions (such as a playback environment, a network environment, etc.).

[0116] In some embodiments, the display device 200 applies a certain image mode (taking the first image mode as an example), or switches the image mode from a certain image mode to another image mode (taking the first image mode as an example), including: adjusting the corresponding image parameters of the system according to the image parameter group corresponding to the first image mode, so as to adjust the numerical value of the corresponding image parameter of the system to the same numerical value as the image parameter in the image parameter group.

[0117] Combine Figure 3 As shown in the operating system configuration diagram, a Settings application is configured in the application layer of the operating system, and the Settings application is used to support the function of user-defined image mode.

[0118] The embodiments of the present application all take the case of playing the first film source in the first image mode as an example to illustrate the process of setting the target image mode.

[0120] Step S510 : In response to the user initiating a series of startup operations for setting a target image mode, a first configuration page is displayed, and a monitoring service is registered.

[0121] The target image mode refers to an image mode customized by the user for the first source type.

[0122] The startup operation series includes multiple operations for controlling the display device 200 to open a first configuration page corresponding to the first source type.

[0123] The first configuration page can also be called a custom settings page, a custom image mode settings page, etc. The first configuration page is used to customize the image modes supported by the first source type. In other words, the first configuration page specifically supports the configuration of image modes supported by the first source type, and does not support the configuration of image modes that are not supported by the first source type.

[0124] In one example, the configurable image parameters provided by the first configuration page are all image parameters supported by the first source type.

[0125] Combine Figure 3 In response to starting the operating system, the display device 200 starts a settings application, and the settings application can provide a settings page (Settings Picture), which includes a first configuration page.

[0126] After determining that the target image setting mode can be started, the display device 200 registers the monitoring service.

[0127] In one implementation, after detecting that the first configuration page is displayed, the display device 200 may determine that the target image mode can be started and register a monitoring service.

[0128] In one example, the display device 200 may register a monitoring service when recognizing that the activity (Activity) at the top level is the activity of the first configuration page.

[0129] The monitoring service is used to monitor the switching of video source types.

[0130] Combine Figure 3 The operating system is also configured with a platform interface adaptation layer (AV Middleware), which can also be called a platform middleware layer. The platform middleware layer is configured with middleware for implementing various functions. In some embodiments, the platform interface adaptation layer can be configured with a monitoring signal middleware. The monitoring signal middleware can be used to call a monitoring service and report the monitoring results of the monitoring service to the settings application.

[0131] The kernel layer is configured with a dependency library that provides a MediaTek (MTK) interface. The MTK interface can be used to acquire source signals and identify whether the signal type of the currently acquired source signal has changed from the previous source signal, that is, whether a source type switch has occurred.

[0132] Figure 6 A timing diagram for setting a target image mode for the display device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0133] like Figure 6 As shown, in response to the user initiating a series of startup operations for setting a target image mode, the display device 200 opens a first configuration page by the setting application. After opening the first configuration page, the setting application registers a monitoring service through the monitoring signal middleware.

[0134] Step S520 : In response to the user performing a series of setting operations to set the target image mode based on the first configuration page, a setting process for the image mode is started.

[0135] The setting process includes configuring target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode, and after completing the configuration of the target image parameters, switching the first image mode to the target image mode.

[0136] like Figure 3 As shown, the platform interface adaptation layer can be configured with image mode middleware, which is used to perform the task of setting the target image mode. The platform interface adaptation layer can also be configured with validation setting middleware, which is used to perform the task of applying the target image mode. The platform interface adaptation layer can also be configured with parameter setting middleware. When performing the task of applying the target image mode, the validation setting middleware can call the parameter setting middleware to adjust the system's image parameters to switch the first image mode to the target image mode.

[0137] Combine Figure 6In response to a series of setting operations by the user, the display device 200 passes the configured target image parameters to the platform interface adaptation layer through the setting application, and passes the instruction to apply the target image mode to the platform interface adaptation layer. In response to the instruction, the effective setting middleware in the platform interface adaptation layer generates a corresponding target image mode according to each configured target image parameter, and calls the image mode middleware to store the target image mode. In addition, the effective setting middleware also calls the setting parameter middleware to switch the first image mode to the target image mode. After switching to the target image mode, the setting parameter middleware can send a refresh notification to the display 260, instructing the display 260 to refresh the screen using the target image mode to play the first source in the target image mode.

[0138] The execution of step S520 further includes:

[0139] Step S521 : Before the setting process is completed, if it is detected through the monitoring service that the first source type is switched to the second source type, a second image mode supported by the second source type is obtained.

[0140] Completing the setup process means completing the switching of the first image mode to the target image mode. Based on this, before the display device 200 adjusts the system's image parameters to the target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode, if it monitors that the first source type is switched to the second source type, that is, the source signal changes, the second image mode supported by the second source type is obtained.

[0141] Combine Figure 6 If the monitoring service detects a change in the source signal through the MTK interface, it reports the change to the monitoring signal middleware. This message includes the type of the source signal before and after the change. The monitoring signal middleware then reports the change to the settings application. The settings application then determines the first source type before and the second source type after the change based on the message.

[0142] The application is set to obtain the second image mode supported by the second source type. The process may refer to step S402 and will not be described in detail here.

