Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a display device and a page display method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of display devices and the diversification of users' information needs, more and more third-party applications are being integrated into the system applications of display devices. To facilitate users in selecting the third-party applications they want to use in the system applications, the third-party applications can be arranged in a single row, and users can browse and select the third-party applications arranged in a single row through a remote control device.

[0003] However, in real-world scenarios, due to the large number of third-party applications, users need to scroll horizontally frequently to locate the desired application, which reduces the efficiency of application search. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a display device and a page display method. By dividing each application into different application categories and displaying only the applications in the selected application categories on the main page, the scope of application display is narrowed, thereby improving the efficiency of application search on the main page of the display device.

[0005] In a first aspect, some embodiments provide a display device, including:

[0006] Displays and controllers;

[0007] The controller is configured as follows:

[0008] The display monitor is controlled to show the main page of the display device; wherein, the main page is configured to display an application category, and the main page displays a first application category; the content of the first application category includes application icons located under the first application category;

[0009] In response to a category editing operation on the main page, the display is controlled to show the category editing page; wherein the category editing page displays a first application category and at least one second application category; the content of the second application category includes application icons located under the second application category;

[0010] In response to a selection action for the second application category, the control screen hides the first application category on the main page and displays the selected second application category.

[0011] The above technical solution, in response to a column editing operation on a main page displaying a first application column, controls the display to show a column editing page containing the first application column and at least one second application column. Then, in response to a selection operation on a second application column, it controls the display to hide the first application column on the main page and display the selected second application column. Using this method, on the one hand, by dividing the application icons into different application columns, it eliminates the need to select each application icon individually when editing the main page, improving page editing efficiency. On the other hand, by displaying only the application column selected by the user, the number of applications displayed on the main page is reduced, making it easier for users to quickly locate the required application icon among a small number of icons, thereby improving the efficiency of application search on the display device's main page.

[0012] In some embodiments, when the controller performs an operation in response to a selection of a second application category, controlling the display to hide the first application category on the main page and display the selected second application category, it is configured to:

[0013] In response to the selection operation for the second application category, based on the position information of the first application icon in the target application category and the number of applications under the selected second application category, the focus of the category editing page is moved from the first application icon to the second application icon; where the first application icon is the application icon currently in which the focus of the category editing page is located; and the target application category is the application category to which the first application icon belongs.

[0014] In response to an exit operation on the category editing page, the display is controlled to hide the first application category on the main page, and to show the selected second application category, and to focus the main page on the target application icon; wherein the target application icon is the second application icon or the first application icon in the selected second application category.

[0015] In this embodiment, by determining the movement position of the page focus based on the position information of the first application icon in the target application category and the number of applications under the second application category, and by selecting the target application icon focused on by the page focus through the page focus processing logic when exiting the category editing page, the rationality of the focus movement during the application display editing process can be guaranteed.

[0016] In some embodiments, different application categories in the category editing page are arranged in order, and different application icons under the same application category are arranged in order; the location information includes the arrangement number of the first application icon under the target application category;

[0017] When the controller moves the focus of the category editing page from the first application icon to the second application icon based on the position information of the first application icon in the target application category and the number of applications under the selected second application category, it is configured as follows:

[0018] If the number of applications in the selected second application category is less than or equal to the number of applications in the selected second application category, the application icon at the number of the selected second application category will be used as the second application icon, and the focus of the category editing page will be moved from the first application icon to the second application icon.

[0019] If the number of applications in the selected second application category is greater than the number of applications in the selected second application category, the application icon at the end of the selected second application category will be used as the second application icon, or the application icon in the next application category corresponding to the selected second application category will be used as the second application icon, and the focus of the category editing page will be moved from the first application icon to the second application icon.

[0020] In this embodiment, by selecting the corresponding page focus movement method based on the relationship between the arrangement number and the number of applications, the flexibility and rationality of page focus movement can be guaranteed.

[0021] In some embodiments, after the controller controls the display to show the column editing page, it is further configured to:

[0022] In response to an edit trigger operation on the third application icon, the third application icon is switched from a non-edit state to an edit state; the third application icon is the application icon that is the focus of the column editing page;

[0023] When the third application icon is in edit mode, receive button information sent by the remote control device; wherein, the button information includes button information in the horizontal direction and / or vertical direction;

[0024] Based on the button information, move the position of the third application icon under its own application category, or move the third application icon to the third application category; wherein, the third application category is any application category other than the application category to which the third application icon belongs.

[0025] In this embodiment, after the third application icon is switched from a non-editing state to an editing state, the position of the third application icon is adjusted in its respective application category and among the application categories according to the movement method represented by the button information, which can ensure the flexibility and reliability of the application icon position editing.

[0026] In some embodiments, after the controller moves the third application to the third application category based on the button information, it is further configured to:

[0027] In response to the edit and save operation for the third application icon, the number of applications under the third application category is compared with the preset number threshold.

