The wake-up signal includes a broadcast wake-up signal, a system wake-up signal, and a user wake-up signal. The user wake-up signal has a higher priority than the system wake-up signal, and the system wake-up signal has a higher priority than the broadcast wake-up signal.

[0008] In one alternative implementation, determining the target grouping of the second display device among a plurality of display devices includes: Retrieve the grouping configuration items for each of multiple display devices; Extract the binary group code from the grouping configuration item of the candidate display device, wherein the binary group code has a fixed length, each bit of the binary group code indicates the group of the candidate display device, and multiple display devices include candidate display devices; If the binary group code of the second display device and the binary group code of the candidate display device have the same preset value in the first bit, then both the second display device and the candidate display device will be marked as the first group. If the binary group code of the second display device and the binary group code of the candidate display device have the same preset value in the second bit, then both the second display device and the candidate display device are marked as the second group, the first bit is different from the second bit, and the first group is different from the second group; The first group and the second group are used as target groups.

[0009] In one optional implementation, controlling the second display device to enter the target state according to the target signal includes: If the target signal is a sleep signal, then control the second display device to enter sleep mode and reduce the screen brightness; If the target signal is a wake-up signal, the second display device is controlled to enter the wake-up state and the screen brightness is increased.

[0010] In one alternative implementation, in response to a first display device triggering a sleep signal, the method includes: If the idle time of the first display device is greater than or equal to the preset timeout threshold, or if a sleep command is received, the sleep signal is triggered.

[0011] In one alternative implementation, in response to a wake-up signal triggered by a first display device, the method includes: If the first display device meets any of the wake-up conditions, an indication wake-up signal is triggered, wherein the wake-up conditions include: the first display device detects a user input signal, the first display device receives a user wake-up command, or the first display device receives a broadcast wake-up command from any of the multiple display devices.

[0012] Secondly, this application provides a management device for display devices, wherein multiple display devices are located on the same network, and the device includes: The first control module is used to control the first display device to enter the target state in response to a target trigger signal from a first display device among multiple display devices; A grouping module is used to determine the target group of the second display device among multiple display devices, wherein the first display device is different from the second display device; The second control module is used to control the second display device to enter the target state according to the target signal if the target group includes the first display device.

[0016] According to the display device management method provided in this application, multiple display devices are located in the same network, which achieves the following beneficial technical effects compared to the prior art: In response to a target signal triggered by a first display device among multiple display devices, the system controls the first display device to enter a target state, which may be a sleep state or a wake-up state, to promptly respond to operations on the first display device. It also determines the target group of a second display device among the multiple display devices, since the first display device is different from the second display device, grouping different display devices within the same network. If the target group includes the first display device, the system controls the second display device to enter the target state based on the target signal. This achieves the same command control over display devices in the same group within the same network. When the target signal is a sleep command, display devices in the same group can simultaneously enter sleep mode, thereby reducing power consumption. When the target signal is a wake-up command, display devices in the same group can be simultaneously woken up, quickly entering working mode. This achieves display device state synchronization, reduces power consumption, and improves user experience. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0024] It should be noted that, Figure 1 This is merely an example of an application scenario and does not limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] In the field of the Internet of Things (IoT), an increasing number of devices are equipped with display screens for easier interaction. In this embodiment, the device with the display screen is referred to as a display device. Display devices generally need to operate for extended periods, but keeping the screen constantly active can lead to unnecessary energy consumption and device aging. Furthermore, in some scenarios, users need to control the screen to enter sleep mode. In related technologies, the sleep strategy of a single display device suffers from state synchronization issues in a network environment. For example, if one display device goes to sleep while other devices remain awake, it affects the user experience and fails to achieve optimal energy efficiency. Therefore, how to achieve low energy consumption and state synchronization among multiple display devices on the same network has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0026] According to an embodiment of this application, a method for managing a display device is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0027] This embodiment provides a method for managing display devices. Multiple display devices reside on the same network, and this method can be used with a controller (e.g., a gateway or mobile terminal) that manages the network containing the multiple display devices. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a display device management method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps: Step S201: In response to the first display device triggering a target signal among a plurality of display devices, the first display device is controlled to enter a target state, which includes a sleep state or a wake-up state.

[0028] Specifically, the first display device refers to any one of multiple display devices in the same network. The target signal refers to the instruction that controls the first display device to enter a target state, such as a sleep instruction or a wake-up instruction. The target state refers to the response of the first display device to the target signal, such as a sleep state or a wake-up state.

[0029] When the first display device among multiple display devices is triggered by a target signal, the controller of the network to which the multiple display devices are located controls the first display device to enter the target state.

[0030] In one example, when the controller of a network containing multiple display devices receives a user's instruction to put the first display device into sleep mode, the controller controls the first display device to enter sleep mode.