[0143] It should be noted that each user-defined image mode has a corresponding basic image mode.

[0144] In one example, if the method for setting a custom image mode is to add an image mode, the basic image mode corresponding to the custom image mode is the basic image mode currently used. If another custom image mode is currently used, the basic image mode corresponding to the custom image mode is the basic image mode corresponding to the other custom image mode.

[0145] In another example, if the method of setting the customized image mode is to reconfigure an existing customized image mode, the basic image mode corresponding to the customized image mode is the basic image mode corresponding to the existing customized image mode.

[0146] The process of setting a custom image mode will be described in detail later, so I will not go into details here.

[0147] In one implementation, the basic image mode corresponding to the customized image mode may be written into the configuration file.

[0148] After obtaining the second image mode, the application may further obtain a base image mode corresponding to the second image mode, and the application may identify whether the base image mode corresponding to the second image mode includes a base image mode corresponding to the target image mode. If the base image mode corresponding to the second image mode includes the base image mode corresponding to the target image mode, the second source type supports the target image mode; if the base image mode corresponding to the second image mode does not include the base image mode corresponding to the target image mode, the second source type does not support the target image mode.

[0149] In some embodiments, the display device 200 may write available source types that support the custom image mode in a configuration file. For example, available source types include SDR and HDR, but exclude HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. The settings application may identify whether the second source type is an available source type recorded in the configuration file, i.e., whether it supports the custom image mode. If the second source type supports the custom image mode, the application may further identify whether the second source type supports the target image mode.

[0150] refer to Figure 3 The operating system shown is configured with a support configuration middleware in the platform interface adaptation layer. The setting application can read the available source types from the configuration file by calling the support configuration middleware and determine whether the second source type supports the custom image mode.

[0151] In which, when the setting application recognizes that the second type of film source supports the custom image mode, the setting application recognizes whether the basic image mode corresponding to the second image mode includes the basic image mode corresponding to the target image mode. When the setting application recognizes that the second type of film source does not support the custom image mode, the setting application directly triggers the display of a prompt message, which can be used to prompt that the second type of film source does not support the custom image mode, and the setting application no longer performs the task of identifying whether the basic image mode corresponding to the second image mode includes the basic image mode corresponding to the target image mode, that is, no longer performs the task of identifying whether the second type of film source supports the target image mode.

[0152] Combine Figure 6 The setting application can identify whether the second source type supports the custom image mode by whether the configuration middleware is supported in the platform interface adaptation layer, and if the second source type supports the custom image mode, obtain the second image mode supported by the second source type through the image mode middleware, and identify whether the second source type supports the target image mode based on the result fed back by the image mode middleware.

[0153] Step S522: Switch the first image mode to the second image mode, and display a prompt message if the second source type does not support the target image mode.

[0154] The prompt information is used to prompt that the second source type does not support the target image mode.

[0155] The process of the display device 200 switching the first image mode to the second image mode can be referred to step S403 and will not be described in detail here.

[0156] Based on step S521, if the second source type does not support the custom image mode, or the basic image mode corresponding to the second source type does not include the basic image mode corresponding to the target image mode, it means that the second source type does not support the target image mode, and a prompt message needs to be displayed.

[0157] Combine Figure 6 The configuration application sends a parameter setting instruction to the configuration parameter middleware in the platform interface adaptation layer, so that the configuration parameter middleware switches the first image mode to the second image mode. After completing the configuration, the configuration parameter middleware can send a refresh notification to the display 260. In response to the refresh notification, the display 260 refreshes the screen using the second image mode to play the switched second source in the second image mode.

[0158] If the setting application identifies that the second source type does not support the target image mode, a pop-up notification is sent to the display 260, so that the display 260 displays prompt information in the form of a pop-up window according to the pop-up notification.

[0159] exist Figure 6 In the process shown, the setup process and monitoring are executed in parallel.

[0160] In one example, if Figure 7 As shown, before completing the setup process, the display device 200 displays the first configuration page. If it is detected that the first source type is switched to the second source type, such as switching from HDR or SDR to HDR10+ or Dolby Vision, it can be determined that the second source type does not support custom images, that is, the second source type does not support the target image mode. The display device 200 displays a pop-up window 701 on the first configuration page and displays a prompt message in the pop-up window 701, such as "The current source type does not support custom image mode."

[0161] Based on step S521 , if the basic image mode corresponding to the second image mode includes the basic image mode corresponding to the target image mode, it indicates that the second image source type supports the target image mode, and no prompt information is displayed.

[0162] Therefore, before completing the setting process of setting the target image mode, the display device 200 can monitor whether the film source type has switched through the monitoring service. If it is monitored that the film source type has switched and the switched film source type does not support the target image mode, a prompt can be initiated in time to ensure the picture quality of the played film source.

[0163] In one implementation, the display device 200 terminates the setting process when it is identified that the second source type does not support the target image mode.

[0164] Figure 8 The embodiment of the present application provides a flow chart of a display device 200 displaying prompt information when the second source type does not support the target image mode. Figure 8 As shown, step S522 specifically includes:

[0165] Step S801, terminate the setting process and display a prompt message.

[0166] When the display device 200 identifies that the second source type does not support the target image mode, it terminates the setting process and displays a prompt message.