[0028] If the number of applications under the third application category is less than or equal to a preset threshold, the third application icon will be changed from edit mode to non-edit mode.

[0029] If the number of applications under the third application category exceeds a preset threshold, keep the third application icon in edit mode and output a prompt message for re-editing the third application icon.

[0030] In the embodiments of this application, by introducing a preset quantity threshold, the number of applications in the third application section is limited, thereby avoiding the problem of low query efficiency caused by a large number of applications in the third application section when displaying the third application section on the main page, thus improving the rationality of adjusting the position of the third application icon.

[0031] In some embodiments, when the controller executes the command to control the display to show the column editing page, it is configured to:

[0032] The control monitor displays a first application column in a first display style on the column editing page, and displays at least one second application column in a second display style;

[0033] When the controller executes a response to a selection action for the second application category, controlling the display to hide the first application category on the main page and display the selected second application category, it is configured as follows:

[0034] In response to the selection operation for the second application column, the display is controlled to show the selected second application column in the column editing page in a first display style, and to show other application columns in a second display style; wherein, other application columns are application columns other than the second application column in the column editing page;

[0035] In response to an exit operation on the category editing page, control the display to hide the first application category on the main page and display the selected second application category.

[0036] In this embodiment of the application, by adopting different display styles to distinguish between the application categories selected by the user and those not selected by the user, the user's selection results can be displayed in real time during the application category selection process to prompt the user, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the application category selection.

[0037] In some embodiments, each application category in the category editing page corresponds to a selection control; when the controller executes the control of the display to show the application icon under the selected second application category in the category editing page in the first display style, and to show the application icons under other application categories in the second display style, it is configured as follows:

[0038] In response to a click operation on any selection control, the display is controlled to show the application icon of the selected second application category in the category editing page in a first display style, and to show the application icons of other application categories in a second display style; wherein, the selected second application category is the application category corresponding to the selection control.

[0039] In this embodiment, by introducing a selection control, the user's selection results for the application section can be displayed more intuitively, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the application section selection.

[0040] Secondly, some embodiments also provide a page display method applied to a display device, including:

[0041] The display monitor is controlled to show the main page of the display device; wherein, the main page is configured to display an application category, and the main page displays a first application category; the content of the first application category includes application icons located under the first application category;

[0042] In response to a category editing operation on the main page, the display is controlled to show the category editing page; wherein the category editing page displays a first application category and at least one second application category; the content of the second application category includes application icons located under the second application category;

[0043] In response to a selection action for the second application category, the control screen hides the first application category on the main page and displays the selected second application category.

[0044] In some embodiments, in response to a selection operation for a second application category, controlling the display to hide the first application category on the main page and display the selected second application category includes:

[0045] In response to the selection operation for the second application category, based on the position information of the first application icon in the target application category and the number of applications under the selected second application category, the focus of the category editing page is moved from the first application icon to the second application icon; where the first application icon is the application icon currently in which the focus of the category editing page is located; and the target application category is the application category to which the first application icon belongs.

[0046] In response to an exit operation on the category editing page, the display is controlled to hide the first application category on the main page, and to show the selected second application category, and to focus the main page on the target application icon; wherein the target application icon is the second application icon or the first application icon in the selected second application category.

[0047] In some embodiments, different application categories in the category editing page are arranged in order, and different application icons under the same application category are arranged in order; the location information includes the arrangement number of the first application icon under the target application category;

[0048] Based on the position of the first application icon in the target application category and the number of applications under the selected second application category, the focus of the category editing page is moved from the first application icon to the second application icon, including:

[0049] If the number of applications in the selected second application category is less than or equal to the number of applications in the selected second application category, the application icon at the number of the selected second application category will be used as the second application icon, and the focus of the category editing page will be moved from the first application icon to the second application icon.

[0050] If the number of applications in the selected second application category is greater than the number of applications in the selected second application category, the application icon at the end of the selected second application category will be used as the second application icon, or the application icon in the next application category corresponding to the selected second application category will be used as the second application icon, and the focus of the category editing page will be moved from the first application icon to the second application icon.

[0051] Thirdly, some embodiments also provide a page display device configured on a display device, including:

[0095] Figure 3 Provided for some embodiments of this application Figure 1 Hardware configuration block diagram of the central control device. (Example) Figure 3 As shown, the control device 100 may include: a controller 110, a communication interface 130, a user input / output interface, a memory, and a power supply.

[0096] The control device 100 is configured to control the display device 200, and to receive user input operation commands and convert the operation commands into commands that the display device 200 can recognize and respond to, thus acting as an intermediary for interaction between the user and the display device 200.

[0097] In some embodiments, the control device 100 may be an intelligent device. For example, the control device 100 may be equipped with various applications for controlling the display device 200 according to user needs.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mobile terminal 300 or other smart electronic devices can perform similar functions to the control device 100 after installing the application of the control display device 200.