[0031] Step S202: Determine the target group of the second display device among multiple display devices, wherein the first display device is different from the second display device.

[0032] Specifically, the second display device refers to any display device that is in the same network as the first display device, but is different from the first display device. The target group refers to the group in which the second display device belongs among multiple display devices; display devices in the same group support the synchronous execution of the same command.

[0033] In order to determine whether a second display device on the same network needs to execute the same control commands as the first display device, it is necessary to determine the group of the second display device among the multiple display devices.

[0034] It should be noted that this group includes at least one subgroup.

[0035] In one example, if the second display device and the partial display device need to be woken up synchronously, then the second display device and the partial display device belong to the same group and can be labeled as the first group.

[0036] In another example, if the second display device needs to synchronize with another set of display devices to go into sleep mode, then the second display device and the other set of display devices belong to the same group and can be labeled as the second group.

[0037] Step S203: If the target group includes the first display device, control the second display device to enter the target state according to the target signal.

[0038] Specifically, if the target group includes the first display device, it means that the first display device and the second display device are in the same group in the network and can execute the same target signal. In this case, the second display device is also controlled to enter the target state.

[0039] The display device management method provided in this embodiment involves multiple display devices operating within the same network. In response to a target signal triggered by a first display device, the first display device is controlled to enter a target state, which may be a sleep state or a wake-up state, to promptly respond to operations on the first display device. A target group for a second display device is determined, where the first display device differs from the second, thus grouping different display devices within the same network. If the target group includes the first display device, the second display device is controlled to enter the target state based on the target signal. This achieves identical command control over display devices within the same group within the same network. When the target signal is a sleep command, display devices within the same group can simultaneously enter sleep mode, reducing power consumption. When the target signal is a wake-up command, display devices within the same group can be simultaneously woken up, quickly entering working mode. This achieves display device state synchronization, reduces power consumption, and improves user experience.

[0040] In one possible implementation, the target signal is a sleep signal, the target state is a sleep state, and step S201 includes: Step a: In response to the first display device triggering a sleep signal, control the first display device to enter a sleep state. The sleep signal includes a timeout sleep signal, a system sleep signal, and a user sleep signal. The user sleep signal has a higher priority than the system sleep signal, and the system sleep signal has a higher priority than the timeout sleep signal.

[0041] Specifically, a hibernation signal refers to a command issued by the user or system to instruct the display device to enter hibernation mode, used to completely save the system state and enter a deep power-saving mode. A timeout hibernation signal refers to a signal that automatically enters hibernation mode after the standby time exceeds a preset duration, such as automatically turning off the screen after 5 minutes. A system hibernation signal refers to a signal set in the operating system to control the display device to enter hibernation mode, such as automatically turning off the screen when the display device is obstructed or covered by external objects. A user hibernation signal refers to a signal issued directly by the user through software or hardware to control the display device to enter hibernation mode. To ensure timely response to user commands and rapid issuance and execution of user commands, user hibernation commands have a higher priority than system hibernation signals. To respond to various hibernation-related system signals, system hibernation signals have a higher priority than timeout hibernation signals.

[0042] This implementation method can significantly improve the response speed of the display device when the sleep signal is triggered, reduce energy consumption, and improve the user experience.

[0043] In one possible implementation, step a above, in response to the first display device triggering a sleep signal, includes: If the idle time of the first display device is greater than or equal to the preset timeout threshold, or if a sleep command is received, the sleep signal is triggered.

[0044] Specifically, the idle time of the first display device refers to the time during which the memory usage and / or processor utilization in the controller of the first display device are low. The preset timeout threshold is a numerical value that measures the length of the idle time of the first display device. If the idle time of the first display device is greater than or equal to the preset timeout threshold, or if the first display device receives a hibernation command, it indicates that the hibernation conditions have been met, and a hibernation signal is triggered.

[0045] This implementation provides a condition for the first display device to trigger a sleep command. It allows the first display device to clearly understand the preconditions for triggering the sleep command, facilitating quick confirmation of the sleep command and enabling timely response or feedback.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the target signal is a wake-up signal, the target state is a wake-up state, and step S201 includes: Step b: In response to the wake-up signal triggered by the first display device, control the first display device to enter the wake-up state. The wake-up signal includes a broadcast wake-up signal, a system wake-up signal, and a user wake-up signal. The user wake-up signal has a higher priority than the system wake-up signal, and the system wake-up signal has a higher priority than the broadcast wake-up signal.

[0047] Specifically, a wake-up signal is a signal that causes the first display device to enter working mode from sleep mode. Wake-up state refers to the state in which the display device resumes normal operation from sleep or standby mode. A broadcast wake-up signal is a signal that wakes the first display device from sleep mode via broadcast communication. A system wake-up signal is a signal set in the operating system to control the display device to exit sleep mode and enter wake-up state. A user wake-up signal is a signal directly issued by the user through software or hardware to control the display device to enter wake-up state from sleep mode. To quickly respond to user wake-up commands, user wake-up signals have a higher priority than system wake-up signals. Conversely, to respond to various wake-up-related system signals, system wake-up signals have a higher priority than broadcast wake-up signals.