[0167] Step S802: Acquire the configured target image parameters.

[0168] The configured target image parameters are the target image parameters that the user has customized for the target image mode. Depending on the node at which the source signal is monitored for changes, the display device 200 may configure all or part of the target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode.

[0169] In one implementation, to more accurately manage the progress of setting the target image mode, a first marker can be added to the target image parameters that have already been configured. This first marker indicates that the corresponding target image parameters are already configured. This way, if the target image mode can be set again later, the settings application can quickly locate the target image parameters that have already been configured based on the first marker, thereby quickly determining the progress of setting the target image mode, allowing the user to continue setting the target image parameters that have not yet been configured based on this progress.

[0170] Step S803: storing the target image mode and the configured target image parameters in a memory in correspondence.

[0171] The setting application stores the target image mode and the configured target image parameters in the memory, that is, the target image mode and the target image parameters have an associated relationship, that is, when using the target image mode, it can be directly associated with the corresponding target image parameters.

[0172] In some embodiments, the settings application further stores the state of the target image mode, which includes a configuration-completed state and an incomplete configuration state. The configuration-completed state means that all target image parameters have been configured. The incomplete configuration state means that at least one target image parameter has not been configured.

[0173] In some embodiments, the settings application may mark that the first source type supports the target image mode, that is, the first source type and the target image mode have a first corresponding relationship.

[0174] In some embodiments, the settings application further stores a base image mode corresponding to the target image mode.

[0175] Thus, before completing the setup process, if the display device 200 detects a switch in the source type, and the switched source type does not support the target image mode, the setup process can be terminated promptly. This prevents the user from wasting time on setting the target image mode if the target image mode cannot be applied promptly. Furthermore, the display device 200 stores the configured target image parameters, and can also store the progress of setting the target image mode, making it easier for the user to subsequently set the target image mode based on this progress.

[0176] In another implementation, when the display device 200 identifies that the second source type does not support the target image mode, it keeps running the setting process but does not apply the target image mode.

[0177] Figure 9 Another embodiment of the present application provides a flow chart of another display device 200 displaying prompt information when the second source type does not support the target image mode. Figure 9 As shown, step S522 specifically includes:

[0178] Step S901: Keep running the setting process, and after completing the configuration of the target image parameters, keep applying the second image mode and display a prompt message;

[0179] If the display device 200 identifies that the second source type does not support the target image mode, it will continue to run the setup process to continue configuring the target image parameters for the target image mode. After completing the configuration of all target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode, it can receive a user instruction to apply the target image mode. However, since the second source type does not support the target image mode, in order to ensure the playback quality of the second source, the display device 200 responds to the instruction by maintaining the second image mode and not switching to the target image mode. Furthermore, the display device 200 can display a prompt message to indicate that the second source type does not support the target image mode.

[0180] Step S902: Acquire target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode.

[0181] Based on step SS901 , all target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode can be acquired, and all target image parameters have been configured.

[0182] Step S903: storing the target image mode and the target image parameters in a memory in correspondence.

[0183] Steps S902 to S903 are similar to steps S802 to S803 and are not described in detail here.

[0184] Therefore, before completing the setup process, if the display device 200 detects a switch in the source type, and the switched source type does not support the target image mode, it can continue the setup process to ensure the continuity of the user's operation to set the target image mode. Furthermore, after completing the configuration of the target image parameters, the image mode will not be switched to ensure the image quality of the currently playing source. Furthermore, the display device 200 can promptly indicate the reason why the target image mode cannot be applied by displaying a prompt message.

[0185] In some embodiments, after displaying the prompt message, the display device 200 can close the prompt message in response to the user's exit instruction or after detecting that the prompt message is displayed for a specified period of time, and exit the current page, such as the first configuration page and the page for confirming the application of the target image mode, to continue playing the second film source in the second image mode.

[0186] The following further describes the process of the display device 200 displaying the first configuration page in response to a series of user startup operations, wherein the series of startup operations includes a first operation and a second operation.

[0187] Figure 10 The flowchart of a display device 200 showing a first configuration page is provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 10 The specific steps are as follows:

[0188] Step S1001 : In response to a first operation in a series of startup operations, a first film source type is obtained.

[0189] The first operation is used to instruct to open a first menu.

[0190] The first menu is configured with an entry for setting the image mode. The first menu may be a system menu, for example, the first menu may be a submenu of the system setting menu.

[0191] In one example, the first menu is a third-level menu corresponding to the Intelligent Settings menu item in the second-level menu corresponding to the Display & Sound menu item in the System Settings menu. Accordingly, the display device 200 can, in response to a user instruction inputted via a settings key on the control device 100, display the System Settings menu, which includes the Display & Sound menu item; in response to a user instruction selecting the Display & Sound menu item, display the second-level menu corresponding to the Display & Sound menu item, which includes the Intelligent Settings menu item; and in response to a user instruction selecting the Intelligent Settings menu item, display the first menu. The first operation corresponds to the user inputting the three instructions described above.

[0192] Figure 11 A timing diagram of a display device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application setting a target image mode by adding an image mode. Figure 16 A timing diagram of a display device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application sets a target image mode by reconfiguring an existing customized image mode.