[0099] The controller 110 includes a processor 112, RAM 113, ROM 114, a communication interface 130, and a communication bus. The controller 110 is used to control the operation of the control device 100, as well as the communication and cooperation between internal components and the external and internal data processing functions.

[0100] Under the control of the controller 110, the communication interface 130 enables communication of control signals and data signals with the display device 200. The communication interface 130 may include at least one of other near-field communication modules such as WiFi chip 131, Bluetooth module 132, and NFC module 133.

[0102] In some embodiments, the control device 100 includes at least one of a communication interface 130 and an input / output interface 140. The control device 100 is configured with the communication interface 130, such as a WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC module, which can encode user input commands via WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC protocols and send them to the display device 200.

[0103] The memory 190 is used to store various operating programs, data, and applications for driving and controlling the control device 100 under the control of the controller. The memory 190 can also store various control signal instructions input by the user.

[0104] The power supply 180 is used to provide operating power support for the various components of the control device 100 under the control of the controller.

[0105] In some embodiments, to enable user interaction, the display device 200 may run an operating system. The 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) provide a user interface, allowing users to interact with the display device 200 and supporting the running of various applications.

[0106] It should be noted that the operating system can be a native operating system based on a specific operating platform, a third-party operating system that is deeply customized based on a specific operating platform, or an independent operating system specifically developed for display devices.

[0107] An operating system can be divided into different modules or levels based on the functions it implements, for example... Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom: the Applications layer (referred to as the "Application Layer"), the Application Framework layer (referred to as the "Framework Layer"), the System Library layer, and the Kernel layer.

[0108] In some embodiments, the application layer provides services and interfaces for applications, enabling the display device 200 to run applications and interact with the user based on the applications. The application layer may contain at least one application, which may be a built-in Windows program, system settings program, or clock program of the operating system; or it may be an application developed by a third-party developer. In specific implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the examples above.

[0109] The framework layer provides application programming interfaces (APIs) and a programming framework for applications. The application framework layer includes predefined functions. It acts as a central processing unit, determining the actions taken by applications within the application layer. Through the API, applications can access system resources and obtain system services during execution.

[0110] like Figure 4 As shown, the application framework layer in this embodiment includes a view system, managers, and content providers. The view system designs and implements the application's interface and interactions, and includes lists, grids, text boxes, and buttons. The managers include at least one of the following modules: an activity manager for interacting with all running activities in the system; a location manager for providing system services or applications with access to system location services; a package manager for retrieving various information related to application packages currently installed on the device; a notification manager for controlling the display and clearing of notification messages; and a window manager for managing icons, windows, toolbars, wallpapers, and desktop widgets on the user interface.

[0111] In some embodiments, the Activity Manager manages the lifecycle of individual applications and common navigation and back functions, such as controlling application exit, opening, and back actions. The Window Manager manages all window programs, such as obtaining the screen size, determining if a status bar is present, locking the screen, capturing the screen, and controlling changes to the display window, such as shrinking the display window, shaking the display, or distorting the display.

[0112] In some embodiments, the system runtime library layer can provide support for the framework layer. When the framework layer is used, the operating system runs the instruction library contained in the system runtime library layer, such as the C / C++ instruction library, to implement the functions to be performed by the framework layer.

[0113] In some embodiments, the kernel layer is a functional layer situated between the hardware and software of the display device 200. The kernel layer can implement functions such as hardware abstraction, multitasking, and memory management. For example, ... Figure 4 As shown, hardware drivers can be configured in the kernel layer. The drivers included in the kernel layer can be at least one of the following: audio driver, display driver, Bluetooth driver, camera driver, WIFI driver, USB driver, HDMI driver, sensor driver (such as fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), and power driver, etc.

[0114] It should be noted that the above examples are merely a simple division of operating system functions and do not limit the specific form of the operating system of the display device 200 in this application embodiment. Depending on the function of the display device, the type of operating system, and other factors, the number of levels and the specific level type of the operating system may be expressed in other forms.

[0115] With the development of display devices and the diversification of users' information needs, more and more third-party applications are being integrated into the system applications of display devices. To facilitate users in selecting the third-party applications they want to use in the system applications, the third-party applications can be arranged in a single row, and users can browse and select the third-party applications arranged in a single row through a remote control device.

[0116] However, in real-world scenarios, due to the large number of third-party applications, users need to scroll horizontally frequently to locate the desired application, which reduces the efficiency of application search.

[0117] Based on this, in some embodiments, a page display method is provided. The page display method is implemented by a display device. In one optional embodiment, taking the application of the page display method to a controller in a display device as an example, the display device includes a display and a controller.

[0118] like Figure 5 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0119] S510 controls the display to show the main page of the display device.