[0048] In one example, based on an event and broadcast mechanism, the first display device triggers a broadcast wake-up signal, which is then broadcast to all display devices for unified wake-up. When a user wake-up signal and a broadcast wake-up signal occur simultaneously, the user wake-up signal is given priority, waking up all display devices in the same group as the first display device.

[0049] This implementation improves the response speed of the display device to wake-up commands from users and the system, and enables synchronous wake-up of the display device.

[0050] In one possible implementation, step b above, in response to the first display device triggering a wake-up signal, includes: If the first display device meets any of the wake-up conditions, an indication wake-up signal is triggered, wherein the wake-up conditions include: the first display device detects a user input signal, the first display device receives a user wake-up command, or the first display device receives a broadcast wake-up command from any of the multiple display devices.

[0051] Specifically, the wake-up condition refers to the conditions that the first display device needs to meet to enter the wake-up state from the sleep state. These conditions include the first display device detecting a user input signal, i.e., the user issuing a specific command to wake up the first display device, or the first display device receiving a broadcast wake-up command from any of the multiple display devices, i.e., waking up multiple display devices in batches, including the first display device.

[0052] When the first display device meets any of the above wake-up conditions, it indicates that the wake-up signal can be triggered, and then the first display device is controlled to respond to the wake-up signal.

[0053] This implementation provides a condition for the first display device to trigger a wake-up command. It allows the first display device to clearly understand the preconditions for triggering the wake-up command, facilitating quick confirmation of the wake-up command and enabling timely response or feedback.

[0054] In one possible implementation, step S202 includes: Step S2021: Obtain the grouping configuration items for each of the multiple display devices.

[0055] Specifically, the group configuration item refers to a configuration file that stores the group classification of each display device among multiple display devices. To perform state synchronization management of display devices based on their groups, the configuration file stored in the controller of each display device is read.

[0056] Step S2022: Extract the binary group code from the group configuration item of the candidate display device. The binary group code has a fixed length, and each bit of the binary group code indicates the group of the candidate display device. Multiple display devices include candidate display devices.

[0057] Specifically, a candidate display device refers to any one of multiple display devices on the same network. The binary group code has a fixed length of bits, with each bit representing the group of the current display device.

[0058] Extract the binary group code recorded in the group configuration item from any one of the multiple display devices to confirm the group of the current display device.

[0059] Step S2023: If the binary group code of the second display device and the binary group code of the candidate display device have the same preset value in the first bit, then both the second display device and the candidate display device are marked as the first group.

[0060] Specifically, the first group refers to the group of display devices that are classified into the same group. The first bit refers to any bit in the binary group code, for example, the bit of 1 in 001 is 1, and the bit of 1 in 100 is 3. If the binary group code of the second display device and the binary group code of the candidate display device have the same preset value at the first bit, it means that the group represented by the first bit contains both the second display device and the candidate display device, and this group is marked as the first group.

[0061] Step S2024: If the binary group code of the second display device and the binary group code of the candidate display device have the same preset value in the second bit, then both the second display device and the candidate display device are marked as the second group, the first bit is different from the second bit, and the first group is different from the second group.

[0062] Specifically, the second bit refers to any bit in the binary group code, indicating its position within the binary group code. The second bit is different from the first bit. The second group refers to the group of display devices within the same group. If the binary group code of the second display device and the binary group code of the candidate display device have the same value at the second bit, then both the second display device and the candidate display device are marked as belonging to the second group, which is different from the first group.

[0063] Step S2025: Select the first group and the second group as the target group.

[0064] Specifically, after obtaining the first and second packets of the second display device and the candidate display device, the first and second packets can be used as target packets in the network where multiple devices are located.

[0065] It should be noted that the first group and the second group are only shown as two groups, but more groups can actually be used to represent the target group.

[0066] In one example of this implementation, the display device is represented by UI, and the group configuration items for all display devices are represented by UIG. Key-value pairs are used to represent the configuration information of the current display device in UIG. The binary group code for each configuration item is stored in the value corresponding to the key address, represented by a fixed length of 8 bits, with each bit corresponding to the group of a display device. If the value of the same bit in the binary group code of each display device is 1, it indicates that these display devices are in the same group. Specifically, in the following 6 display devices, each display device's group configuration item contains one binary group code, which identifies the corresponding group.