[0193] Combine Figure 11 and Figure 16 In response to the first operation, the display device 200 reads the source signal currently captured by the MTK interface through the support configuration middleware in the platform interface adaptation layer via the settings application. The support configuration middleware determines the current source type based on the source signal returned by the MTK interface. In this embodiment of the present application, the current source type is the first source type.

[0194] Step S1002 : Compare the first film source type with the available film source types, and display a first menu based on the comparison result.

[0195] As can be seen from the above, display device 200 can pre-configure available source types in a configuration file. Display device 200 can obtain a comparison result by comparing the first source type with the available source types. If the comparison result shows that the first source type is an available source type, it indicates that the first source type supports the custom image mode; if the comparison result shows that the first source type is not an available source type, it indicates that the first source type does not support the custom image mode.

[0196] If the comparison result shows that the first film source type belongs to an available film source type, the first menu includes a first menu item, and the first menu item is in an available state. The first menu item is the entry for setting the image mode. Figure 12A and Figure 12B This is a schematic diagram of the first menu provided in the embodiment of the present application. In one example, you can refer to Figure 12A The first menu shown includes a first menu item, such as Personalized customization. The first menu item is in an available state, that is, the user can enter the first configuration page by selecting the first menu item.

[0197] If the comparison result shows that the first source type does not belong to the available source type, the first menu does not include the first menu item, or the first menu includes the first menu item and the first menu item is unavailable. In an example, you can refer to Figure 12B The first menu shown does not include a first menu item.

[0198] Combine Figure 11 and Figure 16 After determining that the first source corresponds to the first source type, the configuration middleware in the platform interface adaptation layer can read the available source types in the configuration file and identify whether the first source type supports the custom image mode by comparing the first source type with the available source types. The configuration middleware returns the comparison result to the settings application, so that the settings application displays the first menu based on the comparison result. Figure 11 and Figure 16 The comparison result in FIG. 1 is that the first source type supports the custom image mode as an example for explanation.

[0199] Step S1003 : When the first menu includes a first menu item and the first menu item is in an available state, in response to a second operation in starting the operating system, displaying a first configuration page.

[0200] The second operation is an operation performed by the user based on the first menu item, such as clicking the first menu item.

[0201] Therefore, when displaying the first menu, the display device 200 dynamically displays the first menu item to ensure the validity of the corresponding operation of the user to set the target image mode.

[0202] In some embodiments, the settings application provides multiple ways to set the target image mode, which may include: setting the target image mode by adding an image mode, and the added image mode is the target image mode; setting the target image mode by reconfiguring an existing customized image mode, and the reconfigured customized image mode is the target image mode.

[0203] Figure 13 The flow chart of the display device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application displays the first configuration page based on different ways of setting the target image mode. Figure 13 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0204] Step S1301: In response to a second operation, obtain an event type corresponding to the second operation.

[0205] The event type corresponds to the method of setting the target image mode, and the event types include adding an image mode and reconfiguring an existing customized image mode.

[0206] Step S1302: Display a first preview page according to the event type.

[0207] The first preview page includes a preview screen for displaying the image quality effect of the first image mode.

[0208] In some embodiments, the object used to display the image quality effect of the first image mode may be a preset video or picture.

[0209] If the event type is adding an image mode, that is, setting the target image mode by adding an image mode, the display device 200 directly displays the first preview page.

[0210] If the event type is reconfiguring an existing customized image mode, that is, setting the target image mode by reconfiguring an existing customized image mode, the display device 200 first displays a second preview page, which includes a preview screen for displaying the image quality effect of a third image mode. The third image mode is the customized image mode to be reconfigured. Then, in response to the user confirming the reconfiguration operation, the display device 200 displays the first preview page again.

[0211] Step S1303 : In response to the user confirming the operation of starting the image mode setting operation, a first configuration page is displayed.

[0212] In some embodiments, the first preview page may include a first button for confirming the start of the set target image mode. In some embodiments, the first preview page may also include a second button for canceling the start of the set target image mode. In response to the user selecting the first button, the display device 200 displays the first configuration page.

[0213] Therefore, the display device 200 can set the target image mode by adding an image mode or reconfiguring an existing customized image mode, and based on the different methods of setting the target image mode, before entering the first configuration page, that is, starting to set the target image mode, the corresponding preview page is displayed with different strategies, so as to display the picture quality effects corresponding to the image mode that will affect the user's customized needs through these preview pages, so as to improve the effectiveness of the user setting the target image mode.

[0214] Figure 14 Flowchart of the process of setting the display device 200 to start the image mode provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 14 The specific steps are as follows:

[0215] Step S1401 : In response to the third operation in the series of setting operations, configuring target image parameters indicated by the user for a target image mode.

[0216] The third operation is to indicate the target image parameters configured for the target image mode. The display device 200 may configure the target image parameters indicated by the user for the target image mode by establishing an association relationship between the target image mode and the target image parameters.

[0217] Step S1402 : In response to the fourth operation in the series of setting operations, the first image mode is switched to the target image mode, and the target image mode is stored in the memory.

[0218] After completing the configuration of all target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode, the display device 200 switches the first image mode to the target image mode in response to a fourth operation, wherein the fourth operation is an operation in which the user instructs the application of the target image mode.