[0120] The main page is the page that displays all the applications. It can be the default page that appears when the device is started, or it can be displayed in response to a user's application request. The application section is the area on the main page where application icons are displayed. Furthermore, the content of the application section can include the icons of the various applications listed there.

[0121] To narrow down the scope of user searches, the main page is configured to display only one application category. That is, only one application category can be displayed on the main page. Furthermore, the main page displays the content of this first application category. The content of the first application category includes the application icons located below it; triggering each application icon leads to the corresponding application's usage page. The first application category is the application category currently displayed on the main page.

[0122] It is worth noting that, in order to ensure that the first application section is adapted to user needs, a preset number of popular applications frequently used by users can be automatically filtered based on the user's historical usage records, and the application icons of each popular application can be configured in the first application section; alternatively, the application icons of the required applications can be actively configured in the first application section when the user enters the main page for the first time, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0123] In one optional implementation, after detecting a user's application retrieval request, the display can be controlled to show the main page containing the first application category. The application retrieval request can be initiated by the user via a remote control device; for example, when the page focus is on the first application category, the user can enter the category editing page by long-pressing the menu button. Alternatively, it can be initiated by a direct trigger operation performed by the user on the display device; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0124] The S520, in response to a category editing operation on the main page, controls the display to show the category editing page.

[0125] The so-called "section editing operation" refers to the operation of editing the application sections displayed on the main page. The so-called "section editing page" refers to the relevant page for editing the content of the application sections displayed on the main page.

[0126] Understandably, the category editing page contains all the applications on the display device. To improve the efficiency of page editing, applications can be divided into different application categories based on information such as application type, application attributes, and / or application usage frequency. In this case, the selection operation for each application icon can be converted into the selection operation for the application category.

[0127] Furthermore, to differentiate the display of application categories, the application category currently displayed on the main page can be designated as the first application category, and other application categories not currently displayed on the main page can be designated as the second application category. Therefore, the category editing page displays the first application category and at least one second application category, and the content of the second application category includes the application icon located below it. As user needs change, there may be situations where users need to use applications in the hidden second application categories. In this case, the application categories displayed on the main page need to be readjusted through the category editing operation.

[0128] In one alternative implementation, the user can trigger the column editing controls on the main page via a remote control device to send a column editing operation request for the main page to the display device. Alternatively, voice control or other methods can be used, such as speaking keywords like "edit application column" to send a column editing operation request for the main page to the display device.

[0129] In response to a category editing request generated based on a category editing operation on the main page, if there is only one second application category, the second application category can be directly placed under the first application category to generate a category editing page.

[0130] When there are multiple second application categories, the second application categories can be sorted in descending order of frequency of use within the first application category to generate a category editing page; alternatively, the second application categories can be sorted in descending order of popularity of use within each category to generate a category editing page.

[0131] It is worth noting that, in order to improve the convenience of user selection, when there are multiple second application categories, the first application category can be used as the central axis. Then, referring to the above method, based on the selection frequency / application usage popularity, the second application categories can be arranged sequentially on the top and bottom sides of the first application category to generate a category editing page.

[0132] After selecting the category editing page, you can control the display to show the category editing page.

[0133] S530, in response to a selection operation for the second application section, controls the display to hide the first application section on the main page and display the selected second application section.

[0134] In one alternative implementation, the user can remotely control the device to trigger the selection control for the desired second application category. Alternatively, voice control can be used, allowing the user to select the second application category on the category editing page by speaking keywords such as "select row X". A corresponding selection request can then be generated based on the selection of the second application category.

[0135] In response to a selection request generated based on a selection operation for the second application category, the display can be controlled to show the application icon of the selected second application category on the main page, and the content of the original first application category can be hidden.

[0136] Understandably, since the number of app icons in the second app section is much smaller than the total number of app icons, selecting apps in the second app section can greatly save users' selection time.

[0137] Specifically, after the display shows the content of the second application section, the user can use the remote control to select the desired application from the application icons in the second application section and send a confirmation command to the display device. Upon receiving the confirmation command from the remote control, the system can determine the application the user wants to operate based on the application identifier information in the confirmation command, and then control the display to show the application's function interface.

[0138] In the above page display method, after controlling the display to show a column editing page containing the first application column and at least one second application column in response to a column editing operation on the main page displaying the first application column, the display can hide the first application column and show the selected second application column in response to a selection operation on the second application column. Using this method, on the one hand, by dividing the application icons into different application columns, it is not necessary to select each application icon to be displayed individually when editing the main page, which improves the efficiency of page editing; on the other hand, by only displaying the application column selected by the user, the number of applications displayed on the main page is reduced, making it easier for users to quickly locate the required application icon among a small number of application icons, thereby improving the efficiency of application search on the display device's main page.

[0139] Based on the above embodiments, step S530 is further refined in this application embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0140] S610, in response to the selection operation for the second application category, moves the focus of the category editing page from the first application icon to the second application icon based on the position information of the first application icon in the target application category and the number of applications under the selected second application category.