[0067] UI 1: In UIG, key: address, value: 00000001 UI 2: In UIG, key: address, value: 00000001 UI 3: In UIG, key: address, value: 10000000 UI 4: In UIG, key: address, value: 10000010 UI 5: In UIG, key: address, value: 10000001 UI 6: In UIG, key: address, value: 10000011 Based on the binary group code stored in the above value, we can see that (UI 1, UI 2, UI 5, UI 6) are in the same group, (UI 3, UI4, UI 5, UI 6) are in the same group, and (UI 4, UI 6) are in the same group.

[0068] This implementation method allows for the grouping of display devices across multiple display devices, enabling centralized batch control of different groups. When different groups correspond to different functions, the functionality of multiple display devices can also be expanded. Furthermore, in different scenarios, group configuration items can be pre-configured according to user needs, allowing for fine-grained control of the wake-up or sleep states of display devices in different groups. This improves user efficiency and user experience.

[0069] In one possible implementation, step S203, controlling the second display device to enter the target state based on the target signal, includes: In step S2031, if the target signal is a sleep signal, the second display device is controlled to enter sleep mode and the screen brightness is reduced.

[0070] Specifically, if the target signal is a sleep signal, then the controller of the multiple display devices controls the second display device to enter a sleep state and controls the second display device to reduce the screen brightness.

[0071] In step S2032, if the target signal is a wake-up signal, the second display device is controlled to enter the wake-up state and the screen brightness is increased.

[0072] Specifically, if the target signal is a wake-up signal, then the controller of the multiple display devices controls the second display device to enter the wake-up state and controls the second display device to increase the screen brightness.

[0073] In this implementation, the controllers of multiple display devices control a second display device to respond quickly to the target signal and enter the target state, thereby executing the sleep / wake-up signal. When the target signal is a sleep signal, the power consumption of the display devices is reduced. When the target signal is a wake-up signal, the user experience is improved.

[0074] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the sleep response of a display device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, when multiple display devices on the same network are running, they are allowed to enter standby mode when the sleep switch is on. When the sleep switch is off, they exit standby mode and are forced to remain active. All display elements on the display devices display normally. Enabling timely response of display devices to sleep signals can reduce their power consumption.

[0075] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a display device grouping according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, configuring display device groups involves writing the binary group code configuration item for each display device into a key-value pair (kv) library. This binary group code is represented using 16 bytes, with each bit representing a group. Display devices within the same group share the same number of bits. This grouping method allows multiple display devices on the same network to be configured into different groups, enabling centralized control of different groups. For example, groups can collectively enter sleep or wake-up states, improving control efficiency and achieving state synchronization.

[0076] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of another display device management method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, after multiple display devices in the same network start up, the controllers of these devices read the group configuration of each device and load information containing binary group codes from the key-value pair library. They then determine whether the display device group is configured. If no group information is configured, the display device operates with default behavior, allowing all wake-up actions. If the display device group is configured, it listens for sleep or wake-up events, parses the event's source address (binary group code), and compares the bits corresponding to the source address with the current display device's binary group code, checking if the same bit is 1. If so, it means the current device and the device listening for the event belong to the same group, so it responds to wake-up and exits sleep mode; otherwise, it ignores the event and saves the current state.

[0077] In one possible implementation, a sleep switch for the display device can be created. When the switch is turned on, the sleep command is broadcast to all display devices on the same network. When the user is asleep, turning on the sleep switch allows for a one-click screen shutdown, turning off all display devices and preventing light pollution from affecting sleep. This improves the user experience.

[0078] According to the management method for multiple display devices in this embodiment, by configuring the display devices in groups, different display devices can be quickly organized and managed according to their usage purposes. Devices with the same control purpose can be assigned to a group for batch wake-up or hibernation. This achieves synchronization of the states of multiple display devices. Especially for hibernation, it can precisely control one or more groups of display devices to enter hibernation mode, reducing the energy consumption of the display devices.

[0079] This embodiment also provides a management device for a display device, which is used to implement the above embodiments and preferred embodiments; details already described will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function. Although the device described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.

[0080] This embodiment provides a management device for display devices, where multiple display devices are located on the same network, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it includes: The first control module 601 is used to respond to a target trigger signal from the first display device among a plurality of display devices and control the first display device to enter a target state, the target state including a sleep state or a wake-up state.

[0081] Grouping module 602 is used to determine the target group of the second display device among multiple display devices, wherein the first display device is different from the second display device.

[0082] The second control module 603 is used to control the second display device to enter the target state according to the target signal if the target group includes the first display device.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the target signal is a sleep signal, the target state is a sleep state, and the first control module 601 includes: A sleep unit is used to control the first display device to enter a sleep state in response to a sleep signal triggered by the first display device. The sleep signal includes a timeout sleep signal, a system sleep signal, and a user sleep signal. The user sleep signal has a higher priority than the system sleep signal, and the system sleep signal has a higher priority than the timeout sleep signal.