[0219] Furthermore, the display device 200 further stores the target image mode to add the target image mode as a customized image mode that can be used subsequently.

[0220] Among them, if the event type is reconfiguring an existing customized image mode, that is, the target image mode is set by reconfiguring the existing customized image mode, and the third image mode is also deleted from the memory, that is, the reconfigured existing customized image mode is deleted, thereby achieving the effect of replacing the image mode before reconfiguration with the image mode after reconfiguration.

[0221] Therefore, the display device 200 can store the target image mode after confirming the application of the target image mode to record the target image mode as a usable custom image mode, which can ensure that the target image parameters corresponding to the target image mode have all been configured and the user's recognition of the target image mode can be guaranteed.

[0222] The following describes in detail the process of setting the target image mode corresponding to steps S1301 to S1303 and steps S1401 to S1402 through two embodiments.

[0223] Example 1

[0224] Figure 15 This is an interactive flowchart of the display device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application setting a target image mode by adding an image mode.

[0225] Combine Figure 11 and Figure 15 , a process of setting the target image mode by adding an image mode in the display device 200 is described in detail.

[0226] Step S1 - 1 : In response to a user selecting a first menu item, a first preview page is displayed.

[0227] In response to the user selecting the first menu item, the display device 200 acquires a third image mode, where the third image mode is a customized image mode supported by the first source type.

[0228] In one implementation, if the display device 200 does not obtain the third image mode, it indicates that the target image mode cannot be set by reconfiguring an existing customized image mode, and the target image mode can only be set by adding an image mode. Therefore, the display device 200 can directly start adding the target image mode and display the first preview page.

[0229] like Figure 15 As shown in ①, the display device 200 displays a first menu, which includes a first menu item, and the first menu item is in an available state. In response to the user selecting the first menu item, if the display device 200 does not obtain the third image mode, such as Figure 15 As shown in ②, the display device 200 directly displays the first preview page.

[0230] In another implementation, if the display device 200 acquires a third image mode, it indicates that the target image mode can be set by either reconfiguring an existing custom image mode or adding an image mode. Thus, the display device 200 can display a custom image mode list, which includes a second menu item corresponding to each third image mode and an add entry.

[0231] The display device 200 may start a target image adding mode and display a first preview page in response to the user selecting an add entry operation.

[0232] If the display device 200 obtains the third image mode, Figure 15 After ①, Figure 15 Before ②, such as Figure 15 As shown in ③, the display device 200 displays a custom image mode list, which includes the second menu items corresponding to the third image mode 1 to the third image mode n, and the Add entry. The display device 200 responds to the user's operation of selecting the Add entry, as shown in FIG. Figure 15 As shown in step ②, the first preview page is displayed.

[0233] refer to Figure 3 The platform interface adaptation layer of the operating system shown in FIG2 is further configured with a start-up middleware and a stop-up middleware. The start-up middleware is used to confirm the image mode corresponding to the preview screen, and the stop-up middleware is used to record relevant data when the preview ends.

[0234] Combine Figure 11 , setting the application to respond to the operation of selecting the first menu item, obtain the first image mode of the current application by starting the presentation middleware, and setting the application to display the first preview page in the first image mode indicated by the result returned by the starting presentation middleware.

[0235] Step S1-2: In response to the user selecting a first button in the first preview page, displaying a first configuration page.

[0236] If the user still wants to continue setting the target image mode after viewing the image quality effect displayed on the first preview page, the user can confirm to start setting the target image mode through the first button indication.

[0237] like Figure 15 As shown in FIG2, the first preview page includes a first button, such as a Start button, and a second button, such as a Cancel button. The display device 200 responds to the user's operation of selecting the Start button, such as Figure 15 As shown in ④, the first configuration page is displayed.

[0238] Combine Figure 11 , the settings application displays a first configuration page in response to the user selecting the first button in the first preview page.

[0239] Step S1-3: In response to the user's operation of configuring the target image parameters based on the first configuration page, the target image parameters are configured for the target image mode.

[0240] Combine Figure 11 In response to the user's operation of configuring the target image parameters, the settings application transmits the configured target image parameters to the image mode middleware in the platform interface adaptation layer. The image mode middleware generates a target image mode based on the target image parameters transmitted by the settings application.

[0241] Step S1 - 4 : in response to a user's instruction to apply a target image mode, switching the first image mode to the target image mode, and storing the target image mode in a memory.

[0242] In some embodiments, before step S1-4, the display device 200 may display a target preview page based on the generated target image mode, wherein the target preview page is used to show the image quality effect of the target image mode. The target preview page includes an apply button, and the user can indicate to apply the target image mode by selecting the apply button.

[0243] After generating the target image pattern, as Figure 15 As shown in FIG5 , the target preview page is displayed, and the target preview page includes a preview screen in the target image mode. The target preview page also includes an Apply button. The display device 200 responds to the user's operation of selecting the Apply button, as shown in FIG5 . Figure 15 As shown in step ⑥, exit the target preview page and play the first source in the target image mode.