[0141] The first application icon is the application icon currently in focus on the section editing page. The target application section is the application section to which the first application icon belongs. The second application icon is the application icon where the page focus position is located after the user moves the page.

[0142] It's understandable that when navigating from the main page to the category editing page, if the page focus on the main page is on the content of the first application category, the page focus can be carried over to the category editing page. In this case, the first application icon is the application icon within the first application category, and the target application category is the first application category. Alternatively, the page focus position can be pre-set, so that the application icon at the focus position on the category editing page becomes the first application icon upon entering the category editing page. For example, the page focus can be set to the first application icon in the upper left corner of the category editing page.

[0143] The "location information" refers to the relative position of the first application icon within the target application category; for example, it could be information such as a horizontally arranged sequence number. The "number of applications under the second application category" refers to the number of application icons in the second application category.

[0144] Understandably, to ensure smooth page focus transitions, when switching between adjacent application categories, the focus will generally move to the nearest one; that is, the relative position of the focus within the application category will remain unchanged. For example, if the first application icon is the second from the left in the target application category, when the second application category is selected, the second application icon will also be the second from the left in the second application category.

[0145] However, since the number of application icons varies across different application categories, after determining the first application icon on the category editing page based on the page focus processing logic, in response to a selection operation targeting the second application category, the position of the page focus in the second application category can be determined based on the position of the first application icon in the target application category and the number of applications in the second application category. The application icon at that position will then be used as the second application icon. The selection operation targeting the second application category can be a short press of a button on the remote control device used for confirmation, such as the "OK" button.

[0146] S620, in response to an exit operation on the column editing page, controls the display to hide the first application column on the main page, and displays the selected second application column, and focuses the main page on the target application icon.

[0147] The target application icon is either the second application icon or the first application icon in the selected second application category.

[0148] In one alternative implementation, after selecting the second application category, an exit request for the category editing page can be sent to the display device by triggering the exit button on the remote control. For example, the user can save the selection and exit the application editing page by briefly pressing the menu button on the remote control. Alternatively, voice control or similar methods can be used to send an exit request for the category editing page to the display device by speaking keywords such as "exit editing".

[0149] In response to an exit request initiated based on an exit operation on the category editing page, the display can be controlled to hide the first application category on the main page and display the selected second application category. At this time, the page focus position on the main page can be determined according to the page focus processing logic, and the application icon at that page focus position can be used as the target application icon.

[0150] For example, if the page focus processing logic is to carry the page focus from the category editing page to the main page, the target application icon is the second application icon; if the page focus processing logic is to preset the page focus position, the target application icon is the application icon at the preset page focus position. For instance, if the preset page focus position is the position of the first application icon in the second application category, the target application icon is the first application icon in the second application category.

[0151] In this embodiment, by determining the movement position of the page focus based on the position information of the first application icon in the target application category and the number of applications under the second application category, and by selecting the target application icon focused on by the page focus through the page focus processing logic when exiting the category editing page, the rationality of the focus movement during the application display editing process can be guaranteed.

[0152] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, different application columns in the column editing page are arranged sequentially, and different application icons under the same application column are arranged sequentially; the location information includes the arrangement number of the first application icon under the target application column. The sorting logic among the application columns is the same; for example, they can all be arranged from left to right.

[0153] Based on this, step S610 is further refined, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0154] S710, retrieve the sorting number of the first application icon under the target application category.

[0155] In one alternative implementation, the sequence number of the first application icon under the target application category can be obtained from the location information of the first application icon.

[0156] S720: Determine whether the sorting sequence number is less than or equal to the number of applications under the selected second application category. If yes, execute S730; otherwise, execute S740.

[0157] Understandably, when only an application selection is performed, the relative position of the page focus within the application category will generally remain unchanged. However, this stability depends on the number of applications in the second application category being sufficiently large. Therefore, it's necessary to determine whether the sorting number is less than or equal to the number of applications in the selected second application category.

[0158] If the number of applications in the sorted sequence is less than or equal to the number of applications in the selected second application category, proceed to step S730; if the number of applications in the sorted sequence is greater than the number of applications in the selected second application category, proceed to step S740.

[0159] For example, you can refer to Figure 8 The page editing diagram shown is as follows. When the first application icon 1 is "Application Icon 1-3", the sequence number of the first application icon 1 is 3, and the number of applications to be selected in the second application column (the application column in the second row) is 5. At this time, the following step S730 is executed.

[0160] S730 selects the application icon at the serial number of the selected second application column as the second application icon and moves the focus of the column editing page from the first application icon to the second application icon.

[0161] Understandably, if the number of applications in the selected second application category is less than or equal to the number of applications in the selected second application category, the page focus can be on the application icon at the selected second application category's number, based on the principle of keeping the relative position unchanged. In this case, the focus of the category editing page will move from the first application icon to the second application icon.

[0162] For example, you can continue to refer to Figure 8 The page editing diagram shown shows that after selecting the second application category, the "Application Icon 2-3" with the serial number 3 in the second row of application categories can be used as the second application icon 2, and the page focus will also move to "Application Icon 2-3".

[0163] S740, selects the application icon at the end of the selected second application category as the second application icon, or selects the application icon in the next application category corresponding to the selected second application category as the second application icon, and moves the focus of the category editing page from the first application icon to the second application icon.

[0164] It is understandable that if the number of applications in the sorted sequence is greater than the number of applications in the selected second application category, the page focus cannot continue to maintain its relative position. In this case, in one optional implementation, the application icon at the end of the sorted sequence in the second application category can be used as the second application icon, based on the principle of minimizing the focus movement distance.

[0165] For example, you can refer to Figure 9 The page editing diagram shown illustrates that when the first application icon 3 is listed as "Application Icons 1-6", its sequence number is 6, and the number of applications in the second application category (the application category in the second row) is 5. Since the sequence number is greater than the number of applications, the last "Application Icons 2-5" in the application category of the second row can be used as the second application icon 4.

[0166] In another optional implementation, to ensure the relative position of the page focus remains unchanged, a downward query can be performed based on the sorting number. The application category with the first number of applications greater than or equal to the sorting number is designated as the next application category corresponding to the second application category. The application icon at the sorting number in the next application category is then designated as the second application icon. The focus of the category editing page is then moved from the first application icon to the second application icon.

[0167] For example, you can continue to refer to Figure 9 The page editing diagram shown shows that when the first application icon 3 is "Application Icons 1-6", the arrangement number of the first application icon 3 is 6. The application column with the first application number greater than or equal to the arrangement number under the second application column to be selected is the third row of application columns. At this time, "Application Icons 3-6" with the arrangement number 6 in the third row of application columns can be used as the second application icon 5.

[0168] It is worth noting that if the second application category selected by the user is empty, the system can automatically navigate to the next application category of that second application category and apply page focus to that next application category.

[0169] In this embodiment, by selecting the corresponding page focus movement method based on the relationship between the arrangement number and the number of applications, the flexibility and rationality of page focus movement can be guaranteed.

[0170] Based on the above embodiments, in this application embodiment, after the controller controls the display to show the column editing page, an application location editing method is also provided, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0171] S1010, in response to an edit-triggered operation on a third application icon, switches the third application icon from a non-edit state to an edit state.

[0172] The so-called third application icon is the application icon that is the focus of the column editing page. The so-called edit-triggered operation is the operation of editing the position information of the third application icon. The so-called non-editing state is the immovable state, and the so-called editing state is the movable state.

[0173] Understandably, to avoid accidental adjustments to the positions of application icons during application selection, all application icons are in a non-editable state when entering the category editing page. Therefore, if a user needs to adjust the position of a third application icon, they can first shift the page focus to that icon; then, they can initiate the editing action via remote control. For example, with the third application icon in focus, the user can long-press the confirmation button on the remote control, such as the "OK" button, to initiate the editing action. Alternatively, voice control can be used, such as speaking the keyword "edit icon position" to initiate the editing action.

[0174] In one alternative implementation, after detecting an edit trigger operation for the third application icon, the third application icon can be switched from a non-edit state to an edit state in order to make subsequent position adjustments.

[0175] S1020 receives button information sent by the remote control device when the third application icon is in edit mode.

[0176] The so-called button information refers to the displacement information sent by the remote control device to adjust the position of the third application icon. Furthermore, the button information may include button information in the horizontal and / or vertical directions.

[0177] In one alternative implementation, the presence or absence of a third application icon can be determined based on its icon style. For example, if the third application icon is highlighted while other applications are not highlighted, the third application icon is determined to be in edit mode.

[0178] Furthermore, when the third application icon is confirmed to be in edit mode, it can receive key press information sent by the user via the remote control device. This key press information can be initiated by the user pressing the up arrow button on the remote control device. Furthermore, the specific movement distance can be determined based on the number of times the user presses the button. For example, if the user presses the left button three times, the key press information indicates a leftward movement of three application distance units.

[0179] It is worth noting that even when all application icons are in an unedited state, the display device will still receive button information sent by the remote control device, but the received button information will be applied to the application selection.

[0180] S1030, based on the button information, moves the position of the third application icon under its respective application category, or moves the third application icon to the third application category.

[0181] The third application category is any application category other than the one to which the third application icon belongs.

[0182] Optionally, the button information can be parsed based on the arrangement of each application category and the arrangement of each application icon within the application category to obtain the position adjustment information for the third application icon; then, the third application icon can be moved according to the position adjustment information.