[0244] Combine Figure 11 , the image mode middleware in the platform interface adaptation layer feeds back the generation result to the setting application to notify the setting application that the target image mode has been generated. Based on the generation result, the setting application displays the target preview page, and in response to the operation instructing the application to apply the target image mode, the first image mode is switched to the target image mode by calling the setting parameter middleware of the platform interface adaptation layer. After switching to the target image mode, the setting parameter middleware can send a refresh notification to the display 260, instructing the display 260 to refresh the screen using the target image mode to play the first film source in the target image mode. In addition, the image mode middleware also stores the target image mode in the memory, for example, writing the first correspondence between the first film source type and the target image mode in the configuration file.

[0245] Example 2

[0246] Figure 17 This is an interactive flow chart of the display device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application setting a target image mode by reconfiguring an existing customized image mode.

[0247] Combine Figure 16 and Figure 17 , a process of setting a target image mode by reconfiguring an existing customized image mode in the display device 200 is described in detail.

[0248] Step S2-1: In response to the user selecting the first menu item, a custom image mode list is displayed.

[0249] Please refer to step S1-1, which will not be repeated here.

[0250] like Figure 17 As shown in ①, the display device 200 displays a first menu, which includes a first menu item, and the first menu item is in an available state. In response to the user selecting the first menu item, the display device 200 obtains the third image mode as an example. Figure 17 As shown in ②, the display device 200 displays a custom image mode list.

[0251] Step S2-2: In response to the user selecting the third image mode, a second preview page is displayed.

[0252] like Figure 17 As shown in ②, the user selects the third image mode 1 as an example. Figure 17 As shown in ③, the second preview page is displayed, and the second preview page includes a preview picture displayed in the third image mode 1.

[0253] Combine Figure 16 ,and Figure 11 In contrast, in response to the user selecting the first menu item, the settings application obtains the third image mode through the image mode middleware of the platform interface adaptation layer and displays the custom image mode list. In response to the user selecting the third image mode, the settings application obtains the third image mode to be reconfigured through the start-up presentation middleware. Based on the result returned by the start-up presentation middleware, the settings application displays the second preview page in the third image mode indicated by the result.

[0254] Step S2-3: in response to the user indicating confirmation to start the sub-operation of reconfiguring the third image mode, displaying the first preview page.

[0255] In some embodiments, the second preview page may include a third button for confirming the start of reconfiguring the third image mode. In some embodiments, the second preview page may further include a fourth button for canceling the start of reconfiguring the third image mode.

[0256] If the user still wants to reconfigure the third image mode after viewing the image quality effect in the third image mode displayed on the second preview page, the user can select the third button to confirm and start reconfiguring the third image mode.

[0257] like Figure 17 As shown in ③, the second preview page includes a third button, such as a Reconfigure button, and a fourth button, such as a Cancel button. The display device 200 responds to the user's operation of selecting the Reconfigure button, such as Figure 17 As shown in ④, the first preview page is displayed.

[0258] Combine Figure 16 , setting the application to display the first preview page in response to the user selecting the third button in the second preview page.

[0259] Step S2-4: In response to the user selecting the first button in the first preview page, displaying the first configuration page.

[0260] Step S2-4 can refer to step S1-2. Figure 16 The corresponding steps can be referred to Figure 11 The steps in are not repeated here.

[0261] Continue to refer Figure 17 , the display device 200 responds to the fifth sub-operation, such as Figure 17 As shown in ⑤, the first configuration page is displayed.

[0262] Step S2-5: In response to the user's operation of configuring the target image parameters based on the first configuration page, the target image parameters are configured for the target image mode.

[0263] Step S2-6: in response to the user's instruction to apply the target image mode, the first image mode is switched to the target image mode, the target image mode is stored in the memory, and the third image mode is deleted from the memory.

[0264] Steps S2-5 to S2-6 can refer to steps S1-3 to S1-4, and Figure 16 The corresponding steps can be referred to Figure 11The main difference is that, in response to the user's instruction to apply the target image mode, the display device 200 also needs to delete the third image mode before reconfiguration from the configuration file.

[0265] Continue to refer Figure 17 , the display device 200 displays the following in response to the user's setting operation: Figure 17 neutralize Figure 17 Middle ⑦, Figure 17 neutralize Figure 17 ⑦ can refer to Figure 15 neutralize Figure 15 ⑥, which will not be repeated here.

[0266] The following specifically describes the process of configuring the target image parameters based on the first configuration page.

[0267] The first configuration page includes at least one configuration item, and each configuration item has at least one sub-configuration item.

[0268] Each configuration item corresponds to a preset image parameter group, and each preset image parameter group includes image parameters belonging to the same category. Different preset image parameter groups include image parameters belonging to different categories. This effectively limits the number of configuration items.

[0269] Each sub-configuration item corresponds to a preset image parameter group corresponding to the configuration item to which it belongs. The value of at least one image parameter in the preset image parameter group corresponding to each sub-configuration item of the same configuration item is different.

[0270] Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of the first configuration page provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 18 As shown, the first configuration page includes four configuration items, namely, configuration item 11, configuration item 12, configuration item 13, and configuration item 14. Among them, the preset image parameter group corresponding to configuration item 11 includes image parameters belonging to the category of "brightness"; the preset image parameter group corresponding to configuration item 12 includes image parameters belonging to the category of "color temperature"; the preset image parameter group corresponding to configuration item 13 includes image parameters belonging to the category of "color"; and the preset image parameter group corresponding to configuration item 14 includes image parameters belonging to the category of "clarity".