[0183] For example, when the application categories are arranged vertically and the application icons within each category are arranged horizontally, the vertical button information will adjust the position of the third application icon among the application categories, and the horizontal button information will adjust the position of the third application icon within its respective application category.

[0184] Based on this, the direction of movement corresponding to the key press can be determined according to the direction indicator in the key press information. When the movement direction is horizontal, the position of the third application icon within its application category can be moved according to the movement distance parameter in the key press information. For example, you can refer to... Figure 11 The page editing diagram shown illustrates that, with the button information indicating a leftward shift of 2 application distance units, the third application icon 6, "Application Icon 3-7", can be moved to the original position 7 where "Application Icon 3-5" was located. After that, the positions of the original "Application Icon 3-5" and the original "Application Icon 3-6" are adjusted sequentially to the right.

[0185] When the movement direction is vertical, the third application icon can be moved to the corresponding third application category based on the movement distance parameter in the button information. For example, you can refer to... Figure 12 The page editing diagram shown illustrates that, with the button information indicating a move up two application distance units, the third application icon 8, "Application Icon 3-4," can be moved to the original position 9 of "Application Icon 1-4." Then, the positions of the original "Application Icon 1-4" to "Application Icon 1-6" are sequentially moved backward.

[0186] It is worth noting that when a user wants to move the position of a third application icon under a third application category, they can first use the vertical button information to move the third application icon to the third application category, and then use the horizontal button information to adjust the position of the third application icon under the third application category; or, they can first use the horizontal button information to adjust the position of the third application icon in its original application category, and then use the vertical button information to move the adjusted third application icon to the third application category. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0187] In this embodiment, after the third application icon is switched from a non-editing state to an editing state, the position of the third application icon is adjusted in its respective application category and among the application categories according to the movement method represented by the button information, which can ensure the flexibility and reliability of the application icon position editing.

[0188] Based on the above embodiments, in this application embodiment, after moving the third application to the third application section, a method for saving the editing results is also provided, such as... Figure 13 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0189] S1310, in response to an edit and save operation on a third application icon, retrieves the number of applications under the third application category.

[0190] The "edit and save" operation refers to saving the edited position of the third application icon. The "number of applications under the third application category" refers to the number of application icons in the third application category.

[0191] In one alternative implementation, the edit and save operation for a third application icon can be initiated via a remote control device. For example, when the page focus is on the third application icon, the edit and save operation for the third application icon can be initiated by briefly pressing a confirmation button on the remote control device, such as the "OK" button. Alternatively, voice control or other methods can be used, such as speaking keywords like "save icon location" to initiate the edit and save operation for the third application icon.

[0192] After detecting an edit and save operation on the third application icon, the number of applications under the third application category can be obtained from the layout information of the category editing page based on the category identifier of the third application category.

[0193] S1320: Determine whether the number of applications under the third application category is less than or equal to the preset number threshold. If yes, execute S1330; otherwise, execute S1340.

[0194] The preset quantity threshold refers to the maximum number of applications that can be saved in each application category. For example, the preset quantity threshold can be 30.

[0195] Understandably, in order to ensure the efficiency of user queries, the number of applications in each application category cannot be expanded indefinitely. Therefore, based on the total number of applications in the category editing page, the maximum number of applications that can be saved in each application category can be determined, and the maximum number of applications can be used as a preset number threshold.

[0196] Then, if the number of applications under the third application category is less than or equal to the preset number threshold, the following step S1330 is executed; if the number of applications under the third application category is greater than the preset number threshold, the following step S1340 is executed.

[0197] S1330, changes the third application icon from edit mode to non-edit mode.

[0198] Understandably, if the number of applications under the third application category is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it proves that the position of the third application icon after editing meets the quantity requirements, and the editing result can be saved normally. At this time, the third application icon can be directly changed from the edit state to the non-edit state.

[0199] It is worth noting that changing the third application icon from edit mode to non-edit mode does not mean exiting the category editing page. After saving the current editing results, users can continue to perform the next edit on the category editing page.

[0200] S1340: Keep the third application icon in edit mode and output a prompt message for re-editing the third application icon.

[0201] The so-called re-edit prompt message is used to remind users to re-edit the position of the third application icon.

[0202] Understandably, if the number of applications under the third application category exceeds the preset threshold, it means that the position of the third application icon after editing does not meet the quantity requirements, and the editing result cannot be saved normally. In this case, it is necessary to keep the editing state of the third application icon.

[0203] Furthermore, a re-edit prompt can be displayed on the category editing page via a pop-up / overlay. Understandably, to facilitate icon repositioning for users, a repositioning plan for other application icons in the third application category can be automatically generated based on the position editing records of each application icon in the third application category. This repositioning plan is then added to the re-edit prompt for user reference, thereby reducing the number of applications in the third application category to a preset threshold, facilitating the saving of the repositioning results for the third application icons.

[0204] In the embodiments of this application, by introducing a preset quantity threshold, the number of applications in the third application section is limited, thereby avoiding the problem of low query efficiency caused by a large number of applications in the third application section when displaying the third application section on the main page, thus improving the rationality of adjusting the position of the third application icon.

[0205] Based on the above embodiments, this application embodiment provides an optional method for displaying application sections, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0206] S1410, control the display to display a first application column in a first display style and at least one second application column in a second display style on the column editing page.

[0207] The first display style refers to the display style for the currently selected application section. The second display style refers to the display style for the currently unselected application section. For example, the first display style can be a highlighted style and / or an icon magnification style, while the second display style can be a non-highlighted style.

[0208] Understandably, in order to help users distinguish between the currently selected and unselected application categories on the category editing page, the first application category can be displayed using a first display style, and at least one second application category can be displayed using a second display style.

[0209] S1420, in response to the selection operation for the second application column, controls the display to display the application icon under the selected second application column in the column editing page in a first display style, and to display the application icons under other application columns in a second display style.

[0210] The so-called "other application sections" refer to the application sections other than the second application section in the section editing page.

[0211] After detecting a selection operation for the second application category, in order to distinguish between the currently selected and unselected application categories, the first display style can be used to display the application icons under the selected second application category, and the second display style can be used to display the application icons under other application categories.

[0212] S1430, in response to an exit operation on the column editing page, controls the display to hide the first application column on the main page and display the selected second application column.

[0213] After detecting an exit operation on the column editing page, the original first application column can be hidden on the main page, and the selected second application column can be displayed, thus completing the adjustment of the application columns on the main page.

[0214] In this embodiment of the application, by adopting different display styles to distinguish between the application categories selected by the user and those not selected by the user, the user's selection results can be displayed in real time during the application category selection process to prompt the user, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the application category selection.

[0215] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, each application category in the category editing page corresponds to a selection control. Based on this, step S1420 is refined as follows: in response to a click operation on any selection control, the display is controlled to show the application icon of the selected second application category in a first display style, and to show the application icons of other application categories in a second display style on the category editing page.

[0216] The second selected application category is the application category corresponding to the selection control.

[0217] Understandably, to more intuitively display the user's application selection results, a corresponding selection control can be configured for each application category. For example, you can refer to... Figure 12 The page editing diagram shown below indicates that the circular control 10 on the left side of each application section is the selection control.

[0218] In one alternative embodiment, the user can use the directional buttons on the remote control to adjust the selection of each control. After selecting any control, the user can initiate a click operation on that control by pressing a button on the remote control. For example, the user can initiate a click operation on the control by briefly pressing a button on the remote control, such as the "OK" button.

[0219] At this time, the monitor can be controlled to display the application icon of the selected second application category in the first display style on the category editing page, and to display the application icons of other application categories in the second display style.

[0220] In this embodiment, by introducing a selection control, the user's selection results for the application section can be displayed more intuitively, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the application section selection.

[0221] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, an optional embodiment is provided. See also the embodiments in this application. Figure 15 The diagram shown illustrates the page display process between the display device and the remote control device, including:

[0222] S1501, Display device controls the display to show the main page of the display device.

[0223] The main page is configured to display an application category, with the first application category displayed on the main page; the content of the first application category includes the application icons located under the first application category.

[0224] S1502, the remote control device initiates a column editing operation on the main page to the display device.

[0225] S1503, the display device controls the display to display a first application column in a first display style and at least one second application column in a second display style on the column editing page.

[0226] The column editing page displays a first application column and at least one second application column; the content of the second application column includes application icons located under the second application column.

[0227] S1504, The remote control device initiates a click operation on the display device for the selection control corresponding to the second application column.

[0228] S1505, the display device controls the display to display the application icon of the second application column corresponding to the selection control in the column editing page in the first display style, and to display the application icons of other application columns in the second display style, and to move the focus of the column editing page from the first application icon to the second application icon according to the position information of the first application icon in the target application column and the number of applications in the selected second application column.

[0229] Among them, "Other Applications" refers to the application categories on the category editing page other than the second application category. The first application icon is the application icon currently in focus on the category editing page; the target application category is the application category to which the first application icon belongs.

[0230] Optionally, if the number of applications in the selected second application category is less than or equal to the number of applications in the selected second application category, the application icon at the selected second application category's number will be used as the second application icon, and the focus of the category editing page will be moved from the first application icon to the second application icon; if the number of applications in the selected second application category is greater than the number of applications in the selected second application category, the application icon at the end of the selected second application category will be used as the second application icon, or the application icon in the next application category corresponding to the selected second application category will be used as the second application icon, and the focus of the category editing page will be moved from the first application icon to the second application icon.

[0231] S1506, The remote control device initiates an exit operation for the main page to the display device.

[0232] S1507, The display device controls the display to hide the first application column on the main page and display the selected second application column.