[0271] A sub-configuration item is associated with an image parameter group. The value of each image parameter in the image parameter group is fixed. That is, the sub-configuration item is associated with a relatively fixed sub-image quality effect. The sub-image quality effect corresponds to the preset image parameter group associated with the sub-configuration item.

[0272] A sub-configuration item can be a picture style, and the image quality effect presented by the picture is consistent with the sub-image quality effect of the corresponding sub-configuration item.

[0273] The first configuration page displays the sub-configuration items corresponding to the selected configuration item, such as Figure 18 Configuration item 13 is selected, and the first configuration page currently displays sub-configuration items corresponding to configuration item 13, such as sub-configuration item 131, sub-configuration item 132, sub-configuration item 133, and sub-configuration item 134. The four sub-configuration items each correspond to a brightness-related image parameter group.

[0274] In some embodiments, if the target image mode is set by adding an image mode, the configuration items included in the first configuration page and the sub-configuration items of each configuration item all correspond to the first image mode. If the target image mode is set by reconfiguring an existing custom image mode, the configuration items included in the first configuration page and the sub-configuration items of each configuration item all correspond to the existing custom image mode to be reconfigured.

[0275] In response to a user selecting a target sub-configuration item from the sub-configuration items of each configuration item, display device 200 obtains image parameters from the preset image parameter group corresponding to each target sub-configuration item. The obtained image parameters are referred to as target image parameters. Display device 200 configures the image parameters from the preset image parameter group corresponding to each target sub-configuration item for the target image mode, that is, configures each target image parameter for the target image mode. For example, an association is established between the target image mode and each target image parameter.

[0276] Continue to refer Figure 18 , the user selects a target sub-configuration item in configuration item 13, such as sub-configuration item 132, and the target image parameters acquired by the display device 200 include image parameters in the preset image parameter group corresponding to sub-configuration item 132.

[0277] By combining image parameters belonging to the same category into a preset image parameter group, the number of preset image parameter groups can be effectively controlled. Since each preset image parameter group corresponds to a configuration item, the number of configuration items can be effectively controlled. Thus, by setting the target image mode through each configuration item, the number of configuration items required can be effectively reduced, minimizing the number of user interactions.

[0278] The following describes in detail the process of displaying the target preview page on the display device 200 .

[0279] Figure 19 The present invention provides a flow chart of a display device 200 displaying a target preview page. Figure 19 The specific steps are as follows:

[0280] Step S1901: In response to a third operation, obtaining a screen status of a first configuration page.

[0281] The first configuration page is displayed on an upper layer of the screen of the first source, and the screen state of the first configuration page includes a full-screen state and a non-full-screen state.

[0282] Step S1902: configuring target image parameters for the target image mode according to the screen status, and displaying a target preview page.

[0283] In one implementation, if the screen state is full screen, after completing the configuration of the target image parameters, a target preview page is displayed. The target preview page includes a preset demonstration sample for demonstrating the image quality effect of the target image mode, and the media resource type of the preset demonstration sample is consistent with the media resource type of the first source.

[0284] Media asset types include videos and images.

[0285] In one implementation, the setting application includes a resident service (Service). After displaying the first configuration page, the setting application registers a monitoring service for the media playback status in the service. For example, the monitoring service may include a Media Session Manager service, which can monitor active media sessions, that is, sessions in the playback state, through the Media Session Manager service. The monitoring service may also include an Audio Manager service, which can monitor applications that have obtained audio focus, that is, applications that are using audio, through the Audio Manager service. If an active media session is detected, and an application that has obtained audio focus is detected, it can be determined that there is media being played in the background, that is, the first source. In the case of determining that there is media being played in the background, it is further determined whether the player used to play the media in the background is a video player. If it is a video player, it can be determined that the media type of the first source is video; if it is not a video player, it can be determined that the media type of the first source is picture.

[0286] The preset demonstration samples are media assets preset on the display device 200 for demonstrating image quality effects. The media asset types of the preset demonstration samples may include videos and pictures.

[0287] After the target image mode is generated, a target preview page is displayed on the first screen, and the image quality effect corresponding to the target image mode is demonstrated using a preset demonstration sample. If the media type is video, the preset demonstration sample is a video; if the media type is image, the demonstration sample is an image.

[0288] When the display device 200 displays the first configuration page in full screen mode, it cannot simultaneously display the first source being played. Therefore, upon entering the first configuration page in full screen mode, the display device 200 pauses playback of the first source to avoid the user from incorrectly playing media content during the target image mode setting process. Accordingly, after exiting the target image mode setting process, the display device 200 resumes playback of the first source.

[0289] In another implementation, if the screen state is not full screen, during the process of configuring target image parameters for the target image mode, each time a target image parameter is configured, a target preview page is updated and displayed. The target preview page includes a picture of the first source played using each configured target image parameter.

[0290] In some embodiments, the first configuration page is displayed on the first screen in the form of a half screen or a small window. In other words, the user can watch the played video source at the same time while setting the target image mode.

[0291] The display device 200 can directly use the first film source as a demonstration example. Each time a target image parameter is configured, the display device 200 displays the first film source's image according to that target image parameter and the target image parameters configured before that target image parameter. In other words, the first film source's image is directly used as the target preview page. It is understood that the target preview page is a real-time preview page.

[0292] After completing the configuration of all target image parameters, the image quality effect corresponding to the target image mode can be displayed in real time on the target preview page using the image of the first source.

[0293] In some embodiments, after detecting that the first preview page is displayed, the display device 200 records the first image mode as the original image mode, where the original image mode refers to the image mode used before the target image mode is applied, that is, the currently used image mode.

[0294] Combine Figure 11 and Figure 16 , after displaying the first preview page, the application is set to record the first image mode as the original image mode by calling the image mode middleware in the platform interface adaptation layer.

[0295] In some embodiments, the display device 200 can provide an image mode comparison function by setting an application, so that before applying the target image mode, the user can quickly compare the image quality effect in the current image mode and the image quality effect in the target image mode, helping the user to determine whether to apply the target image mode.

[0296] Figure 20This is a flow chart of comparing the image quality effects of the display device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 20 The specific steps are as follows:

[0297] Step S2001 : in response to a comparison instruction input by a user, obtaining a recorded original image mode.

[0298] The original image mode is recorded when it is detected that the first preview page is displayed, and the original image mode is the image mode corresponding to the image quality effect displayed in the first preview page.

[0299] In some embodiments, the target preset page may include a fifth button, and the user may select the fifth button to enter a comparison instruction. Figure 15 The target preview page shown in ⑤ in 17 and ⑥ in 17 includes a fifth button, such as a Compare button.

[0300] In response to the comparison instruction, the display device 200 obtains the recorded original image mode, that is, the image mode that needs to be compared with the target image mode.

[0301] Combine Figure 11 and Figure 16 , setting the application to respond to the control instruction and obtain the recorded original image mode, such as the first image mode, by calling the image mode middleware in the platform interface adaptation layer.

[0302] Step S2002: Displaying a preview image for showing the image quality effect of the original image mode on the target preview page.

[0303] The display device 200 adjusts the system's image parameters according to the image parameters corresponding to the first image mode, adjusts the target image mode to the first image mode, and displays the preview image in the first image mode. In this way, the user can switch between browsing the preview image in the first image mode and the preview image in the target image mode on the target preview page to compare the image quality effects in the two image modes.

[0304] Before displaying the preview image in the first image mode on the target preview page, the display device 200 sets the target image mode as the image mode to be applied. If the user wishes to view the image quality effect in the target image mode again on the target preview page, or if the user wishes to apply the target image mode, the display device 200 may retrieve the recorded image mode to be applied and display the preview image in the target image mode on the target preview page, or exit the target preview page and switch the first image mode to the target image mode.

[0305] In some embodiments, the display device 200 may display a waiting page in response to an application instruction input by the user. The waiting page may include a preset animation indicating that the target image mode is currently being switched. After detecting that the target image mode has been switched, the display device 200 exits the waiting page and plays the first source in the target image mode.

[0306] If the target preview page is in a non-full screen state, when applying the target image mode, there is no need to adjust the system image parameters again, and there is no need to display a waiting page, and only the target image mode needs to be stored.

[0307] In some embodiments, the settings application further provides an editing function for each second menu item in the custom image mode list. Based on the editing function, the custom image mode corresponding to each second menu item can be edited.

[0308] The process of editing a customized image mode of the display device 200 is as follows:

[0309] When displaying the custom image mode list, the display device 200 adjusts the second menu item to an editable state in response to a control instruction input by the user based on the second menu item. For example, the display device 200 can adjust the second menu item to an editable state in response to a control instruction input by the user by long pressing the second menu item.

[0310] The second menu item is in an editable state, which means that the second menu item can be edited and the customized image mode corresponding to the second menu item can be further edited. For example, the second menu item in an editable state includes at least one editing control. The at least one editing control may include an editable text box, a delete control, etc., wherein the editable text box includes the name of the customized image mode corresponding to the second menu item and is used to edit the name; the delete control is used to indicate the deletion of the second menu item.

[0311] The display device 200 edits the second menu item and the user-defined image mode corresponding to the second menu item in response to an editing instruction input by the user based on the second menu item in an editable state.

[0312] In one example, in response to an edit instruction entered by a user in an editable text box, display device 200 may modify the first name in the text box to a second name, where the first name is the current name of the customized image mode corresponding to the second menu item, and the second name is the modified name. After modifying the first name in the text box to the second name, display device 200 updates the customized image mode list to update the name in the second menu item to the second name. Furthermore, display device 200 also modifies the name of the customized image mode in the configuration file to the second name.

[0313] In another example, the display device 200 may delete the second menu item from the custom image mode list in response to an edit instruction input by the user using the delete control. The display device 200 updates the custom image mode list, and the updated custom image mode list does not include the second menu item. Furthermore, the display device 200 deletes the custom image mode corresponding to the second menu item from the configuration file.

[0314] Thus, the display device 200 may provide a function of editing a user-defined image mode, so that the user may flexibly edit the customized image mode according to needs.

[0315] For ease of explanation, the above description has been made in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, the above discussion of some embodiments is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the embodiments to the specific forms disclosed above. Based on the above teachings, various modifications and variations can be obtained. The above embodiments are selected and described to better explain the content of this disclosure, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better use the embodiments.
